Chapter 240: The Origin of the Apocalypse
"Several saints of the Apocalypse Sect are said to have the ability to obtain the 'Apocalypse' and see through the future. ”
Yue Mingxi saw Lu Chengfeng's speculation and revealed to him a piece of information that was not confidential within the Order: "Although no one knows what the Apocalypse is except for those Saint Rank Lords, the top level of the Sect did make the decision to stock up on specific herbs a few years ago. ”
"That's how the name of the Apocalypse Order came from......"
Listening to Yue Mingxi's words, Lu Chengfeng was thoughtful. At that moment, he vaguely thought of something, but he failed to grasp it, and soon forgot about it. Because he didn't particularly care, Lu Chengfeng didn't deliberately think about it, but shifted his attention back to the shallow analysis in front of him.
Ten minutes after the potion was distributed in Yuemingxi, the four of them walked out of the Afalia Pass along the hidden fork in the road. After exiting the gradually widening canyon, Lu Chengfeng looked out and saw the bushes and half-dried swamps at the end of the line.
This is the outermost part of the Fallen Spirit Clan's territory—the Land of Analysis!
From a distance, the place of analysis is no different from the past. But only after going deeper did I realize that the few Fallen Spirit Clan villages that originally lived in it had all turned into ghosts. Under the influence of plague and poison, many of the dead Eldar people were transformed into carrions. Some of the war beasts they domesticated on weekdays have also become dangerous ownerless killers. Although the three princes and the guards have cleaned up some of them, compared to the huge shallow analysis place, it is still not enough.
"How do we get there?"
If you want to be safe, follow the traces left by the three princes and search all the way. Of course, the biggest possibility of that is to return in vain and find nothing. If you want to find something useful, it's best to look for another way to dig deeper into the Place.
With a rough map of the Afalia camp, it's not impossible to find another way.
After discussing with Yuemingxi, Lu Chengfeng finally chose to enter from the southwestern corner of the Shallow Analysis Land. Because in this vicinity, there is a village of about one hundred and ten fallen spirits.
"Be careful, the air and the land here are already polluted. ”
Yue Mingxi is an exorcist of the Apocalypse Order, and his profession in this area is still very passable. Only a hundred meters deeper, her unclean detection found an anomaly. So, Lu Chengfeng, Zu Liang, and Yue Mingxi took the resistance potion that had been distributed a long time ago.
As for Mi Wei, she didn't need it.
After stepping into the Holy Order, the power of the Fighting God was enough to suppress everything around him. Even if the plague in the Land of Analysis was ten times stronger, it would never be possible to get close to her.
Thoroughly prepared, the four moved on. At this time, there was already a faint sweetness in the air, and there was a stench of rotting corpses. It may not smell like much suddenly, but if you are unguarded and breathe for a long time, you will feel dizzy and dizzy, and then you will fall into a severe coma.
"It smells terrible. ”
Yue Mingxi frowned and pulled out a broken talisman from the pocket on her waist. As the rune paper burned automatically, a purifying aura formed around the four of them, dissipating all the unclean aura in the air.
However, the aura of this holy power was particularly conspicuous in the lifeless place of shallow analysis. Just a few seconds later, through the faint mist and the fences of the Fallen Spirit villages, they saw several rotting corpses covered in high decay, with faint purple spots in places. On their bodies, they still have the costumes of the spirit race when they were alive, but now they have become out-and-out monsters!
"Purple spots?"
Seeing this feature, Yue Mingxi's heart was shocked. Among the symptoms of the Pretender virus are similar purple spots on the Eldars, and most of them are mushroom-shaped. Although it is unrealistic to conclude from this alone, and other characteristics are not right, this detail still makes her vigilant.
But it doesn't have to be true......
In the texts of the Apocalypse Order, Yuemingxi once saw the tragic situation of the Blood Moon Catastrophe seven hundred years ago. At that time, the clergy had been cornered several times by the pretenders. In the final battle of the Dark Holy War on the black land, the priests suffered heavy casualties, and there was not one in ten. One disaster like that is enough!
"Don't think about it so much, let's kill them first. ”
Lu Chengfeng glanced at Yue Mingxi, said hello to Zu Liang, and then rushed up side by side.
The strength of the carrion monsters is not very strong, even if they were fallen spirit clans in their lifetimes and have a certain bonus in their bodies, they are far from being the opponents of Lu Chengfeng and Zu Liang. What is really powerful about them is the plague and poison they are contaminated with. If you don't have the corresponding means of restraint, let alone being injured, even if you get close, you may be infected. Once this point is neutralized, they won't even be able to go through three moves under Lu Chengfeng!
Lu Chengfeng's sixth-order Infinite Frost Fighting Qi, after the increase of the Ice Flame Aurora Sword, was not a joke. The carrion monster that approached first was frozen into an ice sculpture by the Ice Blade Fluctuation Sword ten meters away.
The carrion monster behind him was clever and rushed over seven or eight meters away. Moreover, its arms also elongated strangely, and the original five fingers quickly expanded and opened, turning into terrifying suction claws. Once caught, unless there is a fighting armor to resist, the end is mostly a tragedy.
However, this abrupt attack was no threat in Lu Chengfeng's eyes.
The Ice Flame Aurora Sword slashed through the air with a silver light and shadow, slashing off the rotting monster's outstretched left arm with unimaginable sharpness. The fracture in the crook of the arm, there was still poisonous blood and pus flying out, but the moment the sword light fell, the power of the extreme cold froze the wound perfectly. Then, Lu Chengfeng flew up and kicked it back.
In front of the ** power of the sixth order, this carrion monster's body was directly deformed, and after landing, it could no longer get up.
Although he was not dead, after Yuemingxi took the time to make up a magic breaking talisman, the carrion monster was completely purified.
Perhaps attracted by the sound, in the next few minutes, other carrion monsters rushed over one after another. There are also some mutated ones that can control the bones of the original same race, but in front of Lu Chengfeng, it is still difficult to escape the fate of being frozen into ice slag. After stopping outside for a few minutes, and finding that there was no movement in the village, the four of them cautiously walked in.
Perhaps because there were no outsiders to disturb it, this village of the fallen spirit clan was still roughly the same as it was before the destruction. In view of the conservative atmosphere of the Fallen Spirit Clan, after a thousand years, Lu Chengfeng found that their architectural style had not changed much. Moreover, compared to the extravagant architecture of humans, the homes of these fallen spirits are as shabby as ever.
"Really...... Be careful!"
Lu Chengfeng was about to say something, but his perception suddenly noticed something unusual in the air on the right, and immediately shouted a warning. However, when he looked over, the position was blank and there was nothing.
"It's a ghost-like creature, right?"
Mi Wei had already discovered its existence, but she didn't make a sound because she hadn't approached it before.
The exorcist of Moonlight Creek is the nemesis of ghosts, and she once again drew out the prepared magic breaking talisman and waved it forward. Under the surge of glorious holy power, the ghost that was originally invisible suddenly let out a piercing wail and appeared from the sky. From the distorted and vague outline, it was vaguely clear that it should have been a woman of about forty years old before her death.
"It's not wrong, it's the ghost formed by the unjustly killed fallen spirits. ”
Yue Mingxi said, with one move with both hands, he played a strengthened thunder talisman that could only be mastered by the sixth order. As the purple thunder and lightning fell, the ghost's body stiffened violently, and it let out an even more terrible cry. Although she was not destroyed by the first blow, it was clear from the transparency of her body that she had been severely injured by the blow just now.
"It's a ...... who specializes in this."
Zu Liang nodded, very satisfied with the exorcist's ability to ward off evil spirits. Then, he made up a cannon. Under the bombardment of milky white thoughts, the ghost was simply blown to pieces.
After solving the danger, the four of them began to search the village.
Because it is aimless, this kind of search is not very efficient. Walking around, they didn't find any suspicious traces except for a few fish that slipped through the net.
"Looks like we'll have to keep searching. ”
After discussing a few words with Lu Chengfeng, Yuemingxi made a decision. However, before leaving, she dropped enough spells and shook off a fire to purify the place completely. After that, the four of them continued to find the depths of the place of analysis.
This time, the target of the attack changed.
In swampy environments, the types of ecology are inherently complex. Stimulated by the plague and poison, some demonic beasts that don't usually come out often have also emerged. For example, a gray spider that is half a human tall and weighs hundreds of pounds. This spider lives near the swamp water and feeds on small animals. Some were also domesticated by the Spirit Clan and used as combat helpers. But now, they have lost their restraint and have taken the initiative to attack the humans who pass by.
Because the concealment was too good, even Lu Chengfeng didn't feel anything unusual this time.
However, they were followed by a Holy Order!
For Mi Wei, as long as she wants, all the details in the Holy Rank Force Field can't hide her perception. Under her soft reminder, Zu Liang, who was targeted, quickly spotted the spider lurking in the bushes.
Sensing that it was exposed, the monster immediately manifested itself and spat out a cloud of white, corrosive spider silk aimed at Zu Liang's throat.
"Why did you find me? Do you think I'm delicious?" Zu Liang didn't take his attack to heart, and while complaining casually, he quickly responded. Before the spider silk could hit him, he summoned a lightning clone to block the attack. Then, Zu Liang struck a-for-tat wave of thought qi and launched a counterattack against the spider! Sensing the danger, the spider made a low, strange sound similar to the friction of leather. Then, with its long bouncing legs, it kicked hard, leaped high, and then launched a tumbling charge from the air in this direction!
