Chapter 43: The Trapped Death
The infected, who looked older, spoke, speaking a language that was mostly similar to that of the Blood Weapon Clan, so that Xu Yi, who had silently prepared the [Proficient Language] spell scroll, slowly put the scroll back.
The tip of the spear gently pierced into the skin on the back of the neck of the parasitic striped hyena, and with a slight stroke, the large fur in front of the entire spine of the hyena was sliced open, and a slender white long worm was singled out, struggling frantically, just looking at it made people feel chilling.
The tip of the Ash Flutter Subway spear pierced through the body of the worm with precision, and then turned a few small and subtle arcs to cut the worm in half. The shiny spearhead forged by fine iron was exposed, as if the blow just now had consumed some gray matter before revealing the edge. Correspondingly, the writhing insect body also lost its original activity.
He grabbed a handful of ashes from the bamboo basket around his waist, and wrapped the tip of the spear again in the shape of ashes.
The gray-haired, older-looking infected was noticeably quicker, and after dealing with the three parasitic hyenas, the younger one was still working on the second.
Raising his head slightly, the elder spoke again:
"Outsiders, wandering in the fog of the curse will not always be easy."
Jay didn't answer, he tried his best to think according to the other party's train of thought, took out the parasitic gray rabbit corpse, and he spoke: "Senior, why don't you see if this thing also has the eyeliner of the cleaner?" ”
Placing the body on the ground, he took two steps back, signaling that he had no ill intent.
"Jumpers, they're much easier to deal with than predators." The tip of the spear easily slit the back of the Grey Spotted Rabbit, and when no one could see it, the older infected person picked it lightly and slashed it heavily to the ground, accurately killing the insects parasitic on the corpse of the Grey Spotted Rabbit.
Silently watching the elder finish processing it with skillful techniques, Jay spoke again: "Can you tell me about the cursed mist, and, the cleaner?" ”
Maybe Jay asked too widely, but he didn't know where to start, and people didn't know where to start.
The elder's eyes under the mask were slightly raised, and he glanced at him, but instead directly recited a hoarse and low ballad in reply:
"In a land forgotten by the gods, the mighty tribes seek twisted powers, the weak are fed, and the strong are driven into madness. Ethnic confrontation, foreign enemies are fierce, and the successor dies in the entanglement and absurdity of reincarnation. ”
"Ah, can you tell us more about this cleaner?"
"The Cleaners are just a bunch of crazy people who are about to get out of control, and you helped me deal with five hunters before. It's not easy for me and Pum to deal with it, and as a thank you, I can take you back to the tribe, you can't stay here for long, or there will be minions of the cleaners coming over. ”
A little hurriedly waved his hand, he looked to the side: "Pum, hurry up, let's go back to the last pick-up point, take the prey and go back, today's hunt will not continue." ”
"Hmm." The young infected, known as Poum, muffled his voice, and the chance encounter with an outsider seemed to make him very reserved.
The older man, named Dart, was at the forefront of identifying the direction, and after a few times he found the point of contact he was talking about.
In fact, it was a reinforced tudon with an iron lid on it, and when the lid was opened, Dart took out two grey rabbits and began to double-check the next contact point.
Because of the need to identify the direction, the two infected people were also reluctant to get on the exaggerated iron bumps. In their opinion, it is better to use more metal to create more spearheads, and the spearheads they use are all hand-polished, flat, two-headed and short-sharp, and have the effect of chopping.
As a negotiator, Jay naturally didn't want to leave the two in front, so he accompanied him all the way.
Horchgris was also worthy of his 0.8 intelligence, dutiful, and as soon as he reached five hundred meters, he stopped the truck. In two stunned eyes, he vigorously anchored a metal stake, replaced it with copper wire, and ran back to the cab to restart the vehicle.
However, the astonishment turned to consternation, and the two infected people also saw that the other party seemed to be judging the direction in a way similar to the contact point, so they didn't care.
As the connection points approached, Dart stopped Hoshgris from continuing to anchor the metal pile, and after getting Xu Yi's acquiescence, he did not insist.
Xu Yi can understand, after all, not long after they met, the two infected people still have some concerns, and driving the metal pile to the door of someone's house is equivalent to completely determining the location of this tribe in the dense fog.
There was only the last part of the journey left, and Dart's movements slowed down significantly, as long as he didn't completely change direction, the gate of the wall could not be touched, and the wall could still be touched.
Jay also took the opportunity to come forward again to talk and investigate, before the two of them were vigilant around and at the same time had to judge the direction through some subtle traces, almost full attention, and he was inconvenient to disturb.
"I've heard you call this a forgotten place by the gods, have you ever heard of the god of the wasteland?"
"The god of the wasteland? A strange half-flesh, half-mechanical creature that would not be corrupted by the White Curse had broken into it before, but he had heard a similar name from his mouth, could it be that this god had noticed this cursed land? ”
Jay and the rest of the flesh thugs were wrapped in hazmat suits, and Dart and Pohm didn't find out who they were.
"God's eyes are always on the wasteland." Although Jay is not yet a priest, when it comes to faith, he has a hint of bishop's demeanor.
With this statement alone, his poor performance before can be completely ignored, and Xu Yi will definitely not treat him badly in the future.
Dart took off his mask, revealing for the first time his fair, wrinkled face. At this time, there was a hint of hope on his face: "May God protect this land." ”
The conversation was much more convenient, and according to Dart, the Cleaners were the people of Pallas, one of the two most powerful tribes in the Cursed Mist. It's just that the power of the curse in their bodies is close to getting out of control, so they are exiled by the tribe to the wilderness to deal with tribes of wanderers like them.
The so-called Jumpers and Predators are all "cursed beasts" controlled by the Cleaners. The flesh of these parasitic beasts is full of curse power, and eating it will only deepen the curse on one's body.
He had also touched the edge of the cursed fog where he could see the "light of the sky", but his ancestors had already tried to break free from the cursed fog - his whole body quickly failed and died.
The fog was like a dead place that could only enter but not exit, clung to the throat of any creature that dared to enter it. Inside the fog and outside the fog, one step away, but it seems to be two worlds!
In the mist, two simple wooden walls appeared, and in the middle was a somewhat dilapidated gate. The gate was obviously not enough for trucks to pass through, so the group had to get out of the car and enter on foot.
The fog was so thick that it seemed that there was no flow at all, and under this condensed white mist, the land seemed to gradually begin to show its hideous appearance......
