Chapter 41: Death Jedi (Part I)
The dusk sun was slowly setting towards the western sky, and the chariot convoy that had been broken down in this gray-yellow land was slowly moving. All of the wagons looked extremely dilapidated, and the pungent rancid stench of the wagons attracted even the scavengers of the wasteland to hover in the air.
The members of this team were none other than Chen Kai and his party, who were accidentally shrouded in the battle area of the two Great Lord-level monsters. The sudden and unwarranted disaster caused heavy losses to the carriage convoy, and the death of a dozen dwarves covered the entire convoy with a layer of grayish sorrow. Although the dead dwarves had been cremated, the blood stains on the carriage still had not had time to be removed. The blood stains gave off a disgusting aura under the scorching sun, but no one in the entire convoy paid any attention to them.
Chen Kai was a little afraid to look into the eyes of those dwarves now, although all the dwarves, including Armand, didn't blame Chen Kai, but after all, this path was chosen by him. If he hadn't been so anxious to join the Great Convoy of Dwarves, perhaps they wouldn't have stepped into the battlefield between the two Great Lords. Perhaps the most frustrating thing for him was that they had never been able to see the appearance of the huge Golden Wasteland Demon Lion, the lion that had caused them to lose so much did not know where it came from.
Under that terrifying attack, not to mention the dwarves, they suffered heavy losses, and even Chen Kai and the others were injured one after another. The most unlucky was Zhao Tiezhu in the carriage, and his two legs were directly cut off by the wind blade that fell from the sky. Even Chen Kai himself was cut several times by this terrifying wind blade, and there was hardly a piece of good meat on his body. The flying blades of the wind cut several cuts in his back. even almost smashed Chen Kai's internal organs.
The only thing Chen Kai could do now was lie on the roof of the carriage and endure the pain and tingling of the healing wound in his back. On the shaking carriage, Chen Kai opened his eyes and looked at the vultures hovering in the sky, one by one, the vultures followed the carriage and kept circling, they wanted to pounce from the sky, but it was obvious that the moving carriage made them dare not move. It's just that Chen Kai knows very well that the vultures above their heads are a very huge threat to them, but there are no birds in the entire convoy that can attack these huge wasteland birds that can attack thousands of meters in the air.
Armand had previously used a musket to bombard the vultures in the sky, only to be greeted by the strange cries of the big birds as if they were fired. Because the bullet didn't hit a target at all, it hit an inverted U-shaped trajectory in the air and fell directly to the ground after it was fired high. Faced with an unreachable target, Chen Kai and the others had no choice but to look up to the sky and sigh. Of course, in fact, they can also summon the two little ones to disperse those scavengers in the sky, but after driving them away more than a dozen times in a row, the two little ones are exhausted and have no strength to fly, and in the end the group can only let these guys scream in the air.
Luckily, they weren't far from the dwarven convoy at the moment. The distance between the two sides in a straight line is less than a day's journey. As long as they are fast enough, they can catch up with the dwarven convoy that is slowing down before dark. Of course, they may never be able to catch up, because according to the urine nature of the creatures in the wasteland, when a large number of scavenging birds appear in the sky, there will definitely be wolves or hyenas on the ground. Even other predators will come along to join in the fun.
For a group of people at this moment. They are powerless to resist any pack of wolves or even hyenas. So if the scavenging birds in the sky bring in the carnivorous creatures of the wasteland, then the only thing that awaits the wagon convoy is destruction. Chen Kai already had a premonition about this, so he was even more afraid of staring at those dwarves. There was a grayish-white atmosphere of sadness throughout the convoy, even though everyone knew that they were very close to the large convoy. But the situation at this moment made all the dwarves feel that they might not be able to make it to the convoy.
Grief and despair made the convoy look lifeless, like a group of undead wandering the wilderness. Although the group thought of cleaning up the blood stains on the carriage to eliminate the smell, the blood stains had penetrated into the middle of the wooden planks of the carriage, and the pungent smell of blood turned into a rotten stench directly after being exposed to the sun and drifted into the sky, no matter how much water was washed, it could not be eliminated. Chen Kai: They even used smoke to roast the carriage, but in addition to the initial effect, the smoke will lose its effect again after half an hour.
There was no sound from the seemingly dead silence of the carriage, and even the dwarves inside fell silent. Due to the lack of medicine, although they were simply treated, there were still many wounds on the dwarves' bodies, and the blood oozing from these wounds was the source of the constant smell of blood throughout the carriage. Chen Kai's gauze and medicine on their bodies had been completely exhausted, and even they themselves could only rely on magic to treat their wounds simply, so they needed to join the dwarven convoy as much as possible, otherwise even if the group would not be killed by the creatures in the wasteland, they would gradually die of blood loss due to lack of treatment.
The rickety wagons drove slowly across the wasteland, and although they looked extremely dilapidated, they were extremely stiff on the bumpy road. Surprisingly, until the sunlight completely disappeared from the western sky, Chen Kai and the others did not encounter any attacks, even when the moon in the sky had risen from the ground to the center, there were no enemies around them.
"Is this the blessing of Lady Luck?" Chen Kai looked at the silent wilderness, in fact, it could not be said that the wasteland was silent at this time, because there were still predators moving in various places, but none of the predators attacked them.
"If that's the case, then I hope the goddess can protect us a little more! Because we are now less than ten kilometers away from the Dwarven army! If they're willing to send a team to pick them up, then we're completely safe now! Xu Fei shook his empty sleeves, and his only remaining arm hung from his neck. Now that he had completely lost his ability to cast spells, one of his arms had been crushed by the wheels of the carriage, and the other had been wounded in the previous battle.
"But then again! Boss, have you ever contacted Chen Yi's girl? Zhao Tiezhu looked at Chen Kai and said. To be honest, if you don't hang up in the wasteland, the respawn point will appear in a random place I don't know where, and the experience points lost by hanging up are too much. Maybe Zhao Tiezhu will try to resurrect himself, at least without having to endure the pain of the wounds in his legs and the pain of broken bones in his body.
"This doesn't seem to be the case!" Chen Kai suddenly remembered that he had forgotten this important matter, if he had contacted Chen Yi and his party earlier, maybe they would have received the support of the dwarf convoy in front of them at this moment. It's just that the moment Chen Kai contacted Chen Yi, his face directly became extremely pale.
"Brother! Don't come here! Don't come here!! Get out of here! The farther away the better!! Chen Yi's voice was full of anxiety, and at the same time, Chen Kai had already seen the terrifying incomparable light of the location of the dwarf convoy in the distance. The golden gate that suddenly opened in the sky poured down dazzling divine power, but what rose to the sky on the ground was an even more terrifying evil force.
"What's that?" Everyone saw that terrible scene, even if the sky was more than ten kilometers away, even if there was no moonlight at night, the sky still clearly reflected the scene of the conflict between light and darkness. Look at the slowly opening door in the sky, but gradually closing by force. Chen Kai was now eager to rush there right away to see what was going on. But I saw the black light rising into the sky on the ground. He hesitated again, most importantly, because he didn't know what was left after he ran there.
"Boss! What's wrong? What's going on? Everyone felt a burst of fear when they looked at Chen Kai's pale face and the huge changes in the location of the dwarven convoy, although Chen Kai's face was pale enough before, but at this moment, his face was simply like lime.
"I don't know! But Chen Yi told us not to get closer, and to leave as far away as possible! Chen Kai said slowly. But he didn't know what to do next. If you stay away from the dwarven convoy. So how can they get out of the wasteland? After all, they had no idea how to get out of the wasteland.
"Boss! Spirit points! Let's take a look at the American blockbuster first! At least you can have something to enjoy before you die, and of course it would be even better if you could see it up close! Zhao Tiezhu tried to contact He Liwen and the others, but they all showed that the other party was in a state of death or could not reply for the time being, that is, he was in a busy state. Seeing this situation, as long as the IQ is not negative, you will understand. The place where the dwarf convoy was located had definitely encountered a very bad thing, and the situation was so bad that Chen Yi and the other players had already been killed and injured.
"This should be Yi Yatou using divine power to conduct! But it doesn't look like it's a bit like it's directly summoning the power of the gods? Xu Fei held up the eagle eye telescope in his hand and looked at the magnificent picture in the distance, the golden gate of the sky was trying to open, but the surging golden power was suppressed by the evil power rising to the sky on the ground, and could only project a ray of golden light to envelop an extremely small area.
"What does he matter? All I know is that this time the grey dwarves are going to suffer! Or maybe they've already suffered, and of course the unluckiest of all are the black dwarves! Armand! I'm sorry! Maybe your people—" Fei Yun didn't continue, but anyone could already understand what he meant.
"I know! I'm going to get out of the wasteland and into the Dwarven Kingdom, and I'm going to ask those guys why this is happening! If they don't answer, then I'll blow their heads with the musket in my hand!! Armand squeezed the dwarven musket in his hand so hard that the barrel of the gun began to creak with so much force that it was so hard that it began to creak.
"So what do we do now?" Looking at the scene of the conflict between heaven and earth in the distance, Chen Kai had already noticed that the air around him had begun to become churning, and it was obvious that the air currents generated by the collision of forces had gradually affected their location.
"What else can I do? Now, if we go there, it's definitely death! And most crucially, maybe by the time we get there, the battle is over! Those evil forces should wipe out the fleeing dwarves around them! I think we should leave before we are discovered! Xu Fei pointed to the sky in the distance, which was gradually becoming golden, and he didn't know if it was the light that was returning to the light or the appearance of the divine power now taking the upper hand.
"Yes! But it wasn't us who left! It's you! Chen Kai said slowly, "Second brother, you leave with the others." I'm going to check on the situation alone! If I haven't joined you in two hours, don't wait for me! ”
"No! Now there are only a few people left in the entire team who have combat effectiveness, and if you leave the entire convoy again, who will protect you! Xu Fei immediately stood up when he heard Chen Kai's words, he knew very well what kind of Cheng Dù the defense capability of the convoy had dropped to now, counting all the people including Chen Kai who could take up arms to fight, that is, the players were only Chen Kai, Su Wan and Fei Yun, Su Xinghe could only be regarded as half, and Guan Yu's words Although his body was intact, his state recovered very slowly, and he only had one-third of his combat strength.
"If you can't do it, you have to do it! We must get a map to get out of the wasteland, or it will take months to get out of the wasteland. As for following the original path, don't forget the gnolls, it's a whole tribe of tens of thousands of gnolls, we killed the young patriarch of that tribe, I don't think those gnolls will be generous enough to let us out of their territory! And I have to get Alyssa out. If she's alive at all. That's what I promised Arnault, and she's an important partner for us! Chen Kai patted the carriage board vigorously and said, and then directly got up and summoned Lal When he said the last sentence, Chen Kai didn't dare to look at Su Wan's eyes. Although he has no selfish intentions at all, everything he says is just for the team. But he didn't dare to guarantee that Su Wan wouldn't be jealous.
"That's it! That's it! Su Wan! Remember to take care of yourself when I'm away! "After leaving this sentence behind. Chen Kai urged Ral to rush towards the place where the light collided. Ral's speed was pushed to the limit by him for a short period of time. In less than ten seconds, Chen Kai's figure had completely disappeared from the night.
"Let's go!" Xu Fei looked at Su Wan, who didn't have much expression on her face, and then greeted her gently. All the dwarves began to pull up their wagons and move away from the place where the incident had happened, silently moving across the moor under the protection of the night.
Lahr is fast. On the dark earth, the sound of horses' hooves stepping on the ground was completely drowned out by the roaring sound in the air. With Ral's speed of movement, it would take Chen Kai ten minutes to reach the location of the dwarven convoy, and he hoped that time was still in time. Actually, he didn't know if it was useful for him to go, but at least he could take a look at what kind of storage had attacked the dwarves.
Chen Kai's mood was extremely anxious on the galloping war horse, but time was passing by every minute, and the only good news for him was that the power collision in the sky had not ended so far. The two sides seemed to be in a state of parity, and Chen Kai didn't know if it was Chen Yi who released the magic this time, because the summoning of this scale was definitely beyond her ability. At the same time, Chen Kai found that the closer he got to the location of the dwarf convoy, the stronger the storm around him became, and when he reached the back, the dirt that was almost rolled up was already very painful.
"There are only two kilometers left!" Chen Kai moved forward with difficulty, Lal had already been put into the pet space by him, and now there was no point in whether there was a war horse in this environment. Because even Lal can only ensure that the turtle can move at a high speed, the terrifying power collision in the air constantly produces air explosions, and the dull air pressure makes it difficult for Chen Kai to breathe, so he can only lie on the ground and crawl slowly.
"This is the corpse of a dwarf?!" Looking at a short body curled up on the ground not far away, Chen Kai quickly crawled over. He examined the other man's wounds and equipment, apparently a dwarven scout, as a dispatcher to detect the surroundings at night. Unfortunately, the dwarven scout was killed before he could alert the camp, and the direction of the corpse's lying stomach and frightened face indicated that the opponent was killed with one blow. What Chen Kai couldn't understand the most was the situation of the corpse, it was extremely shriveled as if all the blood in the body had been sucked dry, and when he saw this corpse, Chen Kai subconsciously checked the big red fruits in the backpack space.
"Yes! Vampire creatures? Bloodsucker?! Chen Kai's mind still imagined killing the dwarf's enemy, but the marks on the wound showed that the other party was definitely not a vampire, because the wound was not a tooth mark, but a knife mark.
"Maybe it's a weapon with the ability to suck blood!" Chen Kai thought for a moment, and then continued to grope towards the location of the dwarven camp against the strong wind, so far he had not seen a single enemy appear in the field of vision, let alone the enemy, and he had not even seen the image of the camp. Because the sand and dust raised by the surrounding wind completely obscured his vision, he couldn't judge his location with his line of sight except for relying on Chen Yi's location in the system map to judge the direction.
When he crawled forward again at a rapid pace for a few hundred meters, he found that his position was less than a kilometer away from the camp. The violent air currents began to impact all around, and the vegetation on the ground had already been washed away by the air explosion, and what shocked Chen Kai was that he actually saw a signal point very close to him in the system map, which was less than a hundred meters away from him and was on his right.
"Who's there!" Chen Kai shouted in the team channel, but there was no sound to respond to him, as if he had fallen into silence. (To be continued......)
