The drizzle of rain fluttered about, the mountain range was as dark as jade.
The terrain here was very similar to the Alps. It gave off a feeling of 'a mountain with four seasons, ten miles of different weather'.
Summer at the foot of the mountain, spring at the foot of the mountain, autumn at the waist of the mountain, winter at the peak.
At the foot of the Misty Mountains, the green grass was like a cushion, birds chirped and flowers bloomed.
A large number of fresh flowers were in full bloom. Irises, winter jasmine, large clusters of yellow flowers were Wind Lily Vines, and clumps of crimson flowers were Blooming Sedum. A faint floral fragrance floated in the air. Taking a deep breath, one's spirit seemed to be refreshed and refreshed.
Aside from the unique plants of the Lord of the Rings world, even the curves of the hillsides were smooth and gentle, just like the soft curves of a woman's breasts. Even when one's gaze swept past them, one would feel a sense of pleasure in the eyes.
However, the sudden appearance of corpses on the grassy slope disrupted this beautiful scenery. It was like someone had urinated on a famous painting, spoiling the scenery.
Especially these corpses that were grimacing in pain, horribly shriveled to the point that their gums were exposed. Their skin was pale white, and their throats had a gaping hole. It was as though the culprit not only sucked blood, but also gnawed on their flesh. Shockingly, deep teeth marks could be seen, giving off an indescribable feeling of horror.
Without exception, these corpses were all elves. Although their horrifying appearance couldn't be linked with elegance and handsomeness, their prominent pointed ears completely betrayed their identities.
Sheyan once again inspected the corpse, his heart sinking. Although the corpse had shriveled to a metre in size, Sheyan could still recognize it. It was the amiable and dignified Elder Desirese Roots who was previously chatting with him. Apart from that, the other corpses were shockingly Elder Annenia Yusu … ….
If that was the case, all of Melody's subordinates who had come with him were almost completely wiped out!
More importantly, the escape route Sheyan had arranged wasn't in this direction. Even Sheyan only managed to find the correct path through some pre-arranged secret markings. That was enough to prove that they were completely forced to this direction, and didn't even have the opportunity to turn around and escape.
There were no signs of fighting around the corpses. This could only mean one thing: the enemy was powerful to a certain extent and had a terrifying and overwhelming advantage!
In front of this guy, the elves didn't even have a chance to fight back! As for the reason why the corpses appeared one after another, it was because they knew they were no match for Melody, but because of their loyalty to her, they stayed behind to stall for time.
"From the way these guys died, could it be that they met a vampire? But such a creature has never appeared in the Lord of the Rings! "Sheyan hurriedly chased after it while thinking rapidly in his mind.
"We can't rule out the possibility that the Nazgûl has the special ability to consume flesh and blood … … Then Reef is in trouble. But logically speaking, the head of the Nazgûl, the Witch-King of Angmar, isn't here. Galadriel, Glorfindel and Legolas should have the upper hand in a 1v1 battle with the Nazgûl, what more the mysterious Elrond?"
"At their level, defeating their opponents is not difficult, but killing them requires overwhelming power. In other words, to trap the four of them, the eight Nazgûls would have to work together. How could the Nazgûls split their forces to kill Melody just because of a small loss?"
While Sheyan's thoughts were running wild, he suddenly realized that the party channel had been connected. This meant that Reef had entered within a kilometre of him. Sheyan immediately shouted.
"Reef! Where are you? "
Reef's voice was hoarse as he gasped for breath.
"Don't come. Hurry up and leave. Don't come and die in vain. The enemy we're facing is unimaginably terrifying!"
Sheyan's heart trembled.
"I'm already a Reserve-duty Growth-Hunter. Why can't I come?"
Reef laughed bitterly and coughed.
"That's because you don't know who the enemy is! You'll never be able to guess! "
Sheyan earnestly asked.
"Who is he?"
Reef gasped for breath and replied.
"He's Elrond."
Sheyan asked in astonishment.
"How can this be? Elrond … … .why is he chasing you guys? Also, I saw many dried corpses along the way. They were all our men. Could it be Elrond's doing? "
Reef greedily breathed in. Listening to his panting, it seemed like every breath he took was the last breath of his life.
"That's right, it's him. The Elrond in front of us is no longer the King of Rivendell, but a terrifying beast … … "
"Coordinates. Location." Sheyan coldly asked.
Reef could hear the insistence in Sheyan's words and told him the location. It turned out that they weren't far from Sheyan. They were in the dense forest on the mountain to the right.
Sheyan hurriedly rushed over. But just as he was about to reach his destination, Sheyan's body trembled violently. Specks of golden light sparkled on the surface of his body. It was the sign that 'Life-link' had been activated. In other words, Reef had been knocked into a state of near death!
With this thought in mind, Sheyan rushed over like a madman. He ran through the dense forest with large strides. After running for about two hundred meters, he suddenly caught a whiff of the pungent stench of blood. He then saw Elrond's tall figure approaching Melody step by step. Elrond's walking posture was a little strange, as if his joints were stiff.
For some reason, Melody was leaning weakly against a nearby tree. However, her head was proudly held high. Even at this moment, she exuded an unyielding stubbornness! Reef was protected by the golden glow of 'Life-link'. His appearance was as miserable as it could get.
At this moment, Sheyan had already released his' Pestilence Monarch 'ability!
The Elves had a very special reaction to the powerful 'Pestilence Monarch' ability. Melody and the other two Elves raised their heads at the same time. Their eyes were filled with disbelief. However, Elrond didn't seem to have sensed anything. Sheyan's heart skipped a beat when he saw Elrond's reaction. He could roughly guess what had happened. He was now only twenty meters behind Elrond. He pulled out 'Ambition', activated 'Rum and Songs' and pulled the trigger!
With a loud bang, green smoke curled up. The fatal lead bullet caused Elrond to stagger forward. It seemed like the stun effect was actually effective on him!
By now, Sheyan had already sprinted to Reef's side. He then applied a 3000 utility points' Continuous Recovery Bandage 'on the immobilized Reef. The bandage could restore 1000 HP in a minute. Of course, the prerequisite was that it wasn't interrupted by attacks.
Elrond suddenly turned around. His eyes emitted a ferocious glint. He suddenly let out a series of mournful roars at Sheyan. Sheyan's heart couldn't help but tremble when he saw Elrond's appearance.
In the past, Elrond was tall, burly, and imposing. Naturally, he had an awe-inspiring aura about him. Even when he was half dead from his illness, he still had the aura of an ambitious and ruthless character.
But now, the only feeling Elrond gave off was ferocious! A ferocious, greedy, and thirsty beast!
At this time, his skin was a strange light purple and pale white, and there were many fingernail-sized spots on his skin. At first, they looked like age spots, but upon closer inspection, they were traces of large clusters of blood clots.
The most obvious change was his ears. The pointed ears of the elves had disappeared and were replaced by rotting round ears. The corners of his mouth, nostrils, eyes, and other facial features had begun to corrode intensely. His sharp teeth looked exceptionally dazzling and terrifying. There were two bleak streaks of dried blood flowing down from the corners of his mouth.
Sheyan inhaled deeply as his chest once again emitted a radiance. After the intense battle with Drubal, Sheyan's awakened state still had 3 hours before ending. Presently, Sheyan had already recovered to his optimal state after sprinting all the way here!
Suddenly, Sheyan felt his vision blur. Elrond was already right in front of him. The nails on his right hand were as sharp as the claws of a wild beast. They carried an intense black glow as they viciously clawed at Sheyan. Sheyan didn't hesitate. He didn't dodge or evade. With a groan, he took Elrond's attack head-on. Then, he immediately counterattacked with his saber, slashing viciously at Elrond's shoulder.
Sheyan felt as if his saber didn't cut flesh, but thick leather instead. A dull 'kacha' sound rang out. Elrond's claw dealt over 140 points of damage to Sheyan. If it was before, this attack would have taken away at least one-tenth of Sheyan's HP! Seven or eight similar attacks were enough to push Sheyan to the brink of extreme danger.
No wonder Reef didn't want Sheyan to throw his life away. Reef deeply understood that Sheyan's previous mission of luring the enemy wasn't an easy one. Sheyan had probably exhausted all his trump cards, including his honorary dosage and party abilities. He was already an arrow at the end of its flight. For the previous Sheyan, as long as the enemy dealt more than a hundred points of actual damage to him, they were all very threatening and lethal. (To be continued.)
