Chapter 494 Death Wizard
After entering the forest for only half an hour, Frederick felt the difference of the Northland forest.

An all-round cold feeling made him feel that his body and soul were being soaked in cold water, and he couldn't help but shudder.

After confirming that the other party mixed poisonous mushrooms with edible mushrooms, Frederick decided to inform the other party, so he formed a team of six people including Jin Li and rode along the newly opened road in a car pulled by a big-antlered deer. Head deep into the forest.

The forest is full of tall pine trees. All the needles and pine cones on the branches have fallen off. A thick layer of pine needles has fallen on the ground. From time to time, small animals are looking for pine nuts among the fallen leaves.

The north and south directions are easy to distinguish here. The tree trunks in the south are covered with moss, while the north side is bare, with occasional naturally dried mushrooms.

It was quiet along the way, except for the occasional call of a grouse.

Lu Li was driving the car and listened from time to time.

After arriving for about two hours, she said to Frederick: "I advise you to prepare for the worst."

Frederick thought in his mind that he would not be able to catch up, but he still asked curiously: "Why?"

Lu Li replied: "Usually there should be crows in the forest, but I haven't heard them for so long, so they are obviously gone."

Frederick asked again: "Is it possible that everyone has gone south in winter?"

"No." Lu Li shook her head, "They will stay in the forest even if it snows."

"It's very possible that all the people deep in the forest are dead and they were attracted by the smell."

Frederick's heart sank. It was indeed possible that when he divided the whale, it attracted many crows from the distant mountains and forests, and he even roasted two of them.

Lu Li continued: "In the past, the cry of our big-horned deer would attract wolves or bears, but now there is no movement at all. They may also follow the body odor of the corpse."

"It must be a lot to be able to bring so many animals."

Frederick nodded slightly, and let fate do its best.

Jin Li, who was sitting next to him, said to him: "It's very dangerous in the forest. If you are a little negligent, you will lose your life."

Frederick nodded.

Lu Li continued: "It's not just mushrooms. Some meats can also cause problems if they are eaten undercooked."

"I once saw a bear whose stomach was full of worms because it ate fish with worms. The worms came out of its butt and were dragged longer than the carriage. In the end, it walked around the tree several times before tearing them all out."

Frederick didn't dare to think what that picture would look like.

Bree also said: "People can also get such bugs. Fortunately, in the past few years, you have developed capsules for expelling bugs. Basically, patients can be treated in time."

The cart pulled by the big-horned deer does not move very fast, which is comparable to a normal human walking. However, it has good endurance when walking on the forest path. It can walk for four or five hours continuously without any problem.

Frederick chatted with the girls, mainly about how to survive in the forest.

From time to time, he took out the compass and looked at it. The direction of the pointer was quite different from the direction of the growth of moss on the trees. As he walked, the pointer would turn a little by itself, and he could conclude that there was an iron ore vein nearby.

Suddenly, Lu Li stopped the car and signaled that there was something going on ahead.

The group of people got out of the car and came to the front of the car, and found messy footprints on the path.

These footprints are very strange, some are from humans, some are from beasts, some look normal, and some are bones stepped directly on the ground.

Frederick had not seen such a thing, but had heard of it.

In the history of the development of magic, Friedrich von Wesson is a name worthy of being recorded in history. It was not that he developed any magic theory that changed the world, but that he single-handedly led the development direction of the necromancer, making They walked from the gloomy cemetery into the bright food processing factory. In the large slaughterhouse of the Principality of Wesson, the pigs were bled and then walked to the rack and entered the cutting assembly line.

Necromantic magic, which has been spread privately for thousands of years, opened its own professional magic academy for the first time in Oak City. The location of the academy is just across the street from the seminary of the Church of Light.

One impact of this is that necromancers often contribute some short stories in newspapers and magazines to earn royalties. Among them, there is mention of the "Army of the Undead" and the "Army of the Undead" of the necromancers, and an important distinction is mentioned. Features - Footprints.

The dead people and animals controlled by the Necromancer have a characteristic. When walking, their strides are shorter than those of living animals, and sometimes they drag the ground.

The necromancer manipulates skeletons, and the footprints on the ground are directly in the shape of bones, making them easier to distinguish.

Judging from the footprints on the ground, a short time ago an army of undead and undead came out of the nearby forest and walked forward along the path.

Jin Li and others murmured for a long time, and finally came up with a guess.

"Gray Crow?" Frederick asked with a question mark on his head, "Who is he?"

Jin Li replied: "The Gray Crow is a death wizard inheritance with a history of one or two hundred years in the north. It has not appeared in the past twenty years. It may be that a new generation of inheritors has appeared."

Frederick asked again: "How is the reputation of this inherited wizard?"

Jin Li replied: "They can't be said to be good or evil. They do whatever they want. Sometimes they exchange some supplies with hunters, and sometimes they sit back and watch the hunters being killed, and then seize the hunters' bodies."

Frederick decided to go on and see what was going on.

The group walked for more than ten kilometers and found a sentry tower ahead. There was no one inside. However, more than ten meters away, they found a corpse that had been eaten by animals with only bones left. It was covered with fist-sized white bones. Lyme.

After surveying the scene, Jin Li said to Frederick: "He was poisoned to death after eating poisonous mushrooms."

She showed Frederick the bowl she found in the watchtower, which contained a bit of stewed beans and half a mushroom.

Heli took one look at the mushroom and said, "Eating this kind of mushroom will cause scary hallucinations, the heart will beat very fast, and eventually you will die."

Bree continued: "If you use this mushroom to make wine, dilute it in water and drink only a little bit, it can be used as a cardiac tonic. If you eat so much, it will definitely be fatal."

Frederick sighed. This kind of stew is cooked in a large pot at a time and shared by many people. Even if the sentry here died, no one collected the body. It seemed that the main camp was in danger.

This place is not far from the main camp. Not long after walking, a strong smell of blood wafted from the front.

Jin Li stopped the car, and she and Heli went to see the situation, and Frederick followed.

The main camp ahead is built next to a large lake that is one or two kilometers away. All the trees in a large circle around it have been cut down. It is not small in scale, and it is not a problem to station hundreds of people.

The gate of the camp was open, and there were more than a dozen corpses outside the door. Like the corpses in the sentry tower, they had all been eaten by animals.

There are many controlled dead people and dead beasts near the gate of the camp. Among the dead are men, women, old and young, and there are also many beast skeletons with dark magic muscles attached to their bodies.

Among them is an ancient deer-drawn carriage, with a large wooden cage mounted on the carriage, which seems to contain a person.

There were many freshly killed beasts around, probably attracted by the smell of corpses, and the smell of blood came from them.

A man wearing black bear skin was using necromancy magic to control them to stand up, and was cursing.

Heli gently tugged on Jin Li's clothes and motioned her to look to the other side.

Jin Li's eyes suddenly widened with anger. Among the dead was a Natural Church monk wearing a crown of thorns.
