Chapter 1018 The Cursed Dragon and His Human Knight (5)

The Cursed Dragon and His Human Knight (V)

"Boom."

In the east the sky was filled with crimson clouds, but in the west dark clouds and thundering thunder were everywhere.

The Delai Empire uses the Elf Forest to divide the east and west boundaries. The more eastward the territory is, the more prosperous it is. There are dense elven vaults and wizard towers, and even branches of the Church of Light are spread across almost every small town. This is the prosperous Eastern Empire.

There are also various magical gems in abundance here, and the existing mineral resources are quite abundant, which is one of the reasons why the Delai Empire can be so powerful.

But when you cross the Forest of Elves and reach the Western Empire, the situation is completely different.

Starting from the Forest of Elves, the further west you go, the more common swamps, wastelands, and deserts are. Only near the outermost Forest of Warcraft can you vaguely see traces of the forest. This also leads to the fact that there are almost no human towns in the Western Empire.

Apart from a few fortresses specially established by the empire, there is only a small town at the entrance of the Warcraft Forest, the Mercenary Town.

The reason why this border town can still stand today is very simple. It is closest to the Warcraft Forest, and almost all mercenaries have to pass through here to capture Warcraft.

Set out to buy dry food, repair the team on the way, rest and hand in the task after completing it. Although it is just a small town, there are mercenaries appearing every day, so naturally all kinds of people will stay here to develop, which is why this town is called Mercenary Town.

The westernmost part of the mercenary town is the entrance to the Warcraft Forest, and a little further south is a poisonous swamp.

Few people pass by here. Except for the occasional herbalist who collects herbs, almost no one comes here.

The heavy rain poured down on the swamp, but made no sound.

Water vapor and thick fog filled the sky above the entire swamp. Water droplets fell into the poisonous pool of the swamp and seemed to be swallowed up, making no sound at all.

There was a noise in a small corner of the poisonous pool. A reptile slowly approached, and a long blood trail spread outward from the edge of the swamp, as if something was crawling out of the swamp.

Song Ning fell in a pool of blood and mud, his lips dry and cracked, bleeding, his face as pale as a piece of paper, as if he had stopped breathing.

His limbs were covered with scars, including bites from insects and snakes, scratches from gravel, and marks from being beaten.

One of his eyes even nearly popped out of its socket, flickering with a stubborn light.

Even now, there is still a desire for life in these eyes.

Song Ning doesn't want to die.

There is no one in this world who wants to die. Maybe there is, but that person is definitely not Song Ning.

Although he came from a poor family, he was full of curiosity and expectations about the world.

And he wants revenge.

Ignoring the pain in his chest from possibly broken ribs, Song Ning took a deep breath and gathered his strength, then used his fingers, which had lost most of their sensitivity, to try and find a bottle of potion in his hair.

"Haha, cough cough!"

His lips turned even paler due to the pain, but his one intact eye was full of admiration for himself.

He had advised Alpha to carry some life-saving scrolls and potions with him in addition to magic storage, but Alpha thought he was making a fuss and refused.

"N-You didn't expect that?"

Song Ning struggled to bite open the stopper of the medicine bottle with his mouth. The medicine, like a pool of poison, poured into his mouth. The sour, spicy, bitter and fishy tastes all hit his entire mouth, and his broken nose suddenly became unblocked again.

Rays of light intertwined and shone from his body. The scars on Song Ning's body gradually healed, and he struggled to slowly sit up from the ground.

"My initial thoughts turned out to be correct. The random teleportation magic scroll and a bottle of top-grade recovery potion produced by the Temple of Light, these six thousand gold coins can indeed save a life."

There was hatred and deep sadness in his eyes.

Alpha, you would never have thought that these things of mine that you looked down upon in the past would one day allow me to escape from your clutches.

Fate is so wonderful.
