It's dark at night.

The paladin sat alone in front of the campfire, his sword in his hand, and watched the darkness around him vigilantly. Although logically speaking, someone should have kept vigil with him. But after such a long journey, this group of adventurers was already overwhelmed, and even the toughest dwarves could not support it, let alone the others. The paladin was a little better than them, he believed in Mona, the god of the harvest, and it was okay to skip food for a few days under the blessing of this god. After all, the god of harvest is in charge of eating and sleeping, and as its devout disciple, the paladin has also reaped a lot of benefits.

But even so, the current paladin is also tired, no wonder, although the blessing of the gods allows him to avoid the entanglement of **, but the fatigue on the spiritual level is not so easy to eliminate. Not to mention the fact that the Qiē he saw in this town had given the paladin considerable irritation, and now he could see the painfully distorted expressions and faces of the civilians as soon as he closed his eyes, but he couldn't do anything. There was no way to even bury them, because according to the mage, these people were already covered in poison, and even if they were cremated, the smoke would be enough to kill them.

And even if buried in the ground, their venom-dripping blood will corrode the entire earth, and may even produce disease and pestilence, which is why this spell is so terrifying and tricky, it is like an atomic bomb, its power not only works now, but even lasts for a long time, to remind people of the original fear and despair.

According to the mage, the best way is to find a few followers of the cardinal-level sun god Amunla, and only the abundant positive energy of the sun god can completely dispel the gloom here. But the paladin is well aware. There are only a few cardinals in the Temple of the Sun, and they have been away for many years. No one can be found at all. Even if they find someone, it's another thing whether they want to come. There was originally a gap between the nine saints. The temple and the temple are not completely together. Not to mention that the status of the Harvest Temple where he is located is below the Sun Temple, even if the report is up, most of the other party will not pay attention to it.

As soon as he thought of this, the paladin couldn't help but hang his head, he had been in the temple for a long time, and he had heard a lot about those dirty things, to be honest, the reason why he chose to go out to be a "knight of pilgrimage" (referring to a paladin who did not want to hold a position in the temple and preferred to spread the teachings of the gods alone outside) was because he did not want to be controlled by those bureaucrats in the temple. But now it seems that some things are not just the way you want them to be.

"Click."

It was at this time. The paladin's ears suddenly caught a clear sound, which immediately alerted him, although it was not loud, but considering where they were at the moment, any kind of sound was likely to bring them disaster. Therefore, without the slightest hesitation, the paladin rolled over and stood up, and then he drew the long sword at his waist with a "swish", and watched the darkness around him cautiously.

Here it is.

Through the aliens, Jenn took a closer look at the small campsite. Under the insight of the Evil Eye, he could clearly see that there were three people in the carriage, and an object with an unusually bright magical light, if Jenn was not mistaken. That should be the Staff of the Ring. After all, this kind of intense magical aura is not something that can be possessed by any equipment. It can be seen that the Staff of the Tour is indeed here.

But Jenn didn't immediately grab the Ring Staff, he could clearly feel a powerful aura trailing behind him. However, the [Evil Eye] has no way to determine the specific location of the other party, and it seems that the other party should have a prop to cover up. This is not surprising. The Evil Eye is not omnipotent. Like in Kassandra's time, the cultists' guardian enchantments blocked its detection. For Jenn, however. It doesn't work.

Because sometimes the absence of information is itself a message.

As for the two vital signs, Jenn didn't particularly care, he already knew that one of the Storm Five was cursed, and he must have been in the carriage. The other two should be the nobles who were disguised as sent by the Tour de France to Phantom Star City, and in terms of soul power, they were only high-level spellcasters, and Elise and Sofina were enough to deal with them.

However, Jenn still didn't make a move, he just carefully manipulated the aliens silently through the jungle and lurked in the darkness -- for Jenn, the aliens were now one of the most convenient combat units he used, and after one brutal killing after another, the aliens themselves had greatly improved, and Jenn could be sure that as long as he could gain enough experience points to evolve them again, these aliens would definitely be able to reach the average three-star level. Although this level is not very strong among the combat units in Jenn's hands, considering the characteristics of the alien itself, it can be regarded as an extremely feared combat unit.

As for the upgrade direction of the alien, Jenn has already thought about it, but it is not the time yet, after this battle is over......... Well, we'll wait until later.

“…………！！”

A pitch-black alien fell silently to the ground, its body looked a little graceful, and its size was much smaller than the other aliens. However, Jenn does not underestimate its existence, which is the first "queen" to evolve among the aliens. It's just that, unlike the original "queen", this one doesn't seem to have a big frightening belly because it doesn't have the obligation to lay eggs, on the contrary, except for the head, its whole body looks not much different from the slender and graceful female body of an ordinary human -- except that it is wrapped in a thick layer of skin and has a long tail.

Because of this trait, Jenn is very fond of manipulating this alien, which not only has the characteristics of an alien, but also can move freely like a human, and because this alien queen is smaller than other aliens, it is also more suitable for reconnaissance and temptation.

But this time. Jenn didn't manipulate the Alien Queen to attack, because it was in his plan. Someone else attacked.

"Roaring ..............."

A low roar emerged from the depths of the forest, and the sound was heard. The paladin's face became more solemn and serious, and he reached out a hand and knocked on the door of the carriage next to him, waking up several of his companions. He raised his sword and stared warily at the dark forest around him, barely visible. At this moment, several other people had also woken up, and when they heard the constant low roar in the forest, their faces also changed slightly, the dwarf clenched the battle axe in his hand, and the half-elf also took out the dagger at his waist. As for the red-robed mage, although he seemed to be in a weak spirit, he still hurriedly opened the magic book in his hand and sang in a low voice to record the incantations. They are already experienced adventurers and naturally know what they should do.

But at the moment, everyone's spirit is not very good, even if there is a battle ahead, but the physical reasons will not be so easy to ignore, they are thirsty and hungry, and they have almost reached the edge. In this case, they have no idea how long they will be able to hold out -- of course. It also depends on who the opponent is.

Soon, they got the answer.

Yellow, seemingly incinerated undead creatures slowly emerged from the dark depths of the forest, their skeletons left above and below. The one in his hand is also broken copper and iron. This only made the adventurers more and more frightened -- although these skeletons did not hold weapons in their hands, but only carried agricultural tools such as hoes and sickles, it was precisely because of this. As a result, these adventurers quickly confirmed their identities before they died.

"Those bastards ............!!"

The half-elf held the dagger in his hand, gritted his teeth, and stared at the undead in front of him. Flames of anger pulsed in her eyes. At this time, the dwarf also put down the axe that was originally resisting on his shoulder, and his face was so gloomy that he could almost drip water. They can be sure. These undead creatures were the product of the transformation of the inhabitants of this town, and the thought of those innocent people being killed, their souls imprisoned, defiled, and turned into such wailing monsters made their hearts burn with a flame of anger.

And at this time, Jenn also calmly gave the order.

"Do it."

“……………… Roar............!! ”

With Jenn's order, the undead roared angrily and attacked the adventurer in front of them. They raised their weapons aloft and lunged forward.

"Attention, the other party is undead, be careful!!"

The light is shining.

The long sword in the paladin's hand emitted a dazzling light, instantly illuminating the originally dim camp. And under the illumination of the holy light, the movements of those undead creatures suddenly slowed down a lot. The ubiquitous divine light suppressed the evil in their bodies, but it did not retreat the undead creatures in front of them, but on the contrary provoked their anger -- once upon a time, they were also bathed in this light, but now, they have lost a single qiē.

"Bell!!"

The dwarf swung the axe in his hand and swung an undead attack, then he roared and swung his weapon forward, and the next moment the undead in front of him were cut down like a piece of log, and then the red-robed mage also whispered and stretched out his hand, and soon, a cone-shaped flame roared through it, covering the bodies of the undead, completely reducing them to ashes.

"Looks like our kids are doing a good job."

Looking at the adventurers who were still trying to persevere in the face of the undead's attack, Jenn raised an eyebrow and smiled slightly. Then he turned his head and looked at Elise beside him.

"It seems......... We need to put a little more pressure on them......... Iris, I'll leave it to you, no problem. ”

"Rest assured, master."

Hearing Jenn's words, Elise hurriedly raised her head and looked at the man beside her with a smug expression.

"I assure you, those human beings will taste the deepest pain and despair." (To be continued......)
