Chapter 42 Terrifying Enemy

Rain drizzled, and the mountains resembled dark ink.

The terrain here was somewhat similar to that of the Alps, giving the impression of "four seasons on one mountain, different skies every ten *li*."

The foot of the mountain was summer, the foothills were spring, the mountainside was autumn, and the peaks were winter.

At the foot of these Misty Mountains, the grass was lush, the birds sang, and clear springs gurgled.

A profusion of flowers bloomed: irises, winter jasmine, large clusters of small yellow *feng li teng* flowers, and clumps of crimson *shuo jing* flowers. The air was filled with a faint floral fragrance. Taking a deep breath seemed to purify the spirit.

Aside from the unique plants of this Lord of the Rings world, even the slope's curve was rounded and gentle, like the full, soft curve of a woman's breast. Even glancing at it was a feast for the eyes.

However, the corpses that suddenly appeared on the grassy slope disrupted this beautiful scene and seemed out of place, like someone had urinated directly on a famous painting, spoiling the view.

In particular, all of these corpses were grinning, their faces twisted in horror, even revealing their gums. Their skin was pale all over, and each of them had a large, bloody hole in their throat. It seemed the murderer not only sucked blood but also gnawed on flesh. They appeared to be deep tooth marks, giving an indescribable sense of horror.

Without exception, all of these corpses were elves—though their terrifying appearance made it impossible to associate them with beauty and elegance—their distinctly pointed ears completely betrayed their identities.

Fang Senyan examined the corpse in front of him again, his mood growing heavier. Although the entire corpse had shrunk to only one meter in size, Fang Senyan could still recognize him as Elder Diesis Rootbeard, who had previously chatted and laughed with him, his amiability tempered with dignity. In addition, Master Anair Soother was also among the other corpses...

By this reckoning, nearly all of the direct subordinates of Mu Ge, the Mist Song girl, who had come with him had been killed!

More importantly, the escape route Fang Senyan had arranged earlier was not in this direction. Even Fang Senyan had only found the correct path by using some pre-arranged secret markers, which was enough to show that this group of people had been forced to flee in this direction and had not even had the chance to turn around and escape.

There were no signs of fighting around the corpses, which could only mean one thing: the enemy was so powerful that they possessed an overwhelming advantage!

In the face of this guy, the elves didn't even have a chance to resist! As for why the corpses appeared one by one, it was because they knew they were no match but stayed behind to fight the enemy with their lives and buy time out of loyalty to Mu Ge.

"Judging from the way these guys died, did they encounter vampires? But these creatures have never appeared in the Lord of the Rings!" Fang Senyan thought rapidly in his mind as he hurried to catch up.

"It can't be ruled out that it's the Ringwraiths' special ability to suck blood and flesh... Then Reef is in trouble—but logically speaking, the Witch-king of Angmar, the leader of the Ringwraiths, hasn't come. The strength of Galadriel, Glorfindel, and Legolas is enough to give them the upper hand in a 1v1 fight against a Ringwraith, not to mention the mysterious Elrond?"

"At their level, it's not difficult to defeat an opponent, but killing them requires overwhelming strength. In other words, to trap these four people to death, the eight Ringwraiths must join forces. How could the Ringwraiths prioritize chasing down Mu Ge over the bigger picture?"

Just as Fang Senyan was lost in thought, he suddenly realized that the team channel had been connected, indicating that Reef had entered his range of about one kilometer. Fang Senyan immediately shouted:

"Reef! Where are you?"

Reef immediately said in a hoarse voice, panting:

"Don't come, leave quickly, don't come to die in vain. The enemy we are facing now is unimaginably terrifying!"

Fang Senyan's heart shook:

"I'm already a reserve colonizer, can't I come?"

Reef chuckled bitterly and choked:

"That's because you don't know who the enemy is! A guy you would never expect!"

Fang Senyan said seriously:

"Who is he?"

Reef gasped and said:

"He is Elrond."

Fang Senyan said in surprise:

"How could this be? Elrond... Why is he chasing you? Also, I saw many dried corpses along the way, all of them are our people. Did Elrond do it?"

Reef greedily sucked in air. The sound of his breathing suggested each inhale was the last breath of his life.

"That's right, it was him. The Elrond in front of us now is no longer the king of Rivendell, but a terrifying beast..."

"Coordinates, location," Fang Senyan said coldly.

Reef also heard the determination in his voice, so he gave the address. It turned out that they were not far from Fang Senyan at this time, in the dense forest on the right mountain.

Fang Senyan hurried over, but just as he was about to reach his destination, Fang Senyan's whole body shook violently. The surface of his body sparkled with golden light, the sign that Life Link had been activated, which meant that Reef had been brought to a near-death state!

At the thought of this, Fang Senyan rushed over even more frantically, striding through the sparse forest. After running another one or two hundred meters, he immediately smelled a pungent bloody odor, and then he saw Elrond's tall back, walking step by step towards Mu Ge, the Mist Song girl, not far away. Elrond's walking posture looked a bit strange, as if his joints were a bit stiff.

And Mu Ge, the Mist Song girl, for some reason, looked completely weak and leaned against the big tree next to her, but her head was proudly raised high. Even at this time, there was a stubborn will to never surrender! Reef was protected by the golden light of Life Link. Naturally, he looked as disheveled as possible.

At this time, Fang Senyan had already fully released the ability of the Virus Monarch!

The elves had a very special sense of the Virus Monarch's powerful ability. Immediately, Mu Ge and the two surviving elves raised their heads at the same time, their eyes filled with disbelief, but Elrond didn't seem to sense anything. When Fang Senyan saw this, his heart suddenly stirred, and he had already guessed the general cause of the matter. He had now approached within twenty meters behind Elrond, and had already drawn out Ambition, activated Rum Song, and pulled the trigger!

With a loud "boom," smoke curled up, and the fatal lead bullet had shot Elrond staggering forward. The dizziness effect was actually effective on him!

At this time, Fang Senyan had already rushed to Reef's side and applied a continuous recovery bandage worth three thousand points, which could restore a thousand points of health within a minute, of course, provided that it was not interrupted by an attack.

At this moment, Elrond suddenly turned around, his eyes flashing with extremely ferocious light, and suddenly let out a series of extremely shrill roars at Fang Senyan. At this time, Fang Senyan couldn't help but tremble in his heart when he looked at Elrond's appearance.

The former Elrond was tall and burly, with a dignified bearing, and naturally had an awe-inspiring demeanor. Even if he was half-dead from illness before, he still had a deep and gloomy aura of a hero.

But the only feeling that the current Elrond gave was ferocity! The ferocity of a beast, greedy and hungry!

At this time, his skin was an eerie pale purple and white, with many nail-sized spots on the surface. At first glance, they looked like age spots, but upon closer inspection, they were traces of large clumps of bruises.

The most obvious change was in his ears. The pointed ears of his elven bloodline had disappeared, replaced by rotten, rounded ears. The facial features such as his mouth, nostrils, and eyes had begun to be strongly eroded. His sharp teeth looked particularly dazzling and terrifying, with two pale, dry bloodstains flowing straight down from the corners of his mouth.

Fang Senyan took a deep breath, and his chest once again emitted light. After the fierce battle with Drogba, Fang Senyan's awakened state still had a full three hours before it would end. At this time, Fang Senyan had been running all the way and had recovered to his best state!

Suddenly, Fang Senyan felt a blur in front of him. Elrond had already approached in front of him, the nails on his right hand were extremely sharp, as sharp as the claws of a beast, and carrying a strong mass of black light, he fiercely clawed at Fang Senyan. At this time, Fang Senyan did not hesitate, did not dodge, did not avoid, and grunted, taking Elrond's attack head-on, but immediately raised his knife to counterattack, and slashed fiercely on Elrond's shoulder.

With this slash, Fang Senyan only felt that the blade was not cutting flesh at all, but thick leather, and the sound was a muffled "crack." Elrond's claw gave Fang Senyan more than one hundred and forty points of damage. If it had been before, this attack alone would have taken away at least one-tenth of Fang Senyan's health! Only seven or eight similar attacks would have put Fang Senyan in an extremely dangerous situation.

No wonder Reef didn't want Fang Senyan to come and die, because Reef also knew deeply that Fang Senyan's previous task of luring the enemy was by no means easy. He should have used all his trump cards, used both the Honor Potion and the team ability, and coming here was like an arrow at the end of its flight. For the previous Fang Senyan, any enemy that dealt more than one hundred points of actual damage to him was very threatening and lethal.
