Chapter 0225: Mysterious Visitor
Chapter 0225 Mysterious Visitor
The mountains and forests blown by the night breeze are particularly cold.
The villagers of Big Rock rarely linger in the terrifying whispering forest of dead silence after nightfall. It is said that the Whispering Forest at night will see many magical creatures that have never been seen before.
The Whispering Forest at this time is eerie. Standing at the edge of the forest, you can always hear some strange sound of the wind flapping its wings, but you have to look carefully, but you can't find any living creatures. As a result, word of mouth spreads, and no hunter dares to hunt at night anymore.
But now, on top of a tall tree at the edge of the woodland, a pair of red eyes lit up among the lush foliage, silently watching the small village that was gradually quieting.
A bat with a body far larger than normal of its kind was hanging upside down on a thick branch, its thin beak constantly opening and closing, and inexplicable concussive ripples spread and stirred through the woodland, slowly spreading to the far end. And half a mile away on the edge of another woodland, there is a fellow of the same kind doing the same thing. As a result, the entire entrance to the woodland facing Big Rock Village was completely blocked by these guys, but by means that ordinary people could not understand and detect.
In addition to these super sentinels hanging high in the treetops, the many shadows in the woodland are also extremely active, and there is always something unknown wriggling and snooping inside. Every once in a while, there will be a black and oppressive dark cloud floating in the air, but this dark cloud is inevitably floating too low, almost flying against the treetops. If you look closely, you will see that this so-called dark cloud is purely a cluster of ghosts gathered together.
Each ghost cluster will have a special guy as the leader, and this leader is usually a charifed, transparent evening dress, and a beautiful banshee. Only the higher-ranking banshees could suppress the urge of these noisy people to howl and complete this silent patrol.
According to Li Xun's adjustment before leaving, the stone tower was handed over to his disciple Jack to manage, and the safety was mainly taken care of by the hellfire that was constantly patrolling outside the tower. But in fact, Eternal Night City did not relax its monitoring of the surroundings, so Li Xun even transferred the butcher here.
In terms of the level and intensity of security protection, the Eternal Night City is even higher than the Undercity and the Sleeping Land. The one qiē and the other qiē are because this is the easiest place to attract the enemy's coveting.
Eternal Night City is the first cemetery city established by Li Xun, and it is also a helpless move for a temporary chapter, so there are many shortcomings in the first place. Lack of strategic depth, this alone is enough to sentence the city to death. After Li Xun built several cemetery cities one after another, he even had the urge to take the initiative to destroy Eternal Night City, after all, this is the easiest place for the enemy to catch his sore feet.
It's just that Li Xun, who is too petty, still has luck in the end, so after repeated delays, Eternal Night City has become a chicken rib at present, and it has also become a cemetery city with the most strict security.
Due to the existence of many undead spirits, the birds and animals in the nearby mountains and forests have long been avoided, making this place a night pasture in the city of eternal night. During the day, all the undead will shrink into the black fog near Eternal Night, and only when night falls, will the cordon be pushed to the edge of the woodland.
But tonight is not destined to be a quiet night.
In the hazy moonlight, a thin, treacherous figure slowly stepped into the woodland. Without any cover, he walked steadily and gracefully in the middle of the woodland full of branches and shrubs, as if he were strolling along his own flat and familiar path among the flowers, without any stumbling and hesitating.
What's even more bizarre is that he happened to pass under the big tree where the bat sentry lived, but he didn't alarm it. The bat's red eyes swept calmly over the mysterious man, but it swept past as if he hadn't seen it at all, and even the sonar ripples from his mouth could not reflect back on the mysterious man.
The mysterious man even looked up at the bat sentry a few times as he passed by the big tree.
The same is true of the three-dimensional cordon in the back, where many different kinds of undead creatures seem to be selectively blind, allowing this guy to roam his territory in a leisurely manner.
After nearly 3 miles through the forest, the mysterious man hesitated for a moment, paused slightly, stopped his pace towards the Eternal Night City, and turned to another direction. There is a stone tower in that direction. It is said that this is the place where the little mage has built for himself, so you might as well take a look at it first.
A few miles of mountain road came quickly, and the mysterious man walked through the forest, and the first thing he saw was the flaming stone giant that the innkeeper Thor repeatedly boasted about. In the quiet of the night, a three-story stone tower stood quietly high in the middle of the clearing, and the narrow windows on the second floor reflected bright light, illuminating a small clearing, and faintly felt the slight spell fluctuations inside. And the Flame Golem was silently standing in front of the tower.
The flames around the golem were magically turquoise, and instead of the crackling sound of ordinary flames burning, they gave people a coldness that even their souls froze. In the perception of the mysterious man, this strange creature has an incomparably strong will, and its only weakness is probably the strange stone heart in the middle of the chest.
The hellfire that was on guard trembled suddenly, and turned towards the mountain forest where the mysterious man was, and a vast spiritual fluctuation surged towards it. If the sonar ripples of the bat sentry are seen as a dense and calm surface of water, then the spiritual perception of the Hellfire is like a ten-foot giant lang that hits the oncoming face, directly sweeping the fan-shaped area in front of it.
The spiritual tide rushed by, but there was no reaction as it should be, and the mysterious man had disappeared in place. Hellfire was also a little surprised for a moment, in its simple and limited wisdom, it could detect that something here had briefly touched its spirit and seen through its own body, but why couldn't the spirit shockwave sense anything different, this ...... This is beyond its comprehension.
The Hellfire spiritual power continued to beat, and several vampires and ghost killers hidden in the nearby mountains and forests responded to the order, and launched a detailed search along the direction it indicated, but still nothing was found. There was no trace of any creature passing through the woodland, nor was there any breath of living creatures, so the lurking team entered a state of concealment again, and the hellfire returned to its original place, but the spiritual power had slowly enveloped the entire stone tower.
At this moment, the mysterious man was standing on the small rooftop on the second floor of the stone tower, watching with great interest the many undead creatures under the command of the big man, like a disciplined and orderly army, quickly searching, probing, and returning to the hidden state. The whole process was silent but efficient, and did not alarm the people in the tower, showing the extremely high quality of these undead. But what made him feel the most was that even he couldn't detect the way the big guys drove these undead to complete such complex tactical moves during the whole process.
Of course, this time his gaze deliberately avoided the place where the hellfire was. As long as his eyes full of spiritual power did not fall on the huge body of Hellfire, even if he was standing next to Hellfire, that big man would not even be aware of it.
As soon as the outside of the tower returned to its original state, the mysterious man began to shift his attention to the stone tower. There are only 3 life breaths in the tower, 1 is on the 1st floor, which is obviously an ordinary person, 2 are on the 2nd floor, one is an ordinary person, and the other has a faint spell fluctuation on his body.
Without any hesitation, the mysterious man walked into the stone tower with his hands behind his back and his head held high in a leisurely manner.
This is a reception room, simple tables, chairs and sofas, from the quality of those rural nobles love the old and simple style, I wonder why the mages here would choose such vulgar things? At this time, the room was empty, and the bright moonlight shone through the narrow windowsill on a corner of the room, reflecting the hazy interior of the room.
The magic glow was from the next room, and even without looking at it with the naked eye, the mysterious man knew everything about the entire stone tower. Under the detection of his all-pervasive spiritual power, there was no corner that could escape his perception. After all, this stone pagoda did not add any magic protection, it was just a simple residence for the mage's daily life, so it could not stop outsiders from consciously probing.
The next moment, the mysterious man had already appeared in the next room. At the desk in the corner of the room, Jack, who had become more and more composed, was flipping through a heavy magic book, gesturing in the air with his hand from time to time, and the simple magic runes that were stimulated briefly appeared in the air, and quickly collapsed into dots of fireflies. Apparently he was figuring out a spell he hadn't mastered yet. On the other side of the desk, a boy of the same age was leaning against the table and quietly napping, looking like he might fall asleep at any moment.
The mysterious man stood at the table for a moment, unaware of Jack's eyes, looking through his body, but avoiding his spiritual sea. Because in his perception, this little guy who had just stepped into the ranks of mages actually maintained a faint spiritual connection with the big guy outside the tower, and if he wanted to test his spiritual sea, he would inevitably alarm the big guy outside. This made the mysterious powerhouse hesitate for a moment.
The mysterious man who had a plan didn't want to startle the snake so early for the time being, so he turned his head and came to Li Xun's bedroom. In this simple room, the mysterious man sensed the strongest aura of the target, and it seemed that this was the place where the other party often stayed.
The mysterious man stood in front of the bed, brushing off his hood to reveal his old face, it was the white-haired old man who had just moved into Dayan Village today.
Without shouting or preparing the materials for casting the spell, the white-haired old man simply pinched a few gestures and completed a spell in a silent way. The air in the room froze almost instantly, and the dim and indistinguishable black shadows gradually overflowed with colored light, and the flowing color spots gathered from all directions in the room, and gradually assembled a vague human figure in the air of the wooden bed, which was seven or eight points similar to Li Xun in appearance.
The white-haired old man just looked at it simply, and a strange purple eyeball had already appeared in the void, silently burrowing into the body of this vague human form. Then the old man began to close his eyes and breathe, as if silently sensing something.
