Diablo traveled through time and became a necromancer

Chapter 23 The Great Southern Forest!

"Children, be careful along the way. May the blind eye watch over you. This is a teleportation rune specially made by the Mage Guild. Its effect is the same as a Town Portal Scroll, but it only lasts for one minute and will protect you within the range of the teleportation array. I hope Cain and you are safe!"

Vera took the teleport rune back to the city from Akara and put it into her backpack.

"Don't worry, Grandma Akara! We will definitely rescue Grandpa Kane! Let's not waste any time! Let's set off now!"

Wu Ye, Vera, and the other members of the Demon Hunter team then arrived at the south gate of Rogge Camp. Unlike other places here, there were no demons in this direction. It seemed that when the demons invaded the sanctuary, they were unable to project themselves here because this area seemed to be protected by some mysterious power.

While there's no demonic invasion, Roggar's sisters still stand on the southern wall. The road south of Tristram leads to another kingdom, Westmarch. This is the place captured by the Angel of Death, Malthael, in Diablo III. The former angel of wisdom seized the Dark Soul Stone, which sealed the souls of the seven demon lords, and fell. He then went crazy and wanted to destroy all demons and humans!

But that's all the storyline for Diablo III. It's unclear whether it will be the same in the future. And we don't know what the current situation is with Diablo II. But one thing is certain: this Diablo world! It's a complete Diablo world! It's not like the games where you can only go to a certain area and fight a certain monster!

If you can, you can even come to the origin of the barbarians, the origin of the Diablo 3 witch doctors, and even go to the mysterious Xiansai, and the Amazon island where outsiders are not allowed to enter, the Skovos Islands!

This made Wu Ye very excited. Who wouldn't want to travel the entire Dark World? Perhaps there were different treasures in other places? He wondered if he could reach the maximum level in his lifetime, travel the entire Dark World, defeat the Seven Demon Lords, and return to his original world.

Vera led everyone to the South Gate, said hello to the Rogge sisters on duty, opened the South Gate and walked outside.

"Ah...Brother Wu, I never thought we could actually act together. I really didn't expect it!"

After a while of silence from the demon hunter team, Thor finally spoke up, unable to hold back his chatterbox nature. Previously, they had to maintain their image in front of Akara, but now, with these few people, they could completely let loose!

"Yeah, it's been half a month since we last met! Back then I was still a newbie who knew nothing. By the way, why didn't you guys say anything just now? It's not like you at all, except for Farah. He doesn't like to talk anyway."

Wu Ye suddenly remembered that the demon hunter team he knew before was not the one that talked a lot of nonsense, so why did they now seem to have their mouths sealed?

"Ah...hahaha...didn't I want to avoid disturbing others? After all, I still have to maintain some image. Although I can talk nonsense in the tavern, it's inevitable that I will disturb others on the street. By the way, Brother Wu, we heard at the North Gate that there is a powerful necromancer at the East Gate. Could they be talking about you?"

Thor rubbed the back of his head sheepishly. He and Lal were bragging, and the volume was certainly high. Considering he'd been so full of nonsense since I'd first met him, it suggested he'd been warned or punished.

Thinking of this, Wu Ye couldn't help but almost laughed.

"You mean the East Gate? I'm not sure if it was me. I was just fighting off demons like them normally. Nothing special."

Wu Ye was actually quite surprised. How could his story be reported to the North Gate? He hadn't done anything. Wasn't our protagonist, Skeleton Brother, shining brightly?

"Wu, you're too modest. The necromancer was talking about you. I was paying attention to you the entire time. Oh no, you were the one who was attracting my attention the entire time... That's not right! Anyway, I was talking about you!"

Vera interrupted, then realized that the more she spoke, the more ambiguous it sounded.

Then Wu Ye didn't hear anything wrong, maybe his emotional intelligence is low?

"Hmm? Then just treat it as me! But I'm only level 4, so why are you paying attention to me?"

Vera was even more shocked to hear that Wu Ye was only level 4, but she didn't say anything this time. Instead, she became more resolute. One day! He would reveal his secret!

As he walked, Wu Ye noticed the forest was quite dense, as if it hadn't been cut down in years. However, under the influence of the blood moon, the road was extremely deserted, and the forest was particularly dark, with the ground appearing black and reddish wherever it was illuminated. All the small animals in the forest had taken refuge.

The forest seemed lifeless. However, without the intrusion of demons, it was quite safe, though the atmosphere was a bit off.

"Tristram should be in ruins now, right?" Wu Ye couldn't stand it any longer. It was too quiet! The chatterbox didn't speak. Besides the wind, footsteps, and the rustling of leaves, there was no sound at all.

"As for Tristram, it has never been rebuilt since it was destroyed more than 20 years ago because the breath of the devil still lingers there. No one is willing to get close to it, and no one knows why Grandpa Kane went there." Vera explained to Wu Ye as they walked.

"Speaking of Tristram, it was once a prosperous town. Rogue City was established after Tristram was destroyed and the monastery was breached. Many people were displaced at the time. Later, Lord Kasha and Lord Akara established the Rogue Camp. So the Rogue City you see wasn't actually built there from the beginning; it was built spontaneously by people later on."

Sol explained, as if recalling something. If they were all locals, they must have experienced this. Sol was probably in his twenties.

"Damn demons, one day I will drive them all out of the sanctuary!" Farah, who was usually taciturn, said these words viciously at this time.

This made Wu Ye very curious about what Farah had been through. However, it didn't look like a good thing, so he couldn't ask.

The group continued walking, but it wasn't as silent and depressing as when they first set out.

Thor and Raf finally started talking about their adventures as if they had opened up a box of conversation.

"Wu, let me tell you! That bastard Thor was anally shot by an elite monster while heading to the underground cave in the Dark Forest! And it was two arrows, one ice and one fire! Then, Thor, so humiliated and enraged, whipped those two elite monsters to death for an hour. You don't know how much I laughed at that time. Hahahahahahaha!!!"

As a barbarian, Raph has a really loud voice. Even though he was whispering to Wu Ye, it was no different from speaking loudly! You know, the barbarian has an extra skill tree dedicated to shouting just because of his loud voice. If the voice isn't loud enough, the skill won't be very effective!

"Raff, you bastard! Shut up! Do you think you have no embarrassing moments? Wu, come here and I'll tell you about Raff!"

Wu Ye covered his face with one hand, unable to hold it in any longer. These two were just too much. Vera had been very reserved along the way, but she couldn't help but laugh.

"Wu, let me tell you, before Rafe, he..."

Thor, increasingly animated, vividly described to Wu Ye how Raf had been humiliated and embarrassed. Hearing this, Raf wished he could physically seal Thor's mouth shut. But Thor was far more formidable than Raf.

"Okay, you two shouldn't be ashamed! There are other people here." Heim, who was really annoyed, interrupted them.

Hearing Heim's reprimand, Raf and Thor were silent for a moment and then looked at each other.

"hahahahahahahaha!!!"

The two bastards laughed even louder.

"Wu! Wu! Listen to me, Heim... uh...!!!"

Just as Raf was about to speak, Heim held his head and twisted his neck to the right (a Red Alert meme).

"Hey, hey, hey!!! Lal fainted!! Medic! Medic!!"

Wu Ye looked at Raf who was executed instantly by Heim with a confused look on his face.

Thor then pulled out his weapon! And then... he started firing Holy Light Bullets!

Thor used Holy Light Bullet on Lal, and the effect was outstanding!

Lal triggered his passive and revived with full health!

"I was so shocked that I just kept saying 'good job!'" Wu Ye felt that sooner or later one of him would die of laughter at the hands of these "geezers" (local dialect).

After walking for a long time, everyone started to feel hungry.

Then Vera suggested that they stop and have a meal before continuing.

Everyone started to get busy.

I saw Raff fetch a few large rocks from somewhere. Then he used a hanging rack to set up a large pot over the campfire. It looked like they were preparing to make broth again!

Then Wu Ye also looked at Vera. Vera was just like them! She even took out some dry food!

Wu Ye looked like an elderly man on the subway checking his phone. What the hell! Are they only capable of fighting?! They're only capable of making meat soup, something every adventurer can do, right?

Speechless, Wu Ye pulled out the kitchen utensils and stove he had carefully prepared. He wondered if anyone else would put these things in their backpacks. After reaching level 4, Wu Ye's backpack became even bigger, and it wasn't as tight as before.

Everyone who was cooking looked at Wu Ye, bewildered. This! They instantly felt embarrassed. Comparing it to Wu Ye's, what was this?!

I felt everyone's gaze and looked at the bag. There was still a lot of food in it.

"Ahem..how about I cook by myself? You guys just watch and wait and eat!"

As he spoke, Wu Ye placed a large square table and many long benches, and asked them to sit on the benches and wait.

Wu Ye then cooked rice, stir-fried a few dishes, and brought the broth to the table. Today's dishes included stir-fried pork with green peppers, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and sweet and sour shredded potatoes. He increased the portions. After all, there were six people dining today!

"Wow! Wu can actually cook! This smells so good! If I were a woman, I would want to marry you!"

Thor was eating frantically, picking up his bowl and chopsticks. The others also expressed their approval. Vera blushed and nodded, but remained silent. After all, Wu Ye already had a lover. He probably wouldn't like other girls, right? Although many powerful adventurers would marry multiple wives.

"You're kidding. In my world... in our village, no one wants a man who can't cook! Everyone, eat more. If you like it, don't leave me any leftovers! Otherwise, don't even think about eating my cooking next time!"

After all, having a full meal is a very happy thing. A great man once said, "I hope everyone can one day enjoy the shade of the rice plants!" So cherish food! Don't waste it. Eat only what you make. This is Wu Ye's basic principle!

"Hmm... (chewing) It's so nice to (eat)..." Vera rarely spoke during a meal. Wu Ye felt happy watching everyone enjoying their meal. Suddenly, he remembered the first time he cooked for his family. Even though the food wasn't delicious, they still praised him and finished it.

After a group of people devoured the food, if Rafe hadn't been concerned about his image, he would have even wanted to lick the plate clean.

After washing the dishes, Wu Ye put away his things and everyone started on their way again.

"Wu, tell me, how happy your future wife would be if she could eat the meals you cook every day! It's a pity that we are men. Otherwise, I would have persuaded you to marry us. Hahahaha!!!" Thor was still joking.

Only Vera, with a blushing face, was fantasizing about waking up every day to eat breakfast made by Wu Ye.

"My future wife will definitely eat it every day. I already have a lover. Although it may not be the right time for us to get married, I will work hard."

Vera, who was still daydreaming, was instantly brought back to reality by these words. Yes... he already has a lover...

"Hahahaha! Good brother, don't forget to invite your brothers when you get married!" Wu Ye was then patted on the shoulders by the Demon Hunter team. This made Wu Ye feel quite embarrassed. It seems that the Demon Hunter team is full of bachelors?

"Alright, let's get going!" Vera reminded. She then took out a map and began to examine it. However, this map was different from the abstract one Wu Ye had seen before. This one was a very detailed magical map, complete with location information!

"Wow, where did you get this map? It's so advanced!" Wu Ye couldn't help but exclaim. It's just like using a map plug-in in a game! The terrain is clearly marked for you.

"This is a limited magic map of the Mage Guild, and currently only a few people can own it. Vera should have obtained it from Lord Kasha, right?" Farah, who rarely spoke, actually began to explain at this time.

Looking at the map, they'd already covered a third of the distance! Speaking of which, Wu Ye was also feeling sleepy. He wasn't feeling as tired without fighting. Even though his body had been strengthened by the world, he wasn't as physically demanding as he used to be when he was just staying home.

The main problem is that I don’t know how much time has passed, and I only rest when I feel physically tired.

"Let's just rest here today! It's best to conserve our energy! We might run into some unexpected situations!"

"Okay, we'll camp here!"

"Everyone, get some rest. If you're keeping watch, use my crows and spirit wolves! If anything happens, I'll wake you up immediately."

So everyone started to rest.
