Chapter 173: Netherworld
"What the hell was that just now?" Thinking of the four people just now, Leach was scared for a while. Even as an adventure hunter, he often deals with strange things, and this is the first time he has seen such a strange creature.
After confirming that Podosca's group would not be able to catch up for a while, Kumar explained, "Those are also frostwolf warriors, but they are a mutated existence. ”
"Could it be the Nether?" said Kumar, and Leach immediately knew what the four men were.
Frost wolves are one of the few magical beasts with extremely high fertility, and because their individual strength is not very strong, they generally gather together in large groups.
When the frost wolf gives birth to offspring, there is a very small probability of a mutation, which is generally called the Netherworld.
The Nether is covered in long hairs, so that it is impossible to recognize its original appearance, and due to the mutation, it is unable to use some of the skills that the frostwolf would otherwise have, and its physical fitness is extremely poor, basically the kind that will kill if it is hit hard.
However, since the Netherworld can be known to humans, it has its own set of skills to survive.
Because of its light body, the Netherworld moves very quickly, more than twice as fast as a normal frost wolf.
This alone is not enough to allow the Netherworld to survive in the harsh living environment, after all, there are still many demonic beasts that are faster than them.
What really acclimates them to life in the wild is their only skill, which is stealth.
For Warcraft, stealth is a skill that rarely appears, not because stealth is very rebellious and particularly difficult to evolve, but because stealth is too chicken for Warcraft, after all, they don't just rely on sight to find their prey, they can't see with their eyes, they also have a sense of smell and hearing.
But the stealth skill of the Netherworld is different from the general stealth, and the stealth skill of the Netherworld, in addition to hiding the body, can even block the smell together.
As for the sound, Nether's weight is so light that it's almost negligible.
What Leach didn't expect was that there would also be Netherworld among the Frostwolf Warriors.
Kumar glanced at Leach, who had revealed the answer in advance, and nodded, "That's right, the transformations of those four frostwolf warriors are indeed based on the Netherworld. Originally, I thought that Muhandil would not let them come to the land of trials to die, but I didn't expect it...... I was too careless, and I should have thought of this when we first found out that the tokens of those victims were missing!"
"It's not too late to know. Leach was reassured, and then asked, "Why did they come here to die?"
"Because the Nether Warrior has not only inherited the Netherworld's physique, which can almost be said to die at the touch of a touch, but even the stealth skills it relies on for survival have been greatly discounted. The stealth of the Nether Warrior can only last for a minute or two, not to mention, and once there is sunlight, it will also leave a shadow on the ground, in short, it is a very weak skill. If it weren't for the fact that our attention was drawn to that bastard in Podosca, we wouldn't have been hit at all. Don't talk about that, Leach, why did your sword fly out on its own just now, did you do it?"
Speaking of the black blade, the melancholy on Leach's face flashed: "I don't know, this sword is my family's ancestral, it seems to have undergone some changes recently, and I can't even be sure if it's a good thing or a bad thing to continue to carry it now......"
Because he was in a hurry and had to pay attention to the movement behind him at all times, Kumar didn't notice Leach's worries, and replied without thinking about it: "It must be a good thing, if it weren't for it, I'm afraid our token wouldn't be able to keep it!"
"How is that possible?" Leach's first reaction was that it was too, "If our family really has an artifact, do I still need to run out all day to be an adventure hunter?"
"But ......"
As Kumar was about to speak, Leach continued, "I know what you're trying to say. Indeed, it is rumored that there is indeed an artifact in the Holy Court, and that the artifact has autonomous consciousness, and some people even say that the artifact can communicate with people, almost no different from a normal human. However, these are just rumors, and there are a few people who have actually seen them, who knows how much of this information contains exaggerations? Take a step back and say, even if these are true, do you think this sword of mine will be an artifact? If nothing else, you can communicate with it first, and I'll take a look!"
"No, it's not, why are you so excited......" Kumar felt very inexplicable as Leach spoke in a higher tone.
"Well, it's nothing, I'm just a little anxious, now the most important thing for us is to run quickly, saying that these useless things are just a waste of energy. Realizing that his emotions were not right, Leach hurriedly found a casual reason to deal with it.
"Yes, it's not too late for us to get out of danger. ”
Seeing that Kumar had been successfully fooled and began to concentrate on his journey, Leach secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't notice a worried look on Saya behind him.
The reason why Leach has become a little emotionally unstable is not really to save energy.
In Wright's collection, Leach had seen ancient books devoted to the knowledge of weapons. On it, not only some information about the artifact is clearly recorded, but it also introduces another type of weapon that corresponds to it and is of the same rank: magic weapons.
The fact that the Holy Court possessed an artifact was indeed true, as Leach had confirmed from Wright. But what exactly that weapon was, except for the few people in the Holy Court who held the core secrets, no one knew at all.
However, those rumors from the outside world are true, because according to the ancient book, having independent consciousness is the most basic condition for a weapon to become an artifact, and some more advanced ones can even talk to people like ordinary people.
Magic weapons, on the other hand, also have autonomous consciousness, and unlike artifacts, magic weapons will have some bad effects on the user.
The light ones make the user become irritable as the time of use increases, and the heavy ones will be directly enslaved by the magic weapon and completely lose themselves.
The recent series of performances of the Black Blade made Leach have to think about it in terms of magic weapons, especially when he was controlled by the Black Blade and slaughtered the snake warriors that day, which is very similar to the sequelae caused by the use of magic weapons.
The thought of being enslaved by a weapon and becoming an unconscious walking corpse made Leach shudder, and it was understandable that his tone became agitated.
