Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Corpse

Katrina made up her mind, "I'm a burden to you, having me will only make your situation harder, it's time for me to contribute", and before her teammates could speak, she turned and ran outside.

"Wait!" Tarrant shouted to stop, and a thought flashed through his mind just now, "I have a way!"

The mage stopped and looked at him hesitantly, "What way?"

"With the Stone Guardian, I activate the Stone Guardian's energy and place it far away, its energy may be able to attract the attention of the Shadow Eater!"

The mage walked back confused, "Can it be done?"

"That's the way it can be," Rex agreed, "...... Quick"

Taran lowered his head and began to take off the Stone Guardian, "Kitty, you have to hold on, we will save you!"

Kitty does not react to the outside world and is in a deep coma, her limbs cold.

Tarrant picked up the armor, "I'll put the armor in the doorway, and when the energy is activated, I'll wave the torch once the Shadow Eater appears, and you can cast the spell immediately." ”

Rex blinked, he was saving his body, ready to cast a quick spell.

Tarrant picked up the armor, put the torch in his mouth and bit it, and ran towards the gate, the heat of the torch made his eyes black, I don't know if it was because Kitty or the torch, tears couldn't stop welling up from the corners of his eyes, and they dripped down his chin along his cheeks, Tarrant didn't care about this, and ran desperately forward, it was a short road, but I don't know why, Tarrant recalled a lot of things, Mara's tear-stained smile, the face of the Great Druid, and Ryan, Adrian, At that moment, he seemed to look back on his life and re-examine the meaning of life.

The gate appeared, Tarrant stopped, put down his armor, looked back at the priest, there was a shake of the torch, ready, he lowered his head and grabbed the armor, silently activated the energy of the stone guard, and the pale blue luster shone out of the metal.

Waiting for the Shadow Eater to appear, Tarrant stared nervously at the ground, and suddenly, he heard the sound of a spell casting, it was...... Rex's voice, he looked up at the priest, he had begun to cast spells!

"What are you doing!" Tarrant shouted, it was clear that Rex's current fitness was a burden in this situation, and he was going to sacrifice himself for Kitty, damn bastard!

The orb of energy over there has taken shape, and as long as the Shadow Eater doesn't appear, it's too late...... Tarrant looked at the Stone Guardian again, and there were several more frantically moving black shadows on the ground around the armor, rushing next to the shadow of the Stone Guardian, they were decided!

Rex poured the ball of energy in his palm into Kitty's body, casting a spell that made him fall to the side, seemingly ...... Succeeded!, Tarrant ran towards the team. Katrina picked up the druid, and when Tarrant ran to his side, Kitty's back wound had healed quickly, leaving only a light red bruise, and she slowly opened her eyes, "Tarrant ......"

Tarrant put on a relaxed smile, "Kitty, you're alright", he picked up the priest again, and whispered a rebuke, "You were too risky just now! If the Shadow Eater hadn't been attracted to the Stone Guardian, you would have died here!"

Rex smiled indifferently, "If you die here...... Your chances of survival...... It's going to be bigger. ”

"We're a team! can't let anyone get anything wrong!" Tarrant grabbed Rex by the right arm and lifted him up, "Let's go, let's go find another exit." ”

"I'm afraid here...... There's no other exit......" Rex spat out the words intermittently.

He's not a guy who gives up lightly, and the reason why he says this is to imply that Tarrant should leave him, and Tarrant grabbed his arm harder, "Don't say it, let's go, Katrina, you hold Kitty." ”

"Yes", the mage struggled to grab Kitty's arm and help her get to her feet.

After Tarrant retrieved the Stone Guardian, the four of them supported each other and walked towards the right side of the temple under the guidance of two torches.

"There shouldn't be any skeleton soldiers, right?" asked Katrina quietly in the back.

"I can't tell...... Those things are not scary, as long as there are no bone golems", Tarrant was only worried about the appearance of that strong dead thing, the situation of the team was difficult to deal with, the mage could not cast spells, he had to face them alone.

A wide aisle appeared on the right side of the temple, with wavy broken patterns faintly visible on the lower edge of the walls, and the floor covered with a layer of black ash, which appeared to have been burned.

The Lost Temple may have suffered a catastrophe thousands of years ago, so the temple hall was ransacked, nothing was seen, only a huge statue that could not be moved, and the attendants of the temple were partly in the forest in the fog at that moment, and the other part became the undead squires.

Tarrant stopped in front of him, the firelight shining forward.

"What's wrong?" Catrina poked her head out behind her and saw a figure sitting on the ground at the front of the team, not the Shadow Eater, but a concrete person, covered by a caped cloak, with a half-handled katana on the right side, motionless in the face of Tarrant's fire.

It was too strange for a person to appear at this time, Tarrant cautiously kept his distance, waiting for the other person to make the first move, and after about a minute, the person was still sitting on the ground, without any slight movement, not even the sound of breathing.

Tarrant lowered Rex to the wall, drew his greatsword, and took a small step forward.

"Be careful," Catrina warned, reminding her that she didn't want to see Tarrant knocked out again.

Tarrant's greatsword slowly stretched out towards the man's katana, and there was no response, he touched it lightly, and the katana rolled out of the cloak, the blade emitting a blue glow.

"Dead man," Tarrant said to his teammates, "seems to be an adventurer who came here alone", the tip of his sword reaching into the cape of his cloak and slowly flipped up, revealing a withered yellow skull, and a few dusty hairs falling down the hat to the ground, "Dead for a while." ”

Rex coughed, "Courageous." ”

Coming to this temple full of murderous machines alone, it is indeed not the work of ordinary people, Tarrant picked up the katana on the ground, wiped off the thick layer of ash on it, the blue light of the blade is even worse, it has magical power, its blade has not been tired with the death of its master, it still flashes with a sharp edge, the handle is wrapped with embroidered red silk thread, a magic knife of upper quality, Tarrant asked the mage, "Do you have a discernment technique?"

"No, I didn't think I'd use this spell," Catrina replied confidently.

Then it was normal to think, Tarrant didn't mean to blame, he carefully put away the katana, and speculated: "He can see through the hallucinations at the door, and he must have discovered how to deal with the Shadow Eater and the Fog Void, otherwise a person can't get in." ”

Kitty asked, "Could it be the owner of the cabin in the woods, the Ranger?"

The remains were unarmoured, and the weapon was a katana common among rangers, which is highly likely, and Tarrant gave the remains a standard military salute, "I beg your pardon for being disrespectful," and he walked over to the remains and untied his cloak.

The skull of the corpse lost the support of the collar of the cloak, and fell "suddenly" and rolled to the side on the armor of Tarrant's arm, which was too rude, and Tarrant quickly picked up the skull and put it on the right hand of the corpse.

Inside the cloak was a piece of leather armor, the primary color of which was no longer visible due to the thick dust, and it showed signs of gnawing everywhere, left by the trampling of rats and other animals, and through the holes in these gnaws, the ribs of the deceased could be seen.

Tarrant briefly examined the various parts of the bones, there were no signs of injury in the upper limbs, but the right leg was missing, the wound was relatively flat, it should have been cut off by a sharp weapon, the weapons of those skeleton soldiers were already rusty, and it was impossible to do this, the bone golem, maybe ...... But since this ranger can enter the temple alone, it is reasonable that he will not take the bone golem into his eyes, and Tarrant secretly feels that there may be more powerful enemies lurking in the temple.

Suddenly, a flash of fire flashed horizontally in the passage ahead, and the brief light was enough for everyone to see clearly in the passage ahead, and a bone golem was bending towards the team!

"The Bone Golem who casts the spell?!" Catrina dragged Kitty's body back, her tone stunned.

The last thing Tarrant wanted happened again, this kind of bad luck was not the first time, he helped Rex backwards, "Impossible, they are already unconscious!"

The darkness of the passage ahead was suddenly illuminated by a flash of lightning, and blue lightning bolts were linked from both sides of the wall, burning the legs of the bone golems passing through the passage into light smoke, and the golems continued to approach the team under the electric shock.

A deadly trap was planted on the floor ahead, and Tarrant instantly understood the cause of the ranger's death, and he accidentally triggered the trap in the passage, and his lower leg was cut off, and he died here after losing too much blood. If it weren't for the Bone Golem appearing in time, the four members of their team would have stepped into the mechanism and would have died.

The golem stepped forward numbly, a sharp blade flying out of the wall and slicing into its metaphysal bones, knocking down a few pieces of bone armor, and it stepped out of the trap and walked over to the Ranger corpse.

Tarrant put down Rex, "You take care of yourselves, don't cast spell aid, I'll deal with it!" Although he said it very firmly, in fact, he didn't know the bottom of his heart, the passage was too small to dodge with all his strength, his teammates were lying behind him, and he couldn't retreat, a tough battle.

The golem tried to stand up, but its skull hit the dust that fell on the passage, and it couldn't stand up straight at its current height, and a wide iron sword in its right hand swayed back and forth, looking for the prey in front of it.

Tarrant pulled out his giant sword and swung it sideways in front of him, "Oops!" He suddenly screamed in his heart, the giant sword in his hand was full of cracks at some point, and there were a few marks on the edge of the sword, if it was not repaired, it would immediately turn into scrap metal, and it was undoubtedly boring to use this kind of sword to fight the bone golem, Tarrant threw away the giant sword and pulled out the katana.

The golem's greatsword had been swung to slash, and Tarrant held the knife to meet it, and the two iron weapons let out a sonorous sound, flashing a spark of fire, and the power of the golem at the contact point was surging forward, causing Tarrant to twist his steps and the torch to fly behind him.

The strength of the human cannot fight with it, Tarrant held the knife in both hands, leaned down and rushed towards the golem's leg, and could only rely on the method just now to cut off the leg first.

The Bone Golem Greatsword retracted and swept again, the sweep in the passage was categorically impossible to dodge, and it seemed to understand the opponent's situation.

Resisting this blow first, Tarrant stopped, held the knife with all his strength, and met the blade of the iron sword, and with a loud "bell", the iron sword head slashed across Tarrant's body and slashed into the wall behind him.

"Tarrant!" Catrina screamed, fainting to the ground.
