Chapter 13: Midnight Terror

Standing outside the door, Felder unconsciously stepped into the room, gradually approaching the table.

Suddenly, the table disappeared along with my mother, along with the light of the candles, and the whole room was suddenly covered in darkness. The cold moonlight reflected a figure in front of the window, he held a sword in his right hand, and the sword body reflected a little cold star, and if you looked closely, the person seemed to be Brad!

Brad paused, didn't speak, and stabbed his sword straight at Felder. Felder was so frightened and frightened that he didn't have time to turn around and run.

"Knock knock......" Felder rushed down the stairs in a panic, nearly colliding with an oncoming man. If you look closely, it turns out to be Vane.

"Vane, where have you been, and what about the others?" Felder was surprised and delighted. There was something strange about this room, and even if he held a sharp weapon in his hand, his back was cold, and the hairs on his body stood up.

"I just saw Brad in the upstairs room, and he was going to kill me with a sword like crazy. Felder added quickly.

Vane didn't answer, and made a gesture not to speak, pointing upstairs to follow him. Felder followed after Vane, feeling more and more that something was wrong. When did Vane's body recover so well? He still needed someone to help him before going to bed just now, and now he walked faster than himself. Thinking of Brad's appearance just now, the more Felder thought about it, the more wrong it became, and he stepped back lightly.

"Squeak......" Felder stepped on the wooden floor of the doorway, he had tried to keep himself as silent as possible, but the old floors didn't seem to buy it. I don't know what the hell this is, Felder cursed to himself, he couldn't even tell if it was a dream or a reality. Suddenly, he felt as if something had grabbed his left arm, and a force caused his body to stumble to the side.

Felder was startled, felt a tingling in his scalp, and stretched out his right hand to draw his sword.

"Felder, it's me!" a deliberately muffled voice came. It was Vane's voice, and it was Vane, what was going on, and Felder's brain seemed to have stopped.

"Follow me first. Felder was pulled by Vane and took three or two steps into the storage room, where Vane gently closed the door.

"Are you really Vane?" Felder asked. This seemingly funny question made his heart beat out at this time.

"You've seen those things, do they talk?" Vane asked. It seems that this is indeed the case, whether it is "Brad" or "Vane" just now, it seems that they have not said a word. Felder's hanging heart fell for a moment.

"I've seen this strange beast in the book, it should be a forest spirit, they will transform into human form, and use the hallucinogenic effect of wisteria flowers to hallucinate people, trick and torture their prey to make them mentally break, and then kill them. Vane explained in a low voice.

"So what now?Elena, where are they??," Vane's explanation dispelled some of Felder's doubts, but he was still distracted, and spat out a barrage of questions.

"Don't worry, they should have gone into hiding. Forest spirits don't do anything until they've tortured their prey, and they don't have the ability to confront humans head-on. Vane said.

"That Brad almost killed me just now!" Felder tried to keep his emotions to himself.

"That's just an illusion, to see what you're afraid of......"

"I really want to unscrew their little heads with my own hands. Felder gritted his teeth.

"Listen to me first. When I woke up, I found a wisteria petal on my clothes, and then I saw my uncle in the study, and I guessed that it was Lin Jing's trick. First of all, Brad, plus Ace and my visions, and as far as I can see, there are at least three forest elves here. Although individual forest spirits are not very powerful, they are agile and vindictive, and we will be in a very bad situation if we escape. I have an idea......"

While Vane and Felder were discussing what to do, Elena, Eath, Simpson, and Brad were hiding in the first room in the corridor on the second floor. The room was small, with a small bed by the window, and Elena and Ise sat on the edge of the bed.

"Hell, what is this? or I'm going to go out and fight them. Simpson walked around irritablely.

"What are you fighting for, have you ever fought ghosts? These are the ghosts that must have died unjustly in this house, taking on our form to warn us to leave their territory. Brad said gloomily, deliberately making a frightening gesture towards Ise.

Tears rolled in Ace's eyes, Elena held Eth's trembling hand, and said with some annoyance: "If you have the ability, go out and drive them away, what kind of man is bullying Ace here." ”

Just then, Felder cried downstairs: "Ah, my head hurts...... I was wrong, I don't know what I did wrong, please let me go......" His emotions seemed to collapse, and the miserable voice echoed throughout the house.

Elena and Ace looked at each other, got up and walked to the door.

On the floor in the middle of the living room, Felder was on his knees, his forearms propped up on the floor, holding his head in his hands and crying, sometimes pounding the ground with his hands, sometimes laughing maniacally, if Vane hadn't known the situation, he would have thought Felder was crazy.

After a while, a small green monster came out of the study, it was about half a meter tall, and its body was bent, and its skin looked like green silt. It has a pair of long ears on both sides of its head, and it sways up and down when it walks.

The forest spirit came to Felder's side, squeaking and making a cacophony like the sound of metal rubbing against each other. While gesturing with his hands and feet, he doesn't know what to do. Immediately afterwards, three more forest spirits appeared one after another, and they were constantly communicating with each other.

Suddenly, the cacophony was gone, and the forest spirits gathered around Felder.

This is now!Vane stood in the shadows outside the storeroom door, chanting a spell aloud. It was an even more obscure spell, with a pale blue flow of electricity on the inscription on the sapphire staff. He grasped the staff with both hands, and the powerful surge of energy made the hand holding the staff seem to tremble slightly. In the next second, several clusters of blue lightning erupted from the staff's head, and almost simultaneously, the bodies of the four green forest spirits were all struck by lightning and fell to the ground.

Forked lightning is a medium-level light magic that requires four magical herbs: sulfur, spider silk, thunderstone, and mistletoe. Thunderstone is a relatively rare ore, which generally exists in the depths of ore veins, but in lightning magic, thunderstone does not consume much, and mainly plays the role of an introduction.

Vane sat down on the ground with exhaustion, this was the first time he had used intermediate magic in actual combat, and the previous poisoned body was still recovering, which almost drained all his energy at once. Of course, the power of the performance is probably less than one-tenth of the normal, but the success of the cast is enough to make a magic apprentice proud.

"Wayne, are you alright?" Elena and the others ran down the stairs.

"Be careful!" Felder shouted, and a short, dark green figure ran towards Elena and them like a gust of wind.
