Infinite Bloodcore
Chapter 17: Exhuming corpses late at night
In the dark and dilapidated dock, the moonlight shines in through the gaps.
The skinny old scholar's eyes were as cold as ice at this moment, and the souls of the two thieves kept begging for mercy in front of him.
Bai Ya is no longer shackles and is free again. He fell to the ground. The feeling at that moment was something he would never forget for the rest of his life.
The thief's soul flew behind his ears, brushed over most of his body, and gave him a chill that penetrated his body.
"Please, spare us!"
"Don't kill me, don't kill me. I have money, and I will give you all my savings."
The soul keeps tumbling and wailing.
The scene suddenly changed.
Necromancer!
Corrupt darkness, mysterious death, coldness and cruelty, playing with the dead, manipulating souls...
Necromancers have never been tolerated by orthodoxy, and everyone calls for beating them. In the Shengming Empire, the intensity of hunting down necromancers is even greater. As long as they are discovered, they will be vigorously hunted and killed, and will never be tolerated.
Bai Ya couldn't help but chattered her teeth from the cold.
Growing up, he had heard many horror stories. The protagonists of these stories are often necromancers.
Although he already knew Cang Xu's identity before. But at this moment, the weird and terrifying scene of Cang Xu interrogating his soul still aroused endless fear in Bai Ya's heart.
Cang Xu asked about the cultists.
Thieves are always well informed.
The soul of a thief spoke urgently: "The mayor led a large number of people and surrounded the small dock. After the city defense army broke in, they saw the cultists opening the floor and trying to escape into the water. As a result, the priest and the city defense army also The commanders all took action together and subdued him."
The soul of another thief immediately added: "After the cultist was arrested, the mayor discussed with others to hang him in public in the afternoon a week later."
"The mayor, priests and city defense commanders, for the sake of political achievements and glory, publicized this matter, and even hired bards to compile a piece of music. Every night, the mermaid must sing it at least once in the tavern .”
"Actually, the real arrest process was very smooth, not as twists and turns as in the song."
Cang Xu narrowed his eyes, feeling very strange.
The symbol under the floor was obviously carved on purpose. How could a person with this symbol be arrested like this?
"Where is his body?" Cang Xu asked.
"He was hanged, and then hung on the noose for a week. Finally, he was buried in a mass grave in the back hill of the town." The thief's soul knows everything.
Cang Xu fell into silence.
His eyes shifted again to the wooden floor that could be lifted away.
The board felt very strange to him now.
If this cultist was who Cang Xu thought he was, he would never be arrested and hanged like this. And this wooden floor is totally unnecessary.
"No, this might be a disguise!"
Cang Xu's heart suddenly shook, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, giving him a new perspective.
"How was the identity of this cultist exposed?" Cang Xu asked again.
This time, both thieve souls shook their heads.
All they knew were rumors. The pastor of the church first received a tip and found that the cultists were behaving strangely. Then the priest found the mayor, who sent city guard sergeants to investigate and confirmed the evil beliefs of the cultists.
Cang Xu nodded and started singing again.
The souls of the two thieves were immediately in agony, screaming and rolling crazily in mid-air.
After a dozen breaths, one of their souls suddenly exploded, while the other soul stabilized. The original translucent humanoid form turned into dark blue. The original human face was relatively clear, but after the transformation, his face became very blurry, leaving only a mouth, two eye sockets, and the rest of the nose and ears. All disappear.
Necromancy - Ghost Making!
This spell uses the soul of a living being as its material to create a ghost. Obviously, the spell has a certain chance of success, as it is now: only one of the two souls turns into a ghost.
After the thief ghost transformed, he lost many things, not just his human appearance. He no longer begged for mercy, but floated quietly in mid-air, waiting for the next instruction from his master, Cang Xu.
"Float down and check the situation on the seabed nearby." Cang Xu gave the order, and the ghost floated leisurely, directly penetrated the wooden floor of the dock, and quickly merged into the sea water.
"Young man, I hope you can look after me again, can you?" Cang Xu said to Bai Ya with a smile.
Bai Ya was stunned for a moment, nodded quickly, ran out in a hurry, and guarded the door.
Cang Xu chanted again, and at the same time took out a pitch-black bone.
After the chanting ended, the pitch-black bones turned into smoke and completely dispersed.
With the help of spell casting materials, Cang Xu successfully cast another necromancy spell - Ghost Eyes.
When he opened his eyes, his eyes were completely dark.
The situation at the bottom of the sea was directly presented in his mind. While controlling the ghosts with his mind, he carefully searched the bottom of the sea.
There is a discovery!
Soon after, he discovered that there was a magic circle hidden in the seabed, and the magic circle covered the entrance.
Because on the sea floor, this entrance is like a circular valve.
"There is probably an underground research laboratory under the valve!" Cang Xu estimated in his mind.
Then, he manipulated the ghost and tested it carefully.
The magic circle only has the function of camouflaging isolation, and does not have any counterattack or trap.
Because it is protected by the power of magic, the thief ghost cannot use its own advantages and penetrate directly.
Cang Xu didn't try it rashly.
He thought for a while and gave up his plan to break through the magic circle and valve for the time being.
White buds surround the marina and patrol the beach. The beach under the moonlight was originally beautiful, but the young man had just witnessed the evil scene in which the necromancer killed two thieves and extracted the souls to make ghosts. Bai Ya had no intention of appreciating the beautiful scenery.
He looked up at the moon and felt confused.
"I want to be a knight. Why are you here? Am I an accomplice of the Necromancer? In those stories and poems, I am a villain."
Bai Ya was troubled.
He wanted to be a knight, not the sinister lackey of an evil necromancer.
Squeak.
With a sound, Cang Xu opened the door and walked out of the small dock.
Bai Ya rushed forward to greet him, but soon, his footsteps paused slightly.
The ghost of the thief was floating behind Cang Xu.
"Let's go." Cang Xu said calmly.
Bai Ya followed obediently, but subconsciously kept a distance from Cang Xu.
The young people originally thought they were going to join San Dao and Lan Zao, but the path was obviously wrong.
"Where are we going?" Bai Ya asked worriedly.
"Hahaha, let's go to a more important place to verify one of my conjectures." Cang Xu smiled.
If you don't know the identity of the blue-bearded necromancer, then this smile is very natural. But at this moment, Bai Ya always felt that Cang Xu's smile was filled with an icy chill, which was extremely penetrating.
The young man has mixed feelings about Cang Xu.
On the one hand, he saved Cang Xu's life. If Bai Ya hadn't taken action, Cang Xu would have been eaten by the green lizard.
On the other hand, after Bai Ya fell into coma, Cang Xu advocated using Bai Ya's meat as food. When Bai Ya learned about this later, he understood and naturally felt disgusted with Cang Xu.
On the other hand, Cang Xu has taught Bai Ya many times, and his knowledge makes the young people admire him from the bottom of his heart.
Finally, Cang Xu finally revealed his identity as a necromancer on the mysterious island, and Bai Ya became more afraid of him.
There was a ghost leading the way, and the two of them soon arrived at the mass grave at the back of the mountain.
Looking at the swaying tombstones, overgrown with dead grass, and the whistling night wind, Bai Ya looked calm.
He didn't worry about any ghosts coming to trouble him.
"There is a necromancer beside me." At this moment, Bai Ya felt a subtle sense of security because of Cang Xu.
The ghost flew for a long time and stopped in one place leisurely.
He pointed his finger at the lower part of his body and let out a whimpering cry.
Cang Xu turned to look at Bai Ya: "Young man, there is something I want you to help with."
Soon, Bai Ya found a dead wood pile and split it into a simple wooden shovel.
The young man held a wooden shovel in his hand and began to dig the ground.
"What am I doing?"
"I'm actually digging up corpses!"
"How on earth did it become like this?"
"I want to be a knight, not an accomplice of the Necromancer."
The soil gradually opened up, and Bai Ya was suddenly startled and almost fell to the ground again.
He found a body buried in the dirt.
"Well done, young man, take him out completely. Don't be too rough." Cang Xu made a voice.
Bai Ya held his breath. The corpse smelled too bad. The whole flesh and blood was in a semi-rotted state. In some places, bones were rotten, while in other places there was still corpse flesh, with white maggots wriggling inside.
Bai Ya suppressed her fear and nausea and tried her best to dig out the body.
Cang Xu squatted down and looked through the male corpse without any disgust. His movements were very skillful, but what frightened Bai Ya even more was Cang Xu's attitude.
His attitude towards this male corpse was no different from that towards the corpses of those beasts.
When Bai Ya was on the Mysterious Island, he saw Cang Xu dissecting the bodies of those artificial monsters more than once. Beneath his calm eyes lies curiosity, as well as the wonderful pleasure of satisfying curiosity through practical exploration.
"Young man, do you know? Although people are dead, in many cases, corpses can tell us many secrets." Cang Xu was indeed very happy.
Bai Ya was confused: "Sir, why don't you just use the magic just now? As long as we summon the soul of the deceased, we can ask everything."
Cang Xu shook his head: "After a person dies, look for Shuyuan www.zhaoshuyuan.com. The existence of the soul is time-limited. This is not only a shackle for the resurrection magic, but also a restriction for the undead magic. He has been dead for a long time, and the soul has dissipated. . But precisely because of this, it can actually explain some problems better."
"what is the problem?"
"The deceased was not the real cultist."
"What?"
"He found the unlucky guy who died for him." Cang Xu said, stood up straight, stretched out his foot and gently hooked the body of the deceased, turning it over so that his back was facing the sky and his face was facing the ground. posture.
Then, Cang Xu took out the medicine bag from his arms and sprinkled the powder.
He murmured in his mouth, mentally leveraging the magic power contained in the powder, and the air faintly fluctuated.
The powder fell on the body and soon created a starry phantom.
The phantom keeps changing, like blue sea waves, or like fish scales passing by in a trance.
"These should be the magical skills of Meilan God." Cang Xu smiled, "Please bury him back again."
"Ah? Do you still want to bury it?"
"The dead are great, let them rest in peace." Cang Xu sighed.
Bai Ya couldn't help but mutter in her heart: "It's obviously because of you that we came here to exhume the body."
Fortunately, after burying the body, Cang Xu led Bai Ya back to the town.
The two successfully reunited with Lan Zao and San Dao.
"We have checked and there is no problem on the dock. We have found a lot of supplies, including the things we proposed. The empire is sincere and this is not a trap." Sandao said.
Cang Xu nodded: "I have gained a lot here. If the truth is as I guessed, maybe we can solve the problem of the mermaid's fairy tale!"
