Chapter 538 Undead in the Mist
The military camp is located in the northeast of the mining area, in a corner surrounded by mountains on three sides. Diagonally opposite it, 400 meters away, is the old mine cave where the mine prisoners live. In the past nights, there would always be three teams of soldiers holding horned devils guarding the place to prevent the mine prisoners from escaping.
At this time, Hullington and Angelou had arrived at the mountain opposite the military camp. The fog here was much thinner. Looking down from the mountain, one could vaguely see the outline of the military camp. It was not smooth for them to find this place. Without Nilu Wei's guide, they went in the wrong direction several times in the fog, and the number of terrifying monsters continued to increase.
All kinds of corpse monsters have given them enough headaches. They can always find where you appear. Even a master of concealment who can hide various smells cannot hide the smell of his own life. . The mutated monsters are also stronger than in the village. Half of them are elite soldiers stationed here, and some are protected by tamed horned demons and other magical beasts. Although they account for 10% of all monsters, The proportion is not very large, but every time it appears, it is enough for Hullington and the others to go through a fierce battle. Especially those annoying skeletons, which did not retain the power they had in life, but gained their own unique powers. The disgusting skeleton mage, the archer who likes sneak attacks, wearing steel armor found in the military camp, coupled with their night vision and immortality abilities, Hullington and the others have suffered from their losses many times.
So, it was a blessing to find all of them alive and find the military camp. This is also because these monsters were not organized and wandered independently, which allowed Hullington and others to survive.
Where they were staying now, they had just killed a few monsters nearby. It was estimated that no more monsters would appear in a short while, so they stopped here.
"How are your injuries?" The person asking was Chloe, and the person being asked was Angelou.
"It's not that important yet. It would be better if you could use magic to give us pain relief now." Angelou took off the arm armor on his left arm. This arm armor was made of magic-strengthened steel plates. It was actually chopped into pieces. The clothes inside were torn open, revealing a neat wound that was half an inch deep and four inches long. Not only was the wound bleeding, but it was also emitting black smoke like burning glue.
Chloe cast several healing spells she knew, but the black smoke from the magic was still floating: "No way, I have never seen this kind of magical power, and I don't know how to dispel it. It. "
When those skeleton warriors wield their weapons to attack, there is always this black magic aura on their bodies, which is something that none of them have ever seen.
The pain forced Angelou to grit his teeth and endure it. From the sweat flowing down his face, he could feel what kind of pain a tough knight like him was suffering: "There is no way, just endure it for now." He Ask Chloe to wrap a cloth bandage around him and tie it tightly. He did not want to use the imitation elemental regeneration ability unique to true knights to eliminate the pain on his body, because for true knights, every time it is used, it will make them fall into a state of extreme fatigue, and Angelou, who is already very tired, knows , if I use this ability now, I'm afraid I will have to sleep here.
After Chloe treated his wound a little, she helped him put on the arm guard: "Fortunately, we have drank Alice's blood before. We have suffered so many injuries along the way. There are no signs of poisoning. Her blood should be immune to toxin attacks for a period of time."
"Another corpse monster is coming." The bearded man was a typical combat type. , fought all the way, he fought very bravely, and the injuries he received were not serious.
Hughington had no time to look at the injury on his leg. He rolled up the gauze in a hurry, put down his trousers, and immediately jumped into the air to prepare for battle.
Angelou said: "To deal with the corpse monster, we will go directly to the military camp."
Corpse monsters are relatively easy to deal with. They retain the instinctive power of living creatures, but they are not strong. Moreover, to deal with such monsters, it is not necessary to completely kill them, as long as they are incapacitated. So they launched a quick and targeted attack, and then immediately walked towards the military camp down the mountain.
But halfway through, they couldn't go any further.
“Damn, why are there so many monsters down there?”
Looking down from the mountainside to the military camp, although I can’t see clearly, I can still distinguish the densely packed monsters. . There are zombies and skeletons in droves, and there seem to be quite a few mutated monsters.
These monsters don’t fight each other together, they just stand there stupidly like idiots.
Hullington and the others came down very carefully and squatted behind a pit piled with thick leaves. They did not attract the attention of some skeletons and mutant monsters around them for the time being.
"What should we do? We can't get out of this situation." It was Chloe who spoke. She spoke in a low voice for fear of alarming nearby monsters.
Angru said: "We have to go down even if we don't. Now we have no retreat. Apart from entering the military camp and sending out rescue, there is only a dead end."
"But we go down recklessly. There is only a dead end," Chloe said.
Everyone was silent.
The bearded man looked around and said: "Hurry up, we can't stay here for too long, other monsters won't be able to find us, and those zombie monsters will come soon. Hey, you guys speak quickly, is it true? Can't you think of a way? ""A way..." Angelou said: "It's not that there is no way, but I'm afraid you won't agree."
"What is it? Roy and Big Beard asked quickly.
Hughington said: "I know what you are talking about. You let one of us take the risk to lure those monsters away, so that others have the opportunity to enter the military camp."< br>
Chloe and Bearded both looked at Angelou.
Angelou nodded.
Chloe yelled: "How could this be..." Her mouth was immediately covered by Hurlington next to her.
Chloe made an apologetic look and whispered: "How is this possible? Isn't this asking him to die? This is not a gold mining village. There is a gold palace where he can hide. But when exposed to those inhuman monsters, they will not stop dying."
"So you won't agree with this method, and I don't agree with it myself." Angelou said.
Hughington said: "It's a pity that the invisibility magic doesn't work at this time."
"I'll go."
After saying these words, everyone was startled and looked at the bearded man. It was him who spoke.
Big Beard said: "I want my guardian Skeles Red Beast to lure away those monsters."
"You are asking it to die, I'm afraid it won't Are you willing? "
The master and the guardian have the same mind, and they can understand each other's thoughts even if there is no verbal communication.
Hullington said: "And this method may not be successful. There are too many monsters down there, and it may not be able to lure them all away."
Big Beard said: "I am not letting it die. I just let it complete a very difficult task. It has been with me for eleven years, and I am very reluctant to do it, but now it is the only one among the four of us, Sir, your flying dragon. Knop City, Chloe, your demon armor cannot complete this task. Only my Skeles Red Beast can lure them away. Don't worry, it has been following me for so many years and it doesn't want to see its master die here. If we can't leave here, we will die sooner or later, and it will not be able to live in a place like this."
Although several people looked sad on the surface, they felt like they had grasped a straw in their hearts. After all, the desire to survive is an instinct that comes from everyone's heart. They have no requirement to sacrifice others to survive themselves, so this has nothing to do with morality.
But just when everyone unanimously agreed and agreed to let the Skeles Red Beast try to lure away those monsters, a sudden change occurred.
The bearded man suddenly seemed to be strangled by something, looking extremely painful, and then he was seen flying into the air bit by bit.
"Big beard!" When Chloe exclaimed, an almost imperceptible cool breeze blew between her and Hullington, and at the same time they felt part of the magic in their bodies disappear.
Hughington immediately noticed something. He closed his hands and a magic circle spread out in front of his palms. A wave of blue magic power shook and spread from the center of the array. Wherever the magic ripples passed, illusory ghosts revealed their true colors. At this time, a red spirit with black power was hugging the bearded man's back and sucking it. Something about the bearded body. And the black magic power has tightly entangled the bearded man, making him unable to move...
