Chapter 68: Ghosts
Gavin followed Erin to a hidden place. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Erin brushed aside the dangling vines and weeds, revealing a dark hole.
"This is the ghost path? Sure enough, it was very eerie, and I sensed the breath of the undead. ā
Gavin stood outside the entrance of the cave, and a faint yin wind came from inside, carrying a strong undead aura.
Even in the necromancer's graveyard, there is no such strong undead aura. It can be seen that there are indeed many undead creatures in this so-called "ghost and ghost path".
There are so many undead creatures entrenched, generally it can't be caused by the natural environment, it is very likely to be man-made, here before or now, there must have been a very powerful intelligent undead creature entrenched here, or a necromancer, or a more powerful vampire, or even a lich.
Even if it is caused by the natural environment, then such a place will definitely attract the attention of intelligent undead creatures.
Judging by the antiquity of this cave, it must be at least a few decades old.
It is impossible that no one has discovered the "ghost path" for decades, and someone must have visited this place.
Undead creatures have a very strong ability to perceive the breath of the undead!
Erin nodded slightly, and then said softly: "Your Excellency, there are many undead creatures entrenched in the ghost path, and the inside of the maze is intricate, so it is easy to get lost. I will take you through the passages I am familiar with, please follow me closely. Unless you sense the presence of Hank and Barton, don't deviate from the established course. ā
Gavin nodded, "Don't worry." If there is no special energy force field to block it, I can sense their presence within a hundred meters. ā
Erin said: "Your Excellency, the other party was able to get Hank and Barton away without me perceiving it, without making a sound, it is likely to be a high-level undead, and we can't fight hard." It's all about safety. As soon as we rescue them, or encounter undead creatures that we can't match, we must leave immediately. ā
Gavin said, "This is the terms of our contract, and I will not break it." ā
Erin nodded.
The existence of the magic contract gives them a certain trust in each other.
It's impossible to be a life-and-death teammate, but it's okay to form a temporary partner.
Then she stooped down and burrowed into the ghost path.
Gavin hurriedly followed.
None of them lit torches, or had constant light on their staff or dastard.
Although the ghost path is very dark, there is still a little bit of light. Gavin and Erin have blessed themselves with "dark vision", and in such a dark environment, they can see clearly from ten meters away, and they can see blurred shadows from twenty meters away.
Enough is enough.
It is better not to produce bright light unless it is necessary.
Undead creatures are very sensitive to light, and any unusual light may attract them.
Gavin and Irene weren't afraid of ordinary undead, even evil spirits - there was an evil spirit floating around them.
I'm afraid of attracting the attention of some high-level undead, such as the guy who got Hank and Barton away.
"Follow me."
At a fork in the road, Erin carefully observes the markings left on both sides and chooses a direction.
In the entire ghost path, there were only a dozen or so passages she knew, leading to different places in the realm of Brimstone City.
Only these channels are safe.
If they deviate from these channels, they don't know how long it will take to figure it out.
Maybe never get out.
After walking for about ten minutes, Gavin and Erin suddenly stopped at the same time.
"There are undead creatures!"
They glanced at each other, both a little surprised by each other's powerful perception abilities.
"It's a low-level undead creature, and the aura of death energy it exudes is not strong." Gavin said.
"There are no skeletons or zombies in the ghost path, only spirit creatures. Either a ghost, a ghost, or a ghast, or a ghost, a ghost, a ghost, or an evil spirit. Erin said.
Gavin nodded.
Then he commanded the evil spirits to go and investigate from afar.
Although the strength of the evil spirit has decreased a lot, it is much stronger than that of ordinary ghosts. With such a faint aura of the undead, it is naturally impossible to be a relatively powerful ghost or evil spirit, but it should be a ghost, a resentful soul and the like.
"It's supposed to be an ordinary ghost. I've been here many times, and I've barely seen a ghost, a ghast. None of the undead creatures here seem to deteriorate. Erin whispered.
Gavin didn't answer.
He doesn't know anything about it.
Erin may not be completely trustworthy either.
You have to observe everything yourself.
The evil spirit is Gavin's eyes.
The evil spirit soon floated back, followed by a ghost with the appearance of a human.
The ghost was wearing a tattered cloth robe, which was spirit equipment, but it was not a high-level spirit equipment.
The status of this cloth cloth in the spirit equipment is probably equivalent to the ordinary cloth clothes worn by ordinary people, without any attributes, and the defense ability is almost 0.
There are not many truly high-level spirit equipment, and each piece requires at least 10 gold coins.
"I'll come."
Gavin stepped forward and stood in front of Erin.
The right hand clenched the skull staff, but the left hand was raised in front of the chest, and the skull fingers were gently outlined in front of him, and a simple level 0 spell had been formed.
"Fight the Necromancy!"
The spell inflicted a small deal of damage on the spirits, and then the spirits began to fight back.
The spirit sword has a strong damage to the spirit, and it accurately pierces the ghost's body, just like the fine iron sword pierces the human body, bringing great damage to the ghost.
Only spirit creatures are best suited against spirit creatures.
This is an ordinary ghost, and it is not as aggressive as grudges and ghasts. If it weren't for the evil spirit's active provocation, maybe it wouldn't have attacked the evil spirit at all.
The combat power of ghosts is also much worse than that of resentful spirits and ghasts, and it is even more impossible to compare with higher-order evil spirits.
This ghost's creature level is around level 6, and it is no match for evil spirits at all.
Soon, it was killed by the evil spirits, and the spirits began to crumble.
The evil spirit did not spare its soul, but used its ability to "absorb energy" and began to absorb the scattered soul energy.
This ability is not strong, and the soul energy it absorbs is not much, which is not enough to make up for some of its lost soul energy, making its spirit body more stable.
Gavin's skeletal fingers were gently outlined, and the tip of the skull staff emitted a faint gray light, and the scattered soul energy and death energy began to converge towards the staff, and then through the transmission of the staff, it converged on Gavin's body.
He hid the core of life and death in the bone in the palm of his hand, directly acting as a part of the bone, embedded in a bone, and others couldn't see it at all.
Those soul energies were absorbed into the life and death core, and the death energy was concentrated in Gavin's body to replenish what he had lost.
