Chapter 822: Betrayal
Splatters of blood reflected the ice red.
Salin slammed into the ground in the opposite direction from the spurted blood.
The sudden attack from his companions left him unprepared for the first time, and the two layers of protective spells on his body shattered after resisting the first two attacks, and he was knocked out by the great force, hitting the hard ice wall, and he could almost hear the sound of his ribs shattering.
Spat out two mouthfuls of blood, Saleen looked up, and an ice giant lay across the narrow gap in the ice, almost blocking the limited space.
Sidney floated in the air behind him, a pair of emotionless eyes dancing with ghostly fire, condescending, staring at him without the slightest emotion, as if looking at a corpse.
Five zhang away behind is the exit of the ice crevasse, which is also an ice cliff, and the exit of the ice crevasse is open at the upper end of the ice cliff.
This was one of the hiding places that Lin An had found before, Salin and Sidney had just flown down from the top of the ice cliff with flying techniques, and if Saleen was given time to prepare for the flying spells, this hidden hiding place would not be any danger to him.
However, judging from the current situation, Salin felt that the chances that Sidney would give him time to prepare the spell were slim to none.
At the first time Sidney started, he forcibly impacted Salin with his mental power, and Salin couldn't understand why Sidney's mental power level had not broken through the *division level, why he could inflict heavy mental power on him at the first time, but thinking of the demon * master he devoured before, Salin understood something.
"Why? Is it the Holy See, or the old immortals of the Mage Tower? ”
This was Saleen's biggest doubt since Sidney's attack, but now was certainly not the right time to solve it, and Salin asked with an angry expression. His pale face showed an unnatural blush of anger and horror, and at the same time, he moved backwards under the pressure of the ice and snow undead, and his left hand, which seemed to be broken, drooped to one side, and his fingers made spell casting gestures in his sleeve at a rapid pace—
He never thought that a level 2 cornice-walking wall would make him huā condense for so long.
Sidney was not deluded and did not have any explanation. Instantly turned his face to his companion who got along day and night, he still had no emotion at all, and with a calm wave of his hand, the giant-like ice and snow undead raised his giant fist high and smashed it down like a hammer. It seems that he won't stop until he smashes Saleen into a meatloaf!
Boom, boom!
Saleen rolled over and dodged two deadly punches, but he also paid a lot of money: a deep wound was cut in his right thigh by the ridged ice tip during the dodge, and Saleen felt that he might have cut an artery in his thigh, but because of the cold, the bleeding was not too much.
Except for the most severe wound on the thigh. The remaining dozen or so minor and serious abrasions on his body were trivial, but they only made a lot of blood stains on the torn robe.
But even so, Saleen felt tingling on the right side of his body. His movements were also sluggish a lot, and because of dodging attacks, the spells he had secretly prepared could not be completed, and his mental power kept him in a buffer period. The brain is dizzy, and dark patches appear in the field of vision.
Perhaps the only good news was that he had made no mistake in the direction he had dodged and had come to the edge of the cliff.
The wind whizzed from the bottom of the cliff, and from time to time fine ice stones peeled off the ice cliffs, and Saleen could even hear the sound of ice stones rolling down in the howling wind.
Jumping off a cliff is nine deaths, and staying here is ten deaths. But if it weren't for Sidney's transformation into an undead, just a few days would not be enough for him to adapt to the transformed state, and as a deceased, he could no longer use most of the spells that he used magic to drive when he was a living person, and he could only drive the undead for the time being, Saleen might not even have a chance to choose nine deaths.
Sidney also saw Salin's intentions, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he was about to order the undead slave to continue the attack, only to see Salin take a deep look at him, pounce back, and jump out of the ice cliff.
Sidney chased to the edge of the cliff, there was no trace of Salin in the cold wind, the fire under his eyes was slightly extinguished, and there was no order: "Go down and search for the body. ”】
After he gave the order, his eyes fell to the cracked ground on the side, and in a pit of ice with broken ice ridges, a silver-white bracelet fell in the middle.
Sidney raised his hand, and the bracelet flew lightly.
He pondered for a moment, then threw the bracelet far away, and the silver shimmer flew out of the cliff, swept away by the wind that was caught in the ice and snow, and disappeared.
……
"Salin and the Dead Soul Orb are gone!"
Lin An was stunned, and immediately went to investigate the things in the Ring of Artemis, and sure enough, there was nothing missing in it except for the Dead Soul Orb.
The role of the Ring of Artemis now is primarily for the exchange of information.
Due to the gains from some previous battles, Lin An did not lack space equipment, and had already stored most of the money and valuables that he could not use in other unrecognized space equipment.
These things were divided into three parts, one part was given to Lancet, one part was given to John, and some were put back in the sky city after the space energy was filled, and the ring of Artemis was left with only some money, natural water, and the scroll that Lin An made for his companions.
The Dead Soul Orb was originally placed in Sidney's space, but after Sidney transformed the undead, there would be a huge transformation in spiritual power and energy, so before the transformation, he lifted the recognition of the space equipment.
And in order to avoid the failure of the transformation and death, except for the passive use of the Book of the Dead when devouring the demon * master, Sidney transferred everything in his space to the Ring of Artemis.
After transforming the undead, Sidney didn't have time to reclaim his spatial equipment, so Lin An also saw that his pile of miscellaneous items was piled up in a corner of the Ring of Artemis, except for the most important Dead Soul Orb.
And the disappearance of the Dead Soul Orb seems to have revealed the biggest motive for Salin to leave suddenly without saying goodbye.
In terms of time, it has been less than a month since Saleen obtained the Ring of Artemis, and choosing to do it when the war on the northern front is about to start and they have no time to find his whereabouts is also completely in line with Saleen's consistent character.
And the target he chose was the Dead Soul Orb, and there was no doubt about it - Saleen was the person who knew the Dead Soul Orb best besides Sidney, and the Dead Soul Orb had only unlocked one seal so far: a complete inheritance left by the Undead Master. and the attraction of transforming the body of the dead into immortality, it seems that there is nothing surprising that Saleen would be tempted by it.
Not to mention, the Dead Soul Orb is the most important key to cracking the demon army, and its value is not limited to what it contains, if Salin uses it properly. Strength, power, money, and status can all follow, and Lin An has no doubt that Saleen has the courage to walk on a tightrope.
This is not the first time he has done this, but this time, the target he chooses to provoke is bigger and the profit is greater.
However, this is for Saleen. It's still not a problem, Lin An didn't forget it, they are currently in the ice field, there is a relic here that has been owned by Salin, with this hiding place, Salin certainly has enough confidence.
Lin An after learning that the Dead Soul Orb had disappeared. A lot of things quickly came to mind in my mind, one qiē and one qiē, which seemed to point the suspicion at Salin. Even according to his consistent understanding of Salin's character, Lin An already believed Sidney's words as soon as he heard the news.
According to the induction of the main ring of Artemis Ring, Lin An found the attachment ring given to Salin under the ice cliff. There was no trace of Saleen in the vicinity, so Saleen's suspicion increased by two percent.
She also inquired in detail about the circumstances surrounding Saleen's disappearance.
However, Sidney's words were always flat, and in his straightforward narration, Lin An did not find a clue.
Salin seemed to have been calculating for a long time, and without warning, Sidney and he came to this hiding place to take care of himself. When he came out again, he found that Salin was nowhere to be found, and the Dead Soul Orb was gone.
The ice field is always cold and snowy, and after a snowstorm, any traces left on the snow will be completely buried, and even Titi and William will not be able to find Saleen's whereabouts.
"Don't look for it, when it comes to hiding traces, there will be no one like Saleen."
After patrolling the ice cliff for a long time, his eyes stopped on the attached ring for a while, and Lin An's eyes flashed and he put it away.
The army of the demon undead is coming, and it is impossible for Lin An to stay in the ice field in the delay time, Sidney watched Lin An climb to the back of the flying clouds, lowered his eyes, and then slowly climbed up.
……
Ten days later, the mighty army of white undead, seemingly with no end in sight, appeared at the end of the field of vision of the outpost fortress of Gaunt City.
The sentries stationed at the fort quickly sent a signal to the rear and at the same time evacuated.
"It's finally here, the final showdown!"
Behind the battlements, the white-haired old general, who stood on the strongest side of the generals, said in a deep voice, as if the mighty white army of the undead had appeared at the end of the horizon.
The white-haired old general turned his head to look at the red-robed mage standing aside, "Master Mourinho, has there been any progress on the two pieces of information you have obtained recently?" ”
"After all, there is a little less time, and we can't do a complete verification of the principle, but that undead control technique can indeed control the ice and snow undead, and we have made this spell public. At present, the military mages on the front line of Gaunt City have begun to learn and master this undead control technique, and send it back to the rear base camp, I believe it will bring a surprise to the demons! ”
New spells that have not been fully deduced may be dangerous, and it will take at least half a year or even longer to ensure the safety of the spell, because some spells will be like diseases and will only show up after a certain incubation period.
But the army of the undead has already poured in front of them, and if this spell is not promoted, maybe those mages will die in front of the battle tomorrow, so the post-spell sequelae or other worries are no longer taken care of by them.
(To be continued)
ps: Thank you Baobao for the pink ticket for eating enough children's shoes! o(n_n)o~
Khan, I was guessed by Xiao L children's shoes, and Sidney in the transformation process was the most defenseless, so, you know......
In addition, Sidney's devouring of a * division is very risky, but the harvest after the successful devouring is also large, so he can unexpectedly use his mental power to hit Salin hard, about the specific fighting process, I will not go into detail, there are some details in the article that are indirectly revealed, in order to save space, I will not write too much detail, mainly because Salin did not expect the sudden attack of the people around him, and the location was in a desperate situation, so he was jumped off the cliff~
In other words, this can be regarded as a feature of Western Fantasy, the strong (demon king) all died under the stab of the truster-well, because Salin's children's shoes are not strong, so he didn't die...... [Salin: (#‵′) The stupid author dies! 】
