Chapter 0199: Night of Horror
A temporary camp. Tianlai Novelｗｗｗ． 『⒉
The camp is located in a pile of rocks.
The rocks, which are two or three meters high, are piled up in all directions. They look messy and disorderly, but they can bring a little sense of security to the campers.
The forest is foggy and wet.
Although it is late at night, the travelers sleeping in the pile of rocks did not light a bonfire to drive away the moisture, and no one is willing to talk. In the shadow of the black boulders, three or five adventurers wrapped themselves in thick animal skins and felt rolls, trying to make themselves fall asleep.
However, the scene seen in the daytime was too thrilling, so it became difficult for everyone in the camp to fall asleep.
"Xi Luo, do you think we can go back alive?" Hunter Poole gently poked his fellow villager beside him and asked in the lowest voice.
Xi Luo is an archer. In the village where they originally lived, he is already the best archer.
Xi Luo turned over and did not answer his companion's question.
However, Poole could vaguely see his companion trembling slightly through the physical contact just now. However, he did not ask his companion the reason, because at this moment, his body was also shaking uncontrollably.
That terrifying fire man as tall as a demon, that terrible roar that shook the entire forest, that raging flame that swallowed the world... Just like that, two knights and three or five mercenaries were buried in the sea of fire and became the new wronged souls of the evil wizard.
And those characters are probably countless times stronger than himself!
Whenever Poole recalled the scene he saw while lying on the treetop in the afternoon, he felt his soul trembling. It was as if... it was as if he had become the knight engulfed by the violent flames, and the only thing he could do was to raise his neck and let out the last shrill wail in his life!
Under the pressure of fear in his heart, Poole finally mustered up the courage and whispered to the shadow at the other end of the camp: "Lord Morse, can we still go back alive?"
"Silence! Do you want to call those wizards?" The light rebuke of the law-breaking knight Lord Morse came from the shadow, but then the tone became soft again: "Don't think too much. Our mission is to explore the surrounding area of the Snake Bird Cliff. Tomorrow, we only need to move forward 3 miles to complete the mission. Then you can naturally return to the camp smoothly to get the reward. That's 30 gold solangs, enough for you to live a stable life for ten years!"
Perhaps thinking of the happy life after getting the reward, the big stone in Poole's heart finally loosened a little. He wrapped himself tightly in the thick animal skin again, trying to keep himself warm.
However, Poole didn't know that just as he tried hard to let himself fall asleep, the soil in the center of the camp suddenly arched up a basin-sized earth bag. As the soil on the top of the earthen mound cracked, countless black scorpion worms gushed out from it, divided into five black worm tides, and silently rushed into the surrounding shadows.
A moment later, the angry roar of Knight Morse suddenly sounded in the shadows.
"Get up... Everyone, get up... The evil worms are coming!"
As the energy shield glowed, the flaming sword began to burst in his hand. With the blinding flame light, the extremely simple camp was instantly illuminated. There were a total of 5 people in the camp, in addition to him, the law-breaking knight, there were 2 demon hunter knights, and 2 mercenary hunters.
Unfortunately, when the jumping light shone on the camp, only he and a demon hunter knight, Gemu, could jump out of the felt. The other 3 companions did not respond at all. Looking up, they only saw the animal skin mattresses and felts squirming.
"Damn it..." Morse cursed angrily: "Take your weapons and prepare for battle..."
In fact, he didn't need to remind him. The knight had already slapped off the many scorpions on his body, resisted the dizziness with his tenacious will, and pulled out his rune sword.
After these scorpions got into the felt, they kept stabbing him with their poisonous claws, but strangely, he didn't feel any pain. If it weren't for the loud roar of Lord Morse to wake him up, I'm afraid he would have died silently in his sleep like another demon hunter knight.
The blazing flaming sword pierced the ground fiercely, and the violent flame shock wave instantly swept the entire camp.
Under the powerful explosive impact of Knight Morse, the scorpions that rushed towards them were engulfed by the fierce elemental flames, and the camp was full of shrill insect hisses that made people's teeth ache and legs weak.
However, under the flickering light of thousands of flames, the wormhole in the center of the camp suddenly collapsed downwards, and more and larger beetles gushed out from it. They gathered together, piled up into a creeping pile of terrible insects, and rose little by little.
Soon, a human figure built by a swarm of terrifying insects appeared in the center of the camp.
Seeing the evil wizard's strange appearance, the two knights' eyes were full of unconcealed despair, and their hearts were as cold as ice and snow.
The evil insect Entik appeared!
…………
In a cave at the bottom of a cliff 12 miles northwest.
A bright bonfire was burning.
The entrance of the cave was covered with a thick felt, and outside the cave was dense wild vines, so there was no worry that the fire would be noticed by outsiders.
The four people in the cave sat around the bonfire, silently wiping their weapons and protective gear, without any interest or enthusiasm in talking.
Fortunately, they were led by hunters to this hidden cave before dark, and now they had a resting place where they could light a bonfire to drive away the moisture in the forest. Otherwise, they would never dare to light a fire while sleeping in the wild.
In this deep and leafy Greenland forest, any light of fire in the darkness can be clearly seen more than ten miles away. Although there are no birds, beasts or ferocious monsters in this mountain forest, there is an evil wizard lurking that is far more terrifying than the beasts.
In two days, their team of four had only traveled less than 30 miles in the mountain forest, but they had already been attacked by witch beasts no less than 15 times.
These witch beasts roam in small groups in the mountains and forests. Once they sense the scent of humans, they will pounce on them like mad dogs regardless of their own safety. They are either plague dogs, raging bison, or poison dart frogs... Of course, they also encounter a strange monster created by the combination of a pterosaur and a human spearman!
None of these weird creatures are normal. They either carry this terrifying plague or virus-causing bacteria, or they are covered in blood. At first glance, they look like a terrifying evil thing randomly put together by several jungle beasts!
It was with the help of Lord Spellbreaker Knight's powerful semi-long-range flame blade that they fought their way through in a desperate fight.
Fortunately, although they were attacked by many wizard beasts, they did not encounter those evil wizards!
The southern part of the Greenland forest has undulating mountains and vast forest seas. Deep in the dense forest, it is difficult for two people to notice each other even if they are hundreds of meters apart. Therefore, with a dozen wizards scattered in such a huge space, it is almost impossible to completely block the penetration of the knight team.
So it's not very strange that they traveled all the way here but didn't meet the wizard.
However, in the afternoon, the distant battle they spied on a certain mountain made them silent. A team that was almost as powerful as theirs was destroyed by the fire demon's ambush!
Deep down, the knights also had huge resistance to the high-level officials' infiltration investigation that forced them to die. But when I think about it, in such a huge and vast forest, if there is no specific goal, the 2,000-person Demon Hunter Knights can only wander around aimlessly in it.
By that time, I am afraid that the eating, drinking, and drinking of more than 2,000 people will be enough to bring down the entire team, let alone finding and fighting the enemy in the deep mountains and dense forests!
So even though demon-hunting knights die painfully in the depths of the jungle every day, the top brass of the Knights are still persisting in carrying out the reconnaissance team's infiltration plan.
With the lives of more than twenty spell-breaking knights and more than fifty demon-hunting knights, the edge area of this forest has been completely explored, and the wizard's defense line is retreating step by step. Maybe in three or four days, they will thoroughly understand this vast forest of two to three hundred miles and find the enemy's lair hidden in it.
At that time, it is the wonderful moment for them to mobilize their army and destroy the evil wizard's lair in one fell swoop!
However, although the idea is beautiful, it requires greater sacrifice and more efforts on their part to be realized. As for whether they could live to see that beautiful moment, the two spell-breaking knights in the cave were still a little worried.
However, while everyone was staring at the beating bonfire, a strange knocking sound suddenly came from the entrance of the cave.
"Dang Dang Dang...Is there anyone here?"
"Who?" a hunter blurted out in shock. Soon he realized that he and his party were in the wilderness. Where was the door? Where did the visitor come from?
"A lonely traveler! If you don't object, then I will come in!" The voice outside sounded strange, hoarse, and not at all popular.
"Since your Excellency is here, just come in! There is no need to hide outside and play tricks!" Entos, the spell-breaking knight, slowly stood up, and his energy shield and flaming sword began to glow with fluorescence.
Suddenly, he turned his head to look at his companion sitting next to him in surprise.
Heim, who was also a law-breaking knight, was still sitting on the same spot, with veins popping out on his forehead, his face flushed, and his teeth grinding together.
"What's wrong with you?" Entos asked loudly.
"I'm... about to... be... controlled..." This simple sentence was broken into pieces by this Knight of Helm. And after he finished speaking, even his eyes turned red.
Knight Entos struggled to activate the flaming sword in his hand, and the sudden explosion of elemental flames instantly illuminated the entire cave and the Knight of Helm.
I saw strange translucent threads floating in the void behind Helm Knight sitting on the felt, all of which were pierced into his body, while the other end silently extended to the cave wall.
"Damn it, it's a puppet!" Knight Entos roared angrily, and a flame blade shot out of the air, directly cutting off the seven or eight weird void threads.
With the help of his companions, Knight Helm finally got rid of the control of the silk thread behind him, jumped up quickly and roared: "Everyone, get ready, the evil wizard puppet is coming..."
However, as he roared, the two mercenaries who were also sitting next to the campfire stood up crookedly, with strange smiles on their faces, raised their swords and pounced towards them. chapter;
