I cannot accept your invitation. "My face suddenly changed, and I looked anxiously apologetically at Lyman.
"What happened, kid?"
Seeing my look, Lyman knew something big must have happened.
"Well, we have a problem here. I'm sorry. I have to rush over first. Please apologize to your Queen and the Great Elder on my behalf."
Saying this, without waiting for Lyman to say anything, I hurriedly explained a few words to Princess Sanwu, then summoned Xiaoxue to leave alone. Along the way, I passed by the adventurers outside the teleportation station. As they passed by, they also showed worried looks. It seemed that they had learned the news from the mercenary earlier than I did.
"Master Wu Fan, Lucia and the others got the news and have already gone to investigate before you." When Xiaoxue passed by Kurt, he shouted loudly behind me.
Damn it, what kind of trouble is this little fox causing me? Doesn’t she know the seriousness of the matter? In my anxiety, I heard that Lucia ran after her regardless of her severity. I just wanted to catch her and hang her on a tree to dry out for three days and three nights.
While I was on my way, I unfolded the detailed manuscript handed over by the mercenary and read it word for word. I suddenly had the feeling that the thing that worried me most had happened.
According to the detailed report in the handwritten note just now, in the area responsible for the fifth team of the second brigade, which is about a hundred kilometers away from here in a gently sloping mountain forest, mercenaries responsible for intelligence have disappeared one after another. First, a mercenary While delivering information, he accidentally passed by that area and suddenly lost the message. The other mercenaries who were responsible for contacting him were surprised and entered the area to search, and then lost the message again, just like a chain reaction. . Since then, dozens of mercenaries trying to find their partners have disappeared in that area. The exact number is not clearly stated in the handbook, but according to the above records, there are at least thirty or forty.
After reading the last word. I just felt like my scalp was exploding, and there seemed to be something stuck in my heart that couldn't be vented. Even my breathing became heavy. I threw the scroll with red eyes, and the next moment, an enhanced version of the volcano burst out of the ground. The letter in mid-air was reduced to ashes, and the sound of the erupting magma turbulent in the air made the surrounding beasts, large and small, panic and run away with fear. This violently roaring volcanic explosion is the best explanation of my current mood. explain.
These idiots, how many times have I told them before setting off, not to act on their own in case of emergencies, but to stay put and report promptly. Just to prevent serious situations from happening, why can't they listen?
Four ghost wolves and lazy crows launched an all-out search. I always find individual Alliance adventurers along the way. Under their guidance. Although I took some detours. But at least I wasn't lost. And at the same time. These adventurers were also given tasks by me. Be on guard outside that area. No more adventurers are allowed to set foot inside.
That night. I arrived at my destination. Still on the periphery. A faint aura of the hell clan coming from afar startled me. This evil aura seems familiar. Before I could recall it. A dozen adventurers came out of the forest opposite. They all greeted me. Take a closer look. Most of them are assassins and Amazons.
"Is everyone okay?"
See these career changers. My tense heartstrings finally relaxed a little. I have made several inquiries. Only then did I realize that these adventurers had also heard the news. Then they rushed over from each brigade as a vanguard force. Fortunately, their heads were still clear. After learning from the past. They were not in a hurry to go inside and look for the missing adventurers. Instead, he waited for other teammates to arrive. We plan to wait for a strong force to be gathered before taking collective action.
"You have done a good job. But you do not need to participate in this search. It is urgent. Now, on behalf of the alliance, I beg you. Search the outside first. Stop those rash brothers from entering. Then lead your team. Is it okay to leave?”
do not know why. I always have a bad feeling. This ominous feeling is like a pair of evil giant eyes in the sky. They are coveting us. Set traps one after another waiting for us to arrive. Now a lot of adventurers have been lost. Much more than I originally expected. I can't let the remaining adventurers take risks anymore. As a person in charge. I have to take this responsibility.
"Lord Fan, your words are serious. Since it is your order, we will just do it."
These dozen adventurers looked at each other, obviously not knowing why I gave such an order. According to their point of view, they should wait for other adventurers to gather together and form a huge force before starting the search together.
"By the way, did you see Lucia, the smaller, very beautiful female assassin who was in the ring that time?"
After taking a few steps, I suddenly stopped and turned around to ask the adventurers who were about to disperse. I was afraid that they didn't know them, so I described it carefully. However, it was obvious that I was overly concerned. From now on, there probably won’t be many adventurers in Kurast who don’t know Lucia.
"I just arrived and I didn't see Miss Lucia along the way. How about you?"
More than a dozen adventurers looked at each other and shook their heads in the end. However, the eyes they looked at me revealed ambiguity. It was obvious that they had misunderstood something. Forget it, I don’t have time to explain to them now. After getting the disappointing answer, , I immediately drove Xiaoxue to start patrolling the outside of the area. It was already dark now, and the search work would be extra difficult. It was better to cooperate with other adventurers to persuade the adventurers who kept coming to disperse.
Throughout the night, I walked around the perimeter. The closer I got to the center, the thicker the evil atmosphere became. It was like a beacon, so I didn’t have to worry about losing my way in the forest at night. During this period, I encountered several people. The wave of adventurers had the same idea as the first group of adventurers. While waiting for the support of their teammates, they scouted the periphery in twos and threes. Naturally, I persuaded these adventurers to go back without mercy.
Didn't sleep all night. When dawn came the next day, when I thought all the adventurers had left this area, I suddenly saw a few adventurers that made my heart skip a beat.
It's White Wolf and the others!
Several people had more anxious expressions on their faces than I did, and they seemed to be planning to go deep inside, when the sharp-eyed white wolf noticed my arrival. The leader immediately responded.
"Why are you alone, Lucia?"
I saw that there were only three of them, White Wolf, Cook, and Malagby, except for Lucia. His face suddenly became ugly.
When I asked him this unceremoniously, the three people's heads immediately lowered, and finally Bai Lang spoke.
"Lucia is faster than us, so she probably got inside first."
"asshole!!"
Xiaoxue's figure flew past a hurricane and was brought in front of them. Before the three of them could react, I had already leaned down from Xiaoxue's back, grabbed the skirt of Bai Lang's clothes with one hand, and easily lifted his entire body into the air.
"Do you know what you are talking about? What are you doing?" I stared closely at the man who was lifted up by me. But there was no struggle in the white wolf's eyes, and he did not hide the violence in his eyes.
"I know."
The white wolf who was tightly bound by me reluctantly raised his head and looked at me, his eyes were very calm.
"You know shit."
Seeing that damn look in his eyes made me furious. With one hand, he threw him completely out. With a "pop" sound, the white wolf's body hit a big tree violently like a bow and bullet, and then bounced back to the ground. The two of them hugged each other. The big tree was nearly broken by his powerful impact.
"Lord Fan!"
When the other two people saw the white wolf's appearance, they screamed and were about to step forward, but they hadn't taken a few steps. Their eyes suddenly darkened. Four ferocious ghost wolves have tightly surrounded them.
"You know? You know shit, do you know? At least forty or fifty mercenaries have disappeared inside. Do you know? Do you know that you let Lucia go alone? Is this your love for Lucia?"
Ignoring the other two people, I stared firmly at the white wolf on the ground. The whole body exudes a fierce aura.
"You are so disappointing to me. After the last conversation, I have always thought of you and you two. I have always admired your selfless love for Lucia without asking for repayment. I even sincerely hoped for your love." It can blossom and bear fruit. I was wrong and watched her die alone. Is this your love? You are slandering my thoughts and yourselves!!"
"Lord Fan, listen to me first."
Wiping away a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth, Bai Lang showed a bitter smile: "Lucia has her own unique skills to save her life. She will be fine."
"Life-saving skills, what life-saving skills does she have?" I couldn't help but be stunned when I heard Bai Lang's abrupt explanation, and the anger on my face temporarily solidified.
"I don't know either. Lucia only said that this is a secret skill passed down from her clan, and she didn't say anything else. But thanks to her secret skill, we were able to escape the threat of death several times. .”
"I have never heard of any race that has its own skills. Even if they are as powerful as the Horadric clan, they still have to learn the wizard's own skills step by step."
I looked at Bai Lang coldly, trying to find a trace of panic in his eyes, but he was so calm and collected from the beginning to the end. The other two people also nodded at the same time, indicating that Bai Lang's words were indeed true.
"Okay, even if what you say is true, Lucia really has the so-called life-saving skills, but is it absolutely safe? Do you know who the enemy is this time? How strong is it? I don't know, why? Can you be sure that she is safe?"
"I believe in him."
At this time, Bai Lang stood up from the ground, faced my stern eyes, and said firmly and confidently, and the other two people also nodded.
Seeing these three people, I finally understood the fact that they indeed loved Lucia deeply. Their love was doting and indulgence.
"What you believe is useless. Do you have confidence that the enemy will be soft and afraid? Nothing in this world is absolute." I took back my aggressive momentum and sighed.
"Loving someone does not mean blindly trusting the other person or indulging the other person. I think you really need to change your attitude towards Lucia. Forget it, even if I say this, you probably won't listen, so I won't waste time by being wordy. , leave Lucia to me, you three, hurry back to the Elf King City first. The strength of the enemy this time is beyond your imagination, I’m afraid..."
I looked far away towards a bare low mountain dozens of miles away. The waves of surging breath were emanating from the inside. It was so powerful that I couldn’t help but breathe even though I was dozens of miles away. difficulty.
Look at the figure of the other party leaving quickly. The white wolves looked at each other, and thoughts of fear finally emerged in their hearts.
"Is there really something wrong with Lucia?" Wizard Cook looked into the depths of the forest with a fearful expression. Inside, there was a vague aura that he couldn't name, but that made people shudder.
"Perhaps Mr. Fan is right, we trust Lucia's ability too blindly." After thinking for a long time, White Wolf showed a look of self-blame.
"What should we do now?" Malagby couldn't help but ask.
"It turned out to be our fault for indulging Lucia. Even if we lose this old life, we must get her back." The white wolf looked solemn, and the three of them looked at each other with firm expressions.
When Bai Lang and the others decided to go deeper, I had already stepped into the envelope of the non-evil aura. Once upon a time, I was still slightly lucky, that is, the elves would send their masters to destroy this unknown and powerful enemy. But now, I am disappointed. As expected, people can only rely on themselves.
"Lucia, little fox, where are you?"
In a forest filled with trees and leaves. I turned around. Not only did I shout loudly, I was not afraid that my voice would attract the unknown enemy. Anyway, sooner or later there will be a battle against the riot gene suppressed in the deepest part of the soul. It has allowed me to enter a fighting state at any time, and if I can lure the opponent over, it may be that the safety of Lucia, who is hiding somewhere, will be a little more secure.
Suddenly, the running Xiaoxue slowed down, lowered his head and sniffed with his nose, which surprised me. I must have discovered Lucia's breath.
Finally, it stopped, next to a body buried deep in the grass.
This was a male corpse that was curled up tightly and its entire body had begun to decay. Looking from above, all one could see was the fearful and twisted face, as if he had seen something incredible before he died.
Taking a deep breath, I endured the pain and anger in my heart, and leaned down to gently turn the body up. The moment the body was opened, a fatal wound - from the left side of the chest to the back. It was completely penetrated, leaving a shocking hole about two decimeters in diameter, which seemed to remind people of the cruel scene of a giant hand passing through his chest and grabbing out her hot beating heart.
In addition, there were signs of being burned all over his body. Upon closer inspection, he found that a piece of blue chain mail on his body had turned into a living black, especially the chest area near Beidong Chuan, which had been burned to a crisp. Coke, and the durability of this chain mail has also dropped to 2 points. If it is not taken to the blacksmith for repairs, it is probably unusable.
In the end, I finally concluded that the mercenary had been dead for at least three days. The enemy who killed him was probably very tall, because the shape and size of the hole was thicker than a barbarian's arm, and the attack contained a strong Fire damage, instead, is a one-hit kill.
When I took off the equipment from the corpse and was about to bury it, I suddenly found that the corpse's right hand was tightly holding it. Before I turned it over, the corpse was curled up tightly, as if it was protecting it. This right hand.
What important thing is he holding in his hand? I clenched the fist of my right hand and found that the five fingers were clenched extra hard. I couldn't apply any more strength. It must have started to rot. With a little more force, the tightly bent fingers were all gone. The root was broken, and the hand opened up. A small ball of Zha was held into wrinkles and covered with rancid blood, and fell to the ground.
I seemed to remember something, my breath suddenly suffocated, and the right hand that picked up the little Zha shook involuntarily, and I unfolded the little Zha tremblingly, and a few lines of crooked and even blurry handwriting came into my eyes.
"On the 31st day, the third team and the fifth team had a quarrel with the elves during the operation in the originally planned area. Fortunately, both parties restrained themselves and no fight broke out."
The few dozen simple words above made the pain in my eyes that I had been holding back burst out. A gloomy feeling of sorrow and anger mixed with pride and regret suddenly rose from the bottom of my heart, breaking through my throat like a rock.
"ah--------!!!"
The sad voice coming from the depths of my soul kept tearing at my throat, transforming into endless shouting, yes. This is the most important thing he was trying to protect at the moment he died. This is the warrior I am proud of!
No matter who kills him, I, Druid Wu Fan, will make him pay a hundred times a thousand times! !
The sound echoed in the forest for a long time, until after a few minutes, it became hoarse. Then it gradually weakened. I wiped my wet face and solemnly put away the bloody Zha in my hand. Then I simply dug a hole on the spot and buried the body. A lonely fresh grave was quietly erected. It is located in a remote corner of the forest, as simple and inconspicuous as it is. Moreover, there are countless solitary graves that have long been forgotten in the entire Dark Continent. Just such a solitary grave has condensed the helpless fate of adventurers for thousands of years.
same day. I discovered several more corpses one after another, and then helped bury them one by one. From anger, to anger again and again, now, I have left anger, maybe I have made up my mind, just like the moment before the war started, I Instead, there was peace in the heart of the earth. Yes. Sad, angry. Regret, there is no need for this anymore. Because I have already sworn that even if the person in front of me is Baal's true body, I will raise my fist and hit it hard.
The enemy didn't seem to be in a hurry. I guessed that he might have discovered me. After all, I had been wandering around its territory for a whole day. It felt like it was observing me with interest like an ant looking down at me. every move.
I am not in a hurry, because the adventurers around me have already been driven back to the Elf King City by me. Except for the little fox, the longer time passes, the lower the chance of her survival, so I am determined Damn, if I can't find her within two days, I will give up.
God seemed to favor this little fox. On the evening of the second day, when I was disappointed and planned to give up the search, eat a full meal, have a good sleep, and then fight to the death with the enemy early the next morning, at this time, Xiaoxue I found her with my keen nose.
The moment I saw her, I almost couldn't believe my eyes - it was too simple, she was lying under a tree beside a small stream. If I had followed the water source to find it at first, , I guess she has been found a long time ago, but now is not the time to talk about this, because the little fox is in a very inappropriate state. When she was found, her originally pretty face was already extremely haggard, and her face became whiter than white. She was still going to fail miserably. A trace of dried blood hung on the corner of her purple lips. Her hands were tightly covering her abdomen. The blood that was still dripping from her abdomen stained the already red ground beneath her even more. Bright red, those eyes were barely squinted, they had fallen into a trance and were about to fall down at any moment.
It's a lacerated wound! !
I hurried over and without saying a word picked up a bottle of rejuvenating potion and slowly drank it into her lips. Then I gently pulled her arms apart, and a shocking bowl-shaped wound appeared on her beautiful abdomen. Presented in front of our eyes, even the intestines inside are vaguely visible.
Healing!
A milky white light emerged from her hands and slowly covered her abdomen. For this purpose, if the wound tearing property is not cured, it will be useless to use multiple potions. What kind of terrifying move is this? The wounds that caused such a long-lasting split lasted at least a whole day, judging from the blood stains accumulated on the ground.
The priest's healing skills were indeed extraordinary. Within a short while, the bright red wound on his abdomen began to slowly solidify. As long as the wound was torn and removed, the remaining wounds would quickly heal without me having to do anything.
At this time, the little fox's drooping eyelashes seemed to tremble slightly, and after a while, a breathless moan came from her dry and white lips.
"So... warm, are you a bad guy? Are you finally... here? I knew... you would come to save me..."
In the haze, Lucia saw a familiar silhouette, and she couldn't help but curl her lips. It had been a whole day since she was seriously injured. With her strong will, Lucia stayed awake and continued to replenish the medicine. It has only been supported until now. If it were any other adventurer, the sleepiness caused by excessive blood loss and serious injuries would have caused him to faint long ago, and then wait for the arrival of death.
"Stop talking, I'll settle the score with you later." I frowned and shouted coldly.
"Anyway... I'm already your... person. You can do whatever... you want... hehe... cough cough----"
She seemed to be in a better spirit, and her mouth became sharper. Unexpectedly, her smile just touched the wound again, and large mouthfuls of blood coughed out from her mouth. It looked as if her life was not long, but I knew that as long as she was cured, With the property of tearing wounds, and with the tyrannical system of career changers, no matter how hard she coughs, she can't kill anyone.
I sighed and finally put down the cold mask. I originally wanted to teach her a lesson, but why did I not do it to this little fox?
"I told you to stop talking, idiot. Come on, if you have the energy, go ahead and drink by yourself."
Putting one hand on her lower abdomen, I freed up my other hand and took out a bottle of rejuvenation potion, and handed it to her angrily,
The little fox smiled sweetly, took the bottle with his weak hands, like a baby holding a milk bottle, put it into his mouth and sucked the liquid inside, while looking at me restlessly with unclear eyes. every move.
"Bad guy, you gave these two potions to me, I won't pay for them." I rolled my eyes, it was so late and I was still in the mood to joke.
"Bad guy, why are you pressing your hands on my belly? It's itchy and so warm. Is this the man's big hand that grandma said? It's glowing. What kind of skill is this?"
I regret it very much. I should have known that I should have knocked this little fox unconscious and then treated it.
With the three-pronged approach of rejuvenation potion, priest's skill life recovery, and healing, the property of tearing wounds was finally successfully eliminated. I wiped off a cold sweat and watched with a sense of accomplishment as my face gradually started to turn red. The little fox got up, feeling peaceful in his heart. As expected, the profession of priest is a master, whether it is healing other people's bodies or healing one's own soul.
At this moment, Lucia, who had persisted all day, suddenly felt her whole body relax, and the endless fatigue suddenly overwhelmed her brain. Suddenly, she felt a gentle "pop" in her soul, as if something was being broken. Her face suddenly became panicked, but she could no longer resist the invasion of sleep, and had to fall asleep with a panicked expression.
However, from my perspective, I saw an incredible scene. The fainted little fox's whole body flashed with white light, and then, from behind her butt, one...two...three...
Actually grew three fluffy fox tails? ! ! !
