Chapter 112: Shadow of the Tomb
Two days later, Xiao Hei still hadn't woken up, and Chen Mian started a new mission, at which point her mana reached 117.2.
In the task transit space, the golden text of the mission introduction appeared in front of Chen Mian's eyes.
"Shadow of the Tomb: When humans die, their hearts stop beating, and their breath of life dissipates, the spirits can plead with some demon lord or god for a reprieve, and then return in an immortal form to bring eternal war to the living, which is the corpse.
In a crypt deep underground in the jungle of Aral, a dead spirit's cry is answered by the evil god and becomes a corpse demon between life and death.
Escaping its nasty sunlight during the day and destroying creatures at night, its hunger for the souls of the living and its yearning for the power of death led it to resurrect the humanoids it killed into zombies to help it crush the creatures in front of it.
Please deal with the corpses. ”
After reading the mission brief, Chen Mian realized that her opponent this time was an undead creature, and it was useful to deal with the positive energy skills in the undead priest class, but she didn't use these often, so she secretly decided to brush up the useful spells before fighting.
In the dark night, in the dead and desolate Arar jungle, where birds and beasts are extinct, a woman in a dark purple robe suddenly appeared.
Chen Mian saw that it was dark around him, and he was worried that there was danger around him, so he immediately put on mage armor and rode the witch's flying broom into the air, the flying broom was much lighter and more flexible than the magic flying carpet, and it was more suitable for use when doing tasks alone.
At present, the safest state for her is when she is hidden in the air on the witch's flying broomstick. After taking off, Chen Mian put on insect-eye night vision goggles for himself and carefully observed the jungle below.
Before, she only thought it was very dark, not even the moonlight and starlight, and there was no sound, the silence was creepy.
Now that she could see more clearly with the help of the worm-eye night vision goggles, she felt that something was even more wrong, the trees in the jungle were not very energetic, and many of the edges of the leaves were a little yellow.
And it was really a dead silence, only the sound of his own breathing could be heard, and there was no gust of wind.
Compared to before, Chen Mian has changed a lot, and she can fight without changing her face in the face of strangely shaped creatures, but today this forest makes her feel a little uneasy, even if she doesn't see any kind of creatures, this is the too quiet environment makes people feel psychological.
Chen Mian really wanted to take out her phone and play a passionate song to ruin this weird atmosphere, but unfortunately the phone and headphones are both Blue Star's items and can't be taken out in the mission world, as for her singing by herself, she will expose herself after speaking.
After thinking about it, she simply entered the attached space in the air and put a calm mind on herself, which was a spell she had just learned this month.
At that time, with the word "tomb" in the mission name, Chen Mian was a little worried about encountering something weird, it was hard to say whether it would make her feel fearful, and the environment in the tomb could make people feel a little uneasy.
Although she had seen spirits in Blue Star and visited the cemetery late at night, the level of Blue Star's extraordinary strength that she had found so far was not high, and the impact was not great, and the difficulty of each mission was related to her level, and the terrifying appearance sometimes had a mental deterrent effect, so she chose this spell in advance to learn it first, which could make her emotionally stable and maintain a normal heart.
I didn't expect her to use it as soon as she entered the mission, at this time she really missed Xiao Hei a little, at least they can transmit their minds, and the extreme silence always makes people nervous about the slightest breeze.
After giving himself the spell, Chen Mian regained his composure, left the attached space, and rode a broom in the air.
She first flew around in a small area, and found that the plants in the west were in poor condition, and they had already dropped a lot of leaves, which made her think of the influence of the ghost woman on the place of residence, maybe the corpse demon also has a similar ability, in short, the source of these plant anomalies is most likely in the west.
Chen Mian slowly flew to the west, checking the state of the plants below as he flew, and soon entered a dead land, the land was gloomy and gray, and all the plants died. While focusing on the area, she stumbled upon a fire in the southern shadows, and she flew there at full speed without continuing to check.
In the distance, I saw a figure holding a torch running wildly through the forest, followed by a person in close pursuit, followed by a dozen slow-running figures.
When he got closer, Chen Mian saw a thin woman in a gray robe holding a torch, she was running desperately, her white face was covered with beads of sweat, and her eyes were full of horror and despair.
And the "person" chasing after her, with messy gray hair, wearing a full set of studded leather armor, holding a long sword and carrying a longbow, has always kept a distance not close or far, obviously the person in front of him is about to run out of strength, and his speed is getting slower and slower.
At first glance, it looks normal, but under the high-speed running, the "person" behind him did not make a little panting, and when he looked closely, the facial skin that was covered by the messy hair was dry, the bones were exposed, and in the black eye sockets, there were only rotten flesh and blood lumps, and the skin of the hand holding the long sword was blue, as if there were only a few bones.
Seeing that compared to the pursuers behind her, it was definitely more like a gray-robed woman who stepped on a shallow pit and fell to the ground, Chen Mian immediately made a decision and threw out a colorful bubble ball to cover her inside.
The gray-robed woman closed her eyes in despair, and after a while she found that the expected attack had not come, and only felt that she had been pushed forward a little, only to find that the thing behind her was angrily slashing at the obstacle that suddenly appeared in front of her, and her eyes widened, both puzzled and glad.
Chen Mian looked at the colorful bubble ball and could withstand it, and then he sensed this creature that looked like a dead man.
"Real name: Ulla
Race: Ghouls
Health: 100%
Attributes: Strength 20, Constitution 22, Agility 18, Intelligence 11, Perception 14
Skills: Multiple Attack; suck life; Longsword mastery; Longbow mastery. ”
Sure enough, it was the corpse demon described in the mission brief, Chen Mian was very glad that he found the fire in time, and even more glad that he only used the colorful bubble ball to temporarily protect the woman, and did not expose himself, this corpse demon is not only proficient in the long sword, but the longbow he carries is not an ornament.
Those killed by the Life Drain skill will become zombies controlled by the corpse demon after 24 hours, and the corpse demon can control up to fifteen zombies at a time.
The twelve figures in the back finally followed, the first few running movements were quite flexible, the back was a little stiff, and the last one was even like a child who had just learned to walk, stumbling and running, but they were all blue and black, and their eyes were dull, Chen Mian instantly understood that these were zombies controlled by corpse demons.
She also perceives the information of these zombies, which is much worse than the corpse demons, and only has one slam skill.
