Chapter Ninety-Four: Banshee Xiaozi
The honest man Long Yi honestly took on the task of eliminating the bad guys, and against these guys, Long Yi didn't even use the dragon sword, and when he raised his hand, all kinds of spell missiles were thrown, and these undead creatures had no resistance at all, and most of them died in a blink of an eye.
At this moment, a terrible howl suddenly came from the depths of the forest, and suddenly, these skeleton soldiers and zombies in front of them all appeared with a light blue light, and in the dragon's eyes, the mana that was originally lurking underground actually gathered on the bodies of those undead creatures, and a trace of cold air emanated from them.
Long Yi smiled, still flying with spell missiles, but it was obvious that he could no longer shatter a single missile. However, you can still smash one with a spell missile!
This made little difference to the undead, who fell one after the other, without even a struggle or a wail.
The more he fought, the more confused Long Yi became, this was a little different from the undead creatures in his memory. Although Long Yi has never seen it with his own eyes, it is said in the literature that undead creatures are not dead things, but living things. By some coincidence, or under the influence of some spell, the dead life regains all or part of its consciousness, and at the same time, the decaying body also stops decaying. And all undead creatures must be supported by a strong force, so as to maintain the functioning of the body and the immortality of the body. Therefore, the undead must have a certain strength.
Some mages have specialized in the creation of the undead, and their ultimate goal is to try to resurrect a large number of death-defying undead creatures on the battlefield to sway a war. However, various experiments have found that it takes a lot of time and effort to turn a corpse back into an undead creature. Eventually, due to the lack of research results and the pressure of ethics and morality, these necromancers were rejected by many mages and gradually disappeared from people's sight. Rumor has it that some necromancers have developed a way to control a large number of necromancers, but at this time, the study of necromancy has become marginal, and this rumor has just disappeared. As for whether it was forgotten or secretly controlled, no one knows.
And these skeletons and zombies in front of them obviously can't be called creatures, they can only be called other objects. They have no autonomous consciousness and are completely controlled by some hidden master.
And, to be honest, Long Yi thinks that this black hand is not very clever, so inexplicably listing a large number of corpses in front of the road, not so much because he wants to kill, but more like he doesn't want people to enter.
Thinking of this, Long Yi suddenly stopped, and then shouted: "Hey, I said that the mastermind behind the scenes, you don't want us to go in, if that's the case, you control them and nod, let's leave!"
Erin and Bajie have been following Long Yi step by step, and when they heard Long Yi say this, Erin asked suspiciously, "Will he let us go?"
The dragon smiled: "Look." ”
Erin looked up, only to see a group of zombies and skeletons nodding their heads, and even one skeleton's jaw was shaken off.
Long Yi pouted: "It seems that we have broken into someone else's house, since we are not welcome, we should just leave, since we are not monsters, it has nothing to do with our mission, it is not interesting for us to stay here, let's go." ”
So, Bajie shook in front of him to open the way, Erin carefully grabbed Long Yi's arm, and the two of them turned around and prepared to leave.
"Wait a minute!"
Suddenly, a timid voice sounded from behind, sounding as if it still had an echo.
Ryuichi and Erin turned back together, only to see a translucent little girl of eight or nine years old standing timidly not far behind them, her hands folded in front of them. She was dressed as a maid common in aristocratic families, but her black skirt was full of signs of decay and dilapidation. Two black ponytails were tied on both sides, and a pair of eyes were large, but the bottom of the eyes flashed with strange ghostly fire. Looking down again, the little girl did not fall to the ground, but was completely floating in the air with bare feet.
"Banshee?"
Long Yi asked.
"En......" The little girl's eyes darkened, and she bowed her head in response.
Banshees are an extremely rare existence among the undead. Most undead creatures need their bodies to maintain the existence of consciousness and the stability of their strength, such undead creatures range from ordinary skeletons to zombies, and of course, there are also ridiculously powerful guys such as undead dragon knights.
The banshee, on the other hand, completely abandons the body and relies on her own powerful consciousness to forcibly condense all the energy and soul into a spirit body. In comparison, banshees are extremely good mind controllers and spellcasters. Due to the absence of physical bodies, banshees can almost completely ignore physical attacks, and they also have good immunity to fighting energy. But in the face of spells, their bodies are extremely fragile. Therefore, banshees usually use their spiritual power to enslave some slaves to protect themselves.
So, everything makes sense, these almost ineffective undead puppets are completely the means of this little banshee.
"Something?"
Ryuichi asked.
"Excuse me...... Mighty warrior, can you do me a favor?"
The little girl still asked timidly, lowering her head, her eyes not daring to look at Long Yi at all.
"Did I mishear? You're asking me for help?"
Long Yi was puzzled, what the hell is this little banshee.
"Yes, I ask for your help!"
The little banshee raised her head, her eyes full of courage. The dragon who watched it was inexplicable for a while, and thought, am I so terrifying? Where did he know that you unreasonable fierce goods rushed in and smashed a bunch of other people's puppets, and people can still have the courage to talk to you, which is already very brave!
"Hey, in fact, we have other tasks......" Long Yi just spoke, but Erin jerked Long Yi's arm on the side, Long Yi looked down, only to see Erin's eyes full of love looking at the little banshee, and said: "Brother Long, listen first......"
"Okay...... Say it!" Long Yi was helpless, there was no sign of spell casting in the air, and in the face of a magic fighter like Erin, a mage killer, it was difficult for ordinary spells to control her spirit, this little girl was definitely overflowing with love. But then again, this little banshee is indeed sweet, although she has not grown up, she is already well-proportioned, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and her small round face has two expressions of cowardice and strength, which is even more cute.
If it is according to Long Yi's habits, he is not a beauty savior, and we can't agree to everything just because the little girl is cute, right? However, since Erin is interested, let's listen to it, anyway, the two of them don't have any specific destinations to go to.
It turned out that the little girl's name was Xiao Zi. Although he looks young, he has actually lived alone in this forest for hundreds of years. For hundreds of years, she has been the owner of the nearby mountains and forests, and although she lives alone, it is peaceful. But recently, there have been monsters breaking into the mountains and forests. This monster beast is extremely powerful, and has tried to encroach on Xiao Zi's territory many times. The dispute continued, and the demon beast actually infected many creatures in the mountains and forests, and began to attack Xiao Zi's territory, Xiao Zi had no choice but to continue to rely on his natural instincts, constantly collect corpses, make them into puppets, and control them to fight themselves. But instinctively, it was the opponent of the crazy monsters, and was soon crushed and driven to the edge of the forest.
And what Xiao Zi asked was to hope that Long Yi could help her drive the monster away.
"And I won't let you fight for nothing! I have some treasures to give you as a reward!"
Xiao Zi said very seriously.
"Monster ......"
The dragon smiled, it didn't take any effort to get here!
"Okay, that's on me. Long Yi patted his chest and reassured.
"You...... Just believe me?" asked Xiao Zi strangely.
"Why don't you believe you?" Ryuichi was surprised.
"Because, I'm a banshee. Xiao Zi said.
"Why are you a banshee, so I shouldn't believe you?" Ryuichi was even more strange.
"This ......" Xiao Zi couldn't figure it out at all, in her memory, the banshee was a very terrifying existence in the impression of ordinary humans. Although the person in front of him is a dragon knight and is not afraid of banshees, he shouldn't trust a banshee so much, right?
Now that they agreed, the undead who blocked the door were of no use, and a group of puppets dug a hole for themselves and buried themselves. Even if there was no hostility, Erin was still very afraid to hide behind Bajie, and completely blocked herself with Bajie's wide and fat body. It wasn't until there was no sound in front of me that he poked his head out. The Shadow Dragon also descended from the sky and landed on Ryuichi's shoulder.
Xiao Zi walked in front to lead the way, Long Yi and they followed behind, in the dragon's eyes, although Xiao Zi's was floating in the air, there were mana flowing out of her toes, converging on the ground, constantly lowering the surrounding temperature.
Without the hideous corpse, Erin regained her liveliness again, and it can be seen that she likes Xiao Zi very much, and asks a lot along the way. And Xiao Zi is also very polite, and her every move is even more standard than some of the ladies.
"Xiao Zi, this name of yours should be the name of some kind of tree, right? Azusa tree, right? This is a boy's name, right?"
Erin thought of another question and leaned over to ask.
"Well, Dad always wanted a boy, and he even gave him a name in advance, and I turned out to be a girl. My father didn't like me and sold it to that ...... at the age of five That bastard!"
Xiao Zi said through gritted teeth.
