A temporary camp.
The camp is located among a group of rock piles.
The rocks with a height of two to three meters were piled up here and there, looking chaotic, but they could bring a sense of security to the homeless in the camp.
The forest is foggy and wet.
Although it was already late at night, the travelers who slept in the rocks did not light a bonfire to drive away the moisture, and no one wanted to talk. In the shadow of the black boulder, three or five adventurers wrapped their bodies with thick animal skins and felt rolls, trying to make themselves fall asleep.
However, the scene they saw during the day was too shocking, so it became difficult for everyone in the camp to fall asleep.
"Xiro, do you think we can go back alive?" Hunter Poole gently poked his village partner beside him, and asked in the lowest voice.
Ciro was an archer, and he was already the best archer in their former village.
Shiro turned over and did not answer his companion's question.
However, through the physical contact just now, Poole vaguely noticed that his companion was trembling slightly. However, he didn't ask his companion why, because at this moment, his body was also trembling uncontrollably.
The tall and terrifying fire man like a demon, the terrifying loud noise that shook the entire forest, the monstrous flames that devoured the sky and the earth... It was that easy, two master knights and three or five mercenaries were buried in the sea of flames and became evil wizards The new wronged soul under his command.
And those characters are probably all countless times stronger than him!
Whenever he thinks back to the scene he saw lying on the treetop in the afternoon, Poole feels his soul tremble. It was as if... as if he had become the master knight engulfed in violent flames, and the only thing he could do was raise his neck and let out the last mournful cry of his life!
Under the oppression of inner terror, Poole finally mustered up the courage, and softly asked the shadow on the other side of the camp: "Master Morse, can we go back alive?"
"Shut up! Do you want to recruit those wizards?" The law-breaker knight Morse reprimanded softly in the shadows, but his tone became softer again: "Don't think so much. Our task is to detect snakes. Around the Bird Cliff. Tomorrow, you only need to move forward 3 miles to complete the task, and then you can naturally return to the camp to get the reward. That is 30 gold Solang, enough for you to live steadily for ten years!"
Xu Shi thought of the happy life after getting the reward, and the big rock in Poole's heart finally loosened a little. He wrapped the thick animal hide tightly again, trying to keep his body warm.
However, Poole didn't know that just as he was trying to make himself fall asleep, the soil in the center of the camp suddenly arched a washbasin-sized soil bag. As the soil at the top of the bag broke, countless black scorpions spewed out from it, divided into five black swarms, and rushed into the surrounding shadows silently.
A moment later, the angry roar of the Morse knight suddenly sounded in the shadows.
"Get up... everyone, get up... the evil insects are coming!"
With the flickering of the energy shield's fluorescence, the flaming long sword also began to explode in his hand. Relying on the blinding flame light, this extremely humble small camp was instantly illuminated. There were 5 people in the camp. Besides him, the lawbreaker knight, there were 2 demon hunter knights, and 2 mercenary hunters.
It's a pity that when the beating light shone on the camp, only he and Gemu, a witcher knight, could jump out of the felt. The other three companions didn't respond at all. Looking around, they could only see squirming animal skin mattresses and blankets.
"Damn..." Morse cursed angrily, "Hold your weapons and prepare to fight..."
In fact, he didn't need to remind him, the Gemu knight had already slapped off the many scorpions on his body with all his strength, resisted the waves of dizziness with tenacious will, and pulled out his long rune sword with all his strength.
After these scorpions burrowed into the felt, they kept stabbing him with their poisonous pincers, but they couldn't feel the slightest pain in a strange way. If Lord Morse's loud roar hadn't awakened him, he might have died silently in his sleep just like the other witcher knight.
The flaming long sword stabbed fiercely into the ground, and the violent flame shock wave swept across the entire camp in an instant.
Under the powerful explosive impact of the Morse knights, the scorpions flocking towards them were swallowed up by the ferocious elemental flames, and the camp was full of shrill insects that made their teeth ache and their legs limp.
However, under the flickering light of thousands of flames, the wormhole in the center of the camp collapsed suddenly, and more and bigger beetles spewed out from it. They gathered together, piled up into a pile of worms that crawled, and rose little by little.
Soon, a human figure made of terrifying swarms appeared in the center of the camp.
Seeing such a strange way of appearance by the evil wizard, the eyes of the two knights were full of unconcealable despair, and their hearts were completely chilled like ice and snow.
The evil bug Entik has appeared!
...
In a cave at the bottom of a cliff 12 miles northwest.
Bright bonfires were burning brightly.
The entrance of the cave was covered with a piece of thick felt, and outside the cave was airtight wild vines, so there was no fear that the fire would be noticed by outsiders.
The four people in the cave sat around the bonfire, all silently cleaning their weapons and armor, without any interest or enthusiasm for conversation.
Fortunately, they came to this hidden cave under the leadership of hunters before dark, and only then did they have a resting place where they could light a bonfire to drive away the moisture in the forest. Otherwise, sleeping in the wild, they would never dare to start a fire.
In this deep and leafy Greenland forest, any fire in the dark can be clearly seen from more than ten miles away. Although there are no birds, beasts or ferocious monsters in this mountain forest, there are evil wizards that are far more terrifying than wild beasts lurking.
In 2 days, their 4-person team only traveled less than 30 miles in the mountains and forests, but they encountered no less than 15 attacks by witches and beasts.
These witch beasts wandered in the mountains and forests in groups of three or four. Once they sensed the breath of humans, they would pounce on them like mad dogs. They are either plague dogs, raging bison, or poison dart frogs... Of course, they also encountered a strange monster produced by the combination of pterosaurs and human spearmen!
None of these weird creatures are normal. They either carry the horrible plague or virus-causing bacteria, or they are covered in blood. At first glance, they look like horrible evil things made up of several jungle beasts randomly put together!
It was by relying on the powerful half-range flame blade of Lord Spellbreaker Knight that they fought desperately all the way to come over.
Fortunately, although they were attacked by many witch beasts, they did not encounter those evil wizards!
The mountains in the southern area of the Greenland Forest are undulating, and the forest sea is vast and boundless. It is difficult to detect each other even if they are separated by a hundred meters. So a dozen or so wizards were scattered in such a huge space, and it was almost impossible to completely block the infiltration of the knight squad.
So it is not a very strange thing that they have traveled all the way here without encountering a wizard.
But in the afternoon, the distant battle that they spied on a certain hill made them silent. A team with almost the same strength as their team was annihilated under the ambush of the fire demon!
In their hearts, the knights also have great resistance to the high-level infiltrating investigations that force them to die. But when I turned around and thought about it, if there was no specific goal in such a huge and vast forest, the more than 2,000 Demon Hunter Knights could only wander aimlessly in it.
At that time, I am afraid that the eating, drinking and scattering of more than 2,000 people will be enough to wear down the entire team, let alone find the enemy in the deep mountains and dense forests and fight with them!
So even though there are demon hunter knights dying painfully in the depths of the jungle every day, the senior management of the knight order is still firmly and persistently carrying out the investigation team's infiltration plan.
With the lives of more than twenty lawbreaker knights and fifty demon hunter knights, the edge of this forest has been completely explored, and the defense line of wizards is retreating step by step. Maybe in another three or four days, they will thoroughly explore this vast forest of two to three hundred miles, and find out the lair where the enemy is hiding.
Then, it's a wonderful time for them to raise their troops and destroy the evil wizard's lair in one fell swoop!
However, although the idea is very beautiful, it requires them to pay more sacrifices and more efforts to realize it. As for whether he could live to see that beautiful moment, the two law-breaker knights in the cave were still a little uneasy.
However, when everyone was staring at the beating bonfire in a daze, there was a strange knocking sound at the entrance of the cave.
"Dang dang dang... is there anyone here?"
"Who?" A hunter blurted out in shock. It wasn't long before he realized that he and his party were in the wilderness, where was the door? Where is the visitor from
"A lonely traveler! If you don't object, then I'll come in!" The voice outside sounded rather weird, hoarse and hoarse, without any trace of enthusiasm.
"Since your Excellency is here, just come in! You don't need to hide outside and play tricks!" The law-breaker Entos slowly stood up, and the energy shield and flame sword began to glow.
Suddenly, he turned his head to look at his companion sitting beside him in surprise.
Haim, who was also a law-breaker knight, was still sitting on the spot, with bulging veins on his forehead, his face flushed red, and he gritted his teeth.
"What's wrong with you?" Entos asked loudly.
"I'm... soon... being... controlled..." A simple sentence was shattered by the knight of Heim. And after he finished speaking, even the pupils of his eyes turned red.
Knight Entos vigorously urged the flaming long sword in his hand, and the sudden detonation of the elemental flame instantly illuminated the entire cave, and also illuminated Knight Heim.
I saw strange translucent threads floating in the void behind the Helm knight sitting on the felt, all pierced into his body, while the other end silently extended to the cave wall.
"Damn it, it's a puppet!" The Entos knight roared angrily, and a flame blade pierced through the air, cutting off the seven or eight strange void threads.
With the help of his companions, Knight Haim finally got rid of the control of the silk thread behind him, quickly jumped up and roared: "Everyone, get ready, the evil wizard puppet is coming..."
However, just as he roared, the two mercenaries who were also sitting by the campfire stood up crookedly, with weird smiles on their faces, raised their swords and rushed towards them.
