Mary walked cautiously through a forest of shadows.
Everything around is dark, and black shadows of varying shades can be seen everywhere. And in many of the shadows, one can vaguely sense the subtle breath of life.
Mary must be very careful to avoid the location of these shadows, because each shadow is actually a twisted and evil shadow creature. They are densely packed throughout the valley, closely guarding all roads leading to the black wizard tower.
These shadow creatures may not be very powerful. In Mary's eyes, they are all weak beings that can be destroyed with one blow. However, in order to avoid alerting the enemy, she can only cover up all the life breath and carefully detect among the dense shadows.
travel through.
As a foreign vampire, Mary can easily control the temperature of her blood, thereby evading the search of infrared perception and life perception. Coupled with her agility bonus in stealth, these shadow creatures are average but no more than an intermediate apprentice.
It was impossible to notice her presence.
The reason why Mary is so careful is not because of them, but to avoid those shadow mastiffs that shuttle through the Nio Valley from time to time. They are like hounds in the material world, with a highly developed sense of smell and can sniff out
Any elemental flow that is not shadow matter.
Fortunately, Mary was wearing the 'Orb of Deception' given to her by Alice. Under the cover of the strange aura, as long as she was not directly seen by these shadow creatures, her non-shadow creature nature would not be exposed.
This is also known as the Black Secret Realm, and it is also the area where the dark witch’s original tower is located.
If she had not promised Alice, Mary would not have come here to seek death even if she was mad. You know, there are second- and third-level dark witches stationed here for many years, and that is the fourth-level dark witch leader Se
Xi also spends most of the year here.
Even with Mary's fearless character, when she thought of so many high-level wizards, she couldn't help but tremble slightly in her heart.
No one can bear the crime of premeditating to sneak into the place where dark witches originate. Therefore, if Mary does not want to be hunted by dark witches all over the world, then hiding her identity is the only way.
Just when Mary was walking through the gray tree-like shadows, a warning sign suddenly appeared in her heart. Her body flew up lightly, silently clinging to a big gray tree, and then she gently
Squeezed, it blends into the gray shadow of the big tree.
Although her movements were swift and silent, and no breath was leaked, they still inevitably caused a flow of wind elements.
The next second, five shadow mastiffs emerged from the shadows underground, sniffing around with their noses raised. In addition to the strong smell of shadows, there was also a hint of wind element in the air.
Although this is the depth of the Shadow Valley, and the overly rich shadow material repels most of the magical elements in the material world, it is not too strange that a small amount of wind elements sneak in through the gaps in the shadows.
Therefore, the Shadow Mastiffs spread out and patrolled, and when they found nothing, they relaxed their vigilance.
So, with a slight shadow fluctuation, the five shadow mastiffs instantly appeared in another shadow a hundred meters away through shadow jumping, and continued their patrol.
After another long while, when it was confirmed that there was no "disturbance" in the surrounding area, Mary squeezed out from the shadow of the big tree with a slight squirm.
Seriously speaking, this is no longer the wizarding world.
Relying on the powerful power of the witch tower, those dark witches actually caused a small area of plane overlap between the wizarding world and the legendary shadow plane. The overlapping area is the area covered by the shadow jungle in the Nio Valley.
In this way, the dark witches can continuously organize their forces to explore the vast shadow plane, a plane space that is comparable to the wizarding world, and the benefits gained from this are also obvious.
However, as the core hub anchoring the two planes, the original witch tower of the dark witch is always in the process of constant competition between the two planes. Therefore, periodic shadow outbreaks and even raids by the natives of the shadow plane will cause
It has had a considerable negative impact on the stability of Shadow Valley.
With Mary's level 1 vampire wizard's strength, it would be impossible to break into a tightly guarded dark witch's original witch tower. But with Alice here, she can find a way for you in no matter how tight the wall is.
A gap for walking through.
So Mary moved step by step, and it took almost three days to move forward four miles, and she was still two or three miles away from the tall dark tower.
But when she got here, she stopped moving forward. Instead, she found a slightly quiet forest clearing, and squeezed her body into the soil between reality and reality at an extremely slow speed.
From now on, until the wave of shadows breaks out a month later, she must be nailed here like a nail. Without the space turmoil caused by the wave of shadows, she would have no chance of breaking into this dark witch's origin tower.
. Only when the tide of shadow washed and shook this overlapping area did she have the opportunity to take the risk.
Of course, what is the so-called wave of shadows...when will it erupt...Mary knows nothing about these things.
But she doesn't know, but that doesn't mean Alice, who has mastered the Tower of Destiny, doesn't know.
Alice, who is always keeping an eye on the dark tower, has already planned all the rescue arrangements. The only thing missing is a powerful wizard like Mary who has the talent of an assassin.
Alice has made up her mind to rescue the poisonous woman Endo, her only relative.
As for the consequences, she is desperate!
…………
Stonemaul Camp.
This is a large ogre camp located deep in the Black Forest.
The Giant Mallet Mountain where the ogres were entrenched was burned to the ground by Greem last time, and it had become a bare stone mountain. So the ogres simply set up a huge camp on the mountain, sharpening each one, enough for one person.
The entire Giant Hammer Mountain was surrounded by sharp wooden stakes as thick as an arm's length.
The powerful ogre elite warriors, the little boss and the terrifying two-headed ogre wizard naturally live in the heart of the mountain, while most ordinary ogres have built simple shacks on the mountainside and live in them.
.
Due to the lack of planning and layout, each ogre wandered around as he pleased, setting up shacks here and there in various colors, making them look smoky and chaotic.
When the sun rose high, the little ogre leaders came out of the mountain one after another, and while walking towards the tall village gate at the foot of the mountain, they used their thick black feet to kick up those who were sleeping in the open air.
Ogres.
"Get up... get up... get up... all the lazy guys... you don't have much work to do, but you eat a lot. Get up, all the stinky heads and black faces... It's time to go hunting..."
Under its continuous beatings and scoldings, the ogres grumbled and climbed up from the shacks and open spaces, swaying their tall bodies like hills, and followed the little boss, walking down the mountain.
For a time, the entire Shichui camp was filled with tall and strong figures, shouting and scolding everywhere, and it was like a huge market.
There are a total of 87 large and small ogres in this ogre camp. Among them, there are 43 adult male ogres, 22 adult female ogres, 14 underage candidate ogre warriors, and 8 ogre cubs.
indivual.
Although adult male ogres only account for half of the total number, for a savage and ferocious race like ogres, there are no incompetent people in the group who just eat and wait to die. Almost all of them are tyrannical and domineering.
Warriors, even those female ogres or underage ogres, can easily crush the heads of elite human warriors with a wooden stick as thick as a human leg.
In the ogre camp, if any ogre reaches the aging stage and has not died, he will be expelled from the group and become a wandering ogre. Therefore, the ogre camp does not raise useless people who have lost their fighting ability.
person'!
On a high cliff five miles away from Jumaul Mountain, Bliss stood on the top of the cliff, silently watching the black ogre figure rush out of the village gate and disperse into the surrounding black forest.
Different from the bee team, the ogres are organized into a small team of three people. Most of the weapons they use are thick wooden sticks and stone sticks that they grind themselves, and their hunting range is even wider, hundreds of miles. Like those
If an adult ogre runs wildly, he can run seventy or eighty miles in a morning without any problem.
This also fully reflects their strength and physique that are far beyond ordinary people!
Seriously speaking, the ogre is actually a humanoid creature.
Their appearance is like a human being enlarged several times. They are extremely strong and powerful. They are a kind of huge, ugly, and greedy demonized creatures. Although they are strong in body, they have simple minds. Even those adult cannibals
Demons only have the intelligence of a five-year-old human child.
Only those mutated ogre wizards can break through the limitations of intelligence and become a terrifying monster that believes in violence and has a cruel and bloody personality.
An ordinary ogre warrior, according to the wizard's power division method, has 7 points of strength and 9 points of constitution. The two-headed ogre Zach has 11 points of strength and 13 points of constitution, as well as a whopping 4 points.
Spirit.
A spirit of 4 points may only be considered an ordinary wizard among human wizards, but among the ogre clan, he can already be regarded as an enviable person with high IQ!
Billis lowered his head and thought for a moment.
Compared with the ogre, the young stinging scorpion he cultivated has 4 points of strength, 5 points of constitution, and 2 points of spirit.
If we were to go head-to-head with the Yabeis with this kind of data, the young stinging scorpions would still have a considerable advantage. But if they were to have a head-on conflict with the ogres, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to withstand the violent blows of the adult ogres.
It seems that we can only outsmart him!
Billis made up his mind, whistled softly, and turned into a swarm of black insects and rushed down the cliff.
