After hearing the shrill whistle, several people in the tent suddenly woke up.
The warrior and rogue Maple Leaf quickly grabbed the light armor hanging on the side and wore it on their bodies. Fortunately, it was not heavy armor, otherwise the battle would be over by the time it was worn through.
Pastor Youyou had already stood up and walked over to open the curtain of the tent. She looked out and said, "It's too dark to see clearly. The bonfires are also out."
The entire convoy also started to move at this time. Compared with Maple Leaf and the others, several warriors wore armor and slept while on standby according to Roja's regulations.
"Ah-" Suddenly another scream came, tearing apart the tranquility that had been restored.
Zhao Xu also folded the scroll at this time. Although the process of transcribing the spell into the mind was interrupted, it would not affect it too much, but the scroll could no longer be used to cast spells.
Then there was another terrifying wailing sound.
All kinds of chaotic sounds came and went, like a chaos of war.
"Run. I can't take it anymore."
"how do I-"
Upon hearing these terrifying sounds, Pastor Youyou froze, and his hand that originally opened the door curtain relaxed.
"Be careful of the undead." Zhao Xu thought for a while and said.
If the wolves only came out at night, they wouldn't beat the people outside like this without being able to fight back.
Faced with this situation, Zhao Xu cast a spell in advance to give himself a first-level arcane protection from evil.
The spell lasts one minute per caster level, which is enough for him to use.
This spell also allows him to increase level 2 defense and level 2 immunity when facing evil enemies, both of which are increased by 10%.
More importantly, the spell can provide protection from evil creatures such as mind control.
At this time, several people also finished dressing urgently. The poet grabbed a torch nearby and lit it before preparing to go out.
Zhao Xu quickly stopped the poet and whispered: "Is the performance at level 3? If you can, sing it immediately when you go out, and choose the song 'Boost Morale'." "
The poet looked down at the captain Maple Leaf for a moment, and after receiving the other's approval eyes, he also nodded.
"Singing" is the poet's supernatural ability, which can strengthen all teammates who hear the singing. Even if the poet stops singing, the effect can still last for five rounds.
At this time, the warrior Maple Leaf took the lead in holding a round shield and stood in front to lead them out.
The entire camp seemed to have been blown away by a storm, and several nearby tents had been knocked down by people who were scared away.
The torches they lit here became the only bright spot next to the stream.
The song of the poet Antarctic Frog reached their ears at the right time.
[Adventurer Zhongxia received the blessing of "boosting combat power" from the poet's chant, saving +1 morale against charm and fear effects, +1 morale on attack and damage rolls, lasting 5 rounds or more.]
Only then could Zhao Xu and others see clearly, a looming figure wearing a robe standing more than ten meters in front of them.
"Ghost!" Zhao Xu, who had seen this terrifying creature in his previous life, shouted fiercely.
But before he could tell everyone to close their eyes, he felt a sting in his own eyes, and then returned to normal again, as if he had suffered some kind of shock.
[Adventurer Zhong Xia suffered the impact of the ghost's "terrifying appearance". Fortitude check 7+D20=7+11=18, DC18. Successfully passed the saving throw, avoiding 1d4 strength damage, 1d4 agility damage, and 1d4 points of physical damage]
Seeing this news, Zhao Xu almost couldn't help shouting about luck.
Of those 7 points of toughness, 2 points come from the priest profession, 2 points come from physical adjustment, 2 points are his protection from evil spells, and the last 1 point is the poet's chant.
There was still a 50% chance that he would be hit. Fortunately, the test result was good and he passed the exemption.
Otherwise, if these three attributes are damaged, he will be disabled a lot.
"My front three measurements are damaged." The rogue who failed the saving throw said in pain, "Physique is the worst, it directly deducted 4 attribute points from me, and I only have 5 HP left."
"Me too." The poet murmured, but he immediately continued singing to provide them with combat power.
Zhao Xuze continued to stare carefully at the ghost in front of him. This kind of creature had almost been wiped out by his men in his previous life, which was why he was still frightened.
Just looking at the opponent within 20 meters will cause him to be hit by the opponent.
Fortunately, he had just successfully exempted himself and would no longer be affected by the "horrifying appearance" ability for at least 24 hours.
The warrior continued to hold his shield in front of them tremblingly, and he did not dare to risk moving forward at this moment.
The humanoid ghost turned around at this moment and looked directly at Zhao Xu and the others with a sneer. The looming and fierce face seemed to be between the spirit world and reality.
Suddenly, under the faint light of the torch, Roja, who was lurking over, held the giant sword in his hand with both hands and slashed straight at the ghost.
That night, the huge sword with the cold light just cut into the opponent's body without the ghost taking the initiative to dodge.
As long as you give up dodge, no matter how high the defense level is, you will receive a -5 agility penalty, and only a few bonuses can take effect.
But the expression on Roja's face changed from ecstasy to shock. His most trusted sword was like cutting into the air, heading towards the ground without any hindrance.
It was as if the ghost in front of him did not exist in the real world.
The surrounding convoy guards who saw this scene were so frightened that they peed their pants on the spot.
In their eyes, this ghost is as unsolvable as a legend.
"Run quickly, no magic weapon can harm the ghost." Zhao Xu shouted.
Hearing this, Roja also turned pale.
He has understood that all power will leave him, and the efforts represented by the countless scars on his body will be reduced to ashes tonight.
But no matter how unwilling he was, Roja quickly turned around and ran away.
The ghost that was already facing Zhao Xu and others felt Luo Ya's sword. It turned back contemptuously and glared at Luo Ya who was running away.
The mysterious power shot out from the eyes of the ghost, silently and without a trace. However, Roja, who had his back to the ghost, felt as if he had been hit by an invisible arrow through the heart, and fell to his knees directly, unable to move at all.
The four players who saw this strange scene couldn't help but feel their legs weak. Even the poet who was singing inspiring songs was trembling.
Roja was just a warrior, with a higher level than them, and more health points than Maple Leaf, the warrior with the highest health points present.
Even he fell directly, so Zhao Xu and the other five are the likely targets to fall next.
"Don't worry, Roja is not dead yet. The real death is when the health value is lower than -10. That is the ghost's 'Corrupting Gaze' attack. If you fail the Fortitude save, you will receive 2D10 damage and 1D4 charm damage."
Zhao Xu hurriedly comforted him, lest the ghosts would scatter before they came over and be defeated one by one.
After hearing that it was a Fortitude save, at least the warrior was a little relieved. He at the front had just passed the Fortitude save and blocked the impact of the ghost's "terrible appearance".
This successful experience allowed him to regain some courage.
In an instant, the ghost knocked down Roja and flew towards them regardless.
At that perfect maneuverability and flying speed, a distance of less than 10 meters is not a problem at all.
Everyone present had no magic weapons and could not harm the ghost.
Zhao Xu directly chanted the spell.
