Chapter 55: Strong Skeleton

It was getting late, so Lan Wu did not continue the pursuit. He found a sheltered place nearby, immediately set up a tent, and then took out two blankets, one for each of him and Irene, and wrapped himself tightly.

The last time they came to the Ice Plains, Lan Wu and his party had overdrawn their physical strength in order to find out the cause of the change in the Ice Plains as soon as possible, and they searched for the source of the change without sleep. He was always in motion, so he didn't feel cold. But now he felt the danger of the Ice Plains for the first time.

Cold, very cold.

Lan Wu didn't know what temperature the Ice Plains would drop to at night. But he knew that he was still freezing cold even though he was wrapped tightly in a blanket. A gust of cold wind blew in through the gap in the tent. He wished he could bury his head in the blanket.

It was a pity that the army of fallen demons had already entered the field of vision. At this time, lighting a bonfire to keep warm was equivalent to sending a warm invitation to those fallen demons. There is a big meal here. Do you want to enjoy it and wash off the dust?

Once the tent was closed, it was pitch black inside. In the darkness, Lan Wu wrapped himself in a blanket, biting the dry and cold bread, feeling a lot of emotions in his heart. It is not easy to make a living these days. Just thinking about it, he suddenly felt something crawling into his arms. He was immediately shocked and subconsciously lifted the blanket. Just when his hand was halfway out, he couldn't help but laugh at himself. Apart from the little girl Irene, how could there be a demon creature in this tent? Three skeletons and a clay golem were still patrolling around. It is not an easy task to avoid them.

Irene crawled into Lan Wu's arms, arched her back with satisfaction, made herself more comfortable, and then closed her eyes. After all, she was only a thirteen-year-old girl, and she was indeed tired after running around all day. It was not physical fatigue, the professional's own recovery ability was quite good, but mental fatigue. After a while, a slight snoring sound floated to Lan Wu's ears.

Lan Wu rolled his eyes. This little girl obviously thought of herself as a comfortable big bed. She slept comfortably, but what about me? After thinking about it, he shook his head helplessly, hugged Irene and closed his eyes.

This sleep was really bad. Keeping this posture for a long time, Lan Wu woke up after less than four hours of sleep. He opened the tent and looked out. It was still pitch black outside, with a few chirping sounds unique to the fallen demons occasionally floating in. Calculating the time, it was still a long time before dawn.

Surrounded by a slight snoring sound, Lan Wu tightened the blanket, looked up at the tent and fell into deep thought. He needed to make a detailed and comprehensive plan to avoid getting himself involved.

It was obvious that Bishuboshu hated him for some reason. This must be used, and only this can be used to contain the march of the fallen demon army and buy more preparation time for the Rogue Camp. The second thing to consider is how to escape safely from tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of fallen demons.

While thinking, there was a sudden noise outside. Lan Wu was startled and quickly opened the tent to look outside. In the darkness, a dazzling white light flashed and hit an object in the darkness. With the help of the white light, he could see clearly that it was a fallen demon.

This fallen demon was obviously fainted from hunger and left the main group at night to find food to fill its stomach. It was being besieged by two skeletons, Lan Ya and Bruna, and clay stone demons.

Through the power of the magic contract, Lan Wu easily found the location of Afafu's skeleton. Just like a traditional archer, she hid in the darkness and suddenly pulled the bone bow, and an arrow emitting white light suddenly took shape.

Light arrow.

Lan Wu understood. This was obviously Afafu's skill Light Arrow, which was accompanied by the power of holy light and was effective against demonic creatures such as fallen demons.

Another arrow was shot and accurately hit the fallen demon. This time Lan Wu saw it more clearly. The light arrow hit the fallen demon, and it was like sulfuric acid splashed on steel, hissing and emitting red and black blood bubbles.

The fallen demon suffered fatal holy light damage and screamed in pain. It was scared. Faced with the fatal holy light power, it immediately obeyed its nature and turned around and ran.

"Oh?" Lan Wu's eyes flashed, and he casually smashed a damage-increasing weapon over there, and then pondered thoughtfully.

At this time, Lan Ya and the clay demon had caught up with the fallen demon. Under the influence of the clay demon's deceleration aura, its attack speed and movement speed were reduced by one tenth.

The bone scepter and the thick mud palm hit the fallen demon one after another. With the curse on its head, the fallen demon was as dazzling as a lighthouse in the dark night. In the faint blood-red light, it screamed, and chopped the clay demon with a knife, cutting off a large piece of soil mixed with gravel and weeds.

The clay demon's skin was rough and its flesh was tough, so a single blow would not hurt it at all. But this fallen demon was in bad luck. There was a needle-like halo under the clay demon's feet.

Thorns.

Lan Ya still maintained her fighting instincts from her lifetime, and activated the halo of thorns just right. The fallen demon's sword failed to kill the clay demon. Instead, it bounced back and killed itself.

The entire battle took less than three minutes. Lan Wu saw how powerful his summon was, and his eyes turned, and he had other thoughts.

Containment is not just running away. Even if Bisu Bosu hated him to the core, he would naturally be able to guess his thoughts over time. Only by giving a fierce counterattack while escaping could it be possible to use inertial thinking to mislead Bisu Bosu and achieve the purpose of containment.

Nothing happened that night. Except for this fallen demon who was so hungry that he had to leave the main group to find food at night, the other fallen demons were quite well behaved. At dawn, Lan Wu had formed a complete containment plan in his mind. He was not in a hurry. He closed his eyes and continued to think about it, striving for perfection.

When the sky was bright, Lan Wu suddenly felt something moving in his arms. Looking down, he saw Irene stretching comfortably, yawning and opening her eyes. He smiled knowingly, patted Irene's back, and signaled that it was time to get up. When Irene jumped off the ground, he stood up with difficulty and began to slowly move his stiff body.

"Get ready, we're going to make a big fuss today." Lan Wu twisted his stiff neck, making a crisp sound. It was really tiring to keep that posture all night.

Irene's wooden face showed a little more confidence, and nodded vigorously. Lan Wu smiled and continued to move his body to recover as much as possible.

After filling his stomach, Lan Wu packed up his blanket tent, and quickly approached the army of fallen demons in the distance with Irene and his summons. Not long after, the army of fallen demons that had already set out entered the sight of the group again.

Lan Wu winked at Lan Ya and the other three skeletons. Lan Ya was the first to understand his meaning and walked in front. Afafu and Bruna reacted a little slower and fell behind. However, the clay golem was deliberately lagged behind by Lan Wu by about five or six meters.

This is the advantage of the summoning profession.

Summoned creatures have no life, and once destroyed, they can be summoned again. Summoned creatures like skeletons and golems are the best pathfinders.

"I have to take some time to meet Afafu and Bruna. It's hard to command because of the generation gap." Lan Wu thought as he walked forward with Irene at a slow speed.

The two sides were still a few miles apart, and the rear army of the fallen demons had already discovered Lan Wu and his group. They were starving and suffered a lot along the way. After all, the Ice Plains is so vast, and not all demon creatures live in groups like them. With such a large army, food becomes a significant problem. Otherwise, there would be no fallen demons who would leave the main army at night to go out for food.

As soon as they saw someone coming this way, the eyes of the fallen demons suddenly lit up, and they rushed over desperately. They had to fight desperately. If they were a step late, they might not even have a bone left.

So, the army of fallen demons was divided into two parts. The fallen demons in front did not notice in time that their counterparts in the back were chasing food with all their strength. And the fallen demons in the back were determined to divide up the few foods, so they were not willing to tell their counterparts in the front.

Lan Wu glanced and quickly estimated the number of these fallen demons in his mind. About six or seven hundred, still within an acceptable range. He immediately waved his hand and directed Lan Ya and the other three skeletons to meet them.

A few miles is not far, especially on the plain. In less than fifteen minutes, the first fallen demon had arrived in front of Lan Ya.

But it was not Lan Ya who attacked first. Afafu's light arrow was the first to leave the bowstring and accurately hit the fallen demon that was almost within reach. The arrow containing the power of holy light penetrated into the body of the fallen demon, and immediately corroded its body like sulfuric acid.

With a hissing sound, a faint white smoke rose from the wound. The red muscles of the fallen demon rotted at a speed visible to the naked eye, dripping with drops of turbid pale mucus.

Sudden by the deadly power of holy light, the fallen demon screamed and turned around to flee back. The fear of death overcame hunger, and it chose to flee. Before it could run two steps, a white bone spear with green poison gas suddenly arrived.

The sharp bone spear pierced its body. The deadly toxin quickly invaded its body. In less than a second, the originally red fallen demon turned green, as if it had just crawled out of a green dye vat. Not long after piercing the fallen demon, the bone spear suddenly broke, and a group of green poisonous gas suddenly spread out, covering an area of ​​nearly three meters.

"Retreat." Lan Wu raised his voice to remind him, and at the same time raised his hand to signal Irene beside him to set a trap.

The flame resurrection trap fell, and the two of them, along with three skeletons and a clay stone demon, turned and ran. When the fallen demons saw the food escape, they immediately rushed over with chirping and screaming. They rushed so fiercely that they completely ignored the group of poisonous gas that condensed in the air.

Although the fallen demons are timid, they are not unintelligent beasts. Although the previous fallen demon was poisoned, it was still alive. They immediately chased after it boldly.

In an instant, at least a dozen fallen demons turned green and poisoned. Two seconds later, the fallen demon in the front triggered the trap. Five blazing waves of fire suddenly appeared on the ground.

At this moment, Lan Wu and his group turned around and launched a fierce counterattack.

Let's promote the book club. Of course, it is inevitable to ask for recommendation votes.
