Chapter 954: Uninvited Guest
"This is a path that was accidentally discovered when the last two members of the exploration team evacuated, but no one expected that there would be so many undead creatures here. When the two team members evacuated, they didn't notice the undead creatures here! Hoffman obviously couldn't understand why those undead creatures had to come to trouble him and others.
As he spoke, the roar of magic came from the camp that had just calmed down. Several people in the tent looked at each other helplessly, and sure enough, someone soon came to report that another group of undead creatures had attacked the camp. Once can be said to be accidental, twice can be said to be a coincidence, and three or four times can mean that things are not simple.
"Lord Grow, our camp is surrounded by undead creatures, and the number of undead creatures is unknown," Soon after the third wave of undead creatures were eliminated, someone entered the tent again to report to everyone, and this news suddenly made everyone a little unable to sit still.
Lin Li and the others came to the outside of the tent and looked around the camp, only to see that the surging army of the undead outside the camp was rushing towards the camp like a tide. In front of him are still skeleton warriors wearing ice armor, and behind them, hell bones and bone mages are constantly casting low-level undead magic such as hellfire bombs, although the power of a single is not strong, but it is also overwhelming and terrifying.
Lin Li cast a wizard's eye into the air, and carefully observed the undead army through the wizard's eye, the number of this wave of undead army is more than the previous three waves combined, and it is estimated that there are at least nearly 100,000 people. It's not like Lin Li has never seen such a huge army of the undead, and there are many more undead armies seen in the Valley of Shadows, the Spiral of the Seven Realms, and the Sky City, but the sudden appearance of so many undead creatures here still makes people feel a little uneasy.
However, not everyone was worried in such a situation, and Uyfarussi and Nofil were extremely excited. Howfarusi harnessed the bone dragon and flew directly above the army of the undead, constantly sprinkling powerful magic downward. One by one, the undead creatures fell in magic, and countless balls of light flew out of the remains of the undead creatures, shooting straight at Uyfarussi and the bone dragon.
And Nophil, wielding a pair of daggers, had already entered the army of the undead, and those undead creatures covered in ice fell to the ground in rows with the light of the daggers like harvested crops. And while Nophile rushed back and forth, there were always countless light clusters chasing behind him, like a tail of light brought out by a meteor. Every time Nofil's body paused slightly, the ball of light chasing in front of him suddenly crashed into his body and sank into his body.
Ufalusi and Nophil are both undead creatures, and although they have other ways to increase their strength, the real most direct and fastest is undoubtedly the devouring soul fire. A large amount of soul fire that devours other undead creatures and strengthens their own soul fire, just like human beings improve their potential, maybe it can't significantly improve their strength at that time, but it is equivalent to allowing themselves to have a bigger barrel to hold more water. Therefore, for them, the soul fire is tantamount to the best tonic in this world, and it is difficult for anything else to replace.
Although the number of the undead army is quite large, both Uy Farusi and Nophile are truly legendary powerhouses, and the members of the exploration team also have at least fifteen level strength, so this wave of undead army still did not have much impact on the exploration team, and it was quickly wiped out.
After destroying this wave of undead army, Uy Farusi and Nophil returned to Lin Li, and the two undead servants had excitement in their eyes. Obviously, the soul fire harvested just now has benefited them a lot, and they only need to fill the larger bucket with water, and their strength will immediately have a big leap.
However, such a victory did not make the high-level leaders of the Tower of Dusk and the Shining Gold High Council happy, but they all frowned tightly, and did not hide the worry in their hearts. These undead creatures came so inexplicably, as if they had decided that this exploration party was their undying enemy.
"What are these undead creatures trying to do, and does the location of our camp have any effect on them?" Hoffman called his men and asked about the surroundings of the camp, but found nothing out of the ordinary.
"Could it be that our presence disturbed them?" Lin Li said this speculation, and immediately shook his head and denied it, just to disturb, not to let the undead creatures ignore the threat of sunlight and attack the exploration team in broad daylight.
The abnormal behavior of the undead creatures made everyone feel very puzzled, and the various speculations made could not really be explained. Of the two teams, Thomas and Basel were the most knowledgeable, but these two masters never felt that they could get to the point.
"Whatever the reason, I don't think we're going to be able to rest here. It's still daytime, and there are already undead creatures attacking the camp, if it's night, I'm afraid it's ......" After some discussion, Hoffman said to Lin Li helplessly.
"In that case, I think it's better to enter the Grand Canyon in advance while the sky is still bright, so as not to have unnecessary losses here." Lin Li suggested. Although these waves of undead creatures did not cause any damage to the exploration team, everyone knows that the night is the time when the undead creatures are active. Now that such a large army of the undead has appeared here, if it were really night, I am afraid that this place would really become a world of the undead. Even if there are so many legendary powerhouses in the team, no one dares to guarantee that there will be no accidents in the battle with the undead at that time.
"Indeed, that's what I thought about too," Hoffman nodded at Lin Li's suggestion, and after agreeing with the others, he ordered his men to pack up the camp and immediately begin preparations for entering the Grand Canyon.
With Hoffman and Lin Li's orders, the camps of the two families immediately became lively again, and the camp on the side of the Tower of Dusk had not yet been set up, so it saved a lot of trouble at this time. On the side of the Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce, there were already more people, so it didn't take much time to clean up. Soon, the teams of both families were ready to set off again, and under the leadership of Hoffman and Lin Li, they headed for the Grand Canyon of Gargas.
There is a huge gap in the cliff on one side of the Grand Canyon, and the deep entrance from this gap is just a dangerous road that cannot be called a road, and it continues to extend diagonally towards the bottom of the Grand Canyon. This is what Hoffman said was the easiest place to get into the Grand Canyon, and it was the path that the original exploration team found when only two members of the expedition team evacuated.
In fact, the Grand Canyon of Gargas is known as bottomless, but that is only for ordinary people, and for the great magicians who have mastered the art of floating, it is not very difficult to go directly to the bottom of the canyon. However, considering that they had been attacked by undead creatures several times before, to be on the safe side, even the legendary mages were walking slowly down the ramp towards the bottom of the canyon with the team at this time.
The mountain road is difficult and dangerous, and if you are not careful, you may fall and fall down, and end up with no bones left. However, this exploration team is all composed of strong people above the fifteenth level, not to mention those great magicians who can float, even those fifteenth-level warriors are also agile, and any small protrusion is enough for them to stand on the top steadily. Therefore, along the way, the whole team can be said to be in danger, and there are no casualties.
The exploration team descended to the bottom of the Grand Canyon, the sky above them had become a line, and the surrounding light had almost completely disappeared, and the magicians cast lighting spells one after another, and white magic light balls floated around the team, emitting a soft light to dispel the darkness around the team.
After a short rest, at Hoffmann's suggestion, the expedition team did not stop here for long, but continued to advance deeper into the canyon. Although the team had just come down from a cliff more than a kilometer high, no one had any objections to Hoffman's proposal, if it was an ordinary person, he might have been exhausted and paralyzed by now, but these strong people above the fifteenth level were not affected much.
"Alert!"
Shortly after the party entered the depths of the Grand Canyon, Hoffman suddenly gave the party a vigilance order after hearing the report of the legendary Assassin Gia, who was in charge of the pathfinder. And the team of the Tower of Dusk, under Lin Li's signal, also turned into a state of alert almost at the same time.
"Master Hoffman, have you found anything?" Lin Li came to the team of the Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce and asked Hoffman. When I was outside, I encountered a large number of undead creatures besieging me, and now I am in the Grand Canyon, although I have not encountered any obstacles at present, but no one believes that I can really get all the way to my destination.
At this time, Hoffman's face looked extremely ugly, and he said in a deep voice: "The human exploration team that has been discovered in front of us is likely to have the same purpose as ours. ”
Hearing this news, Lin Li couldn't help frowning and said, "Could it be that our exploration plan leaked the news this time?" Hoffman said that it was possible, but in fact everyone knew that it would certainly not be for the merchants who could appear in the Gargas Gorge at this time.
"Let's go, let's go ahead and see where the hell is sacred," Hoffman said to Lin Li, and then ordered the team: "Stay on guard and keep going." ”
Lin Li did not go back to the team of the Tower of Twilight, but followed Hoffman and continued to move forward with the team. Lin Li was also very puzzled about the exploration team that suddenly appeared, and Hoffman once swore that only the Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce knew about this clue. And after reaching a cooperation intention with Hoffman, he returned to the Tower of Twilight and did not mention it to anyone, so it is obviously impossible for the Tower of Twilight to leak the news.
