Start a Core Pod - Chapter 662

  Chapter 662 Intermission

  One thing Duanmuhuai overlooked was that while he was running around to increase his strength, the evil gods were also not idle. Even if the swollen and disgusting part of the corpse in front of me is removed due to the blessing of the loving father, it can be clearly seen that it is an alien race. From this, it can be seen that a certain planet must have been poisoned by the taint of corruption .

   Well, this is not surprising, the Milky Way is so big, both sides are desperately opening up mines to upgrade their operations, but right now Duanmuhuai and Corruption are looking at the same mine.

  Duanmuhuai turned on the black flame without hesitation, and wiped out the ore and all the mutated creatures in the entire mine, and then he opened the connection.

   “Icot!”

   “Ah, Uncle, here we are!”

   “What is the current situation of the fleet?”

   “Uh… currently only the First Fleet can attack, and the rest are under maintenance…”

   “Send a reconnaissance fleet to my side! Also, let Maria and Kukulu speed up the repair progress! Remember, the action must be stealthy to avoid being discovered!”

   “Ah, yes…!”

The only luck is that there is an existence called “Crystal Wall” in this world, which is a peculiar “natural phenomenon” unique to the continent of Faerun. According to Faerun’s settings, in the “main material plane” of the real world , including many separate worlds. A world may be just a planet, or it may be a complete information including planets, satellites, asteroids, comets, and stars. And each world is sealed in a bubble-like crystal wall, and if you want to cross the crystal wall to reach other planes, you can only go through the phlogiston sea.

   It was precisely because of this that Duanmuhuai decided that it was obvious that this was not the arrival of the Chaos army, but more like a probe and investigation. After all, under the protection of the crystal wall, the Chaos fleet could not enter Faerun. And this guy probably appeared here through some means—well, recalling the plague in Neverwinter before, could it be…

  Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai’s eyes brightened.

   Are these guys planning to use this method to weaken Faerun’s crystal wall, and then directly descend on the army?

The more Duanmuhuai thought about it, the more he felt that this possibility was very high, but he didn’t want his conjecture to be true, because it meant that there might be a whole Chaos fleet waiting to rush in outside Faerun’s crystal wall system. Feast on it.

  This is definitely not good news for the Inquisition Court, which has just finished fighting with the cosmic monster and has been seriously injured.

  Of course, let’s talk about good news… It’s the filth of corruption, not treachery, but Duanmuhuai is relieved. Of course, it would be even better if it was the fury of tyranny.

   Head-to-head or something, it suits Duanmu Huai’s appetite the most.

  As for the evil of obsession… Duanmu Huai didn’t even want to take a second look.

  Of course, Duanmu Huai didn’t think about it at all as to whether this was a treacherous trick used to divert the tiger away from the mountain to divert attention and make trouble. He was too lazy to waste his brain cells on those idiots who were mentally ill and happy. Duanmuhuai only believed what he saw before making a decision, and then just called him!

   Nothing else matters!

   At the same time, in the Lost Land, there are also people who are acting for similar goals.

   “Woo…”

  The rotten, stinking monster roared and rushed forward, then fell headfirst into the muddy ground. The elf ranger in the lead frowned, looking at the monster corpse in front of him, without hiding his inner anger.

   “What kind of blasphemy is it to commit such a heinous act?!”

   What fell in front of the elf ranger was a wild sheep inhabiting the Lost Land, but now it has completely lost its original posture and turned into a rotten, smelly and disgusting monster.

   “Did it become some kind of undead creature?”

  The sorcerer next to him held his staff and looked at the corpse with the same solemn expression.

“No.”

  At the same time, a paladin with a long sword and shield came over.

   “Heim’s holy power is useless to it, it is not an undead creature.”

   “But… if it’s not an undead creature, then what is it?”

  “………”

   Facing this question, no one answered for a while, and at this moment, suddenly, a small figure quietly appeared beside them.

   “Hey! Are you still here in a daze?”

   “Little girl, where have you been?”

Looking at the halfling wanderer in front of him, the paladin showed a dissatisfied expression. Although she helped himself and others a lot in normal times, she would disappear without a trace every time she fought. Said to “patrol the surrounding area”, but everyone knows the timid nature of halflings… just hope she doesn’t run too far.

   “I found a strange thing, which is probably the culprit of all this!”

“oh?”

Hearing the words of the halfling wanderer, everyone immediately cheered up. The reason why they came here is because recently, there have been many mutated beasts on the edge of the highest forest. What cursed, became unrecognizable, and even the land where they were located was polluted after death, even the lush trees were not spared, so these people took action, organized a team to go deep into the lost place, and tried to investigate the truth.

But since entering the Lost Lands, the team has only seen countless mutated monsters. The beasts that originally lived in this area have been completely reversed and changed by an evil force, turning them into hideous, distorted, even It’s not like the existence of living things.

   And now…

   “Take us to see.”

  The paladin hurriedly focused his expression, put away his long sword, and looked at the halfling rogue. The latter nodded, and then led them into the depths of the wilderness bouncing and jumping.

  Led by the halfling, the adventurers passed through the nearby woods and came to a nearby high ground. Then they lay down on the ground and looked forward as the halfling pointed.

   “Look, it’s there.”

   While talking, the halfling pointed forward, and everyone looked up, and then they saw an unimaginable scene.

Not far below the high ground, there is a piece of ruins. Judging from the appearance, it should be the remnants of the former temple, and at this moment, there are hundreds of kobolds standing on the ruins, holding simple kobolds in their hands. Weapons, shouting excitedly. And standing in front of them was a kobold wizard with feathers on his head, shaking his arms, jumping up and down and shouting loudly.

   “God, bestow, power!”

   “We, happy!”

   “Happy! Hiss!”

  The kobolds, led by the wizard, also shouted loudly, and then the kobold wizard turned around, looked at the ruined temple in front of him, and fell to his knees.

   “God! Bestow, power!”

   “Boom…boom…boom…”

   Soon, a low footstep sounded, and then the adventurers saw a tall figure walking out of the ruins of the temple. Its figure looks as tall as a giant, and it is covered with dark green armor that looks thick and strong, but these armors are very dirty, not only that, even the abdomen of this steel warrior is also raised high, it looks like It’s like being blessed.

  The entire armor was covered with rotten flesh, and there were even many flies flying around it, as if the warrior in front of him was a rotten piece of meat that could walk.

  I saw him walk up to the group of kobolds like this, and looked at them silently. At this moment, the kobolds had already started to tremble under the gaze of this strange warrior, and instinctively lowered their heads and knelt on the ground.

  Then, I saw that weird green warrior suddenly raised his hand. The next moment, with his movement, countless flies flew out of his body, directly surrounding the kobolds. Those flies ruthlessly tore the skin of the kobolds and drilled into their bodies. Soon, the kobolds began to scream loudly and fell to the ground, rolling desperately, as if they were enduring some kind of unimaginable pain.

  Just the purgatory-like scene in front of them already terrified the adventurers, but what happened next made them even more unbelievable.

The bodies of those originally short and thin kobolds began to swell gradually, and pieces of carrion floated up from them like sponges, spreading, and in the blink of an eye, those originally thin and thin monsters turned into fat people who seemed to be able to walk. Pigs, however, their bodies were still full of sores and blood stains. Instead of healing, those wounds were torn and pulled apart during the process of swelling, and the rotting flesh and blood gushed out like tattered cotton—and then Large pieces of maggots can be seen falling from it like a tide.

   “Woo——!”

  The mage covered his mouth and turned his head away. The others were not much better. They had never seen such a profane, horrible, and disgusting scene.

   “What the **** is that guy, is he a devil from hell?”

   “It is impossible for the devil to stay on the main plane for a long time, but…”

  While speaking, the mage raised his head again and looked down, but at this moment, they saw the green armored warrior raised a square-looking black box in his hand, facing their direction.

“That is………”

“boom!”

   Before the mage could figure out what happened, there was a roar, and then her head exploded like an apple. The headless corpse that lost its head shook for a while, and then fell backwards.

   “We’ve been spotted, let’s go!”

The adventurers didn’t even have time to mourn their companions, they turned around and ran the next moment—their only task now was to leave here and report everything they saw, only in this way could they completely stop the storm that swept across this land. evil!

   “Boom boom boom——”

  However, soon they heard devilish footsteps coming from behind them.

   “It’s catching up!”

   Everyone turned their heads and glanced, only to see that the huge dark green figure had turned over the hillside and rushed towards them. It’s so fast it’s almost impossible to react.

   “Damn it!”

Soon, another barbarian warrior seemed to be unable to bear to escape. He suddenly turned around and raised his two-handed sword, shouting the name of his patron saint, and rushed towards the green giant head-on. The explosion sounded again, and the barbarian’s body was directly smashed into a sieve, turning into a pile of pieces of meat scattered on the ground, while the green giant stepped on his body and continued to move forward.

   “Bang bang bang bang!!”

  The deafening sound made the adventurers’ scalps tingle, and they almost ignored the elf ranger’s warning.

   “Into the forest! Into the forest!!”

  Hearing the elf ranger’s words, the remaining adventurers rushed into the forest—at the same time, the terrifying voice stopped.

   “Damn, what the **** is that?”

  Another warrior cursed in a low voice, and threw the shield in his hand aside. The shield made of pure gold had already been punched with several holes, and it was like a rotten board, which was useless at all.

   “What he holds in his hand is even more powerful than a cannon!”

   “Now is not the time to talk about this.”

  The paladin shook his head.

   “We have to leave here. No matter what, we must tell the queen what happened here. This wilderness has been shrouded in evil! We can do nothing alone!”

   “But how do we get past that guy?”

   The halfling whispered, they all saw the monster’s speed, which was far beyond their imagination. If it weren’t for the elf ranger’s familiarity with the forest, I’m afraid they would not be able to escape each other’s pursuit now.

   But this was only temporary, for they could hear the heavy footsteps approaching—along with a sickening stench and a buzzing sound.

   “There are only two groups of soldiers, one to attract his attention, and the other to take the opportunity to leave.”

  The paladin finally made a decision, then looked at the elf ranger and the halfling.

   “Go back and report, we are responsible for delaying that monster’s progress!”

“Can………”

“We are not as familiar with the forest as elves, and we are not as good at hiding as halflings. If we go together, he will catch up sooner or later! But now, we can lure him to another direction, and you take the opportunity to leave! Go! There is no time! “

  “………”

  No one said much, the halfling and the elf ranger looked at each other and nodded.

  Then the paladin and the remaining warriors turned and ran towards the depths of the forest, while the elf ranger grabbed the halfling.

   “Follow me! Don’t talk!”

  Watching the elves and halflings disappear into the woods, the paladin heaved a sigh of relief. He clenched his long sword tightly and kissed the holy emblem on it.

   “May Lathander protect my courage until the end.”

“Aha.”

   Watching the actions of the paladin, the soldier next to him chuckled.

   “If Lathander really appears, he should immediately come out with a thunderbolt and kill this monster!”

“You do not understand.”

  The paladin shook his head and put away the holy emblem.

   “It’s Faith.”

   “I only know that when people die, there is nothing left.”

  The warrior clenched the battle ax in his hand and lowered his voice.

   “But unfortunately, it looks like we are going to die here.”

  “………”

  The paladin didn’t speak. He clenched his long sword tightly and hid behind the rock, while the warrior hid on the other side. They could hear footsteps getting closer, closer. And then—the holy knight jumped up, raising the holy sword in his hand high.

   “Lathander, please grant me the shining brilliance, and destroy the enemy!”

Dazzling holy light erupted from the sword with the roar of the paladin, which even made the green warrior stop. At the same time, the warrior ran out from behind, roared and raised his battle axe, facing the green armored warrior without a trace. Covered by armor, the mutated and ugly right claw slashed down hard.

   “Pfft——!”

The blade cut into the green armored warrior’s arm, but he didn’t get the proper response. That arm looked extremely thick, and the cut made by the warrior’s violent blow was just a piece of meat that was rolled up in a moment. Re-covered, before he could react, he saw the green armored warrior raised his left hand and swung it vigorously.

The whistling sickle turned into a whirlwind, blowing away everything around him, including the paladin. He only felt a powerful force rushing towards him, and then he flew upside down the next moment, breaking all the way. He tore down several tree trunks before falling to the ground, but at this moment the paladin could no longer get up, he could feel that his bones had been broken, and even the armor on his body was broken into pieces and pierced into his own flesh and blood.

  The last thing the paladin saw at this moment was the scene of the green giant striding towards him.

  Hope…they can leave safely.

   This was the last thing the paladin thought about before losing consciousness.
