A humanoid monster of more than ten meters straightened up from the pool, and a layer of deflated flesh could be faintly seen on the dark green torso, clinging to the craggy bones, constantly oozing green juice out; The eyes and mouth were sewn together by threads that shimmered with white light, and they could neither open their eyes nor make a sound.

As if the dead had just crawled out of the cold tomb, the humanoid monster's arms swung twice in the air as if to celebrate its resight, and then its face, which was not much better than a skeleton, turned to the secret passage.

"Show up, lich!"

Knowing that he had been discovered, Natsu immediately summoned the lich.

"Summon a dark knight."

She ordered the lich.

"Sa......

The Black Spirit Knight let out a breath and walked out of the dark space, appearing in the secret passage with a long sword.

After the two undead creatures appeared, Xia Yuan stepped back, the humanoid monster's long arm grabbed at the entrance with a puff of green venom, and five fingers were deeply inserted into the ground.

The lich flew backwards at Natsu's behest, leaving only the Black Spirit Knight in place, its shadowy body quickly dodging the blow, the kind of venom that could erode through all the rocks splashed on its body, burning only a few small holes in its cloak.

After the breath of the living disappeared, the movement of the humanoid monster stopped.

The only intact organ on its face was its nose, and it looked up and sniffed in the air for a moment, then slowly climbed up from the pool with its massive body shaking.

"This kind of guy covered in venom is too restrained by a melee class. I don't want to fight it. ”

Natsu commanded the invisible Dark Spirit Knight, sneaking up on the dead Cornell and leaving it on standby. After waiting for a while, the anxious voice of the little Lori in black came to my mind:

"The hosts! I've detected powerful monster waves, are you okay now? ”

This secret passage was too long, beyond the distance between the two of them, and Stephanie, who had been concentrating on copying runes and formations, noticed that something was wrong and immediately rushed over to this side.

"I'm fine."

Xia said to her:

"Put aside the work over there, come here and do me a favor."

"I'm here master."

After the little Lori in black came over, Xia asked her to go to the side of the black spirit knight:

"Stephanie. Use invisibility to find out if there is anything noteworthy on that corpse, and then tell me what it is. ”

The little Lori in black looked through her clothes for a while. Reported to:

"There's a very strong magic pocket on his chest, but it's connected to his heart by a few wires, it's supposed to be a trap that triggers whenever someone takes the bag without permission."

Then she looked through the bag again:

"It's white inside. I couldn't tell what it was, it didn't seem to be solid. ”

"Magic Pocket...... This thing itself is very rare, but what will it contain? ”

Now that he knew that it was this reliable prop that kept the item, Natsu had no scruples and gave an order to the lich.

The black spirit knight stretched out his spiked hand and touched the corpse, and the corpse remained motionless, and then the black-clothed little Lori appeared from the air and ripped off the magic bag.

The corpse exploded, and a cloud of blood rose from the ground. A vicious curse rang out in the air, raining down blood and spilling it on her and the Black Spirit Knight.

The blood rain bounced off immediately after touching the body of the little Lori in black. Not a drop was touched; The Black Spirit Knight suffered the explosion head-on, his cloak shattered in half, and the curse mixed with blood and water pounced on its armor, quickly disappearing into it.

"Click......"

The pitch-black armor shook a few times, and a bright light flashed in the black spirit knight's eyes.

"Wow, master. It's up a notch! ”

The surprised voice of the little Lori in black came to my mind.

"Boom!"

Noticing the unusual movement here, the humanoid monster's fist smashed down like a house.

It's different from what happened to the man just now. Its fist was blocked by the Black Spirit Knight with his sword.

Although he blocked the huge fist unscathed, the Black Spirit Knight's leg also sank into the rock, sinking more than a foot into it, which showed the horror of this blow.

The black-clothed little Lori flew over incognito, wanting to hand over the magic bag to Natsu.

"The Black Spirit's immortal state itself is one of the most powerful curses, how could an ordinary curse hurt it."

Natsu didn't take the bag, but let her keep it for the time being, focusing on the battle in front of her.

"You can actually absorb mana to level up? It's a strange setting. She thought to herself.

The attack of humanoid monsters is very heavy, and the advantage of the black spirit knight is that his body is extremely strong, and his strength is not weak; The fighting method of the two non-human creatures is basically a hard encounter, there are no moves and dodges at all, and the kind of thumping and thumping violent collision makes Xia who is hiding in the secret passage secretly frightened.

The place where the exploding corpse used to lie was now a three-meter-wide deep hole, and the Black Spirit Knight's head was obviously not so flexible, and it was forced by the humanoid monster to keep retreating during the battle, and accidentally fell down, and was trampled in by the monster's wide paws.

"Ugh! Yikes! ”

The sound of the sword stabbing can be heard below, and the undead will not lose their combat effectiveness so easily, and still stubbornly carry out the order.

"Cangchang."

Natsu drew his sword.

"Master, what are you going to do?"

The little Lori in black said nervously.

"I'll see if I can hurt it. Since he was promoted to the Sword Sect, he hasn't fought with a sword seriously. ”

Xia moved his arm:

"Didn't you just read its message? It's just an A+-rated boss, just watch out for its venom. ”

Her overall strength has now increased significantly, which also means that the enemy's evaluation has declined, and the monster in front of her was definitely an S-level enemy before, but now it is only A+, which is equivalent to the situation in which she faces the blue demon on Necronomicon Island. It's not an untouchable gap.

"Dang!"

Natsu's body turned into a phantom and instantly appeared at the feet of the humanoid monster, and the blade sliced through its ankle. There was a slashing sound on metal.

"It's so sturdy!"

She felt a shock in her heart, and a flip was out of the boss's attack range, and the humanoid monster slowly turned around when it noticed a new enemy, and walked towards her with every step, the ground shaking with each step.

"Although the movement is slow, but the body is full of venom, if it were an ordinary person, it would be over if you touch it."

Natsu doesn't have a skill to activate. Instead, it slowly retreated backwards, and the humanoid monster took a big stride. After a few steps, he came to her side, stretched out his arm and grabbed her, but she was sensitive to dodge.

The giant hand gripped the ground, and the fingers were embedded in it without pulling it out for a moment. Xia jumped up on the spot, kicked the rock wall with a reflexive kick, and rushed forward with his strength, his body upside down in the air, and the tip of the sword slashed down on the arm of the humanoid monster, scraping out a long spark.

"I can't cut it at all."

She shook the blade of her sword stained with green venom in midair, and when she landed, she turned behind the boss, dispelling the idea of continuing the fierce battle with the other party.

"Lich, can you enslave it with soul spells. This monster is also a type of undead. ”

She asked the lich.

lv999's advanced profession, and he is an undead mage who is good at the soul field, so there should still be hope to subdue the other party, right?

"Great hosts. The opponent already has a powerful mark, and it needs to be erased before they can try to cast spells. ”

"How to erase? Is it a soul mark. ”

Natsu ran around the pool, widened the distance between him and the humanoid monster, and ran back into the secret passage, and the black spirit knight behind him got up from the pit and stabbed the boss's feet a few times. The hatred was pulled back, and the two undead creatures were ping-pong over there again.

"It's a relatively superficial branding spell. The easiest way to crack the magic is to remove the skull and scrape the magic thread on it. ”

The lich came up with a cruel solution.

…… Scrape someone else's skull?

Xia shuddered.

"Forget it, recruit all your men, and find a way to get rid of this thing."

She gave up on subduing the monster, because she couldn't afford to delay the time and energy.

But you can't leave it here and ignore it, and you just give the order to kill.

"Yes, great master."

The lich bowed his head:

"If it's just to get rid of it, give me half an hour to do it."

As he spoke, he waved his bone staff, and another black spirit knight appeared from the void, holding his sword and walking towards the warband over there.

"I didn't expect you to be quite efficient."

Xia asked with some surprise, she had thought it would take a day:

"What's your name? I haven't asked you before. ”

"My name is Fei Nanxi. Rohar. Mottled gram ......"

The lich uttered a long list of names.

"Stop."

Natsu's headache prevented it from continuing:

"I'll call you Fei Nanxi in the future, this name is easier to remember, and it's also very auspicious."

"As you wish, my master."

The lich replied respectfully.

Ignoring how it manipulated the black spirits to beat the boss, Xia and the black-clothed little Lori with the magic bag returned to the lair.

"What the hell is in here?"

She asked the little Lori in black to put her things on the ground and looked at the inconspicuous bag expectantly.

The so-called magic bag is actually a beast skin bag with a spell ban on the bag, and the quality is closely related to the type of animal skin used in the production of zuò, the material of this pocket is a bit like the skin of some powerful monster, and it seems that the spy of the punzan attaches great importance to the contents of it.

"Master, be careful, that guy whose corpse will explode is too insidious, maybe he will do something in this."

The black-clothed little Lori pulled Natsu's clothes and said.

"That's why I didn't pick it up just now."

Xia thought about the way to open it safely in his mind, and replied casually:

"As soon as my hand touches it, it will destroy the magic on it, this thing is quite valuable, it would be a pity to destroy it...... Hey? Where did so much water come from. ”

She was about to try to untie the bag from a distance with her telekinesis, when she noticed that the ground in the distance had darkened, and a large amount of water had begun to seep into it from the direction of the entrance to the nest.

"Maybe it's raining here, master, we're from the north, and the rain clouds may be drifting over."

The little Lori in black guessed.

"Yes."

Natsu asked her to put the bag away:

"Go out and see, it's underground, and it would be bad if it was flooded in."

The two of them came to the entrance of the lair, and just as they walked outside, a thunderclap sounded, and a heavy rain fell from the sky, pouring down on the two of them as if the sky had fallen.

The black-clothed little Lori immediately went into invisibility, and escaped under a rock with Xia, who was drenched in soup.

This neighborhood is very desolate, there is no human figure, the ground mixed with rocks and dirt is white and white, and it is full of water as far as the eye can see, obviously the rain has just begun to wreak havoc, but the ground is already like it has been raining all night, a layer of white rain and mist covers the surrounding scenery, through the heavy rain to the distance, trees and rocks can only see vague shadows.

"Lich and black spirits should not be afraid of the rain, let them deal with that monster first, it's too dangerous to put it here."

"Find a place where we'll go in and hide for a while."

She said to the little Lori in black.

"I found a good place up there when I came, so come with me, master."

The black-clothed little Lori led her all the way to a sloping cave with the entrance facing downward, and Natsu glanced around after entering, lit a fire with magic, and began to roast the clothes.

"The magic seems to be a little unstable."

She stared at the flickering flames, and felt strange in her heart.

This is something she has never done since she was promoted to a mage, not to mention that now she has become a great mage, and the control of both mental power and magic power has reached a new level, and it is even more unlikely that this kind of situation will only be encountered by novices.

"What's the matter, this cave is shaking."

She felt a little unsteady on her feet.

After a while, there was a rumbling sound from the top of the cave, like a giant beast striking the mountain, which shook people's hearts.

"Get out!"

Ignoring that her clothes were only half dry, she put out the flames with a clench of her hand and rushed out as fast as she could.

"Mudslide!"

Seeing the scene in front of her, she cried out.

A large amount of rocks mixed with mud and sand rolled down from above, covering the hole in an instant, and she drew her long sword and struck the gravel, her pants burned, and two flame wings stretched out from it, flapping and carrying her into the sky.

Lightning flashed in the air, thunder rolled overhead, and then exploded in my ears, and in just a few minutes, the once peaceful mountain peak was transformed into an island tossed in the ocean.

"Quick, go to a higher place and hide for a while, it's too hard."

Xia felt that she was completely surrounded by rain, and the frantic currents of water continued to whip her body, and her physical and mental power were rapidly consumed, as if she was fighting a vicious battle with nature.

The little Lori in black came to a bare cliff with her, found a hollow place and barely hid in it.

"This rain is too heavy, it will be a flood on the earth, and the mudslide just now, it's like making a disaster movie."

Natsu looked at the sky that was illuminated by lightning as if it were day, and shrunk his body to endure the thunder one after another, and felt that his ears were about to be deafened.

"Stephanie?"

She suddenly found that the little Lori in black had lifted her invisibility, left her side, and walked into the rainstorm in a daze.

"What's wrong?"

Xia had never seen the little Lori in black show such a look, and walked up to her and asked.

The black-clothed little Lori grabbed her heart with one hand, turned her head to look at her master, and the expression on her face was a little painful:

"Main quest!"

She said in a difficult voice. (To be continued) R580
