Chapter 276 The Necromancer Can’t Be This Good-Looking!

As Ji Ruo and the others fell—

"Hmm~"

Lauren slowly opened her eyes, with a hint of confusion in her eyes.

The pain that felt like his muscles were being torn apart woke him up quickly. He sat up, rubbing his head with a grimace.

"Why did this happen? How could there be an earthquake in the underground city?"

Lauren wondered to herself, "Where is this place?"

Since everyone had been together during the previous fall, Lauren quickly found his teammates this time.

Looking at the unconscious teammate and the magic device he was wearing, Lauren's men touched the hilt of the sword subconsciously, feeling a little conflicted.

He was tempted by greed.

But on second thought, their current situation seemed a little bad. Without their teammates, even if Lauren took this opportunity to kill and rob, he would not be able to leave the dungeon.

After weighing the pros and cons, Lauren suppressed her greed.

As long as Emily can be caught, what does this little profit from the fly head matter?

"Kevin, Kevin? Wake up."

Lauren tried to wake up the cigarette-rolling man - this guy's cigarette was a magical device, burning longer and with a mellower taste. Even though he was unconscious, he was still holding the cigarette in his mouth.

"Um?"

Kevin woke up slowly, grimacing and cursing in pain.

"What the hell is going on? Where is this place?"

"I don't know either..." Lauren looked up and said uncertainly, "It should be the second floor."

"Damn it!" Kevin rubbed his sore muscles and kicked the brother who led the way earlier to wake him up: "Is this the shortcut you mentioned? It's really damn short! Fuck!"

The brother also felt a little aggrieved: "It wasn't like this when I left before... Who knew there would be an accident..."

Lauren sighed upon seeing this, and quickly advised: "Now is not the time to talk about this, let's quickly determine our current position and then move quickly. The big commotion just now will definitely attract monsters. Our current situation is not very good..."

Kevin frowned when he heard this and said, "Let's get out. I don't know what happened in the Lahapa Underground City. I have a bad feeling. It's just a temporary earthquake. If the whole underground city collapses, we will all die!"

As he spoke, Kevin asked his men to investigate the surroundings - whether to leave or stay, they had to first determine their current location.

Although Lauren was unwilling to give up, she felt that what Kevin said made sense.

Isn't it because of their cautiousness that they have been able to survive in this dungeon for so many years as non-professionals?

But when it comes to really going out... Lauren is still unwilling to do so.

He still felt lucky.

Emily is a high-end product!

Even if he divided it equally with these guys, the wealth he got would be enough for him to live a carefree life for the rest of his life.

So Lauren didn't want to give up.

Kevin didn't wait for Lauren to reply and reached for his lower back.

I felt a hand full of broken glass.

"My 'light'!"

Kevin felt extremely distressed.

This 'bright lamp' was a magical device that he had bought at a great price. It was engraved with the inscription 'Illumination' and could illuminate for a long time and dispel 'evil' to a certain extent - that is, it would disgust some monsters that were afraid of light and would not attack them easily.

It is considered a very good 'copy prop'.

But when it fell down just now, it was broken.

Kevin was very distressed. Seeing this, Lauren quickly said, "Catch Emily. This loss can be easily compensated. When we sell her for a good price, you can buy as many 'Lights' as you want."

At this time, a younger brother came back and said, "Boss, we found an entrance to the third floor, about fifty meters away from us, and the monster guarding the floor was crushed by the rubble, and it looks like it was seriously injured."

Kevin was stunned for a moment.

Lauren was amazed and said, "Praise God! Kevin, that is a layer-guarding monster. Just one of them should be enough to make up for the loss of your 'Light'. Besides, the entrance to the third layer is right before our eyes. Let's ambush it first!"

Kevin looked at him deeply and said, "What if they run away? In such an emergency, will they stay and continue exploring? If they fail to complete the commission, their reputation will only be reduced. If they continue to explore, they may even lose their lives."

"Uh..." Lawrence thought it made sense and stood there in a daze.

then--

“Ahhhhhhhhh!!!!”

A female scream was faintly heard in the darkness, and Lauren's eyes lit up: "That's Emily's voice! They fell down too, and it seems they fell to a lower level. Their injuries must be more serious than ours. If we go down now, we can take Emily away without any conflict if we're lucky!"

Kevin hesitated.

"The brave ones will die of their courage while the timid ones will die of hunger. With such a good opportunity, will you take it?"

Kevin gritted his teeth and said, "Fuck it!"

…

…

Half an hour later.

Ji Ruo and others who took the 'Black Robe Wizard's Levitation Sightseeing Elevator' finally arrived at the bottom of the passage.

Emily held the small staff tightly in both hands and looked around nervously with a very conflicted expression.

Emily was very tempted to become a pioneer in a dungeon, or even the protagonist of the kind of adventure stories she liked to read.

But at the same time, she is not a fool and knows her own level very well.

It was her first time going out, her first time entering a dungeon, and she wasn't even very proficient in the treatment techniques yet. Although she was excited, she was also very scared.

She is very confident in her own abilities, that's why she is so nervous.

Of course, although she was nervous, this was not what she was worried about.

But——

She knew that both of her teammates were strong, but she didn't know who was stronger.

Emily, knowing that she was weak, subconsciously wanted to stay behind a strong person and seek protection in this situation.

As a fighter, Ji Ruo easily dealt with the swarm of flying needle demon bees. He could also emit lightning attacks from his palms. Although the current seemed very weak and was completely incomparable to conventional thunder magic, it was enough to show that Ji Ruo was not an ordinary fighter.

But the black robe wizard is not simple either. Whether it is the elemental magic shield that can resist poison needles, or the "levitation technique" just displayed, it shows that the black robe wizard is also very strong.

So Emily is struggling with who she should hide behind...

After struggling for a long time, Emily timidly reached out and pulled the two people closer, and sandwiched herself between them.

Ji Ruo, who was looking up, glanced at Emily in surprise. He immediately saw through Emily's little thoughts and found it a little funny, but didn't say much.

With a sweep of his spiritual consciousness, the scene within a radius of 100 meters suddenly appeared slightly blurry in Ji Ruo's sea of ​​consciousness.

The bottom is solid.

The black-robed wizard said, "It seems that this should be the lowest level... I just counted and there are only nine levels in the Lahapa dungeon. Although the monsters on the ninth level are strong, they are not strong enough and should not be beyond our tolerance.

But to be on the safe side, I still…"

As he spoke, the black-robed wizard looked at the scattered bones at the edge of the passage.

This is a dungeon. Monsters are everywhere, if not everywhere.

Not to mention that humans often come to "play dungeons", so there are naturally a lot of skeletons.

"…Let's find some scouts to explore the way - Summon the Dead - Skeletons!"

The black-robed wizard swung his staff, and suddenly, the pile of bones stood up in front of Ji Ruo and the other two's astonished eyes, with dark green soul flames burning in their empty pupils.

"roar!"

The skeletons automatically assembled into human forms, transforming into skeleton soldiers. Even the excess bones were combined into weapons, which were held in the hands of the skeleton soldiers.

Of course, the reason why the skeleton soldiers are in human form is probably due to the magic effect of the black robe wizard, because the skulls of these skeleton soldiers are not human skulls at all, but look a bit like dog heads...

Emily took three steps back, covering her mouth with her hands, looking horrified: "You, you, you are a necromancer?!"

The black-robed wizard's face was hidden under the shadow of his hood, and his expression could not be seen clearly. He spoke in a hoarse voice that was obviously processed, "Yes, is there any problem?"

Although his expression could not be seen clearly, he was not a person of such a size. As a warrior of the Xingxuan realm, he also had a divine position and had opened up an unprecedented Xingxuan cave.

Even though the black-robed wizard's face was obscured by magic, Ji Ruo could still clearly feel that the other party seemed to be looking at him.

"It's true!" Emily was shocked. "You evil necromancer, why did you sneak into our team? I will report you to the church!"

"?"

The black-robed wizard was somewhat puzzled: "Didn't you take the initiative to invite me to join the team?"

"Eh?" Emily was stunned. "But, but you are a necromancer... Why are you in the town? Doesn't the book say that you necromancers like to live in eerie woods, desecrate the bodies of the dead all day long, and even like to kill people and refining corpses to satisfy your own evil tastes... I know!"

Emily's eyes became more horrified as she spoke: "You are hunting, looking for the right target, quietly killing the target, and then taking away the target's body and desecrating it at will!"

Black Robe Mage: "...I suggest you read less books. Also, you have to understand one thing: the reason I joined the team was because of your enthusiastic invitation. I rejected you at that time. Do you remember?

But you insisted that the team was short of one person and forced me to come, and I refused at the time!"

Ji Ruo: “?”

He looked at Emily with an unusual look in his eyes.

After thinking for a while, Ji Ruo took out a handful of melon seeds and a small pony from his four-dimensional pocket, moved a little distance away, and looked at them with interest.

Come to think of it, Emily seemed to have invited me in the same way. This guy...

Emily almost cried: "Who told you to hide your identity? If you had told me earlier that you were a necromancer, would I still invite you?

Besides, there is no necromancer who would appear on the street openly!"

"Yes, I can."

The black robe wizard said: "We necromancers are just occupational characteristics, and many of our spells are related to death... Maybe some necromancers are more perverted, but not all of them.

You don't even know me, yet you say I'm evil. This is simply slander and a prejudice against death!"

"But, but..."

The black-robed wizard didn't wait for Emily to finish her words before continuing, "Besides, you have also concealed your identity, haven't you? Although I am a necromancer, I am still a human being after all.

You are an elf, and you appear openly in human territory. How dare you say that to me?

Even if your identity is exposed, you are more dangerous. After all, people will just burn me to death, but you... can't say for sure."

Emily was shocked again: "How do you know I'm an elf?! I know, you must have been eyeing me for a long time, planning to sneak up on me, gain my trust and favor, and then secretly drug me one night and sell me as a slave to those scary rich people!

Yes, that's it, it's written in the book!"

“…”

The black robe wizard twitched his lips and suddenly said, "Forget it, it's tiring to talk to you, let's just be frank...

I did come here to buy something, mainly to buy some monster skeletons to take back and experiment with magic, but as soon as I got here, you asked me to form a team. I didn't plan to enter the dungeon, but then I thought about it and it seemed more convenient to study magic down there, and the materials were fresher, so I came here."

As he spoke, the black-robed wizard took a deep breath, took off his hood, and slowly said, "Let me introduce myself again. My name is Olivina Sheila, and I believe in the goddess of darkness and death."

As the hood was removed, Sheila's voice gradually turned from hoarse to ethereal.

As an elf, Emily has a delicate face that is difficult for humans to achieve, but under Sheila's hood, is a face that is as delicate as Emily's.

The dark green curly hair looks unique.

Emily was shocked again: "Impossible! How come you don't have any acne on your face?! A necromancer can't be so good-looking!"

Shira: "...If you attack me again, I will turn you into a corpse lich!"

"don't want!"

Sheila said coldly, "It's your turn to introduce, Miss Elf."

Emily was frightened. She quickly lifted her hair to show her cute pointed elf ears. She said, "My name is Emily. I come from the Elf Forest. I like to read adventure novels. I believe in the goddess of nature and life. My favorite person is..."

Emily spilled the beans and told everything that needed to be told.

"Well, nice to meet you, Miss Emily." Sheila said, and suddenly took Emily's sweaty little hand and whispered: "I am not the kind of necromancer you think. I also think it is disgusting to play with corpses at will, so I never delve into the art of sewing corpses... In short, although I am a necromancer, I am a good person.

You’ll know once you spend some time with me.”

Emily forced out a smile that was uglier than crying: "Okay, okay..."

Afterwards, the two girls simultaneously looked at Ji Ruo, who was sitting on a pony beside them, eating melon seeds and watching the show. The meaning in their eyes was very obvious:

It's your turn.

Ji Ruo hesitated for a moment, then took out a handful of melon seeds and spread them out in front of the two girls, saying, "These are all I have. I didn't bring much this time, so you guys should eat sparingly."

"?"

Sheila said unhappily, "We have been frank with each other. Shouldn't you also reintroduce yourself, Mr. Fighter?"

"Ah? Oh, you don't want melon seeds."

Ji Ruo breathed a sigh of relief and stuffed the melon seeds back into his pocket.

Emily stretched out her hand, grabbed in vain in the air, and then retracted it resentfully.

Ji Ruo stood up solemnly, straightened the red scarf on his chest, clasped his fists together, and said solemnly: "My name is Ji Ruo." M. cascoo

The two girls looked at Ji Ruo with some anticipation.

After a moment.

Silla's eyes widened: "No, no?"

"Yes."

"Impossible! How can a fighter release lightning?"

"That's not lightning." Ji Ruo shook his head slightly, then grabbed Emily's hand, rubbed it on Sheila's black robe, and quickly placed it on Emily's head.

Suddenly, Emily's golden hair fluttered, and Ji Ruo said seriously, "It was static electricity."

"Static electricity..."

Sheila was stunned. She was very smart and immediately understood what static electricity was.

"No, how can static electricity be so powerful?!"

Previously, she suspected that Ji Ruo's palm thunder was thunder magic, but she was a little confused because compared with thunder magic, Ji Ruo's lightning was too weak.

But if it's static electricity - how can it be that strong? It can even shoot out!

"Yes, as long as the friction is strong enough."

Ji Ruo didn't explain any more. He suddenly took off his shoes, threw them over his head, and said, "Okay, aren't we here to explore the ninth floor? Are you planning to just sit here and chat? Let's go."

After taking a look at the direction indicated by the tip of his shoe, Ji Ruo determined the direction and led the way.

Sheila held Emily's hand and lagged behind slightly.

Glancing at Ji Ruo's back, Sheila whispered, "How is it? Did I write it well?"

"What, what?" Emily's eyes were filled with fear and confusion.

Sheila was stunned for a moment: "No way? You are pretending so thoroughly? Could it be that the information you got from Mother Earth is different from what I got?"

"What, what Earth Mother? I believe in the goddess of nature and life... I can't get any inspiration from the Earth Mother..." Emily said weakly.

Sheila: “???”

What happened? Did the person in charge make a mistake?!

She looked at Emily carefully, her face full of suspicion.

Why does this guy pretend to know nothing?

…
