Chapter Ninety-Six: Infection (Stopper)
The eastern part of the Monster Forest, near the coastline, is affected by the humid air brought by the Sea of Mist, and in addition to the tall spruce, the forest here is also covered in small thorny juniper, a low shrub more than half a meter high, which causes a lot of trouble for Silent and Leni as they travel along one of the paths. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The small sharp thorns on the juniper soon hooked the hem of Celent's robe, but the rough-skinned Leni didn't care about it, and the small thorns streaked across her body, leaving only a shallow white mark, and the only thing that inconvenienced her was that these black locusts grew irregularly, and from time to time they would stumble her steps.
"Why did we choose such a bumpy path. After the robe was cut again, Celent couldn't help but ask.
"Little one, this is the Warcraft Forest. In addition to Warcraft, there are all kinds of alien races that you humans call them, and if you don't want to deal with them, it's best to keep quiet and don't strayed into their territory and cause unnecessary trouble. Leni took her mace and pushed aside a small clump of juniper in front of her, patiently explaining, "As far as I know, there is a gathering place of boar people not far ahead, and there are dozens of boar people living there, and those simple-minded guys are very difficult. ”
Seeing Selent's confused expression, Leni further explained, "Think of Arrow, a simple-minded guy who admits death. I sometimes even suspect that the guy is a boar man in an ogre skin. ”
If Arrow hears Lenny's evaluation, he will definitely shout unconvinced: "Actually, you are the outlier among the ogres!"
"I see. Silent wrapped his robes a little tighter, and dozens of Arrows were a real headache when they got together, so it was no wonder that Leni would rather take such a rough path than meet those guys.
However, it backfired on their desire to make a short distance on the path when they heard the sound of a wolf howling, and Lennie's face changed: "This is a war wolf domesticated by the boar people, I'm afraid they have already discovered our traces." Isn't it strange that the boar people usually sleep during the day?"
As soon as Leni finished speaking, a short crossbow bolt landed at the trunk of a tree not far in front of them, and the warning of the trembling tail of the arrow was very obvious.
"For a while, try to talk as little as possible, and act according to the look in my eyes. Leni only had time to say a word, and a tall boar man riding a black wolf with brown skin and strange tattoos appeared in front of them, armed with a short crossbow.
"Leni, I remember that you passed through our territory not long ago, why did you return so quickly, have you already found your tribe's relics?" asked the boar man, confused, as if he and Leni were still old acquaintances.
"Hayata, it's a pleasure to meet you again. Leni greeted with a smile, secretly relieved in her heart, Hayata was one of the few boar people who could communicate normally.
"Answer my question, ogre. Hayata uncharacteristically raised his crossbow and said vigilantly.
"I'm going to see Lord Leos, I have something important to report. Leni, who knew the boar man's straightforward nature, replied honestly.
"Lord Leos, what about this human?" Hayata pointed her crossbow at Serente.
"This is Silent who travels with me. Leni motioned for Septent to say hello.
"Y-Hello, my name is Celent and I'm a priest. Seeing the vicious Hayata, Serent's tongue was a little knotted. Under Hayata's nose with a thick nose ring, two fangs protruding from the outside of the lip look very aggressive.
"Priest, Holy See, Lenny, don't you know that the Beast Forest doesn't welcome followers of the Lord of Light?" Hayata asked hostilely.
"But Celent is a very important witness, and I must take him to the Magic Lion Ridge. Leni said without giving an inch, knowing very well that if she was weak at this time, she would definitely gain an inch with the character of the boar man.
"Witness, what witness? I can't fool you, Lennie. Hayata asked in a gruff voice.
"Witness about that magical storm during the day. Leni didn't want to overstimulate Hayata, who looked nervous, and explained sincerely.
"Magic Storm, do you mean the Undead Scourge?" Hayata's wariness grew a little thicker.
"It's not the same thing. You can't sense a magical storm thousands of miles away. Leni didn't know how to explain the difference between the two with Hayata, who had no magical talent.
"Are you sarcastic that I don't know magic? Hayata, who can't do magic, is also a strong warrior. Hayata jumped off the wolf and flexed her muscles at Leni and said.
"I didn't mean that. Leni said helplessly.
"And what do you mean?" said Celant, Hayata's stubbornness had come up.
"Let's not dwell on this issue, time is very short, Celent and I need to rush to the Magic Lion Ridge as soon as possible. Leni looked at the sky that was about to light up, and said impatiently.
"If you don't want to fight me, don't try to pass through the Boarmen's territory. Hayata said strongly.
"That's a hundred kilometers of detour. I promise we're just going through your territory and we're not going to do anything else. Leni felt a slight surprise, Hayata hadn't been so difficult to talk to before.
"That's not going to work, you can't do anything unusual in extraordinary times. Hayata insisted.
"Extraordinary times, Hayata, is there something wrong with the Boar People tribe?" Leni finally heard a little from Hayata's words.
"Shaman, he's been infected by the Scourge of the Dead!" Leni's words made Hayata finally hold back, and the majestic boar man warrior actually cried.
"What?Lord Thornz has been infected by the Undead Scourge What's going on?" Leni was shocked to hear the news, Shaman Thornes was not only the leader of the Boar People tribe where Hayata belonged, but also the spiritual leader of the entire Boar People tribe. Without the leader who could unite and restrain the boar people, God knows what crazy things the boar people would do because of it.
"Yes. The shaman seemed to sense something during the day, and suddenly went to the west of the tribe to inspect, and when the undead natural disaster broke out, in order to protect the tribe from being corrupted by the natural disaster, the shaman made a stubborn resistance. Although the Undead Scourge only stayed in the tribe for a short time before heading west, the Shaman was unfortunately infected. Hayata said, wiping tears from her eyes.
Salz is the Pope's status in the heart of the Boar Cult on par with the Holy Cult, and after he was infected by the Scourge of the Dead, every Boar Man felt like he had lost his backbone.
"How is Lord Thornz doing?" asked Leni eagerly, if Salz's death caused a Boar Man revolt, the nearby Ogre tribe would be the first to be attacked.
