Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
After disposing of the soldiers who had not broken through, it was already nightfall, and it was summer, and the hungry bandit leaders simply ordered their men to camp on the spot, and by the way prepared to divide the pitiful items they had robbed.
This time the thieves were completely planted, and no one expected to run into the mercenary group of Red Thorn Flower, no matter how bold they were, no one dared to catch up, not to mention that they were all small strands of scattered sand converging together, and no one would be willing to be stupid to be someone else's stepping stone.
But because there were so few things that could be divided this time, even the broken weapons and torn armor, and even the dead riding beasts became the things that everyone grabbed and broke their heads, and they couldn't decide until late at night.
There is no way, relatively speaking, the loss this time is too great, especially the few small thieves who are dizzy because of the iron carriage, helplessly they also temporarily formed a large group in order to fight with a few slightly larger thieves, and the endless quarrels also made them gradually have a fire and posture.
But with the sound of a clattering hard object rubbing back to mind, a qiΔ became meaningless.
The thieves who often attack travelers have a special keen instinct for their surroundings, but this time it wasn't until they were surrounded by something that they became aware of the seriousness of the problem.
The dark woods suddenly became silent, and the thieves who had stopped arguing were shocked to see that there was no longer even the sound of insects, and the breeze blew, and the rustling of the leaves made the moment particularly gloomy.
Unable to stand the oppression, the thieves pretended to have the courage to pick up the burning branches of the fire and threw them into the darkness around them.
As the light of the fire cut through the darkness of the trees, white skeletons came into view, and they were not seen until the torches fell to the ground.
The faces of all the thieves have changed, the dark mages have long been spread by the Holy See, and have become the most real nightmare in people's hearts, and the necromancers among them have been blackened into devilish beings, and now they suddenly see a group of skeletons that can't see the edge at a glance, and they are all in horror without exception.
I don't know who was the first to lose control, but the thieves only heard someone shouting "Run", and they swarmed and ran wildly towards the only way to survive. No one thought about why the sheer number of skeletons surrounded them on three sides, rather than blocking them in front of them, or perhaps it seemed to the thieves that the skeletons that appeared from behind didn't have time to get in front of them.
The skeletons also ran along, but still in a neat formation, enclosing the thieves in the middle, fixing their escape directions, and from time to time they shot a few scattered arrows to drive the thieves in their footsteps.
Someone was obviously controlling them, but in this dark wood, no one would pay attention to that.
"Master, this ploy is really fantastic, I didn't expect this group of thieves to use it in such a way, no wonder even the powerful Holy See can't pose a threat to you. Behind the skeleton group, the city lord of Litt said admiringly.
"Hehe, it's just a worthless waste utilization, it's really nothing compared to the city lord's plan. He said this, but the black-robed mage's tone still revealed a little smugness, after all, everyone loves to listen to flattery. As for "the Holy See does not pose a threat", it is pure nonsense, but it is still very proud to be able to escape the pursuit of the first religious forces of the Big 6.
"Haha, where do I have a lot of money, don't I just want to find a good wife for my son who can't make it, and by the way, I will send some materials to you, the master. β
The black-robed mage didn't say anything more, this kind of mutual compliment was meaningless, but he knew very well in his heart that he could only take advantage of it this time, and the other party was the one who really gained a big profit.
Not to mention that the red thorn flower is a thorn in the side of a nobleman like him, even those soldiers who say that they are given to him are unstable factors, and the little girl that his son likes has a mysterious identity, and the little boy to be eliminated does not seem to be an ordinary person, plus the political achievements of the thieves gathered in the vicinity are really countless, and through the eye of the elements, the black-robed mage also saw the eight people who protected his son, unless he personally took action, Malcolm, the only factor that might make him a loser, was also eliminatedγ
The truth was similar to what the black-robed mage expected, but there was another thing he didn't expect, the lord of Litt also taught his son the tax money dedicated to the kingdom. If something happens, he can push it to the thieves, and then carry out the planned expansion of the army to suppress the bandits with great fanfare, if it is safely sent to the royal capital, his son's exploits will definitely not be able to escape, it can be described as a drip-tight plan.
However, the city lord of Litt also missed the fact that his son had just grown up a little, and he didn't really grow up, and he didn't know Sharon and Lu Chen.
Then the two of them followed behind the group of skeletons unhurriedly, and the black-robed mage turned all the corpses he saw along the way into skeleton warriors as he walked.
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
The food turmoil passed under Lu Chen's leadership, and everyone in the col had already fallen asleep except for the people who were on guard in rotation.
Due to his previous experience with caterpillars in the forest, Lu Chen really didn't like to sleep on the ground, and would rather sleep in the carriage when it was hot, and just meditated to see how he recovered. This time, after so many days, I still haven't felt the recovery of strength, and I feel a little anxious in my heart.
Zai carefully checked his body a few times, but it still didn't appear, but it just made his spirit even better, and Lu Chen, who had no choice, wanted to swallow the demon core a little confused.
But just as he was hesitating whether he could swallow this small piece of crystal with the magic core, Lori's voice suddenly came: "Idiot, you really think you are a monster." Your body is just out of elemental balance. β
"Hmm, you've finally woken up!" Listening to the voice of the little Lori, Lu Chen was very excited, and immediately replied excitedly, but his words were obviously referring to the fact that the little Lori was Alice, but the other party was very decisive and stopped making a sound. Obviously, regardless of the facts, little Lori doesn't seem willing to admit that she has something to do with Alice.
β...... Well, tell me, what the hell is going to do? Or how am I out of balance? After waiting for a long time, Lu Chen finally couldn't help it.
Maybe he was really afraid that Lu Chen would not be able to cultivate, Xiao Lori's voice sounded again after a while, and she seemed to be a little helpless: "I was too anxious last time...... It was supposed to be a loss of strength and a new start...... I don't know if you're lucky or bad, there happen to be a lot of four-series elements nearby, neutralizing the elemental rift you caused...... It's just that the gathered elements have nowhere to go, and then there is a resurgence of countershock, so you are affected...... Just like the three girls you healed later, they were all influenced by an element related to themselves...... However, you later recreated another form of balance in their bodies, which is a good way to do it, and it also strengthens their sensitivity to certain elements, but unfortunately they will only be able to use a single element in the future...... And your body is suppressed by the light element that exists alone, and you can't absorb the energy of the other four elements, so you must find the dark element to balance your body. β
After listening to the most explanation of Xiao Loli since he met him intermittently, Lu Chen's head was a little dizzy, although there were many things he didn't understand, but he understood his own problem. But then the question arises, where to find the dark element?
As if she could hear Lu Chen's heart, Xiao Lori didn't let Lu Chen worry, and continued, but the content made Lu Chen cold: "Don't think about it, the dark element is approaching, it seems to be a large group of undead, and now it's dark again, when the light element is greatly weakened, seize this opportunity to cultivate well." β
As soon as the word "undead" appeared, Lu Chen was a little stupid, and Xiao Lori's words were like adding fuel to the fire, when she met the undead in the dark night, it was still a large group, so ......
After listening to the last sentence that was a little ruthless and sarcastic, Lu Chen immediately quit meditation, and before he could run out of the carriage, he shouted at the top of his voice.
"What's wrong, Chenchen?" Sharon was the first to reflexively, the days in the forest had made her accustomed to before.
The red thorn flower also got up at the same time, but it didn't ask out loud like Sharon, but habitually looked around first, and then Verona and a few others got up and walked towards Lu Chen in confusion.
β...... The undead, there are a large number of undead approaching us. After getting out of the carriage, Lu Chen realized that he couldn't explain why he could know this, but he couldn't care so much at this time.
"What!, little Luci, aren't you having a nightmare, how can there be undead here?" asked Kelis, one of the captains, in disbelief.
Under the vigorous suppression of the Holy See, not to mention the entire Hills, at least in the human world, the dark mages have almost disappeared, not to mention the necromancers who have the greatest influence on ordinary people. If it's just one or two, it might be an accident, but a large group is too unreliable.
Although she didn't ask in detail for some reason, when she teased Malcolm and them before, Verona had learned Lu Chen's special "foresight" skills, and she had already fallen in love with Lu Chen in her heart, so she chose to believe him without hesitation, not to mention that there was no need to deceive people about this kind of thing.
"Don't worry about it so much, let's all sober ourselves up. Let's go to the entrance and exit first. With that, Verona took the lead towards the sentry.
Lu Chen hurriedly rushed up and asked in a low voice, "Is it possible to escape?" and picked the direction of Malcolm with his eyes, and his intention was self-evident.
"You're too bad, first a thief, then an undead, but I like it, you don't have to pay attention to people like him, but ......" rubbing Lu Chen's head like a big sister, Verona frowned and continued: "Although we haven't fought with the undead, everyone knows that they don't need to rest, and there is no chance of escape in the wilderness where there is no danger to defend. β
didn't care about Verona's movements, but her appearance made Lu Chen feel a little heartache.
She once said that she was the senior sister who graduated in the first three classes, and based on Sharon's age, she was only twenty-two years old, and such a girl should be the happiest time on earth, studying, falling in love, working, and spending money...... But now, she and her sisters have to face life and death, and the most feared of the dead, and they will be scarred by the scar that prevents them from looking up in front of the other girls.
"What's the matter? Don't worry, although you are our investor, but at the same time, you are also our employer on this mission, and you will never let the undead touch you, and maybe you really have a nightmare?" Now that Lu Chen seemed to have something on his mind, Verona thought that he was worried about the undead, and smiled and comforted him as a sister. But she didn't know that the more she smiled like this, the more uncomfortable it made Lu Chen's heart uncomfortable.
Without saying anything more, Lu Chen had a decision in his heart, at least this time, he was going to intervene in the battle of the Red Thorn Flower again.
Gently removed Verona's hand from his head, put it in the palm of his hand and held it tightly, ignoring the various eyes around him, and in turn led her firmly towards the entrance.
Little Lori's words must be true, and there will be no one other than herself within a radius of a hundred miles, so those undead are definitely coming for this side.
