Chapter 10: The Necromancer
The sparrow slowed down, swooped down, and flew near the circle surrounded by zombies, hovering in mid-air at a height of dozens of meters. At this time, the night was deep, and the blood-colored moon in the night sky was dim, and if it weren't for the amazing night vision ability staring at the night sky, it would not be possible to detect a giant bird hovering in mid-air.
Li Nuo inherited the beast soul of Beamon, his eyes were keen, and the situation below was clearly visible.
Although the number of zombies in a circle is unknown, it is estimated that there are hundreds, and they are all rotten and terrifying. This large group of zombies formed a circle about fifty meters in diameter, and there were twelve round platforms scattered in the circle, arranged in two circles, one large and one small, six in each circle. In the center of the circle is a rectangular platform, slightly wider at one end and narrower at the other, and when viewed from mid-air, it looks like a coffin.
There was a black-robed man with a hood standing on each round platform, and Li Nuo felt familiar, and he couldn't help but think of the black-robed man who could manipulate his blood in the dark room of the earth. Although they met in different worlds, they were dressed exactly the same, but unfortunately they couldn't see the eyes of the black-robed man below, and they didn't know if they were red. The coffin-like platform was empty.
Looking carefully at the round platform and the empty high platform under the feet of the black-robed man, Li Nuo suddenly felt that his scalp was numb, and the round platform and the high platform were actually made of dense skeletons and skulls, and the number was unknown.
"What kind of evil method is this?" said Li Nuo in horror.
"It's the Undead Summoning Circle. "The round platform made of skeletons, if connected in a straight line, should be a six-pointed star array, and the black-robed man on it should be the apostle of the necromancer." The high platform in the center is the altar, which is used for tribute offerings. ”
Caique knew that his master was an idiot in terms of common sense in the mainland, and explained: "The necromancer is also a metamorphosis of the original soul, and like the beast master, he cannot master the power of the elements, but he can control the undead, and the higher the level of the necromancer, the higher the level of the undead that can be controlled." The Apostle is a follower of the necromancer, most of whom were originally low-level warriors, but after the necromancer's blood sacrifice, the martial spirit has undergone a mutation and is able to manipulate blood. ”
"Manipulating blood?" Li Nuo thought of the black-robed man on Earth again, if it weren't for the mirror that took him through space, maybe his blood would have been drained long ago. I was puzzled again, the world in the mirror is full of magical colors, and it is not strange that such a creature as an apostle appears, but the earth is a real modern civilized world, how can there be an apostle? Could it be that the earth also has an unknown side?
"Now it seems that the dried corpses of the armor that I encountered earlier were drained of blood by these apostles. But don't worry, these apostles are very low-level, and they can only control the blood of mortals, whether it is a beginner-level martial spirit, a primordial soul, or a beast soul, they can't do anything. ”
"What's the use of this summoning circle?"
"High-level undead can be summoned. I told you that high-level undead are limited by the laws of the continent and cannot come to the Zhuyin Continent from the Netherworld. However, by summoning the magic circle, you can temporarily avoid the laws of the continent, open the passage between the netherworld and the continent, and let the high-level undead come to the continent. ”
"What level of undead can this circle summon?"
"I don't know. However, the level should not be low, at least it is a high-level undead, and its strength is equivalent to that of a high-level demonic beast. Of course, this is only theoretical, Scorpion Moko's Dark Fire naturally restrains the undead, even if it is a high-level undead, it will only become his good meal, so you don't have to worry. ”
As he spoke, the night grew thicker, and the blood moon moved overhead.
There was a commotion of the zombies below, and a gap opened in the circle that formed a circle. A black-robed man with the same hood on his chest held a white figure on his chest, walked through the zombie crowd, and walked step by step to the central altar.
The black-robed man was tall, a head taller than the others, and the white figure in his arms looked much smaller in comparison. The tall gray-robed man walked up to the altar and placed the white figure on his back on the high platform, standing to his side.
Li Nuo couldn't see the face of the white figure clearly, and he could tell from the figure that it was a woman in a white robe. The white-robed woman lay motionless on the skull-made altar, not knowing whether she was dead or alive. Then he asked Caique, "Is the woman dead?"
"No, the sacrifice requires living beings. The black-robed man beside her has a strong undead aura, and he must be a necromancer. ”
"Can you tell the level?"
"It should be a high-level necromancer. However, high-level undead are hard to find, and most high-level necromancers can only find mid-level undead servants. This summoning circle may have been used by him to summon high-level undead servants. ”
The tall black-robed man laid his left hand flat, the five fingers of his right hand were slightly closed, and the fingertips were placed on the palm of his left hand, making a strange gesture, and there were words in his mouth. He muttered for more than ten minutes, when he suddenly raised his hands and shouted, "Ella!"
The other twelve black-robed apostles around him raised their hands and shouted in unison, "Erra......"
"Ara!"
"Ara!"
......
A shout resounded through the night sky, and the six skeleton platforms on the periphery lit up with blood at the same time, and two bloody tears flowed out of the eye sockets of each skeleton, which instantly dyed the round platform red. The blood flows down the round platform continuously, and the blood flowing down each round is divided into four strands, two of which flow to both sides in an arc shape, and connect with the blood flowing from the adjacent round platform to form a circle;
Li Nuo looked down from mid-air, and the blood flowing from the six blood-colored round platforms finally formed a circle and two triangles. The two triangles, one straight and one upside down, are arranged intersecting, and are set in a circle to form a huge six-pointed star. Li Nuo was shocked, how much blood does it take to make up this six-pointed star? The blood of the armor corpse found in the evening is probably here.
After the six-pointed star was formed, the six round platforms inside glowed with blood, and each one flowed a blood streak towards the central altar, like a flame lit along a tubing, burning the altar into a sea of blood and fire in an instant.
The shouts of the necromancer and his twelve black-robed apostles became fierce, and the sea of blood and fire burning on the altar swelled, dyeing the night sky above a blood-red color, echoing the blood moon in the sky.
The giant bird hovering in mid-air could no longer hide its body and was exposed to everyone's eyes. Li Nuo suddenly felt a pair of gray eyes and twelve pairs of crimson eyes shoot at the same time, and couldn't help but smile embarrassedly, and beckoned to say hello: "HI!"
The necromancer's gloomy gaze sank, and he shouted in a hoarse voice, "Who is it?"
Looking at his gloomy expression that he could unscrew into the water, it was obvious that he was extremely dissatisfied with the summoning circle that someone was peeking at him, if it weren't for the giant bird being in mid-air, he would have called the zombies to pounce.
Li Nuo urgently whispered: "I want to save that white-robed man." Later, Xiaohong will deal with the zombies, Xiaocai will deal with the necromancer and apostle, and Xiaoyin and I will go to save people. "Xiao Cai is his name for the color bird.
When the little red lion heard that he could eat the undead again, he cheered, jumped directly from the giant bird's back, his body became larger in the air, and a pair of fleshy wings on his back spread widely, gliding down. One of his fleshy wings is still too thin and light to fly, but it is not a problem to use it as a glider.
The giant lion glided over the zombie group, and without waiting for its body to hit the ground, it roared, and the end of the scorpion tail was like a soldering iron just taken out of the furnace, red and dazzling, and the tip of the tail flexibly drew a pattern, and a pillar of fire suddenly emerged from the zombie group, spinning and spreading, and immediately incinerated the surrounding zombies. One by one, the resentful spirits appeared, and they didn't have time to escape, and they were all sucked into the giant mouth by the giant lion, and none of them were missed.
The giant bird swooped down and landed near the altar, shrinking its body as it landed, turning into a sparrow, and putting down Li Nuo and the silver monkey. Rainbow Sparrow is a magical beast that fights in the opposite way of being a manticore. The larger the manticore, the stronger the strength, and the magic of the sparrow requires a dance, the smaller the body, the more agile it is, and the more complex it can perform.
As soon as Li Nuo landed, he immediately rushed to the altar. The silver monkey sat lazily on his shoulder, and had no intention of helping at all.
The sparrow flapped its wings and flew into the air, dancing, and countless whirlwind-like cyclones centered on her and spread out in all directions, these cyclones were erratic, but they seemed to have eyes, avoiding Li Nuo's path.
The black-robed necromancer was not frightened by the sudden change, but his gray eyes showed a greedy look. He exclaimed excitedly, "It's a manticore! Haha, the Almighty Hades." ”
The Manticore is originally from the Netherworld, has undead qualities, and can also make contracts with necromancers. The Manticore Lion is strong, has the space to grow into a Xuan-rank, and is an ordinary undead nemesis, and its value is far better than that of other high-level undead.
As Caique expected, although this necromancer has reached a high level, there are no high-level undead. If he usually encounters a manticore, he can only flee in the wilderness, but now that the summoning circle has been completed, he can use the power of the large array to forcibly sign an undead contract with the manticore.
This summoning circle has a huge effect, hiding a terrifying conspiracy. The necromancer didn't want to make a difference, but the scorpanticore's allure to him was too great, and fortunately, this circle had the effect of summoning and signing a contract at the same time, and he could continue to carry out his long-planned plot after signing the contract with the manticore.
As for the bird-shaped demonic beast that could change size, although it looked extraordinary, as long as his apostles and zombies stopped for a moment, and after he had ambushed the manticore, it was not too late to clean up. And that human being, directly ignored by him.
The necromancer had an extra staff of a foot long in his hand, and he recited a spell in his mouth, and the six-pointed star array was full of blood, and a six-pointed star of the same size was peeled off from the large array, and while rising into the air, it quickly shrunk, and when it stopped in the air at a height of five meters, the shape was only the size of a palm.
The necromancer pointed his wand at the shrunken six-pointed star, and there seemed to be an invisible thread between the two, and the six-pointed star followed the guidance of the wand and moved towards the giant lion. The necromancer's face showed a look of struggle, as if a palm-sized six-pointed star weighed more than a thousand pounds.
