Chapter 296: The Garden of Eden of the Gods (5)
This is the fifth day that Chen Kai and the others have left the Denzel Forest and entered the Lost Land, or the Garden of Eden of the Gods, and there is not much difference from the previous days is that they still haven't caught up with the great necromancer Lord Keno, but the good news is that they are much closer.
Although they still didn't see any traces of the escaped master, the ancient mages pointed to the location of the necromancer on the crystal that was a little closer to them. Of course, this proximity is only relative, because they still have at least 300 kilometers to walk.
The other good news was that the runaway master seemed to have stopped, and the necromancer's position hadn't moved dramatically, at least since the morning. This was definitely good news for everyone, as the Necromancer's stop moving meant they could close the distance relatively quickly. But it also meant bad news, as it meant that the necromancer was starting to settle down. If they couldn't catch him quickly, maybe by the time they met the necromancer, they already had a large number of undead thugs.
Of course, Chen Kai and the others didn't know that Lord Keno's most powerful undead summoning technique had been semi-forcibly abolished by the ancient mages, and the current Master Keno didn't dare to open the plane leading to the underworld to summon the undead. Because the result of that would be that he himself was directly captured and taken to the underworld, becoming food in the mouth of the watchdog of the underworld. The most important thing is that His Excellency Keno is very weak now, even weaker than Chen Kai and them. But on the other hand, Keno is very powerful, because his powerful ability is to concoct the undead virus, and quietly turn some creatures into undead.
It's just that such an undead lacks control, and an undead who is accidentally resurrected may in turn kill Keno himself. Therefore, in order to prevent accidents, Lord Keno must be careful and careful, and he will definitely not create garbage undead on a large scale without the ability to distinguish between friend and foe until he has enough self-protection strength. In fact, since he crawled out of the grave, the poor undead master Keno has only five men by his side. An undead brown bear, two undead leopards. and two undead human-faced birds are all he has. It can be said that the current strength of Master Keno is still very low, and he can't stop Chen Kai and them from attacking at all.
But that was about to change, as he found the corpse of an adventurer who had not been completely corrupted. In fact, it is impossible for this adventurer's body to be corrupted at all, because his strength is very strong. Anyone who can venture into this area is basically not weak, but because it has been buried underground for a long time, if it weren't for the smell of decay from the undead leopard, maybe Keno wouldn't have been able to find this corpse at all.
Looking at the corpse of an adventurer who had at least the level of the Holy Domain before his death, Keno's face showed an extremely excited expression. Of course, at present, he can only resurrect the other party into a relatively low-level undead puppet, and as for the high-end goods like the Death Knight, Keno is a little powerless because of the lack of materials. However, Keno still gave this undead a certain amount of room to rise, because the corpse of a Sanctuary-level powerhouse was not so easy to get his hands on, so he couldn't let this undead smash it into a low-level undead puppet in his hands for a lifetime.
"Wait! Just give me some time and I'll definitely build an army of Death Knights!! Raze those damned ancient mages. Damn it's a headache again! The soul is not fully recovered, and the high-level death revival is really troublesome! Looking at the slowly trembling body in the center of the magic array, Kino covered his head with a hint of hatred. Keno then looked at the slowly shaking body on the ground with a hint of anticipation, hoping that the undead he had paid a great price to revive would give him a sense of security.
"Where am I?" When a hoarse voice reached Kino's ears, his jaw was dislocated, because he never expected that his luck would be so good that he would resurrect the other person into an undead with a certain memory. But this is also not good news, having your own memories means that the soul of this undead has not completely dissipated, which means that if you are not careful, Lord Keno may be directly killed by his future death knight. So he subconsciously distanced himself from his new 'subordinates', and then took out his staff, which was still complete, and guarded.
"Am I? …… I feel like I'm dead! Slowly stroking his chest, where a simple stitched wound still expressed the cause of the adventurer's death. Judging from Kino's dissection of tens of thousands of corpses, his new 'subordinate' was definitely killed from behind by his own people. In fact, if it weren't for the drop in strength, he could even find the part of his memory of being killed from the other party's scattered souls, and then understand whether this unlucky guy was betrayed by his own friend or stabbed by his lover.
"Yes! Dead, damn shell... Seashell! Why can't I remember, who I am? How did I live? I... Am I an undead? "Looking at the new 'subordinate' in front of me, it seems that there is a gradual outbreak. Keno began to retreat further, for fear that the other party's angry venting would toss him in.
"Congratulations on returning to the world and having a chance to seek revenge on your enemy! Ahem! Who's that? Are you listening? Keno made a slow sound, trying to get the other man's attention, but before he could hide his body in the shadow of the undead brown bear.
"Who are you?" For Keno who suddenly made a sound. The undead who had returned to the human world roared angrily, and then suddenly realized that the owner of the voice in front of him seemed to be a bear, so he froze for a moment. Because he didn't even realize that the real voice owner was actually behind the bear. There is no doubt that the intelligence of the newly resurrected undead is a hard injury, and even the IQ before death is very urgent, otherwise it will not be stabbed in the back.
While the Great Necromancer and his new 'men' were communicating, Chen Kai and the others continued to move towards Keno's location. But now they had to stop, because they were stopped by a pack of wolves. This is not the first time that Chen Kai and the others have encountered species in the forest, but there is no doubt that this is the first time they have encountered large-scale social creatures, and the most important thing is that these social creatures belong to the same species as the winter wolves around them.
But the native wolves of these forests are not very friendly, as they are grinning at Chen Kai and them. Similarly, Chen Kai's winter wolves on their side also grinned at these indigenous wolves, but for now, the two sides were still relatively restrained, and there was no matter of directly spraying spells at each other or opening their mouths to bite. But Chen Kai, they are not easy now, in fact, everyone, including a few elves, is very nervous, and those winter wolves can even be said to be completely strong, because there is a leader of the indigenous wolves in front of them.
What ruined people was that the leader of this group of natives who had only the fifth order of strength was actually a Silver Moon Demon Wolf with almost legendary strength, and this feeling was like a middle-aged man in his forties mixed in with a group of kindergarten children. This strange feeling made Chen Kai difficult for them to accept, but fortunately, they were almost used to it. Of course, they had to get used to it. Because if the Silver Moon Demon Wolf in front of them was enough to kill everyone.
Chen Kai and the others didn't make any moves, because several elven mages were using the spell of natural communication to communicate with this demon wolf. No one wanted the same to be true of the dead elves, and although they knew that this kind of communication was a bit futile, they would do so with some hope. Fortunately, the goddess of nature did not abandon them completely, and the natural communication, which did not have a high success rate, finally brought them on the line with this demon wolf.
What made several elven mages feel broken was that the information transmitted by the powerful demon wolf in front of them made people feel very uncomfortable, or at that moment, under the breeze, this powerful and hideous demon wolf changed from a fierce monster to a nymphomaniac in an instant.
"This wolf brother's fur is so beautiful! Wow! That wolf brother has such sharp eyes! Wow, and that wolf brother's muscles are so strong!! Listening to the information transmitted by the spell in their ears, the faces of several nature mages were a little unnatural.
"Boss! What's going on with a couple of elven mages? Why does your face look like constipation! Fei Yun looked at the extremely strange faces of several elven mages and felt quite strange, because he couldn't hear the voice of the silver moon demon wolf in the elven mages' minds.
"I don't know! Probably scolded by the demon wolf during the exchange, right? The wisdom of the high-level Warcraft is very high, and it is said that some Warcraft can also speak and curse without swearing! Chen Kai didn't leave his giant sword in his hand, in fact, he had been in this pose for a long time. But the so-called loser does not lose the battle, even if he knows that he can't beat the momentum, he has to give enough. Of course, if Chen Kai knew what a few elven mages and the Silver Moon Demon Wolf were communicating with now, then he would definitely stumble and fall to the ground directly, because several elven mages were planning to pack and sell all the winter wolves to this demon wolf in exchange for the protection of the other party.
Don't think that elves don't do such things, although this is a game world where gods rule the land, all the natives, that is, NPCs, have intelligent creatures. Because they have wisdom, they are naturally afraid of death, let alone being killed by the Silver Moon Demon Wolf, so these elven mages did not hesitate to sell the Winter Wolf to this Demon Wolf in exchange for their own safety. Although this is a bit undisciplined, there is no way that people have to bow their heads under the eaves.
The Silver Moon Demon Wolf was very happy about the idea of a few elves, but she didn't know that the elves had no way to take the initiative to let these winter wolves stay. In the end, it was up to her to convince. But the demon wolf had no problem with this, because it seemed to her that it was a matter of minutes. Because just one look, all the winter wolves fell to the ground in an instant, and Chen Kai's only feeling was that they seemed to be about to be eaten.
Fortunately, everyone's mental will is extremely strong, even a few dwarves are not affected because of their strong nerves. But he was still frightened, his face was pale and sweating profusely. When the cold sweat on Chen Kai's body broke out again and again, all the winter wolves fell to the ground.
"We're going to leave all the winter wolves behind?" Everyone was extremely shocked, and in less than ten minutes, the nearly 100 winter wolves that had originally followed them all became the subordinates of the Silver Moon Demon Wolf.
"Yes!" Chen Kai looked at the few elven archers and the few wolf cubs beside Zhou Xuan who were silent for a while, there was no doubt that these wolves were all the species of the Silver Moon Demon Wolf, but the bloodline was not pure. Of course, that's for sure. If it was a pure demon wolf bloodline, it would not be exchanged for a winter wolf at all. However, for Chen Kai and them, the biggest role of these little wolf cubs is not their future combat effectiveness, but their talismans. Because a radius of 100 kilometers is the territory of this Silver Moon Demon Wolf, as long as they take these little wolf cubs Chen Kai, they will not be attacked by powerful monsters.
"It can't be said to be dropped. We just replaced those uncontrolled winter wolves with these obedient ones! Although Xu Fei's words were not to be heard, they were irrefutable facts, those winter wolves were really sold by Chen Kai and their feeders. Fortunately, the Winter Wolves are no longer controlled by the Ancient Mage, otherwise maybe the next moment those Winter Wolves will escape from the Silver Moon Demon Wolves and run back to Teramis.
"Don't mention it next time you return to Teramis!" Chen Kai slowly said to the people around him, several people didn't understand at first, but then they all nodded. Even the elves also chose to nod their heads after hearing this, because no matter what, those winter wolves were also the subordinates or servants of the ancient mages, and now Chen Kai and they were equivalent to abducting the servants of the ancient mages and then selling them to another wolf. If such an act were known to the ancient mages. It definitely won't end well, so after a few dwarves figured it out, they quickly nodded.
After having a few wolf cubs, Chen Kai's movement speed did not speed up much. Because these forest wolves with the blood of the Silver Moon Demon Wolf did not increase their movement speed BUFF, Chen Kai and the others still needed to use their legs to move slowly in the forest. However, after getting rid of those winter wolves, their burden was lighter, because they didn't need to take care of the winter wolves, they stopped to feed each other ice water, and at the same time, the venison in the backpack also became the reserve food for the two wyverns. Of course, before leaving, they still left some reindeer meat for those winter wolves as a parting gift, and in fact, for Chen Kai, these winter wolves were definitely reluctant.
In fact, when Chen Kai and the others left, a winter wolf was like a dog, and directly hugged Chen Kai's legs with his two front paws and wanted to leave. It's a pity that the people who still sold them all to the Silver Moon Demon Wolf didn't dare to kidnap each other's new faces or favorite concubines under the nose of this demon wolf, at least Chen Kai and the others later learned the truth.
When Chen Kai and the others moved through the forest, His Excellency Keno had completely recovered his new 'subordinates' who were a little anxious. But what is more tragic is that the relationship between this knowledgeable novice and his current relationship should be a collaborator. The powerful Archmage of Keno, whose strength had decreased, never thought that the undead in front of him was the Templar who had been chasing him for a while. The paladin who came to this temple of radiance has now become an undead and has lost a lot of memory. Because this paladin of the Temple of Radiance has been dead for at least a hundred years, and he can retain a certain amount of memory, it is already because his physical strength is very strong, and even after death, his soul has not completely dissipated. But after all, he was not transformed into an undead spirit just after death, and most of his power was lost in hundreds of years, and the only thing that remained was his physical abilities and a partially mutilated soul.
In fact, the few things that the Temple Paladin of Radiance, who had forgotten his name, remembered was probably his time of hunting down Master Keno, because that time was enough for anyone to remember for the rest of their lives. Even so much so that he even forgot the name of the enemy who killed him, but he didn't forget Archmage Jino. In fact, the paladin of this temple of radiance did not remember his enemy, at least he had an unforgettable face in his mind. It was a face that he remembered more than Master Keno's ugly face, but the problem was that he had forgotten the other person's name.
To the necromancer, such a question was funny, because he remembered even his unimportant enemy, and forgot the name of the person who killed him. However, he would never say such a thing, because the poor Necromantic Archmage could not defeat this former Radiant Temple Paladin who did not have much power so far. Even if the other party hasn't turned into a death knight yet. But that body that will not decay after hundreds of years is definitely a strong steel body.
In fact, even without the intervention of a necromancer, the corpse of this former Temple of Radiant Paladin would have turned into an undead corpse in a few hundred years. It's just that the consciousness that was born out of his body at that time was no longer him, but a new consciousness born in the years of time. Although he will inherit some of his memories and hatred, he will not be a former paladin in this temple of radiance.
Although the paladins of this temple of radiance themselves forgot their names. But fortunately, Lord Keno still remembers, after all, the Templar who has been able to chase him for a long time will definitely remember it in his heart, and then if there is a chance to take revenge. But I didn't expect creation to make people. Now the two of them have turned from enemies to brothers.
Now this undead warrior called Igesa needs to work hard to regain his strength, and then slowly find his lost memories. Of course, the most important thing is to find the slut who attacked him behind his back, the paladin who never swore in the past has now begun to gradually degenerate, but from the moment he died, he has fallen because of hatred because of unwillingness, but also because of the anger of betrayal (to be continued......
