Chapter 174: The Polluted Forest (10)
Night fell again in the dark forest, of course, this night was the night in Chen Kai's system time, in fact, the surrounding environment was so dark that it was almost impossible to distinguish day from night. However, although the system time has entered the night, they have not stopped, on the contrary, they have begun to gradually increase their movement speed.
Although they had not seen any trace of the tainted ones, everyone knew that these creatures were following them right now. Because it was not the first time that Chen Kai and the others had been attacked by polluted people, less than two hours after they had encountered the polluted people for the first time, and more than 100 polluted people rushed out of the bushes while they were resting.
In the face of such a large number of tainted people, even if elven mages such as Nero Alu were willing to show mercy to their men, the problem was that these tainted people did not necessarily show mercy to their subordinates. When the first monster with some sanity and speech skills appeared among the tainted ones, the first words it said forced Nero Eru and other elven mages to intervene.
"Grab these elves and let them taste our pain!" Although there was only one sentence, Nero Eru and the others knew very well what the so-called pain was, and what it meant to be pain other than becoming a polluted person.
"Who are you?" Nero Aru knew that the tainted who could keep their sanity would not be ordinary people, and that only those who survived Teramis would know what elves were, as there were no such creatures as elves in the forest of Denzel.
"Who am I? I'm a man who has been abandoned by you hypocrites! Grab all the elves and let them taste our millennia of pain! A frantic and angry voice echoed in Nero Alu's ears, and of course he was responded to by a massive spell unleashed by Nero Alu. Although the power of Nero Alu's natural spells in this forest has been reduced by at least a third, as a legendary mage who has lost most of her powers, she is still somewhat proficient in other elemental spells. Not to mention the power of the spell released at this moment, the momentum alone is absolutely huge. Of course, when she released it, she activated the magic of two mana pearls to balance her mana consumption. Compared to Xu Fei, who could only passively activate the power of the mana pearl, Nero Ailu could take the initiative to use the mana pearl to reduce her mana loss, so as not to harm the source of mana that had just been restored.
The roaring cyan wind elemental power formed a violent wind blade in the air, shooting towards all parts of the pitch-black forest. When the blades were gone, no one knew how much damage they had done. However, when these tainted people in the darkness appeared, Chen Kai and the others knew that Nero Ailu's magic power was not as great as they thought. However, when the first tree collapsed, Chen Kai and the others realized the reason why Nero Elu used the Wind Blade, which was to use the terrifying cutting power of the Wind Blade to create a wide field. At the same time, the fallen trees are used to block those polluted in the dark, and in this forest, the distance between the trees is not large, and when a tree falls, it is easy to form a domino effect.
When trees that had been cut off by the wind blade fell, the active polluted ones soon suffered the first wave of damage. Each of the crunching trees that fell down weighed thousands of kilograms or even tens of thousands of kilograms. When the huge trees collapsed, the ground began to shake in an instant. In just over a minute, at least twenty or thirty towering giant trees with a height of twenty or thirty meters fell around Chen Kai and them.
Underneath some of the trees were some of the injured and polluted, but many more were outside the range of the fallen trees. However, their stealth ability was also broken, and they were unable to see for a short time due to the sudden light. In fact, Chen Kai and them were in the same state, because the range light technique released by several elven mages did not greet them at all. As a result, when a bright light appears. Not only were those polluted in the dark hit, but even Chen Kai, who was looking for the enemy with wide eyes, was also hit.
They've been in this dim environment for quite some time. As a result, the vision of both eyes has almost adapted to the dim surroundings. So when the ambient light suddenly became the same as the sun covering the ground during the day, their eyes were not able to adjust. However, since they had always used torches for lighting, they were much quicker to recover when confronted with such sudden light than those who were polluted.
When Chen Kai blinked his eyes full of tears a few times, his vision finally gradually became clear from blur, and the tainted people who were shrouded in light not far away had not yet recovered from this state. It will take at least three or four seconds for them to get out of this state, and even if they do, their eyesight will deteriorate to a certain extent.
At this time, it was definitely the best opportunity to attack, and Chen Kai did not let go of the idea of such an opportunity. He stepped on a fallen giant tree with both feet. The huge force trampled on it and caused several polluted people who were crushed under the tree to be hit hard again, and even one polluted person was directly trampled to death by Chen Kai's foot. However, Chen Kai didn't care about the polluted people who were trampled to death, he cared about the polluted people who were covering their cheeks to block the light in front of him.
When Chen Kai rushed over, these guys could only see a blurred shadow, but they still raised their weapons and pounced towards Chen Kai. It's a pity that they are doomed to disappointment. Because Chen Kai didn't raise the Radiant Blade and slash at them, but opened his mouth and released the Titan Roar. The moment he unleashed the Titan's Roar, an amplification technique fell on him, multiplying the power of his Titan Roar. When Chen Kai's roar comparable to that of a prehistoric giant beast sounded in the ears of these polluted people, the polluted people who originally wanted to use the numerical advantage to kill Chen Kai were instantly tragic. In frontal combat, the power is quite good, especially in close proximity, it is even more terrifying, and the power of the sonic attack generated after the blessing of the amplification technique has reached the terrifying Cheng dรน.
When Chen Kai's body shook and stopped, at least dozens of polluted people in front of him were stunned. By the time Chen Kai's giant sword fell towards them, the only thing these stunned tainted people could do was dodge. It's a pity that no matter how fast they dodge, there is no way to completely dodge Chen Kai's attack when their sense of balance is destroyed. The sharp greatsword instantly slashed into the body of a polluted person, directly bringing up a hideous head with pointed ears.
When Chen Kai rushed into the camp of these polluted people, Chen Yi's purification aura also unfolded at the same time, allowing Chen Kai to rush into it without any scruples. All the filthy blood was purified by the divine power in mid-air. Turned into patches of scattered white flames. However, Chen Yi's magic power was limited after all, and when her magic power was exhausted, the purification power would not be able to protect Chen Kai and them from the corrosion of filthy blood.
But before that, these tainted people were killed and retreated, and only about two dozen of the more than 100 tainted people finally escaped, and all of them were warrior types, because the tainted ones of the spellcaster and archer types could not resist Chen Kai's butcher knife at all. The ranged pro is not the most sassy in the world of Etia, but it is rare to be able to block the terrifying blade of the melee class when they are in close proximity. If the casters of such tainted ones were still able to cast spells, they wouldn't have been killed for a short time, but the problem was that they were temporarily blinded by a violent light spell at first. When they recovered, Chen Kai's Titan Roar swept over, and the terrifying sound wave directly caused the crispy spellcaster to fall into a state of dizziness before he could even release a spell.
However, although Chen Kai and the others won, they had to speed up their movements, because they were obviously targeted by these polluted people. In this forest, the polluted person is definitely the master of the forest. And they are a group of outsiders who could be killed at any time. So after a period of time passed, even if the system time had reached night, Chen Kai and they did not stop, but continued to trek through the forest.
"Boss! We should take a break, or we're going to be exhausted before those guys do it! Fei Yun wiped the sweat from his forehead. A long trek is definitely not an easy task, and a long trek in the Denzel forest consumes more, at least several times more than walking in the plains.
"Lord Nero Elus! Do you think we should rest? Chen Kai did not reply to Fei Yun directly. Instead, he turned his head and asked the elven mage. Because the most powerful here is still this beautiful mage. The most important thing is that she is the employer, and Chen Kai is the hired adventurer.
"Take a break! Lord Nelosild, please arrange the magic array! "Actually, Nero Aru is also very tired now, although they are sitting on the magic float, but the magic float is not omnipotent, and in some places it still needs a few elven mages to come down and walk on foot.
"Okay! Lord Nero Aru! "Although Neroseld, the elven mage, is also very tired, he still chooses to set up a magic circle, after all, the environment they are in is very unsafe. He didn't want to be caught by a bunch of polluted people while he was resting, and then he would be horrible like that.
When Nelosild, the elven mage, was setting up the magic circle. Chen Kai and the others were not idle, but hurried to prepare food. Of course, instead of using branches from the forest, they use fuel from stockpiles. Several spellcasters followed behind the opponent's ass to help when Nelosilde set up the magic array, or should it be said that he took the opportunity to gain more knowledge about the magic array.
When the whole magic circle is activated. A faint wave of elemental fluctuation formed around the camp. Although the range of this magic array was large, in fact, its only effect was to form a protective wall with very low power. At the same time, at the moment of the enemy's invasion, all the accumulated magic power is released, forming a one-time light spell. Of course, the brightness of that light spell was absolutely terrifying, and at least it could blind the eyes of those who were polluted in an instant. For Chen Kai and them, this magic array was definitely an umbrella for them in this forest, at least when it came to dealing with the polluted. It's just that once the entire magic array is in operation, it will be triggered as long as someone enters from the outside, and once triggered, it is almost difficult to reverse, so unless the magic power of this magic array is exhausted, it basically means that Chen Kai and the others are trapped inside. Of course, it was a bit too much to say that they were trapped inside, but if Chen Kai didn't want the magic array to be wasted, then they couldn't go in and out freely, they could only stay inside and rest.
However, this is not a bad thing for the tired people, after arranging the personnel on duty, everyone began to sleep immediately after eating. Even Chen Kai did not participate in the duty this time, but chose to rest because he consumed the most body. On more than one occasion during the long journey, Chen Kai acted as a trailblazer, wielding a weapon to cut through the bushes and branches in the forest that blocked the road. So he almost soon got into his dream, and the only thing in the camp was the sound of a few dwarves patrolling the campfire, except for the sound of the campfire.
When it was Chen Kai's turn to be on duty, a full six hours had passed, and this time he slept even longer than before. Because the scheduled shift time for the staff on duty is two hours. In groups of three dwarves and three players, four groups take turns resting for eight hours. By the time Chen Kai woke up, the camp was still quite quiet, but this quietness gave people a sense of tranquility before the storm.
Everyone knew that when those polluted people appeared in front of them again, there would definitely be more than before, so the first thing Chen Kai checked after waking up was his equipment. Relatively speaking, Chen Kai's armor is the best kind to repair, because he has a chest that can repair the armor by himself, and he only needs to keep putting in metal ingots and magic crystals so that the armor will slowly recover. A few hours was enough time to refresh Chen Kai's armor, and all he needed to check was his greatsword. After resharpening the blade with a whetstone, Chen Kai, who was wearing armor, began to patrol the camp and move his body by the way.
The camp, which covers an area of less than a dozen square meters, is actually not very large, and two tents and three bonfires are all made up of the camp. So the so-called patrol basically only needs to walk around to complete the task, and a few dwarves are much simpler. A simple fortification was built directly on the ground with wood, and it lay in it. The twelve dwarves lay in four groups in different positions of the fortifications, and when it was their turn, they got up and patrolled and then stayed in the fortifications to continue their rest.
If there was no problem, then Chen Kai could spend the night here safely, but apparently they were very lucky to have six hours of rest. When Chen Kai sat down and began to fill his stomach, he just took the first bite of the dough and didn't even bite the meat wrapped in the dough, he saw hundreds of black shadows slowly surrounding the camp.
"There are enemies!" Chen Kai's voice sounded in everyone's ears. The team channel's wake-up function at maximum volume woke everyone up instantly, as everyone rushed out of the tent. The muskets in the hands of the dwarves had already gone off. At the same time, there is also the light technique that is a thousand times brighter than the illumination crystal. The sudden light made the people who rushed out of the tent tragically hit. However, only a few people who rushed quickly were hit, and the people behind were not hurt because the people in front of them were blocked.
Of course, the light in the tent was good, so that when they rushed out, although they were damaged by the sudden appearance of the light technique, the damage was simply minimal. It would be nice to wipe your eyes a little and rub them a few times, but those who were polluted were much more miserable. Because they rushed forward almost unprepared, or rather, they were prepared. While the elven mages were preparing their spells, they were ready to block the light with their hands. But the problem is that they definitely didn't expect that when they stepped into the camp, they would cause the reaction of the magic array to release the hidden light technique, and as a result, they would trap their own people.
However, for these polluted people, this light has only pitted dozens of people at most, and this time, the number of polluted people who came to trouble Chen Kai and them is definitely not a few dozen. Rather, at least a few hundred or more. When a figure appeared in the dark forest, Nero Eru and other elven mages also came out of the tent. The moment they emerged from their tents, the Tainted casters unleashed the first wave of spells, and while the muskets of several dwarves were powerful, they were unable to suppress the Tainted with their vast ranged attack capabilities.
When the black magic bullet fell, several elven mages quickly released protective spells that enveloped everyone. It's just that even with the addition of Ilian, there are only five elven mages whose strength has recovered and reached the archmage level, and in addition to Illion, who can use all the magic power, other elven mages, including Nero Ailu, can mobilize half of the magic power, which is already very good. Another tragedy is that three of the elven mages are nature spellcasters, including Illion, who can use all his magic, and of course Evelyn doesn't count. In such an environment, the magic power of the nature mage is simply two words of sorrow, but even if they are sorrowful, they have to carry it, otherwise it only takes two rounds of magic bullets to survive, and not many people in the entire camp will survive.
Therefore, even if they knew that the natural spells would be suppressed in this forest, they had to choose to use the protective spells in the natural spells to fight against them. When the emerald green natural parapet appeared above everyone's heads, black magic projectiles exploded into ripples on it. But with the support of the magic of several elven mages, although the spell was suppressed, it would eventually be able to withstand it. (To be continued......)
