Act 44: Destroying the Portal (1)

The two were talking, when suddenly Calso crawled out of the cellar covered in blood, holding the sword that White Steel had thrown into it.

"It seems that my efforts have not been in vain."

White Steel laughed in satisfaction, but the next moment, Calso suddenly turned his head to his side, his eyes full of hatred.

Annu smiled: "It's not in vain, and it seems that there is something unexpected to be gained." ”

Bai Gang shook his head helplessly, and said self-deprecatingly: "It is indeed quite hateful to pull a crazy person back to this crazy world. ”

Although he was hated, but fortunately, Bai Gang himself did not intend to ask for anything in return, and the truth that it is difficult to be a good person is the most clear to him who has lived in China for two lifetimes.

In his hometown, it is really not good to do good deeds without a little breezy psychological quality, otherwise sooner or later he will die of anger if he does not compensate himself to death. Therefore, he only saves people as he pleases, neither demanding the gratitude of the rescued nor ignoring the grievances of the other party.

After killing the ghoul in the cellar, Calthor was still a little emotionally unstable, but he was finally able to tell the story.

The massacre took place two days earlier, when the attack on Nightcrow was carried out by an army of undead led by powerful necromancers. Although the terrain of Night Raven Castle is dangerous, the castle is mostly a structure of logs and masonry, and it is not very strong, which is indeed enough to deal with the average undead army, but that necromancer actually summoned a bone dragon out!

It didn't take half a day's effort, and the fortress that humans relied on to resist was smashed to pieces by the bone dragon.

Without the protection of the castle, the rest of the matter was not to be said, and the humans of Raven were quickly defeated by the surging army of the undead, except for Calthor who was knocked unconscious by the baron at the last moment and thrown into the cellar to escape, and when he woke up, he saw the ghouls devouring corpses outside.

After listening to Calthor's words, everyone fell into deep thought, only Bai Steel did not know why.

Annu explained, "The bone dragon is a very powerful type of undead, and the necromancers who can summon these high-level undead are extremely powerful figures, and it is easy to not see them at all.

In the past, they didn't even have the interest to even take a look at a small place like Night Raven, let alone lead a group of low-level undead into a siege. ”

"Is it because the portal was attacked?"

"It's possible that the previous two expeditions were also resting in Night Raven Castle, most likely because of the retaliation they received."

…………………………

Although Calthor obviously didn't want to die at the Undead Portal, he also knew that it was impossible for him to survive in a field full of undead spirits without the expedition team alone, so no matter how reluctant he was, he could only follow the expedition, and his gaze at White Steel became more and more hateful.

It seems that Calso blames all the misfortunes that have befallen him on the head of the White Steel, but although the White Steel notices it, he does not say anything, only treats him as air.

Bai Gang thought very openly, the other party was scared into a nervous disorder, isn't it normal for a neurotic to be inexplicably hostile to someone? Do you still have to help neurosis correct the three views? He doesn't have that time to spare. Anyway, let him stare at the other party, if he really dares to shoot Bai Gang, he really dares to cut off his head.

With Calso, the head snake, leading the way, the expedition team was noticeably faster, took a shortcut, and arrived at the periphery of the undead portal the next afternoon.

Within two hours, they encountered two waves of patrols, but they were a combination of skeleton cavalry and skeleton soldiers, and they didn't have much combat effectiveness except to scare people, and the expeditionary team was wiped out with a single charge.

But the closer you get to the portal, the more undead patrols there are, and the more powerful they are. After encountering a patrol led by a mid-level undead, the expedition did not continue deeper.

The reason why this is done is naturally not because it can't be defeated, but because these undead patrols are led by middle-level undead. Naturally, it's not because you can't beat it, it's too late, the night battle undead have an advantage, and the mid-level undead will already call for help, one will accidentally knock out one and cause a bunch, or it is safer to continue the next day.

The expedition found a safe place to rest for the night, got up early the next morning and continued on its way, and if all went well, the portal would be visible in three to four hours.

But it is clear that the expedition's actions were far from smooth.

The expedition had been stopped for more than half an hour, and a group of people had gathered together to discuss something, and they were red-faced, but no one could convince anyone.

Bai Gang couldn't understand their words, and relying on the little bit of information revealed by Mage Annu's words was of little use at all.

When the group of people were almost arguing, and they all stared at each other and were silent, Bai Gang finally found an opportunity to drag the mage Annu out.

"What the hell were you talking about, why did you stop?"

Anu smiled bitterly and said, "Just now Rasu used the Eagle Eye Technique to scout, and he said that he found a very tricky vigilant magic tower in front. If we force our way through, we will definitely be discovered, but it is impossible to get around. These undead are simply insane! There is actually a ring of vigilant magic towers set up around the portal! Where did they get so many resources!? ”

"Vigilance Magic Tower ......"

Bai Gang took out the telescope to search, and sure enough, he saw a tower-like building more than three meters high, and a large red ** magic crystal was inlaid on the top of the tower, which should be the vigilance magic tower that Annu said.

"Are you talking about the thing that is about two people tall and has a large red crystal?"

Anu was surprised: "That's right, Rasu said the same thing!" How do you know? I didn't see you using Eagle Eye just now. ”

White Steel shrugged his shoulders and handed the binoculars in his hand to Annu.

"You can use this to see again."

Annu put the telescope on his eye suspiciously, following the example of Bai Gang, and then he was startled, and the telescope in his hand almost fell to the ground without holding it steadily.

Fortunately, he also knew how to use Eagle Eye Technique, and the scene he just saw was very similar to the effect of [Eagle Eye Technique], so he recovered quickly.

"Earl White, you have so many good things on you! This alchemy item of yours can actually block the magic fluctuations of the constant [Eagle Eye Technique], I have never seen anything so subtle! ”

Bai Gang laughed and said, "Of course you can't feel the magic fluctuations from it, because it didn't use magic in the first place. ”

"You didn't use magic but you did the effect of [Eagle Eye]!?" Annu smiled and shook her head, "Earl, you can really be joking, but this is not a good time to joke. ”

Bai Gang shrugged: "I know now is not the time to joke, so I am not joking." Many things don't necessarily have to be done with magic, and what we are best at in China is this kind of alchemy. ”
