Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Phantom Menace
The darkness before dawn is often the most dangerous time, and it is also the moment when a person feels the most desperate and terrifying, and Dahl and Riccardo deeply realized this, when the two of them wanted to sneak into the canyon of death, they did not expect to encounter a large number of ghosts, the two of them are like two lights in the darkness, attracting a large number of ghosts to come, the only fortunate thing is that there is no high-level existence here.
All sorts of ghosts, knife-wielding, hammer-wielding, men, women, old people, and even children, all came to them in one fell swoop.
The fighting energy of Dahl's whole body exploded, and the golden fighting energy surrounding the blood-red thunder and lightning stimulated the surrounding ghosts, but at the same time, they were afraid of the dazzling light, Dahl added fire elemental magic to the fighting energy of his whole body, slashing any ghosts who dared to approach him.
The ghost's body is ethereal, and when Dahl punches them, the attack containing fire can also hurt them, which may be the statement that only attacks with light attribute can cause damage to them before leaving.
Dahl had just completely annihilated a tall man-like ghost with his fists, and two ghosts that looked like children of about ten years old came out behind him, only to see them stretch out their hands and grab Dahl's back, when they touched Dahl's body, Dahl himself felt a chill all over his body, and at the same time, his soul sent out a tingling sensation, Dahl's palm became a knife, splitting the two of them in half, but immediately four or five more ghosts pounced, Dahl saw this, the fierce flames wrapped around his hands, he shouted, and the two fire dragons roared and rushed over, destroying dozens of ghosts along the way.
"Dahl, it's not the way to go on like this, we have to find a way to break through. Riccardo yelled.
"Haode!" Dahl concentrated his fighting energy on his hands, compressed the energy in it to a limit, and then violently spread out in all directions, the compressed energy turned into dazzling lights, and the bodies of the surrounding ghosts were full of holes, and they let out a kind of wail, which disappeared into the air in an instant. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Dahl grabbed Riccardo beside him and rushed outside with all his might.
When the two of them temporarily left the encirclement formed by the largest number of ghosts, Dahl turned abruptly, took out a few light magic scrolls from his body, tore off their seals and threw them forward, and then turned on the fighting qi and injected fire element energy, an energy light ball surrounded by flames appeared in his hand again, and then he threw it forward vigorously, the flame light ball collided with the energy burst out of the light magic scroll and exploded violently, and it actually emptied all the ghosts in front of Dahl's eyes. At this time, as the warm sun gradually shone on Dahl and Riccardo, they knew that they could finally relax.
The sun hung high in the sky, as if mocking the two incompetent humans below. As Dahl sat on the ground, recovering as quickly as he could, the two of them looked at each other and smiled bitterly one after another.
"I didn't expect it to be like this, no wonder it's so scary here, it's just the most ordinary ghosts. Dahl said with a sigh.
"In the absence of high-level ghosts, these low-level ghosts are relying on their thousands of numbers to drown out all living creatures they can see, and in the absence of absolute strength, quantity must be stronger than quality. Riccardo said.
The two of them rested for a while, and set off again, they were going deep into the Death Canyon to find his legendary miracle flower, and as they were moving forward, they could gradually see some other adventurers, who seemed to have entered through other passages. There were also other creatures in the Death Valley during the day, and they had just seen two huge monsters fighting, and there were a lot of human corpses scattered around them, which seemed to be some unlucky guys.
There are not many ghosts in the daytime, only some scattered in the canyon, their bodies will ripple from time to time, as if a protective film, to help them resist the sun's damage, but there will still be some ghosts in the direct sunlight of the ashes, knowing this result, but they are still wandering outside, as if looking for something.
"What's going on?" Dahl asked.
"I don't know, most of the ghosts in the day are in this state, at least these low-level ones. Riccardo said. At this moment, an angry roar sounded not far from them, and the two of them ran forward, only to see a huge tiger monster standing there, and there were at least hundreds of ghosts around it, but although they were dumbfounded, they were moving towards the location of the monster little by little.
"It's the Earth Tiger, a magical beast with the earth element Liliang. Riccardo said.
I saw that the face of the earth tiger was full of fear, it trembled and roared at those ghosts, and from time to time launched a large number of shockwaves composed of stones from its mouth, but these attacks could not hurt those ghosts at all, when the first ghost touched the earth tiger, it let out a kind of scream, and then the ghost actually entered the tiger's body, the earth tiger immediately fell to the ground, and then used his claws to frantically grab the place where the ghost entered, but unfortunately, even if he scratched his body to the flesh and blood, for the ghost, it had no effect at all, and during this timeMore ghosts entered the body of the Earth Tiger, and the tiger rolled back and forth on the ground, trying to drive the intruders out of their bodies. Suddenly, the body of the earth tiger shrank rapidly, and the body that was originally nearly ten meters shrunk to only more than three meters in a short period of time, and then, the tiger let out a wail, and the whole body was completely shriveled, and a ghost with a size of at least four meters or so drilled out of the head of the earth tiger, and they were surprised to find that this ghost was no longer a void body, he had substance.
"How so?" exclaimed Ricardo, and the ghost suddenly turned his head, and he roared in Dahl's direction, and then strode towards him.
"He really made a sound, this ghost was completely different from last night's. Dahl and the others found that this ghost with substance could no longer pass through any object like any other ghost, to hide when it touched a rock, to jump when it hit a trench, but judging from his expression, although his movements were more flexible than last night's, his expression was very impatient as if he was afraid of something, and his attack method did not change in any other way, and he still rushed towards him stupidly.
Riccardo picked up his two-handed broadsword that was at least the same height as himself, the golden bucket was warm on the body of the sword, he rushed towards the other party with the sword, the two sides were wrong, and at least a dozen scars appeared on the ghost's body, and then, Riccardo quickly turned his body, and the huge weapon cut the ghost in half, Dahl followed and slapped the ghost's body with his hand wrapped in flames, only to hear him let out a cry of pain, and then disappeared in front of the eyes of the two.
"It's a second-order ghost of the Earth Realm, but it's more powerful than all of last night combined. Riccardo said.
Dahl looked at the dead earth tiger in the distance, and suddenly said: "They entered the body of that demonic beast, and then it shrank rapidly, could it be said that its life was absorbed by those ghosts, and Zuihou became that new ghost? Is this kind of thing accidental or inevitable, or is it a way for ghosts to improve their strength? But haven't ghosts lost all their memories and consciousness in life, and they will still do such a thing?" Could it be that the appearance of the miracle flower changed these ghosts and caused them to change like this?"
"Dahl, isn't the Miracle Flower the ghost's nemesis?"
"Have you forgotten, the Miracle Flower also has an effect of returning the soul of the deceased to his previous body, and aren't these ghosts the soul of the dead in the past changed? If you have to have a strong strength to get close to the miracle flower, then the ghosts will definitely do whatever it takes to improve their strength, and the ghost's desire for life is beyond our comprehension of the living. ”
"God-level ghosts, this can't be?" Riccardo shouted.
"Weishenme can't be, do you know how many ghosts there are in here? Not to mention thousands, there were at least a thousand of them who besieged us yesterday, and the hundreds of ghosts just now fused together to have the strength of the earth, what about the thousand, ten thousand, and even all the ghosts in the Death Canyon? However, it seems that they can't be fused directly, as if they must have a medium, by the way, the medium, just like the earth tiger just now, only the life energy of the living can make them fuse with each other, I'm afraid this is the real reason why the two of us were able to attract so many ghosts yesterday. ”
"They want to enter our bodies and absorb our life to promote their evolution?" Riccardo said.
"I'm afraid that's the case, you see, these ghosts in the daytime, it should be that the desire for life has reached an irrepressible point, knowing that the sun has a great harm to them, but still come out without hesitation to find the traces of the living, what a terrible obsession this is, if these ghosts during the day evolve into more advanced individuals, I think they should be much stronger than the ghosts at night. ”
Sure enough, that night, Dahl and the others witnessed the same number of ghosts as during the day after absorbing the life of a demon ape, and the ghost that appeared was only the strength of the first level of the earth realm, and was torn to pieces by the companion of the same junior demon beast, although this could not make him die, but it also confirmed Dahl's words.
Since Dahl was the two most powerful people in the vicinity, and their life energy was like two suns in the eyes of the ghosts, they were still besieged by a huge number of ghosts, and among these ghosts, there were even several high-level ghosts of the third order or so of the realm. However, it was only a matter of time before they were eliminated in the face of Dahl's near-inexhaustible vindictive attacks, and that very night, Dahl had seen the inflective and dazzling magic that erupted in many places, and it seemed that someone was fighting the ghosts like them.
When one of Zuihou's ghosts was eliminated by Riccardo, Dahl said to him, "We must find the miracle flower as soon as possible, but it is difficult for the two of us to do so, and it seems that we need to find some obedient collaborators." ”
The two of them ran towards the place where they had just found the other adventurers, and when they came to a place lined with rocks, they saw a bonfire there, and these humans were sitting around it.
"Captain, we've lost three people, I think we should get out of here right now. "I think these ghosts are not the same as they were in previous years, they are even crazier now. ”
"Carlos, you must know that high income means high risk, once we get the Miracle Flower, then what will we get?" said an eighth-order knight of the Earth Realm.
"Then you have to have a life, I heard that the team that entered the God of War Temple here earlier has all been wiped out, they are all a team composed of the peak of the ninth order, for this God of War Temple is very angry, I heard that several Heaven Rank masters have been transferred from their headquarters, captain, do you think we can compete with them?"
"You...... Are you telling the truth?" said the knight, "and let's leave, I don't want to mess with them." ”
Dahl and Riccardo on the side left from the air, and they came to a short distance and fell, "Do you hear, the team at the peak of the ninth order of the earth realm is dead, which means that there will be many high-level ghosts appearing, but I don't know if they have reached the heavenly level, and there is another question, will they merge with each other?" Riccardo said, "Below the third order of the heavenly order, I can kill you as many as you come, if it is the same level as me, plus you, it is no problem, as for the higher level than me, it is difficult to say." ”
"Riccardo, let's not talk about this, you have more knowledge than me, did you have any visions when the miracle flower appeared, we can't find a way to do it like this. ”
"It is said that when the Miracle Flower appears, there will be a colorful light flashing in the sky, and the different colors will change together, and directly below them is the location of the Miracle Flower, and if such a scene appears, the Miracle Flower should be there. ”
As soon as Riccardo finished speaking, far away from the two of them, a red light suddenly appeared in the sky, and then, green, blue, purple, yellow and other lights appeared at the same time, like a rainbow constantly changing, illuminating the entire night sky colorfully.
"Isn't it, such a coincidence?" exclaimed Dahl, who had just asked if there were any signs, and it was incredible.
"Let's go, let's take a look!" The two immediately burst out with a strong fighting spirit, no longer retaining their strength, and flew towards the target, while the few people below suddenly found Da who was plundering from the sky and shouted: "God...... Sky...... Heavenly Rank Master, Carlos, you're right, I suddenly remembered that I still haven't eaten dinner, let's go to my house to eat. ”
"Haode, Captain!" Before the words fell, several people spread their legs and ran, for fear that Yujian would have something terrible.
When Dahl and the others had already seen the colorful glow, several figures suddenly flashed in front of them, and they saw several knights in blood-red armor stop them.
"What do you want to do?" Dahl asked with a frown, not wanting to make a fuss at this point.
"Why, boy, don't you forget, do you want to be so white when you hit our people?" said the leader, and Dahl noticed a guy with a pig's head standing on the ground beneath their feet, kicking Dahl viciously.
"Lord Liddick, I suspect that he is an infidel, and such a fellow should be immediately taken to the Inquisition and hanged!" cried the pig-headed man below.
"It's ridiculous, you Throne of Glory are too good at buttoning hats, you and I don't know each other, how can you say that you are infidels?" Dahl sneered.
"Boy, whether you're a heretic or not, it's not wrong that you hit my man. ”
"So what, the garbage of an earth realm dares to provoke me, who is a heavenly rank, what does it matter if I teach him a lesson?"
"Hehe, then as a second-order Heavenly Order, it's not too much for me to teach you a lesson from the first level of the Heavenly Order, right?" Li Dike said.
"You can try!" Dahl said.
"Look for death!" Li Dik said angrily, in an instant, a pair of hands wrapped around thunder and lightning attacked Dahl's head, Li Dik showed a contemptuous smile, but a little guy who had just been promoted to the heavenly rank, this was a little lesson, but his eyes froze in the next second, only to see Dahl easily catch his fists, and from the other party's hands came a huge liliang.
"How so?" Lidick said in disbelief, Dahl took advantage of the situation to rush into his arms, and hit his heart with his right elbow, Lidick spurted out a mouthful of blood and flew out upside down, and then, Dahl had a side kick that hit the cheek of a knight on the right, and the huge impact directly jumped off at least half of the teeth in his mouth, and when the third knight just reacted, Dahl's heavy punch had already smashed into his face, and he screamed and was beaten down from the air, and in an instant, Liddick and the three were all repulsed.
"Riccardo, leave these people to me, you go and get the miracle flower!" Dahl said as he used the fighting energy of his whole body, just three simple attacks were not enough to kill the other party, so in the next moment, Dahl had already used his strongest Liliang and came to Liddick's side.
Liddick was shocked and angry, he didn't expect a kid from the Heavenly Rank to hurt him, and just as he was depressed, Dahl appeared behind him, and a sharp pain came from his back, and at the same time, there was a sound of bones being overwhelmed. Dald was unforgiving, and in a very short period of time at a very fast speed, he attacked his back dozens of times in a row, until the armor he was wearing on his back was completely shattered, a pair of big hands were tightly attached to the surface of Li Dick's exposed body, and the earth-shattering palm of all nations triggered by the dragon's fighting qi instantly penetrated Li Dick's body with powerful destructive power, and the powerful fighting qi broke through his chest, and the blood rain in the sky sprinkled on the pig-headed man who was already terrified on the ground.
Dahl turned his head, looked at the remaining Heavenly Steps, and said, "It's your turn!"
The guy screamed in fright, turned his head and ran, and Dahl's hands were entangled in flames again, as if the ancient beast had awakened, and two fire dragon fighting qi waves that were larger and more powerful than before, spurted out, and rushed towards the heavenly step, and in his desperate eyes, after hitting his body fiercely, there was a violent explosion.
At this moment, the Heavenly Dahl's whole body was filled with golden fighting qi around the blood-red thunder and lightning, like a god of war!
