Chapter 283

In the subsequent conversation with Keira and others, Geralt learned that the sorcerers who came to participate in this bounty were not just Sabrina, Sheala, and Yennefer in front of him, and not just sorceresses. Just currently, there were more than thirty people present, and many participants were arriving one after another from all over the North.

This doesn't count the helpers, mercenaries, and even armies they brought. The competition this time will obviously be quite fierce.

After these sorcerers and their helpers sweep through the mist, the monster problem in the Kaedwen kingdom will definitely be greatly alleviated.

And what the Supreme Council paid was just a title of reserve councilor, and they could also get a powerful reserve tool man. I don't know whose idea this was; it really kills many birds with one stone.

Because Geralt still had to wait a day or two to arrive, and Yennefer and the others' purpose was not to compete for the final reward, Geralt and others did not wait for them. After handling the corresponding procedures, they directly entered the mist.

Speaking of which, these mists from the Diablo world are also very magical. They seem not to be naturally formed climate phenomena, but special changes that occurred after the magic power of another world came to the Wizard World.

After Geralt and others entered the mist, their vision was immediately hindered, but strangely, they all maintained a field of vision of about one hundred meters. Objects within this range were very clearly visible, almost without any influence.

However, once the line of sight exceeded one hundred meters, what they saw was a thick fog that covered the sky and the sun. Except for the occasional light that could pass through, they couldn't see things in the distance at all, only blurry shadows.

"According to the research of our Sorcerers Brotherhood, when people are outside the mist, they cannot see the inside of the mist, and even the sound will be affected."

"And these mists cover a height of about fifty meters from the ground. Being in this range, the transmission of chaos magic is seriously affected, and clairvoyance and communication magic cannot be used normally."

"So the method of relying on air superiority to quickly search for intelligence is not feasible."

"Many long-distance magic spells cannot be used, and can only rely on manpower to explore the situation here little by little."

Margarita's expression was slightly excited. She explained the situation currently collected by the Sorcerers Brotherhood. Obviously, the idea of wanting to study these monsters from another world, which she said to the gatekeeper sorcerer, was not made up.

She carefully observed the changes that occurred in the wilderness after being shrouded in thick fog, and then said with a slightly warning tone:

"Also, Geralt, you and your witcher companions must also pay attention."

"According to the intelligence we obtained, these mists from another world themselves contain some kind of power from another world. Those monsters that have lived in our local area for thousands of years seem to have also undergone some mutations because of these powers."

"You can no longer use the original knowledge to apply to those monsters."

"They may have evolved special powers, and even their forms have changed."

Geralt frowned upon hearing this, looked at Letho and others, and raised his vigilance in his heart.

Didn't expect that the monsters in the Wizard World would also be affected by the regional power of the Diablo world. This will cause errors in the monster intelligence collected by witchers.

However, the problem is not big. Whether it is Geralt or Letho and others, they can already be counted as elite witchers, and their own strength is there. Even if these monsters have mutated, they cannot be the opponents of their group.

He discussed the action plan with several others, and then formed a formation similar to a quadrilateral. The three from the Viper School were responsible for the left and right wings and the rear, the sorceresses were protected in the center, responsible for fire support, and he himself took the lead, opening the way for everyone in front.

After all, in Geralt's view, among the six people present, his strength is the strongest, and his trump cards are the most, so he should stand in the most dangerous place.

Regarding his decision, others did not object, and soon began to explore along the direction of the small town destroyed by the undead monster in the last intelligence. The density of monsters in the mist obviously exceeded everyone's expectations.

Geralt and others left the small town and entered the mist for less than ten minutes before encountering the first wave of monsters.

This was a group of corpses composed of about a hundred corpses, moving slowly, making twisted screams like evil ghosts in their mouths, while waving the weapons in their hands, while surrounding the few people.

From their clothing, most of them were civilians in ragged clothes, and there were also some soldiers and armed elements.

And what surprised Geralt and others was that among this group of moving corpses, there were also some skeletons whose bodies had rotted almost completely, leaving almost only bones.

This also means that the monsters from another world resurrected not only the civilians they had just killed, they even resurrected the corpses in those cemeteries. If they wait until they can resurrect skeletons at will, one can imagine that the number of these monsters will definitely expand rapidly.

After all, the corpses buried underground may be much more than the living people living in the world.

However, these are just Geralt's guesses, which have not been confirmed. He just hopes that things will not be as bad as he imagined.

But these surrounding walking corpses held various weapons, a mixed bag, rusty, with kitchen knives, hoes, pitchforks, and even some corpses only held wooden sticks and stones in their hands, obviously just a group of rabble.

Geralt, who was walking at the forefront of the team, had the best eyes. He immediately discovered that among this group of walking corpses, there were some monsters moving very agilely, similar in size to nekkers, and only half the height of ordinary people, moving back and forth.

Their appearance is similar to little devils in hell, with thin bodies, horns on their heads, ugly faces, skin generally dark red, and what they wear are some broken copper and iron, and decorations strung together with various bones.

After seeing these two types of monsters, Geralt's memory of farming in the Diablo world game told him that these should be zombies and fallen ones.

This is one of the classic monsters in the game. The former has thick skin and slow movement, while the latter's movements are very flexible, just like little thieves.

After seeing these monsters, Geralt did not hesitate, immediately turned his head and shouted to Keira and others: "There are monsters, battle formation."

And then took the lead, took out the Oath of Victory Sword from the space bracelet, and rushed towards that group of zombies.

His speed was very fast, even if he didn't use his full strength at all, it only took a few seconds to rush to the front of the corpse group.

After approaching these monsters, the two-handed greatsword in Geralt's hand directly made a horizontal slash, cutting the zombie rushing at the front into two sections at the waist.

However, after cutting off a zombie with one sword, his eyebrows frowned.

Because he noticed that the zombies in front of him seemed to have all been frozen in a refrigerator, the hardness of the body was very different from ordinary flesh, looking like cutting into a piece of wood.

Although with his strength, it was easy to cut these zombies into minced meat, for other witchers and those ordinary mercenaries, wanting to cut the flesh of these zombies, the difficulty undoubtedly increased by a level.
