Chapter 69: Bad News
"How's your leg?"
Picking up a few regular drops, Fei Jin came to Blue's side. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
"It's okay, it's okay. Blue spoke in a relaxed tone, not at all paying attention to it.
"Don't move. Vera held his foot and continued to clean the wound.
The corpse gatherer's grasp was obviously full of all his strength, not only scratching the skin of Blue's ankle, but also transporting venom into it.
β...... Are you really okay?"
Fei Jin squatted down slightly, expressing his suspicion, the black bruise around the wound was not normal no matter how you looked at it.
Seeing that the senior turned to him, Vera Tongshou said honestly: "It's really serious now, but I brought an antidote, and I will be cured soon." β
"That's good. β
Fei Jin was relieved a lot, and after turning around, his gaze returned to the corpse gatherer.
Normally, there is no reason for the Corpse Demon Clan to appear in the Monster Cave. Their requirements for the living environment, such as the humid climate and the large number of dead bones, are not met by the monster caves.
"Could it be the same as last time?"
Fei Jin thought about it, but he could only think of this for the time being.
Last time, it was because the High Priest was going to be the new owner of the Monster Cave, so what will it be this time?
"It's strange, the corpse demon shouldn't be in this kind of place......"
Leah looked at the parched earth around her, and was equally puzzled about it.
"Let's go, let's go back first!"
Fei Jin stared at the ground where the corpse monster broke through the ground, and suddenly had an ominous premonition, and immediately beckoned everyone to return to the city, and he didn't even have time to take the flame of life.
Several people walked in a hurry, and it was not until they were far away from the place of battle that Fei Jin slowed down a little.
Seeing that the situation was not as tense as before, Liya asked cautiously with a hint of uneasiness and curiosity, "Senior...... What did you find?"
Hearing this, several other people also pricked up their ears and expressed strong concern about this matter. The appearance of the corpse demon clan, although there is only one, does exude an unusual smell.
After all, they are students, from the twelve-year-old Enlightenment Academy to the present, there are related demon race courses every week, and in terms of familiarity, they are much deeper than Fei Jin.
β...... Not quite sure, just speculation at the moment. β
Fei Jin's face was rarely solemn, he didn't know if it was dazzling, there seemed to be other creatures under the surface of the corpse monster.
If it really exists, then it is likely to be the same kind, in other words, the appearance of the corpse demon clan is no accident.
But the strange thing is, why didn't the underground show up?
Fei Jin's heart was quickly calculating, constantly listing possible situations, but they were all overturned. There are so few clues that pointless speculation is pointless.
......
At night, the barracks of the city defense army.
After returning, Fei Jin immediately noticed that the atmosphere in the barracks was not quite right, and many people's faces were full of anxiety and panic.
When I came to the place where the mercenary group gathered, the atmosphere was slightly better, but there were still many people talking worriedly.
"Something happened. Dixie whispered.
"Hmm......" Fei Jin nodded slightly, carefully observing the situation around him.
Entering the barracks where the regiment commander and the others were, Fei Jin glanced around, but didn't find Uncle Kalu, so he asked someone: "Where is the deputy regiment commander?
The mercenary who was questioned hesitated slightly, and subconsciously glanced at Blue before answering.
The latter suddenly "chuckled" inwardly, held his breath, and nervously clenched his fists.
"The deputy head of the regiment came back, but he was seriously injured and is still in a coma, alas, ......"
After a sigh, the mercenary had a sad face, and briefly explained the reason for the incident.
In the search team, not only Deputy Commander Karui, but most of the members were wounded, and the city defense army even sacrificed two experienced soldiers.
It is understood that they were near the center of the monster cave when they encountered an attack by the corpse demon clan, and hundreds of corpse monsters suddenly came out of the ground, causing everyone to fall into a vicious battle.
In the end, most of those who escaped were infected by the toxin, and although their lives were fine, it took at least five to six days for them to regain their combat capability.
Such a result is undoubtedly a huge blow to everyone, and before the war starts, morale has already added a layer of gloom.
......
"It's a corpse demon again, damn it!"
Blue squeezed the words out between his teeth and fidgeted.
The faces of the others were heavy, and looking back, they couldn't help but feel a deep fear of what happened in the afternoon. If you don't go in time, you might fall into the predicament of being surrounded by corpses.
At this time, the regiment commander Alced walked over, and his red beard was unusually eye-catching.
Blue San stepped forward in two steps and said very sincerely: "Commander, can I go and see the eldest brother?"
"No, he's being treated, wait until tomorrow morning. Alside patted Blue on the shoulder.
The latter could only nod in frustration.
"I heard from you just now that you also encountered the corpse demon clan in the monster cave?"
Alced looked at the crowd and took a quick look.
"Well, we were lucky, we only ran into a fierce corpse gatherer. Fei Jin replied.
"Not bad. β
Alced looked pleased, then changed his words again, and said solemnly: "The monster cave is undergoing a change, you can stay in the town for the next few days." β
Fei Jin, Dixie and the others nodded one after another, even if Mr. Regiment Commander didn't say it, he had this idea.
Now the monster cave is different from the past, even Uncle Karui is injured and unconscious, how can Fei Jin take risks again.
At the same time, the mayor's mansion.
Mr. Woodlaw also received the news, and immediately ordered the butler to prepare the car, and accompanied by two attendants, rushed over as fast as he could.
That night, the city defense army camp seemed to be marked with a silence technique, and everyone's mood was heavy, and it was terrifyingly quiet compared to usual.
Outside the house, the night sky that was clear a moment ago, I don't know when a layer of dark clouds gathered, swallowing up a little starlight, at a glance, the wind and rain are coming.
......
In the single tent, Fei Jin sat cross-legged and opened the traveler's backpack. As always, he wants to count today's harvest.
The first is the mana, which adds a total of four points.
Then there are the various resources, each with fourteen ancient bronze coins, three packs of mana dry food, and two small healing potions.
There is only one piece of equipment, a one-handed sword of excellent quality, which is useless, and it should be used to enrich the warehouse.
In addition, Fei Jin also obtained a magic pill from the corpse gatherer.
"This should be the eighth...... Fei Jin glanced at the attributes, and he was not mistaken, it was indeed the eighth.
γYipin Magic Pillγ
Quality: Normal.
Attributes: Increases a little mana after consumption.
Usage limit: up to 1000 tablets (7/1000).
By the time you finish eating this one, the limit should be 8/1000.
"Hoo ......"
Finally, Fei Jin let out a long breath and took out the blue scroll with excitement. Between the palms of his hands, he couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly.
It was a moment he had been looking forward to all day.
