The "Resentful Soul" itself cannot cause any physical attacks and can only rely on the ability to absorb attributes. There is absolutely nothing that Zhao Xu can do.
Zhao Xu, who heard the unusual aspect of the plot, boldly walked forward.
The "resentful soul" itself belongs to a crazy soul and cannot communicate with him at all.
Moreover, as he got closer, the sound of muttering in his ears became more intense. Coupled with the deep and closed space, the "resentful spirits" suspended above his head were like clusters of ghosts, which looked extremely... Shameful.
However, as a male, Zhao Xu is also a "mage" and "priest" who possesses magic, so he is naturally confident in dealing with incorporeal undead creatures.
At this time, he had no distracting thoughts at all and took a closer look at these undead creatures.
After knowing that every building in this "Land of Sleepers" was actually Arthur's former "haunted house", he became slightly worried about Wang Ningwei and Eswig who might be hiding in this city.
More than 20 "revengeful souls" with challenge level 3 are only numbered at the beginning of "low", and those with "medium" and "high" danger numbers that follow, even if Zhao Xu uses the power of the "Lord of the Undead", he may not be able to deal with them. .
Zhao Xu's eyes fell on the "resentful souls" floating on the ceiling. He scanned them one by one, as if identifying them.
After seeing that Lux was a little confused, Zhao Xucai said: "We finally heard that the murderers were thrown in here and imprisoned to death, leaving them to be dealt with by these resentful spirits. It sounded very relieved."
"It's just that this is really a means to eliminate the 'resentful souls', not to create an 'Anta City'."
"Just like the creatures in the 'ghost' template, as long as their last wishes are fulfilled, they can dissipate normally. Although the 'ghost' is not bound to dissipate, it is somewhat close."
Lux listened to Zhao Xu's analysis, "Master, are you saying that those people who were thrown in were not actually the murderers?"
However, Zhao Xu shook his head, "I just listened to the voices of a total of twenty-two resentful souls here, and then created files one by one, and then analyzed them based on the titles and content mentioned in their speeches, and discovered something."
After Zhao Xu's memory improved, he was able to make drafts directly in his mind. No matter how confusing the information clues were, he could sort them out one by one.
"Although they were kidnapped and tortured by the four murderers, there is someone else behind the scenes."
Zhao Xu's tone was cold. At this moment, he turned his head and looked at the mysterious painting at the corner when he just came down the stairs.
"Because the murderers who were used as sacrifices have also become 'revengeful spirits'! They are also arguing in pain."
"The resentful souls themselves possess 'crazy' supernatural abilities. Anyone who tries to detect, control or sense their minds will be harmed by perception. This may be why the town did not realize the truth in the first place." Zhao Xu said .
Zhao Xu now has the "undead" characteristic, which means he is immune to attribute absorption, not attribute damage, so he did not try it rashly.
After combing through it, he found that there were still many resentful souls whose dialogues and logic did not match up. It seemed that everyone was telling different things. This could only be determined by the subsequent evidence excavation.
Thinking of this, Zhao Xu couldn't help but look at the other rooms connected to the hall.
If the four murderers who tortured the tourists at the beginning were themselves controlled by "magic", it means that this murderous room itself was deliberately created.
And this means that those priests of Naraku, the God of Death, are very suspicious.
Their job is to scold and even order the undead.
Those who dispel and destroy undead creatures should be priests of the Good God.
It was only at the beginning that the other party directly threw the murderer into the haunted house. This method, which the good priest could not do, attracted everyone's attention.
This shows that the appearance of the resentful spirit in this room from the beginning was a "premeditated" action.
After discussing his speculation with Lux, Zhao Xu also slowed down his pace and explored several other rooms in this completely dark space.
He already felt that he might have inadvertently touched the truth behind the establishment of the "Land of the Sleeping Man".
According to Lux, the houses in the entire city are composed of "haunted houses" where "undead creatures" appear.
It's just that Zhao Xu now discovered that there are actually signs that humans can create in these places
Even the killing itself may have been deliberate.
Perhaps it means that the emergence of "Anta City" is not such a natural thing.
In this way, Anta City, the "Land of Sleepers", is more than just a city of undead creatures.
At this time, Zhao Xu gently pushed open a half-open door and found that the furniture inside had also been cleared away. Apparently, when the house was first moved, all the furniture inside was cleared away.
After confirming that there were no other abnormalities inside, Zhao Xu also tried to walk into the room, which was about three meters by four meters, and slowly wandered to the window with the door panel nailed shut.
This time, there was finally no sudden flash of bloody handprints. They were still those Arthur's popular incantations to "destroy the undead".
"This?" Lux exclaimed at this time.
Zhao Xu also looked at the board carefully and understood what Lux said.
There are traces of scratches on these wooden boards nailed from the inside, as if someone had struggled to escape here.
The resentful soul itself cannot leave any physical traces.
"Is this what the murderers who were imprisoned left behind?" Lux guessed.
Zhao Xu just nodded and didn't say much.
Suddenly, Zhao Xu squatted down and touched the wooden floor that had become pitted due to lack of care for a long time.
Then he took out a drill originally used for climbing from the ordinary backpack on his back, inserted it directly into the cracked gap on the floor, and pried it hard.
The wooden floor, which was no bigger than a step, was turned over.
The dazzling red words directly occupied Zhao Xu's sight.
Behind these wooden floors are carved blood-red ritual incantations.
Zhao Xu, who had confirmed his judgment, could only shake his head helplessly. As expected, the things these evil priests did were not much better.
No wonder the former God of Death was of the evil camp.
When the floor of this room was first laid, this undead ritual of transforming resentful souls had already been prepared.
Everything that happens next happens under deliberate guidance.
After understanding this, Zhao Xu also stood up directly.
"It seems that in this city with chaotic buildings, the layout of each building has its own deeper meaning."
As he spoke, Zhao Xu couldn't help but look at the ground beneath his feet. I'm afraid there were corresponding ritual spells running the city there.
The question is, what was the purpose of the situation that the God of Death deliberately built when he was still alive
He even left part of his godhead for this purpose until it was later acquired by "Edmund".
This kind of layout was not uncovered until the death of the God of Death. It is like a mage's backhand. If it is not used until death, it is not a backhand.
Zhao Xu knew that he was involved in a shocking secret.
But at this moment, he has no way out. He can only continue to overcome obstacles like his former ancestor 'Edmund'.
"Master, what should we do next?" Lux obviously realized the seriousness of the matter.
But Zhao Xu has calmed down, "Remember the last two times I used the 'divine pattern'? The destructive power to the city is increasing every time, so wait until I use the extraordinary divine power of the 'Lord of the Undead' for the last time." At that time, I am afraid that this time it will be a big shock that will affect half of the city."
"That's when we might be able to see the meaning of the rituals that the city has set up."
"As for now, it's time to give full play to the role of our three-ring mage."
As he spoke, Zhao Xu took out a ball of white wax from his backpack, and then took out an alcohol lamp. He put on gloves and used the alcohol lamp to heat the white wax in his hand so that it could be shaped, and he immediately pinched out a ball of more than ten centimeters in diameter. The "ring" comes.
In the absence of the "Howard Convenience Bag", Zhao Xu can no longer carry many of his spell-casting equipment.
Spellcasting itself requires many elements, such as "spells", "postures", "materials", "equipment", etc.
The materials are consumable, and any material that does not exceed 1 gold coin can be replaced with the "Casting without Materials" feat.
But "equipment" cannot be replaced, and the same is true for the ring made of white wax in Zhao Xu's hand as the next "casting equipment".
After finishing, Zhao Xu put the ring on his head, and at the same time took out a ball of cloth wrapped tightly from his pocket, spread it gently, and let the soil from the cemetery inside fall in front of his eyes.
Then Zhao Xu began to sing, his deep voice sounding like a plaintive whisper beside the cemetery.
Slowly, driven by Zhao Xu's spell and the seal in his hand, the scattered cemetery soil began to rise into the sky, and bit by bit entangled on his white wax ring.
Then a gloomy and cold white energy ball appeared directly in the palm of Zhao Xu's hand. With an ominous aura, he decisively poured it into the top of his head.
"Graveyard Crown."
The original white wax headband was taken off by Zhao Xu, and a ghostly mist appeared directly above the head to form a new ring, and then disappeared again.
In the end, only a crown of human bones made by magic was left floating on his head.
