Chapter 129 The Yellow Bird Behind
Although he didn't know what happened over there... Lujiao realized that "Thunder"'s scream might attract giants.
Therefore, his first reaction was to randomly block three road gates that he had not opened.
He didn't know where these doors led to.
They hadn't yet found the kitchen or the banquet hall—the very place where the Demonic Cauldron was. They also hadn't found the bedroom where the giant couple rested. To avoid blocking the entrance to the Demonic Cauldron, the antlers hadn't sealed any doors.
But they have clearly explored more than one safe route.
Even if they were chased by giants, they had their own way to escape.
In this case, it would definitely be a good idea to block any door you see that you haven't seen before.
I don’t know if the giant can be blocked... but at least it can block the way for other teams to come, or block the way for Thunder and others to escape.
——If you’re lucky enough, you might even be able to trap the strongest Aleister in a dead end!
When no one knows the way, the space for everyone to move around is further compressed... This is undoubtedly an advantage for their team, including assassins who can sneak throughout this dark environment and necromancers who can transform corpses into instant combat power.
As a spellcasting profession, the Necromancer relies heavily on a medium. The Necromancer's medium is related to bones, either a bone staff made of bones, such as the tibia or spine; or a magic tool made of a skull, or a shield made of bone fragments.
Without a medium, his spellcasting would be very slow, requiring lengthy chanting or rituals before he could cast a spell.
After chanting in a low voice for seven or eight seconds, a dark yellow, translucent beam of light shot out from his hands, piercing the darkness that he had gradually become accustomed to.
The beam shot towards the door at breakneck speed, leaving a distinct petrification mark on the bronze. Using the weak illumination provided by the beam itself, Deerhorn aimed the petrifying light at the doorknob. He continued the petrification for about two or three seconds, transforming the doorknob completely into stone, even more brittle than bronze, before he ceased the spell.
"How much mana do you have left?"
Lily suddenly asked.
"There's still a lot."
Deer Horn replied calmly, "Resurrecting a fresh corpse consumes almost no mana. The longer a corpse has been dead, the more mana it consumes."
There was a hint of warning in his words.
He keenly sensed a hint of malice in Mr. Gray's voice. To dissuade his temporary teammate from attacking him, he warned, "You must have a trump card, right? I do too—don't forget, I was the first to arrive."
The man in gray did not reply.
Lily had decided to kill him, but now she was waiting, as quiet as a spider in its web.
When Ash and Antler arrived, they found that the Giant had not yet arrived.
Surprisingly, there was a faint light. This was the first light Lily saw since entering the ceremony. After adjusting to the darkness, the light was even a little dazzling.
There are three people here.
One of them had already fallen unconscious, lying on the side, while the other, with a gloomy expression, squatted beside the unconscious man.
There was also a person who looked to be in a bad mental state, standing calmly away from the fire.
He leaned leisurely against the wall, only his chin dimly illuminated by the light. He raised his hand and cordially greeted the approaching deer horns and the "king" who was following him.
Glancing at the quiet "King", the man raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "I think you are Deer Antler, right?"
Hearing this, the young soldier who was not unconscious looked up.
“…Thunder?”
Deer Horn asked tentatively.
"No, I'm a knight."
The young man replied, "Mr. Lei Ting has fallen into a coma... because of this Mr. Wuyun."
"Can you blame me for this?"
Wuyun smiled and asked in return, "Not a single secret I told you was false. Aren't you still sober?"
The knight sneered and remained silent.
Lily clearly felt that the atmosphere around the knight had changed slightly.
It wasn't depravity, nor was it madness. It was more like a person waking from a dream, or a child suddenly growing up.
What secret had he heard that caused him to change so drastically in such a short period of time?
But Lujiao suddenly reached out and touched his forehead.
This was the secret code he and Lily agreed upon, meaning that Lily should kill one person first.
——Who do you want to kill?
Lily looked up.
A gray spiderweb, visible only to her, spread out from beneath her feet.
Mr. Thunder fell into a coma, and the Knight was just a young man. And he was still protecting the unconscious Thunder.
Then the most threatening one is the one the knights call "Dark Cloud"...
Lily gradually faded into the shadows, gliding at a rapid speed.
The next moment, a gray thread silently appeared on Wuyun's neck.
A huge force that came from nowhere dragged him backward rapidly, and in the blink of an eye he was lost in the lightless darkness.
"——The Strangler Party?!"
The knight frowned and blurted out.
At this moment, the "king" who had been standing quietly beside the deer horns suddenly rushed over and punched the knight in the chin.
None of them had weapons, but the bodies they used were very strong.
Compared to the somewhat stiff movements of the "King", the knight's movements are very flexible.
He dodged the blow by tilting his head slightly, reached out to grab the linen at the King's collar, pushed him back suddenly, and then suddenly pulled, causing the King to lose his balance.
As the "King" staggered, the knight held the back of his head with both hands, raised his knee hard, and hit him hard on the bridge of his nose!
——This blow is enough to make a person faint.
So the knight raised his head and looked at the antlers warily.
Compared with the king who was the last to enter the ceremony, Deer Horn, as the first person to enter the ceremony, must have had some advantages.
I saw Lu Jiao raised his right hand and pointed it at me.
The knight slowly paced to the side - he was ready, intending to sprint in the opposite direction the moment he saw something, and then rush to the deer antlers and punch him!
But at this moment, his mind suddenly went blank.
It was like he was blacking out from being drunk... When he regained his sight, the king who had been knocked to the ground by his heavy blow had appeared beside him like a ghost without him noticing.
There was no sign of him having been attacked at all, his movements were extremely agile and his eyes showed no fluctuation at all.
——But I had clearly broken his nose just now!
The "king" took something out of his arms - the next moment, living thorns quickly grew out from between his fingers and turned into three whips.
The king suddenly raised his hand, and the thorn whip flew over, trying to wrap around the knight.
Seeing this, the knight tried to retreat, but his speed could not keep up with the speed of the vines' growth.
Seeing that he was about to exit the light, he finally couldn't help but raise his palm like a knife and tried to chop the vines hard.
The sharp gust of wind cut the vines, and at this moment the knight saw the opportunity, a ball of lightning burst out from his whole body, and he turned his palm into a fist and hammered it heavily on the king's chin!
A ball of lightning crackled and exploded where the knight's fist landed, burning the knight's own fist.
But fortunately, this time several electric sparks burst out from the king's body. He staggered two steps and finally fell down.
The knight just breathed a sigh of relief.
I saw Lujiao just snapping his fingers and giving the order calmly.
"—Rise again."
He finished speaking.
The fallen "king" recovered from his injuries as if time had gone back, and then climbed up again intact.
The knight's physical strength has been almost exhausted, Lujiao thought.
He put his hands together, placed his fingers on his chest, and began to chant the petrification spell in a low voice.
At this moment, Lei Ting finally woke up.
As soon as he woke up, he saw someone attacking the knight——
So he suddenly raised his hand, and a ball of dazzling light suddenly exploded in the air.
Deer Horn, the Knight, and Lily, who had just strangled the man, were caught off guard and attacked at the same time.
Everyone was blinded by him and lost their sight. The antler's spell and the knight's parry were interrupted at the same time.
Only the "King" was still acting normally and trying to launch an attack.
“——Undead!”
He shouted loudly, rushed forward and knocked the king away with his shoulder.
His fists shone with a hazy white light as he unleashed a series of powerful punches. It took him less than three seconds to knock the king down, and then he reached out and pressed his hand against the king's face.
A burst of white light burst out from his palm, piercing through the king's head and exploding in all directions.
After Thunder's hand was removed, the king's head began to quietly burn with flames. He tried to move, but gradually became quiet. The king finally stopped resurrecting.
"What's your profession?"
Lu Jiao was not in a hurry to attack, but asked curiously: "I have never seen it before."
“…Holy Knight.”
Lei Ting replied briefly. His voice was hoarse and his spirits were very depressed.
Lu Jiao pointed at the light behind them and said, "Speaking of which, how come this light of yours is..."
Halfway through listening, Lei Ting suddenly lowered his head, bent over, and raised his left arm - a roughly circular light shield condensed on his forearm, completely absorbing the instant petrifying light that Deer Horn shot out with his raised right index finger.
"I guessed it, sir."
Lei Ting's mouth curled up slightly: "I need to practice more... Your intentions are too obvious."
"—and what about mine?"
A sinister and evil voice sounded.
The pitch-black hound suddenly rushed over from the blind spot.
The moment he saw the hound, Lujiao abandoned "Gray" without hesitation and turned around and ran away.
Lei Ting immediately turned around and blocked with his shield, but the hound bit the light shield without hesitation - it only held on for a moment before biting it into pieces.
At the moment the light shield shattered, countless sea urchin-like sharp blades suddenly pierced out of the hound's body and directly penetrated Lei Ting's body!
Lei Ting's entire body was ablaze with white flames, and he hammered at the hound with all his might. However, the hound suddenly melted before his fist could touch him, falling to the ground and disappearing.
A figure with black liquid shadows dripping all over its body slowly approached and appeared within the range of the light.
He was completely enveloped in shadow, leaving only a pair of eyes gleaming with an eerie purple glow. A shadow hound emerged from his shadow once again, circling him. A vast expanse of shadow lay beneath his feet, shifting as he advanced, bubbling like a boiling pool of mud.
"——What a coincidence, everyone is here."
Aleister murmured, "Saves the cat and mouse time... doesn't it?"
"You evil beast!"
Thunder shouted angrily, then turned back and shouted angrily at the knight, "Run—find the Holy Lance!"
The knight hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded.
Aleister did not pursue him.
He simply put his hands behind his back, looked at Lei Ting curiously, and asked, "What secret did that man tell you? Can you tell me about it?"
"I have nothing to say to you, demon!"
Lei Ting answered loudly without hesitation: "Go eat shit with your demon master!"
The next moment, a sharp spear of shadow shot out without hesitation from the seething shadowy mire beneath Aiwass, instantly piercing him. The shadow, capable of corroding the tantra, instantly corroded Lei Ting's entire body, disintegrating him to the point of nothingness.
As the surroundings fell into silence again.
Aiwass squatted down, reached out and touched the hound, and said helplessly: "Don't be so excited..."
"...They should be the only two left."
Lily appeared silently behind Aiwass: "Do you want to chase them and kill them?"
"No need. It's just the first promotion ceremony. If it's just about winning, it won't be difficult anyway."
Aiwass shook his head: "The goal is to seek lost history from the dream world and obtain stronger entries... I'll see if I can get a higher level of shadow affinity.
"Besides, I'm planning on going to see the Holy Lance—are you coming?"
"I'm going with the Master."
Lily said softly, "I'll go wherever you say to go."
There was a hint of sadness in her voice.
Seven thousand words, updated!
