Chapter 173: The Polluted Forest (9)
"Everyone, be careful! The zodiac releases the earth wall! Alyssa Chain Lightning!! The second and fifth lightning spells are ready for !! Chen Kai's voice was relayed in everyone's ears, and he himself was holding a giant sword to fend off the attack, several pitch-black feathered arrows on his armor were still trembling, and opposite him was a strange creature wielding a twisted scimitar.
This was the fifth day since Chen Kai and the others fell into the Denzel Forest, and in the previous few days, except for the first day, they were attacked by monsters, and the rest of the days were peaceful. They barely encountered a single enemy as they walked along the bloodthirsty woods, and perhaps the forest was just as forbidden to the monsters in the Denzel forest, so they could stay safely at the edge of the forest.
However, this ended when they bypassed the Bloodthirsty Tree Forest, and then they encountered the strange creatures recorded in Scheer's diary. The moment they appeared, Chen Kai's armor was damaged, and four or five feather arrows nailed to his armor directly caused several holes in his armor. Chen Kai was furious at the thought of the cost of repairing these holes, but in the end, his anger was stuffed back by the dozen or so feather arrows that burst into the air.
At the same time, pitch-black magic bullets fell around Chen Kai and them, and the tree poles that were blown up kept appearing with flying wood chips. If the cloak on Chen Kai's back hadn't been changed, the splash damage from these black magic bullets alone would have been enough to wipe out hundreds of his lives, and a head-on hit would have lost even more lives. When Chen Kai's voice fell, Alyssa's chain lightning had already exploded towards those strange enemies in the distance, and Xu Fei and Wang Xuewen had already prepared their spells.
After releasing the chain of lightning, Alyssa, a minotaur shaman, began to bless auxiliary spells for everyone, and at the same time, Chen Yi's aura also began to envelop everyone, and Faye Wong began to quickly apply divine protection to others. For Chen Kai and them, these strange enemies appeared very suddenly, and almost everyone was unprepared to emerge from the dark forest. Their ability to hide is much stronger than Fei Yun, a thief.
However, because they did not appear in the center of the group, although they gave Chen Kai a surprise attack, they were not able to cause great danger. Of course, it didn't take long for Chen Kai and the others to understand why these strange enemies didn't directly touch Chen Kai and they were erupting in the middle, because their shadow hiding ability would be useless as long as it was illuminated by the light. It can be said that the hidden ability of these strange creatures is definitely a very chicken thing, but the problem is that if they are all a group of thieves type monsters, it will be fine, but they are not. Not only do they have the caster class, but they also have warrior-type monsters, as well as archer-type monsters. It can be said that if it weren't for this hidden ability to fear light, then they would definitely be the most terrifying group of assassins.
Although Alyssa's chain of lightning was released in a hurry, the shining electric light instantly illuminated the bodies of those attackers. It's just that the chain lightning that whistled out didn't hit many monsters, although the Minotaur Maiden's shamanic spell has the characteristics of fast casting speed and fast attack speed. But it also has the disadvantage that it is too powerful. However, this disadvantage is also due to the low level of the Minotaur Girl, after all, the growth rate of the natives is very slow, although Alyssa has worked hard enough, but her current level is only a little higher than Evelyn among everyone.
After Alyssa unleashed the chain lightning, she didn't look at the effect of her attack, but quickly began to place the shaman totem to release the restoring fรน sex support spell. It's just that the elven nature spells are restricted. Among the shamanic spells released by Alyssa, as long as the restoration spell involving the power of nature is basically reduced, the effect will be greatly reduced. However, these shamanic spells always had some effect when applied to the people, and when Alyssa cast them, she began to chant another spell. Cooperate with Evelyn to form thunderclouds in the air.
Of course, the thunderclouds created by the two of them together were not as large as Bartley's alone. However, with the help of the two, Bartley was able to unleash thunderclouds and lightning with the least amount of magic. After all, because she used too much power not long ago, the source of her magic power was unstable again, and she almost lost her spellcasting ability forever because of this. So this time, instead of using a powerful spell, she used the thunderclouds created by Alyssa and Evelyn plus her own magic to release the thundercloud lightning.
When the first lightning fell, Chen Kai was using his giant sword to resist the attack of a monster, and when the light of the lightning fell shone through, Chen Kai suddenly found that the enemy in front of him was a little strange. However, he still didn't fully understand what was strange about the other party. The lightning light vanished, and he himself needed to concentrate on fending off the opponent's weapon. The moment a pitch-black scimitar collided with Chen Kai's giant sword, with the help of the light emanating from his body, Chen Kai once again saw the appearance of the other party. This time he finally understood why he was feeling strange. Because the enemy in front of him actually has the ears of an elf. It's just that its facial lines are not as soft as those of the elves, but they are hideous and terrifying, making people feel frightened to look at. The most important thing is that the muscles of the enemy in front of him are very terrifying, or should I say deformed, and the extremely strong body is definitely not something that the elven warriors can have. The most important thing is that the strength of the enemy in front of him is very terrifying, and the moment the weapon collides, Chen Kai almost has no way to hold the giant sword.
If it weren't for Chen Kai's giant sword being sharp enough, he directly cut off the opponent's weapon and then cut the opponent in two, it is estimated that Chen Kai would suffer a big loss this time. When this enemy was killed, blood spilled from its body, and the dark blood contained a great deal of filthy power. These powers were hidden in the blood and splashed on Chen Kai's armor, if it weren't for the raging burning fighting qi on his armor, it is estimated that the armor would be contaminated by this blood.
"! Beware of the blood of these guys!! Chen Kai felt a headache when he looked at the blood that had been burned to ashes by his own Dou Qi, because other people were not like him with Dou Qi with divine attributes, and it would be very troublesome if he was splashed with these blood.
"What?" Fei Yun was swinging the sharp claws in his hand and stabbing into the chest of an enemy at the moment, and the sharp claws directly pierced the opponent, but the next moment he was about to cry. Because he found that the sharpness of his weapon had dropped by 0.01, and this was the result of him using his fighting energy to shake off the blood attached to it in time, although on the whole, losing that sharpness would not make his weapon much less powerful. But it was just an attack. He couldn't protect his weapons with vindictive energy all the time, that would add a lot of unnecessary consumption.
"Damn! How can you fight like this!! "Fei Yun's case is not unique, others have also noticed that their weapons are damaged, and the armor has also seen a decrease in defense after being splashed with blood, of course, this reduction is so small that it is almost imperceptible. But if it continues, Chen Kai and the others will face the tragedy of complete damage to their armor.
"How else can you fight? Keep going! But be careful to protect yourself!! Fei Fei, you bless some more divine protection, I hope this protective magic can be of some use! Chen Kai shouted at Faye Wong, and then swung his weapon again and pounced on a monster that was struck by lightning and broke dancing.
The sharp giant sword swept directly across the waist at the moment when the opponent's body recovered, and the blood that splashed out was directly shaken open by Chen Kai before it could completely contaminate the blade of the giant sword, and at the same time, Chen Kai's original forward action directly stopped and turned towards the back and rushed to the next opponent. If it is according to Chen Kai's original way of fighting. He would definitely tear through the blood mist that the opponent spewed out and rush towards the enemy, but he didn't want his armor to be tainted and damaged, so he had to use this method to avoid getting too much dirty blood.
At this time, Chen Yi stopped the aura blessing and began to turn to cover the battlefield with divine purification. With the support of her magical power, the blood that splattered out was purified almost the moment it was contaminated with the weapons and armor, and Chen Yi's magical aura could not protect those weapons only when it pierced into the enemy's body. This is not troublesome for Chen Kai and them. Because he only needs to change the way he attacks, only two people are a little depressed. One is Fei Yun, who now needs to use more of his less skilled claws to sweep. And Su Wan chose to retreat. Because the most powerful part of this weapon is the stab. Although this dragon lance has a sharp blade, but the environment is limited, Su Wan has no way to maximize the power of the dragon lance's sweeping. So she chose to step back and protect Chen Yi instead of rushing to the front to fight.
When the last strange creature disappeared into the darkness of the trees, Chen Kai and the others left behind at least two dozen enemy corpses. However, they were not able to take advantage of much, on the contrary, if these guys hadn't retreated quickly, maybe they would have suffered more.
"Contaminated!" Looking at the names of the monsters in the system's battle log, Chen Kai lowered his head and examined the corpses of these enemies with torches. A very simple metal weapon, albeit with an extremely sharp edge. But the texture is very fragile. If it weren't for this, Chen Kai wouldn't be able to directly cut off the opponent's weapon, so it can be said that Chen Kai and they were able to defeat the other party completely because they took advantage of the weapon.
"Luckily, these guys are humanoids, and they're a bit fragile!" Fei Yun looked at the filthy blood flowing from the corpse, and the burning holy flame at the tip of Chen Kai's fingers began to burn rapidly as soon as it touched the blood. But the strange thing is that the corpses of these enemies do not burn. In other words, the only thing that contains the filthy power in their bodies is blood, and the filthy power in their bodies is also there, but very little.
"This guy's appearance has changed?" When Chen Kai burned all the filthy power with the Holy Flame, he was suddenly shocked to find that the image of the corpse on the ground had changed, this was a very strong warrior, the deformed muscles were more developed than Chen Kai's thigh muscles. However, after Chen Kai used the Holy Flame to purify the filthy power in its body, his body gradually changed, and the deformed muscles slowly disappeared, turning into an elf-like body full of soft lines.
When all the changes were completed, what appeared in front of Chen Kai and them was no longer a hideous and terrifying monster, but a corpse of an elf that had been cut in two. Although it is too early to say that it is elf, because many changes have not been completely completed, such as the dry image of the fingers still covered with withered nails, and the feet look a little black and deformed, but on the whole, this pale skin corpse is the corpse of an elf.
For Chen Kai, this news is not good, because there are several elf casters in their team, and elves are very united and protective creatures. But to Chen Kai's surprise, Nero Elu did not feel angry because the dead monster had turned into an elf, her face was very calm and calm, as if the corpse in front of her was not an elf but a strange creature.
"These guys aren't elves!" Nero Eru said this, directly denying the argument that the changed corpse belonged to the elves, and she even crouched down to check the appearance of the corpse, and then turned around and left. This situation made Chen Kai and them a little confused, but they still decided to bury all the monsters or monsters suspected of being elves. Of course, it is absolutely very quick to hand over these morales to the zodiac. However, turning an Earth Elemental Spellcaster into a Buried Corpse Specialist is something that only players can do. If it were the aborigines who told him to do it, he would use ground thorns to make him open his ass.
When all the bodies were buried, Chen Kai and the others embarked on a journey through the Denzel Forest again, but everyone's hearts were not very calm. Of course, except for Evelyn, an elven girl who didn't know the situation, all the elven mages, including Ilian, knew that the changed corpse was actually an elf, but no elf was willing to admit that it involved a black history of elves.
This period of black history is basically only known to the high-level of the elf clan, and the so-called high-level must be strong enough or high enough in status. So Ilian shouldn't actually know about it, but the problem is that he is a member of the Elven Empire's membership in the Adventurer's Guild, and there are many records in the Adventurer's Guild that are related to the Elven Empire. And there's a record of those who have been contaminated. That's why Ilian will know that these polluted people are actually a group of elves who have been eroded and mutated by demonic power, but the elves will never recognize the identity of these tainted elves, so almost all records about the tainted are blocked by the elven empire. The most important thing is that almost all the polluted people are concentrated in the Denzel forest, and over time their numbers will decrease until they disappear completely.
The Elven Empire hopes that the stain on these elves will disappear into the long river of history, but unfortunately it seems that they are still alive. However, Nero Eru was not very angry about the tainted one. On the contrary, after reading some history of the tainted, she is sympathetic to the stains of these elves, because they did not become the ghosts of their own accord. When Terramis fell. Although the Demon Juggernaut was killed. However, the demonic power that surged out of its body caused the entire survivors of Terramis to be eroded, and eventually turned into polluted.
At first, these tainted people still had their sanity, and they staggered away from Terramis to migrate towards the Elven Empire, but as the demonic power gradually eroded the sanity of these tainted people, they gradually disappeared and began to attack others wantonly. Therefore, the Elven Empire ordered them to be expelled to the Denzel Forest, and at the same time, using the power of sacrifice, asked the goddess of nature to set up an enchantment to prevent these tainted people from leaving the forest so as not to harm others. This is actually the origin of the Denzel Forest Curse, except that the power of the barrier is later eroded by the power that emanates after the death of the Demon Master. What was originally an enchantment began to turn into a curse. Although under the power of time, both the power of the enchantment and the power of the curse are fading, otherwise Chen Kai and the others would have been eroded by the power by now, but the problem is that the polluted ones who should have disappeared in the long river of time have not disappeared.
The news may not be good news for Nero Alu, as once the contaminated people leave the forest. Then the stain on the energy empire covering up the millennium will be revealed. It's a pity that she doesn't have the power to destroy the tainted now, and she doesn't want to attack the tainted with the blood of the elves.
It's just that Nero Aru doesn't want to do anything to her former compatriots, but these polluted people don't necessarily let her go. When Chen Kai and the others left, some fluctuations soon appeared in the pitch-black forest, and one by one the black figures slowly walked to the place covered by the earth elemental spell, and then dug up the soil with their hands to dig out the corpses below. Of course, these black shadows are the polluted, hundreds of polluted people, and the bodies that were dug up were not taken away but quickly eaten by them. The sound of chewing echoed in the dark forest, and when the sound disappeared, the pit where dozens of corpses had been buried was filled with bones again. All the bones were smashed because they didn't spare a drop of bone marrow.
When the shadows vanished, there was nothing left of the forest except a pit full of bones, and even the bones in the pit would quickly disappear, because the forest would absorb all the nutrients that could be used.
Chen Kai and the others, who were moving through the forest, were trying to recover their own consumed bodies, because they didn't know when the next battle would start. After all, those who were polluted were retreating, not all exterminated, and God knows if they would find a whole bunch of helpers. (To be continued......)
