Chapter 319 Necromancer


Chapter 319 Necromancer

“People below the sixth level should not look at the stone tablet, otherwise you won’t know why they are mentally aberrant!”

“There is actually the legendary [Forbidden Ruins Stone Tablet] here. , did any of you understand what it said?"

"It seems to record a fierce battle that took place in the Mausoleum of King Augustus."

"Hmm? , I saw that it seemed to have the name of "Mad King" Alduin on it."

"The subjugated emperor of the Taron Dynasty? Hehe, isn't this the tomb of Alduin?"

"."

Prince Salo and his group are surrounding the stone monument. Research and discussion abound.

There is obviously more than one black stone tablet like this, and a few people in the Southern Continent have heard of it.

But the stone tablet is recorded in real high-level demonic language.

Apparently they didn't understand either.

Since it is suspected that this underground palace is the tomb of Augustus, no one dares to be careless.

Probably wanting to understand the content on the stone tablet before taking action, this group of people pondered for a long time.

Ji Xun watched from afar.

He was also curious about what was written on the black stone tablet.

But judging from the information he knows so far, it seems that everyone sees the content on the stone tablet differently.

Old man Xu found something on the stone tablet that awakened his forgotten memories, Caterina understood the magic solution from the stone tablet, and Jia Yu read the historical truth on the stone tablet.

Ji Xun Himself I also saw some fragmentary information about the "Blood Plague" in the stone tablet in Shangbang Prison.

And almost addicted to it.

He couldn't understand it before, and he didn't think he could understand it now.

After looking at it, he narrowed his eyes.

In Ji Xun's mind, he was thinking about the common points of several stone tablets, and at the same time, a thought came to his mind: Could the existence of the stone tablets be related to divinity?

It seems that this stone tablet needs divine charging to maintain specific functions.

For example: display characters?

But pondering the stone tablet is not a top priority right now.

More importantly, this underground palace gave Ji Xun a very strange feeling.

It was like a poisonous snake crawling up the ankle.

It’s getting clearer and clearer.

The cold feeling has now reached the back of my neck.

No abnormalities were detected.

Not only did Ji Xun not sense it, but neither did the high-level guards and mercenaries.

I can’t tell where this strange sense of crisis comes from.

However, Ji Xun glanced at Old Man Xu who was already shrinking in the corner of the crowd and knew something was wrong.

Now that we have guessed that this is the tomb of the Augustus royal family, everyone can imagine that there is danger.

But looking at the mysterious golden coffin, the burning greed in everyone's eyes still outweighed everything else.

Prince Salo came here for the royal mausoleum. He saw that no one could understand the stone tablet and did not waste any more time. He ordered: "Go and prepare a few people to open the coffin."

As he said, The guards protected the three young nobles, and various restricted cards were placed around them.

A few more war slaves held crowbars and walked tremblingly towards the golden coffin.

Ji Xun also watched with concentration.

He originally thought that the source of danger would be the coffin.

However, no one expected that before several slaves could get close to the coffin, a sudden "bang" sound exploded through the eardrums like a bombardment.

Everyone was shocked.

In the blink of an eye, the three nobles were actually fighting among themselves?

The person who took action was Kaili, the second young master of the "Crimson Duke" family.

He punched Prince Salo next to him.

The sneak attack was close at hand, and the punch caught Salo off guard, and a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

Several guards looked shocked and quickly guarded Salo.

Ji Xun looked at this scene and his eyebrows suddenly condensed with doubts.

Although he guessed that several nobles were definitely not good people.

But it’s not even time to divide the spoils. Isn’t it too early to quarrel?

Prince Salo couldn’t understand either.

He had no intention of sharing the treasure with anyone, but now was not the time to do so.

What’s more, there are also college instructors in the team who are responsible for supervising the assessment.

He shouted loudly: "Kaili, do you know what you are doing?!"

However, to everyone's surprise, when Kaili heard this, the corner of his mouth turned cold. The curvature of the mouth came out, and a hoarse voice that seemed not to be human came out of the throat: "Anyone who breaks into the imperial mausoleum without permission will die!"

The sound was not loud, but it echoed clearly throughout the entire underground palace.

Thousands of people in the trial group had goosebumps all over their bodies, as if they had seen a ghost.

Everyone’s first reaction was: Young Master Kaili is possessed by an evil spirit!

Prince Salo frowned and seemed a little confused.

The guards on the side have already shouted: "Be careful of evil spirits! Use holy light to disperse them quickly!"

After all, they are the elite guards of the royal family, so these people reacted immediately.

Looking at "Kaili" who has changed into a different person, this situation is nothing more than being affected by a mental illusion or being possessed by an evil spirit.

At the first moment, several of Kaili's guards had already rushed forward and pinned their young master down, preparing to exorcise the demon

The Rune Highlands were full of undead monsters. The mercenaries were also prepared.

All kinds of exorcism equipment, purifying holy water, holy light spells, and anti-curse utensils were brought out.

In an instant, the vast space was filled with holy light.

The black energy was dispersed.

Brightness brings peace of mind.

In the distance, Ji Xun looked at this sudden change, and a trace of doubt appeared in his pupils: "It's strange, could it be mental control?"

Normally, high-ranking nobles have no shortage of treasures. of.

That young master Kaili must also have equipment to prevent mysterious means.

If it is really possessed by evil spirits or mentally polluted, it should be easier for others to fall prey to it.

Why did he get hit first?

And not a single ghost was seen in the mausoleum from beginning to end. Where did the evil spirit come from?

With this exclusion, it seems that it can only be controlled by the mental system.

Could it be some kind of unnoticed spiritual monster?

Or some kind of high-level relic?

Ji Xun had a bad feeling.

Although Kaili is only at the fourth level, he is only a hair away from the fifth level. Coupled with the luxurious equipment on his body, he can be attacked silently. The level of this mental spell is probably extremely high. High.

Ji Xun estimated that below the seventh level, it would be difficult to be exempted.

From this point of view, I am afraid that few of the thousands of trial groups can be immune to this strange attack.

But the biggest source of fear is that no one knows how to get infected in Kailidi.

The mercenaries may not have anything good in their hands.

But the three great nobles have plenty of them.

For this trial in Rune Highlands, the nobles prepared a large number of monster equipment and spell cards to deal with the undead.

Hundreds of holy light cards exploded like firecrackers, as well as two seventh-level arcane spell cards [Holy Expulsion].

The card released ripples of white light that rippled throughout the underground palace.

In the underground palace, the dazzling holy light bloomed for a long time.

The smell of money also brings a strong sense of security to people.

"Hahaha, let me just say, it is much safer to follow His Highness the Prince's team"

"That's right. With these high-end cards, all the evil spirits that have existed for thousands of years will be burned to ashes."

"."

The Holy Light revealed the excitement of the mercenaries one by one. face.

This recruitment was so easy for them. They pushed it all the way without encountering any decent obstacles.

The wealth and confidence dispelled the fear in everyone's hearts.

However, as Ji Xun watched, his expression became more solemn: "How did you get tricked?"

He still didn't see what the problem was.

But it is definitely not a small trouble for Old Man Xu to deal with it like this.

And with the large-scale dispersion of holy light just now, if there were any undead monsters in this underground palace, no matter how deeply they were hidden, they should have been exposed by now.

But after the holy light passed, no dead spirit appeared.

Moreover, the expression of Young Master Kaili who was being forced to exorcise demons by the guards was still ferocious.

No matter how advanced the dispelling spell is, it is completely useless!

Until Ji Xun understood, the next moment, the crisis came quietly.

The white light was submerged for a moment, and a strange smile gradually appeared on the faces of not only Young Master Kaili, but also the mercenaries in the team.

They were talking to themselves, repeating the same words: "Anyone who breaks into the imperial mausoleum without permission will die!"

The mercenaries also noticed that there seemed to be some strange guys in the team.

"Lao Liu, what's going on with you? Why are you showing such a scary expression? Also, don't point your damn knife edge at me, you're so scared"

"No, don't Come closer! You see he looks exactly like Master Kaili just now."

"The evil spirit possessed him?"

"."


In an instant, the terror that had just disappeared spread immediately.

Everyone in the entire underground palace was horrified to find that more and more of their friends around them were talking to themselves.

The tiny sounds converged into one, like a spell summoning the god of death to come.

Hearing this sends chills down one’s spine.

Ji Xun also discovered the problem long ago.

He wears a clown mask and can see people's "fear".

These thousands of people originally had a black line of fear more or less on their heads.

But in the blink of an eye, he saw that the black line of fear on someone's head disappeared out of thin air?

It is absolutely impossible for these people to completely block fear.

There must be differences.

First there were dozens of people, then hundreds of people, and finally thousands of people

It seemed that a certain time point had arrived, and they spread in droves.

However, after a few breaths, Ji Xun looked at almost all the mercenaries around him. There was no fear on their bodies, and there was only that weird smile on their face.

Thinking of this, he felt bad: "No! Those guys have been controlled!"

Most of the six to seven thousand people in this underground palace have been controlled.

How?

This unknown method made Ji Xun's scalp feel numb.

The real danger of the royal tomb is coming!

It came so suddenly that it didn’t give anyone a chance to buffer.

At this moment, he didn't care about being exposed or anything, and walked directly to Old Man Xu who was not far away.

Old Man Xu was staring at everyone around him with his small eyes.

He seemed to know that these guys had been controlled and had a premonition that something bad was going to happen.

Just about to hide far away.

I saw someone approaching.

Ji Xun regained his original appearance in an instant and greeted directly: "Old senior, I am Ji Xun."

Old man Xu was stunned when he heard this: "Ah? Ji what?"

"."

Ji Xunting's eyes twitched. The old man forgot about himself.

But before he had time to reminisce about old times, he watched Old Man Xu glance at the group of people in the distance, his expression suddenly flustered.

The old man didn't pay attention to Ji Xun. He suddenly seemed to be possessed by an evil spirit. He straightened up and fell to the ground.

Playing dead?

The heartbeat and breathing were suppressed, but did not disappear completely.

Ji Xun looked at Old Man Xu's behavior and didn't know the reason, but he followed it without hesitation.

The art of suspended animation is an introductory thing for qigong masters.

However, as soon as he lay down, Old Man Xu opened one eye and complained: "You kid, stay away from me. You have so much energy and blood, it's hard to hide from 'that thing'!"

Can’t hide it?

Ji Xun obviously felt that his anger had been perfectly controlled, but the old man could still see it at a glance.

But he didn’t think he would harm the old man.

Ji Xun had no intention of moving away and asked shamelessly: "Senior, what should I do?"

Old man Xu had a look of disgust on his face, as if he thought this guy was just trying to trick him, but he seemed to remember who Ji Xun was, and said anxiously: "Cover the body next to you, and hide for a while."

Ji Xun complied.

Before he could ask any more questions, Old Man Xu suddenly lost his "angry".

Ji Xun did not dare to be careless and restrained his aura.

The next moment, a fierce battle broke out in the underground palace.

And suddenly, Ji Xun saw the mud pills stuffed in the old man's ears, and he already guessed how those people had been tricked.

"Be careful! They are also possessed by evil spirits!"

"."

The huge underground palace instantly became a mess.

Thousands of "possessed" mercenaries all slashed at their companions with the tips of their knives.

More than 80% of the mercenaries were controlled, including many fifth- and sixth-level card masters.

This overwhelming number makes the battle almost no suspense.

The crowd gathered again, and in the blink of an eye, the trial group was decimated with casualties.

Screams and strange laughter came and went.

Not only the mercenaries, but even the guards brought by the three nobles, there were also many who fell into the trap.

And they discovered to their horror that the dispelling spells against undead and spiritual pollution were completely useless!

They can't think of any way to exempt themselves from that mysterious control.

Prince Salo and Princess Betty were anxiously surrounded by dozens of people and were quickly cornered.

The situation reversed so suddenly that there was no time for anyone to react.

Fear spread rapidly.

In the distance, Ji Xun and Old Man Xu, who were pretending to be dead, avoided the first wave of attacks from those around them.

Although Ji Xun sealed almost all life characteristics of his body, his shadow was still hiding in the darkness, observing carefully.

At this moment, he also understood what was going on with the ancient corpses that he found all over the ground when he came in.

It seems to be some kind of "monster" that can enter through the ear hole.

It didn't even show up. These thousands of people are afraid that they will have to answer here.

I can't figure out why until I die.

Prince Salo and his group have concentrated 80% of the high-end combat power in the trial group. Even though they face dozens of times more enemies, they still cannot be wiped out in a short time.

But there is absolutely no benefit.

However, at this time, Prince Salo didn’t know who he was giving the order to, and shouted loudly: “Don’t retreat!”

Everyone has come, and seeing the coffin right in front of him, he will never retreat. Maybe just give up.

When Ji Xun heard this, he also knew that these guys had other tricks.

I had seen the ability of space teleportation in the Plague Swamp before, and thought that these people probably had something similar to save their lives.

This underground palace cannot trap them.

At this time, Ji Xun controlled the shadow to look at the "old master".

In this situation, this guy finally couldn't hide anymore.

A dark gold card in his backhand collapsed in his hand, and the demon god's shadow appeared behind him, with black dragon scales covering his whole body. He stamped his feet and immediately said: "Zhan Zhan·Zhan!"

Ji Xun Looking at it, he said without any surprise: "Domain. Seventh level strong man! Has this guy finally made a move?"

Old Fu is indeed an official hidden among the adventurers.

And it is very strong.

When the domain was revealed, the hundreds of mercenaries around him all fell into a state of freeze.

He took out a black spell card again, with a sharp look in his eyes: "Explode!"

The spell is cast instantly.

Suddenly I saw a "crackling" explosion in the crowd.

All kinds of stumps and pieces of meat flying around.

“Corpse Explosion Technique? It turns out he is not an archaeologist, but a necromancer of the [9 of Plum Blossoms-Ghost Whisperer] sequence”

Although Ji Xun has never seen this spell with his own eyes, he has also seen its introduction in classics.

This is the signature spell of a high-level necromancer.

The principle of this spell is to detonate the biological energy in the body of a newly dead creature to create a biological bomb.

The power is roughly equivalent to the potential of a card master to self-destruct several times his body instantly, which is quite impressive.

Generally speaking, one corpse can kill and injure several card masters of the same level.

Lao Fu's corpse explosion technique detonated dozens of corpses nearby, and in an instant, the crowd within a hundred meters radius was cleared.

“Awesome”

Ji Xun looked at it and said secretly that he had learned a lot.

“Bang!”

“Bang!”

"Bang!"

"."

Old Fu detonated more than a dozen spell cards in succession, clearing a large area in the blink of an eye.

The ground was covered with broken limbs and broken arms, and scarlet intestines were flowing all over the ground.

However, after this bloody explosion, everyone finally discovered the clues.

In the cranial cavities of those whose brains were blown open, soft-bodied tentacle monsters that looked like spiders were parasitizing on the brains.

"Mythical Creature - [Omen Brain-Eating Worm]!"

"Damn, it turns out to be this ghost bug! The larvae of this thing are smaller than air particles and enter through the ear canal The brain then grows parasitically and finally controls the person!"

"Hasn't this poisonous insect been extinct for countless years? How could it appear here?"

"Don't waste time! They are! Parasitism, the larvae have matured and are already dead!”

"."

Someone recognized the origin of the little tentacle monster and turned pale with fear.

At this moment everyone understood why the previous dispelling spell was useless.

Because this is not possessed by an evil spirit at all, nor is it a mysterious spell.

But physical parasitism.

From the moment they entered the mausoleum, the entire trial group was already under threat from this insect.

Ji Xun looked at the insects that clung to the corpse's brain with their tentacles to absorb nutrients, and secretly felt lucky.

If I hadn’t sealed my ears before, I don’t know how I died now.

There are really endless strange things in this extraordinary world.

At this point, everyone knows that the parasitized guy has no room for recovery.

Everyone no longer had any scruples about taking action.

Normally speaking, even a group of five to six thousand parasites cannot kill Prince Salo's hundred or ten people.

It’s enough to make both sides suffer.

However, there is a seventh-level necromancer here.

[Corpse Explosion Technique] is just the beginning.

While the old man used corpse explosion to clear the place, the demonic figure appeared behind him, and a huge six-pointed star formation formed under his feet.

Rolling spells poured into the formation, and a strong necromantic aura instantly swept through the entire cave and poured into the corpses on the ground.

Looking again, all the "people" who died in the explosion stood up one after another.

[Summon the Undead] is the specialty ability of ghost whisperer path professionals.

For them, corpses are weapons, the more the better.

Old Fu controlled the undead army and killed the parasites in a blink of an eye.

As the two sides fought, a large number of corpses appeared again, and then the necromancy spell was poured into them, and they got up again.

The cycle repeats

In the blink of an eye, the situation changed from one-sided to evenly matched.

Then, the undead army grew larger and larger.

The more you kill, the more you kill.

While everyone was stunned, this guy took control of the field in a short time.

Old Fu controlled an undead army by himself and completely controlled the situation!

The crisis that seemed to threaten to destroy the group just now was reversed by one person in the blink of an eye.

“I see, it’s a good plan.”

When Ji Xun saw this, he understood.

Prince Salo and his group recruited so many mercenaries not just to help with exploration.

Looking at it now, the more important purpose is probably to provide some mobile corpses for this old man.

A seventh-level necromancer, and thousands of living undead that can explode at any time, can handle almost all known crises in the Rune Highlands.

The crisis was over, and Ji Xun breathed a sigh of relief.

But something suddenly occurred to him.

Bugs?

Why does it feel like it’s the Bai family’s method?

It is not the Bai family of Donghuang now, but the Bai family of Talun period.

Old Fu took action to control the situation, leaving others shocked.

Prince Salo also said respectfully: "Teacher."

Only then did everyone understand this person's identity.

There are still a large number of parasites in the underground palace, but they no longer pose a threat.

Lao Fu didn’t have to worry about dealing with the undead.

He walked unhurriedly not far from Prince Salo.

Without any warning, before anyone could react, a bone spear suddenly appeared in Lao Fu's hand and pierced out like lightning, directly piercing a guy's heart.

This sudden and cruel attack scared others into thinking that this person was also parasitized.

However, before everyone's surprised expressions could fully unfold, they suddenly looked at the corpse with a hole in it, and a humanoid object was struggling as if it was about to break out of its skin.

Ji Xun watched this scene from a distance, gloating in his heart: "Have the guys from the Bai family really been found out?"
