Chapter 57 - Predators in the Shadows
"Bloodstains?" With the help of the Shadow Wolf, Lu Ming quickly found the hiding place of Falsel and the others. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoIt was only outside this door that Lu Ming found very obvious bloodstains.
If it was Lu Ming himself, he would never leave any obvious traces of blood in his hiding place when he escaped, and even if he was seriously injured, he would be able to leave traces that were so obvious that he would tell the other party that he was here. So, there's a good chance it's a trap.
Glancing at a window on the second floor, Lu Ming looked at the door again, thought for a moment or two, and then used his speed, climbed directly from the wall to the second floor in three or two clicks, and used a dagger to stop himself on the wall next to the window on the second floor.
Gently pushed open the window, revealing a thin slit, and Lu Ming looked through the slit into the second floor. As a result, the second floor was empty, but there were several corpses lying that had been dried up. One of them was dressed in clothes that only a duke could wear, and his beard was exactly the same as that of the previous Grand Duke of Amp, needless to say, it was the corpse of the previous Grand Duke.
At this time, Brekan, who had been beaten by Lu Ming before, and the red-haired beast-eared girl, as well as an old man dressed in black, suddenly came to the second floor.
"These corpses must be undead as soon as possible, and we must let them blend into the arranged army as quickly as possible in order to contain Amp's new army." As soon as he reached the second floor, the red-haired Falsell said to Breccan and the old man.
"The undead will be completed tonight, and when the time comes, they will be able to disguise themselves as the newly awakened spirits in the depths of the desert." The old man glanced at the corpses that had been dried up, and replied with a smile.
Hearing this, Falsel asked Breccan on the side, "How much more can I use to summon the magic array?" ā
"There are still twenty-three summoning magic arrays in the city that can be used right now. But there are quite a few of them in the mansions of the family who have taken refuge in Elsa, and it is difficult for us to use them. ā
The old man on the side chuckled and said, "You don't need to worry about this, at this time, Elsa should have been assassinated by a secret chess move of our evil spirit church!" Without the Grand Duke, do those people have any other way but to choose us? ā
Upon hearing this, Falsel couldn't help frowning and asked, "How do you know that Elsa Aymanra will be assassinated by your men?" ā
The old man smiled slightly and said, "Because our dark chess is the husband of Elsa, the Grand Duke!" ā
Lu Ming, who was outside the window, couldn't help but be shocked when he heard the old man's words.
Immediately afterward, he heard the old man say, "Before we acted, we used magic to control Elsa's husband. In this way, you can give those people the most lethal blow when they let their guard down the most! Plus, even if he fails. It can also make Elsa and them chaotic internally, making them suspicious and powerless to deal with us. ā
"Naozulas, your dark chess should be much more than this, right?" After listening to the old man's words, Breccan of the Undead Clan couldn't help but sneer.
The old man didn't answer this, but smiled inexplicably.
Seeing this, Lu Ming's eyes narrowed slightly, thinking about what he should do now. But in the end, he decided to kill Falsel first before anything else, after all, the source of these things was this beast-eared girl who was housed with a part of Evennes' soul. As soon as she's dead, it's almost over.
But before he could do it, Lu Ming threw three kinds of magic into the room, namely undead expulsion, spatial detection, and illusion discrimination.
This was to prevent the three people in the room from being illusion bait, and the dried corpses from being vicious traps.
As a result, as Lu Ming expected, those dried corpses were all undead who had already been turned into undead, and they were not corpses at all! But there is one thing that Lu Ming expected. That is, the three people turned out to be real, not illusions. This is something that Lu Ming did not expect.
Under the effect of the expulsion of the undead, the undead disguised as corpses instantly burst out, looking around viciously with their eyes flashing with fierce light, and on their bodies, bursts of green smoke rose up, as if they had been burned by something!
Seeing this, the old man Naozulas immediately burst into a shout: "Who!! ā
Brecan, who had returned to his original state, also drew his long sword, protected Falsel behind him, and looked around with great vigilance.
Suddenly, a figure broke through the window, wielding a frost blade in his hand, directly cutting off the heads of several dry corpses, and then shot straight at Neozulas like a sharp arrow, ready to take his life.
The man's speed was too fast, and the undead didn't react, but Brecan, who had fought with Lu Ming, was able to block the man's attack for Naozulas with very accurate sword skills.
Looking at the other party's black eyes, Brechan suddenly smiled, and he said, "This time, I won't lose to you again!" Lu Ming of Flange! ā
"Huh! Is it? Hearing this, Lu Ming also smiled. He took a slight step back, luring Brecan into pursuit, followed by a thunderous palm!
Seeing Lu Ming's shining thunder palm slapping towards him, Brecan didn't say a word, and directly forcibly blocked Lu Ming's thunder light palm with the long sword in his hand.
Although the thunder of the thunder light palm wrapped around Brekan's body along with the sword body of the long sword, he ignored the thunder like no one, which made Lu Ming slightly surprised.
But Lu Ming was not discouraged, he missed one blow, and he could do it again.
The moment the thunder faded, Lu Ming suddenly swung the Ilusil straight sword in his hand and slashed at Brekan.
Seeing this, Brecan hurriedly took a step back and once again used his long sword to attack Lu Ming.
It's a pity that at this moment, Lu Ming suddenly grabbed the hilt of the Blue Flame Sword at his waist, and slashed out with a single stroke, directly cutting off Breckan's waist!
"What!?" Brekan, who was cut in two pieces by Lu Ming from his waist, fell to the ground, and watched with a look of disbelief as Lu Ming shot out a frozen ray, freezing himself little by little, and couldn't help but be shocked.
At this time, the Evil Spirit Church's Neozulas suddenly made a move, causing several shadow arms to suddenly stretch out of Lu Ming's shadow, directly grabbing Lu Ming and forcibly dragging him into the Shadow World.
However, at the moment when he was about to be pulled into the shadow world, Lu Ming suddenly slapped his own shadow on the ground, and suddenly the pitch-black black mud poured out of the shadows, rushing in all directions, eroding whatever he touched.
By the time Lu Ming was completely pulled to the Shadow World, the undead in the room, including Brecan, had been eroded by the darkness and had lost all their minds, and almost any living thing they saw would go up directly and attack wildly!
Helplessly, the also eroded Naozulas could only forcibly escape with Falsels, who had not yet been eroded by the shadows. gave up the idea of killing Lu Ming in person, and instead let the hundreds of disciples hidden in the shadow world kill Lu Ming.
-----------------------------------
Being dragged into the Shadow World, Lu Ming got up from a room that was completely opposite to the previous room, and looked around the dim as dusk, Lu Ming frowned, preparing to leave here with the teleportation magic left on the Shadow Wolf.
However, a series of sudden attacks disrupted his plans, and he discovered that there were hundreds of people from the Evil Spirit Church standing outside the room. Among those people, Lu Ming even saw a man with a bandage on his arm. He should be the unlucky guy who rescued Brecan before, but was stabbed by Lu Ming's sword.
"Damn it!" Looking at those people from the Evil Spirit Church, one by one, they began to cast shadow arrows to attack him, Lu Ming couldn't help but scold angrily, jumped down directly from the window, and came to the outside of the house, facing those people from the Evil Spirit Church.
"Lu Ming! You lackeys of the Church of Light, today is your death! Among the hundreds of people from the Evil Spirit Church, a leading person suddenly yelled at Lu Ming.
Looking at those people, Lu Ming sighed slightly. I thought to myself, it looks like I can't fight anymore.
Immediately, he clenched the two straight swords in his hand, looked at those people coldly, and the next moment it was like a sharp arrow from the bow, shooting straight at those people.
Seeing this, the people of the evil spirit church shouted one after another: "For pain and suffering!! Then he shot out an unknown number of shadow arrows and shot at Lu Ming.
"Huh! Quickly! With a chuckle, Lu Ming's speed quickly increased to the point where he could only see an afterimage with the naked eye, and he easily avoided the rain of shadow arrows and directly entered the evil spirit sect group.
The blade was too sharp, and the flesh was too fragile, so when Lu Ming killed into these, he couldn't even describe the scene when the tiger entered the flock, it was like a dragon smashing into a flock of sheep whose horns had been sawed off, and killer whales rushing into a school of sardines. It can be said that every time Lu Ming wields his blade, several or even a dozen people from the Evil Spirit Church will be killed.
The wolf blood boiled with the killing, and gradually Lu Ming began to become crazy, and even the inside of his eyes began to have a slight red glow.
Gaze into the abyss, and the abyss will respond to the gaze, which is the fate that the inheritor of wolf blood cannot escape.
However, just when Lu Ming was caught in the middle of the killing, a pleasant ringing made him wake up in an instant.
At this time, twenty minutes had already passed, and most of the people in the Evil Spirit Church had been killed by him. But those people were still not afraid of death, rushing up, fighting with Lu Ming, ready to fight until the last person died.
Looking at the people of the Evil Spirit Church who still had three or four hundred people left, Lu Ming took a slight breath, and then asked those people, "Aren't you afraid of death?" ā
As a result, the leader of the group of people in the Evil Spirit Church sneered and said, "There is nothing to be afraid of death!" The most terrible thing is that under the protection of the Church of Light, there is no wailing and suffering in the world! Only torture is the truth!! ā
"What a bunch of crazy people!" Hearing what the man said, Lu Ming couldn't help but curse.
Then Ilusil stuck his sword into the ground, allowing Frost to draw a magic circle in a pool of blood under the control of his magic.
"Oh no, he's going to summon helpers! Kill him! Seeing that Lu Ming was depicting the magic array, the leader of the group of people in the Evil Spirit Church immediately shouted to the people of the Evil Spirit Church.
Suddenly, a large number of shadow arrows were shot out by those people, shooting towards Lu Ming like a rain of arrows.
But at this moment, a shadow creature suddenly appeared in the magic array. After seeing the rain of shadow arrows, it immediately turned into a large net before fixing its form, stopping and crushing all the shadow arrows in the rain of shadow arrows, and absorbing all the shadow energy in the shadow arrows.
Seeing this, the people of the Evil Spirit Church couldn't help but be shocked, and hurriedly began to chant a spell to expel the shadow creatures.
Just like a normal world, there are creatures in the Shadow World, but these creatures are shadow creatures made up of Shadows.
Although the cult's shulker technique essentially sends themselves or others to the Shadow World, it does not mean that they and the shadow creatures can coexist peacefully. If you don't use magic to expel these shadow creatures beforehand, the people of the Evil Spirit Church will be mercilessly eaten by the natives of these shadow worlds!
Only those who have a contract with real shadow creatures can coexist with shadow creatures here without incident, and Lu Ming happens to have contracts with many creatures in the elemental world. Moreover, every time it is a cooperative contract. Therefore, many creatures in the elemental world, including the Shadow World, will not take the initiative to attack him, and even if he needs to, they will do things for him in exchange for some reward.
Like this time, this shadow creature summoned by Lu Ming from four kilometers away from Anubai City in the Shadow World wanted to eat up all the people of the Evil Spirit Church who had expelled it from his lair.
"I've heard that the souls of those who are eaten by shadow creatures will remain in the world of shadows forever, enslaved by the Shadow Goddess. Well, good luck. After absorbing the energy of the shadow arrow rain and turning into a fruit-body woman with dragon claws and four shadow wings, Lu Ming said to those evil spirits with a smile.
As if in response to Lu Ming's words, the shadow creature cracked its mouth behind its ear and let out a roar that looked like a tiger's roar at those people of the Evil Spirit Church.
Suddenly, the leader of the group of people in the Evil Spirit Church shouted in horror, "Do you know what you did!? That's a Shadow Demon!! ā
"I know what it is, and I know that you people can't go back into the arms of the god of torture!" Slightly hooked the corners of his mouth, Lu Ming smiled. The next moment, together with the shadow demon, he rushed towards the rest of the Cult of Evil Spirits.
-----------------------------------
On the normal side of the world, due to the erosion of the gloom, Neozuras left on his own after taking Falsel to the new army camp outside the city of Anubbai.
Falsels, on the other hand, was hidden by several soldiers from the Muhan Kurata clan who remained in the barracks.
Sitting in a military tent, in a secret underground chamber built with special magic, Falsel was on fire. I thought that this time I would be able to eat Yu'er Sika's soul and control Anpu in my own hands, but I didn't expect that Lu Ming and the elves would intervene, so that Brecan would be turned into a living ghost corpse, and her plan was completely disrupted. She really can't accept such a result!
But she was angry, and the people in the room didn't have time to comfort one or two.
Because they didn't think that those madmen from the Evil Spirit Church could kill Lu Ming, a madman, so after they learned that Lu Ming was chasing and killing Falselth, they immediately began to write a teleportation magic scroll, preparing to directly teleport Falsell to the Principality of Yalu, so as not to be killed by Lu Ming for harboring Falselth.
After firing a fire, Falsels said to the soldiers from the Muhan Kurata family: "Let the people of each family hide for the time being, and when I return, I will make plans." ā
"Yes! Little Miss! ā
After hearing the soldiers' response, Falsel used the magic scroll to teleport away. As everyone knows, in the shadows of the room, a shadow wolf is watching their every move. (To be continued.) )
