The Rise of the Cemetery

Chapter 0225 Mysterious visitor

The mountain forest under the wind blowing at night looks especially cold.

The villagers of Big Rock Village rarely linger in the dead silence of the terrifying Whispering Forest after nightfall. It is said that many never-before-seen magical creatures will appear in the Whispering Forest at night.

The Whispering Forest at this time is eerie. Standing at the edge of the forest, you can always hear some strange sounds of flapping wings, but if you search carefully, you can't find any living things. As a result, according to word of mouth, no hunter dared to hunt at night anymore.

However, at this moment, on a tall tree at the edge of the forest, a pair of red eyes lit up among the lush branches and leaves, silently watching the small village that was gradually becoming quieter.

A bat whose shape is much larger than the normal kind is hanging upside down on a thick branch, its small thin mouth is constantly opening and closing, and inexplicable vibration ripples spread and oscillate in the woodland, and slowly spread to the far end. And at the edge of another woodland half a mile away, there is also a similar thing doing the same thing. As a result, the entire forest entrance facing Dayan Village was completely blocked by these guys, but they used methods that ordinary people could not understand and detect.

In addition to these super sentinels hanging high on the treetops, the many shadows inside the woodland are also extremely active, and there are always some unknown things wriggling and peeping in the shadows. Every now and then, there will be a dark cloud floating in the sky, but the cloud is too low, almost flying against the forest tops. If you look closely, you will find that this so-called dark cloud is purely a cluster of ghosts gathered together.

There will be a special guy as the leader in each ghost cluster, and this leader is usually a banshee with a nearly solidified shape, wearing a transparent evening dress, and a beautiful appearance. Only the banshees of a higher class can suppress the urge of these noisy people to howl and complete this silent patrol.

According to Li Xun's adjustments before he left, the stone tower was apparently handed over to his disciple Jack for management, and the safety of the tower was mainly taken care of by the hellfire constantly patrolling outside the tower. But in fact, Eternal Night City did not relax the monitoring of its surroundings, so Li Xun even called the butcher here.

In terms of the level and strength of security protection, Eternal Night City is even higher than Undercity and Sleeping Land. Everything is because this is the easiest place to attract enemies.

Eternal Night City is the first cemetery city established by Li Xun, and it is also a helpless move of the temporary chapter, so it has many deficiencies inherently. The lack of strategic depth alone is enough to sentence the city to death. After Li Xun built several cemetery cities one after another, he even had the urge to destroy Eternal Night City. After all, this is the easiest place for the enemy to catch his sore feet.

It's just that Li Xun, who was too petty, was lucky in the end, so after repeated delays, Eternal Night City became the current tasteless city, and it also became a cemetery city with the strictest security.

Due to the existence of many undead, the birds and beasts in the nearby mountains and forests have long since disappeared, making this place a night pasture for Eternal Night City. During the day, all the undead would shrink into the black mist near Evernight City, and only when night fell would the cordon be pushed to the edge of the woodland.

But tonight is not destined to be a quiet night.

Under the hazy moonlight, a thin and treacherous figure slowly stepped into the forest. Without any cover, he walked steadily and gracefully in the middle of the woodland with overgrown branches and shrubs, as if he was walking on the flat and familiar flower path at home, without any hindrance.

What's even more weird is that he happened to pass under the big tree where the Bat Sentinel lived, but he didn't disturb it. The creepy red eyes of the bats that were patrolling uninterruptedly swept across the mysterious man calmly, but they passed by as if they hadn't seen it at all. Even the sonar ripples from the mouth could not reflect the mysterious man at all.

The mysterious man even looked up at the Bat Sentinel when he passed the big tree.

The same is true for the three-dimensional warning line at the back. Many different types of undead creatures seem to be selectively blind, allowing this guy to roam leisurely in his own territory.

Passing through the forest for nearly 3 miles, the mysterious man hesitated for a moment, paused slightly, and stopped walking towards Eternal Night City, and turned to another direction. There is a stone tower in that direction. It is said that there is the shelter that the little mage built for himself, so you might as well take a look there first.

A few miles of mountain road came in a blink of an eye. The mysterious man came out of the forest, and the first thing he saw was the flame stone giant that Thor, the innkeeper, had repeatedly boasted about. Under the quiet night, a 3-story stone tower stands quietly in the middle of the open space. Bright light shines through the narrow windows on the second floor, illuminating a small open space, and one can vaguely feel a slight wave of spells inside. And the flame stone giant was standing silently in front of the tower.

The flames steaming around the stone giant were a miraculous emerald green, without the crackling sound of ordinary flames burning, but giving people a coldness that would freeze even the soul. In the perception of the mysterious person, this strange creature has an extremely powerful will, and its only weakness is probably the unusual and strange stone heart in the middle of its chest.

The Hellfire, which was on guard, trembled suddenly, and turned to face the forest where the mysterious man was. A vast wave of spiritual waves surged towards this place. If the sonar ripples of the Bat-Sentinel are regarded as a well-planned and calm water surface, then the spiritual perception of Hellfire is like a ten-foot giant wave hitting the head, directly sweeping the fan-shaped area in front of it.

The spiritual tide surged, but there was no response as expected, and the mysterious person had disappeared in place. Hellfire was also a little confused for a moment. With its simple and limited wisdom, it could detect that something here had briefly touched its own spirit and penetrated its body, but why the mental shock wave could not sense anything. Something different, this... this is beyond its comprehension.

The spirit power of Hellfire continued to beat, and several vampires and ghost killers hidden in the nearby forests responded to their orders. They searched closely along the direction indicated by it, but still found nothing. There were no traces of any living creatures passing by in the woodland, nor was there any breath of living creatures, so the latent team entered a concealed state again, and the hellfire returned to its original place, but the spiritual power had slowly shrouded it. Around the entire stone tower.

At this moment, the mysterious man is standing on the small roof on the second floor of the stone tower, watching with great interest the many undead creatures, under the command of the big man, like a well-disciplined and orderly army, quickly searching, investigating and returning to the latent state . The whole process was silent but efficient, and did not disturb the people in the tower, showing the extremely high quality of these undead. But what moved him the most was that during the whole process, even he couldn't detect how the big man drove these undead to complete such complicated tactical actions.

Of course, this time his sight deliberately avoided the place where the hellfire was. As long as his eyes full of spiritual power don't fall on Hellfire's huge body, even if he is standing next to Hellfire, that big man won't even think about noticing it.

When everything outside the tower returned to its original state, the mysterious man began to turn his attention to the inside of the stone tower. There are only 3 breaths of life in the tower, one is on the first floor, obviously an ordinary person, two are on the second floor, one is an ordinary person, and the other has faint spell fluctuations.

Without any hesitation, the mysterious man walked into the stone pagoda with his hands behind his back and his head held high in a leisurely manner.

This is a reception room, with simple tables, chairs and sofas. From the quality point of view, it belongs to the old and simple style that the country nobles love. I wonder why the mages here choose such vulgar things? At this time, there was no one in the room, and the bright and clear moonlight cast on a corner of the room through the narrow window sill, reflecting a hazy interior.

It was the room next door that emitted the magical radiance. Even without looking with the naked eye, the mysterious man knew everything in the entire stone tower like the back of his hand. Under his pervasive mental power detection, no corner can escape his perception. After all, this stone tower did not add any magic protection, it was just a simple residence for the mage's daily life, so it could not stop the conscious exploration of outsiders at all.

The next moment, the mysterious man appeared in the next room. Beside the desk in the corner of the room, Jack, who has become increasingly calm, is flipping through a thick magic book, and from time to time he gestures in the air with his hands, and the simple magic runes inspired appear in the air for a short time, and soon disintegrate into dots Firefly. Obviously he was trying to figure out a spell that he hadn't mastered yet. On the opposite side of the desk, a servant boy of similar age was leaning against the desk and quietly dozing off, as if he might fall asleep at any time.

The mysterious man stood quietly by the table for a moment, without Jack noticing, he saw through his body, but avoided his spiritual world. Because in his perception, this little guy who has just stepped into the ranks of mages actually maintains a faint spiritual connection with the big guy outside the tower, and if he wants to test his spiritual world, he will inevitably startle the big guy outside. This made the mysterious strong man hesitate for a moment.

The mysterious man, who had planned for a long time, didn't want to scare the snake so early, so he turned around and came to Li Xun's bedroom. In this simple room, the mysterious man sensed the strongest aura of the target. It seems that this is the place where the other party often stays.

The mysterious man stood in front of the bed, brushed off his hood to reveal his old face, it was the white-haired old man who just moved into Dayan Village today.

Without yelling or making gestures, without preparing the materials for the spell, the white-haired old man just made a few gestures and silently completed a spell. The air in the room froze almost instantly, and colored light gradually overflowed from the dim and indistinguishable shadows. Flowing color spots gathered from all directions in the room, and gradually merged into a vague human figure on the wooden bed. From the appearance, It was seven or eight points similar to Li Xun.

The white-haired old man just looked at it simply, and a strange purple eyeball had already appeared in the void, and quietly drilled into the body of this fuzzy human figure. Then the old man began to close his eyes and adjust his breath, as if he was sensing something silently.
