602 Dark Curtain Monster
Wutong was very puzzled: "If you don't have intelligence, memory, and self-awareness, isn't the Ela Leone you are talking about an undead creature?" Like a zombie or a skeleton? Or, like you, an undead creature who has maintained a sense of self, even if it's a lich? ”
"It's different, although it's hard to explain, but we, the 'undead' druids, can't be considered lichs, because first of all, we are not spellcasters, but use 'nature magic'"
Master Sandre shook his head: "Now we are the priests of the 'Necromancy', and our memories are not complete, which does not conform to the characteristics of the lich, the most important thing is that we are transformed into undead creatures after death, and the lich actively transforms itself into undead creatures when they are still alive." ”
Is there a difference between becoming an undead spirit when you are dead and becoming an undead when you are alive? Aren't they all undead?
Wutong was confused for a while, well, there are too many things in "Endless" that look similar, but do not belong to the same kind of creature, and there is a strict distinction between them, this is due to the fact that the culture and habits of the Asian and American regions and the Europa region are very different, but there is no need to investigate, Master Sandrei said yes, that is, it is good.
"And then?"
Leaving aside this question, Sycamore asked.
"And then?"
Master Sandri shook his head, as if he was lamenting: "After Master Elarion became a half-lich, he was not completely unconscious, every once in a while, he would struggle out of his rage and madness, but the undead scourge that swept the entire Endless Isle has begun to show signs of spreading to other islands in the Endless Islands, and only Master Elarione, who woke up from the fury for a short time, could not control it, in order to avoid the situation from continuing to deteriorate, he sealed himself in this [ Al Leon Fortress], he entered a permanent slumber to prevent himself from creating more undead creatures in a state of madness. ”
This result surprised Sycamore, and it seems that this Elarione master is indeed worthy of admiration.
"In the decades that followed, all the nations were trying their best to eradicate the undead on this Endless Island, because once any powerful undead monster created by Master Elarone escaped to the Endless Isles, or even to the Kovar Continent, it could cause an uncontrollable undead plague and form an undead natural disaster that swept the entire continent, which would be a catastrophe for the entire human world."
Master Sandrei stopped and turned his head to look at Wutong who was following him: "This is also the reason why the Guard Regiment sent by us, the countries and the major professional guilds, is here, one is responsible for clearing the undead, and the other is Master Elarione, who is responsible for guarding the self-seal, will not wake up from eternal sleep, whether he wakes up by himself or is affected by external forces." ”
Sycamore sighed, waiting for Master Sandri to tell him the final result, but it was clear that this long story did not end there.
"It took us decades to get rid of the undead on the Endless Island, but we couldn't evacuate from here, because, in the process, adventurers from all over the continent continued to sneak into the Endless Island, intending to seek Master Elarion and his teacher Vitim. Angstrom. The legacy of Master Omik is not lacking in heretical members from major cults and pseudo-gods. ”
Wutong blinked, the remains of the underground temple of the "Seven Stars of the Night" sect that he had entered on the Trial Island were probably one of the cults and pseudo-gods that invaded the Endless Island at that time, right?
It is even said that the [Bone Eater Ring] that once existed in his hand was forcibly put on by a retired mercenary of the former "Wolf Skull" mercenary group, a barbarian from the Northland Plateau, and it is possible that it came from the Endless Island.
"The cult of the evil gods of the [evil] camp, the cursed bloodborns, the filthy moonborns, they seek to awaken the Master of Elarione to join their side in order to achieve their ridiculous, world-ruling purpose."
Master Sandrei recalled: "These members of our "Guards Regiment" can resist and stop, but none of us could have imagined that the strongest fortress was breached from the inside."
"Inside? You mean, out of the internal annihilation? ”
Wutong blinked his eyes, which would also explain why a large group of high-level professionals of the 6th and 7th orders would be wiped out on the Endless Island so quietly, while the outside world knew nothing.
"Yes, it's the disciple of Master Elarleon, the disciple of Master Omic, and the mage of the mage group stationed on the island!"
Master Sandree, who finally remembered how he had died, had a violent mental fluctuation, which made his words of the dead tremble and appear very angry.
The sycamore of the great sweat opened his mouth, the master hung up and there were apprentices, and the apprentices hung up and there were apprentices, you said that the one who discovered the Endless Island Vidim. Angstrom. Omic Master series, why is it so strong?
Speechlessly, he beckoned to the hammer who was on guard beside him, took the [Vodi Geng's Poisonous Short Sword] from him, and gestured to Master Sandrei.
"Yes, the [Purple Worm Venom] of a giant poisonous insect [Purple Worm] is quenched on it, and even we druids cannot resist this violent toxin attack."
Master Sandrei nodded, but he was disgusted and unwilling to take the short sword that killed him: "I don't know what happened to the other members of the Guard Regiment, but at that time, Voddigeng suddenly came to our [Sadek] camp, and under the pretext of discussing with me about a confidential matter, he suddenly took out this dagger and stabbed me in my cabin, and then"
A familiar mage suddenly started to attack with close combat, which is really difficult to prevent, even Master Sandrei, who is a great druid, is inevitably surprised, but the truth of the matter is finally revealed, and now the question is, why did this Voddigeng suddenly attack the members of the "Guards Regiment"?
Just to get the legacy of Master Elarone and Master Omic? Theoretically, he, as an apprentice, is qualified to inherit the legacy of his teacher and ancestor, right? Do you need to poison others?
"Vodi Geng is not the only disciple of Master Elarion, whether it is talent or ability, he ranks last among the many disciples of Master Elarion, before I died, he was only a middle-level mage of the 4th order, if it is about inheritance, it is not on his head."
Master Sandri explained slightly: "So I think what he wants is probably the [Necromantic Rune Staff] inherited from Master Omik in the hands of Master Elarion!" With this staff that can control the undead, he will be able to take control of the undead legion that Master Elarion sealed under this [Alarion Fortress] before entering eternal sleep, thus becoming the most vocal inheritor of Master Elarion's legacy. ”
Engaging in a long time is to fight for the right to inherit, this drama is really bloody, the struggle history of a 4th-order [***] silk mage?
Wutong pouted: "That is to say, what kind of ghost is this in this castle?" ”
"If nothing else, it should be right, but don't think that the 4th-order Vodi Geng will be easy to deal with!"
Master Shanderui sensed Wutong's thoughts and warned: "After all, before we fell into eternal sleep, Vodit Geng was already a 4th-order mage, and no one knows if he has advanced again in the past two hundred and sixty-eight years, so what we may have to face is very likely to be a 5th-order, 6th-order, or even 7th-order ** master Voditeng!" What's more, having obtained the [Rune Staff of the Immortal Necromancy] and controlled the Undead Legion, Voditeng may have defeated his classmates and inherited the legacy of Master Elarion, if he is lucky enough, maybe he is now a powerful lich! ”
Wutong nodded, but he didn't think so, if this Voddigeng had become a lich, he didn't think that the human world would be so peaceful, and it had already been invaded by the undead legion led by the lich, right?
Just as he was about to say something, there was a sudden scream from ahead, followed by the sound of chaotic battle.
Startled, Wutong hurriedly turned his head to look, only to see that they had unconsciously walked to the central area of the castle, and where they were located was in a huge storage warehouse.
How did you end up in the warehouse? Wutong was stunned for a while, and turned his head to look at his companions around him, only to see that they were carrying a lot of things on their shoulders, and it seemed that when he was listening to the story, they had searched the castle all the way.
The sporadic skeletons and zombies that I encountered before didn't cause such a big movement, so I didn't pay much attention to the sycamore who paid attention to the story, and now the noisy movement can't just be caused by sporadic monsters, obviously encountering a large-scale monster group.
Wutong, who could only temporarily put an end to the "storytelling time", nodded to Master Sandrei, and ran forward quickly with his staff, but saw the infinite and invincible hammer hammer them, and was standing in a corner holding his arms looking at something, Wutong said in surprise: "What are you doing?" ”
Infinity turned around and said with a smile: "The master's story is finished?" Is there any information? ”
"Yes, but I think you'd better not know so you don't be afraid of what's going on here?"
Such a long story, Wutong said it clearly in a few words, so he casually coped with it, squeezed to their side to take a look, only to find that it was another group of super play teams who encountered the strange group, and it happened that they also knew each other, it was the leader of the "Wizard of Oz" team who appeared in Obsidian, the elf priest sister Senscar Amber.
The monsters that attacked them were a swarm of squid-like creatures attached to the ceiling, a large cloud of darkness around their bodies, and when someone passed under them, they suddenly fell, spread their bodies like cloaks or raincoats to cover their prey, and then struggled to float back into the darkness on the ceiling.
Those dark and opaque darkness are obviously not normal shadows, but some kind of special ability, and the second-order spell [Dark Magic] can also cause a similar effect.
And these "squids" that float in the air, Wutong has also seen in a certain "Monster Illustrated Book", this is a kind of mysterious beast [dark curtain monster] that should live underground or in a cave, they have ten eyes and ten tentacles, between each tentacle, there is a thick flesh membrane like a "web", and the inside of the meat membrane is covered with dense sharp serrations like fangs.
When they successfully sneak up on their prey from the air and cover it in their bag-like body, they will use ten tentacles with suction cups to wrap around the prey, and use their levitation ability to bring the prey back to the hiding place, and slowly cut the prey into pieces and digest it with the serrations in their bodies.
Amber's team,Unfortunately, they encountered such a group of strange creatures,Caught off guard,Many people have been recruited,Her members are elven priests,Limited combat power output,So with the "Traveler" team's half-elf [Ranger] shooting wolf, two super play teams protect the chief player of a certain academy.
Wutong looked at it for a while, the members of the "Traveler" team are all ranger professions, either [Jungle Hunter] or [Twin Knife Hunter] who take the wind route, and it is very difficult to deal with these floating things.
Arrows hitting the thick webs of the Darkcurtain Beasts could not inflict fatal damage on them at all, and the [Twin Knife Hunters] wielding the twin knives could not reach the large squid floating in the air, so they could only damage the Darkcurtain Beasts when they pounced down to wrap their prey.
There were too many Darkcurtain Beasts, which made the [Twin Blade Hunters] in the team of Forested Amber and Sky Shooter Wolf less than a quarter of them busy, not only to attack the Darkcurtain Beasts, but also to carefully protect the priests in the team, like madmen dancing wildly.
"Aren't we going to help?" Wutong glanced at the infinite people who were holding their arms and watching the play.
Infinite stunned: "Help? Why? They're our competitors, right? Even if you don't meet here, you have to fight to the death in the end, let's just watch, it's already very moral to fall into the well. ”
"That's it!"
The dwarf snorted, "That elf chick is very bad, okay! The last time I asked her to help clear a ruin, she charged me three times the price! "Wutong Khan, people charge you three times the price, that's not your own willingness, you have to ask for help.
"Hey! Are you just going to die? ”
Angry and desperate to help her injured companion heal, she yelled at the crowd who was standing by watching the play, and they all shrugged their shoulders as they looked at each other.
Although the priests can use [Holy Light Ball], [Cause Minor Injury] and other attack magic to hit the enemy, but the effect they can have is very limited, but the priests' healing and protection magic effects are super strong, and the dozen or so elven priest girls under the hands of Amber Sen Scar have not been injured without anyone to protect them!
Because once a Dark Curtain Demon Beast pounces down, they who gather together will take turns to open the [Sanctuary Technique] to block the attack, and under their protection, even if their body has been gnawed by the Dark Curtain Demon Beast, as long as the person is not out of breath, a bunch of healing light balls will smash over, and they will immediately be able to turn over and jump up and continue to fight.
This is also due to the fact that they themselves are a clergy group, and the average adventure team can afford such a luxurious lineup? There are only fifty or sixty people in total, but there are a quarter of the Holy Light Priests, almost one "pacifier" per person, no wonder they can rush here with such a strange professional match.
The tactics they use are also very simple, the typical "turtle tactics", relying on the priest's [Sanctuary Technique] to force the advance, while the others wait for the opportunity to attack, as long as the priests' holy power is not exhausted, they can hold on.
However, after encountering monsters like the Dark Curtain Demonic Beasts, their turtle tactics were not very useful, because the output was not enough, and they were never able to destroy those Dark Curtain Demonic Beasts floating in the air, which caused them to be trapped directly in the warehouse.
Seeing that the super players were indifferent, Senscar Amber shouted angrily: "It's okay for us to give up competing with you for the first place, right?" ”
Infinite raised his eyebrows: "Sign the contract?" ”
With a slap [causing minor injuries], Sen Scar Amber blasted away a dark curtain demonic beast that pounced on the Sky Wolf, and shouted, "Less nonsense! Hurry up! Are you men? ”
Zhong Chao was angry: "Are we men, do you want to try?" ”
