Chapter 240: A Fifth-Order Undead Knight?
"No, that's not right! Wrong! There is a problem!! ”
Tang Haoyuan held the magic book in his left hand and the magic staff in his right hand, protecting him in front of everyone, his eyes staring at the depths of the black mist, "Although I didn't feel the breath of the Hell Demon Spirit, I didn't feel any breath of life at the same time, and it wasn't a living thing!" It shouldn't be a rescue force! Be careful, everyone! Get ready for battle! ”
Everyone hurriedly became vigilant.
“……”
The oppressive, tense atmosphere spreads around.
Time passed little by little.
"Huh?!"
A few seconds later, Qi Lin's golden pupils suddenly shrank.
I saw that in the depths of the thick black mist, a humanoid silhouette slowly emerged, more than two meters tall, very thin and thin, and was constantly walking towards them at this time!
The black fog of Death Kirishima Island is extremely special, even spiritual power cannot penetrate it, and the visibility is only about ten meters.
And now, this humanoid silhouette gradually stepped within ten meters of Qi Lin and the others.
The crowd was finally able to see it for what it really was.
Skeleton.
It was a pure black skeleton, covered in mottled scratches all over its body, and even half of its ribs were missing, as if it had been through countless battles with this skeleton.
"Teng!"
Suddenly, the skeleton stopped, raised its head, and in its hollow eye sockets, two dark blue flames suddenly ignited!
At the same time, a surging coercion full of death aura also burst out from its body in an instant, causing the faces of the two hellish demons, Irena and Catherine, to change drastically.
"Undead Knight?!"
Irena casually protected Qi Lin behind her, and then looked at Catherine beside her, "I'm not wrong, am I?" This seems to be a fifth-order undead knight?! ”
"Yes, but not all."
Catherine looked at the approaching black skeleton and said in a deep voice: "There is no armor, no weapons, no horses, only a simple skeleton, and judging from the mottled marks of the skeleton's wear, this skeleton has not been repaired for some years.
It is impossible for an undead knight to be so careless of his bones.
On top of that, something was wrong with its soul fire, you see, the two soul fires in its eye sockets were dangling.
And the soul fire of the fifth-order undead knight should be more stable.
The deity of this undead knight should have died, and now the dove occupies the magpie's nest to control this fifth-order skeleton, it should only be a fourth-order hell spirit, and it occupies the skeleton of this undead knight, which is equivalent to possession! ”
"Fifth Order?!"
Tang Haoyuan on the other side heard this, and immediately showed a look of surprise on his face, "But with the spatial barrier situation of the Hanhai Realm, as soon as a fifth-order creature appears, it should immediately cause spatial turbulence!" Why doesn't it do anything?! ”
"Because it's not a fifth-order creature."
Facing Tang Haoyuan's doubts, Catherine shook her head and explained: "It is still a fourth-order hell spirit, but it is only attached to a fifth-order skeleton, this situation is similar to your instructor wearing a level 7 mecha before, and this fifth-order skeleton is the level 5 armor of the demon spirit!"
The power of the undead knights comes from their own soul fire.
As for their skeletons, they are simply a particularly hard skeleton of bones, unable to store any energy.
Therefore, this fifth-order skeleton body naturally did not release any fifth-order energy fluctuations to cause spatial turbulence...... In other words, what we are dealing with now is a Hell Demon Spirit with a fifth-order defense! ”
"Uh, deal with it?"
When Qi Lin heard this, he couldn't help but hesitate a little, "But, I think the skeleton guy on the other side doesn't seem to want to do anything to us?" ”
"Indeed."
Tang Haoyuan looked ahead, looked at the black skeleton a few meters away, and frowned: "Since the fire in its eye socket, it has stopped, stood in place, and looked at us motionless...... Well, to be exact, it seems to be on the same page? ”
"Are you sure?"
Daisy looked at the black skeleton, then at Qi Lin, and then said in surprise: "There are only two fires in the eye sockets of this skeleton shelf, Instructor Tangyuan, how can you tell who it is looking at?" ”
"Qi Lin, you take two steps to the left." Tang Haoyuan said.
"Oh......"
Qi Lin immediately did so and moved his steps.
At the same time, the black skeleton on the opposite side, its skull also turned slightly, facing the position of Qi Lin.
"Whoa." Tang Haoyuan shrugged his shoulders, "I'll just say it's on the line." ”
"But why?"
Daisy looked incredulous.
And Qi Lin and others were also puzzled.
"Uh......"
Suddenly, the black skeleton took another step and walked towards Qi Lin, and from the two blue flames in its eye sockets, a hoarse and incoherent voice came out.
Its sudden approach immediately startled Qi Lin and the others.
But before Qi Lin and the others could do something, the black skeleton bent its kneecap, knelt down directly on one knee towards Qi Lin, and then raised his right hand above his head, palm facing the sky, and made a hoarse voice: "Di, Diuxva, Diuxva......"
"What is it talking about?" Daisy was surprised.
"Demon Language?"
Qi Lin glanced at Irena and Catherine hesitantly, "Is this guy speaking demonic language?" I seem to understand. ”
"It should be." Catherine nodded, "But the accent is strong, and as far as I know, the word 'Diuksva' is basically only called by the Blood Demon Clan." ”
"Bloodseeker?"
Tang Haoyuan raised his eyebrows and said, "According to the intelligence, the Hanhai Realm was invaded by a hellish blood demon army a long time ago, and this historical origin is worth mentioning." ”
"Demon Language?"
Daisy was interested in another, looking at Catherine curiously, "So, this skeleton just said demon language?" What does it mean, translate translation? ”
"Hmmm......"
Catherine thought for a moment and said, "This is the meaning of my lord, master, lord, etc., the meaning of this word is not very precise and clear, depending on the context, it can be translated as 'my master', it can also be translated as 'my lord' and so on.
However, in hell, the 'lord' and 'master' of a demon are not necessarily the same object, so we rarely use this kind of ambiguous word.
Basically, only the Blood Demon would use the word 'Diuksva'.
Because in the city-states and tribes of the Blood Demon Clan, every Blood Demon Citizen nominally belongs to the blood servants of the local lord, and is a servant, so their lord is also their master in name, and because of this, the word 'Diukswa' will not have any ambiguity on the side of the Blood Demon Clan, so it is often used by them. ”
"Huh?!"
When Daisy heard this, she immediately looked at Qi Lin in shock, "In other words, this skeleton is calling your master?" Or just call you lord?! Why?! ”
"I want to know too."
Qi Lin looked at the black skeleton kneeling in front of him, his brows furrowed slightly.
For some reason, he suddenly had a bad premonition.
"The host ......"
At this moment, the blue flame in the black skeleton's eyes flickered, and he continued to make a hoarse voice, saying some demonic words with a strong accent: "I have done, done, your, command, please, lift, mine, curse, please, please lift the curse, please, please, please......"
“???”
Qi Lin's level of demonic language could barely understand what this sentence meant.
But it was precisely because he understood that he was at a loss.
Curse?
What curse?
As for Daisy, Tang Haoyuan and others, under Catherine's translation, they also understood the meaning of this sentence, and then they also fell into the same confused state as Qi Lin.
Everyone present was confused at this time.
"Please, lift, curse ......"
The black skeleton's body trembled slightly, and the right hand raised above its head trembled even more, and the volume of the demonic words it uttered became higher and higher, gradually changing from a low roar at the beginning to an increasingly high-pitched roar: "Please, lift, mine, curse!" ”
"Qi Lin?!"
Tang Haoyuan looked at him in disbelief.
"I don't know." Qi Lin's face was full of incredulity, "How do I know what curse?" I...... Well? ”
As he spoke, Qi Lin suddenly raised his eyebrows.
"What's wrong with you?" Tang Haoyuan asked.
"Wait a minute......
Qi Lin looked at the black skeleton kneeling in front of him, closed his eyes, mobilized the power of the inner demon in his body, and sensed it carefully.
After a few seconds, Qi Lin reopened his golden eyes and said, "I sense the thought fluctuations emitted by this skeleton monster, I should be able to use this thought fluctuation to use the power of the demon to build a spiritual bridge with it, so as to have a spiritual dialogue, maybe in this way, I can get more information and clues about that 'curse'." ”
"Is it safe?"
Tang Haoyuan asked again.
"It's hard to say." Qi Lin frowned and said, "There are some risks and hidden dangers in the psychic dialogue, if its thoughts are too chaotic, then once the psychic bridge is successfully constructed, I will be impacted by its chaotic thoughts, as for how serious it will be, it depends on the situation, it may only be a little dizzy for more than ten seconds, or it may be unconscious on the spot or something." ”
"Alas......" Tang Haoyuan's eyes darkened, "If only Ah Ye were still alive......"
Qi Lin was silent.
Shen Ye, the mentor of his demonic power.
That fourth-order peak demon envoy is very proficient in the use of the power of the heart demon, as Tang Haoyuan said, if Shen Ye is still alive, then there is basically no risk in communicating with the black skeleton, after all, Shen Ye is quite skilled in this kind of operation.
It's a pity that there aren't so many ifs in the world.
Shen Ye was already dead, cut into countless pieces by the spatial turbulence......
"So, what the hell are we going to do now?"
Daisy glanced at the black skeleton kneeling in front of Qi Lin, and then hesitated: "The skeleton of this skeleton monster is at the level of the fifth order, stronger than all of us!" It's not safe to stay with such a dangerous thing, right? ”
"Indeed, either it goes or we go, and we must not stay near it." Tang Haoyuan said in a deep voice.
"Shall we go?" Daisy hesitated, "But, Instructor Tangyuan, your divination results are staying where you are and waiting for rescue, if you move rashly, will there be a problem?" ”
"Let it go, then?"
Qi Lin looked at the black skeleton kneeling in front of him, and thought for a while, "You say, will it listen to me?" After all, it just called me master. ”
"You try?" Irena blinked her big pink eyes, "It's just a word, there won't be any problems, right?" You just tell it, leave now, and come back later to help it solve the curse or something, and say it in demonic language, if not, I'll teach you. ”
"Then I'll try, ahem."
Qi Lin cleared his throat, then spoke an obscure demonic language to the black skeleton: "Danikl Morus, Owumu Sir, Lila!" ”
"Uh, what a lame devil."
Irena gagged her ears with an uncomfortable expression.
"It's already good." Catherine laughed dumbly, "After all, the master is a human being, and the vocal organs are destined to make him unable to produce standard demonic syllables, and it is very ...... to be able to say this."
"Huh?!"
Suddenly, the black skeleton raised its head, facing Qi Lin, and the two blue flames in its eyes flickered slightly, and let out a hoarse demonic voice: "U, Ma, Lyles!" ”
"What does it say?"
Daisy looked curiously at Irena and Catherine.
"Well, it said to its master, 'You, at the beginning, didn't say that.'" Catherine translated.
"Teng!"
At this moment, in the black skeleton's eye sockets, the two blue flames began to shake wildly, releasing a surging and powerful fluctuation of thoughts.
"Huh?!"
Immediately afterwards, Qi Lin covered his head, his face was in pain, and the whole person staggered, mixing his left foot with his right foot, and he was about to fall to the ground.
"Together!"
"Master?!"
Irena and Catherine hurriedly stepped forward to support Qi Lin.
"My head hurts!"
At this time, Qi Lin felt as if his brain was about to explode, and a large amount of information and thoughts surfaced, but they were all chaotic and useless information, and he couldn't understand it at all.
Fortunately, these chaotic thoughts quickly receded like a tide.
Eventually, what came to mind was a clear picture of a memory.
In my memory, it was a dark red sky.
The clouds are thin, and the blood moon is like a hook.
Under this strange dark red celestial phenomenon, the "I" in the memory picture knelt on one knee on the ground, turned his head slightly, and saw many figures kneeling on one knee like himself.
Roughly counted, at least tens of thousands.
All of them were black skeletons, with golden flames burning in their eyes, all of them dressed in fine armor, carrying bows and crossbows, or swords hanging from their waists, or even worse, kneeling beside the skeletal horses, which also had shields, spears, and halberds on their backs.
—Knights of the Dead, assembled.
Suddenly, such a sentence appeared in Qi Lin's heart.
"Surrender to me and fight for me."
Suddenly, an indifferent man's voice came from the sky, speaking demonic language.
The "I" in the memory screen raised his eyes slightly and looked straight ahead.
I saw a blood-robed figure descending from the sky, standing in front of all the undead knights, calmly accepting the kneeling of these tens of thousands of undead knights.
Person?
Is it human?
I don't know, but at least this being in blood-colored robes looks like a young male human, he has waist-length snow-white hair, and a pair of blood-colored eyes that are not angry and arrogant, and his appearance is handsome, and his skin is very white, pale white.
"Master!"
Suddenly, in front of the Order of the Undead, a skeleton knight in heavy armor slowly stood up, faced the white-haired youth, and said in a deep voice: "We need a promise from you, we need freedom, not eternal shackles!" ”
"You're bold."
The corners of the white-haired young man's mouth were slightly hooked, as if he was smiling.
However, the skeleton knight's body trembled, as if in fear.
But after a while, the skeleton knight still clenched his fists and said in a deep voice, "Lord, master...... We need commitment! We need freedom! ”
"Yes, yes, yes."
The white-haired young man smiled, then looked at all the undead knights, and said loudly, "Follow me on the expedition three times!" After three times, I will help you remove the curse from your body and set you free! ”
"Thank you, my lord!"
The skeleton knight quickly knelt down and shouted loudly.
"Thank you, my lord!!"
"Thank you, my lord!!"
"Thank you, my lord!!"
Tens of thousands of undead knights raised their right hands and slammed their breastplates hard, letting out a cry that resounded through the sky!
……
……
"Thank you, my lord......"
"Thank you, my lord......
Qi Lin murmured softly, slowly opening his confused golden eyes.
"Huh?"
Irena and Catherine, who supported him on the left and right, were both stunned.
"Hey! White-haired scumbag! ”
Daisy's face was full of anxiety, and she reached out and patted Qi Lin's face, "What are you muttering?" Wake up! Wake up!! ”
"Huh?!"
After Qi Lin was slapped a few times by Daisy, his eyes gradually returned to clarity, and then he stood up and looked at the people around him, "How long have I been unconscious?!" ”
"It's less than ten seconds." Tang Haoyuan said in a deep voice, "Qi Lin, what happened to you just now?!" ”
"I just saw a picture of my memory......"
Qi Lin frowned, turned his head to look at the black skeleton kneeling on the ground, and hesitated: "I, I saw tens of thousands of undead knights kneeling on the ground, bowing to a white-haired young man in a bloody robe, and then the white-haired young man told the undead knights that as long as he went on the expedition three times, after three times, he would help the undead knights lift the curse on their bodies and return their freedom......
"Oh?"
Tang Haoyuan and the others looked at each other.
"Lord, man!"
At this moment, the black skeleton's body trembled again, its right hand was raised above its head, and the two blue flames in its eye sockets shook violently, and a hoarse demonic voice sounded: "Please, fulfill, promise, lift, mine, curse, curse!! ”
“……”
Qi Lin scratched his white hair and fell into deep thought.
He estimated that this group of undead knights should have been deceived by the white-haired young man in the blood robe? After following the expedition three times, the curse was not lifted?
Well, it doesn't really matter.
The important thing is that at the moment, this black skeleton seems to have mistaken him for the white-haired youth? And asked him to help lift the curse?
However, how to solve it?
He doesn't know at all!
