Chapter 348 (1/2)
The internal force shot out from the finger of Long Yi whistled past Wushuang and hit the black rock behind her. Suddenly, a black liquid as if water arrows rained down, drenching meditating Wushuang's hair and face. At the same time, a hint of shadow peeled off from the black rock behind Wushuang and soon afterward, it dissipated into the air.
”Boss, what was that?” Barbarian Bull moved closer to Long Yi and asked while alertly holding Greenstone Rule.
Long Yi shook his head, then squatting down, he used his finger to touch that black liquid and smelled it. He unexpectedly smelled a faint smell of blood.
The strong energy fluctuation of Long Yi woke up both Nalan Ruyue and Wushuang from their meditation. And when Wushuang sensed that her hair and face was covered with strange black liquid, she who had mysophobia suddenly felt sick and wanted to vomit.
”Long Yi…” Wushuang got up and looked at Long Yi with some fury and doubt.
”This has nothing to do with me. I just noticed that something attached to the rock was quietly approaching you, so I attacked it. This black liquid on your body might be its blood.” Long Yi laughed hollowly and explained.
This moment, Wushaung had already recovered most of her physical strength and magic power via meditation, so she just cast an Opaque Barrier, and then she changed all of her clothes after conveniently was.h.i.+ng herself.
After Wushuang had changed her clothing, Long Yi solemnly explained everything he saw just a moment ago, and also told them the circ.u.mstance of this narrow gorge.
”This place shouldn't be like the Death Sea of Flowers where no matter how much we walk, we cannot find the exit, right?” Nalan Ruyue looked all around and said with some worry. Moreover, she didn't know whether this was a figment of her imagination or not, but she was constantly feeling that this place was very strange.
”That shouldn't be the case, don't you all feel the air of this narrow gorge is flowing? This implies, there must be a way out on both sides.” Wushuang sensed her surroundings with fixed attention and said indifferently said.
”Correct, we can casually choose one side to go and we will surely find the way out.” Long Yi looked at Wushuang with praise and said.
After that, four people and three beasts walked towards one side of the narrow gorge for more than an hour. Suddenly, the light pa.s.sing through the opening above the narrow gorge gradually faded away, the air suddenly became very gloomy and cold, and a strong wind suddenly blew up inside the narrow gorge.
”Such a dense death qi.” Long Yi was startled and he immediately instructed everyone to guard their spirit.
Now, with four people leaning their back against one another, and three G.o.d-beasts taking the lead, they slowly advance forward.
Suddenly, the furs of three G.o.d-beasts stood erect as they simultaneously made the posture of battle readiness. As for Long Yi's group of four, they only felt a burst of coldness and strange sounds coming from all direction, but there was not even a single soul at sight around them.
Wushuang raised her hand's Ice Blue Magic Staff, then chanting a tediously long obscure incantation, cold qi spread out as she cast World of Snow and Ice. After that, the black cliffs on both sides of this narrow gorge were rapidly covered with a thick layer of ice which continuously stretched to 100 meters in length.
A burst of thin black mist rose up from the layer of ice, and the layer of ice instantly melted and disappeared without a trace, moreover, that cold strange sounds became even more unbridled.
”Ignore these things, let them cry. We should move quickly.” Long Yi frowned and said.
Just after Long Yi finished speaking, Barbarian Bull at his side was involuntarily drawn into the black cliff. Fortunately, Barbarian Bull's reaction was fast enough. He brandished his Greenstone Rule with great strength behind him, then with a splas.h.i.+ng sound, black liquid sprayed, then a hint of shadow began to dissipate as the force attracting Barbarian Bull also ceased.
”Is it specter?” Nalan Ruyue asked. She could feel dense death qi, but that didn't appear to resemble the usual death qi of specter.
”Might be, might not be. Did you see, the magic attack seemed to be completely ineffective against these things, but on the contrary, physical attacks have great effect? From this aspect, they are unlikely to be specters as specters are completely immune against physical attacks.” Long Yi made a wry smile and said.
”Yes, but these things don't have a physical body, how can this be explained?” Wushuang confusedly said. She also had the feeling that her Rank 10 magic World of Snow and Ice of just now was completely ineffective.
Long Yi shrugged his shoulders as he also didn't understand what was going on.
However, now that they knew the specific properties of these unknown creatures, Long Yi and others also changed their ways to deal with them. Among four of them, only he and Barbarian Bull possessed powerful physical attack, so they faced the black cliffs placing two women between them to protect.
Throughout the way, Long Yi and Barbarian Bull killed innumerable such unknown creatures, however, as if endless, their number increased more and more.
The attacks of these creatures weren't terrifying, and they were also vulnerable to the physical attack, but, what gave headache to Long Yi and others was, these unknown creatures could actually ignore the existence of the barriers. No matter how tough the barriers were, they strangely could easily penetrate in.
”Ruyue, use Purify Magic to see whether it has the effect or not?” Long Yi said to Nalan Ruyue. Although these unknown creatures were not afraid of magic attack, but if they belong to dark attribute, then holy light magic should have some effect on them.
Nalan Ruyue nodded her head, then raising her magic staff, a soft and white light ball rose to the sky, and radiance spread all around. Now, Nalan Ruyue appeared devout and a l.u.s.trous and transparent light was wandering about her face making her look incomparably holy and pure.
The strange voices suddenly became much smaller, and dense death qi also became much thinner. It seems these unknown creatures indeed belong to dark attribute. Merely, when the Purify Magic of Nalan Ruyue ended, these cold voices and weakened death qi also resurged.
At this time, a burst of suction force attacked Long Yi, pulling him towards the black cliff on one side. Long Yi just thought to break free, but suddenly a thought appeared in his heart and he let this suction force pull him to the black cliff. Then Long Yi's big hand as if piercing through the void moved towards the dark cliff, and spirit power from the s.p.a.ce between his eyes suddenly gushed out along his big hand and bound the invisible creature. Next, he put forth his strength to pull, and a hint of shadow was pulled out from inside the dark cliff by Long Yi. This creature was struggling violently and seeing its struggling didn't have any effect, it suddenly curled up into a ball, and suddenly exploded, changing into a wisp of shadow and faded away without leaving any trace on that dark cliff.
”I might know what these creatures are.” Long Yi smiled and said.
”What?” All three of them asked simultaneously.
Long Yi smiled and with a dark qi suddenly appearing in his hand, he quickly thought an incantation, then drawing lines in the sky with both hands, a pitch-black s.p.a.ce fissure appeared. And from inside, three ugly undead wearing silver armors came out and stood in front of Long Yi. They were different domain's undead, Silver Armored Corpse Kings.
