Volume 2 Heroes of Might and Magic of Might and Magic: Deathmatch Chapter 160 New Plan
"That bastard Yi Ketlin killed all the Ghoul and is Tong Ran playing with a few Ghoul slaves with Zhen Erju!"
It was the same reincarnator named John who arrived in this village overrun by plague after killing all the new recruits at the human stronghold.
"Captain Yue Chao, using Slave Brand in the mission world costs a lot of points," and it will also take up your slave slots. It was that woman with maroon hair who, clearly, was the only one in the team who dared to offer her suggestion.
He gave the woman a strange look, then waved his finger at her. "Oh, Catherine, you really surprise me. I thought none of the four of you liked me very much, haha, it seems at least you still care about me!"
As soon as the words were spoken, the expressions of the four people, including Catherine, changed, but none of them dared to speak.
"Hmph, let's go!" Just as John was about to leave, he suddenly seemed to sense something, and a strange expression appeared on his face.
John walked into a large wooden house that had once been a granary, and then pulled a villager out of a cellar.
"How come there are still survivors?"
Looking at the pale-faced villager, John's powerful gaze locked onto him, causing the somewhat overweight middle-aged villager, dressed in burlap clothes, to show a look of fear.
John was quite satisfied. He had just reached a certain level of combat strength, and suppressing an ordinary villager would not be too difficult. Moreover, this villager did not seem to be so simple. How could someone who could survive in a plague-ridden, fallen village be simple?
His pale skin, somewhat reddish eyes, and physique clearly superior to that of an ordinary person all indicated this. However, it was obvious that this villager had not been corrupted by the Scourge and become a Ghoul. He had transformed into a different kind of creature.
The villager tried to resist, but John grabbed him by the throat and looked him over. John noticed two teeth marks on the villager's neck.
"Vampire?"
John's expression at that moment was priceless, and Catherine and the others behind him were also filled with doubt. Did Vampire even exist in this mission world?
"Who made you like this?" Unable to understand, Yoshu had no choice but to ask the villager.
However, he underestimated the Vampire's servant contract. Even if he died, the villager wouldn't tell him anything useful. Not only that, the villager kept struggling. When John got no answer, he used his strength and snapped the villager's neck with a crack.
Then came the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.
"My dear Catherine, what do you think of this? John, who killed a man without even flinching, flicked his finger, and the villager's head was severed from his body."
Such a bloody scene would be unbearable even for a seasoned reincarnator.
Catherine took a deep breath and thought to herself that no matter how monstrous this John was, he was still the captain of this team. The only way to survive the mission was to rely on him. She was only at the Gui-level combat strength and had no chance of fighting him. Even the remaining three people, the strongest of whom was only at the Gui-level, while John was a terrifying Gui-level.
"Captain John, I don't think this is something the Scourge Undead have done. It's very likely that another Reincarnator, or another Reincarnator team, has also entered this mission world. This is the most probable explanation."
"Well said, haha, that's right. One of them must have vampire blood. You know, in Shadow Street, that bloodline is incredibly expensive. Since there are other reincarnators, shouldn't we go and say hello?"
The people who were asked the question quickly nodded.
John sneered, glanced at the villager's corpse again, and walked out of the house.
Nina, a hundred miles away, suddenly shuddered.
How to be a guest
Li Wei looked somewhat guilty at the girl with dark hair beside him. He had just managed to coax her into calming down after much persuasion, because Li Wei had assigned the "Crypt Demon Cage" (combat pet) to Zheng Yutong.
"My blood slave is dead."
Nina looked up at Li Wei, then lowered her head again, somewhat puzzled. Li Wei knew that vampires possessed very peculiar abilities; they seemed to have endless potential for expanding their understanding of blood.
After a Vampire plants a blood seed in a mortal, they can not only enslave that mortal and turn them into a vampire themselves, but also use the mysterious powers of vampires to learn what is happening to the blood slave.
The feeling was difficult to explain in words, and even harder to articulate clearly. If one had to use an analogy, this mysterious ability could only be likened to bio-electrical wave sensing. Nina quickly raised her head again, but her expression had become somewhat solemn. "My blood slave has been killed. The person who killed him was a reincarnator named John. So, there really are other reincarnation teams in this mission world besides us!"
Nina's words surprised everyone.
"Nina, how strong is that Reincarnation Squad?" Li Wei pondered for a moment.
"Very strong! I mean, at least one of the reincarnators, that guy named John, is extremely strong, and the other four are not weak either. They seem to be heading to the Scourge Camp as well. Moreover, they've already learned of our existence through my blood slaves!"
Li Wei could anticipate Nina's words, since in the quest world of World of Warcraft, he had never heard of Vampire. As for blood slaves, they were even less likely to exist.
If the other side thought about it for a moment, they would realize the existence of another reincarnation team. The question now is, what is the mission of the reincarnation team led by Yue Shu?
"Perhaps they don't have any hostility!" Chen Dali said, his idea clearly somewhat presumptuous.
This isn't even a problem. Not to mention Li Wei, even Nina understands the logic behind it.
"Since they killed my Blood Slave, it means without a doubt that the man named Yue Chao has declared war on us."
Nina gritted her teeth in hatred. Killing her blood slave was tantamount to a direct challenge to her, and the girl was thoroughly jealous of the other's arrogant and provocative attitude.
Chen Dali suddenly realized. But doing so was tantamount to declaring war!
Li Wei had another consideration at this moment: they now had a potential enemy. The reincarnator named John, judging from his actions, was definitely an arrogant and conceited person.
Such a person has a flaw: he does everything solely based on his own whims. The killing of Nina's blood slave this time is a signal of this. Perhaps even John himself didn't realize that his murderous intent was too strong.
Moreover, the other party is clearly heading to the Scourge camp. There are only two possibilities: for the Scourge, the other party is either an enemy or a friend. And judging from the rules of different reincarnators in the mission, it is very likely that the other party is on good terms with the Scourge.
Now, as one of the Forsaken, he and the Scourge are mortal enemies, which means that sooner or later he will have to fight John's squad to the death.
It's better to take the initiative now than to be passive later.
"Wait a minute, everyone, our plan might need to be changed a little," Li Wei said.
A few minutes later, Li Wei left the farm alone.
It took Li Wei a lot of persuasion to convince Zheng Yutong and the others to accept his new plan. His new plan was quite simple: he would use his current combat strength to test the enemy's capabilities.
It seems simple, but it's actually very difficult. First, you need to find this group of people in a short time, which requires considerable combat strength. If danger arises, you also need to have the skills to escape. Li Wei is the only person who possesses all of these qualities.
This is why he was eventually able to persuade others to agree to his plan.
Using his "Shifting Forms and Changing Positions" technique, Li Wei instantly arrived at the western village.
Many houses in the village had been burned down, and the once fertile land was now contaminated with muddy water infiltrated by the plague virus. Seeing all this, Li Wei sighed. The village had become like this entirely because of the spread of the plague virus by his group. However, there was nothing he could do. If he had to choose again, Li Wei would still do the same thing.
Kindness can sometimes come at a terrible price, sometimes even death.
Arriving quickly at the location where the blood slave had died, Li Wei only saw the headless corpse, along with the scent of other reincarnators.
The scent was heading west, indicating that John's Reincarnation Squad had already left. Li Wei knew their destination: the Scourge Camp. He could get there instantly, but before that, he needed to do something else to confirm something.
Kneeling down to examine the wound on the blood slave's neck, Li Wei began to determine the method and weapon used to kill it. Sometimes, one can learn a lot about an enemy from their corpse.
Even personality!
"First, a special technique similar to external internal energy was used to break the blood slave's neck. At this point, the blood slave was already completely dead. If it were an ordinary person, they wouldn't continue to attack or even torture the corpse."
"Leaving aside the method he used to sever the blood slave's head, just the act of cutting off the head of a dead person with whom he should have had no grudge shows that John is an extremely perverted guy. Coupled with his arrogance and his reckless act of doing whatever he pleases, dealing with him might not be a difficult task."
"Finally, there's the weapon and technique he used. The wound looks like it was cut by a sharp weapon, but actually, it shouldn't be a blade or sword blade, otherwise the cut wouldn't be so clean and square. That's how we know it!"
Li Wei sighed.
Then, Li Wei used Shifting Forms and Changing Positions again, this time his destination being the entrance to the Scourge Camp. There was a small town there, a town belonging to the dead, because it was the only way to enter the Scourge Camp.
