A low roar echoed through the valley stream, as if it never ended. At first, the crowd was unimpressed, but soon they felt their eardrums itch, their hearts pounding, and they began to get excited. With the support of a strong heart, the blood of the whole body began to flow happily and enthusiastically in the pipes of the whole body, like a raging river.

The roar began to approach.

"He's going to attack. Tron said, "Feiqi, how long do you need it?"

"Give me another twenty minutes, I've got my head figured!"

"Prepare for battle. Tron leaned against the wall by the door, already holding his weapon. He was panting, sweating on his forehead, but he hadn't done any strenuous activity just now.

"Who else is sweating?" asked Chauddor.

"I don't feel comfortable. Peng Peng gasped for breath, and the chrysanthemum cone fell to the ground with a crisp sound. "I feel like I'm going to die......"

"Drink water. Feige pared the spell and could spare his energy to speak.

After replenishing from the water bladder, everyone's symptoms were relieved. The restless mood gradually calmed down, and the body regained some strength. Peng Peng tilted his head and drank all his water bladders before others organized. He grabbed the broken chrysanthemum cone, turned over and jumped up, and said energetically: "Let the horse come over and neigh!"

"You should have kept some. Chordor gave his water bladder to the goblin next, then looked at Feige. He couldn't help but wonder why Feige wasn't affected in the slightest—neither sweating nor excited, nor weak, not even needing to drink water. Feige is still focused on dismantling and calculating runes. Oh, and now it's time to condense the glyph text.

"Merdaesai Tolyraes", this is the benchmark rune for the magic associated with ice. Combined with other runes that are described, controlled, and changed, they can be combined into some simple ice magic, such as ice puck. In Feige's understanding, ice magic should not simply make ice balls, ice picks to project, and then rely on kinetic energy, that is, to cause damage through impact. The real ice magic should be to transmit a state of low temperature and absorb the heat energy of the other party, so as to achieve the effect of destruction.

It's like fire magic isn't the same as burning. Combustion is just an oxidation reaction - although there is no such concept of oxidation in the Yongli Continent, it does not prevent it from existing, and the essence of fire magic should be heat conduction.

The runes hovered on Feiqi's right wrist, slowly moving around the orbit of the magic matrix, flickering and dimming. It is absorbing mana, stabilizing its form, and then becoming a rune button available in the magic matrix.

There is no better teaching than to observe the process of generating runic characters with your own eyes, and Geudor can be said to be intent. But the monster outside gradually approached, and the sound of heavy footsteps became clearer and clearer. They must make a choice, whether to continue hiding in this cramped room, or rush out to fight in the castle, or go back to the courtyard the way they came?

"Plug the rat hole first. Feiqi sighed: "Calm down, isn't it a monster?"

"It's a little weird that you're so calm, as if you're not afraid of death at all. Chaud winked at the girls, and they tore off part of Chaney's dress, wrapped it in some clutter, and filled it into the rat hole. Giordot went to check first, then asked Shani to pour some water at the entrance of the cave as a warning, and then he looked at Feige, "You're going to make people a little scared, you know?"

"First calm down and deal with the enemy, and then there is time to tell jokes to get rid of the fear. Feige kept staring at his right wrist, the runes moving. However, his left hand was also not idle, and he was also making various gestures in the air.

The Nine Runes Law Seal "True Knowledge Domain" is in operation. Since Feige had hidden the seal, there was nothing unusual about his left hand. With the ability to "recall knowledge and judge right and wrong" in the realm of true knowledge, Fei Qi was able to quickly find clues among the many ice spells, and then correctly deduce them to find the key basic runes that could be used as the magic matrix. If the short spell provided by Georgdo is a key, then the circle of the realm of true knowledge is the hand that turns the key.

However, the realm of true knowledge is not the reason why he is particularly calm. When the monster's low roar affects the others, Feige realizes that he is not "moved". His heart wasn't racing, his blood wasn't rushing, his skin was still dry, not a drop of sweat was blowing. He felt that this roar was familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere. Of course, it won't be a zoo from a previous life - it resembles a bear bark, but there are still some subtle nuances.

Feiqi tried to remember, but even if he used the True Knowledge Realm Circle, he still didn't come up with it. Forget it, hurry up and condense the runes! Fei Qi adjusted his left hand seal, replacing the realm of true knowledge with the armament of law. The Doctrine Armament enhances the stability of "the primary attribute of something", which is lethal to weapons, defensive to armor, and effective to spell runes.

The role that the Realm of Law and Truth can play in battle is very low on the list of Divine Seals, but they are the most needed support seals for Feiqi at the moment. Without the seal, it would have taken him weeks to solidify the "flash" and "extinguish", which is now measured in minutes. The ice rune has become solidified, and the final step is to press it into the "keyboard" of the magic matrix.

"There's movement outside the door!" Tron whispered. Sure enough, there was a slow, dense sound of footsteps in the hallway outside the door, as if five or six people were lining up to climb the stairs. The crowd was surprised and listened. Just as everyone was paying attention to the noise outside the door, the clerk's withered body slowly sat up.

It reached out and slowly reached for the flail to the side. As long as this weapon is swung and struck on the head in a sudden sneak attack, it is almost certain to die. The closest to it was Feiqi, and Feiqi was facing away from it, preoccupied with the magic matrix. It didn't even need to move, it could continue to sit on the ground to complete the sneak attack.

The corpse's hand had already touched the grip of the flail, and a smile had squeezed out of its dry, wrinkled face. At this moment of great tension, a goblin head with big ears and a big mouth appeared in the field of vision of the dry corpse, and a curious gaze continued to radiate from a pair of large eyes. Punpeng poked a knife into the eye socket of the dried corpse, quickly pulled it out, and then stabbed it into the jaw, followed by one ear.

Pengpeng's chrysanthemum cone is very fast, and this speed is not only the speed of use, but also sharpness. It avoids the swaying leather armor of the dried corpse, and pierces it through the crevices, mostly in the joints, the crevices of the bones, and the vital internal organs. It strictly follows what it learned at the Ice Peak Fortress and launches its offensive with the "quick and effective strikes at the vital points" method instilled by Feige. The knife fell, the tiger was angry, poked nine times in a row, and finally broke the chrysanthemum.

The withered corpse tilted its head and stared at Pengpeng, its eyes seemed to be full of grievances. I don't know if it's because of the failure and grievance, or because all the parts of the hit are embarrassing. Of course, there is no such thing as a "vital point" for a dry corpse, after all, it does not have usable internal organs, let alone rely on them.

"Pun Protect Chief hiss!" the goblin pulled back the broken chrysanthemum cone, then kicked the dry corpse in the face. The dried corpse fell, and it "died" from the destruction of key structures in its body. Exactly which one, no one knows.

"You three!" Chowdot looked angry, "What am I asking you to do? Protect Feige! What are you doing, you might as well be a goblin!"

The three girls bowed their heads. Their attention was also drawn to the strange footsteps outside the door, and they ignored their tasks. Qiao Duo changed his usual hippie smile and became very stern: "I usually have to play, how can I ...... at this time?"

"Don't talk, they're coming!"

As soon as Tron's words fell, the door to the storage room was slammed. The iron bars on the door were still strong, but the wood between the bars soon broke and sharp axe blades emerged from them. Through the hole, four withered zombies were wielding sharp weapons and attacking outside the door.

"It's the monster hunters before Gujian Castle, and they're still wearing badges!" Tron glanced out, then raised his crossbow and shot through the hole in the door. The armor-piercing bolt hit the zombie's head with precision, and then exploded with a slight burst of lightning. One zombie fell, and the other three remained unmoved, continuing to chop.

"You want to kill us with this monster?" said Georgdor, frowning and looking out, while Tron shot another one. The zombies outside the gate were still wielding axes, the gate had been slashed to pieces, and only a few iron bars were still holding on. In this way, it is more convenient to shoot. Annie drew her bow and pinned a zombie to the wall opposite the door with a single arrow.

The zombie wasn't dead. It threw the axe out of its hand with both hands and slammed it against the door. This time, the door finally shattered, and the zombie at the door used its claws to pick up the fragments, stretched out its head and drilled in.

Georgdo swung his scimitar and slashed off the head that was close at hand. "That's it? Five zombies are coming? What's the use of that?"

Before the words fell, the zombie on the wall suddenly exploded, and countless lightning bolts appeared in front of everyone like fireworks. Most of the lightning bolts hit the walls, and only a few managed to get through the doors. Chaudor raised his hand to block it, only to feel a burning burn in his arm, and the lightning left a row of black scorch marks.

"The corpses will blow up! Throw them out!" Bennie grabbed the half-cut corpse stuffed in the doorway and pushed it out. Just then, the second corpse exploded, still in all directions. Everyone hurriedly dodged, and Feige hid in the impact blind spot on the side of the doorway.

"I see, the monster is out there!" Bennie had just finished saying when another one blew up outside. She hurriedly fell to the ground, shouting, "It's the monster, it's using some kind of spell." ”

"Leave the outside alone, get rid of the inside. Feige pointed to the dead clerk zombie. "Throw it into the secret passage!"

Together, Giordot and Tron threw the zombie into the secret passage, then closed the cupboard door. A fourth explosion rang out outside, this time the most violent, the entire door shattered, and pieces of wood flew and crackled against the walls of the room. Fortunately, the iron bar was not blown away, but it also became like a broken fence, lying crookedly on the ground.

A tall black figure appeared in the doorway, almost three meters tall. It hunched and curled up, its black bat's wings tucked behind it, its long whip-like tail writhing in balance. It is elongated, black, and has a baboon-like face. The monster opened its mouth, and between the sharp teeth, where it should have been a tongue, half a human head appeared.

Only the first half of Hood's head remained, and his gloomy and terrifying face rattled at the crowd. Tron raised his hand to a crossbow! The monster tilted its body and easily avoided it.

"Soul ......," said the monster, "I'm going to devour you." ”
