In fact, Duke has long thought about using the system to solve the current dilemma.

But unfortunately, he didn't exchange points at all now, and he had already bought the witchcraft scroll that could cause earthquakes and had great negative effects.

What he was thinking about now was actually the erosion that came with using the Sorcery Scroll.

In the past few days, he has been using his magic power and the white rabbit that he sacrifices from time to time to divert the erosion of his life force from the negative effects of the witchcraft scroll.

And he has done so much to maintain a fragile balance, just enough to not let his life force be devoured.

Now that he had exhausted all his mana in order to resist the steady stream of skeleton monsters, he had no strength left to suppress the negative effects of erosion.

It stands to reason that it should have been eaten up by this erosion a long time ago, and it was right that it withered sharply in life.

But now he was still alive and kicking, except for the tingling sensation in his head caused by the near-exhaustion of his magic and mental power.

This made him suspicious of his existence.

Moreover, judging from the situation encountered from last night to now, this evil existence underground is known for its spiritual attacks, and always takes advantage of people's unpreparedness to affect the spiritual world.

And the stone wall that covers this place is also a spiritual illusion in a sense.

Therefore, he couldn't help but have a bold guess in his mind.

"Lenia!"

Duke felt the flow of mana that was about to run dry, and finally decided to play the last one.

So he turned around and condensed the remaining magic power into a faint ball of light in the fingers of his right hand, which was the Soul Purifying Technique that could awaken people from the illusion.

Lenia paused when she heard Duke's shout, and then watched as Duke's glimmering fingers pointed at her forehead.

She was slightly stunned, and then as if she understood something, she stopped the never-ending storm of blades, and gently closed her eyes.

Between the lightning and flint that came up again as the monsters around them stopped attacking, Duke lit the orb of Soul Purification on Lenia's forehead.

A dazzling burst of light rushed out of Lenia, causing Duke to instinctively close his eyes.

The light was dazzling yet softly warm, and the monsters around it melted away as if they had been wiped off by an eraser.

The space they were in also resisted for a moment before making a crunching sound, and then turning into a bits of fluorescent light with a thud.

Duke slowly opened his eyes when he couldn't feel the warmth anymore, and Lenia opened her eyes almost at the same time.

I saw that Lenia still retained the posture of holding a lamp in her left hand and a sword in her right hand, but she did not move for half a minute.

They remained in front of the open stone wall, never stepping into the darkness.

Duke felt the familiar mana in his body, and knew that he had gotten rid of the environment just now, and he was a little happy for a moment.

But before he could react, Lenia in front of him had already turned around, quickly picked him up and scurried back.

Duke was a little stunned, but when he saw the horror behind Lenia, he wished that Lenia would retreat a little faster.

A disgusting tentacle of dark brown sluggling mud and unknown filth flew towards them through the open stone wall.

As the tentacle approached, a foul stench emanated from it, and Duke almost fainted.

"Hold your breath!"

Lenia roared and sent Duke forward, but she turned around and swung her sword to fend off the tentacles.

The other party is also very smart, and does not face Lenia's sword head-on, but just fights around her.

Duke was pushed by Lenia, stumbled in front of him, and rolled a short distance, already close to the exit of the basement.

He hesitated for a moment, then turned and ran towards the exit.

Because he understands that he is really a burden here now, as long as he can get out of the basement, Lenia can still have many ways to get out with his own strength.

But as soon as he stepped onto the first step, a tentacle the thickness of an ordinary rope suddenly stretched out of the darkness, wrapped around his ankle and pulled back sharply.

Lenia noticed Duke's condition and immediately came back to her senses to cut off the extra tentacles.

However, the moment she turned around, the thick tentacle that had been wandering away and not making direct contact with her sneaked up directly from behind, rolling her up and pulling her into the hole in the wall with Duke.

Feeling herself and the leader being pulled in front of the monster itself, Lenia suddenly burst out with a scorching energy.

With a thud, she exploded the tentacles wrapped around her into countless shards, then swung her sword to sever the small tentacle that was holding Duke.

At this time, they had been pulled down into the hole in the wall, and the tentacles that had just been exploded and severed were reunited and recombined like living beings, and then disappeared into the darkness.

There was an eerie silence all around for a while.

Duke didn't look at it, and threw an illumination spell at his head as if he were in the environment.

To his and Lenia's relief, there weren't any endless skeleton monsters here.

It's just that there are various pits of different sizes scattered on the ground.

Duke thought the pits were just plain pits, but when he looked closer, he almost felt sick.

It turned out that these pits were piled up with layers of various dry bones, some of which were stained with dried blood, revealing a seeping red-black luster.

He thought that he had just hurriedly skimmed and saw dozens of dirt pits scattered around him, and a cool air was rising from the soles of his feet to his scalp.

"It seems that this is the place where they hold cult ceremonies. "Lenia's condition is a little better than Duke's, after all, she has experienced some battles, but her face is still a little pale, "The distribution of these pits is dug according to the foundation of the magic array. ”

Duke swallowed hard, and said with some uncertainty, "How about we destroy this place?"

The terrifying and strange scene here made him feel very uncomfortable, and the impact on him was too great, and he wanted to leave here quickly.

Moreover, if these pits are distributed according to the magic array, destroying these pits is equivalent to destroying the magic array prepared by the cultists, and reducing the risk of the unknown to a very low level.

Lenia nodded in agreement with Duke's idea, and began to instill vindictive energy into her sword.

Duke also hurriedly worked his magic, preparing to brew a more powerful version of the Fire Blast.

At the same time, they also left a mind to secretly pay attention to the disgusting tentacles that had been silent since just now.

Ha!

Lenia exhaled from her chest, and a brilliant sword light slashed towards the dirt pit in front of her, causing the soil around it to begin to crumble and slide, slowly changing its shape and being buried.

The moment she slashed out the sword light, several shadows in the darkness began to sweep towards them.
