Chapter 60: The Eight Warriors of the Foggy Mountains
Under the dazzling light, a white pillar of light rushed towards the earth. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Rumble!
The trees shattered, the earth roared, the circular shockwave carried a devastating force, and everywhere it went, everything turned to dust.
It's simply a huge disaster,
The white mist is thick and the dust is everywhere,
When the light dissipated, a huge crater appeared in the center of the swamp, and the pit flickered with a strange firelight, which was the color of the white heat of the earth, and the Andleg worms that originally inhabited here turned directly into ashes, leaving no soul behind.
After the blow, John took a long breath, a hint of exhaustion between his eyebrows.
"Now, the movement should be big enough!"
He whispered to himself and landed in the middle of the crater, closing his eyes and recuperating.
The soul is a very strange energy body, and it seems to be connected to all aspects of the body, but this connection is sometimes just a one-sided conjecture and has no basis in the half.
For example, humans and ghouls, judging by their physique and strength, the latter must have an absolute advantage, but the strange thing is that the soul energy that a ghoul can extract after death is less than one-fifth of that of humans.
In other words, there is a 40% chance that you will not be able to extract soul energy when you kill a ghoul.
Not only ghouls, but also many dark creatures who are violent and savage by nature, are extremely strong in life, but after death, they are like useless garbage and cannot extract any soul energy.
After learning this information, John had to change his initial mind and give up the small ones and specialize in the big ones.
He was short on time now, he didn't have so much time to waste, old Conton was dying, the plantation needed the principal, and Memphis, the cigarette machine he had worked so hard to invent was still lost there, and Henry's kid was too immature to deal with the cigarette merchants who had been trying to buy the patent rights for the cigarette machine.
These were all troubles, but what worried John the most was what happened that day.
Ian McConn died at the hands of the wolf, who was still respectful to John before he opened the orb, and looked like a servant, but as soon as the orb was opened, he reverted to his original murderous nature and killed him.
After discovering this situation, John vaguely understood something,
It is likely that the mind control exerted by the mechanical orb has failed, and those who were previously affected by the orb have come to their senses, and they are out of control, just like the beasts that break out of their cages and naturally want revenge, and these vengeful enslaved people are not only enslaved by McConaughey father and son, but also those who are enslaved by their titular father, Mr. Condon.
Plantation Patrol Captain Hank, Conton Family Attorney Benjamin, Mississippi State Assemblyman Rothko......
These men have contributed significantly to the rise of the Condons, but now, they are all enemies.
The thought of these things helped to rise in John's heart with a sense of urgency.
Twelve days!
There were only twelve days, which was the maximum period he had deduced after careful consideration.
Twelve days later, no matter what the circumstances, he must return to Condon Manor in his normal form to face the "cronies of the family" who have become enemies after breaking free from control.
"What a disaster!"
John sighed slightly, gathered his wings, and waited quietly.
……
Two successive earth-shattering attacks completely shattered the calm atmosphere.
The strong light rushed straight into the sky, like a sharp blade piercing the sky, opening a gap in the dense fog, and the sunlight shone on the earth along the gap, like a rainbow connecting heaven and earth.
This magical scene attracted the eyes of all creatures within a radius of several kilometers, and after feeling the terrifying energy coming from inside, some chose to flee, and some chose to run this way.
This is a dark world and there is no need for light.
"Amy, look, what's that?"
In a remote place, a middle-aged man in a black power suit, a cane tucked into his waist, and a flying eagle pattern engraved on his sleeve pointed to a pillar of light in the distance and said,
Beside him, a pale, thin young woman coughed and said weakly,
"I don't know what's going on there, the energy fluctuations there are strong, it's not magic, it's not dark power, if you can, it's better to go over and see what's going on."
The middle-aged man hesitated in his eyes, obviously thinking differently,
"We still have a task ahead of us."
"Mission?" Amy had a miserable smile on her face, "A group of eight people, and six died before they even entered the Foggy Mountains, Jimmy, do you really think we can still complete the mission?" ”
Hearing this, the middle-aged man suddenly fell silent, his fists clenched, and his cheeks twitched uncontrollably,
They belong to a special force, codenamed Black Hawk, which was specially created by the government to deal with dark creatures, there are not many of them, they are all veterans of dealing with dark creatures, but after this war, there is nothing.
The troops suffered heavy losses, the number of losses reached as much as half,
"We should go over, the energy fluctuation there is very strong, almost a fight with that beast, maybe we can find a turnaround." Amy said in a deep voice,
"What about the mission, the chief has given a death order, and he must find out what is happening in the depths of the Foggy Mountains, and why dark creatures keep coming out of it." The middle-aged man said in an unwilling tone, he had walked more than half of the road, and now he gave up, and the six companions who had been broken before and after death died in vain.
Amy shook her head, pointed to her chest that was constantly oozing blood and even the bandages were stained red, and laughed miserably,
"Look at my current state, can you go on?"
"It's time for us to part." Amy smiled bitterly, looked up at the pillar of light in the distance, and her expression gradually calmed down, "This is already the periphery of the Foggy Mountains, without my drag, with your ability, you may be able to really walk into the Foggy Mountains,"
After a pause, she continued,
"Besides, didn't the chief say before I came, the meaning of our seven existences is to assist you with all our might, to ensure your safety as much as possible, all six of them died, but the weakest me survived, this kind of thing itself is wrong."
"You ......" The middle-aged man opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say, among the eight people, Amy was the youngest, and she was a girl, and they were elders, so they couldn't let a girl who was about the same age as their own child break off.
"Let's go, I've become a burden, and then you can only rely on yourself,
Come on, don't let us down. Amy smiled and raised her fist, then grabbed her own package, put on her cloak, and disappeared into the dark jungle like a mouse.
Looking at her disappearing figure, the middle-aged suddenly felt an indescribable discomfort in his heart,
Eight men, six dead,
No! It's already seven,
He let out a long sigh, took off his clothes, hissed from his mouth, his arms outstretched, gray feathers poking out of his skin, the bones in his body gurgling, his skin was dull, round black spots appeared, and his body changed rapidly, and in an instant he changed from a human to a huge Harpia.
The gray wings spread out, and with a gust of wind, the transformed Jimmy soared into the air and flew towards the depths of the Misty Mountains.
