Pollution throughout the territory

The moment the runes were transformed, Xia Ren suddenly felt a sense of suffocation, as if the surrounding air was rapidly draining and the venue was turning into a vacuum.

He lowered his head and was shocked to find that wisps of red pink mist were flowing along the black robe and into the runes. These pink mist turned out to be his own blood, and it was the blood mist that made those runes turn red!

This formation is actually swallowing up everyone silently!

Niu Changshou also noticed this terrible phenomenon, and his heart surged: "It turned out to be life stealing, they actually mastered the art of life stealing!"

"What is life stealing?"

Xia Ren asked.

Niu Changshou's face was complicated and his mouth was grinning. It was difficult to judge from his expression whether he was scared or excited at the moment.

"Life stealing is an extremely difficult magic. The ancient manuscript recording this magic was discovered a long time ago, but it is too esoteric and seems to have key parts missing. After so many years, even though many wizards have read it A copy of the magic, but no one can fully interpret and master this magic. I didn’t expect that I would be able to see this magic being used in my lifetime.”

"Is it powerful?"

"In every sense, it is very powerful. People in the formation cannot resist the passage of life and will be weakened quickly. Even the apostles can only hold on for a while, and they still cannot escape the fate of being sucked dry. Think about it. The only way to escape is to escape before the formation is fully deployed, but it is already too late now. The Wizards Alliance was already preparing to awaken the runes before the auction started, but they didn't know what method to use to cover it. Lost the magic wave."

Xia Ren looked around. They were in the center of the apostles. If their identities were exposed at this time, they would be besieged by the apostles before leaving the formation.

Still have to wait a moment.

But he could already clearly feel that his life force was rapidly passing away.

While he was struggling, Qin Yun beside him suddenly became unsteady and leaned on his shoulder.

"What’s wrong with you?"

Xia Ren asked anxiously.

Qin Yun shook her head, but was speechless.

He lifted the brim of Qin Yun's hat to check her condition, but was shocked to find that her hair had turned snow-white.

"How could it be so fast!"

There was no time to think about it. The initially deformed monsters around them shrank sharply in just a few seconds. They had been drained of their vitality and turned into deformed mummies. The runes had expanded several times compared to their original appearance, like The sponge, filled with water, began to squirm.

He was about to check Lu Yi's condition, but the other party had already responded first: "I'm fine, but I can't last long."

It is the wish-answering mirror that is replying.

If it were Lu Yi herself, she would have become a mummy just like those aberrations. However, the wishing mirror has the characteristics of space transfer, which means that she can integrate her body into other spaces to a certain extent to slow down her life. the passage of.

Heart-stopping fluctuations exploded in the space, and the apostles who sensed the danger roared, intending to reveal their true bodies to force a breakthrough.

Their clothes were torn and their bodies were bulging, but they were only halfway through when they had to stop.

The apostles were horrified to find that the more they used their power, the faster their life force flowed. If they had just maintained their human form, their life force had flowed as fast as a faucet, then after they tried to reveal their true form, their life force seemed to have burst. The estuaries generally flow outward wildly.

The skinny old man no longer had any chance of winning, and roared angrily: "It turned out to be life stealing! You disgusting bugs!"

His eyes were red, his head became flat, and his limbs had long, hard gray-black hair, like a bat.

He put his palms together, his nails pricked the backs of his hands, and black blood flowed out.

The sharp teeth opened and he let out a hateful roar: "Tong...shen...spell! Neyo..."

On the platform, a long-haired wizard stood up, and the transparent crystal on the top of the wooden scepter shone with light.

He chanted: "Guardian of endless pain!"

In an instant, a large number of holes appeared in the body of the skinny old man, as if several invisible spikes penetrated his body, dark blood gushed out, and his technique was forced to stop.

And those invisible spikes did not stop. There were more and more holes in his body, and his body quickly turned into a pile of rotten flesh.

However, the old man did not die. He roared unwillingly: "Despicable bugs, you have summoned so many high-level magicians..."

Nolan's tone was calm: "Didn't you also come with so many apostles? That's why I said that you are not smart. You know that this is a trap, but you still don't believe it."

Seeing that the secret cult was gone, Xia Ren knew that the young man in black mourning clothes must have recognized him. He was about to take off his black robe and seek shelter, but Niu Changshou took the lead and held his shoulder.

There were too many wizards at the scene, and Xia Ren's identity was sensitive, so he had to hide it as much as possible.

Niu Changshou took off his hat and revealed his face. His body was mechanical, so there were no signs of aging, but the energy in his body had actually been lost.

Nolan suddenly showed a surprised expression, looking at the teacher who was sticking out of the chaotic venue, a lot of question marks popped up in his head.

Why is the teacher here? Why is he hanging out with people from the Secret Order?

No time to think, Nolan immediately intervened in the formation, and the runes under Niu Changshou's feet squirmed and spread to the side, leaving a path for his companions.

Although it is impossible to completely prevent the scarlet ritual from stealing life force, at least on this path, the power of the ritual is weakened a lot.

"Teacher! Come here quickly!"

However, the other apostles also noticed the changes here, and they all rushed here. This was the only weakness in the formation, and also their only chance.

Niu Changshou shouted: "Xia Ren, stop them!"

The apostles must not be allowed to get close. If they are allowed to get close to the caster and the ritual is interrupted, all the life force taken by the runes will be returned, and the apostles will return to their peak strength.

At that time, it will be the end of everyone present, and even the entire Arkham will be severely affected.

The apostles also understood this. Their desire to survive made them give up some. Even if it would speed up their death, they still chose to abandon the human form to gain short-term but powerful power!

"Roar--"

A roar tore through the air, and a dozen apostles turned into the most ferocious and man-eating beasts, distorting the space and rushing towards this side.

Before the main body arrived, a series of slippery tentacles and corrosive mucus with a fishy smell had already enveloped several people.

Shrouded in a black robe, Xia Ren's eyes have melted. In the dark and hollow eye frames, large blood drops flowed out, and he stared around.
