The Turning Gears Chapter 40 Capture
"We've confirmed that these things are dead, right? Lin Moyang held the Flame Shaper in his hand, which was the only weapon he could rely on now, and he asked Green.
"Yes, it should be like this. Green replied that when they explored the cabins before, they would carefully identify and confirm the corpses whenever they saw them, these corpses were clearly dead, without any traces of magic, but now these corpses were so normal that they could no longer be normal and staggered in front of the two of them, their purple faces and eyes shining with dark blue flames all explained the identity of their undead creatures.
The corpses walked crookedly, and a few corpses with broken joints poured into puddles of water from time to time, making a splashing sound, but these corpses got up again and again as if they were tireless, and gradually leaned towards the two of them.
"It's just an ordinary ghoul, there's no pressure, Lord Sueyang, you look carefully for that ghost, I suspect that these corpses have something to do with him. Green pulled out the Persuader, and the Persuader blade seemed to sense these blasphemous undead creatures, and for a moment the golden light was in full bloom, and the group of ghouls were forced to take a few steps back by the light of the blade, but after they retreated to a place where the light of the Persuader's blade could not reach, they continued to let out a low, strange roar with their hoarse throats.
Lin Moyang looked around, he didn't think that ghost would be so stupid, so superficially close to them. The ghost is indeed very scary, but as long as it dares to get close to the two of them, Lin Moyang thinks that even if he doesn't rely on himself, Green can put this guy down in 5 minutes.
But what Lin Moyang didn't expect was that just as Lin Moyang was looking around, a thin and twisted arm really stretched out from the ice wall behind him, and it happened to be seen by Lin Moyang, who turned his head.
"Damn, this guy is really that stupid?" Lin Moyang looked at the arm that was stretched out like a mushroom on the ice, who else was this except the old ice diver who could move in the ice?
Lin Moyang was extremely frightened in his heart, the psychological shadow left by the alien spirit at the beginning has not yet faded, but this is not the reason why the bastard in front of him is so happy, right? As long as you can see it in your eyes, if you look closely, this guy seems to be a little darker than the group of ghouls in front of him, except for being weird.
On the front, Green had already rushed into the horde of ghouls, and the persuader in his hand danced like a windmill that shimmered with light and shadow. Green's swordsmanship teachers come from the elite swordsmanship of various existing knights, and Green's swordsmanship talent is rated as rare in a hundred years, he only spent half a year learning swordsmanship, and together with other knight courses such as riding training, he only took two years to graduate, so that his instructors were amazed.
The bodies of the ghouls could not resist the blades of the persuaders, and the persuaders with a flash of golden light easily sliced through the broken bodies, smashing together with the bones and stiff tendons, the bodies of the ghouls were not much stronger in front of Grimm than the stakes used for sword practice, the black blood of the ghouls could not even be spilled from their bodies, their blood had long been sealed into their veins by the cold ice, and the faces of these ghouls turned purple, which was the color of the coagulated blood that had broken through the blood vessels and seeped into the surrounding tissues.
Lin Moyang looked at the arm that stretched out from the ice wall, thinking to himself why this guy was so swollen, and he was impatient to get out of the ice in the presence of ghouls, didn't he see the majestic figure of the other Green like mowing grass?
However, the ghost shadow would not know Lin Moyang's thoughts, he slowly revealed his face from the ice, and Lin Moyang saw the ghost's face clearly. The face was covered with water stains, and there was a seeping smile on the dark face, and the ghost figure revealed a mouth with a few missing teeth, which looked really weird, and his throat kept coughing, and blue mist erupted from the depths of his throat, condensing into a thin layer of frost when it hit his arm.
"Hey, he's here!" Lin Moyang didn't want to look at such an old ice diver, he hurriedly shouted to Green, who was still killing people.
Green turned his head from the group of ghouls, and he also saw the upper body on the ice wall that seemed to grow out of nowhere, and it seemed that this ghost really felt that as long as the ghouls delayed the two of them, they could rest easy.
"Pull him out!" the holy sword once again split a lunging ghoul in two, and Green immediately shouted to Lin Moyang.
"Huh?" Lin Moyang was stunned when he heard this order, he never thought that Green's order was to pull this guy out, instead of directly using a knife to do it?
"He's a lich! he's conscious, grab him!" Green said.
"Lichs?" Lin Moyang's mind immediately thought of some of the more famous lichs, such as Kel'thugad. But the old ice diver in front of him had a mentally retarded expression, and he was 108,000 miles away from the image of the legendary First Strategist of the Lich King, and he couldn't see any connection between this guy and the Lich.
The lich heard Green's words, he blinked his ice-blue eyes, and looked at Lin Moyang with a look of disgust, at this time, it suddenly seemed to realize something, and a scream came out of its throat that made Lin Moyang feel dizzy, and the whole person was about to retract into the ice.
At this time, Lin Moyang is a fool, and it is impossible to let this bastard escape, right? Lin Moyang endured the fear and disgust in his heart, and grabbed the lich's twisted black arm with his hand. "Hehe, don't leave when you come, come and sit down, it's very warm on my side!" This arm is really wet and cold, it feels like dry wood with a layer of ice, and it is like an ice sculpture covered with a layer of dry skin, and the skin is full of ice cubes that slide around, it is really how disgusting and disgusting, how perverted and perverted.
But at this time, Lin Moyang also knew that he couldn't retreat, he held this thin arm, and pulled it hard, about to pull out this bastard in the ice. Although Lin Moyang did not take the initiative to use qi now, but the passive enhancement effect of qi was still there, he didn't say that his strength exceeded that of the second-order strengthened Green, and the first-order strengthened Green he could still crush, and the lich in this ice was not a power-type player at first glance, and when Lin Moyang pulled it like this, half of his body that was originally retracted was suddenly pulled out again.
The light in the lich's eyes flickered for a moment, as if the signal and reaction were half a beat slower, and it realized what Lin Moyang was trying to do, and it screamed, and a layer of blue mist floated on its arm, exactly the same as what had spewed out of his throat before. Lin Moyang felt that his palm was stained with this ice mist as if he had been slashed with a knife, and coldness and numbness surged out at the same time.
This lich, whose expression and reflex arc were super delayed, saw the hoarfrost on Lin Moyang's arm, and immediately smiled, and a disgusting smile appeared on his thin face.
"I'm going to you! I'm really an uncle, I'm not hot, isn't it? Why do you make a grimace to scare Lao Tzu!" Lin Moyang was so frightened by this smiling face that his legs were weak, but as the saying goes, strange changes will occur after people are afraid to the extreme, whether it is sadness, low self-esteem, or even fear, in the end, it may turn into various forms of rage.
This lich does have a certain amount of intelligence, if he is a brainless ghoul, then how can he use magic, but his current state is different from before, his reaction is very slow, his feelings and thoughts are not particularly clear, everything seems to be seen through the ice. All he knew was that he had something to protect, and in its twisted body, there was a blazing flame that supported the not-so-clear thought in its mind. It had just frozen the arm of the man in front of it with an ice mist, and the man had not used any defensive or counter-spells. The ice mist would rob the arm and even the body of every ounce of the heat that belonged to the living, turning the person into a frozen corpse.
But the lich's wishful thinking didn't last long, and an indescribable momentum suddenly descended from the man in front of him, like a blast of wind rushing straight to the door, and even the blue fire in his body was almost blown out. Then the living man's arm was filled with lava heat, and the pain and emotions of the living seemed to be activated again, and the lich let out a scream like a pig. Qiqi Chinese Network
"That's right!" Lin Moyang suddenly let out a howl of pain when he saw that distorted face, he suddenly felt that this face didn't seem to look so terrible, after all, as long as he confirmed that he could cause damage to this ghost or a lich's, then what was so terrible about ghosts? Ghosts are terrible and unreasonable, can't you beat them?
Thinking of this, Lin Moyang suddenly felt a sense of courage in his chest, this lich became good-looking in his eyes, and even a little stupid and cute. He was now in the state of his first breath, and the momentum of the whole person was blown out along the narrow passage, forming an effect similar to that of the Eternal Fire, these ice cubes were condensed by the magic power, and now Lin Moyang was like the source of a storm, blowing away the magic power around him. The group of ghouls with ghostly fire in their eyes were not real undead creatures in the first place, but the corpses that stood up under the control of the spell were blown by the powerful anti-magic field of the first breath, and they all immediately fell to the ground stiffly.
Halfway through Green's massacre, he saw these corpses fall as if they were boneless, he knew that it was Lin Moyang who used his strange spell, he quickly looked back in the direction of Lin Moyang, and saw Lin Moyang dragging a black body out of the ice, this body burned with a ghost fire that was stronger than any ghoul, but he was also closest to Lin Moyang, and the flames in his eyes were now crumbling, as if they could be completely blown out with just one breath.
"Moyang, stop, you're going to disperse him!" Green said to stop, he didn't expect the Chinese spell to be so domineering, it could even blow out the soul fire of the lich, this guy can be regarded as a "living mouth".
Hearing this, Lin Moyang quickly calmed down the qi in his body and withdrew from the first breath state.
Even if Green didn't say anything, he was going to stop, and now there was no place to recover his qi, and the little reserves in his body that were disgusted by Fenglong would have to be used for the entire mission.
The realm of the first breath gradually dissipated, and the corpse that had been completely pulled out of the ice by Lin Moyang actually opened its thin mouth and let out a strange moan, as if it had just been liberated from terrible pain.
"Moyang, you can really do it, and you won't take him lightly. Green put his sword into the sheath and returned to Lin Moyang's side, now those corpses were completely immobile, it seemed that the source of all this mutation was really this old ice submer.
"This is the Lich? There's still a big gap between this and the Lich in my mind. Lin Moyang put down the lich arm he was holding, and the wood-like arm immediately fell to the ground, and he didn't even have the strength to lift it, he couldn't believe that this thing was still swimming in the ice before.
"The lich you are talking about seems to be the lich designed in the DND game, and the lich that we specifically refer to in the wizarding world refers to the ghouls that this kind of wizard becomes, these guys generally still retain a certain consciousness, although there are not many, but they can still use the magic of their lifetime, which is particularly tricky. Green looked at the ground as if it had been hollowed out of the lich, now shriveled like a mummy, more like a corpse than the ghouls lying in the hallway except for the faint blue fire in its eyes and its slightly trembling body.
"What are you going to do next? I don't think this guy looks like he can talk, what are you going to do, torture him?" Lin Moyang crouched next to the lich, really couldn't figure out why Green wanted him to keep this thing.
"The formation of a lich is complicated, and previous magicians believed that the formation of a lich was the formation of a sorcerer's soul trapped in his own corpse, thus forming this kind of magical ghoul. But this theory has proven wrong in modern times. Because there is no soul in this world, the souls called by wizards are actually more like memories, these lichs are after the death of the body, the memory information remaining in the brain and the magic of the body are mixed with an alternative product, and the lich with less memory information is only left with the magic power of the rampage to drive the body, and the lich with enough memory information can even produce a magical personality in the body that is similar to the personality before death. Green lifted the lich's face, took a closer look, and explained to a confused Lin Moyang.
"Is it so hardcore?" Lin Moyang didn't expect Green to explain the formation of the lich like this, although it sounds unscientific, it is still very magical.
"The age of mythology is getting farther and farther away from us, and the magic is getting weaker and weaker, and with the development of science, the logic and research methods in scientific research can be used in the study of magic. Green replied to Lin Moyang, playing with the lich's face with his hand, carefully discerning the lich's body.
"A lich is a kind of magical object made from the corpse of a human, the same as those that are conscious, and most undead creatures are actually magical items made from human corpses. Green nodded in satisfaction, as if the lich was still intact. "We'll send the lich back to the ship, let Taylor retrieve the memories that are still inside, and we'll continue inside. ”
Green carried the lich, and the lich didn't seem to recover from the first breath of Lin Moyang, and there was no sign of struggling.
Green laughed and complained: "Undead creatures are very difficult to deal with, because they are all a mixture of human will and magic, and they are very difficult to eliminate, and this kind of conscious undead is even more so, either destroying their carriers in an instant, or purifying their human memories through a long ritual, or throwing them into a forbidden area, and when their magic power is naturally exhausted, and they lose the maintenance of their magic power, the memory will slowly dissipate." But I didn't expect the Chinese spell to be so magical, it was almost destroyed in such a short time, does the Chinese spell have an effect on free magic?"
"Ah, sort of. Lin Moyang didn't know how to explain, so he could only vaguely agree.
Green didn't mind, and said with a smile: "It's really magical, is it against the magic spell? Sure enough, the inheritance of the ancient civilization is different from ours." ”
"It's not as exaggerated as you say, ah......" Lin Moyang was talking when a drop of ice water fell on his head, and he looked up to see that the ice walls around him began to melt slowly. It seems that without the support of magic power, these are really just ordinary ice cubes, the sun is so big outside, and there is still contact with sea water below, and the ice cubes are heating up and melting rapidly.
"Ha, at this rate, we only need to heat it up a little later, and our exploration process will be very fast. Let's go, go back to the boat first. "Green carries the Lich on his shoulders, and his back looks like a hunter returning from a hunt and dragging some prey.
"Can this thing bask in the sun?" Lin Moyang asked curiously, pointing to the lich whose mouth was still trembling slightly.
"Sunlight has a strong restraining effect on this undead creature, mainly a matter of attributes, sunlight is positive energy, and the composition of this undead creature is often negative energy, magic also has attributes, this is something you should know. Green laughed.
I know a fart, I don't know what magic looks like. Lin Moyang had a smile on his face, but he said in his heart, it seems that Fenglong knows that he can't use magic power, so Fenglong doesn't plan to teach him this knowledge. Looks like I'll have to read more books in the future. Lin Moyang thought, or simply at the auction next month, ah, no, this left and right, the auction will only be 20 days away, and I don't know if I can rush back before the auction is held, if I can't go back, won't the free place be wasted?
I don't know if it was because he caught the lich or because the ice was melting, Lin Moyang gradually relaxed his vigilance, and the thoughts in his heart swam away.
