Chapter 239: In the Forest (8)
When the faint sunlight poured down from above the treetops, Chen Kai and the others had just put out the bonfire that was lit at night. The sunlight above the head was not dazzling, but Chen Kai and the others knew that this was one of the few opportunities they could see the sun after entering Denzelson.
But they knew very well that they entered the Denzel Forest this time to search for an escaped undead mage, but the problem was that the Elf Empire only provided the general spatial location for the other party to escape, but did not give a specific location. In fact, the upper level of the entire Elf Empire wanted Chen Kai and the others to explore in the Denzel Forest for a few years, but Chen Kai and the others had not thought of this yet.
When the group began to pack their luggage, Negrim, the demon knight who left Ruinmalan in the other direction of the forest. Although his former elf identity was still not recognized, he was released from his imprisonment and entered the Denzel Forest with some food and supplies. However, he knew that it would be impossible for Her Majesty, who wanted to rescue him, to rely solely on his own strength, but he still wanted to work hard.
With his almost legendary weapon, the Demon Knight stepped into the Denzel Forest alone. Although he only walked with his feet, he was extremely familiar with the forest environment and moved faster than the elves cavalry led by Romans. However, although they moved faster, they had no guide and had directly crossed Ruonmalan from Lorrail Illit to enter the forest, so they missed it with Negrim. After wandering around the forest for a while, it was not until Chen Kai and the others were teleported over. At this time, the Demon Knights who were walking with their feet had exceeded their dozens of kilometers.
However, because both sides were no longer on the same straight line and the distance between them was far, Chen Kai and the others did not know that Negrim entered the forest. For Negrim, he would not have thought that he should have gone to the capital of the Elf Empire. Because when Negrim left Ruinmalan, the matter of Lorranl Yilite had not spread yet. In fact, the surrounding elves villages couldn't believe it first when they received the news. It was not until they sent people to confirm that they discovered that Ruinmalan that their elves suffered heavy injuries again.
But at that time, Negrim had already left Ruinmaran and entered the Denzel Forest. Even if he did not leave, he could not help the elves of Lorran Illit, and it was even more impossible to confirm the situation of Chen Kai and the others. Walking slowly in the forest, Negrim soon discovered the traces left by the Barol Flame Demon, and the charred traces were as clear as the lights in the dark. Although these burning trees had turned into coke, they could hardly see clearly in the dark environment, but the scent of sulfur and burnt smell in the air still gave Negrim a very clear direction.
"Black Demon! Hum!" Negrim suffered from the Fire Demon, but this time he did not retreat because of this, but continued to advance towards Teramis along the path created by the Barol Flame Demon marching. After all, the movement speeds of the two are different compared to moving from the dense forest and moving from the road opened by the Flame Demon's demon army. At the current speed, Negrim only takes seven or eight days to reach Teramis, which is much faster than the expected speed.
However, after only a few hours of advancing, Negrim saw a village that turned into ruins. It was the village closest to Ruinmaran in the Denzel Forest. However, except for the ground burned into black basalt, Negrim could not see any village. It can be said that the flame demon destroyed this village and even the temple in the village very thoroughly. There was no residue left.
"It seems that there is no way to replenish water here!" Although it doesn't matter if Negrim doesn't drink water for three or four days, and the elves he rescued from Ruinmalan gave him a small space bag to store enough food and water for him to live in the forest for a month. Even if his appetite is big, it is enough to use it, and he doesn't think he will live in the forest for a month. If the situation is successful, maybe he can follow the demon's army into Teramis to rescue His Majesty. If it is not successful, it will be useless for him to keep those foods. So when he discovered that the Barol Flame Demon was carrying a huge army, Negrim's movement speed began to accelerate. He even used his demonic power to fly for a short distance, so the distance between him and Chen Kai and the others was pulled further and further.
Chen Kai and others who were searching in the forest towards Teramis were actually not moving slowly. After all, they knew that even the undead mage would not be willing to be lonely even if he ran to Denzel Forest. As a undead mage, he would definitely summon his undead army to protect himself as soon as possible, so for Chen Kai and others, it would be not far from discovering the undead mage as long as they found the traces of the undead.
Of course, they had thought about another point, that is, whether this necromancer would be very unlucky to fall directly into the hands of the remnants of the ancient magic civilization. If this is true, maybe Chen Kai and the others could turn around and leave very simply. It would be more realistic to run back to the Elf Empire to the Rohan Empire at the other end of the forest. Because Chen Kai and the others really couldn't afford to offend the existence of those ancient magic civilizations, for several spellcasters players, they really wanted to go to the remnants of the ancient magic civilization to learn. Even if they couldn't learn top spells, it didn't matter. As long as they could make the magic value rise slowly.
It can be said that ancient magic civilization is the era that all spellcasters hope to return to the most. Although the necromancer is definitely a top heresy in the outside world, in that era, as long as he didn't do too out of order, basically no mage would pay attention to him. Of course, Chen Kai and the others did not know that the necromancer is really caught by the ancient remnants, but his life is not good. The legendary remnants of the ancient magic era of the mage paradise did not open the door to him because he was a spellcaster. When he found out that he was a necromancer, he was destined to be tragedy.
At this moment, this high-ranking member who once was a dark council has now become a prisoner. His greatest function is to constantly summon the undead from the underworld. Then, the undead will be captured by the ancient relics guarding around him at the moment when they are summoned. The original high-ranking undead quickly turned into various materials, and the bones are directly polished into powder and the soul fire is captured to synthesize soul crystals. In just a few days, the great undead spellcaster Keno was labeled as a despicable and shameless bastard by the underworld. Basically, as soon as he opens the portal to the undead world, he will appear in front of him, a projection of a ward dog in the underworld, and then hundreds of high-level undeads.
However, for Cerberos, this projection was definitely tragic, because it was directly sniped by more than a dozen purple-robed mages and instantly beaten into fragments of souls. As for the hundreds of high-level undeads who were preparing to trouble Keno, they were instantly caught by the larger number of silver-robed mages in the cage of light, and then turned into fish to be slaughtered on the chopping board.
It can be said that after experiencing such a thing, the great necromancer basically cannot summon any undead monster from the underworld, and the combat power of the necromancer who has lost this ability will be reduced by a huge margin in an instant. Because as soon as he opens the summoning door, the projection of Cerberos will never appear on the other side of the door. At least the clone level is level one. No matter how powerful the purple robe mage is, he will not be able to kill a clone of a main god-level watchdog in a short time. For the necromancer, the best ending is to be held in the mouth by the watchdog and bitten by the dog bone for hundreds of years. Because he knows very well what the hideous eyes mean when the watchdog projection is beaten into soul fragments. He understands the truth that death is sometimes the best ending, and he often uses it to his enemies.
So after being played as a human summoner for a few days, the poor necromancer's errand changed into a craftsman who specializes in creating undead puppets for the ancient remnants. Of course, his treatment was a little better, at least he had human rights. He no longer had shackles, but he still had magic limiters around his neck. As long as he wanted to leave Teramis with a portal, his head would instantly turn into a crushed watermelon, and his soul would be imprisoned and thrown into the world of undead. When he thought of the result of being thrown into the underworld, Keno acted as a puppet craftsman. Although this errand was simply a shame for him, he was still very happy. After all, compared to his life being unsafe and his soul would be bitten by the watchdog as dog glue for hundreds of years. Even if he is embarrassed now, his life is still there.
At the same time, for his own life, Keno directly contributed the method of creating undead puppets he had from Ness and other members of the Dark Council. However, when the first huge imitation of the white knight appeared in the sight of the ancient remnants, they directly used a few dissociation techniques to turn it into raw materials. There is no doubt that this type of bone product is indeed affordable and cheap, and it is almost like a nuclear bomb for ordinary people who do not have high-level spell casters. However, for these ancient remnants, the undead puppets made by white bones are too fragile. Even if the appearance is extremely good, the problem is that the degree of strength is very problematic. With such materials, they might as well make a metal puppet directly.
So when Keno saw the drawings taken out by several silver-robed mages, he was frightened. Because he found that the other party actually planned to use pure gold to combine rare materials such as mitral and sunshine crystal to create a white knight with metal structure. However, when Keno saw several silver-robed mages opening their private warehouses, he instantly knelt down. For spellcasters on the main material plane, the rare materials are basically piled up warehouses in these silver-robed mages' private warehouses, and for more advanced mages, their private warehouses are richer, and the things stored in the entire public warehouse of ancient remnants were enough to make the royal families of several human empires so ashamed that they jumped off the building.
The material collected in the astral world for thousands of years is definitely not a joke. Not to mention using the fine gold and mitral to build a white knight, even ten and twenty is not a problem. Even if you open the private warehouse of several scepter mages, you can create a war puppet with the top sun scepter gold. Of course, those mages will not do such a prodigal behavior, but it is feasible to use the fine gold and mitral to build a white knight. First of all, the defense of metal is much higher. Although there is no plasticity of bones in the hands of the necromancer, it is also necessary to redesign because of the large increase in weight, and it is necessary to recalculate all the energy supply.
So when the white knight who was more than ten meters tall was made of pure gold and mitral, it turned into a small war puppet three or four meters high when it was made with fine gold and mitral silver. However, the magic ability and ability of these ancient remnants once again made Jino, who thought he was talented, instantly bow down. Thus, he understood why he could not change the prisoner even if he contributed such powerful war weapons. For those ancient mages, he was really bad. Even the silver-robed mage with only the strength of the outside high mentors could completely abuse this demigod necromancer who was almost demigod. Of course, that was when Jino could not use the undead summons. Because the opponent's casting speed was too fast, more than a dozen dissociation techniques were fired almost at the beginning of the battle.
This behavior, which in Keno's opinion, was completely a tactical tactic, instantly turned him, who had only a few protective equipment, into a shirtless manner. Then several spells that he had never seen before were released, and the poor necromancer was slapped out like a fly. The poor necromancer originally wanted to teach a few silver robed mages a lesson to let them respect him, but he was completely tragic.
The poor necromancer's miserable days continued like this. In fact, he really hoped to summon his fellow dark councils, but it was obvious that he could not do it. Although he still had the ability to cast spells now, in order to prevent him from escaping or summoning the collar on his friend's neck, he directly limited his space and the ability to summon spells. As long as the spell he released was designed to be space and summoned, his head would instantly turn into a broken watermelon.
So when Chen Kai and his friends were about to find the poor necromancer by looking for the undead legion, they didn't know that the culprit who caused tens of thousands of elves to turn into corpses of Lorran Illit was now squatting pitifully in the corner with bandages and eating leftovers. For Keno, who had enjoyed outside, the food given by the ancient remnants was really similar to the leftovers of cold rice.
The people who were walking slowly along the forest soon discovered the traces left by the flame demon, but Chen Kai and the others did not know that the burned forest or the burned forest should not be the burned forest, but the road left behind after the flames burned, which was the masterpiece of the Balo Flame Demon. They did not have the keen sense of smell of Negrim, but several people still found some traces of the demon.
So they soon realized that this was a path for demons to stay, and the number of demon troops that opened up such a huge passage was absolutely huge. At that moment, the first thing the Elves Knights wanted to do was to leave the forest and issue an alarm to the surrounding villages, but soon they discovered that the traces of these demons were spreading deep into the forest. What surprised them even more was that they soon discovered the traces left by the members of the Natural Punishment.
Although these traces are very light, there is no doubt that they were left by the members of the Natural Punishment. Of course, they don’t know what the Natural Punishment is. It’s just that they understand that these guys who left a few leaves are definitely their own people, but there is no doubt that the other party has left here for many days, so the traces carved on the tree poles have dried up, and there is no fresh carving of that kind of moist feeling.
"It seems we need to speed up! Maybe it's a good idea to join the natural punishment!" Romans's words made Chen Kai feel very strange. But there is no doubt that the natural punishment mentioned by the other party was definitely the strong support he said when he was giving Chen Kai and the others a few days ago.
Since there are strong aids to join Chen Kai and the others naturally don't think there is any problem, but in this way they can't search for the situation on the road. After all, they need to rush forward directly along this opened road. According to the movement speed of the war horse, it may only take a few days for them to catch up. But this creates another problem. What should I do if the necromancer is not in that direction? Turn back? Let's not talk about the wasted time. Such a few days are enough to make the injured necromancer run away many distances.
"Damn it! These elves are not fooling us into being natives in the forest, right?" Fei Yun looked at the elf knights in front of him and said depressedly. To be honest, I found someone in such a vast forest, even if the other party was a necromancer who could brute force. Fei Yun also felt that such a thing was very unreliable. If possible, Fei Yun even wanted to instigate Chen Kai to throw these elves away directly from the other end of the forest and run to the Rohan Empire.
