Volume 1 The Rise of Darkness Chapter 18 The Fire of the Undead
There were eight minotaurs who were released from the chains, and they all lowered their heads, aimed their hard horns at Zhou Chang and them, and rushed over like crazy.
However, the strange thing is that they did not attack Kana, but only attacked Zhou Chang, Fat Man, Angelina, and Taizhang.
At this time, the fat man was already so frightened that the three souls were gone, and he was ready to find a backer to protect himself. The first choice he chose was Zhou Chang, but seeing Zhou Chang shaking his arms, he dispelled this idea in less than a second.
The fat man glanced at Angelina again, and from the day he met this beautiful and innocent girl, the fat man knew that she was missing a tendon, and she didn't think about it at all.
As for Kana, the fat man can count the words she said on his fingers, knowing that she is a person who is cold from the inside to the outside, even if this kind of person sees you chopped into meat sauce, he will not raise his eyebrows.
In the end, only Taizhang was left, although the fat man couldn't get used to this kid. However, when his life is at stake, let the fat man call Taizhang Grandpa, I'm afraid he won't hesitate. At that moment, the fat man jumped behind Taizhang with an arrow step. He made up his mind, where Taizhang ran, he even risked his life to run that way.
The minotaur was wrapped in a strong wind and pounced on Zhou Chang and the others with the momentum of crashing into the city and smashing the mountain.
Seeing that these minotaurs were about to rush in front of him against the horns, Zhou Chang's face turned pale with fright, his mind was blank, and he only felt that death was coming.
Just when Zhou Chang felt dead, his body was strangely filled with a powerful force. The stronger the perception of death, the greater that power becomes.
At this moment, the two minotaurs had already approached Zhou Chang. The powerful impact force is even a stone as hard as iron, and I am afraid that it will also be shattered.
But when the horns of the two minotaurs sprinted to Zhou Chang's body, Zhou Chang's body suddenly emitted bursts of black gas, enveloping the two minotaurs.
The black gas was like a hot slurry, burning the flesh and blood of the two minotaurs red. Before the two minotaurs could let out a groan of pain, they were charred and scattered all over the ground, emitting a pungent stench of burning.
Everything happened in an instant, and no one reacted at all. The other six minotaurs continued to attack the target assigned to them by the demon soldiers.
Since the fat man was hiding behind Taizhang, there were four minotaurs who rushed to Taizhang's side. Taizhang had already prepared the spell, and the minotaur had not yet rushed to the front, and the spell in his hand had already been sacrificed.
Four spells drifted in front of the four minotaurs as if they had eyes, and landed on their foreheads.
As soon as the spell settled, he threw a spell in his right hand and shouted, "Fire!"
As soon as the word 'fire' came out, the rune paper suddenly burned, but the power of the spell was suppressed in some way, and it only burned the Minotaur's shoulder red, and it did not cause much damage.
The minotaur was attacked, became more manic, and the pace of his feet increased again.
Taizhang didn't have time to think about it, and the minotaur had already rushed in front of him.
Seeing that the bull man's horns were about to break through Taizhang's belly, suddenly there was a white barrier in front of Taizhang, and the minotaur hit the white barrier, making a sound like glass breaking.
Then, another scream was heard.
It turned out that Angelina used a divine spell to create a white wall of qi to block the attacks of the two minotaurs who rushed towards her.
At the same time, Angelina found out that Taizhang and the fat man were in danger, so she sacrificed another wall of qi to protect them. However, due to her limited mana, the impact force of the minotaur was too strong, and her body was overwhelmed, and she actually fell to the ground, and the qi wall was also broken.
Although Angelina's qi wall was broken, it still blocked the Minotaur's attack.
Taizhang took advantage of the Minotaur not reacting, took a few steps back, and sacrificed six pieces of talisman paper stamped with talisman seals, which landed on the foreheads of the six Minotaurs who attacked him, the fat man, and Angelina.
When the rune paper settled, Taizhang cast another mantra and shouted: "Heaven and earth are fine, fixed!"
As soon as the word 'ding' came out, the six minotaurs suddenly stopped moving, and the rune paper that fell on their foreheads changed. Little by little, the paper was getting blacker, just like if you put paper on top of a candle, the paper would slowly turn black.
Taizhang squatted down and helped Angelina up, and the fat man saw that the minotaur seemed to be imprisoned by Taizhang, and his pale face showed a hint of joy, and said to Taizhang, "Hey, I said you kid, quickly clean them up." ”
Before the words fell, the rune paper on the foreheads of those fallen minotaurs had become charred black, and when the wind blew, it burst into countless ashes and fell to the ground.
Losing the ban on the charm, the Minotaur's body began to move again.
The fat man's mind had shifted from these minotaurs to Zhou Chang's body at this time, and when he found that Zhou Chang's body exuded a strange black qi, his jaw was about to fall to the ground in shock.
At this time, the bodies of the six minotaurs were fully movable, and they looked at Taizhang angrily, as if they wanted to swallow him alive.
Soon, the minotaur lowered his head again, and the hard horns made people's hearts tingle when they looked at it.
When the minotaur attacked again, the fat man had already come back to his senses, and he shouted to Zhou Chang, "Zhou Chang, damn, what are you doing there, Lao Tzu's life is almost gone." ”
Hearing the fat man's cry, Zhou Chang recovered from the shadow of death, and he found that the two minotaurs beside him were gone, but there was a pile of charcoal-like things cut under his feet, which was pungent and unpleasant.
As the consciousness of death in Zhou Chang's mind faded, the black qi on his body gradually disappeared. He couldn't help frowning when he saw the minotaur rushing towards the fat man, he couldn't help but save the others, but the fat man was his only brother, and he was the one who risked his life to save it.
That is, for a moment of hesitation, Zhou Chang waved the magical iron sword in his hand and rushed towards the six minotaurs who were going crazy.
Zhou Chang and the fat man were only a few steps apart, and soon ran in front of them, turning to face the six minotaurs who rushed over.
The minotaurs weren't slow either, and they rushed over with a low roar of rage.
The two minotaurs had scared Zhou Chang half to death just now, and now the six minotaurs rushed over, and their eyes were on fire.
Zhou Chang was so frightened that he almost couldn't hold the sword in his hand, and a feeling of death suddenly arose in his mind. As soon as the thought of death came to his mind, an inexplicable force filled his body.
The feeling of death became more intense in a few seconds, and the power in Zhou Chang's body couldn't help but boil, like blood, rushing into Zhou Chang's eyes, and his eyes were suddenly filled with black gas.
Just as the six bull heads rushed to Zhou Chang's side together, the black gas spurted out of Zhou Chang's eyes. The minotaur who was splashed by the black gas was like being in a blazing fire, and his body was quickly burned red, and finally turned into charcoal.
At this moment, the fat man, Angelina and Taizhang saw it clearly, the expressions on their faces were all wooden, and people only showed such expressionless expressions on their faces when they were terrified to the extreme.
Not only the expressions of the three fat men, but even these demon soldiers and minotaurs were shocked, and they all subconsciously took two steps back.
Only Kana still had that cold expression, no sadness, no joy, no anger and no fear, she was looking at Zhou Chang, and muttered in her mouth: "He really contains a powerful undead power, but how can he be a human? And there will be this sword?"
Kana fixed her gaze on Zhou Chang's iron sword, and suddenly she noticed that Flot was looking at her, and she seemed to understand Floss's intentions, and shook her head at Floss.
Flaude got Kana's hint and did not give the order to attack again.
At this time, Zhou Chang's fear of death gradually subsided. His black eyes also changed back to their original color, but this time he seemed to exert too much force, and the moment his eyes returned to normal, his whole body fell to the bluestone brick with a thud like a kite with a broken string.
Seeing this, the fat man hurriedly went over to help, but as soon as the fat man touched Zhou Chang's body, a piercing cold air invaded from Zhou Chang's body into the fat man's body. The fat man can't stand it. shivered a few times, and hurriedly put Zhou Chang down again. After taking a closer look, I saw a thick layer of hoarfrost on Zhou Chang's body, and there was a trace of white gas rising from his body.
The fat man was so frightened that he sat on the ground, "Han, Zhou Chang, don't scare me." ”
Taizhang stared at Zhou Chang, who was lying on the ground half-dead, and the black gas that erupted from Zhou Chang's body just now was clearly the undead fire. It was a fire from hell, and although the undead fire did not burn, it was actually hundreds of times hotter than the fire on the continent, and it could incinerate everything.
Although the Undead Flame is very domineering, it is only used by a few undead of a very high rank. Other races couldn't refine this powerful flame at all, Zhou Chang was just an ordinary human who couldn't be more ordinary, how could he use the undead fire?
What has happened recently is too weird, and the weird and strange things I have encountered before are not as many as I have encountered this time, and Taizhang, who has always been conceited, fell into a deep confusion.
Angelina and Tai Zhang's thoughts were completely different, although the black qi emitted by Zhou Chang was very similar to the undead fire. However, the Necromancer of the Terran Race can also practice turning death qi into fire through a certain ritual, and that kind of necromantic fire and undead evil fire are both formed by death qi, so they are very similar.
Angelina thinks that the black qi on Zhou Chang's body should be the necromancer's necromantic fire.
All the people present focused their eyes on Zhou Chang, and at this moment, Zhou Chang didn't know what was going on, he had fallen into a semi-comatose state. He could feel the cold on his bones, very similar to the last night he had met the eight black-robed knights, six-legged strange birds, and strange people pulling the bronze coffins, and the white frost on his body. However, this time the symptoms were more severe than the last time.
Soon, Zhou Chang lost consciousness.
When Zhou Chang woke up, he found himself lying on top of a pile of hay, surrounded by darkness. He wanted to stand up and move his body, but as soon as he moved his hands and feet, the piercing pain spread throughout his voice, and he couldn't help but moan.
"Boy, I know you won't die. It was the fat man who spoke, and he heard Zhou Chang's moaning, groped his way to Zhou Chang's side, and helped him up.
"Where are we, Miss Angelina, Master Taizhang, and Miss Kana?" Zhou Chang had too many questions, but he was most concerned about the safety of others.
The fat man was full of anger when he heard Zhou Chang's voice, and knew that he was fine, so he smiled and said, "It's all here, after you fainted, that purple magician let the demon soldiers arrest us, and then escorted us to the basement of the palace and locked us in this black prison." ”
Speaking of this, the fat man suddenly lowered his voice and said, "When you didn't wake up just now, that kid from Taizhang accused Miss Kana of being a spy planted by the demon clan to us. Miss Kana does have a lot of doubts, though. ”
Before the fat man's words were finished, a cold voice suddenly said: "Whether you believe it or not, I am not a spy of the demon clan, and I have no ill will towards you." ”
There is no need to guess, the person who can make such a cold and indifferent voice cannot be anyone else but Kana.
Hearing what the fat man said just now, Zhou Chang knew that Kana was showing kindness to Taizhang.
However, Taizhang didn't seem to appreciate it, and snorted coldly, "Then you can explain, why did you appear in the illusory West Mountain of Yubi City, and why didn't those Minotaurs attack you?"
"Why do you want to be paranoid that the place where I appeared is not the West Mountain, why don't you think about it from a different angle, the cave we are walking in may be a shortcut to the Night City? As for why the Minotaur didn't attack me, the reason is simpler, because I have a piece of cold jade on me. I think cows, horses, and livestock are extremely afraid of the cold, and they don't attack me, probably because of this piece of cold jade on my body. ”
Kana's words seem to be flawless, but they feel far-fetched. However, she explained Taizhang's doubts, and Taizhang had no evidence to prove that Kana was a demon, so she had to give up.
