On a cliff hundreds of meters high, Li Qing lay on the bushes at the top of the cliff, wearing a camouflage hat made of vine branches, staring intently at the narrow valley below that was crowded with living corpses. [Chinese.com. The Starters]

After convincing Chu Lingfeng and the elves, Li Qing came to investigate alone.

Because the mysterious black-robed man arranged for the living corpses to stay behind and monitor on the hill where Li Qing and the others had settled before, Li Qing did not return the same way, so as not to alarm the living corpses left behind and be detected by the mysterious black-robed people.

Among the piles of magical items he had collected from the Bloodline's treasury, he found a "spider" ring. After arousing the spider, it can walk like a spider on vertical walls and even ceilings. With the help of the Arachnology Ring, Li Qing easily climbed the steep cliff hundreds of meters high on the left side of the narrow valley.

It's a pity that the number of magic items attached to the "Spider Technique" is scarce, except for Li Qing's ring, only Chu Lingfeng has a pair of Spider Movement boots. Whether it's a ring or a boot, you can only cast Arachnism three times a day. If it weren't for this, Li Qing and the others would not have been blocked by the living corpse brigade before, and they could have used the spider technique to climb the cliff directly.

From the time the black-robed man drove them away to Li Qing's climb to the top of the cliff, three or four hours had passed. For such a long time, the group of living corpses still gathered in that narrow valley, and there was no intention of leaving. This situation made Li Qing feel strange.

"Even if the living corpse usually moves slowly, for three or four hours, it should be several kilometers away. What's the point of gathering in this valley where there's nothing? Have a party? Li Qing was very puzzled in his heart, and pondered: "Or is there really something strange in this valley?" ”

Whether there is anything strange in the valley, Li Qing actually doesn't care. What he really cared about was the staff in the black-robed man's hand.

When he saw that staff before, Li Qing intuitively felt that the staff that concealed a mysterious amount of power and a faint sense of control and manipulation might be the key to the black-robed man's ability to drive the living corpse.

Therefore, Li Qing really wanted to get his hands on that staff, figure out the secret of the staff, and find a way to control the living corpse, so that he could return to the earth with Chu Lingfeng - if Li Qing and Chu Lingfeng wanted to return to the earth, they had to return to Mulan City, return to the place where they came, and call Su Su with a secret spell, so that Su Su could activate the gate of the other world on the other side of the earth.

But Mulan City is now a city of living corpses, with more than 100,000 living corpses in it, as well as various powerful living corpse warlocks and even living corpse lords. The slightest mistake can trigger a frenzy of living corpses, trapping thousands of living corpses in a sea of corpses.

Even if Li Qing was now a ninth-level black knight and had blood marrow, he was not sure that he would be safe and sound in the sea of living corpses. He wasn't sure of it himself, let alone with Chu Lingfeng.

As for Aya, Li Qing hasn't figured out what to do with her yet. But even if he decided to take Aya with him, with Aya's virtue of being weak when she saw a living corpse, no matter how strong she was, it would be impossible for her to provide much help to Li Qing and Chu Lingfeng. On the contrary, she is likely to be so frightened by thousands of living corpses that she can't walk, but she has to let Li Qing help her.

The sea of living corpses is difficult to fight, and Aya can't count on it. But if you can get that staff and uncover the secret of the black-robed man's drive to the living corpses, things will be much easier.

If he can control the living corpses, even if he can only control thousands of living corpses, Li Qing is sure to take Chu Lingfeng and even Aya with him, and easily return to Mulan City, back to the alley where he and Chu Lingfeng crossed at the beginning.

This is a major event related to whether or not he can return to the earth smoothly, so Li Qingcai knew that the black-robed people were powerful and thousands of living corpses were terrifying, so he insisted on coming back to investigate.

Of course, the stakes are very high, and Li Qing will not act recklessly because of this. It would be nice to have a chance to capture the staff, but if he never had the chance, he wouldn't have gambled.

Walking the rivers and lakes, safety first.

Even if you can't get the staff, at most, you can just stay in the Calondo continent for a while longer, and farm more monsters to improve your strength. Anyway, now that the Calondo continent is full of living corpses, it is very easy to farm monsters and level up. He could even kill living corpses on the outskirts of Mulan City, attracting a little bit at a time, killing a little at a time, and constantly reducing the number of living corpses while constantly improving himself.

As long as you are patient and cautious enough, don't provoke powerful living corpse warlocks, and don't cause a tide of living corpses, one day you will be able to find a way back.

It was precisely because he did not pin all his hopes on the black-robed man's staff that Li Qing was able to have enough patience and calm to lurk and monitor at this moment.

Drawing the lesson of the previous time when he focused his gaze on the black-robed man for a long time and was sensed by the black-robed man, this time Li Qing's gaze did not stay on the black-robed man too much. He mainly observed the dozen or so heavily armored living corpses that had always surrounded the black-robed man, and every time he observed the black-robed man, he only glanced at it quickly, and then quickly looked away.

Li Qing observed cautiously enough, and the distance between the two sides was hundreds of meters, and the black-robed man did not notice Li Qing's prying eyes this time, and did his own thing unhurriedly.

The black-robed man glanced up at the sky, saw the sun hanging high in the sky, estimated that the time was almost noon, and nodded with satisfaction. He raised his staff and chanted obscure incantations in strange tones and strange language.

As he chanted, the fist-sized black crystal at the tip of the staff gradually shimmered. Then there was an obscure invisible wave that spread out from the black hedron and enveloped the entire valley.

The thousands of living corpses in the valley that were wandering unconsciously in place, uttering a dull howl from time to time, were touched by the invisible fluctuations, and suddenly all of them fell silent, sculpturally motionless, and no longer made any noise.

The black-robed man's chant grew louder and louder. The incantation is repeatedly refracted by the cliffs on both sides of the valley, forming cascading echoes. At first glance, it sounds like there are countless people singing in unison.

After repeated refraction of the layers of echoes, not only did not weaken, but became stronger and stronger. Later, the powerful sound waves even shook the cliffs on both sides of the valley slightly, shaking off countless dust and rubble.

"Such a big move? What kind of spell is this black-robed man going to cast? Li Qing on the cliff was secretly surprised, his gaze no longer wandered left and right, but fell directly on the black-robed man, observing his every move.

Li Qingzhi said that when the mage holds the spell, it must not be interrupted, otherwise it will cause a backlash. Low-level spells are fine, even if the spell fails to cause a backlash, the impact is not great. Once a high-level spell is interrupted, the damage to the mage is not light.

The spell prepared by the black-robed man at this time had already been recited for more than three minutes just by reciting the mantra, and he had not finished reciting it yet. The chanting caused a great amount of movement, and even the mountain shook slightly, and if the intensity was a little stronger, it might cause a small-scale landslide. It can be seen that the spell prepared by the black-robed man at this time must be a powerful spell with amazing effect.

Spells of this level must not be interrupted. Even if the caster wants to stop on his own initiative, it will be very difficult. That's why Li Qing dared to look directly at the black-robed man, staring at his every move, without fear of being detected by the black-robed man.

Staring at the black-robed man for a while, seeing that the black-robed man was still chanting and concentrating all his energy on holding the spell, Li Qing stood up silently, folded the bow with the iron in his hand, and drew out an enchanted arrow.

Although he didn't know why the black-robed man of Lu Dao wanted to take a group of living corpses to prepare powerful spells in this deep mountain and old forest, and he didn't know what the consequences of Lu Dao's spell would bring, Li Qing knew very well that the various actions of this black-robed man were definitely not for the living corpses to listen to him sing, and there must be some kind of deep meaning.

No matter what the black-robed man had, Li Qing would not let him succeed.

He wanted to seize this great opportunity to interrupt the black-robed man's spell and cause the black-robed man to suffer the backlash of his failed spell casting.

Just looking at the momentum of the black-robed man when he held the spell, he knew that once he failed to cast the spell this time, the backlash he received would definitely hit him hard, and he might even explode and die directly. In that way, Li Qing would have a chance to get the staff.

Li Qing pulled the tail of the arrow in his hand and pulled the bowstring. The enchanted arrows were dark and heavy, and the three-edged armor-piercing arrows were aimed at the center of the black-robed man's eyebrows.

This enchanted arrow is attached to the magic effect of "Annihilation Armor", which is specially used to break the shield formed by magic, psionic and other extraordinary abilities.

Although the black-robed man seemed defenseless when he held the spell, Li Qing knew very well that the black-robed man must have taken defensive measures, and he must have already prepared trigger-type spell armor on his body.

Therefore, it is necessary to choose an enchanted arrow with the "Oblivion" effect to destroy the magic armor of the black-robed man.

Of course, Li Qing didn't expect to be able to kill the black-robed man with a single arrow. Even if his iron folding bow has a range of up to 1,500 meters, the arrows he shoots can automatically track the target and hit every hundred shots, the enchanted arrows he chooses have the special effect of annihilation, and the extraordinary skill Flame Blasting Arrow is extraordinary, Li Qing has never expected to be able to kill the black-robed man with one arrow.

In his opinion, with the unfathomable strength of the black-robed man, it was an extravagant hope to hit the black-robed man with one arrow.

However, what Li Qing wanted was not to severely injure or shoot the black-robed man. His arrow, as long as it can interrupt the black-robed man's spell, is enough.

Li Qing opened his bow like a full moon, locked the center of the black robe's eyebrows, and was about to release the Flame Burst Arrow skill.

At this moment, there was an amazing change in the valley!

I saw the black spar on the top of the black-robed man's staff, and in the black-robed man's loud and almost howling chanting, a black ripple suddenly burst out. The black ripples spread out in all directions like water waves.

The more than 1,000 living corpses touched by the black ripples, except for the dozen or so heavily armored living corpses around the black-robed man, the rest seemed to be grabbed by an invisible giant hand, and they suddenly gathered together and formed a hill of living corpses.

Then I heard the sound of popping and cracking, and the mountain of corpses made of more than a thousand living corpses was squeezed by an invisible force, and the living corpses were shattered one after another, and the flesh and bones were fragmented, and it gradually turned into a pyramid composed of flesh and blood of living corpses!

After the pyramid was formed, the remaining thousands of living corpses poured towards the pyramid, being crushed by the invisible force, and the flesh and bones were integrated into the pyramid and became part of the pyramid.

With the influx of living corpses, the pyramid of living corpses grew rapidly and became larger and larger at a rate visible to the naked eye. On the pyramid, streams of pitch-black mist gradually filled the air, exuding an extremely evil and crazy atmosphere.

Watching the flesh pyramid gradually take shape and grow, Li Qing couldn't help but be moved. Such a strange and terrible situation was far beyond his imagination, causing his scalp to tingle, sweat to sweat down his spine, and chills all over his body.

Just preparing for casting spells, it was already so evil and terrifying, Li Qing didn't dare to imagine what terrible consequences would happen if the black-robed man successfully cast the spell.

So he didn't wait any longer, and decisively shot the enchanted arrow that had been gathering momentum for a long time. After an arrow was fired, Li Qing did not stop, and shot three enchanted arrows one after another at the fastest speed.

Under the super high speed brought by super agility, the four arrows are almost connected from end to end. Each arrow launched the Flame Burst Arrow skill, and the four Flame Burst Arrows were connected in a line, dragging the gorgeous flame tail, like a comet dragging the wisdom tail, shooting towards the black-robed man through the air!.
