Wizard Bloodline.

Chapter 349: Mosquito Monster, Holy Shrine, Hope of Breakthrough

"Om-"

The young man with bloodshot eyes leaped forward and transformed into a small black arrow more than a foot long in the billowing black smoke.

The small black arrow tore through the void, like lightning that pierced through the underworld. The black trajectory surrounded Ronan who was walking. Wherever he passed, monsters, no matter how big or small, even those with strength as strong as the fourth level, all exploded.

Ronan would occasionally stop and put some valuable monster corpses into the space ring, and Ahashiya was responsible for cleaning up the remaining debris.

Undead minions are probably the easiest to feed, and any filthy things can help them grow.

As Ronan walked, he explored the various things in the waterway. He later encountered several more ghosts similar to the craftsman ghost. One of them was even at the fourth level in strength and could cast some strange ghost spells.

It is estimated that he was a wizard of Keldiim during his lifetime. The remaining spellcasting instinct in his soul made him become a "ghost wizard".

However, Ronan could no longer find any written clues on these ghosts, let alone any relics, as they had long since decayed into ashes over time.

Ronan has been searching for spell nodes along the way, not just the spell nodes of the waterway lighting system. He is trying to dig out more of the truth about the destruction of Keldiim. After all, what the craftsman ghost could see during his lifetime was too narrow, and what it knew might not be the whole truth.

Unfortunately, most of the spell nodes were damaged. Ronan explored straight ahead for more than ten kilometers, lighting up some areas sporadically, like a curious latecomer traveler who broke into an old house covered with spider silk and wiped off some tomb colors and dust.

"GuluGulu——"

The Ghost Arrow showed its power, harvesting the deformed and rotten lives along the way. Ahashiya, who was the main body of the Ghost Arrow, was "eating" with his mouth full of oil. The thick and turbid darkness and undead aura surged all over his body like boiling water. Black smoke billowed around him, and his figure was already moving in a deformed and twisted direction.

Ronan frowned slightly. This was also a bad thing about undead slaves. If they ate too much flesh and blood and residual souls in one breath, the huge and complex will would dilute their original consciousness. The result of this situation was that it would easily cause the undead to backfire.

Ronan already felt that he could no longer suppress Ahashiya's violent and bloodthirsty "rebellion" thoughts. Fortunately, he had taken multiple insurance measures on Ahashiya. In addition to the normal master-servant restrictions, there was also the black cowbell of the Skeleton Deathstroke that could forcibly control him.

Just as Ronan was considering taking Ahashiya back to the cowbell space to nurse him back to health for a while, a sharp buzzing sound came from the front.

Ronan extended his mental power and saw a skeleton covered with mud and moss, kneeling facing a broken waterway stone wall, with his hands seemingly holding something tightly.

And above the top of the corpse, a ball of "black fog" was lingering and flying.

It is not accurate to describe it as black fog. It is more like a swarm of insects. But the strange thing is that every individual in the swarm is like a fragment of a charred page of a book that has been burned through by fire. They do not look like living things at all, yet they keep fluttering around in an odd manner.

When Ronan's eyes fell on the black swarm of insects, a "buzzing" sound suddenly became louder, and the black swarm of insects flew straight towards Ronan.

Ronan's eyes flickered slightly, and the "expanded" Ahashiya let out a violent and suppressed roar, then turned into a small black arrow and shot rapidly towards the direction of the Zerg.

"Oh!"

The black ghost arrow collided with the black insect swarm in mid-air without any obstruction, and the latter exploded with a "bang".

However, Ronan did not look relaxed at all, instead his brows were slightly furrowed.

The exploded swarm of insects then gathered together again, and their aura seemed to be even stronger.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Ronan continuously controlled the ghost arrows, piercing and exploding the insects several times.

The aura of the insect swarm continued to rise, while the turbid and violent aura of Ahashiya subsided a little.

Ronan could finally confirm that this strange swarm of black insects could actually absorb the power from Ahashiya during the battle and in turn strengthen itself!
"Buzzing—"

In the ruins of the empty waterway, the buzzing of the insect swarm became louder and louder, and its size was about a quarter larger than when Ronan first saw it.

The flying speed of the entire swarm of insects was not particularly fast, and they were continuously blown up by ghost arrows, so they were never able to get close to Ronan, but their forward direction did not change. At this rate, they would eventually reach Ronan.

Ronan's expression was calm, but his mind moved slightly. The ghost arrow that had been swimming in the void like a fish suddenly stopped, and then mysterious runes on the arrow lit up.

"Om-"

A strange and bizarre sound was heard, and the slightly vibrating ghost arrow suddenly emitted a circle of black ripples.

[The sound of destruction]!
This was the first time that Ronan had used this power since he had engraved the entire rune of [Sound of Destruction] into Ahashiya's body.

The innate ability of the Comb-Bone Conch, a creature from another world, may also be mixed with some secrets of the ancient polyphonic spell inheritance, and is driven to explode with the power of ghosts!

The black waves swept across the swarm of insects rapidly.

This time, at first sight, the entire swarm of insects exploded.

Then, before it can regroup, the second round of sound waves arrives.

Just like waves of black water washing over and over again, the strange swarm of insects finally began to show new changes.

The "insect corpses" that were as dense as black page fragments fell down, and finally, in the center of the insect swarm, a strange mosquito monster with a hideous shape appeared.

This was definitely the largest mosquito Ronan had ever seen. It had a body that looked like three hooks, dense transparent wings on its back, and soft mouthparts. But looking directly into its scarlet eyes, one would feel his soul being pulled.

It seems that this strange mosquito monster not only absorbs flesh and blood, but also souls.

Ronan's index finger moved slightly, and the ghost arrow trembling in the air adjusted its tip, aimed at the mosquito monster, and disappeared suddenly. The naked eye could only see the black ripples spreading in the void suddenly turning into peaks and valleys to one side, like the tip of a huge transparent spear. The mosquito monster was stabbed, and its body exploded with a "pop" sound, turning into countless blood mists.

Then, a burst of black smoke appeared, and only Ahashiya's soul could be seen again, slowly wiping the corners of his red lips with the back of his hand.

"You're fast enough"

Ronan shook his head and did not rush to put Ahashiya away. Instead, he walked towards the rotten corpse under the place where the dead mosquito monster was lurking.

The strange mosquito monster that can absorb souls is definitely a monster from another world. Its strength is only level four, but its characteristic of becoming stronger as it fights more is enough to become a nightmare for ordinary level four wizards.

In other words, the ghost arrow engraved with [Sound of Destruction] was powerful enough to kill it easily.

Walking up to the corpse, Ronan flicked his sleeves lightly, and his powerful mental force field swept away the dirt and moss covering the surface. Unfortunately, time was too long, and the corpse underneath also shattered and scattered.

A broken black slate was revealed, and there seemed to be some words written on it.

Ronan leaned over casually, and the moment his fingers touched the stone slab, his eyes suddenly froze.

"The Stone of the Holy Shrine?!"

He picked up a piece of broken stone slab quickly and unexpectedly, without even bothering to check the words on it.

"Yes, it is indeed the material of the Holy Shrine Stone."

Ronan carefully examined the slate in his hand with a strange look on his face.

He had personally touched several shrines and was very familiar with the unique black stone that carried the power of the shrine.

He looked down at the words on the stone slab below and pieced them together. There was only a short sentence - [They tried to... use the power of the altar to transform the monsters that escaped from the cracks]

The last word looked very sloppy, as if the author had died before it was finished.

“Failed in the end?

Or maybe the process of building the waterway undoubtedly dug out a channel connecting to another world, releasing monsters from another world, which was just the cause.
What really caused the disaster was that the wizards of the Keldiim Empire conducted some unknown secret experiments on this basis, but ultimately failed to come to an end. "

Ronan's speculation is not without reason. In many cases, overconfidence is the cause of disaster.

Just like the ancient secrets that Molly had told him, the arrogant ancient wizards abused the world stone and eventually led to a drastic change in the entire world structure.
Of course, Ronan was not interested in verifying this now. His attention was all focused on the word "altar" on the black stone slab.

"The altar of the shrine?"

He directly took out a pitch-black stone ball from the space ring. There was a crack on the stone ball, but unfortunately no light could come out of the crack.

The power of the defensive shrine had been completely consumed by Ronan during the Minotaur's Labyrinth.

Ronan tapped the surface of the stone ball with his palm, and a faint wave of magic came out from his palm. The next second, in the field of vision that only he could see, he suddenly saw -

In the black stone ball, dozens or even hundreds of translucent black lines radiated out in an instant!

Ronan was stunned for a moment, and then he was filled with surprise.

There are dozens or even hundreds of holy shrines and altars buried in the ancient waterway? !

His [Austere Body Tempering] had been stuck at the master level 1599 proficiency for a long time, so he took the initiative to go out several times to look for the power of the shrine that could help [Austere Body Tempering] break through.

But after several attempts, the shrines I found were either already opened or not the one I wanted.

Moreover, each shrine is located in a remote and unknown place, and often after a long journey, all you get is a false joy.

This method of looking for a needle in a haystack and taking a chance has made Ronan feel a little tired.

Now, dawn suddenly appeared before Ronan's eyes.

"There are dozens or even hundreds of holy shrines and altars. Even if it's purely a matter of luck, I should be able to come across one once..."

Ronan took a deep breath and suppressed his agitated emotions.

This trial that concerns the title of "Son of the Spirit Lake" and even the competition for a higher position, he no longer has to wander aimlessly.

Since we are exploring anyway, we might as well look for the shrine we want while exploring the ancient waterways.

Just as he was thinking about it, Ahashiya, who was guarding beside him, suddenly let out a slightly uneasy growl.

Ronan looked up and saw Ahashiya staring at a direction in the darkness ahead, with an urge to take action as if he were facing a formidable enemy.

He extended his mental power to investigate, and soon he "saw" a swarm of black insects that was more than ten times larger than the ones that had previously occupied the place. They were "buzzing" with thunderous sounds and were rushing towards this side quickly.

Ronan put away the stone slab under his feet, narrowed his eyes slightly, and stood up.

"Level 5 Mosquito Monster?!"
