Chapter 104: Withering Plague

After Yang Yi obtained Christasa's Dragon's Breath Talisman, he planned to set out immediately to find the new toxins of the Steel-maned Boarmen, but he suddenly found that he could not find a suitable person to work with him.

Currently, Brak is leading the village's fighting murlocs and Guns and Roses men to hunt the quilboars. In order to obtain the construction blueprints for the village's level 3 murloc ambusher camp, the mission of wiping out the quilboars cannot be delayed.

Slark was studying the alchemy formula with Krisstrasa in the inn, and he couldn't leave.

The Brak brothers all have their own tasks and cannot escape. The old blind man can only stay in Ratchet Village and take care of the house.

Yang Yi thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to bring only two followers, Benbolba and Mojimus. Although these two little fishmen were still underage, their fighting power was not weak. More importantly, they were smart enough. .

The mission this time was to find some new toxins from the wild boar settlements infected by the new plague. It was not to go out to fight the wild boars, so Yang Yi decided to sneak in secretly. Even if there is a battle by then, the main fighting power will still depend on the epic talisman given by the dragon.

At noon that day, Yang Yi handed over the affairs of the village to the old blind man, and then he set off with Ben Bolba and Mojimus.

The wild boar tribe where the captured Bristleweaver belonged was some distance away from Ratchet Village. The three murlocs kept vigilant along the way and did not approach their destination until midnight.

This settlement of the quilboar tribe looks a little unusual from the outside. Thick thorn vines grow everywhere and strictly block the view. However, if you look closely, you will find that most of the thorn vines have withered. Wither.

It is now the dead of night, and the wild boar settlement is also quiet.

The only sound on the grassland was the whistling of the strong wind, and occasionally the howls of wild beasts came from the distance.

Yang Yi had not yet tried the power of the talisman, so he did not rush into the thorn jungle with the two fishmen. He hung the talisman around his neck and investigated step by step along the edge of the thorn jungle.

According to the captured Bristleweaver, the wild boars infected by the new plague have lost their original consciousness and have fallen into a state of terror without eating, drinking or sleeping.

Therefore, these wild boar people do not need to go out to hunt. They do nothing but stay in the depths of the thorn jungle and perform some kind of sacrificial activities day and night.

This situation is both good and bad for Yang Yi. The good thing is that he will not encounter the patrolling wild boar when he sneaks in. The bad is that it becomes extremely difficult for him to find a lone wild boar to test the power of the amulet. .

Not everyone dares to enter the thorny jungle where the wild boar people live. Not only does it exude a stench, but more importantly, outsiders who come here may be infected with the plague spread by the wild boar people at any time.

As murlocs with natural immunity to plague, Yang Yi and the others were not worried about being infected with ordinary plagues. For safety reasons, Yang Yi used Christasa's Dragon Breath Talisman on himself and the two murlocs before infiltrating.

Translucent red light shot out from the amulet, and the red light lingered and then disappeared into the bodies of the three fishmen.

After the red light disappeared, Yang Yi touched his fish-man body, and there was nothing unusual except that he felt a faint warm current in his body. It was thought that this warm current was the source of increased resistance to dark spells.

With the protection of the talisman, Yang Yi led the two murlocs into the wild boar settlement with confidence.

The thorn jungle is damp and rotten, and rotten grass and dead leaves can be seen everywhere on the ground.

Along the way, Yang Yi discovered many piles of rotten grass that had been artificially sorted. Some fungi were growing on these piles of grass. Among them, a fist-sized mushroom with red round spots was the most common. This kind of umbrella mushroom was the most common. The name of the mushroom is [Red Spot Mushroom].

Fungi are not only the vector used by the wild boar people to spread the plague, but also one of the main food sources for the wild boar people. This red-spotted mushroom growing on rotten grass is an edible fungus.

The red-spotted mushroom is suitable for growing in the environment where wild boar people live, so it is cultivated by wild boar people as their staple food.

Because there were no wild boars on guard or patrol, Yang Yi and the others quickly and smoothly sneaked into the depths of the thorny jungle.

I saw a large clearing deep in the thorn jungle densely surrounded by a large group of wild boar people. At a rough calculation, there were at least five hundred wild boar people.

These wild boar people acted sluggishly and behaved strangely. They were all performing some kind of ritual facing a bonfire in the middle of the clearing.

[Withered Steelmane Quilboar], [Withered Steelmane Defender], [Withered Steelmane Thornweaver]...

Yang Yi looked with the eyes of the lord and found that all the wild boar people here had turned into withered wild boar people.

"The temperament of these quilboars has completely changed after they turned into wither quilboars. What on earth are they doing around the bonfire? The bonfire is burning very strangely, and the color of the flame is actually blue-purple."

Yang Yi suddenly felt horrified after seeing the color of the bonfire. It felt like a pile of will-o'-the-wisps swaying crazily.

"Boss, that wild boar man is weird."

At this time, Mojimus suddenly spoke. He pointed at the withered wild boar in front of the crowd and said softly to Yang Yi.

"oh?"

Yang Yi looked in the direction pointed by Mojimus and found a wild boar wearing a green mage robe and holding a staff standing in the shadow of thick thorn vines. The white gem on the top of the staff in the wild boar's hand was It emits light from time to time.

Yang Yi used the Lord's Eye on the wild boar man.

[Name]: Mystic Mage Razosnott

[Level]: Level 3 Boar Mystic/Level 3 Death's Head Necromancer

[Race]: Boar

[Gender]: Female

"He is a powerful Boar Mystic. He has not turned into a withered boar, which means he has not been infected by the Undead Plague. He is also a Death's Head Necromancer, so he is a suspicious guy."

After seeing the attribute information of this Boar, Yang Yi immediately suspected that this guy was the initiator of the Undead Plague.

Boar Mystic is actually the Shaman of the Boar. They are not only powerful spellcasters but also proficient in spreading plague.

"Boss, there is a house on the cliff over there."

Mojimus has the specialty of "reconnaissance". He has been observing the surrounding situation.

Yang Yi looked sideways. The night vision ability of the fishman came into play at this time. He vaguely saw a small house hanging on the cliff in the distance.

This small house is nearly ten meters above the ground. It does not look like a house where ordinary boars live.

Yang Yi immediately led the two fishmen to dive in the direction of the cliff hut.

The three fishmen dived to the bottom of the cliff, and Yang Yi soon found several large wooden frames under the cliff, with more than a dozen long woods arranged horizontally on the wooden frames, and red and yellow umbrella mushrooms growing on the long woods.

These umbrella mushrooms look very similar to the red spotted mushrooms seen before, except that the umbrella leaves of the mushrooms not only have red round spots but also many yellow spots.

[Name]: Chronic poisonous fungus

[Level]: Level 3

[Type]: Material (consumable)

[Use]: Infect the target organism with chronic plague.

"This should be the poisonous fungus specially cultivated by the wild boar shaman. It seems that the cliff is likely to be the hut where the wild boar shaman lives."

Yang Yi opened a linen bag hanging on his belt, then took out a fisherman's knife and carefully moved a few of the most colorful and largest mushrooms into the bag.

"Let's go up and take a look."

After Yang Yi put away the mushrooms, he took the two little fishmen and climbed up the hut on the cliff along the shaking ladder.

It is not easy to build a semi-suspended hut on the cliff. The area of ​​this hut is only five or six square meters.

There are many clay bottles and jars and several large and small wooden barrels piled in the cliff hut, which is as messy as a garbage recycling station.

"Look for these bottles and jars carefully to see if there are any poisonous fungi."

Yang Yi took the two little fishmen to search carefully in the hut.

A quarter of an hour later, Yang Yi and the two little fishmen turned over everything in the hut, but did not find any poisonous fungi.

The new poisonous fungi were not found, but it was not a complete failure.

Ben Boerba found a rolled up animal skin paper in the cracks of the cliff. This animal skin paper has faded and yellowed, and it seems to be an old thing.

Yang Yi took a quick look and found that this animal skin paper actually recorded the method of cultivating chronic poisonous fungi by the wild boar secret magician.

After reading it, Yang Yi immediately put away the animal skin paper. Although this plague is not a good thing, it will be different if it is in his own hands.

The new toxins could not be found in the cliff hut. Yang Yi was about to climb down with the two little fishmen when he suddenly heard roars and shouts in the distance.

Looking around, he saw flames flickering among the surrounding thorn vines. They were clusters of burning torches.

At this time, the orc soldiers rushed into the wild boar man's thorn jungle with torches in their hands. .
