Chapter 1248 Shadow in the Forest

Before being forcibly reorganized by the alpha wolf, the dwarfs were actually a subspecies of demons living in swamp areas. They were roughly the same size as a human child, covered with dark red wrinkled hard skin, and had lizard faces. Creatures have always had a reputation of being cruel and ferocious. Scholars believe that this sub-species of demons is not actually a real demon, but a distorted projection formed by beasts polluted in the previous tides of chaos. Some people believe that dwarves are goblins infected by dark magic. A branch formed after corrosion - but no matter which version is used, the world has a consensus on the dwarves: this kind of terrible little thing is a very cruel and fearless race, they will only obey absolute power, although Many of the actions of the dwarfs appear comical, but this cannot conceal their dark nature:

Leprechauns feel little fear.

However, such a fearless little demon now screamed and ran out of the depths of the forest. The two dwarf demons were covered in blood and stumbled as they ran, as if there was an extremely terrifying enemy chasing them.

Lily heard the noise and rushed over immediately. She discovered that the two trembling dwarves with frightened expressions were the scouts who had been sent to explore a certain direction in the forest, but there were ten of them sent out at that time—— Looking at the situation before us, it was obvious that the other eight were in danger.

"What happened?" Lily came to the two dwarves and asked condescendingly.

The two dwarf demons who were constantly sifting through chaff felt the leader's aura, or were probably frightened by the light of Symmetra on Lily's body. In short, they finally calmed down. They made sharp screams and yelled in harsh language as if metal was being torn apart. He said: "The other guys are dead! They are all dead!" "There is a black thing running out of the woods!" "It is not afraid of fire or smoke!" "It goes right through us and then gets into our brains Inside!" "Then they all died!" "We also saw many, many terrible things!"

The dwarves are a race with higher intelligence among all sub-races, which is why Lily sent them to explore the way forward: compared to the furbolgs, these guys can at least explain clearly what they see. However, after hearing the messy report from the two dwarf demons, Lily couldn't help but stare: "What nonsense..."

At this time, Calasius also caught up from behind. The senior monk also had some research on sub-races, so he understood some of the words of the dwarf demon intermittently. He frowned: "Could it be that he was attacked by the servants of Chaos?"

Lily's ears twitched: "What are you talking about again... Chaos? Is that thing really so powerful?"

When Carathius heard this, he couldn't help but want to roll his eyes. If it weren't for the forty-year-old archbishop's cultivation, he would have rolled his eyes to the sky. The senior monk sighed: "You... ...Destined not to be afraid of Chaos, but that thing is an absolute disaster for ordinary people like us. Then again, Chief Wolf, do you really not know what is happening on the mainland?"

"I don't know," Lilit put her hands on her hips happily. Although she didn't know what to be happy about, she was so happy. "As soon as I woke up, I found myself on the island. God knows what happened before. .”

Karasius continued to sigh, but he didn't know what to say.

He was in awe of the light of Symmetra in the "Head Wolf", but he really couldn't accept the other person's world view and attitude towards chaos, especially the latter: probably because he was born with a powerful divine power of order, this "Head Wolf" It can almost be said that she is destined not to be invaded by Chaos from birth, let alone being invaded by Chaos. There is a powerful force field of order within a few hundred meters around her, and the power of the Chaos Tide cannot get close to her at all. , which leads to an interesting result:

For the Kolo people, the color-changing "chaos" that everyone is familiar with and talks about in detail is a rare thing that you can't touch in a lifetime... Of course, saying "a lifetime" here may be a bit exaggerated. After all, the power of chaos also exists. When breaking through the order blockade, at least for now, the alpha wolf has not been disturbed by the power of chaos at all.

The deaf are not afraid of shooting off cannons, the blind are not afraid of flowers, the heartless are not afraid of setbacks in life, and the huskies are not afraid of chaos...

At this time, Lily had finished questioning the two dwarf demons. After some questioning, it was basically certain that the two unlucky men encountered were indeed monsters from chaos.

"As expected, the power of Chaos is chasing after us," Karasius said. "I didn't expect that there would be a new surge in the seventh year of the Chaos Tide. The dark side of the Sea of ​​Karnos is coming from the world. The bottom layer is surging upwards, and a new wave of storms is landing in the south of Ansu. We should have just caught up with the front of the storm... In my judgment, the real storm has not started yet, and it will officially arrive in about three days. But even if It is the front line of the Chaos Storm... and it is also quite dangerous."

Lily listened confusedly and could only understand half of it, but she still knew that the situation seemed to be getting worse.

The team has been encountering various strange phenomena since entering the forest area, such as suddenly withered trees, surging soil, and living skeletons in the forest. These things have appeared more than once so far. According to Karasius, these They are all signs of approaching Chaos, and today, all the signs have finally reached their culmination: members of the team have been directly killed by Chaos servants.

Although they were just a few dwarf demons, they escaped from the floating island with her after all. As the prestigious dog king of the southern suburbs, Lily felt that she had to protect her little brothers.

She looked at Karasius: "Uncle, you are an expert, please give me some advice."

Karasius nodded: "We should be on the borderline where chaos and order conflict. This storm has just appeared, so the conflict between the two forces has not really broken out yet. The monsters that emerged from chaos have not yet broken out." It will not break out everywhere, but should be concentrated in a few locations with the most serious conflicts. We must avoid the places with the strongest atmosphere of chaos based on the directions detected by the scouts. Our target is still the nearest barrier of order - from here to There should still be three days to go to the Talos border. If we hurry up, we can shorten it to two days."

Lily thought for a moment, then suddenly jumped up on a big rock nearby and ordered loudly: "Everyone, pay attention! Camp next to the big bonfire and rest! You must have a good sleep today, and we will set off tomorrow!"

Karasius nodded slightly after hearing the arrangement of the alpha wolf. However, an ordinary paladin in the investigation team couldn't help but said: "Arrogant wolf, shouldn't we set off immediately? It would be a waste to set up camp here... "

"We won't waste time," Lily stared at the reckless paladin, "We have been on the road for several days, and now everyone has very little physical strength left. In this case, when encountering monsters, the ability to fight back is basically zero. The risk is far greater than the time it takes to set up camp - now while my light is still bright, everyone should take the time to rest. Let's go, let's go back to sleep!"

The reckless paladin was left speechless. Calasius patted the young man on the shoulder: "The wolf is right. The most fearful thing in the realm of chaos is losing calm and wasting energy. Go back and rest. , the real challenge is tomorrow.”

It soon became quiet in the Warcraft camp. The big bonfire was burning in the center of the forest clearing. The bright firelight reflected the twisted and deep dark jungle around it. Lily came to her "throne" and lay down to watch. The groggy sky was in a daze.

There were thick animal skins and straw mats under her body, but these things did not allow her to sleep comfortably.

It’s so bright...

Lily turned over awkwardly, only to see that her tail was emitting a bright white light in the air. Not only her tail, but her whole body was actually glowing. At first, the light made her feel quite interesting, but now she She just felt that this blinding thing seriously hindered her sleep, and more seriously... she didn't know how to turn it off.

"It would be great if the landlord was here," the husky girl thought wildly. "The landlord knows a lot of weird things. He must have a way."

After continuing to turn around for a while, she suddenly heard a strange noise coming from nearby.

Lily's ears twitched, and she immediately stood up and looked around alertly.

Her herd of beasts was surrounded by demon wolves, gnolls, furbolgs, and dwarves. Various demon beasts were divided into piles according to their groups. They lay in a circle around the throne of the alpha wolf, with varying weights. The sound of snoring and the peculiar smell of Warcraft wafted through the entire camp. And those rescued humans also occupied a corner. These seemingly high-status humans were actually very able to endure hardships. They were now camping in the open space next to the fire fox group, with a few simple tents set up there.

The tent was carried by the human named Karasius. He seemed to have a "portable space" similar to the landlord.

Lily's eyes wandered between the herd of animals and the human camp, and the weird noises appeared and disappeared in the camp, as if an invisible strange thing had sneaked in. The owner of the sound was swaggering across the camp. Passing through those sleeping bodies, looking for their prey.

Suddenly, Lily's golden eyes shrank.

She stared closely at the place where the dwarfs were camping, where two figures climbed up.

It's the two scouts who escaped before.
