Chapter 588 The ghoul in the catacombs

The blood halo of Augustus first appeared in The entrance of the cemetery, and there is only one continuous shadow, which means that he has only been there once in 24 hours. However, Shade still could only see the silhouette of the priest entering the cemetery in the misty miasma, but did not see the silhouette of the priest reappear.

"Strange, did the priest jump over the railing and run into the mountains?"

Shade followed the priest's silhouette into the cemetery, not particularly worried about Evil Spirit. In theory, unless it is the 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 have resentment and become an Evil Spirit, it is only the power of a soul. Unreasonable The power of human resentment is stronger than the power of ring warlock risking perilous reading of ancient texts, touching ancient relics, and chasing crazy old gods. Although the ring warlock is an idealistic force, it is also very basic.

Because the priest had already obtained the location of the tomb from Ms. Michelle of the "Blind House", he did not go to the tomb keeper to find it, but the target was clearly on the stone pavement between the tombstones Walking, and successfully found the tombstone that reads "Matilda Fox".

The tomb is located under a large leafy pine tree in the center of the cemetery, where the silhouette of the Augustus priest stayed for a long time. Shade was reluctant to spy on other people's privacy, but those overlapping scarlet halos undoubtedly pointed to Augustus Priest, who was sitting down and looking at the tombstone, what his mood was at that time.

"He failed to grab her hand when he was young, that's a lesson for me, must hold fast"

[But you don't seem to have enough hands. ]

Her voice suddenly appeared, almost scaring the somewhat sentimental Shade.

"Don't underestimate me too much. Also, is this fog sure?"

These white fogs that spread from the mountains and forests are actually bigger than Tobesko because of industrial development And the smog created is even more exaggerated. Not only was the vapor heavy, but the visibility in the fog was worse than Shade thought.

[At least for now. ]

Shade opened his mouth and took a deep breath, sucking a small amount of mist into his lungs, because he sucked a little too hard, he couldn't help coughing:
"What about now?"

[No problem. ]

Shade nods. He bent down and placed the handful of wilted white chrysanthemums in front of the tomb. He then prepared to continue searching for the whereabouts of Augustpriest.

His eyes swept all around, and there was a soul with a transparent body floating in the fog not far away, but it was restricted by the corpse and could not stay away. This harmless soul is left alone and will soon leave, so Shade ignores it.

After the priest's silhouette got up from the ground, he didn't go back along the original road, but walked to the small church in the center of the cemetery, presumably wanting to ask about the daily management of the tomb .

But the priest failed to reach the church, Shade followed his silhouette from another path between the tombstones, and after returning to the slate road in the cemetery, before taking a few steps, the silhouette of Augustus priest, Actually made the action of being frightened and then defensive.

“What?”

Shade realizes that he may be getting close to the truth.

Augus priest, who was attacked, did not fight, but turned and ran towards the entrance of the catacombs farther away. The halo of red clearly depicts the silhouette of the priest when he escapes. I have to admit that although he is a little older, he is still very good.

"What attacked the priest?"

Shade didn't follow directly, but looked left and right, went back to the tombstones again, and found the float he just saw the soul.

His eyes stopped on a tombstone that read "Joel Pon", and the cause of death written on the tombstone was that he died of heart disease at the age of 47.

Mr. Joel Penn's soul is extraordinarily transparent, and his expression is relatively peaceful. Although I don't know why it stayed, this kind of soul is harmless.

"Sir, may I ask, did you see anything strange around here yesterday afternoon?"

Shade walked over and asked very politely. There was no who in the cemetery in the afternoon, plus the fog in the mountains, so Shade didn't have to worry about being seen talking to "air".

The soul still retains basic rationality, but just glanced at Shade, expressionless and did not speak.

Shade raised his fingers, his expression became more serious, and the moonlight appeared on his fingertips:
"Sir, did you see anything strange yesterday afternoon?"

It seems A little afraid of the moonlight in Shade's hand, Mr. Pon's soul said:
"Lend me your body for a day, let me experience a healthy life again, and I will tell you."

A threatening expression appeared on Shade's face, the chain in the sleeve shot towards the soul's forehead, but stopped abruptly at a distance of only a pinky finger away from the soul, and the sharp metal of the tail section of the chain pointed to it:
"You, Say."

The terrifying and filth of 【Chains of Sin】, even the living can clearly feel, even more how is a soul. Mr. Pon was obviously frightened, he turned and wanted to run, but he was bound by his underground corpse, so he couldn't run away:

"I know! Yesterday afternoon, there was an Old man in a priest robe. Mister came here before, and then met a monster who jumped out of the grass. It looked like a humanoid, with rotting brown flesh all over the body, and the head was strangely like a triangular pyramid, and it was lying on the ground. Oh, that What a terrifying thing! Just looking at it makes me feel like my soul is being shaken."

"Ghouls?"

Shade frowned, it was a ring warlock. The lowest undead creatures learned in grades are even lower than skeletons. The racial upper and lower limits of this low-level undead creature are very different. If Augustus first encounters a very powerful ghoul, he may not be able to deal with it.

"But how can there be ghouls in public cemeteries? And, would August Priest, who was proficient in Death Power, get killed because of a ghoul?"

Shade Say goodbye to the soul frightened by him, and continue to follow in the footsteps of Augustus priest. Augustus priest went straight to the catacombs, but the door to the underground was locked, so the priest's silhouette without the slightest hesitation broke the lock.

The tomb keeper has replaced the door lock, and now the door lock in front of Shade is new. He opened the new lock and entered the catacomb area, which was colder than the ground, although there was no fog.

Although Shade's eyes can see in the dark after the adventure of [Darkness Domain], but this vision is not clear, so he still lights up the moonlight on his fingers. Of course, there are also gas pipes in the catacombs and quaint gas lamps on the walls. But Shade didn't want the old tomb guard here to be frightened when he saw the gas meter that manages the gas pipe in the tomb turning suddenly.

The underground air was particularly dreary and had a rotten smell. The silhouette, who followed the priest while fighting and retreating, came all the way to the deepest part of the tomb area. Judging from the metal plaque hanging at the corner of the passage, there were the earliest underground tombs in the tomb area that were excavated more than 30 years ago.

The priest did not enter any of the tombs, but retreated to the wall where the unlit kerosene lamp hung at the end of the passage. Then, the red halo that Shade followed all the way disappeared.

"en? The effect of [Echo of Blood] is over?"

Shade turned around and looked towards him. The silhouettes with clear tracks still existed, but the last silhouette did disappear. under this wall.

"Hidden walls? There are two exits of the [Space Labyrinth] in Fort Midhill?"

The narrow tomb channel spurted hot steam, flashing four-color auras The rune floats on the ring of fate. The rays of light of [Space-Time] illuminated the unremarkable dirt wall in front of me, but nothing happened.

However, something seemed to reflect on the ground illuminated by the aura. Shade bent over to pick it up and found it was a brass pendant with a notched ring. The brass-colored upper notch ring is the holy emblem of the righteous god [Mr. Dawn]. This pendant should be left here by Augustus priest. Shade has seen him wearing this jewelry.

"It doesn't seem to be in the wrong place, but why did it disappear? Is there a mechanism? Or, does it require a secret word to open this wall? Or, Priest can actually [pass through the wall] [soil tour] and so on. magic?"

Shade narrowed his eyes, making the last silhouette left by the priest into a continuous motion. The silhouette retreated in front of the earth wall and turned her back to the earth wall to make a movement similar to Mystic Art's spellcasting. Then, the priest disappeared abruptly, and the last action was still casting a spell, as if the priest was wiped off the world directly by a huge eraser.

"What the hell happened? Are there any traces of elements?"

[Outlander, you need to put your hand on the wall to get something. ]

Shade turned and looked towards the direction he came from. There was no light or shadow in the deep tomb, but he also heard footsteps.

It was obviously not the sound of human footsteps, but like an animal on all fours, running at high speed. The sound came from the tomb next door, and Shade's action just now seemed to wake up what was dormant here.

As the series of footsteps got closer, Shade's right hand drew a cross in the air, making the cross stop in front of him.

Under the light of the crisscross light, in the distant tomb passage, the whole body was covered with pieces of rotting flesh, with both hands and feet on the ground, the head was swollen, the terrifying monster with yellow teeth turned out, finally appeared. .

"Sure enough, it's a ghoul."

Because of the [unfortunate long hair], Shade will be more strongly attracted to Evil Spirit or undead creatures in the next period of time. This is probably the reason why the grave keeper here was not attacked when dealing with the damaged door lock, but Shade was attacked when he came.

"It attacked Augustus priest yesterday?"

Thinking in his mind, Shade kicked the crossed moonlight that was standing in the air forward.

The tomb passage in the catacombs is already narrow, and Shade's hand-drawn arcs almost blocked the entire passage. But when the monster coming from a distance met the crossed moonlight, it jumped suddenly and came over from the crossed gap.

"So agile?"

It was just a few ups and downs, and the terrifying monster with the smell of corpse all over his body had already rushed in front of Shade. Not only the horror of its own appearance, but when seeing it at close range, a sense of fear without reason appeared directly in Shade's heart, which is the innate talent of the undead.

But for Shade, who once faced the Dread Fortress, this fear didn't have a big impact.

First, he threw away a moonlight, making the agile ghoul have to dodge, and then Shade pointed his finger forward:
"Silver Moon!"

The burst of moonlight appeared in In the gloomy tomb passage, the moonlight itself has a sacred attribute, and it has an extraordinary killing effect on undead creatures.

Sure enough, in the rays of light of holy silver and even close to pure white, the ghoul with black smoke all over his body quickly retreated. The creature's vocal organs were completely damaged, so it was unable to express its anger and fear by screaming. But this silence was even more terrifying.

"Fei Lian."

I wanted to use [Felian Anna's Light of Demoness] to melt the opponent's limbs, but the closer this Mystic Art is, the greater the formidable power. And Shade didn't want to get near that thing at all.

"Ragle's Leap."

He had the casting materials ready long before he entered the catacombs, so he moved forward before the moonlight at his fingertips receded. Taking a step, he appeared behind the retreating ghoul.

The moonlight in his hand was getting closer and closer to the terrifying thing, which seemed to inspire the other's ferocity. He turned sharply and opened his rotten mouth at Shade, and then rushed towards Shade with the terrifying wound that was emitting black smoke all over his body.
