Chapter Twenty-Eight: I Really Want to Take a Comfortable Bath
"I didn't expect that the Snekman family was quite fast, and they had already established a supply base near the ruins of the Golden Tomb. Head approached the campfire, looking at the latest map he had bought yesterday from the eastern border city of Seponte.
It took only five days for Heud and his party to cross the grey mountain area after setting out from Roland City, and then turned slightly northeast, near the territory of the Snekman family in the eastern border city. The eastern frontier city of Sepon is the closest human city to the ruins of the Golden Tomb, but it is also more than 500 kilometers away, and it is a city with many adventurers and hunters.
Because the area outside the eastern border was originally a dense settlement of Warcraft, and the area where the current Golden Tomb is located was also the most prosperous area of the former Titan Empire, there are many small cities destroyed or abandoned due to war or other reasons, alchemy towers and other ruins, which sometimes make some adventurer teams who explore this area get a good harvest.
"That's fine, this stronghold is really important, you can get a lot of supplies, at least you don't have to worry about water, food, and other items. ”
Yesterday's routine contact with Roland City, the current situation in Roland City is all right, it seems that all the arrangements made before are going well, but the Empress is still ill, and even the two Duchess of West have not been able to see me when they go to visit, this news makes Hade feel a little strange.
The next day, the trio continued to make their way to a new base on the map, but they encountered a group of strange monsters when they were expected to arrive in half a day.
"You can't kill these things. Wella was a little bored, and as she spoke, she casually swung out the connecting sword in her right hand, shattering a dozen strangely shaped monsters on the side.
At this point, Head didn't make a move. Instead, he stood next to three six-legged monitor lizards in a circle and used magic mercury bubbles to observe the nearby area, trying to find the black hand behind the scenes.
The three of them were besieged by thousands of various weak demonic beasts. Or the corpse of a monster. Because these various types of mid-level and low-level demonic beasts have been dead for a long time, they are not at all angry, but they contain strange source power in their bodies. For example, the third- and fourth-order iron-clawed wolves that besieged Weina's subordinate wolf fighting over there, many of their bodies had already decayed and exposed their bones, or they were so dry that they were like skeletons, and they were obviously not normal magical beasts.
And many of the corpses that were crushed by Wella, Des and the wolf fighters soon came back into strange and disgusting strange things, and continued to attack everyone. Although these things are not very strong, they continue to attack without fatigue and fear, and it is really a bit troublesome.
"It's supposed to be a corpse control beast, I'm looking for where it's hiding. You try to keep your energy and don't use too much. Hide frowned slightly, he had been searching for a long time without finding any trace of the Corpse Control Beast.
It seems to be a high-level corpse control beast, and it will not be lower than the seventh order. Hed made a rough estimate from the number of demonic beast corpses that had been manipulated. The corpse control beast is very good at hiding itself, although its own strength is not too strong, but it has the strange skill of manipulating the corpses of other monsters, and often hides in the shadows and uses corpse tactics to drown the prey, which is a very cunning kind of monster.
The area of two or three kilometers nearby had been detected by the Source Force Perception Skill and the Magic Mercury Bubble, and still found nothing, and Hade was a little annoyed. This monster that was only about the seventh order had actually trapped his group for nearly an hour, which was really quite infuriating.
"Play hide and seek with me, huh?" "Hed was pretty sure the guy wouldn't be more than two kilometers away from his group, "Notice, when I call out three, everyone jumps at the same time." Lord Wella, please restrain the wolf fighters. ”
Although the two heroic female warriors who were fighting nearby did not quite understand the reason, they did not raise any objections, and each began to look for a suitable place to settle and prepare to take off.
Take a deep breath. Activate the infinite corrosive power in your body to the highest point, and at the same time unfold the illusory viscous membrane to wrap the three-headed six-legged monitor lizard and yourself around you. Head began to count.
"One. ”
"II. ”
"Three!"
With the number of his zuihou exit, Wella and Des and the six fighting wolves jumped up at the same time. Their strength was enough to jump to a height of more than ten meters with a light leap, and the wolf fighters were not much inferior, so the attack of countless monster corpses on the ground suddenly stagnated.
The next moment, Hyde punched the ground, and the black atomization source force spread rapidly, and the area within a range of three kilometers gave people an illusion of an instantaneous conversion from color to black and white, and the entire ground vibrated slightly with Ved as the center, and then the weeds and shrubs, stones, rocks, and soil on the ground nearby, thousands of monster corpses, and even hundreds of tall trees in the distance, everything turned gray and black in an instant.
With a soft sound of "snort", all the things that were instantly dyed black exploded, and the black ash fluttered all over the sky, forming a large circle with a diameter of about six or seven hundred meters with Hade as the center, and the black circle that was rapidly corrupted in an instant still quickly spread out dozens of meters away from all around before stopping.
With a piercing scream, a humanoid monster with a large and ugly head covered in black mist jumped out of the dirt three hundred meters away, jumping with its back to the crowd and quickly fleeing to the periphery.
At this time, Wela and Des had just landed, and both of them were surprised to find that their legs were about half a meter into the ground, and without waiting for the hostess to command, the head wolf of the eighth order in the Red Flame Fighting Wolf, Hal, scraped up a large amount of black ash and rushed out quickly, and a second later, he caught up with the corpse control beast that was not fast, and cut off its head with a grab.
"Ah, this place isn't easy to settle in, let's get out of here. Hide jumped into the saddle on the six-legged monitor lizard's back.
Wella glanced at Have, and felt that such a strange wide-area attack skill was definitely not the special inheritance of the combination of water magic and alchemy that Beard, a newcomer to the family, had previously said. However, personal inheritance is the most private secret in the Western Ancient Continent, and the red-haired duchess didn't want to ask about it, so she jumped on the saddle of the six-legged monitor lizard and drove the six-legged monitor lizard below her to leave this artificially corrupted land as soon as possible.
The six-legged monitor lizard, which is adept at moving freely through a variety of difficult terrains, quickly crawled out of this circular corrupted land. A moment later, Hal returned to everyone with a gray-white crystal nucleus in his mouth, and Wella took it and said casually: "LV73's corpse control beast crystal nucleus." ”
"This monster is really hard to deal with and disgusting. "Hede remembered the First Praetorian Guard of the Empire. Among the crystal nucleus formulas that the only undead black mage Nasnes family needs to consume for the inheritance, the corpse control beast crystal nucleus is one of the larger proportions. I can't help but admire that this family can hunt so many corpse control beasts.
"Although your skill has a wide attack range, the attack strength is not very strong. Even the monsters of LV73 can't be killed in one hit," Wella commented, "and it's so dirty, and everyone is covered in black ash." ”
"Oh, in half a day, you will be able to reach the stronghold on the map, there should be an inn or something, just take a shower then. "Hade thought to himself that that's normal, my current strength is not even the seventh order.
Hearing that she could take a bath, Wella, who had been able to wipe herself with a wet towel for the past few days, suddenly felt refreshed. Even the usually quiet silver-haired female apprentice unconsciously smiled, and both of them sped up the six-legged monitor lizard's march, and Hide could only smile slightly wryly, feeling that no matter which shijie woman seemed to regard bathing as more important than many things.
......................................................
More than 20 kilometers away from the route traveled by Hade and the others, another small team also encountered some headaches.
"You idiot woman, as the next heir of the first assassin family of the Empire, you are actually a road idiot!" a little black-haired girl who looked to be only eleven or twelve years old scolded the other blonde woman in front of her.
Just casually tied her hair into two fluffy curly ponytail hairstyles, and her body was also a very ordinary gray ranger costume for traveling, but this little girl with black curly hair looked more imposing than many aristocratic ladies. But now her dark eyes glared fiercely at the embarrassed blonde female assassin in front of her as if they were about to burst into flames, making her beautiful face look a little unsightly.
"Your ......Majesty", a tall and thin middle-aged man behind the black-haired little girl just said half a phrase when the little girl turned his head and glared at him fiercely, and immediately woke up and changed his words: "Miss Dolly." I can't blame Lord Elian, the main thing is that the terrain in the area around here has changed a lot due to the strong earthquake two months ago, so it is normal to not find the most suitable path for a while......"
"Normal fart!" the Imperial Empress, who goes by the pseudonym Dolly, looks annoyed. Otherwise, he would not blurt out this kind of swear words without the slightest aristocratic etiquette, "We have been on our way for a month and a half." I hadn't been able to reach the Golden Tomb site yet, and I thought it was strange before. Weishenme often passes by very familiar places, and in retrospect, we have been lost in the first place!"
"What ...... this", the middle-aged man with short silver-gray hair also felt a little embarrassed, and couldn't think of anything to solve the siege for a while.
The short-haired woman with her head down and didn't speak again wanted to speak, but she was glared at by the Empress of the Empire with an angry face, and immediately lost the courage to speak. She wears a very distinctive gray-and-white tight-fitting assassin suit, but her feet near the ground are a rocky yellow-brown color, and if you look at it from different angles, the tight-fitting assassin suit on her body will also show different colors, it should be a super high-end assassin suit made of color-changing wurm skin that can change color with the surrounding environment.
"I don't care about the rest, if you idiot can't find that newly built stronghold within today, don't come back to see me!"
The female assassin named Elion nodded heavily and immediately disappeared in front of the two.
Doru Olympus grabbed a ponytail at the back of his head and curled it around his fingers, still angry: "This special hair dye from the Spes family makes me feel very uncomfortable, Nasnes, is there no clean water nearby?"
Nasnes, the first guard of the Empire, who revealed his true face, shook his head slightly, "I'm sorry, Miss Dory. Actually, I think this should be a psychological effect, and the secret medicine made by the Spease family will not have any side effects. ”
"I haven't taken a shower for half a month, it's really infuriating, although I have similar mental preparations, but I didn't expect the actual experience to be so bad. The little empress sighed.
"I really want to take a good shower. The same thought has been haunting the minds of three girls of different ages twenty kilometers away.
