Chapter 43: The Source of the Evil Spirits
The farce in the shade of the trees deliberately avoided the dwarves. Therefore, when Adan entered the entrance of the ruins, he was praised by Sinclair.
"I thought the Warriors had to have a good amount of drink. Looks like I'm wrong. He gave him a crossbow arrow and two small balls, "This crossbow can be used to attract the attention of the golem, and these two small balls are also very valuable magic items, when thrown out, they can give birth to ground thorns on the ground." If the situation is critical, you can use them. ”
"Thank you. Adan thrust his sword back into its scabbard and pinned the ball to his belt. Turning around and glancing at the crowd, he walked into the passage with his crossbow in hand.
"Brother, be careful!" Ora's voice came from behind him.
Adan walked ahead, the drone followed him, and others could see his every move from above. Although he had been blessed by Luo Ling with the acceleration technique, he walked very slowly, much slower than Matthew and the others.
After walking for a while, he finally came to the golem standing in the doorway. Adan hesitated, but raised his crossbow arrow and aimed it at the golem's body, pulling the trigger.
"When. ”
Only the arrows and the golem's back crashed into each other, making a clear sound. The golem's body made a grinding sound of the joints, and it spun around with a creaking sound.
Not only this one, but all the other golems in the vicinity turned their heads to look, but Adan was hiding in a good position, and only the outermost golem could see him.
The golem's head was an inverted triangle, and its long, narrow eyes glowed light blue. When it saw Adam, it didn't hesitate to move, and directly raised the arm holding the long knife and rushed towards him in great stride.
Adan turned and ran, drawing the long sword at his waist. His speed was naturally above the Golem, and after running a few steps, he was relieved, because only one Golem could be heard from the sound of footsteps. He slowed down and hoisted the golem forward.
It seems that as long as you don't get directly seen by the golem, you won't be targeted.
When he ran to the door, he even had time to turn around to take a look at the Golem, and then run out of the wall through the gap he had left beforehand.
The golem rushed to the entrance of the cave and froze, as if it was startled by the crowd waiting in front of it, or maybe it was retargeting its target.
However, the people who were waiting for the rabbit would not give it a chance, and for a moment the guns rang out, four or five shells, and more than a dozen bullets hit it, and it immediately fell to the ground.
One cannonball broke the golem's thigh, and another smashed half of his head. The golem struggled on the ground a few times to get back to its feet, when the dwarf on the hillside behind the entrance began to throw stones at its head, and when seven or eight stones fell, the golem would not move.
When the guns stopped, Adan jumped into the wall from the side, walked around the golem, kicked it a few times, and when the golem did not respond, he announced loudly, "This golem has been killed." The dwarves applauded and cheered.

Luo Ling and Elaine did not participate in the siege just now, but were carefully observing all this.
"Do you see the energy distribution of the golem?" Luo Ling asked Elaina.
"Ling, your conjecture is right, there is an evil spirit living in the head of the golem. Elaine said.
"It seems that the so-called evil spirit is the operating system, or controller, of the golem. Luo Ling's teeth lightly clasped her lips, squinting her eyes slightly, whenever she was like this, she was always thinking about something.
Village Chief Yasin had a bit of a surprise on his face: "The evil spirits are actually from this source, no wonder they can compete with us for control of the body, that is, they manipulate us as flesh and blood golems." And so it was...... This place is a curse. ”
Treating flesh and blood as a golem? Luo Ling naturally knew that the driving principle of the golem was completely different from that of a human or a dwarf's body, so she always felt that something was wrong in her heart.
"It's coming out. You see it's right next to Adam. ”
The crowd followed Elaina's finger and saw a nearly transparent white object floating out of the golem's head, which looked in the air like an octopus swimming in the sea. It avoided Adam, who was close at hand, and quickly drifted towards the dwarven position. At this time, standing at the front of the position was Sinclair, who was facing away from the evil spirit and directing the gunners to clean the chamber.
"Sinclair, look at your head!" Arsin roared.
Sinclair looked up and saw something very faint and faint coming towards him. He hurriedly poured his fighting energy into the tong bar and threw it at the evil spirit.
The evil spirit was split in half by a stick with a fighting spirit, and each of them was annihilated in the air.
"Luckily, if we let it possess Sinclair, we'll be in big trouble. Yasin said.
"Evil spirits don't have the ability to possess mid-tier warriors, right?" said Elaina.
"You can't take that risk. After all, this is a monster created by the Black Dragon Empire. We need to be prepared to be more careful. Yasin commanded him to go down and pick out a few dwarves who were good at throwing axes, so that they were ready to snipe at the evil spirits that ran out.
——————————————————
Adan began to do the same again, luring out five golems near the door.
He chooses the right angle every time he goes so that he doesn't fall into the sight of other golems when he attacks. Three golems were singled out to be destroyed, and on another occasion, he brought in two golems, but they were unable to escape the double interference of the stone walls and vines, and finally died under the cannon.
During the operation, Adan also proved one thing, the golems that stood by the wall were indeed damaged. There will be no reaction to his provocations.
Whether it is dwarves or humans, morale is gradually rising. As everyone cooperates more and more, after the golem is lured out, the speed of being destroyed is getting faster and faster.
Even the evil spirits can't make any waves, and if they appear, they will be discovered by Elaina. Unpossessed spirits are vulnerable and die from attacks of vindictive energy or magic.
In order to avoid the backlash of magic, Luo Ling has not joined the battle, giving her a chance to observe these golems and evil spirits carefully. When she saw another evil spirit breaking into the dwarven position being scattered by a mid-level warrior with an axe, she said to Elaina, "I've found some patterns. ”
"What?"
"All these evil spirits are trying to take possession of the dwarves' bodies. Luo Ling stretched out her hand and pointed a few directions, which were all the places where the evil spirits were finally destroyed.
"That's true, they were all wiped out in the dwarven camp in the end, but what does that mean?" Elaina also recalled the movements of the evil spirits, who pounced on the dwarves as soon as they broke away from the golems, neither rushing at the humans nor sneaking away. Instead, he put on a look of not occupying the dwarves and swore not to give up.
"In the records of the elves, is there any claim that the mental strength of dwarves is weaker than that of humans?"
Elaina laughed, "Although I admire you humans. But I also have to admit that dwarves and elves, like elves, are both gifted and powerful races. Dwarves are known for their strong-willed and stubborn minds, and are only stronger than humans in resisting spiritual magic. ”
"Then it's strange, why are they trying to occupy the bodies of dwarves?"
"Maybe it's because we didn't have the weaker ones this time. Elaine said.
"There must be a premise for this, that is, the evil spirit can distinguish the strength of the subject's mental strength. But this is not the case, the first evil spirit wants to possess Sinclair, which is the closest to it, and later there are also evil spirits who want to possess other mid-level warriors. And these people are surrounded by ordinary dwarves whose spiritual power is far weaker than them, if the evil spirit can distinguish the strength of the opponent, it should not make such a move to die. In another instance, the previous evil spirit possessed Sinclair's son Babick, who was also a low-level warrior, which was also not a good choice. ”
"So you think that the evil spirits can't tell the strength of the opponent, and just picks the target randomly?"
