Chapter 129: Howling
The mist came with the wind, and the mage first cast the "Light Spell", but before the fire appeared, it was swallowed up by the mist, leaving only a touch of dusk. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoIf there is no fog, this level of light is enough for people with "dim vision" to see things within five or six feet, but the fog not only obscures the light, but also cuts off everyone's vision and hearing......
Fortunately, Sauron and the others are all natives of the fog world, not that they are born with a certain resistance to fog, but they grew up in such a world and must be trained to explore things in the fog. So, overall, the team of four in front was able to see farther than the few in the back - this was one of the reasons why they dared to swagger through the fog and hurry to Grey Mist City just now.
Of course, if they knew that there were fog demons hidden in the gray fog here, it is estimated that they might not have such courage.
But fortunately, Zhang Lu and Feng bumped into the fog demon and reported it to Sauron, so that everyone had a certain psychological preparation. When the wind came, the warrior instinctively jumped to his feet, took two steps forward, and sheltered Sauron, and when the fog fell down, he immediately sensed that something special was coming with the fog, so he took the great sword in both hands and slashed it forward.
The sword wind dispelled part of the fog, and a vague black shadow revealed its figure. Was it really a fog demon? The warrior was only slightly startled when he saw that something seemed to be rolling and wriggling on the head of the black shadow, and then let out a terrifying long roar—
"Brand~~"
Zhang Lu had encountered the howling of the fog demon twice, but he couldn't distinguish the specific sound, this was because the first time he used the talisman to basically eliminate the effect of the fog, so that the whistling sound rushed straight to his mind, and there was no time to distinguish it; the second time he simply closed his five senses, even if the other party said a long commentary in his ear, he couldn't hear it at all......
The warrior had just used his sword qi to weaken the mist, so although the fog demon's howl was heard, it was slightly weaker than the direct spiritual attack, and he felt his mind dizzy slightly. It is also ridiculous to say that the fog demon often appears with the fog, but the fog itself has the function of weakening or even isolating sound waves, making its whistling sound difficult to use as a weapon to hurt the enemy. If there is no fog to isolate it, it is estimated that this howling can shake the warrior half to death, maybe the heart will be lost, and the fog demon will take advantage of the void and enter the soul, of course, the premise is that the fog demon must leave the fog first......
The warrior's movements had barely been slowed by the roar, and in only half a breath, the fog demon had already approached, revealing its evil face in the warrior's sight—towering eyebrows, gray eyes, and four rolled tentacles...... The warrior didn't have time to withdraw his two-handed broadsword, so he had to let go of his left hand, and at the same time, his left shoulder was raised, and he barely blocked the fog demon's attack with the shield he carried. But he immediately felt a chilly aura pass from his shield, seeping down his shoulders and towards his heart......
Suddenly, a faint but extremely pious chanting voice pierced through the mist behind him like a sharp sword, and then a faint glow centered on a scepter radiated outward in an instant, until it was pulled into a halo more than two feet in diameter, and then fell silent. The mist seemed to be affected by the aura, and it immediately faded a little—as could be seen from the sudden brightening of the light on the mage's fingertips.
In the fog just now, Zhang Lu's group instinctively realized that the attack must come from the front, so they first approached each other, and then cautiously stepped forward together to support, so the glow basically shrouded the four of them - only Li Yanchao and Tang Liyu each had half of their bodies exposed. Zhang Lu sensed the aura fluctuations brought by the glow, and said in his heart What kind of magic is this? There is really such a thing as magic in this world...... I don't know if the so-called god of order, Sang, the god of observation, and what else is the god of labor, Xia, and the goddess of fertility, Su, really exist?
Are those immortals in the super-three-dimensional world, or are they just the top three-dimensional creatures in this world—demigods according to D&D's setting? Is the priest's magic power really from them?
He opened his body and mind to absorb this magic technique, and he felt that the isolation of the fog from the senses was instantly weakened, and the effect was better than shooting two "Pure Heart Talismans" in a row—well, in this world, unless it is inevitable, I will never use a spell, so as not to be laughed at; Lao Tzu is an ordinary warrior who uses a one-handed sword!
Now that the influence of the fog on the senses had weakened, through the light spell on the mage's fingertips, they naturally looked up and saw the fog demon who was fighting with the leading warrior Jude. I saw that the warrior had already given up his two-handed broadsword, but he took out the war hammer hanging on his waist, the right hammer and the left shield, and the defense was very tight. But the fog demon's attack was fast, and the warrior fell behind.
The mage flicked his fingers, and the light on his fingertips shot out suddenly, igniting the torch that Sauron had planted on the ground. Immediately, the mage's left hand swiped around his waist and then raised—the movements of the five fingers were fast, but Zhang Lu could still see that he had taken something out of a leather bag on his waist at a speed that was almost indistinguishable to the naked eye—the index finger of his right hand quickly drew a few symbols in the palm of his left hand, and muttered in his mouth. "Pop", a light blue flash burst from the mage's fingertips, and as the finger pointed towards the fog demon, the flash turned into lightning, hitting the fog demon's face.
The fog demon couldn't dodge, and his left eye was struck by lightning, and he couldn't help but swing his tentacles and howl loudly. Zhang Luxin said that he was going to suffer, so he quickly closed his five senses, and rushed forward with his sword under the observation of his heart.
As he expected, because the priest's magic basically eliminated the isolation effect of the fog, the scream of the fog demon exerted its maximum power, and Sauron, who was about to shoot the fog demon with his bow outstretched, fell down first, the priest shook twice, and finally leaned against the cave wall, the warrior was short, kneeling on one knee, and only the mage could barely stand......
Under the premise that there is no fog isolation, this howling sound spreads widely, and the decibels received by the back team will not decrease at all compared to the front team, but Zhang Lu's companions did not fall, but their minds were dizzy.
Zhang Lu held the "Xuanting" sword in his hand, and passed directly between the two of Fa and Mu, and across the huge body of the warrior, he stabbed the mouthparts of the fog demon with a sword. He always felt that the most heavily protected place was the place where the harm was, why did you say that this thing had four whiskers? This is not an octopus whisker, it is longer than itself, and it is obviously used to grab food, and four whiskers can only be used to protect the mouthparts.
Of course, if you get too close, you'll be caught by these short whiskers. Thinking that the soft, slippery and greasy tentacles might cover people's faces to "suck the soul", Zhang Lu couldn't help but feel a chill.
He wasn't afraid, but he was like a toad jumping on the surface of his feet, so greasy.
The fog demon shrank back sharply, then roared again, and then flew into the mist that was still gathering in the distance, and disappeared from everyone. Zhang Luxin said that you are afraid of me...... I don't know if it's the one that stabbed outside the Grey Mist City before dawn, and the wound was too small at that time...... By the way, my five senses are closed, and I really can't tell the difference.
With a single leap, he flashed past the warrior and took the first place, and then asked without looking back, "Does this magic effect attach to a person or a region, and how long does it last?"
The priest was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then replied honestly: "It not only covers the area, but also can attach to the human body, and the duration is about ten rounds. ”
Zhang Lu just let go of his hearing, and almost stumbled when he got this answer, and said in his heart that it was still a "round", it was really a game...... I don't know how long the so-called "round" of this foggy world is, forget it, no matter - "You guys rest first, and replace our people up." With that, he rushed straight into the depths of the mist.
He can "look at it with his heart", but his companions can't do it, Feng Heran immediately held a sword in one hand, flashed Sauron and the others, and picked up the torch that was inserted in the ground, following Zhang Lu's footsteps. Behind are Tang Liyu and Li Yanchao, the four of them are divided into three sections, and they are only six or seven steps away from each other.
After Zhang Lu chased it out for about dozens of zhang, he finally stopped in despair-the fog demon flashed so fast, he really couldn't feel it. His companions gathered around him, on guard. Zhang Lu let go of his five senses and asked them, "Do you want to exit first, or wait here and watch?"
Feng Heran replied in a low voice: "Those who are looking for a young lady can be returned, and those who are looking for an artifact can not be returned......"
Zhang Luxin said "looking for Miss", why are you talking so uncivilized?
After a while, Sauron and his group also caught up with torches, and the priest raised his scepter and cast the halo again. Zhang Lu secretly said in his heart: "These ten rounds are almost over, do you have to make up for the effect?" It is estimated that one round will only take half a minute at most...... "How many magic can you perform in a day?"
The priest was stunned for a moment, and then replied, "There are different levels, about twenty times in total." ”
"Where's the mage?"
"A little more than him. ”
It doesn't look like it's a very high level...... Zhang Lu simply stopped asking everyone's opinions, and said on his own: "Then continue to search and move forward." ”
Looking at the surrounding environment through the mist diluted by the divine arts, I saw that the cave had become pure natural, and there was no trace of artificial axe chisels, and the ground was gradually becoming potholes. Calculating the distance, they should have gone deep into the belly of the mountain, and there was darkness ahead, what strange things were waiting for them?
Zhang Lu said casually: "That thing is also stupid, if it is hidden in the dark and calls continuously without fog, it is estimated that we will all have to stop......
The mage shook his head: "That's the monster's talent ability, and it is estimated that it will be cast a certain number of times, so it's not like you can scream a few more times...... And maybe if you get out of the fog, you won't be able to use it......"
The warrior snorted coldly: "If there is no fog, I can carry it with a scream, and before it has time to scream a second time, my great sword can split the monster's head!"
Zhang Luxin said you just blow it, with your speed, you can't catch up with it at all - unless you take off all the iron armor, leather armor, war hammer, shield, etc. on your body.
Sauron whispered, "Are you all war mages?"
Li Yanchao and the others were all at a loss. Zhang Lu estimated that it was because the three of his four people were holding sharp weapons, but they didn't have any armor, they were all cloth clothes, so they were misunderstood by the blonde boy as a French profession - as for Tang Liyu, in fact, she is more like a monk (warrior monk), haha~~
He replied casually: "No, we are all warriors, but the racial attribute is born with a defense plus 10, so we don't have to wear armor." ”
"Plus 10?"
"Oh, that's the equivalent of a full-body armor. "-Anyway, bragging and not paying taxes!
Sauron and the others will be skeptical. After walking forward for a while, the passage suddenly turned, Zhang Lu vigilantly leaned against the outer stone wall, made a bend of nearly 90 degrees, and after walking a few more steps, his eyes suddenly opened up......
In fact, it cannot be said to be cheerful, because a little farther away from them is covered by a thick fog, but it is obvious that the left and right stone walls are all extended outward, and it is far more than two or three zhang in scale. Since the terrain has changed, it is necessary to beware of the enemy's surprise attacks from all directions, Zhang Lu turned his head slightly, and asked everyone's opinions with his eyes, the mage seemed to have more experience in breaking into the dungeon, and immediately suggested: "Lean against the right wall." ”
Immediately, the priest raised his scepter again, but Zhang Lu turned around and held his hand: "The fog has dispersed ......"
His five senses open and close, and from time to time he observes his surroundings, so he keenly notices that the gray fog is gradually dissipating, as if the sky is about to brighten. Of course, they went deep into the mountainside, underground, and had no other source of light except for the torches in their hands. But as the fog cleared, the light of the flickering torches could shine farther away - still not being able to see the stone wall opposite, and it seemed that the cave was very extensive.
The mage pulled out the materials again, and with gestures and spells, threw a small lilac fireball into the clearing. The fireball floated in mid-air at twice the pace of a normal person, gradually reflecting the surrounding scenery.
As a result of observation, it was a very large cave, irregular oval, more than twenty zhang high, no less than 100 zhang at its widest point, and fifty or sixty zhang at its narrowest point—larger than three football fields. In the central part of the cave, there is also a circular pit with a diameter of about ten zhang, the specific depth is unknown - the fireball circled the field, and finally wanted to explore the deep pit, but unfortunately the location and size of the illumination were automatically annihilated.
- The spell duration ends.
The entire cave has a potholed wall, with occasional moss, and there are no traces of man, and no other creatures exist. Zhang Lu guessed, "Did the gray mist and the fog demon come out of that hole?" everyone nodded—there was only this possibility.
Sauron sighed, "How long have we been down?" so far, we haven't found the body of Miss City Lord......"
The mage replied, "About a quarter of a day, twenty-seven or eight leagues after walking—not only did I not see the body of the city lord's lady, but even the city lord's guards who had come in to explore in advance were nowhere to be found...... I thought they had been devoured by the fog demon, so there must have been a corpse lying in the previous tunnel......"
Feng Heran asked, "Does the fog demon eat corpses?"
The mage shook his head: "There is no such record, those who are devoured by the fog demon will become withered corpses, and corpses will not walk." ”
Zhang Lu said: "Unless there is not only a fog demon in this cave, but something else......" stretched out his hand and pointed: "Go down to that cave and take a look!" (To be continued.) )
