Chapter 108: Black Mage
"Hooββ, hoo-"
Everyone escaped, relaxed, and began to gasp for breath, and Xu Wei, who had the worst physical strength, sat on the mud without a ladylike image, regardless of whether it would stain her clothes or not.
If Fanny and Hongluan hadn't protected her just now, it is estimated that Xu Wei would have fallen behind a long time ago, Rao is like this, this girl who has not suffered anything is too tired to stand up.
"I'll go, tired...... I'm exhausted! Doudou put his hands on his thighs and looked around: "I said that this place is a little weird, I always have an ominous premonition." β
An Xu tugged at the sweat-soaked clothes in the armor, endured the physical discomfort, and exhaled: "Everyone pay attention, these tree people obviously dare not set foot in this clearing, there must be something they are afraid of." β
Having said that, but An Xu really couldn't get the energy to investigate the surrounding situation again, he was the hardest one to break through just now, and every impact cost him a lot of physical strength, and in the end, he couldn't remember how many tree people he had knocked back.
Dozens, or hundreds?
"Let's get out of here, there's something scares me here." Xu Wei hid beside Hongluan, and after comparison, she found that she felt the most secure following this big sister with a perfect body.
Fanny hugged her two-handed sword and said helplessly: "There are too many things you are afraid of, who knows what you are talking about?" β
An Xu also had a feeling of discomfort, as if since he stepped into this clearing, a pair of eyes had scanned back and forth over him.
But if you leave now, maybe you will run into that group of tree people again, and everyone can only rely on this area to recover for the time being.
Suddenly, there was a glittering light in the darkness.
At this time, everyone was on high alert, so naturally they didn't notice it, An Xu cautiously approached the past, and found that something seemed to be buried in the center of the clearing.
It's not buried, it's just that there are thick dead leaves everywhere, covering many things on the ground, An Xu used his weapon to remove the top layer of leaves, and finally found the thing that emitted a red light.
A transparent gem, to be precise, is a sword inlaid with transparent gemstones.
The sword was stuck upside down in the ground, as if there was a small pit under the dead leaves, and the blade of the sword was buried underneath, revealing only the ornate hilt.
"Anyone has been here?" An Xu carefully studied the style of the hilt, which was clearly a sword that was very close to the modern style, and it was definitely not cast by people in ancient times.
"This sword looks very sharp, looking at the thickness of this dead branch and leaf, it is estimated that it has been buried here for a long time, but there is no trace of corrosion at all, maybe it is a high-end equipment." Su Yue said it rightly, there were several people in the team who used swords, and they were naturally no strangers to the evaluation of sword weapons.
Doudou encouraged: "Pull it out and take a look." β
"Wait a minute! Let's see what's buried underneath this. An Xu stopped, there were enough dangers encountered along the way, so that An Xu deeply understood a truth, and carefully sailed the ship of ten thousand years.
He gently brushed back the layers of dead leaves, revealing what was underneath.
"Yikes!" Xu Wei blindfolded herself, and it turned out that this sword was actually stuck in a human skeleton.
A centipede with a small arm was weaving through the skeleton, flicking its tail into the dead leaves when it was disturbed, and soon vanished.
Doudou was bolder after all, so he took a closer look and concluded: "Look at the appearance of this skeleton, this person has been dead for decades!" β
"So, there were people who entered this ruin decades ago, and there was a battle here where one of them killed this person with a sword?" Knoll reasoned.
An Xu pondered: "This is very likely, but don't you think it's strange, this sword is not an ordinary product at first glance, why didn't its owner take the sword away?" β
"Will it be the end of the same fate?" Doudou said, and then overturned his conjecture: "No, even if we all die, there will always be another corpse here, but I haven't found it!" β
In order to test this idea, the group searched the vicinity again, but found nothing.
If it is said that this person has companions, it is impossible to take only the bones of his companions, but not his weapons, and it is a custom that has been handed down in this world to bury the warrior and the weapons of his life.
Suddenly, Doudou patted his head: "I know, this person must have been seriously injured, and then ran here, and in the end, he couldn't bear it and died." β
At this time, An Xu remembered Bing Yan's hurried reminder in his mind: "Quickly retreat, this is the Soul Suppression Sword, the person who was killed may be a black mage, quick, I feel that this guy's soul has not completely dissipated." β
Although he didn't know why Bingyan was so nervous, An Xu reacted immediately, his body retreated sharply, and at the same time, he also pulled Doudou, who was closest to him, back.
"Damn, what are you doing?" Doudou was pulled to the wound by An Xu, and he shivered in pain.
At the same time, under the illumination of the Radiant Stone, a vague transparent black shadow emerged from the skeleton and pounced on Doudou with great speed, but due to An Xu's pull, it was a void.
"Huh?" The black shadow let out a soft sigh, obviously not expecting that his carefully planned pounce would actually fail.
Then it stood silently in mid-air, like a wisp of puff of smoke, but everyone could feel it watching their own ranks.
"What is this?" Doudou stepped back again and again, raised his alchemy hand crossbow and aimed at the black shadow.
"Bingyan?" An Xu was also on full alert, and at the same time called Bingyan in his mind, hoping that he could give him a hint.
"Run, this thing is not something you can fight against, he is in the soul state, and you can't damage it at all with your means, and he can directly attack your spirit, which is exactly your weakest point at the moment!" Bing Yan said a lot in one breath, because it was an exchange between consciousnesses, it was actually just a matter of thought.
An Xu's eyes moved, and he said loudly: "Withdraw, this guy is very dangerous!" β
"The little guy has a good eye! But now that you're in here, do you think you can still run? When the black shadow heard An Xu's words, he let out a chuckle, and to An Xu's surprise, this dark night can actually communicate?
"Who the hell are you?" An Xu said loudly, putting one hand behind his back and gesturing to the others to slowly step back.
"My name is Irulian, the greatest black mage, you little ones, hurry up and obediently send your body, lest you end up alive or dead."
The black shadow reported his name in a high-profile manner, and then waited to admire everyone's frightened appearance, but An Xu and the others were at a loss, and they had never heard of this name at all.
The black shadow's face was a little unbearable, how could this not be the same as the script in his heart? Suddenly, an arrow was aimed at it, and it turned out that Doudou quietly launched an attack while it was not moving.
However, the arrows pierced through its body out of thin air, without affecting the shadow at all.
"It's now, withdraw!" An Xu turned around sharply and shouted, and everyone ran towards the woods in a puff of smoke, at this time they couldn't care about any tree people, and the black shadow in front of them looked even more dangerous.
"I told you you couldn't run away, because I was Ilulianβ" The shadow was still narcissistic.
"That's not like stabbing someone to death." Doudou ran away, not forgetting to taunt the enemy.
"You're looking for death!" This sentence seemed to reveal the sore spot of the black shadow, and it suddenly rose into the air, turning into a black mist and quickly attacking Doudou, catching up with the running crowd in the blink of an eye.
"Be careful!" An Xu didn't have time to rescue at all, and there was no way to rescue, so he could only remind him.
But this black shadow was so fast that Doudou didn't have time to dodge at all, so he was shrouded in black fog and fell to the ground with a 'poof'.
