Chapter 155: Gu Daoxing
The team began to move forward again, starting with Wang Xu, Nilou, Zana, and the new joiner, Adonis, followed by the old Warren, followed by thirty-six knights, and at the end were the "half-crippled men" carried by alchemical puppets.
The team is less than ten kilometers away from Hill City, and after this one-kilometer-long valley road, it will also arrive at the valley plain where Hill City is located, and it is estimated that it will take less than three hours for the team to walk under the hill where Hill City is located.
While continuing along the valley road between the two mountains, Wang Xu briefly told Adonis about the various strange things he encountered along the way, including the tomb of the demon Karl, the palace of the demon king Zagu, the appearance of the Styx tree spirit demon, and so on.
Of course, in the story told by Wang Xu to Adonis, the characters of the four Nilou girls were deliberately removed, because Wang Xu was not the kind of person who broke his mouth, and he did not intend to divulge any privacy of the four of them without their consent.
"Wow......" While listening to Wang Xu's story, Adonis shook his head slightly and sighed, "It is said in the epic that the reason why heroes can become heroes is because they have done deeds that are enough to go down in history and have experienced tribulations that mortals cannot go through in their eternal lives. ”
"Yes......" Wang Xu replied to Adonis noncommittally, of course Wang Xu understood the meaning of Adonis's words, he just wanted to tell himself, you have done what mortals can't do, and have experienced tribulations that mortals can't go through in their eternal lives, you have to remember that you are a hero, the same as those great men described in the epic.
Although Wang Xu had already understood what Adonis meant, but. What puzzled the king was what Adonis' motive and purpose were for saying these things. Did he want to pat himself on the back so he muttered a lot of words, or did he want to put a big hat on himself. Let yourself follow the heroic path he has set.
Anyway, Wang Xu felt that Adonis was definitely not just talking casually, as a wise man, he was probably calculating himself, and he had to be careful, because, don't look at Adonis as his slave, but he is the kind of person with moral purity. He has pursued moral beliefs that are in line with his values all his life, and even did not hesitate to betray the Elven King, who knows if he will do anything more to break people for his own beliefs.
"Do you want to be a hero, those heroes like the great men of ancient times?" Adonis turned his head to look at Wang Xu as he continued to move forward, and two expectant glances shot in his eyes.
"I don't want to, heh, heh......" Wang Xu squinted and followed him to the right. Adunis, who was much shorter than himself, said to him in his heart: "Hmph, save you, you want to bewitch me." Just you, how long has it been since I debuted, tens of thousands of years. It's only been a few hundred years since you debuted. At your level, you still want to manipulate my future. You're really amazing, if it weren't for the fact that you still have a little bit of intelligence, you would have been slaughtered and fed to the dogs.
"Why?" said Adonis paranoid again, and it seemed that he did not shed tears when he saw the coffin.
"I'm not interested!" Wang Xu shrugged his shoulders and replied insincerely, then bared his teeth and shook his head slightly.
"It's so simple!" Adonis never expected that Wang Xu's answer would be so simple, so simple that he didn't know how to respond.
"Uh-huh...... Wang Xu turned his head, raised his eyebrows at Adunis, and told him with his eyes: "It's that simple, if you don't have an interest, even if it's a great thing, I won't do it!"
"Cut ......" Nilou glanced at Adonis with disdain, and said coldly, "I advise you to give up telling him the stories of those heroes, he is not interested in letting him be the king of the elves, let alone what kind of heroes!"
"Hee......" Hearing Nilou's words, Zana chuckled quietly, laughing and shaking her head slightly, it was clear that she was quite supportive of Nilou's judgment.
"This ......" understood Nilou and Zana's attitude, Adonis groaned, and he wondered: I am not using the wrong way, I should not describe how great the hero is, should I not talk about how hateful the hero's enemies are, so that maybe Wang Xu will be angry and make him feel good about the hero.
Just as Adonis was about to change his strategy and start bewitching Wang Xu again, the team walked to the poisonous puddle that Wang Xu had dug up to plot against the enemy.
"......" Everyone gasped in amazement at the same time, everyone saw the scene in front of them for the first time, although all the traps were ambushed by Wang Xu, but he didn't think that the scene in front of him would be so miserable.
I saw that the poisonous pool in front of me, which was 30 meters wide and 200 meters long, was shrouded in a faint mist, and the pool was crowded with floating corpses, and it seemed that there were no less than a thousand corpses.
Since the snowy orcs in the poisonous pool were all poisoned, the floating corpses that should have shown pale green skin were all black corpses at this moment, as if they had been burned by charcoal, and they were completely blackened, and even their fangs leaking out of their mouths were soaked in the poisonous water.
Although they had only been dead for less than an hour, some of the corpses had already begun to decompose, perhaps because the venom in the poisonous pool was too strong, and some of the corpses were already half rotten, so around the poisonous pool, there was a faint smell of corpses, the smell was not very strong, but it was indeed very stinky.
What frightened everyone in the team was not the number of floating corpses, but the fact that most of these floating corpses retained their expressions and postures at the last moment before they died.
Some people looked panicked with their eyes glared and their mouths open, their arms raised and their teeth and claws open, some of them covered their necks and squinted their eyes with desperate expressions, some of them, the boss with their mouths open, as if they had howled before they died, and their upper bodies were still soaking in the shore of the poisonous pool, leaving deep scratches on the shore that they had scratched when they had struggled, and some people ......
"Woo......" Several knights couldn't stand the sight in front of them, and were ready to peel off their face towels and vomit.
"Knock, knock, knock ......", Wang Xu kicked the knights behind, and then roared: "The water is poisonous, you don't want to be poisoned like them, if you don't want to, don't act rashly, don't forget, in the ancient city of Atagan, there are already people who have been poisoned because they opened the face towel, you think carefully about what happened to them, and then think about your own stupidity!"
After listening to Wang Xu's words, the knights who were kicked over by Wang Xu shivered with palpitations, and then swallowed back the stomach acid that was about to be vomited.
"How do we get there, the water is poisonous?" asked Livka when Wang Xu returned to the front of the line.
Without thinking about it, Wang Xu replied to Livka in a low voice: "Easy to ......" (to be continued.) )
