Section 83 Poisonous Roots

The white-robed wizard watched silently as Laughran adjusted his posture in the groove, and whispered, "Are you ready?"

Laughlan nodded, and he tried to lie down as flat as he could, allowing his body to stretch.

In the next second, his clothes disappeared in an instant, revealing a dry body.

The white-robed wizard chanted a low incantation, and translucent lids immediately closed on either side of the groove.

Bang Bang!

A few mechanical snaps sounded, and Laughlen was completely sealed in the coffin-like container.

Through the translucent container, Lance could see his body clearly.

The part of his chest below the heart was pure blue-gray, his feet had begun to rot, and only three toes of one of his feet were left, and the other two were gone, and a large hole had been made in his knee, and the rotten skin was turned out, revealing the same dry and senile flesh.

"His body couldn't hold on anymore. The white-robed wizard had a look of sadness in his eyes and whispered, "He has no way out." ”

Lance was speechless, but he was a little curious, if the operation was successful, he should be able to recover, right?

"Let's get started!"

Laughron's voice was muffled and came from the container.

The white-robed wizard nodded, he walked quickly to the edge of the container, fumbled for a few switch-like things, and pressed it.

A short time later, there was a creaking sound, and Lance saw several sealed black crockpots appear next to Laughron. There are six crockpots, four of which appear on either side of Lauchran's legs. The other two were found under his armpits.

"If your mental capacity is not so strong, I suggest that you should not watch the next scene. The white-robed wizard glanced at Lance and said quickly, "Once this ritual begins, every step is very ...... Cruel. ”

Lance shook his head and said, "Thank you for the reminder, but I'm also a wizard, and I've seen some very brutal scenes. ”

Seeing that Lance was stubborn, the other party didn't say much, just took out a three-foot-long staff and gestured at the small crockpots in the container.

The tip of his staff faintly appeared with the aura of a spell factor, and soon. Under Lance's gaze. The lids of those little crockpots suddenly began to rotate slowly.

The white-robed wizard's spell seemed to awaken something, and the container suddenly became less quiet, but there was a buzzing sound.

Lance watched the scene intently, and by this time the lid of the crockpot had been completely opened. Two slender tentacles protrude from within.

Then a black beetle with sharp teeth crawled out of itβ€”no. It's not so much that he crawled out on his own initiative. It's better to be knocked out by the companion behind him.

One after another, dense black beetles poured out of the six crockpots, and soon crawled all the places below Laughron's chest. Every inch of blue-gray skin. There are traces of several black beetles.

Seeing this scene, Lance couldn't help but feel a little itchy, and goosebumps had already appeared.

The entire container was littered with the traces of this black beetle, but to Lance's surprise, the beetles did not attack Lauchran, but crawled aimlessly on their own. Occasionally, two beetles huddled together, and the apparently aggressive creature left for battle. Their mouthparts were covered with sharp teeth, and Lance looked closer, and found that this creature had six rows of ratchets in its tiny mouthparts!

"What kind of bug is this?" asked Lance.

"Eat dead insects. They love to eat the dead, and they only eat the dead. Corpses have an irresistible allure for them. The white-robed wizard responded, "Don't underestimate these guys, they can eat the carcass of a deep sea whale in a second...... Provided, of course, that is, the corpse. ”

Lance vaguely understood.

In the container, except for the black beetle, the part above Laughlen's chest was shrouded in a faint yellow glow. A pale yellow bead appeared on his forehead, and this was the treasure [Pearl of Salvation] that had always protected him from dying under the poison.

Lance saw that there were already many cracks on this pearl of salvation, and it was obvious that it wouldn't take long.

Laughren watched his body crawl with worms, and then opened his mouth with difficulty.

The pearl of redemption slowly fell, and he took it in his mouth. At the same time, he uttered a slurred incantation, and his body began to stiffen.

Soon, the outer part of the pearl of salvation began to take on a completely corrupted grayish-black color.

"Did he put himself in suspended animation?"

Looking at Lauchlan, who suddenly closed his eyes and seemed unconscious, Lance immediately understood what he meantβ€”he wanted the Death Eaters to mistake him for dead!

Sure enough, as soon as Lauchren "died", these beetles opened their mouths excitedly and frantically tore at Lauchran's flesh!

The scene was so ferocious that Lance was so cold from head to foot that it was almost cold.

The white-robed wizard was indeed not lying, the speed at which the death-eating insects ate the corpses was extremely amazing, and almost after two breaths, most of Laughran's body was left with only one skeleton left!

All the flesh and fascia were devoured by these greedy death-eating insects.

However, it was at this time that Lance noticed that some of the Death Eaters themselves began to stiffen and remain motionless after eating Laughron's body.

"The resistance of the Death Eaters to toxins is not invincible, not to mention the poison of the Smok Poison Dragon, these insects eat the flesh of Laughran, and I am afraid that they will inevitably die. ”

Lance forced himself to ignore the murderous scene and began to analyze it calmly.

That said, this did not stop the rest of the Death Eaters from coming forward, as they did not seem to see the tragic death of their companions at all, but scrambled to pounce on them, devouring the harder skeletons.

Seeing this scene, Lance had a deeper understanding of what the white-robed wizard had said before, "corpses have an irresistible temptation for them".

After another three breaths. All the skeletons were devoured.

The entire container was littered with the corpses of dead eating insects. And Lauchron's body is only left with his ribcage, neck and head. Some of his limbs had already been buried in the belly of a death-eating insect.

"If you want to get rid of the toxins in his body, you can only use this most extreme method. The white-robed voice came faintly: "The toxin has already penetrated into every inch of his body, except for the chest cavity and skull protected by the Pearl of Redemption, the rest of the place is deeply planted with the [poisonous root] of the Smok Poison Dragon. The poison root is rooted in the skeletal muscles of the human body, and no amount of clever antidote can drive out the poison dragon's toxin, the reason is that even if the toxin is removed from the body, as long as the poison root is still there, the toxin can continue to be produced. ”

"It's even more terrifying. The toxin produced by the poison root consumes the nutrients of the human body itself. It's a spiritual toxin -- oh no, it's not so much a toxin as a parasite in a different form. If you want to solve this problem completely, you can only pull out the [poisonous root]. And the Death Eater is the only creature that dares to devour such poisonous flesh. Their speed of devouring flesh was also a big reason for choosing them......"

Under the explanation of the white robe. Lance gradually understood the key to this ritual. It is useless to simply abandon this part of the body. Only the devouring speed of the Death Eater could prevent the poisonous root from erupting with terrifying power before it died and spread to the area protected by the Pearl of Salvation.

By the time the two were talking, all the dead eating insects in the container had turned into corpses. Laughren snorted and woke up from suspended animation.

As soon as he woke up, layers of cold sweat broke out on his head, and the huge pain obviously hit his nerves at this moment, and it was already amazing that he didn't faint again.

Somehow, Lance suddenly remembered what had happened to him in the Whispering Forest before entering Ferendor.

If it weren't for the help of Higgins the woodpecker and Tilansius the neon deer in the Celestial Realm, I am afraid that he would have been devoured by those demons a long time ago, and how similar is the scene at that time to what happened to Laughren now?! Until now, Lance still has a small bottle of the saliva of the celestial deer mixed with a powerful healing potion in his hand.

Laughlen asked with a pale face, "The poisonous root has been removed?"

The white robe nodded and said, "You can start the next step." ”

With that, he stepped aside and pushed open the other door to the chamber. After a while, a tall, straight young man walked out with a pale face.

"Rameau, if you regret it now, it's too late. ”

The white robe whispered.

Although the young man looked terrified, his will was very firm: "If it weren't for Lord Laughlen, our family would have perished many years ago. Now, when it's time for me to die for my lordship, how can I retreat?"

The white robe said no more. Next to the translucent container, a copper pillar appeared, and several loops of silver rope hung from the copper pillar, and he motioned for Ramo to walk over.

Ramo stood with his back to the bronze pillar, and the silver rope immediately came to life and bound him firmly.

"Remember, you can't resist! if you resist, the ceremony will fail, and the adults will lose their only chance, understand?" said the white robe.

Rameau nodded firmly.

Lance noticed that behind the copper pillar, there was a thick conduit that connected to the transparent container where Laughren was.

The white robe quickly walked to the other side of the secret room, which was a place like an operating table, and he quickly clicked a few runes of different colors.

Soon, the bronze pillar suddenly became extremely soft, and the silver rope tightly bound Ramo, slowly merging his body into the copper pillar until it disappeared.

Lance narrowed his eyes slightly, and through the thin copper skin, the eagle eye immediately found that the inside of the copper pillar was hollow.

"Stop peeking with spells. The white robe said lightly: "Unless you want to go without food for three days." ”

Lance was stunned for a moment, and before he could speak, the young man in the bronze pillar he saw in front of him suddenly exploded into a cloud of blood mist!

Broken human skin, a few severed fingers, messy hair......

Inside the bronze pillar, these things floated eerily. It also impacted Lance's vision. (To be continued......)
