Chapter 257: Night in the Wasteland
Above the wilderness.
The rotting branches beeped in the fire, and the maroon flames whirred like a group of dancers in a storm.
The warlocks were all sitting around the fire, talking and laughing, eating, and everyone had been in this wilderness for nearly a month, and the number of undead killed had reached tens of thousands, and they were already familiar with the environment.
Although there were casualties in the battles along the way, the number was not large, and the Shadow Priests such as Afra were able to convert to the Light Faith to heal the wounded, so the losses were acceptable, and the Warlocks didn't seem to be very afraid of death.
However, as we get closer to Stratholme, so do the dangers and difficulties they face.
"Okay, our last horses are also dead, but fortunately, it's not too far from Stratholme, and then everyone needs to summon their own horses to travel, if you can't summon them, you can ride with others." Agatha said, but a pair of beautiful eyes lingered on Song Zheng's body.
The warlocks immediately began to chant spells to summon their own horses.
The whole wilderness was filled with the breath of evil energy, and as the spell ended, the neighing of war horses was everywhere.
The warlocks seemed excited, as if it was better to ride the horses they had summoned than on ordinary horses.
Song Zheng was a little hesitant in his heart, and he didn't know whether he should expose the fact that he could summon the Fear War Horse.
After hesitating for a while, he finally decided to summon it, after all, the battle will definitely become more and more fierce in the future, and naturally horses will be needed to travel on his behalf, as for the source of this ability, he can find a reason to arrange it at will.
But before he could summon his Dread Horse, Agatha, who was already riding on a Nightmare Warhorse, warmly invited him to ride with him.
Looking at Agatha's hot figure, Song Zheng couldn't help but feel a little worried...... Riding with such a woman who is enough to charm all living beings is difficult for even a saint to hold.
It was at this moment that Catherine's voice rang out.
"Lord Baron, ride my Nightmare Warhorse."
Song Zheng hurriedly looked back, only to see that Catherine had summoned a nightmare war horse at some point, and she stood beside the black war horse with a pure face, which was particularly eye-catching.
"You can summon demons too? I thought you wouldn't be able to use the Warlock's abilities. Song Zheng looked at this war horse full of demonic aura in surprise.
Catherine had been with him for a long time, but she had never been seen to use any of the Warlock's abilities.
"I just didn't make a contract with other demons, and this horse doesn't need a contract to summon." Catherine's face flushed slightly at his sight.
"Catherine, it looks like you've grown up a lot, you know that you're coming to grab men with your sister, but your breasts are still so flat." Agatha laughed sarcastically behind her, making Catherine's face even redder.
"Catherine is still young, Agatha, don't teach her badly, in fact, I can summon this kind of mount too." Song Zheng smiled.
Although he already has this skill, he has never used it, and he doesn't know what kind of situation it will be like when he uses it.
"Lord Baron, you can summon mounts too?"
This time, not only Catherine, but even Agatha also showed surprise, and even Afra on the side was also a little moved.
"Yes, didn't I also go through a soul ritual last time, although I didn't sign a contract with the demon, but I also unexpectedly gained some abilities, one of which is to summon a war horse." Song Zheng smiled, but pushed everything to the unsuccessful ceremony last time.
"There is such a thing? Then Lord Baron, you summoned it and took a look. Agatha immediately said with interest.
"Okay." Song Zheng said and pretended to mutter something silently, but in fact, he directly used the skill of summoning the fear war horse.
As there was a wave of spatial fluctuations around him, the aura of evil energy and sulfur immediately diffused, and at the same time, there was a neighing sound of a war horse—a tall fear war horse had appeared in front of everyone.
"It's really a fear warhorse, and it is already covered with so much bone armor, which is much stronger than an ordinary nightmare warhorse, and its speed is also faster." Agatha immediately exclaimed.
Song Zheng was also pleasantly surprised in his heart, he didn't feel any impact on his strength, it seemed that summoning this fear war horse did not require his physical strength, and he also found that his fear war horse was indeed more handsome than the war horses of other warlocks.
"Oh...... This is supposed to be the Warlock's advanced mount, and the other Nightmare Warhorses are just beginner mounts. Song Zheng's heart moved, and he immediately understood.
His skill acquisition is completely random, and has nothing to do with his level, like this time, he directly obtained a high-level mount first.
Many of the warlocks around them showed envious glances, but many more eyes were still full of doubt.
"It's strange why the Baron, since he didn't become a warlock, has the ability to summon this feared horse?"
"I don't know about this, the reason for the failure of the last ritual can't even be explained by Lord Phyllis Fao, and I don't know anything about the field of warlocks, where do I know what the reason is." Song Zheng showed a wry smile, and at the same time shirked everything cleanly.
In fact, he was completely unable to explain it.
However, perhaps it was Phyllis Fao's name that suppressed the other warlocks, and no one continued to ask questions, and they quickly mounted their horses and set off for Stratholme.
Hundreds of Hell Horses left their mark on the wilderness, especially the flames flying from the horses' hooves in the darkness.
This also led to the constant pursuit of undead along the way, and even attracted the attention of gargoyles from time to time.
Luckily, there were no large undead troops in this wilderness, and those patrols of hundreds or thousands of undead could not withstand a round of magic bombardment from the warlocks.
Song Zheng had also gained a lot of experience along the way, which was enough for him to move up to the next level, and now he was hesitating whether to devote all his experience to the profession of warlock again.
"Is it better to upgrade the Rogue first, or to continue to invest in the Warlock class, or...... Level up the shaman class? Song Zheng hesitated in his heart, but the acquisition of that skill was too random, and he didn't know that that profession could bring him a greater advantage.
However, it is not easy to gain experience these days.
