"It should ...... I guess it'......."
Roland responded to Randall with a sluggish look, as if absent-minded.
Because just as Millard's head was blown off, a cloud of black light suddenly poured out of the corpse, cut an arc in the air, and burrowed into Roland's body.
"Roland gets 100 XP!"
The moment the black light poured into Roland's body, a faint font immediately flashed in front of his eyes, just like the experience gained in the game.
In an instant, Roland's heart immediately tensed, after all, such a scene of gaining experience was too weird, and it was very likely to attract the attention of the paladin over there.
But his worries were unnecessary, because according to the look on Randall's face, it could be seen that no one else could see this black light except Roland himself.
"That's great, rookie, you're going to be Derney's hero, maybe you'll be promoted!"
Randall Knight looked at Millard's headless corpse and said excitedly to Roland.
At this moment, the paladin in the silver knight's armor finally came to Roland's side, and reached out to pull out the knight's sword nailed to Millard's body.
"Well done, you're courageous, what's your name?"
Two surprised glances were revealed in the paladin's tight helmet, staring straight at Roland, as if he was very surprised by Roland's use of the healing light to kill Millard just now.
"My name is ...... Rowland! ”
Roland's face changed, and he hurriedly lowered his head, put on a humble appearance, and said.
Although the paladin's words were very plain, Roland felt as if a pressure was weighing heavily on him, if it weren't for Davion's priest's robes to share some of the pressure for him, it is estimated that he would have already knelt on the ground with weak legs.
"Well, Roland, that's a good name, it's time for us to get out of here, come with me, I hope you don't get lost again, little one!"
Seeing this, the paladin nodded secretly, put away the knight's sword in his hand, and turned around and walked towards the outside of the cemetery.
"Yes, Paladin!"
"Yes, my lord......"
Roland immediately breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that his head-grabbing did not attract his attention.
At this time, Roland and Randall Knight followed the pace of the paladin, constantly circling the forest, and it was not long before they returned to the camp of adventurers who had been recruited.
I saw that those adventurers were all standing in the clearing, waiting for the paladin's return, and some adventurers even gambled to pass the time, not worrying that the paladin would fail at all.
"Everyone, listen, Millard has been killed, get out of this forest now."
"It's great to finally be able to get out of this hellish place."
"Do you think the reward will be ten silver coins this time? I wish I could do this more often. ”
Seeing this, the paladin couldn't help but shake his head, feeling a headache for these undisciplined adventurers.
And the news that this rookie priest Roland personally killed the necromancer Millard spread through Guò Randall's mouth, and if it was not transmitted once, it would go through different distortions, and Roland's identity was even "demonized".
In the end, even Roland didn't believe that it was him, and sure enough, the power of rumors was really not small.
Once it was confirmed that all the members were in place, the team that was slaying the necromancer Millard immediately returned to Denel, and soon they would be back in the human city.
Not surprisingly, Roland, who killed Millard with his own hands, will be rewarded by the Temple.
At this time, everyone followed the steps of the paladin, who was the pillar of all of them and the light in the darkness.
Roland, on the other hand, followed the team through the grim and rancid Forest of Shadows, his eyes wary of the monsters that could emerge from the shadows at any moment.
"Randall, where are we going? After walking for so long, we should have reached the edge of the forest. ”
Suddenly, Roland immediately noticed something unusual, but since there was no virtual map, he was not sure about this guess.
Because if they had followed the normal walking speed in the game, Roland and the others would have left this Forest of Shadows in about half a day and returned to the human city of Denel.
But now they seem to have encountered some accidents, and they haven't seen the edge of the forest for most of the day, which is simply too weird.
"Of course, leaving the Forest of Shadows, maybe it's just a detour!"
Randall Knight said without a smile, for him, this was not unusual, it was just a long way, after all, such a forest was shrouded in shadows all the time, and it was common to take the wrong path.
It's not just Randall who thinks so, most of the adventurers think so, and it doesn't seem like a big deal for them, as long as they can reach Denel tomorrow.
"That's right...... Rookie, your share will only be given to you until Denel, and you can't let the other guys know, otherwise we will all die out of this forest. ”
Suddenly, Randall Knight lowered his voice and said to Roland, apparently he didn't want the news of the large amount of gold on his body to get out.
"yes, got it!"
But Roland didn't pay much attention to this, such a little gold was nothing in his eyes, and a small part as start-up capital was enough.
At this time, the sky began to slowly darken, and night began to fall.
"All of them stopped, camped in place, and waited until tomorrow to leave the forest."
Immediately, the paladin issued an order, knowing that it was not suitable to continue walking at night in the Forest of Shadows, and the best option was to wait until the sun rose before setting off.
The so-called camping in situ is just not to leave too far and find a comfortable place to rest, these adventurers do not have any tools to build a camp on them, at most they only bring some survival tools and dry food.
Some of the adventurers laughed and held themselves together, lit a fire, took out the small wine bottles at their waists, and told each other what they had seen.
And he sat under a tree with Randall, and no one dared to fall into a deep sleep, and to fall asleep in this forest of shadows was simply looking for death.
For some reason, Roland always had a feeling of unease in his heart, as if the entire Forest of Shadows was shrouded in fear, and something dangerous was about to happen.
As time passed, the sensation grew heavier and heavier, like a heavy stone weighing down on his heart, almost making it impossible for him to breathe.
"No, I'm going to tell the paladin about it......"
Roland whispered, it was too weird, and he decided to tell the most powerful paladin in the team.
He stood up and looked at the corner where the paladin was, only to see that the fire in that corner had gone out for some time, and it was quiet, could it be that he left?
At the moment when Roland was puzzled, a glimmer of light caught his attention, and he saw that the paladins in the team were standing in the jungle under the shadows at this time, with their backs to Roland's gaze.
But the next scene completely made Roland seem to fall into an endless abyss.
"Dead ......"
I saw that area under the shadow, there was nothing one second, and the next second...... Suddenly, out of thin air, a monster more than two meters long, mixed with black gas, its head was born with two horns, and its hideous body was like a demon hiding in the shadows.
The appearance of the black monster did not attract anyone's attention, and it suddenly reached out and slashed at the paladin's head.
Suddenly, there was a flash of black light, and with a poof, the head belonging to the paladin flew high, spun in the air a few times, and fell to the ground with a pop, his eyes full of shock and sluggishness.
And the severed part of the headless corpse of the paladin continued to burst out with blood, forming a bewitching blood mist in the dark night, which formed a stark contrast to the laughter and laughter of the adventurers around him.
Oh my God, what kind of monster is that, it has silently killed paladins above level 20.
Since the paladin was killed by that mysterious monster in an instant, he had no chance of winning as a priest with only level 5, and the only way to do so was to escape.
"Hey, Mr. Randall, shhh, don't make a sound, we're going to get out of this place."
Suddenly, Roland reached out and pushed Knight Randall's shoulder, and said softly, trying not to attract anyone's attention.
"It's ......"
Randall Knight glanced at Roland suspiciously, then looked in the direction he was pointing, and at once he saw the huge monster.
But when he saw the corpse of the paladin on the ground, he almost screamed, and repeated it several times before he really confirmed that it was the corpse of the paladin.
For Randall, such a scene was too terrifying, the mighty paladin was actually killed by that monster!
However, at this moment, the monster quietly came to the side of those adventurers, and quickly cut off their heads, and a series of movements did not cause a sound, but the other adventurers were still immersed in laughter, and did not realize that the danger had landed on them.
"Go, go now, come with me, I know there's a shortcut out of this forest."
When Knight Randall realized the severity of the matter, he immediately stood up and walked towards the jungle behind him.
Immediately, Roland did not hesitate, followed behind Randall, and quietly left this adventurer's camp, only by leaving here could he get a glimmer of life.
Not long after they left the adventurer's camp, the monster's whereabouts seemed to be exposed, and the screams of the seeping people kept coming from that direction, but the screams only lasted for a few seconds, and quickly dissipated in this forest of shadows.
Suddenly, Roland hurriedly accelerated his speed and ran forward, burrowing into the dense jungle, even if the thorns cut blood marks on his face, he didn't stop, what a joke, he would die if he was caught up by that hideous monster.
"Whirring ......"
Roland gasped for breath, this body was really not very good, he would feel tired after running a few steps, worse than the body in his previous life.
However, a doubt also emerged in his heart, this Forest of Shadows is logically a low-level dungeon, and even the biggest boss is only level 10, how can such a powerful monster appear, could his appearance trigger the so-called butterfly effect.
But that kind of monster really appeared, killing the paladin in an instant in front of Roland's eyes, what kind of monster is it?
Roland's mind kept thinking, but after a while he didn't find a monster with a similar symbol.
Suddenly, a taskbar-like prompt appeared in front of Roland's eyes, just like in the game, it was a panel with a classical atmosphere.
Mission: Survive the horror of the monster and escape the forest! (Difficulty: Hard)
Hint: Maybe you can kill that monster bravely and you can complete the mission as well.
