[144] The man behind the scenes
"Lord Priest?" Zuzu was surprised to see the high priest Darakon walking over wearing a robe, although the sky had darkened, and the style of the other party's robe was slightly different from before, but the burn marks on the right side of his face made it impossible for Zuzu to admit it.
The High Priest's flame-torn right eye was tightly closed, a scar from the fight against the Voodoo Magician, which Zuzu had always considered more a symbol of courage and honor than his own cut-out tattoo.
However, at this moment, Nanke's entry into the mine has not yet yielded results, and the top of the mine is thundering and lightning, and he sees that a downpour is about to fall from the sky, which makes Zuzu have a very bad premonition.
"High Priest, why are you here? If you leave Zanti Village, what will happen to the spell barrier that prevents the resurrected corpse from entering? Or do you want to help you defeat the Voodoo Warlock as soon as possible, and then deal with the Soul Resurrection? ”
Darakon was on crutches with a golden scepter carved with the head of a beast, and with his strong physique, no less than a warrior's, he did not need crutches to help him walk, the golden scepter was purely a spell casting tool, and he showed a different and calculating feeling when he walked on crutches.
After walking in front of Zuzu, the high priest stopped, first looked at the entrance of the mine, and then turned back to look at Zuzu, whose doubts had not been answered.
"Hmph, do you really think that the Soul Resurrection Corpse can't enter Zanti Village because of the spell enchantment set up by my brother?"
Zuzu was struck by lightning, he couldn't understand the full meaning of this sentence, but the word "brother" alone made Zuzu fall into great fear.
Because the High Priest had no older brother, and the High Priest and the Voodoo Sorcerer were twin brothers, and they had no other siblings, and now the High Priest suddenly said something like "My brother......
Zuzu subconsciously clenched the spear in his hand, and something that surprised Zuzu even more happened at this time: the high priest's right eye, which had been burned by the fire in the duel with the voodoo manicurer, actually opened little by little!
Beneath the grim burn marks, the High Priest's right eye was still bright, even brighter than his left, but the color was red, and there was a chilling horror hidden in it.
"You're not a high priest!" Zuzu's hair stood on end, he retreated half a step back, and then threw the spear in his hand at the other party with all the strength of his life.
However, the high priest did not dodge, and with his left hand on crutches and his right hand lightly raised, he effortlessly caught the front end of the spear and crushed it simply and violently.
He shook off the scraps of wood in his palms as if they had lost countless innocent lives in his hands.
"Zuzu, you're just as stupid as the rest of Zanti Village." The High Priest pointed to the right half of his disfigured face, "Do you see this eye to understand my true identity?" It's ironic, only this eye belongs to my brother! ”
The expression of the High Priest - or the Voodoo Sorcerer - suddenly became hideous, and it was like the kind image of the two people who had usually been in the village of Zanti.
"It's not my brother who has been disfigured by the fire, it's me! But I quickly made my brother pay the price, and the eyeball was transplanted from him! ”
Countless thoughts flashed through Zuzu's mind for a moment, and he overcame his urge to turn around and run away with the glory of a warrior, but instead put his hands together to his mouth and shouted at the entrance of the mine: "Mr. Ke, come back quickly!" It's a ......."
Before the words could be spoken, a beam of red light shot out from the right eye of the voodoo manilock, although the red light was formless and substantial, but Zuzu was immediately knocked down, and the warriors of Zanti Village felt the pain like ten thousand ants drilling into their hearts, and their muscles spasmed, not to mention shouting, even breathing became more and more difficult.
As if to rest his right eye, the voodoo sorcerer closed his right eye after emitting a red light, and he looked down at Zuzu who was rolling and struggling on the ground, and sneered:
"My brother bombarded me with an oracle spell, making any attempt to mobilize my spiritual power painful...... But after I took my brother's right eye with sorcery, the oracle spell became mine, and I made it stronger! If you are shot by the oracle's secret curse, that little bit of spiritual power on your body will become your curse, and every breath will bring you great pain, and I am very interested in how long you can hold on......"
Zuzu's mouth and nose were bleeding, and his ten fingers struggled on the ground to make bloody marks, and the pain hit him wave after wave, making him feel painful, but he couldn't make a sound in his throat.
The voodoo magician, believing that Zuzu was about to die, ignored Zuzu, and went to the entrance of the mine on his own, holding the golden scepter against the roof of the cave in his hand, and reciting a long series of incantations in his mouth.
"Boom!"
The Golden Scepter unleashed a wave of destructive energy, and the large and small rubble on the roof of the cave fell, and the dust and debris flew wildly, blocking Nanke's return in an instant.
The voodoo sorcerer then took a step back contentedly, patted the dust on his robes, and said as if to himself, as if to the ancestor who was rolling on the ground:
"Actually, there isn't a single corpse here, never has been, and my brother will be waiting for him and his ringwraith's ...... at the end of the mine."
※※※
"There seems to be a sound of a collapse at the entrance of the cave," Nanke frowned, "it seems that someone else is shouting, but it is mixed with thunder, and I can't hear it clearly......"
After a short break, Emerald used the little snake to find the best route, and the two started moving forward again, still in the same way that Emerald was retracted from the ring, and Nank was dressed in snake scale armor and held a ninja knife in his hand.
Jade's hearing is better than Nank's, she vaguely heard that the caller was Zuzu, guessing that Zuzu may have encountered a danger such as a resurrected corpse, but her mana consumption was much faster than expected, and she was still too busy to take care of herself, and she didn't have the energy to return to save people.
The profession of a ninja is similar to that of a killer, and she is too soft-hearted to be a ninja at all, sacrificing the life of an adult to ensure the safety of the Emperor, which is a result that Jade can accept, not to mention that she feels that Zuzu is to blame.
(As the old saying goes: A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall.) I told you a long time ago to let you leave quickly, you have to stay at the entrance of the cave to sell cuteness, you were damaged by that African Liga Lingbo! You are an adult and have no children, so I will not tell the Emperor that you are in danger and let the Emperor go back and save you. )
"Your Excellency, don't worry about the cave-in, the cave-in," Jade said in the ring, "I just used the little snake to find out that there are other roads leading to the surface at the bottom of the pit, let's rush down as soon as possible and solve the whole thing!" ”
Nanker suddenly stopped after slicing open the body of a resurrected corpse, and after a period of fumbling, he could also sense the amount of remaining mana of the ringing spirit, and was surprised that the mana consumption of the jade was much faster than before.
"When I came in, I obviously saw that the entrance to the cave was very strong, and now there is a landslide, isn't it that someone deliberately cut off our back road?"
Nanke opened Solomon's True Eye and stared at the amulet given to him by the High Priest, and when he saw that the magic around the amulet was flowing abnormally, as if the amulet was a monster that was greedy for mana, he suddenly realized that he pulled the amulet from his neck.
"Fooled!" Nank tossed the amulet at his feet and crushed it, but the mana that had been consumed did not recover.
"The High Priest is probably behind this! He already knows that I have three Dharma Rings, and he wants to kill people and take treasures! Most of the remnant ring in his hand was also taken by killing the exorcist! ”
"Jade, how much magic do you have left? If we continue like this, before we reach the bottom of the mine, your mana will be exhausted, and the snake demon scale armor will not be usable, right? ”
