The **** halo of Priest Augustus really appeared at the gate of the cemetery, and there was only one continuous shadow, which meant that he had only been here once in 24 hours. However, Xia De could only see the figure of the priest entering the cemetery in the fog, but he did not see the figure of the priest reappearing.
"Strange, did the priest climb over the railing and run into the mountains?"
Xia De followed the figure of the priest into the cemetery, not particularly worried about the evil spirits. Theoretically speaking, unless it is an evil spirit formed by relics or other external factors, it is not a big threat to a three-ring warlock like him.
After all, even if you become an evil spirit with resentment in your heart, it is only the power of a soul. The power of unreasonable human resentment is stronger than that of ring warlocks who risked their lives to read ancient texts, touch old relics, and chase crazy old gods in exchange for power. Although the ring warlock is an ideal force, it is also very basic.
Because the priest had already obtained the location of the tomb from Ms. Michelle of the "House of the Blind", he did not go to the gravekeeper to find it, but walked on the stone road between the tombstones with a clear goal, and successfully found the words Tombstone of "Matilda Fox".
The tomb is located under a large pine tree with luxuriant branches in the center of the cemetery, and the figure of the priest Augustus stayed here for a long time. Xia De didn't want to pry into other people's privacy, but those overlapping blood-red halos undoubtedly pointed to the mood of Priest Augustus who sat down and looked at the tombstone.
"He failed to hold her hand when he was young. This is a lesson for me. You must hold on tight..."
[But you don't seem to have enough hands. 】
Her voice suddenly appeared, almost scaring the sentimental Xia De.
"Don't underestimate me. Also, are you sure the mist is okay?"
The white mist spreading from the mountains and forests is even more exaggerated than the smog created by Tobesk due to industrial development. Not only was the water vapor extremely heavy, but the visibility in the fog was even worse than Shad thought.
[At least there is no problem for now. 】
Xia De then opened his mouth and took a sharp breath, inhaling a small amount of mist into his lungs. Because the inhalation was a bit too fierce, he couldn't help coughing:
"What now?"
【no problem. 】
Xia De nodded, bent down and straightened the bunch of wilted white chrysanthemums placed in front of the tombstone, and then prepared to continue searching for the whereabouts of Priest Augustus.
Looking around, there is actually a soul with a transparent body floating in the fog not far away, but it is restricted by the corpse and cannot stay away. This kind of harmless soul will leave soon, so Xia De ignored it.
After the figure of the priest climbed up from the ground, he did not return along the original path, but walked towards the chapel in the center of the cemetery, presumably wanting to inquire about the daily management of the tomb.
But the priest failed to reach the church. Shade followed his figure from another path between the tombstones, and returned to the stone path in the cemetery. , and then the defensive action.
"What?"
Xia De realized that he might have been close to the truth.
The August priest who was attacked did not revel in the fight, but turned and ran towards the entrance of the catacombs further away. The red halo clearly described the figure of the priest when he ran away. I have to admit that although he is a bit older, his skills are still very good.
"What attacked the priest?"
Xia De didn't follow directly, but looked left and right, returned to the tombstones again, and found the floating soul he saw just now.
He stayed on a tombstone that read "Joel Ponn", and the cause of death written on the tombstone was that he died of heart disease at the age of 47.
Mr. Joel Pang's soul is extraordinarily transparent, and his expression is relatively peaceful. Although he doesn't know why it stayed there, this kind of soul is harmless.
"Sir, may I ask, did you see any strange things around here yesterday afternoon?"
Xia De walked over and asked very politely. There were no people in the cemetery in the afternoon, and with the fog in the mountains, Xia De didn't have to worry about being seen talking to "air".
The soul still retains basic rationality, but it just glanced at Xia De, expressionless and did not speak.
Xia De raised his fingers, his expression became more serious, and moonlight appeared on his fingertips:
"Sir, did you see anything strange yesterday afternoon?"
It seemed that he was a little afraid of the moonlight in Xia De's hand, so Mr. Pang En's soul spoke:
"Lend me your body for a day, let me experience healthy living again, and I'll tell you."
A threatening expression appeared on Xia De's face, and the chain in the sleeve shot towards the soul's forehead, but stopped abruptly at a position only one little finger away from the soul, and the sharp metal at the end of the chain pointed to it:
"you say."
The horror and filth of [The Chains of Great Sin] can be clearly felt by even a living person, let alone a soul. Mr. Poon was obviously frightened, turned around and wanted to run, but was restrained by his underground corpse, so he couldn't run away:
"I know! Yesterday afternoon, an old gentleman wearing a priest's robe came here, and then encountered a monster that jumped out of the grass. It looked like a human being, with rotten brown flesh all over its body, and a strange head that looked like three It's pyramid-shaped, and it's lying on the ground. Oh, that thing is terrifying! Just looking at it, I feel like my soul is being shaken."
Xia De frowned. This is the lowest-level undead creature that ring warlocks will learn in the first year, even lower than skeletons. The upper and lower limits of this low-level undead creature's race are very different. If Priest Augustus encountered a very powerful ghoul, he might not be able to handle it.
"But how could there be ghouls in the public cemetery? Moreover, would the priest Augustus, who was proficient in the power of death, be killed because of a ghoul?"
Xia De bid farewell to the soul frightened by him, and continued to follow in the footsteps of Priest Augustus. Priest Augustus went straight to the catacombs, but the door leading to the underground was locked, so the figure of the priest broke the lock without hesitation.
The gravekeeper had changed the lock, and now the lock in front of Shad was new. He opened the new lock, and entered the catacombs, which were colder than the ground, although there was no mist.
Although after the adventure in [Dark Realm], Xia De's eyes can see in the dark, but the vision is not clear, so he still lights up the moonlight on his finger. Of course, there are also gas pipes in the catacombs, and there are quaint gas lamps on the walls. But Xia De didn't want the old tomb guard guarding here to be frightened when he saw the gas meter managing the gas pipeline in the tomb suddenly turn.
The air underground was particularly dull and smelled of corruption. Following the figure of the priest fighting and retreating all the way to the deepest part of the cemetery, judging from the metal plate hanging at the corner of the passage, this area is the earliest batch of underground tombs excavated more than 30 years ago.
The priest did not enter any of the burial chambers, but retreated under the wall at the end of the passage where the unlit kerosene lamp hung. Afterwards, the red halo that Xia De followed all the way disappeared.
"Huh? The effect of [Blood Echo] is over?"
Xia De turned around and looked behind him, those figures with clear tracks still existed, but the last figure did disappear under the wall.
"Hide the walls? There are two exits from [Space Labyrinth] in Fort Midhill?"
Hot steam spewed out from the narrow tomb passage, and four-color aura-like runes flickered on the life ring. The light of [Time and Space] shone on the plain earth wall in front of it, but nothing happened.
However, there seemed to be something reflecting light on the ground illuminated by the aura. Shad bent down to pick it up, and found that it was a brass pendant with a notched ring. The brass-colored upper notched ring is the holy emblem of the righteous **** [Mr. Dawn]. This pendant should have been left here by Priest Augustus. Shade has seen him wearing this ornament.
"It seems that I went to the wrong place, but why did it disappear? Is there a mechanism? Or, it needs a secret word to open this wall? Or, the priest actually knows the spells like [Penetrating the Wall] and [Traveling Earth]?"
Xia De narrowed his eyes, allowing the last figure left by the priest to become a continuous movement. The figure retreated in front of the earthen wall, with his back to the earthen wall, making movements similar to thaumaturgy. Then, the priest disappeared abruptly, and the last action was still casting a spell, as if the priest had been erased from the world by a huge eraser.
"What happened? Are there traces of elements?"
[Outlanders, you need to put your hands on the wall to...something is coming. 】
Xia De turned to look in the direction he came from. There was no light or shadow in the deep tomb passage, but he also heard footsteps.
It was obviously not the sound of human footsteps, but rather like an animal on all fours, running at high speed. The sound came from the tomb passage next door, and Xia De's actions just now seemed to wake up something that was dormant here.
With the sound of a series of footsteps getting closer, Xia De drew a cross in the air with his right hand, making the cross stop in front of him.
Under the criss-crossing light, in the far tomb passage, the whole body is covered with rotting flesh, with hands and feet on the ground, a swollen head, and a terrifying monster with burnt-yellow teeth turned out, finally appeared.
"It really is a ghoul."
Because of [Long Hair of the Unlucky], Shade will attract evil spirits or undead creatures more strongly in the next period of time. This is probably why the grave guard here was not attacked when he was dealing with the damaged door lock, but he was attacked as soon as Shade came.
"It was the one that attacked Priest Augustus yesterday?"
Thinking in his heart, Xia De raised his foot and kicked the crossed moonlight that was parked in the air forward.
The tomb passages in the catacombs are already narrow, UU reading www.uukanshu. The arc drawn by com Xia De almost blocked the entire passage. But when the monster coming from a distance met the intersecting moonlight, it suddenly jumped and got through the intersecting gap.
"So agile?"
It was just a few ups and downs, and the horrible monster exuding the smell of corpses had already rushed in front of Xia De. Not only the horror of its own appearance, seeing it at close range, an unreasonable sense of fear directly appeared in Xia De's heart, this is the innate fear power of the undead.
But for Shad, who once faced the Fort of Dread, this fear had little effect.
First, he threw out a moonlight casually, making the agile ghoul have to dodge, then Xia De pointed forward:
"Silver Moon!"
The burst of moonlight appeared in the gloomy tomb passage. This moonlight itself has sacred attributes, and it has an extraordinary killing effect on undead creatures.
Sure enough, under the light of holy silver that was even close to pure white, the ghoul with black smoke all over his body quickly backed away. The biological organs of this creature were completely damaged, so it was unable to express its anger and fear with screams. But this kind of silence made it even more terrifying.
"Felian..."
I wanted to use [Flianna's Witch's Light] to melt the opponent's limbs, but the closer the distance, the greater the power of this thaumaturgy, and Xia De didn't want to get close to the opposite thing at all.
"Ragley's Leap."
He had prepared the spell-casting materials long before entering the catacombs, so before the moonlight on his fingertips had receded, he stepped forward and appeared behind the retreating ghoul.
The moonlight in his hand got closer and closer to that terrifying thing, and this seemed to arouse the other party's fierceness. He turned around sharply and opened his rotten mouth to Xia De, and then rushed towards Xia De with the terrible injury that was emitting black smoke all over his body.
