Chapter 389: Unlucky
There is a kind of bad luck called drinking cold water and stuffing your teeth, and the current situation of Zhou is almost like this. One of the sections of the underground route he chose was transformed into a lair by a wanted criminal of the Alliance.
The key offender was also a necromancer, but he turned his back on the Dark Alliance due to philosophical differences. If you think about the entry threshold of the Dark Alliance, you know that this fugitive is very difficult to handle.
At this time, the fugitive Posente, who was living in a corner of the underground tunnel, was muttering to himself, "What went wrong?" The retrofit experiment has failed again! ”
Unlike most necromancers who transform themselves for the purpose of achieving immortality, Posente believes that it is better to transform oneself than to modify the environment, and that adapting the environment to oneself rather than oneself to the environment will be faster, safer, and less effort to achieve the purpose of immortality.
This seemingly feasible theory was opposed by the majority of the coalition. Not because of anything else, but just because of the orderly who sent him materials from the alliance at that time, there were not a few who died in the environment he transformed. This group of sad guys just stepped into the door of people's homes, and they were tortured to death by the harsh environment.
You must know that most of the people who can join the logistics department of the alliance are not strong but have complex connections. Some of the elders' descendants are not below a few. The devil knows what he has transformed the environment into, whether it is a necromancer, a skeleton, a vampire, a zombie, as long as there is no special means, he simply does not stand out of it.
Because of the mass deaths of these related households, Portson, who is not stupid, knows that he is in big trouble. He knew that the elders in the alliance were terrible, and if they joined forces, he was afraid that he would die, so without informing anyone, this thing ran away shamelessly.
As for why this passage was chosen, it is necessary to talk about the rebellion caused by Nigon Morriel before. As a result of this, the Dark Alliance has completely lost contact with the Shadow Wings. As a result, this tunnel connecting the two was forgotten by both sides.
In fact, what Posente didn't know was that since he escaped, the elders immediately condemned him as a traitor. However, no one has made any moves to find him. After all, his environmental transformation technique was too terrifying, and except for some upper-level elders with special props, other ordinary elders couldn't last much time. And the reason why the upper elders did not arrest him was because Posente did not publicly declare his defection.
During this period, the elders of the deceased relatives and descendants also tried to persuade the upper elders to characterize the matter, or lend them props to deal with it themselves. It's a pity that the upper-level elders don't look down on the ditches and hurdles in this and the random arrangement of related households, and they want to take this opportunity to beat them, how can they lend them props?
This is also the main reason why Posente can live in the underground tunnel for more than ten years.
At this time, the three of Zhou Xuanshu had already embarked on an underground journey with the super burden of the Nigong envoy. The short trip to the underground tunnel made Zhou, who had been in the battle, feel relaxed both mentally and physically.
"It's been a smooth ride! Thanks to the map provided by this guy Feng, otherwise we might have encountered some monsters, trouble, or something like that. ”
Zhou Zhanshu did not set up a flag indiscriminately, but after careful investigation, he found that this tunnel was walked by someone many years ago. If someone walks by, it means that the danger rate is greatly reduced. For the purpose of appeasing the mentally tense and rumored Nigon envoys who were afraid of the elves' sneak attack, Zhou Xuanshu said this.
"My lord, speaking of this underground passage. It is truly a natural miracle, and it is really beautiful to look at the black pearl-like, Milky Way underground river. ”
If it weren't for the lack of greenery, this was the best place to live in Alan's heart.
"No, this river is very wrong!"
Sophie interrupted Allen's imagination and pointed to the scary river that reflected the light and light: "This river is too silvery and transparent, and there is no vegetation or life around it, this is a river that gives birth to life, it is simply a dead river." ”
After Sophie's reminder, Zhou Xiaoshu carefully observed the river water. It turned out to be really as Sophie said, very abnormal. And the further you look at the direction of the river, the higher the silver reflectivity.
"The source of the contamination may be downstream. Although we don't know what caused it, we have to be careful and try not to go near the river. What kind of branches do you produce on one side? ”
As soon as Zhou Xuanshu finished speaking, a painful roar came from behind him.
When they turned to look, they saw a caveman following the messenger of Nigon, with his short forelimbs, pinching at its invisible neck, tearing it with all his might. Within a few moments, the caveman not only turned red, like a steamed lobster. And it was not well covered, and a slightly silvery liquid continued to flow down the oblique mouth, all indicating that the culprit was the river water they had commented on before.
"Horror, really scary! The soldier of the Nigon messenger had only been poisoned in this way by obtaining water shortly after entering. What kind of toxin is so domineering. Polluting the upper reaches of the river to this level. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the other soldiers who followed the messenger of Nigon untied their water bladders and threw them into the river. Seeing them avoid snakes and scorpions, Alan swallowed.
"The water source here is already polluted, and I'm afraid that the further you go inside, the more polluted it becomes. Don't know if the air will be polluted? ”
After finishing speaking, Zhou Zhishu smashed his fist on the wall of the cave, and said with some gloom.
"Mr. Emissary of Nigon, why don't you summon a few elemental creatures and explore the way ahead. See what's going on? If it's really irresistible, it's still too late for us to change our route! ”
Although Zhou Zhen's words were polite, there was no doubt in his tone.
As a first-class envoy of Nigon, who has a first-class observation of words and expressions, a first-class change of face, a degree of shamelessness, and a first-class ability to hug his thighs, he said with a flattering face: "It's okay to call the little Levin!" The small ones will do it, and the adults will be asked to wait later. ”
As Levin's spell took effect, a water elemental was summoned. At Levin's command, the water elemental jumped into the river without hesitation. Just as Levin finished instructing the water elemental, he turned to Zhou to destroy his injuries and return to his life. The water elemental summoned by Levin was instantly dissolved into an ordinary pool of water by the toxins in the river as soon as he stepped off the river.
"Try the air element, and let the air element probe along the river."
From the reaction just now, even the layman Zhou Xuan saw that this toxin was not a toxin of plants and trees at all, but more like a chemical toxin like factory sewage in the real world.
During the analysis of Zhou Xuan's injury, Allen beside him said firmly: "This poison is artificially synthesized!" ”
