All-Professional Master of Darkness - Chapter 385
c385 save people
There are quite a few people in this ruin. The professions that Lan Wu recognized include witch doctors, crusaders, and all new professions except barbarians and demon hunters. There are roughly 17 or 18 people in total.
These professionals are scattered around the ruins, forming a defensive formation. No matter which direction the enemy attacks, they can react and organize a counterattack in the first time.
Boya was not captured alone. There were four other people captured with him. A paladin, a mage, and two druids. They were covered with wounds, obviously resisted when they were captured, and were forcibly suppressed.
Seeing that the witch doctors who went out brought back a stranger wearing a black cloak and whose face could not be seen clearly, everyone seemed careless on the surface, but secretly put their hands on the weapons beside them intentionally or unintentionally.
“Humph.” Lan Wu snorted heavily when he saw this, and raised his hand to summon five ghost dolls. Since he had planned to pretend to be a big shot in the Zakarum Revival Society, he had to act to the end. It’s a pity that few witch doctors’ skills have excellent sound and light effects. If they were replaced by magicians or crusaders, it would not be a big deal to shock these rookies who have only mastered a few low-level skills at most.
As soon as the five ghost dolls appeared, they immediately pounced on the nearest few people fiercely. Those people were chosen by Lan Wu as the chickens to kill the chickens to scare the monkeys. They immediately jumped up with screams and fought with the five ghost dolls.
“My Lord!” The witch doctor in the lead was panicked and looked at Lan Wu beggingly. As a witch doctor, he certainly knew that the most powerful part of the witch doctor was the various skills with negative effects. With summoned creatures as the main force, supplemented by various skills with strong weakening effects, it is often invincible. He didn’t want these guys who were sent to his subordinates to die in his own hands. That would affect his position in the organization.
Lan Wu glanced at him lightly and then recalled the five ghost dolls. The five ghost dolls jumped out of the battle group and returned to Lan Wu’s side, still baring their teeth and claws, issuing waves of low threats.
At this time, everyone looked at Lan Wu with a strange look in their eyes. Everyone saw the battle just now clearly. The five ghost dolls were quite powerful. Although the fight ended quickly, the five companions who were the opponents were already in a mess, with more or less red on their heads and faces.
“Who are they?” Lan Wu stood on his prestige and glanced at Boya and others who were tied up like dumplings and thrown in the corner.
“They are surviving humans.” The witch doctor in the lead hurriedly offered his courtesy and explained the origins of Boya and others in detail.
It was also Boya and others who were unlucky. These people from the Zakarum Revival Society came to the Demon Fortress not long ago. Their duty is to capture those ghosts who have not exhausted their soul power after several years. Boya and others had just gone out to collect food and unfortunately met them. After a short battle, the old profession has become outdated after all. Even though these rookies only learned a few low-level skills, Boya and his men were still defeated and captured alive.
“Sir, there are a lot of experimental materials required by the higher-ups. So we want to torture the whereabouts of other survivors.” The witch doctor looked at Lan Wu hesitantly, worried that this big shot would intercept them halfway.
Catching ghosts is their job, and catching survivors is also a great achievement. If you search for the survivors here, you may even be able to get close to the big shots in the organization. As a low-level person who is trying hard to climb up, of course you have to be prepared for both. If you can’t get close to the big shot in front of you, you have to leave yourself a way out.
“Well done.” Lan Wu lowered his voice, making his tone extremely gloomy, and he sounded unhappy.
Hearing Lan Wu’s low tone, the witch doctor was immediately disappointed. Damn, this is the rhythm of intercepting. He smiled and laughed dryly: “Of course, this is all the good luck brought by you, sir. I will immediately torture them to find out the whereabouts of other survivors…”
“Enough. I just need some experimental materials.” Lan Wu raised his head with a faint smile on his lips.
This scene happened to be seen by Boya. This professional dad who has to worry about everything is not stupid. When he saw Lan Wu’s appearance clearly, he immediately curbed his inner ecstasy, squeezed out an angry look, and cursed: “You will definitely be punished.”
“Shut up!” A crusader next to him cursed and kicked Boya. He was also a smart guy. He knew that Lan Wu had selected these captives and kicked Boya’s thickest part. There was no effect except a little pain.
“I’m going to take them back.” Lan Wu ordered coldly, and at the same time walked to Boya and squatted down: “While they are still alive, I need to complete the last step of the experiment.”
The other four captives obviously didn’t know Lan Wu’s identity. When they heard that they were going to be used for experiments, they immediately struggled in anger. One dirty word after another hit Lan Wu.
“We have to survive.” Boya suppressed his inner ecstasy and turned his head to shout at the captives. His prestige was obviously very high. After a word, the others shut their mouths in dismay, staring at Lan Wu with angry eyes that could burn steel.
“It’s good to be energetic.” Lan Wu smiled meaningfully, stood up and turned to the witch doctor: “Prepare for me, I want to take them back.”
The witch doctor was stunned, and the look he gave Lan Wu became strange. And the others also looked at Lan Wu in astonishment, as if they had heard a fact that could not exist at all.
“Hmm?” Lan Wu’s heart skipped a beat, and he secretly wondered if he had failed to act out the trick. Judging from the expressions of these people, it seemed that they came to the Demon Fortress from the Kurast Harbor not through some props or magic circles, but through their own abilities.
“Sir… Sir, I will arrange it right away.” The witch doctor immediately came to his senses, nodded and bowed, and retreated.
“Hmm.” Lan Wu pretended to be calm, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although the people present were all worthless, there were indeed quite a few of them. With the addition of Boya and the other five burdens, they couldn’t move freely. If they were not careful, they might even capsize.
At this time, other people also avoided this area. For these low-level people, it is certainly a happy thing to meet a big shot in the organization. But if the other person is not approachable, it’s another matter. The more you talk, the more mistakes you make, and the less you talk, the fewer mistakes you make. To be able to gain a foothold in the organization, you still have this self-knowledge.
“Listen to my instructions later.” Lan Wu saw that those people were far away, and lowered his voice to tell them. Things were a bit strange, so just in case, we still needed to give Boya and the others a shot of prevention in advance, so as not to be caught off guard and lose our composure.
Boya knew that now was not the time to reminisce about the past, so he gave a knowing look, indicating that he knew. The other four saw the brief exchange between the two, and a flash of surprise flashed in their eyes, and then they understood.
One of their own.
To them, suddenly seeing one of their own in despair was as exciting as finding a small house with countless food and firewood stored in the snow.
At this time, the witch doctor came over with a flattering face and said attentively: “My lord, it’s ready.”
