Probably due to the exciting experiences in the past few times, the team's marching speed was very tacit and did not slow down. Although they still encountered several demon attacks, the mercenaries who had adapted to the demon attacks did not want to fight and tried their best to avoid fighting.
Naturally, the crowd would not be surrounded by low-level demons with limited intelligence. The reason why Liming left the territory of the Orc Empire so smoothly was probably due to two reasons. On the one hand, under his telepathic perception, he found that the closer he got to the Orc Empire.
Internally, there are actually a lot less of these strange abyssal insect swarms. On the other hand, the team has actually shrunk. There is no need to worry too much about burdens, and it will naturally increase a lot faster. It sounds very cold, but in fact,
It was the latter factor that slowed down the mercenaries. Liming himself didn't care much about it. Anyway, he took the time to push and push the mercenaries, just to find a peace of mind for himself. As for holding the world together, he really
, very difficult.
"Finally it's over." The young man found a comfortable position to stretch his body, shook his arms, and relaxed briefly. This is also a mercenary's trick. If you are too tight for a long time, it will be difficult to face sudden battles. These
Seasoned mercenaries have figured out their own rhythm.
"Yes, I was exhausted from taking care of you all the way." Li Ming looked at the gray soil that appeared in front of them, the pools of pale green water with unknown origins, and the familiar giant skeletons that looked like the signature of the undead.
"Bah! That's considered taking care of you?!" The young man rolled his eyes and readjusted his bow and arrow. "You and I should stop hanging around here. We should find an opportunity to go to the city as soon as possible to save my energy.
We’ll see you again someday. Please give me your mercenary code name first. I’ll consider asking about it one day. If I happen to find your relatives, I will definitely take care of them!”
"It sounds so much like a curse word." Liming waved his hand, "Forget it, I don't think you can use it. Besides, I don't have a code name. Just call me Liming."
"..." The other party was silent for a while, "I'm a little sorry, it seems to have touched your sadness, but please don't mind, after all, not everyone is as lucky as me..."
"Come on! If you keep talking, I'm really afraid that you will say the same thing as someone who deserves a slap in the face, although I understand what you want to express!" Li Ming noticed that although the young man said that just now, the atmosphere in the team was really lively.
Less, it seems that these guys are more adapted to the undead than the demonic creatures? The number of strange habits has increased!
"Don't let your guard down! This is the corrupted soil created by the undead. Who knows if you step on it, a zombie will pull you down in the next second, or if you are more lucky to encounter the dead souls of the water silt, they will
Let you experience what it means to live worse than death!" Xue Zhi shouted again as if he was counting the number of people.
"In order to avoid facing the undead army attacking the city head-on, we must take a detour. Disobedient brats, if you underestimate the danger of corrupted soil, you will pay an unbearable price! Also, wait
If we can find a place to take a rest, the original shift order will be maintained
Invalidated, only those with strength above level 4 are qualified to go on night patrol. Although I also know that you second and third level mercenaries will be very angry. Believe me, when you are accidentally penetrated into the body by the spotted demon spider, you will not even understand yourself.
When you can't do it, you will be grateful for the shameful proposal I gave you!" Alto said.
The two main pillars of the team spoke, and the team became quite quiet indeed. Everyone began to be more alert to the dry soil under their feet, which was as dry as arid land. "Puff!" As the group advanced towards the depths of the corrupted soil, the puddles
The small pool of pale green viscous liquid began to make a scalp-numbing bubbling sound. Gradually, they could feel a cold breath quietly invading their bodies, and a terrifying chill made them unconsciously squeeze the water in their hands.
Weapons, dry and cold gray mist began to float, and if you look closely, they seemed to be making faces at everyone. The white mist made the mercenaries who stared closely at it feel like they were in a trance. It didn't look like mist, but it looked like mist.
It's the ghost condensed into
The group used their invisible sight to greedily and eagerly slowly introduce them into their cage. The trivial turning sound of clods of soil made everyone's spirits tense to the extreme, as if countless undead lives would suddenly break into their sight in the next moment.
"There's something!" A mercenary suddenly shouted excitedly. He desperately drew out his long knife, broke away from the team eagerly, and slashed at a piece of green water like crazy. "Chichi!" Everyone saw him following him.
Using a long knife, countless green water droplets splashed out. Balls of burnt and pungent black smoke rose from the surface of the clothes covered with green water droplets. "It's it, it's the enemy."
! Don't just stand there! I really see an enemy! Quick, quick!" He waved the long knife faster and faster, splashing more and more water, and the water droplets finally inevitably touched.
When it came to his face that was not protected by armor, "sizzling" gray-green dark spots quickly corroded his face, and his cheeks quickly became bloated at a speed visible to the naked eye.
He was like a monster haunted by ghosts. Even so, he seemed not to notice anything strange about himself and was still pleading to his companions who started staring at him with frightened eyes, "Hurry, it's coming out, it's going to kill us all."
Killed! How could you watch it come out? You must be bewitched! Only me, only me! I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die
! Break it into pieces! Break it into pieces!" As he exhausted his fighting energy, all the body armor was corroded, and his body had swelled like a corpse that had been soaked in water for a long time. His voice became increasingly muddled, and finally
He fell on the pool, his body exploded, and the bloody stench spread over the spiders whose abdomens were full and their entire bodies were covered in lime-gray spots.
"Squeak!" They frantically gnawed at the broken flesh and blood residue, but they were no longer satisfied with the flesh and blood mud that could not meet their needs. They turned their eight dormant purple-black eyes to the ones who had not yet recovered.
The mercenary team, then a spotted-faced spider took the lead in making a sharp sound, and other spiders rushed towards the flesh and blood feast in front of them.
"Let's do it! I know you have been waiting for this moment for a long time." Xue Stain crossed his arms and said in a hoarse voice.
"Kill!" A mage couldn't wait to finish chanting the spell. The blazing fireball as big as the mouth of a basin wiped out a fuzzy air trajectory and crashed into the unformed group of spotted spiders. "Boom!" The fireball exploded and instantly swallowed the nearest one.
A circle of spotted-faced spiders, and the disgusting burning smoke blows towards them.
"Kill these disgusting undead!" The mercenary holding the sledgehammer rotated the heavy lead hammer in his left hand. Fighting energy condensed on the surface of the hammer to form a shallow layer of Gangqi. "Bang!" The sledgehammer was released as the opponent released it.
They slammed into the spotted-faced spiders that were about to approach them, and the nearest spotted-faced spider lifted up its rear seat.
Up, a bunch of miserable green liquid came towards the hammer body, and "chichi" white smoke quickly rose when the liquid touched the surface of the hammer body, but the hammer body had successfully reached the landing point and crushed several spotted spiders to death.
Pieces of dark green liquid mixed with broken stone armor took over the places where the spiders had been.
"You won't do it?" Liming asked curiously to the young man who raised his long bow and looked around.
"I'm not them! These people are probably just cannon fodder on the undead battlefield!" The young man dismissed it, "They all work for Feist day and night. These people don't realize the crux of the problem at all. The corrupted soil looks better than before.
The territory of the Orc Empire is more difficult to deal with, and those with weak mental strength will be gradually eliminated. Those mercenaries who come back are indeed full of parcels, and maybe some of them are targeting the wealth of dead people!"
"I thought you would be more ambitious." Li Ming whispered.
"After all, the early stage of development is too dangerous. We are not like you. We have invested so many resources since we were born, and you just came to see the situation!" The young man avoided the eyes of Li Ming. "We are all risking our lives to climb up.
The life of a soldier is not as grand as the mercenary competition, but at least compared to other empires where the class is more stable, the mercenary country is not bad, at least you still have a chance to fight."
"Yeah, then I should be happy for myself." Li Ming casually ended this meaningless conversation.
The horror of the corrupted soil seemed to only manifest itself at night. Bloodstain and the others did not lie. In order to avoid attracting the attention of the undead creatures, they did not use magic lamps. Under the gloomy night, the soil under their feet that was peaceful during the day suddenly changed.
Losing temper, "Zhiga"
Squeaking, the half-rotten palms that broke through the soil were grasped at the unfortunate mercenaries who were chosen. They did not appear individually but in groups. If it hadn't been for the blessing of Dawn's power, I'm afraid it would have been difficult to face those fanatical undead beings who shocked the world with their numbers.
Feeling fear, carrion tools
There is corpse poison. Once the body is grasped, it will basically be pulled into the swarm of rotting corpses. In order to avoid the loss of the team, unless it is very necessary, basically once it is caught, it will not be able to break free in time, which declares
The fate of this mercenary being abandoned, under the cover of night
Strangely changing faces appeared in the white mist. They roared and passed through everyone's bodies. The cold wind invaded the whole body, bringing a trembling coldness. They tore their unnecessary vocal cords and howled out noisy syllables. When they gathered in groups,
When Wu Di appears, they are the wailing ghosts.
The dark taboo stone statues that pass over the dark clouds are eager to bathe their bodies with flesh and blood. They use their hard, cold and deformed claws to poke open the bodies of their prey to extract the intoxicating aroma of flesh and blood. They are unconsciously only interested in these moving blood-eating creatures.
Desperate for death, when these gargoyles appeared like falling stars,
When the monster's body hit everyone from the sky, Alto took action. The crackling thunder surged into a chain of thunder links, channeling the gargoyles. The soul flames hidden in their bodies that were as indestructible as steel were powerfully wiped out.
, the thick body that lost control naturally disintegrated in the air and turned into filthy mud.
"Crack" Everyone gathered around the rare gray-brown soil to rest, watching the mercenaries gobbling up the food. The youth and Li Ming watched silently, unable to directly build a two-story bonfire like they did in the mercenary camp.
The flames were so weak that they could barely illuminate everyone's faces clearly.
"Frankly speaking, the reason why the orcs are not invaded by the undead power is really about courage, right?" Liming observed the mercenaries' fighting rhythm along the way and thought that he might also try to pause meditation to see if it would improve his reaction speed.
But Qian clearly wasn't Liming's style, so Liming took aim at the peaceful orcs on the road.
"Courage?" The tiger-men tribe's tiger eyes narrowed, "This is actually a racial advantage of the orcs. We seem to be born with no fear. Maybe the undead are very restrained by us in this aspect."
"..." Liming looked at the tiger tribe with longing eyes. The latter seemed to feel a little embarrassed and avoided Liming's sight. Liming was inconvenient to ask further questions.
"You feel like you've seen a lot along the way, why don't you tell me about it?" Liming changed the target again.
"Well, I have a rumor," the young man's expression was a little unnatural. Liming followed the other person's eyes and saw that the tiger tribe and the others were discussing something in a low voice. Liming immediately moved towards the young man and disguised himself.
After widening the distance between them and the orcs, the young man hesitated for a moment, and finally, with the blessing of the Dawn Weakness Technique, he said, "Do you know where the orcs originated?"
"Pfister? The original empire area of the Dwarf Empire?" Liming said.
"Actually, it's the far north. The original Silivia is now the third principality. It's also the land where the legendary Titans live." The young man lowered his voice, "There is a saying on the mainland that actually the origin of necromancy magic is Silivia. Death
The first recognized taboo spell book in spiritual magic, "The Illustrated Book of Bizarre Creatures" was compiled by a human race born in Silivia. You must not be familiar with the name of this book I am talking about now, but if it is its alias "
"Elementary Undead Creature Illustrated Book", then you will understand it very well."
"You said orcs and necromancy originated from the same place?" Dawn narrowed her eyes.
"I'm not very clear on the specific facts, but since this rumor has been circulating for so long, I'm afraid there is some explanation. If you are interested, you might as well return to your Kista and go to the Eternal Library to look for specific information.
, anyway, you mages must be familiar with these things!
I have a bold guess. It’s not certain that the real source of necromancy magic is not created by humans, but by the orcs! Do you think, who is so bold and dares to approach these weird beings that are killing us every minute? That is, born
Only beasts with weak brains would do it!" The young man curled his lips.
"Maybe some people are very courageous," Liming said in a deep voice, "The human heart is the most immeasurable existence!"
"What the hell! You don't have as much experience as my mercenaries? You mages can only talk so much!" The young man felt his body getting heavier but a little depressed. Finally, under the arrogant gaze of Dawn, he was forced to retract his previous words.
