Chapter 158: Figure
"I didn't expect that today is my death. ā
Standing under a humanoid black boulder, looking at the gray clouds that pounced on her, Olivia swallowed the fiery red elixir in her hand and closed her eyes.
Beside her, the faces of dozens of mercenaries were already full of despair.
A quarter of an hour ago, Olivia and the others were at war with a dozen Abyss Demons. Unexpectedly, suddenly the mountain shook. Not only was it surrounded by black clouds of smoke falling from the basin, but the vision was even more distorted and blurred.
When their sight returned, they found that the Abyss Demon, which was still fierce and brutal, had fled in all directions as if they had seen a ghost.
Not only them, but in the depths of the silent stone forest, more demons emerged from nowhere and fled frantically. Many demons turned a blind eye to them, even as they passed by, and only ran wildly into the distance.
When many of the old mercenaries saw this, their hearts chuckled, and a terrible thought flashed through them.
Clouds!
Soon, this terrible guess was confirmed.
Although it is in the center of the stone forest, it is far away from the clouds. However, when the dark gray mist rose high like the tide of the sea, dyeing half of the sky gray, anyone who was not blind could see it.
The crowd panicked for a moment.
Originally, the best way was to find a nearby cave to take shelter and survive until the clouds passed. However, the route they took was lined with stone pillars along the way. The large one is 100 meters in diameter and towers into the sky, while the small one is only two or three people hugging each other.
These rocks are extremely hard, and there may be large and small cracks and gaps on them, which can be stuffed with a few rats, and where there is a cave that can hold dozens of people.
Under the fluctuation of people's hearts. Immediately, the team was divided.
Some people, led by Hoover, instinctively wanted to run backwards. After all, clouds come from the front and run back, at least you can prolong the time you have to be caught up by the clouds. If you can run to the cliff crevice when you enter the dark basin, you may be able to escape.
And the relatively calm Olivia. Alternative comments were made.
She believes that the environment of the stone forest is complex and strange, confusing to the mind. Along the way, almost every short distance you walk, you need to stop to find the direction. Now in a hurry, it's easy to get lost. Even if you run out, it doesn't necessarily be where you came from.
Rather than this, it is better to take a gamble and run sideways.
The area of the clouds can be large or small. The large ones can cover a radius of hundreds of kilometers. And the small ones. The radius is only a few kilometers or even hundreds of meters. If you run sideways, you may be able to break away from the clouds.
And when she came, Olivia had seen a huge rock mountain on the route of the Ice Star team. If you go over there, you might even hit a cave.
At the same time, the captains of each team of Olivia Jian yƬ took out the fire source pills and distributed them to everyone in case of emergency.
The Fire Source Pill is the only elixir for humans to deal with the abyssal poison clouds.
After taking Huoyuan Pills. As long as there is no drastic consumption, it can survive in the clouds for a prayer hour. Even if you run and fight fiercely. It can also last for ten minutes.
At a critical moment, a fire source pill may be a life.
No one noticed that at this time, Hoover's eyes on the side flickered, and the weather was uncertain.
And when Olivia and the others took out the fire source pill. Just as he was about to be assigned, Hoover suddenly shouted, "Run!"
Everyone was already tense in their nerves, and when this sound sounded, they immediately exploded and made a mess.
Some of these mercenaries who are not daring. It's more like a frightened herd of wild horses, no matter what happened, just scattering and fleeing.
"Stop, stop!"
When the captains finally managed to gather the crowd, they found that in the chaos, Hoover and his three henchmen had long since disappeared.
There were eleven Hoover Squad members. As soon as these four people disappeared, the remaining seven people were all red-eyed.
You must know that the price of Fire Source Pills is extremely expensive, and the quantity is scarce, so not everyone can afford to buy them.
Of course, ordinary team members would not spend a lot of money to buy a pill. Only if you are sure to explore the abyss, the mercenary captain will be responsible for the purchase. This is also the basic condition that he must recruit his companions. Otherwise, no one would want to accompany him to the abyss to die.
Of course, since the pill was expensive and not every time you entered the abyss, you would encounter clouds, so the Fire Source Pill would be kept by the captain himself.
The fire source pill of the Hoover team is on Hoover's body.
However, no one expected that Hoover would ignore the lives and deaths of these seven members of the team he recruited, and run away with three henchmen and all the fire source pills.
Idiots all know that one more Fire Source Pill has one more chance of survival. But for the sake of his own life, he pushed his companions into hell, and he was so despicable that he was a human being, which really made people angry to the extreme.
What's even worse is that the chaos Hoover created in order to escape not only wasted everyone's already little time to escape, but also led the team out of the original route and into an unfamiliar territory.
Seeing that the clouds were approaching step by step, in desperation, Olivia and the others could only rely on their memory and general sense of direction to run all the way.
It's a pity that blessings and misfortunes don't go alone.
This stone forest is like a labyrinth. Just now, step by step, everyone will not get lost. At this time, everyone was restless and flustered under the threat of clouds, and they ran so disregardively that they immediately lost their way.
Obviously, everyone took the direction of the clouds as a reference, and kept running sideways. But I don't know why, before I know it, they will go back to the same place.
Now, everyone has gone around this stone forest three times. And this giant-like, highly recognizable rock has appeared in front of their eyes for the third time.
Its existence is like a vicious curse that kills everyone's hope again and again.
The hourglass of time finally fell to the last one.
In the clearing of the stone forest, dozens of people were quiet. Everybody's face was dead.
On his side, the clouds like monstrous waves have come overwhelmingly. Those stone pillars, which looked like giant trees, gradually turned into shrunken black shadows, engulfed by the ever-expanding gray background, and finally. This piece of gray finally came over and swallowed everyone silently.
"Ahh He doesn't have a fire source pill, and he's not a knight with a warring. Under the erosion of the clouds, his magic shield did not hold up for even a minute. It's all gone.
The gray clouds corrode the magician's ** like poisonous water.
People saw that his skin was like melting snow, and his skin was like melting snow, and white smoke was emitting from his flesh.
In just a few seconds, he was already motionless. Eventually, all the flesh turned into a pool of evaporating blood and melted into the clouds. On the ground, all that was left was a twisted skeleton.
This tragic scene made everyone's eyes split.
"It seems. I'm going to go first. Ziggy said.
This scout with a strong and unruly personality was recruited by Hoover with great effort. It is also well-known in the mercenary world in the south. But now, along with the dead magician and five other knights, he was abandoned by Hoover.
Their battle rings are collapsing one after another in the clouds. When the fighting spirit is completely exhausted, that is, their death time has arrived.
The mercenaries were filled with grief and anger, and many of them couldn't bear to turn their heads.
"It's okay, it's my Ziggy eyes. Have only oneself to blame. Ziggy said calmly.
He turned his head to look at the other knights, who had also been abandoned by Hoover. There was a hint of sadness on his face. After a long time, he turned back to Hei Ling and said, "Brother, I want to ask you for something." ā
"You say!" said Black Feather's eyes flushed.
Although she had never worked together before, Black Feather had also heard the name of this senior scout who was about the same strength as herself. Plus this time, the two partnered as scouts and fought side by side all the way. It can be regarded as a friendship.
"If we are destined to die here, I didn't say it, but if you can survive......" Ziggy took a deep breath and gritted his teeth, "I must be taken out by today's events." Sue everyone, let that bastard be ruined!"
"No!" Surprisingly, Heiling shook her head and refused. He looked into Ziggy's eyes and said word by word: "If I see him again, I will definitely kill him for you with my own hands!"
As soon as his voice fell, the indignant voices of Olivia, Wood and others rang out all around.
"Count me in!"
"And me!"
With a soft snap, Ziggy's battle ring collapsed again. At the same time, the battle rings of several other knights also collapsed one after another.
However, no one cared. Six men stood side by side, knelt down on one leg, and gave a solemn knightly salute to the crowd.
When they looked up again, the six of them had red eyes.
At this scene, the mercenaries who only watched it were like knives. Olivia covered her mouth with her hands, and several female mercenaries in the crowd couldn't help crying.
A mercenary is a business that begs for a living with a head, and from the day he became a mercenary, everyone was ready to die one day.
No one thinks of their lives as precious.
In this hierarchical world, they are just a bunch of people who wander outside the mainstream class, and this is the price they pay for their freedom. They are not noble knights, nor are they soldiers, and their lives have nothing to do with glory, but they are just people dying for money, birds dying for food.
However, they can accept the most cruel death, but they cannot accept such a worthless death under the betrayal and betrayal of their peers.
And what's even more tragic is that although the others have the support of the Fire Source Pill, they don't live more than one prayer hour. If the clouds do not pass after a prayer hour, everyone will die.
On the contrary, it is a villain like Hoover who may survive.
Minutes and seconds passed. The battle ring of Zige and the others is also left with the last two. An atmosphere of sadness hangs over the people, and everyone waits for the last moments.
At this moment, suddenly, there was a sound by the stone pillar not far away.
The crowd turned their heads to look. In the next second, an unexpected figure had appeared in front of their eyes.
"Leo!" Olivia shouted in shock, as she stood up...... (To be continued......)
