Chapter 178: Necromantic Qi
"The necromancer can see everything that happens 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 been exposed, and he doesn't want to talk about the specific reason for the time being. Perhaps because of the trust in Anfei for a long time, Suzanne and Riska did not continue to ask, and their expressions became relaxed.
After eating something hastily, An Fei and the others practiced for a while, the sun finally rose from the east, the night wind did not have much effect on the rancid stench that permeated the forest, the sunlight could immediately expel the unclean, as the sun got higher and higher, the light became more and more intense, and the rancid smell in the forest quickly dissipated most of it.
Ryska took a long breath, and her face showed a bit of amusement: "It's a miracle that I didn't get smoked to death yesterday!"
"You, you're still lacking in 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 to his previous life, it was really exciting and 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 you have to step on other people's or your own and urine every step you take, and you can't find a clean place. You can catch dozens of lice by grabbing a handful of your hair, 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 mouse go, and the lice caught from their own head and body can also be eaten. Anfei is not talking about a modern prison, but about a medieval prison as it appears from books.
"Not really, right??" Riska was terrified to hear this, 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 clearly? Anfei, have you ever been in prison?"
"No, I've heard from others too. ”
"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 people's will to survive is!" An Fei said lightly: "Even if the environment is much worse than the prison, there will be people who grit their teeth and live!"
"I don't believe it!"
"If you do go to jail, you understand. ”
"Anfei, 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 her face looked very complicated at the moment: "Ryska, you haven't seen those nobles' private death rows, I once saw a person, his body was put on more than a dozen chains, soaked in water for decades, when his body surfaced, you can even see that his body was crawling with maggots, but he is still alive." ”
"Susanna, don't say it!" Riska cried, "I didn't seem to mess with you yesterday, did I?
Suzanne turned her head, looked at the sunlight falling through the woods, and then changed the subject: "Anfei, it's time for us to go, right?"
An Fei secretly blamed Rescar for answering the phone indiscriminately, he wanted to know more about Susanna's past, but was forcibly interrupted by Rise, but the matter has already been caused, and it is not easy to get words from Susanna's mouth, An Fei slowly stood up on the branch: "Okay, let's go!"
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 rotting earth, which had already pointed out the direction for Anfei.
This time, Anfei seemed to have lost his vigilance, and he and Suzanne were speeding through the woods, Riska could barely keep up with Anfei's speed with flotation, but Riska gave a warning, and Anfei smiled mysteriously but did not give any explanation, which made Ryska feel guilty in his heart.
It wasn't until he reached a nameless mountain peak that An Fei waved his hand to signal Suzanne and Riska to slow down, but in fact, without An Fei's gestures, Suzanne and Riska both sensed that something was wrong.
At the other end of the mountain, there was a terrifying necromantic aura condensed, which was inconsistent with the basic principle of mana fluctuations, such a strong mana fluctuation should be able to transmit hundreds of miles away, but they only sensed the fluctuation when they got closer.
"Anfei, they have a high-level necromancer!" Riska whispered
Although he couldn't reach the other end of the mountain if 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 seemed that the Nameless Mountain was in front of him, and in fact there were more than twenty miles away, but with the Nameless Mountain as the coordinates, Riska only repeated it twice, and accurately calibrated the focus of the Sky Eye.
An Fei was 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 barrier it was, An Fei only saw that the sunlight was blocked out of the barrier, and there was a very obvious boundary between the sunlight and the enchantment, which was a white mist that was constantly steaming, and the entire back of the mountain peak was shrouded in fog. Through the thick and faint fog, An Fei could clearly see the dense zombie group gathered below, and at a glance, the number had 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 normal posture, and in the center of the zombie group, they were shrouded in a very thick black fog, and the eyes of the sky alone could not see the scene inside.
"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 on anymore!" Riska was relieved as she spoke, and what she could see with the Eye of the Sky quickly blurred, 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 either, don't ask me, maybe Suzanne can understand." ”
"I don't know. Suzanne shook her head.
An Fei pondered for a moment: "Riska, tell me, what do those necromancers want to do when they gather so many zombies together?"
"There are many explanations, one is to borrow the necromantic aura of zombies 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, remember the Beamon Behemoth that Hagen summoned with Beamon's bones, right? If Beamon's bones fall into the hands of a necromancer, they can summon a Beamon out of the graveyard, and the Beamon summoned by Hagen can only exist for a short time, and Beamon is an immortal dark creature like a ghost dragon!"
"Any other explanation?"
"They have high-level necromancers, maybe they want to create one or even several killing zombies, but this is unlikely, killing zombies is difficult to control, and high-level necromancers may not be successful. ”
"Anything else?"
"Or maybe they want to collect a large amount of necromantic qi and create necromantic crystals to make a reserve for the necromancer's inheritance. ”
"Legacy?"
"Every necromancer's advancement requires a large amount of necromantic energy, and as long as there are enough necromantic crystals, they will even ......"
"Anfei, I feel that something is wrong!" Suzanne suddenly said, "Listen!"
An Fei was stunned for a moment, hurriedly waved his hand, and jumped on the ancient tree first, and the three of them hid in the canopy to hold their breath, carefully listening to the surrounding movements.
The sound of tree branches breaking could be heard in the forest, but it was faint, estimated to be hundreds of meters away.
An Fei gestured to Ryska with his eyes, and Ryska quietly released the Sky Eye, a team of seven or eight necromancers and more than twenty zombies who didn't know when they walked out of the barrier and were walking into the distance. Zombies always walk on a rampage, they don't know how to avoid it, they don't feel pain anyway, they let the branches and thorns pass over them, and the sound Suzanne hears is made by 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 hidden, sunlight can kill zombies, and it can also clear the breath emitted by 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 anymore, let's keep up!" The more necromancers and zombies there are, the greater the threat to them, no matter what the reason, An Fei will not let those necromancers go back alive.
