Chapter 242: No Harvest
Vina's face was completely black.
In the end, she didn't see any gold coins or equipment, not even a bit of magic energy. This level of magic energy could not withstand the crazy swallowing of the small amulet.
Although Boya also felt strange, he didn't take it to heart and took the trouble to comfort Vina. But Volod rubbed his chin thoughtfully and muttered.
"This situation seems to have been heard somewhere before."
Lan Wu heard Volod's muttering and laughed in his heart, but didn't point it out. It's better to keep such a self-interested thing to yourself. When the small amulet is fully charged, I think I can't get equipment and gold coins, but at least I can get some experience.
The team set off again. No one noticed that when the group walked a few dozen meters away, a skeleton mage and three skeletons suddenly crawled out of the pile of doom casters.
The four skeletons looked at each other, and then deviated slightly according to Lan Wu's secret instructions, looking for demons everywhere. After the battle with the Dark Wanderer, Lan Ya and the other two knew that their strength was too low and they urgently needed to absorb more magic energy to upgrade. But Rodament was more mature.
The witch doctor sealed it into the black crystal ball, but its mind was not sealed together. After a period of calm thinking, it felt that it should recover more memories. The way is naturally to improve its own level.
With Rodament as the core, the four skeletons began a difficult and long career of fighting monsters. Compared with the demons in the Despair Plain, their damage is undoubtedly lower. Fortunately, Rodament's skill Corruption is also effective against the demons here. Although the efficiency is not very good, it is also steadily improving slowly.
Not to mention Rodament's four skeletons. The team also encountered several demons in succession. From the Doomcaster, to the muscular demon Bagro with wings on his back, and the disgusting fat monster. The demons in the Despair Plain put this small team into a hard battle.
Except for the first time, the doom casters became more cunning. They flew out of nowhere and drained the mana of several people. Unfortunately, several Bagro demons passed by nearby.
This muscular demon is extremely powerful. Even Boya lost his balance after one slash, and basically sat down in embarrassment after two slashes. The skeletons summoned by Volod were like playing baseball, one flew away with one slash. After seven slashes, all seven skeletons flew more than 20 meters away.
Fortunately, Vina's ice skills control the field well. Frozen balls and blizzards were sent out one after another, which reduced the movement speed of these demons by half, and several people were lucky to escape. Once they recovered their breath, Boya and others cooperated tacitly, and Lan Wu made the right finishing blow, so these demons were only a minor trouble. The real trouble is the fat monster.
This kind of demon that eats corpses and hatches young in the body is very disgusting. Once killed or when the larvae mature, they will burst, splashing out foul-smelling pus and stinking larvae. Even Boya hesitated and refused to step forward to kill these fragile larvae that were as fragile as worms.
After several painful visual and olfactory tortures, the group arrived at a ruin that looked like an altar. The dried corpses were still hanging on the stone pillars around, emitting a faint stench. But several people didn't care. At least it was easy to defend and difficult to attack here, and they could buy a lot of rest time.
Lan Wu was not tired, but he couldn't go alone, unless he used the small amulet that was finally charged. Of course, this strategic trump card cannot be used casually. At least he had to wait until he found Helbu and borrowed his blacksmith shop to create a new professional skill weapon. Otherwise, a simple fire mage would not be enough to deal with these possible fire-immune demons.
Walking and stopping, they came like this for several days. Many demons were killed, but what made Vina crazy was that she had not seen any demonic energy so far, let alone valuable gold coins and equipment. Of course, all this was naturally blamed on the unlucky Volod.
"Damn it, you must have been cursed by the gods." Vina withdrew her gaze in dismay, muttering incessantly. Naturally, Boya's kind words of comfort were indispensable.
"Strange, really strange." Volod muttered in a low voice, and from time to time secretly glanced at Lanwu not far away. This professional who called himself Lannotus reminded him of the God-Blessed Lanwu. After so many days, he finally remembered that he had heard Kasha mention the strangeness of Lanwu. This included the ability to absorb demonic energy like a black hole.
Everything he encountered in the past few days was very similar to what Kasha had mentioned. But this Lannotus was completely different from the impression of Lanwu. The strange third eye in the middle of the forehead was definitely not something that humans should have.
"Did Lan Wu have another adventure?" Volod scratched his head in confusion, and quickly denied it. It is precious to have an adventure once. To have another adventure again... Could it be that he is the biological son of the gods?
"What's wrong?" Taylor saw the change in the expression on Volod's face and came over to ask with concern.
Volod did not hide anything from her and told her exactly what he had guessed. In the end, he shook his head helplessly and forced a smile: "Sorry, I think I thought too much. He should be back to the Rogue Camp now. After all, Lady Barbara is Flora's biological mother."
"No, I think this Lannotus might really be Lanwu." Taylor lowered his voice and whispered gossipingly: "I don't know if you have noticed that he often observes you. Especially when you are in danger, he will always attract the attention of the devil for you in the first place. I think if it is not someone who is familiar with you, it is impossible to do so. After all, we have only met him for a few days."
"He is Lanwu?" Volod opened his eyes wide in surprise, his cheeks turned red instantly, and he stammered in a low voice: "Then he knows that we have...already..."
Taylor coquettishly His face also turned red, and he snorted stubbornly: "What does it matter? If he doesn't accept it, he can go and make out with Flora or Claudia. We are not eloping, so what are we afraid of?"
"Then I will go and tell him clearly?" Volod muttered honestly: "I can't pretend not to know him like this."
"Wait." Taylor interrupted hurriedly: "Maybe he has his reasons. As his friends, we'd better do what he wants and pretend not to know him. Otherwise, if we delay his business, we will become sinners."
"That's the only way." Volod was helpless.
"Be careful, a big guy is coming." Lan Wu suddenly warned and opened his eyes.
Just now, he practiced the third eye on his forehead while resting. Although Lasma didn't say it, after so much research, he guessed that the scenery seen by this eye belongs to the world of souls. In other words, it can see the souls of living things.
According to the size and brightness of the soul, it can be judged whether the target is strong or weak. The soul he just saw was terrifyingly powerful, the most powerful demon he had ever seen.
He also saw this extremely powerful demon chasing a human.
