At some point, Alov's group had left the camp. The people in the camp began to prepare. They brought all the luggage they could carry and hung them on their bodies. Everyone was nervous. Their expressions were unsightly. Some were pacing back and forth on the spot. Some were rubbing their hands by the bonfire as if they were very cold.
In this environment, even Reina was nervous. She had been sitting at the outermost edge of the camp. There was a large rock without snow. She sat there and had a wide view.
However, just as the sun set and the stars gradually appeared in the sky, there was a sudden clatter in the camp. Everyone was shocked and turned their heads to look. They saw a young worker lying on the ground with a bowl beside him. The venison soup in the bowl had all spilled on the ground.
…
"It's about time."
Ryder, who was hiding behind a tree, suddenly said. The smile on his face had disappeared and was replaced by a cold expression. Alov was sitting on the side and smoking with his eyes closed. After hearing Ryder's words, he slowly opened his eyes and turned to look at Brooke.
"Do it."
Hearing this, the shifty-eyed Brooke immediately stood up and patted the snow off his hands.
"It's a pity for that little beauty. I like her so much. If she knew what's good for her, she wouldn't have ended up like this."
Saying this, he took out a magic disk from his pocket. It was a roulette with a total of three circles and different magic arrays. It was Luyas' magic tool.
"We need a powerful evil spirit. Unless you want to replace her, she's dead for sure."
Brooke choked and coughed a few times. Then he bitterly smiled and said, "Of course I won't do that. Once I activate this spell, the magic in the cave will be activated. At that time, those dead people will rush out. Hehe, I hope everyone in the camp is already dead. Otherwise, they will only feel more despair."
"Hurry up, before those people who ate less have the strength to escape. You better hurry up."
Ryder urged.
"Oh, right. There will always be hypocrites like this. They have nothing and still want to generously help others. How laughable. Okay."
The Magic Wheel in Brooke's hand suddenly glowed, and the Magic Incantation released a mysterious power. These powers intertwined and made the Magic Wheel vibrate. Alov and the others watched all this nervously. They didn't even breathe until the light of the roulette disappeared.
Suddenly, when the light disappeared, the surroundings quieted down. They held their breaths and quietly listened to the sounds around them.
Not long after, a ghost-like wailing and wolf-like howling sound came from the mountain. The sound was extremely terrifying.
"Success?"
Reid asked.
"Of course we succeeded. That was the sound of evil spirits surging out of the cave. Hehe, now all we have to do is wait for those Wussen Empire soldiers to lead us in."
Brooke said with a smile, but the others were silent. He was the only one who was happy.
Soon, Brooke also noticed that Alov and Ryder's expressions were somewhat gloomy.
Just as he realized what was going on, Baglik suddenly hugged him from behind. The huge force instantly lifted Browa's feet into the air. His entire body was squashed, and all the air in his lungs was squeezed out. His eyes and mouth were wide open, and he looked like he was in pain.
He looked at Alov in fright, squeezing out a few words with great difficulty. "Why, why?"
Alov's expression was very frightening. He glared at Brooke and said, "I already warned you not to say anything to that woman. That was the last chance I gave you."
Brooke began to suffocate. As a magus, he was unable to move or speak. He was as helpless as an ordinary person.
"People like you will only drag us down. Right now, you are no longer of any use to us. But since you've done some work, I'll tell you another secret. "
Alov walked in. His lips curved, revealing his teeth. He smiled and said, "Actually, the three of us already know where the entrance is. It's just that we need to pay a price to enter."
Hearing this, Brooke clenched his teeth and glared savagely at him, his bulging eyes bloodshot.
…
At first, everyone thought that he was exhausted. It wasn't until the second person inexplicably collapsed that they realized the severity of the problem.
"What's wrong? What happened? "
"Wake up, are you okay?"
The people in the camp hurriedly surrounded him, but a few seconds later, another person fainted in the crowd.
Reina couldn't sit still anymore. She stood up and walked toward the crowd.
She saw that the people who had fainted were placed together. Their faces were extremely pale. Someone took off his gloves and placed his finger on their noses. Traveling merchants usually had some medical skills. The carriages would also have emergency medicine in case of an emergency.
"There's still breathing, but it's very weak."
This was the first sentence he said. Reina squeezed through the crowd and realized that it was the merchant uncle she had been talking to.
"No! There's no breathing! "
He pried open the worker's mouth and a stench instantly spread out. They saw that the worker's tongue had turned black. When he pressed on his stomach, he spat out a mouthful of sticky black blood.
"Damn it! It's poison! They've been poisoned! "
"What did he eat?"
"Deer meat! And what else! This poor guy has been starving for a few days. He ate a lot of deer meat today. "
The crowd started to panic. Reina heard the sound of vomiting, but it was too late.
Suddenly, another person fainted without any symptoms. The situation became out of control. The panicked crowd was like ants on a hot pan. Each of them used their own methods to save themselves. Some desperately ate their own medicine, some grabbed snow and ate fiercely, trying to slow down the spread of the poison. Some simply sat on the ground and broke down crying. They had already reached their limit during this period of time. Now, it was even more hopeless.
"Alov and the others poisoned the deer meat! Those bastards! They'll definitely go to hell! "
The curses were endless.
Reina didn't think too much. She came to the side of the people who had just collapsed. She placed her hand on their heads and cast a healing spell to heal their wounds.
Once the light green light appeared, it attracted the attention of the surrounding people.
"How is it?"
The merchant uncle asked nervously.
Reina frowned under the hopeful gaze of the crowd. This was because her magic didn't have any effect at all. This person's magic was quickly draining. This was a symptom of death. Once a creature died, the magic in their body would immediately return to nature. Therefore, when some creatures with a large amount of magic died, it would cause various phenomena in the environment.
She shook her head. She was powerless. Healing magic couldn't deal with the poison at all. What about herself?
Reina didn't find anything strange about herself. If there was, she would have already lost her life because of the things she ate during the journey. But she didn't. The medicine that the Demon King and Richard gave her had already made her immune to poison.
At this moment, a loud whistling sound came from the side of the cave. Everyone turned their heads and saw a little blue flame appear at the entrance of the cave by the side of the mountain.
