Travels of the Necromancer

Blue has succeeded!After realizing this, I immediately stopped singing and flew in the direction of Ley.

I can see from the air that the vines some distance from the center are also affected, and the attack becomes slow and weak, which will make the battle on the ground much easier.When I returned to Lai, he had already cleaned up all the vines around him and was looking up at me.

Probably because of the tree vines venting his anger, Ley didn't intend to jump up and cut me down, nor did he mention the ring. Of course, I won't provoke him again at this time.So, I carefully landed next to him, and said in a business-like tone: "Blue's action in the center of the forest has been successful, and the fighting power of the man-eating tree has been weakened."

"Tell everyone to disperse and break out, and meet outside the woods." Lai also answered me in a business-like tone, and then broke out without looking back.

Well, I mentally said "It's not cute to grow up" again, and started to chant.A dazzling ball of light rose into the air with a sharp whistling, and exploded instantly. The scattered light spots formed special symbols, which were still clearly visible even in daytime.The symbol remained for a few seconds before slowly disappearing.

After sending out the magic signal, I thought about it, and instead of using the flying technique, I drew out my sword and followed Lai.

The tree vines that had gradually weakened could not stop Ley's sword at all, so it was quite easy for me to follow behind him, as long as I carefully stepped on the scattered tree vine debris.At the same time, I am also somewhat fortunate that now Ley's primary enemy is not me.

When Ley and I rushed to the edge of the forest, Lan was there to meet us.

Lai looked at him and sincerely praised: "Good job."

Lan still maintained his usual style, just nodded and didn't say much.

Other mercenaries rushed out of the man-eating tree forest one after another to meet us.But the five mercenaries I took out of the forest in advance, including Nick and Ted, never showed up, which made me realize what might be wrong.

"I gonna go see."

"I'll go with you." Noah, who had just come out of the forest with a wounded mercenary, insisted on going to investigate with me without resting.

When we arrived at the place where the five mercenaries had been, we found that they were missing.

Missing means that no one is alive, no dead body is seen, no blood, no trace of any battle, as if these five people disappeared out of thin air.

Noah and I searched the surroundings carefully again, but found nothing.I turned to look at Noah, and I could see the surprise in his eyes.These five people are very outstanding mercenaries, maybe someone can defeat them, but to take them away without leaving a trace, the opponent's strength is unimaginable.

So when we went back to report the situation, everyone's expressions were very serious.

"Freya!" Ley responded immediately, "Take a count of the situation."

"Besides Ted and the others, there are still three people missing."

"Be careful, I'll go back to the forest again."

"Ley..." Noah stopped him, "It is definitely not a wise choice to act alone now."

Lai stared at Noah, was silent for a while, and finally nodded: "Everyone pay attention, search the formation, and return to the forest."

So the mercenary team returned to the forest again and searched cautiously.At this time, most of the vines that seemed to be cut down forever turned gray, lying limply on the ground, and occasionally a few trembled feebly.

Such a powerful poison and such a fast spreading speed, I couldn't help admiring it again.However, judging from Lan's taciturn personality, he should not be interested in having academic discussions with me.The other mercenaries don't know much about Lan, and now I know that although he has cooperated with the Ford team several times, he is not yet an official member of the mercenary team.

After an hour of searching, we found one mercenary who was slightly injured and lost, one mercenary who was seriously injured and unconscious, and the last mercenary was found near the center.A vine was wrapped tightly around his neck, and we found him cold and stiff, apparently long dead.

On the 12th day of the westward wasteland mission No. [-], five members of the Ford team disappeared and one died.

It was as if a string that was too tight suddenly broke, and the suppressed emotions of the mercenaries suddenly burst out. The excited mercenaries crazily cut off, shredded, and trampled the surrounding vines into mud, not caring at all. It will waste energy in vain, and it seems that doing so can bring back the dead comrades.Freya sobbed softly, and Ley knelt down on one knee and closed his eyes for the dead mercenary. He didn't show much sadness, but his hands were shaking.

Noah and I have also cooperated with other mercenary squads before, and the Ford squad is the most united mercenary squad I have ever seen, and relatively, the death of their companions has a greater impact on them.Noah was infected by the atmosphere in front of him, and stood aside solemnly.As the only one keeping my cool, I had to temporarily assume responsibility for the vigilance.Perhaps not the only one, I looked around and found that Lan was missing again.

The current situation does not allow the mercenaries to be sad for too long.After simply but solemnly burying his companion's body, Ley ordered the rest of the mercenaries to rest in place.This is the result of his discussion with Noah. In the past few times, no matter how quickly we retreated, we would be overtaken by monsters. This time, we simply did not hurry and seized all the time to recover our strength.

Because of the excitement of the mercenaries, the trees and vines in the center of the forest have been cleaned up, revealing an open space, where we rest.The wilderness seemed extremely cold tonight, and the few sleeping bags were given priority to the wounded.The mercenaries who didn't get sleeping bags huddled together in twos and threes, sleeping with their clothes on, and many of them still held weapons in their hands.All the people were silent, only the sound of the bonfire "crackling" could be heard, and the atmosphere in the entire camp was somewhat depressing.
