Chapter 188: Leaving the Stone Forest for the First Time
The forest is empty, the morning sun shines on the soil in the forest, and the flowers bloom with a peaceful fragrance.
There was no trace of the undead, no dark breath, only the faint rancid smell of the air. Old Edgar frowned, the old man had not been able to sense the presence of the evil undead since he stepped into the jungle, which made him feel the doubts of the knights from the cathedral.
The players who followed this group of NPCs all took on the S-class quests issued by the Mercenary Guild, and most of them were thinking about the terrifying rewards after completing the quests. With today's lineup, can that wild boar not die? Are you kidding.
But don't let the boar run away, that boar is very cunning, many times it kills people and runs away, without dragging mud and water.
Edgar frowned with a slight sweat on his forehead, because he was desperate to find the undead, and although the Lord of Light should believe in the light, he was also worried that he would be punished by the cathedral for his age.
"There are so many corpses here! They seem to have been corrupted by necromancy! ”
The knight who was exploring the way ahead shouted loudly, so that Edgar's old heart finally let go, and he was driven away by a group of light priests and knights.
In the hidden corner, more than 20 corpses are placed horizontally and vertically, unrecognizable and stinking, and the exposed white bones stimulate the viewer's eyeballs, and these bones linger with a faint black gas, which is slowly evaporated by the sunlight.
"The light is above, they are the guards of the city." Edgar spoke in a compassionate tone, hiding the joy he had just inadvertently revealed. "Purify these corpses and look around. These are definitely not the only soldiers who have lost here. ”
"Where's the boar?" Kerr sat on horseback and looked around, though she couldn't ride a horse. But it can be piggybacked by Bauhinia. It's just that the consequence of overloading is that you can't get the mount running, but it also saves some foot effort. And two beauties with their own merits riding together, it is also a beautiful landscape.
Bauhinia was more than ten centimeters taller than her, sitting on horseback and not having an affected vision, and she was also searching the surrounding jungle. The post on the forum had said that there were those broadsword beasts that were supposed to be in the south of the city, but there was no shadow at this time, and it was obvious that the intelligence information was wrong.
The wild boar also carries another layer of meaning at this time, as long as it can be killed, complete the S-level mission and get the reward of the mercenary mission, the reward is the most attractive. At this time, it is nothing more than that prestige.
"What's the matter, where are all those monsters?" Big Bear muttered in the crowd, "Last time it was in the back, be careful, don't be ambushed!" ”
The players suddenly became nervous, remembering the wild boar's scheming, cruelty, murderous nature, and unconventional characteristics, and suddenly there were fewer complaints and more vigilance.
"My lord, there's something unusual over there!" A knight returns with a horse. He reported to a middle-aged man among the knights, who looked at Edgar and did not speak.
"What did you find?"
"A passage, we've found a passage with hellish creatures!"
"Let's go check it out." Edgar suddenly came to his senses, and the knights and priests around him were also shocked at the same time. Hell creatures, naturally, refer to evil creatures that exist in hell. If hellish creatures are found here, the credit will not be small.
Or. This is the main culprit who has been haunting the jungle all this time. The Lord Priest thought about it for a moment, and began to calculate how to take responsibility for himself. Convert into the accumulation of the basilica merit book.
Human nature is like that.
The stone forest aisle, which had been silent for an unknown number of years, began to welcome the first humanoid creatures. The boars have already explored the area, and except for a few hell puppies, they have left with nothing.
"The ancient and evil power, the ancient light barrier, this should be a forbidden place recorded on the tree."
The old priest of light behind him held his beard and said, and the chief priest Edgar looked at the corpse of the hell puppy that was slaughtered by the knights and picked up in front, and frowned. "These cerberus are just young, and their strength is very weak, and I'm afraid there will be more dangerous existences ahead."
"The Knight of Light is not afraid of any difficulties and dangers," the middle-aged captain said lightly, "We should explore the area here, and the Lord Priestess should stop here for the time being." ”
"It's dangerous for you to go alone, so let's go, and if we encounter an enemy who is incapacitated, we can also use collective teleportation." The old priest said this, and more than a dozen gray-haired old men walked together, and Edgar, who didn't want to go in and take risks, could only nod in agreement.
The knight captain insisted: "This place is shrouded in an enchantment, and it is not suitable for the deployment of troops, just enter some people." ”
"Then the five of us will go in, and ten more knights will follow." Among the more than a dozen priests, a tall and thin old man walked out, who seemed to have an extraordinary status, and after speaking, the people around him quickly quieted down. Although Edgar didn't know the man, he listened to the guy and waited outside.
The fifteen-member exploration team entered the aisle, and one by one the hell puppies rushed over, but they were completely purified by the holy light.
The group of players also moved, and the dozens of people who walked in front rushed into the stone forest aisle, while the others tried to enter, but the entrance was blocked by the Holy See knights who reacted.
The players who couldn't get in suddenly beat their chests, thinking that they had missed the opportunity to complete the S-class mission, and the dozens of players who entered were quickly driven out by the knights who drove in.
"Ahead is the forbidden land of light, and no one is allowed to set foot in half a step without an order from the Holy See!"
"Get out of here!" The player doesn't care what the Holy See is not the Holy See, and the forbidden place can't help it, "We have a bounty order, why don't we go in and kill pigs!" ”
"You guys get out of the way, more than ten people will definitely die if they go in." Big Bear firmly believes that the wild boar is ambushing in front of him with a group of demonic beasts, "We can't disperse, we have to go in groups!" ”
"Humph!" The knight captain suddenly jumped off his horse, pulled the big bear by the collar with one hand, and threw the strong but temporarily weak shield battle directly out of the coffin, "Noise! ”
As soon as the knights who came in to drive the player away, the air trembled, and several figures emerged from the stone pillars. One of the thieves put away the tattered cloak in his hand, and it was with the group stealth skill of this prop that he was able to deceive the search and drive away of the group of knights.
"What the hell is this place?" Uncle Hua pinched his mustache and was amazed, surrounded by seven or eight war-mad elites, including the thief. "Go ahead and keep up with those NPCs."
"Uncle! You're here too! A sweet greeting came from the front, and the flower pants looked up, but felt eighteen angry glances. Bauhinia Lan magically appeared in front with the Nine Knights, and they were controlling the distance without riding a mount, avoiding disarming the more than ten people in front.
"Hello Ke'er, hehe, everyone is here, we really meet everywhere in life, and we are really fated to be the head of Bauhinia."
Uncle Hua waved and said hello, walked forward in three steps and two steps, and the subordinates who followed behind him turned their heads and looked around at the same time, with an expression of 'I don't know this guy'.
"Quest props." Zijing Lan pointed to Uncle Hua's chest, and the latter looked down in astonishment, only to see that the golden cage that had been hanging on his chest was flashing.
Furious Battle Flower Pants was suddenly very surprised: "That guy must not be far ahead!" Otherwise, this would not be the case. ”
"Huh? Uncle, what are you messing around with a light bulb. ”
"It's not a light bulb," the uncle tightened his collar to let the light fade for a while, otherwise it would be a little scary for his chest to always flash. "A quest prop, as long as you are close to that boar, you can sense its existence."
"Wow, that's amazing," Kerr's eyes suddenly narrowed into a pair of crescents, obviously thinking about something.
Although Zijing Lan didn't say much, she didn't refuse and had already acquiesced to the fact that she could go with a few battle maniacs, they were not the only players who avoided the knight's drive, but they were definitely the most powerful of the few people.
"Keep up ahead, it looks like there's still a long way to go." Zijing Lan looked at the corpse of the hell puppy at her feet, a twenty-seventh-level monster, there should be a plot here. (To be continued......)
