As he passed through the endless paddy fields, the cold wind blowing from afar was abnormally terrifying.
The sky was always dark. If one chose to look down at the ground, one could see a terrifying scarlet through the black soil.
This was the Bloody Wasteland.
Ma Wen quickly walked out of the edge of the paddy fields alone.
There was a simple map in his mind. The map included the terrain of Isengar and its northeast.
In Isengar, no one could reap without sowing. As a newbie, it was naturally impossible for Ma Wen to get a complete map.
He had to complete the mission in the camp.
In order to save time, after some consideration, he chose a difficult mission.
The reason why this task was so difficult was because this task had been posted on the bulletin board two weeks ago, but no one had completed it in two weeks.
Moreover, most people in the camp were not interested in this mission, even if the reward was as high as 30 Blood Essence Stones.
After Marvin discussed with the mission manager, they added a standard Isengard Novice Toolkit on top of the 30 Blood Essence Stones. Only then did they reach an agreement.
Usually, the new members of the camp would have some benefits in completing missions.
Ma Wen only needed to complete a Novice Patrol Mission to obtain a complete Novice Kit.
The kit included the following three items: two maps, a large map of the Bloody Wasteland and a small map of the vicinity of Isengar; a teleportation scroll that could instantly teleport back to Isengar within two hundred miles; and a Microscopic Cloak that was said to be able to hide one's aura.
The Novice Patrol Mission was relatively simple. They were all patrolling the hinterland of Isengar, but the duration was slightly longer, requiring two weeks.
Ma Wen planned to stay at the Bloody Wasteland for a maximum of 12 weeks. How could he waste two weeks on a Novice Patrol Mission?
Therefore, he chose the quickest method.
Although this mission did seem to be a bit difficult.
…
In the north of the paddy fields of Isengar, there was an undulating mountainous area.
The mountainous terrain was rugged, and there were a large number of space-time rifts and void vortexes in the sky. If one wanted to fly over this mountainous area, he or she would most likely be sucked into the rifts and vortexes, and eventually get lost in some corner of the universe.
Therefore, the people of the Bloody Wasteland opened up a path.
This path was called the Withered Leaf Corridor.
According to the map, the Dead Leaf Corridor connected Isengard and the Black Swan Hill in the north. It was an important channel for Isengard to communicate with the outside world.
Recently, however, many monsters had appeared in the Withered Leaf Corridor.
These monsters were not naturally formed in the Scarlet Wasteland.
The natives here were very familiar with the monsters that naturally formed in the Scarlet Wasteland, including a large number of Shriveled Zombies, Blood Puppets, Trolls and so on.
But this time, among the monsters wandering in the Withered Leaf Corridor, the Abomination and Lumen appeared.
At first, a small patrol team discovered this anomaly when they were completing their patrol mission. They recorded it down and reported it to the camp.
Then it was time for an in-depth investigation.
The camp sent out two of their strongest scouts to investigate the mastermind behind these monsters — Abomination and Lumen would not appear out of thin air.
Soon, the answer was revealed.
There was a small canyon one-third of the way from the Dried Leaf Corridor to the Black Swan Hill.
Originally, the canyon was empty. But now, an altar had been erected in the middle of the canyon.
The owner of the altar was called Balch. This was not a name, but a surname.
If Ma Wen remembered correctly, the surname of the [King of Tyrants] in the Abyss was Balch. He was one of the most powerful lords in the Abyss.
And the owner of the altar, Balch, even if he was not his son, he must have a close relationship with the King of Tyrants.
Otherwise, he would not have dared to use Balch as his surname.
The scouts understood that the Lumen and the Abomination wandering in the Withered Leaf Corridor were all summoned by Balch from the altar.
He seemed to be experimenting with some mysterious magic.
As a great demon, Balch had unparalleled spell-like abilities; he himself was a master of witchcraft, and his strength was much higher than that of ordinary legendary wizards.
It was common knowledge that because of their physique, it was easier for demons to practice witchcraft than other creatures.
Because the source of chaos magic came from the Abyss, demons and magic were one.
Both of them also met the rule of [Chaos and Madness].
But because there was a serious shortage of highly intelligent merchants among the demons, most of them were used to destruction and using force to solve problems, and intelligence could not be used in many cases.
This led to most demons relying on their talent to use some spell-like abilities.
True Devil Wizards were few and far between.
And Balch was one of them.
… …
"The camp once sent two top assassins to assassinate Balch — it is said that one of them was a Level-4 ace assassin … …"
"But they both failed. This is enough to show that Balch is very vigilant. This is normal. In a place like the Scarlet Wasteland, even demon wizards do not dare to relax their vigilance. "
"According to the intelligence, Balch raised a magic dragon. This magic dragon is invisible, protects him, and can absorb damage for him."
"The reason why the previous two assassins did not succeed was because they were blocked by Balch's magic dragon. And once the first attack of the assassin is blocked by the wizard, then the countless instantaneous magic that follows will make the assassin unable to fight back. "
Marvin silently moved forward while thinking of a countermeasure.
The demon wizard Balch was not an easy character to deal with. He understood this from the moment he accepted the task.
However, the skilled and courageous Marvin still wanted to give it a try.
This time, he chose a different approach from the other assassins.
The rest of the people quietly sneaked over, ignoring all the monsters, and went straight to Balch himself.
But Ma Wen decided to kill all the way!
He did not want to let any of these monsters on the corridor of dead leaves go.
There was a staggering shadow in front of him.
He was covered in black gas, and his hands and feet were shackled with broken shackles.
The shackles themselves were made of magic, and he did not know who put them on.
The Abomination.
One of Balch's summons.
Ma Wen let out a soft breath and silently entered the stealth state.
With light and skillful footsteps, he quickly circled behind. The Abomination did not realize the existence of Ma Wen at all.
And the next second, Ma Wen glanced at a column on the data panel and instantly activated a skill.
Whoosh!
The Green Leaf Blade flashed, and a silent sneak attack quietly unfolded …
