Chapter 177: Mysterious Spirit
Zhao Xu didn't have a fast pace because he had to control his footsteps.
He stared closely at the shadows of the anomaly the whole time, and if something was out of the ordinary, the "Fireball Technique" of the Eternal Wand in his hand would be thrown out mercilessly.
It's just that the bushes that have moved a little bit have not made any strange noises after that.
When Zhao Xu approached the bushes, he stretched out the wooden stick in his hand to explore while being on guard.
But nothing was found.
It's as if it's just a rabbit-like creature disturbed.
At this time, there was a whirring wind sound in the forest, accompanied by the shaking of the branches, and it was indescribably cold.
The eerie feeling of the night in the countryside is also somewhat of what prompts those new mages to go offline.
And Zhao Xu is his own cloak that is almost semi-immune to physical damage, which gives him a strong sense of security.
Wearing this cloak, he is like driving a truck around here, and with invisibility, it is even more incomprehensible.
Suddenly, a crow rose up in the depths of the jungle in the distance and swept towards the sky.
After seeing this scene, Zhao Xu gave up the idea of circling around the bonfire for the original heart, and continued to walk in the direction where the crow flew.
It was also thanks to his dark vision that he could clearly see the direction of the crow.
The path in the forest ahead slowly became narrower. Many places were densely packed with bushes, and Zhao Xu could only barely step over.
After crossing a stream, Zhao Xu found that he had come to a cemetery.
Except for a few dirt bags and tombstones, most of them are neatly stacked in that desolate area.
At this time, the corners of Zhao Xu's eyebrows jumped.
His gaze crossed the forest of tombstones and landed in the depths of the jungle in the distance, and he saw the light of the fire.
Choosing a bonfire party in this kind of place is also a little chic.
At this time, Zhao Xu gently took out his holy emblem, and after giving himself a few more protective methods, he bowed slightly and lurked forward.
It wasn't until he got closer that he realized that there were five teenage youths in front of him, sitting around a campfire, and a rudimentary pattern was deliberately stacked with stones.
The mysterious bonfire in the center is a little erratic, indescribably weird.
"Why is this spell so awkward?" One of the slightly chubby young men complained.
Sitting next to him was a freckled woman, who gently tugged at the sleeve of the young man's coat, indicating not to talk too much.
The freckled women's outfits look like they came out of the nearby women's literary college, and many aristocrats like to send their daughters there to receive cultural education.
A tall, thin man, standing in front of a bonfire with a book of books in front of the campfire, with a gold wire frame hanging from the bridge of his nose, his expression was heavy.
"Let's follow me and pray this mantra so that Lisa can hear our call." At this time, the tall and thin man said.
"The undead who sink underground, the king who sleeps in darkness, the ...... of the dead who wander in the apocalypse"
Rite?
Zhao Xu, who saw this scene, didn't expect that he would actually see Arthur's resident performing magic rituals.
It's just that he hasn't guessed for a moment whether this ritual is the resurrection of the dead or the summoning of the undead.
But generally speaking, for rituals performed by ordinary people, these two are generally the same result.
Zhao Xu didn't expect that there would be a group of students from nearby civilian trainees here, who had nothing to do after eating, and went to the remote tombstone forest to engage in magic rituals.
Aren't you afraid of really getting into trouble?
Zhao Xu looked at the entire thirty-one and half-burned white candles on the outermost concentric circle, and those candle tears were even attached to the ground.
The thirty-one candles were half nailed to the ground like nails.
This shows that the ceremony has been carried out for the most part, and like a sailboat that has already crossed the sea, it is no longer so easy to pull back.
Any interruption of the ceremony, depending on its own power, Zhao Xu rashly interrupted, it was likely to cause disaster to the few academy students in front of him.
However, he was not too nervous, and with the Holy Emblem in his hand, he was more or less able to disperse the undead.
If there is really any abnormality, he can control it.
Zhao Xu is now equipped with powerful equipment, and his style of doing things is not as desperate as before.
The whole ceremony was performed by the tall and thin man in the middle, who first chanted a mantra, and then the remaining four cornered people followed suit.
It's just that the more Zhao Xu listens, the more wrong it becomes.
He noticed that the ritual's incantation seemed to be off.
Strange words are starting to appear.
Zhao Xu, who sensed that something was wrong, was already preparing to open his mouth to interrupt the ceremony.
It's just that he's constantly searching for knowledge and skills.
One of the most serious consequences of interrupting a ritual is to reverse the camp of the person performing the ritual, or simply summon another strange creature.
Zhao Xu pinched the seconds while preparing to insert a certain incantation that had been repeated, stopping the ritual of this group of students.
And so it was, until he was about to speak.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, absorbing all the heat of the surrounding air.
Then the tall and thin man who presided over the ceremony grabbed a handful of powder on the spot and threw it into the fire.
Suddenly, Zhao Xu was about to speak, but found that the voice could not come out at all.
[Adventurer Midsummer, you failed to exempt the effect of the ritual "Silence Technique", and the area fell into a state of silence]
Silent!
At this time, the four people who were still chanting the incantation for half of the time were also surprised, completely unable to understand what was happening.
This effect is the second-level divine art of the same name, "Silence Technique".
In addition to making it impossible for areas within a 6-meter radius to make sounds, it is also capable of blocking any spells with a "speech" component.
However, most of the spells that Zhao Xu learned, one of the key elements was spells.
You don't even have a cast pose or cast material.
However, Zhao Xu was very calm at the moment.
The only thing ordinary mages can do now is run out of the zone as quickly as possible, or cast a very small amount of spells that don't require words.
But Zhao Xu is different.
The "teleportation boots" under his feet could teleport him out of the range of silence without any words.
At the same time, he can also consume "potential points" to simulate the "Spell Silent Hair", a super magic specialty that needs to be improved.
Immediately afterward, the air, which had seemed to have been stagnant, resumed its flow.
The four people, who could only open and close their mouths and couldn't make a sound, recited the incantation smoothly.
Even Zhao Xu noticed that there was another reminder on his dynamic panel that the silence technique had been canceled.
But he knew it was too late.
The fireworks that kept jumping on the top of the campfire suddenly emitted a huge plume of smoke, and slowly a human figure enveloped in smoke began to appear.
"What do you ask of you calling me?"
The voice of the smoke body was very cold, and even the crimson eyes that were the only ones it projected were cold and ruthless.
"We want Lisa back." The man standing in front of the campfire said dryly, and then he looked guilty.
"Haha, sure enough, ignorant humans will only make such stupid requests to me."
At this time, the smoke body let out a deep mocking voice, "But great me, I am in a good mood today and meet your requirements." ”
"Since you know this ritual, you should know the rules."
At this time, the tall and thin man showed joy, and quickly nodded and said, "I know, it is written in the book, and I have prepared the sacrifices for the ceremony." ”
As he spoke, he hurriedly put down the book in his hand, lowered his head and lifted the bag that had just been placed on the ground, which contained the carcass of a goat.
"No, it's not enough. Restoring the body is one request, and bringing her back is another, isn't it possible that you want your girlfriend to live with a rotting body? At this moment, the spirit possessed by the smoke bewitched.
By the way, it pointed lightly to the ground with its finger, where Lisa was buried.
At this time, Zhao Xu also took out the staff in his hand.
He hadn't seen such a mysterious spirit that could make a wish in his previous summoning ritual in the Legendary Library.
In this case, he had already thought of the reward for solving this matter, which was the book in the hands of the tall and thin man.
According to the legendary library "Ludo", every book with magical powers that she did not have before can be exchanged for a magical item with her.
"Whatever you want, as long as I have it, I'll give it to you." At this time, the tall and thin man said anxiously.
"Very good, that great me, all I need is one thing"
As he spoke, the mysterious spirit that turned into smoke suddenly burst into a hideous smile, "That's your friends!" ”
As soon as the words fell, I saw that the four people who were originally sitting in the corner to follow the ceremony fell to the ground with a "plop" on the spot, apparently dead.
The tall and thin man suddenly collapsed, and he cried out: "Don't want it, I don't want it, I want them back." ”
At this time, the smoke-like mysterious spirit continued to laugh and said, "It's okay, who made me feel good today." ”
Immediately afterwards, the four dead people slowly stood up again, but each of them was pale, and their eyes looked straight at the tall and thin man in the middle.
Now in this instant, they have all been transformed into zombies.
"Don't worry, your Lisa will be back like them later." The spirit continued to smile strangely, as if satisfied with the tall and thin man's expression.
"Back in time."
Zhao Xu held the talisman in his hand and said silently.
Suddenly, all the surrounding scenes quickly regressed, and the ash that had been burned dry on the bonfire flew back into the original charcoal.
The yin wind that had just flowed past flew back upside down.
The faces of the four people who turned into zombies became ruddy, and their eyes that had been cloudy turned again, full of life.
They were all back to 6 seconds ago, back to the way they were before they died and fell to the ground.
Zhao Xu glanced at the man who was kneeling on the ground angrily at this time, held the staff in his hand and shouted to the spirit in front of him, "Get out." ”
Expulsion!
Zhao Xu looked at the mist that dissipated directly with a speechless expression, this year, he could only use the garbage spirit body that transformed zombies, and he dared to come here to pretend to be able to resurrect with prayer.
