Chapter 700 Unraveling the mystery in the fog

I saw a large number of figures standing densely on the huge square.

Surprised by this unusual scene, Lei Xiao hastily looked away.

Since the group was on a higher terrain, Lei Xiao could just have a panoramic view of everything on the square.

Through the thicker black mist, it can be vaguely seen from the clothes.

Most of these figures are ordinary residents of the city, while a few are city soldiers in standard armor and mercenaries with messy equipment.

At a glance, it was crowded everywhere.

Even the flower beds with dead plants and the fountains that have stopped flowing are crowded with people, and there is almost no end in sight.

Around the square, there are clay figurine warriors and undead warriors. The body of the mud that keeps falling and the body of the white skeleton, combined with the fierce movements of claws and teeth, look particularly terrifying under the permeating black mist.

Seeing the scene of being besieged by the opponent, a bone-piercing chill suddenly rushed into Lei Xiao's heart.

If such a dense crowd were transformed into undead at the same time, the consequences would be unimaginable.

While terrified in his heart, Lei Xiao continued to observe.

What is puzzling is that it is not all the soldiers and mercenaries of the garrison who are fighting with the clay figurine warriors at the front, but only individual figures scattered on the outermost periphery.

Lei Xiao was no stranger to these fighting figures.

It was the ten pterosaur knights including Jubai, Nanxing, Nanyue, and Xiao En who had never appeared, the captain of the garrison Yaer who disappeared in the storage area in the north of the city, the principal and deputy squadron leaders of the two combat maids, several third-tier mercenaries, And another captain of the garrison, Wood, who was in charge of the defense of the west wall of the city.

"Great, they're all still alive."

Seeing this scene, Lei Xiao was slightly relieved.

While feeling rejoiced, Lei Xiao's expression became confused again.

On the battlefield, except that Ju Bai could purify several clay figurine warriors every time he cast the dazzling light spell, the rest of the subordinates were just resisting the opponent's attack in vain, and the scene was quite embarrassing.

It can be clearly seen that even Nan Xing Nanyue, who is a powerhouse of the fourth rank, has nothing to do with these clay figurine warriors who ignore physical attacks.

Whether it is the extremely sharp sword peak or the sharp arrows, they just pass through the sticky body of the clay warrior, and can hardly cause any effective damage except for a touch of mud.

What's more, the clay figurine warrior who was wiped out by the orange-white holy light soon returned to its original state with a burst of black mist rising.

However, this is not the most critical.

The sparse line of defense composed of twenty strong men above the third rank actually made it impossible for the hundreds of clay figurine warriors who were attacking and the more skeleton soldiers on the periphery to advance a single bit.

To be more precise, a group of clay figurine warriors, relying on the characteristics of ignoring physical attacks and infinite rebirth, just like playing with Ju Bai and others, did not carry out a violent offensive, but roared and swayed from side to side without restraint. shaking.

"Those clay figurine warriors seem to be only restraining Jubai and the others. Why don't they launch a real attack?"

"Why did Yaer and others who were defending in the storage area in the north of the city, and such a huge crowd, appear here together?

"As for the soldiers and mercenaries standing in the crowd, why didn't they participate in the defense and just stood there blankly?"

Looking at this extremely weird battlefield, a series of question marks popped up in Lei Xiao's mind.

"Look, my lord! The huge crowd, including ordinary soldiers and mercenaries, is obviously a bit weird!"

Chaoyan's startled and crisp voice came to Lei Xiao's ears: "Their bodies are stiff, but their faces are extremely frightened. They should be in a state of confinement where they cannot move!"

"oh?"

Hearing the sound, Lei Xiao looked intently again, and found that it was exactly as Chao Yan said, whether it was civilians or ordinary soldiers, their bodies were bound by a faint black mist, and they lost their movements. Ability.

When he suddenly realized, a cold sweat began to ooze from Lei Xiao's forehead.

Facing these infinitely reborn clay figurine warriors, even if he devotes all his combat power, he still cannot change the current situation.

And in the process of thinking about it, the undead storm sweeping the whole city is undoubtedly possible to erupt at any time.

At that time, including himself, everyone in the city will die in this terrible storm, and then turn into the ghost puppets of the Nightmare Knight.

Looking at the pale-faced and terrified residents above the square, Lei Xiao took a deep breath, and a thick and sticky smell of blood rushed into his nostrils.

The current extremely passive and terrible situation is undoubtedly completely beyond my expectations.

Just when Lei Xiao thought of this, Lina's extremely disturbed crisp voice came again.

"My lord, my subordinates have just discovered that the intensity of death here has exploded in the face of growing despair in the square. Together with the subordinates who are necromancers, if they want to escape from the mist smoothly, It would all be impossible..."

"Understood."

Refocusing his sight on the surrounding black mist, Lei Xiao's brain began to work rapidly.

I remember that Qianqianhai also mentioned not long ago that in the process of rushing to rescue the City Lord's Mansion, he was lost in the black mist many times, and the fog around the City Lord's Mansion is far less dense than here. Comparing the two, it can be seen that,

Before that, the reason why my group was able to reach this position smoothly was because Lina had been trying her best to lead the way ahead, and even Hong Ye, who was a fifth-order powerhouse, couldn't do this.

After all, as a caster, Nightmare Knight has already reached the level of a fifth-level senior expert, and his strength is higher than that of the fifth-level two-star Hong Ye.

If even Lina, who is familiar with necromancy, is unable to escape from the black mist, the situation is self-evident.

In addition, although the city return crystal and teleportation crystal on his body are in a usable state.

But because there can't be direct subordinate battles around, it hasn't been achieved, and obviously it can't be used.

And even if the conditions to be able to be used are met, Nightmare Knight is unlikely to watch him leave here, after all, this entire domain of absolute death is already the opponent's territory.

"In other words, the next thing I have to face is a race against death?"

"Will I defeat the Nightmare Knight first, or will the Nightmare Knight launch the Necromancer Storm first..."

Thinking of this, Lei Xiao took a deep breath and tried his best to calm down his frightened emotions.

As a lord of another world, since he traveled to this world, this is undoubtedly the closest thing he has ever been to death, bar none.

At the same time, all the main powerhouses around Lei Xiao also looked dignified.

Facing this extremely dangerous situation, although they were also extremely uneasy, as long as the lord was still by his side, even if there was a mountain of swords and flames ahead, they would rush forward regardless of their own safety!

"Everyone, there are still so many colleagues who are working hard here, who are gritting their teeth and persevering, looking forward to the emergence of the dawn."

"And we, the only ones who can bring the dawn, have no choice since we stepped into Kongqing Town. Since there is no way out, we might as well fight with our backs."

I saw Lei Xiao's expression was equally stern, and the stick of nature in his hand suddenly turned into a shining Rolander: "The place where the black mist is the thickest must be where the Nightmare Knight and the formation eye are located. All we can do is rush in without hesitation!"

"Obey! This subordinate is willing to go through fire and water for the lord!"

All the subordinates saluted their chests and said in unison.

"Jie Jie Jie, the momentum is not bad."

Just when the group of people said this, along with the black mist rising from the black mist, the ghost phantom of the Nightmare Knight reappeared not far away.

He only heard his blunt voice with a strong camouflage voice, jokingly said: "Castle Master Kong Qing, it seems that you have figured out the current situation, that's right, wait until the intoxicating atmosphere of despair in the square, and then go one step further, It won't be long before this city will be completely reduced to a dead city."

"In other words, the time left for you is running out."

Speaking of this with great interest, the Nightmare Knight sneered leisurely: "However, even so, it is by no means an easy task to reach the eye area where this seat is located. I am afraid that you have already arrived. Too late, Jie Jie Jie."
