He put away the sword in his hand and rushed out of the woods to the basin, only to see a huge magical barrier rising high and spreading rapidly from the center of the Spirit Ruins. Beneath that barrier, countless black auras symbolizing death spread around, completely enveloping the ruins. The palpitating darkness made Chen Liu, who was thousands of meters away, involuntarily retreat.

Not only that, but a gust of wind blew, and there was a faint fishy smell in the air.

"That'...... What is it?"

Seeing that the black aura even covered the sunlight, and there was a faint phantom of the undead hovering and screaming on the enchantment sky, Chen Liu's face turned pale and he stammered and asked.

Lu Chengfeng couldn't confirm it at the first time, so he didn't answer him, but just stared at the direction of the ruins with a serious face.

In just a dozen seconds, the huge enchantment was completely completed, isolating the ruins in it. Several mercenaries who had just entered were frightened when they saw the abnormality and fled desperately. It's a pity that only one person was lucky enough to run out, and the other two were a step late, entangled by the black aura, and suddenly couldn't break free. After a few minutes of waiting, the two resumed their operations, but they were already blood-red, hungry zombies!

It was an undead creature that was at least a fourth-order!

"Actually turned into an undead?"

Seeing that the two mercenaries who failed to escape turned into red zombies, Lu Chengfeng's face became serious. Although he still hadn't seen the origin of the magic array, its general purpose Lu Chengfeng was already clear. Isolate and seal the area, and at the same time erode the mercenaries inside into undead.

Although he couldn't see the situation in the depths of the ruins, Lu Chengfeng could imagine that a large number of mercenaries who had entered the search had begun to transform into undead. A small number of masters are resisting the erosion of the magic array, and at the same time, they have to fight with their former subordinates and friends, and the situation must be very difficult.

Who is doing such a crazy thing?

Lu Chengfeng immediately thought of those cultists.

Long before the establishment of the Heavenly Wind Empire, those perverted guys had caused disasters of one kind or another from time to time. In the hundreds of years since the Blood Moon Havoc, these guys seem to have become more and more rampant. They actually used the relics of the Spirit Clan to set a trap and attract all the mercenaries in Kaiyang City, trying to catch them all!

No, maybe the news of this Spirit Clan ruin itself was leaked out by them on their own initiative.

If that's the case......

Several clues were woven in Lu Chengfeng's mind, and he quickly sorted out the truth that was not difficult to speculate. The highly decomposed corpse that he and Chen Liu found before was left behind by the person who planned this mastermind. After arriving here early and laying a trap, those people took the initiative to spread the news with the help of the disciples of the Earth Soul Sect, and then launched a magic array at the best time.

But what is the purpose of those people?

Everyone has a purpose and motivation for doing things, and cultists are no exception. Most of the previous disasters were for the sake of sacrificing to evil gods and gaining power. However, this magic circle, which transforms mercenaries into undead, does not seem to have a sacrificial function. Could it be that it was purely for the sake of killing?

It's a bit unreasonable.

At this time, three more people appeared at the main entrance to the basin from the ruins. Their strength was much higher than that of ordinary mercenaries, and their bodies flickered with fighting energy, resisting the swirling black qi. Two of them possessed Dou Qi armor, at least the sixth order. The other person was in the leading position, and his fighting spirit was extremely strong, and Lu Chengfeng suspected that he had the strength of the seventh order!

This is already a real high-level martial artist.

The two hungry zombies nearby, whose skin had turned red, pounced stiffly when they saw them, but before they could get close to ten meters, they were beaten into slag by the sword qi of the leading seventh-order master!

The black enchantment, although it hindered them to a certain extent, it also failed to stop them, and was rushed out by the three of them.

This discovery made Lu Chengfeng breathe a sigh of relief.

Since people like them can rush out, then many other masters may also survive. It's just that before he could say anything to Chen Liu, he saw several black-clothed people quietly rushing out of the nearby hiding place and killing them like a whirlwind.

Three mercenaries who were at least of the sixth order, resisted the invasion of the magic array, and killed all the way, and it is estimated that the loss is not small. Surrounded by these powerful men in black, he relied on his fighting armor to support him for a while at first, but it didn't take long for the situation to get worse and worse. The two sixth-order swordsmen died one after another, and only the suspected seventh-order master took advantage of the outbreak and suddenly broke out of the encirclement.

"Chase!"

The black-clothed man who was ambushed nearby was very simple, and directly separated half of his men and followed him.

"Is there anyone ambushing nearby?" Chen Liugang wanted to rejoice for the few masters who escaped, but when he saw this scene, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart: "Do you want to delay the time to be discovered as much as possible?"

"Possibly. Lu Chengfeng nodded and said, "This time, there are quite a few masters who have been trapped. It will take enough time for the cultists to get rid of them all, little by little. If the news is revealed as soon as possible, and the top powerhouses of Kaiyang City will reinforce in time, their plans will be greatly discounted, and they will be put into it. ”

"That'...... What should we do" After a moment's hesitation, Chen Liu asked this question.

According to his thoughts, the two of them can run as fast as they can. It is best to return to Kaiyang directly, report the news, and ask many masters in Kaiyang City to come out in person. However, Lu Chengfeng pondered for a while, but gave an answer he didn't expect: "Report or something, it's enough for you to go back alone, I'll stay here and wait." ”

"Boss Lu?" Chen Liu's voice was a little higher, and he said worriedly: "It's very dangerous here, those cultists ......"

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Lu Chengfeng, who booed and pointed to the main entrance. Not long after that seventh-order master escaped, another person actually rushed out of there. That person's strength is far inferior to the previous three masters, at least he doesn't have a fighting armor. However, the cross weapon behind his back emitted a cloud of golden light, effectively helping him resist the invasion of black aura.

It was with the blessing of that golden light that he was able to rush here.

"It's a fifth-order priest!" Lu Chengfeng saw his identity at a glance, and immediately lurked over there, and at the same time said to Chen Liu: "Follow me!"

Chen Liu didn't hesitate, he followed directly, and then asked in a low voice, "Boss Lu wants to save him?"

Lu Chengfeng nodded and said, "If you guess correctly, he should be a member of the Heavenly Apocalypse Sect, specifically dealing with these cultists." There are still a few men in black outside, and if we don't make a move, he will definitely die. Fortunately, the previous Seventh Order led half of the people away, and we have a chance to save him. Listen to me, after I drag those few men in black, you take him to leave immediately, return to the Apocalypse Sect in Kaiyang, and let their masters come over immediately to control the situation!"

"Good. Chen Liu also knew that time was pressing, so he was not hypocritical, so he agreed directly.

Under the bombardment of a cloud of golden energy, the enchantment also failed to stop the fifth-order priest. But just a few steps after he rushed out, the only three remaining men in black who had re-hidden reappeared. The cleric, who was about thirty years old, had just breathed a sigh of relief when he was suddenly attacked, and he couldn't help but be caught off guard. Two sword qi slashed at his body one after another.

If it was an ordinary mercenary, it was likely to be hit hard by these two blows. However, the priesthood will not!

After the Blood Moon Havoc, the priests became accustomed to fighting in plate armor, a thick, sturdy full-body armor that could provide them with maximum protection. What's more, when he rushed out of it, the effect of the guardian badge that the priest had blessed himself was still there. This powerful status skill can comprehensively improve his physical strength and defense ability. Under the dual protection of this invisible enchantment and plate armor, the priesthood resisted two sword qis.

"Damn the cultist!"

Suddenly encountering an ambush, the clergy were in danger. He quickly took two steps back, dodging the pursuit of the other man, his right thumb slightly flexed, and chanted in prayer on his chest. In the next moment, an emerald green, vibrant energy light surged into his body, continuing to repair the wounds in his body.

That's the Slow Healing Skill of the Clergy!

There are guardian badges, there are slow healings, and the priesthood has a little peace of mind. Seeing the three of them following and killing, the priest pointed his right hand together as a sword, pushed forward hard, and released a pure white blade, slightly blocking the enemy's attack. Then, leaning forward, he climbed over the massive cross on his back, engaging the three enemies.

"This guy is a bit powerful. ”

Chen Liu, who was rushing towards this side quickly, couldn't help but exclaim as he watched the series of reactions of the priests.

Lu Chengfeng also recognized the clergyman's unruly counterattack, but he shook his head and said, "The plate armor provides him with strong survivability, but it also limits his speed. Unless this guy can kill all these black-clothed people with one enemy and three enemies, he will fall into a situation where he can't get rid of the enemy and can only fight to the death. ”

Sometimes, the combat power doesn't need to be too high, running fast is the king~

Chen Liu deeply agreed with this, although the clergy can fight with the three of them for the time being, but it is because of the professional characteristics of the clergy. But the power of one person is limited after all, and if he continues to fight, the three of them will always find an opportunity to defeat him. Or, the return of other men in black can also drag this person to death completely.

The cleric was clearly aware of this, and after stabilizing the situation a little, he began to consciously fight and retreat, trying to flee to the distant forest, and then use the terrain to get rid of the enemy.

However, where will the three men in black give him a chance?
