Chapter 387 - Ghostly Qi (II)

"What's wrong, what's wrong!"

"What the hell is going on?"

"Isn't there Lord Trosse?"

Hearing the shouts of the colleagues at the front, the first thing that the guards thought of was Captain Trosse in the mine, he was in charge of the No. 3 mining area as a confidant of the city lord, and he had already reached the strength of the Sage-level, plus there was a Sage-level long knife to protect him, which was the backbone of the No. 3 Mining Area Guard.

Therefore, when they heard the warning, these people couldn't believe that something could cause such alarm in the mine.

"No!"

As soon as the longsword in the guard soldier closest to the mine was drawn, he was pierced through the head by a white bone shot from the mine, and had to stagger and fall.

Cynthia was then shocked to see a large group of pale zombies in his familiar guards or workers' costumes, roaring and leaping out of the pit and pounced on the humans around them.

"Ah~!"

In an instant, there was a scream around the pit.

These pale zombies are several times more agile, faster, and stronger than they were in life, and what is even more terrifying is that they have wisps of green gas wrapped around their bodies.

Several of the guards teamed up to kill a pale zombie, and was immediately sprayed in the face by the green gas that erupted from its body.

Of the three convoy soldiers, one was fine, while the other two were screaming and rotting all over their bodies, turning into a pile of corrosive liquid.

"Monsters, monsters from outside the sky!"

Seeing the power of the pale zombie, Cynthia hurriedly fled, ran until she reached the vicinity of the poisonous scorpion lion, and fled to the center of the city without even looking back.

Mining Area 3 was in a state of panic, as more and more pale zombies jumped out of the pit, and thousands of people in the mining area died in just over ten minutes.

However, this was only the beginning, as the dead creatures were transformed into a corrosive liquid, partially devoured by the pale zombies, and more piled up and placed in the mines.

Then, gradually, in the large green corrosive liquid in the pit, a new pale zombie crawled out of it from time to time.

These pale zombies have claws but also know how to use weapons, they changed into the armor left over from the mining area, took the weapons they had in hand, and began to spread around in an organized and disciplined manner.

And it wasn't Lin Tian who commanded them, but a pale zombie who had devoured a large amount of corrosive liquid and evolved into a Nether Ghost pawn.

After becoming a ghost pawn, this zombie's intelligence is almost equal to that of an adult, and it has the ability to command, and at the same time, each ghost pawn has the ability to release ghost mist.

In a lookout not far from the No. 3 mine, relying on the steep mountains, more than 20 guards of this lookout used strong crossbows to continuously kill pale zombies, attracting the attention of the ghostly pawns.

Oh!

There was no incantation, almost an instinctive roar, and a thin layer of netherworld aura suddenly filled the tower.

Although it was just a shoddy ghostly aura, it also instantly caused a change in the more than 20 guards in the watchtower.

Wu Chang'an Suya in the sentry tower witnessed the most terrifying scene in his life.

Just as they were using their crossbows to shoot magic arrows to block the pale monsters that emerged from the pits in the No. 3 mine, suddenly, a layer of vertigo struck him, causing him to almost sit on the ground.

When Wu An Suya woke up from his vertigo, he found that 15 of the 23 fellow guards with him had directly transformed into those pale monsters.

"Roar!"

"Ahh

The sudden change made Wu Changan Su Ya have no time to react, and he was bitten on the arm by a monster, fortunately, the leg technique he usually practiced had reached the high-level level of liquefaction, and with a kick, the pale monster that attacked him flew out more than ten meters away, and rolled down the mountain directly.

It's just that the pale monster didn't know how to loosen its mouth at all, and under the impact of the huge force, Wu Chang'an Suya's arm also lost a large piece of muscle tissue in an instant.

Seeing that the wound on his left arm was not bleeding profusely, but a trace of soreness and numbness surged into his brain, Wu Chang'an was afraid of poisoning, so he gritted his teeth and broke his left arm with a knife, and then he didn't dare to stay any longer, and ran all the way along the secret path.

Wu Chang'an gasped for breath, and while running, he was afraid.

He saw the appearance of his colleagues clearly, and he knew where those pale monsters came about, but he couldn't figure out why more than half of the group of people who were fine just now had turned into monsters in the blink of an eye.

And why...... But he is still alive, will he become one of those monsters in the future?

When Wu Chang'an was running, Lin Tian opened the system interface and saw an otherworldly version of the biochemical disaster brought by the fire phoenix he had dispatched.

At the same time, through this first battle of the Netherworld in the world of Kachia, I knew the effect of this Netherworld Spirit.

Even if it is a shoddy Netherworld Ghost Qi, once it is released, it can instantly infect intelligent beings whose spiritual power is lower than the liquefaction level, allowing them to transform into Netherworld Zombies, laying the foundation for the next path of ghostly pawns.

And those who have not mutated under the initial Nether Ghost Qi infection are not completely immune to Nether Ghost Qi, once they are killed or sprayed by a high concentration of ghost qi corrosive liquid, their entire body will immediately decay and turn into a corrosive liquid.

And these corrosive liquids can allow some potential Nether Zombies to devour and evolve, and at the same time, the accumulated corrosive liquid can absorb the surrounding souls and hatch Nether Zombies out based on the soul.

It can be said that as long as there is a Nether Zombie alive, it can create a large number of people of the same kind through infection and killing, and produce more fake and shoddy Netherworld Ghost Qi.

And these mutants are intelligent, capable, and have the possibility of evolution, and are not inferior to other intelligent beings.

In Lin Tian's opinion, he could completely regard the ghost pawn clan created by the Nether Ghost Qi as a powerful and possible new intelligent race.

The only regret may be that this Netherworld Ghost Qi cannot replace the laws of heaven and earth, and the soul is created out of thin air, if the Netherworld Ghost Race wants to develop and grow, then it is very necessary to have several intelligent races with extremely high fecundity as vassals.

Lin Tian also saw the foundation of the Ten Thousand Realms Hegemony that the God of Seclusion and Order had vainly tried to create.

With Netherworld Ghost Qi, if they can really unify tens of thousands of small worlds and master the cycle of life and death of the creatures of these tens of thousands of small worlds, wouldn't it mean that they have an almost infinite number of souls to make Netherworld Ghost Qi corrupt, develop, and grow.

Just think about it, if the ghost fence really succeeds, I'm afraid that with a wave of his hand, he will be able to gather the army of the Netherworld Ghost Clan that covers the sky of the God Realm, fight the God Realm, and force those ancient gods to completely let go of the divine power in their hands.

"If I were on the side of the gods of the Divine Realm, it would be no wonder that I would put aside my disputes for the time being, and work together to defeat the God of Order first. ”

"It's really surprising that the secluded fence can survive and keep a complete clone, and I don't know how he did it. ”

Lin Tian shook his head, dispelling the chaotic thoughts in his mind, and looked at the next Netherworld Ghost Qi change.

Wu Chang'an Suya successfully escaped, not because he was a martial artist of the agility department, but because the pale zombies were busy absorbing the corrosive liquid transformed by those corpses after killing the living people around them, and strengthening themselves.

And the scattered souls of the dead, as long as they are within ten kilometers of the mine, will be forcibly absorbed into it and become the core object for hatching pale zombies.

The lead Netherghost pawn drank hundreds of pale zombies that devoured liquids, causing them to collect them and transport them to the mines.

Then, in just over ten minutes, the corrosive liquid in the pit increased at least twice as much, and suddenly the interior changed again, and a five-pointed star-shaped altar with a black base appeared.

On both sides of the altar, the white cocoons of one person as tall as they hatched leaned against the pedestal, and from time to time the cocoons broke open, and a pale zombie came out of it.

The Nether Pawn walked back to the altar, climbed to the top of the altar, and let out a roar, and suddenly a stream of shoddy Nether Ghost Qi came out of the altar and rushed into the Nether Pawn's body.

After a while, the whole body of the ghost pawn changed again.

A black bone armor was worn on his body, and his whole body became like steel shining with metallic luster, and his body shape also changed from 1.78 meters to a giant of about 2.3 meters.

"Roar!"

The evolved Nether Ghost Pawn held his left hand weakly, and a black iron axe wrapped in ghostly energy suddenly spawned on the altar.

Then, this ghost pawn lifted the giant axe, kicked the ground in one step, and actually flew out a thousand meters away, the speed was so fast that Lin Tiandu was surprised.

"Above the ghost pawn, there are ghost generals, and after the ghost generals, there are ghost marquis, ghost kings and even ghost emperors, ghost emperors!" Lin Tian looked at the changed ghost pawn and whispered: "Look at the change, that ghost pawn has condensed the demon core in his body with the help of the nether altar, and has become a ghost general." ”

"But it seems that among the upper, middle and lower third-class ghost generals, he is also an inferior ghost general, and he never thought that he would have such strength, which can almost be compared to a martial artist at the peak of liquefaction, plus the ghost qi bonus, I am afraid that he can fight alone with the other party if he is a strong saint. ”

Lin Tiandao: "And if it is placed in a world where cultivating mental qi does not pay attention to blood qi, this inferior ghost general is only afraid of being an invincible existence among the saints, and in the face of the devouring ability of the ghostly ghost qi to the mental qi, those mental power saints are not as good as the blood qi martial artists at the peak of liquefaction!"

Lin Tian also noticed the giant axe in the hand of the Nether Ghost General, this giant axe was of excellent quality, comparable to the silver-level weapons produced by Lin Tian's blacksmith shop, and in terms of sturdiness, it might be a few points stronger.

"The altar formed by the Nether Ghost Qi, in addition to improving the Nether Ghost Pawn, can also be concretized?" Lin Tian whispered, releasing his divine thoughts.

Because of the pure Netherworld Ghost Qi in his body, Lin Tian was the master of this altar and even the entire Netherworld Ghost Clan in terms of rank, and he entered the altar without the slightest obstacle with his divine thoughts, and was able to observe its operation.

On the empty altar, as the ghost aura gathered again, a round shield was concretized.

"I see, it's not an illusion concretization, but a kind of advanced alchemy?" Lin Tian felt the process of the appearance of the round shield, and said softly: "The embodied round shield, the elements and even the ore in the pit, are just infiltrated with the Netherworld Ghost Qi, making it stronger and with certain special abilities. ”

"Next, let me see the power of the Kakia world in the face of the explosion of Nether Ghost Qi!"

............

In the turbid air, there was a faint stench.

Wu Chang'an Suya climbed into the city and finally breathed a sigh of relief, but the smell made him extremely uneasy: "What's the matter, could it be that there are people in the city who have mutated?"

"What are you talking about?" a large man wearing a mask strode over with a large bucket of disinfectant: "You look like a soldier?"

"Yes, I'm Wu An Suya!" An Suya heard the other party's question and nodded hurriedly.

"Go to the barracks, there are professional alchemists. As he spoke, the big man threw all the disinfectant water on the ground, and the smell suddenly became stronger.

"Does this work?" Realizing that the smell turned out to be the smell of disinfectant water, Ansuya was a little relieved, and then he asked.

"This is the method that the city lord personally invited to the alchemist guild of Huhua City, how could it be useless!" said the big man for a moment, and said, "Didn't you see that not a single monster in the city has become?"

"This ......" An Suya had seen those ghostly pawns, and he always felt that it was because the other party was accumulating strength and had not touched the city for the time being, but in his heart he also hoped that the disinfectant water provided by the alchemists could work.

The alchemists in the barracks already knew about the anomaly in the No. 3 pit, and they all went out to refine a large amount of disinfectant water for the city, and put a large amount of cleaning chemicals in the sewers.

As professionals, alchemists believe that this protection is enough to keep the city safe, and the rest is left to the warriors and soldiers who need to fend off the mutated monsters until they are eliminated or when reinforcements arrive.

The alchemists in the army were accustomed to seeing life and death, and after doing a good job of disinfecting, they gathered together, but they became interested in this disaster.

"This must be a plague caused by a virus brought by a meteorite that day. ”

"This plague is similar to necromancy, but it makes me quite curious. ”

"Yes, if we can use this to develop an alchemy potion similar to necromancy, this year's Alchemy Royal Award will definitely be ours. ”

"Hehe, it's not just a royal prize, if we can really make a potion of the dead, if nothing else, those old lichs in the Holy Land alone will be unable to sit still and run out to find us. ”

"When the time comes, whether it is to exchange benefits with the lich, or to ask them to take us as apprentices, which one is not several times better than winning a royal award!"

The more the alchemists discussed, the more they became interested in the Nether.

And they also feel that this is not difficult, because as far as the current situation is concerned, those pale zombies are not difficult to deal with, as long as the manpower is enough and can ensure that they are not infected, the human race has an absolute advantage!

Seeing the whispers of these alchemists, Ansuya didn't know that these people had already begun to think about how to profit from this.

Ansuya went to the doctor to disinfect her wounds.

At this moment, an alchemist glanced over, suddenly startled, and immediately ran towards An Suya with joy.

"You've been bitten by those monsters!"

The alchemist looked at An Suya and said loudly, "Wonderful, wonderful!"

"Someone, catch him, send him to the Alchemist's Guild, we have to find out the weaknesses of those monsters from him!"

The other alchemists were slightly stunned when they heard this, and then one by one let out a sneer.

Of course, they are not looking for weaknesses, there are no monsters, this is empty talk, but from An Suya's body, it is possible to find the virus that caused this crisis.

And that's what alchemists expect.

Ansuya had no autonomy at all, and could only watch as she was sent to the alchemist's laboratory and then watched by a group of old men.

The next experience made An Suya swear that if he was still alive and saw these alchemists again, he would run away as far as he could!

Ansuya's fate did not affect the uneasy heart of the city lord of Cynthia, who was now hiding in the city, connecting every big man he knew through the communication magic screen, rendering the horror of those ghostly pawns.

It's just that the big guys are well-informed and don't care about it, although a few people said that they would come to the rescue, but in terms of time, Cynthia needs to be able to resist for a long time.

As for spatial teleportation, alchemists have not yet touched this field, and if they want to invite the great magicians who can use spatial teleportation, every time they use it, it is a sky-high price, and the big names of the empire are not willing to use such means for a small city.

"Alas, one by one is like this, it is clear that they do not take my life and death to heart. Cynthia shook her head in distress, but she didn't expect that she, the city lord, would look at the lives and deaths of hundreds of thousands of miners in the mining area near the city.

"City Lord, City Lord!" a butler hurriedly ran over and said loudly, "Those monsters have moved again, and they have gone to other mining areas." ”

"Have the people from the other mining areas returned to the city?" Cynthia quickly asked when she heard this.

"Can't let those monsters increase in number. ”

"City Lord, it's only been less than fifteen minutes, and at least half of the population in the mining area has not had time to withdraw to the city, especially the miners in some deep pits, I'm afraid no one has come to inform them. The butler said this, and his tone was much lower.

"What, you mean, how many more people are going to be hunted down by those monsters?"

"Maybe 30,000 people, maybe more. ”

"Thirty thousand! Isn't that going to be thousands more monsters?" Cynthia shuddered when she heard this, and he began to wander around the room, pounding his thighs constantly, but he couldn't think of any good way to get out.

So, on the 20-meter-high, 4-meter-wide city wall of the city, the soldiers of the escort team looked at the horrific massacre in the distant mine in fear one by one, and listened to the screams of their compatriots, and these people were all distraught.

After some fighting, the Netherghost had more than 20 Nether Ghost pawns around him, and the number of pale zombies also reached more than 5,000.

The Nether Altar was further nourished by the Revenant and enough corrosive liquid, and was successfully upgraded to become larger, allowing the rate at which Pale Zombies hatch from 10 seconds to 5 seconds.

At the same time, after devouring the corrosive liquid produced by many animals, some pale zombies also produced secondary mutations.

Instead of successfully evolving into Nether Pawns, they have transformed into bipedal monsters with bull heads or horse faces.

These zombie mutants, which are very similar to the bull-headed and horse-faced faces of the Hades Palace, are called ghost beasts in the Netherworld Ghost Clan system under the Hidden Fence.

Ghost beasts are strong and weak, and the bull head and horse face belong to the weakest category, but even if they are the weakest, they are three or four meters tall, extremely powerful, and their combat power is close to that of the ghost pawn.

It's just that the potential of ghost beasts is often lower than that of the ghost pawn system, and it is also difficult to upgrade, so it can only be used as a supplement to the combat power of low-level soldiers.

The Wraith will raise his axe, and with a roar, it will point at the gates.

"Roar, roar!"

With a burst of neat roars, more than 5,000 pale zombies, more than 30 bulls and horses, and 20 ghostly pawns rushed towards the city with all kinds of rudimentary weapons.

"Close the door, close the door!"

Seeing that the monster was finally attacking, the gatekeeper didn't care about the miners who were still outside and didn't have time to enter the city, and hurriedly sent someone to close the gate.

Then, a loud voice came from the City Lord's Mansion.

"Reinforcements will arrive in three hours, just keep the city safe!"

"In this battle, everyone who kills the enemy will be rewarded with 10 gold coins! Kill a monster and get another 10 gold coins!"

With reinforcements, bounties, and the thought that they had the walls for cover, and the militia was twice as large as the Netherlands, the defenders' fighting spirit finally recovered somewhat.
