Heavenly Calamity

Chapter 188: Hatred and death

Views:

If you look at it from a bird's-eye view, the castle is semicircular in shape, half garden and half building. The main castle is interconnected with the surrounding buildings, so you can enter the castle interior by walking into any building, and you don't have to enter the hall.

Zhang Mu has entered this secret realm several times, and he is quite clear about some dangerous magic traps and the distribution of big and small bosses. Although I have never completed the hidden mission, others know a thing or two from discussions in the forum. If you start from the lobby or other buildings, you cannot start the hidden mission. You can only trigger it through the library.

Although the details and process of the hidden mission were not too detailed, Zhang Mu still decided to take the risk.

This challenge is in the wasteland reclamation mode. If you complete the hidden mission challenge on the basis of the wasteland reclamation mode, the rewards must be very high!

The library is a round tower fifteen or six meters high. There is a stone carving of books hanging on the tower, so it is not difficult to identify.

"The door is locked."

"No problem, I'll do it!"

The fat man swung the giant axe, took a step forward, and struck the wooden door. There was a crash, debris flew everywhere, and a hole was opened in the door. A gloomy cold wind blew out from inside, a faint echo of ferocious laughter, and a chill on the backs of several people. Although there is sunlight above my head, I feel like I am in darkness and being watched by monsters.

The fat man's face trembled a few times, and he quickly stepped back: "Hey, hey, boss, this place is very evil!"

The sounds of ghosts crying and laughing in the castle became more and more obvious, and the faces of the women were a little pale. No matter how tough Leng Yun's character was, or how strong and competitive Liu Shuiyan was, they were still women. Even before entering, the strange castle makes people feel panicked.

"Nonsense! Why don't you come on a trip?" Zhang Mu's sword glowed with green light, "If you're afraid, just stand aside. Lao Hei, let's go in first."

"Who said I'm scared! Let me go first!"

The fat man opened the wooden door and walked in carrying the ax.

Everyone walked into the library one after another. The light in the library was extremely dark, and there were a large number of bookshelves on each floor. Most of the bookshelves were pushed to the ground, and the floor was covered with thick and heavy magic books, covered with a thick layer of dust. No one had come in for at least a month.

Leng Yun and Sun Lin were very interested. Driven by curiosity, they picked up a book and flipped through it. The results were unexpected. These books were not just props. They were full of words, recording the analysis and application of certain spells. Most of the complicated magic words were unknown, so it was difficult to understand them.

A blush appeared on Leng Yun's jade face, "This is a good thing."

But I don’t know how to take out the things in the secret realm.

Zhang Mu walked to Leng Yun's side, reached out to take the book in her hand, flipped through it, and said with a smile: "Very interested?"

Leng Yun rolled her eyes at him: "This is a genuine magic book. Although I can't understand the content, it should analyze the spells and spell applications. If you can master the skills, you can even shorten the spells and use the spells more flexibly!" Leng Yun He said regretfully: "This is something from the secret realm... What a pity."

Zhang Mu closed the book and turned it back into Leng Yun's hand: "Actually, most of the items in the secret realm can be redeemed with killing points. As long as you clear the secret realm, it is not difficult to redeem some magic books."

"Really?"

Leng Yun shouted excitedly.

Sun Lin also felt excited, but looking at the two of them, she felt a little bitter in her heart. Zhang Mu's eyes suddenly fell on her, he smiled slightly at Sun Lin, then turned to the others and said, "Look and see if there is anything useful."

The crowd dispersed.

Sanggou kicked off a broken stool and walked to a small mirror with a brass frame on the wall. He stood over it, and Sanggou's face was reflected in the mirror. His face was full of flesh and scars, and he looked ferocious, even if he stood silently, it would be enough to scare others away from him.

A pale figure suddenly appeared in the bronze mirror, like a female ghost in a horror movie. She was dressed in white robes and her black hair was spread out, completely covering her face. She was suspended on the ceiling, her limbs hanging limply, as if by an invisible thread. The rope was hanging in the air, and his whole body was motionless, like a painting that suddenly appeared.

The mourning dog was startled, "There is something!"

Everyone was shocked. They all clenched their weapons and looked around.

"Tsk tsk tsk tsk..."

"Jiejiejiejie..."

There is a strange laughter that always lingers around my ears, far and near, elusive.

The mourning dog turned around but did not find the figure appearing in the mirror. The others did not find any suspicious targets. When he looked in the mirror again, there was nothing there.

"Strange? I obviously..."

"Sangdog, give me the mirror!"

"oh!"

The mourning dog scratched his head and took off the strange mirror. He was surprised to find that it had properties.

[Mirror of Truth] (secret item), a mirror used to break disguises and see through the truth.

Zhang Mu took the mirror in his hand and looked around the room, but found nothing.

But the sound of crying and laughing still lingered in my ears.

Lin Caiyan felt terrified: "Mu Mu, we..."

"It's okay, let's go upstairs!"

Zhang Mu led others to inspect the two floors one after another.

The bookshelves on the third floor are relatively neatly arranged. The items placed are not entirely magic books, but also some strange scrolls. There is a raised circular platform in the middle of the third floor. There are several stacks of books on an obsidian table. What looked like a portable oil lamp, some quills, and blank scrolls.

Several people were standing guard around, and Zhang Mu went over and picked up the oil lamp.

[Magic Oil Lamp] (secret item), infused with magic, can light up the oil lamp and provide lighting effects, consuming 1 point of magic power every 30 seconds.

A fire lit up in the oil lamp.

The fat man didn't dare to blink, "This ghost place is so creepy, we'd better leave as soon as possible."

"Look around again. There might be something else in the library."

Zhang Mu was searching nearby with an oil lamp. If he remembered correctly, there was an important item here.

A dozen people spread out and searched the bookshelves one by one.

The fat man was impatient, so he accidentally pressed on a wall, causing the entire brick to sink in. It seemed that some mechanism was activated and a mezzanine on the wall opened.

"Boss, I found it"

Zhang Mu walked over and illuminated it with an oil lamp. There was a simple copper box placed in a hidden compartment on the wall. When he opened it, there was a book with a black cover, plus some handwritten information like research notes.

This book has no name, but it exudes a faint magical wave, which seems to attract challengers to walk over. Zhang Mu gently opened the cover. The pages were made of sheepskin. They were full of magic circles and symbols, which contained some kind of power. Just looking at them made him feel dizzy.

"Tip: Found the plot prop [Hate and Death], the plot is 5% complete!"

Everyone else heard the prompt and came towards Zhang Mu.

"What did you find?"

"A strange magic book that seems to have a special purpose."

[Hate and Death] (plot item), held by magicians, temporarily obtains the plot skill—Control the Synthetic Array of Hatred. Introduction: This is a research notebook on ancient necromancy that has been lost for many years. It details the method of using the power of hatred and corpses to synthesize a high-level undead monster "Perfect Abomination".

"I know abomination!" Lei Ming perked up when he heard the word abomination and put down his shield. "I happened to see information about this kind of undead monster in the library. Abomination is a monster made by sewing various corpses. A very advanced undead monster, very powerful! If there is such a thing in the mage castle, we may be in trouble!"

Lin Caiyan asked: "How strong is it?"

"It's hard to say. The strength of hatred is determined by the quality and quantity of synthetic materials. In short, it is not easy to deal with." Lei Ming was thoughtful and suddenly said: "This book was found here. I think it may be a clue!"

Lin Caiyan frowned and said: "That dead ghost mage tried to synthesize hatred, but failed and caused backlash?"

Zhang Mu's mirror reflected several figures, and he immediately shouted: "Be careful!"

A green sword light struck the ceiling, leaving a deep sword mark. Harsh screams echoed above everyone's heads, and pale figures appeared on the ceiling. Their faces were blurred and their bodies were erratic. They were ghost monsters.

"ah!"

Several ghosts let out piercing screams at the same time, and the sound penetrated into the human brain. Each scream caused more than 100 points of damage, and also made people feel a splitting headache and unconsciousness. The ghost floated down from the ceiling, a pair of sharp claws turned purple, and grabbed several people fiercely.

The mourning dog jumped up, but the result was like kicking in the air, with no feeling of hitting.

"Physical attacks are useless!" Zhang Mu reached out to take out the silver snake: "Use magic!"

Lin Caiyan was scared to death by the appearance of the ghost. When she saw that the opponent was just a monster and not unstoppable, she immediately regained some courage and used the priest skill [Healing Chain].

A ray of holy white light shot out from Lin Caiyan's short staff and hit the ghost. It was originally a healing spell but caused more than 500 points of damage. Then it bounced to the other two ghosts, causing high damage again.

Leng Yun and Sun Lin released several fireball wind blades to block the ghost from approaching.

"Exorcism spell!"

"Light spell!"

The exorcist Cheng Bo drew a few spells on the cross. The cross glowed with golden light and slammed into a ghost, causing 900 points of horrific damage. The ghost flew back to the ground. Cheng Bo then The cross flew out and hit another ghost, causing another high damage.

Cheng Bo is an exorcist and a priest. When facing undead monsters, he has a very high damage bonus.

The thrown cross did not fly back. A ghost appeared in front of him out of thin air. The ghost claws held Cheng Bo's neck. Cheng Bo felt a strong sense of suffocation. At the same time, he felt weak and dizzy. There was a dark force coming towards Cheng Bo. Bo body penetration.

"drink!"

Ye Qianqiu stabbed the ghost with a spear, and the white spear light penetrated into the ghost's chest. Due to the attack with some attributes, the ghost was hurt, let out a miserable howl, and fled into the void.

"Where have you gone?"

Zhang Mu used a mirror to look at the ghost's location and fired two lightning bullets, making it disappear completely.

"This thing... is so fucking awesome!"

"This secret realm may have special settings. If we turn on the secret grid, the ghost will be attracted and launch a sneak attack. The ghost's HP is not high, but it is very insidious and its attacks are hard to guard against. Fortunately, there is this mirror, otherwise it would have been killed without knowing it. what happened!"

Leng Yun asked in shock: "Is there no way to see through the invisible ghost?"

"That's not true. It's just that the ghost's invisibility level is too high. It's not easy for players to see through it at this stage. At the very least, with my level 2 eagle eye skill, I can't see through the invisible ghost."

"We are now basically certain that abomination must have been synthesized in the castle!" Lei Ming said with confidence: "The undead everywhere here are the best evidence, because synthesizing abomination requires a large number of undead and corpses, so the undead must be summoned to synthesize abomination. During the process, some problems occurred.”

"The synthesis is 80% failed." Zhang Mu handed the black magic book to Leng Yun, "Beautiful Leng, you can keep this book. Although it cannot be taken out of the secret realm, since it is a plot item, it may come in handy. "

Leng Yun took the magic book and felt a force enter her body. It was a completely unfamiliar piece of knowledge, and a strange spell, which was not an attack, defense, or auxiliary spell. Strictly speaking, it is not even a spell, but a spell that starts or ends the abomination synthesis ritual.

What's the use

Is it possible to help the dead ghost mage fulfill his last wish and form an abomination
