Chapter 10: The Remains in the Forest

If someone asked him which was the most majestic mountain range in the Valoran Continent, then anyone would tell him without thinking that it was the Iron Thorn Mountains. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Those who have not seen the sea cannot imagine the vastness of the sea, and those who have not climbed the Iron Spike Mountain Range naturally cannot imagine the majesty of this mountain range. The Alsto Mountains are only a small part of the Iron Thorn Mountains, but it is this small part that completely separates the two great powers of Noxus and Zaun, and if it were not for the research and development of technology and magic in recent years, Zuan has made a large number of new technologies appear, so that the two kingdoms can communicate normally.

But at this moment, the soldiers of the second detachment did not have the leisure to enjoy the majestic and magnificent scene in front of them, in fact, many people were cursing this damn mountain in their hearts, the hardships of trekking in the lofty mountains are difficult for ordinary people to experience, there are only rugged mountain roads here, there are no roads in many places, and there are always pay attention to the infestation of snakes and insects.

Darius held the axe in his hand, blood dripping from the heavy blade of the blade, the blood of the son of Ulo in front of him, and with just one swing of the axe, the son of Ulo was beheaded, the third beast he had killed along the way.

Ulo is a giant snake that sleeps in the underground of the Alstow Mountains in mountain legends, it is huge, its head and body cross countless mountains, and every time it turns over in its sleep, it can bring a terrifying earthquake.

The son of Ulo is a common python in the Alsto Mountains, this giant python can grow to about ten or even fifteen meters, and the "hidden oil" that Dermons gave him is boiled out of the snake oil of this snake, so the "hidden oil" can drive away ordinary snakes and insects, but it can't hide from the peep of the son of Ulo.

But the son of Ulo had clearly found the wrong target, despite its size, it was just an ordinary beast with no magical powers, and the experience provided to Darius after death was only two points, Darius picked up a handful of leaves, wiped the blood from the blade of the axe, and then continued with the party.

"Down there is the Donas River, let's go down from here, go upstream along the river, the temporary camp of the fourth detachment is at a river beach in front, and the Rhodes corridor is on the other side of the river, so the location of the temporary camp is relatively safe, if the lizardmen want to attack, we can find it before they cross the river."

De Mons looked at the winding river in the distance and said to Darius.

The mighty river rushes through the mountains, and the lush vegetation on both sides of the river stains the river green, like a giant serpent coiled between the mountains, showing its heroic appearance to the world, and Darius thought that perhaps the legend of the mountain people about Ulo evolved from this great river.

He walked at the front of the line and said to everyone, "Watch out, let's go down." ā€

De Muns followed closely behind him, he was indeed a very competent deputy, and he was also an experienced mountain dweller: "The Donas River is the mother river of the mountain people, but the mother is not only a child of our mountain people, she selflessly raised everything in the mountains. Lizardmen, two-headed snake lizards, wolves, and dirt elemental groups will all roam the river, so don't get too close to the river, there are plenty of monsters in the water. ā€

Slowly coming from the mountainside to the bottom of the mountain, Darius was not too close across the river at the reminder of De Mons.

"Hey, it's a pity that the legion has too few earth-walking dragoons, otherwise how could it be our swordsman battalion's turn to do the reconnaissance mission."

It was West who spoke, Darius was still more impressed by him, this was a relatively young soldier, the earth dragon in his mouth was the combat mount of the garrison cavalry team, because this is a mountainous area, the war horses can rarely adapt to the environment here, so the garrison army war horses are not many, but will domesticate the ground dragon for the cavalry to ride.

Although the name has the word dragon in it, it is clear that the earthwalker is not a terrifying creature like a dragon, the earthwalker is just an extremely thin-blooded wurm species, this wurm uses two extremely thick legs to shuttle between the mountains and forests, so only specially trained warriors can ride, and the earthwalker is not tall, so the legion will choose a short warrior to become the groundwalker dragoon.

De Mons scolded: "It's just a reconnaissance mission, and it's not for you to attack the lizardman camp, why so much nonsense?" ā€

West scratched his head and smirked, De Mmons was so prestigious that he didn't dare to fight back.

"Wait!"

Darius's heart moved, as if it was an intuition, he instinctively sensed danger, this instinct of crisis prediction was honed by him since he was a child in countless battles, he shouted: "Take out your weapons and prepare for battle!" ā€

Although the soldiers didn't know what was happening, since the captain gave the order, their excellent combat qualities still made them quickly ready for battle.

"Do you smell it? Demons?"

De Mons glanced at Darius suspiciously, then closed his eyes and took a deep breath, "Is it ......?" The smell of blood? ā€

Darius nodded, since the awakening of the [Blood Fury] talent, he has been extremely sensitive to blood. He pointed to the forest in front of him, "Over there, it's not the blood of wild beasts, it's the smell of human blood." ā€

The group, led by Darius, formed a diamond-shaped formation and slowly walked in the direction that Darius pointed.

As Darius had expected, dark red blood began to appear scattered on the ground, extending into the forest, and the air was filled with an increasingly strong fishy stench.

"This is!?"

When the group stepped over a few cedars that blocked their view, the scene in front of them still surprised Darius.

More than a dozen human corpses, men and women, young men and women, dressed in all sorts of armor, from warriors to archers and thieves, lay in the woods, like an adventurous team.

Darius walked over to one of the corpses and crouched down to check on him, on his left breastplate, there was a steel knife and gear overlapped, and the background was the emblem of intertwined pipes, Darius checked several more, and sure enough, they all found the exact same emblem.

"Looking at the style of this emblem, it should be Zuan's adventurous team."

De Mons nodded solemnly, "I have dealt with the guys from Zu'an, and they are indeed people from that country, and the deaths of these people are very strange, not like they were attacked by wild beasts or alien races. ā€

"Not only the warriors, but even the thieves who are the best at escaping and hiding are dead, and they have no obvious external injuries on their bodies, as if they were taken away from their lives in an instant, you look at their expressions, their eyes are wide open, as if they have seen something very terrifying."

Darius walked up to a tall corpse, he fell straight to the ground, his skin was a strange grayish white, he looked extremely weird, he pointed to this corpse and said to De Mons: "Look at the insignia on his neck, this is a berserker, a warrior who has awakened his bloodline, and he actually died without resistance." ā€

Demons shuddered, "What the hell did they encounter?" ā€

"I don't know, I'm not a scholar, I'm not a mage, this is beyond my cognition, in short, be careful!"
