There was danger, vigilance, and a kind of call at the same time? There was a winding cobblestone road in front of the wooden house, leading all the way to Richard's current position. The surrounding area was overgrown with weeds, and it seemed that no one had taken care of this road for a long time.
This road should have been repaired by the previous owner of the cabin.
However, it might not be so easy for Richard to enter the wooden house along the cobblestone road.
The area between him and the wooden house now had more than a dozen different types of undead creatures, including undead knights on white bone horses, giant axe skeletons holding double-edged giant axes, zombies that were much larger than normal, abominations, and wandering evil spirits . Stephanie's scalp tingled when she saw this.
Although she was also a necromancer, she had never seen so many different kinds of first-level undead creatures.
Especially the undead knight riding on the white bone horse, the aura he exudes is extremely powerful, he is probably either at the top level of the first level or the second level.
In addition, Richard could vaguely see many traces of undead creatures in the surrounding fog area. In other words, if they could not quickly defeat the group of undead creatures in front of them, they were afraid that more undead creatures would continue to appear around them.
This situation Richard couldn't help but fall into deep thought. These undead creatures seemed to be guarding or protecting something.
Direct force attack?
Obviously not!
Including the vengeful abominations and blood-bone puppets, I can only defeat three or four first-level undead creatures on the opposite side at most.
But there are more than ten undead creatures on the opposite side, and one of them is very likely a second-level bone knight. If he forces himself on, he will probably be beaten to a pulp.
Richard pulled Stephanie and slowly retreated into the fog.
"Stephanie, wrenches, springs, and clockwork puppets." Richard thought for a moment and turned to Stephanie.
Stephanie was stunned for a moment, then her beautiful eyes widened, as if she had thought of something. She took off her package and began to search, praising, "Master, are you planning to use the clockwork puppet to lure away these undead creatures so that we can enter the cabin?"
Richard nodded and praised: "Getting smarter, that's right."
Stephanie handed Richard a clockwork puppet the size of a rabbit, and then stared at her master with her big eyes, watching how Richard operated it.
After all, these clockwork puppets are shaped like little people and are only covered with iron sheets. If you let them rush forward directly, they will probably be chopped to pieces by those powerful undead creatures.
It would be completely ruined if it took less than a second to attract attention, so it obviously wouldn’t have the effect of attracting attention!
So, Stephanie really wanted to see how her master operated.
Richard carefully disassembled the outer shell of the clockwork puppet, revealing the slightly complicated gear transmission device and spring inside. Richard used a wrench to stack the springs together into three, and then reconnected the transmission device.
Stephanie's eyes lit up. An overloaded clockwork puppet? A super-fast clockwork puppet? She instantly understood Richard's idea, which was to make the already fast-running clockwork puppet run even faster by loading more clockwork.
If it is improved to a speed of whoosh, it can cross a large area. In that case, the undead creatures will be unable to do anything to it and will chase after it.
However, according to the internal space of the clockwork puppet, three springs are already the limit.
Then, she discovered that her master, Richard, had stuffed a lot of Fire Dancing Star and Silver Moon Dust powder into the clockwork puppet.
In other words, once the clockwork puppet is attacked, a huge explosion will occur, further attracting the attention of the undead creatures.
As expected of the master, he could even think of such a method! Stephanie said admiringly.
"Stephana, once the attention of the undead creatures is attracted, we will rush in. If that doesn't work, you can use your innate witchcraft, Shadow Transformation, and take me to the door of the cabin." Richard thought about it, arranged a backup plan, and instructed Stephana.
"Okay, Master." Stephanie nodded heavily.
"Then let's get ready." Richard started to turn the knob behind the clockwork puppet vigorously. Because he used three maximum strength springs, Richard made a "squeak! squeak!" sound when he turned it! After twisting it more than ten times, Richard placed the clockwork puppet on the ground and whispered to Stephanie, "Ready! 3, 2, 1!"
“Whoosh!”
The puppet equipped with three clockwork springs rushed into the group of undead creatures like a rocket, leaving a long black line.
The majestic bone horse knight felt something running past him at high speed. The dark green soul fire in his eyes jumped twice. He seemed very angry. Why did a small thing pass by his feet? His dignity was seriously challenged! Immediately, he threw down the reins. After a while of whining, the bone horse quickly chased in the direction of the clockwork puppet.
This happened to other undead creatures, and caused similar effects.
The result was that most of the undead creatures were attracted by the clockwork puppet and chased after it.
Richard and Stephana had already rushed halfway along the cobblestone path, but at this moment, a giant axe skeleton that had not yet been attracted away discovered the two of them, and immediately roared and rushed towards them.
Richard waved his right hand, and a blood-bone puppet jumped out from behind him, quickly rushing towards the giant axe skeleton and immediately intercepting it.
From this point on, there were no other obstacles on his way to the wooden house.
Soon, Richard and Stephanie, who were moving forward at full speed, were about to reach the entrance of the cabin.
On the other side, the power of the three fully wound springs of the clockwork puppet was soon exhausted, and its speed gradually slowed down. Soon, the Bone Knight, who arrived first, angrily swung the sword in his hand and slashed out a dark green energy attack.
"boom!!"
The moment the clockwork puppet shattered, a huge mushroom cloud appeared at the same time.
The silver flakes mixed in it immediately spread in all directions under the high-speed airflow, instantly injuring all the surrounding undead creatures.
The undead creatures roared, intending to tear the little thing into pieces. Unfortunately, no matter how hard they searched, they were just helpless and furious! The clockwork puppet had already been shattered to pieces! Taking this opportunity, Richard took Stephanie to the entrance of the wooden house.
"Master, I feel that wooden house is very strange and dangerous!" Stephanie frowned and said with a palpitation.
"Yes, I felt it too! But since we are here, there is no reason to retreat now. Don't be afraid, I am here!" Richard comforted.
Although Richard felt the danger, it did not seem to be strong, but the sense of calling was becoming stronger and stronger.
So, Richard decided that he must go in and take a look.
Before entering the cabin, Richard held Stephanie's hand and told her not to worry too much. Richard let the evil spirit abomination go in front, and he and Stephanie were in the middle, and slowly entered the cabin in the forest.
Gradually, a strange feeling filled Richard's heart, as if he had stepped into some kind of force field. This strange force field should be the reason why the concentration of dark element energy particles here is particularly high.
When Richard reached the foot of the wooden door, he was startled and looked up quickly.
He was shocked to find that the abomination, which was originally more than four meters tall, could now calmly enter the wooden door which was only two meters and two centimeters high and one meter and five centimeters wide.
This... Could it be that under the influence of this force field, even the physical properties of creatures within a certain range, such as height and weight, were distorted? This was really beyond the scope of his ability at this level.
I am afraid that even if a second-level wizard comes, he may not be able to explain the situation Richard is facing now.
However, this strange situation still did not stop Richard from wanting to enter.
Soon, Richard brought Stephanie into the cabin.
The evil spirit's eyes revealed obvious confusion, as if to say, "Why have I become so much smaller? Where is this?"
As soon as they entered the wooden house, the exhibits inside were displayed in front of Richard and the others.
This seemed to be a residence. The floor was covered with dust and the corners were covered with cobwebs. In the hall on the first floor stood a very old dining table and five or six tables and chairs.
There were no plates on the dining table, but there was a thick layer of dust, as if no one had lived here for a long, long time.
Stephanie pulled Richard's sleeve and said, "Master, look."
After saying that, he pointed to the footprints on the ground.
Richard looked down and saw a lot of dust on the ground, and a messy trail of footprints leading to the stairs to the second floor was visible to the naked eye.
These footprints were of various sizes, some were normal-sized, some were obviously foot bone marks left by a skeleton, and there were also footprints of the abomination that had just come in.
Richard suddenly had an idea. Could it be that all these undead creatures outside came from the second floor? That's why they left such a mess of footprints? The more Richard thought about it, the more he felt that his guess was true!
"Stephanie, let's go up and take a look!" Richard pointed to the second floor.
The two of them walked slowly up to the second floor with hatred for the vengeful spirits.
“Crunch!”
Richard was shocked. He didn't expect that the evil spirit could step on the wooden stairs without any problems. But when he stepped on them, they made a sound, as if his weight was heavier than that of the evil spirit.
Stephanie's face was a little nervous, and she felt better when Richard tilted his head and held her fair little hand tightly.
“Crunch! Crunch!”
The wooden staircase made a sound with every step, which made Richard and Stephanie's hearts begin to hang in the balance.
"Be careful!" Richard whispered.
At the same time, the aura of death began to linger around him, and hideous bone armor began to spread all over his body.
The two spells, Deathly Haunting and Magic Armor, have now been cast by Richard.
As they were about to reach the second floor, the vengeful spirit of abomination, leading the way in front, reached the second floor before Richard.
The evil spirit looked around and didn't seem to find any enemy.
This made Richard and Stephanie feel a little relieved.
As soon as Richard's left foot stepped onto the second floor.
Sudden!
Five spirits appeared out of nowhere right in front of him. All of them had hideous faces and strong aura fluctuations. They were all evil spirits.
As if it was rehearsed, the five spirits raised their heads to the sky and screamed at the same time! "Ah!!"
"No! This is the roar of evil spirits!" Richard just reacted and felt a sharp pain in his brain! The continuous tsunami-like sound waves almost pierced his eardrums. Fortunately, Richard cast the Deathly Haunting and Magic Armor in advance, otherwise, with the roar of evil spirits cast by the five evil spirits at the same time.
I’m afraid it could seriously injure him!
Fortunately, Stephanna was the last one to arrive, so she didn't have time to go to the second floor. At this moment, she was like being outside a layer of bubbles, unable to enter the second floor.
A glance at Stephanie's anxious expression and the way she slapped the film made Richard feel relieved.
Because the roar of the evil spirit just now obviously did not affect Stephanie, which also proved that he and Stephanie had been separated by some strange barrier.
The moment the sound wave ended, five evil spirits rushed towards Richard at the same time. Richard was already stunned on the spot and had blood coming out of his ears and nose. They attacked him viciously.
Ten transparent claws stabbed fiercely at the body of the resentful abomination! When these claws grabbed the thick skin of the resentful abomination, they penetrated into it slowly like soaking in butter, and then tore it fiercely! It was as if a small piece of the soul of the resentful abomination was torn off.
"roar!!"
The vengeful abomination was attacked instantly, and was immediately awakened by the severe pain, letting out a roar!
But it was seriously injured by the concentrated fire of five evil spirits.
Not from the body, but from the soul.
But what was strange was that in the next second, the evil spirit's little red eyes, which were originally filled with anger, became sleepy again, and its upper and lower eyelids touched each other repeatedly, and it began to doze off.
This gave Richard a shock. It seemed to be some kind of hypnotic negative effect of "Claws of the Evil Spirit".
More importantly, once the vengeful abomination cannot withstand the opponent's attack, it will be directly exposed to the concentrated fire of the five evil spirits.
"Soul Link!!"
Richard used a rarely used innate magic - Soul Link! He instantly linked his soul with the Wraith Abomination and took the initiative to share the damage suffered by the Wraith Abomination.
That’s right!
Richard was using the witchcraft effect in reverse at this moment, transferring part of the damage borne by the summoned undead to himself.
Suddenly!
Richard felt a pain that went deep into his bones, "Ah!!!"
He finally felt the pain that the evil spirit that had just endured five "Evil Spirit's Claws" was feeling!
Almost at the same time, the vengeful spirit's hateful blood-red eyes suddenly opened, and after glancing at its master Richard with gratitude, the bulge on its neck began to shrink vigorously.
"Venom Spit!!"
"puff!!"
As the Wraith Abomination opened its mouth wide, it sprayed venom all around like a high-pressure water gun, and the five evil spirits screamed! This scene made the Wraith Abomination's eyes narrowed immediately.
The next second, another bulge on its neck continued to expand!
