Chapter 57 Disaster
"How could it be him?" Lan Wu rubbed his eyes in disbelief and pinched his arm hard. His eyes were not blurry and it hurt. This was indeed not a dream.
Volod.
Lan Wu asked himself if he was seeing things. This necromancer who looked like a dead person was too distinctive. Even if he was several miles away, he could still tell him apart. He was dizzy. Why did this unlucky kid go to the Ice Plains instead of going anywhere else? Didn't he receive the notice?
At this time, Volod also noticed the movement behind him. He looked back and recognized Lan Wu at a glance. He immediately waved excitedly and shouted, "Hey, Lan Wu, are you also going to kill Lakanishu?"
"Lakanishu?" Lan Wu was stunned. He remembered that Lakanishu was the leader of the sharp blade demons guarding the five stone pillars in the stone wilderness. But why did this little BOSS come to the Ice Plains?
After thinking for a while, Lan Wu pulled Irene and accelerated again to Volod. He just stopped, and Volod was already shouting excitedly.
"I'm so lucky to see you. We are destined teammates." Volod's pale face flushed with excitement, and he looked much more normal.
"You are wrong." Lan Wu was reluctant to extinguish Volod's excitement: "It's your misfortune to meet me. Now you are probably going to the big pot of the fallen demon."
"Ah?" Volod was at a loss, completely unable to understand.
Lan Wu shook his head and sighed helplessly, raised his thumb and pointed behind him, then turned his head away, unable to bear to look at Volod's expression. Even if he didn't look, he knew that Volod's face must be very pale and helpless.
A necromancer, facing hundreds of thousands of fallen demons, and they were hungry and almost starved to death, the ending is self-evident.
How to let Volod escape.
Lan Wu racked his brains to think about this problem. But this problem has no solution. Volod is not as good as him, a master of all professions. Without acceleration, this thin and frail necromancer would probably run slower than a normal person. He does have the skill of acceleration, but in this situation, is it possible to carry Volod and run away?
Obviously impossible.
Although Volod is thin, he still weighs dozens of kilograms. How can he run fast if he carries dozens of kilograms? When the time comes, the fallen demons will rush over, and the two of them will be just right to be together and thrown into the big pot together.
"What are you thinking?" Lan Wu almost went crazy: "Why did you run to the Cold Plain? Don't you see what time it is now? You still want to go to the Boneyard to kill the Blood Crow and hire your Taylor?"
"This... this is a stone wilderness." Volod's lips trembled, and he couldn't speak clearly. He had already seen the overwhelming army of fallen demons.
"Eh?" Lan Wu opened his eyes wide, looked around, and asked suspiciously: "Is this the Stone Wilderness?"
Vorod's courage was almost broken, and he nodded repeatedly with a sad face: "Lord Akara and others arranged for us professionals to take the opportunity to avoid the Ice Plains and go out for adventure. No one wanted to team up with me. I had to run to the Stone Wilderness alone, trying my luck to see if I could kill Lakanishu. How could I know that you led Bishuboshu's army of fallen demons to the Stone Wilderness."
Lan Wu was speechless. He never thought that he and Irene would actually cross the Ice Plains and enter the Stone Wilderness. No wonder it didn't feel so cold before, it turned out that we were in the Stone Wilderness.
"Run for your life." Lan Wu knew he was in the wrong, and he ran with Volod dejectedly.
With Volod as a burden, Lan Wu had to slow down and keep pace with him, so as not to let this weak necromancer die innocently. But in this way, the fallen demon army behind them, which had been exhausted, was slightly faster.
The distance between the two sides was getting shorter and shorter.
When the fallen demons saw that there was one more food, they were so happy that they almost fainted. Devil, after more than 20 days of hunger, they finally had a piece of meat.
For a moment, the strong vitality of the demon creatures was once again demonstrated. The fallen demons at the front gathered their strength and swung their short legs forward like chicken blood.
The screams of the fallen demons behind them were getting closer and closer. Volod's face was pale, and he resolutely shouted with his voice that was already dry and almost angry: "Don't worry about me, go away."
Lan Wu rolled his eyes and didn't bother to pay attention. If it weren't for this kind-hearted necromancer at the beginning, I'm afraid I would still be hungry and waiting to die in the Rogue Camp. How could I survive until now. The prices in the Rogue Camp are not lower than those in the imperial capital.
Without waiting for Lan Wu's response, Volod was anxious. If this continued, two people, no, three people would become the feast of the Fallen Demon. He struggled decisively, trying to break free from Lan Wu's hand.
"Don't make trouble." Lan Wu looked fierce and glared at Volod. He looked back and saw that the Fallen Demon was getting closer and closer. He was determined and pulled Volod over his shoulder and threw him, then started to accelerate.
"You can't outrun them even if you take me with you." Volod burst into tears, feeling endlessly aggrieved. He couldn't accept that his only friend was facing a desperate situation. But he was completely ignored by Lan Wu.
Even with dozens of kilograms of running, Lan Wu's speed was not fast, just as fast as running alone, slightly slower than those Fallen Demons who were stimulated to transform into Super Saiyans.
The distance between the two sides was shortened bit by bit.
Lan Wu had clearly heard the unique screams of the Fallen Demon behind him. He was anxious and looked around, looking for a suitable terrain to defend.
Suddenly, Irene, who had been following him silently, tugged at the corner of Lan Wu's clothes. The latter looked suspiciously, but saw her raise her hand and point to the right. Lan Wu looked in the direction of her finger and immediately cursed.
"Is God playing a trick on me?"
There was a man walking on the stone wilderness in the distance on the right. The man was wearing a cloak and no hat, revealing a bald head. He was obviously an old man, with a few white hairs, and obviously old.
First came Volod, whose physique was worse than that of a normal person, and now there is an old man who walks slower than a snail.
Lan Wu wanted to cry but had no tears. The nickname of unlucky Volod was really right. Anyone who had anything to do with this necromancer would also be favored by the goddess of doom.
Save? Or not save?
The two thoughts in Lan Wu's mind changed back and forth like a revolving lantern. With only one Volod, he was almost caught up by the Fallen Demon. With an old man who was not able to move, he might as well not run away and just jump into the big pot of the Fallen Demon. But if he didn't save him... well, he had to save him. Volod had already called out.
"Lord Kane..."
Kane, it was Kane.
Since it was Kane, there was no other choice. Not to mention that this old man was an important figure in the Rogue Camp. Even he needed this knowledgeable scholar to answer his questions.
"When God wants to give a man a great responsibility, he must first work his muscles and bones, starve his body, and make him poor..." Lan Wu shook his head and smiled bitterly, muttering in a low voice as he ran towards the old man.
At this time, Kane also saw Lan Wu and the other two. He was slightly stunned. He didn't expect to see such a group in the Stone Wilderness. He was shocked when he looked again.
"Lord Kane, why did you come to the Stone Wilderness?" Volod looked up at Kane on Lan Wu's shoulder, with a look of surprise on his face.
"This is not the time to talk about this." Kane shouted angrily, which made Lan Wu very happy.
Lan Wu was very happy and winked at Irene. The two dragged Kane to the left and right and ran away. As they ran, he realized that he had underestimated the old man Kane.
All the way, the old Kane could keep up with the speed of him and Irene.
"Why did the fallen demons come to the Stone Wilderness? This should be the territory of the Blade Demon Lord Lakanishu." Kane was panting and complained angrily.
"Well... it's complicated to say. Simply put, I led them to the Stone Wilderness." Lan Wu's old face blushed.
"Huh?" Kane was stunned when he heard Lan Wu say this.
"Lord Kane, they should have attacked the Rogue Camp. He led these damn fallen demons away to create more adequate preparations for the camp." Volod was indeed a warm-hearted good man, and immediately defended Lan Wu briefly.
"Why did they attack the Rogue camp?" Kane was at a loss.
"Maybe... maybe it's because of me." Lan Wu was ashamed.
"Who are you?" Kane was even more at a loss.
"He is a God-Blessed One." Volod proudly revealed Lan Wu's identity: "He is a God-Blessed One personally recognized by Lord Akara."
"Are you really a God-Blessed One?" Kane's eyes suddenly lit up, and that look clearly said that the old man had never seen a God-Blessed One in his life, and today he finally saw a living one.
"He can learn all the skills of a professional." Volod proudly said for Lan Wu again.
Coughing twice, Lan Wu interrupted Kane's idea of continuing to dig deeper, and solemnly reminded: "I think we can put aside the issue of God-Blessed One for now. Now we have to find a way to escape. They are catching up with us."
"I think there is a place where we can escape from their pursuit." Kane was thoughtful, and his eyes glanced at Lan Wu from time to time.
"Go ahead, go ahead. I'm already unlucky enough, I don't care if I'm even more unlucky." Lan Wu was exhausted and started accelerating again.
"Have you heard of Tristram?" Cain suddenly asked.
Lan Wu was shocked. According to the plot of the game, Tristram is a special map to rescue Cain. You need to go to the Black Wasteland to find the Enifus Scroll, give it to Akara for identification, and finally go to the Stone Wilderness to eliminate Lakanishu and open the special portal to Tristram. He asked tentatively: "I have heard of it, but without the Enifus Scroll, can we be sure to open the portal to Tristram?"
When Cain heard this, he was surprised and happy: "So you also know the Enifus Scroll. I spent half my life looking for the Enifus Scroll. Finally, I found this ancient scroll. This time I came to the Stone Wilderness to open the seal of Tristram. As long as you input magic power into the five stone pillars in the order prompted by the scroll, you can open the door to Tristram."
"Look, are they the five stone pillars?" Volod suddenly spoke, raising his hand and pointing to the distance.
On the horizon, five tall stone pillars walked into Lan Wu's field of vision.
