Lord of Rot

Chapter 289 Disaster of Mercenaries (Page 12)

Li Qi quickly came to the city wall and looked down. The five mercenaries were all covered in blood and looked in very miserable condition.

"Aren't they with Baron Rose's army?"

One of them, Li Qi, was quite impressive.

The other party had questioned himself yesterday if he really wanted to prevent the mercenaries from plundering for three days. Unexpectedly, just one night later, he changed from a perpetrator eager to inflict violence on others to a pitiful helper.

"Sir!" The mercenaries saw Li Qi and shouted loudly: "Sir! Open the city gate and let us in!"

Li Qi lowered his head and asked loudly: "What did you encounter? Where are Mr. Taylor Ross and the others?"

"We encountered a group of dead people last night," the mercenary shouted, "and then got separated from the team. When we rushed back to the camp, the legion had already set off."

Li Qi had no intention of opening the city gate: "As long as you keep going west, you might be able to get out before dark."

One of the mercenaries shouted: "Sir, there are things that have risen from the dead outside. We can't escape. Let us go in. We will be dead if we return to the woods now!"

"Both?"

Li Qi looked into the distance, trying his best to capture with his eagle eyes, but found nothing unusual.

Maybe the group of dead people sensed that there were many living people here and didn't approach without permission, or maybe they were good at disguise. Either way, it's not good news.

The expressions of the five people outside the city gate did not seem to be fake, but the strange feeling in Li Qi's heart warned him that now was not the time to open the city gate.

It was already dark last night and no birds were caught. Today, I must catch a few more birds to make them into corpse birds and control them to go out to investigate the situation. Otherwise, just listening to the people around me talking about the resurrection of the dead made Li Qi feel a little nervous.

"Ah!" Just when Li Qi was debating whether to open the door, one of the mercenaries who seemed to be the most seriously injured suddenly started screaming, scratching his arms and chest with his hands.

"what happened to you?"

Another mercenary jumped on him, trying to catch him, and shouted to the others: "Quick, come help!"

Three people held down the mercenary, and the last one shouted to Li Qi: "Sir, we need pharmacist treatment! We need to rest!"

"Hiss, he has thorns on his body!" A mercenary who rushed to hold the man down suddenly backed away and shouted in pain.

"Is there a thorn?" Li Qi was shocked: "It can't be such a coincidence, right?"

In the chaotic memory of the Black King, he also saw the female corpse scratching the Black King with its long thorns.

Without one person to hold him down, the mercenary struggled more and more, and finally the other two couldn't help but retreat, as if they were also stabbed.

The mercenaries exposed to Li Qi's eyes screamed.

The scratching part of its body surface was torn, and vines grew out. One part of the vines was cut into the flesh, and the other part was twisting in the air.

"It really has a thorn!"

"Help, help, open the door!" The mercenaries below were knocking on the city door frantically, but all these changes happened too quickly.

Li Qi didn't know how to help, but one thing was certain, he must not open the city gate, otherwise his own people would die.

The mercenary covered in thorns rushed towards his companion, and the vines strangled his neck.

Li Qi on the battlement even saw the vines covered with iron thorns stabbing into the eyes of the mercenary, scraping out a piece of blood. After the initial twitching, the stabbed mercenary's body became motionless and limp. in the end.

The vine was pulled out of the eye socket, and the broken eyeball hung on the vine thorn, dripping with blood.

Whether it was an illusion or not, Li Qi looked into the eyes of the dead mercenary and felt that his eye sockets were getting bigger.

Another mercenary drew his sword.

"Ah!" He roared and thrust his sword forward, successfully piercing the vine mercenary's chest.

The vine mercenary turned his head calmly.

The vines wrapped around his body pricked the sneak attack mercenary, causing him to moan in pain, and then the vine mercenary bit and gnawed away his screams.

There was a complete massacre below, and Li Qi witnessed four mercenaries being killed one by one by the mercenaries wrapped in vines.

The fatal injuries of human beings are all decorations for it.

"My Lord" Lacey Sith looked at the scene under the city wall nervously, picked up the bow, and only waited for Li Qi's order to kill the monsters below.

Even an extraordinary person's body is frightened when he sees such a monster.

"Don't worry!" He signaled to his men to be calm.

Now is a good opportunity to study the resurrection of the dead. You must not shoot directly.

"Is it because the Black King fed his wife a flower? That caused the entire Iron Valley to become like this?"

I have too little information, so I can only rely on random thoughts.

The battle is over, and only the vine mercenary is left alive.

The scuffle just now cut off one of his arms and one of his legs, but he seemed to be in good condition, and there wasn't even a lot of bleeding from the severed parts, as if the blood had dried up.

Li Qi waited for a while and found that the vine mercenary who killed four mercenaries did not leave, nor did he continue to eat the corpses of his former companions. Instead, he stood at the door quietly in a daze.

"It doesn't kill to fill its stomach or appetite, so why does it kill?" Li Qi felt very strange. The actions of the vine mercenaries below seemed to satisfy some kind of instinct and desire, but their actions were inconsistent with instinctive needs. Not relevant.

"And it was still standing at the gate of the castle, as if there was something in the castle that attracted it."

His previous behavior could be summarized as "zombie", but now that he didn't leave after killing people, but faced the castle, Li Qi was a little confused.

"Send someone to keep an eye on it," Li Qi said to Lacey: "Notify me immediately if there are any changes below."

"Yes, my lord!"

Li Qi left the city wall and took away a bow and a few arrows.

He came to a large clearing in the castle.

It's already March, and the temperature has already begun to warm up in the Iron Valley, where traces of flying birds are also appearing one after another.

The left hand holds the bow, and the right hand draws an arrow to aim.

Take a moment to aim, set up the bow and draw the string.

let go!

Poof, there was a burst of air.

The arrow seemed to have eyes, and flew out suddenly, and pierced the bird in an instant, pinning it to the ground, after struggling a few times, the bird stopped moving.

Li Qi's archery skills are not bad, but they are not as outstanding as his swordsmanship, throwing, riding, fighting and other skills.

Relying on this method, Li Qi quickly collected 5 birds, and asked the necromancer Ayame to take the bird corpses back to fill them with gold and refine the corpses. Tonight, 5 dead birds will come out of the coffin. He explored the entire Iron Valley.

"Sir!" A soldier ran over, breathing heavily because he was running too fast.

"What's wrong?" Li Qi said, "I'm so panicked. Did I encounter something?"

The soldier nodded: "Those people under the city wall are all alive! They are alive!"

"what!"
