Chapter 422: Survivor

The necromancers on the Henas Peninsula imprisoned and tortured the souls of intelligent beings through necromantic magic, and almost completely annihilated the sanity and memories of these souls, leaving only endless pain and resentment, and the only thing that remained, was extreme hatred and dangerous aggression towards the living, which was the so-called artificial ghost.

Of course, although the artificial ghosts are dangerous, they have lost their reason and memory after all, and if you really want to talk about danger, it is actually equivalent to some aggressive wild animals, and when it comes to individual strength, it is even worse than the natural ghosts that arise because of obsession, regret, hatred and other bullshit things.

Necromancers are able to manipulate their own artificial ghosts through secret techniques, and can occasionally subdue or "persuade" natural ghosts to sign a master-servant contract with them. These two are the so-called ghost soldiers, and they usually play the role of scouts, broken troops, and high-level cannon fodder in the army sequence of the Henas Realm of the Dead.

Since it is a ghost, of course, it has no substance, and since it is a soldier, it is naturally divided into arms and ranks. Most of the ghost soldiers are necromantic magic that forms their own existence, absorbing the "life" of the living; A small number of stronger ghost soldiers can directly deal effective damage to the enemy's spirit and soul, killing the enemy invisibly, and are called "soul eaters"; In addition, some of the rarer elite ghosts can not only use some simple undead magic, but can even use the death magic power to maintain their own existence to create weapons similar to the stance sword, and the person who is slashed will be damaged by necromantic corrosion, mental shock, and physical triple damage at the same time, and the ground is very sharp. The scientific name of this high ghost is "Fierce Spirit", but the image of wielding a sword is too deeply rooted in people's hearts. There is also the title of "Demon Sword Spirit", which sounds very middle-class.

It is not easy to produce spirits, and it requires a lot of transformation and cultivation by necromancers. It is also unlikely that it was born into the ghosts of nature. Because in the eyes of necromancers, naturally occurring ghosts have their own well-established personalities and memories. Even if it's a contract, it's not a loyal dog of your own, and you can't fully trust it, so you naturally won't spend a lot of effort to transform. However, once successfully cultivated, the spirit possessed a beast-like intuition and a killing machine-like intelligence, and was able to help the necromancer command the Soul Eater and ordinary ghosts, so he was intuitively called the ghost general by some adventurers.

And this group of ghost soldiers who cry wolf around the cabin is led by a ghost general.

It is also a ghost with a translucent shadow, and the spirit is several times larger than an ordinary ghost. The lower half of the body is naturally in the shape of a void mist or shadow, and the upper body is the image of a samurai wearing armor and holding a sword, but the face is terrifying, the facial features are almost completely deformed, and the eye sockets of the eyes are still full of whites, but the position of the pupils can no longer be found. Although they were only unfocused eyes, they were still terrifyingly eerie.

Anyway, Lu Xi estimated that there would never be any normal person who would be willing to look at those whites of the eyes.

More than thirty ordinary ghosts. Five Soul Eaters, and a Ghost General under their command, if properly commanded, may be able to silently wipe out a human hundred-man army. And the death is still miserable. However, after all, this is for ordinary people, in front of a golden high-level magician like Lu Xi. It's just a bunch of cannon fodder.

Ghosts have no entity, and it is difficult to deal effective damage to them without enchanted physical weapons. But this is not a problem for Lu Xi at all. He stepped on a relatively thick and spacious plank and pushed away the shelter in front of him—a torn canvas. Then he flapped his hands flirtatiously at the fluttering ghosts, which soon attracted their attention.

In the face of this sudden intruder, the ghosts stopped dancing with their teeth and claws, and stopped in mid-air and began to watch for a short time. They didn't really rush to bite Lu Xi like wild animals, and they really looked a bit like "well-trained" professional soldiers.

Li Ling turned his head slowly, leaving only the whites of his eyes staring at Lu Xi for a few seconds, then opened his mouth and let out a terrible shout. All the ghosts immediately screamed and pounced like a pack of rabid dogs that had broken free from their chains.

“…… Sure enough, I'm still disgusted with this kind of enemy who is neither beautiful nor stylish! Lu Xi sighed at the group of fierce enemies in front of him with a worldview full of Virgo's cleanliness, and raised the staff in his left hand to his chest and swiped it easily.

A long chain of light seemed to tear through the blockade of the night from another dimension, and it was violently driven into this dark world. The gorgeous flickering was accompanied by a rumbling thunder, and even turned the surrounding night space of hundreds of meters into early day.

Chain lightning rumbled, instantly engulfing the horde of ghosts' terrible screams. Not only their cries, but even their own existence. The necromantic magic that constitutes the ghost existence is ruthlessly dispersed, destroyed, and crushed in the most violent magic embodiment of the atmospheric element, and these immortal, sad and unclean beings can only lose their support for the existence of the world in this lightning magic storm, and instantly become invisible.

It was just a chain lightning move, with a total time of 4 seconds and 19 seconds before and after, and forty ghost soldiers, including a ghost general, were all wiped out, and the table was perfect. Its gorgeous sound and light effects not only wiped out the enemy in an instant, but also stunned the crew of the Polaris in the distance, and even Andrel, who had just arrived, showed a look of amazement.

"Sehiru, I didn't know your boyfriend was such a good guy."

"Ann la, if you've been with him for a long time, you won't be so surprised...... Wait, who said he's my boyfriend? Senior sister, you are really! Didn't I sue you that he's just my colleague? ”

"Okay, okay, let's just think of it as a colleague." Andreil looked at Sehiru, whose face was flushed, with a look of urgency, and then let out a faint sigh that was not so obvious. She sensed the space around her, making sure that there should be no enemies left, and then she channeled the magic power she spent, propelling her body towards the cabin.

At this time. Lu Xi had already floated to the hatch and knocked hard.

"Do you think there are survivors here?" Andreel and Seyriel had already floated over by this time. The former asked.

"I think so. This chamber is so well preserved, if there are really survivors. Here is the most likely. Lu Xi, whose face had already been trained thicker than the walls of the Throat of the World, came up with a very convincing reason without even blinking his eyes.

Andreel didn't doubt him, nodded in agreement, and knocked on the door as well. Although her knocking on the door was powerful, it was very rhythmic, and naturally it would not seem too rough, and it should not irritate the people inside.

"I'm Major Andrelle in the Federal Army? Ulysses. Is there anyone in there, please? Don't worry, you're safe. She said in a soft tone.

It took a few minutes, when both Andrel and Seyrilu had almost given up. Finally, a trembling voice came from inside: "Then, that, please, how do you prove your identity?" ”

Andreil couldn't help but look embarrassed, crying and laughing, just about to say something, Lu Xi had already said in a very impatient tone: "Sluts are so hypocritical." Then he pushed Andreel away without saying a word, reached out and grabbed the handle on the door panel, and pulled it hard. The hatch was unloaded directly.

"Are you a tease invited by the monkey? Ask this kind of teasing question? If we are enemies, do you think this plank can hold us back? Lu Xi said angrily. He looked into the cabin, and he was obviously stunned by the teaser—a man in his mid-thirties, who squeezed the other away with an unceremonious motion. Strode into the cabin.

Andreel looked at Lu Xi, who was so rough that he seemed to be a villain, shook her head helplessly, and then left an apologetic smile at the man who was paralyzed on the side. I also stepped into the cabin. The first thing that catches your eye is a group of people snuggling up to each other for warmth. They shivered, not knowing if it was because of fear or cold.

"Sehira. Tell the Polaris to come over and receive the survivors. Well, also, ask them to prepare some hot soup, hot water, and blankets. Andreil said loudly.

Except for the teasing man who ran to the hatch door to ask teasing questions, and his brain capacity obviously couldn't keep up with his guts, there were still ten survivors in the cabin. Five men between the ages of twenty and forty, all dressed as sailors of the Turquoise; Two women, one in his mid-twenty-five and one in his forties, should also be members of the ship's staff, such as accountants or clerks; A man who should have been nearly fifty years old, dressed very well-dressed, with a white face and a short beard, did not look so much like a captain who often ran the ship, but a wealthy merchant or a small nobleman with a very good family; In addition, there was a little girl of eleven or twelve, huddled in a corner with a little boy of seven or eight years old, shivering, looking at the two magicians who had entered the cabin with a look of horror but a hint of expectation.

Such a scene seemed to make Lu Xi recall something, his eyes suddenly sank, and a rare trace of a short trance flashed. Immediately, he quickly regained his composure, looked at the two children with complicated eyes, and sighed slightly: "Senior sister, I remember you said that the Turquoise should be a pure freighter, right?" ”

Following Lu Xi's gaze, Andreel also saw the children, and soon understood what Lu Xi meant, so she said, "That's true." Occasionally, however, such a ship will accept passengers, either by local tyrants who have shelled out large sums of money, or by other means of convincing the captain - such as working on the ship. Well, that little girl should be the latter, right? ”

"Or human traffickers or something?" Lu Xi looked at the man in his fifties who was dressed as a rich man, and his tone suddenly sank, as if the temperature in the cabin had suddenly dropped by more than ten or twenty degrees.

The man was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly waved his hand in an anxious tone: "No, no, no, Master Magician, Master Magician...... Uh, yes, master, master, you definitely misunderstood. I'm just a serious businessman, I would never do such a hurtful thing, please believe me! ”

"You are?" Andreil looked at Lu Xi with a strange look before asking in a more amiable tone as much as possible.

"I'm Eugene, the owner of this ship. This time, I'm just going to take a boat home to see it, I'm ......."

"It's okay, anyway, the rescue boat will come up in a while, and we will have time to talk slowly when we get there." Lu Xi looked at the little girl in ragged clothes again, and interrupted the shipowner's chatter in an impatient tone. He stepped forward, took off his coat, and laid it on the children.

(System: Congratulations on completing the C-level quest "Save the Survivors", which will reward you with 2500 experience.) )

The experience points gained are not as good as the previous "Jianghu Emergency". In other words, in the eyes of the system, those ghosts are actually less dangerous than competing with Squint at the table? For the ghosts who were killed by Lu Xi's move, it was really a sad evaluation.
