A ray of sunlight in the early morning shines through the dense canopy into the humid woods.
Surdak led a small team of ghost-patterned ant warriors, starting from the forest farm camp and walking eastward along the Ganda Earle Mountains.
The two-headed ogre Gulitem, whose body has completely recovered, is also with the exploration team this time. The exploration team has a total of twelve ghostly patterned soldier ants and twelve infantry soldiers. In addition, the team
There is also the Druid Lani and the magician Basil.
The magician Basil explored all the way along the river at the foot of Gandaur Mountain in the early morning when the fog had not completely cleared from the river.
The steaming mist made the river look like a dangerous situation, and many birds were flying among the lush trees on both sides.
It was the rainy season at this time, and the river at the foot of Gandael Mountain was rushing. The clear river water hit the large rocks on the shore, and suddenly broke into countless crystal beads.
From time to time, the sound of birdsong can be heard among the endless mountains...
Surdak led the exploration team along the road in his memory and walked into the deep mountains and swamps again.
When Aphrodite was lying in bed last night, she teased him for not being able to let go of his obsessions and that he was not a qualified commander at all.
Surdak didn't have any excuse. He actually didn't know what he wanted to find in the mountains when he led the exploration team this time. Was it the violent earth bear or the indigenous tribe?
The river surface at the bend is extremely wide, and the river water becomes more relaxed here. The river water here is not that deep. Suldak still remembers the scene when he followed the second team to catch fish here...
He rode a horse and stood quietly by the river. He closed his eyes and the image of the young and lively indigenous girl appeared in his mind.
She is not very beautiful, her wheat-colored skin is a bit rough, and her hair is braided, but her eyes are extremely bright.
She stood under the willow tree across the river bend, smiling and waving to herself!
Suldak suddenly opened his eyes, but the figure in his memory disappeared from his mind. He flicked the reins of his war horse, and the horse stepped into the river, stepping on the trickling water, and walked step by step to the other side of the river.
.
Gulitem quickly followed up from behind carrying a big stick, but the ghost-striped soldier ants accompanying him were blocked by the river on the other side. They kept wandering on the shore, but they did not dare to enter the river no matter what.
Surdak could only ask Lanni to lead the exploration team to search downstream along the opposite river bank. This area belonged to the hunting area of the river valley. Although there were no jungle beasts seen in the woods on both sides of the river bank, Surdak was also worried that there would be
The evil ghost hunting team appears, so letting the magician Basil stay can at least echo the exploration team.
And he was searching for the road in his memory, riding a horse and constantly exploring forward.
There are overgrown weeds here, and the original path can no longer be found. Surdak can only look at the mountains on both sides and groping forward based on his memory. Seeing Surdak's tense face, the two-headed ogre also understands.
The boy didn't bother him, he just followed behind silently.
Along the way, Gulitem and Naohua'er were talking in low voices. The armor on their bodies had almost turned into a pile of rotten iron during the last battle. Although it had been carefully repaired by the blacksmith Herak, it was still worn on their bodies.
It still looked like a tattered beggar's uniform, and made a clanking sound.
Therefore, no matter where the ogre goes, it will frighten the birds perched on the tree crown and fly away to other places.
Finally I found the valley in my memory deep in the mountains. This valley is very secret.
If Surdak hadn't been here many times, he might have gotten into the maze of mountain roads at this moment. However, after entering the valley, the place was completely silent.
Just at the entrance of the valley, Surdak saw several charred trees. He rode his horse and walked inside. What he saw was a piece of scorched earth. The tree houses turned into piles of black ashes.
The fully burned wood was completely carbonized and fell to the ground in a mess.
Seeing the scene in front of him, Suldak was not surprised. The evil ghost army captured the forest camp last time, and the forward troops were even spread across the big meadow. Although he didn't know how Duke Newman drove these evil ghosts back to the forest camp.
Yunling, took back the forest camp.
But it can be imagined that the evil ghost hunting team has already traveled all over the nearby mountains and fields.
The evil ghost army needs sufficient food supplies. In the eyes of this group of evil ghost warriors, one-horned bison, yellow sheep, and wild boars are delicacies in their eyes. Imperial soldiers and natives of the plane are also delicacies in their eyes.
Although this valley is secretive, it is not a secret place for those evil ghost hunters.
It can be seen that all the buildings here have been burned to the ground, but no bones can be seen in the ashes that have been completely integrated with the soil. It is certain that the indigenous people here have either moved away or were regarded as evil spirits by the evil spirits.
The rations are made into bacon.
After walking along the scorched earth of the village for a while, Surdak stopped in front of the altar that was already overgrown with grass. There were still a few broken totem pillars on the altar, and there were even some hanging on it.
The skull of a monster.
Surdak jumped off his horse and climbed up the steps to the altar, which was only half a room in size.
Aphrodite was wearing silk pajamas, posing as if she had just woken up, and walked out of the Gate of the Void. Her hair was still a little messy, and she was holding a cup of steaming milk in her hand, bulging in the rabbit's pajamas.
The inside trembled as I walked.
"Is this the unforgettable place in your memory? A local aboriginal village? Weren't you rescued by those heavy armored infantry in the forest camp?" Aphrodite stood next to Surdak, risking his life.
He handed the steaming cup to him and asked curiously.
Surdak squatted on the altar, touched the vague patterns on the stones above the altar with his hands, and said to Aphrodite: "I learned how to sacrifice here!"
Aphrodite looked around in surprise and asked in disbelief: "You mean the sacrifice that the indigenous witch here gave you?"
Suldak nodded.
"I can't believe it... Then how did they die?" Aphrodite said with a puzzled look on her face.
"During the time I lived here, the tribe had declined to the point where there were no young warriors left to carry those monsters..." When Suldak said this, he suddenly remembered that the great wizard Inoyatila was on the altar at that time.
The skin of the monster was peeled off and almost completely covered with the young warriors of the tribe.
In this way, they can gain the power from the magical beasts, and then these warriors will be given the blessing of the 'divine body'.
In this way, although the body capacity of the young indigenous people is not enough, they can still persist for three days relying on the "divine blessing body". During this period, these young warriors will have extraordinary strength.
But once the blessing power of the 'Blessed Body' disappears, these young warriors will also explode and die.
This is the specific reason for the decline of this tribe.
This is different from Surdak's implantation of the magic pattern of life into those first-level warriors. The carrying capacity required by the magic pattern of life itself is very small, and it is implanted into the bodies of first-level warriors.
He did not implant the entire skin of the monster into the warriors, turning them into monsters that were neither human nor ghosts.
Thinking about it now, I can imagine how helpless the great wizard Inoyatira must have been at the beginning.
Surdak stood in the jungle, unwilling to say a word for a long time.
After a while, Surdak regained his composure and asked Aphrodite, "Why are you here?"
"I feel like you are in a bad mood, so I came here to comfort you..." Aphrodite yawned, smiled at Suldak with squinted eyes, and then said: "By the way, I almost forgot, daughter
Wake up, I'm going to go next door and take a look..."
As she spoke, she reached out and pushed forward, and a door to the void instantly appeared in front of her.
Just like at home, he walked in casually. Only then did Suldak realize that she had come barefoot, and her graceful figure disappeared on the altar in an instant.
This caused the two-headed ogre under the altar to wipe his eyes hard, showing envy for Aphrodite's ability to freely travel through the rifts in time and space.
Suldak failed to meet the violent earth bear in the mountains. He originally expected to have another chance encounter here, but then he thought about it. Even small animals such as grouse and hares were almost extinct in the entire mountains.
, it shows how ferocious these evil ghost hunting groups are.
Worried that the exploration team he brought out would be in danger, Surdak only stayed at the ruins of the tribe for a while before riding back the same way.
Just before reaching the river bend, the two-headed ogre suddenly stopped and pulled Surdak back.
Gulitem stood hunched over in the reeds by the river. The reeds here were so dense that they could actually hide a three-meter-tall two-headed ogre.
He pointed towards the opposite side of the reeds and said in a low voice: "I smell meat, what do you say?"
"Are there many people on the other side?" Surdak asked.
"It should be a full evil ghost hunting team!" Gulitem replied confidently.
Surdak asked in disbelief: "Can you smell this?"
"Hey, I'm guessing what happened next, but I'm sure there won't be a lot of people..." Gulitem half-crouched in the reeds, smiled, and whispered.
"You can't let it go if you meet it. Who would think there are too many black magic crystals!" Surdak said to the ogre, and then added: "Wait until I call Aphrodite..."
In fact, it's not like the two of them can't defeat a team of evil ghost warriors. After all, they are both second-level powerhouses. However, Surdak is worried that even if it is an ambush, the two of them will not be able to eat an entire team of evil ghosts.
, if you accidentally let one or two escape, you will lose money.
If Aphrodite could use the 'Sleep Cloud' to put them all into sleep, then the battle would be much easier.
Facts have proved that Surdak's idea was extremely correct. Aphrodite passed through the Void Gate again, and when the evil ghost team passed by the shore, it released the Sleeping Cloud in the reeds.
Then Surdak walked out with a broadsword and used the dagger to cut off the heads of the four evil spirits like melons and vegetables.
However, the ogre Gulitem had itchy hands. He didn't want to use the big stick in his hand to smash the head of the evil warrior, and he didn't have a sharp knife. He didn't want to use his meat cleaver, so he tried to twist it with his hands.
…
It's a pity that he underestimated the strength of the evil ghost warriors. This evil ghost warrior still shouted out before his head was screwed off.
The last sleepy evil ghost warrior woke up instantly. He jumped up from the ground. Seeing the miserable scene around him, he let out a series of roars, and then got into the dense reeds nearby.
Surdak was still willing to let it go at this time. He held up his brand new bone shield, took a few steps to chase after the evil ghost warrior, and swung the bone shield forward suddenly...
The evil ghost warrior felt a strong gust of wind behind him and did not dare to resist with his body. He half turned and glanced back, but his body honestly jumped forward.
Just as he was about to rush into the reeds, he saw that the bone shield in Suldak's hand was clearly covered with the bone face of the evil general.
The anger in the ghost warrior's heart reached its peak in an instant, and his head became hot. After leaping into the reeds, he rushed out again and stabbed Surdak's chest with a fist sword in his hand.
As a senior shield warrior, Surdak really had nothing to do against the evil ghost warrior turning around and fleeing, but he was not afraid of him turning around and fighting back.
The bone shield in his hand accurately blocked the evil ghost warrior's killing blow.
The evil ghost warrior once again saw the noble bone face on the shield, and then gritted his teeth and stabbed Surdak with his sword.
Surdak never thought that the last evil ghost warrior would be so hot-headed that even if he was the only one left, he would still fight back regardless.
So persistent!
The ogre Gulitum came from behind, waved the big stick in his hand, and knocked the evil ghost to the ground with just one stick.
"Ouch... it's great!" the two-headed ogre cheered. This was the first time he had killed an evil warrior since he recovered. The pleasure of having a great revenge filled the ogre's mind.
Surdak, however, held up the shield, looked down at the bone shield, frowned and asked Aphrodite: "How could this happen? Why didn't he run away just now?"
Aphrodite released a group magic, and her face looked a little pale. She looked at the bone shield in Suldak's hand, and then said: "It's probably because the bone shield in your hand angered him and made him...
Anger goes to my head!"
"Can it still be like this?" Surdak said excitedly and happily.
"This is the most likely possibility..." Aphrodite explained.
Surdak said with a look of surprise: "Does this mean that my shield has its own taunting effect on the Ghost Warrior?"
Aphrodite stood by the river and looked at the sky in the distance. The magician Basil actually flew over along the river on a magic harpoon, followed by a group of ghostly patterned soldier ants and heavy armored infantry on the other side.
Seeing the corpses of the evil ghost warriors lying on the ground here, they slid in the air for a while, then turned around to slow down their speed, and then slowly fell down.
