Chapter 319: In-Depth Investigation (I)

The massive Abomination, apparently unaware of the fact that a human was observing him, staggered over to the tongs pot, sniffing around like a naughty child.

And as a large amount of smoke was inhaled into its body, exactly the same smoke began to emerge inexplicably around its body, and the fat that was originally loose and falling unconsciously turned into compact muscles, especially the two exaggerated arms, which smashed the tombstone more than half a meter thick with just a slight wave.

"Oh, this abomination seems to have been strengthened by the plague you unleashed......" Varna Morningsong teased in a rather nasty manner.

Obviously, she was still angry at the unpleasantness that had just happened, and wanted to see some self-righteous guy make a fool of himself.

The corners of Zhang Cheng's mouth twitched slightly involuntarily, and he deliberately shrugged his shoulders with a pretending to be indifferent: "Don't worry, it's just a shoddy and defective product, and I'll solve it soon." ”

"Solution? Do you have less than half of your mana left? No kidding! It's an abomination! One of the most tenacious and hard-to-kill monsters of all the undead. The elf rolled her eyes angrily.

"Difficulty is always relative, and even if I only have half of my magic left, it's not too difficult to deal with an abomination. With that, Zhang Cheng quietly drank a bottle of secondary stealth potion, and the whole person shook in the air twice and disappeared without a trace.

Just as a few night watchmen were trying to figure out why a large living person had disappeared for no apparent reason, a sudden fire lit up in the air in the distance, followed by a jerky incantation echoing in their ears.

In just a few seconds, a huge fireball with a diameter of more than a meter flew straight in the direction of the abomination.

Next Second......

Rumble!

The flame explosion technique comparable to a baby bath was impartial and smashed on the head of the abomination, and in the moment of the violent explosion, it took several steps backwards in a row, and the high-temperature flames burned the parts above the neck to a charred black.

"Roar!!eat...... Eat...... Eat...... I'm going to eat you!"

The sudden attack undoubtedly aroused its manic and ferocious nature, and it immediately wheeled its axe and hook, intending to tear apart the tiny humans who had sneaked up on it, and then swallow it as a supplement.

Unfortunately, Abomination had barely begun to charge, and an ice arrow with a piercing chill struck one after another, piercing the knee of one of the legs and freezing all around the knee in a very short period of time, greatly limiting its movement speed.

"Hmph! After all, it is still a low-level life that has no ability to think independently and acts completely on instinct, even if it has a strong vitality, what can it do? Without the wisdom to match, it can only become a fish and meat to be slaughtered on the board. Zhang Cheng sneered, turned around and cast a flash spell to widen the distance, chanted the spell of the fire explosion technique again, and smashed the second large fireball into the opponent's face, followed by a cold ice arrow.

With the help of the ice arrow's slowdown, he easily confined his massive foes from a safe distance, and used one fire after another to kill the abomination in the path of the charge, without giving the opponent a chance to get close to him the whole time.

Despite stealing a pre-prepared mana ruby due to lack of mana, he still proves a classic quote in the game with naked reality, no matter how powerful a warrior is, he is just a wretched creature to be played with in front of a mage.

"Your Excellency, Master, you ...... You killed an abomination!a true undead abomination?!" Althea ran over at some point, her hand holding her sword trembling slightly, her eyes showing undisguised respect and adoration.

Looking at the corpse that exuded a strong smell of decay not far ahead, Zhang Cheng shook his head with a serious expression: "No, strictly speaking, it is just an unfinished work, lacking the souls necessary for top-level undead. Look at this, almost half of the stitches are new, and now I have reason to suspect that there is a necromancer or alchemist hiding within Raven Ridge. ”

"Damn, what should we do next?" asked Althea through her sword and gritted her teeth.

"It's easy! most of the lower undead have been wiped out by the plague right now, so we'd better go inside and investigate. I'd also like to figure out why the Twilight Forest is so big, and only the Necropolis of Raven Ridge is affected. Zhang Cheng bluntly stated the purpose of his trip.

Although it is never revealed in the game why the remains of the Crow Ridge Tomb** are awakened, the parchment scrolls give a task to unravel the truth hidden behind the scenes.

Obviously, the large number of undead in Raven Ridge was by no means affected by the curse of Karazhan as rumored by the outside world, but for another reason.

Hearing that she was going to go deep into the tomb, Althea suddenly became a little hesitant, and it took a full minute before she cautiously suggested: "Your Excellency, since most of the low-level undead have been emptied, why don't I send someone back to Night Town and mobilize some more night watchmen to help?"

"No! There's no need for that! We'll rest for the night in the ghost town, and by the way, we'll set up two tongs and continue to consume the number of undead, and we'll leave early tomorrow morning. Zhang Cheng gave the order in an unquestioning tone.

"Okay, I'll arrange it, you can have a good rest tonight, and everything will be left to you. Althea gave a deep bow to her chest with one hand, and turned to walk towards a few of her men, intending to arrange the work.

But before he could take a few steps, Zhang Cheng suddenly shouted, "Wait! Dig open the chest of this abomination, if you guess correctly, it should have condensed a piece of necromantic essence in its heart." ”

"Necromantic Essence?" Althea was slightly stunned, and hurriedly raised her sword and stabbed it into the heart of the abomination.

Moment!

A mass of blue-purple glow jumped out with disgusting blood!

It was like a crystal, but it was eerily hairy, as if something was constantly swimming inside, and even a piercing scream could be heard when you got closer.

There is no doubt that this is the necromantic essence that can only be conceived in the bodies of some high-level necromancers, which is a crystallization of death and shadow energy, which can be used to make high-level magic items and concoct alchemy potions.

"Yes, maybe it's not very pure, but it's barely enough. Seeing the glittering energy crystals lying on the ground, Zhang Cheng nodded with satisfaction.

With both Life Essence and Necromantic Essence, he can start experimenting with interesting explorations, such as extracting life, resurrecting the dead, strengthening the undead, and so on.

In short, the more he learned about channeling and death spells, the more he felt that life and death were not necessarily eternal opposites, as they were advertised, but should be a ring, an infinite cycle......
