373 The Plague Daughter and the Plague Ball

Matthew eventually took Peggy's advice.

He scooped the poisonous mushrooms out of the lake, ground them into a powder and coated them with them.

He then set up a hidden ritual arena nearby to enhance the toxin's activity.

After doing all this, he left the vicinity of Crescent Mountain.

Half a day later.

Matthew did the same and found several water sources near the City of Night Angels.

The city replenishes its freshwater resources mainly by extracting groundwater.

So Matthew's actions become simpler.

With the blessing of the earthly arts.

He easily completed the poisoning work.

After doing all this, he returned to Tyrannosaurus Town happily.

Be prepared to wait for things to ferment.

However, to Matthew's surprise, things didn't go as he had imagined.

Two days later.

Crescent Mountain.

Inside a palatial vaulted palace.

The owner of the place, Hodges, the seventh son of the Evil Lord Omadoki, is strolling through a garden with his favorite concubine.

Hodges has ruled Crescent Mountain for more than a hundred years.

In his hands.

Crescent Mountain can be described as thriving, and the largest number of astral humans in the sampan plane are gathered here.

However, this group of astral humans is different from the natives of the Sampan Plane.

They come from the deeper depths of the astral plane.

When the evil spirits attacked the sampan plane, in order to obtain more accurate information, they recruited a group of humans from the depths of the astral plane to blend into the sampan plane.

These humans provided convenient guidance and detailed information on the actions of the demons.

Therefore, in the process of dividing the sampan plane among multiple forces.

The situation in the Crescent Mountain is stable and fastest.

With little effort, Hodges managed to take the town and become lord of the town, where he has ruled to this day.

Now.

At the beginning, the astral humans had become the most populous race in Crescent Mountain as the attachment of evil spirits, the second largest being the boar people, the third largest being the kobolds, and then the other chaotic races.

And as the real ruler of the evil spirits.

Due to the nature of the race, the number of evil spirits has always been very scarce.

On the one hand, this is because the conditions for the birth of evil spirits are very harsh.

On the other hand, it is because of the particularity of the internal competition in the evil spirit society-

Each demon needs a large number of providers to survive.

Since birth, they have had to absorb a special energy called spectral energy at all times.

If it cannot be replenished in time.

The evil spirit will lose its strength at best, and at worst, it will die violently on the spot.

As a result, the affection and relationship between the evil spirits is quite weak, and each powerful evil spirit excludes other evil spirits from its own territory, except for the necessary spouse and children.

This is to facilitate exclusive access to the spectral energy in the realm.

But on the other hand.

The Evil Spirits are unusually united when they are outside, and each Evil Spirit Lord will have a large number of half-evil spirits under his hands, these half-evil spirits often do not need to suck the ghost energy to survive, and they have fanatical loyalty to the Evil Spirit Lord.

It is with the support of the half-evil spirits who are the backbone of the force.

The Evil Spirit Lord was able to sit back and relax.

In the garden.

A gentle and sweet voice sounded slowly, and the person who spoke was none other than Gulshati, the favorite concubine of the evil spirit lord Hodges:

"Instead of continuing the attack on us or the City of the Night Angels, the necromancer has built a cemetery in Tyrannosaurus Town."

"But the canopy of death hasn't dissipated, and I guess he's going to fight a long time."

Hodges sneered:

"Protracted war?"

"He's worthy?"

"I have already applied to my father to mobilize the evil spirit army, and it won't be long before I will lead the evil spirit warriors across the astral realm to tear his death canopy to shreds!"

"But then again, the Cossacks really evaporated from the world? It's incredible......"

Gul Shati smiled and said lightly:

"No, he's not gone."

"Instead, he became an accomplice of the necromancer."

"Someone has seen the appearance of the Cossack in the canopy of death, and he looks a little more burly than before he was alive, but his eyes are noticeably different."

Hodges was silent for a moment:

"I know you're trying to remind me of the horror of my opponent and tell me not to take him lightly."

"But the wording is uncomfortable."

Gulshati still said with a smile:

"I'm sure the future Evil Spirit Lord will be able to accept such a reminder."

"You've got a lot of heart and energy, don't you?"

Hodges' face softened:

"Hmm."

Gulshati gently grabbed Hodges's arm, and the two continued their walk in the garden.

Hodges accepted Gulshati's claims, but he still didn't seem to be in high spirits.

However, this favorite concubine can accompany Hodges for hundreds of years, so she naturally knows how to coax this evil spirit lord.

She told two funny stories, and then in a few words, Hodges smiled.

Hodges is actually very clear.

His qualifications can only be regarded as average among the descendants of the evil spirit lord Omadoki.

He can have where he is today because of Gulshati's mind.

The two sides have known each other since they met, and he has hardly seen that Gulshati has made a mistake in judgment.

Therefore, in most cases, he can accept Gulshati's opinion, as long as he can get by on face.

After adjusting your mindset.

Hodges gets the conversation back on track:

"What do you say over there in the City of Night Angels?"

Gulshati replied without hesitation:

"The Lord of Underwood wrote that many people had died on their side, most of them because of some kind of disease, which was quite a violent disease, and died on the spot almost not long after the attack, and some of the corpses would even transform into zombies that night, and then attack others."

"This incident has caused a great deal of panic within the City of Night Angels, and many people are discussing the topic of when the necromancers will attack there."

"Underwood personally investigated and found that the entire underground water system of the City of Night Angels was contaminated......"

Hodges had an angry look on his face:

"Despicable necromancer!"

"This is almost exactly the same as what happened to Crescent Mountain in the past few days!"

"We've had a lot of deaths, too!"

Gulshati nodded:

"Yes."

"But it's not entirely bad news."

Hodgston was in the mood:

"Oh?"

"How?"

Gul Shati smiled softly:

"Lord Underwood mentions in his letter that the City of Night Angels is capable of dealing with this plague."

"The problem of water pollution is not difficult to solve, not to mention that they have successfully found the source of pollution, they only need to purify it, and then use legendary magic to clean up the polluted water system."

"It's the same way we handle it."

"In the past few days, some people have also died in Crescent Mountain, but most of the dead are second-class citizens and third-class citizens, that is, astral humans and wild boar people."

"They also had some corpse changes, but the situation was under control."

"Compared to the City of Night Angels, the situation on our crescent moon is much better, after all, the evil spirits and half-evil spirits of first-class citizens are immune to corpse poison."

Hodges had a smug smile on his face:

"It seems that dastardly necromancer knows nothing about evil spirits."

"He tried to poison us."

"It's ridiculous!"

Gul Shati chuckled softly:

"Not only that, but I also found that although he acted boldly, he was very immature in some ways."

"For example, when it comes to poisoning, he's very honest."

"He can only be said to be a little mean, but he is far from being sophisticated."

"Even I suspect he's poisoning someone for the first time."

Hodges was curious:

"Why do you say that?"

Gulshati explains:

"The toxin he chose is too strong, and it can easily arouse the alarm of others, so it is not conducive to subsequent transmission."

"If you replace it with experienced plague messengers, when they spread the plague, especially in the early stage, they tend to use mild, covert and highly transmissible toxins or diseases."

"Until the target group is almost infected, they will completely detonate the toxins or diseases in the target body through the ritual field, and then create a carnival of diseases and plagues."

"But he is different, he can only create short-term panic and cannot get the desired effect."

"So in the realm of meanness, he doesn't seem clever enough, and even a little clumsy."

Hodges nodded thoughtfully:

"You have a point."

"This kid does look a little immature, after all, I heard that he is not yet thirty years old."

"You've got a way to deal with him?"

Gulshati smiled and said nothing.

Immediately, she stretched out a forked tongue and licked her lips very seductively.

Hodges thought for a moment:

"You want him?"

Gul Shati said excitedly:

"If I help you take her, I want him to be my slave, and I plan to train him myself."

Hodges frowned slightly.

Gulshati immediately stuck to it, her soft and formless body wrapped around Hodges's body like a snake:

"Imagine having an Alliance genius mage in shackles and chains lick our feet while we're having sex – doesn't that make you even more excited?"

Hodges's breath suddenly became rapid.

But he was still able to maintain his basic sanity:

"How are you going to take him?"

"He's in the Scourge of the Dead!"

Gulshati said with a smile:

"Let's negotiate with him!"

"We can pretend that there are many dead and wounded in the city, that many people have been killed by the poison, or that we are simply afraid of the power of the undead and want to make peace with him."

"We can write to him and tell him that we don't have a deep grudge against him, and that we have a greater conflict with Lance than we originally had."

"We can promise to help him defeat Lance, and believe that he will be tempted by this - otherwise he doesn't need to let out the rumors that he wants to give the innocent a way out of the sampan plane, this act just shows that he knows very well that the Undead Scourge cannot level the Star Moon Mountain or the City of Night Angels, and he needs the help of others."

"And the place of negotiation is near the lake where he poisoned, and that place he has been to, at least more than other places, so it is relatively easy and more paralyzed."

"When we were negotiating, the two of us just went to him."

"As a sign of sincerity, we can even capture a few spies from the Scourge's Cult on Crescent Mountain and send them to him."

"As long as we are sure that his essence has really left the Death Curtain, we can take action! The other party is just a necromancer who has not yet been a legend, and you and I have joined forces, can't we still take him? ”

Gulshati looked confident.

On the contrary, Hodges hesitated:

"But he killed the Cossacks."

"And you just reminded me not to underestimate the enemy."

Gulshati smiled and said:

"First, the Cossack died under the canopy of death, and the necromancer is invincible inside, so we have to make sure that his body leaves the canopy of death."

"Second, we really can't underestimate the enemy, so in this operation, you must ask for your father's strength."

Hear the last sentence.

Hodgston hesitated:

"You know, it's not a joke......"

Gul Shati looked at him solemnly:

"The future Demon Lord should have the courage to be arbitrary."

"Matthew personally killed his father's sorcerer - that guy named Fein is an important pawn of his father in the south of Aindor, although he didn't say anything, but as long as you seize this opportunity to kill or even capture Matthew alive, you can get rid of the ordinary status quo and become a celebrity in your father's eyes."

"Don't you have the slightest determination?"

Hodges' face flushed slightly.

Immediately, he gritted his teeth:

"Okay, I'll go write a letter!"

Who knew that Gul Xiati said with a smile:

"No need."

"I've already written the negotiation letter for you, and I've already sent someone to send it out."

"I'm sure my Evil Spirit Lord will make such a choice."

Hodgston was a little displeased.

Gul Shati laughed:

"You don't blame me for making it my own mind, do you?"

She leaned down and kissed Hodges on the chest.

The next second.

Two more heads grew from Gulshati's neck.

The three heads go all the way down, each doing its job.

……

Tyrannosaurus Town.

Matthew let go of the Death Thunderbird in his hand, his expression slightly complicated.

He had just extracted the information of the past two days from the Thunderbirds, and as a result, the situation of both Crescent Moon Mountain and Night Angel City was not very satisfactory.

This was Matthew's first minor setback on the Sampan plane.

Although the poison did kill some people and caused local panic, it was still far from the effect Matthew wanted.

He began to reflect on his problem and wrote it on a sticky note as a wake-up call:

"Similar bad things are still done less, not skilled enough, almost no extra thinking, purely acting according to instinct and common sense."

"There must be a lesson, poisoning is not the better......"

Peggy leaned over to look at the contents of the note, and then patted him on the shoulder and comforted:

"Don't blame yourself too much."

"Although you are a necromancer and I am a minotaur skeleton, we are still too kind in nature."

"We don't have a talent for crime, and it's normal to do bad things and overturn."

Matthew shook his head.

Not having talent is not a reason not to do well.

If you can think more carefully before you start, you can at least take more initiative in the current situation.

"Why don't you go to Dudley, or that kobold mushroom warlock?"

Peggy asked.

Matthew still shook his head.

Both Dudley and Kobold Will may have a deep understanding of toxins, but on a practical level, their experience is similar to that of Matthew.

Count on them to help you poison and kill people.

I'm afraid it's also a professional mismatch.

"So what are you going to do next?"

"Why don't you just listen to me, let's just pick one and hit it?"

Peggy didn't want to think about it.

Matthew put away the sticky notes and regained his fighting spirit:

"Where you fall, you have to get up!"

"I'm going to go to a friend and ask for advice on the meaning of poisoning."

Peggy looked Matthew up and down:

"Do you know any friends who know how to poison?"

Matthew thought for a moment and said:

"He doesn't necessarily know how to poison."

"But there's a good chance he'll be able to help."

said.

He then told Mullan in Sapphire and asked him to preside over the situation in Tyrannosaurus Town for him.

Then Matthew found a no-man's corner and activated a new ability from the realm of life -

"Wilderness Form: Holy Deer"!

In the blink of an eye.

Matthew turned into a bouncing sika deer.

He gently tapped the ground with his forelegs.

In a moment.

A colorful oval roulette wheel appears in front of the sika deer!

There are a variety of areas on the roulette wheel.

Whenever Matthew's mental power focused on an area, the name of the corresponding area would flood into his mind:

Abyss;

Purgatory;

Evil Plane;

Twin Paradise;

Infinite Star Sea;

Tianlun Palace;

This is the "Cosmic Roulette Wheel"!

The various colored areas of the roulette encompass all the planes near the main material realm!

The cosmic roulette wheel is not just a plane.

In fact, it is a 3D model with many layers overlayed.

Matthew can manipulate a green point of light with his psychic power to move it on the roulette wheel to achieve the effect of traveling across planes.

The Holy Deer is a legendary creature with the natural ability to travel between planes.

He could move from world to world.

However, this action consumes a type of energy called "Moving Points".

The Holy Deer is born with a batch of movement points every 10 years, and unless the points are depleted, he can move across planes.

Matthew took a look.

You have 100 movement points.

And from the sampan plane where you are currently located, it only costs 1 movement point to travel to the desired destination!

This means that there are almost no barriers to movement between the sampan plane and its destination.

And if you want to arch into the main material realm, you have to spend at least 10 movement points - as for whether you can succeed or not, it depends on the face of the permanent barrier!

"For the creatures of the outer planes, the Permanent Barrier is really annoying."

"But for all beings in the material realm, this is the strongest wall."

Matthew sighed in his heart.

Immediately.

He moved the green dot of light to the corner next to him.

Whew!

A round rainbow of light burst out from under his feet.

Only for a moment.

Matthew disappeared in place!

After a few seconds.

The Holy Deer's limbs touched the ground again, and he gently touched the soft ground with his hooves, and a croaking sound came to his ears.

Matthew opened his eyes, and suddenly, there was a tingling in his eyes, and a strong burning sensation came from the tip of his nose!

"Warning: You have successfully reached the 'Poison Realm' in the form of a holy deer!

You are being tested for "poison" in the local ritual field......

"Not good!"

I felt the intense pain in my limbs and the feeling of my heart beating wildly.

Matthew made a quick decision and instantly transformed into his original human form!

Followed by.

He threw himself a bubble spell.

Then the realm of life unfolds.

Only then did he barely withstand the first round of testing of the poison world toxin field!

"Fortunately, my toxin resistance is not low......"

Matthew breathed a sigh of relief.

Don't look at the Holy Deer is a legendary creature, and it is in the realm of life, but its toxin resistance is not as high as that of Matthew, a mage!

If you delay a little longer.

Maybe something will happen!

Even Matthew himself can't be careless.

He didn't have the blessing of the spores given by Hasman on his body now, and he could only rely on the life field and his own toxin resistance to carry it.

And in the drug world.

The toxin field is everywhere.

If you can carry the first round, you may not be able to carry the tenth round.

The feeling of poisoning is not pleasant.

He had to do it quickly!

At the moment, Matthew walked briskly through the humid jungle of the Poison Realm, and the environment here was different from every kind of forest he had encountered before.

Ostensibly, this is a tropical rainforest.

But the water here is much more abundant than the rainforests of Al Aindo.

Matthew can only fly in mid-air.

There was water underneath and above, and there was a thick fog even in midair.

"If I had flown with wings, I would have weighed more than a dozen pounds now......"

Matthew sat on the magic carpet and thought about it.

The environment of the poison world made him very uneasy, the jungle was still wet except wet, and he couldn't even see a living thing!

If it weren't for the croaking sound.

He might even feel like he's in a jungle of death!

However, the trip went much smoother than Matthew expected.

He flew over to the sound of frogs.

It didn't take long.

He saw a group of giant frogs lying on a raised island, gesturing to each other.

The island is lined with coconut trees that reach into the sky.

The coconut green here is palpable.

The fibers on its exterior are covered with a green liquid.

Matthew didn't dare to approach at all.

I don't know if it's because of psychological reasons.

He was already feeling dizzy and aching.

Matthew swoops down on the magic carpet.

He shouted at the giant frogs from afar:

"I'm a friend of Solinka."

"Please take the liberty of visiting the door, and please give us a notice."

However, most of the giant frogs were unmoved.

Only a giant frog with strong muscles glanced at Matthew:

"Every mage who strayed into the poison world claims to be a friend of Solinka, how can we trust you?"

Matthew smiled and shook his head:

"You don't have to believe me."

"Just pass me a word."

said.

He took a few things out of his bag and shook them in front of the giant frog:

"What kind of reward do you want?"

Matthew took out the following things-

a bucket of milk;

two roast chickens;

a basin of clean water;

a handful of gold coins;

A bottle of sword oil.

The giant frog looked at it from a distance, and suddenly screamed:

"Give me that bottle of oil!"

Matthew threw it in the air.

The giant frog quickly popped out its tongue and swallowed the sword oil into its belly at once.

The next second.

With a roll of his eyes, he suddenly rose into the air and leaped towards the depths of the rainforest!

"Come with me, mage, your bottle of oil really tastes good!"

"Can you tell me what this was originally for?"

Giant frogs jump extremely fast.

Matthew barely kept up with a magic carpet.

Questions for each other.

Matthew just laughed and didn't say a word.

Ten minutes later.

The giant frog led Matthew to a forest of banyan trees that had been submerged in water.

He pointed to the forest with one hand and said:

"Solinka is here."

"I won't go in, it's too poisonous inside, it's not a place for frogs at all."

"My name is Jimmy, next time I come to the poison world, you can bring a few more bottles of that oil, I can exchange it with you for other things."

With that, he jumped and left.

As soon as Matthew approached the banyan grove, an old face suddenly appeared on a tree at the very edge:

"Look, who's coming? It is the messenger of nature, the preference of death, the soul of nature, the beloved tree planter, hehe, Matthew, I'm glad you remember me, an old man. ”

"Hello, Mr. Solinka."

Matthew clasped his chest with one hand, performed a humble mage salute, and then got straight to the point:

"I'm here to ask you how to spread the toxin."

He then gave a rough account of the problems he had encountered on the sampan plane.

"You've come to me to find the right person!"

The Poison Giant Tree Solinka smiled and said:

"In my opinion, being too toxic is not the problem."

"As long as there are enough carriers, more virulent toxicity would have helped to solve the problem more simply."

"I can send you four poison sources, they are the best carriers of poison, namely: the poison world frog, the purgatory pit viper, the quill wasp, and the weeping scorpion."

Between words.

The bark of the tree suddenly cracked, and four balls of light flew out of it and landed in front of Matthew one by one.

Matthew stared intently.

Each orb of light contained at least 1,000 of the poisons mentioned by Solinka.

Matthew didn't rush to pick it up, but asked respectfully:

"And how can I thank you?"

Solinka immediately replied:

"You don't have to thank me for anything, there aren't many friends in the poison world, I'm glad you came to see me."

"Of course, we do have some special demands, and as a messenger of nature, you have the right to know about themβ€”"

"The Poison Realm was supposed to be part of the Sea of Ten Thousand Realms, but an accident many years ago caused us to break away from the inner plane, drift to the outer layer, and become rootless duckweed."

"My only wish in this life is to see the Poison Realm return to the embrace of the Ten Thousand Worlds Tree Sea."

"I know it's hard to do, but I also know you're different, and I knew from the first time I met you that you're going to excel in no time, and it's exactly as I guessed......"

"I'm glad I didn't attack you when I was in Zeshui City, and I even broke the contract with the summoner for this, hehe, of course, I paid a little price, but now it seems that it is worth it......"

Solinka gushed.

It feels like a lonely old man meets a young man who comes to visit by chance.

The feeling is so real.

Matthew couldn't help but sigh secretly.

However, the environment in the poison world is indeed unacceptable, and he plans to leave after asking about the skills of using the four poison sources.

And yet at this very moment.

A cold voice came from the depths of the woods:

"You're talking too much, Solinka."

Solinka smiled disappreciatively:

"I'm sorry, Keisha, but it's been a long time since I've had a guest on the door."

"Did we get you into a fight?"

"Why don't we change places?"

The female voice named Keisha said disapprovingly:

"The drug world is so big, where can you change it?"

After saying that, she was silent for a while.

Then he suddenly spoke:

"Hey, that little guy named Matthew, do you want to come and sit with me?"

"I'm not far from the drug world here, and the environment is much better than there."

"And, I have something to ask you."

Matthew looked at Solinka with some surprise.

The latter said in a soft tone:

"Don't be nervous, Keisha isn't a bad person."

"She is the Daughter of the Plague, and the Plague Castle she lives in is very close to the Poison Realm, and it is also a separate outer plane."

"Oh, I forgot to tell you that she was the wife of the Grim Reaper, and she has been widowed for many years now......"

Death's wife?

Matthew was still hesitating.

Keisha's voice had already arrived:

"Since you are a messenger of nature, then I will give you four little cuties."

"Mosquitoes, rats, cockroaches and flies."

"You take these four cuties and the four poison sources that Solinka gave you, plus enough negative energy, you can synthesize the Death Plague Ball, you should know what the Death Plague Ball is, right?"

"Come here, let me see...... That slate on you. ”

The legendary demigod of the Necromantic Realm -

"Plague Ball"?

Matthew couldn't help but look up.
