The Rise of the Cemetery

Chapter 0030 Sneak Attack and Anti-Sneak Attack

The night was still dark.

An invisible shadow seemed to be swimming in the intermittent shadows everywhere, sometimes in the shadows of houses, sometimes in the reflections of patrolling soldiers, and sometimes in the shaking shadows of torches.

With the non-stop jumping, the shadow gradually left the village of Rutheran, and plunged into the nearest mountain forest. After going 7-8 miles deep, it stopped in front of a tall old tree.

"Come in!" A cracked and hoarse voice suddenly sounded.

Without hesitation, he plunged into the trunk of the ancient tree, a wave of magic ripples fluctuated slightly, and the shadow disappeared as if it had merged into the trunk.

There is not much space in the tree, only a skinny mage sitting cross-legged in a cloak, his whole body is completely covered, only when he looks up occasionally, he can see two dancing green flames from under the hood.

In front of the mage was a stick with a strange shape. The body of the stick was coiled by two poisonous snakes, intertwined to the top to form a pair of coiled snake beads, and a huge soul magic bead was fixed on the head of the stick.

The shadow seemed to dare not approach the staff at all, hovering in the farthest distance, and finally condensed into a dwarf, bowing to the mage.

"Have you given the things to him? What did he say that was useful?" The mage's ugly voice sounded, and he turned his head as if communicating with the dwarf.

"Maybe something happened to Tomur's team? I need you to find out his whereabouts. Tomur is a junior who was specially told by the high-ranking mage Amwet. How could he fail in a small ambush mission? The other party Is he just a low-level mage?"

After the dwarf got the order, his body exploded violently, turning into wisps of smoke, and jumped through the illusion circle behind him towards the direction given by the necromancer.

Dozens of miles of mountain roads were fleeting, and half an hour later, shadows had already appeared in the camp where Li Xun fought last time. After carefully inspecting the battlefield, the shadow re-condensed into the appearance of a dwarf and stopped at the place where the necromancer died, hesitating. It doesn't seem right! Master Nicholas said that the two necromancers were low-level mages who came to ambush humans, but it seems that there has been a small-scale military confrontation here, and it is by no means a simple magical attack between three or two mages.

No enemy corpses could be seen on the entire battlefield, but judging from the death distribution of skeletons, zombies, ghosts, and vampires under the necromancers, the two sides were at a stalemate at first, and then the enemy broke through the defense line of the zombies in the middle and killed two necromancers in one fell swoop. Can a low-level human mage do this? Where did he get reinforcements from?

Ruseran Village has always been under the supervision of a necromancer. It is impossible for him not to know that a large-scale army is dispatched. A small-scale army is powerless to resist dozens of skeletons and zombies. An army of knights? But Hans didn't mention a large group of knights at all!

With all kinds of doubts, the dwarf turned into a shadow and circled for a while, and went straight to the camp along the route Li Xun had walked. On the way, Li Xun turned around twice at the teleportation point where Li Xun teleported back to Eternal Night City, feeling the faint and undetectable spatial fluctuations in the sky, and the shadow became more cautious.

A low-level mage who can use space spells? No matter whether you use scrolls or magic items, you should be careful. Space spells are full of all kinds of mysterious and difficult methods. If you don't pay attention, you may suffer a big loss. My own shadow shuttle can be regarded as a kind of space magic, but it belongs to my own innate skills, so I can use it so freely.

Outside the cave where Li Xun was resting, more than a dozen lickers were hiding in the forest tops, piles of weeds, crevices of stone walls, etc., motionless, with only vigilant eyes scanning every move around them. The entrance of the cave was not big, and was covered by a black cloth to conceal the light of the bonfire inside.

The shadows cruised slowly in the reflections among the trees, silently looking at these ugly creatures that had never been seen before. It really looks like a ghoul, an undead creature, but there are many details that are very different. Could it be that the one in the cave is also a necromancer, a genius necromancer who can improve undead creatures?

It didn't alarm many "sentries", nor did it touch the magic warning at the entrance of the cave. The shadow jumped and appeared in the shadow on the cave roof, condescendingly peeping at everything inside.

One person, one skeleton, 5 "ghouls".

The one wrapped in bedding and lying in the innermost part of the cave should be the sorcerer he was looking for, and he couldn't see his face from this angle. Five "ghouls" are scattered in the cave and crawling all over the place. The only thing that attracts attention is the 3-meter-high skeleton sitting quietly by the campfire. It is equipped with armor, shield and sword. At least it is a skeleton general. There is a breathtaking aura there, which can't help but make the shadow re-raise the evaluation of the skeleton, the king of skeletons.

King-level undead creatures like this are difficult to obtain through summoning, and they can only be found in the undead plane. It is impossible for a king-level undead to naturally evolve in the main material world, and such a powerful undead will only be as strong as the undead. How could a powerful mage sign a friendly contract for a low-level mage on duty at night?

do not care! No matter what mysterious background he has, if he dies, he will have nothing!

A defenseless low-level mage and a group of physical attacking men, as a shadow killer, I have nothing to worry about!

The mage still didn't move, and even snored slightly. The skeleton sat by the campfire, with its back to the mage, and its eyes were fixed on the entrance of the cave. Under the reflection of the bonfire, the silhouette of the skeleton was projected on the ground, very close to the mage.

Everything seems to be prepared for me, the shadow killer, I just need to jump over and touch the mage's neck lightly, and the task for tonight is completed.

Without hesitation, the next moment, the Shadow Killer had already appeared in the reflection of the Skeleton King, transformed into a dwarf again and gently raised the Soul Eater dagger in his hand.

Before it could make an attack, the Skeleton King turned around sharply, and the giant sword slashed at the dwarf's back in a black and red arc, taking away a large cloud of black smoke. Underworld fire crit! Just when the dwarf was horrified to find that he could not move any part of his body, Li Xun turned his finger and pressed it on the forehead. An "Immortal Flame" instantly blessed the dwarf's body, and then he rolled to the side with the quilt Fang, after leaving the dwarf for a certain distance, jumped up suddenly, and the "Dancing Lights" and "Lighting Techniques" had been thrown to both ends of the cave, lighting up the cave instantly.

After all the shadows in the cave were expelled, the dwarf woke up from the shock of his soul, watched his body gradually turn into a solid body under the blessing of "Eternal Flame", let out a piercing scream, and turned to avoid the huge attack of the Skeleton King. The sword was hit by Li Xun's "soul moth", and the intensity of the scream instantly doubled.

Damn it, this is the most vicious trap ever! They actually knew that they were shadow creatures, and all the attacks they used just now were aimed at the soul, and none of them could be exempted. The most damning thing is this "Immortal Flame". With it's blessing on the body, it is a trivial matter not to be able to escape from Shadow Leap. What is even more frightening is that after the body is forced to turn into a real body, the physical attacks that were originally immune to it are now impossible. .

No, get out of here immediately!

While avoiding the attacks of Skeleton King and Li Xun flexibly, the determined dwarf peeked at the entrance of the cave. Looking at the five "ghouls" blocking the entrance of the cave, he couldn't help cursing, secretly feeling bad.

When it was cut in the back by the Skeleton King just now, it was still incorporeal, but it consumed a lot of energy and did not cause much real damage, but Li Xun's soul attack spell actually hurt it. After all, other creatures have a body to carry the soul, and can be exempted from a certain degree of damage, but now it is completely a combination of shadow matter and soul, and it must bear full damage when encountering a soul attack spell. Therefore, in the process of moving towards the entrance of the cave, the dwarf encountered an attack that he could not hide from. He would rather be hit by the Skeleton King than be hit by Li Xun's spell. Soon he regretted his wrong choice.

The Skeleton King's second ghostfire crit hit the dwarf smoothly. Taking advantage of the dizziness of the dwarf, Li Xun exploded with all his strength and blasted the dwarf into pieces with magic missiles, scorching rays, and blazing balls, completely annihilating the dwarf. This difficult shadow creature.

At the same time as the soul of the shadow creature was shattered, the necromancer who was far away in the ancient tree raised his head, and the green flame under the hood suddenly exploded, and the backlash of the contract made him groan. After finally stabilizing the shock of his soul, the necromancer pondered for a while, and his heart was also full of surprises.

The Shadow Killer is indeed not a powerful guy, but that's only for high-level mages like them. A middle-level mage who has not prepared in advance will not even have a chance to escape when encountering a shadow killer, let alone a low-level mage.

What is the origin of this low-level mage? I used to look down on him, thinking that two same low-level necromancers plus nearly a hundred undead creatures could eat him steadily, so I let Tomur, who had a relationship, lead the team to gain experience, but I didn't expect to hurt him never come back. This time, even the shadow killer, the most handy contract creature he used, died there inexplicably. It is a small matter to hurt his soul, but how to get in and out of Rutheran Village later is a big problem!

A Shadow Killer without undead breath and Shadow Leap can easily enter and leave Rutheran Village, which is full of magic warning circles. What should we do now? How to keep in touch with those corpse puppets inside? It is not impossible to cast spells remotely to control corpse puppets, but the spells fluctuate too much, and it is easy to be sensed by the warning circle inside, so it is absolutely impossible at present, and it will destroy all the previous arrangements.

Thinking of all the troubles caused by the death of the Shadow Killer, Nicholas, a high-level necromancer at level 11, felt annoyed for a while. He wanted to catch that nasty little mage immediately, transform his body into a zombie, and burn his soul with flames. Let him cry forever. After estimating the distance, knowing that rushing now would not help, he could only curse bitterly, and calm down to think about how to remedy the loopholes in the plan.
