Chapter 0696 - Book of Death 2
Turning a page casually, in Li Xun's perception, a huge three-foot-square page was densely packed with nearly a thousand words and patterns. γγ
If it was just a lot of words, it would have been a word, but the text that the Nonos Lich used to write was the otherworldly script that it had learned by chance. Therefore, each of the above words needs to be hard to interpret the zero-order trick of "magic reading", which can be called the most difficult magic book Li Xun has ever seen.
The zero-order trick is basically not a pressure on Li Xun now, but if you let you cast thousands of them without stopping in one go, the accumulated fatigue is not something that ordinary people can bear. What's even more hateful, that Nonos Lich still has a certain evil taste, and there are countless strange rune lines like ghostly drawings hidden between words. These runic lines automatically float and wander when you read normally, acting as a terrifying effect on the psychedelic human eye.
This means that when you are desperately casting spells and reading one of the words, the words are constantly floating and changing. Once you are mentally exhausted and can't memorize the entire page of text in your mind in one breath, then congratulations, you are very "pleasantly surprised" to find that after a pause, the first half of what you just remembered is also inexplicably "forgotten".
It's really forgotten, and even the most basic impressions won't be left.
This is the conclusion that Li Xun has only reached after experiencing thousands of realities.
It's a real headache!
Of course, this does not mention the vicious effects such as "soul chatter", "suggestion", and "blood severance" that accompany the book, all of which are more vicious and terrifying than those of the ordinary Book of Death.
While the normal Book of the Dead's undead chatter is just a pediatric example of language interference, this Book of the Dead elevates it directly to soul chatter, a terrifying magical effect that directly shocks your soul. As long as you are in a trance, the hundreds of words you just read may be in vain, and you will have to start from scratch.
Suggestion, on the other hand, is a magic trap that hides between words, and once you read a particular passage without a corresponding volitional check, you may do something that makes you feel unbelievable. Like a sudden waltz, or stripped naked and turning three heels in the house, or a passionate poem recitation...... In short, if you fall into the trap of suggestion, anything can happen.
The thought that he might suddenly give a death finger to his head, Li Xun's heart trembled.
But the most disgusting thing is the severance of the third bloodline, which is a vicious curse that directly rots JJ!
It's a pity that these magical effects can't be cracked with the help of external forces, and can only be resisted by one's own tenacity. Of course, for legendary lichs like Shane VII, they have long been free from the shackles of the flesh, and their own wills are tenacious and terrifying, so these vicious curses have no meaning for them at all. But Li Xun ate this set, and could only rely on blessing himself to resist the invasion of the Book of Death.
It has been more than 2 months since this book of death was in Li Xun's hands, but he still hasn't finished reading the first page, so he can only get stuck in countless confusing strange words every day and try again and again. Every time his mana is exhausted and his attempts are fruitless, he has to go to the specially opened purification pool to soak it, otherwise his body will not be able to stop the comprehensive corrosion from the soul to the rou body.
If it weren't for the fact that this kind of exercise was good for him to sharpen his willpower and exercise his mental strength, you would be the knife on Li Xun's neck, and he wouldn't want to touch that ghost book.
Of course, Li Xun also tried to cheat.
He used his incomparably powerful spiritual power to match the panorama of deep dialysis, trying to engrave the entire page of the content in his mind, and then let the corpse witch group selected from the soul system analyze the text content for him. The whole process was connected by the panorama, the soul system, and Isa's high-speed organization calculations, and all the work was effectively assigned to the thirty corpses.
It's a pity that the Legendary Lich's drain isn't that easy to drill.
In less than half an hour, half of the thirty corpse witches had an accident. The lucky ones just played the job of splitting the stone gate with their bare hands and smashing boulders in their chests, and the unlucky 4 corpse witches directly blew their heads into rotten tomatoes with spells.
Li Xun's cheating plan ended here.
β¦β¦
While he was still playing with the ghost book in the corpse demon's body, the cemetery expeditionary force he led had approached Lake Kuroki.
Lake Kurogi was originally a quiet and peaceful place, without hustle and bustle, and the lake was as blue as the sky. The music of the small inn in the village by the lake is all melted into the lake, giving people a feeling of being intoxicated.
But now, the whole sky, lakes, mountains, and trees here are all the same color, like iron rusting and infecting this world. A gray rust color, tired and tiresome, I wonder what it used to be.
And in this rusty area, a large and noisy army of undead occupies all the places around Lake Kuroki where an army can be placed. Looking down from the sky, the black, dense army of the undead was like a wriggling and stretching acne, dotting the dusky and dark earth with ugliness.
The 300,000 undead army has far exceeded the Lich Queen's original predetermined amount, showing the importance and caution of "she" in the next undead war.
In the various battles in the early stage, the attacking cemetery legions have shown far more combat literacy and individuality than they have been. Whether it is the high-level undead in the leadership or the undead cannon fodder at the bottom, the cemetery side has shown a comprehensive crushing situation. This was hard for the Lich Empress to accept.
You must know that the elite undead on the side of the Council of the Undead are all talented people selected from nearly 10 million undead creatures. Only such a large population base can provide them with a good enough qualified undead warrior. And what about the other side? That psychic warlock had only just entered the undead realm for two years, and he was already able to pull out nearly 40,000 undead elites, so how wide should the territory he controlled behind him be?
The war did not start today.
Ever since the Cemetery Expeditionary Force set foot on the territory of the Council of the Dead, the battle between light and darkness has never stopped.
The area north of Lake Kuroki was no longer a formed undead force that could withstand the sweep of the Cemetery Legion, but the sporadic exchange of fire between small reconnaissance units intensified.
It was in this small-scale, low-intensity, and large-scale battle that the Lich Empress deeply realized how big the gap between the low-level undead soldiers on both sides really was.
In the course of three days, there were nearly 700 similar hand-to-hand encounters, and the number of participants in each battle was basically less than 50. The Council of the Dead was almost completely defeated.
What an incredible set of numbers jΓΉ!
You must know that at the beginning of the Outer Border Contact War, the Undead United Council sent out the lowest level of ghoul squads, ghost squads, and skeleton sentinels. But when they were crushed by the other party, the scout squad sent by the Council of the Dead had turned into an elite ghoul squad, a ghost banshee, and a vampire sentry. They even consciously formed some powerful elite squads to eliminate the opponent's sentinels.
But it still didn't work.
Send garbage up and be cut down, send an elite team up, and still be cut down. It's as if the other side doesn't care about the change in combat power at all, and everything can be cut right.
Having suffered too much from those Graveyard Rangers, the undead elites had to adjust their aims. They no longer dared to move the undead knights who rode tall skeletal horses and galloped around the area, and instead turned their attacks to the strange undead who rode the giant bats.
Who knows, it's even worse.
Where is this rookie sent out to be an "eye", it is simply a small mercenary group with complete combat preparation and reasonable career matching! Regardless of the fact that they are only a group of five, they can range from a meat shield with a heavy shield and a big sword to a lightning-fast guerrilla, to an undead spellcaster with the spell "biubiubiu" flying around, they are all in place.
Those who encounter graveyard cavalry, ghouls and skeletons may not survive, but the ghosts can still escape. But once you encounter the mercenary teams in these cemeteries, even the vampires who are the best in the world in the world in escape kung fu will have a hard time getting out.
Such a small battle was simply a one-sided crush, and it all ended with the scout soldiers on the side of the Council of the Dead being wiped out.
This kind of thing happened too often, and the necromancers in charge of tactical arrangements couldn't sit still, and after reporting at all levels, the scout soldiers discharged became more and more sophisticated.
In the end, even they learned from each other and sent a team of bone horse knights and corpse witches.
But this time it was even worse!
The Cemetery Army, hidden in the deep and thick black fog, seemed to have the ability to understand the heavens, and no matter how their elite squad hid and ambushed, no matter how quickly they raided, they would collide head-on with the well-arranged strangulation team.
The other party seems to have great trust in the team he sent, and there has never been a large-scale force above three digits, and it is always a single-digit elite undead. But these elite undead are able to sweep away the bone horse knights of the Council of the Undead and wipe out the corpse witch team. From the mouths of the very few undead who escaped back, the side of the Council of the Undead was shocked to learn that these cemetery teams that had been fighting against them actually had the figure of the undead lord, and the team members had the strength of high-level undead at worst.
This information, as the most important secret, was reported to the Lich Empress under the command of Lake Kuroki, and she was silent for a long time.
Judging from all indications, the army of the undead who attacked under the banner of the cemetery this time was mixed with a lot of high-end undead. This is by no means a terrifying force that a small local force can contain and merge!
You must know that in the Undead Realm, every Undead Lord who has crossed level 16 will occupy hundreds or even thousands of miles of vast land as his territory. If this cemetery force didn't have a vast and boundless territory, how could it subdue so many lord-level undead creatures?
