Chapter 168: The Snail (Part II)

"Assert ......"

An eerie laugh seemed to encircle Sistrom from all directions, and the tentacles on top of Sistrom's head swayed back and forth as he turned his head to look around.

Heatham never found out where the strange laughter came from.

Although he was used to seeing corpses, the corpses of ordinary creatures did not disturb Sistemm in the slightest.

But the lizardman who committed suicide, coupled with the laughter that could not find the source, created an eerie atmosphere that made Sistham feel like he was entering a terrifying plot, and if it weren't for the noisy mosquitoes flying around, perhaps this eerie atmosphere would have been more serious.

"Ahem......"

In the midst of an eerie strange laugh, Systm suddenly heard several very painful coughs.

It turned out that the coughing sound was nothing else, it was the Western Lizardman who had been poked in the throat by the shadow and had not been completely dead, and it had not completely died.

Sistemm thought for a moment, reached out his tentacles and unleashed the power of the druids [Healing Power] in an attempt to keep the lizardman alive, and then summoned the truth and explained what this eerie laugh was.

The [Healing Power] from the Druids works wonders on healing creatures' wounds, and the wounds on the lizardmen's necks begin to heal at a rate visible to the naked eye.

Unfortunately, there is still a lot of hope for rescuing the lizardman who is not dead in the first place, but after a few minutes, the lizardman who is not dead has already lost too much blood, and after coughing up a mouthful of blood again, the lizardman still died of excessive blood loss.

Until the lizardman died, the strange laughter around him did not disappear, and inexplicable footsteps appeared around.

Something similar to the sound of a humanoid species walking through the dirt, but like the strange laughter that was still being made, the new footsteps of Sistemm had no source to be found.

It seemed that the footsteps were right next to him, but there was nothing next to him.

And just as Sistrom was wondering, a strange figure 1.7 meters tall suddenly appeared more than twenty meters away from Sistum.

The strange laughter and footsteps that surrounded Systm also showed their bearings, as if they were the result of the sudden figure.

The figure appears to be a humanoid being, wearing a black robe with a hood, and the cuffs and hood of the robe are embroidered with precious unknown gold patterns, which looks very mysterious.

However, compared to the hood on the figure, Sistrem's attention was focused on the huge scythe that the figure grasped.

The giant scythe was about 3 meters long and was completely black, with only a silver glow on the blade.

The strange appearance of the humanoid creature gave Sistemm some oppressive feelings, but it didn't give Sistem's [intuition] any warning of danger.

And [intuition] the absence of a warning of danger is precisely the greatest warning.

"Could it be that this humanoid creature is something like the Lord of the Glacier or the evil god Rafal?"

Sistemm muttered to himself that only those otherworldly beings could render Sistrem's [intuition] useless.

However, Sistemm did not feel any extraordinary oppression in this humanoid creature, and it was completely different from the fear he had when facing the frost dragon Orah or the evil god Rafal.

Sistemm didn't act rashly, telling Shava and Meatball on the side to stay calm, and quietly watched the black-robed figure walking towards him.

The figure finally stopped fifteen meters away from Systm, stopped smiling strangely, and at the same time let out an unpredictable voice: "Wandering and ignorant creatures, give your souls, and I will grant you eternal life." ”

The voice of the figure was very peculiar, like a man not a man, like a woman but not a woman, and mixed with some mental fluctuations, with a sense of demagogy, trying to encourage Sistemm to sacrifice his soul with Shava and Meatball.

But this kind of bewitchment is too weak for Sistem, who often sends spiritual messages, and even the Shava and Meat Ball next to Sistemm are easily out of bewitchment under the reminder of Sistum's spiritual messages.

And just when Syst got rid of the bewitchment, Heatham suddenly noticed something unusual about the black-robed figure.

This level of the abyss was filled with countless mosquitoes, and Systham found that the black-robed man seemed to be not a physical entity, and the mosquitoes flying in the air shuttled back and forth in the black-robed man's robes, and even the big scythe like steel, there were many mosquitoes shuttling in it.

Is it a spirit-like ghost?

No.

Probably not a ghost.

Heatham looked puzzled, and quickly figured out something that was wrong.

The black-robed figure fifteen meters away was not a spirit, but a false illusion.

Because if the black-robed figure is a spirit, then the strange footsteps formed before cannot be explained, because the spirit body will not produce any footsteps at all.

This is also why the black-robed figure stopped moving about fifteen meters away from Heatham, because if he got too close, Heatham would find that the black-robed figure was being shuttled by mosquitoes without hindrance.

The existence of the manipulating illusion obviously did not expect Sistum's super vision, although in the dense fog, but the mosquitoes fifteen meters away, Sistrom could still clearly observe.

Systham immediately uses the ability to identify things in the [Tools Menu] to outline things in a shimmering light.

The outline of the illusion was much finer than the one created by the nezumi wizard, but it still made Systm see some flaws.

This black-robed figure is indeed a false illusion.

In this way, the absence of a warning of danger from Systm's previous [intuition] made a reasonable explanation.

Because the false illusion did not threaten Systm's abilities at all.

……

Realizing all this, Systm did not take action, and since he found out that the other party was a non-threatening illusion, he did not mind putting on a show with the other party to observe what the existence that manipulated the illusion was trying to do.

"What is a soul?"

Heatham looked at the phantom more than a dozen meters away, and a hoarse voice came out of his mouth.

The phantom let out another series of strange laughter, and the black-robed phantom with a scythe gradually floated into the air.

"Soul ......"

The phantom continued to make a kaleidoscopic sound, but the phantom was saying that it was good, but suddenly disappeared, completely losing its movement......

Sistemm was wondering why the illusion had disappeared from more than ten meters away, when he found that the shadow that had disappeared before was grasping a round carapace about thirty centimeters long and flying towards him.

The round carapace is yellowish-brown in color and somewhat resembles a snail.

When Shadow throws the carapace in the dirt, Heatham discovers that what Shadow has caught is indeed a snail.

However, unlike normal snails, this snail has a pair of anthropomorphic arms.

Sistemm was puzzled and about to examine the snail with his tentacles, when he received a spiritual message from Ei.

It turned out that this snail was the guy who had just created the illusion......
