The Swordsman of Faerûn

Chapter 637 The Ox Ghosts and Snake Gods Under the Burning Flames ([-])

When monsters encounter misfortune, they are no better than humans, and it should even be said to be worse.

At least when human beings face a crisis, they must first weigh the weights, and then make judgments based on experience and guesswork.Should I wait where I am, or should I investigate the news, find the leader, or protect my family, or gather my partners to defend or counterattack, or should I turn around and run for my life immediately after deciding that something is wrong?

The monsters are basically egoists who only care about themselves and ignore others. They can at most take care of their own small family or small team. Unless there is a strong leader to suppress them, they will never gather as a whole to act.

unity is strength.

Only when philosophy has developed to a certain level of civilization can this truth be summed up.Otherwise, it is easy to be distorted and turned into a fork, such as power is power, order breeds justice, justice gives me strength, etc., are all heresies.

At this time, the residents of the underground city in Dagger Falls are facing a disaster they have never encountered before. Endless streams of fire flow in from various vents and entrances and exits. , They rampage on the wide streets of the underground city, igniting everything they come across. Whenever they encounter panicked underground residents, they will even bravely rush to play and explode themselves.

There are many types of residents in the dungeon, among them there are shapeshifters, ghosts, vampires, liches, tieflings and other intelligent beings living in the dark world, and of course some humans and elves live in despair as slaves In this dark land.

At this moment, these beings or non-living beings with different identities and statuses, facing the oncoming flames and high temperatures that can destroy gold and molten iron, basically all become salted fish on the same starting line.Whether they are tauren warriors who can defeat hundreds of people, or liches with strange magic abilities, there is no difference in front of the flames. They frantically stay away from any burning area, flee towards the deepest part of the dungeon, and wantonly attack Hack and slash anyone in your way, or cast a deadly spell.

In the deepest part of the dungeon, in a gorgeous palace, several figures as pale as snow were leisurely discussing William and his people. Among these figures were elves, humans, and even a The dwarves in plate armor with gold decorations, their eyes were red like blood, their lips were black, and every time they spoke, they would inadvertently reveal a pair of sharp snake-like teeth.

There is no doubt that these guys are all vampires, the most feared and resented existence in Dagger Valley.They used the purest crystal cups, drank the fresh virgin blood mixed with the most mellow red wine—the blood of a woman, and then spoke chilling words in lazy tones.

"Our lambs are running out a bit fast! There are not many good things left in the window! Maybe tomorrow's breakfast will not have such a mellow wine of life." By the way, the vampire used red wine The blended blood is called the brew of life.

"Oh no! I don't want to drink the dirty blood of those pigs (referring to adult humans or elves, who generally exist as blood food for carnivorous monsters) pulled from the pigsty!"

"Perhaps we can contact the sheep dealers in Zhentil Castle and ask them to bring some high-quality female slaves. We have helped them so much, and they should be grateful in return."

"Who wants to go to that city full of sulfur? At least I don't want to go."

"Even if we contact the slave merchants in Zhentil Castle, it will take many days to go back and forth. How can we survive the few days we have?"

"I heard that some lambs on the ground who ran out of the sheepfold have chosen new leaders, and they are nearby, ready to return to the old place. Ha, what a group of fickle beasts, they abandoned their old sheep without mercy. Chief. Maybe we can pick some delicious lambs from those returning flocks to make up for the lack of blood in these few days."

"Shut up! Dwarf, don't mention the word blood eater, you are a rude bastard! You seem to never learn the elegance of the Nightborne!" The vampires of human and elf origin roared at the dwarf vampire almost in unison.

"Oh - I hate working with a guy who is as rude as a wild boar, especially when he is my brother! No, I will never admit that this dwarf is our brother! Mama Miya!" This is a flirtatious elf The vampire uttered an almost aria-like exclamation, which drew unanimous admiration from his kind, save for the dwarven vampire in gold-plated armor.

"This time the flood disaster (vampires generally call water flow, because they hate the name water) our flock has suffered a lot. When harvesting lambs, we can't catch them all. We should give them a little bit of convenience to reproduce and expand as much as possible. the size of the flock before our ranch goes bankrupt."

"Don't worry, the reproductive ability of human beings is almost as terrifying as goblins. As long as there is enough food, they can grow out of the ground in no time and become a large brood of lambs! Maybe we can deploy some feed (referring to food), Give these lucky animals a low price."

"Well, this idea is very good. I leave it to you, Viscount Moen, go to adjust the feed. Remember! Make sure that all the feed is high-quality, after all, only when the lambs are raised white and fat, they will Those who are willing to give birth to their heart's content!"

The human vampire known as Viscount Moen gracefully performed a cumbersome aristocratic etiquette to his kind, and then walked out of the palace with dancing steps.

Only those depraved and extravagant fellows were left to elegantly discuss the taste difference between human lambs and elf lambs, as well as the unique flavor of those hybrid lambs.

Less than a quarter of an hour after Viscount Moen left in the teleportation circle that belongs exclusively to vampires, a group of flame creatures rushed out of the gate of flames on the ground again, but it was a group of flame mages and fire elves. A [Space Anchor] magic scroll was smashed in the corner, which was a "cheap item" scavenged by the elder Turmu of the fire dwarf from several plane merchants who passed through the flame world.

Of course, the process is definitely not very friendly, and the army with a knife handle will inevitably behave rougher when doing this kind of thing.

And at the moment when the [Space Anchor] was smashed down, the fate of the underground residents of Waterfall Town was already doomed. No matter how much glory or sin they had borne, they had all become a thing of the past at this time.

The terrifying flames chased the frantically fleeing monsters, engulfed them, and then performed a baptism and purification from body to soul, leaving only a few ashes to prove that there were traces of it in the world.

When a group of monsters and demons who escaped by chance rushed into the vampire's palace like crazy, the vampires could no longer maintain their elegance.

The demons and monsters who can escape from the magma-like flames must be the strongest and luckiest batch. They beat the bewildered vampires into the dust, and then frantically tortured the vampires about the teleportation circle or the physical force. The information on escape routes, their methods of torture or torture spells are so cruel, efficient, and leave no room for trouble.

The three most arrogant vampires were tortured into a puddle of flesh and blood in a short period of time. Only the most humble dwarf vampire wisely told everything he knew, but he was not left alone either. The fleeing demons gave him the final brainstorm.

Of course, these tortures and attacks did not kill any vampires. After all, the vitality of vampires is extremely tenacious, and their regeneration ability is even more terrifying than that of trolls. Without specific targeted attacks, there is almost no way to kill them directly kill them.

But these vampires are still in a state of confusion. They can't understand how those damn rioters dare to offend the real owner of this land. Don't they fear the cruel revenge from the vampire lord?
When the vampires struggled to recover from serious injuries and pains, the first thing they thought of was to drink a mouthful of sweet blood for themselves to supplement their energy consumption during the torture and recovery process.They even planned to cruelly kill a batch of lambs, so as to relieve their feelings of being greatly frightened and pent up anger.

Vampires are undead creatures that are not sensitive to temperature. They are immersed in their emotions and do not notice the changes in the surrounding temperature in time.When the four vampires came to a side hall and looked at the terrified expressions of the helpless lambs waiting to be slaughtered, their tortured mood immediately became happy, and a tyrannical breath began to emanate from the surface of the vampire's body. spread.

Vampires can expand their upper and lower jaws like snakes. They opened their ferocious mouths bigger than a washbasin, revealing terrifying fangs and disgusting mouthparts. Behind them, the statue of the bronze-clad gold palace door Drums are generally sounded.

All the vampires showed extremely angry expressions, and one of the elf vampires screamed: "I must tear up those damn blood slaves! Despicable maggots! How dare they disturb the great feast of the Nightborne?!"

The bronze-clad gold gate was slammed open, and then the furious vampires brutally tore apart the first blood slave who rushed in. At the last moment of death, this loyal vampire slave was still screaming "Fire! Fire!" !" What, there was an unbelievable astonishment on his face that was still in shock.

There were six or seven blood slaves who came to report the news at the door. They never expected that their master would kill them crazily as soon as he came up. Almost in the blink of an eye, three unlucky ones became under the claws of vampires. victim of.

Blood slaves are slaves of vampires. They can be humans or elves (only the images of these two races are more in line with the aesthetics of vampires). Each of them is an extremely handsome man and woman. They are admirers of the Nightborne, willing to To offer their blood, their bodies, and their unreserved allegiance to their masters, they hope only that the vampires will grant them the embrace of immortality and become part of the great Nightborne.

The inside story about the blood slave is not the focus of our story, the focus is what is happening now.

The blood slaves still belonged to mortals, and they began to sweat profusely under the increasingly unbearable scorching heat, and of course some of the frightened cold sweat turned into hot sweat.

The vampires brutally tore up six blood slaves who had no sense of resistance, leaving only the last terrified elf blood slave, and they will decide the remaining blood slave based on the information provided by the last messenger. If the blood slave's information is not so important or urgent, then as punishment for interrupting their master's happy moment, the vampires will mercilessly suck the blood of the elf blood slave, and then tear her to pieces.

Of course, if the blood slaves have enough information, they will still suck her blood dry, and then feed the blood slaves some rotten blood that only belongs to vampires, making her a new cute vampire, provided that she can bear the burden. Live this dangerous gift.

A creature that drinks the corrupted blood of a vampire has only a 50.00% chance of successfully becoming a new vampire, and a 50.00% chance of transforming into a rampaging blood demon without any reason at all. This failed mutant Only to be crushed on the spot by other vampires.

It's just that before the elf blood slave recovered from the panic and provided any information to her master, the overwhelming flames poured into the palace like a tide.

At this time, there was no need for the elf blood slaves to provide information. The vampires finally understood the reason for the rebellion of those damned rebellious demon monsters, and also understood the reason why these stupid blood slaves were willing to disturb them to enjoy the lamb and come to report.

Originally, the vampires still had a chance to escape from the pursuit of the sea of ​​flames, not to mention their unparalleled escape speed, the familiarity with the palace alone was enough for them to hide in the escape passage safely when they got the news in time.

It's a pity that the overly arrogant vampires killed their only chance with their own hands. Their behavior of killing blood slaves delayed the most precious time. This is a profound lesson.

The vampires who fell into a sluggish look stupidly at the oncoming flames. One of the vampires who was holding the elven blood slave smashed the useless slave into the billowing flames, and then he was also engulfed by the flames. The other vampires, and then the lambs in the side temple.

What a pity!How wasteful it is to burn those delicious lambs to a pool of useless ashes before they have had time to eat them!
While the vampires were being burned by the flames, they sighed inwardly. They were not afraid of flames, or vampires with a certain level of strength were hardly afraid of any harm. They could even take a short bath in the magma , but the burning pain cannot be avoided.

Only those newborn vampires and inferior vampire offspring would be afraid of the damage of flames.

However, these vampires whose outer skin was almost burnt to charcoal soon discovered a frightening situation. The elf blood slave was not burned to death, but she was enveloped by a bright flame.It's not how bright that flame is, but its characteristics that cannot be ignored. Even in a world full of high-temperature flames, that flame is still the most eye-catching existence.

In the flames, the elf blood slave was like a baby returning to its mother's nest, sleeping peacefully and peacefully.
