ACT021: Elf Ranger
The dazzling bright light instantly deprived everyone present of their eyesight. Weiss felt the whiteness in front of him, the sound of gunfire, roars, and the hiss of the parasites mixed together, and the entire senses became chaotic for a moment.
The white light spreading was like a surging tide, not just a simple illumination, but a full coverage. The corpse worms lying on the back of the parasite were roaring in pain in the white light, and had to control the parasite to flee. When Weis and the others recovered their vision, there was no trace of the enemy except for thousands of corpses around.
"Are they... retreating?" Ling Lan asked Weiss in disbelief.
"It seems to be..."
With the blessing of this fierce female elf, everyone on the Enterprise survived the parasite siege. God ended his "release" this time. The lingering fearful captain immediately let the airship take off and retreat to the safe air.
"It's so lingering! I almost thought I was going to explain here tonight." Lie on the railing, he looked at the battlefield below for the last time, and Weiss wisted the rain on his face and said with gratitude.
The scene of fighting in the heavy rain and waving weapons to make the blood and water fly together is indeed quite exciting, but after the fight, the wet clothes sticking to the body will make people feel very uncomfortable. However, Weiss immediately realized something, and a pair of shining dog eyes secretly glanced at Ling Lan beside him...
Damn! Waterproof material, bad reviews!
The two men who came out of the special prisoner-of-war camp had no other clothes except the set of "imperial gifts" on their bodies, and they couldn't wear the clothes of goblins and dwarves. The waist was three times thicker than yours, but their legs were only one-half of that of yours. The dwarves' "round body" made their shorts straight and they could be used as tents. Fortunately, Kabbalah could use magic to help them dry their clothes, which was a little more comfortable.
"Let's just do it first, wait until the place where you have the conditions to take a bath. In addition, for politeness, we must first thank the elf lady who just saved us."
The elves who saved everyone were named Adele Xilin, who was a ranger in the Elf Goddess Kingdom. They were the kind of elves who were unwilling to stay honestly on the ancestral land God's Tears Island and liked to wander around the world. However, the other party would appear here, not because she happened to pass by, but because her destination was like the Enterprise, who was going to Nadal's Principality.
Not long after the Enterprise departed, a small number of survivors brought the news out in the affected areas. If the dwarves could wait for another day in the Principality of Nima, they would not have felt as ignorant about the status quo as they are now.
It is worth mentioning that the chess pieces that the other party has are not "shooters" and "warlocks" that are more common in the elves, but extremely rare "chariots". Ling Lan even recognizes that the other party's weapon is the "Roaring Mountain" used by the monks of the Donglinzhou Zen Master Academy. God knows where she got it from.
"Miss Xilin, I'm frank, I'm afraid that the territory of Nadal's Principality is now a world of corpse worms. Even if you have great skills and have treasures to restrain them, the plagues spread by those insects are not immune to the chess piece owners!" Thinking of the four dwarves "chess pieces" who died tragically on the Agility, Scardo kindly dissuaded.
"You don't have to worry about this. The purpose of this trip is to deal with these corpse worms." As soon as the elf Adele swears, everyone present was surprised.
Admittedly! The other party's luminous short rod does have a significant effect in restraining zombies, but no one believes that just one elf can deal with a catastrophic creature known for its quantity and spread. It single-handedly entered the core area of the severely affected area, which in their opinion is no different from dying.
"Does the elves have any good strategies to cure insects?"
After thinking for a while, Weiss suddenly asked Adele. Because he knew that in history, the four large-scale outbreaks of zombies in zombies were not only the last time that the human Victor Empire had been in its later years, but the first three times were all elves. If they became sick for a long time, they might have any "subtle tricks to cure insects".
"I do have a way to drive them back to the ground, but I have to go to the temple in the capital of Nadal."
It turns out! The elves who have suffered three corpse insect disasters in history do have their own response measures, which is to use the large number of temples they have built over thousands of years to release a light-attribute wide-area magic in the affected area, and force the corpse insects climbing from the underground holes back. Therefore, the third and fourth disasters spread were effectively curbed before things became uncontrollable. However, the preparation process required to use this wide-area magic is not simple!
First of all, there must be a large temple at the level of the main hall in the affected areas. The elves of that year put in a lot of effort. The existing large temples in Nanfengzhou can cover more than 90 areas, so there is no need to worry.
Secondly, there must be a special rune bead on the top of the temple that needs to be activated, and this bead is only valid for 100 years. Fortunately, the elves who have retreated to the Divine Tears Island will still regularly recycle and replace these beads to ensure that all temples in the Gagoba area (the name of the elves to Nanfengzhou) can be used at any time.
Originally, the orb at the top of the Nadal Temple would not expire for at least 5 years, but what was unlucky was a thunderstorm last month. A lightning flashed into the temple and smashed the orb at the top. Then the disaster did not happen. The corpse worm, which had not appeared for more than 500 years, rushed out of the ground at this time. The Duchy of Nadal, caught off guard, soon lost contact with the outside world.
"This insect storm came very suddenly, and the timing was very bad. When the outbreak broke out, I was in the neighboring Duchy of Yorkson. Some refugees who escaped by chance brought the news. Some of my tribesmen were changing the orbs of the main temple in the area, so I used the ones they replaced for emergency treatment."
Adele said, taking out the short staff she had used to disperse corpse worms from her waist bag. Although the oval bead at the top was still radiating light, if you look closely, you will find that there are many wear areas on the surface. Obviously, it is not too short.
"This orb has been in the Yorkson area for 97 years and can be used barely a few times. As long as we can place this pest crisis in the main temple in Nadal before these bugs spread out of the first encirclement net, we can relieve the pest crisis."
"Is that white light really that effective?" Weiss asked. He was worried that this method would be temporary. After the white light dissipated, the bugs would climb up to continue to cause trouble.
"The effect is unquestionable. High-purity light elements can cause serious damage to corpse worms. They can even directly kill them after a certain period of exposure. After being severely damaged, these insects will escape to the ground and sleep and will not wake up again in a short period of time."
"If that happens, can you ask you to use the orb in your hand to help us save a dwarf? He was parasitized by a corpse worm and his life is at stake. If you are willing to help, then we may send you directly to the Temple of the Capital of Nadal. The sky is not only safer than the ground, but also travels faster." Although Weiss is not the captain of the Enterprise and cannot make decisions for Scaldo and the others, he feels that the transaction conditions he proposed are very beneficial to both of them.
"No problem, I still have medicine here."
Relying on the orbs and special medicines in Adele's hand, the two seriously injured people on the Enterprise were soon out of danger. The airship immediately turned around and continued to advance towards the Nadal region. It is expected to arrive at the temple near the capital in two days. However, as the airship gradually penetrated into the hinterland of the Nadal region, the solemnity in the air became stronger and stronger. For the first time in his life, Weiss felt such a strong breath of death.
Following the original route, Enterprise arrived at the town of Sitas, which was expected to be replenished, but when they flew over the town, it had become almost the same as the town of Ghost. There was no figure in the air with a telescope. The empty streets were silent, and there was not even much blood, but there was a "familiar" stench floating in the air.
"Wright, you said that this place is dead, right? I can hardly feel the breath of a living creature."
"It seems that this place is over. I remember that the class said that the corpse worm is a very cunning creature. It likes to attack those sleeping soundly at night. Many people are parasitic controlled in their sleep." Weiss explained to Ling Lan.
"Then can they even parasitize the owner of the chess piece?"
"I don't know this, because the last insect scourge occurred before the Wangqi game appeared. But at present, we don't seem to be immune to the plague spreading by the other party. If we have parasitic conditions... we can probably do it."
The zombie will spread a special plague, which can be transmitted through the air, causing people to be infected unknowingly. Under normal circumstances, there is an incubation period of about 1 week after being infected and dies 2 to 3 weeks after the disease occurs. However, if the body is injured and bleeding, the process will be shortened by more than 5 times! The dwarves on the Agility Number may be so miserable because they were injured during the crash.
Fortunately, they met Adele, who had a dry powder potion developed by the elves on his body, which could effectively treat and prevent this plague. Each of the crew members on the ship was given a cup of blue potion that looked like a toilet cleaner, and the taste was probably similar to that of the toilet cleaner. Adele promised to prevent it for a period of time, enough for them to complete the task until they evacuate.
When Weiss and Ling Lan talked, Adele stood aside less than 3 meters away, and would occasionally glance at them. Weiss found that this female elf had often stared at him with "strange" eyes since she got on the boat. The other party seemed to be "very interesting" to him, but she always felt that something was wrong.
"Wright, why do I feel that Miss Xilin has been staring at you?" Ling Lan murmured to Weis in a low voice.
"Don't ask me, I want to know why she keeps staring at me?"
