Chapter 63 No one will be sad for your death
"boom!"
The huge ball of energy exploded with a bang, blasting out a circle of huge white waves visible to the naked eye. Several skeletons that were close by were thrown away like straw.
Ronan put down his staff and looked straight ahead.
In front of him, a long straight road that was completely cleared appeared.
At the end of the long road, there was a battle group with a large gap opened, and two faces full of shock and confusion in the center of the battle group.
"What are you doing standing still? Leave quickly!"
Ronan shouted, and Reni and the hook-nosed wizard, who were stunned by the power of Ronan's energy missile just now, woke up from a dream and ran towards him.
With Ronan's current strength as a ninth-level apprentice, even without activating the magic domain, the [Energy Missile] thrown under normal conditions is still terrifyingly powerful, enough to instantly kill many zero-level advanced spells.
"Huchi - Huchi -"
Reni and the two ran to Ronan like they were desperate. The hook-nosed wizard was out of breath while running. The look of shock on his face did not dissipate, but he kept staring at the staff in Ronan's hand. Non-stop.
"Level 1 magic tool?!"
Ronan didn't bother to pay attention to him and just ran away.
The hook-nosed wizard was a bit embarrassed when he was directly ignored, but at this time, there were a group of skeleton warriors chasing after them, so it was difficult to say anything.
After all, they were uncontrolled undead servants. Even though their strength was comparable to that of an intermediate apprentice, their reactions were slow and their movements were not very flexible. In the end, the three of them gradually pulled away from each other.
Just as the three of them were about to run out of the cemetery, a forked road appeared in the distance.
The road going straight forward was the same as the one they had walked before, except that there was some diffuse white fog on the road, making it difficult to see clearly what was ahead.
The other path was bright red at first glance, and a strong smell of blood hit your nostrils before you even got close.
Without any hesitation, the hook-nosed wizard in charge of "leading the team" spoke forcefully: "This way!"
Then, regardless of whether Ronan and the others agreed, he rushed towards the road ahead alone.
Ronan frowned, didn't say anything, and followed with Reni.
Not long after the three of them set foot on the white mist trail, the mist surged violently, as if something in it had been disturbed, but no other movement occurred.
Ronan always felt that something was wrong. He slowed down and squinted his eyes to look forward. Suddenly, he discovered that there seemed to be a dark shadow spreading rapidly towards them under the surging white mist.
The experience of the battle on the night of chaos in the town instantly flooded into Ronan's mind
Ronan suddenly stopped and shouted: "Don't go forward, there is danger!"
Lenny, who was following him step by step, stopped almost immediately after he stopped.
The hook-nosed wizard who took the lead rushed forward for a while as if he hadn't heard anything, and then slowly stopped.
And it was this short distance that he deliberately ran as if to protect the face of the "leader" that made him almost stupefied and bump into the large shadow that spread under his feet.
"Shua——"
Ronan seemed to hear the sound of an extremely sharp instrument cutting through the air.
The last time he faced this spell was late at night, and he was unable to see the full extent of the spell.
Now I finally see it clearly——
The dense shadow gave birth to two semi-illusory huge scythes, as if they were held by invisible big hands
Cut horizontally! Vertical chop!
The energy shield on the hook-nosed wizard who was only about seven or eight meters away from him was quietly broken like a fragile egg shell under the attack of two black scythes, followed by the aquiline hook in the shield. The nose wizard's mouth was slightly open, and his whole body was silently divided into four sections in a cross shape.
Blood and internal organs flowed out.
"vomit"
The huge visual impact coupled with the fear of unknown danger caused the young wizard Reni to vomit on the spot.
Ronan muttered "let's go" quickly, then turned around and turned back without hesitation. When he came to the fork in the road, he gritted his teeth and rushed in.
"How come you know so much about Black Robe's methods?!"
Reni, who suppressed his nausea and scrambled to catch up, asked Ronan with a pale face.
Ronan was silent for a moment and then replied: "I have killed a few...so I know a little bit."
"I killed a few."
Reni's expression was suffocated, a look of shock and disbelief flashed across his face, but when he thought of the energy missile that Ronan had just rescued them from, it suddenly made sense.
He followed Ronan closely, not daring to say another word.
Walking on a path that seemed to be paved with countless viscera, every step of the moccasin boots squeezed out an unknown liquid that looked like corpse water mixed with blood.
Ronan's five senses were fully activated and he moved forward step by step with great vigilance.
At this time, he was convinced that what the wizard Faao said on the way here was all lies.
It's easy, all you need to do is set fires and cause damage.
The series of dangers they encountered just now, if it were an ordinary wandering wizard, they would have died several times.
"No wonder he and Linus are so close. They are both the same kind of people, cold and vicious."
The wizard Fa'ao probably didn't care about the lives of the twenty-five wandering gray robes at all. His kind words and comfort when he came were just to coax them into entering the secret realm obediently. After that, their lives and lives were completely irrelevant. It's his business.
Ronan's expression was gloomy, and he was constantly thinking about his next plan.
He didn't know whether to go deeper. If he walked back now, he still couldn't avoid the shadow of white mist and the cemetery full of skeleton warriors. He should have no problem breaking through these obstacles alone, but there was also Reni beside him.
While thinking about it, Ronan and the two of them had unknowingly followed the blood trail to a turbid and pungent river.
The path leads to the other side of the river. The water on both sides of the path is densely populated with strange fish with rotten bodies and human organs.
These strange fish were close to the feet of Ronan and the two of them, squeaking and squeaking as if they were gnawing on something. They kept making chewing sounds and spitting out black bubbles.
Walking surrounded by countless strange fish and staring at them with eager eyes, even Ronan felt like his scalp was numb.
But fortunately, we walked down the road smoothly. The blood trail, which looked extremely dangerous, turned out to be a truly safe path.
Only when they reached the other side did Ronan remember the purpose of this mission.
Looking at the turbid river filled with strange fish, Ronan was not sure whether this was a resource point deliberately cultivated by the black robes in the Forest of Deathrattles. After a moment of hesitation, he asked Reni to throw a few spells into the river, and exploded After a large number of strange fish died, he turned around and left.
After crossing the Strange Fish River and continuing forward, Ronan gradually smelled the smell of rotting flesh and blood.
Just as he was looking around for the source of the smell, he found that the young wizard Reni was staring in a certain direction with an ugly look on his face——
It was an endless field of black flowers.
The flower field is densely planted with twisted and weird "flowers".
The rotten body forms the branch of the flower, with a slender white neck bone extending upward. The top of the neatly cut dough is blooming like petals. At the stamen of each flower is a picture of a person sleeping peacefully. Face.
"Ghost Face Flower"
Ronan stared blankly at the terrifying and infiltrating flower field in front of him. He now finally knew what resources Faao wanted them to destroy.
There is a high probability that they are these ghost-faced flowers that are quite precious to black-robed wizards.
The cultivation of the Ghost Face Flower requires a large amount of flesh and blood, and the maturation cycle is quite long. It is widely used in the refining of black witch potions and experiments in black witchcraft, and is of high value.
Ronan also learned about the ghost-faced flower when he was bored and flipping through several potion books left by black robes.
With such a large field of ghost-faced flowers, if a black-robed wizard apprentice came here, he would probably go crazy with excitement and joy.
But for Gray Robe, he only feels fear and penetration.
No wonder this secret space is called Corpse Garden.
"What should we do?" Reni beside him asked Ronan calmly, "Should we destroy all these disgusting things?"
Destroy a der.
Ronan shook his head directly.
The Ghost Face Flower has a certain degree of aggression. Once angered, it will directly eat the intruder as fertilizer.
There are so many ghost-faced flowers at the moment. If they are all awakened, even he will not be able to bear them.
This may be the reason why this flower field is unattended.
The only good news now is that these ghost-faced flowers are all asleep.
"Stop talking next, try not to make any noise and we'll walk over quietly."
Ronan had the urge to turn around and leave, but thinking of Reni beside him, he decided to walk forward and take a look.
Find someone to meet up with and then find another way out.
In fact, Ronan has been analyzing along the way.
From the cemetery to the strange fish river, to the ghost-faced flower field in front of you.
The apparent crisis is actually gradually diminishing.
He found that their group seemed to be walking through the back door of the "Corpse Garden". The most important resource, the Ghost Face Flower, was located in the center of the garden. The cemetery full of skeleton servants was like a "fence" surrounding the garden to prevent outsiders from intruding.
If his guess is correct, then you should be able to see the main entrance of the garden if you continue walking past the flower field.
He even doubted... The standard used by the academy to determine whether this group of wandering gray robes had accomplished their mission was whether they could successfully reach the main gate and join the wizard Faao who led the team.
Finally, Faao took them out again.
If he returned the same way, he might be able to survive, but he would most likely not be recognized by the academy, and would be regarded as a mission bastard and his mission rewards would be revoked.
Ronan silently led Reni into the flower field. The twisted corpse-like ghost-faced flowers stood neatly on both sides of them like mature corn sticks.
Reni was very obedient and didn't say anything to Ronan. All the way, he could only hear the rustling footsteps of the two walking through the flower field.
I don’t know how long I walked, but I saw the edge of the flower field in sight in the distance.
But as expected, the unexpected happened.
Ronan suddenly stopped when he noticed the footsteps belonging to Reni that had been following behind him.
Turning his head quickly, he saw Reni remaining motionless, with an "I didn't mean it" expression on his face, looking at him nervously and horrified.
Ronan looked down and realized that he had accidentally stepped on the exposed root of a ghost-faced flower.
This thing is like the feet of a ghost-faced flower.
As for the ghost-faced flower whose foot was stepped on by Reni, the human face that looked like a young man's on the flower woke up shivering from the pain. Then when he saw the two of them, he opened his mouth in shock
"Huh— —”
The sudden breeze picked up Ronan's robe.
A strong and powerful arm shot out from under the robe like a javelin, and its slender white fingers pressed the face of the young man who was about to make a sound. He squeezed it hard and squeezed it into a ball of pulpy folds.
At the same time, the black sword in the other hand was unsheathed silently, and a cold light flashed through.
The crushed ghost-faced flower head fell to the ground, and was immediately thrown into the storage waist bag.
From the time the accident occurred to the time it subsided, the whole process took less than two seconds. Everything was so natural and smooth.
When Ronan put away the sword with an expressionless expression, picked up the corner of the hem of his robe and slowly wiped his left hand that was full of scarlet flower juice, the instigator, Reni, was still in a daze and had not recovered from the nervousness and guilt after "getting into trouble" I came back to my senses.
'There's no next time. '
Ronan opened and closed his lips silently, looking at Reni coldly.
The latter nodded desperately, just about to make some guarantee, but the next second he looked in a certain direction behind Ronan with a horrified expression.
Ronan's long sword, which had just been sheathed, was slashed backhand towards the position behind him where Reni was looking.
A cut off ghost-faced flower flew high, and in the center of the flower was the face of a pale woman who was so frightened that she screamed after witnessing the brutal "murder" of her companion.
Ronan wanted to It was too late to stop him further.
"ah!--"
The woman's scream "before she died" echoed through the flower field, which was particularly harsh in the deathly silence.
"Walk!"
Ronan knew that everything was irreversible at this point, so he called to Reni and ran forward.
The scream spread like a signal.
Ronan saw the ghost-faced flowers on both sides of the road waking up from their slumber one after another, faster and faster, like dominoes being toppled.
Ronan ran quickly, stepping on the soft mud with his feet and splashing puffs of dark red sand. His robe was raised high behind him. He raised his right hand, and a large number of energy particles gathered in the palm of his hand. The light was distorted.
When the energy gathered to a certain extreme, Ronan threw the energy missile summoned from his hand in the direction of the road ahead.
The huge blue-black ball of light was like a roaring hurricane, carrying the momentum of pushing and crushing everything, moving forward in a devastating way, and countless ghost-faced flowers were crushed, torn and shattered along the way
However, just when Ronan was about to When he stepped out of the flower field, he suddenly felt the soil under his feet shaking.
The next second, something huge seemed to rush out from the ground, and Reni's panicked cry came from behind.
Ronan quickly turned his head, and a super ghost-faced flower that was more than ten meters high was reflected in his suddenly contracted lake-blue pupils.
Only half of this thing's body emerged from the ground, and black roots like giant pythons protruded from the large hole in the flower field.
Reni, who was lagging behind, was entangled in one of the roots of the Super Ghost Face Flower. At this time, he was like a grasshopper tied by a rope, holding the scimitar, dancing and screaming in mid-air.
"Damn it!"
Ronan gritted his teeth, but after all he could not make up his mind to make the decision to abandon Reni.
Countless ghost-faced flowers in the flower field screamed and crawled out of the soil and rushed toward him viciously.
Ronan paid no attention to it and just stared at the super ghost-faced flower.
"Fortunately, the face on the flower is not formed. It looks so big and intimidating, but in fact, the strength is only level 0."
Feeling that he still had some strength left was the real reason why Ronan chose to try to rescue Reni.
The Demonic Kao is famous for being strong on the outside but strong on the inside. As long as he is fed with enough flesh and blood, his body can continue to expand. Many black-robed wizards like to use this thing as a guard for their homes.
The staff in his hand was gently pressed on the ground, and along with the short syllables of the spell, eight blazing electric snakes emerged from the bottom of the black staff, and they quickly flew out in a fan shape under Ronan's feet.
Under [The Flash of Electricity], large swaths of ghost-faced flowers fell down screaming and smoking, and the road in front of Ronan was gradually cleared.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ronan took a deep breath and shot out like an arrow, turning into a blurry black shadow. The moment he was about to hit the ghost-faced Kao head-on, his feet suddenly exploded. He was as tall as a big bird. Leap up.
"Iris, my dear Iris."
In mid-air, Reni, who was entangled by the roots of Ghost Faced Kao, had given up struggling at this time. His expression was sad, his eyes were looking at a certain direction in confusion, and he whispered softly: "Forgive me for leaving, please don't be sad." ."
"boom!"
Reni, who was sighing sadly, was suddenly awakened by a loud noise. He felt that a dazzling energy ball had just exploded beside him.
The aftermath of the explosion threw him high into the air along with the roots of the Demonic Flower that were wrapped around his body, and the painful and angry howl of the Demonic Kao rang in his ears
Reni rolled around in the flower field like a ball that had been hit hard. Rolling back and forth, he fell into a state of disgrace and disgrace.
Just when he was feeling dizzy, he saw a man in gray robe stepping on the broken and screaming remains of the Ghost Faced Flower on the ground, striding towards him.
Lower your head, lean over.
A slender and powerful hand pulled Reni up from the ground, and then a low and cold voice sounded in his ear.
"Don't be silly. Iris won't feel sad about your death.
She'll just happily take your pension and have sex with your best mate."
