Chapter 24 Multiple Peeps
The blood-red flames grew stronger, swallowing up all the torches.
Sparks splashed among the corpses, entangled with each other in mid-air as if in a fight, and finally disappeared into the dust.
Lynch was on high alert, but the abnormality did not disappear.
The skulls hanging from noose that decorated the dome had turned yellow-green.
Lynch thought that there was a necromancer exerting influence in the dark. The clear light of Kotego bloomed, and the yellow-green on the skull gradually faded, but a trace of it still remained.
The yellow-green color exploded into an illusory mist, which enveloped a vibrant world.
Rotten trees can be vaguely seen, hairy flies fluttering among the vines, and all kinds of insects running under the pus-oozing fungi.
A fat, rotten-fleshed, short-limbed Nurgling poked its head out.
It blocked everything, with a ridiculous and terrifying smile hanging on its fat and bacterial-covered face.
The Nurgling shook his head, and his two curved horns swayed playfully.
Then, it was slowly dragged away from the small area reflected by the fog by some force.
Kotego's light compresses the mist, perhaps an unstable passage to the realm of Chaos.
A swollen figure emerged from the dispersing mist, and a fanatical yet numb cry faintly echoed in the hall: "Sevenfold decay! Sevenfold blessing! All things decay! All beings are immortal!"
The three strangers fell into deathly silence at the same time.
The fog that wanted to manifest itself into reality through death was cleared by Kotego's light, but the three visitors from other places remained silent.
The lingering sound of obsession and despair lingered for a long time. It was spoken in Chinese and one could clearly hear the regional characteristics of the north.
Louis' slight cough made Lynch serious. Lynch put the Kotego Scepter on the human's forehead, and the scorching warmth spread throughout Louis' body.
The high temperature killed the bacteria in Louis' body, but it also made his entire body burn red, and there was even a meaty smell wafting from the wound.
Lynch used the same method to eliminate the possible plague for Grimm.
By the time Lynch walked downstairs, quite a few self-isolating lizards had already appeared.
The warriors scattered in clear lines, the terrible plague had already arrived!
Lynch spent half the night making sure that every creature was no longer contagious, and the warriors left this ominous place overnight.
The flames burning in the fortress were the Skinks' last stand against the plague.
But when Lynch saw the blood floating in the flames, his uneasy premonition was magnified to the extreme.
After the warriors left, the flames gathered into a huge eyeball, looking in the direction where Lynch left.
Lynch trudged through the swamp while the dwarf and the human occupied Romon's back.
The two dwarves continued to conspire with humans without Lynch's knowledge.
Although Louis seemed to have fallen asleep, he just kept shaking his head due to the inertia of Roman's actions.
There is a white moon tonight, and the bright moonlight shines on the rainforest.
When the bright moon was about to set, all traces of the undead in the swamp completely disappeared.
Lynch once thought that he had gone in the wrong direction, but the wanderer's slow and firm steps denied this possibility.
The clear water was dotted with the roots of new plants, and one could vaguely see a skeleton pierced by the roots.
It seemed that the power of death here had faded, and there were even herds of spinyback beasts frolicking and hunting in the swamp.
The jungle is still dangerous, but the Lizardmen have adapted to it.
Faced with the vibrant rainforest, Shi Jianke can play a better role.
Various kinds of amphibians are scattered throughout the swamp, and the lizards favored by Ichi, the "Lord of Cold-blooded Beasts", have identified that these creatures have migrated in within the past week.
The brave Skink led his companions close to the herd, and used a large group of sharp-toothed fish to feed a small group of Thornbacks, temporarily taming them.
Lynch looked at the ten spinybacks following the team. They didn't look big, but this was relative to Tyrannosaurus or Troglosaurus.
Among this group of spinybacks, the one leading the group is slightly larger than a van.
They have thick limbs and backs covered with spikes.
These spikes are not just for decoration; the ridgeback can shoot them out through powerful muscle spasms.
The spinybacks are a good supplement to the nomadic herds and also keep the idle skinks busy.
The Skenks need to train them to ensure that the beasts do not recklessly unleash their savagery.
The water level in the swamp is getting shallower and shallower, and abandoned temples can be seen from time to time.
Among the ruins is a bronze drum, which was used by the Lizardmen to offer sacrifices to the ancient saint Ich.
Apart from these deformed drums, there was nothing else of value in the temple, which had been abandoned.
The lizard hunter who was exploring ahead of the team had not returned for a long time. When Lynch was on guard and preparing to lead Thoros to speed up, a subtle sound of breaking through the air came from the front.
Lynch patted Roman, and the sea lizard seemed to understand and rolled up Lynch and charged forward quickly.
The two dwarves and Louis, who was suddenly awakened, had to hold on to Roman's huge dorsal fin to stabilize themselves.
Several raider longships appeared in Lynch's sight. They were stranded and a group of Norsemen were trapped in the ships.
Skink Hunters are engaged in a back-and-forth battle with Marauders who are less familiar with bows and crossbows.
Although the Skink's blowgun darts were accurate, the dragonship's tilted hull protected the plunderers from the poisonous needles.
Reckless pirates cannot attack the Skinks roaming the swamps.
The arrival of Lynch and others completely ended the battle. The pirate leader was beheaded by Lynch with his scepter, and his brains splattered in the swamp water.
The dwarves didn't even have time to draw their axes before the humans screamed and fled in all directions, being felled one by one by the Skinks' blowgun darts.
It seems that they are not pure Norscans. The real northern barbarians are extremely wild.
The prisoners were gathered together, and by the time the main force arrived, the Skinks had already simply cleaned up an Ichi temple nearby.
A bronze drum engraved with complex symbols was placed on the altar, and the Skink Chieftain reverently struck the forgotten drum.
The distant sound spread throughout the rainforest, and the sacrifices gradually recovered from the paralyzing poison, but they still had no strength to move.
The sound of the drums seemed to have an invisible magic. Many animals gathered together and began the bloody and sacred ceremony under the desperate gaze of the sacrifice.
The sacrificer is positioned in an area where the beasts will not be disturbed from feeding, and the Skinks sing praises to the ancient Saint Ich.
The dwarves watched with interest, while Louis closed his eyes and prayed, just like Roman who turned his head away and refused to look closely.
A huge ancient fire lizard slowly crawled from the end of Lynch's sight, but this was just the beginning.
Ripples appeared on the water surface, as if some huge creature was approaching.
Lynch looked at the trees that kept falling in the distance. It seemed like they would never go around.
But a giant tree tens of meters tall successfully stopped it.
The bulldozer-like monster gradually approached, and the water waves pushed away by brute force continued to ripple in front of Lynch.
