Chapter 1248: Infiltrating the Enemy
Xisike Plain, the largest plain in the Necromancer Empire, rich in resources, with three wetlands and two forests inside, and countless varieties of flora and fauna.
The massive Necromancer army marched on the Xisike Plain. Their formation was not a marching formation, but stretched out in a horizontal line, sweeping across the plain in a flat-push posture.
The Necromancer army would check or dig up water puddles, suspicious caves, etc., on the plain to ensure that a certain person was not hiding in these locations.
At the rear of the team, several hundred wounded soldiers followed the main force. Their lightest injuries were severed hands or feet; some even had their throats slashed, surviving by luck due to their tenacious vitality.
These wounded soldiers had more or less fear in their eyes. Perhaps whenever the night was deep and quiet, they would wake up from nightmares, and that human holding a long blade, covered in blood, was the source of terror in their nightmares.
The six-hundred-thousand-strong Necromancer army had already surrounded the Xisike Plain, yet even so, they still could not find Su Xiao's trail. It wasn't that Su Xiao's concealment ability was that strong, but that this plain was simply too large.
Su Xiao had been surrounded and suppressed by the Necromancer army for over five hours. During these five hours, Su Xiao occasionally encountered the Necromancer army, but fortunately, he would break through toward the center of the Xisike Plain every time.
The Dark Moon Swamp was right at the edge of the Xisike Plain, so Su Xiao was already very close to it. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Amu had not yet found the specific location of the Law-Extinguishing Shadow ruins, so Su Xiao could only use the terrain of the Xisike Plain to drag out the Necromancer army.
Inside a dense forest, withered leaves were rolled up by the forest wind, revealing a pitch-black hole...
Inside the hole, Su Xiao, covered in blood, sat on the ground. He held a roll of bandage in his hand, wrapping it around the hilt of Zhan Long Shan; this could provide an anti-slip effect, as if he killed too many enemies, blood would inevitably splatter onto the hilt.
At this moment, Su Xiao was shirtless, his body covered in dried blood and mud. Compared to survival, taking a bath was not a necessary thing; most water sources around the Xisike Plain were guarded by the Necromancer race.
"Hoo."
A beast's grunt came from beside Su Xiao. The hole Su Xiao was in was the lair of a White-Bellied Bear. At this moment, this "fierce" White-Bellied Bear was leaning against the depths of the hole, not even daring to breathe loudly.
Su Xiao's dinner today was originally raw bear gall, but this bear was very cooperative, so he changed the menu temporarily.
Su Xiao took out some dried meat and put it into his mouth to chew. The White-Bellied Bear in the hole licked its nose.
Su Xiao gnawed a few mouthfuls of dried meat; the texture of this thing was really not great, so he threw the dried meat toward the bear in the hole.
This was his seventeenth hiding spot. Half a kilometer from this hiding spot, there were several piles of Necromancer corpses.
Su Xiao was waiting, waiting for Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Amu to find the Law-Extinguishing Shadow ruins. Once the ruins were found, he would find a way to escape from the encirclement of the Necromancer army. As for how to escape, he had already planned it.
Just as Su Xiao was preparing to take a short nap, faint footsteps came from outside the hole. Su Xiao's eyes opened, and he slowly sat up. The White-Bellied Bear to the side also heard the sound, but after Su Xiao glanced at it, the bear sat bolt upright like a student who had made a mistake.
Su Xiao walked slowly toward the outside of the hole. A few seconds later, a short, sharp scream came from outside. Not long after, Su Xiao dragged a Necromancer soldier's corpse back into the hole.
For the next half hour, no suspicious sounds appeared around. This time, Su Xiao was finally able to take a short nap.
Dark Moon Swamp, the swamp area below the Dark Moon Vine.
*Gurgle. *
A string of bubbles surged from the mud water. The mud water rose, and a dog head covered in mud emerged. Those big, watery eyes were particularly striking.
*Gurgle~*
Another string of bubbles, this time a cow head emerged. The cow head was clearly a bit confused, but the mud water around it was freezing at a slow speed.
This combination of a dog and a cow was, of course, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Amu. They did not live up to Su Xiao's high expectations; two hours ago, they had already found the approximate location of the Law-Extinguishing Shadow ruins.
Just finding the approximate location was clearly not enough; Su Xiao needed the precise location, so Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang prepared to go to the Necromancer city above the Dark Moon Vine to steal a map.
This was the capital of the Necromancer race, so the defense level was imaginable, but this could not stump Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang. What it cared about was whether it could find a map recording the detailed location of the ruins.
The mud-covered Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang climbed onto the vine. It shook the fur on its body, and a moment later, it merged into the surrounding environment.
After seeing this scene, Amu in the mud water sank its body. A string of bubbles surged, and Amu sank into the mud water, revealing only the tips of its horns.
Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang was held in high expectations by Su Xiao, so it could only succeed and not fail.
Inside the bear hole, Su Xiao, who had taken a short nap, opened his eyes. His right arm was still sore; this was the sequela of using Ring Break multiple times, and he needed to rest for at least a few days.
Su Xiao was awakened by footsteps. A large number of footsteps were approaching his location, and from time to time, he could hear digging sounds. The Necromancer race was digging three feet into the ground to find Su Xiao. The hatred between the two sides was no longer as simple as Qidi's death; the number of Necromancer soldiers who died in Su Xiao's hands was definitely a huge number.
Interests create contradictions, contradictions create hatred, and hatred turns into deadly enmity; this was the relationship between Su Xiao and the Necromancer race now.
Just as the surrounding footsteps were getting closer, Su Xiao received a message from Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang sent a strategic-level map to the adventure group channel.
There was also good news: Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang had successfully infiltrated the enemy, and was now in the Necromancer race's base camp, ambushing at a very important location.
As for Amu, this honest cow had been soaking in the swamp below the city for a long time, almost turning into a water buffalo.
Su Xiao sent a message to Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, signaling Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang to maintain the environment-merging state and stay in place to wait for orders.
According to Su Xiao's estimation, as long as he could enter the Law-Extinguishing Shadow ruins, he would not be far from leaving this world.
The sounds outside the bear hole were getting closer. Su Xiao crouched in the bear hole, holding his long blade.
Five minutes later, a Necromancer soldier walked into the bear hole. After seeing Su Xiao in the bear hole, he immediately wanted to roar out loud.
Su Xiao pulled with his left arm, and the Boundary Line already laid out in the bear hole tightened, strangling the Necromancer soldier's neck.
The Necromancer soldier, who had not yet let out a roar, was pulled over by Su Xiao. He thrust his long blade forward, piercing into the Necromancer soldier's jaw, the tip of the blade protruding from the crown of the head.
The Necromancer soldier's body went limp, and he fell to the ground with a *thud*.
At the same time the Necromancer soldier fell, Su Xiao kicked the White-Bellied Bear. The White-Bellied Bear let out a low growl, very innocent; today was the day its bear life had the least dignity.
The White-Bellied Bear's low growl reached outside the hole. The dozens of Necromancer soldiers outside looked at each other; their thought was that there would be an extra meal tonight.
A moment later, a Necromancer soldier with a ragged gait walked out of the bear hole. This strange gait immediately aroused the vigilance of the other Necromancer soldiers.
Ring Break.
The ring-shaped blade light expanded. Before the dozens of Necromancer soldiers in front of the bear hole could react to what was happening, they felt a chill in their chests.
