Chapter 30: An Unexpected Discovery
Because the process of collecting was too shocking, after Liu Minghao said that he needed to wait for his spiritual power to recover a little before proceeding, Adesbay and Ells immediately nodded again and again, looking as a matter of course. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Adesbay was completely convinced of Liu Minghao's strength at this time, so he left Els to accompany the two, and left the tent in a hurry, gathered the clansmen, and made preparations before leaving.
Liu Minghao, under the guise of recovery, sat on the side and studied the control method of the jackal, hoping to find a way to resettle him.
After all, they will leave soon, the movement speed of the jackals is not fast, because of its existence before, it seriously delayed their marching speed, with such a lesson from the past, it is obviously not a wise move to take the jackals for a long distance, if it really can't be done, you can only leave the jackals here.
……
The process of releasing is much simpler than collecting, there are almost no energy fluctuations, Liu Minghao is still in a posture as before, standing next to Hopt, and softly repeating the spell that sounds very mysterious, creating the atmosphere it should be, and then the real spell is recited.
An invisible energy fluctuation spread out from Liu Minghao's hand, and the gray-black ghostly light slowly overflowed the soul suppression bottle, winding upward, gradually transforming into a black shadow, and as the obscure syllables that seemed to come from the netherworld disappeared, the black shadow suddenly rushed out downward, submerging into Hoppt's mouth and nose.
A moment later, as if in a deep sleep, Hoppt suddenly gasped and screamed, and sat up suddenly.
This scream, standing on the opposite side in shock, Els, who was holding his breath, couldn't help but gasp, and when he saw Hopt turn over and stand in front of him without any abnormality, he was completely relieved.
"It's amazing." With a puzzled look on his face, Hoppt shook his head slightly when Els asked him, "I only felt a flash of light in front of my eyes, and I didn't know anything." ”
"It's unimaginable." Els nodded as well, muttering thoughtfully.
After seeing the whole process with his own eyes, Els was completely convinced, and naturally had no objection to Liu Minghao's plan, and at this time Adesbay was also ready and returned to the tent.
Ten minutes later, Liu Minghao and Jiang Jie left the gathering place with a team of dozens of horses, crossed the desert, and galloped in the direction of Fort Byton.
……
The Guardians have guarded the Tower of Hamna for generations, living in an oasis in the heart of a desert that is extremely secluded for hundreds of miles, with only endless yellow sand stretching out into the distance under the sky.
The group galloped for nearly an hour before entering the edge of the desert, and the monotonous scenery around them changed slightly, with the occasional small oasis or clumps of desert thorns, which flickered away in the distance, and quickly disappeared on the horizon behind them.
Liu Minghao was in a hurry to get to Fort Byton, and he didn't bother to pay attention to the spectacular desert scenery, and walked forward for several miles, and the outline of an oasis faintly appeared in front of him, and when he looked up, he could see the silver waves and the camp tents of different heights scattered among them.
It was supposed to be an oasis in a desert paradise, but at this time, the fire was rising and the smoke was filled, and it was obvious that something was wrong.
The living environment in the desert is extremely harsh, and the various tribes have always been friendly and help each other.
Adesbay, who was at the front of the team, also noticed something unusual, and immediately waved his hand, gave a whistle, turned his horse's head and rushed towards the oasis.
The team of horses also turned around and followed him, galloping towards the oasis.
This is obviously a small tribe station, traces of life can be seen everywhere, at this time everywhere is a mess, everywhere can be seen dead corpses on the ground, everyone soon came to the front, saw the tragic situation in front of them, jumped off their horses, entered the station to search for survivors.
Liu Minghao walked to a collapsed tent, leaned over a corpse that was crushed under the carriage, couldn't help frowning slightly, and checked several corpses one after another, without exception, they were all miserable, like dried corpses.
"What's going on? Is this being slaughtered by a vampire? Jiang Jie stood behind Liu Minghao, looking at the tragic situation in front of him, and couldn't hide his shock.
"Immorton." Liu Minghao straightened up and looked around, a sense of foreboding rose in his heart, and he muttered to himself.
Jiang Jie was slightly stunned, looked down at the several dry and wrinkled corpses beside him, seemed to have thought of something, and realized that something was wrong, "Can he rely on absorbing the blood and qi of these people to recover his strength?" ”
This is also something that Liu Minghao is worried about, if Immorton can rely on this method to gain strength, it means that their plan has completely failed, and it will be even more difficult to deal with this powerful sacrifice.
At this time, Adesbay, who was the first to settle in the place, walked over with a gloomy face, received Jiang Jie's inquiring gaze, shook his head slightly, and said in a low voice, "All of them are dead, and there is no survivor." ”
Jiang Jie frowned, his right hand slowly stroked the snake beast on his wrist, and said with some regret, "It's a pity that we are a step late, if it was what happened just now, Xiao Hei would be able to reproduce the scene at that time." ”
When Liu Minghao heard his words, he glanced at the black snake beast, raised his eyebrows slightly, and turned his face to look at Adesbay, "Are there any other tribes around here?" ”
Adesbay was slightly stunned at first, and then immediately opened his eyes, realizing what Liu Minghao meant, and suddenly his face changed slightly, "Yes, this is the periphery of the desert, there are many small tribes nearby, the nearest tribe is in the east, if you ride a horse, you can get to it in ten minutes, there is an above-ground river, along the riverbank, there are many scattered small tribes gathered." ”
Heading east, it was the direction that led to Fort Byton, and if it was indeed Immorton's doing, then it was highly likely that he would slaughter the tribes he passed along the way, gaining power.
……
Because he was going to check the situation, he lacked flexibility with a large group of people, and once he encountered Immorton, it was difficult to retreat, and it was very likely that he would lose his manpower in vain, so at Liu Minghao's suggestion, Adesbay ordered the tribesmen who followed him to detour to Fort Byton from another road, and the three of them traveled lightly and rushed towards the tribe to the east.
Several tribes passed along the way, all of them were in a mess, corpses were all over the field, the three of them felt heavier and heavier, and marched forward silently all the way, and soon another tribe appeared in sight, as soon as they approached the periphery of the station, the snake beast on Jiang Jie's wrist raised its flat head and hissed.
Jiang Jie breathed a sigh of relief, turned over and jumped off the horse, and ran quickly into the station. Seeing this, Liu Minghao and Adesbay couldn't help but be shocked, and they will follow closely behind.
"The dead air is still very strong, and this time there should be no problem." Jiang Jie took a turn in the station, found a relatively open terrain, and began to draw a formation on the ground.
Liu Minghao and Adesbay were at his request, and more than a dozen male corpses were transported over and placed on top of the formation he had drawn according to certain rules.
Soon everything was ready, Jiang Jie stood in the center of the formation, the snake beast of a few feet long, the body had grown several times, coiled around his shoulder, the head was held high, with Jiang Jie's strange gesture, a faint light suddenly appeared on the formation, and several black gases surged, converging in mid-air, and continuously poured into the body of the snake beast.
With the continuous influx of black qi, a faint image gradually condensed above the head of the snake beast.
Countless streams of fire, falling from the sky, sparks splashing in all directions, soon ignited the station, and everyone fled in panic, but they were blocked by an invisible barrier, and they could only look at the black figure that appeared in front of them without resistance.
"Immorton." With his eyes fixed on the air, Adesbay let out a low cry at the sight of the black-cloaked figure, his voice filled with unconcealable fear.
Seeing that with a wave of Immorton's hand, several people turned into dried corpses and lost their lives, Liu Minghao frowned slightly, because his whole body was shrouded in a black cloak, and from the image, he couldn't see the changes in Immorton's body at all, but he obviously noticed that whenever several people fell, his movements were smoother, his steps were more stable, and his speed of movement was also greatly improved.
The image lasted only a dozen seconds before it began to blur and quickly dissipate into the air.
Jiang Jie let out a sigh of relief, and walked over with a pale face, the black snake beast had already changed back to its original size, wrapped around his wrist and motionless, as if it had fallen into a deep sleep.
After seeing the scene of Immorton being powerful, the faces of the three of them were a little ugly.
After a long dull moment, Adesbay broke the silence, "The situation is not the most desperate, the power of the undead spell is beyond your imagination, Immorton can only be truly resurrected by killing the four people who opened the box and obtaining their flesh and soul, and this constraint cannot be changed by the gods." Even if he kills all the people in Egypt, he will only temporarily regain his strength, which he cannot control at all, and will decrease after using it once, and even if he does nothing, the power he gains will quickly dissipate with the passage of time. ”
Hearing his words, the faces of the two of them also improved slightly, the guardian clan has guarded Hamnata for generations, and is very familiar with the art of the undead, and as the patriarch, Adesbay has all the unknown secrets of the entire tribe, and the words he says naturally have a strong credibility.
"That's right, the binding force of the spell on the soul is extremely strong, no matter what means Immorton has, if he wants to be fully resurrected, he must kill those four people according to the spell in order to obtain the ultimate liberation." Jiang Jie nodded and agreed, because he has snakes and beasts, he is also somewhat involved in spells, although he does not have an in-depth understanding of the ancient spells of Egypt, but the basic rules of many spells are still the same.
