Xu Yinian followed the map elf all the way forward, and the elf's glowing wings were like small lamps in the dark night. For the sake of this long night that I don’t know how long it will last, most of the Freeport area temporarily turned off the lights, leaving only the necessary street lights for lighting.
Xu Yinian's body was covered with lightning, and he moved at an extremely fast speed. The patrol team that was moving with him was slightly behind. They avoided the hordes of undead as much as possible. In comparison, the reaction of these things was almost slow. Often when they turned their heads when they heard the movement, Xu Yinian had already passed by the blind spot.
I don't know if his luck is good or bad, but he didn't meet any undead or surviving monsters along the way. Looking at the lifeless Oak Mountain Arena in the dark, the elf said worriedly: "We are almost there, but there seems to be no survivors inside."
Because of the sudden change, the arena, which used to be full of people, was terribly silent. The wall near the main entrance was torn apart, and the gravel rolled to the ground. One can imagine how the panicked monsters broke through the door when the undead appeared.
Xu Yinian said in a low voice, "Go in and have a look."
The lights of the entire arena have been extinguished, and the elf flies a little higher. The pink wings emit a soft halo, but it can only barely illuminate a small area nearby. Xu Yinian walked through the huge root system of the old oak tree, and suddenly heard some faint movements.
He immediately rushed to the direction of the sound source. When he heard the screams, Xu Yinian exploded the lightning in his hand and smashed the wall with his fist. The scene that hit into his field of vision made his eyes widen suddenly.
A tall Yaozu withdrew his hand, with blood dripping from his fingertips. A bloody hole was opened in the chest of the fox demon in front of him, and what made Xu Yinian even more unbelievable was the pair of dark purple eyes of the demon fox.
When the other party looked over, Xu Yinian's heart skipped a beat—even though the upper half of his face was wearing a mask, the outline of this monster was so similar to Yu Huai's!
For a moment, Xu Yinian's mind flashed the image of the opening day, and after confirming that this was the monster he had seen on the float, Xu Yinian sternly said, "Who are you?!"
The monster stared at him, and suddenly raised his lips, his expression was indescribably sinister and strange, Xu Yinian's instinct made Xu Yinian's body tense up. He heard the other party's deep and hoarse voice, such an excessively hoarse voice seemed to have suffered irreparable damage to the throat.
"You'll find out soon enough."
The corpse of the fox demon on the ground suddenly moved slightly. The fox's flesh began to rot from the blood hole in the heart, and gradually spread to the whole body. The muscles of the whole body melted into a pool of dark mucus exuding a strange smell. The fox's skeleton gradually lost its original white color. With the clatter of joints, the black and green skeleton moved stiffly, as if adapting to the new body.
Xu Yinian witnessed the corpse turning into a terrifying monster with his own eyes. He looked at the scene in front of him incredulously, his eyes fell on the bleeding finger of the strange monster, and suddenly remembered something.
Mingming Yuhuai and Nan Zhi both said that only necromancers can transform monsters or humans into necromancers, but the monster in front of him is obviously completely different from the necromancers who can't talk and have simple thinking. On the way back to the main city from the outskirts of the city, Yu Huai once said that these undead spirits probably had a source: Even if the gates were canceled on the open day, the undead spirits could not activate the teleportation spell beads, and logically, they could not enter the free port at all.
"It's you... It's you who turned them into undead!" Xu Yinian suddenly realized. Burning Eye's blue-purple electric current instantly illuminated the pitch-black space, and before he could rush forward, the newly transformed undead pounced on him, and Xu Yinian and it fought with it, and the monster turned away without turning its head. Accompanied by sparse movements, several dead spirits crawled out from the dark corner one after another, and surrounded Xu Yinian.
Could it be that the survivors of the arena were all... ? !
Seeing that the figure of the monster was about to disappear into the darkness, Xu Yinian roared angrily, "Stop!"
The monster ignored it, and Xu Yinian wanted to catch up, but he couldn't break through the obstacles of the undead. He hurriedly said to the map elf: "Go and inform the patrol team, don't let him run away!"
The little elf nodded vigorously and flew out immediately. Hearing that more and more undead were coming, Xu Yinian simply covered his whole body with electric light, and rushed directly into the siege of the undead. The undead who tried to pounce on him were burnt to death by the dazzling electric current before they touched him. Even so, there are still undead spirits who continue to block his way.
The number of undead in the entire arena far exceeded Xu Yinian's expectations. They are stacked one on top of the other, and when their companions fall, they step on the broken bones to chase their prey. Only then did Xu Yinian know how those powerful monsters were consumed to death: ants killed elephants more, not to mention these skeletons were immortal.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Xu Yinian temporarily changed direction and rushed towards the wall of the arena - boom! !
The sudden surge of abilities broke through the wall. After Xu Yinian broke through the wall, he immediately hid in the pile of rubble. Suddenly, countless undead rushed out.
Taking advantage of the undead not paying attention, Xu Yinian carefully stepped on the damaged wall of the arena and jumped onto the top of the oak tree with his strength. Fortunately, the undead rushed forward and did not notice him turning back.
The surrounding patrols have not sent back any news until now, and it seems that they failed to stop the monster. Looking at the dark shadow of the undead, Xu Yinian clicked his tongue and tore open the communication talisman formed earlier.
There is currently no signal in Freeport. In order to keep in touch, the leaders of each team formed communication symbols when they left the castle. Once the talisman is torn, his voice can be heard from other people's talismans, and everyone can communicate at the same time, but such a large communication talisman often has a strict time limit. After tearing a talisman, the communication can only last for two minutes.
Xie Qihan's voice came first: "Who tore the talisman?"
"It's me." Xu Yinian briefly described the process of the strange monster killing the fox demon and transforming it into a dead spirit. "He is very likely the source of those dead spirits."
Yu Huai immediately said: "Don't fight with him, wait for me to come over."
"No, he's gone," Xu Yinian spoke faster, "Yu Huai, that monster I met just now, with dark purple eyes, wearing a mask like the day of the parade."
After Nan Zhi was surprised, she hesitated and said: "From this point of view, he should have created the first undead. Do we need to send more people to search for the whereabouts of this monster?"
"...No need." Yu Huai's voice gradually cooled down, "I saw him."
His voice is not very clear, it means that the time limit of the communication symbol is coming soon.
"Where are you?!" Xu Yinian asked loudly. For a while, other people's anxious voices came from the communication talisman, but the talisman paper in his hand suddenly went out at this moment.
But at the most critical moment, Xu Yinian was so angry that he threw the communication symbol that had turned into a piece of waste paper on the ground.
If I remember correctly, Yu Huai should have gone to Obsidian Square.
Xu Yinian looked around, thanks to the luminous flower vines used to decorate the clock tower during the open day, in the thick darkness, he could vaguely see the huge silhouette of the clock tower on the square.
After determining the direction, Xu Yinian jumped from the top of the arena without hesitation.
Obsidian Square.
The normally bustling Freeport Center has been occupied by densely packed black skeletons, and Yu Huai watched the strange figure among the crowd of skeletons. Before his arrival, the undead were like machines with simple programs, only knowing to search for prey aimlessly, but as soon as this person appeared, the undead seemed to have a backbone, and followed him closely, just like... supporting their king.
Fierce flames accumulated in Yu Huai's hands, and they rushed up to the sky with thick smoke. The golden red sparks flew along with the air waves, and the raging flames quickly swept across the entire square, burning the undead in the front into ashes. But the man walked slowly from the sea of flames, as if the flames couldn't burn him at all.
"This meeting ceremony is not bad." The monster and Yu Huai were separated by more than half a square, but the voice was clearly heard in Yu Huai's ears.
He wore a silver mask that half-covered his face, and a layer of almost transparent airflow wrapped around his body, completely isolating the flames, only the sparks flying all over the sky fell into the dark purple eyes.
"Is it my turn now?" The monster looked at Yu Huai with a strange intimacy in his tone.
I saw him lift his finger lightly, and with the slight sound of piercing through the air, hundreds of invisible air currents attacked Yu Huai all at once, and even the heavy flames were cut off in the middle!
boom! !
The airflow collided with the thick rock wall, leaving countless honeycomb-like holes on it in an instant. Yu Huai stopped the attack with the help of the rock monster's ability, but the ground under his feet was unknowingly condensed with a layer of ice. His eyes moved, and he saw two spirit bodies floating behind the monster, which were different from his spirit body. The spirit body of the monster is pitch black, with only a skeleton remaining, like two small skeletons.
Spirit body, purple eyes... There is no doubt that this is a ghost.
Except for the person behind the scenes who planned everything, all the ghosts should have died in the massacre five years ago. Reminiscent of the message left by the wishing machine, the dusty truth that is about to be touched makes Yu Huai's blood run agitated, and a strong killing intent surges from his heart. Yu Huai stares at the strange ghost with cold eyes, saying word by word. :"who are you?!"
The smile on the corner of the monster's lips deepened, and he didn't answer. Under the mask, those dark purple eyes flashed with chilling madness. The undead that had been completely burned by the flames were revived from the dark green ashes. Countless undead stood up again amidst the sound of the penetrating skeleton activities, and black acid flowed from one pair of skeletons after another. of slime.
The two skeleton spirits behind the monster suddenly turned their heads to look at Yu Huai. The corners of their mouths raised, and they grinned exaggeratedly and weirdly.
The ice on the ground suddenly increased, the solid rock walls, the pool in the square, and the huge clock tower... Even the burning flames were frozen, and everything in sight was covered with thick ice. The monster clapped his hands again, and several deep cracks appeared on the ice surface, and all objects frozen by the ice layer broke into countless pieces in an instant!
The bell tower that had stood for hundreds of years collapsed, the granite rocks rolled to the ground with crushed ice, the fountain pool was torn apart, and the extinguished lights exploded at the same time, and a large number of fine ice chips flew like a blizzard. If it was a person who was frozen, the flesh and blood of the whole body would have been broken into pieces by now.
After destroying the entire square, the monster looked at the collapsed rock wall, and Yu Huai was no longer there. The sudden shadow fell into the monster's eyes, he sharply raised his head, and the beams of light falling from above were as thick as magma, and at the same time, several beams of light erupted from the ground! The monster was forced to dodge between the beams of light, but the high temperature hit the ice surface and made all directions covered in white, with extremely low visibility. While retreating, the monster suddenly noticed that someone had taken the opportunity to move behind him—
The demon pattern floated on the back of Yu Huai's hand, and the bleeding blood condensed into a sharp dagger, stabbing directly at the monster's vitals! At the critical moment, the monster dodged sideways, and the fatal attack only had time to penetrate the shoulder. The monster didn't seem to feel the pain, and a dazzling light burst out from the palm of his hand. Yu Huai dodged in time, but a bloodstain was drawn on his cheek.
When the blow failed, the monster turned to look at his blood-drenched shoulder, with a hint of joy in his eyes: "You have grown very well, even exceeding my expectations."
While speaking, the wound running through his shoulder grew new flesh and gradually healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. The monster reached out and took off the mask on his face.
Even though he knew that his outline was similar to his own, the face that appeared in front of him at this moment seemed to be carved out of the same mold as himself! A look of astonishment flashed across Yu Huai's eyes, the most absurd guess in his mind gradually became clear, and even his pupils trembled violently.
Noticing his abnormal change of expression, the monster seemed very satisfied, and sighed softly: "It's very similar, right? Of course, half of my blood is bleeding on you."
"Are you kidding..." Yu Huai's voice was stern, the beam of light descending from the sky contained extremely terrifying destructive power, and instantly smashed a huge hole in the position of the monster clan, "Stop pretending to be a ghost with this face. "
In an instant, the gravel splashed, and after the smoke and dust cleared, the voice of the Yaozu came from behind: "It seems that you still don't quite believe my words... Do you not understand why Freeport suddenly lost control?"
Before Yu Huai could react, the monster's eyes showed a mad look: "Because after I 'death', you have the opportunity to take advantage of the loophole and become its second contractor."
The contract of Freeport is only owned by the past generations of ghost clan owners. Without warning, a small gap was opened in the darkness covering the free port, and a ray of bright sunlight fell into Yu Huai's dark purple eyes from top to bottom.
The undead who surrounded the square retreated as if they were facing an enemy, and hid in the shadows in fear. The monster waved his hand, and the darkness engulfed the sun again—as he said, he could control the free port at will. It's no wonder that after the appearance of the undead, the entire Freeport was completely plunged into the night.
He met Yu Huai's completely gloomy gaze, provocative and teasing: "Compared to you, Freeport still listens to me."
When his words fell, a skeleton spirit body wrapped in lightning appeared silently beside him, and the thunder and lightning that tore the sky and the earth crashed down and struck Yu Huai straight! The dazzling electric light instantly turned everything around into black and white. The shadow rising from Yu Huai's feet was like an abyss, completely devouring the destructive lightning at the last moment.
Seeing that he had caught his own attack, the monster laughed out loud, his hoarse voice was like a broken bellows, and the continuous piercing laughter was creepy: "Very good..."
The sight of the monster flitted past the floating spirit body around Yu Huai, and finally landed on Yu Huai. He couldn't take his eyes off it, and the expression on his face was joy from the heart, which made him look extraordinarily weird.
"You have become very strong, and you did not disappoint me. This is the best." The monster's eyes showed a greedy look, and he stared straight at Yu Huai, as if the patient who had been suffering for a long time was finally found Good medicine for recovery.
"—It's not in vain that I spared your life on purpose five years ago."
In the boundless darkness, the grinning arc of the monster's mouth became wider and wider, and the voice was like the whisper of the devil in hell.
