Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Storm Rises Again

The beast waves of the valley roared incessantly, unleashing the power of nature in a wild way, rushing downstream along the river, and the reindeer river gradually returned to its former calm. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

On the other side of the river, between the mottled shadows, suspicious people arrived one after another, but unfortunately, they witnessed the power of the beast wave enchantment of the guardian elven kingdom Elondale, and immediately dispelled the idea of adventurous.

In addition, the spies from different forces who were attacking the outposts, because of the contradictions between their organizations and the conflicts of interest, when they greeted each other face to face, they immediately put caution and vigilance in the first place.

No one dared to rush into trouble, and no one dared to try to cross the river, after all, the ranger organization from the sleeping forests of the north, the elite rangers of the "Night Mask", and the Horned Eagle Squad quietly disappeared across the river.

The elven kingdom of Elondell, shrouded in dark night, was originally confirmed by the information transmitted by the underground world as a huge ownerless ruin, but now in their eyes, it is a hungry and fierce beast.

Even the "Horned Eagles", which are quite famous in the Northern Adventurers' Guild and are composed of elite rangers, have now disappeared without knowing their whereabouts, and it is estimated that they have been swallowed by Elondale, and there are not even bones left.

Although this is not the case in the elven kingdom, there is no shortage of malicious conjectures among these people, but they are infinitely close to the truth.

The burial place where Lu Bin's "soul is bound" is speeding up the transformation of the remaining five forest ranger corpses, as thick as the essence of negative energy, constantly whipping their souls, and taking away the vitality of flesh and blood in the blink of an eye.

Zombies that have been given a second life are infused with deadly plagues, and these seeds use their bodies as a breeding ground to breed and multiply, and finally their souls are twisted by the power of death and transformed into undead creatures with the unique rules of the Buried Bones.

At dawn the next day, Lu Bin was awakened by a sudden whistle, and the thick drowsiness quickly faded like a tide, and he immediately secretly called for his loyal subordinates.

The wasteland howling wolf and eighteen rancid lone wolves, who were originally prostrate on the ground and burrowed into the thick pile of fallen leaves, now heard the silent command, and immediately shook their bodies and stood up, but did not shake off the dead leaves, but used this to "hide".

In the distant eastern sky, the light of the morning sun faintly reveals the faint whiteness of the fish's belly, the evergreen broad-leaved jungle separated by the hundred-pace-wide reindeer river, the veil of calm is shaken off by the crisp sound of the flute, and the white mist rising from the water vapor in the forest is torn apart by the adventurers who rush through.

Moder and Faich woke up at about the same time, and despite their lack of experience in surviving in the wild, they did not remove the protective spell barrier, but silently packed their bags and painted the unique mark of Master Mountbatten with the Arcane Mark.

Lu Bin vaguely saw the actions of the two mage apprentices across the reindeer river, and couldn't help but praise a few times in his heart, and found that they didn't make any moves, just stayed quietly in place, and completely let go of his worries.

He raised his eyes to look across the river, and in the sparse bushes, there were faintly more than a dozen waves of invaders from different forces and camps, most of them were traditional adventurer attire, but unfortunately they did not unite into a unified front, but kept a suitable safe distance from each other, and secretly laughed a few times, so they didn't pay much attention.

Lu Bin assessed the strength of the invaders according to the situation introduced by Moder on the way: "It seems that the invaders with deep power are actually a plate of scattered outlaws, and they are all delivering food...... No, they are good people who have come to deliver heads and equipment, and if they all die in Elondale and are handed over to the Buried Bones to devour and transform, it will further strengthen my summoned legion. ”

"Come, come, Greedy, eyes on the water of the moon well, without the road paved with flesh and bones, you will never be able to break through the obstacles to reach the moon well in the core area, without the wine of death and killing, you will never be able to taste the miraculous well water that heals your body and mind, and makes you sink away. ”

At the same time, His Royal Highness Tellant, the guardian of the ruins, who had awakened from his lonely throne, was peering through the water mirror locked in the deep mountains, peeking at the every move of his temporary allies in the territory, and found that he was not afraid and frightened by the numerous invaders on the other side of the river, but instead was eager to try, and the eager expression on his face was from the heart, and it was certainly not a trick to deceive.

"Lord Rez, who calls himself a wandering mage, must not know that I have a Vientiane Water Mirror that examines the Elven Kingdom, and as a young chick who has embarked on the path of a spellcaster, I am not a playmaker with a strong talent for the stage...... What kind of cards is he hiding to dare to ignore the many intruders that even give me a headache?"

Lu Bin didn't know anything about being spied on, he just estimated the water level of the Reindeer River, which had risen from below his knees yesterday to a waist-high position, so he nodded lightly with satisfaction.

With such an abundance of water, even if an incomplete river valley beast wave is summoned, it can kill all the invaders. The only thing to worry about is that those people will not be in unison, and they will definitely be tempted in waves.

"It's better to let a small number of outpost spies cross the river first, launch a group attack with rancid lone wolves, and then activate my only trump card four-star card so far when they call for help. ”

The ruins guardian seemed to hear Lu Bin's heart, maybe they all wanted to go together, and Telliant used his authority to suppress the beast wave enchantment of the Reindeer River.

The fourteen "adventurer teams" scattered on the other side of the river, the organizations they belong to all know the specific location of the elven kingdom from the information transmitted by the underground world, and the core area of Elondale has a more magical moon well water than the rumored effect, and send elite teams as close as possible.

Most of the members of the group, whose patience is directly proportional to their personal strength, look at each other unpleasantly, but few dare to show their intention to cross the river.

However, there are also people who want to take advantage of the opportunity to become famous, especially now that everyone is afraid to move, as the first to test the spearhead, no matter what the consequences, it will spread its reputation in the powerful adventurer guild in the north, the only thing to worry about is the good reputation of daring to be the first, or the shameful notoriety such as "not knowing whether to live or die".

As the late autumn sun leaps out of the horizon and generously casts warm sunlight on the misty jungle, a shortly formed team of adventurers, the Giant's Enemy, sends out strikers with special skills to cross the river.

At the same time, Lu Bin still stayed in the tree house and did not get up, but squinted at a young man dressed as a thief, quietly came out of the crowd, and when he came to the vicinity of the riverbank, he took out a pair of distinctive leather boots from his simple backpack.

In full view of everyone, the young man threw away the excess burden on his body, tied the trouser cuffs and cuffs tightly with strings, and after arranging his outfit, he carried only his usual dagger and turned back to the forehead of the leader.

The young man nodded in response with permission, and when he saw the mixed emotions in the eyes of the members of the nearby adventurer team, his heart suddenly became excited, and he turned his head to look at the reindeer river in front of him, took a deep breath, and jumped suddenly.

With a pop, a thief from the "Enemy of the Giants" plunged into the icy water, diving forward with his hands and feet, no less fast than walking on flat ground.

Lu Bin estimated that the river was a hundred paces wide, and this person would be able to reach the other side in about sixty breaths, although the young thief was the best in the intruder camp, and he couldn't help but praise him a few times.

"If an adventurer with full swimming skills dies in my hands and is devoured and transformed by the buried bones, I don't know if they can transform into special undead creatures, such as drowning people, water corpses and other river deaths. It might also be used as a combo card, merging the four-star card River Valley Beast Wave into a unique deck. ”

Lu Bin didn't want to use up two points of mana on a spy, so many intruders on the other side of the river, including the adventurers of the "Enemy of the Giants", watched this young thief with unique river-crossing skills dive directly to the other side of the river without risking his head to ventilate on the surface of the river.

The members of the union from the enemy of the giants immediately let out a cheer of victory, as if they had also successfully crossed the river, and such a harsh sound immediately aroused the displeasure of the experienced adventurers of the nearby Grand Guild. But they didn't say a word of nonsense, but immediately gathered people to discuss the "miracle" that had just happened under their noses.

Lu Bin looked at the first intruder to go ashore, shivering in the cold morning breeze to keep warm, and then quickly took off his water-soaked clothes, wrung them out vigorously and put them back on.

"Hmm...... It's hard work to have no spare clothes!"

Lu Bin didn't wait for the young thief to stretch out his hand to greet his partner on the other side of the river, and secretly gave the order to attack his summoned creatures, just to carry out the refueling tactic, he deliberately sent four rancid lone wolves.

With a "bang", the undead creatures hiding in the thick pile of dead leaves on the ground jumped out almost at the same time, revealing their fangs and claws that had been tempered by negative energy and become extremely sharp to the intruders who stepped on the territory of the elven kingdom.

Caught off guard, the young thief could only hold on to his usual dagger protection, and almost lost his body balance on the left and right blocks, so he could only roll on the spot to dodge, but when he struggled to get up and defended on the spot with his back against a towering ancient tree with a thick hug, the dead leaves under his feet suddenly burst out of hideous claws.

The Heart-piercing claws of the Wasteland Howling Wolf performed once again, and the trick that had been honed thousands of times before his death instantly tore through the harder leather armor that had become tougher after being soaked in water, piercing through the heart of the intruder.

"No!"

The thief, who had just reached the pinnacle of his life, was sent to the eternal sleeping valley by a simple order from Lu Bin in a blink of an eye.

The shadow of death instantly loomed over the promising young man, who looked in disbelief at the rotten hand that pierced his chest, and then saw the murderer whose true face was revealed after the fallen leaves were blown away by the wind.

The howling wolf of the wasteland grinned in tattered and leaky mouths, and the sharp fangs flowed down the cold air, a joke made by the Doom Lady to the dying thief.

"No ......"

With all his might, the young man let out a final howl, and the emotions of sadness and anger were like a tidal wave, startling the "inhabitants" of the elven kingdom of Elundelle.

Countless finches and birds, hula flapping their wings, leaving their unsafe abode, these little creatures with a keen sense of danger flew away from the paradise-like Elondell.

Lu Bin saw thousands of colorful wings whizzing in his field of vision, and the astonishing number made him puzzled, why he didn't see them last night, otherwise getting a few to barbecue would be able to soothe his stomach that had been tortured by dry food for many days.

On the other side of the river, the members of the Giant's Enemy saw the fierce battle that their partners had encountered after crossing the river, and including the leader, could not contain their excitement, and they all left their positions and rushed towards the reindeer river, which was still calm.

Many adventurers who advocated justice also wanted to follow suit, but they were suppressed by the core members of their respective teams, signaling them not to act rashly first.

Unexpectedly, the adventurer of the enemy of the giants, wading through the waist-deep reindeer river, did not trigger the beast wave enchantment shown by the intelligence.

"Could it be that you have crossed the river too many times and have exhausted the source of the Beast Wave Enchantment?"

"The Reindeer River is completely safe, we should organize people to cross the river as soon as possible, or someone else will take the lead. ”

......

Words such as these were immediately passed on in the ranks of adventurers who continued to wait and see, crossing the river at a certain risk, and becoming the mainstream of majority opinion.

The previously invisible undercurrent was surging and flowing, and although the voices of reason still existed, they could no longer suppress the scene.

As the situation progressed as Lu Bin had expected, he ordered the Wasteland Howler to lead his undead creatures to entangle the intruders who had come ashore one after another, and make sure that they did not gain a foothold safely.

With one less thief who is proficient in snorkeling, there are only five members of the Enemy of the Giants, and they can easily cope with the five undead. In particular, the Wasteland Howling Wolf, who seemed to be the most aggressive, was firmly restrained by the leader who was accustomed to wielding the mantis knife with a lower coil slash, and they still had a certain upper hand on the scene.

Lu Bin, who was hiding in the tree house, looked at the group of invaders who crossed the river safely with a cold face, and began to "wake up" the rancid lone wolf hiding in the pile of dead leaves one after another.

"Whew...... Whew"

One undead after another appeared in the field of view of the giant's enemies, and they began to feel stressed and panicked.

Especially the archer, who is not good at hand-to-hand combat, this adventurer in a brown turned-brim hat and a dark green camouflage burqa, is suppressed by two rancid lone wolves and retreats, and is about to fall into the endless reindeer river.

Lu Bin stared at the orphan chick who left the brigade, rubbing his shaved chin and shaving his head, and after a night, a short beard stubble appeared, and it felt good.

"Facing an unknown number of enemies, especially if you are in a trap and being hunted, jumping into the river is a smart choice, but without the tacit cooperation of your partner, you will only die the fastest. ”
