Chapter 267: The Vanishing Blade
Climbing over the peaks of purple cuckoos and through three curtains of living water, behind the waterfall is a magnificent and spectacular place.
Unlike the hot and humid jungle, the wind blowing on this land brings comfort and coolness, and the restless heart due to the humidity and heat gradually calms down.
However, the wind could not affect the Bloody Fangs, and his heart was already filled with anger and fear.
What catches your eye is the scorched earth after the fire, the charred soil, the collapsed buildings, the piles of corpses...... Every scene is stinging the heart of the leader of the Candlefire Guard.
It took months for the three of them to finally arrive at the base camp of the Blazing Blades, but as far as they could see, the base camp had been abandoned for a long time.
The ashes of the fire were mixed with the smoke and dust, and two thousand one hundred and twenty-six corpses were found in the night, most of which were old and children, and the number of young and middle-aged people was not very large.
Naturally, the Fierce Blade, which has been developed for hundreds of years, is naturally not the only one, and the population statistics three hundred years ago exceeded 50,000.
There are currently two possibilities:
The first was that the Leopard Man attacked the Blade base camp and destroyed it, taking all but a few untransformable orcs;
The second possibility is that after the attack of the leopard people, Blade organized the breakout personnel to successfully escape, some of them died in the base camp, some of them were captured and parasitized into leopard people, and the rest escaped from the clutches of the leopard people.
Judging from the number of leopard people who attacked Queen Anciga's swamp last time, the number of leopard people with combat power is about 1,000, because some of them have not been completely transformed into the battlefield have also been sent to the battlefield, and if it were not for the lack of manpower, the ruler of the leopard people would never have done this.
However, there are currently insufficient clues, and the most critical success conversion rate of the leopard people is not yet known to Cang Ye, so it is not known how many Fierce Blade members have been captured by the leopard people, and how many are still alive at present.
After thinking about it calmly, Cangye looked at the Blood Fang and said lightly:
"The attack happened three months ago, and if the Blade wasn't completely destroyed, there must still be survivors."
Thinking of the parasitic orc, Hull also spoke:
"Let's go find those monsters, they don't know how many of our compatriots have captured, maybe all of them have become like that, but there may be some people who have survived."
The three of them don't know where the remnants of the Blades have retreated, and if they find their captured compatriots, they may be able to get useful clues, and more importantly, the captives may be parasitized at any time, leaving them with little time.
Bloodfang lowered his head, not knowing what he was trying to write.
After a moment, he looked up, his expression returning to his previous advice:
"Let's go, let's go find those monsters!"
"Save our brother!"
As soon as the words fell, the familiar roar of everyone sounded in the distance, Hull's expression changed, and then he looked up at the sky, and sure enough, the twilight hour had passed, and the night had fallen!
In the night, the evil eyes of the leopard people flashed full of greed and filth, and the blood fangs were angry to this day, but they did not stop laughing:
"Filthy monster, I was going to find you!"
With the blade in hand, the bloody fangs shouted angrily, and split the skulls of the two galloping leopard men on the spot, exposing the pale brains as the color of ashes to the air.
The Legendary Professional, who was in a fit of rage, had a combat power that was 20% higher than usual, and the sniping of more than ten leopard men could not completely intercept the Blood Fangs, and four of them were slashed in the [Whirlwind Slash] released in their rage.
The number of leopard people was not large, it seemed that they were just sentinels waiting for rabbits, and in less than a moment, most of them were slaughtered by three people, and nearly eighty percent of them were committed by the Blood Fangs alone.
Cangye deliberately left a few heads, this group of monsters is not completely without wisdom, after the number of similar species continues to decrease, some of them take the opportunity to break through.
Following the breakout leopard man, Cangye and the others encountered the second team of snipers.
This time they met a legendary leopard man.
The leopard man was far larger than any other in its class, more than four meters tall and seven meters long, covered in black scales, and dragged a thick iron tail behind it, which could cut off the trunk of a tree with a slight swing.
If you are not mistaken, this must be a parasitic legendary dinosaur, and the leopard man has very strong leopard human characteristics left on his body.
As the battle is about to break out, the Bloody Fang rises to meet the dinosaur-type leopard people.
Combat Skill - Thunder Style!
Combat Skill - Storm Style!
Martial Arts - Blood Fang!
……
After several strong attacks, the Blood Fang firmly took the initiative, and the dinosaur-type leopard man was forced back step by step, adding many wounds to his body.
Suddenly—
The night appeared behind him like a ghost, and the dragon's scales were reversed, and lightning struck out from his waist.
Drawing the Sword!
Relying on the protection of the scale armor, the leopard man barely survived, but at the cost of a large piece of scale armor at the waist. At the same time, the Blood Fang finally gathered a killing move.
Martial Arts - Tide of Furious Waves!
The blood-colored energy entrenched all over his body, suddenly condensed thousands of sharp blades, and shot out in a vortex shape, and the dinosaur-type leopard man was killed almost without any backhand, and with the cooperation of the two, Cangye got about 18,000 experience points.
After two downs, Cangye accumulated 50,000 experience points again.
After tossing and turning several times, in another location of the source of the 'Blood of the World', in a valley forty kilometers away from the Fierce Blade base camp, Cang Ye and the others came to the entrenchment of five hundred leopard people.
There are many familiar faces among these leopard people, all of whom have been involved in the hunt for them or against Queen Ancika, and one fact can be established at this point:
The overall number of leopard people is not large.
Circling around the camp, there were no tents, no pots, no weapons, and even a pitiful amount of food. And the so-called food is just a bunch of weak and screaming dinosaurs and squeaking goblins left in cages.
The leopard man's feeding is very simple, open the cage and jump out of a living creature, and then poke out his head to lean over the other party and bite it, so that the prey can see the scene of being eaten alive, wailing and resisting but there is no way.
Each transformed leopard man is a semi-undead creature, so it only needs a small amount of fresh food to support physical skills for several days, and its dependence on food is very low.
In addition to eating, Cangye and the others were also fortunate to see the 'formal' parasitic transformation ritual of the leopard people.
The parasitic bugs were soaked in a pool, and the slow-flowing black liquid gave a viscous nausea feeling, and the leopard man came to the pool to scoop up a bug with his bare hands and stuff it into the mouth of a goblin.
Not long after the goblin swallowed it, he opened his mouth and roared, and the screams were terrible.
After a few minutes, the goblin's body erupted with a crunch sound, and then its body began to expand, and the flesh continued in a cycle of tearing and healing, until its green skin turned dark and grew stiff hairs.
This is only a preliminary transformation, the purpose is to shape the body, and after the parasite eats it and replaces its will, the transformation is truly completed.
Night finally saw the success rate of the transformation, only one of the twenty goblins was able to successfully transform, and the rest became a pile of waste after failure, and threw it into the pool to become nourishment for the growth of insects.
The conversion rate of the dinosaur is even lower, and there is not a single one of the hundreds that can be successfully transformed.
In the next moment, Cangye's eyes froze, and in his field of vision, he saw only a half-orc with his whole body tied up being pushed out.
