Chapter 70: Ghouls
"I know of a shortcut that will lead to the building by avoiding most of the monsters, but I'll encounter two strong elite monsters on the way."
Aoki said.
"Maybe I can figure out a safer path."
Cheng Shen said calmly.
"Huh?"
Aoki looked at him strangely when he heard this, and suddenly saw that a bright light appeared in Cheng Shen's eyes that made his heart palpitate for no reason.
"That's ......"
There was jealousy in his eyes.
Energy Mastery!
Cheng Shen thought silently in his heart, turned on his natural ability, and the gray world in front of him suddenly became mottled.
He found that the higher the energy affinity attribute, the wider the range of elements he could perceive.
At first, Cheng Shen could only detect a few meters, but now his field of vision has expanded to nearly 100 meters. Within this range, he could clearly observe the trajectory of each element.
The first thing Cheng Shen saw was Aoki.
In his true vision, a terrifying scene appeared on him.
An old bloodstained cross was attached to him, and two long black nails, pierced through his lower abdomen and chest, nailed him to the cross, and the blood flowing from the wound was stained black.
The bottom of the cross dragged on the ground, making it impossible for Aoki to stand up straight on his feet, but he was still able to maintain his balance strangely.
Is that the price of being weird......
Cheng Shen was terrified.
His body was nailed through by two long nails, and he had to drag a cross to move, and the pain that Aoki had to endure every moment can be imagined.
But he didn't show it at all.
If it weren't for his tenacity.
It means that he has been deprived of the characteristics of a living person.
It's true that he can't be considered human anymore.
What would happen if the nails on his body were pulled out......?
Cheng Shen couldn't help but think.
Then it was determined that he would most likely die directly, that cross was a cursed item, but it also maintained his life, once he broke away, with Aoki's injuries, it was impossible to survive.
No wonder, he was reluctant to tell himself the truth, no one would want to tell his weakness to an unfamiliar person.
"What do you see?"
Aoki asked tentatively.
"There is a strange aura on your body, and I now wonder if you are a human being, or if you have been manipulated by a strange manipulation."
Cheng Shen said half-truthfully.
The two sides hadn't reached the point of tearing their faces apart, so he wasn't stupid enough to directly point out Aoki's weakness, which would only cause him to be jealous.
"You can rest assured of that."
Aoki turned his head, his tense body relaxing slightly.
Cheng Shen didn't say anything more, looking ahead, in his field of vision, he could see that in the world full of colorful elemental light points, there were clusters of blood-colored or jet-black energy, which were the monsters hidden in the cemetery.
Avoid them all,
Nor is it necessary.
Part of the purpose of Cheng Shen's trip is also to upgrade.
He can tell the strength of a monster by the degree of energy gathering, so as to judge whether he can deal with it with his own lineup.
Soon.
The team encountered the first monsters.
That's a bunch of ghouls.
They are rickety, ugly-looking, and have grayish-yellow miscellaneous hair on their rotting bodies, like a mutated zombie hyena.
Closer to the back of the depth to see their properties.
【Ghoul】
[Level 7]
[HP: 3000/3000]
……
This is the monster with the lowest energy level active in the Graveyard.
But apparently not so easy to deal with either.
"Be careful, it's a bit much."
Cheng Shen reminded Da Meng.
Then, he threw the Soul Eater from his shoulder, "Go!" ”
Crash!
The Soul Eater disintegrated in mid-air, squirting out a large amount of slime from its body, and then quickly condensed, turning into a monstrous half-scorpion monster.
Click!
It swung its big cau, its eight legs moved in unison, and it rushed straight up, and the ghouls were lying on the ground gnawing on a rotting inhuman-shaped corpse, which was already swinging a huge scorpion and smashing it down.
Boom!
Boom!
The scorpion cricket slammed into a ghoul, breaking its bones and rotting its flesh.
-235!
-236!
-241!
……
"Whew!"
Several other ghouls around them were disturbed, let out a strange scream, and immediately pounced on the Spirit Eater.
Their thin bodies contained amazing strength, and they jumped three or four meters in a single leap, and went straight to the upper body of the Spirit Devourer to bite the human body.
Sou!
A black light flicked through.
The barbed scorpion tail behind the Soul Eater was about to sweep away several ghouls, and one of them was violently injected with venom, and after landing on the ground, a miserable green color quickly spread on its body, and the amount of blood began to slide down rapidly.
-222!
-222!
-222!
……
The venom of the Half-Scorpion has an energy damage effect, and it also works on these undead creatures, poisoning a ghoul in just a dozen seconds. Such a terrible injury can be regarded as a half-scorpion's housekeeping skill.
With just four ghouls, it seems that they can't pose a threat to the Soul Eater at all.
But there are more than four ghouls that inhabit the area.
The sound of battle soon alarmed more monsters, and one by one rotting ghouls crawled out of the surrounding graves.
Seven,
Eight ......
Aoki's expression began to change, although he could use strange powers, he was still very fragile, and if his head, heart, and other parts were damaged or severely damaged, he would also die like a human.
And then the curse in his body will explode directly.
"Are you sure the situation is still under control?"
He couldn't help but ask Xiang Cheng Shen.
"Of course."
Cheng Shen calmly took out the fire wand.
The firelight began to converge.
Airplanes......
Feeling the terrifying energy that was condensing, Aoki stopped talking.
"Hey!"
Loud yelling, trying to attract the ghoul's attention.
In fact, he did this somewhat redundantly.
Ghouls' auditory and visual organs have long since decayed, and they can only distinguish objects by smell, and they are quite sensitive to the breath of living creatures, and Da Meng only stands there without moving, as conspicuous as a torch in the night.
Also conspicuous is Cheng Shen.
But.
Not to mention that there was an existence like Aoki standing next to him, who had become weird, and he himself was cursed by two terrible weirdness.
Unless these monsters can't think of killing themselves, they will never target him......
"Whew!"
One by one, the ghouls roared and pounced on Da Meng, they were very fast, and in the blink of an eye, they rushed in front of Da Meng, waving their sharp front claws, and grabbing at Da Meng's exposed arms, neck, and other parts.
Fierce Shield!
"Hah!"
Da Meng showed great combat skills at this time, he raised the Spinosaur shield with both arms, and took a step forward, dodging the vicious attacks of the monster behind him, while knocking a ghoul directly in front of him in place.
He quickly burst out of the encirclement and repositioned, leaning against a tombstone on his back, exposing only the front protected by the Spinosaurus shield to the ghoul.
Chirping!
Karma!
The ghoul's claw blades kept scratching at the Spinosaurus shield, but he saw that the damage numbers were rising one by one.
-12!
-16!
-15!
……
On the other hand, the Ghoul's counterattack damage is,
-21!
-22!
-21!
……
