Chapter 328: Diffusion

Octavir didn't have the legendary goofy attributes, she thought for a moment and deduced a reasonable statement, so she looked at Charlotte and asked very seriously, "Why, after those beam-jumping clowns targeted me and failed in the sneak attack, could it be that they are preparing to blatantly gather troops to attack?"

Charlotte was not surprised at all by the eldest princess's ability to speculate in this regard, if she didn't have such a brain hole, she was afraid that the little clever would not have been played to death in the city of Ridana, but it was a pity that the girl's speculation today had a slight deviation: "Well, it's not so exaggerated, but the weapons they use have some side effects, and this side effect has begun to have an effect. lā”

I have to say that Octavier's speculation is actually somewhat reasonable, but before that group of nobles with backbones is truly fully prepared, the other party will never casually send troops under his command to attack Her Royal Highness the eldest princess in broad daylight, which will only give the royal family and others the righteousness of their own annexation power.

Obviously, they are not ready for it now, and even if they deploy troops near Dresspel, at least Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess would not have the courage to attack when she was in the camp. Even if they did, they would only do so after Octavir left, so that they could say that they were targeting the Han people and not disrespecting the eldest princess.

So the large-scale troop attack that Octavier was expecting didn't happen, and what really made Charlotte nervous was something else.

"Hey, didn't they send their private soldiers to try to tie me back and do something strange?" Octavir beckoned the knight standing at the door to enter the room, then pouted and said with a look of disdain, "I thought those guys were a little more daring, but I didn't expect them to be all shrunken turtles." So, what kind of weapons did they use, and how did they have side effects?"

The technology in the Razfield plane was not enough to support the Empire's development of nuclear weapons, and even if the eldest princess told Matthias about the existence of this terrible weapon, the latter would only be able to draw a drawing. Therefore, the weapon with side effects cannot be something related to nuclear radiation, but in this world, it is more likely that it is some kind of immature magic array.

However, Charlot's answer was seriously beyond Octavier's expectations, and the knight didn't even correct the deliberately disdainful expression on the girl's face, and said very seriously: "The other party used creature everywhere such as dogs or other things as weapons, and injected a small amount of abyssal energy into their bodies, but it still has a certain effect. ”

When the eldest princess heard this, she finally couldn't continue to remain calm anymore, and her whole person became terrified on the spot: "Bridge Bean Sack, what did you just say, those guys used abyss energy!?"

"That's right, you just have to go up to the deck and have a look. Although I don't know what kind of means the other party can use to control the creatures infected by the abyss energy, the biggest characteristic of this energy is that it spreads, and it cannot be stopped, so there are more or less abyssal infections around the camp. ”

The girl immediately took a step towards the door without hesitation: "Let's go, let's go out and have a look." ”

Octavier's side is the level of [seeing], to the point where Nangong Rong is about to do it himself, the young man is standing at the edge of a small forest at the moment, raising his arm to let the golden retriever cat detect the situation in the woods.

It is not a good idea to recklessly go directly into the suspicious woods, Nangong Rong, who has always been as steady as a dog, will not behave so roughly, of course, he must test it beforehand.

Standing behind the young man and yawning boredly, Disya finally couldn't help it, stretched out her hand and patted the former's shoulder and asked, "Na, I said, you don't need to be so cautious at all, anyway, the abyss energy can't hurt you." When people see you, they're going to walk around, so wouldn't it be nice to rush in directly?"

Nangong Rong, who had walked among his compatriots a few minutes earlier to help everyone, did not wait for the assassin's attack, but received uncertain news that someone had seen wild animals with fur dyed a little fuchsia when they were collecting berries and mushrooms in the woods around the camp before the Holy Dragon was hit, so the boy went straight here.

"You can't say that. After all, the detection work is not your own responsibility, so Nangong Rong can easily turn her head and look at the eldest sister's head to start a conversation with her, "Although the abyssal energy is not effective against me, it may have infected some wild animals after all. Even if you don't need to care about the energy itself, it can be a headache to be bitten and scratched by an infected cat or dog. ”

"Well, hurry up and a tiger will take this goods. ”

Of course, this is just a joke, there is not even a single beast near Dressper, not even a wolf, it has long been driven or hunted by humans, Nangong Rong dares to use his experience as a hunter for several years to bet on the guarantee. The largest animal here is the eagle that occasionally passes by, stopping to drink saliva and catch a fish, rest for a while and then continue on its way;

The golden retriever cat had just finished the test at this time, and said with a slight cough: "Ahem! The abyssal energy infection in the woods has begun to have a snowball effect, fortunately, the situation is not very serious due to the small amount, but that is only temporary." You all know the situation in Bigar's hometown, there are plenty of resources around it, and the abyss will only expand faster, not slowly, and it is the same in this wood. I don't know if this is an unintentional spread or a premeditated operation, but in any case there is no small threat to the camp and it must be dealt with as soon as possible. ”

In fact, Nangong Rong thought that it was more likely that those aristocratic bigwigs had premeditated and secretly spread the abyssal energy in the woods around the camp in advance, after all, the people of the Razfeld plane had seen the power of the abyss, and the other party's deliberate spread of the abyssal energy around the camp could play a lot of roles - such as causing casualties and panic, and forcing Nangong Rong to abandon the camp, etc., anyway, it was enough to make people shake.

Even when the abyssal energy was flooding around the camp, they could justifiably attack the camp in the name of eliminating hidden dangers, and it would be better if some important people such as Nangong Rong or Octavir could be killed and injured in the chaos, wouldn't it?

It's a pity that their ideas are good, but they haven't known the most important information: Nangong Rong has a special physique that can absorb and transform the energy of the abyss, and all these things they designed will only end up being like a mirror.

"Let's go inside. Nangong Rong ignored Di Siya's joke and took the lead into the woods, "Keep your eyes open, I don't want to waste my energy on clearing the abyss energy in your body." ”

Although this trip is quite dangerous, Nangong Rong can't be the only one to enter the woods, so Di Siya transferred a team of heavily armed infantry, and also pulled Bigal and Lin Weiyin over as thugs, not to mention that there are only some infected small animals hidden in the woods, even if it is a genuine abyss monster, they have the ability to enter and break in.

Of course, the necessary safety protection measures should still be paid attention to, but no matter who cares too much, they will really encounter a relatively large danger. After all, compared to the hunting crawling that transforms into monsters, just infected wild animals can be described as cute.

There are many animals and plants growing in the woods, and there are often people in the camp who go inside to collect fruits, mushrooms, and other things to improve the food, but at this moment, when Nangong Rong led the team into the woods, he found that many plants had withered and turned into black charcoal-like things, and many small animals such as squirrels and sparrows also fell to the ground, and the insects that usually fly on your face did not even have a shadow.

The abyssal energy will only infect those creatures that are larger, and the smaller ones will die because they can't bear it, and it was because Nangong Rong knew that such a thing would happen that he dared to choose to lead the team into the woods. Otherwise, every ant that jumps out carries a trace amount of abyssal energy and is enough to pose a threat to humans, so what are you going to do, put on a fully enclosed chemical protective suit, and come again.

The infection that the Golden Retriever mentioned before was snowballing, but it was actually referring to the surrounding trees. In the woods, these taller than humans are the most susceptible creatures to survive and have a sufficient number of them, but it is difficult to say whether they will pose a threat to humans......

Unless they can rise from the ground like the Treants in the Magic Works, which doesn't seem to be happening so far.

Someone in the search team on the left flank had fired, followed by a salvo of several rifles, the bullets crackling leaves and branches, and a lot of bits and pieces were falling down in a screech - none of that mattered, the point was a relatively large black shadow falling from the tree after the gunfire stopped, which was what made the soldiers attack.

Lin Weiyin, who was wearing a brand-new power armor, naturally didn't have to worry about being eroded by the abyss energy, she quickly brought the black shadow in front of Nangong Rong and the others, and showed everyone and said, "It's a monkey." ”

Of course, the girl was not an ordinary monkey who had been beaten down by a new recruit who was extremely nervous about all the wind and grass as a monster, and most of its surface fur had been covered with a rich purple red color, and it looked like the source of the infection.

At least compared to this guy, the nearby trees with only a few places with fuchsia bark are normal, and it is still a few days before they are completely infected and transformed into monsters.

"What is this, the wild abyss has walked hundreds of highways through the front line of layers of fortifications, and has come to make a home in the woods near the camp outside the city of Drinppel?" Nangong Rong took the corpse that had been beaten into a hornet's nest from his cheap sister, and said in pain while examining it, "I don't believe it myself, it must have been deliberately placed in the woods." ”

"And there are more than one. Lin Weiyin tilted her head at the soldiers who had shot earlier, "According to their descriptions, I saw several shadows in the trees just now, but there was no cooperation between them." What should I do, do you want to start purification right here?"

With Nangong Rong's current ability and crystal, he can indeed do such a thing as absorbing the surrounding abyss energy in situ, and the little girl means that since it is difficult for humans to track down monkeys in the woods, then simply go to the map and forget it.

What's more, not long after the soldiers entered the woods, the group of monkeys jumped out instead of choosing to hide and seek, indicating that the other party's goal should be to infect humans who entered the woods - but unfortunately it was not civilians who came in, but soldiers who were like a great enemy, and they suffered a big loss just after seeing each other.

After suffering a loss, these creatures naturally won't stay in place for long, and it is obviously unrealistic to find them one by one in this infected forest, so after thinking about it for a while, Nangong Rong nodded and agreed with the cheap sister's proposal: "Okay, just do it." You are on guard around and don't let the monkeys disturb me. ”

Similar to the previous boy who transformed the abyss monster into his own subordinates, it was also something that could only be done with crystals, Nangong Rong immediately took out the crystal and held it in his hand, and then began to slowly inject force to make it bloom with a beautiful violet light.

The envelope area is about a few square meters......

"Wait for me, is it only such a small and large range?" Di Siya originally didn't plan to interject, but after seeing this situation, she couldn't help it, and walked straight to Nangong Rong's side and said loudly, "Are you being funny?"

"Sorry, it's not like specifying a target in a range, this all-round map cannon is more expensive, so it's really only such a large range. The young man was not angry, he kept his poker face and tilted his head to look at Disya and said very indifferently, "Or can you lend me your spiritual power?"

The eldest sister was immediately surprised when she heard this: "Hey, can you also borrow spiritual power, and in what way?"

"Isn't it common for a sacrifice with black magic to be similar?"

"Hurry up and take this guy personally, lest I can't help but shoot him in the head." ”

Although the conversation was a bit nonsensical, Nangong Rong's movements did not stop, and he soon walked slowly to the side of a tree with a slightly purple skin on the infected skin, and shrouded it with the light of the crystal.

Under everyone's nervous and expectant gaze, the fuchsia on the skin quickly melted away like snowflakes in the sun, and the trees regained their original healthy color.
