The Rise of the Cemetery

Chapter 0154 Shadow Dwarf Assassin

Pulling up the demon wizard, Li Xun led him to visit the Undercity, and introduced the butcher to him.

Seeing that he was still streaking and only had a set of basic weapons for a corpse witch, Li Xun specially approved 30 soul crystals and asked him to go to the blacksmith's shop to create his own exclusive equipment. For heroes, Li Xun is not stingy.

Li Xun originally planned to let the demon wizard preside over the Mage Tower of the Undercity, but after all, he is just a fresh and tender level 1 rookie who urgently needs to be upgraded, so he gritted his teeth and squeezed out 5 blood-sucking counts, 1 bat demon, and 3 ghost killers , Let him lead a team to fight the tooth festival near the gray dwarf city in the underground world.

But before setting off, Li Xun still had one big thing to do.

Temple of the Underworld: The morale of the enemy siege troops drops by 2 points. In addition, the arms of other races can be converted into corresponding undead according to their ranks, but it is required that the recruitment site for such undead creatures has been built.

Hall of Conjuring Souls: The place where heroes’ souls parasitize. Dead heroes can be resurrected. Resurrection cost: hero level*100 soul crystals.

Using 400 soul crystals, Li Xun built these two long-awaited buildings in one day. In order to save money, construction was only carried out in the Undercity, and the Eternal Night City should wait until the future is free.

Under the guidance of Li Xun, the original soul breaths of the five heroes currently possessed are all preserved in the special building called the Hall of Souls. As long as the hero dies in the outside world, under the guidance of the original breath of the soul, the dissipated souls will reunite here and be resurrected. In terms of function, it is a bit like a shared version of the phylactery, the only pity is that it cannot accommodate Li Xun's original soul breath.

As Li Xun is the master of the cemetery, all the cemetery cities, all the cemetery buildings, and all the cemetery creatures are closely related to his soul. Once his soul is broken, all of these will cease to exist, and he cannot rely on reality at all. Some methods reunite the soul and reshape the body.

However, the means in Heroes of Invincibility cannot be done, which does not mean that the means of the new world will not work. Rebirth techniques such as the lich's phylactery can still give Li Xun a chance to live again, but at that time, the soul was completely disconnected. It is not a matter of a sentence for the connected node to want to pick it up again.

So Li Xun didn't want to die, didn't dare to die, and couldn't afford to die.

...

After nearly two days of continuous running, Specter finally found the tomb site described by the green-haired zombie.

Tens of thousands of years ago, this place might have been the royal mausoleum of a royal court, majestic and majestic, but unfortunately the world has been shattered, and the changes over time have made this place a paradise for undead creatures. The undead creatures who only know destruction but don't know environmental protection come in and out here, either out of meaningless venting, or out of turf competition, those places that are not strong enough have collapsed, and all the decorative patterns are gone It has disappeared, leaving only thick stone piers and gravels showing their true colors.

The tomb in the middle may be the mausoleum of the king, but it is a pity that it is now the home of the mummies. A few mummies covered in burial shrouds wandered here with shambling steps, bumping into a stone pillar that was only 2 meters high or a dirty wall from time to time. Those who can enter and leave the tomb are mummies with some status, and the shrouds on their bodies are all flashing with silver runes, taking into account the two attributes of sturdiness and anti-magic. Those mummies with black or white shrouds were not qualified to enter or leave the tomb with the most deadly air, so they could only find a shelter somewhere on the outside, standing there absorbing the ubiquitous breath of death.

The arrival of a group of ghosts made the mummies restless, and they rushed over from all over, blocking the main entrance of the tomb, waving their arms wrapped in shrouds, and shouting at the bat demons in the sky. At a glance, the ghosts are mostly black and white. There are about 260 of them, and there are more than 20 of them in silver. The real big ones are still recuperating in the tomb and have not appeared.

The bat demon circled and flew back and forth for a while before putting down the ghost and the ice demon. At this time, the three dark knights galloping on the ground had already arrived, strangled the bone horse near the ghost, and waited for the next order. After waiting for another quarter of an hour, the three Ice Banshees arrived roaring.

The mummy is actually an evolutionary variant of the zombie. It inherits the characteristics of the zombie's thick flesh and rough skin. In addition, the shroud that has been infected and assimilated outside the body for many years will form natural lines in places with strong magic power, which has the effect of some magical equipment. The most common ones are firmness, flexibility, magic resistance, hard skin, etc. To put it bluntly, they are zombies wearing magic armor. Of course, some who evolve rapidly will also master one or two spell-like abilities of magic attacks.

Yougui asked the Ice Demon to lead the team, and organized the team to gather in front of the tomb to intimidate them, not to attack yet, while he entered the tomb by himself.

There are several silver mummies guarding the 20-meter-long and 5-meter-wide passageway into the tomb. The tomb door at the end has been broken and tilted to one side, revealing the dark and gloomy space inside. The darkness is no longer pure darkness, an indescribable mist spreads its teeth and claws inside, like a devouring monster, just waiting for someone to come to the door.

Specter has already entered the room with a shadow leap, holding his breath in this familiar yet unfamiliar shadow, until there is no abnormality around him, then he starts to swim in the shadow like a fish.

Something is not right, I always feel that there seems to be something mixed with this shadow, there is such a dangerous feeling. The ghost stopped on the top of the tomb, carefully and meticulously looking at the shadow that matched his soul again. Yes, there is something odd about the shadows here, far more alive than elsewhere. It's like boiling water, restless, although it doesn't affect my activities inside, but it can affect my connection with the outside world.

Could it be a trap?

But it's too quiet here. The tomb is a wide hall-like structure. A circle of large stone pillars surrounded by three people supports the entire space. In the middle is a beautifully carved sarcophagus. All the reliefs on the sarcophagus have been destroyed by the previous owners of the tomb, and there is only a humanoid bust left on the front, whose face is unrecognizable, but the carved crown on the head and the scepter in the hand indicate his identity as the king.

There is also a row of sarcophagi along the stone wall on the outside of the stone pillars, which are much smaller than the one in the middle. It seems that they are guards or ministers or concubines accompanying the burial. Nowadays, every sarcophagus contains a mummy, and the largest sarcophagus in the middle, needless to say, must be the mummy elder inside.

Moving slowly in the shadows, the specter who was looking at everything in the tomb suddenly turned around and stared at a small sarcophagus not far to the right. has a problem! At that moment, she felt the fluctuation of the shadow at the back of this small sarcophagus. Not waves of magic, but ripples of some kind of creature as it moves through the shadows. As her best skill, Shadow Leap, she is very familiar with this kind of ripple. Could it be that there are shadow creatures here?

Before he could turn his thoughts around, Specter's expression suddenly changed, and the moon dagger from his waist had already popped out, and it swiped behind him like lightning, holding a dagger protruding from the shadows. There was no yelling or gesture, no communication and temptation, just in the shadow of the tomb, two vague figures kept jumping and shuttling, and the daggers in their hands kept stabbing each other, but there was no sound of metal clashing. With the same skill, the same skill, the two kings in the shadows advanced and retreated within a square inch, and they chased each other in a silent strangulation.

Specter has a special black crystal armor, which can completely block the shadow daggers stabbed by the opponent. As long as it is not stabbed continuously at the same position by the opponent, it will not worry about breaking. And the attack of the ghost's lightless dagger was also slid away by the tough shroud on the opponent's body, leaving only the fireflies bursting with countless runes. As for the attack of the moon wheel, it was completely dodged by it. The defense is not afraid of stabbing but cutting, which makes Specter barely have the upper hand.

In the blink of an eye, after hundreds of blows, both sides realized that the other was difficult to deal with. One Shadow Leap separated, and the other occupied a shadow and looked at each other.

There is only a vague human figure in the shadow, and it is impossible to see the opponent's features clearly. Judging from the size of the shadow it occupies, the opponent is only 1 meter tall, which can be regarded as a short individual. The few short fingers that were close to him just now made You Ghost break out in a cold sweat, and he couldn't help but start to guess the other party's identity.

If I read correctly just now, the defensive equipment on the opponent's body is a shroud covered with runes. Is it also a mummy, a 1-meter-high mummy?

Specter is worthy of following a mage master. He has read a lot of illustrated books of various races and is very familiar with the undead. He quickly guessed the identity of the other party from these basic characteristics: the shadow dwarf assassin.

Shadow Gnome Assassin, although there is a dwarf in his name, he is not a dwarf, but a normal human or elf. They are mutant undead created by necromancers using cruel and cruel techniques. The original normal height was made into a dwarf-like figure by the necromancer with a special concoction, and then tortured and ravaged their souls with various spiritual tortures, making their souls distorted to the extreme. Assassin training such as biological vitals, this has created a shadow gnome assassin.

Because the production methods of shadow gnome assassins are too extreme, most individuals will collapse physically or lose their will during the process of concocting and become failures. Only those individuals with special obsessions can maintain the integrity of their intelligence, so necromancers The amount of materials can only be increased in exchange for a smaller probability of success, which also makes the shadow gnome assassin rare and powerful.

It is absolutely impossible for such a powerful shadow dwarf assassin to be a subordinate of the so-called mummy elder, and this relationship is in turn somewhat believable. You Gui was still wondering, and couldn't help but shift his gaze to the sarcophagus in the middle of the tomb.
