Chapter 623 Pollution spreads
"How did this...become like this?"
"It''s a plague! Get ready for battle!"
Duanmu Huai held the hammer tightly, walked out of the cave with great strides, and scanned the surroundings. Under the light, you can see animals approaching everywhere, including wolves, deer, even wild boars and rabbits, which live in this forest. However, at this moment, they are all rotten, and there are distortions and stench everywhere.
"Emilia, I advise you to pray for your god''s protection. Once you are infected with the plague, even if you are a Paladin, there is only one way to die!"
“Ah, yes!”
Hearing Duanmuhuai''s orders, Emilia hurriedly lowered her head, held the sword in her hand tightly, and knelt down on the ground and prayed in a low voice.
"Teil, the great **** of justice, please give us the power to stay away from disasters, diseases and evil, so that we can eliminate all evil and protect the lives of innocent people..."
“————!”
The next moment, a beam of light fell from the sky and landed on Emilia. Then Emilia felt a warm feeling begin to flow on her body. She held the sword tightly and stood up. At this moment, the girl''s body began to emit a faint light like a personal light bulb.
“Woo…Shield Technique!”
Compared to Emilia, Lokishi is much more miserable. The wizard of the energy-shaping system basically has no way to protect himself. Fortunately, Lokishi was prepared for her. She raised the staff in her hand, and the next moment, a round force field barrier appeared beside her.
"You guys, please protect me..."
Looking at the aberrant animals outside, Luo Qixi''s voice changed. She didn''t want her to be bitten by this thing!
“Woo woo……”
As for the black bear, he hid in the corner of the cave tremblingly, not even dared to breathe.
Duanmuhuai held the war hammer tightly and stared at the animals around him. They looked like animal versions of zombies, walking shaking, and festering all over his body. This was obviously a manifestation of the transmission of the plague. But...it''s not the time to discuss these issues.
“Go on!”
With Duanmu Huai''s order, the battle began.
Ojisi raised his hands, and the invisible thread spread out quickly, spreading through the woods like a spider web. The animals that were trying to get close were wrapped in silk threads and then easily cut into pieces.
On the other side, Emilia also began to act. She held the sword and shield in her hand and rushed towards the deer in front of her like a thunder. The latter had been completely deformed at this moment - its head was sunken like a rotten watermelon, and the corners on her head were twisted up like coral, and she could even see the twitching brain inside.
To be honest, just watching this scene is enough to make people feel nauseous, and Emilia also suppressed her inner disgust and rushed directly to the other side.
“———!”
Facing Emilia rushing towards her, the giant deer suddenly raised her body high, and then stepped on Emilia with both front hooves. Emilia raised her shield and blocked it hard, preventing Julu''s trampling attack. Then she waved her sword forward with her right hand and stabbed directly into Julu''s body.
"Why?"
However, the moment the sword stabbed in, Emilia realized that something was wrong with her hands. It didn''t feel like it was piercing into the body, but it gave people the feeling more like it was piercing into a piece of soft, rotten cheese, with almost no resistance. However, at this moment, something even more unexpected happened.
The wound that the Giant Deer was stabbed into by the long sword suddenly spread and cracked, and then several slender tentacles, like worms, drilled out directly from it. Not only did they entangle Emilia''s long sword, but they even rushed towards her along the sword body!
“Ice Cone Technique!”
At this moment, Emilia suddenly let out a loud shout behind her, and then Emilia saw a rotating ice cone passing by her, directly hitting Julu''s chest, and knocking him away. Emilia also took advantage of the opportunity to hold the sword tightly and retreated, and looked behind her. She saw that Luo Qixi was stiff in her face, holding a staff in her hand, standing not far behind her.
"Be careful, Miss Emilia."
"Thank you, Miss Lokishi...be careful!"
However, while speaking, Emilia found a rabbit approaching Luo Qixi quietly, then suddenly jumped up, opened her mouth and bit Luo Qixi - and then directly hit the transparent force field barrier.
“Ah———!”
This immediately scared Luo Qixi to scream, not only because of the sneak attack, but also because of the terrifying appearance of the rabbit - through the transparent force field shield, she could clearly see that the cute little white rabbit in front of her had become ferocious at this moment. There were three scarlet eyes on both sides of its head, staring at herself fiercely. Not only that, even the rabbit''s open mouth was equally terrible - it was not an ordinary animal''s opening mouth, but more like a fish opening its entire mouth into a round shape, and it was covered with sharp and sharp teeth that almost extended into the throat!
"Don''t come here!"
Just seeing this scene almost scared Luo Qixi to death. She screamed subconsciously and then raised her staff.
"Smash the sound waves!!"
“————!”
The howling sound wave suddenly burst out, and rushed forward, directly knocking the mutated rabbit into pieces and blowing it away.
At the same time, Duanmu Huai also waved the war hammer and fought with a group of wolves.
This wolf pack has also mutated like other animals, but for Duanmu Huai, how to say it...
What''s wrong with you? You have to change your tentacles. I''m familiar with this thing too!
Looking at the wolf pack with **** mouths in front of her, revealing the tongue that seemed to have morphed into tentacles, Duanmuhuai also wanted to raise his right hand and turn it into tentacles and meet with their fellow villagers.
Look, everyone is a tentacle clan, so it’s better to let us go... It’s weird!
Go to death!
“Boom!”
The warhammer roared past, smashing a wolf''s head into meat sauce. Another wolf took the opportunity to pounce on it and bit Duanmuhuai''s shoulder - but unfortunately it was useless. Duanmu Huai grabbed the other party''s head, then pulled it hard, and tore the wolf''s head off his body. Then Duanmu Huai roared angrily and took a step forward. The black flames burst out with his body as the center, turning into thunder and lightning and spreading into the woods. The animals everywhere fell down and were directly burned to charcoal.
However, it is obviously not just the creatures on the ground that mutate.
“Ga——!”
A group of crows also flew over from the sky. Their feathers had almost lost their virginity. Their wings were twisted and deformed, like expanding blood vessels squirming and curling together. They opened their mouths and thrust towards the ground with screams. Then they became very consciously divided pieces of flesh and blood in the air, and then fell down.
It was not until this time that Ojis silently put down his hands.????It is not a waste of time for everyone to deal with these aberrations. After all, even if they are mutated, they are just animals after all. It is like a human being infected with a virus and becomes a zombie. Most of them are still just the level of ordinary people. It is not said that when anyone becomes a zombie, he will learn the fighting skills without a teacher. Therefore, without much effort, these distortions were wiped out.
But the expressions on Emilia and Lokixi''s faces were not very good-looking. Although the combat intensity was not high, the disgusting degree of disgusting... It is probably the first time they have encountered such a disgusting enemy since they were born.
"This, what exactly is this?"
Holding the staff, Luo Qixi was far away from the monsters'' corpses and dared not get close to them.
“Plague aberration.”
Duanmuhuai walked over with a war hammer and glanced at the corpses around him.
"It seems that this place has been infected."
"But... this is still a distance from Wudong City? And it seems that Wudong City is not so scary."
"It''s far from Wu Winter City, but it''s close to Heim Fortress."
Faced with Luo Qixi''s confusing inquiry, Duanmu Huai shrugged and looked at Emilia.
“Right?”
"Yes, just pass through this woods, across the river is Heim Fortress..."
At this moment, Emilia''s expression became nervous. She also agreed with Duanmu Huai''s words. After all, if this mutant plague spreads in Wudong City, it should not have appeared so far away. And the only place where people gather here is Heim Fortress.
"Then what are you waiting for? Let''s go."
Originally, everyone planned to rest here for one night and rushed to Heim Fortress tomorrow morning. But this happened and no one was left to sleep. The corpses of those aberrant animals were burned by Duanmu Huai, including the woods. Lokishi and Emilia also had their eyes twitching, but they also knew that there was no way. After all, in order to avoid the spread of the plague, this was also necessary.
On the contrary, the black bear is a bit funny.
"I told you not to come with us."
Looking at the black bear holding his legs and snot and tears, Duanmu Huai was speechless.
“Woo woo…”
"It''s useless to cry, okay, hurry up and run south. How far you can run, and whether you can survive depends on your luck!"
“Woo…!”
Finally, the black bear seemed to understand Duanmu Huai''s words and turned around and ran towards the south.
As for how far you can go, it is its own problem.
"Okay, let''s go."
This time, even Emilia did not object. In fact, she now wants to rush to Heim Fortress as soon as possible to check the situation. In case Heim Fortress really falls...
With this idea in mind, Emilia''s heart was also up and down along the way. I don''t know how long it took, and the group passed through the woods and came to the riverside. Soon, they saw the Heim Fortress not far from the other side of the river. Under the dark night, they could see someone patrolling back and forth with torches on the fortress walls, and everything seemed to be very calm.
“Huh……”
Seeing this scene, Emilia was relieved.
"That''s great, Mr. Duanmu, it seems that everything is normal in Heim Fortress."
"hehe."
Facing Emilia''s words, Duanmu Huai just smiled and didn''t say anything.
Soon, everyone crossed the bridge and came to the front of Heim Fortress - and then a voice came.
"Stop, who are you? What''s the matter when you come to Heim Fortress?"
Hearing the other party’s inquiry, Emilia felt even more at ease, and hurriedly stepped forward and answered.
"We are an investigation team from Wudongcheng. We found the spread of the plague in the nearby woods. Let''s report it!"
"What? Is there such a thing?"
Facing Emilia''s answer, the patrol soldiers were also shocked.
"I will report to the commander immediately, please wait!"
After saying this, the soldiers hurriedly turned around and left, while the group stood at the door.
“Huh……”
Emilia was completely relieved at this time and turned to look at Duanmu Huai.
"Mr. Duanmu, look, Heim Fortress is normal, it''s nothing at all... Uh... Mr. Duanmu, what are you going to do?"
However, before Emilia finished speaking, she saw Duanmu Huai strode to the fortress gate, grabbed the warhammer, and then...
"Judgement! Open the door!"
Accompanied by the roar, Duanmu Huai rushed forward and knocked open the closed door of Heim Fortress!
