Elden Ring, but with Wind Spirit Moon Shadow

Chapter 131 Corrupted Dependents
No matter what the situation is.

Since the other party has come to him, Bai Shi would not think about having a good talk with them.

There is a way to deal with humans.

But the best way to deal with these corrupt relatives is to kill them all.

If it is a human who comes to the door, then Bai Shi will definitely try his best to distinguish right from wrong, good from evil, to avoid any misunderstanding or conspiracy.

Although Baishi has always advocated peaceful coexistence among all races.

But this is for normal races.

These corrupt followers living in the scarlet corruption obviously cannot coexist with other normal races.

They are terrorists who want to cover the entire world with scarlet corruption and turn the border area into their paradise.

There is nothing to say to them. The dead corrupt relatives are the good corrupt relatives.

Unless one day, they can abandon the scarlet corruption and become a normal race living in the borderland.

Only then will Bai Shi consider treating them normally.

In the brief moment when Baizhi's thoughts were spreading, the corrupt followers had already launched their offensive.

The corrupt followers in the back raised their hands in rows and shot silk threads from their chest organs towards Baizhi.

Those strands of insect silk shot towards Bai Shi quickly like homing missiles.

And the corrupt followers in the front holding swords and halberds also rushed forward.

Driven by the densely packed tiny limbs beneath their bodies, they crawl rapidly along the ground, and their posture looks like they are gliding.

The corrupt followers quickly surrounded Bai Shi who stepped out of the hut.

The swords and halberds in his hands crossed and swung towards Bai Shi's vital points.

If facing an ordinary opponent, they would probably have no power to resist such an attack.

Attacks came from all directions, and those near and far coordinated with each other.

But in Bai Shi's opinion, this is not even a warm-up.

Under the sweeping storm, the insect silk was swept away before it could even get close to Bai Shi.

Because Hilbert's cabin was behind him, Bai Shi was worried that it would be destroyed by accident, so he did not increase the intensity of the storm and only used it for protection.

Bai Shi wielded the sword and spear in his hands tightly, blocking all the sword attacks.

Those swords and halberds made from shells and bones are just the lowest level weapons.

Without exception, they were easily cut off after colliding with swords and spears.

After the weapons were broken, the corrupt followers of Bai Shi did not surrender.

Suddenly, silk threads burst out from their bodies and scattered towards Bai Zhi at an extremely close distance.

Because it exploded suddenly, it was not as powerful as the power released by the corrupt followers in the distance.

Unfortunately, these sudden insect silks are also useless to Bai Shi.

Bai Shi's current control over the storm is completely worthy of the title of Storm King.

As long as it is a tangible long-range attack, it can be intercepted by the storm without exception.

Not only that, but it can also be used for its own benefit by changing the direction of flow, especially something as light as insect silk.

The silk threads were tangled up by the rapid storm and deviated from their original target.

As the storm deflected, the rays of light shot onto the other corrupt followers, creating holes in their bodies.

Bai Shi was also not idle, wielding his sword and spear to slaughter the corrupt followers around him.

A casual sweep of the sword or spear could neatly split the bodies of these corrupt followers in two.

Some corrupt followers wanted to launch a sneak attack from the left when Bai Shi swung his sword and spear.

But Bai Shi just swung his fist, and the body of the corrupt follower shattered and cracked, flying backwards.

The corrupt followers who released the silk threads in the rear saw that the guards in the front had died one by one, and suddenly they lost the courage to continue fighting.

Seeing how powerful Bai Shi was, these corrupt followers had already begun to retreat.

But how could Bai Shi let them go?
These corrupt dependents in the rear were still some distance away from the cottage.

Enough space had been left so there was no need to worry about damaging Hilbert's cabin.

Bai Shi brandished his sword and spear, and wind blades flew out from the sword and spear one after another, flying towards those corrupt followers.

The retreating corrupt followers were easily cut off by these wind blades, splashing sticky juice.

After dealing with all the enemies, Bai Shi was as if nothing had happened.

He walked back to the cabin, sat back down, and continued to wait for Hilbert to finish packing.

The corrupt followers are not strong, probably about the same level as ordinary human soldiers.

Although their bodies are not as hard as the soldiers' armor.

However, they have long-range means such as silk, which have many advantages over bows and arrows.

Also, their mobility in crawling using their limbs is unmatched by ordinary soldiers.

If the soldiers were allowed to fight these corrupt dependents one-on-one, they could basically win easily.

If the same number of troops fight against each other.

Although the silkworm silk will be troublesome, the human soldiers' army will definitely win in the end.

It just seems that the corrupt followers have a strong reproductive capacity.

If one day humans really go to war with the corrupt followers, the number of corrupt followers will probably far exceed that of human troops.

Hilbert was disturbed and came downstairs to check belatedly.

But when she came down, all she saw was the missing door and the rotting corpses of her relatives scattered all over the ground outside.

"What's going on? They actually came to our door?"

"Oh, I'm so sorry. You're a guest who came from far away, but I caused you to take action."

Bai Shi shook his head and told Hilbert that it was just a stretch and he didn't need to worry about it.

To Bai Shi, these corrupt followers are really weak.

Then, Bai Shi asked Hilbert:

"What was that new research material you mentioned earlier?"

"The mucus on your hands when you came out was somewhat similar to what came out of these guys' bodies."

Hilbert answered truthfully:

"Well, you guessed it right, it's them."

"I used some tricks to steal some of their eggs and larvae."

"This creature is actually quite interesting, and there are many things that can be studied."

"Look at these limbs on their bodies. Each one is as thin as a tentacle, but if you look closely, they all look like human hands."

Bai Shi showed a strange expression when he heard this.

Whether it was in the game of the previous life or what I see now.

As for these disgusting creatures, Bai Shi always wanted to get rid of them quickly or simply ignore them, and never observed them carefully.

Following Hilbert's instructions, Bai Shi walked outside the house to observe the limbs of these corrupt followers.

It turned out to be just as she said.

Pale and thin limbs like puppet arms grew out of that body.

The five fingers at the end were clearly spread out, hanging from the body like tentacles.

Bai Shi frowned.

"These things are a bit disgusting. How could you have the heart to do them?"

These corrupt minions are as disgusting as cockroaches, and they will grow wherever there is scarlet corruption.

In the past, most people have tacitly equated them with cockroaches.

Hilbert smiled.

"If you want to defeat the enemy, you must understand the enemy."

"For someone as powerful as you, this is of course not necessary. Anyway, no matter what, everything is meaningless in front of strength."

"But for us prop masters, we will definitely want to use the materials at hand to make props that can cause greater damage to the opponent."

Hilbert licked his lips and showed a longing expression.

"Although I have not experienced the defense of the royal city during the Shattered War, the incense and medicine made by those senior perfumers are very effective."

"As long as we put it in the giant scented arrow and let the giant golem in the city shoot it, it will spread the poison gas. It has resisted the attack of the army."

"If possible, I also hope to make weapons against these disgusting guys. If not, at least we have to understand what kind of attacks they are afraid of." "These guys are disgusting, they are corrupt loyalists, and they are very radical."

"No other normal creatures can survive where they are. They will force other creatures to accept the scarlet corruption and kill all those who don't accept it."

"Before you came, I had fought with them several times, but my residence had never been exposed."

After saying this, Hilbert suddenly propped his chin with one hand and began to think.

"Come to think of it, why did you come to my house this time? It's really strange."

"It may be because there may be some connection between them and the eggs and larvae, so they came to our house... Interesting, I wonder how they communicate with each other."

As he was talking, Hilbert suddenly began to show interest in other things and started thinking on his own.

Bai Shi listened to Hilbert's words and felt that she was trying to make something like insecticide.

But it always feels unrealistic.

The corrupt followers are inseparable from the scarlet corruption, and ordinary poisons are completely useless to them.

"Have you packed your things?"

Bai Shi interrupted Hilbert's self-contemplating thoughts.

Now that the location has been discovered, it's time to move away from here.

Bai Shi doesn't want to stay here as a bodyguard forever.

After bringing Hilbert to a safe place, it was time to go to Gaileed and explore.

As for where is the safest place nearby, it is of course Red Lion City.

As the headquarters of the Red Lion Legion that resists the scarlet corruption, it has sufficient troops on its own.

Moreover, it is now just before the battle festival, where the world's top experts will gather.

Hilbert snapped his fingers and nodded.

"Well, it's almost time, let's get ready to go."

"Wait for me a moment."

After saying this, Hilbert returned upstairs and after a while, brought down two very large packages.

Bai Shi raised his eyebrows.

"How are you going to carry so many things?"

"Let's make it clear in advance that Torrett can't carry so much luggage."

Hilbert blinked, somewhat curious about the name.

"Toret, is that the horse's name? What a nice name."

"Don't worry, I don't need your help. I have my own way."

"If you don't have some skills, you won't be able to survive in Gaileed."

Hilbert walked out of the house, reached into his pocket, took out a bone flute, and blew it.

Soon, a giant dog came running from the distant wasteland.

This giant dog was different from other dogs of its kind. Its fur was very shiny and it looked much cleaner, with few traces of scarlet decay on its body.

Except for the right eye, where there was a huge wound, the entire eye was gone.

The giant dog came in front of Hilbert and lay on the ground obediently, so Bai Shi could also see the saddle on its high back.

Hilbert touched the giant dog's head and introduced it to Bai Shi.

"Giant dogs and giant crows are species native to Galid. They are very adaptable and quickly adapted to the scarlet corrupt environment."

"Although they are corrupted by the scarlet corruption, they can be tamed."

"Those bugs will tame these giant crows and giant dogs to help them work."

"After I picked up the injured one, I treated it and tried to tame it. I tamed it quite smoothly."

"By the way, I also tried to treat it with scarlet corruption, and the effect was surprisingly good."

"It's just that it can't be completely cured. It may be because it has carried the scarlet corruption from its parents since birth."

Bai Shi nodded.

The giant dogs and giant crows should indeed not be species mutated by scarlet corruption.

Because these two species exist in the distant snow-capped mountains.

There are traces of giant activities in both the Snow Mountains and Gelid. Perhaps they were once the pets of the giants.

Hilbert hung the two huge bags on the side of the giant dog, then picked up Xiaohu and sat on the saddle together.

Bai Shi also rode on Torret and prepared to set off.

Bai Shi pointed to the small house behind.

"What are you going to do with this room? There should be a lot of stuff left in it."

Hilbert shook his head.

"Never mind. I left presents in there for those bugs."

“It would be interesting if they came to us.”

As if he had thought of what would happen in the future, Hilbert laughed out loud, then quickly stopped.

Bai Shi shrugged. Since the owner of the house said so, let’s go.

"Then let's go too."

"I am more familiar with Gallid, so let me lead the way."

Hilbert led the way on his giant dog.

The giant dog wasn't very fast, so Torrett was able to keep up with it easily.
-
The corrupt relatives were filled with anger when they saw the tragic state of their companions' corpses at the door.

Although they are insect-like creatures, they actually possess quite amazing intelligence and are highly social.

They gathered up the bodies of their companions and prepared to carry them away when they returned.

Then he broke into the hut where someone had just been.

Following the pheromones left by their fellow tribesmen, they came to the second floor of the cabin.

There were several eggs that had not yet hatched and the corpses of their larvae.

This was all that Hilbert had stolen previously.

They picked up the corpses lovingly, but this triggered a mechanism that would lead to their destruction.

Under the corpse was a bottle cap of spark incense, and when it came into contact with the air, it exploded violently.

At first there were only a few sparks of incense, but the subsequent explosion ignited all the other bottles and jars of incense left in the room.

Flames, explosions, poisons...all kinds of fragrances filled the room.

Hilbert took away only a small portion of the incense and medicine, and left the rest, which she had accumulated over many years, to her corrupt followers, as they were going to be thrown away anyway.

Soon, the whole house turned into a roiling fireball.

Bai Shi and Hilbert, who had already run very far away, also heard a loud explosion.

"Haha, it looks like it worked."

"Oh! Look, it's beautiful."

Hilbert looked back and shouted excitedly.

Originally, Bai Shi adhered to the principle that a real man never looks back at an explosion, and did not want to watch it.

But in the end, he couldn't help but looked back.

I saw that the hut was already burning fiercely, and violent explosions were still rising. The green and purple poison dyed the explosions, just like gorgeous fireworks.

"Oh, it really looks like fireworks."

"Fireworks, what are those?"

Bai Shi suddenly realized that he had let something slip.

But it’s nothing.

"Nothing. It's an ornamental object in my hometown. Gunpowder will explode in the sky with all kinds of brilliant colors, but it's not meant to hurt anyone, but for people to appreciate."

Hilbert was somewhat surprised when he heard Bai Shi's story.

There are few such entertainment props in the border area, and even if there are, they are probably exclusive to princes and nobles.

But if what Bai Shi said goes, there will be brilliantly colored fireworks exploding in the sky, then probably countless people can enjoy it together.

"I see. These tools are not made to hurt anyone. I like these tools too."

"If I have the chance, I'll try making the fireworks you mentioned."

　I have described the ecological environment and species habits of Gayleed as best as I can_(:з」∠)_
