Chapter 69 The Incomparably Evil Sorcerer
"Hehehe, braided stuff, not bad, not bad, tastes really good!"
Rock stared at the several Skaven ratmen with blood dripping from their mouths, his face darkening. He realized that these guys really didn't discriminate between raw and raw food!
Honestly, after Rock summoned these Skaven grenadiers, he never shortchanged the ratmen on food. Whatever his soldiers ate on a daily basis, the ratmen ate the same thing, after all, they were elite soldiers among the ratmen.
Such treatment made the Skaven grenadiers almost "forget to eat mice," but they still had many bad habits, including their fondness for eating enemy corpses on the battlefield.
Seeing the group of rats carrying a head with braids, gnawing on it while chattering and praising how delicious it was, Rock couldn't help but yell, "Alright, throw away what you're holding! Stop eating just anything!"
"Eating dirty food everywhere can lead to stomach upset!"
Something dirty? Stomach upset?
Upon hearing Rock's words, the rat-men grenadiers who were busy eating all looked up, their faces full of doubt.
It has to be said that this is the first time they have heard someone advise them not to eat dirty food, otherwise they will get a stomachache. After all, for Skaven, their digestive ability is strong enough, and they don't need to pay attention to hygiene, so why should they care about these things?
Only those truly sophisticated rat-man nobles, such as members of the Thirteen Councils, might care about so many random things.
But after hearing what Rock said, they still threw their food aside. After all, Rock hadn't really cut off their food. If they wanted to eat, they could just find some dry rations.
The reason why the rat people are doing this now is simply because they haven't been able to change their past habits.
After eliminating the enemy forces at the camp and nearby outposts, Rock and his men continued along the mountain path, preparing to head to the distant gold mine.
The bandit camp here is nothing special, as it was just a place for panning for gold, and there was a small river next to it that is now frozen over.
The truly valuable mines are yet to come; if he's not mistaken, there should be a group of sorcerers who control the undead guarding that area!
Sure enough, just as Rock's troops were advancing, a lama who was meditating and chanting suddenly raised his head, and the strange human skin mask covering his face suddenly revealed a faint smile.
"We have distinguished guests!"
"Honored guest? Or perhaps an unwelcome guest?"
Several lamas were chatting and laughing there, seemingly not worried about their safety at all. They looked quite confident, and it was unclear where their confidence came from.
Looking around, as they shook their corpse-driving bells, the zombies who were busy mining gold ore in the distant mine emerged one after another. One by one, the zombies, whose hands and feet were severely worn from long hours of mechanical labor, slowly walked out, carrying tools such as picks and hammers.
At first glance, the number of these zombies seemed endless, numbering at least several thousand!
As he led his troops toward the distant gold mine, Rock suddenly sensed something amiss in his surroundings and frowned slightly.
He glanced at Lu Xiong beside him, but before he could speak, Lu Xiong suddenly frowned and said, "General, be careful! It seems like something is watching us around here!"
As he spoke, he glared angrily at a large tree in the distance, then casually pulled a small knife from his waist and threw it over in a flash.
Although Lu Xiong was not good at using throwing knives, with his precise control from martial arts training and physical fitness, the throwing knife still flew dozens of meters in an instant, and like an arrow released from a bow, it stuck to the tree with a clang!
Suddenly struck by a flying knife, the tree's branches twitched and twisted slightly, as if swaying in the wind, but there was no wind at all, so how could the tree move?
Seeing this bizarre sight, Rock was startled. Even the soldiers behind him raised their muskets and aimed them at the large tree in the distance, while the rat-men grenadiers held dimensional stone bombs in their hands.
However, after waiting for a while with no movement from the other side, after a few seconds of stiff silence, Rock waved his hand and said to the soldiers behind him, "Several men, go with the ratmen and see what's so strange about that tree."
Two Skaven grenadiers, one holding a bomb and the other a dagger, followed closely by several young guards carrying rifles, cautiously made their way past.
A short while later, they pried something off the tree and brought it back.
"General, look at this!"
Looking at the thing that the young guards had picked up with their bayonets, Rock felt a wave of nausea, because it was actually an eyeball that was still slightly wriggling!
Who knows why this eyeball is moving?
He noticed that the blood vessels on the eyeball appeared to have mutated, twitching like some kind of plant vine, and the size of the entire eyeball was also abnormal, definitely not the size of a human eyeball, almost the size of a fist.
Right in the center of the eyeball, the throwing knife that Lu Xiong had thrown earlier was embedded there, causing dark brown blood to slowly seep from the wound.
"Holy crap, what is this thing? It's disgusting!"
Rock waved his hand with disgust, signaling his soldiers to take the thing away. Lu Xiong, standing nearby, seemed thoughtful and speculated uncertainly, "Commander, I think this might be some kind of sorcery. Someone's probably using this to monitor us!"
Indeed, this thing looks like some kind of surveillance camera, but I wonder if it has any other purpose besides surveillance?
"Let's all be careful and stay alert. There's a chance some sorcerer has already discovered us!"
As soon as Rock finished speaking, all the soldiers behind him raised their rifles and looked around warily, while the cavalrymen drew their revolvers, ready to empty their magazines at any moment!
On the rest of the journey, Rock and his men slowed their march considerably, as they needed to ensure the safety of their surroundings to avoid being possessed by some evil spirit.
If the opponent were to actually use force, Rock wouldn't be afraid at all.
He refused to believe that his several hundred soldiers could not defeat the bandit army stationed there!
But what he feared most was what underhanded tricks the enemy might use, especially spells with bizarre effects and unknown principles.
If he were to fall for it by accident, he might not have a way to break free. Who knows just how bizarre these spells can be?
Although they didn't find any real enemies along the way, thanks to Lu Xiong's keen senses, they discovered several more eyeballs growing on large trees.
For these trees that have discovered eyeballs, after Rock and his men puncture the eyeballs, they will simply have the ratmen blow them up with dimensional stone bombs.
Regardless of whether this thing is a threat or not, it looks like a menace here. Let the dimensional stone purify it!
As for the radiation issue of the dimensional stone?
After the system limited the pollution effect of this thing, the radiation damage of the dimensional stone weapon was reduced to a minimum. As long as it is not embedded in the body, one will not be affected by the radiation and corrosion of the dimensional stone.
Before long, Rock and his group arrived at the halfway point of Wugoutou Mountain, where the gold mine was located.
He no longer needed to deliberately search for the enemy's location, because as far as the eye could see, there was a dark mass of living corpses everywhere.
"Hehehe, welcome everyone who has come from afar. May I ask what brings you all here?"
Just as Rock was still struggling with the number of undead, a hoarse voice suddenly came, and then the undead parted to make way for a tall figure.
Looking at the lama in the human skin mask riding in a sedan chair made of white bones, supported on the shoulders of a group of living corpses, Rock felt a chill run down his spine.
"Thunderclap! Open fire and blast him to smithereens!"
Are you kidding me? He brought so many people here, are they here to fight or to do business?
Since the fight has already begun, it's only natural to strike first.
Upon hearing Rock's order, a group of Thunderclap Bombs immediately opened fire, and a barrage of small bombs instantly fell among the zombies in the distance, raining down on the lama who was surrounded by them.
The lama was completely taken aback. He never expected that Rock would be so uncivilized, attacking him without even a word, and using a small cannon to fight him. He was momentarily stunned!
However, with just a slight lift of his hand, a bone shield instantly formed at the top of the white bone sedan chair, like a very elastic net, deflecting all the bombs that landed on it.
The bombs exploded among the undead, but the effect was not very good, because the power of the Thunderclap Bombs was ultimately too weak.
It's practically impossible to kill a zombie with the shrapnel damage from this thing. Ordinary shrapnel embedded in a zombie's body won't have any effect on these monsters at all.
The lama was shielded by the white bone palanquin, and seemed completely unharmed, showing no fear of the bombs.
"Damn, that's weird, this thing is actually pretty durable!"
Rock couldn't help but curse under his breath, then raised his hand again, preparing to throw a purple evil sun directly at the other side!
But before Rock could raise his hand, the lama on the other side suddenly started ringing his bell.
With a series of ringing sounds, a large group of zombies suddenly went berserk and rushed towards Rock and his group, disregarding the steep mountain path ahead.
The zombies kept rolling down the hillside due to the crowd, and some even fell off the cliff, but the lama didn't care at all, because these zombies that fell down could still climb back up and didn't cause any trouble.
Besides the zombies, two dark figures suddenly emerged from behind the lama and rushed toward where Rock and his group were at an astonishing speed.
