Chapter 123: Immortality (I)
The clearing was still very clean, but both of them were in the midst of changing colors, and on the ground, the gray aura was constantly rolling, and a foul smell was blowing on the face from time to time.
"Not quite right, death here is heavy!" Romon said as he turned to Avissie, and just then, suddenly, a hand reached out from the ground, and in a moment, several skeletons poked their heads out.
"Romon is behind you!" Avexi saw it and hurriedly reminded Romon of this.
When Romon turned around, he saw a humanoid skeleton standing up, and in the hollow eye hole of this skeleton, there were two clusters of flames, constantly flickering.
"Undead!" the name that was once known in some movies on Earth suddenly came out of Romon's mouth.
Avisy listened and looked at Romon "You also know the undead?"
There are no television, newspapers, novels and other pastimes in this world, and life is immortal, and it does not appear often, and there are very few channels for information to circulate.
If Romon was a regular professional, it was not uncommon to know this term, but Romon had experienced it before, and she already knew it very clearly - similar to ordinary townspeople, even if she saw it, she would only think it was a monster and so on, and she would not immediately call out such a name.
Romon drew his sword and said casually, "I've heard people talk about ...... before."
I don't know what the reason is, he didn't have any fear at all, to deal with this kind of undead life, the priest is best here, a divine dispelling, it is estimated that these undead lives will perish, after all, this kind of skeleton skeleton is actually just the lowest level of undead creatures.
The second is the "Sun Fire", which is a second-level spell, and the druids also have it in the natural arts, which can make the body emit flames, causing undead life to be harmed, which is more than enough to deal with low-level immortals.
But the problem is that this kind of power must be under the sun, and the power of the sun can be absorbed to create spell leaves, and now in this case, it is too late.
"Flame weapon!" At that moment, Avexi unleashed it, and in an instant, flames burned on Romon Sword.
To deal with this kind of undead creature, the power of the sun and the gods is the best, followed by the flame, Luo Meng saw that the sword was already on fire, and immediately cut it, and the flame touched the body of the undead creature, and it burned.
Although the fire was not large, a wave of death energy was decomposing, so the weak skeleton was seriously injured, and soon, it was scattered on the ground.
"Be careful, there is a lot of negative energy here, and there should still be this kind of thing. "Now that three undead creatures have appeared here, there may be more dangers waiting for them in areas where the aura of death is heavier.
Romon nodded, doubling his attention. Subsequently, in the passage, they encountered several batches of low-level undead creatures, all of which they eliminated one by one.
And the more you go inside, the more spacious the passage becomes, and suddenly there is a large open field in front of the two of them.
The real mining place has been found by them.
"Romong, look here. Avisy pointed to the large gravel area in front of him: "This mine should have had a big landslide, and all the roads ahead have been blocked, I think the breath of death we feel must have something to do with the collapse of the mine." ”
In fact, without Avissy to say, Romon had already felt the strong smell of death emanating from the collapsed mining area, and there must have been a big accident here, many people died inside, and neither the body nor the soul could be laid to rest.
As the two of them checked, several more skeletons staggered towards them, and Romon raised his eyebrows and blasted them to pieces.
"Let's go, it's been wiped out, and there shouldn't be such low-level undead beings nearby. Romon looked around and said, "It's just some miners, and they can't form any climate." ”
Avis, on the other hand, looked at the place where the collapse took a moment and pondered, and then said: "We have found the source of the breath of death, but if the breath of death is the cause of the decay of the plants in the territory, and the breath of death leaks out from here, then there must be a reason for the leakage, right? Although there are new traces of this mine, it has been abandoned for at least ten years, and there are no recent traces of the landslide, so why is it that the breath of death did not leak before, but now it does not affect the growth of plants?"
"There must be some clues, we haven't found them yet, let's look carefully. When Romon heard this, he felt that it was right and said.
So the two continued to search around, and finally, in front of a landslide about 500 meters away, in front of a crack large enough to accommodate one person to enter, the two were surprised to find a high stone platform.
It is said that it is a stone platform, but in fact, it is a number of pieces piled up with ore, with the shape of a platform, but on top of it is a stone slab, and on top of the stone slab, at this time, there are bloody animal carcasses, and some strange things, in short, they are all disgusting-looking things.
"The Altar of the Immortals?" exclaimed Avisy this time.
Seeing Luo Meng looking at herself puzzled, she briefly explained a few words to Luo Meng. It turns out that the Altar of the Immortals is used to awaken evil ghosts, and once the ritual is completed and the powerful and evil ghosts are awakened, it will lead to a catastrophe in the surrounding area.
As for why someone would wake up the ghost, it is because the person who successfully awakens the ghost in the ritual will be able to summon the awakened ghost for his own use, many years ago, there were some selfish mages who used this method to make profits for themselves, causing very serious consequences. It was also from that time that this ritual was rejected by the mage's world.
"Looking at the current situation, the ceremony has not yet had time to be completely successful...... Who?!" Romon was talking to Avisy when he suddenly snorted, pulled out the sword behind his back, and pointed behind the stone platform, with a thick killing intent on his face.
Just now, Avisy heard a slight noise behind the altar, so she stared at it as well, and whenever there was any change, a magic blasted through.
"Ahem...... It's me ......" Seeing that the people outside had already discovered themselves, a young man came out from behind the altar.
"Jacob?" the name immediately flashed through Romon's mind, and he stared at the young man who looked extremely depressed now, and said coldly, "Why are you here?"
"Romon, do you know him?" Avisy saw the faint mage aura on this person's body at a glance, stared at him, and asked Romon.
Romon nodded: "He's Jacob, the younger brother of Baron Galle!"
"Baron Galle's brother?"
"Ahem...... yes, Romong, I didn't expect to meet again. Jacob greeted Romon with a dry smile.
Romon still stared at him coldly: "Why are you here?"
Jacob showed a depressed expression under the gaze of the two: "Romon, you have also seen, I have been depressed, and now even eating is a problem, I heard that there is an abandoned secret silver mine here, I want to come and try my luck, pick a few pieces out, so as to exchange some money to spend." ”
As he spoke, he put down the pouch he was carrying behind him, opened the mouth, and sure enough, there were some ores inside.
"Secret silver mines, there is still secret silver here?" Romon was stunned.
Secret silver is a very good conductor of magic, which can expand the effect of the magic released and guide the flow direction of the magic power, so ordinary magic items are just ordinary magic items, and slightly more sophisticated magic items will always have the presence of secret silver in them.
Therefore, Secret Silver is an indispensable magical material in the magic system, but this expensive metal is very rare, so it is very expensive.
Seeing Rommon's expression, Jacob was stunned: "You don't know?"
"Oh, I don't know, tell me, in addition to the copper mines, there are also silver mines here?" asked Romon .
Jacob realized that he had slipped his mouth, and he said: "This was indeed a copper mine originally, but later I found a small silver mine, which happened to have some accompanying secret silver, which I knew from my father, and it is generally not leaked, so there is no such record in the information!"
"I see. Romon nodded, as if convinced: "Then let me ask you, did you see anyone else here just now?"
"Yes, I just saw a man pass by here and go into the crevice...... Jacob said after a moment's thought.
Romon and Avecy looked at each other, and Romon said, "Yes? ”
Turning around to leave, just as he crossed Jacob, Jacob's tired face suddenly became hideous, and he stabbed at Romon with a dagger in his hand: "Go and die!"
At the moment when he stabbed out, Luo Meng sneered, and he had already dodged it, and in turn, it was a sword, which was unceremoniously stabbed straight into his body, pulled out, and immediately blood splattered.
"Jacob, do you think you can fool us?" said Romon with a sneer.
As early as when Jacob said that, Romon didn't believe it at all, and when he turned around, he gave Avisy a hint.
Hit by a sword, Jacob rolled and screamed, and suddenly, he hissed: "That's right, the altar was set up by me, although you broke my plan, but now, you must not get out alive, haha......"
Speaking of this, he desperately threw himself on the altar, blood poured down, and suddenly, the altar lit up with red light.
The sound of the undead screaming sounded, crying, sneering, wailing, but the source of the sound could not be found, as if it came from any direction, this sound, sometimes like a little girl, sometimes like an old man sighing, accompanied by this sound appeared, and a piece of red light Luo Meng only glanced at it, and suddenly a very uncomfortable feeling rose in his heart.
I saw that where the red light was shining, there were distorted faces, most of them were men, but also children and women, all of them had their mouths wide open, their eyes wide open, as if they were screaming silently, and the expressions on their faces were also extremely distorted and painful, and even slowly squirmed, as if they were alive.
Just then, a shadow burst out of the crack and swooped down on Jacob.
"Be careful, let's retreat!" Romon hurriedly said, this situation is no longer something they can handle, this must be handled by a special priest.
"Death...... Death!" the voice just now shouted from many faces below, this power with an indescribable resentment, just a simple deterrence, made Romon and Avisy take a few steps back.
The distorted faces on the ground also began to squirm, coming towards the place where Romon and Avisy stood, and although the speed was not fast, the number of them was really terrifying.
Avisy nodded, and also felt that if this continued, it was very likely that he would not be able to eliminate this ghost, and the two of them would be killed by each other first, rather than spend it here with each other, it would be better to go out and find out the reason for the formation of this ghost, or return to the castle and let him hire a powerful priest to destroy this ghost.
So, the two of them began to retreat, and strangely, the ghost didn't seem to be very actively pursuing, so just after Romon and Avisy withdrew from this open area while defending against each other's attacks, the pressure on their bodies suddenly decreased, and the ghost did not chase it out immediately.
Even after exiting the landslide, the powerful ghost did not immediately chase it out, but the retreat of Romon and Avisy still met with considerable resistance.
On the ground, from time to time, skeletons climbed up from the ground, and these immortal beings, however, were instinctively longed for, desperately chasing the two of them.
They are not sapient, and once a living person or animal comes within the range of what they can feel, they will gather like blood-eating insects, and even if you choose to run away, they will try to catch up.
And in this case, the best way is to use the power of the pastor, or get out as soon as possible, and get as far away from them as possible. Romon and Avisy are both third-level druids, and they lack experience and strength in dealing with them, so they can only retreat as they go.
"Romon, be careful!" At this time, Avisi had just broken up a skeleton, and only then did she have time to look at Romon on the side, but she happened to see Romon surrounded by several skeletons in the middle, she hurriedly attacked and scattered one of them, allowing Romon to break through.
Romon hurriedly jumped out and shouted: "Go, don't entangle with them, get out quickly!"
Avisy nodded, and the two of them hurriedly rushed out, Avisy was in front, Romon was broken behind, and just in the middle of running, when he turned a corner, he suddenly stumbled under his feet and was mixed with something.
"What is this?" Just as Romon was about to move forward, he suddenly caught a glimpse of what was holding him not a stone, but a small package, looking at the shape, it seemed to be wrapped in a book, and the outside seemed to be a cowhide, Romon moved in his heart, bent down and lifted it. Because he didn't notice anything wrong with the package, he just glanced at it and threw it into his space.
"Luo Meng, let's go!" Ai Weixi, who had already run a long distance, saw that Luo Meng didn't follow, and couldn't help but look back, and saw that Luo Meng actually stopped, and immediately hurriedly urged: "I feel that the immortal power inside is getting stronger and stronger." ”
Luo Meng no longer hesitated at this time, and hurriedly ran out, no matter what there was, it was most important to escape for his life at this time!
Since both of them were marked at the fork in the intersection, they did not go the wrong way in the underpass, and in a moment the entrance of the cave was seen, and the sun shone down, apparently it was afternoon.
