The knight in the abyss

Chapter 762 The Bad Omen
As Brutal had promised, he remained awake during the battle, and ran back as soon as he heard Lancelot's call, and was dragged onto his horse by the latter.At the same time, little Isa also flew back towards the human knight, turned into a bat again in a puff of smoke, and hung on Lancelot's cloak.

"Is everyone okay?" Lancelot quickly scanned his companions to confirm that everyone's condition is normal, "Let's get out of this ghostly place..."

In the blurred fog in the distance, there were still black shadows emerging from the ground. Fortunately, the elf priest's divine power burst cleared a large open space, allowing everyone's mounts to have the space needed to start speeding.Lancelot took the lead and stood at the front, holding half of the sword Frost Slash in his hand. The turquoise sword glow on the blade made the attack distance exceed the length of the weapon itself. Whenever he slashed with his sword, someone who was still counting The zombies or skeletons ten feet away were cut in half, and even if they could manage to put themselves back together later, everyone must have run away long ago.

Behind Lancelot, Brutal kept throwing his magic warhammer—the flyback enchantment attached to the warhammer allowed him to be so unscrupulous.The dwarves prefer those enemies with only skeletons, because the visual effect when they are hit by the hammer is very pleasing to the eye. Anyone who participates in this activity can experience the pleasure of destruction. Bluto even had an inappropriate idea. Maybe it would be a good idea to open a dead hunting ground in Twinbridge, the demons would love what he was doing now.

Behind the two, Alamir and Tanya separated to the left and right, and Karalin followed closely behind. The four of them formed a tight diamond-shaped formation, and the elf priest and half-elf curse swordsman cleaned up those who slipped through the net. fish.As a priest in the field of life, Alamir actually has very good combat skills, especially in defense, so he usually stands on the left side of the team, where the elves with shields in their left hands can better display themselves The advantages.

After cutting down dozens of disgusting-looking enemies in a row, the partners finally rushed out of the mass grave-like hillside.The ignited living corpse had disappeared behind the thick fog, but the shrill screams were still lingering in their ears.After riding forward for a while, everyone returned to the original dirt road. Lancelow gradually slowed down the speed of the horse, and finally stopped at a fork in the road.

"It should be safe here." The human knight patted Brutal, and the two jumped off the horse one after another, "Rest here for a while, let the horse catch its breath, and I have to talk to this guy alone... ..."

The companions got off their horses one after another, watching the human knight lead Nightmare away in a strange way, and the figure disappeared behind a small hillside by the road.

"Why is he here?" Brutal asked puzzled, "Looking at that posture, why does it feel like he's going to beat up the big black horse?"

"It seems to me that during the battle just now, that horse seemed to have a mind of its own..." Aramir shrugged, "Speaking of which, what happened just now? We just escaped from a trap gone?"

"Don't doubt it, that's the truth." The half-elf took out a carrot from nowhere and stuffed it into the mouth of his mount, "I bet, if we die there, the villagers will pick up our equipment Go, and the corpse becomes part of the trap, standing up again the next time the victim passes by. I would give this trick a seven out of ten. It's a clever design, but it's a pity that I encountered a high-level magic spellcaster And monsters like Lancelot..."

"I can't be considered a high-ranking priest." Alamiel shook his head. "If it is really a high-ranking priest, it will definitely release a mighty fire from the heavens on the spot, and burn that evil and depraved village to nothing."

"I like this idea." Brutal tore off a hand bone that had been grabbing his ankle just now, and threw it into the grass on the side of the road, "I hope my brother has the same idea... er, that's what?"

Everyone looked in the direction of Brutal's finger, and saw an old wooden gallows standing there, creaking in a sudden cold wind.Everyone was sure that there was absolutely no such thing on the side of the road just now, and the broken rope on the gallows was fluttering back and forth in the wind, as if the stall owner waiting for customers was greeting them.

On the opposite side of the gallows, there is another road sign, showing that the fork road to the east leads to the town of Chadgori, Gray Pine Lake and Fort Derek, and to the southeast will reach Mount Veriki.

"Have you rested yet? Let's continue..." Lancelot came out from behind the hillside, and the big black horse followed behind with his head drooping. "Well, what's wrong with you?"

"Big Brother..." Brutal's teeth seemed to be shaking, "You...look...is that...me?"

"What?" Lancelot looked confused, "What are you talking about?"

"The gallows...the corpse on the gallows...it looks like me...or daddy...actually it's daddy, right..."

"But there's nothing on it?"

"No... there is..."

Lancelot looked at the empty gallows, then at the frightened dwarf, his brows gradually wrinkled, and suddenly he reached out and slapped the opponent hard on the back, the dwarf jumped up in fright, and hugged him directly. Clinging to Nightmare's neck, the latter put it back on the ground in contempt.

"What are you doing?" Brutal's voice was full of tears, "My kidneys are going to scare you out!"

"Look again, is there anything on the gallows?"

"Ah? This... What's the situation... It was obvious just now..."

"It should be an engraving-type illusion." Karaline said, "The first person who sees it will trigger the effect of engraving, and see his own image on the gallows. Since the spell has been triggered, we will not be able to look at it again." Any abnormality will be found. If a lonely traveler falls under this illusion, he might be frightened and go crazy..."

"Who the hell put that kind of thing here?!" Brutal cursed angrily, "What good does it do him if I'm crazy? Isn't this harming others and benefiting oneself?"

"Maybe that's the purpose?"

The elf priest looked at the gallows thoughtfully, and made a special gesture.A dazzling beam of light shrouded the instrument of torture, and when the light dissipated, the gallows disappeared.

"Karalin and I have prepared spells to remove the curse, and my advanced restoration spell can even remove some more powerful negative effects. If you feel anything strange, you must speak up immediately. If you think other people's situation is wrong It's the same." Alamir said to his companions with a serious expression, "Most illusions and curses can destroy the mind, making the subject unaware that they are affected, but as long as the people around pay attention, they will definitely be able to Detect abnormalities in time."
