Before being forcibly reorganized by the alpha, the imps were actually a kind of demon subspecies living in the swamp area. They were roughly the size of a human child, covered with dark red, wrinkled skin, and had a lizard-like face. They had a reputation for cruelty and violence. Scholars believed that this kind of demon subspecies was not a real demon, but a distorted projection of the beasts that had been contaminated by the tides of Chaos. Some people thought that the imps were a branch of the goblins that had been corrupted by dark magic. But no matter what, the world had a common understanding of the imps: these terrible little things were a rather brutal and fearless race. They would only submit to absolute power. Although many of the imps' actions were ridiculous, it could not hide the dark essence in their bones.
The imps were almost fearless.
However, these fearless imps were now screaming and running out from the depths of the forest. The two imps were covered in blood and stumbled as they ran, as if a terrible enemy was chasing them.
Lily heard the noise and immediately rushed over. She found that the two trembling imps were scouts that had been sent to a certain direction in the forest. But there were ten of them. Looking at the situation now, it was clear that the other eight were dead.
"What happened?" Lily came up to the two imps and asked condescendingly.
The two trembling imps felt the aura of their leader, or maybe they were intimidated by the Light of Order on Lily. In short, they finally calmed down. They screamed in a harsh language that sounded like metal tearing. "The others are dead! All dead! "" Something black came out of the woods! "" It wasn't afraid of fire or smoke! "" It went right through us and got into our brains! "" And then we were all dead! "" And we saw many, many terrible things! "" Oh! "" Oh! "" Oh!
The imps were one of the more intelligent abhumans, which was why Lily sent them to scout ahead. Compared to the bear monsters, these guys could at least explain what they saw clearly. But after hearing the messy report of the two imps, Lily could not help but stare at them. "What nonsense is this?"
At this time, Calaxus had also caught up from behind. The high-ranking monk had some knowledge about abhumans, so he could understand some of the imps' words. "Were they attacked by the Servants of Chaos?" he asked with a frown.
Lily's ears twitched. "It's that … Chaos you mentioned again? Is that thing really that powerful? "
Calaxus could not help but roll his eyes. Had it not been for his 40-year experience as an archbishop, Calaxus would have rolled his eyes to the top of his head. The high-ranking monk sighed. "You … are destined to be unafraid of the Chaos, but that thing is an absolute disaster for us ordinary people. Then again, alpha, do you really not know what happened on the continent? "
"I don't know." Lilith put her hands on her hips happily. Although she didn't know what was there to be happy about, she was so happy. "I woke up and found myself on the island. God knows what happened before."
Calaxus continued to sigh, but he did not know what to say.
He was in awe of the alpha's Light of Order, but it was hard for him to accept her worldview and attitude towards Chaos, especially the latter. Probably because she was born with powerful divine power of Order, this alpha was almost destined to be immune to the invasion of Chaos. Not to mention the invasion of Chaos, there was a powerful force field of Order within a few hundred meters around her. The power of Chaos could not even get close to her, which led to an interesting result:
The 'Chaos' that everyone in Collow was familiar with was something that the alpha would never encounter in his lifetime … Of course, it might be an exaggeration to say 'lifetime' since there were times when the power of Chaos could break through the blockade of Order. But at least for now, the alpha had never been disturbed by the power of Chaos.
The deaf are not afraid of fireworks, the blind are not afraid of flowers, the simple-minded are not afraid of setbacks in life, and the Husky is not afraid of encountering Chaos …
At this time, Lily had finished questioning the two imps. After some questioning, she was sure that the two unlucky guys had indeed encountered the monsters of Chaos.
"As expected, the power of Chaos is chasing us," Calaxus said. "I did not expect that there would be a new tide in the seventh year of the tide of Chaos. The dark side of the Sea of Carnos is surging up from the bottom of the world, and a new wave of storm is landing in the southern part of Ansu. We should be at the front of the storm. According to my judgment, the real storm has not started yet. It will arrive in about three days. But even at the front of the storm of Chaos, it is quite dangerous. "
Lily could only understand half of what Calaxus said, but she knew that the situation seemed to be getting worse.
After entering the forest area, the team had been encountering all kinds of strange phenomena. Suddenly withered trees, surging soil, and living skeletons in the forest had appeared more than once. According to Calaxus, these were all signs of the approaching Chaos. Today, all the signs had finally reached their climax: the Servants of Chaos had killed some of the team members.
Although it was just a few imps, they had escaped from the floating island with her. As the famous Hound King of the Southern Suburbs, Lily felt the need to protect her minions.
She looked at Calaxus. "Uncle, you are the expert. Give me a suggestion."
Calaxus nodded. "We should now be on the border of the conflict between the Chaos and the Order. This storm has just appeared, so the conflict between the two forces has not really erupted yet. The monsters from the Chaos will not erupt everywhere, but should be concentrated in a few places where the conflict is the most serious. We have to follow the scouts and avoid the place where the energy of Chaos is the strongest. Our goal is still the nearest barrier of Order. It should be a three-day journey from here to the border of Taros. If we hurry, we can shorten it to two days. "
Lily thought for a moment. She suddenly jumped on a big rock and shouted, "Everyone, pay attention! Set up camp next to the campfire! We must have a good sleep today. We will set off tomorrow! "
Calaxus nodded slightly after hearing the arrangement of the alpha. But an ordinary paladin in the investigation team could not help but say, "Alpha, shouldn't we set off immediately? It will be a waste of time to set up camp here. "
"It will not be a waste of time." Lily stared at the reckless paladin. "We have been on the road for several days, and now everyone is exhausted. If we encounter monsters in this situation, the ability to fight back is basically zero. The risk is far greater than the time it takes to set up camp. Now while my light is still bright, everyone should take the time to rest. Let's go, let's go back to sleep! "
The reckless paladin was speechless. Calaxus patted the young man on the shoulder and said, "Alpha is right. The worst thing to do in the realm of Chaos is to lose your cool and waste your energy. Go back and rest. The real challenge is tomorrow. "
The Magical Beast Camp quickly quietened down. A large bonfire was burning in the middle of the clearing in the forest. The bright light from the bonfire illuminated the twisted and deep dark forest. Lily came to the "throne" that belonged to her. She lay down and looked at the gloomy sky in a daze.
She was covered with thick animal skins and straw mattresses, but these things could not let her sleep well.
It was so f * cking bright …
Lily turned over awkwardly and saw that her tail was glowing in the air. Not only her tail, but her whole body was glowing. At first, the light was interesting to her, but now she felt that this blinding thing was seriously hindering her sleep, and more importantly, she did not know how to turn it off.
"If only Mr. Landlord was here," the husky maiden thought. "Mr. Landlord knows a lot of strange things. He must have a way."
After turning over for a while, she suddenly heard a strange noise coming from nearby.
Lily's ears twitched. She immediately sat up and looked around.
Her beasts were surrounding her. Demonic wolves, gnolls, bear monsters, imps, and all kinds of magical beasts were divided into many piles according to their species. They lay in a circle around the throne of the alpha. Snoring sounds of different intensities and the unique smell of magical beasts drifted throughout the camp. The rescued humans had also occupied a corner. These humans, who seemed to be of high status, were actually very tough. They were now camped in the open space next to the pack of fire foxes with a few simple tents.
The tents were carried by the human named Calaxus, who seemed to have a 'dimensional pocket' similar to Mr. Landlord's.
Lily's eyes wandered between the beasts and the human tents. The strange sound was drifting in the camp as if an invisible monster had sneaked in. The owner of the sound swaggered over the sleeping bodies, looking for its prey.
All of a sudden, Lily's golden pupils constricted.
She stared at the place where the imps had camped and saw two figures climbing up.
They were the two scouts who had escaped.
