Chapter 165: Going to the Core
The group followed the soul point of light and continued to walk in the labyrinth.
The soul light ball that had been blessed by Xiao Chen's magic had become much tougher and more active.
It has an instinct to seek out more of its kind, devouring them together.
Xiao Chen and the others walked for less than ten minutes, and it absorbed several soul fragments floating in the air, most of which appeared on the corpses of the knocked down monsters. Next to these corpses, there are often wandering serpents and Templars who have fallen to the ground and died.
Xiao Chen would extract the souls in the bodies of these stinging snakes and combine them into the original soul light balls, making it stronger and stronger.
However, the further he went, the more worried Xiao Chen's face became. Luo Ling asked, "Do you think that the souls we have collected have exceeded the limit?"
"I have a general idea of how much Li Jia's soul has, but now these collected fragments alone have exceeded one-third of his total soul, but ......" Xiao Chen beckoned to the soul light group, and the soul light group flew to his side, "Are you Li Jia?"
Xiao Chen asked several times, but the light group could only understand his simple instructions, and almost did not respond to his question.
"Still not really conscious. Luo Ling observed the reaction of that light cluster, "In this way, it seems that there is only some energy left in these soul fragments of Li Jia, and there is nothing more." ”
"Sounds like a serious problem?" Chen Hansheng asked.
Xiao Chen held the ball of light in his hand, and the ball of light was like a pom-pom ball that glowed all over its body: "Do you know what it means that one-third of the soul loses consciousness in it? The soul is a very mysterious thing, and neither science nor magic has really explored its essence. But magic goes further than science in the study of the soul, at least allowing us to observe it. Here, with the help of magic, we can observe the embodied soul, which is like a container that contains a person's consciousness, personality, memories and emotions. If one-third of Li Jia's soul has become an empty matrix, it means that one-third of his personality, memories or emotions have disappeared. If we lose it again, I don't know what will be left in his body when we find it......"
Chen Hansheng said: "Will that be like an amnesiac person?"
"I think a better description would be The Walking Dead. Xiao Chen released the ball of light again and stepped forward, "Let's continue." ”
They had gone a long way into the labyrinth, and the scene around them had changed slightly, and although they still saw endless tunnels, these projected tunnels were more detailed than before. To use the metaphor in Lin Lichuan's game, it seems that the resolution of the surrounding world is getting higher and higher.
Walking through a crossing, there was a thick smell of blood mixed with the smell of earth, and with it, there was a louder and louder sound of slashing and explosions. Morlett, who was at the forefront, raised his hand again to get everyone ready for battle. Everyone cautiously walked forward for a while, and found that the front suddenly became wider, it was a place that could be called a small square, at least a field twenty or thirty meters square, and a group of temple priests and warriors were surrounded by numerous monsters and monster corpses. The strength of this Natural Temple team is very good, in the opinion of Xiao Chen and the others, at least one of them has reached the level of a great knight, and the remaining six people have two priests and four knights, all of whom have also reached a high-level level.
And the variety of monsters besieging these people has also increased, not only stinging snakes, but also alien insects and cockroaches*. These bugs, some in melee combat, others in range, were constantly killed by the knights and priests of the Temple of Nature, and then poured out of the surrounding tunnels. Those Templars were still fighting, but with Xiao Chen's dark vision, he could clearly see the fear and despair on their faces.
"Judging by the armor of these people, they should be the guards of some of the main priests. That Grand Knight was supposed to be the Templar Commander of that temple. Morlett said.
Luo Ling said: "Look at those soul fragments!"
When the monsters were destroyed by the Templars, the soul fragments would come out of the monster's body, so there were many shards scattered here. Xiao Chen hurriedly pushed the soul light ball in his hand outward, attracting these soul fragments over.
"Plus the fragments here are about to occupy two-thirds of the soul of the power, I'm afraid he ......" Luo Ling didn't continue.
"I'll have to find out until I know why, and I'll ask the knights. ”
Although the knights who were besieged were able to hold on under the attack of many monsters, they were already approaching the limit of their abilities, and the big knight who was the leader saw Xiao Chen and his party appear, and asked loudly, "Who are you, why did you appear in this labyrinth?"
Xiao Chen said, "Tell me, what happened to your battle with Li Jia, why are you fighting monsters here?"
"Tell me who you are!" said the great knight as he fought. He found that although the group suddenly appeared in the battlefield, the monsters around him turned a blind eye to them, which gave him a bad feeling.
"Now I'm asking. Xiao Chen said. As soon as he raised his hand, he shot a spirit arrow, hitting a knight who was fighting with the four alien insects, the spirit arrow of the great magician, it was simply impossible to resist the tired high-ranking knight, the knight immediately fell into dizziness and stiffness, and was pierced into the body by the sharp claws of the four insects.
This situation was seen by the Grand Knight, but he himself was still besieged by several particularly strong stinging snakes and cockroaches, and there was no way to save his companions: "Damn! The gods of nature will punish you heretics!"
"Your god is still lying on the corpse, what else can you do besides the empty threat?" Xiao Chen sneered. Seeing that the other party was unmoved, he began to apply buff magic to those bugs, and Luo Ling and Lin Lichuan also cooperated to apply various restrictions and curse spells to the Templar knights and priests.
Acceleration Spells, Berserk Spells, Giant Powers, and Healing Spells were applied to those bugs, doubling their combat power more than once, while at the same time, the Templars and Priests affected by Curse, Slowdown, and Weakness were greatly weakened, which reversed the strength of both sides.
The great knight was shocked to find that the opponents were all real masters, and there were still a few warrior-looking people in their team who did not move at all, but just looked at them with weapons.
