Chapter Forty-Nine: The Lonely Hero (I)
Knowing that Carlos was seriously injured, Shen Yi hurried to the orc camp. He only hoped that Carlos's serious injury and dying was the soldier's temporary receptacle, after all, in the urban world, injury and death were two completely different concepts.
For adventurers and plot characters who have special bodies and recovery abilities, injuries often mean nothing. But on the other hand, incurable injuries do not necessarily do not exist, and the undead have precisely such abilities......
As soon as he thought of this, Shen Yi's heart fluttered.
When he came to the big tent, Shen Yi revealed his identity, and the soldiers guarding it immediately bowed respectfully: "Please come with me, Lord Carlos has been waiting for you for a long time!"
Shen Yi said: "Are you saying that the adults are fine?"
A trace of sadness appeared on the soldier's face, he shook his head but didn't answer, just took Shen Yi in, Shen Yi's heart was cold, knowing that he was afraid that the worst situation he expected had already appeared.
When he entered the tent, he saw Carlos lying on the bed, his face hazy with a faint black gas. If this black gas had substance, it had twisted into a grim reaper's face above Carlos, looming like smoke and mist. For some reason, Shen Yi felt a sense of déjà vu when he saw this scene, but he couldn't remember what it was.
At Carlos's side, there were several orcs, none other than Shadow Hunter Rock Khan and Minotaur Chief Baini. There was still a person standing next to Bai Ni, who turned out to be Chen Yuntao. In order to complete the inheritance task of the Minotaur Chieftain, this thing has been doing various tasks released by Bai Ni, and now he is a student of half of the Minotaur Chief, no wonder he can stand by Bai Ni's side.
It was clear that Carlos's injuries had also affected several orc leaders, and judging from the worries on their faces, it was clear that Carlos's injuries were not optimistic.
Seeing Shen Yi coming in, Lockhan nodded at him: "You are Shen Yi, our people have been looking for you for almost a day." ”
His tone was flat, but Shen Yi still heard a hint of dissatisfaction.
Rock Khan is the Shadow Hunter who completed the mission with the beast tamer Lexa in the Orc Campaign, the second protagonist of the Battle of Dolot, and Thrall's loyal subordinate, so he is the oldest in the current Orc camp, and his generation is a generation older than the supreme leader and the son of Chisar.
For his dissatisfaction, Shen Yi did not dare to ignore it.
He stepped forward and replied respectfully, "I have seen Lord Lockhan, Lord Baini, I just returned from the Frozen Throne, and I got the news a little late, please forgive me." ”
"The Frozen Throne?" Rock Khan and Baini were taken aback at the same time, "What are you doing when you go to the Frozen Throne?"
"Kill Arceth. Shen Yi replied.
This answer immediately surprised the two leaders.
Kill Arceth?What are you kidding, this is the big boss behind the scenes of the undead camp, a powerful person at the level of a demon god, and the young man in front of him can actually do this.
However, killing Arceth is obviously not fake, after all, the matter involved is too important, looking at Shen Yi's serious appearance, it is impossible to be joking, Bai Ni and Lockhan looked at each other, and they didn't know what to say for a while, even Chen Yuntao looked at Shen Yi in surprise.
Shen Yi was in no mood to pay attention to the thoughts of these people, he just explained the reason why he was late, and then looked at Carlos and asked, "How is Lord Carlos now?"
"It's bad. Lockhan cleaned up his mood and replied, "He has fallen under the dark curse of the undead......
Lockhan roughly explained what had happened to Shen Yi.
It turned out that as the soldier had said, Carlos had been attacked by the undead when he was patrolling the outpost in the morning. The sneak attackers were numerous, mainly the undead cavalry, led by the Nightmare Knight Burks.
In fact, with Carlos's strength, especially his skills of Swift Wind Walk and Mirror Clone, he can run even if he can't beat it. The problem is that Carlos is arrogant, thinking that he can't help himself with Berks alone, so he doesn't run away and fights hard with the other party.
However, he passed on the ability of the mirror clone to Shen Yi before, causing him to be temporarily unable to use this skill, which greatly reduced his strength, and as a result, he was seriously injured under the sudden attack of several hidden "very powerful undead soldiers like Shen Yi".
And what is really frightening is that at some point, Berks actually possessed the ability of dark transformation, and the real purpose of their raid on Carlos was not to kill him, but to transform him into an undead sword master in the undead camp.
"Dark transformation?" Hearing this term, Shen Yi blurted out.
He finally understood what had happened to Carlos.
It was the dark transformation he had seen from Arceth a few hours earlier!
It's just that Arceus's dark transformation is used on his own people, and it is completed instantaneously, and the image is not concrete, while Carlos's dark transformation is obviously still in the process.
The reason for this, according to Lockhan, was due to the fact that something suddenly happened to Berks during his dark transformation of Carlos, causing him to evacuate in a hurry.
Now it seems that it should be the death of Arces that led to the failure of Berks, and Shen Yi killed Arces invisibly saved Carlos' life.
However, it is only temporary.
Judging by the hazy black aura on Carlos's body, he was suffering immensely, resisting the dark corrosive forces from the undead camp. He hadn't become an undead Juggernaut yet, but if he continued like this, perhaps he would still be completely transformed eventually, and at that point, Carlos would truly die - a walking corpse of the undead.
This is undoubtedly a more painful thing for the hero than death.
After roughly speaking, Lockhan sighed: "I really didn't expect that Berks would also be able to transform the darkness of Arceus, you must know that this is an ability that Tavius does not have." ”
"I just didn't have it before, but I have it now. Shen Yi replied lightly: "Obviously, some things have changed, and some things are no longer under our control." ”
According to the information given to him by Lan Yan, the undead would not have issued an order to transform Carlos, and it was even more unlikely that Burks would have the Dark Transformation skill. There is undoubtedly only one reason why such a change has occurred, and that is Chen Yuntao.
Shen Yi looked at Chen Yuntao with a cold gaze, this guy obviously realized something, and bowed his head in his heart.
The unpredictable plot direction that the girl in white said is happening, subtly changing everything, and no one knows how it will end in the end.
The grumpy Minotaur Chief Whiteny had already paused heavily and said, "No matter what, I won't let Carlos become a devil! If there really is a day, I will kill him before disaster strikes!" The beast god blesses the tribe, and the heroic orc warrior would rather die than become a citizen of hell!"
"Gironno is already trying to save him, Baini, don't use your blood on your own people!"
"What will be used to save it?" Bai Ni roared unwillingly, "Sacrifice and prophecy?"
"Not a tomahawk anyway!" cried Lockhan.
At this time, Shen Yi suddenly said: "Murderous knives can sometimes be used to save people. ”
"What did you say?" Lockhan looked at Shen Yi in surprise.
Shen Yi had already replied, "Just a few hours ago, I saw Arceth's dark transformation, and I understand this ability. As long as the person who casts the spell is killed, the curse will be removed, and Lord Carlos will be saved. ”
"You mean......" Lockhan and Baini whispered at the same time, and at that moment they were shocked by Shen Yi's astonishing thoughts.
"Yes, kill Burks, that's the only way to go. ”
"You can't do that, Berks is back in the camp of the dead, he has a large army to protect him!" called Baini.
"We also have an army!"
"But we can't fight to the death with the undead because of this, that will only give humans and elves an advantage!" Even if he is as impulsive as a minotaur, Baini would not dare to pull the entire orc army to the point of fighting the undead because of this, the consequences of doing so would mean the weakening of the strength of the two camps, and let the humans and elves sit back and enjoy the benefits.
"Then I'll go on my own. ”
"You can't do that!" said Lockhan.
Shen Yi shrugged: "It won't be more difficult than killing Arceus." ”
Lockhan and Baini were at the same time.
Lockhan looked at Shen Yi: "You...... Really killed Arceus?"
Shen Yi flipped his wrist, and the Witch King's helmet appeared in his hand, and Lockhan and Bai Ni were shocked at the same time.
Shen Yi had already put away the Witch King's helmet and strode outside.
Chen Yuntao chased after him: "Shen Yi, I want to talk to you! What the hell is going on with Arceus, how did you do it......
Shen Yi kept walking: "I'm in a bad mood now, I don't want to talk to you!"
Chen Yuntao was angry.
He didn't know that Shen Yi had blamed Carlos for everything, and Carlos's status in Shen Yi's heart had actually reached a very high height invisibly. This is not only because Shen Yi needs to learn his skills from him, but also because Shen Yi also has a trace of affection for Carlos in these days of contact.
Although Carlos is just an NPC created by the city, this person is flesh and blood, with thoughts and memories, personality and dreams, and is no different from a real person. Even a dog will have feelings for a long time with humans, let alone a living person?
Carlos is like his teacher, teaching him, guiding him, helping him, you can interpret it as a reward for the task, but as we said, in addition to rules, there are also human feelings.
Shen Yi also has feelings for Carlos, although he has not yet risen to the highest level, but when he sees Carlos like this, he will definitely not feel good in his heart.
In this case, it is strange that he can give Chen Yuntao a good face.
Strode out of the orc camp, where the Broken Blades were waiting outside.
Shen Yi said quickly: "Hong Lang, give me the Witch King's glove, the ancestral sword and the black earthworm bracelet, Luo Hao, give me your guardian combat boots, gentle, give me your starlight necklace!"
The three of them instinctively obeyed the order to hand over the equipment, thinking that it was wrong, Hong Lang/ shouted: "Boss, what are you going to do here?"
"Kill Burks!" Shen Yi kept walking forward.
"Kill Burks?" the three of them froze for a moment, and then collectively reflected. The Flood Monster shouted, "Holy shit, you mean you want to break into the undead camp alone?"
"Yes. Shen Yi continued to walk, and the three of them ran behind.
Gentle hurriedly asked, "Like challenging Isado?"
"No, go to the door, kill Burks, and leave. ”
The three of them instinctively said, "Sounds pretty simple!" and then realized that something was wrong, and screamed together, "Are you crazy!?"
Shen Yi walked straight forward and ignored them.
Chu Sheng was walking on the other side, and as soon as he saw Shen Yi, he shouted: "Shen Yi, I was about to look for you, I said that the previous account, I didn't calculate it right, we have to recalculate......"
Shen Yi interrupted him: "Is the Witch King's armor still with you?"
Chu Sheng shook his head and instinctively replied: "It's here!"
"Lend me an hour. ”
"Small meaning. Chu Sheng generously took out the armor: "But what do you want to do?"
Shen Yi put away his armor as he walked, put on his helmet and gloves, and came to the outside of the camp and replied, "I'll go to Ash Valley to do something first, and then return your armor." ”
"No problem, but Shen Yi, it's nothing for you to borrow something between friends, but your brother still has to settle the account, I think we have to recalculate the previous account, you see, about gloves, I always feel that it is not right for you to compensate me 10,000 points, no matter what......"
Shen Yi had already summoned the bumblebee, sat in the bumblebee and said to Chu Sheng: "We will settle the account later, I will go and do the work first." ”
Saying that the hornet has been activated.
Chu Sheng ran after the car: "Hey, I said why are you in such a hurry to go to Ash Valley?"
Shen Yi ignored him and took out the intercom directly: "Is Lao Meng here?"
"Shen Yi, I was looking for you, I said this account is not right, we have to recalculate!"
"Okay, how about we meet and talk?"
"Where are you going to meet?"
"It's in the camp of the dead, you take me in. ”
"Okay, I'll wait for you at the outer road...... Wait, I said, why do you have to talk about it in the camp of the dead?"
"I like to smell corpses. Shen Yi turned off the intercom casually, and then waved his hand at Chu Sheng, who was still chattering outside the car: "We'll talk about it when I come back!"
Saying that, patting the bumblebee, the bumblebee suddenly accelerated, got rid of Chu Sheng and left.
Chu Sheng saw Shen Yi driving away, so he had no choice but to stop.
Thinking about it, he scolded: "Damn! Lao Tzu is coming to ask for an account, why didn't the account arrive and lent him the armor!"
He jumped to his feet at the back of the bumblebee and scolded: "Shen Yi, my ancestor, you eat people and don't spit out bones!"
