Chapter 42: Necromancy

The timing of Ian's perception that the Whispering Bone was approaching the swamp was just right, for decades, his research on the death element never stopped, and the degree of erosion of the body was also increasing day by day, especially the decaying nature of the death element, even he often wondered whether he was still a living person, or whether he was now just a thinking corpse.

The members of the "Masquerade" only know that the leader is the man who wears a mask and a black robe all the year round. As the leader of the Masquerade, he hadn't shown his true face to anyone for more than a decade, and Ian could clearly feel that when the day came when the death element in his body was depleted, his life would also dissipate. But none of this matters, as long as you get the Secret Whisper Bone, all the problems will be solved.

Liu Li still wanted to delay for a while, hiding in the magical bone held in his left hand behind him, the power emitted by the death element was gradually being channeled out by him, but it would take a while to cast magic with this element. But Ian obviously couldn't wait, the two warriors of the other side had already rushed over, and the rain of arrows in the sky was about to fall into his own position.

Although in this swamp rich in black elements, the most suitable is black spells, but if you want to resist this rain of arrows, with Liu Li's current level, it is not enough, and Liu Li is now trying to familiarize himself with the strange black element of the death element, and it is obviously not easy to continue to control the black element to cast spells at this time. But fortunately, compared to the green and white *** methods, the red spell will not be more expensive to cast, and the power has not been reduced in the slightest.

"Dash!" The left hand was hidden behind him, clutching the bone of the Secret Words, but it did not affect Liu Li to continue to use the red element to cast spells, and the dazzling azure arc shone and gathered in the "Return". "Shock!" is Liu Li's unique dual cultivation technique of law and martial arts, under the blessing of "Flash", the flash rush hit with the power of "Shock" completely lost its penetrating power as lightning, but directly spread out, forming a huge power grid shrouded in the sky over the caravan. Although the arrows rained down, the entire power grid was not leaky, and not even a single arrow could pass through the grid and land in the caravan. This also relieved the shield-wielding guards and mercenaries, who were not confident that they could keep their teammates safe in such a dense rain of arrows. Especially at this time, it was still late at night, no better than the "masks" who lived in the swamp all year round, and although the moonlight was still bright, they still couldn't tell where each arrow landed.

Liu Li did not stop controlling the "flash rush", as the red element was further mobilized, the "flash" also kept swimming in the power grid, and the power grid that covered the sky became brighter and brighter, and the dense arcs were intertwined and staggered, as if it were substance. Liu Li planned to finish the battle, even if he knew that this magic might consume nearly half of his mental power, and he wanted to prevent the "masked" archers from continuing to pose a threat to the caravan. Liu Li ignored the two warriors who rushed towards him, he believed that Eve, who was a second-order martial artist, had enough ability to stop them. In addition, the captain of the guard, who is also a martial artist, has enough ability to make up for Eve's mistakes even if he is injured. After all, compared to the "Silver Face" and "White Face" that attacked, Eve's rank was one level higher than them, and even if there was a mistake, it would not be too difficult to make up for it.

However, just before Liu Li was about to smash the power grid above directly into the opponent's archers, a scene in the distance made the corners of Liu Li's mouth twitch. The squirrel was quietly reaching behind an archer who was standing slightly away from the crowd, the dagger that had once stabbed Liu Li was inconspicuous in the night. Just watch her left hand firmly cover the mouth of her foe, who is facing away from her, to prevent him from screaming, and the dagger in her right hand wipes her throat with precision, and the movement is as clean as a textbook.

Although the squirrel's position is on the edge of the "Kamene" archer team, it is still within the range of Liu Li's spell. However, at this moment, Liu Li's power grid is ready to go, and the elements contained in it consume nearly half of Liu Li's spiritual power, and if he wants to accurately control such a huge elemental power, Liu Li can't stop just saying stop. Liu Li had to give up and continue to extract the death element in the Bone of Secret Words, and at the same time as the power grid smashed into the other party, a black hole channel unfolded beside him, and the other end of the channel was located behind the squirrel. Seeing that the power grid was about to fall against the "masked" team of archers, Liu Li directly poked the "return" of his right hand beside him, and then reached into the black hole, grabbed the tail that flicked behind the squirrel and pulled it hard.

Looking at the wound on his right arm, Liu Li sighed helplessly, although the squirrel stopped attacking immediately after discovering that the person who was holding the tail was Liu Li, although the wound was long, it only cut the epidermis, and it no longer bled under the influence of Liu Li's strong physique, but this was also the first time Liu Li was injured after the start of the battle tonight, or by mistake.

"Didn't you wait obediently?"

Hearing Liu Li's reproachful words, the squirrel couldn't help but stick out her tongue, and she also discovered her recklessness, the group of archers in the distance were still struggling in the sea of lightning. However, Liu Li's behavior of opening the black hole passage in order to rescue the squirrel gave Ian a chance to seize the opportunity to take the lead.

Liu Li was very glad that the timing of his joining the battle was when the "mask" caught up with the caravan and had just formed a confrontation, and he had not had time to encircle it, otherwise his power grid would not have been able to cover the entire archer team. Now, at least, under the onslaught of the power grid, the caravan no longer has to worry about the threat of arrows from afar.

However, it was precisely because of the release of the power grid formed by the "flash rush", coupled with the fact that in order to rescue the squirrel, he stopped channeling the death element contained in the bones of the codeword, Ian finally seized the opportunity, and a gray ray shot out from his fingertips and stabbed straight into Liu Li's chest.

"Be careful!" reminded the captain of the caravan's guard, the uncle whose name Liu Li didn't know yet. Although he was injured and was unable to confront the "masked" warrior head-on, he could only use it as a countermeasure behind Eve, but as a warrior's reaction, he also had a huge advantage over other guards and mercenaries of the caravan.

The gray rays were inconspicuous in the dark night, although they had the unique brilliance of spells, but the only one who really noticed it was the captain of the guard who was the one who responded, and the others, including the squirrel who had just been dragged out of the black hole by Liu Li, were unaware. The captain of the guard knew that he was the only one who could stop Ian's spell, and he didn't even think too much about it, didn't think about what kind of spell it was, and whether he would lose his life under the spell, but pounced directly in front of Liu Li, and blocked the blow for Liu Li with his own body.

The gray ray hit the chest of the captain of the guard, and with the hit of the spell, the captain of the guard aged at a speed visible to the naked eye, his solid muscles became shriveled, his skin was wrinkled as if he had lost moisture, his short brown hair turned gray, and the aura of the whole person also decayed. It was as if he had finished the remaining hundred years of his life in just a few breaths, and he had lost his life.

"Take care of Miss for me. These were the last words he left before he lost his life.

"No!Bluman!" Eve, as a second-order martial artist, even if she looked back flawlessly during the battle, she knew that her escort captain had died through the grasp of the qi machine, and she was furious but she had no other way but to vent the grief in her heart with a roar, and in the face of the two martial artists, she knew that she could not lose an inch because of grief. In fact, for being able to resist the two warriors on the opposite side for such a long time, she also knew that it was just because Ian was still worried about her sister and ordered her subordinates not to kill them. Otherwise, even if they are both beginner-level martial artists, even if they have some advantages in cultivation, they can't get any benefit in the face of two opponents who live in Sin City and deal with fighting and death all day long.

Regarding the death of the captain of the guard, Bluman, Liu Li's anger in his heart was no less than Eve's, after all, this uncle lost his life for himself. Under the agitation of his mind, Liu Li did not notice that on the blue that existed in his meditation space, a gray mark distorted and emerged, and the gray was no different from the death element guided by the Secret Bone in his left hand.

At this moment, "Silver Face" took advantage of Eve's mistake in grief and seized an opportunity, broke through her barrier and rushed to Liu Li's side, swinging the long sword in his hand and slashing at Liu Li's chest. At this time, Liu Li, with his left hand hidden behind him, was trying to mobilize the death element in the bones of the code, and his right hand was still dragging the tail of the squirrel, "Returning" was inserted beside him, completely powerless to stop this violent blow.

Liu Li suddenly fell into a strange state, as if something that had been missing had finally been partially completed, and the gray death element flowed down from the bones of the code, and then spread close to the ground, extending to the already dead captain of the guard.

At the moment when the "Silver Face" long sword swung rapidly, a sharp pain came, and the last scene he saw in front of him was a giant sword that pierced into his body and penetrated out of his chest with his own blood, and he couldn't understand why the corpse that had aged and died would get up again to give himself a sword.

Liu Li was still in a state of distraction, the long sword that had lost its strength due to the death of his master cut a long blood mark down his left shoulder and did not let him out of this wonderful state, this was the first time he passively sank his consciousness into the meditation space during the battle, and he found the gray mark. At the same time, I also saw the dark red runes that had been engraved on the blue of the meditation space after he had just obtained the "Return" from Wells in Casfield City.

"Necromancer!" Liu Li, who regained consciousness, saw the squirrel next to her with a hint of horror at first sight, and heard her still trembling voice.
