Chapter 292 Fire
The thief girl's cool words made everyone's eyes lit up. That's right, if the lich and its servants don't come out, can we just wait? We can still force them out!
Terryvan, who has never spoken much or made suggestions, has obviously recognized the strength of the team and is actively preparing to integrate into the team. Otherwise, with her indifferent temperament, she will definitely not say anything.
"That's right! We can cut some wood. When we came here before, I saw a lot of rotten wood in the abandoned logging field. Those could be used as firewood. Anyway, no one in this ghost castle will use it again except the lich, so I just burned it all over the firewood and didn't believe it." The elf thief added coldly. Obviously, she not only thought of a solution, but also had a lot of execution to think of it, which was a good sign.
"Terryvan is right. Although the undead do not need to breathe and the use of smoke is useless, if it is fire, they are still very afraid of flames. Even if the lich has a way, its servants will definitely not be able to stop the scorching fire. Although most of this ghost castle is stone, I believe there are still many wooden structures in the internal building structure, and it can be burned with some material."
Eiger added that the material he mentioned refers to a batch of crude oil in his space. He had prepared a batch of miscellaneous things before, but he didn't expect it to come in handy. So...
He suddenly became interested in another thing, turned to Teri Lan and asked, "You sisters are elves, you are still druids. Didn't you say you admire the most natural balance? Why did your sister say you wanted to cut down trees, and you didn't mean at all?"
"Captain, what should I say? Stop it?" The druid girl was also puzzled.
"Yes. According to my understanding, shouldn't you cut down whoever cuts trees?"
"This is a misunderstanding. Elves and druids prefer the way of nature, but they are not that extreme. You should know that in Teda Hill, Black Coast and Ashes Valley, there are a large number of wooden buildings in the settlements of elves. Isn't it all built by logging? Our druids oppose deforestation, but if such deforestation is to fight against the evil undead. As an elf druid, I should stand up, right?"
"Okay. You won!" Egg found that he was indeed a little misunderstanding of these druids. They were not stubborn to the point of being particularly stubborn: "Then let's go to the logging farm to make some wood. Let's try to pile up as much as possible and burn it hard. It's best to burn these evil undead directly into it."
"good!"
The logging farm is not far away, and everyone does not act separately, because it is easy to get the other party’s way and be defeated by others. Instead of doing this, it is better to go together. There are many people and strong forces, and you will not be afraid of being attacked by sneak attacks.
Terryvan really saw it well. Although it was abandoned, there was still a lot of abandoned wood. It was not good to use it for construction, but it was definitely good to use it as firewood. In addition, there was firewood in the things that Eiger had prepared before. Not only that, there was a lot of charcoal and even a lot of crude oil. So after collecting it for a while, he announced that the materials were ready. So all the staff returned to the Ghost Castle.
It was still quiet, as if nothing had changed after they left.
"Osha, have you turned on the undead tracking? Can you find the undead around you?"
"It's opened, but there seems to be no living undead around me. I can't detect it in the Ghost Castle, but looking at these traces, it's obvious that there are a large number of undead inside, and it's estimated that there are at least hundreds of them."
Everyone was shocked by this number. Fortunately, they didn't carelessly break in directly, otherwise they wouldn't know how they died. But now it's okay, with a fire, there are probably not many undead creatures that can really break out, right? Probably...
"Everyone hurry up and put the wood collected in their respective spaces quickly. I'll put the charcoal and add fuel. I'll put the fire up before they react."
So everyone became busy quickly. The ghost castle was very big after all, but they collected enough firewood, and at least most of the places were covered with wood. Eiger used the mage's hand to pour a bucket of crude oil everywhere, waiting for the fire to go together...
The inner fort was built very firmly, with only one entrance and exit, so the pressure on the defense party was very small, but on the other hand, as long as the other party blocked the exit, it would be a one-man who could not open the door. Now, the mercenary group was tightly guarding this only passage. Seeing that there was no problem with the layout, Egg saw that there was no problem with the arrangement, and he was not vague. He directly made a fireball and smashed it hard at the gate of the inner fort, which was full of wood and coke...
The fire soon spread throughout the inner castle, and with the help of wind and oil, the fire quickly ignited. The entire castle was like a giant torch. Even though it was far away, the sky-sky fire could still be seen. I believe that at this moment, Hoffman and the others should have seen it. This flame means that the Warcraft Mercenary Group did not use his money to do nothing. Not only did they do it, but they also seemed to have done a big deal.
Being far outside the door, you can still feel the hot high temperature. Claya at the front felt hot on her face, and even her hair was curled. They were all like this, let alone the undead inside... The fire was burned well, it was so good, and it was so terrifying that even if they could escape, many guys would have only half their lives left at most.
It's strange that from the moment of fire to the present, you can vaguely see someone flashing inside, but no one breaks out. Could it be that the lich is not inside?
No, this proves that the lich is inside, it may be trying to maintain order. Otherwise, if these undead creatures had not been commanded, how could they have not rushed out yet?
"Prepare for the battle, they are about to rush out!" Egg reminded loudly, and everyone was cheered up when they heard this.
Sure enough, piles of undead creatures rushed out. They were obviously commanded by someone, ready to rush out. However, how could the team make them come true?
When the first wave of skeletons surged out, they unfortunately triggered the preset "explosion trap" and "frost trap". The more violent flame explosion swept them. The most deadly thing was the frost trap. A large number of skeletons were slowed down, and then... traffic jams!
Yes, the team's strategy is to block them here.
The blazing flames are like natural disasters, burning more and more. Many skeletons and zombies are already dead on the way forward, and more undead are still crowding forward. They must squeeze out a way of life. If they continue to stay inside, there will be no chance of life. Under this heavy pressure, many elite undeads, under the instructions of their masters, began to push and even kill ordinary undead creatures blocking the road... They must open a path for their masters!
In fact, in the world of the undead, the lich has absolute dominance, at least in this castle. It requires all the undead to give way to it, and no one dares to refuse to follow it. But the problem is that many undead are in the cracks and are burning with flames. They don’t know where to retreat. Therefore, when the lich is blocked and there is only one way to die, they have to order stronger undead creatures to manually clear the "roadblocks"...
The wooden structure on the upper part of the castle has been completely burned, and a large number of stones lack the necessary load-bearing force, and they have been smashed down one after another, smashing the mess...
If he did not escape from here, he would have to be completely buried here. Originally, Count Durcula was very excited when he discovered that a professional invasion was invaded, because as long as he killed these guys, he would soon add a few private collections to his collection. He even used his supreme authority to order the servants in the inner castle to go out for any reason, in order to attract professionals outside, and for this reason it prepared many magic traps...
Now, everything has become a ridiculous cloud. Smartness is mistaken by cleverness. When the fire comes together, its many preparations have become stumbling blocks for everyone to escape. A large number of magic traps are triggered by skeletons and zombies, which seriously hinders traffic. Now, it needs to be more decisive.
"Death and wither!"
This is a very terrifying undead magic, which can almost be regarded as the natal magic of the Lich. Even the most powerful Lich will carefully avoid using this magic frequently, because it is a powerful double-edged sword. While destroying everything, it will also cause a considerable backlash on the Lich's soul, let alone a new Lich. However, Dracula doesn't care about so much now. It was worried about its own collection before, but it delayed the chance of escaping. Now the only exit has collapsed, and the escape passage is blocked, and it must open another passage.
Egg and the others were very happy to see that the upper part of the castle began to collapse, and even the gate they were guarding was blocked because of the falling of several huge rocks. If it went well, they could wait outside for the fire to be extinguished and then come here to erect a tombstone. He had thought of the eulogy on it... "The Tomb of Count Durcula in a certain month of a certain year", isn't this cool?
But some things always look like the indestructible Xiaoqiang, especially things like lich...
"Go away from here, back, back!" Egg shouted loudly. Without saying, everyone had already begun to retreat one after another.
Because they were looking at the guards, a large amount of dead energy burst out, with a huge range. From the inside of the castle, there were even signs of spreading outward. All the touched undead creatures quickly aged, withered, withered, decayed, and eventually lost any power of action and became a mass of ugly mud. Not only undead creatures, but even the lifeless boulders softened, weathered, and slowly disappeared at an extremely terrible speed... completely disappeared.
Everyone took a breath of air conditioning, what a domineering magic! (To be continued)
