Chapter 161: Playing with a big ticket
Lance didn't speak, just did it in silence.
It wasn't until he tossed aside a piece of breastplate with huge claw marks and looked at it over and over again for a while that he seemed to understand something, and his eyes suddenly became very sharp.
After a few moments, Lance finally opened his mouth and muttered, "Sure enough. ”
For Lance's inexplicable words, Luca finally couldn't help but ask, "Did you find anything?"
"Do you remember what I told you about Erin Forest?"
Lance suddenly asked Luca such a non-ending question.
Although Lance had already told some of what had happened to him in the Forest of Irene, Lukka couldn't remember what it was for a moment.
Seeing that Lukka looked a little uncertain, Lance waved his hand to the standing Luca expressionlessly, motioning for him to squat down.
"Looking at the extent of the decomposition of these corpses, can you tell the approximate time of their death?"
Lance asked, pointing to several highly decomposed corpses not far away.
"The corpses of these Red Cross knights, judging from the decomposition situation, have been dead for at least more than a month, but it is summer, and the humid and sultry weather in the Gorles Mountains will also exacerbate the decomposition of the corpses, and I guess the time of death of these corpses is about twenty days, at least not less than twenty days. ”
In fact, when Lance rummaged through the corpse, Luca had already made a judgment about it.
Now that Lance asked, he didn't hesitate to talk to Lance.
Listening to Luca's analysis, Lance smiled and didn't comment, then he pointed to the breastplate in front of him, which he picked out alone, and asked, "Then can you see anything from this breastplate?"
In the face of Lance's question, Lukka looked at Lance with a frown and some puzzlement.
He didn't understand why Lance asked, but after thinking about it, he still looked at the breastplate.
This cuirass is the standard cuirass of the Red Cross light knights, and the material is made of very tough and comfortable calfskin, because it is the standard equipment of the Church Knights, so in terms of the refinement of the workmanship, it has surpassed the standard equipment of the army.
In terms of defense, below the high-tier realm, as long as it is not a penetrating damage, this cuirass can withstand most of the slash damage.
But even so, on this tough breastplate, there were five terrifying tearing scratches.
If it weren't for the fact that there was still a part of the cuirass that had not been destroyed at both ends, I am afraid that this cuirass would have been shattered into several pieces.
Looking at the scratches on this breastplate, Lukka frowned, and used his hand to roughly compare the size on it, and after thinking about it, he replied cautiously to Lance on the side: "To be able to cause such serious tearing scratches on this tough calfskin breastplate, its strength is probably already at the beginning of the high-level realm, or higher, and judging from the size of these five scratches, this must be some kind of large canine demonic beast, or some kind of feline demonic beast......"
Speaking of this, Luca's tone paused, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he asked Lance with some uncertainty, "Is it ...... Could it be that the Scarlet Dog did it?"
"Yes, I'm sure that the deaths of these Red Cross knights were caused by the Scarlet Dog, and this is the same Scarlet Dog I faced in the first place. ”
Lance's tone was very affirmative, and Luca didn't understand how Lance was sure, and he looked at Lance with his mouth wide open and in disbelief.
Seeing Luca's puzzled eyes, Lance smiled and explained to Luca, "I'm too familiar with the residual breath on it, I almost died under its claws......"
Speaking of which, Lance coughed lightly, not wanting to continue dwelling on the issue.
He diverted the topic, pointed to the corpses and said: "Luca, your analysis just now is correct, but in the previous question, you are wrong, I am sure that the death time of these Red Cross light knights is about ten days at most." ”
"Wrong? Ten days at most? No way, if it was only ten days, I don't think even the Northern Kingdom, which was extremely hot in the summer, would not have caused such a serious state of decay. ”
Lukka waved his hand at Lance with a look of disapproval.
He had served in the city guards of the Northern Kingdom for a period of time, and he had a unique way of judging the cause and time of death of corpses.
Lance was not surprised by Luca's disapproval.
If it weren't for his experience in the Forest of Irene, he would have thought Lukka's judgment was correct.
But Lukka didn't know about the mysterious corpse poison hidden in the undead creatures.
"Impossible? Look here......
With that, Lance flipped the breastplate over with a branch.
Even though the tattered cuirass was wrapped in rotting and disgusting corpse fluid, if you made close identification, you could still see some scattered dark green spots.
"This is a corpse poison caused by the undead creatures created by Eliface Levy......"
"Corpse poison?"
Before Lance's words were finished, Lukka couldn't help but interject and ask.
Lukka had also heard of corpse poison, but he had never heard of this kind of dark green spot that looked extremely disgusting.
Looking at Luca's puzzled look, Lance continued to say patiently: "Yes, it's corpse poison, but this corpse poison is different from the kind of corpse poison we are used to, it can be said that this is a corpse poison that has been modified by necromancy, it can accelerate the decay of the wound, and eventually flow through the blood throughout the body, if you are infected with this corpse poison and don't use special methods to deal with it in time, then even the holy light treatment of the priest will not help." ”
The special method that Lance spoke of was naturally the holy dust used by Dera Kasan at that time.
After listening to Lance's explanation, although Lukka still didn't understand, he didn't continue to ask questions about corpse poison.
He frowned, thought of another question, and hurriedly asked, "Lance, since you said that it was the corpse poison created by Eliface Levy, if we confront him......"
Luka's tone was hesitant.
Luka knew a little about the grievances between Lance and Eliface Levy.
Moreover, Eliface Levy is a real strength of the Double Cultivation Great Rank Realm, if it is really right, I am afraid that it will be dangerous.
"A magician once told me that Elipas Levy, who is in the Double Cultivation Grand Rank Realm, is actually just a pseudo realm, and he needs to absorb death energy through some method in order to maintain his combat power in the Double Cultivation Grand Rank Realm, if ......"
"What if......?"
"If I really want to face him this time, I will fight for my life, and I will also avenge my two dead brothers. ”
Lance's tone froze, and a cold killing intent immediately erupted from his body.
In the Forest of Irene, both Blanc and Sollong died at the hands of Eliface Levy, and if Mislanda hadn't appeared in time, I'm afraid he and Ike would have become unconscious puppets in the hands of Eliface Levy.
Now that there were finally some clues about Eliface Levy, Lance couldn't afford to ignore anything.
There are some grievances, although they have never been spoken, but once the time comes, then this account will have to be settled and settled.
At this time, Lance's mind immediately appeared that Blank was chubby, like a profiteer.
Although Lance and Ike were ignorant of the world at the beginning, and Blank deducted two silver coins as chips, that period was the most memorable period for Lance and Ike.
There is also the big grin, very greedy for money, and always has his own careful eyes, but at the last moment he is willing to work hard for his brothers.
After a moment of mental trance, Lance put away the cold killing intent on his body, sighed and stood up and said to Luca: "Let's go, continue to stay here, there will be no more clues." ”
As he spoke, Lance had already walked up to Lilith's side.
And at this time, Luca also stood up and shouted to Lance: "There is still a corpse over there, why don't you go and take a look?"
"Don't look at it, I've already determined what should be determined, and then we have to focus more on the Tomahawk mercenary group. ”
However, the corpse of the knight captain, which Lance did not inspect, had a fatal wound that had been cut open by a knife, in addition to the great damage caused by the blood-colored dog.
Three days passed, and Lance and his party were in the Golls Mountains, and there were no more clues except for some previous discoveries.
And the Tomahawk mercenary group that they are tracking is in the same situation as them.
However, during this time, they have been on high alert, so the physical strength and energy consumption of their personnel is very large.
At this time, Lance was standing on the canopy of a big tree, watching every move of the Tomahawk mercenary group from afar, thoughtfully.
After about a bucket of smoke, a sneer appeared on Lance's lips, and then he sprang down the tree like a monkey.
After standing firmly, he said to the group that was resting: "I see that their vigilance is a little lax, let them be comfortable for three days, and it is time to cause some trouble for them." ”
"I'll go!"
As soon as Lance's words fell, the mute couldn't wait to speak.
In the past few days, except for the occasional encounter with some snakes and insects, not a single demonic beast has been encountered.
Now that he finally has the opportunity to do it again, as the mute of the assassin, he is naturally the first to stand up.
Just as the dumb man was about to leave, Lance hurriedly stopped him.
"This time we played with a big ticket. ”
"Big?"
The mute asked, somewhat puzzled.
At the same time, Quilles, Luca, and Lilith also came over.
"Later, the dumb man will go and get Dilansel back first, and I'll tell you when he comes back. ”
Lance smiled mysteriously at the crowd, then took out the dry food and ate it.
The man in charge of finding Dilancer was still mute, and about an hour after he left, the two of them quietly walked back from the jungle.
When Di Lansel saw Lance, he walked straight to Lance's side and asked a little uncertainly, "What's wrong?
