A deafening roar echoed through the sky.

The Paladin stopped in surprise and turned his head to look into the distance. Although in front of them, the towering mountains blocked everyone's sight, preventing them from seeing the torrent of light that tore the world apart, but the light from this was enough to make people wonder.

You could tell from the trembling voice that something terrible was definitely happening over there.

"What's going on?"

The half-elf archer hurriedly pulled the horses that were frightened by the sudden sound to prevent them from being frightened. However, in fact, her own situation was not much better. The half-elf's senses were originally sharper than humans, and this sound

The roar was so loud that even though they were separated by a mountain range, they felt as if it was ringing in their ears. It felt like someone was hitting their heart with a heavy hammer, even for a strong person like the Paladin.

Everyone felt short of breath and dizzy for a while. Not to mention the half-elf who felt more delicate and sensitive. It was as if someone had hit her on the back of the head with a hammer wrapped in lemon, and she did not faint on the spot.

It's already pretty good.

"I felt like my brain had been hit with a million rocks!"

The dwarf warrior held his head and complained loudly. He turned his head and stared at the ridge in front of him, as if he could see what was happening on the other side through the towering mountains.

"I'm sure there's definitely a dragon over there~!! Damn it, only those nasty big lizards can make such movements."

"I don't see it like..."

The red-robed mage touched his bald head, frowned and looked at the other side of the mountain.

"This is not like the cry of a dragon, and the sound is too loud. Ordinary dragons simply don't have such ability..."

"Okay, now is not the time for us to discuss this issue."

The paladin waved his hand, interrupting the red-robed mage.

"The most important thing for us right now is to reach the next town before dark, and then resupply there. Then rest for a night and continue on the road. We have already lost a lot of time, and I am worried that Daniel may not be able to hold on anymore..."

As he spoke, the paladin glanced at the carriage worriedly again. Upon hearing his words, the others also fell into silence. Indeed, if it were normal times, they would never miss this strange scene.

But the situation is different now. The lives of their companions are being lost, and it is obviously not the time to explore the secrets now. Maybe when their companions regain health, they will go there to find out. But not now.

"Okay, let's continue on the road... How far is it to the next town?"

"Just walk out of these woods and you'll be there."

"Very good, let's set off."

Hearing the answer from the red-robed mage, the paladin nodded, but just when he was about to give the order to move forward, suddenly, the half-elf who was exploring the way in front rushed back quickly, her face was cold.

A piece, with an uneasy heaviness.

"Captain. Something happened."

Standing on the dry and scorched earth, looking at the town that had been reduced to ashes in front of him, the Paladin's face turned livid. He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. Although he just stood there silently, without saying a word, he almost

Everyone knows how infuriating this scene is for a Paladin.

"All dead. No one left alive."

The red-robed mage looked down at the earth in front of him with a low face. The twisted corpses on the dark and rotting earth died in miserable and terrible ways. But the fear in his eyes was not because of this horrific death, but because of what was behind it.

something.

"The other party had very powerful spellcasters, and there was more than one. They almost destroyed the town easily, and they also used the most evil blood refining spell..."

"Blood refining spell? That is?"

Hearing this, the dwarf warrior frowned and asked. Faced with his inquiry, the red-robed mage thought for a moment before speaking.

"It is a taboo dark magic that uses blood to condense the power of evil, then completely explodes it and merges it with everything it is contaminated with, thus turning it into a deadly poison. These people are not

Those who were killed by spells, on the contrary, were poisoned. And now the whole town is a big poisonous cave. Even the ground we step on is also full of poison. Of course, the water here

There is no way to drink, and of course there is no way to use the food... Even other things here are best not to be touched, otherwise I am not sure whether we will have another injured person."

"Pooh!"

Hearing these words, the dwarf spat angrily and stared at the soft earth under his feet, almost like rotting flesh. He could even smell a sweet and disgusting smell from it.

"So I just hate mages, look at how you always do bad things! You guys are the only ones who can even create such evil spells!"

"That's what I'm worried about."

In response to the dwarf's angry curse, the red-robed mage was not angry. On the contrary, he frowned and murmured to himself. And noticing the change in his expression, the paladin also frowned and stared at him solemnly.

companion.

"Any questions?" Wucuo Novel Network does not skip words.

"Yes."

Hearing the paladin's inquiry, the red-robed mage nodded.

"The blood refining spell is the most evil one among the dark magic. In fact, almost no one on this continent can use this evil spell anymore. This is not only because it is powerful enough, but also because

This kind of spell has very high requirements for the caster. This kind of spell requires extremely pure negative energy to be cast. And it is impossible for any living person to have such a pure collection of negative energy. In fact, this spell was originally from ancient times.

The spells invented by the great lich can only be possessed by the most powerful casters who have crossed the boundary between life and death."

"So you're saying...it was a lich that destroyed this town?"

Hearing this, the paladin's face became even more ugly, while the red-robed mage nodded uneasily.

"Yes. And it's probably a big lich, or even a demigod lich... But that's not what I'm worried about. It's why it wants to do this. As far as I know, this is just an ordinary little lich.

There are no mysterious legends or sealed strange things in this town. Logically speaking, this place should not attract the attention of such a powerful being. Judging from the traces, the attack should have happened yesterday. If the other party was just

It would be fine if I just find a place to do the experiment when I feel like it, but I'm afraid..."

"Are you worried that the other party is coming for us?"

The paladin is not a fool, and he naturally understands his companions quite well. Although the red-robed mage has not finished speaking, he already understands what the other party means. When hearing the paladin's inquiry, the red-robed mage also hesitated.

"Although it is not impossible, the possibility is really very low. After all, if the other party is really so powerful, he can come to us directly. To be honest, with our strength, we want to face a big wizard

It is almost impossible to be a demon. So I think this is probably just a coincidence..."

"Whether it's a coincidence or not, we have to find a way."

At this time, the half-elf also walked over exhausted.

"Our supplies have been exhausted. And we can't find supplies here - if we really follow what the mage said, we won't dare to use them even if we find them. But there are still three days to go before we can reach the next level.

As a small town, under such circumstances, can we really survive?" Wucuo Novel Network does not skip words.

Hearing this, everyone else couldn't help but fell silent. Finally, the Paladin sighed helplessly.

"It seems that we have to discuss it with that adult. The current situation is really weird. It seems that the road to Fantasy Star City is more dangerous than we thought. And if there is really a lich wandering around here,

, no matter what it wants to do, it is a threat to us. But now, all we can do is find a place and get through tonight first, otherwise, no one knows what will happen."

"Do you want to stay here?" Wucuo Novel Network does not skip words.

Facing the paladin's suggestion, the half-elf looked a little ugly. The paladin spread his hands helplessly.

"We have no better way, and it's almost dark now. Everyone is very tired after walking all day. Traveling overnight will only be equally dangerous."

"Then it's decided."

The dwarf warrior waved the ax in his hand.

"Whether it's a lich or something else, I'll cut it in half if it dares to come. Now let's find a place to take a good rest. Damn it, this cursed land makes me feel terrible!!"

After making the decision, these adventurers quickly built a temporary camp not far from the town. Since the entire town had been completely polluted, they could not even find any food and could only

He drank the water from the water bag and had a few mouthfuls of dry food, and then he fell to the ground and fell asleep.

At this moment, these adventurers were completely unaware that deep in the dark jungle, a pair of shining eyes were watching them through the darkness.

"It seems we have reached our limit of guests."

Looking at the exhausted adventurers, Zhan smiled and reached out to touch the mask. Upon hearing his words, Elise and Sofina also turned their heads and looked at their master.

"Then Master, can we start taking action?" Wucuo Novel Network did not skip words.

"certainly."

Facing Elise's inquiry, Zhan nodded proudly.

"Patilina did a good job. I think those guys should have noticed it... I want to see how long they can hide behind it."

As he spoke, Zhan tightened his cane and tapped the ground lightly.

"Then... let's begin, my slave, bring me a sumptuous death dance feast."

As Zhan En whispered to himself, the soft soil began to gradually stir among the ruins of the town in the distance.
