Chapter 896: Polluted Forest (Part One)
“This... what is going on?”
Fei fell into deep thought after experiencing this.
Although this energy came from the corpse of an undead creature, it was surprising that it didn’t contain any evil power. Instead, it was extremely pure.
After it merged into his body, Fei carefully monitored himself and didn’t feel uncomfortable, and nothing strange happened.
That streak of energy successfully merged with the divine power of the Paladin.
Since Fei was powerful and bold, he dared to try to absorb this energy. If it were anyone else, they would have been scared to death. After all, any energy leaking from undead creatures might be highly contagious, and the people who touched it might be turned into undead creatures themselves.
Fei didn’t tell Cain and Akara of his findings yet. Instead, he continued to wipe out all the undead creatures that were turned from animals.
Perhaps these little zombies were too weak. Although Fei could sense the energies in their corpses, these energies were too minuscule; they were shattered by the wind when they leaked out.
Fei tried to pull some masses of energies over to absorb, but nothing changed or happened.
“Why is this?” action
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIn less than half an hour, all the undead creatures in this town were wiped out with a master like Fei present.
In the end, Fei went to the center of the town and used Paladin Skill – [Cleansing]. The vast holy energy dashed in all directions, completely engulfing the entire town.
Soon, everything that the evil power contaminated was purified.
When the group left, the town had restored its former presence. However, dead people and animals couldn’t be revived.
Unfortunately, the group didn’t get any clues as to what caused this incident.
An unnamed pressure appeared over everyone’s head like a dark cloud. Fei had a feeling that this expedition to the Anji Empire wouldn’t be that easy or simple.
...
After returning to the Xuan’ge, Fei didn’t issue the order to move forward quickly. Instead, he ordered [Black Pearl] and [Cyclops] to glide forward at the minimum speed.
At the same time, the king summoned Undead Mage Hazel Bank who was stationed at Chambord City, asking the latter to quickly come to the Xuan’ge through the long-distance teleportation array on the barge.
Below the Xuan’ge, it was like a sea of green forest.
This was a forest between the Anji Empire and the Dietfurt Empire. Although it wasn’t huge and was smaller than the limitless forests and mountains behind Chambord, a lot of demon beasts lived in it.
When people and merchant caravans wanted to go through it, they had to hire guards and mercenaries to protect them.
Although there weren’t supreme king-level demon beasts in this forest, the chirps of birds and roars of beasts could be heard all the time. But today, the forest was tranquil. Streaks of dark and evil energy surged into the sky, forming many black clouds that weren’t going away anytime soon.
When the Xuan’ge got to this place, Fei ordered the barges to stop moving forward and stay in the sky.
“Such thick dark and evil energy. It is about one-tenth the level of the hell energy at normal places in Diablo World.”
After ordering the Xuan’ge and the soldiers to stay still, Fei dashed down toward the forest with Cain and Akara like a light beam.
...
Chapter 896: Polluted Forest (Part Two)
“This forest is completely polluted. All the demon beasts that were living here were turned into undead creatures...” Cain randomly looked at a few places and concluded; he was too familiar with this evil energy.
“That is right. The evil energy appeared less than half a month ago. However, this little forest has completely fallen. Unless a legendary and majestic Paladin on the level of Griswold appeared and used [Cleansing], the dark and evil energy won’t be dispersed. If I’m not wrong, that town we went to earlier was affected by this forest. The evil energy first corroded this place, and it leaked out and turned all the residents and animals in that town into undead creatures. This is the terrifying power of this dark and evil energy. If it is not contained effectively, it will be spread all over the continent like the seeds of dandelions in the wind,” Akara said seriously, “This forest is now like the headquarters of the dark and evil energy. If it continues to exist, the region with a radius of 500 kilometers will fall into the control of evil in less than a month.”
Fei didn’t say anything; he only carefully observed his surroundings.
The entire forest’s color changed. As if the trees and plants on the ground were frostbitten, even though they didn’t wither completely, they were grey, looking lifeless and chilly as if someone painted them. Also, they appeared broken and rotten.
This forest that represented vitality and energy turned into a wasteland.
For some reason, this scene made Fei reminisce a familiar feeling. However, he couldn’t pinpoint what it was on the spot.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Hiss...” A level 3 Red-Headed Python that was controlled by the evil energy dashed out of a grey bush.
This demon beast was completely turned into an undead creature. Its red head turned blackish-green, and its fine silver scales became black as well. Of course, the most drastic mutation was its size. Its size tripled, just like its strength, and its body was as hard as iron, ultimately losing any sense of pain.
It was controlled by a murderous spirit, and it wanted to destroy everything that it saw.
With its black split-tongue flickering, it pounced toward Fei, Cain, and Akara.
“Holy Bolt!”
Fei killed this mutated python with a flick of a finger, and a streak of energy that others couldn’t see leaked out of this python’s corpse and merged into the king’s hand after he waved.
“What is going on? How did this evil energy appear in this world? Is someone behind all this? Is this a coincidence? What secret is hiding in this forest?”
This forest was filled with savage and mutated demon beasts. After the three people searched for a while, they didn’t discover anything special.
“We must purify this forest! Otherwise, if the evil energy spreads out, all the living beings in the region will be turned into undead creatures. Although Chambord City is hundreds of thousands of kilometers away from here, it will be affected if this situation isn’t controlled. It will become an immeasurable catastrophe if left unattended.”
“First, I need to confirm what the energies that leak out of the corpses of these undead creatures are. What is going on?”
After thinking for a bit, Fei told Cain and Akara about his discoveries about these mystic masses of energies. He asked if they had some findings, but it was clear that they couldn’t sense anything.
“Could it be that these two seniors are from Diablo World so that they couldn’t sense this type of energy?”
This was the only explanation that Fei could come up with right now.
Therefore, he must try to validate it again from another angle.
