Griffith could not understand the scene before him. Neferty sucked the blood from her fingertips, stood up, took two steps back as if nothing happened, and walked back to her small tent not far away.
Alandel rubbed her forehead, trying to calm down from the shock. After a while, she reluctantly asked:
"I think you must possess some kind of high-level sealed object of death path, not the two you captured in the battle, but other items.
"Otherwise, you did it secretly~emmm..."
Griffith nodded first, and then shook his head hastily, confirming her first guess.
Although the bone ring Minos still hides many secrets, there is no problem in treating it as a high-level sealed object. The bone ring, which has mastered the resurrection and domination of the dead, and possesses the three runes of frost, blood and undead, is not in the sequence.
6 Under the Extraordinary.
Minos can absorb the essence and spiritual energy from the battle to strengthen itself. Although it does not provide detailed instructions, the battle in the corpse mountain and sea of blood in Odessa must have given it a more powerful energy source. The Weave of Life in the Void Realm
After the bankruptcy of the advent plan, weren't the scattered extraordinary characteristics and psychic abilities quietly plundered by Minos?
The answer is very clear. Minos, as an object, has its own soul, will and goal. Its relationship with Griffith is cooperation between allies, and hiding strength is essential.
.
A ring that is equivalent to a Sequence 6 Soul Binder, and even close to the Sequence 5 Death Knight...
Neferty has a mysterious connection with the ghost ship and even summons it to her side...
Griffith thought about some of the new abilities that Minos had recently acquired, and his whole body went cold. Some tragic and terrifying things were connected together.
Just when he was about to delve into the matter, a strange sound suddenly came from the quiet night.
There was a vague rhythm in the night wind, like the tinkling sound of a flute. The faint flute sound covered a very wide range of sounds, evoking some subconscious memories and touching spirituality.
It makes people feel restless, even frightened.
The bone-chilling chill seemed to resonate from the depths of his soul. Griffith felt waves of anxiety and panic, but he also fell into an inexplicable lethargy and dizziness. He could not get rid of it in his sleepiness, and his head hung lower and lower.
Is this hypnosis? Are we being attacked? This strange smell doesn't look like someone in the camp. Could it be a monster in the dark?
Griffith's heart was tumbling, but his body refused to obey him. A dangerous thought lingered vaguely.
If external darkness exists, then at this time, the primary goal is...
Suddenly, he felt his hand being held tightly, and he immediately woke up. He turned his head stiffly, and saw Alandel clinging tightly to his arm. In addition to the swaying bonfire, there was also extreme excitement in his eyes.
of panic and helplessness.
Looking along her line of sight, a few meters away, in the open space near the bonfire, a black hand emerged from the invisible night and stretched towards the fire. It was like a shadow, but had no body, as if it were painted on the ground.
It was so flat, not squirming, not crawling, just a little bit elongated, constantly stretching towards the bonfire amidst the sinister sound of the flute like music.
This indescribably weird scene surpassed Griffith's cognition. Just when he was in confusion, the hand touched the fire, paused suddenly, and then made a "clasp" movement
.
The bonfire was extinguished instantly.
The black hand "stole" the light.
Several other bonfires in the camp were also extinguished at the same time, plunging into darkness, with only a few mysterious items remaining faintly glowing. The people on duty and those who were half asleep jumped to their feet, screaming and the sound of weapons rubbing together.
The wizard quickly cast the light spell, and the bonfire in the center of the camp was rekindled, and people in the entire camp rushed there from all directions.
"Back-to-back alert!" Diaz, the extraordinary demon hunter, growled, "Keep the lights on and don't go into the darkness!"
Upon hearing this order, the members of the camp team gathered more closely.
"what happened?"
"Is there anyone who hasn't come over?"
"I feel the dark and mysterious aura, it's so thick, it's coming from all directions!"
"Pastor, where is the pastor? Say your prayers quickly!"
Some people faced the fire, trying to find clues from the sudden extinguishment; others faced the darkness and were on guard back to back. Professor Lafayette immediately counted the number of people and found that the only person missing was the cleric Bolton.
The listless gaze of the extraordinary demon hunter Diaz has become as sharp as a knife: "Some kind of power extinguishes the light, and its appearance is accompanied by a spiritual touch."
"I felt it too," Miss Willow said. "The moment the light reappeared, it hid. I speculate that places that cannot be illuminated by fire will be attacked."
Everyone looked nervously at the darkness. Due to the unprecedented situation they encountered, the language became pale and the discussion had no direction.
"Are we going to stand here all night?"
I don't know how long it took, but someone finally murmured something in the solemn and almost freezing atmosphere. The words resonated, and Miss Wendy even took two steps outside, ready to take action.
"Tick tock, tick tock..."
Suddenly there was a rhythmic tapping in the silence, and the highly tense camp almost exploded. Witch Wendy, who had moved less than two meters away, rushed back with a "whoosh". Several wands and swords were pointing at the same time.
The direction from which the movement is made.
The small echo hub just a few steps away was making a slight sound. This noise meant that a new message was being transmitted from the forward team.
"Light up the camp," Professor Lafayette said. "If something else comes out of the darkness, capture or destroy it. I want to see what Professor Julian sends us."
As soon as these words were spoken, the Extraordinaries present also deeply agreed. They lit up the orbs and torches, illuminating the entire camp as if it were daylight. At this moment, Griffith felt that he was still lingering in the dark night.
The dangerous atmosphere is gone.
Professor Lafayette picked up the fifth message and examined it.
"What did the person in front say? Professor."
However, the professor did not answer. His face, which was too pale due to lack of light for a long time, was even more inhuman. His slender fingers repeatedly turned over the piece of paper recording the message, and his lips trembled slightly. He closed his eyes and slowly handed the piece of paper to
Everyone.
The piece of paper on which the message was recorded was empty, not a word on it.
"..."
Someone in the uneasy crowd asked: "Is it malfunctioning? Someone over there accidentally touched it."
Professor Lafayette shook his head: "No, the Echo Hub requires powerful spiritual energy to activate, and there is no possibility of accidentally touching it. In other words, as long as there is a connection, it must have been actively opened."
He was indifferent for a while: "I'm contacting them now to ask them if something happened. Get ready and get Bolton back. He is the only cleric here."
As soon as he finished speaking, someone in the crowd shouted. Bolton was seen staggering out from behind a tent and staggering toward everyone.
"Wait a minute!" Diaz pulled out the magic gun with his backhand, "Boton, raise your hands and approach slowly."
"I'm fine," Bolton shouted with his hands raised, and then began to vomit violently. As a powerful Beyonder, his physique was enough to resist most diseases. However, he suddenly became as weak as a mortal, in front of everyone
He first vomited up his dinner, then vomited out stomach acid, and finally almost vomited out all the bile.
This situation shocked the camp team. Since Bolton was the only cleric in the team who knew how to heal, the others did not know what to do. Knight Milban prayed for him from a distance, but after the Holy Light fell, the situation did not improve.
, but instead made Bolton's body emit black smoke as if it was being burned.
"ah!"
The priest screamed in front of everyone and started shouting loudly.
"Stop! I'm fine! Milban, are you drunk? Stop your bullshit blessings. I'm fine."
He was vomiting while talking, but seemed to be in good spirits.
"Let's go check him out. He may be infected by something." Miss Willow said, and after that, she was about to lead someone forward.
"Wait a minute!" Diaz growled, pointing his gun at the helpless Burton, "Turn around and let me see your back."
"I told you I'm fine." Pastor Burton muttered, but still turned around obediently.
The moment he saw the priest's back, Griffith felt that his scalp was exploding.
There is no trace of the back of the pastor's head, and clusters of snakes, maggots, worms, centipedes, and centipedes grew out of his brain, intertwined like seaweed. His back has also been corroded, leaving only his spine and broken organs.
The weapon was opened, and countless poisonous insects gnawed at the last bits of flesh and blood. As the body swayed, they fell to the ground together with the blood clots, and then squirmed and fled into the dark corner.
"I told you I'm fine," Pastor Burton said hoarsely. He turned around, and his mouth, ears, nostrils, eye sockets, and all the gaps and holes in his body were pouring out groups of snakes and insects.
His face was torn into a twisted and terrifying smile.
"Ah!" The people present were frightened by this scene and screamed.
Griffith took out the light and protected Alandel behind him.
This is an aberration!
Griffith once encountered such a monster on the Equinox. Quarksor who stole the "Lin Yuan Collection" turned into such a terrifying form. The body of the aberration and the constantly breeding snakes and insects are a kind of
A complex parasitic life structure, its unbroken brain still dominates consciousness, but it has become an irrescuable monster.
"What the hell is this!?"
Amidst the shouts, Demon Hunter Diaz drew out his sharp blade and rushed forward. With a flash of silver blade, Bolton's abdominal cavity was opened. The spleen and intestines rolled down, and among the densely packed snakes were squirming.
Among the insects, there was a smooth mass of flesh and blood writhing violently.
Before Diaz could make a move, the ball of flesh and blood ejected and entered the mouth of Wizard Lake at an extremely fast speed. The unlucky guy fell down on the spot, clawing at his throat with both hands, struggling heart-breakingly.
stand up.
"Help me take it out!" Diaz shouted. Others hurriedly came to help. They were not doctors and did not understand treatment, but common sense told them that they must not let that thing stay in the stomach of Wizard Lake.
.
The camp was in chaos. Wizard Reik twitched violently, blood splattered like a rotten orange, and let out a heart-rending wail.
Griffith stood still. He looked around him and found that Neferty had shrunk into a ball with her eyes covered. Professor Lafayette's face was full of fear and cold sweat. Only Naira was as calm as a piece of ice.
He stared at the wizard spouting blood, feeling neither pity nor joy or pain.
"Bang!"
The wizard who had a foreign object burrowed into his body suddenly exploded. Between the splashes of flesh and blood, a mass of bloody objects fell to the ground, squirming ferociously.
It was only about the size of a puppy or a monkey, with a long, smooth head, no eyes or nose, and a gap slowly opened in its lower jaw, revealing layers of fine, jagged fangs.
"Hiss Li!"
The monster shook its body and screamed horribly at the humans around it.
"Don't kill it!" Naila shouted, but Diaz had already taken action. The flame spear smashed half of the monster's body, but the remaining half rushed into the darkness, as fast as a shadow.
All the people in Odessa present were ashen-faced.
