163. Body of Shadows

In fact, it takes a lot of mana to maintain the effect of the invisibility of the shadow state of four people, even if my magic recovery ability is five times faster than others, such a continuous consumption can only hold me for a quarter of an hour at most. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoWe are in a state of shadow, our bodies are like ethereal black mist, but they are still intertwined with each other, we can walk slowly in this state, and we must reach safety as soon as possible.

Of course, if we are in this state, even if we are completely invisible, if there is a strong light shining through, the shadow outline of our body can still be clearly displayed. I motioned for everyone to hurry out of the dungeon, the captain of the guard had no intention of leaving, he was going to smoke us out of the vents with lit wolf dung.

I don't know how many people will be killed by this bad idea, but once the wolf smoke is lit in the dungeon, the entire two-story basement will probably not be able to stay human. The thick smoke will squeeze all the air out, and then the choking smoke will follow the entire underground ventilation network to every corner of the basement, and those who stay in the basement and dungeon will not have time to get out, all of them will be in danger of suffocation.

Sue's wheelchair was left in the cell, I put her on my back, my hands supported her soft and round big * legs, her legs were knee-high, she sat in a wheelchair all the year round, and did not let her two big white legs have obvious traces of muscle atrophy, holding in my hands will still feel very soft and very elastic, her body is very light, I carry her on my body and I don't seem to feel the weight it should have.

She quietly put her arms around my neck, exhaling like an orchid, there was an indescribable feeling, I felt that Sue in the shadow state was in a very good state, those shadow elements were like countless moths, rushing towards her body from all directions, each shadow element rushed into her body, she was like a magnet, absorbing countless shadow elements in this dark space, her body was constantly trembling, as if she was chilling.

I don't know what's wrong with her, she looks a little uncomfortable, but there's a guard standing not too far from here in the hallway, and he's looking around cautiously, though he can't see us hiding in the shadows at the moment. But I knew that as soon as we spoke, our whereabouts would be revealed.

Originally, I wanted to rush through the layers of defense, re-reach the ground, and sneak out while the chaos in the manor, but Su had some conditions, so I immediately changed my attention, and I had to find a safe place as soon as possible to get out of the shadow state, and it seemed that Sue's situation was not very good.

When we were about to reach the end of the dungeon, far enough away from the guard, I asked Sue worriedly, "Sue, what's wrong with you, do you feel anything special now?"

Su was a little nervous, she raised her head behind me and looked left and right for a moment, and then cautiously said to me, "I don't have any special feelings, but I suddenly found that my whole body became full of strength, like ...... Like ...... In prayer!"

"Pray?" I asked, somewhat surprised.

"Yes!" Sue replied affirmatively, "it's like praying." ”

The essential difference between a priest apprentice and a magic apprentice is that a magic apprentice is able to awaken the magic pool in his body and feel the power of the four elements. The priestly apprentices spent their days reciting sacred prayers, gaining the protection of the gods and comprehending the power of the divine elements possessed by the gods. If a magic apprentice is using meditation to accumulate mana, then a priest apprentice is using prayer to restore the divine power he has consumed.

I don't understand why Sue felt like a prayer after entering the shadow state, she must have felt the strength in her body recovering.

Anne noticed that my face was a little ugly, and interjected, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, the shadow state is two states that are diametrically opposed to the divine power, to be reasonable, some priests will feel a little uncomfortable in the shadow state, and after a long time, they will even damage their own divine power, I am worried that Su's body will be a little uncomfortable!" I explained.

Su was a little gloomy, lying on my back, his pointed chin resting on his shoulder, and said with some loss: "Jia, what if I told you that I can't feel those divine powers anymore! I am a devout believer, but now I feel that I should have been abandoned by the gods, I can't feel those divine powers, and I can't use healing techniques for a long time!"

"In the future, maybe I won't be able to be a priest again, will you look down on me?" Su was a little frustrated, and I felt a little wet on my shoulders.

"When we were good friends, you weren't a priest's apprentice, and I wasn't a magician, but we were friends then, we we've been friends, we've been, we're still and will be. I said to Sue in the affirmative.

We didn't go up, and although we could get to the basement by walking up, Sue's situation forced me to choose a more secure way out, which was to go into the cave.

This is Ignaz's laboratory, and dozens of hellish plants have been cultivated in the entire wide stone cave, although only a few kinds of plants such as the Night Charm and the Hell Tree have been planted in large quantities, but there are still some black scorched wood, poisonous fly umbrellas, Amanita vines, golden branches, Plants from the hellish realm, such as hoarfrost, all grow in specific glassware, and even the laboratory here simulates the environment of a volcanic crater, and some warm sulfur gas spews out from time to time into a crucible, and those black scorched trees grow around the crucible vent.

As when we came, the whole laboratory was very empty, and the potions master Ignaz, whose name had not been seen, was not here, and we had the courage to check the surroundings, and those big red-eyed bats were locked in a separate cave*, and the top of the cave*, a dozen square meters, was densely packed with dozens of red-eyed bats, large and small, they seemed to be very afraid of the cobwebs at the entrance of the cave, and no bat dared to break through the cobwebs and fly out.

The whole area of the cave is very wide, and there are many oval glass bottles placed in the flat area around it, and in addition to some strange life embryos, there are also some specimens of creatures in the hell world, all of which are soaked in glass bottles, and they do not seem to have any vital signs.

I'm still worried about the question of where the hellhounds that were bred in the cave have gone.

"Where is this?" asked Anne, curiously looking at the lab.

On the contrary, Su looked more familiar, and when he heard his sister ask, he hurriedly replied: "This is the laboratory of Ignatz, the owner of the manor, and he wants to cultivate a Hell Realm plant that can grow in the sun, but it seems that in recent years, the most successful one he has cultivated is the Night Charm Luo, as long as it is not exposed to the sun, it can basically survive." Other than that, there are hardly any hellish plants that are resistant to sunlight!"

"Sue, have you been here?" asked Anne.

"En......" Su hesitated for a moment and said hesitantly. "He's a very paranoid scholar of magical potions, and his experiments are blasphemy to the priests in the temple, and the other day, Cindy and I were looking for a way out of here, and accidentally broke into here, and accidentally learned about his secrets. ”

Su lay on my back and was responsible for guiding the way, leading the three of us to a remote corner of the laboratory, and saw a black fog monster sealed in the electric cage, looking at us curiously, it seemed a little active, constantly moving in the cage, trying to attract our attention, it must have regarded us as its kind, this kind of low-level creature in the hell world, in general, the IQ is not very high, but it is famous for its weirdness and rarity, this black fog monster is a master of lurking, if it is not trapped in the electric cage, it is generally lurking in the dark, few people can catch it。

When Su turned his head to look curiously, the black fog monster was trembling with fright.

At this time, my mana was about to run out, so I revoked the shadow state, and the bodies of several people slowly appeared from the black mist, and the black fog monster roared at us angrily twice, and its movements seemed to express its anger, in fact, our audio was not in the same area at all, and I couldn't hear it.

Anne and Cindy and I recovered from the shadow state, but Sue was the only one who remained in the shadow form, but her shadow form was not the same as when she was invisible, she was lying on my back, her whole body was pitch black, and I could see that there were many shadow elements around her body.

There are many shadow elements floating around Su, which can only be seen by a magician with super magical perception like me, and others can only see that Su is still in a dark state, and his whole body is in darkness.

"Hehehe, that's good......" The voice came from the direction of the entrance to the dungeon, the voice was a little hoarse and weak, we looked over by the voice, only to see a magician in a demonic robe staggering down the steps, his face was a little slender, there was a thin lip like a piece of paper under the crooked hooked nose, the color of the lips was a little blue, and the big deep eyes were full of bloodshots, but at this time he seemed a little excited, his eyes looked at Su without blinking, and he was very excited.

He was surrounded by three strong Cerberus, much stronger than I had ever seen before, their bodies were stained with blood, and although their blue eyes gave off a cold light, their whole body looked shaky, and they must have been slightly injured.

"Ignaz?" I whispered to Sue behind me in a questioning tone.

"Yes!" Sue's voice trembled slightly.

"It's a perfect shadow body, isn't it! I didn't expect me to make this legendary forbidden magic potion, it seems that those potion formulas of the demon clan still have some uses!" He limped to the side of the test bench, and naturally sat on the chair in front of the test bench, scanning us with a master's attitude, he slowly took a blue test tube from the test bench, pulled the cork on it, and raised his head to drink the blue liquid in the test tube.

After a while, his pale and blue face was much more ruddy, and his figure was very burly, but on the thinner side.

"Sue, it's a blessing for you to have such a friend, but for your friends, it's not so good to have a friend like you. Ignaz's face was suddenly cold as if he had a layer of ice hanging on it, but at this time he took out something like a bottle of red-colored healing potion in his arms, but the red liquid kept churning up and down, and I suddenly felt very familiar with this liquid, it seemed to be ...... Demon's blood.

Before I could confirm it, Anne took a big step forward.

"You made my sister look like this?" Anne had already tasted some of the flavor of Ignaz's words by this time, although Ignaz did not make it clear, but it was enough to make Anne angry, she clenched her fists and stood in front of everyone, as if she was tensing the muscles of her whole body, as if she was ready to strike at any moment. As soon as she made such a violent movement, some faint blood stains oozed from the wound on her abdomen.

Annie's injuries have healed a lot, and the hydrotherapy technique is a very good healing magic after all, although it is not as good as the sacred system of the priests in the temple. The effect of the treatment, but the advantage of hydrotherapy is that it can stimulate the speed of healing near the wound, and within a few hours, the new flesh in the wound will grow rapidly, I treated the wound on Anne's abdomen in a timely and effective manner, and sutured her wound with cotton thread, so that the pressure in the abdominal cavity will not completely affect the wound, it will make her feel better, and at this moment, her slow walking is no longer a problem.

But she was obviously more curious about me! Yes, it was hard for anyone to accept that a neighbor boy who grew up watching this could almost lock himself in the attic and never go down the attic, and he was introverted and never wanted to communicate with people, and now it was only nearly four months after the awakening ceremony, and the boy had learned some magic magically, and he also had a lot of survival tips, like these first aid techniques and the like.

Could it really be that a trip to the Willow Valley would change people so much?

However, Su's body seems to be a little wrong, her body is trembling violently, and she is separated from the shadow form in a moment, she looks a little excited, struggling to fall off my back, if there is a part below the knee, at this time she should be kneeling on the ground, trembling violently, breathing very rapidly, and stretching out her hand to Ignaz with a painful expression, her eyes have lost focus, and her expression is full of complex longing, as if Ignaz's hands are full of endless temptation:" Mistress Ignaz, give me the potion!"

"I suppose I'd be happier if you called me master!" said Ignatz, sneering sheepishly, his eyes staring at us like vipers as he spoke, and the incomprehensible taste showed the smugness in his heart.

Su looked very painful, her long white dress was spread on the ground, even if it was covered with muddy water, she didn't care at all, she stared at the red demon's blood obsessively, buried her head between her hands in humiliation, Shuangcun trembled slightly, but finally said in a low voice with a cry: "Master." ”

Annie and Cindy and I were all stunned at this moment, and Sue crawled forward on the ground little by little, and the severed legs were quickly worn away by the hard stone slabs, leaving a trace of blood.

"You see, the Shadow Body I made with demon's blood and poppy juice is all for you. Ignaz took out a delicate silver knife from his bosom, threw it in front of Sue, and continued to say in that demonic tone: "As long as you kill these three people in front of you, I will give you another taste of this bottle of Shadow Body's exquisite taste, that dreamlike wonderful feeling will make you intoxicated, come on, don't hesitate, kill them!"

"I don't!" Sue finally broke down and cried bitterly, as if her heart was suffering greatly.

And I finally understood why Sue lost her divine power, because she drank the blood of demons, this fallen water in opposition to holy water, is something in the hellish realm that can deprive drinkers of their souls, in the valley of Xinliu, countless goblins and goblins have taken demon blood in order to gain great power, and sold their souls, it seems that the reason why Sue can't use the holy prayer spell is that her soul is not pure.

But even though she was suffering like this, even though she had been abandoned by God like a fallen angel, she was still fighting against her demons and had not lost her last sanity.

Ignaz looked a little proud, looked up and said to Anne, "You have worked so hard to come here, you didn't think about it! Actually, the person you were going to save didn't want to leave here at all, hehe, but you still rushed in at all costs, just think about it, it's funny!"

The next moment, Su's entire body finally darkened again, and he automatically entered the shadow form.

"Ah, so this is the 'Shadow Body', what a perfect elemental form this is! Isn't it infinitely powerful? I have a volume of 'Dark Prayer' here, maybe you can try to learn it! Later, you are slowly telling me how it feels to enter the Shadow Form, now, you go and kill those friends around you, don't say no to me again, you know that my patience has never been high......"

Ignaz was still babbling, but suddenly, the pupils of his eyes suddenly widened, and his face was full of fear, and he howled in the highest pitch, as if he was about to burst his throat.

The next moment, a blood-colored six-pointed star circle appeared from under Su's body, slowly floating in the air like a spider web, under Su's magic spell, it turned into the image of a vampire in the undead clan, and what was even more terrifying was that the vampire was holding the silver knife in his hand, and instantly flew towards Ignaz, and the whole vampire hugged Ignaz like a big bat, taking advantage of the interval between his frightened screams, he raised the silver knife in his hand and stabbed it fiercely on Ignaz's heart.

"Death Fear" and "Vampire Embrace"

The names of these two shadow magic skills suddenly came to my mind, and I wondered: Could this be the skill that Sue is using now? After the vampire's image killed Ignaz with a knife, he turned around and began to chase the three Hellhounds, and the big empty hands held one of the Hellhounds, and after a while, the bloodshed of the Lava Fire dried up completely, and the dog's corpse was casually abandoned on the ground, scaring the other two Cerberus into fleeing......

Ignaz fell to the ground, no longer bleeding much blood from his body, and the forbidden magic potion of the 'Shadow Body' in his hand was shattered, and the potion quickly seeped into the cracks in the stone. He looked up with a pale face, looked at Su in confusion, and asked her weakly: "Without the 'Dark Body', you will die, aren't you afraid of death?"

Su fell to the ground, looking at the empty bottle obsessively, and when he heard Ignaz's question, he said without hesitation: "I'm not afraid!"

This is the last thing Ignaz said to Su before closing his eyes: "Maybe there will be demonic blood in the Grimm Empire, but that thing is definitely a rare magic material that cannot be found, I don't think you can bear the day when you find demonic blood, hehe, you buried your own life with your own hands, cherish every second of your time, and ...... while you still have a heartbeat" (to be continued.) )
