Chapter Seventy-Four: Ghost Hitting the Wall?
In the canyon, everyone walked forward for more than 20 meters and encountered a new sneak attack.
This time two dark arrows were fired, one left and one right, and Ark immediately raised his shield to block it, blocking the cold arrow on the left. Lucy, on Link's right, drew her sword suddenly, slashed forward with a sword, and in an instant, the sword light was like water, and the blade of the sword slashed out a mist-like blast visible to the naked eye, directly blowing the arrow out.
The sword startled both Anduson and Jaxa, and their eyes turned to Lucy.
Lucy had already put away the Wind Sword, her expression was cold, and the two of them could only endure the curiosity in their hearts, but the appearance of this beautiful and cool magic sword was deeply rooted in the hearts of the two.
Seeing that Gridan instinctively wanted to fight back, Link immediately said, "Stay alive, don't shoot them all!" ”
As soon as he said this, after Greidan shot the fatal arrow, the other arrow was slightly off, only to hear two screams of 'uh' and 'ah', one figure fell directly from the cliff, and the other also fell, but he was obviously conscious, and when he fell, his arm waved wildly and pulled on the cliff wall a few times, greatly buffering the speed of the fall.
'Bang' The man fell to the ground, groaning and not dead.
"Let's go, go ask for an understanding." Link strode forward, and the crowd followed.
During this time, the dead thief came back to life, and like the previous one, he got up and walked into the depths of the canyon, this time so close that everyone could clearly see the appearance of the thief's undead.
Not to mention the twisting of this guy's body, the most penetrating thing is his expression, the pupils of his eyes are dilated, and the mixture of blood and saliva is flowing uncontrollably in his mouth, and when he walks, the broken bones in his body make a creaking sound, which makes people feel chills in their backs when they listen to it.
"The Lord of Radiance is above, the Syndicate is too evil!" Anderson muttered in a low voice, such an organization is really terrifying, and if he is lucky enough to return alive this time, he must report what he has seen and heard today to the church.
This evil organization must be purified in the most thorough!
Link ignored the undead and walked over to the living thief, his wand pointing at him, the flame crystal at the tip of the wand emitting a fiery red flame that enveloped the dying thief like a spider's web, under Link's deliberate control.
Although this flame of light is not lethal, it is extremely terrifying, and it is no better to scare ordinary people, and Link saw a look of horror and fear on the thief's face as expected.
"Now, you have two options, one, answer my question. Two, be silent, and then the soul will be completely purified by my flame! Link sneered and threatened.
Before he could finish speaking, the thief was frightened and collapsed, and exclaimed, "I'll pick the first, choose the first!" ”
"Good, you're smart." Link's expression softened slightly, and then asked, "What's going on in this canyon?" Why is it so dim? ”
"Because a magician has set up a magic circle in the valley, and the leader of Ender says it will scare off the enemies of the Order." The thief hurriedly replied.
"Magic Array? Where is it? ”
"It's in the cave hall, thirty meters further ahead of here, and it's a little bit more round."
"The second question is, why do people come back to life after they die? Where the hell did they go? Link asked again. Perhaps because of harmony, the Syndicate Lair in the game in the previous life did not appear in this strange scene, so Link didn't know what would appear in front of him.
However, Link is now full of confidence in his strength, he has matchsticks, his magic energy is basically full, there are two level 4 warriors around him, three level 3 professionals, and a large bundle of scrolls, such strength should be enough to deal with unexpected situations.
Unexpectedly, after this question was asked, the thief shook his head frantically: "No, I can't say it, otherwise I will be punished by the master, don't force me, don't force me!" ”
Link frowned, and the flame on the fire crystal became brighter and brighter: "Do you want to taste the pain of the flame burning soul?" ”
"Ah, I can't say I can't say ah~~ah~" The thief didn't know what to do, his voice got lower and lower, lower and lower, and finally, his pupils dilated, and he died.
Ark stepped forward and examined the thief's body, then turned back to Link and said, "My lord, he seems to be scared to death. ”
Scared? Link didn't believe it, and after a closer look with his aura detection technique, he saw that a substance-like black aura was fading from the thief's head, and this black aura was different from the aura that permeated the canyon, and it appeared more intense and spiritual.
Seeing this, Link already knew in his heart: "No, it's not scared to death, it's a curse magic." He can't reveal anything about the resurrection of the dead, or the curse will be triggered. ”
Everyone who heard this was shocked, this kind of mysterious and evil method, any normal person would feel a chill in his heart.
Seeing that everyone around him looked frightened, Link explained: "You don't have to worry, the process of releasing this curse is very complicated, and it requires the recipient's oath as a guide to the curse, and it cannot be applied to us out of thin air. ”
These are all magical insights, Link has read so many magic books, and his magic skills are extremely solid, and he can see through this black magic method at a glance.
When he said this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Mr. Link, now?" Militia Captain Yaksa asked, among these soldiers, he had never seen the world the most, he was the least daring, this ghost place was too terrible, he couldn't hold on and wanted to quit.
At this time, the thief's corpse was resurrected again, Link took a step back, and after the corpse walked five or six meters, he waved his hand: "Go, follow, let's see where he goes." ”
Damn, everyone around him was so angry that even the kingdom knight Andusen, who had seen the big scene, was covered in cold sweat, but in the end, he still kept up with Link's footsteps.
So, in the canyon, a rickety corpse led the way in front, followed by a calm young magician and a few frightened saliva-swallowing warriors, all the way to the depths of the canyon.
The thief really didn't lie, after everyone followed for more than 30 meters, a corner appeared in front of them, and someone sneaked up behind the corner, but everyone was extremely vigilant, and the sneak attacker was at most a level 2 thief, and the number was two, so he was killed without turning the waves at all.
After the two thieves were killed, they quickly stood up as well, and followed the previous thief, one after the other, and in front of the three strange corpses was a cave.
There is a burning torch on the edge of the cave, and the dim light of the fire sways the light and shadow of the cave, and those flickering shadows seem to be like ghosts, which makes people feel frightened.
Seeing that the three undead had already walked into the cave and were about to disappear around the corner behind the cave, Link took a few steps, raised his wand, and whispered, "Light Technique!" ”
A steady and bright ball of light appeared at the tip of the staff, greatly dispelling the darkness in the cave and encouraging the courage of several warriors.
"Keep up. Ark, stay vigilant. Link waved his hand at the warrior behind him, and whispered to Ark, who was shielding him in front of him.
"Hmm." Ark nodded, raising his shield a little higher, and the glimmer of magic emanating from the shield emboldened him.
The group cautiously walked into the cave.
It can be seen that the cave has been carefully excavated, the walls of the cave are smooth and dry, there is a torch every other way, and from time to time you can see an alcove on the side of the road, with tables and chairs, and from the cups and food scraps left on the table, where robbers rested not long ago.
But now, Link and the others went all the way in, and there was not a single robber figure, only a few ghostly corpses in front of them kept walking deeper into the cave.
Just like that, after walking more than fifty meters in the zigzag cave, a rotunda appeared in front of him, the hall was very dimly lit, and on the ground in the center, there was a magic array that emitted a dim purple light!
Link squinted and looked at it for a while, and found that he didn't even know a single rune, feeling that this magic array continued to exude a dark aura, and if he contacted the previous thief's words, he knew that this was the cursed magic array.
Secretly remembering the rune magic array on the ground, he waved his hand and said, "Stand back, retreat into the passage, I'll destroy it!" ”
It is very simple to destroy a magic array, and it is okay to destroy its runes, but if the runes are destroyed, the magic array is unbalanced, and various energies in the magic circle may explode, so there is a certain danger.
Link himself followed everyone back into the cave, and didn't stop until the corner, and then the wand pointed forward, and in an instant, three glass beads, according to the position of the magic array runes in his memory, he controlled the glass beads to fly out.
There were three bangs, then echoes from the cave, and after a while, a loud bang was heard, and then a dark aura surged along the cave passage like a tide.
Although this is not magic, the aura of darkness is the mortal enemy of life, and if a person's body is washed by this breath, he will be seriously injured if he does not die.
Link had been prepared for this, and after the glass bead exploded, he triggered the prepared magic scroll, which was a level 1 magic secondary guardian enchantment.
The white light flickered, the scrolls failed one by one, and in an instant, Link triggered 6 scrolls, blessing a guardian magic on everyone. Almost as soon as he finished, the dark aura rushed over, this aura and the magic on everyone's body kept colliding, the light of the magic continued to flicker, and after three seconds, the magic collapsed, and the dark aura basically subsided.
Strange to say, when this dark tide rushed, although the entire cave was still dim, the previous gloomy and cold feeling suddenly disappeared, and all kinds of inexplicable voices in my head disappeared.
The curse is gone.
Everyone took a long breath and relaxed a lot, and anyone who walked in this hellish place, and kept thinking about all kinds of demonic whispers in their heads, would definitely breed all kinds of negative emotions.
"My lord, what now?" Ark asked.
Link thought for a moment and said, "The curse is gone, let's go back first, gather the militia and then come back to explore the cave." ”
There are more than 100 people in the militia, this is a powerful force, before there was a curse magic array to stop them, they couldn't do anything, but now it's okay.
This is also the safest way to do it.
Everyone nodded and walked the way they came, ready to exit the cave.
Then, something happened.
"Hey, why is the front still a passage? I remember it was an exit. Ark exclaimed.
The other people's faces also changed.
The passage of this cave is very short, and it is only one road, it is absolutely impossible to go the wrong way, but now, the situation ahead has completely subverted everyone's imagination.
Link frowned slightly, he tried to send a glass bead to the wall of the passage in front of him, and with a 'bang', the glass bead exploded, and the stone chips flew everywhere, indicating that the passage ahead was not an illusion, but a real one.
But why is there such a strange situation like a ghost hitting a wall? He hadn't encountered this situation in his previous game, and Link couldn't figure out what was going on for a while.
"Don't panic, keep walking!" He forced himself to calm down, he knew that he was the backbone of the team, and the others could be afraid, but he was the only one who couldn't mess around.
