Chapter 1058: The First Appearance of the Demon (1)
When Lu Kuan got things done here, he returned to Rune City, followed by countless high-level players flocking to him, scrambling to explore.
If there are players, there must be supplies, and this will be followed by various commercial activities, and there are merchants with a keen sense of smell in Hathunter Town, who have set up stalls on the periphery early for players to buy, but the scale is not comparable to that of Runetera City.
Those local gangs that were originally quite reluctant to Rune City were all silent after the Mage Tower camp rose from the ground in just half a month.
Rune City naturally wouldn't be polite, and directly started his old business in the camp, with sufficient financial support, and soon won the title of "No. 1 Supply Point" on this map.
At this time, five miles south of the camp.
Dudumawi, the gnoll man, dressed in light armor, was standing on a boulder and observing the surrounding terrain.
The pair of short spears it used before were gone, replaced by a pair of steel jabs on both hands, a +1 enhanced weapon that came standard with Squadron Leader level NPCs in Runeterra, plus a small amount of Adamantite mixed in.
Because of Dumawi's outstanding performance, he had been promoted from the original squad leader to the current deputy squadron leader a few days ago, and because the full-time squadron leader had to assist in taking charge of the security of the camp, the more than 70 brave soldiers under his command were actually all under Dumawi's command.
At this time, Dumawi's eyes fell to the east, not far away, was the ruins of an abandoned village, about twenty houses, already dilapidated, the village was covered with flying leaves, and it was desolate.
"Boss, I'm afraid that old man didn't see it wrong, right?"
Underneath the stone, a halfling looked up at Dumawi, and said in a sharp voice: "What kind of green lightning, and smoke or something, it must be dazzling, the magic traces of this forest, the archmage has already led people to carefully check." ”
Most people in Runeney City are accustomed to calling Wood Bird an archmage, and will be called Mr. Will directly, because the latter is relatively more approachable.
Dumawi disagreed with his subordinates' claims.
These villages, which had been destroyed by the undead army, were no longer inhabitable, and the Mage Tower camp took in these civilians, re-established a unified village, and absorbed a lot of local rumors.
The reason why everyone came here was because people from the surrounding villages reported to the outpost that there was an eerie light nearby.
The old man who provided the information was one of the last to go to the camp, and because he was reluctant to leave, he stayed in the village for a few days before he had a chance to see the sudden green light.
It stands to reason that according to the old man's description, the green light was more than ten meters high, and the people who were shaking couldn't open their eyes, and it was impossible not to see it at night in the camp of the Mage Tower.
The terrain here is flat, not to mention the mountains, there is not even a decent hill, and the people on duty at night in the camp are at least two squadrons, more than a hundred people, are they collectively blind at that moment?
It's weird.
At this moment, two consecutive whistles came from the dry bushes, which were the signals of the sentinels, and immediately after, four RuneCity warriors ran out of the bushes.
"Did you find anything?" Seeing a few people walking fast, Dumawi lowered his head and asked.
"No enemy was found, but there was a dry grass over there, which was a bit strange." One of them said immediately.
The gnoll jumped straight down from the stone: "Go, go and see!" ”
……
After a moment, Dumawi looked at the grass in the clearing in front of him, frowning slightly.
After the labyrinth was lifted, this lush jungle was drying up day by day, and the leaves were all over the ground, but it was still somewhat green, but the grass in front of me was obviously too withered.
The gnoll man stooped down and grabbed a handful, and the dry blades of grass shattered into powder, and the grass fell so thoroughly that it lay neatly on the ground as if it had been run over by something.
And there was a faint sour smell in the air, a bit like the smell of rotten eggs, Dudumawi sniffled and looked around.
Are these suspicious points?
Barely count, the drying of the grass may have happened before the Great Lord arrived here, the lodging may have been crushed by the wild bears here, and as for the smell, you don't have to smell anything in the wild.
But Dumawi always felt that something was wrong, and after thinking about it, he ordered: "Fan search." ”
"Yes!"
The well-trained soldiers immediately dispersed and searched the small clearing, and the grass that had fallen on the ground was turned over one by one, and the ground was almost turned over.
Dudumawi turned on his horse and rode an elite wolf rewarded by the Grand Commander Rona himself, trotting around.
He soon discovered that no matter where he went, whether upwind or downwind, the faint stench in the air lingered, and the further he walked towards the center, the stronger the smell, but with Dudumawi's keen sense of smell, it was easy to tell that it was not the smell of a rotting corpse.
Besides, in such a large place, if there is a rotting corpse, Dudumawiti will know where the corpse is by raising his nose.
Right now, the smell seems to come from every corner......
"Pop ......"
At this moment, there was a sudden slight cracking sound in the air, which was so small that many of the team members did not hear it, and still searched the ground with their heads down.
But Dumawi is a gnolla known for his sensual acumen!
"Watch the top of your head! Team up! ”
The gnoll looked at the green spots that appeared in the air, and immediately shouted angrily, and the soldiers who were warned reacted quickly and retreated in unison, and the heavy armor soldiers immediately raised their shields, and there was a squad of purple-skinned trolls in the rear who had already taken off the javelins behind their backs, ready to attack at any time.
Dumawi's fists flashed with white sword qi, standing at the front of the line, while letting everyone slowly retreat, while staring at the green light above, the aura in it made the gnolls feel a sense of panic.
"Annoying ant ......"
As a vague and stiff sound came from the air, the range of green spots began to expand rapidly, and green flames splattered out of it, and when they fell to the ground, they were a raging fire, and at the same time, a strong stench came to the face.
"Atumen and Moros retreat! Go find reinforcements! ”
Dumawi's face was cold, and he gave the order at the first time, and the two warriors in light armor in the rear did not hesitate, and immediately broke away from the battle group, and the archers in it raised their hands, and a red war horse galloped out of the rear mount, carrying the two of them to the rear gallop away.
"Buy time for reinforcements! Block the portal as much as you can! Dumawi didn't say any nonsense, and then jumped off his mount, letting the wolf run into the jungle while he looked up at the sky.
The green light had spread to a size of several meters, a brilliant portal was erected in the air, and a small demon with wings had begun to fly out at the front, and behind it, a huge figure was slowly moving out of the portal.
"Devil ......" Dumawi's eyes were like ice, and the light on his fist gauntlets skyrocketed!
