Chapter 664 Interlude (It’s the End of the Month, Please Give Me a Monthly Ticket)

Duanmu Huai overlooked one thing, that is, while he was running around to increase his strength, the evil gods were also busy. Even if the corpse in front of him was removed, which became swollen and disgusting because of the blessing of the loving father, it can be clearly seen that it is an alien race. From this, it can be seen that a planet must have been poisoned by the Corruption.

Well, this is not surprising. The Milky Way is so big, and both sides are desperately mining and upgrading operations. It’s just that Duanmu Huai and the Corruption are eyeing the same mine.

Duanmu Huai opened the black flame without hesitation, sweeping away the ore and all the mutant creatures in the entire mine, and then he opened the communication.

"Aikot!"

"Ah, uncle, here!"

"What's the current situation of the fleet?"

"Uh... Currently only the first fleet can attack, the rest are under repair..."

"Send a reconnaissance fleet to my side! Also, let Maria and Kukulu speed up the repair progress! Remember, the action must be secretive to avoid being discovered!"

"Ah, yes......!"

The only lucky thing is that this world has a "crystal wall", which is a unique "natural phenomenon" unique to the continent of Furen. According to Furen's setting, in the real world, the "primary material plane", there are many worlds separated from each other. A world may be just a planet, or it may be a complete information including planets, satellites, asteroids, comets, and stars. And each 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 sea of ​​​​phlogiston.

It is precisely because of this that Duanmu Huai concluded that it is obvious that this should not be the arrival of the Chaos Army in person, but more like a test and reconnaissance. After all, Furen is under the protection of the crystal wall, and the Chaos Fleet cannot enter. And this guy may have appeared here in some way. Well, thinking of the plague in Neverwinter before, could it be that...

Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai's eyes lit up.

Could it be that these guys intend to use this method to weaken the crystal wall of Faerun, and then directly descend with a large army?

The more Duanmu Huai thought about it, the more he felt that this possibility was very high, but he did not want his guess to be true, because this meant that outside the crystal wall system of Faerun, there might be a whole Chaos fleet waiting to rush in and feast.

This is definitely not good news for the Inquisition, which had just fought a battle with a cosmic monster and was seriously injured.

Of course, if it is good news... it is the Corruption Stain that came instead of the Treachery, which made Duanmu Huai feel relieved. Of course, it would be better if it was the Tyranny of Wrath.

A head-on confrontation is the most suitable for Duanmu Huai's appetite.

As for the Obsessive Evil... go wherever it is good, Duanmu Huai doesn't even want to look at it.

Of course, as to whether this was a treacherous trick to divert attention and cause trouble, Duanmu Huai would not consider it at all. He was too lazy to waste brain cells on those idiots who were more happy than neurotic patients. Duanmu Huai only believed what he saw, then made a decision, and then fought!

Nothing else mattered!

At the same time, in the Lost Land, there were also people acting for similar goals.

"Woo... ..."

The corrupt, stinking monster roared forward and then fell headfirst into the muddy ground. The leading elf ranger frowned and looked at the monster corpse in front of him, not hiding his inner anger.

"What kind of blasphemy would lead to such a heinous act?!"

The wild sheep that lived in the Lost Land fell in front of the elf ranger, but now it has completely lost its original posture and turned into a rotten, smelly and disgusting monster.

"Did it become some kind of undead creature?"

The wizard 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 has no effect on it. It's not an undead creature."

"But...if it's not an undead creature, then what is it?"

"……………………"

Faced with this question, no one answered for a while, and at this moment, suddenly, a small figure appeared beside them quietly.

"Hey! Are you still in a daze here?"

"Little girl, where have you been?"

Looking at the halfling wanderer in front of him, the paladin showed a dissatisfied expression. Although she helped him and others a lot in normal times, she would disappear without a trace every time she fought, calling it "patrolling around", but everyone knows the timid nature of halflings... just hope she doesn't run too far.

"I found something strange, it might be the cause of all this!"

"Oh?"

Hearing the words of the halfling wanderer, everyone was immediately refreshed. The reason they came here was because recently, many mutated beasts appeared on the edge of the Supreme Forest. They seemed to be cursed and became unrecognizable. Even the land where they died was polluted, and even the lush trees were not spared. That's why 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, this team has only seen countless mutated monsters. The beasts that originally lived in this area have been completely reversed and changed by an evil force, turning into ferocious, twisted, and even... It doesn't look like a living thing.

And now…………

"Take us to see it."

The paladin hurriedly condensed his expression, put away his sword, and looked at the halfling wanderer. The latter nodded, and then jumped and led them towards the depths of the wilderness.

Under the leadership of the halfling, the adventurers walked through the nearby woods and came to a nearby highland. Then they lay down on the ground and looked forward along the direction pointed by the halfling.

"Look, that's where it is."

As he spoke, the halfling pointed forward, and everyone looked up. Then, they saw a scene that was unimaginable.

Not far below the high ground, there is a ruins. Judging from the appearance, it should be the remains of the former temple. At this moment, hundreds of kobolds are standing on this ruins, holding simple weapons in their hands. weapons, shouting excitedly. Standing in front of them was a kobold wizard with feathers on his head, shaking his arms, jumping up and down and shouting loudly.

"God, grant, power!"

"We are happy!"

"Happy!! Hiss!!"

The kobolds, led by the wizard, also shouted loudly, and then the kobold wizard turned around, looked at the ruined temple in front of him, and knelt on the ground.

"God! Grant, power!!"

"Dong...dong...dong..."

Soon, deep footsteps sounded, and then the adventurers saw a tall figure walking out of the temple ruins. Its body looks as tall as a giant, and it is dressed in dark green armor that looks thick and strong. However, these armors are very dirty. Not only that, even the abdomen of this steel warrior is highly bulging, and it looks like As if he had gained weight.

The entire armor was covered with rotten flesh and blood, and there were even many flies flying around it, as if the warrior in front of him was a walking piece of rotten flesh.

He just walked up to the group of kobolds and looked at them in silence. At this moment, the kobolds had begun 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, following his movements, countless flies flew out of his body, directly surrounding the kobolds. Those flies ruthlessly tore open the skin of the kobolds and penetrated into their bodies. Soon, the kobolds began to scream loudly and fell to the ground, rolling around desperately, as if they were enduring some unimaginable pain.

Just the purgatory-like scene in front of them terrified the adventurers, but what happened next made them unable to believe their eyes.

The bodies of those originally short and thin kobolds began to gradually swell, and pieces of rotten flesh floated and spread from their bodies like sponges. In the blink of an eye, those originally skinny little monsters turned into fat men who seemed to be able to walk. Pigs, however, their bodies are still full of sores and bloodstains. Instead of healing, those wounds are torn and pulled apart during the expansion process, and the corrupted flesh and blood inside gushes out like tattered cotton - and then You can see large swaths of maggots falling from it like a tide.

"Woo————!"

The mage covered his mouth and turned away. The others were no better. They had never seen such a blasphemous, terrifying, and disgusting scene.

"What the hell is that guy, is he a devil from hell?"

"It is impossible for the devil to 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 is……………"

"boom!!"

Before the mage could figure out what was happening, there was a roar, and then her head suddenly exploded like an apple. The headless corpse shook for a moment, and then fell backwards.

"We've been discovered, let's go!"

The adventurers didn't even have time to mourn their companions. 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 they completely stop the siege that swept this land. of evil!

"Dong dong dong——"

However, they soon heard the demonic footsteps coming from behind them.

"It's catching up!"

Everyone turned their heads and took a look, only to see that the huge dark green figure had climbed over the hillside and rushed towards them. It's so fast that people can't even react.

"Damn!!"

Soon, another barbarian warrior seemed unable to bear to run away. He suddenly turned around and raised his sword with both hands. He shouted the name of his patron saint and rushed towards the green giant. However, the next moment, accompanied by thunderous The explosion sounded again, and the barbarian's body was directly beaten into a sieve, turning into a pile of meat scattered on the ground, while the green giant stepped on his body and continued to move forward.

"Bang bang bang bang!!!"

This deafening sound made the adventurers' scalps tingle, and they almost ignored the elf ranger's warning.

"Into the forest! Into the forest!!!"

Hearing the elf ranger's words, the remaining adventurers hurriedly rushed into the forest—at the same time, the terrifying sound stopped.

"Damn, what the hell was that?"

Another warrior cursed in a low voice and threw the shield in his hand aside. The shield made of fine gold had been punched with several holes. It was now like a rotten wooden board and was not useful at all.

"What he holds in his hand is simply more powerful than the artillery!"

"Now is not the time to talk about this."

The paladin shook his head.

"We have to leave here. No matter what, we must tell the queen what happened here. This wilderness has been shrouded in evil! There is nothing we can do on our own!"

"But how are we going to evade that guy?"

The halfling whispered. They all saw the speed of the monster, which was far beyond their imagination. If the elf rangers weren't very familiar with the forest, they might not be able to escape each other's pursuit now.

But this was temporary, because they could hear the heavy footsteps approaching - mixed with a sickening stench and a buzzing sound.

"The soldiers were divided into two groups. One group attracted his attention, while the other group took the opportunity to leave."

The paladin finally made his decision, then looked at the elf ranger and the halfling.

"You guys go back and report, we are responsible for delaying that monster!"

"Can……………"

"We don't have elves who are familiar with the forest, nor are we as good at hiding as halflings. If we walk together, he will catch up sooner or later! But now, we can lure him to another direction. You take the opportunity to leave! Hurry! There is no time! "

"……………………"

No one said anything. The halfling and the elf ranger looked at each other and nodded.

Then the Paladin and the remaining warriors turned and ran deeper into the forest, while the Elf Ranger grabbed the halfling.

"Follow me! Don't talk!"

Watching the elves and halflings disappear into the woods, the paladin breathed a sigh of relief. He held the sword tightly and kissed the holy symbol on it.

"May Lathander protect my courage until the end."

"Aha."

Looking at the paladin's actions, the warrior next to him chuckled.

"If Lathander really shows up, he should immediately strike out with a thunder and kill this monster!"

"You do not understand."

The paladin shook his head and put away the holy symbol.

"This is faith."

"I only know that when a person dies, there is nothing."

The warrior tightened his grip on the battle ax and lowered his voice.

"But unfortunately, it looks like we are going to die here."

"………………"

The paladin didn't speak. He clenched his sword and hid behind the rock, while the warrior hid on the other side. They could hear the footsteps getting closer and closer. Then——the paladin jumped up and raised the holy sword in his hand.

"Lathander, please give me the shining light to destroy my enemies!"

The dazzling holy light erupted from the sword along with the roar of the paladin, which even made the green warrior stop. At the same time, the warrior ran out from behind, roaring and raising his axe, facing the green armored warrior without mercy. Covered by armor, the mutated and ugly right claw slashed hard.

“Pfft————!”

The blade cut into the arm of the green-armored warrior, but he did not get the response he deserved. The arm looked extremely strong, and the cut made by the warrior's fierce blow was filled with tumbling flesh in just a moment. After covering it again, before he could react, the green-armored warrior raised his left hand and waved it hard.

The whistling scythe turned into a whirlwind, blowing away everything around him, and the Paladin was no exception. He only felt a powerful force rushing towards him, and then the next moment he flew backwards, breaking along the way. He fell to the ground after climbing several tree trunks, but at this moment the Paladin could no longer get up. He could feel that his bones had been broken, and even the armor on his body was broken into pieces and pierced into his own flesh.

The last thing the Paladin saw at this moment was the green giant striding towards him.

Hope... they can leave safely.

This was the last thing the Paladin thought about before losing consciousness.
