Chapter 44: The Dark Pilgrim
In the evening, in a mountain depression, Li Mu and the three lit a bonfire, Manid neatly put the dried meat and some wild vegetables he brought into a small pot and cooked a pot of broth, Li Mu put a bowl, tore the bread and soaked it in the soup, so that it felt like mutton steamed buns.
Mama tea drank two large bowls, "After a day of running, it is really a good enjoyment to be able to drink a bowl of hot broth." ”
"Did you eat like that when you used to be a scout?" Li Mu seemed to ask casually.
"If you can get back to camp in the evening, you can eat it, but if you spend the night outside, you can only nibble on the dry bread in your arms. Scouts are not allowed to light fires when they are in the wild, for fear that the light and smoke will reveal their presence. I once crawled in the snow all night, and when I was hungry, I would nibble on two mouthfuls of hard dough that was frozen like ice cubes, and when I was thirsty, I would pick up the snow, and that night almost froze me to death. By the time the enemy had left in the morning, I barely got up. Saying that, as she spoke, Mama Tea seemed to fall into memory.
For a moment, the entire camp was filled with the crackling sound of burning firewood.
The sky slowly darkened, and the bright red sunset slowly sank below the horizon, leaving only a layer of pale red twilight still remaining in the sky, and it would not be long before the vast night would return to the land.
Just as Li Mu was leaning on the rocks after dinner, lazily watching the last rays of the sunset, Mama Tea suddenly fell to the ground, and then put her ears to the ground.
Li Mu sat up when he saw this, he was still convinced of Mama Cha's strength, Mama Cha's reconnaissance ability, he had already understood it in his previous life, it can be said that Mama Cha's strength can be regarded as one of the best in the Scout Realm of Calradia. Of course, the legendary Nord reconnaissance troops are not included in the statistics, they have long jumped out of the Three Realms and are not among the Five Elements. How can it be compared to ordinary people.
After a while, Mama Cha raised her head and said to Li Mu, "Boss, there are more than thirty people in front, most of them are wearing leather-soled boots, there is no sound of horses, they are walking in a hurry, and they seem to be coming in our direction." ”
"How far away." Li Mu spit out the grass stalk in his mouth and asked lightly.
"It's probably more than two miles away." Mama Tea said and looked at the sky, probably before it was completely dark.
After listening to this, Li Mu picked up his two-handed axe and stood up, "Manid, get up and get ready to work, let's see who is coming, if the person who comes is not good, there should be extra income." ”
"Boss, boss, can you get me a weapon too, you see I'm empty-handed, and I can't help if it's an enemy." Mama Tea came up again.
"There are some pirate equipment in the pack horse's package, you can pick and choose, if there is something that can be used, take it and use it first." Li Mutou said without replying.
"Okay, boss." Mama Tea got Li Mu's reply, ran to the place where the package was placed, opened the package, and picked out two machetes used by pirates from it and copied them in her hands.
As soon as Mama Tea picked out her weapon, a team flashed out from outside the mountain valley. The group numbered about thirty people, most of them dressed in black robes, hooded heads, and holding ebony sticks. A few had daggers and hunting crossbows in their hands. In the middle of the procession were five or six young women in long dresses, helped by hemp ropes, with rags stuffed in their mouths, pushed and shoved by several men in black, and staggering as they walked.
The team on the opposite side was also stunned when they saw Li Mu and the others standing in the mountain depression, and they didn't expect to meet a group of people outside here. However, after looking at the nearly thirty disciples behind him and then at the three people opposite, he felt confident in his heart.
"Lost mortals, we are believers in the dark gods, please restrain your speech and do not interfere with our pilgrimage, otherwise, we will let you know what the wrath of the gods is." A dry and hoarse voice came from the mouth of the black-robed man in the lead.
"Boss, it's a dark pilgrim of the Dark Order that has recently risen on the mainland, and I heard that the power is quite strong, what should we do?" Manid crept in. As a businessman who travels from south to north, he still has a lot of knowledge, and he also has a certain understanding of this emerging force.
"Hehe, it turned out to be a member of the Dark Order, I am more interested in the God of Darkness, I don't know if Your Excellency is interested in telling me about the doctrine of the God of Darkness." Li Mu walked forward slowly with a two-handed axe in one hand, and he didn't seem to be wary at all.
The black-robed man led by him listened to Li Mu's words for a moment, in the past, he was required to forcibly pull people into the sect and then use spells to erode the will of the other party in order to slowly influence the other party and make these people become sect members, but I didn't expect to meet someone who bumped into him today. If you lead this person into the teaching, you may be looked at differently by the above, and maybe it will be a great credit at that time. And the other party just walked up alone, and there didn't seem to be any threat.
Thinking of this, the black-robed man's heart warmed up, he waved his hand to let the sect members behind him put down the weapons in their hands, and then said in a tone that seemed as calm as possible, "It turned out to be a lamb who is willing to accept the enlightenment of God, I'm really glad that we have another brother, it's a long night, why don't we sit down and discuss the doctrine slowly, what do you say?" ”
"Yes, it's been a long night, I'm afraid it will be very lonely to go on the road alone, so it's better for a few of you to go on the road together." Li Mu said with a smile.
"yes, we're together, what? What did you say! The black-robed man in the lead seemed to realize that something was wrong, and hurriedly raised the ebony long stick in his hand.
However, before he could make any moves, a bright thunderbolt axe smeared his face, a scorched wound appeared on his head, and the white flowers inside the skull had been blackened by the swirling electric sparks, turning into a pile of charcoal-like substance.
Whoosh, two more sounds of breaking the air, and the two black-robed men holding hunting crossbows also had an extra bright flying axe on their heads, and they fell to the ground and died.
Seeing that the flying axe was effective, Li Mu activated the stone skin technique, ran two steps and rushed into the crowd, picked up the two-handed axe and began to slash and chop.
A black-robed man saw Li Mu's two-handed axe chopping over and raised the ebony stick with both hands to resist, but he didn't expect that the ebony stick that could resist the ordinary sword chopping was actually directly split into two knots by the two-handed axe, and before he could figure out what was going on, his eyes were dark, and he never woke up.
Seeing Li Mu constantly slashing forward, a black-robed man secretly walked behind Li Mu, took out the dagger on his waist and stabbed it violently.
However, to his astonishment, the dagger that could easily pierce the leather armor was as if it had been pierced into the leather armor, and no matter how hard he tried, he could not penetrate it even further.
Just when he was puzzled, Li Mu turned around and swept away, the sharp axe blade slashed through his waist, and his upper body slid straight to the ground. There was a terrible wail.
At this time, Manid, who had killed pirates several times with Li Mu, had already quietly detoured behind this group of black-clothed people, blocking their retreat. Although, it can't be completely blocked, but as long as one or two are contained, it's enough.
And Mama Tea was eager to prove her worth, and she also joined the battle group with two knives. As a scout in the Wiki Army, normal fighting is naturally not bad, otherwise, you will not be able to survive that harsh scout encounter. In the face of these reckless men who only rely on their strength, they are naturally invincible.
A moment later, Li Mu and Mama Cha slaughtered more than thirty black-robed people. When the last black-robed man was forced into a corner by Li Mu, the black-robed man threw down his long stick and pulled out the dagger at his waist, "The great god of darkness will not spare you." Just as he was about to stab the dagger into his chest, Li Mu flew up and kicked the dagger in his hand away. Then, a sweeping leg tripped the black-robed man, and with two clicks, Li Mu trampled off the other party's two arms.
"I hate it when people threaten me." Li Mu said and picked up the other party's dagger, then walked to the young women who were tied, cut the rope on the other party's body, and then handed the dagger in his hand to a young woman, "This person has been handed over to you to dispose of, and you can do it yourself as you want to deal with it." ”
