Chapter 19: The Ruins of Terror

After deciding, the soul of the warrior was taken away to the black field.

Although there were traces of water everywhere at the edge of the swamp, there was no annoying swamp trap, so he crossed the border of the Misty Swamp map smoothly, and after a few minutes, entered a very unfamiliar area.

"Ding" system prompt: "You have found a new map of horror ruins, reputation +200." ”

Finding that the map gives prestige, the soul of the war army has long known, and after looking at his reputation, it has reached 26,700 points, which is quite a sense of achievement.

In the terrifying ruins, a darkness shrouded the earth, and everywhere in sight, it was all black - black trees, black weeds, black sky, black mist, and the terrible screams from time to time added a touch of horror to this black area, as if some irresponsible painter poured a whole bottle of ink between heaven and earth in one fell swoop, making people feel extremely depressed!

It seems to be a plain, and the area that can be seen is basically flat, and the small mountain pack a few meters high is the highest "peak" here. In the distance, a black figure could be faintly seen wandering around, it should be a monster, obviously, the scope of this map is very large, and what he sees so far should only be the tip of the iceberg.

There was a grunting sound, and not far away a tree that had been dead for an unknown number of years, clad in a black skin, stood alone, bare, leaving only a half-broken branch in the crown part.

On the branch, a black bird, which seemed to be a crow, stood there, staring at him, as if in warning, and made an abhorrent call.

Of course, the warrior spirit will not be afraid, it is too far to get here, and he is going to explore the map for a short time before heading back.

Although there are no undulating mountains, the ground is uneven, and there are deep and shallow pits and holes everywhere, as if they have been baptized by arrows. Despite its name, no ruins have been found.

The warrior spirit walked forward one foot at a time, and the dim candlelight above his head brought him a little pitiful light, so that he would not feel lonely.

The place was eerily quiet except for the terrible screams that had occurred from time to time, and when there was no sound. The entire area was shrouded in black mist, forming a necromantic paradise, and the war army spirit saw the necromantic monsters moving around, but he didn't move for the time being, the distance was a little far, he wanted to get closer, and then recognize.

As he walked forward, he didn't notice that the black haze behind him was getting thicker and thicker, and in the mist was also a black shadow pupil. After walking 4 or 5 hundred meters from the edge, the battle army spirit felt a trace of powerlessness, and hurriedly opened the battle record, only to find that he had been infected by the dark aura. The warrior soul felt a little ridiculous, was the dark aura those black mist? Actually reduced his full stats by 10%, it seems that this terrifying ruin is definitely not a good place.

After another step forward, the dark shadow in the distance became more pronounced. Glancing to the right, the battle spirit actually saw a cloud of orange light, what was that? The inquisitive warrior spirit decided to change direction and go to the place where the light was radiating to find out.

After walking for about three or four hundred meters, a collapsed arrow tower suddenly appeared in front of the soul of the battle army, and the partition and ceiling on the arrow tower had already fallen to the ground and shattered bones. There seemed to be a hut underneath the tower, and it was from there that bursts of yellow light emanated, and the light flickered from time to time, and he knew that it should be the light of a candle.

The warrior knocked on the so-called door, but there was no response for a long time, and he was about to push the door in, when suddenly, a pair of eyes appeared in the gap in the door, it was a pair of blue eyes, but it was certain that it was a person.

With a creak, the door opened, and a blonde man in iron armor stood in the doorway looking at him.

"Are you...... Mankind? From the human camp? ”

The iron-armored blonde man was actually very handsome, but maybe it was because he hadn't washed for many days, his face was dark and abrupt, and he didn't seem to be very old, he was almost a peer of the Battle Army Soul, and he could see that he was a little excited, just looking at the Battle Army Soul like that, he asked curiously.

Warlord told him that he was from Ironstone, and apparently, the young NPC was even happier, and he told Warlord that his name was Lille.

After a few small talks, the warrior spirit asked, "Lille, why did you come here?" ”

Lille was stunned, and a look of fear and sadness immediately appeared on his face, and it took a long time for him to tell the Warrior Spirit why he was here.

It turned out that this horrible ruin was a small town inhabited by humans a long time ago, but one day, black clouds rolled from the sky, covering the entire town in the blink of an eye, the sun in the sky was gone, the warmth was replaced by cold, the flowers and trees also died, and the livestock were killed in the howl.

Just when people were panicking and didn't know what to do, a black-robed man fell from the sky, instantly collected everyone's souls, and used these souls to awaken many dead spirits, and many people who had been dead for many years also crawled out of the ground and became a member of the skeleton corps. In this way, the town was shrouded in darkness and became a world of the dead.

Lille is a soldier of the third squad of the second squadron of the first brigade of the Red Rock Knights of Ironstone City, not long ago, the large black that shrouded the town that had become ruins, that is, the evil magic summoned by the black-robed man, the dark sky, suddenly emitted a large fluctuation, and the coverage area suddenly expanded several times.

The Knights sent their team and a light mage to scout the situation. Lille found that the dark canopy was far beyond the town, but it was difficult to determine exactly how much area it covered, but his teammates were quickly torn apart by the undead, and they all lost their lives one by one.

Only Lille came to this abandoned arrow tower by chance, and lived in the hut under the arrow tower, I don't know why, the necromancers surrounded this land, but they never approached here, and he saved his life, for this time, he was almost unable to support it, only his own life, it was really difficult, of course, the supplies were enough.

Listening to the description of this NPC, although there seemed to be some inaccuracies in the words, the War Army Soul knew that this should be the opportunity to trigger the mission, so he did not hesitate to follow the tone of the NPC Lille and said:

"I see, it seems that the stupid undead haven't had enough of the lesson, it's really hateful, as an ordinary martial artist in Ironstone City, can I do something to help you?"

Lille was shocked by the words of the war spirit, and said:

"It's wonderful, God of War bless. Brave warrior, it is difficult for me to complete the task assigned to me by the peak alone, but I must reply to the order as soon as possible, but at the moment, I really don't have this ability.

Brave warrior, I hope you can help me with my reconnaissance mission, would you like to? ”

"Ding" The system prompt sounded: "Lille asked you to explore the scope of the horror ruins for him, do you accept the mission?" ”

"Accept." The warrior spirit replied.

Lille nodded and said:

"Well, please help me see how big this horrible ruin really is, and record everything you see: terrain, creatures, monsters, or whatever.

I need you to be able to complete this task as soon as possible, I am running out of time, I need to report back to my superiors as soon as possible so as not to delay the military plane, knowing that the abominable undead will not give us plenty of time. ”

"Please rest assured, I will complete the task as soon as possible." The spirit of the war army said.

"I stumbled upon the water that the priest has blessed with the light to make you immune to the invasion of darkness, come, drink this glass of water, it should be able to help you get to the task faster and safer."

Ding" system prompt sounded: "Please complete the [Explore the Horror Ruins] quest within 10 days of world time, and report to Lille after completion, and you will get a rich reward." ”

The warrior spirit took a sip of the hot water given by Lille, and it seemed that the chill brought by the darkness had also dispelled a lot.

After a rest, all the attributes of the Battle Army Soul have been restored to full value, and some of them have returned to their peak state. He left the Arrow Tower hut.

Just as he turned around, the ding" system prompt sounded again: "You drink the hot water provided by Lille, you will be protected from the invasion of darkness for 10 days, and you will be able to avoid the negative effects caused by dark creatures to a large extent." ”

Wipe,The system of slamming the door,Ten days of the task period,The immunity status given is also ten days.,However,This hot water is really a good thing in the end.,Not only does it avoid the effects of darkness.,And it can greatly reduce the negative state.,It's really a good thing.。

But it's a pity, I don't know if I can get some more, otherwise, next time I come back, I'll have to go to the Church of Light to buy this kind of thing, it's broken, and I forgot to ask what this thing is. Alas, forget it, let's complete the task first.

Looking at the sky, the darkness still covered the earth like a canopy, and there was no way to discern what direction it was, and when I opened the map provided by the system, there was a large black patch on it, and a green point of light flickered at its edge.

That large black area is this horrible ruin, and that point of light is the soul of the army.

Looking at the map indications, the War Soul is currently in the northwest position, diagonally above the terrifying ruins range. The Warrior Spirit decided to turn right, i.e. from the west of the map. Follow the edge of the map all the way down, so that if nothing else, you will soon be able to investigate the perimeter of the horror ruins.

He noticed that at present, he is only in the map of "Horror Ruins", but he has not seen any so-called ruins, and he thinks that this map should not be small.

The warrior spirit walked alone on this dark land, and from time to time there was a "cooing" cry in his ears, as if there was this annoying blackbird everywhere here, and after careful confirmation, he already knew that the blackbird was not a crow, but it was even more disgusting than a crow.
