Chapter 48 Undead Scouting
In the entire summoning circle, the part laid out by her was almost flawless, second only to the part laid by Richard himself. And Richard, who has wisdom and true talent, has inhuman abilities in the realm of magic arrays.
When the summoning circle was dusk before it was completed, Luo Qi silently packed up her tools before walking towards the city alone. Nerith, Agamemnon, and Richard stood together, watching Rockety's figure disappear at the city gates.
"I really didn't expect this big beauty to have such a side, it's not easy!" Nereus admired.
Agamemnon echoed rarely: "Indeed. โ
Even Richard had to admit that Luoqi's focus and seriousness were indeed rare. This focus is already difficult to explain in terms of personality, but it must be strongly motivated in other ways. Just like what drove Richard to study and cultivate frantically in the dark blue for five years, it was the picture of Elani disappearing in the flames. And under Rocky's quiet countenance, there is another powerful spiritual power, maybe fanaticism, maybe faith, maybe something else.
"Hey, Richard!" Nereus suddenly hooked Richard's neck, tightened it hard, and his slender arm became as hard as steel, and said viciously to him, "Listen, I feel that from now on, I have officially become friends with Luoqi!"
Richard could barely breathe, unconsciously angry and funny. This wasn't the first time he had been friends with Luoqi.
However, as soon as Nereus's arm loosened, the next sentence made him unable to laugh: "Richard, Luoqi is not simple, but now she is a good woman." So, don't give her a chance to betray you!"
Richard savored Neris's words, and his heart began to wave. The way to truly love someone, as Neres said, is not to test her, and not to give her a chance to betray.
It took three days to build the undead summoning magic array with the power of many magicians, and in order to maintain the operation of the summoning circle, fifty magic crystals needed to be consumed every day. Such a huge summoning circle with such a huge consumption makes everyone full of expectations.
When the fourth day began, Sandru began to activate the summoning circle. In other planes, this summoning ritual is performed at night, but the green forests in the sky without a sun are not subject to this restriction.
As the magic crystals were lit up one by one, a ball of magic light condensed above the summoning circle, and a miserable white mist gradually grew inside the circle, and wisps of cold undead aura gradually spread. Moments later, the first undead creature stepped out of the summoning circle, and it was a lich!
The lich only showed a moment of ferocity, and was immediately controlled by the power of the summoning circle, and expressed his submission to Sandru, who was still below his own casting level. The lich drifted away from the summoning circle and began to summon low-level undead creatures on its own, then drove them deeper into the forest. And in the summoning circle, a bone horse stepped out, and on the horse's back sat a burly death knight. The Death Knight raised his rusty greatsword and greeted Sandru, then spurred his bone horse in the direction of Sandru's fingers.
One undead creature after another emerged from the summoning circle, surrendered to Sandru's will, and headed out into the depths of the vast forest. An hour later, there were six fifteen-level undead creatures summoned by Sandru, more than twenty undead of levels ten to fifteen, and hundreds of low-level undead below level ten, most of them appeared in groups. The summoning circle was still running, Sandru's spiritual power was very huge, and it didn't seem to have reached the limit of the burden, and the undead were still coming out of the summoning circle one by one.
Looking at Sandru, who was only level thirteen, everyone was speechless, and even Richard was the first time he had seen Sandru use such a large-scale undead summoning. Those who see this scene will understand why necromancers were hated by everyone before the era of dimensional warfare. If the necromancer is given enough time, it is impossible for other classes of the same level to fight against the necromancer. Like Sandru now, with so many summoned undead, it would not be a problem for one person to deal with an entire adventure party below level fifteen.
Above the summoning circle, as the undead gradually descended deeper into the forest, the magical light gradually expanded, and it could be seen that it was a smoky forest image. That's where the undead search, and where they've explored, they'll all appear in the magic images on the summoning circle.
Sandru sat in the summoning circle, patiently manipulating the circle, directing the newly emerged undead creatures to explore the dead end. He had water and vitality potions around him, as well as a lot of food, and was clearly prepared for a long fight. The Will of the Forest appears a hundred kilometers away from the city, and judging by the plane of the first Living Tree, the other two Living Trees are likely to be more than two hundred kilometers away from the city. The undead don't move quickly, with the slowest skeleton warriors traveling less than five kilometers per hour in the forest.
So if you want to wait until there are results, I'm afraid it will take two days or even longer. Richard transferred a team of elite soldiers to protect Sandru, and he returned to the city to continue his work.
In the dark forest, a cold and damp wind blew quietly. The already silent forest is now even more dead, and all the small animals that infest it are hiding in their nests. They shivered with a terrifying aura that had never been seen before, and they could only curl up in the deepest part of the cavern.
The undead walked through the forest, and the ghostly fire that danced in their eyes looked so terrifying.
Night had fallen, and the emerald scale fire was floating in the forest, moving on. The undead are tireless, and they can go on until the fire of the soul burns out.
Deep in the forest, two pairs of eyes were watching a walking skeleton in the distance. Immediately, a faint voice sounded, and before it could be transmitted a few meters, it was blown away by the wind in the forest, and it would not be captured by the skeleton at all.
"Elder, what is that? I feel incredible evil in it!"
Another slightly old voice said, "It should be an immortal spirit! the most evil thing, never seen in our forests before." It must have been summoned by those invaders. Damn, the great will of the forest can't deal with these undead who have lost even their souls!"
In the leafy canopy, a huge longbow was drawn, and long arrows entwined with the breath of nature were aimed at the skeleton. This is a young and strong shooter with a gritty glint in both eyes.
"Elder, although it is evil, it is not strong enough, I can completely destroy it with one arrow!"
An old withered hand pressed the young archer's bow and arrows, and the elder then said, "No, don't be so anxious, patience is a virtue. We need to keep watching and see what exactly they want to do. The undead are not moving fast, and we still have plenty of time to prepare. โ
Elder Druid, with an old but wise face, stared at the staggering skeletons in the distance, and said slowly, "If we can discover their true purpose, then perhaps we can lay a trap and teach these intruders a profound and unforgettable lesson!"
The night is over, and the morning is coming. Sandru is still maintaining the summoning circle, but now instead of summoning new undead, it is maintaining its current size. But with thousands of undead creatures, people are still amazed by his spiritual power.
By the afternoon of the next day, Lina, Agamemnon, Nereus, and the others appeared around Sandru, patiently watching the magical images above the summoning circle. From now on, the undead knights at the front have reached the distance where the tree of life might appear. As you can see from the magical images, most of the forest is still shrouded in mist, but there are thousands of thin lines in the mist, radiating in all directions. These thin lines of images are the trajectories of undead creatures.
Everyone quietly waited for the results of the investigation, and at night, Sandru suddenly snorted, his face was pale for a while, and then said in a hoarse voice: "One of my summoning undead ** has fallen!"
Everyone was in high spirits and asked repeatedly, "Where!"
Sandru quickly pulls the magic image on the summoning circle, then expands and zooms in. At the tip of a thin radial line, a red dot can be seen flashing. It was a mark that Sandru had magically put on to make it clear to everyone.
"A skeleton warrior has been wiped out. Its strength was too weak to transmit back the image before the destruction of Miรจ. Sandru explained.
The necromancer studied the magic image for a while, and with a wave of his hand, he saw that more than a dozen undead who were originally moving in a straight line all changed direction, centering on the place where the skeleton warrior was destroyed, and quickly gathered.
In the middle of the forest, a quietly growing bush was suddenly crushed by four churning iron hooves, and a bone horse spewed the cold breath of the undead and walked through the thorny bushes. The Death Knight on horseback had his eyes flashing with turquoise deathfire, and he spurred his horse with all his strength and charged forward at full speed.
Suddenly, it opened up in front of it, and it had rushed to an open meadow!
The Death Knight quickly stopped the bone horse, looked up, and then shook his whole body! In front of it was a huge tree hundreds of meters high, and hundreds of tree houses were built on it. The strong breath of life emitted by the giant tree fell on it at all times, like sprinkling water in boiling oil, stirring up sneering white smoke!
The Tree of Life!
The Death Knight roared in pain, such a strong breath of life was the most intense damage to it. Immediately, several rapidly approaching flashes of light appeared in its field of vision. Most of them were long arrows entangled in natural light, as well as two strong natural spells.
In an instant, both the natural spell and the long arrow hit the Death Knight at the same time! The Death Knight roared in pain, and a large cloud of green mist continued to emerge from the cracks in his armor, and the green mist was like fire, constantly burning its death breath, and in the blink of an eye, it was completely dead.
