……

After activating the Plague Realm, Matthew's own resistance to plagues and toxins reached a new level.

The limited-time state of being riddled with illness itself provides him with some resistance.

So the green mist that spread rapidly on the street didn't bother Matthew much.

Meanwhile.

His summons are all undead.

Whether it is zombies or skeletons, they are natural carriers of negative energy, and negative energy itself is immune to negative effects such as toxins and plagues.

As a result, the spreading poisonous mist did not affect the stability of the Wall of the Undead.

But for others inside the Cross City.

These new toxic fogs pose a serious threat to their lives.

Most people experience the first time they encounter the green mist, and their skin will quickly fester.

And once you stay in a place with a thick fog, stay a little longer.

They will carry a withered curse on them.

The curse, and the poison fog itself, are not lethal.

But it will turn people into half-dead appearances.

Not only will these people deeply experience the feeling of the rapid withering of the flesh, but they will also become a new source of infection as they flee from place to place.

As observed by Matthew.

It is still quite difficult for these new infectious agents to have a second infection.

After all, the Blight Curse isn't that transmissible.

However, the plague or toxins they carry can spread quickly.

More and more people will be affected.

The Lotus of the Brooding Mother is also getting more and more feedback on her strength.

In this case.

The Blight Curse will also be further strengthened.

This is the real danger of plagues and toxins.

Compared to the current catastrophe in Cross City.

The plague field that Matthew felt in Zeshui City at the beginning was simply pediatric!

"It can be determined that the Lotus of the Nursery Mother has at least mastered the two fields of plague and toxin, and it is the strength of the senior or above."

Matthew's mood was a little solemn.

He observed.

Under the blessing of the realm and the stimulation of the green mist.

The blighters in quarantine became even more excited.

Under the organization of a group of small leaders who seemed to be sane, a large number of Blighted cultists gathered together and began to attack the defenses of the undead in an organized manner.

This time they were quite methodical.

Touched down three times in a row.

Xiao Boiling and Peggy are a little too busy.

The Undead Front on the street was almost poked out of a few holes!

"Peggy still doesn't know how to schedule......"

Matthew realized the key at a glance, the undead's front was too long, and the other party was also brainless before, so it was more than enough to guard.

But now the other side is starting to grow brains.

It will actually carry out a focused assault on several weak points.

That is, Peggy and Xiao Boil's personal strength is really strong, and they have to kill a large number of blighted cultists, otherwise the street would have been occupied by these people a long time ago.

Seeing that the blight cultists were gathering more and more on the street on the other side of the quarantine area, Matthew decided to take matters into his own hands.

"Xiao Boil, find a way to pull them all together!"

He quickly ordered.

Hearing this, Philorius lowered his huge head and thought for two seconds, then raised his head sharply and chanted a spell in a loud voice!

"This guy...... And what spell did you secretly learn behind my back? ”

As soon as I heard the syllables sung by Philorius.

Matthew realized that the bone dragon guy had mastered a new spell casting ability.

With his relatively weak spell discernment ability.

He guessed that Xiao Boiling was chanting a spell related to the gravitational field.

Seconds later, the answer was revealed.

Sure enough.

……

"Hint: Your companion Philorius (Ghost Bone Dragon/Undead King) has cast the fifth-order spell "Gravitational Tides"!"

……

In a flash.

A huge gravitational vortex appeared in the middle across the street.

A huge attraction tugs at everyone's bodies.

Not to mention the blighters in the quarantine.

Even some of the lighter skeletons and ghosts were almost sucked in!

In the blink of an eye.

Hundreds of blighters huddled together.

Seeing this, Matthew did not hesitate.

As soon as he raised his hand, it was a signature spell-

Deadly scissors!

When the aura of slowdown and silence lit up.

The fate of this group of witherers was already sealed.

Click, click!

Two symmetrical 20-meter-long scissors cut into the void.

Only the first pair of cuts is required.

All the Blighted cultists who were controlled by the gravitational vortex were cut in half!

Bang la blah.

Philorius canceled the gravitational vortex.

Their corpses suddenly fell to the ground like dumplings, crackling.

It didn't take long.

It turned into a mass of flesh and mud again!

"It's a good fit."

Matthew gave Philorius a thumbs up.

The latter bowed his head reservedly and straightened Matthew's trouser legs as if they were meeting for the first time.

This scene fell into Peggy's eyes.

She couldn't help but curse in a low voice:

"Cheap Dragon!"

Matthew's appreciation for Xiao Boiling is beyond words.

No way.

Who doesn't like a dedicated employee, who is always working hard in private, and who is especially loyal and loyal to come up with something new from time to time?

But lately, Matthew has been a little worried.

Ever since Xiao Fei became an immortal king, he had never asked for a soul crystal from himself.

According to the current trend.

Matthew seemed to be dispensable for Philorius, if you peel out the elements of the contract.

It doesn't seem to be difficult for Xiao Boiling to stand on his own.

This bothered Matthew a little.

"It seems that you can only play the emotional card more, or find him a wife?"

Think so.

His eyes as he looked at Xiao Boiling became much gentler.

But at this time.

Where the blighters fell.

A pitch-black portal quickly took shape, and heavy footsteps accompanied by a strong aura of negative energy rushed in.

Xiao Boiling and Peggy both subconsciously entered a state of alert.

But the next second.

They saw a heavily armored unit.

Judging by the style of heavy armor and the weapons he carried, he was supposed to be a knight, but for some reason, his mount was missing.

Matthew silently stared at the tall guy.

By the way, I glanced at the data bar.

……

"Hint: You killed 374 Blightculters with deadly scissors!

The special effect of the signature spell, "Lord of the Necromancy", is currently in effect.

You have earned a loyal Death Knight (LV18/Elite)"

……

"My name is 47 and I used to be a knight."

The Death Knight walked steadily up to Matthew, and a muffled voice came from under his cold visel:

"I don't know what day I lost my horse."

"If you can give me a horse, then I will be willing to serve you for the rest of my life."

A Death Knight who lost his horse?

Matthew thought to himself, why didn't his summon have a normal one?

He nodded and said:

"I'll try."

Immediately, his gaze searched both sides of the street.

Soon.

He found two horse corpses in a house that had been overthrown by the Blighters.

Matthew hadn't studied the necromancy of targeted bone horses, zombie horses, or ghost horses.

As a result, he can only try his luck with the generic version of Necromancy.

The next moment.

He began to chant.

A few seconds later.

Clouds of black mist rose from the two horse corpses in front of them.

The first carcass twitched, and then stopped moving.

The black fog disappeared with it.

Matthew shook his head.

Look at the second one.

The horse's corpse had been gnawed to pieces by the Blighted Cultists, and most of its flesh and blood had disappeared, leaving only the light bones.

And under the infiltration of negative energy.

These bones slowly reassembled, and they really staggered to their feet!

……

"Hint: You've successfully summoned a lame bone horse with necromancy (a universal spell)!

Lame Bone Horse (LV3): Due to some accidents, this bone horse likes to travel on three legs, so it's best to take precautions when riding it to minimize the number of falls."

……

It worked.

But it didn't work out completely.

Looking at the trembling bone horse in front of him, Matthew couldn't help but mutter:

"Can this thing be ridden?"

But now he couldn't find any other horse carcasses on the street, so he turned back to the Death Knight and said:

"Will you try this horse first?"

"I'll get you a good one when I get back!"

Unexpectedly, the Death Knight shook his head:

"No, he'll do it."

said.

He happily came to the Bone Horse and gently touched the Bone Horse's head.

The latter snorted, and a cold breath erupted from the bone horse's skull, nearly freezing the Death Knight's right hand.

However, this Death Knight also has high resistance.

Half a second later.

All ice cubes shattered.

He was still happily stroking the bony horse's head.

Gradually.

The bone horse let his guard down.

A pact was quickly concluded between the two.

"I finally have a horse!"

"Thank you for your gift, from now on, you are the master of Death Knight 47 and his companions, and I will always be loyal to you until I am old!"

The Death Knight kneels on one knee with his left hand clasped over his chest and swears allegiance to Matthew.

Matthew was also quite satisfied.

Another general has been added to the cemetery, and the effect of the Lord of the Necromancy is too strong!

It's a pity.

He still can't just put the deadly scissors spell around.

The countless enhancements that had been made before had made this spell almost perfect.

But in terms of mana consumption, it has not improved at all.

After entering the 4th tier.

Matthew's mana did not increase significantly.

In the final analysis, this is because the precipitation period is too short.

Normal mages at the third and fourth levels will use meditation techniques or special methods to train the growth of mana.

But Matthew didn't have that time.

As a result, his mana is not outstanding in his class.

Release the lethal scissors every time.

He will be consumed about 1/4 of his mana.

And the natural recovery of mana is quite slow, unless he becomes a kryptonite warrior like Margaret, under normal circumstances, he can release up to five deadly scissors a day.

And in reality.

Matthew obviously couldn't have squandered his mana.

He also had to free up an extra portion of his mana to maintain a staggering number of undead.

Therefore, at the time of the extermination of the blighters.

He still tries to use the Pale Hand with a lower cost, or simply let Peggy and Xiao Boiling kill them.

Anyway, the Blighted Cultists who died at the hands of the summons were also counted in the mission statistics.

"47 requests a mission from you!"

As soon as he became a member of the cemetery, the Death Knight couldn't wait to ask for his life.

Matthew also wanted to see the strength of the Death Knight.

So he pointed to the blighters on the other side of the street and said:

"We may eliminate as many cultists as possible, but don't injure civilians by mistake."

47 Decisive said:

"Understood!"

"I'm going to do it!"

The next second.

He hurried to the Bone Horse, and under Matthew's surprised gaze, Death Knight 47 took the Bone Horse on his shoulder, and then brazenly charged at the Blighted Cultists across the street!

Bonma looked at the Death Knight beneath him with a bewildered expression.

But I saw 47 take out a one-handed giant sword and wave it left and right with great bravery.

Wherever the greatsword went.

Several of the Blighters were cut in two.

That's it.

With a bone horse in his left hand and a giant sword in his right, he wiped out the new group of Blighted Cultists who had gathered together!

Seeing this, Matthew hurriedly leaned over:

"Uh, aren't you a death knight?"

47 Happily wiped the blood from his visel:

"yes."

Matthew was surprised:

"Shouldn't a knight be a man on a horse?"

47 And immediately he answered, saying,

"Normally, that's the case, but I personally have a different understanding of knights-

I like to put the horse on my shoulder.

This will make me feel more secure and help me to exert my extraordinary combat effectiveness.

It's a refreshing feeling.

Would you like to give it a try? ”

Matthew waved his hand.

He was about to say something more, but he saw another group of Blighted Cultists emerge from the quarantine area, and 47 carried the bone horse and killed them.

This guy is really brave in battle, as if he is invincible in the world with a horse in hand.

He single-handedly slaughtered among the hundreds of Blight Cultists, and was stunned to come and go seven in and seven out, killing all the Blight Cultists!

What's even more amazing.

He didn't seem to have any loss in himself.

On the contrary, only half of the bones on his body remained.

Matthew subconsciously glanced at the data bar.

……

"Hint: Your graveyard summon, Death Knight 47, has been updated with new ability information.

Invincible: When Death Knight 47 has a bone, zombie, or ghost horse, he can exert 150% combat power;

And when he doesn't have a horse by his side, he will fall into a weakened state and will only be able to exert 70% of his combat effectiveness.

In particular, 80% of the damage Death Knight 47 takes in battle will be borne by the horse he is carrying."

……

"I see......"

"If you look at it this way, this guy will be quite fermat in the future."

Matthew pondered.

Regardless, the addition of 47 also adds a strong player to Matthew's elite undead squad.

In the case that the Black Samurai Argus could not go out.

47 fills this point very well, although this guy will definitely be Ferma in the future, but compared to his strong combat power and frontal killing ability, this is nothing.

At least.

In the future, you don't need Matthew to become a moon bear to resist!

As the Death Knights continued to charge on the battlefield, the Blight Cultists near the Wall of the Undead were almost dead.

Matthew's quest "Self-Destruction" also fulfills the first condition.

All that comes up is to kill the Blight King.

He will be able to officially incarnate as a silver dragon!

The situation in the quarantine area is gradually stabilizing.

Matthew went to check in the other directions.

He flew into the air on a magic carpet.

Inside the Cross City, chaos continues.

On the one hand, from the overflowing Blight, Ailan's spatial sealing technique and Matthew's Wall of the Undead have blocked 80% of the Blighted Cultists.

But there are still some blighters who are rampage in other cities.

Fortunately, at this time, some forces in the city have begun to organize and fight against these brutal beasts.

Someone died at the claws of the blighters.

More people were given a respite.

But the pressure from death remains.

Therefore, the chaos has not been completely stopped.

On the other hand, there is the poisonous fog that is constantly spreading.

In the Cross City.

The appearance of the poisonous fog is irregular and rapid.

Matthew saw several people staggering out of the poisonous mist, and the skin on his body was no longer human.

There was a middle-aged man who was vomiting heavily, and before he knew it, he vomited out his stomach and gall bladder!

There was also an old woman rolling on the ground in pain, and she grabbed the itch of her skin with both hands uncontrollably, and soon scratched herself into a bloody person.

Similar scenes are constantly playing out in the places where the poisonous fog appears.

No one knows where the next batch of toxic fog will come from.

All were waiting in horror for the judgment of fate.

Outside the Holy Oak District.

A large number of residents gathered.

There were many people who tried to force their way through the protective barrier of sword and fire.

But in the process.

The constant damage and burning power of the sword soldiers drove most of them back!

Only a little boy broke through the protective barrier between knife and fire in the sound of crying.

Yet in the hopeful gaze of others.

A flame raged on the boy's body.

When he crossed the wall of oaks and the barrier of sword and fire.

He kept rolling on the ground, and soon the surface of his body became pitch black!

The miserable wails scared off those who were still trying to force their way through.

Right now.

Some animals appear on the wall of oak trees.

They all took on human form.

One of them cast a spell on the child, and the latter's fire vanished instantly.

"Take him to treatment."

The man commanded.

The rest of the people immediately took the child in their arms and walked deeper into the oak tree.

See this scene.

A new dawn has been lit in the hearts of the people outside the barrier.

They shouted:

"Let us in! That terrible poisonous fog is coming! ”

"Don't make us monsters, please!"

"Open the tree wall and let us in, you promised to protect us, but now you have abandoned the idea you have held on to for many years, you druids are not worthy to call themselves children of nature, nor worthy to call themselves messengers of peace!"

However, the man only glanced indifferently at the residents who were shouting outside.

Then it quickly turned into a crow and flew deeper into the woods.

Soon.

A group of blighters are attracted to the inhabitants of the area.

They quickly gathered around.

Confusion.

Spread again.

After 5 minutes.

When Matthew swept away all the blight cultists in the area with his pale hands, the inhabitants who had gathered here were nowhere to be found.

He glanced into the depths of the Sword and Fire Barrier.

Cross City is already in chaos like this.

But not a single member of the Druid Order came forward.

They may be in a bit of a struggle.

But Matthew was also deeply disappointed.

The Earth Association shouldn't be like this.

"Don't look, they won't open the Oak Wall."

A familiar voice sounded behind him.

Matthew looked back.

There was a black fox lying on the eaves not far away!

"Will you transform into the wilderness?"

Matthew looked at each other in surprise.

The black fox said proudly:

"The way of the wilderness is not exclusive to the druids, and can't the blighted also turn into all kinds of animals? If you're surprised by that, all I can say is that Lord Eucruz has given me more than that. ”

Matthew nodded slightly.

In his perception, the black fox that Mary Joya had transformed into was indeed the same as the druid's wilderness form.

You know, with his natural affinity, it's hard to misjudge in terms of wilderness form.

This shows that the power of the Void Lord is indeed beyond imagination.

"Listen, I'm just looking for you to say three things."

Mary Joy's voice was fast:

"First, the Blight Order has started its operation ahead of time without informing us, and they have deployed plague and toxin fields in Cross City.

And the initiator of all this, the true body behind the Lotus of the Nursery, is actually the god of Icanos the Ruined, a "plague angel" named Marconi.

This angel has a strength close to legend, and most importantly, she has unfathomable authority in related fields.

If you want to deal with her, I'm afraid it will take a bit of effort.

Second, all the actions of the Plague Angels and the Blight Order are to force the Earth Society to open its doors.

As soon as the Druid Order opens its doors, the general attack of the three major organizations will immediately begin, and the Scourge Order will also intervene.

I'll try to procrastinate, but not too obviously, and you should be able to understand my situation.

So the cooperation between you and me must be as soon as possible!

Thirdly, the queen of the whalers has entered the city, and she lurks in the shadows.

We're still not entirely sure of her purpose, so be careful. ”

That's all that is said and done.

The black fox turned his head and left:

"I'm going to withdraw everyone to the underground stronghold now, good luck."

Matthew nodded in thanks to Mary Joa.

The latter did not stay and quickly disappeared.

"If Mary Joya wasn't lying, then the crux of this disaster in Cross City lies in the Lotus of the Nursery, or the Angel of the Plague."

"Gotta find out where she is!"

Matthew's brow furrowed.

Finding people isn't what he's good at – "asking about nature" doesn't work in the chaotic urban environment of the moment.

The current Cross City is too noisy.

It was difficult for the spirits of nature, who were weak in spirit, to make enough noise for Matthew to hear them.

So he plans to go to Lady Ellen in the Winter's Moon.

The latter, after performing the Space Sealing Technique, has been searching for the true location of the Nursery's Lotus.

Matthew flew up to the sky and searched for a while, but there was no trace of Ailan.

At this time, most of the Cross City was shrouded in yellow and green mist.

Visibility is low on all sides.

Consider that there are all kinds of enemies lurking in the city.

Matthew didn't dare to wave either.

He searched for Ai Lan for a while, and then returned to the Immortal Street.

Not for a while.

Ai Lan's figure appeared at the end of the street.

At this moment, the half-elf mage looked a little embarrassed, and she was blessed with several spell auras, which should be used to resist the invasion of toxins and plagues.

But nevertheless.

She was still in a worrisome state - there were a lot of pimples on her originally fair skin.

Worse.

There was a slight ulceration on her wrist.

Matthew threw her a protective against evil.

But that doesn't directly clear her infection.

Matthew tried to treat her for a minor injury, but was stopped by Ellen:

"This little reaction on my body is insignificant, just go back and purify it."

"But the disaster in Cross City is the most heart-wrenching, I just seem to have found the true location of the Broodmother Lotus, can you go with me to take a look?"

Matthew didn't refuse.

The two left the street and traveled half a block to a wooden house in the Wolverine district.

"That's it."

In a thick green mist, Ai Lan pointed to the bare black hole in front of a wooden house and said:

"I've found a lot of similar holes in the neighborhood, and these holes are supposed to be connected to the underground space, and the flesh that we saw before actually came from here, but the Mother Nursery's Lotus used illusion to make the Blight Cultists look like they were spewing out of the lotus."

"I wanted to go down and see the situation alone, but I have a slight claustrophobia, and as a half-elf, I naturally hate the underground, so I ......"

She glanced at Matthew apologetically.

Matthew clapped his hands unconcernedly:

"It's okay, I'm here."

The next moment.

He came to the mouth of the cave, pointed to the depths of the hole, and said:

"Ah Bing, go down and explore the way."

The knife dancer immediately stepped forward and jumped in without saying a word.

A full 5 minutes passed.

There were all signals of safety coming from the Necromantic Pact.

Matthew pinched the feathered coin in his pocket, and then boldly jumped down.

Ai Lan followed.

This is a tunnel leading to the ground, and in most cases it is a steep descent of 75 degrees or more.

If it weren't for the feather drop effect.

If you fall hard, even if you don't die, you will end up with a serious cripple.

Syllable!

Matthew's feet touched a hard earth, black and swarthy in all directions, and the cold wind blew from an unknown place, giving people a creepy feeling.

Ah Bing maintained a vigilant posture on the side.

Burst!

Matthew lit a mage fire, and the surrounding situation was in full view.

It's a small room.

There is also a small tunnel next to it, which seems to lead to a larger square.

It didn't take long.

Ai Lan also made it here.

She looked around a little nervously, and then walked slowly to Ah Bing's side.

She looked the Knife Dancer up and down, then smiled:

"You're a pretty special skeleton."

Ah Bing twisted his hips proudly.

Matthew smiled meaningfully:

"He is my personal bodyguard, and without him, my ability to protect myself will be greatly reduced......

As soon as the words fell.

Ai Lan suddenly pulled out a white magic paper from behind her.

Syllable!

She pasted the magic paper on Bing's back.

The latter instantly transforms into nothingness!

……

"Warning: Your companion, Bing, has been hit by the spell 'Otherworldly Banishment'!"

……

And at the moment when Ah Bing disappeared.

"Ailan" tore open a scroll again.

In a flash.

A disgusting feeling welled up in Matthew's mind.

……

"Warning: You've encountered a 'Spell Nullification Barrier'!"

……

"You seem to be underestimating, handsome mage."

A smug smile appeared on Ailan's face.

The next second.

All the camouflage on her body disappeared, and she turned into a strange woman in a gray lady's dress and a small lipstick.

Her complexion was extremely white, white like a zombie, giving people an extremely sick feeling.

"First time we met, introduce myself, my name is Marconi, but people prefer to call me the Angel of the Plague."

The woman looked at Matthew with a smile:

"If you're willing to be my slave now, maybe I can spare your life."

She had expected Matthew to be flustered.

However, the latter just looked at her calmly:

"That's it?"

"If that's all there is, then you seem to be a little underestimated, Lord Angel."

"After all, I don't rely on spells to eat."

The next second.

In the surprised gaze of the other party, Matthew took out "Edson's mace" from his bag and looked at the other party with an unkind gaze:

"Why don't you try my sledgehammer?"

……
