Chapter 319: Acquaintance

Lan Wu felt a sense of absurdity when he saw the guy who was resisting the zombies. This guy was none other than the former Lugain noble, the fire mage Gross.

Gross was in a very bad state at the moment. He looked as dirty as a homeless person. The skin under the ragged and almost scrapped leather armor was dark. I don’t know how long he hadn’t taken a bath or because he was exposed to the sun after wandering for so long. Although his eyes were sharper than before, he couldn’t hide his deep fatigue. It was obvious that he was almost exhausted.

Leaning against a tree that was so thick that a person could hug it, Gross still didn’t give up the resistance. Walls of fire quickly built an insurmountable defense line around him. Whenever a zombie rushed into the wall of fire and just popped out, the high-damage wall of fire had already burned their lives in such a short time, and then burned them into a pile of charcoal.

While he was trying to catch his breath, he suddenly heard that unforgettable voice, and he was immediately refreshed, dragging his tired legs to stand up straight. Ever since he realized that his thoughts were too paranoid, he has always taken Lan Wu as his role model. Now, after going through untold hardships, he finally met this God-given person again. Even if he had to use up his last bit of strength, he had to stand up straight and face him. After all, he was still a Lugain noble. The pride and reserve that had been engraved into the bones of the nobles did not allow him to show weakness in front of the role model.

"Gross!" Lan Wu shouted loudly, holding the legendary sword tightly and rushing into the zombie group.

This is a dense forest, and it is difficult to open the whirlwind to clear monsters. Lan Wu had no choice but to use ordinary attacks to kill these zombies. Fortunately, the legendary sword is an extended-level weapon, and its own damage is quite good. With the concentration skill, the damage is greatly increased. It is easy to deal with these zombies that are not densely packed. Basically, three or four swords can kill one.

With the cover of trees, Lan Wu killed more than a dozen zombies along the way and was approaching the sea of ​​fire. At this time, he chopped the zombie in front of him into two halves with a sword, and immediately changed to the giant war staff and teleported to Gross.

Seeing it clearly from such a close distance was indeed Lan Wu, Gross was very excited. He didn't want to let go of the breath that had been supporting him from falling. His body shook, and the scenery in front of him suddenly became blurred, and the light quickly became dim. At the last moment when his consciousness was swallowed by darkness, he smiled.

"Lord God, I did it."

The last thought flashed quietly, and Gross fainted completely. If he couldn't see his chest rising and falling slightly, and there was still a breath left, Lan Wu would even think that his luck was so bad that he just found a helper but died.

Confirming that Gross was just unconscious, Lan Wu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He came here to find a helper. Now, he didn't find a helper, but had to take care of Gross. Seeing that the fire wall could still hold on for a while, he quickly took out the full vitality potion and poured it into Gross.

Gross's injury healed, and his breathing was obviously stable, but he still didn't wake up. Lan Wu had no way to deal with it. This was obviously a coma caused by overwork and more serious injuries. The full recovery potion could heal his body, but it couldn't make up for the consumed spirit.

"Trouble." Lan Wu smiled bitterly, immediately carried Gross and teleported away from here. The fire wall was about to go out, and it would be difficult to leave if we didn't leave now.

It was very consuming to teleport with people. Lan Wu teleported Gross to the depths of the woods, found a big tree that was as thick as two people hugging, and hid in the dense branches and leaves. After placing Gross on a thick branch of the tree, he took out a bottle of full recovery potion and more than a dozen bottles of healing potions and mana potions, and then stood up and prepared to leave.

Several hours had passed, and he didn't know whether Claudia and the others were in desperate situation. He was in no mood to wait for Gross to wake up. The most important thing was to find the controller behind the scenes as soon as possible and kill him. But just as he got up, Gross, who was still in a coma, suddenly raised his hand and grabbed him tightly.

"You woke up?" Lan Wu was surprised and happy. Gross's awakening was just in time. Although he couldn't provide much help, it was also a help.

"I... How long have I been unconscious?" Gross suddenly opened his eyes and asked subconsciously.

"Just a few minutes." Lan Wu smiled. Looking at Gross's full voice, it was probably nothing serious. He immediately briefly told Gross about the dangers encountered in the ruins of the Rogue Camp, and finally looked at Gross seriously: "I need your help now. Can you still hold on?"

"Of course." Gross smiled reservedly and stood up with Lan Wu's hand. Although his feet were still a little unstable, he stood firmly on the branches and didn't fall off the tree.

"Thank you." Lan Wu raised his right hand. Gross smiled and also stretched out his right hand to hold him.

After reaching a preliminary consensus, the two immediately began to observe the surrounding situation. The number of zombies below was still considerable, and they moved slowly and unswervingly towards the ruins of the Rogue Camp. After observing for a while, Lan Wu lowered his voice and said, "You should have discovered it. They have a common goal. But the undead creatures don't have their own thoughts. They only gain the ability to move after being eroded by the devil's aura. So there must be one or many behind-the-scenes controllers behind them. We have to find the behind-the-scenes controllers. Without the control of the behind-the-scenes controllers, these zombies will eventually disperse slowly. Only then will we have the opportunity to gradually clean them up."

"There is one more thing, where do these zombies come from?" Gross calmly stared at the zombies that passed under the tree, pointed at them and continued: "There are not so many humans. Look at them, they are not zombies that just crawled out of the ground."

Lan Wu was stunned for a moment and took a closer look. Sure enough, although the zombies below were rotten, there was not a bit of dirt on their bodies. Thinking about it carefully, it is true that the invasion of demons has greatly compressed the living environment of humans. The five strongholds together are estimated to have only a million people. Counting the fusion of three worlds, the number of humans is at most four or five million. But the number of zombies he saw alone is more than tens of millions, densely packed like a carpet covering an area of ​​at least a hundred kilometers in radius.

After a while, Lan Wu raised his head in astonishment and whispered: "Is there something summoning zombies?"

"It should be right." Gross was a tough guy who wandered all the way from Kurast Harbor to the Blood Wasteland. He was not too surprised by this obvious answer.

"Let's go." Lan Wu calmed down when he learned that these zombies were summoned. Now that we know this, it will be much easier to find the controller behind the scenes. We can definitely find the mastermind by following the direction of the zombies.

Gross did not object and stood up silently. The two of them no longer paid attention to the zombies under the tree and teleported away from the tree one after another.

Both of them were professionals who learned teleportation. After no longer cleaning up the zombies along the way, the speed of advancement became extremely fast. After almost ten hours of almost uninterrupted teleportation, the two finally saw the real culprit behind the scenes.

"It's not easy." Lan Wu took a breath and felt his scalp tingling.
