Chapter 28 The Undead in the Dark
Previous review: Emily decided to take Ning Chen to the mallet of bad luck. The master and apprentice embarked on a new adventure. What on earth is waiting for them on the road ahead?
=============================Separator=============================
Ning Chen was on duty alone in the wind and rain, holding the hourglass of his teacher Emily in his arms. Finally, he was exhausted and fought with his upper and lower eyelids.
"Go to bed quickly. Hunters can't do this. No matter how tired they are, in such a dangerous place in the wild, your eyes must be dazzling. If the beast is not shocked by your eyes, it will bully you arbitrarily." Emily kicked her apprentice and asked Ning Chen to go to bed.
That tiredness snored as soon as he lay down. In his sleep, it was full of the howling of the wolf, which was sad and long. It seemed that it could not be broken in this breath. What a wolf has such a large lung capacity. Ning Chen scratched his buttocks, turned around, and was awakened by Emily.
He rubbed his eyes: "What's wrong, Emily?"
"Shh!" Emily made a boo gesture and handed the weapon to Ning Chen, signaling him to prepare for the war. Ning Chen's nerves suddenly tightened. TNND, he couldn't sleep at all. Then he lay down for a long time. Adventure is really not a good bird.
"What is it this time?" Ning Chen asked at the lowest volume.
"Listen to this movement, it seems to be a roarer." Emily's eyes are full of desire.
Roarer? This name is familiar. Ning Chen tried his best to recall, but he couldn't find any clues about it.
"The roarer is a wolf, a lonely wolf. Unlike the evil wolf on this mountain, it is a hero or a hero." There was admiration in Emily's voice.
It is dark outside, which should be the darkest time of the day. In addition, there is no moonlight on a rainy day. You can't see anything outside except the sound of rain, but at a high place not far away, the howling continues, as if it is worrying, as if it is looking for something.
"What's going on? Shout all the time." Ning Chen asked.
"The Roarer did not live in Philas. Its owner is an excellent hunter..." Emily glanced at Ning Chen, "Your tribe's green-skinned orc, an excellent hunter who has no quarrel with the world. He is peaceful by nature, so he refuses to join the army and fight against the alliance and was exiled by Ogma in Philas. , never return to Dulongta, and even his family despised him, saying that he was a traitor to the tribe. In this difficult moment of being abandoned by the clan, the only thing that accompanied him was his pet partner - roaring. They lived together in Philas for several years. Later, when a human paladin passed by Philas, he Killed, roared and seriously injured, and disappeared into the mountains and forests..."
"Alas, it's another story... I found a lot of stories from Azeroth." Ning Chen sighed, "Why are you so nervous now? Is it awesome? Can't even you beat it?"
"Don't laugh. As a hunter, if you can't even fight a beast, you can't be a hunter, but this roarer is a legend. It is rumored that after its owner fell, he fought with the knight and suffered serious injuries until the knight was moved and couldn't bear to hurt it again. Later, it is said that it dragged the master. The human body disappeared into the mountain forest, and some people said that they saw it buried its owner. I don't know if it was powerful or not, but I like its loyalty very much.
"Suzu... You mean Aesop is unfaithful..." Aesop beside him was jealous, spitting out the core, and saw a four- or five-meter-long python coquettish and jealous. Ning Chen felt that there was nothing in his heart.
"So, I still think you are facing a big enemy. If you are in such a hurry, I will wake up. Then I will sleep for a while. Don't call me if you have nothing to do..." Ning Chen said and turned back to sleep again.
Papa! At this moment, Emily hit his forehead with Ning Chen's helmet: "It's not for the roarer to get you up. Now someone is lurking not far from us. Be vigilant."
click.
A slight sound came. If Ning Chen hadn't trained for so long and could concentrate his energy involuntarily, he would never have been able to distinguish this slight sound from the rain: "Did you hear it?" He sat and dared not move for fear of making noises.
Emily nodded: "I called you up for him, smelling rotten and moldy."
Ning Chen sniffed hard and smelled nothing except the smell of dirt: "What a powerful nose!"
"How to track hunters who are not sensitive to smell?" Emily took the opportunity to teach her disciples, "This should be an undead."
In fact, as soon as Emily talked about the smell of rotten and moldy, Ning Chen thought of the dead or something. During the days when he stayed in Tiris Falin, he was quite familiar with this smell.
"How can there be undead here?" Ning Chen thought to himself.
"Who said that the undead must be the undead?" Emily blamed, "Many people infected with the plague have become undead corpses. This guy should be this kind of undead."
"That's even more strange. Should they all be in the plague?" Ning Chen was surprised.
"You stay here, I'll go out and have a look..." Emily said as she was about to leave, and Aesop suddenly stepped out.
"The master is waiting here. I'll go and see!" Its voice shows that it is very excited now, and probably Emily's words praising the roarer stimulated its self-esteem.
Without waiting for Emily to answer, Aesop had disappeared into the darkness and swam in the direction of the sound.
Emily frowned: "This enemy is not so easy to deal with! I still want to go out and have a look! Take good care of your bags in the hole and don't let the fire go out.
"Strange, shouldn't you take the initiative to put out the fire at this time?" Ning Chen is curious.
"Idiot, if you extinguish the fire, the wolf will follow the smell. The wolf is afraid of fire, and even if the originally burning fire suddenly goes out, it will also shock the people lurking in the dark."
Aesop and Emily went out, and Ning Chen was alone in the cave. He held the bow and sword tightly and stared at the direction of Emily's disappearance.
Time passed minute by, and the sand in the hourglass was leaking little by little. Emily and Aesop had not come back yet, and Ning Chen was a little anxious. He pricked up his ears and listened. There seemed to be a faint fight and a dull roar in the distance. At this moment, the roarer was still howling on the high mountain in the distance. It was really tireless.
The fire was getting smaller and smaller, and gradually went out. The sky was slightly white, and the rain was getting heavier and heavier. Emily and Aesop still had no shadow. Ning Chen finally couldn't stay. He put his bag away, put the fragments and letters close to his body, and went out with the golden bow and dagger sword.
The grass is full of water, and the ground here is uneven. Ning Chen walks carefully with a shallow foot. In front of him is a small and dense forest. From the outside, it is still dark. This kind of place usually hides unknown dangers, Ning Chen stood by the forest and hesitated for a moment, but still gritted his teeth and rushed in.
The originally white sky suddenly returned to darkness, and after entering the dense forest, everything seemed to disappear. The sound of fighting, howling, birds and insects all disappeared. Even the originally pattering rain was blocked from the branches and leaves of the dense forest, and the whole world was left only a moment. The sound of Tongtong was Ning Chen's own heartbeat.
He clenched his bow and moved forward. He remembered that he saw Aesop and Emily enter the forest one after another, and the forest was not very big, but why couldn't he see them?
In fact, Emily is now hovering over the forest, to be precise, shuttling between trees, avoiding the attack from the undead.
The undead is a sad existence. They were originally the same as you and me. A disaster separated their inner world forever, but they had to be the ugliest family in the world. Unlike the undead people, the undead have recovered their memories under the leadership of Sylvanas and have been able to reproduce themselves without dying. There is no need to reproduce. If you want to increase the population, just grab something to infect him. They are the masterpiece of demons.
Emily can't distinguish his professional category from the number of the attacker's roads, because so far, the opponent is also shooting arrows, and almost anyone can pull the bow and shoot arrows, and his degree is not high-level, but the opponent's speed is also very fast. Emily can avoid the arrows fired several times, as if the opponent's night vision Her ability is no worse than herself. What's more, at this critical moment, she actually saw her dull apprentice come in from outside the forest and stand there and look around generously. At this moment, it is not easy for her to open her mouth to remind him, otherwise she will immediately expose her position. She has no choice but to do so. She raised her bow and arrow and aimed it at Ning Chen.
Ning Chen was looking into his head and trying to see everything in front of him. An arrow rushed to him with the wind. He hurriedly put his head on one side and nailed the ground next to him. It turned out to be Emily's black-tailed arrow. NND, why did you shoot me! However, he immediately dodged under a tree, which seemed to be actually rough.
Suddenly, a sud came from the soles of his feet, and Ning Chen hurriedly raised his feet. It turned out that Aesop also hid here.
"Smile! Are you going to trample me to death?" It said with a stinging core.
"Shh!" Ning Chen lowered his voice, "How's the situation here?"
"It's terrible, I'm hurt!" Aesop gently patted his tail on Ning Chen's calf. Ning Chen looked closer. His tail was actually cut deeply. If it was harder, or it flashed slower, the tail would say goodbye to its body forever.
"Have you seen the opponent clearly?" Ning Chen asked.
"Well, an undead warrior is horrible!" Aesop said.
