Volume 1: The Lost El Dorado Chapter 12: The Beast Tide of Mount Under Armour

"Here, according to the map, it will probably not be until tomorrow to reach the entrance that the Dwarven King spoke of. Carl pointed to a place on the map.

"Then let's rest for the night. Goliath said, turning to look at his surroundings. Velia also observed it slightly and agreed.

"I'm going to eat barbecue, I'm going to eat barbecue. Phoenix, who had been sleeping in Karl's arms in the city of Anko, Moscow, fell on Karl's shoulder and argued. "Okay, it's just that now that you're so fat, it's going to be delicious when you roast it. Carl said with a slick in exchange for a phoenix peck.

Choosing a clearing near the river with a higher level than the river, Carl took out the tent from the spatial ring and opened it with Goliath, while Vilia and Phoenix went to catch fish in the river.

Although the sky had darkened, there was no trouble for the half-elves, and with the sound of a bowstring, a fat river fish surfaced. "Velia, Goliath and I will go to the woods in front to see if there is any game, and then pick up some dead branches and come back. Carl shouted at Veria, but the half-elf beauty seemed to be so absorbed in the pleasure of catching fish that she ignored Carl. Karl shrugged helplessly, and then drank Goliath and walked into the woods.

"Goliath, what's going on between you and the Messiah?" Walking on the forest path was boring, so Karl found something to talk about.

"When this is over, I will return to the Roma tribe and complete the tribal test so that the Messiah can marry me. Goliath said lightly.

"Really? That's really congratulations. Carl was not particularly happy when he heard about his friend's happy event. Goliath also knew why, so he continued: "Karl, I know what you are worried about, but this is my choice, maybe my fate is to wander. ”

"So you let go of the hatred?" Karl asked.

"I don't blame that girl for that, after all, she is just a commoner, how can she continue to insist on justice under the oppression of the power of the nobility? There was no trace of resentment in Goliath's tone, only the blandness after the downplay of things.

"In that case, then I won't try to persuade you again. If you're tired one day, tell us that our adventure awaits you. Karl stopped and stretched out his right hand.

Seeing Carl's movements, Goliath looked a little helpless, "Carl, you're still the same. Goliath smiled and stretched out his right hand to clasp it tightly with Karl's right hand. "My good brother. Karl took Goliath's hand and hugged him tightly. Goliath raised and lowered his left hand, and finally lamented: "This is my fate, we cannot change it. ”

"Okay, how long are the two big men going to hug?" said Goliath as Karl pushed Karl away, smiling. "Hey, you hairy gorilla, don't be disgusting. Karl laughed and hammered Goliath on the chest, and the two began to pick up dead branches on the ground.

Soon, the withered branches in the arms of the two were full.

"Karl, do you hear that?" said Goliath, picking up a dead twig and turning to Karl. "Really, what have you been doing lately? Can't you let me quietly pick up some dead branches?" Karl took the dead branch in his arms into the space ring, and then took out the rune sword given by the dwarf kingdom - the sword of slashing enemies.

Goliath walked up to Karl's side with a solemn face and said, "Karl be careful, I see that the situation is a bit serious." "yes, I see. Karl nodded slightly. Feeling the tremor of the ground grow stronger, Carl stared solemnly into the depths of the woods.

"Roar!" a huge beast roared, and Carl saw a huge beast breaking through the trees and rushing towards Carl and the two, followed by countless other beasts. "Run, Carl. It's a beast tide!" Without Goliath's reminder, Karl turned and ran the moment he saw the first monster appear.

"Goliath, what's going on? Why is there a beast tide at this time?" Karl asked Goliath as he ran forward. "I don't know, but looking at the appearance of those monsters, it looks like something is chasing after them. ”

On the main plane, a Blood Moon occurs every year in March, May, and November. Under the influence of the Blood Moon, a beast tide will erupt in the Central Mountains, so at this time, many adventurers will stay away from the Central Mountains. But now it's only July, and there are still three months to go before the next beast tide, and Carl can't figure out why the beast tide is breaking out at this time.

"Yes, tell Vilia quickly. Carl took out a raven model from the spatial ring, crushed it, and then a wisp of gray smoke floated out of the raven model to form the shape of a raven in mid-air, "Go, tell Phoenix to come and pick us up." Karl said to Raven. The raven hissed and flew into the sky.

"It should be some powerful existence that drives these demonic beasts, Carl, you see that there are only a small number of flying demonic beasts in the sky. Goliath said, pointing to the sky.

Indeed, the night sky was very clear, and there were not a few flying monsters.

"Goliath, could this have anything to do with the ruins of Kuskes?" Karl asked. "Chances are, from the very beginning, the ruins of Kuskes City reveal something strange. And if it's because of Cuskes City today, Carl thinks we need to remake our plans. Goliath said to Karl as he looked at the beast tide that was getting closer and closer behind him. "Let's wait until we get out of trouble first. Goliath sighed, Karl is good at everything, but he is too focused on commitment, as long as he promises something, no matter how difficult it is, he will try to complete it.

At this moment, a clear birdsong was heard in the distance, and Carl saw that the sky was like a sunset, and red clouds were rolling. Vilia rides above Phoenix's head and flies towards Carl.

"Come on. Phoenix stopped in front of Carl and Goliath, and Vilia held out her right hand. Carl grabbed Velia's hand with an arrow and jumped onto Phoenix's back, and Goliath did the same. When both of them had stopped, Phoenix let out a cry and soared into the sky. And those demonic beasts that became sluggish at the moment Phoenix appeared, all let out a roar after Phoenix left, and then continued to run forward.

In the Mt. Anderville, Sir Wacole stood in a valley with a sad face. He didn't expect that he had already suffered heavy losses before he entered the city of Kuskes. Looking at the four dead bodies lying on the ground not far away, Sir Wacole did not know whether to take the next road or not.

"My lord, what are we going to do next? Brooke, the magic swordsman, walked up to Sir Wacole and asked. In the impact of the beast tide just now, he was not badly injured, and there was still blood oozing from the gauze that wrapped his chest.

"Now let them be cremated. Their bodies cannot be left here. Then send a letter to the regiment commander and inform the regiment commander of the situation here. Then we rest for the night and then move on. Sir Wacole said.

"Yes, sir. Brooke was relieved to see that Sir Wacole was still determined, and then turned to give orders to the rest of the team. "Captain, should we have the captain send some more people? If we continue like this, we will most likely be wiped out!" said Chris as he came to Sir Wacole.

"Eh, I don't know how difficult it will be to the road, but Chris, I have already made a guarantee in front of the head of the regiment, and I will definitely complete this mission. Sir Wacole sighed.

"But, Captain, you know. We had just entered the vicinity of Mount Anderville when we were attacked by poisonous rats, demons and beast tides, and if we entered the ruins of Kuskes, we didn't know what we would encounter. In our current state, if there is one more accident, it is possible that the whole army will be wiped out. In this way, you can't complete the task, captain, and we can't survive, so you have to think about it for us, captain. Chris was a little anxious and spoke a little unscrupulously.

"Chris, watch your words. Sure enough, when Sir Wacole heard Chris's words, his face changed dramatically, and he reprimanded in an unkind tone. Chris also knew that he had lost his words and stopped talking.

Ranger Potter, who had been at the outermost end of the line, was a little helpless when he saw Sir Wacole arguing with Chris. If the beast tide just encountered, if Potter hadn't been the first to discover and warn, I'm afraid that the people lost by the Greywater Mercenary Group at this time would not have been the four people lying on the ground.

Now Potter is also a little confused about whether to move forward, it is obvious that if he continues, the danger will be much greater than expected, but stop here, is it a little sorry for the Greywater mercenary group's motto of "duty, unity, and rage". So, Potter picked up a piece of roast meat with a dagger, and then lay on the ground and closed his eyes, leaving Sir Wacole to bother with this trouble.

Sir Wacole sat under an old tree, looking at the gloomy players, and wondered if he had done the right thing. Just thinking of what the regimental commander had told him before leaving, Sir Wacole's originally wavering eyes became firm.

"Czech, what's wrong with you?" suddenly came an exclamation from the side of the fire, "Czech, let go of Jerry." There was a noise from the other side of the fire, which made Sir Wacoul, who was already in a mood for the beast tide, even more annoyed, "What's the matter? What are you arguing about?" said Sir Wacole as he walked over to the crowd and reprimanded him loudly.

"Captain, Czech, he's gone crazy and is now biting Jerry. We can't tell them apart. One of the team members said anxiously to Sir Wacole. "Get out of the way. Hearing the words of the players, Sir Wacole rudely pushed away the players who were in front of him and came to the front. As a result, he saw a tragic scene, the team member named Jerry had one ear bitten off by the bloody Czechs, and a large piece of flesh was missing from his thigh, and he was drenched in blood. The Czechs also wanted to bite Jerry's other parts, but the other team members grabbed him, and he could only scream angrily there.

"What are you all doing in a daze, knocking the Czechs unconscious. Sir Wacole slapped the stunned player next to him, then drew his sword and slammed the back of his sword directly into the Czech head. The result was contrary to Sir Wacole's expectations, and instead of being stunned, the Czech Republic became more brutal. The two team members who grabbed him were caught off guard and failed to hold him. Breaking free from the restraints, the Czechs had a fierce glint in their eyes and went straight to Sir Wacole's door. "Look for death. Sir Wacole's eyes flashed with a cold light, and with a wave of his saber, he saw the Czech Republic standing in mid-air, and then with a bang, the Czech body was cut in two, and bright red blood flowed out.

"What the hell is going on?" Sir Wacole asked, wiping the blood from his sword and turning to the stunned team members beside him. "Team...... Captain, yes...... Such. "One of the team members closest to Sir Wacole stammered and tried to tell what had just happened, perhaps because it had just happened too unexpectedly, or because Sir Wacole had killed the Czech, and he was too stammering. "You say. Sir Wacole pointed impatiently to another man.

"Yes. Captain. The man recounted what had just happened, and when he had heard it, Sir Wacole fell into deep thought. "You're saying the Czechs suddenly attacked Jerry, who was sitting next to him?" asked Chris as he walked over.

"Yes, Master Chris. The team member replied. "Originally, we were here to have a drink and talk about the beast tide that had just happened. I don't know if Jerry's sentence annoyed the Czechs, but the Czechs pounced on Jerry and bit Jerry's ear, and by the time we separated the two of them, one of Jerry's ears had been bitten off by the Czechs. The team member recounted what had just happened.

"Chris, have you found anything?" asked Sir Wacole. Chris stared at the Czech's corpse, especially the blood that had already coagulated, and then said to Sir Wacoul, "Captain, I suspect that the Czechs have inhaled the poisonous gas of the rat demon. ”

"What's the proof?" Sir Wacole was stunned by Chris's words, and everyone else looked at him in surprise, including Potter the Ranger, who had been lazy.

"Captain, please look. Chris crouched down and picked up a dead branch to break away the coagulated blood, and an invisible gray-green gas floated out of the blood, imprisoned in the palm of Chris by Chris.

"This is supposed to be the poisonous gas produced by the explosion of the poisonous rat demon that was sucked into the body of the Czech. Chris said as he placed the faint, barely invisible, poisonous gas in front of Sir Wacole. "I just don't know what will happen when this poisonous gas is inhaled. Did the Czechs tell you that they were not feeling well or something?" asked Chris to his Czech friend. "My lord, no. There has been nothing unusual about the Czech Republic in the past few days, so we didn't expect the Czech Republic to suddenly attack Jerry just now. ”

"Captain, no matter what, my advice now is to wait for the regimental commander to arrive. At present, we have no way to deal with the poisonous gas of the rat demon, and if we encounter the rat demon again, we will not be able to deal with it at all. We can't detect who inhaled the poisonous gas produced by the poisonous rat demon after the explosion, so we can't complete the task at all. Chris took the opportunity to persuade again.

"I see, let me think about it again. Sir Wacole did not directly agree, but he did not refuse either. Chris was overjoyed when he saw Sir Wacole's reaction, as long as Sir Wacole did not directly refuse, then it meant that the matter was still negotiable.

"My lord, what is Jerry going to do? Now he's passed out. "Well, carry him over there, I'll show him, I don't know if this poison gas is contagious?" Chris said a word that made the two team members standing next to him stand still and didn't dare to move, "Hey, the unpromising coward, or someone from the Greywater Mercenary Group, go and move it for me." Chris watched the two of them remain motionless and kicked directly on one of them. The two had no choice but to cower and carry Jerry, who was lying motionless on the ground, to the place designated by Chris.

Looking at the Czech Republic, who still had an angry and crazy expression after death, Chris sighed inwardly, but it was not very uncomfortable. After all, as a mercenary, you have long put your life on the line. Chris snapped his fingers, a wisp of flame rose from his fingertips, and he threw the flame at Czech's body, and then cast a protective shield to prevent the poison gas from spreading in the blood, and Chris turned to treat poor Jerry.

"Carl, where do we fall?" asked Velia, who stood on top of Phoenix, like a moon goddess. "Since the beast tide is going down the mountain, then fly directly to Under Armour. Carl glanced at the dust and smoke that had gone away on the ground and said to Vilia.

"Karl, what do you think the people behind this beast tide will be?" asked Goliath. "I don't know about that. But looking at the state of the beast herd, it seems to be driven away by something terrifying, and it shouldn't be the existence of the beast king. Karl replied after recalling the state of the herd at the time.

"Did you feel an evil aura at that time?" said Goliath, "Maybe it's because I have reached the abyss, and when the beast tide appeared, I felt a powerful abyssal demon aura behind the beast tide, chasing the beast herd. Goliath voiced his guess.

"Goliath, you have guessed before that the mutation of the ruins of Kuskes City is related to the abyss, could it be that there is a spatial tunnel leading to the abyss? Karl said.

"Chances are, Carl, we'd better be careful. If the space tunnel is really generated, I hope you can evacuate in time, we do not have the ability to seal a space tunnel that can communicate with the abyss. Goliath said to Karl with a solemn expression.

"Goliath, don't worry. I'll take notice. ”

"We're coming. Velia reminded. Carl saw that Phoenix had flown to a valley, and in front of them was the destination of the trip, Mount Under Armour.
