Volume 2 The Imminent Threat Chapter 49 If you want to despise it, you can despise it

The battle for the Ripple River Shoal came to an end.

The undead side was completely wiped out, and the human side was also killed and wounded.

The worst thing was the Cridro hunters under Fang Qiuling's command, they were all wiped out.

When the Dementors appeared, the Cridero Hunters assisted the Paladins in their attacks against the Dementors in order to maintain their attack on the undead. They also followed out of the camp and carried out bow and arrow suppression outside the camp. And when the Banshee appears, they are within the range of the Banshee's Howl.

The paladins resisted the banshee's howl with the immunity granted by the gods and the relatively high magic defense. The people in the camp received the impact of the banshee's howl, and the lethal magic effect had been reduced by half, except for a few people who were not in good health and were killed on the spot, the others were only severely injured. Tom Sr.'s attendants happened to be running far away and heard the wailing, but they no longer had the magical effect of death.

The Crider Hunters, the half-elven archers, they have fully endured the effects of the Banshee's Howl. The level of the half-elves is seventh, and there is no rank, and they do not have any conditions to resist the banshee's howl at all. So all of them died in the first place.

They are summoned creatures that do not leave corpses, but rather dissipate into emerald green dust.

In the world of the traveling mage, the fate card representing the hunter of Crider has turned gray and lies quietly in the graveyard.

At present, Fang Qiuling has very few fate cards. Needless to say, there is only one card left that can be used. I don't even know where the card from the graveyard is, and the Hunter of the Creedro card won't be able to be used for a short time.

The camp was busy.

The attendants bandaged each other and then began to rescue the fainting men in the camp. The eight adventurers hired and the leader Raymond had all come to their senses, their bodies were much stronger than those of the people, and they were relatively friendly under the influence of the banshee's howl. After a simple treatment, there is basically no problem, and you should be fine after a few days of rest.

Half of the horses in the camp were also dead. The lethal effect of Banshee's Howl is mainly aimed at the constitution of the six basic attributes, and if it is only about constitution, the horse's constitution is much higher than that of the people. Half of the dead can only be blamed on bad luck...... There are so many horses missing, and the return journey is estimated to be enough.

The main combat forces, the paladins and old Tom, are to seize the time to rest and recover their strength as quickly as possible. If the undead can send a convoy to attack, then they can send a second. If the undead launch a second wave of offensive now, then most of them will have to be accounted for here. You know, the undead have always been known for their numerical superiority.

Fang Qiuling drank a few sips of holy water and exhaled a long breath while sitting on the carriage. He didn't suffer any major injuries, but there were still a lot of bumps on his body. The strength of the Black Iron Beginner is no problem in hanging skeleton soldiers and ghouls, but it will inevitably bump into each other when hanging. If you want to be completely harmless, then you need to at least upgrade a large rank and step into the silver rank.

Fang Qiuling felt that he didn't make much effort in this battle, and most of the time he was playing soy sauce in the camp. Whether it was a banshee or a dementor, he was not enough to deal with it in the early stages, so he had to hide far away in the camp and not go up to cause chaos. In terms of strength, he can barely be called self-preservation.

After a few mouthfuls of holy water, his body couldn't help but relax a little, and his slightly dizzy mind returned to his normal clarity. The repercussions of the banshee's howl have passed. Looking around the camp, Fang Qiuling suddenly noticed that something seemed to be ignored by himself.

There is danger in heading to the Lianhe Shoal, which was confirmed as early as the departure from Jinhe Town. There is nothing wrong with all aspects of the news on its own, but when taken together, it is strange and unnatural. At first, the expected enemies were the orcs and their green-skinned friends. The green-skinned friends basically don't care, they come a lot, but they are also fast when they escape. As long as you kill the orcs, no matter how many goblins there are, you won't be able to turn the tables.

However, after arriving at the Lianhe Shoal, the orcs who were expected to appear had not yet appeared, and the traces of the bone frame were found first. When the actual fight began, there were no orcs in sight, and there was not a single shadow in sight, only a bone shelf. And the bone frame is really very innovative this time, and actually came up with the means of using a carriage for rapid maneuvering. This advanced tactical use surprised Fang Qiuling and was deeply surprised. But in terms of actual results, it's not very good. Neither the skeletons nor the ghouls were too fast to get out of the wagon and start the procession in the first place. If it weren't for the presence of the Dementors and Banshees to give the cannon fodder enough time to get out of the carriage, the cannon fodder might have been locked in the carriage. Whether it's an ordinary flame or a paladin's blue flame, it will cause heavy losses to the undead who are crowded in the carriage.

Judging from the current situation after the battle, the results are still significant. But the opponent unknowingly changes from an orc to an undead, which makes a lot of the preparations made in advance useless.

For example, the Crider hunters who were summoned were recruited for the purpose of recruiting these half-elf archers mainly to target orcs. Orcs rarely wear armor, and even when fighting, they like to "run naked" into battle, and archers are extremely threatening to orcs who do not wear armor.

However, if the opponent is replaced with the undead, then the threat posed by the half-elf archer becomes less significant, and the arrow does far less damage to the undead than the sword. The undead charge against a rain of arrows is not uncommon on large-scale battlefields. If he knew that the opponent had been replaced by an undead, and that the team was led by a banshee and a dementor, then Fang Qiuling would definitely have other arrangements and arrangements.

It's true that the undead are strong, but the fear of death and the numerical superiority are very head-scratching. But the weakness of the undead is also very obvious, and it is not difficult to restrain it in a targeted manner.

There was a slight movement in my heart, and the black reef on the shallow mud came to my mind.

The black reef was surrounded by dead air, and there was dead air transformed from negative energy. Even if an ordinary reef is black, it should not produce negative energy, let alone dead air. What's more, the black reef has traces of the six-pointed star of Schlevley, and the possibility of natural formation is very small.

- Could it be obsidian?

Fang Qiuling quickly thought of a possibility.

Using a certain process to process obsidian can make obsidian obtain excellent negative energy affinity, and it has a good performance in making magic props of the undead. The most common are obsidian statues, which are popular not only with the undead, but also with evil spirits who serve devils or demons.

Thinking of this, Fang Qiuling immediately jumped up and ran straight in the direction of the black reef.

Sino appeared behind Fang Qiuling unexpectedly, staying by his side every inch.

The camp is not far from the mudflat, just a few steps away. However, the black reef that once stood on the silt is gone, leaving only a huge pit.

Fang Qiuling did not rashly step into the mudflat. The sun is still nearly five hours away, and the night is still dangerous. Let a sleeping dog lie.

And by the light of the moon, the bottom of that huge pit could not be seen! The black reef was much larger than expected, and only a small part of the whole was exposed on the mudflat.

Shino's eyes were also a little more surprised: "My lord, this is the big black stone we saw during the day?" ”

"That's right," Fang Qiuling frowned, "I didn't expect it to be that big." There must be a problem. ”

Old Tom also came over. Fang Qiuling had already expressed this stone to him, and now that the stone was gone, leaving only a big pit, he was also amazed.

"Daddy, maybe we're messing with the undead. The goal of the bone frame is most likely not us, but this. ”

The fact that the undead would actually use a carriage to maneuver is not normal in itself. But if a horse-drawn carriage is needed to transport the goods, then it makes sense.

"Stones?!" Old Tom's eyes were a little straight, "They're here to dig a stone?" ”

A few weeks ago, Old Tom would not have believed rumors such as "ghostly cries can kill people" and "ghouls can pull out people's hearts and livers with one claw". These rumors can only be used to scare children who refuse to sleep. But old Tom doesn't think much of it now, especially after fighting the undead.

Old Tom's eyes were straight for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, he immediately asked, "What is the use of this stone?" ”

"I don't know. I only looked at it a few times and thought the stone was a little weird. God knows what the undead are up to. This broken stone is gone, and I won't go to grab it again? I don't know where to grab it, I don't know where the undead transported the broken stones, and I don't know how they were transported. ”

Saying that it is obsidian is just speculation, and it is not certain. What's more, now that the stone has been dug up, there is no way to confirm it. No matter how valuable it is, no matter how beneficial it is to the undead, there is no way.

“…… Let's talk about it. Old Tom wasn't a man who liked to get tangled, either, "Oh, yes. What's going on with that? ”

In fact, Old Tom followed Fang Qiuling out of the camp not to see the big rocks, but to come over and gossip.

Women are inherently weaker than men in terms of strength and physique, so there are very few women in power-based professions such as knights, warriors, and berserkers. Except for Lady Mogre, a man with very different talents and a little more strength than a man, Old Tom had not seen a second female paladin in most of his life. Today can really be said to be a long time to see, and I actually saw another one, who is not very old and has a good strength, and it seems that he is still entangled with Fang Qiuling. This needs to be picked up.

"What's going on?"

Fang Qiuling's face was inexplicable. The topic changed so quickly that he didn't react at all.

"That's it."

Old Tom winked his eyebrows, and mouthed at the camp. Fang Qiuling reacted quickly, but after reacting to it, how to send old Tom was a problem, and it was not a glorious thing to take advantage of other people's little girls. So Fang Qiuling decisively began to pretend to be stupid.

"What that? What did you say? ”

Fang Qiuling's eyes were pure and full of surprise.

- Since pointing out the acting skills. Dress up stupidly every day, and don't worry about being exposed anymore!

Shino quietly rolled his eyes on the side. As the third person who witnessed the whole process, she was clear about what had happened. But I don't know why, Sino felt a little sour in his heart, and an emotion that he had never felt before kept flipping in his heart.

"Thulick, don't play stupid! It's no fun to play stupid. Old Tom lowered his voice, "What did you do to the little girl?" Be honest. ”

Fang Qiuling's acting skills are no problem to deceive others, but Old Tom saw Lily "leading" the skeleton soldiers to Fang Qiuling with his own eyes. Say that there is no cat, how is this possible! What's more, when the little girl was knocked down by the ghoul in the end, Fang Qiuling rushed up as soon as possible. I'm afraid that the little girl will break her appearance, so she will throw it away first! Judging from the fact that the ghoul immediately began to dissolve, it was not a bargain like No. 7 or No. 8 holy water!

Old Tom used to only think that energy potions were good things, the price was not expensive, the quantity was sufficient, and the most important thing was that the effect was good and immediate. Now he thinks that holy water is also a good thing, which can be taken internally and externally. Not only can it heal physical wounds, but it also has a purifying effect, especially against the undead. However, compared to the price of energy potions, the price of holy water is relatively expensive.

No. 7, No. 8, No. 9, these three models of holy water are inexpensive, and farmers with a little savings can buy them. From the sixth, the price of holy water began to soar. A bottle of Holy Water No. 6 is equivalent to the same volume of gold. However, from another point of view, the healing effect brought by No. 6 Holy Water is no less than that of mid-level healing elixirs, compared to the price of intermediate-grade healing elixirs, which are slightly higher, and they are not easy to obtain. And the holy water can be obtained by donating a sum of money to the temple.

Smash the ghoul with a lot of holy water, Viscount Norn, do you have too much money to spend?

"I just poured a few bottles of holy water into her mouth."

"Just a few bottles of holy water?"

"It's just a few bottles of holy water. Oh, I took off her helmet when I poured it, otherwise it wouldn't be very good. ”

Fang Qiuling's gaze was calm, with an expression of clear conscience.

Old Tom looked him up and down suspiciously: "That's all?" ”

"That's all."

"Why does that little girl always lead the skeleton to you?"

“…… Because the taste of the holy water was a little strange, I was fed too much and choked her. ”

Fang Qiuling was now like squeezing toothpaste, trying hard, squeezing out little by little. Old Tom squeezed it a few times, and found that this stinky boy was now not in oil and salt, and he couldn't squeeze out any specific content. Just as he was thinking about how to continue digging deeper, Fang Qiuling spoke first when he arrived, and let him blow up his hair in one bite.

"Dad, I said how come you have been like a long-tongued woman lately, and you have started to like to inquire about the east and the west?"

"you! You're a woman with a long tongue! Hum! ”

Fang Qiuling chatted to death in one sentence, and Old Tom had no choice but to retreat. But defeat and defeat were defeated, and his ears were still standing high.

"Shino, what do you want to say......"

Although Sino didn't speak, a pair of sparkling eyes kept staring at Fang Qiuling's face.

"......" looked at each other for a short time, and Fang Qiuling retreated unexpectedly, "Forget it, I know." If you want to despise it, you can despise it......"
