[Late-night update, please subscribe and support the monthly pass!]
The strange sound of "click, click" clearly resounded in the woods, Jiang Chen saw this strange scene clearly through the divine sense he exuded, fortunately, he was also a person who had mixed up with the chatting world, and he had fought with the ghost army under the command of the old demon of Montenegro, so although the scene in front of him was weird, it was not enough to frighten him.
"Strange life. Just as Khadgar was interested in the life form of the Red Queen before, Jiang Chen was also interested in these skeletons that crawled out of the ground: "There is no soul, only a little instinct remains, like a zombie with only instinct left in the biochemical world, and like a puppet that has been manipulated by people." ”
One by one, soon, no less than a thousand skeletons crawled out of the surrounding woods, some of them still holding blades in their hands, although they were very dilapidated, but under the sparse sunlight, they still glowed with cold light, and they didn't need to think about it to know that their intentions were not gone.
"Amy, stay in the car and protect your grandma and Monica. Feeling that the skeleton army was not good, Jiang Chen explained to little Amy, and then got off the carriage with the red queen, stepped on the soft ground, and felt the humility of the earth, Jiang Chen stepped out of the next step, and had come to the front of the team.
"Mr. Jiang Chen, you are here. Cain said hello, and there was a more or less relaxed tone between his words, because he knew very well that if the migration team was in danger, then Jiang Chen was the one who was most likely to lead them to solve the danger.
Khadgar next to him said with some caution: "I feel the aura of darkness, if I am not mistaken, we should have broken into a necromantic territory." ”
"Necromancy?!" Hearing this, Cain and the others couldn't help but change their faces one after another, it was a legendary undead creature, living in endless darkness, and would devour all living things in the world, in the history of the Azeroth continent, there had been an outbreak of undead natural disasters, that terrible scene, although thousands of years have passed, but it is still clearly recorded in various literature and classics, so that everyone who sees it can't help but be afraid.
Almost subconsciously, everyone turned their eyes to Jiang Chen, although Jiang Chen was not from their village, but at this moment, the expectations and hopes of the entire village were gathered.
"Don't worry, it's just some small roles, it's not worth mentioning at all!" Looking at everyone's nervous looks, Jiang Chen chuckled to himself, and as he spoke, he saw him raise his hand slightly, his five fingers were wide open, and between his palms, a huge air flow rolled into a whirlpool, releasing a huge swallowing force.
At the beginning of the dispersal of immortal power, Jiang Chen's eyebrows and eyes froze, and this swallowing power actually crossed a distance of dozens of zhang in an instant, spreading to the depths of the woods, next to the skeleton that was slowly advancing towards the migration team, wrapped it inside, and then took it more than ten zhang in front of him.
The skeleton that landed on the ground, as if it had no consciousness, did not know that it had changed its position, and continued to slowly press towards everyone, although it moved slowly, but the "click" sound that it kept making was still a little scalp full in everyone's ears.
"Sure enough, it's an undead!" Khadgar said solemnly, "It's just the lowest-level skeleton, and its attack power is not very strong, so it's easy to deal with." ”
While everyone breathed a sigh of relief, they saw that Jiang Chen seemed to be very interested in the skeleton in front of him, but saw that Jiang Chen turned his hand and mobilized the true yuan mana in his body, and the surrounding heaven and earth vitality began to center on his body, gathering rapidly, affected by this wave of vitality fluctuations, the skeleton that was ingested by Jiang Chen suddenly shook, and the originally slow forward pace seemed to begin to become a little unnatural.
"Heavens and gods, listen to me. ”
Opened his mouth indifferently, and saw that mysterious runes appeared out of thin air in Jiang Chen's palm, and these mysterious runes were combined into a talisman between breaths, although it was only the simplest spirit suppression talisman, but in the hands of Jiang Chen, who had advanced to become a tribulation immortal, it still became an incredible existence, and the runes that formed the talisman were constantly flickering and shaking as if they had their own lives.
"Well, let's see if the Soul Charm has an effect on this thing. As he spoke, the talisman in Jiang Chen's hand suddenly turned into a streamer of light and flew out of the air.
Although it is only the most basic magic of Taoism, with Jiang Chen's current cultivation as a catalyst, even if the ghost king is tricked, he must be fixed on the spot.
However, the situation in front of him seemed to be a little unexpected by Jiang Chen, in the face of the spirit talisman that broke through the sky, instead of dodging like those demons and monsters encountered in the Liaozhai world, the skeleton raised its right arm to block it. Immediately, only a crisp "click" sound was heard, and the arm was shattered into pieces by the spirit talisman, but the skeleton itself still seemed to have not been harmed in the slightest, and continued to walk towards everyone.
"Hmm, could it be that because the world is different and the rules are different, the Eastern Dao is ineffective against the Western ghosts?" Jiang Chen couldn't help frowning, but in an instant, he thought of the difference between the skeleton in front of him and the Eastern ghosts, which made him can't help but scold a little angrily: "Damn, I almost forgot, this thing doesn't have any autonomy at all, and the Spirit Talisman is naturally useless to it!"
At that moment, he raised his hand again, stacked his five fingers, stacked them into a handprint, and pulled a little red spiritual light to gather, even in the sunlight, the red light was quite dazzling, and one by one the mysterious runes quickly condensed and formed, beating in mid-air, so that the gathering of the surrounding heaven and earth vitality was obviously much faster than before, and the air vibrated like a wave, making the skeleton that kept moving forward tremble and shake, and the activity became more and more unsmooth, and even moving forward became very difficult.
"Hmm, it seems that the shock wave generated by the convergence of Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi will affect their actions?!" This discovery immediately attracted Jiang Chen's attention, if he hadn't considered that his period of weakness had not yet completely passed, he would definitely have to release a large-scale Dao technique that gathered a huge amount of Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi to try it next.
"Heaven and Earth Law Spirit, Demon Exorcision Order!"
Reciting the spell lightly, accompanied by Jiang Chen's mana, he saw that the aura talisman suddenly boiled in the air, turning into a red fire crow, flapping a pair of wings, and swooping straight towards the skeleton in front of him, after a loud "bang", but seeing the fire crow crashing into the skeleton's body, it suddenly exploded into a ball of fireworks, wrapping the skeleton inside, the blazing high temperature, but between breaths, the skeleton was burned into powder.
"There is no consciousness, and the body is not as strong as that of zombies, it seems that this skeleton really doesn't have much combat power. Jiang Chen analyzed the enemy's data and assessed the combat strength of both the enemy and us, and immediately turned around and shouted to Cain and the others: "Pay attention, the enemy is coming, although their individual strength is not strong, but there are many of them, so when facing the enemy, you must be careful not to lose your life." ”
As if to confirm his words, the words in his mouth did not fall, only to see the sound of "click, click" in the surrounding woods, and then, one after another, skeletons slowly stepped out, they were in groups, thousands in number, constantly surrounding the migratory procession.
"Defend the formation, prepare to fight!" Cain's pupils shrank, he took a deep breath, and let out a loud shout in his mouth, and then, hundreds of adult warriors in Amy Village stepped forward one after another, blocking the periphery of the migration team, and inside, women and teenagers with some abilities also took out the blades they carried.
Seeing this, Jiang Chen immediately slowly retreated into the array, and said indifferently: "Skeleton undead, ordinary methods to kill them will not die, you must break up their bodies. ”
"Thank you, Mr. Jiang Chen, for your advice. Hearing this, Cain looked at the army of skeletons that had approached, and immediately ordered in a deep voice: "Kill!"
The sound of killing, the sound of battle, a group of warriors launched an attack at the same time in an instant, between the swing of the weapon, blessed with the powerful power of the fighting spirit, a blow through the air, hundreds of skeletons were almost in a flash, were cut alive, into pieces. However, there were still a large number of skeletons behind, forming a huge formation, like the waves of the river and sea, roaring towards the defensive formation of the migratory team (to be continued). )
