Chapter 45: The Ghost
Soon the group came to a small square, and a straight stone street faced them across the square.
At the end of the street is a collapsed shrine, with only silent statues and magnificent shrines telling of its former glory.
Keeping their guard on their feet, they slowly walked through the plaza and down the broken stone slabs of the street to the front of the temple, where there were no monsters to be seen, and it was very quiet, except for the foul wind from the dungeon that made an annoying howl through the black windows of the temple.
"There's weirdness here!" Aquatic weed clenched the elven longbow in his hand, squinting his eyes at a place in the darkness.
Su Bai raised the shield in his hand to protect his chest, drew out the Glaive Knife and walked forward step by step.
"Kerala ......" A piece of gravel was accidentally kicked by Qin Tian. The stone rolled past Su Bai and on the ground.
Suddenly, there was a slight tremor on the ground, and there was a loud noise. The seemingly ordinary ground suddenly popped out with a large piece of fine iron spear.
"There are traps! Be careful! Several people shouted. Su Bai was startled and immediately stepped back. After a while, the spears slowly sank downward, hidden between the cracks in the tiles.
Several people looked at each other and let out a long sigh of relief.
"Oh my God, it's too dangerous here. There is such a trap. Isn't this harmful, who can think of it in ordinary people. If you are not careful on the way, you will be dressed as a sugar gourd? Miller looked surprised.
"Yes, if it weren't for the stone that Qin Tian accidentally kicked, Su Bai would have been hit." Serena had an incredulous expression on her face.
"Well, I owe you another favor." Su Bai helplessly patted Qin Tian on the shoulder.
"Don't even look at me, I'm completely shit lucky. This is called crooked fighting, haha, who let us be stupid people and have stupid blessings! Qin Tian was also confused.
But he knew in his heart that the stone, of course, was kicked on purpose.
The location of the trap on this road was bought by countless people in the previous life with their blood and lives, and in the previous life, I don't know how many ignorant people died in this trap. Especially the intelligence sister and mage who have less blood and low defense, once they step on it, they will be more than lucky.
"Come on, I'll throw rocks all the way. Everyone walks on the sidelines. Qin Tian slowly walked along the wall with the cautious crowd.
Thankfully, I didn't find any more traps after walking through the area. Of course, Qin Tian knew in his heart that he was already safe, and there would be no other traps ahead.
But the others were still facing the enemy, and kept throwing stones everywhere. Nor can he say that he can only let them be tempted.
They stepped over the rotten door that had fallen to the ground and entered the half-collapsed hall of the shrine, which was huge and empty, and a suspicious, clammy black mist hung over the surroundings and the roof, and even with the help of torches in their hands, they could not see the details of the hall, and only some ornate and intricate patterns could be seen on the broken tables, chairs, and walls, showing the glory of this place.
"Hey!" The shield in Su Bai's hand, who was walking in the forefront, slammed into the upper right, and the golden light on the steel shield flashed to stimulate the holy shield defense.
A pair of black bone claws that emerged from the mist slowly pulled away from the shield, the claws were so sharp that the sharp claw armor made a piercing grinding sound that made the roots of the steel shield squirm.
Then, a vague humanoid figure was completely revealed in the mist, about a person tall, the upper half of the body was wrapped in a black cloak and the face was unrecognizable, and the lower half of the body was a virtual fog floating in the air.
"Be careful! And all around! Qin Tian drew his weapon and shouted.
He pushed Serena into the middle of the crowd, the Glaive in his hand already slashing into the mist behind him, the blade slashing through the mist to something that essentially made a dull sound.
A hoarse scream full of resentment slammed through the mist and hit him, this sharp cry seemed to appear directly in the depths of his soul, like a needle stirring his nerves, even Qin Tian, who was as resolute as iron, couldn't help but grit his teeth and frown.
Under Qin Tian's reminder, everyone who had been on guard for a long time immediately entered the battle state when they noticed that something was wrong.
Four or five vague black figures appeared in the mist. Skull-like black faces loom from under the hood, and their sharp bone claws are their deadly weapons.
They sit somewhere between the real and the unreal, floating in the fog and mid-air, longing for fresh flesh.
"Protect Serena and Miller!" Qin Tian didn't have time to say more, the glaive knife in his hand emitted a red-white sword, and the dragon slammed into the ghost behind him, and the huge skill impact force drove the hit ghost to turn around in mid-air, making it lose control of its body for a while.
Su Bai had already fought with the ghosts that appeared in front of him, and with the shield and the glaive knife in his hand, he firmly attracted the two ghosts that suddenly appeared, so as to give Selena behind him enough time to release the blessing.
At this time, Serena had calmed down from the initial panic, after all, everyone had been fighting in this dungeon for a long time. She's no longer the little girl who is helpless when she encounters monsters.
She didn't look at the terrifying figures floating in mid-air, she knew she was safe as long as she was in the middle of the group.
She now has infinite trust in these companions around her, especially those two men's broad shoulders will shield her from all kinds of dangers.
She firmly remembered what Qin Tian said to her, no matter how fierce the battle was, she just had to work hard to do her own thing, which was the greatest help to the team.
In a low whisper, green defensive shields and red god of war power appeared on everyone, and Serena remembered the release order that Qin Tian emphasized, first herself, then Miller, then water grass, and finally two warriors.
There was a biting chill in the air, and there was a soft sound of ice crystals frozing.
The two ghosts that pounced on them from the side suddenly condensed a large cloud of ice in an instant, and the sharp ice ice pierced the phantom's defenses, and the bitter cold air spread, and the miserable white frost immediately covered their whole bodies, making their bodies stagnate.
Miller's skull staff swung in succession to unleash the newly learned Freezing Technique, and he knew that the two ghosts rushing from the side were the biggest threat to him, and it was imperative to delay their attack.
Serena's green shield blessed his body, which somewhat relieved his nervousness.
It's a pity that Miller's Freezing Technique can't last much for a long time, and the two ghosts who have been frozen only pause slightly, shake their bodies and get rid of the shackles of Ice Cube.
Although his body was still covered in a large area of frost, his movement was slow, but he still let out an angry scream and threw himself at Miller. Their screams have a psychic attack stat that is even more powerful against low-level creatures.
Miller, who was only in his 20s, was hit by the screams of two ghosts at the same time, and immediately felt a headache and stood on the spot, his eyes straight and blood flowing from his ears and nose.
A black arrow with green life force on it suddenly appeared on the left side of a ghost, and then split into three, fanning through the defense and drilling into the ghost's body, the rich life breath on the arrow is more destructive for the ghost, a necromantic creature like a ghost.
White smoke rose from its body wherever the arrow went, and the spots around the wound seemed to be corroded by strong acid.
The badly battered ghost was furious, screaming, and immediately turned to grab a vague figure, but it still remained frozen and slowed down, and its movements were not as fast as normal, allowing the other party to easily dodge.
