"Kitty, what the hell is going to happen to those people?" Tarrant waved his torches around, and the whole hall seemed to be just the four of them, but the "rustling" sound was clearly coming from a certain part of the temple, which was particularly unsettling.

"We call that thing the Shadow Eater, the shadow that moves on the ground, and I've just heard it described it, and I don't know how to explain it. ”

Shadow, that is, will cast a shadow on the ground, Tarrant's torch shines on the ground, and no shadow is found, but he finds something else, a trace.

The dusty ground was dotted with tiny friction marks, the width of which resembled rat-like foot bones, but the length was obviously not the same, and he pointed to the ground, "Is this the kind of thing?"

Kitty crouched down and blew lightly, the dust being blown up, "The traces are new, there are creatures roaming here. ”

"Is that the thing you described?" said Tarrant.

Kitty measured the length of the imprint with her index finger, "No, its footprints are about the same length as a human, there is no musculature on the soles of its feet, it may be claw walking, look at the walking distance", she estimated the distance between the two adjacent imprints, "It's short, similar to the steps of a dwarf, there are no burning marks nearby, it can see at night." ”

It was supposed to be some kind of nocturnal creature, maybe a mutated giant rat, "Whatever it is, as long as it's not the shadow you say, my sword can repel it!" Tarrant stepped forward.

The hall of the temple was large, the light of the two torches was very small, and there were no decorations or ornaments in the area where the four people were standing, and after Tarrant took the lead and walked a dozen steps, a sculpture appeared in front of him.

The sculpture is a huge figure, the base alone occupies a dozen square meters, only its standing legs can be seen by the light of the fire, it is a robe, and then it is shrouded in darkness, and it is impossible to see the head and posture of the giant, the team walked around the base, there are no inscriptions and other signs, it is impossible to tell which god it is, there are obvious weapon marks on the carving, it seems that it has been destroyed.

The uneasy rustle gradually became louder, and it sounded like the team was getting closer to the source of the sound.

Katrina hugged Kitty from behind, revealing half of her head, "Is it footsteps?"

"I'll probe", Rex chanted the spell, the white energy dispersed, and after a few seconds, the magic fed back to consciousness, "Defensive battle!" His face was stern, "The temple guards are here!"

Tarrant drew his sword, "Back to the sculpture, I'll defend, you cast spells!"

The "rustle" approaches, and the team retreats to the statue, Rex chants a blessing loudly, and Kitty casts a power-up on Tarrant.

A thin white bone entered the range of the firelight, the leg bones of the humanoid, and then, the whole skeleton slowly emerged from the darkness, a skeleton of a humanoid! Its metacarpals grasped a long sword embroidered black, a cracked helmet was crooked on its head, and its two eyeholes were empty in front of the team, and it staggered forward, and there was a "rustle" sound between the skeletons of its body.

"Skeleton !!," Catrina cried out, prepared but still surprised to see the living dead.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it" , The body of this undead creature has long since died, and the soul stubbornly escaped the extradition of Simiti Li, and left to control the decaying body of the corpse, the musculature of the previous life has returned to nature with the passage of time, only a skeleton remains, Tarrant is confident that he can defeat them, he has fought this life form in the cemetery, the skeleton that makes up the skeleton soldier's body is very fragile, Tarrant can solve it with a single blow, the weapons in their hands have been rusted and deformed, they have lost their sharpness and magic, and they cannot pose a threat to the armor.

More skeletons entered the range of the firelight, long swords, short axes, and wooden staff were raised high, layered on top of each other, it was difficult to estimate the specific number, Tarrant took a step back, no matter how small the attack was condensed, it was not easy to deal with, "Rex, I still assist you." ”

A large number of skeleton soldiers require an undead nemesis to complete, and the priest's professional abilities allow them to gain supernormal abilities when fighting the undead, using their bodies as energy mediums, chanting the grace of the Lord God through guò, and transcending the souls of the dead.

"I hope these bones are not blessed by the gods of the temple", Rex put his hands forward, palms down, and chanted aloud: In the name of the goddess of the storm, I will make the soul......s of the dead scattered!

The skeleton soldier slowly advanced with the black sword, and the excessive energy stimulated bursts of white smoke all over its body, and with a "bang", the skeleton of the skeleton soldier walking in the front shattered and shattered into a pile on the ground, and the iron sword and helmet made a crisp landing sound.

It seems that they are not protected by the god of the temple, and they have no resistance to transcendence, and the battle will soon be over.

The skeleton soldiers on the periphery then gathered towards the squad, and as the excess energy spread, there were "bang" and "bang" sounds one after another, and the standing skeletons turned into broken bones one after another.

With Rex as the center, a shield energy ring of undead creatures was formed, and once the bone soldiers entered, they were immediately bombarded by divine grace and scattered, and the excess energy in the priest's hands continued to accumulate, as long as the caster did not stop chanting, the excess range would spread out and cover the temple hall, so that the dead creatures would die completely.

More and more white bones crumbled in front of everyone, and in just a few minutes, a circle of white bones was piled up around the giant statue, and dozens of iron tools were mixed in it, forming a low and strange bone wall.

There were still a number of skeletons slowly approaching, having lost their instincts for fear and only remaining to destroy the intruders of the temple. This attack poses no real threat, it only increases Rex's magical energy, and as the number of over-the-top undead increases, his pre-god grants him even greater super-energy.

A dark shadow crept through the bone wall.

"It's them!" exclaimed Kitty.

"What's going on?" Tarrant saw the black shadow that flashed just now, his eyes swept over every place vigilantly, and he didn't find any creatures with a similar speed just now, and now the only light source in the temple was two torches, to cause a projection meant that the mysterious creature was in the distance between the ground and the torches, but Tarrant didn't find anything, although his reflexes were not top-notch, and he was not so sluggish that a creature ran in front of him without noticing!

"Look at the ground!" Catrina cried out in alarm, pointing to Rex's shadow.

Tarrant followed her direction, and two shadows appeared next to Rex! one was projected to the ground by a torch, and the upright shadow was making a superordinate movement, while the other was pounced on the supernatural shadow and opened its mouth to bite vigorously!

Tarrant's first thought flashed, the body of this legendary mysterious creature could not be seen with the naked eye, only cast a shadow, he swung his sword at Rex's side, the giant sword slashed through the air, and nothing attached to Rex!

This scene is so horrible and incredible, if you don't witness it, you won't believe it, even if you hear it in the story!Tarrant stepped aside in amazement, not knowing how to help the priest.

"Stop the excess!" Kitty suddenly shouted to stop.

It would be unwise to stop the excesses now, the skeletons were stepping on the bone wall to surround the squad, once they lost this barrier, an otherwise easy battle would be extremely difficult, but Rex stopped the excess, his brows furrowed, his face pale, and he leaned back against the base of the sculpture, looking like his body was greatly damaged.

The excess energy dissipated, and the skeleton soldiers entered the attack range, a long sword swung towards Tarrant, and the wooden staff and axes on both sides also struck, and they launched a slow and focused attack at the pace of walking.

Tarrant lowered his head to dodge the long sword, the weapon in his hand swept, and the three skeletons in front of him shattered into several pieces together, and he shouted for help: "Katrina, spell!"

"Can't cast spells!" Kitty stopped again, "Don't use magic items!"

In this way, Rex's flail cannot be used, the energy of the stone guardian cannot be stimulated, and the combat effectiveness of the squad is greatly limited, although I don't understand why Kitty said this, but there must be a reasonable reason, Tarrant concentrates on the battle, the giant sword slashes back and forth, and the skeleton soldiers fall one layer and then rush to another, although they do not constitute damage, but the "rustle" sound behind makes Tarrant turn his head worriedly, they have surrounded from behind, and the mage and priest need protection.

With a wild roar, Kitty's body skyrocketed, short brown hair grew out of her body, and her arm muscles expanded several times, instantly turning into a tall brown bear, which roared in the sky, and several skeletons were struck left and right by the bear's paws, squeezed into pieces.

With Kitty's protection, skeleton soldiers weren't a problem, Tarrant slashed with all his heart, the undead surged up defenselessly to receive the fatal blow, and the rusty iron occasionally landed on the stone defenders with a crisp sound.

Soon, the ground was covered with a thick layer of white bones, and Tarrant swung his greatsword at the last two skeletons in front of him, and under his heavy blow, the two skeletons were split diagonally into several pieces and scattered on the ground.

The battle behind him was over, and the brown bear easily shattered all the skeletons.

Tarrant put away his sword and ran towards Rex who fell to the ground, "How is he?"

Katrina guarded him, "No injuries, but weak, I don't understand what is going on." ”

"Kitty, what is that legend, what is the black shadow just now?"

The brown bear lowered its head and moved slowly, the hair on its body gradually faded and its body returned to its original state, "Legend has it that after the bodies of those passers-by are swallowed by the fog, the shadows will stay in place and wait for other passers-by to pass by, and they will transmit energy through the shadows of the living, and once the shadows are touched by them, their physical strength will quickly decrease and weaken, and if the touch is too long, the whole person will be paralyzed." ”

"The shadow stays where it is!?" Tarrant couldn't believe that there was such a creature in the world, only shadows, and that kind of life form didn't seem to be something that humans could overcome.

"If so, it is confirmed that the existence of the negative material realm is that they are not dead, but exist in a space parallel to the main material realm. Katrina affirmed the Shadow Eater's existence.

Tarrant helped Rex up, his face was dead, his lips were dry, and he was lying on all fours, "Rex, are you still conscious?"

The priest's fingertips moved reflexively, and he said slightly, "I'm fine," and he tried to raise his arm, but the armor on his body was too heavy for him to do.

"Perhaps, it's the effect of negative energy", Catrina had heard of the principle of positive and negative energy interaction when she was in graduate school, but that was only a preliminary idea, no one confirmed it, she speculated, "The damage caused by those shadows to the human body is a negative physical harm, as long as we ...... Attacking Rex with magic will heal your current weakened state. ”
