Chapter 9: The Return of Stratholme
Eastern Plaguelands.
It was still so dark, gray, foul-smelling air, and a land that had been corrupted by the plague. Skeletons, carrion, ghosts, these undead creatures roam this land, the pure land of the undead.
Stepping on this land again, Lin Fei had an indescribable feeling, if he had to let Lin Fei describe it, it was kind.
Yes, it was such a terrible place of the undead, and Lin Fei actually felt unusually cordial and comfortable. For the other four contractors, though, the place wasn't so comfortable.
For them, any monster here will kill them.
At this moment, Daquan, Wang Mengmeng and the other two companions followed Lin Fei closely, keeping a safe distance, for fear that the monsters around them would come to the door. Their combat power had increased by an average of 20 points at the moment, and this was the result of Lin Fei giving some of the remaining 'Zombie Refined Meat' in his storage compartment to these four people. But this kind of ascension is obviously not enough in the Eastern Plague Lands.
A skeleton more than ten meters away can be said to be cannon fodder among the undead, but the opponent's combat power has also reached more than 150 points, and the four of them are hanging against the last one. As for the few zombies with a combat power of 190 points in the distance, they didn't even dare to look at them, for fear that these monsters would rush over.
Of course, these monsters didn't dare to rush over, although they didn't have autonomous consciousness, they could feel the death aura on Lin Fei's body.
The nature of the undead made them afraid to approach Lin Fei, so Lin Fei and the others did not encounter any trouble along the way, but arrived at Stratholme's back door safely.
Seeing the dilapidated city walls and the rusty iron gates, Wang Mengmeng and the four of them were stunned, and at this time, the orc warrior, whose name was Zheng Jun, whispered: "I know what place this is, Stratholme, the City of the Damned." Oh my God, this is Stratholme! ”
Before Zheng Jun became a contractor, he used to be an office worker, and his favorite pastime was playing games. He naturally knew very well about the well-known game in this mission world, so he recognized it at a glance.
In addition to Zheng Jun, the young priest named Xu Shaowen also recognized this place, but Daquan and Wang Mengmeng heard it in a fog, obviously not knowing what this 'Stratholme' was.
And wait until Zheng Jun and Xu Shaowen tell the origin and horror of 'Stratholme'. Daquan and Wang Mengmeng understood. It can be said that 'Stratholme' is a very important location in this quest world, symbolizing the fall of a holy king and the birth of another evil king.
"We won't say much about the plot and importance here, but we only need to be concerned about one thing, and that is that the monsters in here are five times or even ten times stronger than the ones that roam out there. That person wants to enter Stratholme, it's a death-seeking act! Zheng Jun saw Lin Fei slowly walking towards Stratholme's back door, but he whispered to his companion. There was a deep concern in his eyes.
"But this man is also very strong!" Wang Mengmeng glanced at Lin Fei's back and whispered.
"You don't understand how terrifying it is here, and tell you that the monsters roaming the Eastern Plague Lands can kill the twenty gnolls who are besieging us today with just one of them. And a monster in Stratholme, just pull out one, you can kill the twenty undead wandering outside, not to mention those high-level monsters in Stratholme, and even some commanders and Baron Rivendell. I bet. Although this guy who saved us is powerful, if he faces the monster in Stratholme, he will definitely not be able to eat and walk around! Zheng Jun said with a determined face. …,
Minotaur Daquan and Wang Mengmeng were stunned, if it is calculated like this, the monsters in Stratholme are afraid that only a few will be dispatched. can wipe out the crossroads camp entirely.
"If that's the case, we should have reminded that man that we can't watch him take risks!" Wang Mengmeng is going to walk over at this time. It's just that soon, she was pulled back by Zheng Jun and Xu Shaowen.
"Stupid, that man must be quite conceited about his own strength, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to pull us here, you think he would listen to you? If you provoke him, if he gets angry, then we are the ones who are unlucky. The two raised their concerns: "And this Stratholme's back door requires a key or advanced lockpicking skills to get in, do you think he can get in?" If he can't open the door, he won't be able to get in. ”
"Since that person is here, there must be a reason for him, and looking at him, it doesn't look like he doesn't know anything!" Daquan said at this time, as the eldest of the four, he still spoke with a lot of weight, and after a pause, he continued: "And at this time, we can only listen to him, but we should still remind him, at least let him know the danger of this Stratholme." ”
Since Daquan said so, Zheng Jun and Xu Shaowen also nodded in agreement.
It's just that they just walked behind Lin Fei, but they heard the sound of a metal door opening, and with a click, the heavy back door of Stratholme actually opened slowly.
"He actually opened it?"
Zheng Jun and Xu Shaowen were both surprised, originally the two of them thought that it was impossible for Lin Fei to open this door.
"Come in, Stratholme is as dangerous as you say, but for me, it's a dime a dime to do with danger!"
Lin Fei turned his head and said to the four people behind him.
Lin Fei listened to the conversation of the four of them. Indeed, in the eyes of ordinary contractors, Stratholme represents the land of absolute fear, where everything represents death, and anyone who comes near it will feel dangerous. But for Lin Fei, Stratholme represents a different meaning.
After Lin Fei finished speaking, he walked straight inside, and the four of them glanced at each other, and then they could only follow Lin Fei into Stratholme's back door tremblingly. After passing through the dilapidated gate and turning a few corners, the inner city of Stratholme can already be seen in front of you. And there, there is also an iron gate, through which you can see the unquenchable flames here, the ruins of the city, and the terrible undead.
The four of them were too weak, so under the power of this powerful undead, they felt like they were walking on thin ice, and their whole bodies seemed to be immersed in the cold river water, their muscles were tense, and their eyes looked around nervously, for fear of any negligence.
Lin Fei, on the other hand, seemed to have walked into the gate of his own house, and stepped forward to open the iron gate of the inner city.
At the same time, Lin Fei saw that in the shadows opposite, there was an 'Observation Eye', which was a kind of patrol of Stratholme, which could stealth and move fast. Generally speaking, anyone who invades Stratholme is basically invisible if they are spotted by this Eye of Observation.
Lin Fei smiled and didn't make any moves, and in the next second, this observation eye slowly disappeared and disappeared without a trace.
The Eye of Observation sees itself, which means that the undead in Stratholme know that he has returned.
"Be careful, be careful, we know you're powerful, but this is Stratholme, a forbidden place cursed by the Lich King, definitely not a place for jokes!" Zheng Jun said nervously at this time.
Really entering this legendary terrible place, Zheng Jun only felt that his legs and stomachs were turning, and Xu Shaowen also swallowed saliva again and again, holding the staff tightly in his hand. The appearance of the two of them also infected Daquan and Wang Mengmeng, and now these two people also feel that maybe it was a wrong decision to enter this Stratholme. …,
"It's too powerful, this is the town where the legendary character Lich King was slaughtered before his fall, the lair of the powerful death knight Baron Rivendell, no, we can't stay here, leave, leave quickly!"
In an instant, in the inner city of Stratholme, countless terrifying auras came out, countless undead were roaring, under this terrifying aura and sound, Zheng Jun and the four felt like they were like a boat in a raging storm, which could be submerged at any time.
Lin Fei, on the other hand, stood here quietly, and some of the brainless zombies and undead in the ruins just stayed far away, looking at Lin Fei vigilantly.
At this moment, there was a commotion in the inner city, and it was audible that it was the roar of some terrible monster. And as time went on, that roar continued, and it got closer.
"Run...... Run? Zheng Jun could feel the horror.
"It's too late!" Xu Shaowen stretched out his hand tremblingly and pointed ahead.
When the four of them looked at it, they were frightened, and in front of them, there was a large group of abhorres, the one headed by them was like a Roshan tank, and with every step, the earth would tremble.
"Yes...... Swallow...... Ramsden the Swallower, turned out to be this terrible abomination commander, how could it be here? Zheng Jun almost groaned, under that huge size and powerful momentum, he couldn't lift a little strength at all.
Although Daquan and Wang Mengmeng don't know what Ramsden the Swallower is, obviously, they are definitely a very powerful monster.
"What should I do?" Wang Mengmeng asked.
No one answered her.
Despite his size, Ramsden the Swallower was extremely fast, rushing at him almost instantly. It's just that next, the earth-shattering battle imagined by the four of them did not happen, and Ramsden, the swallower, actually let out a laugh and hugged the contractor in front of him.
Bang Dang!
The long sword in Zheng Jun's hand fell to the ground, and he felt as if he had seen a ghost.
The other three looked no better, they had thought of countless possibilities, but it was clear that what was happening in front of them was completely unexpected. (To be continued.)
