Chapter 664 Interlude (I’m asking for a monthly vote at the end of the month)
Duanmuhuai ignored one thing, that is, while he was running around to enhance his strength, the evil gods were also not idle. Even if the corpse in front of me becomes swollen and disgusting due to the blessing of the kind father, it can be clearly seen that it is an alien race. From this, it can be seen that a certain planet must have suffered from corrupt and dirty hands.
Well, this is not surprising. The Milky Way is so big that both sides are working hard to mine and upgrade their operations, but Duanmuhuai and Corrupted Dirt are now attracted by the same mine.
Duanmu Huai opened the black flame without hesitation, swept away the ore and all the mutant creatures in the entire mine cave, and then he started contacting.
“Aikot!”
"Ah, uncle, here!"
"What''s the current situation of the fleet?"
"Uh... Only the First Fleet can attack at present, and the rest are all under maintenance..."
"Send a reconnaissance fleet to my side! Also, let Maria and Kukulu speed up the maintenance progress! Remember, the action should be hidden and avoid being discovered!"
“Ah, it’s…!”
The only luck is that this world is called "Crystal Wall", which is a unique "natural phenomenon" unique to the Feren continent. According to Feren''s setting, in the "main matter plane" of the real world, many worlds separated from each other are included. A world may be just a planet, or it may be a complete information including planets, satellites, asteroids, comets, and stars. Every world is sealed in a bubble-like crystal wall. If you want to cross the crystal wall to reach other planes, you can only cross the Phosphin Sea.
It is precisely because of this that Duanmu Huai concluded that it was obvious that this should not be the arrival of the Chaos Army, but more like a temptation and reconnaissance. After all, under the protection of the crystal wall, the Chaos Fleet could not enter. And this guy probably appeared here in some way - well, thinking of the plague in Winter City before, could it be...
Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai''s eyes lit up.
Are these guys planning to use this method to weaken Feiron''s crystal wall and then directly descend?
The more Duanmu Huai thought about it, the more he felt that this was very likely, but he did not want his guess to be true, because it means that outside Feilun''s crystal wall system, there was probably a whole chaotic fleet waiting to rush in and have a feast.
This is definitely not good news for the Inquisition, which has just finished fighting with the universe monster and has been severely damaged.
Of course, if you want to tell good news... What comes is the corruption and not the treacherous trick, it makes Duanmu Huai breathe a sigh of relief. Of course, it would be even better if it comes with the tyrannical rage.
Head-to-head, such as Duanmu Huai’s appetite is the most suitable.
As for the evil of obsession... it''s better and cooler, Duanmu Huai doesn''t even want to take a look at it.
Of course, Duanmu Huai would not consider whether this is a treacherous idea of ??digging a tiger away from the mountain to attract attention and causing trouble. He was too lazy to waste brain cells on the group of idiots with a lot of joy in the nerves. Duanmu Huai only believed what he saw in front of him, then made a decision, and then called him!
Nothing else matters!
At the same time, in the lost land, there are also people who are acting for similar goals.
“Woo……”
The corrupt, smelly monster roared and rushed forward, then fell head-on into the muddy ground. The elf ranger in the head frowned and looked at the monster corpse in front of him, without any concealing his inner anger.
"What a blasphemy it is to do such an outrageous act?!"
The one lying in front of the elf ranger was a wild sheep living in the lost land. However, now it has completely lost its original posture and has become a rotten, smelly and disgusting monster.
"Has it turned into some kind of undead creature?"
The mage next to him held a staff in his hand and looked at the corpse with a serious expression.
"No."
At the same time, a paladin holding a long sword and a shield came over.
"Heim''s holy power is useless to it, it''s not an undead."
"But... if it''s not an undead creature, then what is this?"
“…………”
Faced with this question, no one answered it for a while, and at this moment, suddenly, a small figure appeared quietly beside them.
"Hey! Are you still stunned here?"
"Little girl, where have you gone again?"
Looking at the half-length wanderer in front of her, the Paladin showed a dissatisfaction expression. Although she helped her and others a lot, she would disappear without a trace every time she fought, called "patrol around", but everyone knows the timid nature of half-length... I just hope she doesn''t run too far.
"I discovered something strange, which is likely the culprit of all this!"
"oh?"
Hearing the half-ling wanderer''s words, everyone was immediately excited. The reason why they came here was because recently, many mutated beasts appeared on the edge of the Supreme Forest. They seemed to have been cursed and became unrecognizable. Even the land where they were located was polluted after death, and even the green trees were not spared. Therefore, these people took action and organized a team to go deep into the lost land to try to investigate the truth.
But since entering the Lost Land, the team has only seen countless mutated monsters. The wild beasts that originally lived in this area have been completely reversed and changed by an evil force, turning into hideous, distorted, and even not like living creatures.
And now……
“Take us to see.”
The paladin quickly looked like a small expression, put away his long sword, and looked at the half-length wanderer, who nodded, and then jumped and took them towards the depths of the wilderness.
Under the leadership of the Halfling, the adventurers passed through the nearby woods and came to a nearby high ground, then lay on the ground and looked forward as the Halfling pointed.
"Look, that''s it."
As they spoke, the half-ling pointed his finger forward, and everyone looked up, and then they saw an unimaginable scene.
Not far below the high ground, there is a ruin. Judging from the appearance, it should be the remains of the former temple. At this moment, there are hundreds of kowtowers standing on this site, holding simple weapons in their hands and shouting excitedly. Standing in front of them was a zombie wizard with feathers on his head. It shook its arms and jumped and shouted loudly.
“God, give, strength!”
"We are happy!"
"Good! Hiss!"
Under the leadership of the wizard, the dog-headed people also shouted loudly. Then the dog-headed wizard turned around, looked at the ruined temple in front of him, and knelt on the ground.
"God! Give it, strength!"
“Dong…dong…dong…dong…dong…dong…dong…dong…dong…dong…dong…dong
Soon, a deep footstep sounded, and then the adventurers saw a tall figure walking out of the ruins of the temple. Its figure looks as tall as a giant, wearing dark green all over its body, and it looks thick and sturdy armor, but these armors are very dirty. Not only that, even the steel warrior''s abdomen is bulging high, looking like he has gained weight.
The entire armor was covered with rotten flesh and blood, and there were even many flies flying around it, just like the warrior in front of him was a walking rotten piece of meat.
He walked to the group of dogheads and looked at them silently. At this moment, the dogheads began to tremble under the gaze of this strange warrior, and instinctively lowered their heads and knelt on the ground.
Then, the strange green warrior suddenly raised his hand. The next moment, with his movements, countless flies roared out of his body, directly surrounding the dog-headed men. The flies and insects ruthlessly tear open the dog''s skin and penetrated into their bodies. Soon, the dog-headed people began to scream and fell to the ground, rolling desperately, as if they were enduring some unimaginable pain.
The purgatory-like scene in front of them has already terrified the adventurers, but what happened next makes them unable to believe their eyes.
The bodies of those short and thin dog-headed men began to gradually expand, and pieces of carrion floated up from them like sponges and spread. In the blink of an eye, the originally thin little monsters turned into fat pigs that seemed to be able to walk. However, their bodies were still covered with sores and blood. Not only did the wounds not heal, they were torn and pulled apart during the expansion process, and the decaying flesh inside rushed out like ragged cotton. Then you could see large patches of maggots falling from them like tides.
“Woo———!”
The mage covered his mouth and turned his head. The others were not much better. They had never seen such a blasphemy, such a terrifying, and such a disgusting scene.
"What the **** is that guy? Is he a devil from hell?" "The devil cannot stay in the main plane for a long time, but..."
As the mage spoke, he raised his head again and looked down. However, at this moment, they saw the green-armored warrior holding up a square-looking black box in his hand, facing their direction.
“That’s…”
“Bang!”
Before the mage could figure out what was going on, a roar broke out, and then her head suddenly exploded like an apple. The headless corpse that had lost her head shook for a moment, and then fell backwards.
"We were discovered, go quickly!"
The adventurers didn''t even have time to mourn their companions, and the next moment they turned around and ran away - now their only task is to leave here and report everything they saw. Only in this way can the evil that swept the land completely stop!
“Dongdongdongdong——”
However, soon they heard the sound of demonic footsteps coming from behind them.
"It''s catching up!"
Everyone turned their heads and saw that the huge dark green figure had already crossed the hillside and rushed towards them. It''s so fast that it can''t even react.
“Damn it!”
Soon, another barbarian warrior seemed unable to bear to escape. He suddenly turned around and raised his sword with his hands, shouting loudly as his guardian saint and rushed towards the green giant. However, the next moment, with the thunderous explosion sounded again, the barbarian''s body was directly beaten into a sieve, turning into a pile of meat scattered on the ground, and the green giant stepped on his body and continued to move forward.
"Bang bang bang bang bang bang!!"
This deafening sound made the adventurers'' scalp numb, and they almost ignored the Elf Ranger''s warning.
"Enter the forest! Enter the forest!!"
Hearing the elf ranger''s words, the remaining adventurers rushed into the forest - and at the same time, the terrifying voice stopped.
"Damn it, what the **** is that?"
Another soldier cursed in a low voice and threw the shield in his hand aside. The shield made of pure gold had been punched out of several holes. It was like a rotten wooden board at the moment, which was useless at all.
"What he is holding is even better than artillery!"
“Now is not the time to say this.”
The Paladin shook his head.
"We must leave here. In any case, we must tell the queen what happened here. This wilderness has been shrouded in evil! We can do nothing alone!"
"But how do we escape that guy''s search?"
The halfling said in a low voice, they all saw the speed of the monster, which was far beyond their imagination. If the Elf Ranger hadn''t been familiar with the forest, they would probably not have been able to escape from the other party''s pursuit now.
But this is also temporary, because they could hear the heavy footsteps gradually approaching - mixed with disgusting stench and buzzing sounds.
"There are only two groups of troops, attracting his attention one by one, and taking the opportunity to leave the other."
The Paladin finally made a decision and looked at the Elf Ranger and the Halfling.
"Go back and report, we are responsible for delaying the monster''s pace!"
"Can………"
"We are not elves familiar with the forest, nor are we good at hiding like the halflings. If we go together, we will be caught up by him sooner or later! But now, we can lure him to another direction, and you can take the opportunity to leave! Go quickly! There is no time!"
“…………”
No one talked too much, the halfling and the elf ranger looked at each other and nodded.
Then the paladin and the remaining warrior turned around and ran towards the depths of the forest, while the elf ranger grabbed the half-length.
"Come with me! Don''t talk!"
Watching the elf and halfling disappear into the woods, the paladin breathed a sigh of relief. He held the sword tightly and kissed the holy emblem on it.
"May Luo Shanda protect me until the last moment."
“Haaa.”
Looking at the Paladin''s actions, the warrior next to him chuckled.
"If Luo Shanda really appears, he should immediately come out with a thunder to kill the monster!"
"You don''t understand."
The paladin shook his head and put away the holy badge.
“This is faith.”
"I just know that when a person dies, nothing will be gone."
The soldier held the battle axe in his hand tightly and lowered his voice.
"But it''s a pity, it seems we''re going to die here."
“…………”
The paladin didn''t say anything. He held his sword tightly and hid behind the rock, while the warrior hid on the other side. They could hear footsteps getting closer and closer. Then—the paladin jumped up and raised the holy sword in his hand.
"Luoshanda, please give me shining light and destroy the enemy!"
The dazzling holy light burst out from the sword with the paladin''s roar, which even made the green warrior stop. At the same time, the warrior ran out from behind, roared and raised the battle axe, and chopped down hard at the green armored warrior''s mutated and ugly right claw that was not covered by armor.
“Puchi———!”
The blade cut into the green armored warrior''s arm, but did not get the response as he deserved. The arm looked extremely thick, and the hole cut by the warrior''s fierce blow was covered with the rolling and surging pieces of flesh in just a moment. Before he could react, the green armored warrior raised his left hand and waved it hard.
The whistling sickle turned into a whirlwind, blowing everything around him away, and the Paladin was no exception. He only felt a powerful force rushing towards him, and then he flew backwards the next moment, breaking several tree trunks along the way before falling to the ground. However, the Paladin could no longer climb up at this moment. He could feel that his bones had broken, and even the armor on his body was broken into pieces and pierced into his flesh and blood.
And the last thing the Paladin saw at this moment was the scene where the green giant stepped towards him.
Hope... they can leave safely.
This is the last thing the Paladin thought about before losing consciousness.
