Chapter 23: Arson
For a long time, Rorschach thought that Mu Yan was the kind of young mage with a strong scholarly spirit, after all, he blushed and shy at every turn, and was very shy even when dealing with girls.
But the scene in front of him made him doubt his opinion......
Did I see it wrong...... Or are mages a special kind of creatures, and their usual appearance is like that of two people when they fight with all their might...... The little mage was now talking about tactics with a frenzy in his eyes, like an artist in a state of madness......
His plan is very simple, it can be summed up in one word, burn.
In the few minutes that the two of them were in front of him, he buried at least a dozen packets of fire phosphorus powder and Huang Yanshi abrasive under the camp tent alone, and then exhausted his magic power to infiltrate the tent with greasy spells, connecting them to each other, and now as long as one spark goes down, it is guaranteed to set this small forest on fire.
But the question is, what is he doing with so much fire phosphorus powder...... Mia is on top, even the demoman of the miners doesn't have that much explosives on him, right?
"It's Chablis in March, winter hasn't gone far yet, it's just the driest time! And since just now, the breeze in the forest has not stopped! It's Mia who is protecting us! As long as the wind is a little stronger and the fire rises with the wind, this large area of dry forest will be turned into a sea of fire!! And what the undead creatures are afraid of is fire! ”
"But what about us?" Rorschach couldn't help but ask, you don't seem to have our escape route on this road......
Mu Yan scratched his head, "Uh...... We...... We ......"
"What do you do with so much, survive first!"
Faryl kicked Rorschach to signal that the enemy had arrived.
The head of the regiment seemed to be very unaccustomed to such a "desperate fight" with no way back, but there was no other way at the moment, so he slapped Mu Yan hard.
"Farol and I lure those monsters into the middle of the camp, and you watch the fire."
"But you-"
"What do you do with so much, survive first!"
He gave Farol's words to Mu Yan as they were.
"Ready!"
The two left without looking back, Mu Yan was stunned for a moment, and then he noticed that the perception that had gathered on him had shifted elsewhere. The other party has been staring at him since he set the trap just now, and now he has finally deceived him by pretending to be stupid, but it is estimated that it is only temporary.
Since the other party knows the secret of the camp, if he still lets the carrion in, it means that the prey has taken the bait, and he has relaxed his vigilance.
Otherwise, you have to have a headache.
Seeing the two walk away, Mu Yan lay behind the bushes, picked up a few wide leaves stained with dew and covered them on his body, and was not at ease, so he cut off a sleeve and covered his mouth after soaking it.
In the camp not far away, Faryl and Rorschach had been surrounded by carrion corpses again, and the people behind the scenes seemed to be tired of such chases and fights, and planned to kill the two here, so the encirclement gradually narrowed, and the carrion corpses had all reached the camp.
In the distance, Mu Yan saw Rorschach raising his long sword with his back to him, and then fell heavily, his gesture clean and neat.
In a trance, he seemed to have a sense of déjà vu, as Turing's largest naval legion, the Iron Sail Army, had a tradition in which the captain would raise his saber before each shelling, and the sailors would hold their breath and concentrate, and when the saber fell heavily, it was the time when the command to "fire" was given.
Rorschach was like a general.
syllable
Mu Yan snapped his fingers lightly, a ball of fire bloomed from his fingers, and with a flick, the spark jumped and splashed on a pool of black oil stains not far away, and then burned forward, and in the blink of an eye, a line of fire lit up, and it circled the entire camp in an instant.
The light of the fire is faint, at first glance it looks like a child's graffiti, and although the rotting corpse is afraid of flames, it is naturally not afraid of these.
At that moment, explosions rang out.
Peng Peng Peng Peng –
The flames instantly covered the oil-soaked tarpaulin, and the high temperature ignited the fire phosphorus powder and yellow stone, and the tent exploded one after another, and the sound was earth-shattering!
A lit tarpaulin was raised high by the impact, like a wall of fire, stretching in the air, swaying, and when the wind blew, it happened to fall beside Mu Yan, and the dry bushes were ignited in an instant, and the retreat was blocked.
If he wasn't Mu Yan, but a real second-ring mage, he would definitely be dead.
"Mia is on top, Lucky 2 really lives up to its name......"
Mu Yan rolled his eyes, put a transparent shield on his body, and simply pretended to be choked by the smoke and fainted.
The fire smeared outward, and the explosions in the camp continued, with the camp as the center, the forest within a radius of dozens of meters had fallen into a sea of fire, and there was a momentum that continued to spread. The temperature was getting hotter, and the rotting corpses were getting more and more impatient, but the order kept them in the flames.
"Get ready!"
Rorschach held her breath and lowered her body.
He saw an opportunity, and the carrion was disturbed by the heat and the desire to attack, revealing a huge gap. The head of the regiment suddenly lifted Faroel's hips and threw it outward. Although the incident happened suddenly, the female thief reacted instantly, threw a rope in mid-air, put it on the branch, and turned back and stretched out her hand just as she was about to leave.
"Hold on to my hand!"
Rorschach hesitated for a moment, but reached out to hold it.
The branches creaked overwhelmingly, and the two men, who had a combined weight of almost three hundred pounds, leaped over the smoke-filled camp like great apes, leaving the carrion to wail in the sea of fire.
"Click"
Just as he was about to hit the ground, the branch broke, and Rorschach quickly took Faroll in his arms and made a hard landing with his back.
The two were obviously much luckier than Mu Yan, and they fell into a burnt ash heap.
"Where's Mu Yanren?" Rorschach hurriedly stood up.
"Maybe run first......
"How is it possible, he can't run far at all, he must have fainted."
The flames had spread, and the surrounding area of the camp was lit up by fire. Rorschach and Faryl covered their mouths and noses and struggled to find Mu Yan in the sea of fire, but fortunately, Faryl stepped on Mu Yan's arm, and the two of them carried him and fled in a hurry.
Quickly escaped from the forest, the two of them stood on the official road with a corpse on their shoulders, looking at the woods that turned into a sea of fire, and they were a little happy for the rest of their lives.
Faryl looked in the direction where the vineyard was located, her eyes glazed over.
"They ......"
"They were driven back to the plantation by the monster."
Rorschach wiped his face and carried Mu Yan to the nearest stream.
"Are you going to save them?" Faryl asked.
"Hmm."
"I knew ......"
……
……
As it was almost dawn, Reg and the others ran wildly and finally retreated to the plantation.
Strangely, the fog had disappeared a lot, and as far as the eye could see, there was hardly any haze or obstruction, and the monsters behind them seemed to be very afraid because they stepped into the plantation.
They don't dare to set foot here?
Reg was a little unsure. But there was no better plan at the moment, so he had to signal everyone to walk inside a little and leave the range of the carrion shooter.
At the same time, in order to prevent getting lost, he instructed everyone to insert road signs every other part of the road, so that they could find their way out, and secondly, to ...... Let's hope Rorschach and Faryll and Master Mu Yan survive.
Soon, the group came to the site of yesterday's exchange of fire with the tunnel insects, but there is something strange here, although the site has been destroyed, and the grape trellis has also collapsed, but the holes and ravines on the ground have all been filled, and the land is level, as if no one has ever come......
"Rest here for now, Bill keeps an eye on the surroundings, and if he finds any more signs of fog, let us know immediately."
Reg commanded.
"Yes."
Seeing the scouts leave, and the others sitting down to rest, Reg was able to take care of his injuries.
He uncovered his leather armor and looked at it, and his heart suddenly tightened.
He thought he was lucky after the arrow, but now it doesn't seem to be the case at all......
The flesh of the wound was pale and there was no pain in the slightest, and it was as hard as a stone when it was poked harder......
The terrible thing is that this miserable whiteness is still spreading, and it has reached the bottom of the neck.
He suddenly had a bad premonition.
