Chapter 357 Departure
The bloody wasteland has now become a hilly area. The destruction of the World Stone has brought almost complete changes to the earth. The two walked on this land that changed almost every few days.
"Is it appropriate to walk this way?"
Gross followed Lan Wu and suddenly asked. This time, Lan Wu left without saying goodbye again, and secretly came to the outside world while everyone was immersed in the victory celebration. If he hadn't accidentally seen Lan Wu, he would probably be kept in the dark like Flora and the others.
"What if it's not appropriate?" Lan Wu smiled self-deprecatingly and continued to walk east. It's not that he didn't want to take Flora and her confidantes with him, at least he wouldn't be lonely on the road. But he was thinking that he would definitely find Tyrael before coming back this time.
They had just changed their jobs, and the little strength they had at present was enough to deal with undead creatures such as skeleton zombies, but it was not satisfactory to deal with more powerful demons. For their safety, he finally broke his original promise and sneaked out alone. But he didn't expect that he would be discovered by Gross in the end. Akara may have noticed it, but since it concerns the future of mankind, the prophet can only keep his words in his heart.
Gross shrugged his shoulders and said nothing. Since Lanwu has made the decision, just follow him. He really wants to know whether this divine benefactor will bring him another surprise on this journey.
Lanwu left, but the Skeleton King became the patron saint of New Tristram.
After finding himself again, the Skeleton King turned back into the former King of Khanduras, re-examined himself, and finally made the decision to guard the underground New Tristram forever. It will be the last line of defense for mankind.
Climbing up the hill, the two looked into the distance, looking for familiar terrain. The Blood Wasteland has completely changed into another appearance, and it is not easy to find the road to Lugoin.
The last time I saw Tyrael was in the Destruction Fortress. Then the World Stone was destroyed, and he lost consciousness. When he woke up, he strangely returned to New Tristram. According to Akara and others, he was found in the ruins of the former Rogue camp and brought back to the town.
He didn't know what happened when he was unconscious. But from Leah's story, he knew that it was the work of legendary heroes such as Lasma. But they did not reveal Tyrael's whereabouts, but only sent Leah, a ghost, to help him find Tyrael's whereabouts. In other words, even Lasma and others lost Tyrael's trace. All he could think of was to return to Harrogath and the Throne of Destruction to find clues.
Lugoin is the next stop.
After carefully distinguishing for a long time, Gross, a pure Lugoin, finally recognized a little bit of familiar terrain. He fled all the way from that route.
"Over there, I remember that stone." Gross was the first to teleport down to the bottom of the hill. Lan Wu followed closely and teleported down. The two did not save mana, and rushed to the strange stone standing on the surface like an old man in the most efficient way.
Arriving under the strange stone, Gross's eyes swept quickly. Seeing that there was still no trace of the fire under the strange rock, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was still there, otherwise he would have to consider whether it was another similar strange rock.
"Have you grilled meat here?" Lan Wu squatted down and dug out a charred bone from the ground.
The bone was only half the size of a fist, and it was black with traces of burning. There were also criss-crossing teeth marks on the surface. Obviously, he was very hungry at the time, and he ate every bit of meat cleanly.
"Not good." Gross was stunned when he saw Lan Wu digging out a piece of bone, and then his face changed. He immediately raised his staff and looked around vigilantly, while lowering his voice to warn: "I rely on digging edible plant tubers to fill my stomach, and I have no chance to hunt. Be careful, there may be demons such as the fallen demon nearby."
Lan Wu threw down the bone, turned his head and looked at the four ghosts of Leah floating beside him, and signaled them with his eyes to disperse and explore the situation around. The effect of ghosts at this time is much stronger than that of the world-famous Rogue Scout.
Leah and the other four came back soon and brought back an unexpected news. There are indeed traces of creatures in the vicinity, but they are not demons, but humans, and there are quite a few of them.
Lan Wu firmly believes this. Maybe Leah is a little worse and can't tell the difference between the traces of demons and humans. But Lan Ya and the other three were once big figures. Especially Bruna, the former Amazon queen, is very good at distinguishing various traces.
"Are there still humans nearby?" Gross was quite surprised when he heard what Lan Wu relayed. He had walked here before, relying on the wizard's teleportation, and wasted a lot of mana potions to pass this road full of demons.
"Maybe they have left." Lan Wu walked in the direction Bruna pointed and shrugged his shoulders indifferently. Only by seeing it with your own eyes can you know whether this is true.
Gross immediately shut up and followed behind honestly. If there are still human activities outside, then the most likely possibility is the survivors of Lu Gaoyin. The people in the Rogue Camp had a natural advantage. When they saw something was wrong, they immediately retreated to New Tristram, and the largest number of people survived. The second was Lugoin, which was adjacent to the Rogue Camp.
Now there are only a few Lugoin people left in New Tristram. As a former Lugoin noble, Gross also did not want the Lugoin people to be extinct. Now that he knew that there were human activities outside, he was more eager than Lanwu to find these survivors and bring them back to New Tristram.
Gross didn't lie. This is indeed a dangerous place. Following the direction pointed by Bruna, zombies, skeletons, and undead creatures or demons such as demon children appeared one after another. Fortunately, they were all of the lowest level. Not only did they not cause trouble to the group, but they also generously contributed three bodies for Lan Ya and the other two to possess.
With three more skeletons and the three zombie dogs summoned by Lan Wu, they didn't encounter much trouble along the way. The only problem was that they couldn't find the whereabouts of the survivors.
"Are you sure it's this direction?" Gross asked for the tenth time, looking anxious. The number and level of demons encountered along the way are getting higher and higher. According to this pattern, what we will find in the end may be a pile of bones that have been gnawed clean, not survivors.
"Of course, she was once the queen of the Amazon and is trustworthy." Lan Wu sneered and smashed Bruna's former identity.
Gross was speechless. Compared with himself, she was obviously more professional. At this time, Lan Wu suddenly turned his head and pointed to the distance and shouted.
"Look, there's smoke rising over there."
