Advent of the Archmage

Chapter 437: A confusing situation

Views:

A level 10 crystal giant can only force out the opponent's tentacles, but the shadow light group still cannot be broken, and the situation inside the light group is naturally unknown.

Link glanced at his task information, and the status above was still 'unfinished'.

Looking at the distance again, after the shadow group killed the crystal giant, it did not walk around looking for the controller of the giant puppet. It gathered back again, and the shadow also re-dispersed to a state of more than 50 meters in diameter.

"It doesn't seem to be able to move." Gan Ming said suddenly.

Link also found out: "It seems so."

From discovering the other party to now, the other party basically didn't move the nest, just moved back and forth in that area, and then recalled the other party's actions before, and attracted the target through the sound of calling for help, which seemed to confirm the defect of the other party's inability to move.

But for some reason, Link always felt that something was wrong.

"Help~ someone help me~ I can't hold on anymore~ woo woo~"

The cry for help came from the shadows again, it was very miserable, if there was no previous action, just listening to the sound, anyone would feel pity in their hearts.

Gan Ming was also puzzled: "Is it stupid? What's the point of calling for help like that? Can we still be fooled?"

Link didn't make a sound. He looked at the shadow and frowned, feeling like he had overlooked something.

In the previous game, he had seen many legendary Void creatures, but after these creatures entered Ferroman, they never said that they could not move. These Void creatures wished to run all over Ferroman.

Besides, they have passed the greatest difficulty by entering Ferroman through the barriers of the planes. How could there be new constraints after that

"Help me quickly~ woo woo woo~~ I'm so uncomfortable~" The voice came again, amidst the misery, there was urgency and anxiety.

Suddenly a light flashed in Link's mind, thinking of a possibility, he stood up and said, "Come on, let's walk around here and see if we can find new clues."

The dwarf nodded: "Alright."

"Let's look separately, pay attention to stay away from that guy, at least a thousand meters."

"no problem."

So, the two of them, one on the left and one on the right, began to search around the shadow.

"Clear Omens"

Link released the tracking magic for himself, the whistling sound of the mountain wind began to recede, and the smell of vegetation in the air also quickly faded away. Special traces such as magical breath, bloody smell, and very subtle space ripples emerged in Link's perception .

He walked very slowly, as if taking a walk. Along the way, he twitched his nose slightly: "There is a smell of wine in the air, which belongs to the dwarf Ganming, and there is also a faint smell of blood, which comes from the east. It's very strange."

Link followed the faint smell of blood, made a big circle, and walked through the dense forest on the south side of the shadow.

After walking about 500 meters, the smell of blood in the air suddenly became thicker. Link squinted his eyes and walked forward. After walking for about a minute, he found a corpse in the bushes.

This corpse is very strange. It looks like a human race, but it has long silver hair. Link opened his eyelids and found that his pupils should be completely frozen, but it can still be seen that they were silver before birth. This made Link Reminds me of Vivier.

Vivier has the blood of the ancient ancestors of the Nieders, so his hair and pupils are all silver, but Vivier is also different from the corpse in front of him.

Apart from being handsome, Vivier's facial features and complexion were no different from those of ordinary people, but the corpse in front of him had snow-white skin, and the blood vessels under the skin could be clearly seen, as if he had albinism. His facial features are also very special. He is obviously male, but they are very delicate. If it is not for the secondary sexual characteristics, he is male, and just looking at his face, he is almost indistinguishable from a female.

'This look, dress up, it's absolutely stunning... a bitch. Link sighed, and he began to observe the wounds on the corpse.

The opponent's fatal wound was on the heart, a large hole with a diameter of 15 centimeters, the heart was pierced, blood flowed all over the ground, and the soil under the body was stained dark red.

"Judging from the decay of the corpse and the coagulation of the blood, this person should have been dead for two days. The caliber of the injury is similar to that of the tentacles that appeared just now. It should have been poked out by the tentacles. The corpse has not been completely sucked dry. It should be Some force interfered with the movement of the tentacles."

Link stood up and searched around the corpse.

After searching for a while, he found a fragment of a sword 5 meters away from the corpse. Link reached out to pick it up, but when his hand touched the fragment, he withdrew his hand.

This piece looked exactly like an ordinary steel piece, but its temperature was unusually low. Just touching it just now made Link's hand numb from the cold.

The dragon power surged up quickly, relieving the numbness in Link's hands. Since he couldn't touch it directly, Link switched to the Mage's Hand.

The fragments floated up, suspended in front of Link's eyes, and slowly rotated.

Link used a space warp to construct a lens. He squinted his eyes and took a closer look. He found that the sword body was ordinary steel gray, but after magnifying it 10 times, the fragments were actually hollowed out!

This fragment is made of countless elemental magic runes. If you look carefully, it is all ice magic runes. Its material is also very special. Link has never seen it before, but its strength has reached level 9. The runes The stacking technique is very delicate, it is not the enchantment that is popular in the mainland today, nor is it the rune enchantment of the high elves.

"This corpse is very muscular and has calluses on his hands. He is a swordsman. This sword should belong to him."

Link turned around the corpse again and again, and he found more and more traces: "There should be two people here, one of them is very short, weighing no more than 40 kilograms, and it should be a girl. The other is that The swordsman. The attack came from behind, one of the tentacles was blocked by the swordsman's sword, but his sword was shattered, and another tentacle appeared from the other direction and pierced the swordsman's heart... The girl escaped."

A few minutes later, Link found a very thin strand of hair on a branch. The hair was thin and soft, and very long, much longer than the swordsman's hair. It should belong to the girl who escaped , The footprints on the ground also clearly indicated the direction the girl was heading.

"She fled to the east at a very high speed, moving more than a hundred meters in one second. Judging from the footprints, it was all due to physical strength... The tentacles have been following her and have been chasing..."

Link chased after the traces. He found that, limited by the terrain, the girl's escape trajectory was an arc. He tracked all the way, and the arc turned to where the shadow was.

This discovery made Link more cautious.

After walking more than 200 meters all the way, Link saw a new fragment on the ground, which was white in color, like jade.

With the experience from last time, Link picked up the fragment with the hands of a mage.

After careful observation, Link found that this should be a fragment of a bracelet, and its construction method is still a very fine rune stacking method. As for its specific function, Link is temporarily unable to determine.

There is only less than 600 meters left from the position of the shadow light group, which will inevitably lead to unnecessary conflicts, and Link's forward speed is getting slower and slower.

After walking another 200 meters, he got more clues, which outlined a vague fact.

"Two people with Netherian blood came to the forest and met a void creature. The swordsman was killed on the spot, but the girl kept dealing with this void creature. In the end, she was defeated by the void creature, but she Not dead yet, she bound this tentacle-shaped void creature with some kind of secret method, and kept calling for help."

Link doesn't know if this fact is correct, but the clues he has obtained so far point to this possibility.

"Help me~~woooo~~~help me~~~I'm so uncomfortable~~ah~~~~" The cry for help came again, not only miserable, but also more urgent, as if it was about to collapse at any time.

Link frowned: "Is she going to be unable to restrain this void monster?"

This void creature is energy-absorbing, and it doesn't seem to have a vital point. Judging from the way it kills the swordsman, it likes to attack sneakily. Such things are very difficult to deal with.

what can we do about it

While thinking, Link continued to check the clues subconsciously. After walking another 100 meters, he saw a new corpse!

This corpse was the silver-haired girl pointed out by the previous clues. She fell to the ground, her body was twisted, her bones were almost completely broken, and many bones protruded from her body, which showed that she had suffered some kind of powerful attack in front of her.

This doesn't look like a tentacle injury, and another detail proves this, that is, the girl's body has not been sucked dry.

Link examined it carefully. Judging from the muscularity of the girl's body, she should be an assassin-type warrior, not a magician. How could a warrior have a way to bind void creatures

"..." Link was confused for a moment.

'What's happening here? The girl is also dead... Then who is restraining the void tentacles, could it be the girl's soul? '

He continued to observe the scene, and after a while, he discovered a new clue.

This clue immediately overturned all Link's previous inferences, because he found evidence of the existence of a third person. Judging from the traces on the ground, this third person is a Job, and he is also a Job magician!

Link clearly remembered that the dwarf Gan Ming said that the cry for help from this void creature sounded like a Jober. In fact, Link thought so too.

"So, where is this Job now? Could it be that she restrained that void creature?"

Link circled around the white-haired girl's body several times, trying to find more details about Job, but this time, he didn't find any useful clues. The vapor generally disappeared without a trace.

The situation that was somewhat clear just now has once again fallen into fog.
