Chapter 29: Dark Shadows
Behind the three of them, a cold chill swept by, and a black shadow struck Himma, who was manipulating the black iron net, and Hima only had time to turn her head and watch the claws of the black shadow attack.
At this moment of urgency, Wanba hurriedly jumped up from the ground to block Jima's back, and fell to the ground after suffering a heavy blow from the black shadow with his back, his body motionless.
"Wamba—"
Leighton saw that Wanba had been hit hard, and he took advantage of the situation to sprinkle the soul-destroying water in his hand into the black shadow. A scorching "zizi" sound sounded, like a red-hot soldering iron meeting water.
The shadow in the darkness was hit hard, let out a terrible wail, turned and ran into the depths of the cavern behind him.
From beginning to end, it was a matter of an instant, and the three of them didn't see clearly what kind of undead race the black shadow was.
They didn't expect that in this deserted cave, there were still undead hidden in the shadows, and judging by their timing of the sneak attack, they probably had a certain amount of wisdom.
At this moment, there is a one-horned white bone python in front of him to break through the black iron net at any time, and there is an unknown undead creature lurking in the darkness behind him, ready to sneak attack at any time.
Layton had a feeling that the black shadow had not disappeared, and a sense of crisis enveloped him, like a thorn in his back. It seems that the Soul Destroying Water has caused a lot of damage to the black shadow, and it directly locks those monstrous hatreds on him.
Layton shouted, "Everyone, be careful, the shadows are still hiding around. ”
He quickly walked up to Wanba, picked him up, and checked the situation.
Jima anxiously asked, "How is Wanba?"
Layton responded, "It's fine, just fainted." ”
Hima exhaled secretly and continued to manipulate the black iron net.
At this moment, a crisp cracking sound suddenly sounded, like a giant hammer slamming into everyone's hearts. Himma's eyes widened as she watched the crack in the black iron mesh quickly begin to expand.
Jima shouted anxiously: "I can't trap it, everyone be careful, the one-horned bone python is about to get out of trouble." ”
As soon as the words fell, the one-horned white bone python twisted its body frantically, and with a "boom", it broke free from the trap of the black iron net.
The shattering of the black iron net caused Hima to suffer a strong backlash, and the black iron net returned into the body of twenty Yin corpse spearmen and fell to the ground, and the soul fire in his eyes had been shattered and sprinkled all over the ground.
The one-horned white bone python raised its huge head and stared viciously at Jima in front of him, it was the human in front of him who almost caused it to suffer a heavy blow, and he decided to make the human in front of him pay a terrible price. The momentum of the whole body began to rise violently, and the single horn on the skull condensed into a crackling purple electricity, revealing a powerful coercion, and shot straight towards Hima.
Leighton turned to the rescue, controlling the few bone dogs to resist in front of him, shattering one after another like rotten wood, he jumped and pushed Hima away in time, but he couldn't escape, and was shrouded in a cloud of electricity.
In the purple electricity, Layton's body was shrouded in it, and it was impossible to see clearly.
In the blink of an eye, it was very fast, and when the lightning dissipated, the unyielding figure of a young man was revealed.
Hima stepped forward and asked eagerly, "Layton, are you alright?"
Layton coughed slightly, "It's fine. ”
In the Monument of the Undead, the White Bone Emperor said weakly: "Boy, this monarch consumes too much soul power, and you need to sleep for a while, and the next road depends on yourself." ”
It turned out that just as Leighton was about to be hit by the purple electricity, the White Bone Emperor in the Undead Tablet spent his soul power to form a soul shield, protecting his whole body and successfully avoiding this catastrophe.
Leighton was about to fight back, and just as he condensed a ball of Hellfire Bomb from his palm, he suddenly felt a vicious wind behind him. Without thinking that it must be the black shadow that went and returned, his body instinctively attacked the black shadow behind him with the dark fire bomb in his hand, and hit the black shadow's head very skillfully, causing a huge explosion. Due to the close distance, the loud roar stunned Layton directly.
The black shadow can be said to be seriously injured at this moment, and his hatred for Layton is even more monstrous, and his claws are like steel bars tightly grasping Layton and sweeping into the darkness, and soon disappears without a trace.
Hima was just about to support Layton, but the one-horned bone python attacked her again, making it impossible for her to escape and rescue, and could only watch as Layton was snatched away.
Looking at the white bone giant snake that was still wrapped around her in front of her eyes, Hima said angrily: "Bastard, I wanted to spare your life and become my undead slave, but now it seems that you are looking for death." ”
Hima began to chant incantations aloud, each spell character like a star that communicated between heaven and earth, and countless stars sprinkled down to illuminate the entire cavern.
"Starfall—"
With a wave of Himma's arm, a starfall shot straight out.
The one-horned white bone python was as frightened as if it had seen something terrifying, and wanted to flee backwards as quickly as possible. It's just that the speed of the light falling is very fast, and the snake bones all over the body are stained with countless starfall light, and the huge snake body instantly stands still, and the soul fire seems to be solidified and no longer beats.
After Jima used this trick, a bright red blood was left at the corner of her mouth, her face was pale, and she fell to the ground unable to move, and her anger was like a gossamer. She recalled that her grandfather had warned her that because her level was too low, this spell "Starfall Technique" should not be used unless it was a last resort, otherwise it would hurt its origin, but Layton was now robbed away and did not know whether he was alive or dead, so he could take care of so much.
As Jima fell, the white bone serpent also turned into a little star and drifted away with the wind, as if it had never appeared.
The black shadow held the unconscious Layton behind him and dragged him all the way to the depths of the cave, and the whole cave continued to stretch down diagonally to an unknown depth. In the bump of the cave, Layton was woken up, but his body was now weak and controlled by the black shadow, so he had to wait for his chance.
I don't know how long later, the black shadow just landed on a flat ground, put the captive in his hand aside, took two steps forward, and suddenly felt a strange sound behind him. Before it could turn back, another huge explosion exploded in its head.
This time, Layton finally learned well, and only released the Hellfire Bomb in his hand when he was far away.
"Howl-"
With a terrible scream, the shadow stumbled and disappeared into the darkness.
It was pitch black all around, and the crystal lamp that illuminated it was still there, and the surroundings were quiet. Suddenly, Layton sensed a small sound approaching him, footsteps, the sound of walking softly on a rock, gently, even a little sneaky.
Layton knew the Shadow was back. He pricked up his ears and carefully identified the direction of the footsteps, which sounded clearer in the extreme silence of the cavern, but he could not see where the danger was coming from.
However, he thought of a good way, summoning a whole hundred skeleton soldiers from the Bone Wasteland in front of him, and crowding the surroundings around him. Earlier, it was thought that first-order skeletons were useless, and now it seems that this is not the case.
At this time, Layton realized that this underground was terrifying, and a hundred skeleton soldiers were not even full, and there seemed to be no boundary in the darkness.
At this moment, one of the outermost skeletons detected a dark shadow passing by. In an instant, under Leighton's control, the team of skeleton soldiers surrounded the dark shadow, and various attacks followed.
Unfortunately, the Skeleton Soldier's level is too low to deal damage, and now only Layton's Wraith Bullet can deal effective damage to the Shadow.
With a terrible howl, the black shadow struggled to break out of the siege and disappeared as he exchanged injuries for injuries.
This blind man's way of catching rats made Leighton feel very aggrieved, but it was certain that the black shadow was seriously injured and his speed was greatly reduced. Facing the siege of first-order skeleton soldiers, you need to exchange injuries for injuries to escape, as long as you are cautious, you can definitely defeat.
Leighton manipulated the skeleton soldiers to center on him, standing in an impenetrable circle and spreading outward. He held his breath tightly, knowing that he would soon fall under siege again by the Skeleton Troop, and that he would not let it escape again.
Under the darkness of the ground, the echo of the footsteps of the skeleton soldiers was transmitted into the distance again and again, as if death was coming. After waiting for a long time, a skeleton soldier once again detected the black shadow, and the skeleton soldier team quickly surrounded it on the inside and outside of the three layers.
Every time Shadow kills a skeleton, the next skeleton will be added to make it up, and he will never be able to break out.
Layton caught up, and one by one, the Hellfire Bombs slammed into the shadows, and the rumbling sound kept ringing. Eventually, he noticed that the shadow no longer seemed to be resisting the breakout, so he carefully controlled one of the skeletons to attack. The shadow was found to be lying to the ground weakly, only the faint soul fire flickering, motionless despite the attack of the skeleton soldiers.
Layton finally relaxed, and said, "I'd like to see what kind of undead you are." He slowly paced forward to investigate.
