Chapter 31: The praise of the earth and the blooming of the flower of light

"Praise the earth, which carries all things in the world, how many species stagger on your back, and continue from generation to generation. Praise the earth, which has given birth to infinite vitality, and how many lives have grown and multiplied under your nourishment, and have been endless. Praise the earth, which provides shelter for the survival of living beings, so that they are not plagued by enemies and dangers, and our earth, which provides a home for souls, so that they can return to their only place of refuge, to eternal sleep......"

Lina knelt on the protruding stone pillar, her hands clenched into fists in front of her, the tip of her nose pressed against her fist, her eyes slightly closed, and she chanted in a low voice with affection and concentration. In the chant of the earth's praise, a ray of light fell from the sky, through the gap in the canyon overhead, and shone directly on Lina's head, bathing the white-robed silver-haired girl sage in holy light. As the light came, a soft and deep earth-like vitality began to radiate from Lina's body, slowly but inexorably spreading in all directions.

At the same time as the vitality erupted, Anne immediately got back into the pendant, and the undead around seemed to sense the existence of natural enemies, and the restlessness became more intense. However, no matter how restless they were, they could no longer be reversed, and the vitality continued to spread, and the grass on the ground in the canyon grew rapidly even under the influence of the vitality brought by the divine power.

"Shhh Marcia grinned, and gave a strange sigh, the expression on her face that seemed to be pained and pleasant. Catherine gave Marcia a strange look, "What's wrong with you?"

"Assassination. Marcia rubbed her shoulders and said, "I didn't know about the dark wounds that some drugs and healing spells didn't heal, but they are healing under the nourishment of this vitality. ”

"I guess it's a side effect. Catherine said, "I don't feel anything, I guess the previous dark wound has been healed a long time ago." Lina's healing spells are very powerful, and with her, you don't have to worry about getting hurt at all. ”

"Then you can't get hurt a little if you're idle. Pannis squinted at Catherine: "Do your own calculations, how many times have you been seriously injured in the past few months, and there have been two near-fatal injuries, right?"

As he spoke, the spreading vitality began to come into contact with the undead who were crowded around him, and the undead were interested in the breath of these beings. But like facing a highly toxic drug, it is obviously a dead soul without fear and no feelings, but instinctively flees backwards, lest it be touched by these creatures. But the previous undead were too crowded. Now the undead in the back want to move forward, but the undead in front should have retreated, and neither side can move, and they are completely frozen in place. The undead are in a stalemate, but the power of life contained in the earth is not. It's still spreading. Every undead soul touched by anger will stiffen and shake in place a few times as if drunk, and then fall to the ground, and the vigorous soul fire will be extinguished and return to peace. The majestic vitality continued to spread outward, seemingly slowly, but unconsciously covering the space of a hundred meters nearby, and a large number of undead were purified and turned into ordinary dry bones. Leave a large uninhabited area around.

"Substitutions. Lina's chant stopped, and she suddenly raised her head, her eyes still flashing with the silver light of divine power: "Big sister, it's your turn." ”

Catherine nodded, jumped off the stone pillar, and rode right onto the back of her silver wolf. The silver wolf threw its head back and howled, its limbs clasped the ground hard, and rushed forward like the wind, passing over the empty area, and crashing head-on into the undead outside the range.

"Tactics of war. Legion, cone. Catherine swung her sword, and the power on the blade condensed. Behind her, hundreds of illusory square flags and swallowtail flags fluttered again. Hundreds of knights wrapped in steel appeared in the gallop, raising their weapons in their hands and silently cheering. Catherine's face was calm, her steady hand was placed on her face, and she raised her sword diagonally in front of her, as if the knights behind her had received some signal. Then he put down his visor and clenched the riding gun in his hand.

"Legion, chisel through. Catherine's sword slashed down with the tip of the sword facing the group of skeletons in front of her, and the mount increased its speed to its maximum speed and rushed to the enemy's position first. The illusory knights behind him slammed down on the backs of the same illusory horses, their bodies almost lying on the horses, and the illusory riding spears were stably resting on the gun carriages, and the sharp tips of the spears flashed with bloody glimmers.

With Catherine at the forefront, a hundred knights formed a cone-shaped battle formation, and silently crashed head-on into the Sea of Skulls with neat speed. Under the flickering of fighting energy, the skeleton at the front was split by a sword, and the skeleton in the second and third place was hit by the wolf's head and rolled into a ball on the ground. Before they could stand up, the iron hooves of the knights behind them had already followed, and the illusory but heavy iron hooves stepped down on them, turning them from skeletons into a pile of bone powder in no time.

The fearless knights seemed to be completely unaware of tiredness - of course, they did not know tiredness as a product of their skills - and went up against the current in the sea of the undead, quickly opened a wide passage, and advanced a full hundred meters before they ran out of momentum and slowed down, and as soon as the knights slowed down, another stone pillar rose in place and stood in the middle of the sea of the undead. The four of Pannis sat on the back of the silver wolf, and rushed directly to the base of the stone pillar through the passage opened by Catherine, just like just now, instead of Marcia carrying Vivien, Pannis still hugged Lina and jumped to the top of the stone pillar again.

"Whoosh", several bone arrows shot out trickyly, choosing the timing when several people were in mid-air and could not dodge, and at the same time, three huge horse chopping knives with the sound of whistling wind were swirled and thrown over, aiming at Lina and Vivien, two relatively weak spell-casting professions.

"It's the unconscious spirit again. Pannis pulled the hook hard, letting go of several bone arrows, and kicked out at the same time, just in the center of the spinning chopper, and the clever force made the chopper turn in a different direction, flying straight upwards, cutting into the rock wall above his head and getting stuck in it.

"Charge for support. Catherine, who had just finished the assault, rushed back to the stone pillar with her skills, and blocked the other two strangely angled swords with her shield in time.

"I drank the medicine. Lina poured a bottle of meditation potion in one gulp, sat down cross-legged, and entered a three-minute meditation period, and the three of Marcia, Catherine, and Pannis, as before, protected Vivien and Lina in the siege triangle inside.

"Looks like it's my turn. Vivian sneered at the corner of her mouth, and said in a low voice: "Last time, I encountered a large group of undead without a little preparation, and I almost lost my life, this time it is different, this time I am fully prepared to deal with the undead, and I will not give you any more chances." ”

"Three minutes of time. Catherine gasped and reminded, "It's best not to take more than four minutes, we'll have to start the next impact, no problem." ”

"Of course, no problem, I'm the best genius of all. Vivien smiled arrogantly, "It's Vivien's time." ”

Before the words fell, Vivien's arms suddenly opened to the sides, and behind her, it seemed that a large number of invisible tentacles had been born, and more than a dozen small crystal bottles were held in the air by the tentacles, and they were still shaking up and down. The transparent crystal bottle is full of pale white liquid, and the color of the liquid is very soft, and just looking at it can make people feel comfortable.

"Smack. More than a dozen caps were opened at the same time, and a hint of warmth emanating from the bottle made everyone curious about what the liquid was. Feeling the power of the liquid, the undead were even more uneasy than when they faced the vitality brought by Lina's magic just now, and even pressed the silver wolf defending under the stone pillar to the edge of the stone pillar at one point, and wanted to rush to the stone pillar to attack at all costs. But the strength of the silver wolves is also undoubted, the smaller the defensive circle maintained, the higher the defensive power, when the defensive ring is already close to the stone pillar, the sea of skulls can no longer advance a millimeter, and is forced under the stone pillar by the five giant wolves.

The smile on Vivien's face was cold, it seemed that she was besieged by the undead in the sewers more than a month ago, and the fact that Catherine almost died made her full of resentment towards the undead, so she poured more than a dozen bottles of liquid around the stone pillar with a sense of revenge, and at the same time took out more pale white crystal bottles with both hands and threw them farther away. Under the control of her magic silk thread, the range covered by the liquid also extended more than a hundred meters, and only then did she give up continuing to expand the range due to lack of strength.

"Ready. After doing all this, Vivien secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a blue soft hat on her head, "Annoying undead, now go back to where you need to go." ”

"Smack. Vivien snapped her fingers lightly and said word by word, "Vivien mode, flower of light." ”

With the snap of fingers, a white wall of light composed of light attribute elements appeared around the stone pillar, enclosing the stone pillar in the middle without any gaps, and the circular light wall gradually extended upward, until it rushed up to a height of nearly 100 meters before stopping the momentum of extension and closing together. At this time, the wall of light is like a bud waiting to be released, and countless layers of light wall tightly wrap the stone pillar, like petals closing together to protect the stamens inside.

"It's like the magic of life. Vivien had already recovered her mood and said calmly: "Light magic is also the nemesis of the undead, under the high concentration of light elements, the undead who represent darkness and death can only usher in destruction, this is their only ending. ”

"So, you started preparing long before you knew that our opponent this time was an undead?" Pennis asked, "Judging by your performance without sparing a lot of money, I'm afraid you have prepared a lot of these potions you need to cast spells." ”

"Very much. Vivien said: "Last time I dragged my feet and almost killed my eldest sister, this time I want to breathe." ”

Catherine turned her back to Vivien, sighed softly, shook her head and said nothing.

Vivien stopped talking, clapped her hands lightly, and chanted in a low voice, "Vivien mode, flowers bloom." ”

As a result, a huge flower composed of light elements slowly bloomed in the canyon. (To be continued.) )
