Chapter 690 Poison
Abel sensed 3 powerful auras: elite priest Dono and 2 other elite priests.
Elite priest Dono was fast. Even though Black Wind was still a little faster, they couldn’t fully escape from him.
Still, there was another elite priest even faster than elite priest Dono. He was so fast that Abel thought he was flying instead of running.
“Black Wind, faster!’ Abel yelled.
Black Wind listened to the instructions and unleashed its full force. An air penetrating sound erupted, and White Snow had also accelerated.
The 3 barriers did not ha.s.sle Abel. With White Snow’s powerful impact, all defense circles and orcs exploded away with one strike.
The last barrier had been broken, and Abel finally saw the scenery outside. However, as soon as White Snow was out of Nam Mountain, a bone spear speeded towards it. Although White Snow’s speed was scary, that spear caught it off guard. At that time, it was just starting to relax after completing Abel’s instruction.
The time was just right; White Snow could not dodge.
White Snow let out a screech of agony, and the bone spear penetrated its body. Although White Snow’s feather could block arrows, it could not block a bone spear from an Elite priest.
“White Snow!” Abel was also out of the Nam Mountain, and he was just in time to see all of this take place.
It was too bad Abel could not use a full recovery potion on White Snow immediately. If he did that, the orcs would definitely tell the orc empire that he had something that could heal all injuries in a flash.
White Snow was hurt quite badly, but it could still fly as long as they could go a little further. He could help White Snow treat its wounds.
Abel spotted some eagles in the sky. On top of it was an elite priest. It was he who just attacked White Snow.
The Pace eagle was a giant eagle, the fastest flying mount of the orc empire. Due to complications when breeding them, they had always been scarce. Only a small number of orcs had them.
With a Pace eagle like this, Abel might not be able to escape from the orcs even if he started flying. White Snow had taken a big hit in it’s fighting ability. Also, it was out of it’s most familiar frozen landscapes. Therefore, there were a lot of fighting techniques it could not use.
“White Snow, come back!” Abel called through the soul chain.
The injured White Snow wanted to seek revenge, but it immediately flew back as soon as it heard Abel’s command.
Abel took out a green bottle from his portal bracelet. It was a poison combined through his Horadric Cube.
White Snow began to shrink as it arrived back at Abel’s side. Afterward, it landed on Abel’s shoulder.
Abel then violently threw the bottle of poison towards the sky and took out his rune bow, Rip hook. An arrow speeded out.
The arrow made contact with the bottle, and all the Horadric cube combined poison was blasted out, forming a green poison cloud.
Abel threw the bottle precisely. It directly blocked the path where the Pace eagle was heading while at the same time locking down the exit of Nam Mountain.
In normal circ.u.mstances, all that Pace eagle needed to do was take a bigger turn to avoid the poison cloud and keep chasing after Abel.
However, this Elite priest was one of the very few elite priests who specialized in making poison. Its research made him almost immune to all poison, so he decided to speed through the cloud to chase after Abel.
Soon, he began to regret his decision as his entire body began to feel numb. He had been poisoned.. he quickly gulped down an antidote, but it was useless. The numbness intensified.
Although a Pace eagle’s body was a little stronger than an elite priest, it too was breathing in way too much poisonous gas. It could no longer move its wings. In a screech of agony, it fell straight towards the ground.
Luckily they weren’t flying too high. The impact did not hurt them too badly; it just made them look quite bad. However, the poison effect was still intensifying.
Meanwhile, elite priest Dono was almost out of the Nam mountain. Soon, he would punt straight into the poisonous cloud as well.
However, the moment he saw that elite priest on the Pace eagle cashed towards the ground; he cunningly stopped his stone iron monster. Although it was going at an immense speed, it had somehow violated the law of physics and came to a halt when it got the message.
Elite priest Dono was only around 1 meters from the poison cloud. If he were just a split second late, he would be poisoned as well.
He commanded a skeleton to enter the cloud. Although it was extremely quick at first, it got slower with each step after it picked up the other elite priest from within.
“b.a.s.t.a.r.d, which elite priest had helped this b.a.s.t.a.r.d? This poison is deformed!” Elite priest Dono said furiously.
It was extremely rare for a poison to affect skeletons. Only priests that specialized in poison had things like this. Normal poisons were quite specific when it came to their damage.
Just like blood solidifying poison, for example. It could solidify the blood of a being, killing them. Or poisons that target muscles that could make a being’s muscle lose mobility. There were also many more poison that could suffocate a being.
However, a skeleton did not have muscle, blood, and it didn’t need any oxygen. Most poisons in the Holy Continent were useless towards them. However, a poison made by a priest that specialized in poison could make something that targets the elements.
Poison elemental attacks were unavoidable, and skeletons were no exception.
Elite Priest Dono would not believe any other race could make something like this other than a priest that specialized in poison. Like the human wizards or the elven druids, their skills had only reached their level after countless years of inheritance.
Poison making was no exception. You could not increase the strength of poison just by some simple research. You needed an entire specialized school of people. Even the orc priests themselves could not learn poison making any time they wanted, let alone other races.
Therefore, Elite priest Dono was sure another orc priest had contributed to this. Of course, this was all because he never doubted Abel’s ident.i.ty as a worgen.
When that skeleton was only around 5 meters from the edge of the poison cloud, it suddenly dropped into a pile of scattered bones.
Elite priest Dono’s heart was torn, tears began to roll down. Every one of his skeletons had a long history. It took him tens of years to produce a single one with the power of a human Head Commander.
This loss was basically tearing tens of years of effort from him. His fighting power had taken a big hit.
However, saving that other elite priest was a must. The sooner he got him out of the poison cloud, the less damage the poison would have on the body. The chance of surviving would also increase.
Therefore, he picked out another skeleton to enter the cloud to drag the elite priest out.
He gazed at his poisoned skeleton, the other elite priest, as well as that pile of scattered bones. He helplessly yelled, “Beecher, I don’t care where you go, I will capture you even in the edge of the universe and wipe out your entire family.
Abel did not expect to poison an elite priest just by a careless throw like that, but he no longer had time to turn and look. He had already memorized everything 10 miles out. It was at that moment; he spotted large amounts of orcs entering his range.
He needed to get out as soon as possible and find an unnoticeable place to treat White Snow’s wound.
Elite Priest Dono handed the poisoned priest to the orcs behind him who had just arrived. There would be other experienced priests specialized in poison to help him defuse the poison.
