Chapter 778 Ghost-faced Spider and the Blood-sucking Festival
After sending away the owl that didn't like cat food very much, but still reluctantly accepted it, Shade avoided the eyes of these churches and broke through the white fog all the way to the outskirts of the city. Compared with the relatively quiet central area of the city, the disaster here was
The situation is even more serious because not everyone has a house to live in.
When Shade was passing through the Mortiny Lane in the slums, he saw a body that looked like it had been dried for a long time at the entrance of the alley. He was worried that the body would be revived, so he went to check it, and then found that the body was still warm. Apparently
He died not long ago.
I continued to move forward along the planned direction, and soon I saw dense black spider webs deep in the alley. I raised the kerosene lamp in my hand to explore the path, and those spider webs actually melted in the light of the fire.
Along the way, Shade saw a terrifying scene that had turned into a spider nest at the entrance of the illegal opium den at the end of the alley.
The dense spider webs completely wrapped the entire building and the surrounding lanes. What he could see alone was that there were more than two digits of ordinary people bound by the spider webs in the thick fog... And the owner of the spider webs,
It is a human-faced spider that wraps a building with peeling walls in spider webs and "watches" its prey from a high place.
It was a black spider, roughly the size of six or seven spiders stacked together. Its chest and abdomen were covered with black hairs, and its six pairs of appendages had a weird translucent yellow appearance.
"Ghost-faced spider?"
Shade was a little surprised. The Ghost-Faced Spider, like the "Mirror Ghost" that once appeared in his home, were both very rare undead spirits. Only special environments can give birth to such terrifying spirits, and these evil spirits with separate names also have different strengths.
Very powerful.
The huge spider obviously noticed Shade, and climbed down along the cobweb with the trembling of the web. Although the speed was not very fast, the look was really frightening.
"Silver Moon!"
He drew an arc with his hand and neatly cut off the spider web in the air. As the spider hissed, dense black spider silk spurted downward from its mouthparts.
"Feliana's Witch's Light!"
He raised his left hand to the sky, and a translucent golden arc appeared above his head, melting the spider silk. At the same time, Shade jumped upwards, using the power of the spell to reach the air.
The giant spider clinging to the wall also rushed towards Shade at this moment, but Shade disappeared in the air and then appeared above the spider.
"ha!"
The swords held in both hands pierced the back of the ghost-faced spider, and then gravity brought both parties to the ground. The force of the fall made [Night Watcher] further penetrate into the spider's body, and Shade's arms even came into contact with the down:
"Silver Moon!"
He held the sword with his fingers and used the [Night Watch] to perform magic. The light of the silver moon radiated from the sword, and then dense cracks appeared on the surface of the wriggling spider. The moonlight shone in the cracks until the entire spider
The spider exploded into a fishy-smelling dust.
"oh!"
Shade's legs went weak and he almost fell over. Then he noticed that his hands were black, which was obviously poisoned. He immediately used the elf's detoxification technique to treat himself, and then raised his hand to shoot out a ray of sunlight, burning the cobwebs blocking the front.
Lose.
He raised his sword and pointed it at the sky, hoping to use the light of the silver moon to attract the nearby team of ring warlocks from the Righteous God Church and rescue these poor people entangled in cobwebs. Although it is foggy now, there is a strange increase in the [Night Watch]
Technique, Shade wasn't worried that the church wouldn't notice.
But before he could perform his magic, a cocoon tightly wrapped in black spider web squirmed nearby.
"Is the little spider going to hatch?"
Shade was shocked, but when he put on the mask and burned the cobwebs with solar rays, he discovered that it was the man in the cocoon who had awakened.
The reason why the other party woke up so quickly was because he was a vampire. The little bat mark on his head clearly proved this.
The man was confused for a few seconds, and soon understood what had just happened. After being pulled up by Shad, he enthusiastically told him the process of the ghost-faced spider crawling out of the narrow room, as well as how many dangerous creatures there were nearby, and even
Show Shade the way out of the nearby area.
When Shade asked about the other party's plan, the middle-aged vampire with a slovenly beard looked at the heavy fog in the sky and shook his head:
"The city is really too dangerous. I plan to leave the city for a while. My compatriots, I mean my friends, have already left the city. The festival is about to start. If I had known it would be so unlucky, I should have left early."
"Festival?"
Xia De said suspiciously, and the middle-aged vampire didn't hide it either:
"It's something about Sikal Mountain, but please don't worry, it won't have any impact on this city. I can guarantee it with my soul. Sir, if you are also interested, don't forget to look up at Sikal tonight
At the top of the mountain, when the time comes, there will be scenes that mortals may not see once in their lifetimes."
He introduced enthusiastically, thanked Sha De again for his life-saving grace, and even gave Sha De all the bills in his wallet. Before leaving, he pulled a bundle of spider silk from the ground and wrapped it around his arm.
Only then did Shade remember that the silk of the "Ghost-Faced Spider" was a very special semi-physical substance, a top-notch undead material.
"I knew that whenever something big happened, there would be gold pounds everywhere."
But Shade was in a hurry and didn't have time to take away all the nearby spider silk. So he just imitated the behavior of the vampires who had left, took a large bundle of spider silk and put it in his pocket. Then he raised his sword to the sky and confirmed that it was correct.
After the ring warlock team from the Church of God was attracted, they left in a hurry.
If there is enough time, Shade believes that he may be able to make his savings exceed 10,000 pounds today.
"Since you have so much money, should you consider investing? It would be good to get some fixed property for yourself, even buying a building to collect rent every month."
Although the chosen one's affairs are important, his livelihood is equally important.
At 5:40 in the afternoon, the panting Xia Decai finally saw the huge black shadow of the Mechanical College Castle in the fog. After approaching the castle, he found that the college had been blocked by a barbed wire fence and no entry or exit was allowed. This is a building protected by the city hall.
But these obstacles could not stop Shade, and he actually entered the castle without wasting much effort. Then, he met three nuns wearing high rings with silver eyepatch in the castle, and went to the most suitable place they found to open the door.
s position.
Coincidentally, that was the basement where the valuables from the auction were stored during the Zoroastrian Charity Banquet. Shade even remembered that Mr. Armand Bernhard, a vampire, took an antique coffin from here.
Of course, these things have nothing to do with opening the door.
Because the narrow room is getting closer to the material world, this ceremony does not need to be as complicated as the last time. Using bells, bone bonfires and a piece of black cloth as symbols, the three nuns whispered - [Gate], Miracle - with the help of spiritual runes.
The power of [Death] and blasphemy-[Phantom] stood around the bonfire in the shape of an equilateral triangle.
As the bell swayed, the red flame turned blue after a sharp explosion. And the black gauze hanging on the wall actually swayed actively in the windless basement.
The nuns were chanting something in a low voice, but it sounded like they were singing. In this somewhat weird atmosphere, the wall behind the gauze seemed to disappear, and wisps of white mist were seeping out:
"Mr. Watson, please be careful along the way."
The nuns blessed, and Shade thanked him softly, knowing that his adventure was about to officially begin.
He approached the wall, stood in front of the gauze curtain, took a few deep breaths to adjust, then lifted up the black gauze and walked in.
The momentary step made Shade feel unbalanced, but when his raised right foot touched the solid ground, he knew that he had entered that strange world again.
He sincerely hoped that this would be the last time he came to this ghost place.
[Stranger, you have left the world of the living.]
【You feel the miracle, the blasphemy, the enlightenment, the whisper.】
[Please note that further changes have occurred in Hazama.]
[The power of death overwhelmingly surpasses the power of the living. Any magic related to life and light will be weakened. 】
"What?"
Shade was shocked. The moonlight series of thaumaturgy and the newly acquired [solar ray] were his most advantageous means to fight against the undead.
[This effect is invalid for you. A little radiance of divinity dispels the power of death. 】
Shade breathed a sigh of relief, but immediately received a new reminder:
[Outlander, you have been subjected to a death curse that haunts your soul. The curse is ineffective against you, but the recovery of physical strength and spirit is further weakened, please pay attention to safety. 】
"I see."
The narrow room still looks like that. The black, white and gray basement looks like it has gone through thousands of years of wind and frost. Corpse grass grows in the gaps in the walls, and disgusting black mud appears in patches on the ground. Even on the other side of the basement
There was also a mummy leaning against the wall.
When Shade looked at it, the mummy actually started to move.
"Sunrays."
He raised his fingers a little, and a beam of sunlight flew out from between his fingers. It was obviously just a very thin light, but after leaving a small hole on the head of the mummy, it immediately melted its entire head. The corpse fell against the wall.
Bian, finally motionless this time.
[Solar Ray] is the nemesis of the undead and dark creatures. Coupled with the witch's golden necklace and the increase in Shade's soul power in the narrow room, it is normal to have this effect.
It's just that compared to the first time he entered the narrow room, Shade's power in the narrow room was greatly compressed. The power of death became more and more intense, so that Shade, who was still essentially a living person, was also restricted.
When rescuing Priest Augustus, he was even able to use the Mystery Lock incompletely once. But in this narrow space, even if he exhausted all his spirit, he would not be able to achieve that effect.
