Chapter 17: Falling into a Trap
Arthur: They walked out of the mine about five hundred meters away, and the black fog around them completely dissipated.
Only a large black mist a hundred meters away in front of them led the way, and those dark mages still didn't want to show their faces.
The black jackal only hesitated a little before leading someone to follow, and kept a distance of about 100 meters from Arthur.
The dark mage led the way not out of the valley, but through two low hills deep in the valley.
By this time, it was already dark and he couldn't see his surroundings at all, and Arthur had to take out a magic lamp from his bracelet to light the way. The Blood Skull behind them also lit torches, forming a flaming serpent on the mountain road.
A ghostly glow lit up in the black mist and continued to guide the way. Arthur and the others followed the ghost fire forward on the mountain road for more than an hour, and the ghost fire suddenly stopped.
Just when Arthur was surprised, a black mist suddenly surged around him, and the black mist spread extremely quickly.
A short necromantic warrior armed with a scythe suddenly appeared in front of Arthur and them, and just as Arthur was about to fight, the necromantic warrior made a very humane gesture of beckoning, signaling Arthur to follow him.
Arthur was completely stunned, was this a necromancer? Shouldn't the necromancer swarm at the sight of a living creature?
The Necro Warrior floated forward a few meters, and seeing that Arthur was still standing still, he waved to him again.
Arthur was convinced this time that the necromancy was for Arthur to follow it.
The black jackal also sensed the abnormality around him at this time, and yelled ahead, "Is this how the Zenaia family entertains guests?"
No one answered the black jackal, and the black fog around him became thicker and thicker, and Arthur in front of him actually moved forward again.
"We may have been deceived by those dark mages, let's get out first!" The black jackal reacted immediately, and at this point he was no longer obsessed with catching Arthur and them first.
As the Blood Skull was about to retreat, the surrounding black fog began to roll violently, and an eerie whistling sound sounded in the black mist, and one after another necromancers appeared in the black mist.
People have a natural fear of dead creatures, and many members of the Blood Skull are already shaking uncontrollably.
The screams were first heard at the end of the group, and the necromancers began to attack.
The Blood Skull People were surprised to find that these necromancers were not at all those primary necromancers whose bodies were fragile, their attack methods could only pounce, and their fighting qi could be easily shattered, and many of them turned out to be intermediate war spirits with condensed bodies. A sword pierced into the body of the necromancer and was unable to kill it with one blow, but was instead bitten by the necromancer in the neck, and the qi, blood, and spirit on his body were instantly lost, and he soon turned into a dry corpse.
The black jackal realized that he had jumped into the trap and yelled, "Get out!"
When the black jackal turned and rushed out, thick dark tentacles stretched out from the black mist around him and wrapped around him.
The long knife in the black jackal's hand waved, slashing out a series of long blades, cutting off the dark tentacles at the root, and rushing forward with all his might.
It's just that the dark tentacles emerge endlessly, and as soon as they cut off a pile, a new one pokes out.
That's where the dark mage gets tough, and with the cover of the black mist, you can't fight back without showing up close. Moreover, these tentacles are only responsible for entangling the black jackals and their few warriors at the war school level, but the undead spirits that continue to pour out are wantonly harvesting the lives of their own men.
The qi and blood of the warrior and the spirit of the mage are a great supplement for the promotion of the necromancer, and absorbing the qi and blood of a warrior can make a junior necromancer directly advance to an intermediate war spirit.
"These bastard dark mages are actually cultivating necromancers with their own men!" The black jackal roared angrily, and the fighting spirit on the knife skyrocketed, splitting the black mist seven or eight meters long with a single sword, and the intermediate war spirits who were accidentally caught in the black jackal's sword also dissipated in an instant.
"Commander, we are blocked and can't rush out!" came a desperate shout at the end of the team.
The black jackal's long knife swung continuously, struggling to get rid of the entanglement of the dark tentacles, and rushed to the place where a large number of his subordinates gathered, and a black wall appeared in front of him, and the black mist on the wall was flowing, like a slightly jumping flame.
"Seventh-level dark magic 'Dark Flame Wall'! These dark magicians want to trap everyone!"
"Look at me, spin the golden wheel!" Elva, who was beside the black jackal, made a move, and a huge roulette wheel that spun rapidly ran into the dark flame wall, smashing a gap three or four meters wide in the black wall.
The Blood Skull people swarmed towards the gap, but they were saddened to find that they couldn't rush to the gap, and the entire wall of dark flames was actually moving backwards. The gap that had been blasted open by Elva was also repaired quickly, and in just two or three seconds the entire wall was restored to its original position.
Franks made the same attempt after Elva, blasting the wall down with a single blow of his fighting spirit, but his men didn't have time to use the time to rush out.
The black jackal understood that a few of them might be able to stand out, but none of these people under them could take them away.
The black jackal still wanted to make one last attempt, and shouted at the black mist: "This time our Blood Skull Regiment has been planted, and we don't want those few people." Just let my brothers out, and we'll pay the ransom!"
Until this time, the black jackals had thought that the dark mages had come to save Arthur from them. What he didn't know was that Arthur and the others were facing the same attack, but not as violently as they were.
In front of Arthur and them there was also a wall of dark flames blocking the way, and because of the dark perception, Arthur had sensed that they were trapped in a huge magic circle. Because of the hint of the necromantic warrior, their location was already on the edge of the magic circle.
At this time, Joan had already supported the fifth-level magic "Rotating Fire Shield", and the restraint of fire magic on dark magic was only that of light magic, and with the protection of these fire shields, neither the necromancer nor the dark tentacles could get close for the time being.
The previous war spirit vanished after prompting them to pass through the wall of dark flames.
"A few dozen meters behind this dark flame wall is the edge of the black mist, we must rush out in one go the moment we break the flame wall, otherwise we will be trapped again. "Arthur still knows a little bit about the Dark Flame Wall.
"I can't fly in the air yet, but it's okay to sprint in a short volley. Spence said.
"Toruล has to be handed over to you, too. โ
"No problem. Spence picked up the dwarf and clamped it under his armpit.
Arthur gives Joan his flying ring because he has gliding boots, and then signals him to get started.
As soon as Joan shook his hand, a fire dragon pounced on the dark flame wall, and the three of them rushed out quickly after the fire dragon.
