Chapter 276: The Coming of the Dead (Part I)
A little further outside of the city of Pikris, this area was originally a mine pit, but in recent years, due to the abandonment, the road has become rough and difficult, and no one wants to take this road anymore.
Wang mistakenly chose this mountain as the habitat of the insect swarm, also thinking about the reason why no one has ever entered this place.
The swarm multiplies quickly, perhaps on the illusion of the king's mistake, and the swarm seems to multiply faster when it comes to the human world than it does when it was in the wilderness. Is it because the living environment is better on the human side?
The distant sky was gray like haze.
It was the larvae of the thorn that were preying, but I didn't expect it to have given birth to so many, and the king who was close to the mountain noticed that the trees and vegetation in the entire mountain had died, replaced by loess and soil stained by the liquid secreted by the insect swarm, and in addition to the potholes everywhere, the black beetles kept coming out of it.
It's really a swarm of insects that cover the sky...... Wang Cuo saw a migratory bird flying in front of him, and he was still a few hundred meters away from the insect swarm in the sky, and he was instantly frightened and flew back, but only a few meters away, he was entangled in the thorny peak that followed behind.
The insects below came out, and after the migratory birds fell down, they only saw the black insect tide flooding, and then they couldn't see it.
hiss, the scalp is numb for a while, even if Wang Cuo, who has seen countless insect tides, will instinctively reject it every time he sees this kind of scene...... It is said that insects are creatures with special radio waves, and it feels like this is true, and so many spikes not only did not attack after seeing the form of the raven, but lined up in two rows, as if to welcome their arrival.
Descends to the ground and transforms into the form of a giant beetle.
The entire swarm quickly gave way to a clearing, one piled up on top of the other, covering several layers. After it spreads, it still leaves a puddle of water stains and the smell of insects, which is probably the liquid left by the mating of insects, which is really a leisurely guy.
"Where's Elise, let her come out to me. Said to the other bugs around him. The bugs in front of me arranged a line to pass on the news one by one.
Wang Cuo stood there and waited, waiting for a bulging hole to appear in the mound.
"Brother, why are you here? Didn't you say that if there is nothing particularly important, we will only use young spiders to pass it?" In the swarm, only she knows the identity of the other party's humans, so in the environment where communication is convenient, Elise tries her best not to let the insects disturb the people in the city as much as possible.
However, as there are more and more bugs, this situation is probably inevitable.
Andrea was the most eye-catching all around the city, and once asked Wang Cuo if he had ever seen a mosquito half the size of a man...... Bugs in the wilderness are usually more than ten times larger.
"Is there anything urgent going on?" said Elise, seeing that the king had not spoken.
"Elise, have you ever seen a necromancer? Elise originally lived in the Black Forest, and the king mistakenly remembered that when she first met the other party, her angry queen of poison had called herself a necromancer.
"Yes, when I was very young, the Black Forest was the domain of the Dark Lord Merlin. Occasionally, necromancers would come to visit, so I remember that they had a particularly unsettling smell on them. Elise recalled.
It would be nice to know the necromancer.
"Actually, there was a necromancer in the city during this time...... I want you to use the power of the swarm to help me find him. "Bugs are sensitive to breath, and if you use the swarm, you might be able to find the hidden necromancer.
"Is he dangerous to his brother?"
"Probably. ”
Elise nodded. "Alright then, I'll help my brother find him. ”
"Don't force it, just track down his location, this necromancer is probably different from what you've encountered before. Wang mistakenly put his pliers on the other man's shoulder, not wanting Elise to be in danger because of this.
After a few more pleasantries, Wang Cuo will go to the city...... The place Andrea arranged for herself is indeed the best shelter in the entire city, and it is a trap set by alchemists, and according to the other party, even a paladin at the level of a great lord will need a certain amount of time to pass through here.
When Wang returned to his room, it was already night.
The tavern downstairs has already delivered a hot meal, and it is said that because of his appearance today, the entire mercenary tavern is inquiring about his whereabouts...... There is a young archmage in the city of Pikris, who has never been heard of as a long-term resident of the city. Eventually, it was the little boy in the tavern who told him that he was a guest of Mr. Ral, and the discussion about the identity of the king gradually faded.
I didn't expect Andrea to be so prestigious in this area, as long as the adventurers who had a relationship with her didn't dare to ask again.
After eating, Wang Cuo felt tired and lay down in front of the bed.
The tea on the table was still the same as it was, no one touched it, and they didn't want to drink it...... The bread crumbs placed next to it are completely dry.
I closed my eyes and gradually calmed down.
A green fire ignited in the darkness.
"Who is it?" Wang Cuo's consciousness came back to his senses, but he couldn't see anything, and his body seemed to disappear.
Vision? or a dream?
"Are you looking for me too?" a cold voice sounded in the darkness with a hoarse voice.
It's as if you're restricted.,Advantage this feeling.。 It's the same when I saw Merlin Watts at that time, which means that the other party's ability is not below Merlin.
"You're looking for me, ......"
The dark flames gradually became two, and slowly changed until they became a pair of eyes. The emerald green one was staring at herself, as if she wanted to see through everything she had.
Wake up, wake up...... The king knew how to escape this illusion.
Once again, I want to connect my consciousness with the reincarnated minions in the distance, and when I open my eyes, I can return to my original body.
The windows were open, and the cold wind blew into the house, which made Wang feel that he was back in reality.
"You're amazing to be able to escape my illusion. The cold voice echoed in my ears again.
Hiss, I felt a chill down my spine.
And he ran out of the house, Andrea, the alchemist Andrea...... The king mistakenly opened the alchemist's door.
"Andrea, did you hear anything?"
The bed in front of him was still wrapped in a mosquito net, and the sleeping body of the other party could be vaguely seen. Awakened by his own voice.
"Run, run, I'm coming!" ......the voice still echoed in my ears.
No, I need to get out of here, out of this room.
Turned around and ran out.
Andrea in the mosquito net sat up in fright, and the back of Wang Cuo's escape could still be seen in the direction of the door.
