Astral Apostle

   Chapter 83 The Secret of Witchcraft

a few minutes ago.

  Lin En hid in the shadows of the streets and alleys, probing from time to time, carefully watching for bandits approaching.

His face was slightly pale, his mental state was poor, his body was only slightly better than ordinary people, and he was tired after running for a long time. He hid and rested for a while in this dark alley that was not easy to be found, and he was still sweating constantly. Tired, but also the heat wave smoked.

   "Fortunately, I can do some witchcraft, otherwise I would have been killed by this group of thugs."

  Lynn couldn't help pressing his temples to relieve the tingling sensation in his brain, which was a sequelae of using spells.

  I have lived in seclusion in Deep Rock City for two years. I usually live like an ordinary person, doing some simple handicrafts to make money. I have never shown my peculiar side.

   did not expect such a turmoil to break out in the safe Deep Rock City, and he had to use the power he learned from this coincidence to protect himself.

  I have never used to fight with people since my training. Fortunately, I have quietly imagined what to do in battle before, so when I encountered a single bandit, I successfully attacked with that magical ability.

  Lin's face was ugly, and his thoughts returned to the shock a few hours ago.

At that time, just after the evening and the beginning of the night, he closed the door as always, and studied the remnant book at home that he had read over and over hundreds of times. It recorded a kind of unheard of magical power. technique".

  Since he got this book by accident, Lynn has read it almost every day, trying to figure out the magical content in the book, never letting others know of the existence of this book, and for this reason, he has never exposed the power that he only got from death by following the instructions in the book.

  While he was reading the book well, there was a sudden noise of chaos outside the house, as if a crowd was running away. Feeling bad, he went out and found many civilians looking in horror in one direction, where seven or eight people who didn't seem to be good were slaughtering the guards.

These gangsters were obviously all enhanced alien blood warriors. With a single knife, they cut the guards in two. When they hit the body, the guards' bones and tendons were broken. After a while, dozens of guards were slaughtered. Dissatisfied, he laughed and started slaughtering civilians.

  A large number of civilians fled in panic, and Lynn was also surrounded by them. The bandits chased after a while, and they seemed to have had enough fun. They turned back and ransacked the houses. The crowd soon split up and ran away.

  Lynn didn't know the specific situation either. He only knew that the entire Deep Rock City was in chaos. It seemed that someone was looting the city.

   As he ran, he found that the town was on fire, and the fire spread rapidly. He also encountered the bodies of guards from time to time on the road, as if all the troops in the city were dead, which made him more and more frightened.

The strength of the alien blood warrior has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Although he has magical powers, his body is still similar to that of ordinary people. If he is beaten by the alien blood warrior, he will be seriously injured. opponent.

   He just wanted to find a place to hide, and then prayed that the bandits would not find themselves and leave after the looting.

  Unfortunately, the less you want to happen, the more likely it is to happen. On the way to escape, he was unlucky enough to bump into a single bandit, and his heart almost stopped.

   As soon as the bandits found him, they strode closer and planned to kill him with a knife.

Lin En was almost frightened in place, but in the end, his survival instinct prevailed, and he urged the use of so-called spells with the idea of ​​​​fighting. He fell to his death directly in front of him.

   Killing a strong enemy with witchcraft for the first time, Lin En was shocked and excited.

But he was still awake. He knew that the enemy had never seen this kind of power before, and he held contempt. He was caught by surprise and was attacked by himself, so he did not inflate and delusional to stop all the bandits, but quickly changed direction. run away.

   But luck was too bad, and encountered a second lone bandit on the way. This time, Lynn had the experience, and he attacked first, using the advantage of the opponent's unknowing, to use witchcraft to kill a different-blooded bandit in one second, escaping.

   After running for a distance, he found the hiding place at this time and rested until now.

   "I don't know if my house is on fire. Fortunately, I brought the book out. I hope I don't encounter enemies again... I don't know when these thugs are satisfied to leave. It's better to hide here and wait for them to leave."

  Lin En's thoughts retreated from his memories, he lowered his voice and exhaled, and patted the book hidden in his chest with a worried expression on his face.

   Just then, a chaotic footstep sounded in the far side of the street.

  Lynn was immediately vigilant. He quietly probed and found that a dozen or so civilians were fleeing in panic. Each of them had several wounds cut by sharp weapons.

   Behind the group of civilians, a bandit held a short knife with a morbidly excited smile and followed the crowd casually. As long as someone ran slowly, he would slash directly on the civilians to stimulate the other party to speed up.

   He didn’t kill anyone, he just chased and tortured him, as if he was playing for fun.

   "Help! Help me!"

  A dozen civilians were forced to run, tired and in pain, and their faces were full of fear. They could only scream for help.

  Lynn hurriedly put himself against the wall, trying his best to indent into the shadow of the alleyway to reduce his presence.

   Soon, the group of civilians ran across the fork. The bandits who were chasing after him for fun didn't notice Lynn in the alley, and the old **** was still driving the crowd.

The sounds of    calls for help and screams gradually drifted away.

  Lynn breathed a sigh of relief, got up and left quietly along the alley.

  But after a few steps out, Lynn's footsteps slowed down as he heard the calls for help that were getting farther and farther away.

  's complexion changed, and heaven and man were at war.

   "If I continue to attack this time, I may be able to kill this villain. As long as I hide and use sorcery, even if I fail, I should not be discovered...

   No, it's still dangerous! People didn't find me, don't go out to cause trouble, these hunted people live in the same city as me, but I don't know any of them, why risk it for strangers..."

  Lynn was hesitant and tangled in his heart, and reason told him over and over again that he should not take risks and that running is the best policy.

   But I don't know why, it's just that ghosts and gods can't move forward.

   Possessing such power... Can you just look at it like this?

   One second seemed to extend tenfold and a hundredfold, and Lynn didn't know how long he hesitated, but his eyes gradually became firm.

   "I have successfully killed two gangsters before, this time I'll be able to do it too!"

  Lin En was determined to turn around and save people.

   But when he regained his senses, he realized that the cry for help had disappeared.

  It was quiet outside the alley, only the light from the burning street slanted on the ground at the entrance of the alley, reflecting the jumping light and shadow.

   I hesitated for too long, they have gone far, is it too late...

  Lin En froze in place, the courage that he finally mustered seemed to be drained.

   It’s one thing to make up your mind to ambush and attack, but it’s another thing to take the initiative to catch up… This shouldn’t be within my ability, right?

  Lynn couldn't tell if it was a loss or a fluke.

   He walked slowly to the entrance of the alley, wanting to take a last look at the direction they were leaving.

   But the head hasn't come out yet

   Unprepared, a face suddenly sticks out from the wall, with fresh blood spots on his face, facing him, less than two palms apart, occupying all of Lynn's sight!

   This face is the gangster who just passed by, staring straight at him with a sick smile.

   "There's another one hidden here~"

  Lynn almost went into cardiac arrest.

   He panicked and retreated, not saying anything about the land in front of him, and a dozen or so roots stimulated him to shoot.

  Clap clap —

The    earth thorn missed and hit the opposite house, like a powerful arrow, blasting bricks.

   The gangster shrank to dodge, then stepped out, blocking the entrance of the alley, and looked at Lynn in amazement.

   "What ability is this?"

   He didn't expect this kind of weird attack, but fortunately, he reacted quickly enough to avoid it urgently, and he had lingering fears.

   He discovered Lynn early, thinking that he was just a civilian hiding in the shadows and didn't dare to speak out. He pretended not to see it, and just planned to kill a carbine and give despair when others thought they had escaped. For him, it was full of fun.

   So he stopped torturing the previous "plaything", cut all the melons and vegetables to kill, and then quietly returned to this alley, ready to surprise this "new plaything" who was hiding in terror.

   I didn't expect that this was not an ordinary person who could only beg for mercy, but he actually possessed some kind of ability that he couldn't understand.

   The gangster was stunned for a while, and found that Lynn had turned around and ran out for a distance. He suddenly regained his senses, became curious, and immediately followed.

  tap-tap-

  The two ran after each other in the alley.

   The gap in physical fitness is too large, and the distance is quickly closing.

  Lynn couldn't care about the consumption, so he used witchcraft one after another, and the ground kept turning into earth thorns, stone pillars, and earth walls, desperately blocking it.

   But there were no surprises in the sneak attack, and the lethality was not strong. All these attacks were resolved by the bandits who were on guard, and there was no danger.

   Even if you can stop the enemy's footsteps, you can't make up for the difference in speed.

   Once approached by alien blood warriors... Lynn felt that he could think of a dignified way to die in advance.

   With the release of earth thorns and earth walls without money, Lynn only felt that his brain was stabbed by hundreds of needles, and the sting was extremely painful. Venus began to appear in his vision, and it gradually became blurred.

   "It's over, I can't hold it anymore!"

  Lin En was so anxious and panicked that he could only stare wide-eyed as the bandit smashed into the dirt wall, and his big calloused hands grabbed towards his face, unavoidable.

   At this moment, time seemed to slow down, and a series of thoughts flashed in Lynn's mind. There seemed to be regrets and unwillingness. In the end, everything turned into fear, leaving his mind blank.

   But at this moment, the gangster who had already bullied him suddenly changed his face with a grinning smile, and suddenly withdrew the big hand that was grabbing at Lynn, and slashed towards the sky with a short knife in both hands.

   "How come back..."

  Lin En hadn't reacted yet when suddenly a strong and unfamiliar figure smashed into the sky, bringing a thunderous sword light.

  Poof!

   The gangster who chased him to nowhere a second ago was instantly cut off in two.

   Like a bag full of blood burst open, scarlet radiates in a fan shape, the scene is extremely tragic!

  Lin En stared blankly at the back of Zhou Jing who fell from the sky, his emotions were agitated, and he was speechless for a while.

   Zhou Jing threw off the blood beads on the knife, turned his head to look at Lin En, and raised his eyebrows: "Don't be afraid, I'm a good person."

   As soon as he finished speaking, Lin En rolled his eyes, his body softened, and he fainted directly to the ground.

   "Wait, is it so shameless?"

   Zhou Jing was startled, he quickly stepped forward to support Lin En, slapped him twice, and pinched him again, only to find that Lin En was so dizzy that he couldn't wake up.

   "It shouldn't be stunned, it's probably because of a kidney overdraft."

   Zhou Jing's expression twitched.

   Originally, there were a lot of questions I wanted to ask this mysterious person who seemed to be a different power system, but when he saw this, he could only swallow it temporarily.

   "I still want to see this person's attributes."

   Zhou Jing had no choice, he opened the panel and directly started the detection.

  [Attribute: Physical 7, Resistance 9, Perception 10, Spirit 18, Energy 20]

   "The spirit is several times higher than mine, and I'm dizzy when I say it, I'm afraid it's not a decoration."

   Zhou Jing slandered.

The distribution of attributes like   , and the battle performance just now, this is obviously a power system different from the alien warrior, like the mage side.

  ‘This might be a hidden power system, but I didn’t expect it to exist! ’

   Zhou Jing's eyes lit up.

   happened to be involved in this turmoil in Deep Rock City, and I was able to discover the new power system I had been looking for... Can this happen to me? Good luck!

   Of course, the possibility that this person is an alien lifeform cannot be ruled out.

   Just thinking of the scene where this person was chased and fled by the first-time alien blood enhancer, Zhou Jing had a hard time thinking about that.

  —Lifeforms from other planes wouldn’t be so good... should they?

   "I can only wait for him to wake up and then use words to test it. I can't just slash it now and see if it can trigger the prompt of the alien plane..."

   Zhou Jing shook his head, and his big hands began to touch this man.

  Although the family is not dead yet, but when they are fainted, they just search the body. Touching the corpse is a necessary skill for walking.

   After a few seconds, he moved and felt a thin thing in the man's chest.

   reached into his arms and pulled out the thing. It was a book, badly worn and half torn off.

   Zhou Jing opened the page to read and was shocked.

   "The knowledge of witchcraft is actually recorded?"

   There is a power system on the spell side in this world, but the world has never known it?

   He glanced at it and found that the "witchcraft" recorded in this book seemed to have many differences from the spell system of the main world in his impression.

   This book does not record spells, but how to obtain magical powers and how to exercise. Strictly speaking, this seems to be something like a "beginner's manual".

   The way to obtain the power of witchcraft is not to practice or meditate, but to integrate something called "the spirit of nature" in order to give oneself the power of witchcraft and release the spiritual power.

The fusion of natural spirits is different, which determines the elemental attributes of its own magic power. It does not require knowledge such as spells and magic circuits. It only needs to infiltrate the material of the same element with the external spiritual power, and then the target material can be completed. A series of changes such as shaping and shaping to achieve spell-like effects—in the book, this behavior is called "intelligence", which is the most fundamental ability of wizards.

"This kind of witchcraft feels different from the various branches on the magic side of the main world, it's more like some kind of original version... By the way, who discovered this system? Well, this book doesn't have the author's name, I don't know if it is Written by this fainted guy, it doesn't feel like it. There is a small part missing at the back, and I don't know what the content is."

   Zhou Jing frowned slightly, thoughts flying around.

  Speaking of which, does this system exist in the alien world itself, or is it brought in by alien lifeforms? If it is the former, why is there only the extraordinary existence of alien blood warriors in the history of the tribal era to the Terra Empire, but there is no mention of witchcraft at all?

  In the common sense of the aborigines in the alien world, there is only the path of alien blood enhancement.

   Could it be that these "wizards" are all hidden in the world and never reveal their existence? Or have no secrets?

  Roman's figure suddenly appeared in Zhou Jing's mind.

  I'm a big...Bah, Bill's big brother, shouldn't he be a wizard?

   At this moment, he suddenly noticed that there was a message flashing on the panel.

  [You trigger the achievement [Secret of Witchcraft]! ]

  [You get 2000 astral points! [Quality Enhancement - Magic (Small)]! [Quality Enhancement - Natural Affinity (Small)]]

   "Just being exposed to sorcery can trigger achievements... In this world, the power of sorcery is not known to outsiders, so so-called wizards should be extremely rare."

   Zhou Jing pondered for a while, and put the scrap book into his arms without blushing or panting.

  For the time being!

   "Now is not the time to study. After solving the enemy and then scrutinizing it, this person will always wake up anyway, and it's time to ask this personal experiencer."

   This book must not be missed, it may allow the astral apostles to obtain the second power system at present.

   And this insider can't be thrown here.

   Zhou Jing picked up Lin En and decided to go back to find his teammates and temporarily place the fainted guy in order to prevent him from burping and cutting off the clues.
