Chapter 178: Necromantic Qi
"Necromancers can see everything that is going on around the puppet! Rise's expression became nervous, and she stood up and looked ahead.
"We haven't been exposed. ”
"How can you be sure?" asked Riska, turning her head in surprise.
"That's a long way to go, let's eat something first, and I'll talk to you slowly when we have time. ”
The subconscious of An Fei's words is very clear, everyone has not revealed the specific reason, and he doesn't want to talk about it for the time being. Perhaps because of the trust in Anfei for a long time, neither Suzanne nor Riska continued to ask, and their expressions became relaxed.
After hastily eating something, An Fei and the others practiced for a while, the sun finally rose from the east, and the night wind did not have much effect on the rancid smell that permeated the forest, but the sun could immediately expel the unclean things, as the sun became higher and higher, the light became stronger and stronger, and most of the rancid breath in the forest quickly dissipated.
Riska took a long breath, and his face showed a bit of amusement: "It's a miracle that he wasn't smoked to death yesterday!"
"You're still lacking exercise. An Fei laughed.
"I still lack exercise?" Riska exclaimed unconvinced, he thought that his experience these days could be described as ups and downs, compared with his previous life, it was really exciting to the extreme, and it was extremely dangerous, if this is not called exercise, then what is exercise?
"Have you been in a cell?"
"Nope!"
"Once you've entered a cell, you'll know what hell really is! The air in the cell is very muddy, and there is a lot of and urine all over the place, and every step you take has to step on someone else's or your own and pee, and you can't find a clean place. You can catch dozens of lice by grabbing a handful on your head, and rats are a rarity there, because for the prisoners, catching a mouse is equivalent to getting a good meal, and no one is willing to let the rat go, and the lice caught on their head and body can also be eaten. "Anfei is not talking about a modern prison, but about a medieval prison from the books.
"Not really, right??" Riska listened to the creep, although he was a commoner, he was lucky, he was able to become a disciple of the great magician Thor when he was young, where had he seen these dark scenes.
"You'll find out until you've been to the prison. ”
"How do you know so well? Anfei, have you ever been in prison?"
"No, I also listen to others. ”
"Surely this is nonsense!" Riska shook her head and said, "A normal person would go crazy for a day in that environment, and no criminal would ever come out of prison alive as you say." ”
"Riska, you don't know how strong a person's will to survive is!" An Fei said lightly: "Even if the environment is much worse than a prison, there will be people who grit their teeth and live!"
"I don't believe it!"
"If you do go to jail, you understand. ”
"Aren't you cursing me?" Riska smiled bitterly, "I don't want to go to that kind of hellish place!"
"Anfei is telling the truth. Suzanne interjected suddenly, and at this moment, her face was very complicated: "Riseska, you haven't seen those nobles' private death rows, I once saw a man whose body was put on more than a dozen chains, soaked in water for decades, and when his body surfaced, you could even see that he was crawling with maggots, but he was still alive." ”
"Susanna, stop talking!" Ryska cried, "I didn't seem to have provoked you yesterday, did I?
Suzanne turned her head to look at the sunlight shining in the woods, and then changed the subject: "Anfei, we should be out, right?"
An Fei secretly blamed Rescar for answering the call indiscriminately, he wanted to know more about Susanna's past, but was forcibly interrupted by Resca, but the matter has already been brewed, and it is not easy to get a word from Susanna's mouth, An Fei slowly stood up on the branch: "Okay, let's get out!"
Anfei and the others rested all night, but the zombies did not rest, but the traces left by the zombies were too obvious, and the wisps of corpse qi like slime were still coiling on the rotten earth, which had already pointed out the direction for Anfei.
This time, Anfei seemed to have lost his vigilance, and as if he had lost his vigilance, Riska was speeding through the woods with Susanna, and Riska could barely keep up with Anfei with a levitation technique, but Duriska warned Anfei and smiled mysteriously, but did not give any explanation, which made Ryska feel sorry in his heart.
It wasn't until he reached an unnamed mountain that An Fei waved his hand to signal Suzanne and Riska to slow down, but in fact, without An Fei's gestures, both Suzanne and Riska sensed that something was wrong.
On the other side of the mountain, there was a terrifying necromantic aura that did not conform to the basic principle of magic fluctuations, such strong magic fluctuations should be able to transmit hundreds of miles away, but they only sensed the fluctuations when they got closer.
"Ann Fei, they have a high-level necromancer!" Ryska whispered
Although he couldn't reach the other end of the mountain when he spoke loudly, he still tightened his voice: "There must be a necromancer who has released a large magical enchantment to block out the necromantic aura!"
"It's your turn, Ryska. An Fei said slowly, "High-level necromancers won't be aware of the magic fluctuations caused by the Sky Eye, right?"
"No, it won't. Ryska said as he released the Eye of the Sky, although it looked like the nameless mountain was in front of him, and there was actually a distance of more than twenty miles, but with the nameless mountain peak as the coordinates, Riska only repeated it twice, and accurately calibrated the focus of the Sky Eye.
An Fei had been fully prepared, but when he saw the scene on the other side of the mountain for the first time, he was still extremely shocked! I don't know what kind of enchantment it was, An Fei only saw that the sunlight was blocked outside the enchantment, and there was a very obvious boundary between the sunlight and the enchantment, which was a white mist that was constantly evaporating, and the entire back of the mountain peak was shrouded in mist. Through the thick and faint fog, An Fei could clearly see that there were dense zombie groups gathered below, and the number of zombies had roughly exceeded a thousand! If all zombies were transformed from mercenaries, then there was definitely more than one mercenary alliance killed!
In addition to the zombies, there were more than a dozen people in black robes walking in a normal posture, and in the center of the zombie herd was shrouded in a very thick black fog, and it was impossible to see the scene inside with the eyes of the sky alone.
"Anfei, I need to take a break. Riska said with difficulty.
"What?" An Fei was stunned.
"God knows what kind of barrier it is, I can't hold it anymore!" Riska was relieved as she spoke, and what she could see by the Eye of the Sky quickly became blurry, and finally she could only see the white mist that was thick and faint at that time.
"You don't know what kind of barrier it is?"
"I don't have any research into necromancy. Ryska smiled bitterly, "And I haven't fought a necromancer, don't ask me, maybe Suzanne can understand." ”
"I don't know. Suzanne shook her head.
An Fei pondered for a moment, "Riska told me what those necromancers were trying to do by gathering so many zombies together?"
"There are many explanations, one is to borrow the zombie's necromantic aura and turn this place into a cemetery that even the priests of light can't wash. ”
"Graveyard, what's in it for necromancers?"
"It's a lot of good, Anfei still remembers the Beamon beast that Hagen summoned with Beamon's bones, right? If Beamon's bones fall into the hands of necromancers, they can summon a white bone Beamon in the graveyard, and Beamon summoned by Hagen can only exist for a short time, and Beamon the white bones are like a ghost dragon, an immortal dark creature!"
"Any other explanation?"
"They have high-level necromancers, maybe they want to create one or even several zombie-killing zombies, but this is unlikely, killing zombies is difficult to control, and high-level necromancers may not necessarily succeed. ”
"Anything else?"
"Or maybe they're trying to collect a lot of necromantic qi to create necromantic crystals to reserve for the necromancer's legacy. ”
"Legacy?"
"Every necromancer's advancement requires a large amount of necromantic energy, as long as there are enough necromantic crystals, they will even ......"
"Anfei, I feel that something is wrong!" Suzanne said suddenly, "Listen!"
An Fei was stunned, hurriedly waved his hand, and jumped on the ancient tree first, and the three of them hid in the canopy, holding their breath, carefully listening to the movements around them.
The sound of broken branches did sound in the forest, but it was faint, estimating that it was hundreds of meters away.
An Fei gestured to Ryska with his eyes, and Riska quietly released the Eye in the Sky, a team of seven or eight necromancers and more than twenty zombies, who walked out of the barrier and walked into the distance. Zombies always walk on a rampage, they don't know how to avoid it, they don't feel pain, they let the branches and thorns pass over them, and the sound Suzanne hears comes from them.
"What do these necromancers want to do? Are they going to sneak up on the mercenaries again? Don't you think there are enough zombies?" Riska smiled wryly.
"Why don't they go out at night, zombies are much stronger at night than during the day!" asked Suzanne in a low voice.
"At night, the breath of zombies cannot be concealed, sunlight can kill zombies, and it can also clear the breath of zombies, and conversely, sunlight is their worst enemy and their best cover. An Fei has already made up his mind: "We can't let the necromancers kill people unscrupulously, let's keep up!" The greater the number of necromancers and zombies, the greater the threat to them, no matter what the reason, An Fei will not let those necromancers go back alive.
