The fisherman druid is in another world

Chapter 386 Blood Demon Cub
The Igneous Basin is indeed a mess.

There were actually people committing robbery in broad daylight at the city gate.

Doesn't this mean that the town was used as a fishing ground for robbers?

It's only a few dozen meters away from the city gate, and there are city guards watching on the city and outside the city. This is really interesting.

Faust admits that although his appearance is rather deceptive, he is always associated with weakness.

But if you want to make it in the world, besides having sharp eyes, you also need to have at least the ability to think in reverse, right?

For someone like him to be able to travel alone, it can't be because of his cooking skills and "Love and Peace", right?

He was a robber all the way, so he could have been a private chef this year. He would have died of old age before he got here!

"If you are not smart, you shouldn't do such risky business that relies on your appearance, really!"

Faust rolled his eyes and raised his hand, and a cloud of blood mist exploded from the leader's body, and then the blood mist seemed to be alive and entered Faust's body.

The second person was stunned and followed his companion.

The third person turned around and tried to run, but as soon as he took a step, blood exploded and he turned into a mummy.

"Return the darkness." Black mist burst out from Faust and flew towards the three mummies. The shriveled corpses became plump like balloons, and then stood up, brushing off the dust on their bodies. Their eyes were shining green and oily, and they looked like hungry wolves staring at them.

A dozen meters away, on the roadside closer to the city gate, someone reached out and pulled the brim of his hat, then walked away quickly.

Faust stretched out his hand and sent out a twisted scarlet lightning, which connected with the man's outstretched hand. His hand shook and the other person was pulled in front of him.

"Did I let you go?"

The opponent became furious and swung his arm to create a phantom. The tip of the arm not only had the cold light of a dagger, but was also enchanted with extraordinary energy.

However, Faust only moved his fingers slightly, and the still connected scarlet lightning bounced the opponent away, causing his fierce attack to miss.

Before there was any new movement, the lightning pulled it up high and then dropped it heavily, "Snap!"

Pull it up again, and it will fall! Pull it up again, and it will fall...'Pah, pah, pah!' It fell into a pool of mud.

"Well, it reminds me of the exploding and peeing beef balls that the teacher taught me..."

Faust sighed, then raised his chin towards the three corpse puppets: "Huhu!"

This is an onomatopoeia, often used to call a dog. It means to feed.

The three-headed corpse puppet howled, and then, wrapped in black smoke, it rushed towards the town at full speed, like a ghost burning in the smoke.

There were still people near the city gate, on the road, and on the city walls, but they were all as quiet as cicadas. Not to mention moving, they even held their breath.

Faust walked over at a normal speed. "What are you all doing here? Are you planning to rob me too?"

"No, no, I dare not! I dare not!"

"Oh, so you don't dare. It seems you have thought about it."

"Bang!" He died in the blood mist. Darkness returned and gained the power of darkness. He turned into a corpse puppet and entered the city to kill his fellow creatures.

The real pedestrians nearby obviously didn't realize that the man pretending to be timid and pitiful was actually a member of the robbery gang, and he was shot because his acting failed.

These passers-by thought that Faust was a demon who killed people at will. One of them was so scared that he peed while standing there.

Faust curled his lips and said, "It's not easy for someone like you to go out and make a living."

As he spoke, he walked into the city, and in the distance, long, shrill howls began to sound...

Faust has no intention of getting deeply involved or purifying the city, but is just staging a drama of a dragon crossing the river, and whoever stands in the way will die.

The corpse puppets would kill all their former accomplices upon smelling the scent. They would make a list based on their memory, and their killing methods were simple and effective. They were like monsters driven by the will of revenge, and when all the existences on the list were wiped out, they would dissipate contentedly.

If not, then those who provide direct protection to the target and get in their way will be in trouble. There is a recognition mechanism here, which is not particularly intelligent. Therefore, they are not killing innocent people indiscriminately, but they are not messengers of justice, but dangerous assassins.

Faust bought some supplies in the town, mainly specialty ingredients, and also some ready-made food. He is a chef and a foodie, and he is willing to try any local snacks he encounters.

If he is not so busy, he will spend more time shopping around and try all the local specialties, whether it is snacks or meals.

But now that I have a task, I'll just make do with it, eat whatever I come across, and stock up a little extra if something tastes good, just going with the flow.

No one bothered Faust while he was in the town.

This actually reflects the serious chaos in the igneous basin today.

In this era of feudal states, generally speaking, a town must have a city lord. It may not be a lord appointed by the king, but it may be a certain organization or a certain merchant group...

The dark order is also an order, just like there are rules within the bandit camp.

Throughout history, the most chaotic and turbulent dark periods of human civilization were not characterized by exceptional corruption of rulers, but by the changing flags on the city walls.

Without order, production and life cannot proceed.

Without a city lord, there is no one or any force that can represent the town and connect with the outside world. The various forces in the town will take advantage of the situation and hide from the problems. The city IP will gradually be destroyed and become a stagnant pool. Unable to survive, they will flee in all directions.

Faust had seen people robbing while the city guards were just watching the show, so he knew that the place was so chaotic that there was no strong person to suppress it, and the various forces basically did not have the least tacit understanding to operate together, and they all had the mentality of wanting to fleece the townspeople.

Sure enough, when something goes wrong, they just sit on the sidelines and watch, hoping that their competitors will be killed by external forces so that they can pick up the corpses and eat the whole family.

Little did they know that passers-by like Faust were a minority after all. When ordinary outside forces saw this situation, they would just temporarily stop and rest, and carry out a destructive attack, causing the town to fall into ruin even faster.

Such internal strife, which goes to the point of sacrificing the ancestral heritage and allowing outsiders to benefit, is in itself the most direct proof of the lack of basic rules.

It was no wonder that refugees from the Fire Rock Basin were everywhere, and they all ran to the safe zone designated by the White Wolf Army to build refugee camps. It was ironic that they could manage themselves and be so well organized.

Faust traveled through cities and towns for five days and finally arrived at the lava barrier just north of the igneous basin.

This place was once a landmark project that highlighted the people of the Igneous Basin, and it was also practical.

There was no road here originally, but people managed to open up a road. This road includes two parts, the surface and underground, and is further subdivided into canyon roads, mountain tunnels, riverbed roads, winding mountain roads... In short, they managed to open up a road among the mountains and enter the Ash Plains where the Great Flame Mountain is located.

The Ash Plains are different from the Ash Mountains that border the Dark Forest to the west.

The Ash Mountains took shape over a relatively short period of time and were unnatural. Originally, the area was called the Misty Mountains, but the name was later coined based on its new features.

The Ash Plains have been formed for thousands of years.

The people of the Igneous Basin opened a road there because there are many resources that are produced by volcanic eruptions. Not to mention sulfur, there are mainly gems, gold, flame crystals and other items that can only be produced by high temperature and pressure deep underground.

The most famous story is about an adventurer who picked up a large gemstone. The gemstone eventually became the decoration on the front of the king's crown, and the adventurer became rich because of it...

If Rob was here, he would probably be very sensitive and say, "This looks a bit like the gold rush commercial in the U.S. back then. Do you know who made a fortune from the gold rush in the U.S. West? The one who sold gold mining equipment and camping supplies."

It didn't matter. The sky-high-priced passage was finally opened. Just when people were confidently preparing to go to the Ash Plains for a big fight, the gray dwarves appeared. According to the gray dwarves, the barbaric behavior of humans digging tunnels and holes disturbed them and blasphemed their beliefs.

What do they believe in? Can't you use explosives to make a hole in a mountain? Or is it that only the gray dwarves can rule the mountains and the Underdark?

It doesn’t matter either. The gray dwarves are not good people anyway. They enslave and arm underground creatures and wage war on humans.

It is against this backdrop that Lava Barrier was built.

The humans were beaten back step by step, and finally they had to drag their troops forward while building a lava barrier in the rear, eventually holding the pass. This was the only way to inflict a heavy loss on the gray dwarves, and they had to withdraw.

And this is old news from hundreds of years ago.

Today, the Lava Barrier was captured by the Gray Dwarves and became their bridgehead for invading the Igneous Basin. The kingdom's rule in the Igneous Basin was almost collapsed, which was also related to the fact that the local noble coalition suffered a bloody defeat in front of the Lava Barrier, and its own combat effectiveness was greatly reduced.

There was not enough strength, so they could only shrink and guard the important cities. Large areas became hunting grounds for the gray dwarves, while the towns in the rear, nearby, or more remote areas, like the one that Faust passed through, became a paradise for bandits and evil forces.

The overall turmoil and cruel internal struggle have caused some forces that do not like this kind of wild fighting to flock to the Maolin Plain.

In short, the so-called darkness and evil may not be like that at the beginning. Most of them are gradual changes in a series of events.

So the Igneous Basin is not the birthplace of cults, but it has indeed given rise to various dark organizations. There is obviously a hidden story here.

After all, evil knowledge is still knowledge, and because it is extremely dangerous, people often die if they try it. In addition, most individuals on the dark side are suspicious, crazy, sinister, and generally have no friends. Therefore, it is very difficult to preserve and pass on research results.

So, who is spreading the dark arts and giving rise to various dark organizations? What are they trying to achieve by doing so?

I'm sorry, this is not Father Luo's project, and Faust's mission this time has nothing to do with it.

However, Faust inherited Pastor Luo's arrogant style. Even though the area within a hundred kilometers of the lava barrier is now a scorched earth with no grass growing, Faust still walks straight ahead without any hurry or slowness, as if he was strolling in his own back garden.

Being so arrogant, naturally someone would jump out and try to teach him a lesson.

First came a group of Gray Dwarf Hellfire Cavalry that happened to be passing by.

This type of cavalry is named after the giant hellhounds they ride on.

This creature was originally a wild magic wolf, but was forcibly domesticated into a giant dog, like a Shar-Pei, with short hair, flame color, and flames flowing on its body, making it look very majestic and cool.

Not only does it look cool, but it can also spit flames or fireballs from its mouth, making it a great assistant in combat.

This group of Hellfire Cavalry was planning to go out hunting. They enjoyed the feeling of killing and setting fire, especially when they slaughtered human women and children and heard their screams.

However, the gray dwarves are of the Order camp, and their discipline is much better than that of most humans. They can be considered the dark Spartan version of the dwarf race.

Therefore, their troops appear solemn and majestic, and have the style of a strong army.

Seeing Faust, they had intended to use collisions, slashing and cutting to break him into pieces when the cavalry crossed paths with him. However, this halfling went against common sense and instead of cowering into a pile and trembling, or kneeling on the ground in the common posture of surrender, he actually charged at them.

These days are really magical, even halflings want to play the role of villain.

No, wait...it seems that in recent months, a story about a halfling evil star has been gradually spreading, and people who heard it were stunned. Could this be it?
Unfortunately, there is no time!

Faust's charge was a little unorthodox. It was not a charge like that of a dancing short legged creature, nor a charge like that of a cannonball. Instead, it was a charge with acceleration followed by teleportation.

I'm going to enter the speed of light...

Just like what these second-year lines describe, as long as I run, I am Sonic the Hedgehog, with all kinds of invincible rolls, and everything along the way is a gold coin.

Before the gray dwarfs' team of Hellfire Cavalry could deploy, they were pierced by Faust in a vertical formation. Wherever they passed, it was like a high-speed spinning bowling ball hitting pins, blowing them up in a variety of ways, and after landing, none of them was not a dried corpse.

"Hahaha!" Faust smiled excitedly with his hands on his hips, showing his two cute little fangs.

So, Faust, who has a weak and even cute appearance but scary behavior, actually has a resounding nickname in the underworld - Blood Demon Cub.

The main thing is his extraordinary signature skill, which is blood magic that even vampires would feel ashamed of.

For example, the club would often integrate people's vitality into the blood, which would then seep out of the pores in the form of blood mist and explode out of the body. This move was called the Blood and Essence Praise.

It is often paired with darkness.

This is a method derived from the soul witch's method, which is more extreme in science, but backed by the great way, with the meaning of equal exchange and a hidden ritual of salvation.

Moreover, there are limitations to using these methods.

In other words, it is precisely because of the disciplinary effect brought about by the restrictions that its power is so terrifying.

The limitation is that if the opponent does not have negative emotions such as malice or hostility, then it cannot be used. Otherwise, it will cause a magic-like backlash effect.

Unfortunately, the weak appearance of the halflings and the common habit of the creatures in this world to bully the weak allowed Faust to always kill indiscriminately.

But in order to have an experience as enjoyable as this time, you still have to touch it. Generally, it doesn't work that well.

So Faust is very excited.

After a while, he arrived at the main gate of the lava barrier, surrounded by the Hellfire Cavalry who had been transformed into zombie puppets by the Dark Lord.

The gray dwarf on duty didn't notice the flaw for a moment.

The main reason is that in his impression, there is no force that can make the Hellfire Cavalry betray him, or make them be enslaved and controlled in neat uniforms.

The Hellfire Cavalry are the elite among the gray dwarves. They are brutal and perverted, but have very strong wills and are loyal to their beliefs and the objects of their allegiance.

In the face of overwhelming power, they will indeed be crushed, but just like a warrior will not die from a back injury, before being crushed, the Hellfire Cavalry must have gone through a bloody battle. After all, the gray dwarves have a characteristic, which is that they are extremely resistant to mental attacks and are almost immune to enchantment skills.

At least this is the case with the gray dwarves in this world. This is an ability bestowed upon them by their racial beliefs. After a period of time from birth, when their health is confirmed and they complete the baptism ceremony, this ability is passively strengthened.

Unfortunately, this time, the force encountered by the Hellfire Cavalry was not only powerful, but also weird. It was the only one of its kind in this world, and even the person who taught it did not use this method.

Although the gray dwarves did not find anything unusual, their inherent discipline still required them to follow the procedures and ask for entry and exit commands.

Although the corpse puppet can list a kill list, its soul has been liberated after all, and it has no spirituality. It only has remnants of memory and a relatively simple low-level AI. This AI is formed by animal instincts + an instilled instruction set (mechanism).

Based on this, any negotiations or interactions that are more complex will not be possible.

Faust doesn't need to pass either. His goal is to get as close as possible and then let the corpse puppets start the fight.

The existence time of the corpse puppet is not infinite. Completing the kill list can renew its life, but if it fails to achieve its goal for a long time, it will run out of time and collapse and die.

It has a benefit for Faust, that is, when someone hates the existence of these corpse puppets, it is equivalent to malice towards him. And when the hater happens to be on the kill list, the malice is hostility.

In short, his discipline restriction is the hatred system. The stronger the target's malice, hatred and hostility towards him, the more powerful means he can unlock. At the same time, the power of his basic attack is also super high.

Therefore, the corpse puppet is his tool to spread and stir up negative emotions among potential enemies, so just make as much trouble as possible.

The Hellfire Cavalry's green eyes shone brightly, and they charged forward with a roar. Faust narrowed his eyes and looked at the spectacular concrete lava wall at the south gate, thinking, "What a bullshit impregnable! It can be conquered by the gray dwarves, and it can also be conquered by me. I'll kill you all, leaving no one alive. My quest journey is just so noisy, haha!"
