Chapter 959: Infection
"Yes, the place here is too big, and there are so many branches like a labyrinth, like we come in to hunt, usually as short as two or three days, and as long as one or two months, so most adventurers will set up some temporary camps in some relatively empty places in the secret passages, and record the coordinates, and return to the camp to rest when necessary." Leinster explained.
Hearing this, Lin Yue felt that it was right, this secret passage that ran through the entire underground of the Salu Fortress was too big, even if Louis led the way, he had not seen the exit after walking for more than two hours, and Louis had also said that he had not been to the secret passage for a long time, and it was not so easy to find the exit in a short period of time if he encountered monsters along the way.
It seems that it is a bit difficult to get out of here as soon as possible.
Lin Yue helped his forehead, and finally agreed to let Leinster lead the way, and first put the unconscious Leon in the temporary camp they said.
"The monsters near the temporary camp have been cleared by other adventurers several times, so it will be safe around the camp, and everyone can rest there for a while."
According to Leinster's words, there was indeed not a single monster on the way to the makeshift camp, although a dark shadow could occasionally be seen in the distance, but by that time, the black shadow had disappeared.
After about half an hour, everyone finally came to the temporary camp, which was a relatively secluded place, the space was really spacious, and from a distance, you could see more than a dozen dilapidated but intact tents on the ground, and a magic oil lamp was hung outside each tent, which should usually be used by adventurers who entered the secret path to hunt.
After settling Leon down, Lin Yue looked at the time and found that it was time to go offline to eat, so he said to Lilith and them, and he went offline.
Go offline to fill your stomach, and by the way, tell Qinglu Nadeshiko that it will take some time before you can meet them, and explain to Lin Yue before going online again.
With a flash of white light, Lin Yue returned to the game, although it was less than an hour to eat a meal in reality, but three hours had passed in the game.
In order not to waste time, Lin Yue of course wanted to set off immediately, but as soon as he went online, he found that the magic oil lamps in the temporary camp had all been extinguished somehow, and they all fell to the ground and rubbed his eyes, and the surroundings became dark.
After getting used to the darkness a little, Lin Yue found that something was wrong, the people who were originally resting in the camp were gone!
"Where are they going?"
Lin Yue looked at it carefully, there were no people in the tent, it stands to reason, Lilith and they couldn't leave without waiting for him, could there be something unexpected in the middle.
Leaving the temporary camp, and not far along the road, Lin Yue saw a familiar thing on the ground, it was Siwell's wand, and his heart said that it was not good, if there was no accident, no one would lose his weapon.
Did something really happen?
Lin Yue pondered in his heart and sped up his pace and shuttled through the secret passage, but after running for a while, he found that he was lost, not to mention Siwell, now he couldn't find his way back to Lin Yue.
Just as Lin Yue was about to open the system map to see his location, there was a sudden sound of fierce fighting in front of him, Lin Yue hurriedly rushed up when he saw this, and quickly found someone in a relatively spacious open space around the corner.
"How are they?"
I thought I would find Lilith Sivir and them, but I didn't expect Lin Yue to find Leinster and the thief named Calais, what surprised Lin Yue the most was that the person who was fighting with the two was none other than Leon, who was unconscious before.
Leinster was carrying his weapon at this time to resist Leon's attack, and when he heard someone behind him, he immediately turned around, and when he saw clearly that it was Lin Yue, he immediately explained: "Don't get me wrong, this blood elf seems to have swallowed the blood of the lizard demon and is now rambling, we didn't think about hurting your companions." ”
In fact, even if Leinster didn't explain, Lin Yue could see that Leon's state was a little wrong.
Leon (Commander) - Infected: Level 77, HP: 157100, MP: 8940
Lin Yue noticed the information on Leon's head, not only did his name change to a red hostile state, but there was also an additional suffix of "infected" after his name, as a player, Lin Yue certainly knew that this thing could not be added for no reason, combined with Leonster's words just now, Leon was probably controlled by some kind of force.
"Damn, it's not a way to be beaten like this, you have to find a way to subdue him!" Calais tried to get close to Leon several times with a dagger in his hand, but failed, and on one occasion was stabbed in the chest by Leon's sword, and was almost killed.
Annoyed, Calais immediately used stealth to rush up again.
"Don't go near him! He doesn't recognize anyone now! ”
As soon as Leinster finished shouting, Leon had already moved in front of Calais with a charge, and his already tall body instantly appeared in front of him, and a pair of blood-red eyes under the black shadow emitted a faint light, and this sense of oppression alone made people chill.
But Calais is also a trained person, and he is angry at the moment, shrinking back, a layer of blood wrapped around the dagger, and stabbing the dagger mercilessly with a "whoosh".
"Overdrive Spike!"
The moment the dagger stabbed out, the blood formed several identical blades to accompany it, as if several sharp blades were stabbed at the same time, and blood splattered down Leon's chest.
Calais's success was not so much that the stab was accurate, but that Leon didn't dodge at all, and then Leon ignored the bleeding in his chest and grabbed Calais's neck with his hand.
Calais didn't expect Leon to be unafraid of his attack, and even resisted the sharp pain of the wound and immediately counterattacked, but he didn't have time to dodge being caught.
"Calais!"
Leinster rushed forward, and at this time it was no longer a question of how to subdue Leon, but how to protect himself. Seeing that Calais was in danger, he immediately charged, raising his greatsword and slashing in Leon's direction.
"Oooh!" Leon roared, his hand visibly straining, and only a "click" was heard, and Calais's head tilted weakly to one side, and the dagger slipped to the ground.
"Bastard!"
"Roaring !!!"
Leon responded to Leinster's roar by throwing Calais at Leinster with a flick of his hand, then kicked his legs and lunged at Leinster.
Calais's body was the first to shoot at him, too fast for Leinster to dodge or dodge. Leinster had no choice but to stop charging and reach out to catch Calais's body, and the impact shook his hands. As for Calais, his head was tilted to one side when he was caught, and his throat had been completely crushed.
"Calais!"
Leinster let out a low cry, ignoring his sadness, and immediately put down Calais's corpse and raised his greatsword in front of him.
"Bang!" The body of the giant sword shook in vain and made a strong impact sound, but it was Leon's fist that slammed the heavy giant sword, and his hand had broken upwards at 90 degrees, piercing out the bone spurs of the muscles. However, he didn't seem to feel the pain, and instead plunged the sword into Leinster's abdomen with his other hand.
Leinster let out a snort, gritted his teeth and picked up the greatsword in his hand with an oblique slash, and with a "poof", almost cutting off Leon's entire leg.
"Roaring !!!"
Leon, who had lost a leg, fell to his knees, but still looked at Leinster furiously. Leinster wanted to deal with Leon in one go, but the injury to his abdomen prevented him from wringing his weapon again, so he clutched his injured abdomen and staggered back a few steps, then fell to the ground as well, gasping for air.
It's just that in less than two minutes, the three people were left with only one Lin Yue in an instant, and the rest were killed and seriously injured.
Lin Yue helped his forehead and walked in front of Leon, Leinster gasped for breath and reminded, "Be careful, he has lost his mind." ”
Lin Yue shook his head and signaled that it didn't matter.
Leon lay on the ground and crawled towards Lin Yue, at this moment, he only had one hand and one leg left, which was more miserable than terrifying.
Lin Yue walked towards him slowly, his eyes kept roaming over his body, what was the thing that infected Leon, and it could actually make him look like this. In the blink of an eye, Leon was already at Lin Yue's feet, he struggled to grab Lin Yue with his hand, and was directly stepped on by Lin Yue with his foot, but his strength was still quite large.
Lin Yue noticed that his wounds were constantly healing, and although it would take a long time to restore the severed limb, it was indeed recovering himself little by little.
Lin Yue no longer hesitated, picked up the giant sword that originally belonged to Leinster on the ground, sent it forward with one hand, and inserted the sword directly from the top of Leon's head. Then there was a sharp spin, and there was a muffled "bang", and Leon's hideous-looking head was instantly crushed by the giant sword, and exploded like a watermelon.
A large amount of blood mixed with brain plasma splashed out, fortunately the blood did not splash too much, Lin Yue moved slightly to avoid it, and looked down to find that the blood had basically turned black at the moment.
Coming to Leinster's side, Lin Yue found a bottle of special healing potion from the system backpack and threw it beside him and asked, "What happened?" ”
Leinster said thank you, drank the healing potion, and said slowly, "We ran into the people of the 'Paradise Troupe', and they attacked the makeshift camp. ”
"Why did Ang suddenly go crazy? And, Lilith, what about them? ”
"Leon went crazy because he was infected with the magic barrier on the monsters in the secret passage, I guess, he should have accidentally touched the blood or saliva of those monsters, the monsters in this secret passage are different from the monsters in the wild, the blood in their bodies seems to have infiltrated some special substances and mutated, once it is stained with those blood, it is easy to make people lose their minds."
Hearing this, Lin Yue looked back at Ang's corpse, and sure enough, the blood he flowed out was all black, sticky as paste.
After drinking the healing potion, Leinster was unable to fully recover from his health as the player did, but the wound finally stopped bleeding.
After a simple bandage, Lin Yue decided to hurry up while he was still in good spirits, according to Leinster's description, they were separated after being attacked by the people of the "Paradise Group", except for Leon and Calais, Lilith and them were nowhere to be seen.
