Volume 5 Paradise Lost Chapter 215 Warcraft
The nest of the crow flock is on a huge banyan tree, this banyan tree is at least thirty meters high, its lush branches hang down like a canopy, and occasionally the crow's sharp nails scratch the skin of the banyan tree and a viscous blood-like liquid drips, this banyan tree has demonized into something between a plant and an animal. 【Reading.com】
Richard had always wanted to destroy the banyan tree and the ghost crow on it, but without the prophet, he could not do it with the warriors in his hands alone, the ghost crow was more difficult to deal with than some monsters above them, and the banyan tree itself was not so easy to deal with, it was not much slower than the ghost crow swarm.
Tonight Richard and his team of six avoided the plague god, and these warriors just glanced at the place from afar that was full of bones, humans, animals, and monsters. In fact, in the thick fog of the night, they could not see any of this at all, only an extremely high black shadow, like a hairy human head.
"In the open space of the quarry in front, Rocky's army is stationed there, they have set up some magic traps, I am in front when you get closer, everyone be careful not to touch those abnormal things!" A faint glow of fire appeared in the darkness ahead, and some human voices fell into the ears along the cold wind. Richard knew that ahead was an abandoned quarry, where a demon lord had built a castle out of slaves a few months earlier, and that the demon lord had lost the war to become a superior demon, and that the quarry was now stationed where Rocky's army was stationed, and Richard knew the tunnels of that quarry very well.
Lodge's army was stationed in a large pit under the quarry, and through the firelight the tents and soldiers lying on the ground could be seen, several patrolling soldiers were hovering around the edge of the camp with torches, watching for any suspicious places, and several soldiers could be seen eating by the fire in the center of the camp.
"There, those monsters were pulled into there!" The veteran scout pointed to a cloth-enclosed part of the camp near the pit, which looked like a tent, but much larger than the tent where the soldiers slept, there was no fire, and the soldiers avoided sleeping nearby, and only a few guards approached it.
"There are not many soldiers on patrol, and the vigilance of the Rocky army is not high, but the concentration of magic elements in the dead corners of the patrol is very high, and there are many magic traps arranged there!" Richard pulled out a bottle and poured some white powdery substance on the ground, and the white powder immediately moved and changed color, and where it turned red, it meant danger, "We bypassed the patrols and these traps and walked through the mines, and I happened to know of a secret passage that the slaves in the quarry had dug in an attempt to escape. ”
The seven moved silently, and the fog obscured their movements. The cold stones on the ground gave Richard a feeling of both familiarity and strangeness, these stones were more terrifying to him than those demons when he first quarried, I don't know how many times my palms were blurred by the rubbing of these stones, I don't know how many slaves of his status were crushed to death by the stones he carried in extreme fatigue. Now the stone is no longer his fear, the stone itself has not changed, but he has changed.
Crushing a piece of gravel in his hand, Richard threw the lime on the ground. There have been no traces in the secret passage for a long time, the ground is covered with the feces of some small demonic plants and small demonic beasts, the passage always smells of foul odor, the sound of rustling in the dark makes them highly vigilant, many things in this world have to be fished up, one of them must be remembered, no monster is vegetarian, no matter how small and cute it looks. Therefore, even if there were only traces of some small demonic beasts in this tunnel, the seven of them did not dare to slack off, and they were on guard.
Maybe it was the instinct of the Warcraft animals, they felt that these people were not easy to mess with, and after the seven of them walked through the secret passage, none of the small Warcraft dared to take the initiative to attack them. Pushing through a thin stone wall, a secret passage leads to the pit, one left and one right, leading outward and deeper. The deeper part of the pit exuded an aura of danger, and if there was no threat entangled there, all seven of them sensed something, stared over for a while, and quickly moved outward.
Through the tunnel, the obscured place was in front of you. The dark and unknown mine itself represents danger, and the place where the monsters may be kept is also terrifying to the soldiers, and there are not even guards near the pit, let alone soldiers sleeping nearby.
"Hurry up and don't reveal your tracks, the sense of the monster is very keen, don't let them notice us!" Richard whispered a command, and the seven men scurried along the edge of the mine with their swords in hand toward the covered spot.
Quietly, Richard's seven people came to the outside of this huge tent, and Hodder took up his axe and cut a hole in the white cloth very quickly, and as soon as this hole was cut, the snoring sound of the monster came. The experienced scout walked first, and Richard walked in second and quickly entered. The tent was indeed a place where the monsters were kept, and the strong stench of the monsters made people faint, and the loud snoring sound they made when they slept was like a hundred women chattering around them.
The largest of this monster is about three zhang tall, and the average of the smaller ones is about three meters, this monster has the head of a lion, and two huge black palms grow from its back, and the spears on the palms are like the sharpest spears, even when they are curled up together while sleeping, it makes people feel cold. This beast was a very rare breed, and Richard had never seen them, which was why the experienced scout did not recognize them.
The seven of them tried their best to suppress their breathing in this group of monsters, Richard felt that the act of cutting the tent just now was still a bit rash, fortunately the monsters here were all sleeping, and the night was supposed to be the active period of the monsters, but maybe Rocky's prophet cast a spell for them, and these monsters fell into a deep sleep at will.
There were seven of them, the larger one and the other smaller ones six, and all six of them had something like a saddle on them, which showed their tameness. Richard took out the magic potion and recorded the appearance of the beasts, and then gestured to leave.
Hodder looked out of the cut tent for a while, then turned around and nodded, and walked out, nodding to mean safe, and there was no one to see outside. Richard was slightly relieved to see that the silence in Rocky's camp was still there, so far the midnight infiltration had gone well, and the ghost crow had already made a second call, which meant that the relatively safe time in the dark night had arrived, and the ghost crow should also fall into a deep sleep when he returned, and there should be no problem on the way back. This time, the number of monsters that were detected without paying any price should be said to be very kind.
Just as Richard thought this, the scout suddenly stopped, and suddenly a man came out of the shadows in the distance, and this man staggered out of the camp through the shadows, and no one could detect him in advance. This man was wearing old leather armor, and he should have drunk alcohol when he walked and swayed, but although he was a little confused, it was impossible for so many big living people not to see, and the moment he saw the person, the soldier's wine woke up.
The reaction of Hord opposite him was also extremely fast, the moment the person appeared, the axe in his hand was thrown over, Rocky's soldier grew his mouth almost at the same time, just at the moment when he wanted to scream, maybe it was just a moment of hesitation, seeing the axe flying head-on, the soldier knew that if he called it, he would be in two places, so this moment of hesitation The soldier made a decision, he did not scream, but opened his mouth wide and turned his body low to the left.
Hodder's axe was dodged by the Lodge soldier, who fell to the ground of the quarry, and two figures quickly swooped out behind Richard, and the knife landed in the temple of the Lodge soldier, and his brain was instantly shattered. Rocky's soldiers were unable to call for it in the end, and after the murder in the flash of lightning, the seven people were blown by the cold wind and cold sweat poured out of their bodies. Hodder took a closer look in the shadows to determine if there was anyone in the blind spot of vision, and after making sure that there was really no one, he picked up his axe, and while picking up his axe, Hodder's other hand turned over the corpse of the Rocky soldier on the ground.
The moment the corpse of the Rocky soldier was reversed, a strange feeling was born in the hearts of the seven people at the same time. At least five meters apart, what means can you use a cold weapon to kill an experienced soldier in an instant and make him unable to even scream in the event of a sudden encounter, the answer is that it is possible to do it very low. Otherwise, you can only do it when you are ambushed in advance and know when someone will come out. And is it possible for a physically strong soldier to die in a single fall? The seven people at the scene of this kind of incident would not have believed it before, but this happened to the Rocky soldier in front of him, his chest and abdomen were pierced by sharp stones, and he was already dead when Richard's warriors messed with his brain, and when the soldier threw himself to the left side to avoid Hodder's axe, he was stabbed in the heart by a stone on the ground the moment he landed, and the soldier was dead the moment he landed. This kind of fortuitous incident made everyone feel weird.
Originally, this was supposed to be an accident that would inevitably bring death, but now that the cold corpse of the Rocky soldier was lying there quietly, Richard suddenly remembered what Li Xian had said when they left Roseburg, maybe God was really on their side, "Move the corpse into the mine and throw it away, don't let people find out, let's get out of here!" ”
The bodies of the Rocky soldiers were thrown into the mine, the blood on the ground unrecognizable in the thick fog, and the seven quickly left the abandoned quarry. After an unknown amount of time, an eerie smoke appeared in the pit deep in the quarry, which enveloped the corpse of the Rocky soldier and disappeared, and everything returned to tranquility.
