For Connie, Fang Zheng didn't pay any attention to it, he knew that the other party was more seriously injured than himself, and the Templars of Marte were not very proficient in healing, in fact, the priest in charge of healing in their group had been killed in the previous ambush battle, which was why Malt's group fought so hard. If it weren't for Fang Zheng who later treated a few people, then I'm afraid they haven't been able to recover their combat effectiveness now.

Despite Connie's trouble, in any case, Fang Zheng and Stone were halfway through the task, and they had already found the Templars who remained here. Logically speaking, just bring them back and you can get these things done. However, it seems that neither Malte nor Stone seem to be planning to leave at the moment.

Malte was aware of the lich's schemes, and Stone didn't know what had happened here, but he also sensed that something was wrong——— in fact, when Stone arrived, he, Connie, and Miss M spotted the undead here, and not only that, but they also saw the undead capture the Templars in the quarry. In order to find out what these undead creatures wanted to do, and also to rescue his colleagues, Stone chose to enter the investigation alone, he originally asked Connie to come back and bring a message to Miss M, so as not to let this poor eldest lady think wildly, but he didn't expect to collide with Fang Zheng, and then ......... Hey, what do you call it?

"We don't have any time to waste now, the lich must have sensed what was going on up there."

As Stone spoke, he glared at Connie and Fang Zheng angrily, and in the face of his gaze, Connie lowered his head and said nothing, while Fang Zheng also shrugged his shoulders and put on a look of not doing my business. Looking at the reaction of the two, Stone also rolled his eyes helplessly, and then looked at Malte again.

"What do you say? Malte? ”

“………………”

Malte pondered for a moment in response to Stone's inquiry, and then he looked up at Stone again.

"Are you sure my colleague is still alive?"

"At least they were alive when they were taken in, and now......... I can't guarantee it. ”

“……………”

This time, Malte was silent for a longer time, and then he glanced at the others, seemed to have made up his mind, and spoke.

"Stone, I need your help with something."

"Say."

"I hope you can help get that lich's attention, and then ......... We'll find an opportunity to rush in and see if we can rescue our companions, and if we can, maybe crush the dark ritual they want to complete........."

With that, Malte turned his head to look at Connie.

"This girl also pleases you, she is seriously injured now, she has no combat effectiveness, and it is just a burden to take her there, it is better to stay here. If we can't come back, then please take her back to the temple. ”

"You ..............."

Hearing this, Stone was stunned for a moment, and even Fang Zheng's eyes widened and he stared at Malte. He is not a fool, of course he understands what Malte means by this sentence, if it sounds to ordinary people, it seems a little unkind to make Malte's request, but as long as you think about it carefully, you will find that this request is simply no pressure on Stone and Fangzheng!

Since Malte was only asking them to be used as bait to attract the lich's attention, frankly, it wasn't difficult, and there wasn't much danger. On the contrary, Malte and they want to go deep into the trap because of this, after all, Stone and Fang Zheng only need to be responsible for taunting on the periphery, and pulling the boss over to run. And Malte and they have to go all the way to the most core area, although Malte said that they are to rescue their colleagues, but Stone and Fang Zheng are not fools, that lich spent so much thought on the dark ritual, then the core area must be full of dangers, Marte and the others said in the past that they wanted to destroy the other party's plan and save people, but it can be guessed that they will almost certainly never return.

Fang Zheng frowned, but looking at Shi Dong beside him, he didn't say much. To be honest, Malte and the others are indeed worthy of the title of Templars, and frankly speaking, he can't bear to see the other party go to death, but now that Malte has obviously made a decision in his heart, and Stone doesn't seem to plan to stop it, then Fang Zheng can't speak again.

“……… All right. ”

Eventually, Stone let out a long sigh.

"Marte, come back alive, I'm still waiting for you to invite me to drink."

"Don't worry, I won't die so easily."

After saying this, Malte smiled and waved his hand at Fang Zheng and Miss M, then turned around and left with his companion, and looking at Malte's back, Fang Zheng was completely speechless......... The flags on your back are three meters high, Grand Knight of Malte, how can I save you? And Stone, you are also very happy to plant the flag, can't you be merciful to your colleagues? Don't you know that you can stay a line and see each other in the future? You planted all the flags like this, are people worthy of you if they don't die?

"Alright, let's do it too."

Of course, Stone didn't know what Fang Zheng was slandering behind him, he just quietly watched Malte's back disappear, and then turned to look at Fang Zheng.

"You know, our task is to attract the attention of the lich, fortunately, you and that girl just now were in the dark, I guess the lich has already noticed that something is wrong, and then we just need to drag the lich out and let it have no time to take care of it."

"Drag it out? How to drag? ”

Hearing Stone's order, Fang Zheng was also stunned, staring at his mentor in surprise. Frankly speaking, after staying with Stone for so long, Fang Zheng also knew a lot about Stone , and in his opinion, this big knight was more like a fierce general who led the charge and was not good at these strategic plans or anything. Because of this, after hearing Stone's order, Fang Zheng suddenly had a rather bad premonition.

In the face of Fang Zheng's inquiry, Stone clenched his fists, showed his white teeth at him, and smiled heartily.

"Of course, it went straight in!!"

“…………………”

For the first time, Fang Zheng felt that he should change his mentor......... Maybe Malte is a good choice?

At this moment, deep under the dark, gloomy quarry, there is a different scene.

In the huge underground cavern, the dark blue flames flickered and burned, and in the very center of the cavity, a blood-smeared circle was shining with a faint light. Directly above the circle, a lich wrapped in black robes suspended in the air, its head raised, and the scarlet light flickered from time to time in its hollow eyes. Then, the lich looked at the skeleton soldiers beside him and gave the order in a low voice.

"You guys, go see what's going on out there."

Hearing the lich's order, the heavily armed skeleton soldiers saluted him respectfully, then turned and walked away in unison. They were once brave warriors, but now they are immortal slaves, their souls unable to rest and helplessly surrender to the forces of darkness and death.

That's right, darkness and death are the true meaning of this world.

Thinking of this, the scarlet flame suddenly jumped in the lich's eyes, and then it gave the order.

"Bring the offerings here."

Soon, at the lich's command, two tall necromantic giants approached with a Templar in their arms. The Templar looked young, but he was also seriously injured and looked weak. He stared viciously at the lich in front of him, his eyes revealing flames of rage.

"You cursed undead creature, your plot will not succeed, and everything you do will be judged by justice!"

"It's boring."

The lich just snorted at the young knight's words, and then it raised its hand and pointed at the young knight. Soon, a pitch-black beam of light shot out from the lich's fingertips and struck the young knight in the chest.

"Ah......... Yes..................! ”

And after being struck by this pitch-black beam, the young knight's face turned pale, and he opened his mouth and let out a wail of pain. His body began to tremble, and then he saw bright red blood gushing out from the mouth, nose, eyes and ears of the young knight like a waterfall, and the young knight seemed to have suffered a great pain because of this, he opened his mouth and instinctively wanted to scream, but before the sound could be made, he was completely blocked by the blood gushing out of his throat.

"Uh......... Woo!! ”

At this moment, the young knight's eyes were even wider, and his hands clutched at his throat, like a drowning man trying to struggle to breathe, but no matter how he struggled, he could not breathe a little air. Because the "water" that drowned him did not come from the outside, but from the inside of his body!!

“—————！！！”

Eventually, the young knight's body began to twitch wildly, and he waved his hands and opened his mouth as if he was crazy, but he couldn't make a sound, only blood mixed with bubbles spurted out of his mouth and flowed down his body to the ground. And the young knight also lost his movement at this moment, and completely turned into a corpse.

He drowned alive in his own blood!

Although the young knight died, the blood flowing from his body did not stop because of this, and slowly, I saw that the young knight's body began to dry up like a leaky balloon, and finally, he became a dry corpse with skin and bones. And that blood, under the influence of some mysterious power, slowly formed a huge bright red circle. And at the moment when the circle was completed, suddenly, a void figure emerged from the middle of the circle, and it waved its hands desperately, trying to escape from this evil place. But the next moment, the figure was pulled back like a dog chained, and disappeared into the circle again.

Immediately after, I saw that in the center of the circle, a sarcophagus shook suddenly, and then fell silent again.

"It's still not enough........."

Looking at the circle in front of him, the lich snorted coldly, and then it silently gave the order.

"Next."
