The necromancer just wants to plant trees

…

Gudonggudong!

The black thing kept rolling on the ground, and it didn't stop until it hit the stone wall on the right side of everyone.

Matthew took a closer look. Isn't this Edson's head?

"Did you kill him?"

Combined with the gift he just received, Matthew understood the cause and effect.

Laila nodded heavily:

“My name is Leila, and I used to serve the Scourge Order.

“Now I want to negotiate a deal with you, and to show my sincerity, I am the first to deliver Ederson’s head.

“He is the Southern Patriarch of the Calamity Religion, and there are currently only six other people at the same level as him in the entire Calamity Religion.

"By doing this, I completely cut off the way back to the Calamity Cult. I think this should dispel some of your doubts."

Rhaegar winked at Matthew:

"Be careful of fraud!"

As he spoke, he raised the big sword in his hand and was ready for battle at any time.

When Laila heard this, she suddenly took a step forward. Everyone was stimulated by this and were about to take action, but the next second, the drow warrior took off all his clothes resolutely.

Silently.

Pieces of fabric slid down her ankles.

Everyone couldn't help but widen their eyes in astonishment. What a shocking body that was -

The skin that was originally tightly wrapped in cloth was exposed with bruises, brands, blood sores, rotten wounds and sutures, as well as the half-cut breast on the left chest!

This scene makes people feel cold all over.

"Is this what people from your sect did to you?"

Matthew asked in a deep voice.

Laila put on her clothes one by one with an expressionless expression:

“It is not our sect. Regardless of whether my cooperation with you is successful or not, I am no longer a member of the Natural Disaster Religion.

“He’s called Father, I don’t know his name, but his status within the cult is supreme, and even Edson has to humble himself in front of him.

"I suspect that he is the descendant of the evil god, and his abnormality scares me.

"During the last punishment, he even took out my spine - he told me that perhaps becoming an invertebrate would better please the supreme being he called me. He asked me if I was willing. At that time, I was completely collapsed.

"This is why I appear in front of you now. I never want to face that pervert again."

After Rega looked at the other party's wounds, his originally sharp eyes softened slightly.

However, he still asked:

"What deal do you want to make with us?"

Laila said calmly:

"I once swore allegiance to the evil god, and now I have betrayed his order. There is no way he will let me go, so I want to become an "Oathbreaker"!

"This ritual requires the help of many people, and I hope you can help me share the anger from the evil god during this process.

“And what I can provide you is all the information about the Natural Disaster Cult and some news about the Dragon Worship Cult.

"If you want to know information about the Underdark Region, Black Dragon City, Deep City and other places, I will also consider informing you as appropriate."

Rhaegar pressed forward step by step:

"What if we ask you to tell us the information first?"

Laila said cheerfully:

"no problem!"

Rhaegar said doubtfully:

"Aren't you afraid of our betrayal?"

Laila said calmly:

"I didn't trust any of the Underdark people when I was in the Underdark; almost every one of them was a treacherous, duplicitous character, and that's never been wrong.

"But I have always heard legends on the surface. They say that people on the surface are very innocent and kind. You rarely betray your companions and are willing to abide by your oaths.

“I don’t know whether this information is true or false, but I am willing to give it a try.

"If you kill me in the end, it will be a relief for me."

Although these words were spoken in a calm tone, they were said so sincerely that it was impossible to fault him.

Rega looked at Li Weiqi, who waved his hand.

So he patted Matthew on the shoulder and took two steps back:

"This is your team, it's up to you to decide. Personally, I don't want to trust any drow, but she may be an exception, or she may not be."

Matthew thought to himself, no wonder you can be the mayor and talk nonsense.

Matthew thought working with Leila was worth a try.

He felt that the other party was not lying.

But it is true as Rhaegar said, you must be careful when dealing with underground creatures.

Then Matthew spoke:

"I'm willing to believe you, but before formal cooperation, I want to know more: For example, why are you here? What's going on in Edson's head?"

Laila immediately replied:

"After the last sneak attack on Rolling Stone Town failed, I returned to the "Temple" with Edson's head. The evil god who called himself the God of Midnight used a secret method to resurrect him, but he also turned him into a nondescript monster. Ed Sen has always held a grudge against what happened in Rolling Stone. He even changed his name to the Avenger just to show that he only wanted revenge.

"Three weeks ago, my father claimed to have received a message from the oracle, asking us to rush here and build an altar in an underground cave.

“Later we learned that the purpose of establishing this altar was to cooperate with Blinken of the Dragon Cult.

“Just this evening, Blinken sacrificed a strange little ball on the altar, and then the evil god behind the Scourge gave him a few pages of the Book of Blasphemy.

“I don’t quite understand what it is, I just know that Blinken was very excited after getting the Book of Blasphemy, but he was almost killed by the Book of Blasphemy.

"I can be sure that Blinken became very weak after getting the Book of Blasphemy that did not belong to him. Even if I take action, I still have a chance to kill him!

"But Edson was unwilling to do this. He had a small relationship with Blinken, so he let the latter go. Of course, this may also be the instruction of the evil god.

"Edson has the ability to communicate with the evil god. Unfortunately, the evil god is the evil god. He claims to be able to foresee the future, but he can't see my scimitar, hum!"

When it comes to the last sentence.

Laila's tone was obviously proud.

Matthew couldn't fault it after hearing it.

He asked Laila curiously:

"Why are you so sure that the god you serve is an evil god?"

Laila asked rhetorically:

"Otherwise? Is he still a true god? A true god looking for a magician? Isn't that ridiculous?!"

Matthew looked strange:

"Do all the people in your sect think so?"

Laila nodded and said:

"Absolutely. Except for a few fanatical guys, everyone else doesn't believe his statement that his true identity is the "God of Midnight"!

“According to the old people in the Underdark, when the evil gods in the past deceived mortals to work for them, they liked to call themselves true gods, and let their believers sing their praises by calling them true gods.

“And the evil god behind the Calamity Cult, who calls himself the God of Midnight, dares not let us use the title of God of Midnight!

“You only have this little courage and you keep saying you want to do big things, don’t you think it’s ridiculous?

"If I look at it, He's not even a god, he's probably just a big evil demon!"

The phrase "large evil devil" almost made Matthew laugh out loud.

He really wanted to tell Laila that this was actually a beautiful misunderstanding. The person she served before was really a true god, but she was forced to use the demon vest because of Tianlun Palace Shengque.

The God of Midnight himself would probably vomit three liters of blood if he heard his subordinates criticize him so harshly.

At this time, Matthew somewhat believed that Laila had sincerely abandoned the dark side and turned to the bright side.

He turned back and discussed with a few people, and they all planned to go and have a look near the altar. On the one hand, he wanted to verify Laila's account, and on the other hand, he also planned to destroy it.

An altar to an evil god could easily cause disaster to the local ecology if left alone.

This place is not far from the surface of the rainforest, and Matthew intends to eradicate it due to both emotions and reasons.

"Take us to the altar. This is the first step in our cooperation."

Matthew emphasized.

Laila was not surprised. She had been mentally prepared for this when she revealed the existence of the altar.

"I'll lead the way, you don't have to follow too closely."

"All the monsters on this road have been cleaned up by the Natural Disaster Cult. You can walk slowly with torches."

As she said that, she turned around and walked towards the darkness.

Everyone quickly followed.

More than twenty minutes later.

The terrain ahead changed significantly. The narrow tunnel suddenly expanded in all directions, and then, a huge underground cave appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

This cave is more than ten meters high, with rows of stalactites hanging upside down like glaciers. Colorful gems are embedded in them, reflecting colorful shimmers in the darkness.

Below the stalactites.

A huge square altar stood majestically.

The group of people slowly approached the altar. Halfway there, Li Weiqi suddenly sniffed the air with his nose:

"Is this where you just killed Edson?"

Laila, who was leading the way, turned around and nodded relaxedly.

But the next second.

In the horrified eyes of everyone, a purple flame rose from the altar and rushed to Laila's back at lightning speed!

In the blink of an eye.

Laila let out a miserable cry, and her whole body was ignited with that kind of purple flame!

That is, the fire of divine punishment!

"Traitors, you should repent in the endless burning. You will be burned in the flames for forty-nine days until your dirty and feeble soul completely disappears."

A deep voice came from the altar.

In just a few seconds, all the clothes and hair on Laila's body, including her hair, were burned clean!

The purple fire danced on the surface of her skin and crawled under it!

"She'll die if this keeps up, Matthew!"

Li Weiqi shouted loudly.

Matthew made a quick decision:

"Lyla! If you still want to live, perform the "Oathbreaker" ritual now! "

Laila was engulfed in purple fire and writhing on the ground in agony.

Li Weiqi leaned over, but did not dare to get closer. He only breathed twice in the middle distance to relieve her some pain.

crucial moment.

Laila's forehead was almost wrinkled in three layers. She was sweating profusely. She gritted her teeth in great pain and cut her arm thirteen times with a machete!

"I decided to break my oath. Even if I perish in the sea of ​​fire forever, even if I dance on the tip of a knife, I am willing to spend the rest of my life hating my former sect master!

“I will be unfaithful, I will be ruthless, I will be unkind, and I will be unjust!

I will fall into endless darkness and never see the light of day;

I will become a despised ghost, and it will be difficult for me to recover;

But I still curse everything in this world. I will eventually overthrow all this filth, and I will eventually become reborn from the ashes——

Oathbreaker! "

She struggled to finish reciting this prayer, and the damage caused to her by the purple fire on her body was immediately reduced by more than half.

Upon seeing this, Li Weiqi hurriedly walked over, and from a distance of half a meter, he used the dragon's energy to suppress the purple fire for her.

Her condition gradually stabilized.

However, on the altar, I remembered a faint laughter:

“I know that you hypocritical humans are not willing to give up even one traitor.

I originally wanted to let you go, but you just gave me such a chance.

You know, those who break the oath will have to face the punishment of the gods!

This is a legitimate revenge that even the Scourge Mage would not object to. "

While talking.

Rays of colorful light lit up from the altar.

"The altar must be destroyed immediately!"

Matthew knew that the Oathbreaker ritual gave the Midnight God an excuse to exert its power on the lower world, and this altar would exponentially amplify the other party's influence!

He is actually a little confused now.

If Laila is left alone, everyone will definitely be able to leave. After all, she is the only legitimate target of the Midnight God.

But Laila holds a lot of key information about the Scourge Order.

Matthew didn't want to let her die just like that, but it wasn't that easy to destroy the altar quickly, especially when the God of Midnight had increased his power in disguise.

"Give me anything, the bigger the volume and energy density, the better!"

At the critical moment, Bobo stood up and said loudly:

"What we artificers are best at is making bombs!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this and were ready to find a suitable object for her.

But time is running out right now.

Three rays of light exploded on the altar in succession.

The first light scattered like a meteor, and then, a large number of densely packed vampire bats flew in from the distance of the underground cave!

Vampire bats were constantly hovering above everyone's heads, obviously waiting for an opportunity to move.

After the second light and the third light exploded, a portal appeared in their place.

Several tall and muscular devils with horns on their foreheads and blazing flames burning on their tails emerged from one of the portals.

Behind them there are a group of little lemures helping out.

The weird thing is.

The other portal was empty, as if nothing had been transmitted.

"Be careful, it's an invisible unit!"

Matthew and Rhaegar shouted almost at the same time.

Matthew subconsciously took out the lime powder from his bag, and just as he was about to scatter it in that direction, Rega had already taken out several bottles of developing powder, and threw it towards the ground in front of him as if for free!

Matthew calmly stuffed the lime powder back.

boom! boom! boom!

Lei Jia's developing powder is a truly high-end product. It has the effect of automatically detecting enemies and makes the molting gel in that area appear in an instant!

…

"Warning: You and your team encountered a large group of vampire bats (group level LV9), 300 molting gels (already revealed), 7 horned demon warriors (LV15), and a large number of little lemure servants!"

…

Although Rao was already mentally prepared, everyone's scalps went numb when they saw the more than 300 molting gels.

The lavender developing powder is evenly sprinkled on their squirming bodies, almost not enough.

"Damn it!"

Rhaegar sharply lowered his sword and took out two more bottles with his backhand.

"You guys drag it for a while, and I'll apply some sword oil!"

Li Weiqi, who was taking care of Laila next to him, cursed angrily:

"Didn't you just apply it?"

Rhaegar responded while wiping it:

"The monster type doesn't match, you have to re-apply it!"

At the critical moment, Matthew couldn't care so much.

As soon as the dense sloughing gel appeared, he ordered his two assassin generals to deal with them.

Compared to living creatures, the undead are indeed better at dealing with molting gel.

Especially Ah Piao, she has no body, and the molting gel poses no real threat to her. As long as she is given enough time, Ghost can kill all these monsters by herself!

"Leave those devils to me!"

Lumiere volunteered, and Matthew naturally would not veto it. Judging from his sprinting posture, it was easy to see that this guy had been holding back a lot of energy today and was about to vent his anger on these devils!

call!

Lumiere jumped high, jumped over the molting gel underneath, and stepped directly on the edge of the altar.

He rushed to the front of the devil in one stride and put his hands directly on the opponent's chest.

The horned devil warriors are also known for their strength in purgatory. They will naturally not retreat when faced with provocations from little humans.

He stepped forward to meet him.

The few horned demons behind also followed and watched the fun.

Then they were pushed to the altar pillar by Lumiere like a train!

boom!

The stone pillar suddenly broke off and hit the horned demons on their heads. Some of the horned demons were knocked dizzy, while the remaining ones were very angry.

They rushed towards Lumière, trying to capture him.

However, the son of the rainforest, with full firepower, finally showed his terrifying hand-to-hand combat strength.

But when he saw the fingers of his hands spread wide and his claws waving quickly like a cheetah, after a few breaths, a big hole was torn open in the throats of almost all the horned demons.

Blood gurgled out!

However, the devil is physically strong and incredibly tough. They just touched their throats and launched another siege on Lumière!

Lumiere did not dodge, but roared and rushed forward, like a ferocious humanoid beast, completely wrestling with the devils!

Behind, vampire bats saw the opportunity and swarmed down.

However, little did they know that Matthew had been waiting for them for a long time!

Just as they swoop.

Matthew quickly completed a spell reconciliation through a standard spell action.

…

"Tip: You used spell reconciliation, and the reconciliation targets are "Wild Form (Wind God Pterosaur)" and "Death Shock Wave";

After the reconciliation is completed, "Wild Form (Wind God Pterosaur)" is strengthened into "Wild Form (Death Pterosaur)".

It is expected that the size of the Aeolian Pterosaur you incarnate will increase slightly, its intelligence will be +2, and it will have the ability of "breath of death"! "

…

Although there was no prior reconciliation, the final effect was pretty much what Matthew had envisioned.

Previously, he used raven and rot sac control as materials and came up with a basic template.

Looking at it now, although the effects of spell reconciliation are random, there are certain rules.

For example, adding a certain spell-type ability to the wilderness form can probably give this wilderness form similar spell abilities.

next moment.

A ray of moonlight lit up on Matthew's body, and facing the impact of the vampire bats, he quickly transformed into the enemy's natural enemy——

Death pterosaur!

Compared with the normal Aeolian Pterosaur, the color of the Death Pterosaur's skin and feathers has all turned gray, which symbolizes negative energy.

Matthew shook his hand casually, and a large piece of ashes fell down.

The pterosaur opened its big mouth and breathed death at the group of bats!

Whirring whirring!

Terrifying negative energy was spat out from his mouth. The original serious injury judgment of the death shock wave was not only inherited by the death breath, but also a slight amount of instant death judgment was added.

The level of vampire bats is not low, but it is a group level. Their individual lives are weak and pitiful. The bats that were sprayed indiscriminately by Matthew are like mosquitoes that have been sprayed with powerful insecticides, and they crash one by one. .

Matthew puffed into the sky and was still not satisfied, so he swept around the ground again.

As undead creatures, Molting Gel is not very afraid of the breath of death, but the continuous severe injury judgment still affects the rhythm of their wriggling.

Ah Piao took this opportunity and stepped forward to harvest wildly.

At this time, several more rays of light lit up on the altar, and new monsters came to help.

Matthew knew that fighting like this was not an option.

So he turned back to look at Bobo:

“Have you found something suitable?”

Bobo had already put her backpack on the ground and took out everything inside. She said to Matthew with some dejection:

"The energy density of the things I carry with me is not high enough, so it will be difficult to completely blow up the core of the altar!"

Matthew's eyes scanned the area.

Suddenly.

He saw something, so he flew over, grabbed it, and threw it in front of Bobo.

"What do you think of this thing? It looks like the energy density is not low. This once belonged to a high-level magician!"

He pointed his paw at Ederson's head.

Bobo was stunned for a moment:

"But I've never tried pouring into a human head?"

Matthew asked:

"Then do you have a better option?"

Bobo looked at Rhaegar's great sword.

The latter covered his head warily:

"No, this is my family heirloom, and it will be passed on to my grandson and grandson's grandson or grandson in the future!"

Matthew also advised:

"If nothing else is better, try this."

"If there is really no way to destroy the altar, we will have no choice but to retreat."

It is irrational to fight a protracted war with a true God at the altar.

Even if this god pulls it now.

Matthew had made up his mind to order a retreat once the Bobo infusion failed.

He cared more about the lives of other people in the team than Laila.

Bobo held Ederson's head and looked left and right.

Finally he said helplessly:

"Then let me try. Although it is easy for an artificer to turn everything into explosives, I don't think I can do this."

As she spoke, she put her hand on Edson's forehead and began to use the unique ability of the artificer——

Item infusion!

Sizzle!

There was a burst of blue light like electric welding.

Edson's eyes began to bulge out, and strange dirt came out of his ears.

After a few seconds.

Rega stood up and said with high spirits: "I'm ready, let the group of vampire bats come over!"

Unexpectedly, before he could raise the big sword, he was pushed from behind. When he looked back, he saw a panicked Bobo!

The latter also held a head as bright as day in his hand!

"Matthew Matthew! I felt something was wrong. I kept watching and it seemed like it was going to explode on its own!"

Bobo shouted a little uneasily:

"I can't delay the explosion of this head like a normal object!"

Matthew, who was killing monsters in the air, quickly flew back and turned into a human when he landed.

"We need someone to drop this bomb on the altar!"

Bobo showed rare nervousness.

"give it to me!"

At some point, Lumiere had already dealt with the group of horned demons and returned to everyone covered in blood.

Rega decisively stopped him:

"Leave it to me. This thing looks very dangerous. I don't seem to be able to help. Just let me do it!"

At this time, Matthew walked over quickly:

"Remember not to play this trick in front of me in the future. Is there a necromancer in the team who still wants to be the cannon fodder?"

As he said that, Matthew summoned the body of a horned demon warrior and asked him to hold the bomb and walk quickly towards the altar.

The others also quickly escaped after clearing away the monsters along the way for the horned demon zombies.

Even Li Weiqi followed the weak drow warrior in his arms.

"Are you sure that thing will explode?"

The people who quickly evacuated stood in the distance, looking at the altar.

Rega pointed at the horned demon zombie:

"Don't you think his movements are very clumsy, and he may not be able to reach the core area of ​​the altar?"

"And it's impossible for this evil god to just watch us blow up the altar without taking any action."

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of Infernal Firebirds flew out of the portal. They attacked the Horned Demon Zombie with the obvious purpose of taking Edson's head away from the altar.

However, at this time, without any warning, a circle of blue light bloomed from Ederson's head.

Everyone who consciously stood far enough away felt their ears buzzing!

Then there was a spin!

As everyone screamed and fell in all directions, they could vaguely see signs of crumbling on the stalactites above their heads!

The explosion came with a bang.

The violent tremors made the soles of everyone's feet numb.

The falling rocks caused a cloud of dust in the sky.

The ground shook for several minutes before it finally calmed down.

When the dust falls to the ground.

Under the protection of A Bing and A Piao, Matthew patted the dirt on his body unharmed.

"Is everyone okay?"

he asked, sticking his head out.

Bobo, covered in dust, was the first to jump out of the corner and respond:

"Good news, Matthew, we succeeded in blowing up the altar!"

Matthew didn't have time to share Bobo's joy.

The next second.

Just listen to Rega coughing and say:

"The bad news is that the explosion just caused a large-scale underground landslide, and our way back was blocked by a pile of falling rocks."

Bobo jumped up happily after hearing this:

"It's okay, it's okay, just find me something with higher density!"

"I will definitely lead you to a blast!"

Matthew quickly stopped Popo's impulse to score twice.

The underground cave is already crumbling, and it is hard to say whether it will be reborn or ascended to heaven again.

Matthew first went to check on the conditions of some other people, and after confirming that everyone was fine, he was ready to re-explore the surrounding situation.

It's just that he didn't take a few steps out.

Then I found a wooden corner in a pile of rocks.

Matthew bent down and pushed aside the rocks.

The thing immediately revealed its true appearance.

…

"Hint: You found an "unopened treasure chest from another world""

…
