Chapter 1223: Pursuit
The sun is blazing.
In the middle of the empire, Mo Jiawei led a team of players to escape in the dense forest.
The trouble is, they also need to escort the rare ore supplies they transport along the way.
“Brothers, hold on a little longer. The entrance to the underground world is just ahead. These dogs can’t catch up.”
Mo Jiawei waved his hand and forcibly boosted his morale, but he couldn't help cursing in his heart.
Those troublesome lords!
A real dog!
After the game prompted the Plaguelands to fall out with the Empire, Mo Jiawei was also implicated.
Lord Chadwick suddenly turned his back and stabbed Mo Jiawei by surprise, deducting a large amount of supplies they had temporarily stored in Linkliton City, including the Stone of Revelation they had just purchased not long ago. The raw materials are also deducted together.
This was not over yet, Lord Chadwick personally led his men to pursue Mo Jiawei.
Chasing all the way till now!
Lord Chadwick's ancestors were known for their bravery and prowess in battle. His ancestors had conquered large tracts of territory for the empire.
Having such an opportunity to beat up a drowned dog and make the family famous again, Chadwick was naturally unwilling to give up and pursued him all the way until he once again pursued him into a dense forest.
"Lord, do we still need to continue chasing? We will leave your territory soon."
"Chase!"
Chadwick's eyes were a bit eager.
It has been a long time since he enjoyed the thrill of chasing prey.
Before, he also invested in the construction of the Mage Tower.
I didn’t expect that the Plaguelands would dare to openly oppose the Empire!
Ha...
Chadwick sneered in his heart.
That’s a good thing too.
Once the treasonous enemy is captured, not only can his territory harvest a large amount of ore supplies, but it can even revive the reputation of the Chadwick family!
Fang Heng?
The plague land that has been spreading in the empire recently?
And there is a sacred tree? Single-handedly resisted the barbarian invasion?
That’s all!
The rumors from the outside world are indeed not true!
Watching Mo Jiawei's team being chased all the way, Chadwick's self-confidence was extremely inflated.
Just rush into the Plague Land and take Fang Heng's head!
Chadwick was thinking excitedly when he suddenly frowned.
Huh?
What’s going on ahead?
The troops chasing the enemy at the forefront of the legion suddenly slowed down their attack speed.
After a brief period of tranquility, the front team stopped moving forward and fell into a huge commotion.
Vaguely, Chadwick seemed to hear screams coming from the front army.
What's going on?
It seems that there is no direct battle with the enemy in front.
Have you been trapped?
"What's going on?"
The deputy immediately reported: "Lord, please be patient, we need time to confirm the situation ahead."
Chadwick frowned and motioned to the team behind him Stop for now.
Looking around at the trees around him, Chadwick faintly smelled a dangerous atmosphere.
“Chi! Chi chi chi!!!”
There was a faint sound coming from the surrounding bushes.
“What?”
Chadwick reflexively looked to the right.
“Ah!!”
Before Chadwick could see anything, suddenly, an imperial soldier in the team let out a shrill scream, and he sat down. , hugging his thighs and letting out a cry of pain.
"What?"
"What happened to him?"
"I don't know, suddenly like this..."
The screaming imperial soldier had a look of horror on his face His expression, his body twitched uncontrollably, and then he covered his neck.
The soldiers around him had never seen such a strange sight. They all subconsciously took several steps back, not daring to get too close.
An accompanying adjutant stepped forward, knelt down to check, and forcibly opened the soldier's hand covering his neck.
Looking carefully, the soldier was slightly squirming under the exposed skin of his neck.
It was as if something was twisting and squirming beneath his skin.
Blood overflowed from the pupils of the imperial soldiers.
“Chi!”
The adjutant swung his dagger and cut the soldier's outer skin directly.
Red blood overflowed from the wound.
Worm! ?
Onlookers saw purple bugs in the wounds!
With just a quick glance, the bugs spread deep into the body along the skin.
What is that?
The soldiers felt cold sweat pouring down their backs.
“Ah!!”
Suddenly, another shout sounded.
In just a few moments, screams echoed throughout the team.
Seeing the comrades around them falling down in a very strange way and screaming and wailing, the whole team's morale suddenly dropped.
The legion of five to six hundred men seemed to be cursed for a moment. Large swaths of imperial soldiers fell down and were stuck in place, unable to advance or retreat.
Chadwick also panicked, his face turning slightly pale.
He turned back to look at the accompanying bishop of the Holy Court Church beside him, and asked: "What's going on!"
"It's the evil curse of the undead. Back off! Everyone back off! Be careful to avoid the curse. The source of ”
Bishop Bu Nuo also encountered this situation for the first time. He looked a little panicked, and immediately took out the Book of Beginning and used divine grace to rescue the team members.
The golden holy light fell on the soldiers who were wailing in pain, but the holy light skill could only relieve the pain for a moment.
Greater pain follows!
"It's a bug! Be careful, it's a bug!!"
In the chaos, an adjutant shouted.
He saw with his own eyes purple worm bodies crawling out of the corpses of dead Imperial soldiers!
"Be careful where you step, there are crawling bugs on the ground! Those purple worms! Don't let them crawl on you!"
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and after being reminded Suddenly, they all looked at the muddy ground around their feet.
Chadwick also looked towards the muddy road under the war horse.
Looking carefully, he found many purple worms climbing rapidly along the ground.
A soldier dodged without haste and watched helplessly as a purple worm crawled into his body along his feet.
“Save me! Save me!!”
The team fell into a bigger commotion!
In the wild environment, the surrounding weeds have submerged into the calf level, and it becomes more difficult to distinguish the wandering insects in this environment.
Chadwick couldn't help showing horror on his face.
What kind of bug is this? Why have I never seen it?
The same goes for Bu Nuo, the bishop of the Holy Court Church, with a look of surprise on his face, but besides that, he was more at a loss.
When did the undead’s curse ability become so powerful?
Why is it never seen in the Holy Court records?
Why are the dispelling and healing of the Holy Light ineffective?
The deputy general saw something bad and immediately reported: "Lord, this area is too weird, let's evacuate first."
Chadwick's expression changed several times, facing such a strange enemy Suddenly there was some intention to retreat.
"Give me the order, stop chasing, retreat first!"
"Chi, chi chi...!!"
The order has not yet been issued, and the area ahead is completely blocked. There was another squeaking sound in the dense forest.
Immediately afterwards, large groups of lickers sprang out from the outer dense forest and rushed towards the empire lord team! (End of this chapter)
