“I didn’t expect that today would be the day I die.¤”
Standing under a huge black rock that looked like a humanoid, looking at the gray clouds rushing towards her, Olivia swallowed the fiery red pill in her hand and closed her eyes.
Beside her, the faces of dozens of mercenaries were filled with despair.
A quarter of an hour ago, Olivia and others were fighting a dozen abyss demons. Unexpectedly, the mountains suddenly shook. Not only were they surrounded by black smoke falling from the basin, but their vision was also distorted and blurred.
.
When their vision returned, they discovered that the originally ferocious and brutal abyss demons were running away as if they had seen a ghost.
Not only them, but in the depths of the silent stone forest, more demons appeared from nowhere and fled crazily. Many demons even passed by people, but they turned a blind eye to them and just ran towards the distance.
.
When many old mercenaries saw this situation, their hearts pounded, and a terrible thought flashed through them.
Cloudy!
Soon, this terrible guess was confirmed.
Although it is in the center of the stone forest and far away from the clouds, when the dark gray mist rises high like a sea tide and dyes half of the sky gray, anyone who is not blind can see it.
Everyone was panicked for a moment.
Originally, the best way was to find a nearby cave to hide and wait until the clouds passed. However, the route they took was lined with stone pillars. The largest ones were hundreds of meters in diameter and towered into the clouds, while the smaller ones were no more than 100 meters tall.
Two or three people hug each other.
These rocks are extremely hard, and there may be cracks and gaps on them that could fit a few mice in. There is a cave that can accommodate dozens of people.
With people's hearts fluctuating, differences immediately appeared in the team.
Some people, led by Hoover, instinctively ran back. After all, the clouds were coming from the front, and running backward could at least prolong the time for the clouds to catch up. If they could run to the crevice in the cliff when they entered the dark basin,
Maybe you can escape a disaster.
Olivia, who was relatively calm, put forward another opinion.
She believes that the stone forest environment is complex and strange, confusing her mind. Along the way, almost every short distance she walks, she needs to stop to identify the direction. Now if she runs back in a hurry, it is easy to get lost. Even if she runs out, she may not be there.
Where you came from.
Instead of doing this, it's better to take a gamble and run sideways.
The area of the clouds can be large or small. The large ones can cover hundreds of kilometers in radius, while the small ones can only cover a few kilometers or even hundreds of meters in radius. If you run sideways, you may be able to escape the path of the clouds.
And when she came, Olivia had seen a huge stone mountain on the route of the Ice Star Team. If you walked from there, you might even hit a cave.
At the same time, Olivia suggested that the captains of each team take out the fire source pills and distribute them to everyone in case of emergency.
Huoyuan Pill is the only elixir for humans to deal with the poisonous clouds of the abyss.
After taking Huoyuan Pills, as long as there is no severe consumption, you can survive for one prayer hour in the clouds. Even if you run and fight fiercely, you can last for ten minutes.
At a critical moment, a Huoyuan Pill may be a life.
No one noticed that at this time, Hoover's eyes flickered and looked uncertain.
And when Olivia and others took out the Huoyuan Pills and were about to distribute them, Hoover suddenly shouted loudly: "Run!"
Everyone was already tensed up, but when the sound came out, they immediately went into chaos.
Some of the mercenaries who lacked courage were like a herd of frightened wild horses. They just ran away regardless of what happened.
"Stop, stop everyone!"
When the captains finally managed to gather everyone together, they discovered that in the chaos, Hoover and his three confidants had already disappeared.
There were eleven people in Hoover's team. Once these four people disappeared, the remaining seven people all became furious.
You must know that Huoyuan Pills are extremely expensive and scarce in quantity, so not everyone can afford them.
Of course, ordinary team members will not spend a lot of money to buy a pill. Only if they are sure to explore the abyss, the mercenary captain will be responsible for purchasing it. This is also the basic condition for him to recruit companions. Otherwise, no one will be willing
Accompany him to the abyss to die.
Of course, since pills are expensive and not every time you enter the abyss, you will encounter clouds, so the Fire Source Pills will be kept by the captain himself.
The fire source pill of Hoover's team is on Hoover's body.
However, no one expected that Hoover would run away with three of his confidants and all the Huoyuan Pills, regardless of the lives of the seven team members he recruited.
Idiots all know that one more Huoyuan Pill means one more chance of survival. But in order to survive, you push your companions around you into hell and behave in such a despicable manner. It is really infuriating to the extreme.
What's even more disgusting is that the chaos created by Hoover in order to escape not only wasted everyone's limited escape time, but also caused the team to deviate from the original route and end up in an unfamiliar territory.
Seeing the dark clouds approaching step by step, Olivia and others had no choice but to run away with their memory and general sense of direction.
Unfortunately, good fortune never comes alone and misfortune never comes alone.
This stone forest is like a maze. Just now, we were walking forward step by step, and we were not lost. But now, under the threat of dark clouds, everyone was restless, panicked, and running so desperately, they suddenly lost their way.
Obviously, everyone kept running sideways based on the direction in which the clouds were coming. But for some unknown reason, they would circle back to where they were before they knew it.
Now, everyone has walked around this stone forest three times. This highly recognizable rock, which looks like a giant, has appeared in front of them for the third time.
Its existence is like a vicious curse, killing everyone's hope again and again.
The hourglass of time has finally dropped its last bead.
In the clearing of the stone forest, dozens of people were silent. Everyone looked ashen.
To the side, dark clouds like huge waves were coming over the sky. Those stone pillars like giant trees gradually turned into shrinking black shadows, and were swallowed up by the ever-expanding gray background. Finally, this piece of gray finally surged out.
It came over and swallowed everyone up silently.
"Ah!" With a shrill scream, the magician of Hoover's team was the first to fall. He did not have a fire source pill, nor was he a knight with a battle ring. Under the erosion of the clouds, his magic shield connected continuously.
It didn't even last a minute, and it was already gone.
The gray clouds corrode the magician's body like poisonous water.
People saw that his skin was like melting snow with big holes spreading out, and white smoke was rising all over his body.
In just a few seconds, he stopped moving. In the end, all his flesh and blood turned into a pool of evaporating blood and melted into the clouds. Only a twisted skeleton was left on the ground.
This tragic scene made everyone's eyes wide open.
"It seems that I have to take the first step." Sieg said.
This scout with outstanding strength and unruly personality was recruited by Hoover with great effort. He is also well-known in the southern mercenary community. But now, he, the dead magician and the other five knights have all been killed by Hoover.
Buddha abandoned it.
Their battle rings are collapsing one after another in the dark clouds. When their fighting spirit is completely exhausted, their death will come.
The mercenaries were filled with grief and anger, and many of them turned their heads away unbearably.
"It doesn't matter, it's because I, Sieg, was blind. It's my own fault." Sieg said calmly.
He turned his head and looked at the other knights who were also abandoned by Hoover. There was a trace of sadness on his face. After a long time, he turned back to Hei Ling and said, "Brother, I want to ask you something."
"Say!" Hei Ling's eyes turned red.
Although they have never cooperated before, Hei Ling has also heard the name of this senior scout who is comparable in strength to himself. In addition, this time, the two of them partnered up as scouts and fought side by side along the way. It can be regarded as a friendship.
"If we are all destined to die here, just pretend I didn't say anything, but if you can survive..." Sieg took a deep breath and gritted his teeth and said: "You must be taken out by what happened today. Tell everyone, let
That son of a bitch is ruined!"
"No!" Surprisingly, Hei Ling shook his head and refused. He looked into Sieg's eyes and said word for word: "If I see him again, I will definitely kill him for you with my own hands!"
As soon as his voice fell, the indignant voices of Olivia, Wood and others rang out all around.
"Count me in!"
"And me!"
With a soft snap, Siege's battle ring collapsed again. At the same time, the battle rings of several other knights also collapsed one after another.
However, no one cared. The six people stood side by side, knelt down on one leg, and performed a solemn knightly salute to everyone.
When they looked up again, the eyes of the six people were already red.
The mercenaries who watched this scene were heartbroken. Olivia covered her mouth with her hands, and several female mercenaries in the crowd could not help crying.
Being a mercenary is a profession where you earn a living with your head above your head. From the day you become a mercenary, everyone is already prepared to die one day.
No one regards their own life as precious.
In this hierarchical world, they are just a group of people wandering outside the mainstream class. This is the price they pay for freedom. They are not noble knights or soldiers. Their lives have no meaning and no glory.
, it’s nothing more than man-made wealth and birds dying for food.
However, they can accept the cruelest death, but they cannot accept such a worthless death under the betrayal and betrayal of their companions.
What's even more sad is that although others have the support of Huoyuanwan, they only live for one more prayer hour. If the clouds fail to pass after one prayer hour, everyone will still die.
On the contrary, a villain like Hoover might survive.
Time passed by minute by second. Only the last two battle rings of Sieg and others were left. A sad atmosphere enveloped the people, and everyone was waiting for the last moment.
At this moment, suddenly, there was a sound from the stone pillar not far away.
Everyone turned to look. The next second, an unexpected figure appeared in front of them.
"Leo!" Olivia stood up suddenly and shouted in shock.
