Chapter 531
The caravan camped at Mill Hill and everything went smoothly.
In order to make the most of the open space, the people of Mill Town deliberately flattened the top of the mountain to form a small square.
Stone slabs were also laid out in the small square, apparently to facilitate the handling of grains.
Such as some millet that is damp and needs to be dried temporarily before grinding.
This small square is suitable for parking vehicles and forming a temporary large square, and it is packed to the brim.
Several large mills can be used as resting places for personnel, and can even be simply renovated in a destructive manner. Anyway, judging from the situation, they are already ownerless things.
A few merchants even wanted to go back and search the town.
Finally, they had an appointment with Jared when they first joined the group, and they were worried that they would do this without saying hello, but would be abandoned by Jared afterwards. Naturally, they were stopped, and a crisis was avoided.
In Morgana's words: "Magic plague is not only transmitted by being bitten."
Through this incident, Jared deliberately called everyone together and reiterated the severity of the current situation.
For this reason, he specially asked Anika to demonstrate what the Buff would be like without the Fire of Life.
Jared said to the frightened people: "It is the greatest luck of our trip that we can meet the female Anika.
We should never downplay the horror of the extreme environment we are currently facing just because we are protected in time and well enough.
I know that many people here are used to taking risks. To be able to continue doing business in such a harsh environment is to risk their lives and make money.
But I still hope that everyone can see and think clearly about which money can be made and which money is too risky and not worth touching.
Finally, I would like to emphasize again that although our assembly caravan is a temporary group, we still have to abide by the basic rules. This is to take care of the feelings of others and for our own good.
The most important thing is communication. No matter what your reasons are, once you plan to act privately, please be sure to let me know first. "
Next, people went about their daily lives, cooking, eating and resting separately.
There is no need to mention anything special in this regard. People even had the foresight to prepare dry firewood and even charcoal made by retorting, because they were worried that it would be difficult to obtain qualified firewood after entering a new rainy area.
In addition, there is no difficulty in eating. The time when the Dark Tide broke out was after the Harvest Festival in the North. At least for a short period of time, most villages and towns were not short of food.
The problem is that big cities cannot be self-sufficient because the autumn grain has not yet been collected.
Jared's caravan makes this money, but what he sells is not ordinary food, but a series of bacon similar to the extraordinary version of Jinhua ham. This is not for ordinary people, but for the extraordinary group represented by the church. .
In someone's words: "Don't say it's raining, even if it's a knife, you can't miss the food of the old man, otherwise no one will be able to live well."
As the provider of the Fire of Life Buff, Anika naturally received extra preferential treatment, the best food and utensils, and special companionship.
Jared and Morgana know how to tread a fine line, not appearing too flattering, but also making people feel the highest level of courtesy. Anika has never enjoyed such enjoyment in her whole life.
If there was one, it was the tower rest arranged by Sara before at the Cursed Castle. It was short-lived and comfortable and thoughtful but not down-to-earth. Unlike now, she could enjoy it without feeling forgetful and restrained.
If you treat others with kindness, you will do your best to repay them.
After midnight the work came.
It looks like the townspeople of Mill Town have all turned into oil-skinned corpses. They were so hard-done that it was like the skeleton was covered with a layer of latex skin two sizes too small. It was so greasy that it reflected light when washed away by the rain.
The movements of these oil-skinned corpses are not stiff at all. They are as flexible as monkeys. Even their walking patterns are similar to monkeys. They use their hands and feet together, and sometimes jump forward diagonally.
The most eye-catching thing is their green eyes, with no pupils visible, the entire eyeballs are glowing, and there is even light mist from the nitrogen box flowing out of the eye sockets. The main theme is full of power, but at the same time it is inhumane.
"It's already an evil creature, and its grade is not low!" Morgana made a conclusion with a sinking face.
Hei Luobo nodded secretly. This guard captain was indeed knowledgeable.
He took a fancy to a few of these evil corpses and decided to intercept them as Baal's puppet embryos.
The reason why he seems so greedy is not to save time, effort and resources, but mainly to follow suit.
Imagine that the Demon King Baal wreaks havoc on the world and does whatever he wants. When he goes to a certain place, he suddenly becomes interested and becomes more playful, so he promotes some of them as servants of demons——
This kind of follow-up is more convincing, and his actions are invisible throughout the process.
On the contrary, if he still fabricates his own flesh and blood as he did in the past, even the parasites and reproductive attire made for the treasure hunting team will still have clear marks and full of personality.
"It's nothing, just leave it to me." Anika said with great care.
She is very expressive now, not to show off to others and gain awe and adulation, but more like a member of the family who wants to contribute to the family with a "everyone for one, one for everyone" mentality.
Without waiting for Morgana to dissuade her, Anika said hello and flew out directly, falling diagonally from the top of the mountain.
Morgana said "" and hurriedly arranged for her trustworthy subordinates to complete the auxiliary work.
For example, support and coverage. At least, if Anika wants to retreat, it will be easier for her to retreat.
Jalid had people wake up. The advantage of choosing the mountaintop mill is that it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but the disadvantage is that there is no way to retreat. Since they really encountered the demonic disaster, they naturally had to exert every bit of strength of the caravan.
Of course, people soon saw what it meant to mow the grass without a pair.
These evil corpses were only slightly stronger than the ordinary monsters in the first copy Anika encountered. She had more than graduated from the second copy. Her skills filled the slots, merged them, and then almost filled them again.
To deal with this type of single-type group of monsters, it was really like a full-level boss killing back to the novice village. Purely bullying, showing off skills in fancy ways, kicking all over the field, and wherever they passed, there were broken limbs and bodies, and no whole corpses.
Moreover, with the population of the mill town, a 100% conversion rate was not enough for her to kill. In less than ten minutes, thousands of evil corpses were gone.
The most exaggerated thing is not this, but the fact that these evils were destroyed in such a way that none of them escaped. They were all furious and frantic, as if they would be worth sacrificing their lives if they could make Anika spend more energy.
This is not the effect of the halo of ridicule, but the effect of Hei Luobo's fear field.
Anika's main law is not fear, but destruction. The role she plays determines that she can destroy.
Killing is the main law, and revenge is also indispensable.
So in terms of law, she is not related to the three kings and seven dukes, so Hei Luobo helps to bless some auxiliary effects.
Under the clever use of the fear field, the stronger Anika is, the more afraid the enemy will be, and the more afraid they are, the more powerless and furious they will be.
This is the logic of this group of evil corpses who are crazy and fearless, knowing that they are no match for the enemy, and insisting on giving their heads.
After killing all the evil corpses, Anika, who put away her knife, formed seals with her hands and immediately outlined a not-so-complex rotating magic circle on the ground in front of her.
The magic circle light mist surged, and a hellish dream horse with muscular lice knots, mane and four hooves with flames at the end appeared.
This was what Herobo had prepared for Anika, or rather, Anika had learned the skill of summoning a hellish warhorse.
However, this warhorse had never appeared in this world, so no one knew its origin.
The dream horse spewed flames from its mouth, and the flames turned into a large number of small fireballs and fell on the corpse, and then, like gunpowder being ignited, they turned into a large handful of light flames, which quickly burned through the fire, leaving only ash.
While the dream horse spread hellfire to burn the corpse, it also obtained the reward of salvation from the ashes.
After a circle, ram horns grew on the forehead, and many parts of the body were covered with stratum corneum, like a hanger,
It looked a bit like a natural heavy-duty mount.
Anika raised her hand to it, and the dream horse leaped into the air, turned into a stream of light, flew towards Anika, and finally circled around the wrist of the hand she picked up, becoming a flame tattoo with slowly flowing light.
Anika jumped back to the flat top of the hill as if walking on flat ground.
Morgana and Jared, wearing raincoats, almost lined up to greet her.
Jared said respectfully but kindly: "Thank you for your hard work."
The group of people behind him also saluted together: "Thank you for your hard work!"
Obviously, this was discussed in advance.
Anika was happy about this scene, but also felt embarrassed.
However, Morgana quickly resolved it: "Anika saved our lives, and a few polite words can't offset it, but now is a critical moment, please do your job, even if you are not a combatant, try to take care of yourself, don't make low-level mistakes, and disperse."
Then he said to Anika: "There is hot soup on the fire, maybe you need to quench your thirst and warm your body."
Anika naturally took the opportunity to get off the hook, nodded to everyone, and then went back to the house.
After sitting down, Morgana served Anika a bowl of fragrant bacon soup, saying: "I have seen high-level strange people fighting more than once, but none of them is as different as you. You seem to exist specifically to deal with groups of enemies!"
"I have indeed received special training and am used to this kind of scene." Anika sipped the broth.
Morgana did not ask further, but changed the subject: "You were close to those evil corpses just now. Did you identify their identities from their clothes?"
Anika stopped her action, thought for a second or two, and said in a deep voice: "It is very likely that they are townspeople!"
"In this case, I am afraid that I can only rely on you in the future."
Anika nodded: "I am willing to contribute to the caravan."
Before the broth was finished, someone came to report the new situation, and the typhoid rat came up.
Anika frowned, then said in surprise: "I can't even sense them."
Morgana also raised her eyebrows: "It is very likely that they are driven by someone."
Anika drank the soup in the bowl in one gulp, chewed the chewy bacon, and walked out of the mill, looking in the direction pointed by the guards.
In the dark place between the houses at the bottom of the mountain, there was a blue-green light like broken silver. It was the light emitted from the eyes of the typhoid rats, and they were gathering.
Anika thought about it, summoned the dream horse, and then pointed. The dream horse stood up, neighed, and then stepped on the flames with all four hooves, rushed towards the location of the typhoid rats, and left a line of fire behind that could not be extinguished by freezing rain.
The dream horse does not even need to spit flames from its mouth, just trample it, and it can create a fire effect on the area it rushes through. Even extraordinary people will be burned to pieces if they do not deal with it properly, not to mention the small mice.
Moreover, Hell Flame VS Magical Plague can be regarded as fighting poison with poison. At present, Dream Demon Horse is even better. If you want to reversely suppress Hell Fire, which has the property of burning all things, you can only rely on the plague power generated by the typhoid rats.
It's obviously not enough.
However, the dream horse, which seemed to have successfully broken through the formation and trampled the swarm of typhoid rats to pieces, just started to turn around when he saw a large number of typhoid rats gathering again in another adjacent area not far away.
It was like scaly water emerging from the darkness and then gathering.
"Illusion? Or are there really so many typhoid rats?" Anika was not sure, but she still connected with her mind and sent an order to the Dream Demon Horse to continue the strategy of trampling and burning.
Morgana, on the other hand, warned her subordinates: "Pay attention to detecting abnormalities. The enemy is likely to use the typhoid rats as a cover to launch a surprise attack."
The guard nodded in agreement and went to convey Morgana's latest reminder.
Anika felt that she was also reminded and added: "Pay attention to the rain, there may be a problem."
There is indeed something wrong with the rain. Just as Anika was talking, some of the rain had begun to gather like living creatures. Soon after, in a relatively dark and secret place, the rain condensed into a nearly two-meter humanoid form, and then a faint light glowed inside. Turning, there will be evil visions like water escaping, crossing the boundary from the water people,
However, one of them was discovered by two guards who were responsible for patrolling seriously. The two men blew a warning whistle like a dog whistle that could only be heard by extraordinary people, while projecting alchemical explosives.
Morgana's escorts have a very methodical fighting style. In such a medium range, the first thing they do is throw explosives. It's a bit like a supernatural version of grenades, but it doesn't mainly rely on the shock wave of the explosion and high-speed fragments to damage the enemy. Pollution by extraordinary energy.
The effect is like colorful paint. It looks like a small bottle, but it can produce a large amount of extraordinary pollution with a luminous effect.
Xie Yi, who was splashed with paint, was very angry, ‘! ’ With a sudden movement, his whole body radiated light, and he finished riding on the face. However, the powerful claw strike that he took advantage of, similar to drawing a sword, was firmly blocked by a broad sword.
Morgana arrived. Her strength was not bad, her sword skills were not bad, and the sword itself was extraordinary. An ordinary caravan captain could not afford a magic sword of this level.
At the same time, Anika appeared in the sky in the center of the small square.
She couldn't detect the Water Man, but Xie Yi used a water-like escape method to replace the Water Man and appeared on the top of the mountain, and she immediately noticed it.
Now, she released all six flying swords, not to kill directly, but to block one or two to prevent the invading evil spirits from launching indiscriminate attacks in their respective areas.
Anika's flying sword was quite powerful, and Xie Yi had life instinct just as she expected. When faced with the flying sword that turned into a rainbow and shot towards it, her priority was to defend or dodge.
At that moment, Anika analyzed the attack status of each flying sword and chose one of them. She used the charging skill and rushed towards the enemy with the afterimage. She charged and slashed with the sword. This attack was both speed and power. , or the strike range, are both powerful. The best response is not to retreat and dodge, but to charge forward.
But those who can make correct judgments in the flash of lightning, accurately grasp the timing, and complete actions in a timely manner,
At least these few evil beasts that secretly invaded could not do it. The result was that the sword was as bright as a sword, appearing and then fading, and a powerful evil beast had been cut into two pieces——
