Chapter Ninety-Nine: Lake in the Heart of the Earth 2
Small purple grass was distributed to each person.
Freya gently pinched the seemingly ordinary grass in her hand, and a faint smell of flesh mixed with the strange smell of mint emanated from the leaves of the grass.
Scorpion grass is somewhat like catnip in the previous life, but it is much more attractive than catnip, and it seems that Rand's preparation is quite fulfilling. β
Freya played with the grass in her hand, took a deep look at the backs of Ashbourne and Lena as they both left, and got up and walked in the same direction.
There are many large and small potholes on the edge of the inner lake, and Rand said that he wants to find a pit with a diameter of about one meter to try, which is also based on the size of the flame scorpion.
Freya's location was more than ten meters away from Ashburn, and although she looked like she was looking for the flame scorpion, her eyes never left the two.
As the few people separated, she found that the two guys who had been tired of it were now silent.
Ashburn put away the smile he had been on, and instead walked in a certain direction with a calm face, and Lena followed him silently with an expressionless face.
Looking in the direction of the two, Freya paused, took out the original small test tube from her waist bag, opened the cork and poured the liquid into her hand, rubbed it slightly, and then wiped it on her body.
A faint white light snorted and disappeared on her.
Feeling the energy particles that had been steady on her body slowly assimilate into the surrounding energy breath, Freya put away the empty test tube with satisfaction.
"Phosphorescent stock solution, in addition to effectively neutralizing the negative energy of the necromancy, can also confuse your own energy breath and the energy in the surrounding air for a certain period of time, which was originally a negative effect is now just right for me to use in my hands."
Staring at the two who hadn't gone far, Freya took a deep breath. A faint flow of wind slowly condensed on her.
If Freya, who was close to the Grand Knight, wanted to dodge, even a third-class apprentice would not be able to detect it, after all, these people were all half-scholars and were not specialized in combat.
Deliberately lying on the ground, Freya has been moving forward in the blind corner of the sight of the two.
As he got farther and farther away from the crowd, Ashburn's pace quickened.
Freya looked at her surroundings, although she was still in the area of the Inner Lake. But the size and number of rocks in the current location are much larger than the previous place. It's like a stone forest made of rocks.
Ashburn walked slowly through the stone forest, as if to confirm the direction.
After turning a huge rock, he suddenly stopped.
In front of him was a rare clearing with nothing. The flat ground is not naturally formed, and the lines are crooked and carved on it.
He squatted down and gently wiped the lines on it, and his face became much more gloomy.
Suddenly, he took out a red crystal from his waist. placed in the middle of the clearing, and muttered an unknown incantation.
Freya, who was hiding not far away, saw his movements. His brow furrowed slightly.
The red crystal she knew, it was an ordinary fire-based energy storage crystal, and some apprentices or wizards who specialized in fire-based spells usually liked to bring this crystal to assist in spellcasting, but the language that Ashburn was singing was unaware of Freya.
In all spellcasting languages. She had only learned Elven and Abyssal languages, and Ashburn's spells clearly didn't belong to either.
As he chanted in a low voice, the red crystals on the ground slowly melted into red liquid and slowly flowed into those crevices. A faint burning sensation came from that direction.
'Smack'
With a gentle snap of her fingers, Lena's body, which had been following Ashburn, shook suddenly. The smart eyes instantly turned jet black, and then his face was dull and walked towards the increasingly red lines.
Thin red marks slowly appeared from Lena's face as she walked, and countless thin red ropes seemed to be tied from head to toe, and the crimson blood flowed out of those thin marks, and melted into the cracks together with the liquid turned into crystals.
"This isβ" Freya frowned slightly.
Although she didn't know what Ashburn was doing, Lena's instantly sluggish expression was seen by Freya, who had also seen this necromancy spell from Mentor Leonde, who had been working as an assistant in the necromancy room for a long time.
It is a zero-level spell that can only be learned by a third-class apprentice, and the effect of this spell is only to ensure the vitality of the corpse, and it can also be controlled by the caster for a period of time after death.
Unexpectedly, Ashbourne used this kind of spell for real creatures on Lena, and on this basis, he didn't know what kind of necromantic spell he had cast, but he could actually make Lena become no different from ordinary people during this period.
'Click! β
The red glow grew brighter and brighter, and as the tone of the unknown incantation in Ashburn's mouth rose to a height, a voice that seemed to break came out of thin air in front of him.
A red stone gate suddenly appeared in front of him, and when he saw the appearance of the stone gate, Ashburn's face was overjoyed, and he accelerated his chanting.
Standing in the middle, Lena's whole body had run out of blood at this time, and then the flesh, internal organs, and bones quickly dissolved in the cracks like candles.
And after Lena finished dissolving, the stone gate suddenly changed from hazy to clear, and a fusion aura mixed with fire-based energy and necromantic negative energy came to his nose.
Even Freya, who was hidden in the shadows, faintly felt a burst of suffocation, and her face slowly changed from calm to shock.
The red stone door seemed to be made of countless flesh and blood, and the thick veins twisted on the door, writhing as the red light slowly dissipated.
Ashburn's chanting continued.
'Tear up! β
At the end of Ashburn's long chant, the red stone door that looked like a living creature burst open, and rows of giant teeth lined up and down the stone door, and then two large, hideous heads with closed eyes sticking out.
The two heads looked like enlarged versions of skinned dog heads, their blood-colored fangs exposed, and a heavy smell of fishy and sulfur emanating from the noses and mouths of both heads.
"What kind of monster is this!" Freya's eyes widened as she looked at what was sticking out of the stone door, and the instinctive perception from her body made her almost want to flee from this place, and infinite fear filled her heart.
A simple magic pet mission can implicate such a bizarre thing. And Ashburn apparently summoned them for some other purpose.
Although she instinctively wanted to escape, her tenacious willpower overcame the fear in her heart, and Ashburn was only a third-class apprentice, and he looked at each other without changing his face in the face of the coercion of this higher creature, and there was a deep joy in his eyes, obviously fearless.
Just as Ashburn was about to make the next move, the eyelids of one of the two-headed dogs rolled sharply. It seems to be about to wake up.
This sudden change. Immediately made Ashburn's figure pause, and cold sweat brushed down from his forehead.
But the dog's head didn't seem to be waking up, and didn't open its eyes. After a while, it was the same again.
Seeing the dog's head remain the same again, including Freya who was hidden in the shadows, she breathed a heavy sigh of relief, which didn't give her this feeling even to any official wizard just now.
And just now she had vaguely guessed the origin of this creature, which made her want to back down.
But. As Freya slowly retreated, Ashburn, who had been facing away from her, turned abruptly. With a gloomy face, he said loudly in Freya's direction.
"Come out! I've noticed you little mouse, and if you wake this guy up now, we'll all have fun! β
This sentence made Freya's heart sudge slightly, and she didn't understand when he noticed it.
But. As she hesitated, a transparent figure suddenly shook in front of another hidden boulder on her side. Then a quiet girl in a gray robe and holding a thick book appeared there.
"I didn't expect to be discovered by you!" Lenny withdrew the book in his hand into his gray robe and looked at Ashburn indifferently.
"Huh. Lanny, I didn't expect you to bring your grandfather's hidden secretary here, did you know my purpose in the first place? Ashburne looked at Lenny, unsurprised.
"I was only suspicious before, but when I heard that stupid brother say that you are going to capture the red snow bat, I was somewhat confirmed, and the last disappearance in the heart of the earth really had something to do with you?"
"What if it has something to do with me? If you face this resource point, wouldn't you be impressed, and those guys originally wanted to defect to the academy and swallow it alone, I just cleaned up the portal in advance, the door has been opened, and the anger of your brother's people outside is enough to attract the attention of this guy, and then as long as we go in together to get all the things inside, even if we are wanted by the family and hunted down by the academy, it is completely worth it! β
As soon as these words came out, Freya, who was originally glad that she had not been discovered, suddenly froze, and listening to his tone, it was obviously time to use their group of people.
However, Lenny only shook his head slightly.
"What? You don't want to? Now that you know my purpose and what is in it, isn't that enough to tempt you? Ashburn's voice was a little cold and eerie at the moment.
But after these words, Lenny changed his usual indifference, and said loudly with a deep hatred: "Ashburn, the genius of my clan, the person with the most hope of being promoted to wizard this year, do you know, among the group of people you designed to kill in the Inner Lake before, one of the third-class apprentices, he originally had the same name as you as a genius, but he died here because of your selfish desires, if it weren't for you..."
"......" Ashburn looked at Lenny in surprise, and suddenly thought of something, his lips moved, "You mean Constine... You really are..."
Without answering Ashburne's words, Lenny suddenly raised the teleportation ring in his hand, and a stream of spirit flashed through it.
Seeing Lanny's movements, Ashborne, who was originally surprised, didn't understand what he had found, and Lanny actually sent the conversation between them directly to the others.
"You damn it!! Slut!! Intensely enraged, Ashbourne stretched out his hand, and immediately a black staff slowly extended from his hand, and a cold necromantic aura emanated from him.
Suddenly, he turned around and pointed heavily at the two-headed dog whose eyes had been closed, and a low staccato chant came out of his mouth.
"It's a sobriety spell!" Lenny turned his head and shouted in the direction Freya was hiding, "Freya! Stop him quickly! β
Although both of them were following Ashburn, Lenny's stealth energy had obviously deceived Freya as well, so it was not surprising that he was discovered.
Hearing Lanny's shout, Freya didn't have time to think about it, and rushed out directly in the direction of Ashborne, and the qi around her body instantly exploded, rolling up a burst of rocks.
If he casts a spell successfully, once the monster is awakened, the consequences are unpredictable for anyone.
The cross sword was pulled out with a thud, and the fiery red energy attached to it, and a long fiery snake was pulled out by Freya, who was running extremely fast.
'Bell! β
A loud humming sound combined with the sound of metal crashing resounded throughout the stone forest, and Freya looked at the black semicircular shield on the cross sword in a cold sweat, and Ashburn who was still chanting incantations inside.
Suddenly, her eyes froze, and the original violent aura suddenly shrank, and then a momentum that was even more comparable than just now erupted.
