Volume 7 The Alien and Adventurer Guild in the Forest Chapter 608 Blighted Canyon
Moses, the huntress who hit the target and shot it, lowered his longbow.
As a ranged vigil and sniper on the team, the cold-faced huntress has to take out as many enemies as possible from all enemies that come into sight.
"It's just a low-level skeleton, Nick, you go and get rid of it and let it rest in peace!"
Seeing that the target was a low-level undead that could be solved by ordinary people with a little care, Captain Huckley motioned for Nick to step forward and deal with the other party.
Nick lowered his body, and with a few deft steps, he jumped under the tree in front of him, and struck with a short blade, piercing the skeleton's skull in one fell swoop, allowing the soul fire inside to float out.
As the elite of adventurers, their team naturally knows how to deal with the undead in order to be able to deal with them once and for all!
However, the gray-robed mage who was an outsider of the team stepped forward and said: "As an undead creature, in this environment, it is impossible to completely destroy the skull, and the scattered soul fire will soon attach to other bones to form new undead creatures under the gathering of negative energy, and you need to purify their souls!"
As he spoke, he waved his hand and sprinkled a misty green light, and countless points of light shrouded the fluorescent cloud and decomposed into countless points of light that fell to the ground, and suddenly the grass and trees on the ground actually returned to their bright green color, and they were resisting the invasion of the negative energy aura around it!
The members of the adventure party all watched this scene in amazement, this ability did not seem very powerful, but as veteran adventurers, they could see how difficult it was to be able to do it at will.
Anyway, it was impossible for those low-level and mid-level mages they had come into contact with to do it!
Moreover, the power exerted by the gray-robed mage is very similar to the legendary force of nature. This kind of power is generally in the hands of the elves, and few humans can obtain it, is this an elven mage?
Haagli, who has been wandering around the south-central continent for many years, has also seen elves a few times, but he still doesn't know much about this relatively closed race. I only know that the general elves are kind and harmless, except for the black skins in the underground world!
Thinking of this, everyone was a lot more relieved, and their attitude towards this mysterious gray-robed mage was also a little closer!
And the gray-robed mage, who is Donald's Sage clone, doesn't care about the idea of the adventure team.
The general signs of the ash forest aroused his curiosity, and he continued to follow the team into the depths with the intention of exploring this forest.
As the team progressed, the low-level undead encountered on the way also increased. The fog also began to obscure their vision, taking a big toll on their progress.
At this time, several adventurers glanced at each other, and they were very glad that a mage could be added to the team, with the spell released by the mage to disperse the dense fog, they could at least ensure that the undead could be found in time when they appeared in sight, instead of advancing against the fog like before, and they should always be on guard against the approaching sneak attack of the undead, if it is not for the target of the mission they receive, they don't need to go too deep. I'm afraid there will be no return this time!
Now that the mage's spell has dispelled the fog around them, one of the biggest obstacles to exploring the Ash Forest has been solved, and maybe they'll be able to go a little deeper and get more!
A few adventurers had a good idea, but they didn't know that not all mages could do it!
Even if an ordinary mage is a silver powerhouse, it would be good to be able to hold up a spell effect of a distance of more than a dozen steps here. The reason why Donald was able to disperse the dense fog within a hundred feet of defense, and the pressure increased as they went deeper, the distance did not decrease, was because he added a trace of domain power to this dispel spell.
You must know that the environment here in the ash forest contains the power of the death realm, and it has a great suppressive effect on all the forces of the non-related realm. Only the higher-level True God Realm power can not be affected by suppression.
The members of the Haake Squad were only at the peak of bronze, and they couldn't detect such a strength that was multiple levels higher than them, so they just took it for granted and didn't think deeply.
If they could know more about the mage, they would know that they could do that. At least it will be a legendary mage, the ash forest is an existence that can make ordinary professionals regard it as a Jedi, and even in the depths there is an existence that makes legends and demigods feel feared, how can it be so easy to let a few people pass?
The reason why this time was much smoother than the last time they came was because the aura of Donald's natural realm made those low- and mid-level undead creatures fearful, so all they encountered along the way were undead creatures that had no time to hide and dodge, and the number was small and the level was low, so they couldn't pose a threat at all!
However, this situation did not last long. Because when you reach the depths of the Ash Forest, when you encounter those undead creatures with advanced or even legendary strength, you will regard the coercion of this foreign force as a provocation from the invaders, and you will swarm at that time!
So Donald didn't plan to take these adventurers with him, but planned to leave alone after they reached the target location of the mission.
Soon, the group unnoticed, under the covert protection of Donald, came to the target of their mission, the withered canyon.
Blighted Canyon is one of the main areas of the Ash Forest, and the fog has ended in the area near the canyon, but that doesn't mean it's not dangerous, but it's the place where adventurers have lost the most lives in history.
The scenery of the canyon looks as if everything is covered with a layer of gray cloth, and there are mostly low bushes and weeds in it, which are also gray colors, and very few other colors can be seen, which may often be some rare magic plants, and what can grow here is basically the precious alchemy potion materials that are valuable on the market!
This canyon is like a new heaven that divides the second half of the forest in two, and no one knows what lies in the depths of the canyon, and adventurers who have always been able to come back alive have to retreat after going dozens of miles at most. Or rather, escaped!
Because in that area, it is already a state of groups of undead creatures, and the powerful undead lords of all parties divide their territories and rule a region, not to mention those undead lords whose strength is basically above gold, that is, the large group of undead armies under their command, it is enough to bury most of the foreign powerhouses!
"Mr. Mage, our mission location has arrived, and now we have to start cleaning up the nearby environment and collecting mission items, there are several precious alchemy materials nearby. After we clean up, as long as we don't go too far, it's basically safe!"
Donald nodded and said, "In this case, it's time for us to break up, I need to go a little deeper, we have been very happy along the way, and in return for your lead, this puppet will be lent to you temporarily." It's enough to keep you out of this forest safely!"
As he spoke, Donald waved his hand and released a humanoid puppet made of smooth stone, the surface of this puppet body was covered with mysterious and mysterious patterns, the whole appeared vigorous and powerful, and the arms were positioned in the shape of a shield, which was the high-level structure that was originally obtained from the ruins of the Arcane Empire in the Two-legged Dragon Swamp - the Shield Guardian!
"Don't worry about it. After escorting you away, it will come and go with me automatically!"
With that, Donald turned to leave, seemingly walking slowly, but only a few breaths disappeared from the sight of the adventurer's team.
"Wait ......"
It wasn't until the gray-robed mage disappeared that the team leader reacted. I wanted to speak, but no one was there.
"Captain, what are we going to do?"
Scar Jason asked. What he meant was that the other companions understood that it was definitely a rare opportunity to meet such a strong person, and if he could follow him, wouldn't it be much better than the current life of doing tasks everywhere and living in a fixed place?
Huck thought for a moment. He sighed and said: "The strength of this mage is far beyond our reach, maybe it is a big man like the golden ** master, and it is already very lucky to be able to get acquainted with him! Even if we catch up now, it is just a trouble, let's hurry up and collect more precious materials, and then leave the forest to wait outside! Maybe we can see that master return!"
As he spoke, he picked up his weapon and cleared it up nearby.
The rest of the team followed suit, scattering in small areas, except for the huntress who was in charge of guarding in the center, everyone else began to clear the undead and other obstacles. While collecting the alchemy materials that are occasionally found.
The extraordinary-looking puppet followed them for about a hundred feet, and in fact they didn't have to do anything, and basically all the undead creatures they found were smashed to death by this puppet with a single fist.
Even if he encountered a silver-level corpse witch, it had already turned into a pile of pieces before the other party had time to issue a spell.
And the Soul Fire spell sent by the corpse witch hit the puppet but didn't even break the skin, it just bloomed a dark green spark and then it was gone!
It was only then that Harkli and the others realized the strength of this puppet.
You must know that it is very rare to encounter an undead creature with silver strength in their position, for their squad, if there is only one enemy, even if the silver undead creature is not particularly powerful, it can be slowly grinded to death, but there is no only one undead creature here, so it is already a very dangerous task for them to enter here!
What's more, there is also a silver corpse witch that often only appears in the depths of the withered canyon today!
If it weren't for this puppet, I'm afraid their team would have been reduced even if it wasn't all wiped out!
But even so, they couldn't imagine the true strength of this puppet structure.
After refining it from the new and adding some special techniques of the Babylonian god system, this shield guard has reached a level of strength that can hardly shake the legendary spell bombardment, even if it is a demigod powerhouse, it cannot be easily broken, although there is not much resistance to the body and the incarnation, but it is a very suitable guardian candidate for this clone.
If the members of the Haacrylic team learned about this, they would probably be even more surprised!
This puppet is probably the most powerful existence of true legendary strength they have seen other than Donald!
And Donald is only a sage clone here, strictly speaking, he is not a real legendary powerhouse!
(The second will be continued later!)!~!
