Chapter 0472 Ogre Camp

Nio Valley.

Mary walked cautiously through a jungle of shadows.

Everything around was dark, and black shadows of varying shades could be seen everywhere. And in many shadows, one can vaguely sense the subtle breath of life that is too weak to detect.

Mary must be very careful to avoid the location of these shadows, because each shadow is actually a twisted and evil shadow creature. They were densely packed throughout the valley, closely guarding all the roads leading to the black wizard tower.

These shadow creatures may not be very powerful. In Mary's eyes, they are all weak beings that can be destroyed with one blow. However, in order to avoid alerting the enemy, she could only cover up all the breath of life and carefully walk through the dense shadows.

As a foreign vampire, Mary can easily control the temperature of her blood, thus evading the search of infrared sensing and life sensing. Coupled with her agility bonus in stealth, it is impossible for these shadow creatures, whose average strength is no more than that of an intermediate apprentice, to detect her presence.

The reason why Mary was so careful was not because of them, but to avoid the shadow mastiffs that wandered through the Naio Valley from time to time. They are like hounds in the material world, possessing a highly developed sense of smell and able to detect the flow of any element that is not shadow matter.

Fortunately, Mary was wearing the 'Orb of Deception' given to her by Alice. Under the cover of the strange aura, as long as she was not directly seen by these shadow creatures, her non-shadow creature nature would not be exposed.

This is also known as the Black Secret Realm, and it is also the area where the dark witch’s original tower is located.

If she hadn't promised Alice, Mary wouldn't have come here to seek death even if she was mad. You know, there are second- and third-level dark witches stationed here for many years. Even the fourth-level dark witch leader Circe spends most of the year here.

Even with Mary's fearless character, when she thought of so many high-level wizards, she couldn't help but tremble slightly in her heart.

No one can bear the crime of premeditating to infiltrate the dark witch's place of origin. Therefore, if Mary does not want to be hunted by dark witches all over the world, hiding her identity is the only way.

As Mary walked through the gray shadows of the trees, a warning sign suddenly appeared in her heart. Her body flew up lightly and silently clung to a big gray tree. Then with a slight squeeze, she merged with the gray shadow of the big tree.

Although her movements were swift and silent, and no breath was leaked, they still inevitably caused a flow of wind elements.

The next second, five shadow mastiffs emerged from the shadows underground, sniffing around with their noses raised. In addition to the strong smell of shadows, there was also a hint of wind element in the air.

Although this is the depth of the Shadow Valley, and the overly rich shadow material repels most of the magical elements in the material world, it is not too strange that a small amount of wind elements sneak in through the gaps in the shadows.

Therefore, the shadow mastiffs spread out and patrolled, and when they found nothing, they relaxed their vigilance.

So, with a slight shadow fluctuation, the five shadow mastiffs instantly appeared in another shadow a hundred meters away through shadow jumping, and continued their patrol.

After another long while, when it was confirmed that there was no 'disturbance' in the surrounding area, Mary squeezed out from the shadow of the big tree with a slight squirm.

Seriously speaking, this is no longer the wizarding world.

Relying on the powerful power of the Witch Tower, those dark witches actually caused a small area of ​​plane overlap between the wizard world and the legendary shadow plane. The overlapping area is the area covered by the shadow jungle of Nio Valley.

In this way, the dark witches can continue to organize their forces to explore the vast shadow plane, which is comparable to the wizarding world. The benefits gained from this are also obvious.

However, the dark witch's original witch tower, as the core hub anchoring the two planes, is also in the process of constant competition between the two planes. Therefore, periodic shadow outbreaks and even raids by the natives of the Shadow Plane will have a considerable negative impact on the stability of the Shadow Valley.

With the strength of a Mary-level vampire wizard, it is simply impossible to break into a tightly guarded dark witch's origin witch tower. But with Alice here, she can find a gap for you to pass through, no matter how tight the wall is.

So Mary moved step by step, and it took almost three days to move forward four miles. She was still two or three miles away from the tall dark tower.

But when she got here, she stopped moving forward. Instead, she found a slightly quiet forest glade, and squeezed her body into the soil between reality and reality at an extremely slow speed.

From now on, until the wave of shadows breaks out in a month, she must be nailed here like a nail. Without the space turmoil caused by the wave of shadows, she would not have any chance of breaking into the tower of the dark witch's origin. Only when the tide of shadow washed and shook the overlapping area did she have the opportunity to take the risk.

Of course, what is the so-called shadow tide...when will it erupt...Mary knows nothing about these things.

But she doesn't know, but that doesn't mean Alice, who has mastered the Tower of Destiny, doesn't know.

Alice, who was always staring at the Dark Tower, had already planned all the rescue matters. The only thing she lacked was a powerful wizard like Mary who had the talent of an assassin.

Alice had made up her mind to rescue her only relative, the poisonous woman Endor.

As for the consequences, she was desperate!

Stone Hammer Camp.

This is a large ogre camp located deep in the Black Forest.

The Giant Hammer Mountain, where the ogres were entrenched, was burned to ashes by Grimm last time and has become a bare stone mountain. So the ogres simply set up a huge camp on the mountain, and surrounded the entire Giant Hammer Mountain with sharpened wooden stakes that were as thick as a man's embrace.

The powerful ogre elite warriors, small leaders and the terrible two-headed ogre wizard naturally lived in the belly of the mountain, while most ordinary ogres built simple huts on the mountainside and lived in them.

Due to the lack of planning and arrangement, each ogre wandered around as he pleased, and the huts they built were scattered all over the place, colorful, and smoky and chaotic.

When the sun rose, the ogre leaders came out from the mountain, and walked towards the tall gate at the foot of the mountain, kicking the ogres sleeping in the open air with their thick black feet.

"Get up... get up... get up... lazy guys... don't do much work, but eat a lot. Stinky head, black face, get up... it's time to go out hunting..."

Under its beating and scolding, the ogres climbed out of the huts and open spaces, grumbling, shaking their tall bodies like small mountains, following the leaders, and walked down the mountain.

For a while, the entire Stone Hammer camp was full of tall and strong figures, shouting and scolding everywhere, and it was as lively and noisy as a huge market.

There are a total of 7 ogres in this ogre camp. Among them, there are 43 adult male ogres, 22 adult female ogres, 4 underage candidate ogre warriors, and 3 ogre cubs.

Although adult male ogres only account for half of the total number, for a barbaric and brutal race like ogres, there are no incompetent people who just eat and wait to die in the tribe. Almost all of them are powerful and domineering warriors. Even those female ogres or underage ogres can easily smash the heads of elite human warriors with wooden sticks as thick as human legs.

In the ogre camp, any ogre who has reached the aging period and has not died will be expelled from the tribe and become a wandering ogre. Therefore, the ogre camp does not raise "useless people" who have lost their fighting ability!

On a high cliff 5 miles away from the Giant Hammer Mountain, Bilis stood on the top of the cliff, silently watching the dark figures of ogres rushing out of the village gate and dispersing into the surrounding black forest.

Unlike the bee people, the ogres are in a team of three people, and the weapons they use are mostly thick wooden sticks and stone sticks that they grind themselves, and their hunting range is even wider, almost hundreds of miles. Like those adult ogres, if they let go of their feet and run wildly, there is no problem at all to run 70 or 80 miles in the morning.

This also fully reflects their strength and physique far beyond ordinary people!

Seriously speaking, ogres are actually a kind of humanoid creatures.

Their appearance is like a human magnified several times, with an extremely strong body and even more powerful strength. They are a huge, ugly, and greedy demonized creature. Although they are strong, they are simple-minded. Even those adult ogres only have the intelligence of a five-year-old human child.

Only those mutant ogre wizards can break through the limitations of intelligence and become a terrifying monster that believes in violence, cruel and bloody.

Ordinary ogre warriors, according to the wizard's power classification method, have 7 points of strength and 9 points of constitution. The two-headed ogre Zak has 1 point of strength and 3 points of constitution, as well as 4 points of spirit.

4 points of spirit may only be considered an ordinary wizard among human wizards, but in the ogre tribe, it can be regarded as an enviable high IQ person!

Bilis lowered his head and pondered for a while.

Compared with the ogres, the young stinging scorpion he cultivated has 4 points of strength and 5 points of constitution, as well as 2 points of spirit.

If you use such data to fight against the Abe bee people, the young stinging scorpion can still have a considerable advantage. But if you want to confront the ogres head-on, I'm afraid they can't withstand the violent attack of the adult ogres.

It seems that you can only outsmart them!

Bilis made up his mind, whistled softly, and turned into a black swarm of insects and rushed down the cliff. chapter;
