Chapter 35 Orcs and Crystal Skulls
While He Taiping was blocked by the undead monarch, Helen and others who rushed into the jungle before him had already rushed into the depths of the jungle under the ruthless opening of Ejay and Alex. Although everyone had the urge to return to rescue, Helen repeatedly stopped their reckless behavior. The woman forced herself to suppress her inner worries. She told herself rationally that as long as she was not arrested, He Taiping would have a chance to survive...
Despite this, human emotions cannot be replaced by reason. The more I tell myself to calm down, the more I feel the ups and downs Helen's heart will be. An emotion that I have never experienced before spreads in her heart, with sadness but a little happiness. This contradictory psychological change makes her confused. Could it be that it is because...
"Wait, where did Angel go?" Drizzt suddenly stopped and shouted in a deep voice as he ran. Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they realized that Angel, who had been following them, had disappeared, and no one noticed when she left. But two seconds later, Drizzt, who discovered this phenomenon, shook his head and sighed: "Forget it, I should be able to guess where she went. Let's escape from this jungle first!"
"I'm afraid it's too late!" Yijie suddenly sighed and looked up at the sky. The dense group of bone eagles had already enveloped the jungle at this time and began to slowly circling and fall. Hundreds of skeleton warriors and skeleton mages jumped off the back of the eagle, forming a surround net in an instant. With a long low roar, a bone dragon fell from the sky. The breath of death destroyed several big trees in an instant, and also warned the fugitives not to act rashly.
Everyone looked at each other, and could only stand back to back, staring at the enemies approaching from all directions. Ejay slowly stretched his iron arms and whispered: "Lord, you can try to break out of the encirclement first, before Derence arrived. Alex and I dragged these bone racks. As long as you don't fall into Derence's hands, we will not be in danger of life!"
Helen looked up at the sky with countless bone vultures. The only thing she hoped for now was that the skeleton mage was not waiting for her to fall into the trap above, otherwise... almost in an instant, Yijie shouted loudly and rushed towards the closest skeleton warriors - for him, these skeletons were not enough to pose a threat. What was really terrifying was the undead monarch who could appear at any time.
However, in an instant, a low roar suddenly sounded in the jungle. The two sides who were about to fight were slightly stunned and turned their heads behind them. In an instant, the bushes suddenly fell down together, and hundreds of human men jumped out of the dense forest and rushed towards them. After running a few meters, these humans actually began to tear off their clothes and roared loudly on their chests.
Their bodies began to expand rapidly, their skin began to be covered with thick hair, and their facial features began to twist and deform... Within a few seconds, these humans had become orcs incredibly transformed into orcs and rushed to the open space frantically. Dozens of skeleton mages on the periphery had no time to react and were torn to pieces by the surging orcs.
"That's Constantine..." Drizzt thought of the brothel at the first time and blurted out. But his judgment had no meaning at all. These wild orcs did not distinguish between enemies and us at all. They only knew to tear everything in front of them. What's bad is that more orcs were still jumping out of the jungle and attacking here in a steady stream. Within a few minutes, most of the hundreds of skeleton warriors had been destroyed, and the orcs who had nowhere to vent began to turn their targets to Helen and others in the encirclement.
"Bastard, why are there so many?" Alex roared angrily, waved the wooden pillar to knock several orcs away, but more orcs rushed forward one after another, finally knocking him to the ground. Fortunately, the flames and the starry sky showed their true form at this moment. The power of the burning flames and the holographic magic attack of Hydra finally forced the orcs to retreat several meters, but it was only temporarily relieved the crisis.
The real problem is that there are too many orcs, so many that they can't resist them completely. In just less than two minutes, nearly a thousand orcs have already emerged from the depths of the dense forest. They rushed towards everyone with a fearless attitude, fighting for death and leaving a wound on the attacker. This desperate fighting style and huge number finally made the starry sky full of bruises and had to turn back into human form to narrow the target.
Fortunately, Flame and Helen were not damaged by this physical attack. The two of them appeared in the orcs with ease, constantly killing the enemy with flames and undead magic, and successfully blocking the orcs' crazy attack. However, at this moment, dozens of frost spells suddenly shot out from the depths of the dense forest, aiming at Flame and Helen. Without any defense, the flames blocking Helen were hit by dozens of magic together. The flames around them immediately condensed into ice, and his body suddenly shrank by half.
But this is not the end. The blue light suddenly appeared on the towering ancient tree. The beautiful but threatening magic net slowly fell from the canopy. The magic power emitted instantly prevented everyone from moving. Immediately afterwards, the gradually spreading magic net drifted to everyone in the encirclement, covering them all. Even Helen, a ghost, touched the magic net, felt that the magic power was rapidly losing and had no ability to resist at all.
"What is this!" Such a strange magic prop is unheard of for everyone. While Helen blurted out, the hideous orcs suddenly raised their heads and cried out, and their whole bodies fell down in an instant. A few seconds later, the group of orcs who were still rampant just now turned into blood stasis and bones. The indescribable terrible scene made people feel creepy at first sight...
"Don't move around, this magic net has unique magic power. The more we struggle, the faster the magic power will be lost!" After a moment of struggle, Helen, who realized that the situation was wrong, immediately shouted to her companions around her. At this time, Alex and Xingkong were seriously injured. Even if they could rely on the strength of their bodies, they could not last long.
"It's right, so the best way is to surrender. This is the best way to save your life!" A faint laugh rang above, and the man in the black robe had jumped down from the canopy. His figure seemed to be completely uncontrolled by gravity, and fell to the ground gently, without even the dust at all.
In fact, except for the ability to see his strength from his body, everything about this man is full of mystery. His whole body is shrouded in a black robe, his face is wearing a black mask, and his hands are not carrying any weapons. Even his voice seemed to be deliberately concealed, as if he was unwilling to be seen through his true identity.
"It seems that we should know you?" After a slight shock, Helen regained her calmness. She looked at the figure standing in front of her and tried to delay time by taking the opportunity of conversation: "Then what you need, why not tell me what we can discuss."
"No need to work hard, the method of delaying time has no effect on me." The mysterious man laughed a few times and took out a crystal skull from his arms. "Actually, what I want is very simple, I hope to get absolute obedience from the Undead City. Fortunately, as long as you master the loyalty of Helen City Lord, the surrender of Undead City will become very easy, so..."
With his low voice, the crystal skull slowly emitted blue light at this moment and became brighter and brighter. When he looked at the blue light, Helen's eyes suddenly became confused and dull, and the same reaction as her were the skeletons that did not die. Looking at the scene in front of her, the mysterious man finally slighted his head with satisfaction and smiled: "Very good, it seems that the undead contract is as effective as I imagined..."
Because of his opening, Helen finally recovered a little bit of consciousness. She looked at the crystal skull that was close to her and barely took a few steps back, but she was forced to stay helplessly under the constraints of the magic net. The mysterious man sighed softly, holding the crystal skull and continued to approach, and said lightly: "Resistance is meaningless, obeying me will be your only choice. Lord Helen, you don't need to worry, because in a few seconds, you will swear allegiance to me!"
While the word "loyalty" appeared in the air, the blue light on the crystal skull had become bright. The mysterious man was also a little dazed and distracted at this moment, but he quickly recovered from his awakening and gently pushed the crystal skull towards Helen. In an instant, the blue light suddenly became very dazzling and began to gradually seep into Helen's body...
