Super Floating City

The group returned along the same road.

I don't know if something was disturbed in their battle just now, but there is a gloomy atmosphere in the whole underground labyrinth. Especially for Stephen, who was holding the scroll of death, there were wandering spirits who were not afraid of death appearing beside him on the road, as if something had fatally attracted them, making them linger around Stephen constantly. But fortunately, these wandering spirits are incorporeal, because they were frightened by Stephen's power and did not dare to approach them, they just appeared and disappeared from time to time, occasionally whimpering like weeping.

"It always feels weird!" The clairvoyant Akasha whispered, and waved away the wandering souls in front of him.

The wandering spirits in the Mist Continent are very strange.

They are not afraid of people at all!

Unlike other wandering spirits that hide when they see people, on the contrary, they can often be encountered here even in the wild, and some wandering spirits can even appear during the day (cemetery).

inside the camp.

The originally tidy camp was a little messy at the moment. There were wizards from the five-ringed tower in front of them cleaning the battlefield, and the people from the astrologer were setting up new spell traps.

"what happened?"

"Why did the ancients suddenly attack us? Have you tortured us?" Stephen asked with a frown.

In front of him, a wizard from the astrologer leaned over and said, "Your Excellency Stephen. Please follow me. The people in the elemental pool are being tortured."

The captive is kept in a mana prison.

When Stephen came over, the wizard in the element pool had just finished torturing. Inside the cage was a middle-aged woman with gray-blue skin. She looked similar to ordinary humans, but with a hooked nose and deep eye sockets. She was wearing black eyeshadow and her hair was tied. There are many twisted braids, and there are special tattoos on the exposed skin, which looks a little weird, full of fierceness and wildness.

At this moment, the target looked sluggish, and it seemed that he had been played badly. Needless to say, he must have been hit by the spell of mind control.

The goal of wizard torture has always been simple and rude.

Unless it is a person with strong willpower, it is basically useless if it falls into the hands of a wizard. A lot of charm spells and spiritual hints can be used.

"What's going on? Did you find anything?" Stephen walked over and asked.

The leader of the elemental pool wizard saw him and leaned slightly to gesture, and then said: "Your Excellency Stephen."

soon.

The information extracted from the ancient population is known to all.

Things are not as complicated as imagined. They are an ancient tribe living near the desert, and their civilization level is probably similar to that of nomads. The reason why these ancient people attacked them was also very simple, because they were exploring this underground labyrinth. According to the legends of the ancients, their ancestors sealed a terrible demon here. These ancient people were afraid that Stephen and his party would release the demon and cause terrible disasters, so they attacked them and tried to drive the invaders away.

"Devil?" Stephen frowned.

Are there any demons in the underground labyrinth?

He didn't feel any devil's breath, there was only an incomparably rich power of death!

but.

Considering that the civilization of the ancient people has been lost, the devil they talked about may not refer to the real 'demon', it may refer to the evil that was sealed in it.

The purpose of these ancient people was simple.

They wanted to prevent Stephen and his party from continuing to go deep into the underground ruins, but because the strength of the five-ring tower was too strong, their scouts did not find a chance to strike after several investigations. This time, the main force happened to go deep into the ruins. The ancients couldn't sit still when they saw it, so they took the risk to attack their camp.

The strength of these ancient people in front of them is very good!

Their strength, agility, and physique are far superior to ordinary humans, but their intelligence does not seem to be high. They are brutal and aggressive, a bit like savages of primitive tribes.

At the same time they actually fell into shamanism.

All ancient people have tattoos on their bodies. The knowledge inherited by ancient wizards has disappeared. Their belief is actually ancestor spirits, and they believe that the souls of ancestors will continue to protect themselves after death. A small number of ancient people who attacked the camp had the ability to cast spells, but they only compared single spells. These should be talented warlocks, but now they are reduced to shaman priests.

Second-rate spellcasting ability, first-rate hand-to-hand combat ability.

How pathetic!

There were very few casualties on the side of the five-ring tower, on the contrary, the ancients suffered more losses.

The camp has spell traps.

These ancient people suffered a great loss just after the attack, and had no choice but to flee in despair.

the other side.

The wizards of the astrologer were watching the ancient person curiously, and some even suggested an autopsy to see if she was still human. (Note: Proposal rejected.)

Stephen is not very interested in this.

The ancients belonged to a branch of mutants. They were exposed to radiation pollution for a long time, and some mutations occurred in themselves. But because the radiation pollution here is too serious, the proportion of deformed children born in the ancient people should also be very high. The harsh living environment has led to the cruel survival of the fittest. Otherwise, the population of the ancient people would not have remained so after thousands of years. few.

The total population of the tribe that attacked them was only a few thousand.

In other places, a slightly larger town would have so many people. And on this foggy continent, they are already relatively large tribes of ancient people.

The environment of the fog continent is similar to the area after a nuclear explosion.

In such an environment, humans would either become extinct or mutate to adapt to the harsh environment.

But because newborns are too fragile, population reproduction will become extremely difficult, and the chances of babies dying in ancient times should be quite high!

"Your Excellency Stephen!"

"I think we should have a little contact with these ancient people." A high-ranking wizard from the astronomy platform said.

It seems that the people in the astrologer are really curious. Many of them nodded in agreement, as if they were very interested in the mutation of ancient people.

The ancient woman in front of her has the strength close to that of a high-level professional.

Her strength, agility, and speed are all beyond the limits of ordinary people. Using specific statistics to describe her, she has the strength of an orc, the physique of a dwarf, and the agility of an elf. The only difference is that she is slightly inferior in intelligence, which may be similar to that of an orc. . Their race has evolved into a separate human branch, with slight genetic changes in flesh, organs, and bones. Some wizards in the astrologer even proposed to include these ancient people. They are very suitable as followers of wizards. Their combat power is higher than that of fighters selected from ordinary people, and their physical fitness completely crushes ordinary people.

"These ancient people are only suitable for [barbarian] training." Stephen said slowly, seeing that they were in high spirits and it was not easy to hit them.

It is clear.

Ancients had the potential to be berserk, which meant they were not very obedient.

To be honest, they are not very suitable as followers.

The race of shamanism originally advocates [wildness], and it is easy to give birth to berserkers.
