Chapter Eighty-Six: The Soul Drained
The flames covered all black, and the sound of Zira burning could be heard in the flames.
The gray-black blades writhed wildly like tentacles. Squeak!! screams under their feet came and went.
"What is this!?" A sharp exclamation came, and Lando suddenly saw the dying and struggling Necromantic Grass, and the movement in his hand froze.
The flames at the tip of the staff were squirted, and the scorched earth was in front of you, and the corpses of plants that had turned gray-black.
But after a while, I saw new roots spring up again in the depths of the earth.
Luo Xue stepped on the ashes that had not yet been reborn with trembling legs, turned back to Lando and said, "Please wait for me here, I'll go over there and have a look, and I'll be back in a while." Later, I'll trouble you to use a spell to clear this necromantic grass again. ”
Lando held the trembling staff, feeling that the situation was extraordinary, although he put on a confident expression, but there was no confidence in what he said: "Let it go...... Go with peace of mind, wrap it up with me. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, black stems and leaves stretched out from the soles of Luo Xue's feet, trying to wrap his calves tightly.
Luo Xue exerted force under her feet, shattered the entanglement, and quickly ran towards the forest that was isolated by the Necromantic Grass.
Although she adheres to the purpose of avoiding danger, what Luo Xue feels in front of her is not danger, but an inexplicable closeness.
In his eyes, there was a dim point of light at the end of the shattered earth, in the depths of the patches of necromantic grass, waiting for someone who could see it.
At the other end, seeing Luo Xue leaving, Lando suddenly sat down to the side and muttered to himself: "What is that, there are still such terrifying plants in this forest." ”
Necromantic grass, which feeds on the souls of living beings, will grow in piles on the battlefields of the strong, taking the souls of the dying.
Luo Xue moved forward quickly, leaving behind a large area of necromantic grass and entering the jungle at the end.
Then he walked out of the jungle and came to a steep cliff.
The cliffs stretch for hundreds of meters, and the towering curves become smooth on both sides.
Clouds float in front of you. Tiny mist trees grow at the bottom of the cliffs, spreading their branches and leaves.
Looking down, you can see filthy branches coming in and out of the cliff wall at will.
We've arrived at the position of the body. Luo Xue bit the knife in her mouth, climbed on the cliff wall, and moved down step by step.
He could already feel that this point of light was just below the steep cliff face.
A black stem and leaf detected Luo Xue's presence, and when she raised her hand, it was a roll.
Luo Xue saw it in her eyes and kicked away its attack, followed by a knife slashing.
But the moment he touched it, his feet felt the pain from his soul, and the killing intent in his body gradually awakened.
Luo Xue closed her eyes and concentrated on it, suppressing her killing intent.
After the stem and leaf were kicked away, the receptors were cut off by the knife. It resumed its original movements, unconsciously groping for the cliff.
Luo Xue breathed a sigh of relief, and continued to step on the unstable convex stone with her feet, slowly descending.
Cutting through the branches and leaves of the foggy tree, he was finally able to see the black puddle of black at the bottom of the cliff beneath his feet.
It is the foundation of the necromantic grass and the place where it feeds its souls.
With trembling hands, he clinged to the rock wall, and then jumped down with all his might.
He turned around and looked behind him, and the cliff wall nearly 40 meters high was slowly descending.
Looking ahead, Luo Xue's mind stirred up a long memory. He clenched his fists, nervousness and anger even overshadowing the killing intent in his heart.
It was a spherical behemoth, with countless filthy long blades tied together, unassailable. In its chassis, hundreds of roots dig into the soil, wriggling slowly as if breathing. Thick black smoke swirled around, but it still couldn't hide a faint glow in the cracks of the black sphere.
Stout necromantic grass grew in all directions nearby, and only there were some gaps where Luo Xue had fallen. The fishy smell permeated the bottom of the cliff, making Luo Xue a little dizzy.
"I didn't expect to see this disgusting creature again. Luo Xue's mouth spat out a trembling sound, and her breathing was already unstable.
Luo Xue had already determined that the previous Necromantic Grass was its product.
He took a deep breath, calmed his breath, and was about to make a move when the strange noise under his feet caught his attention.
It was the sound of bones colliding, and Luo Xue squatted down and saw the white bones buried in the black soil, half buried by the soil.
He used a knife to gouge out a part, the thin joints and hollow eye sockets, and weighed it with his hands, Luo Xue had never seen any bone with such weight.
It's a human skeleton, but I always feel that something is different. Luo Xue picked up a bone joint in her hand and looked at it carefully.
A few dog barks alarmed Luo Xue, and he followed the prestige, his face beaming with joy.
On the opposite side of the black ball, the yellow-haired dog Kowang sniffed his nose and spotted Luo Xue.
It kicked on all fours, and jumped directly from the top of the black ball and jumped onto Luo Xue's body.
Its body is now as strong as a cow, and knowing its weight, it quickly moved its body away and licked Luo Xue's cheek happily.
It has changed a lot in the past few days, the yellow fur on its body has gradually turned brown, and it has even begun to move in the middle of the Demon Forest.
"You can find me every time, but it's really a sensitive nose!" Luo Xue patted its shoulder blade and said happily, the original tension disappeared a lot.
The black ball did not notice the existence of Luo Xue and Kewang, and the stems and leaves on its body were intertwined, constantly rotating along the sphere like screws.
Kewang turned his head to hold the black ball, knowing that it was Luo Xue's target, and bared his teeth and showed hostility towards it.
It had no consciousness of its own and was indifferent to Kowan's reaction. Luo Xue stopped Kewang's stone and said to it, "We have no power to deal with it, the first task is to remove one of its contents." ”
And even if you deal with it, you can't attack it with your physical body.
Luo had already seen its tentacles, stems, leaves, and swirling black mist, all of which were strongly corrosive to the body. It's simply the nemesis of a creature like Kowang that attacks with his flesh.
Kewang looked at Luo Xue's expression and roughly understood something, so he half-squatted on the ground and waited for Luo Xue's instructions.
See if you can force a hole open with your elemental blast spell and take the contents inside.
Thinking of this, Luo Xue bent her legs and was about to rush forward when the scene in front of him made him stop in shock.
......
It's you again...... Luo Xue looked at the long-haired phantom in front of her, and the charge she was about to launch came to an abrupt halt.
The long-haired man leaned against the empty corner, as if there should have been a building there.
He didn't seem to notice Luo Xue and said something to the vast starry sky, but it was too far away for Luo Xue to hear anything clearly.
Kewang looked at Luo Xue in a daze hesitantly, not knowing what was happening.
"I didn't expect to meet you again under such an accidental circumstance...... Luo Xue smiled abruptly, and the moment the long-haired man's voice disappeared, his legs suddenly exerted force, and he went straight to the black ball.
Dispelled by the blasting spell, the black ball opened a wide mouth.
The tentacles around it instinctively went on the defensive, and the ejected attack was blocked by Luo Xue. Smoothly entering the inside of the black ball, Luo Xue saw that there were dozens of tentacles inside the black ball tightly binding a shiny thing.
But at this time, the gap created by the black ball also quickly closed.
Kewang was wandering around worriedly outside, but thinking of Luo Xue's words, he sat down anxiously again, looking at the strange appearance of the black ball.
Sharp tentacles grew inside the black ball, as if they wanted to use Luo Xue as their nourishment.
When he got close to Luo Xue, he realized that the point of light he saw in his eyes was not the body of the thing, but a protective shield. The spikes of the black ball's more than ten tentacles pierced into the protective shield, mercilessly extracting the dim light from the cover.
Unknown energy stirred inside the tentacle and passed down its branches and leaves.
This is the soul of a man! Luo Xue was very angry, he cut off the approaching tentacles, and grabbed the point of light.
