Ixtal.
This is the largest virgin forest in the entire rune world, and there are countless rare species that are rarely seen in the outside world.
There is not only a human magic civilization hidden in the forest, but also a half-orc group of the vastaya race.
But today, this natural land with high mountains has ushered in some uninvited guests!
Starting from the east coast of the entire area, dozens of ghosts formed a hunting team, and after they landed, they headed all the way to the west deep into the forest.
Along the way, ghosts hunt and kill all visible life forms.
Countless animals were slaughtered, and even their souls were eaten by those ghosts.
It wasn't until those ghosts approached the most central area of the forest that they were intercepted by a half-orc master of the vastaya tribe!
It may be inaccurate to say that it was interception, it should be called delay.
The White Lion who once slaughtered Sevika's entire mercenary team, the jungle stalker named Rengar, although he used his body as bait to stop the ghosts from going deep into the forest, but he The situation is a bit precarious!
Rengar's movements are very agile and fast!
During the roar of the lion, its figure shot rapidly between the flat ground and the surrounding giant trees!
His charging speed was like a missile, and the right wrist knife and left wrist claw made a "whoosh" sound of cutting through the air between swings!
But all to no avail!
Even if Rengar used his fangs to bite, he couldn't hurt those ghosts at all!
On the contrary, the attacks of those ghosts are very dangerous!
At the beginning of the battle, Rengar was clawed by a ghost because of his carelessness.
There were no scars on Rengar's body surface, but he felt as if his soul was almost pulled out of his body!
It was a kind of coldness that penetrated into the bone marrow, and a trance feeling of unstable soul!
There is even a kind of severe pain that does not affect the body!
Fortunately, Rengar quickly distanced himself from that ghost under his hunting instinct, otherwise he might have fallen down long ago!
In the ensuing battle, Rengar couldn't help but be more careful, he tried his best to avoid being touched by creatures he didn't know!
He can only use his speed advantage, or use his agility cultivated by living in the forest all year round, to continue hunting those unknown monsters!
half an hour; an hour; two hours...
The long battle was exhausting even with Rengar's abilities.
After a long period of high-speed charging and continuous jumping, Raelgar's legs covered in fluff were already congested with blood!
His legs started to go numb, and Rengar's control over his legs became worse and worse!
But Rengar is the hunter! He won't back down!
So, amid another lion's roar, Rengar charged towards those dozens of ghosts again!
Before the ghosts could react, Rengar quickly passed between their figures!
The wrist knife and wrist claw cut through the throats of most of the ghosts, but the result was only to make the bodies of those ghosts wander a little bit!
No ghosts were harmed!
And those ghosts turned around one after another after reacting, they raised their arms made of soul energy, screaming and pounced on Rengar!
Rengar stared at those ghosts while panting!
Looking at the ghosts surrounded from the air and the ground, he instantly calculated a safe and effective hunting route!
No fear! Have no fear!
Without flinching, Rengar charged again!
Yet he was too focused on fighting! But ignore their own state!
Having just charged two steps away, Rengar felt a sudden tingling pain on his legs!
This made him stumble unavoidably!
The pace is chaotic! Rengar lost control of his right foot and happened to stumble over a vine coming out of the ground!
The charging trend of the upper body could not be stopped, Rengar could only let out an annoyed lion roar!
The next moment, his body was completely out of balance!
Boom!
Rengar's body fell heavily to the ground!
He wanted to get up quickly, but his legs were overloaded, and he couldn't relax instantly!
Unable to get up, Rengar could only turn his body over.
He half sat up and stared at the undead rushing towards him!
A bloodthirsty gaze rose from Rengar's only remaining right eye!
Even though he knew that he couldn't hurt those ghosts, he still roared and waved his arms!
Wrist blades and wrist claws were swung alternately, and in the blink of an eye, Rengar unleashed more than ten attacks!
The ghost closest to him was forced to stop because of this, and his body flickered for a while.
But Rengar could only block the ghost in front of him, but there were more pounced on it!
The next moment, a ghost jumped down from the air, and reached out to grab Rengar's head!
Rengar tilted his head back to dodge, and at the same time had to give up the ghost in front of him, and instead attacked the weapons on both wrists upwards!
But it's too late!
Although he successfully pierced the body of the ghost above with the wrist knife and wrist claws, his arms were also caught by the opponent!
There was a bone-deep icy feeling rising from both arms, which made Rengar lose control of his arms rapidly!
At the same time, other ghosts have already rushed forward and touched his body!
In the midst of an angry and unwilling lion's roar, Rengar couldn't help but fell to the ground with a 'bang'!
With the tearing action of the ghost on his body, Rengar once again experienced the trance of the soul leaving the body!
And the severe pain that didn't know where it came from kept maintaining his consciousness, making him unable to faint at all!
The severe pain continued to appear, and Rengar's consciousness became more and more trance!
He had completely lost control of his body, and he couldn't even make a sound.
At this moment, a shuttle-shaped stream of light suddenly flew from a distance, and instantly shattered the bodies of those ghosts!
Suddenly, Rengar seemed to see a black shadow.
But at the next moment, he couldn't even maintain his peripheral vision, and a severe sense of dizziness rose, making Rengar's eyes dark!
At the same time, the feeling of being out of the body disappeared instantly.
A little warmth emerged from his body, and Rengar seemed to feel his own heartbeat again.
But he also felt his own weakness.
After some time, Rengar heard the voice again.
Although it was mostly tinnitus, he could barely hear other sounds around him.
"Vastaya?"
A voice came into Rengar's ears indistinctly: "Are you okay?"
"Snoring..."
The extremely weak low growl was gurgled by Rengar in his throat.
After an unknown amount of time, Rengar finally felt his body regain some strength.
Enduring the bone-deep chill in his body, Rengar turned the eyeball of his right eye, and he saw the blurry figure beside him.
As his body continued to recover, Rengar's vision became clearer and clearer.
After a while, he finally saw his savior clearly!
It was a dark-skinned male human with dreadlocks. At this time, all the faces were squatting beside him with concern.
"You saved... me..."
Rengar spoke a little inarticulately.
Then he wanted to get up, but the feeling of being out of control made his muscles weakly tighten.
"It's better for you to lie down for a while."
Lucian seemed to have discovered Rengar's plan.
He raised his hand and made a pressing motion through the air, and reminded: "Don't worry, there is no danger. I have wiped out all those ghosts. You need to rest in this situation, and you will recover after a while."
The grace of saving his life caused Rengar to show obedience.
He no longer thought about getting up, but relaxed his whole body and waited for recovery.
At the same time, he asked in a low voice: "They...are...what?"
"Undead, or ghosts."
Lucian replied while turning his head to guard his surroundings: "I don't know if they are Fiego's subordinates, because there are too few of them."
Rengar's strength is powerful, and in this short period of time, he has already recovered a lot.
His speech became clear, and he continued to ask: "How did you kill them? Why can't I?"
"It's because of this."
Lucian raised the two holy stone firearms as a signal.
"The undead are divided into two types and four types."
He said: "One category is the undead with entities, which are divided into the living dead transformed from flesh and blood corpses, and the energy body formed by the condensed energy of death."
"The other type is the soul body."
Lucian continued to explain: "They are divided into ghosts and wraiths. Ghosts can only affect people's souls through melee combat, while wraiths are more dangerous and can affect people's consciousness from a distance."
"Those who besieged you just now are ghosts."
Lucian once again showed the two guns in his hand: "Ordinary weapons can't touch them without entities. Only my holy stone weapon can restrain them."
"Understood…"
Although there was still a piercing cold feeling in his body, Rengar had regained control of his body at this time.
He propped his hands on the ground and slowly sat up halfway.
Looking at the double guns in Lucian's hands, Rengar raised his eyes and looked into the other's eyes.
"I am Rengar! You saved me!"
His tone was very firm: "I will repay you!"
"No need."
Lucian smiled slightly: "The undead are the sworn enemies of all living things, and saving you is the right thing to do."
"I don't owe you a favor!"
Rengar was very insistent, his tone sounded like a brain.
But in the next second, he became embarrassed and ashamed again.
"Can I ask you to do me another favor?"
Rengar looked away and said, "I want to know, where can I find a holy stone weapon like yours, I want revenge!"
As if he was afraid that Lucian would refuse, Rengar expressed his determination by supplementary explanation.
"I've only failed once in my life!"
He slowly raised his hand to touch the blind left eye: "A predator took out my left eye and swallowed it right in front of me! Although I also tore his wings, But failure is failure!"
Rengar met Lucian's eyes again.
"I swear!"
He brewed a beast roar of 'hululu' in his throat, and then said: "I swear, I will never face failure again in this life! But today! I failed again!"
"I can't accept this result at all! So please help me!"
Rengar seemed to be a little beast expressing submission, he opened his arms to Lucian and exposed his chest, "Please help me get the holy stone weapon! I must go to those undead to wash away my shame!"
"this…"
Lucian hesitated for a moment.
He looked into Rengar's stubborn right eye full of conviction.
Lucian felt that a person with such eyes was worthy of his help.
So he smiled and nodded: "Okay! You are welcome to join the team against the Curse of Ruin! My name is Lucian, and I am a Sentinel of Light. Our mission is to fight against the undead!"
"I will join you!"
Rengar stood up slowly, and said solemnly: "When I avenge myself, I will repay your life-saving grace!"
Lucian smiled and shook his head: "Since we have become companions, there is nothing to repay or not to repay. It is right to help each other, not to mention that..."
Lucian looked around.
Then he frowned and said, "Rengar, we have something important to do now!"
"What's the matter?" Rengar asked as he moved his still stiff limbs.
"Those undead are very unusual."
Lucian replied: "There are too few of them! The real dilapidated disaster should not only have dozens of undead in this area."
"What do you mean?" Rengar didn't understand.
Since he left the group, he has always been a lone ranger, living alone in this forest and hunting for a living.
So Rengar rarely comes into contact with outsiders, and he lacks the ability to get along with people.
Lucian's tone was just a normal connection between the past and the future, but Rengar failed to catch the topic normally.
Lucian didn't care either.
He went on to say: "I plan to investigate and see where those ghosts come from."
This time, Rengar finally understood.
He nodded directly: "Okay! I'll help you!"
Upon hearing this, Lucian looked at Rengar, mainly at Rengar's wrist knife and wrist claw.
After thinking for a while, Lucian put his hand into his pocket.
He took out a small holy stone from it.
That's a souvenir.
A few years ago, when he was planning to die with Thresh, Thresh once smashed a holy stone pistol.
Lucian grabbed the fragment of the holy stone and broke Thresh's soul lamp, allowing Senna's soul to escape and be resurrected.
So Lucian left a small fragment of the holy stone and always carried it with him as a souvenir.
Now he wants to investigate the source of those ghosts, and Rengar has become a companion again, so Lucian can't leave his companion alone.
He worried that Rengar would be in danger without the holy stone weapon.
Under the premise that he could not lend his two guns to the other party, Lucian could only take out the small piece of souvenir.
"Here." He handed the finger-sized piece of the holy stone to Rengar: "This is the holy stone. Although its power is weak, it is enough for you to defend yourself first."
Rengar looked at the fragment of the holy stone, which was only the size of his fingernail.
Although he felt inadequate, he could only accept Lucian's kindness. He spread his fleshy palm and took the fragments... (End of this chapter)
