Chapter 122 Ghost City Lich
In Hunluo Canyon, the choice of camping site at night is very important.

"The old man said that you can't choose soft land. Skeletons may crawl out at any time. You can't choose caves. If the entrance of the cave is blocked, you won't be able to run away. You can't choose places with water, maybe there are hidden monsters in the water. What kind of monster are you looking at?" This is the senior Bi Wugong, who learned that they were passing through the Hunluo Canyon and specially taught it to Tucker Hogan, so he took it out and used it now.

"It's best to be on a tree. Trees are living plants with well-developed root systems. Where there are trees growing, there are generally no undead." But there seems to be no trees in the canyon.Tucker Hogan searched for a long time, and saw a few large flat rocks, surrounded by sand and gravel, the land was hard and dry: "From the perspective of the vicinity, this place is the best, with a wide view and a flat river. I think it will be here tonight. Let's camp here."

Low-level undead creatures are characterized by being slow and winning by numbers, but they don't know how to be afraid.What humans are most afraid of is being trapped in a corner by countless undead, with nowhere to escape, and finally being exhausted to death.Alan Pedilla carefully observed that this was a flat open land, and there was nothing to hide around. He nodded in agreement and arranged the order of duty, with two people keeping watch each time.

The night is cold and there are only a few stars. Under the low cloud, the whole Hunluo Canyon is like a giant sleeping monster. Everything is quiet. Iman and Teslinde are sitting on a big rock. This kind of mysterious place, Not even a mosquito at night.

"What time is it?" Teslinde was holding a cigarette butt, blinking in the night, and he was about to finish smoking, but he was reluctant to throw it away.

The habit of smoking is said to have existed in ancient times.It is also difficult to verify who invented it. Some scholars have verified that smoking, like martial arts, alchemy, and art, appeared together with humans in the Three Kingdoms of Heaven. It is also an inherent habit of ancient humans and has been passed down from generation to generation.

Yiman looked at the sky: "It should be almost midnight."

"I have a bad feeling. Although there is no danger, it seems that something is going to happen." Teslinde looked at the dark mountains in the distance, thinking.

Yiman stood up and stretched his waist. Suddenly, in the empty canyon, a bell rang, one after another, beating unhurriedly.

The sound of the bell hit people's hearts, and the four people who were asleep were also awakened, and they opened their eyes one after another: "What happened. Where did the bell come from?"

A few people stood on the rock, looking at the depths of the canyon, and were stunned.A burst of colorful mist, mixed with figures, houses, trees and other broken images of various colors, surged like the waves of the sea, engulfing several people in an instant.

The mist is like a huge picture scroll, stretched out, grotesque and grotesque, containing thousands of things.

The scenery in front of them was convenient, and several people found that they were already in a town.This is a lively street with shops lined on both sides. The tavern guys are warmly entertaining the guests. winking.There are people coming and going on the street, bustling.Vendors on the street sell vegetables and fruits, rouge powder, toys and groceries, etc.

The cigarette butt Teslinde was dangling fell to the ground, Jason Yager rubbed his eyes, and suddenly said: "Haha, I must be dreaming, girls in Yingchun Tower, here I come."

Alan Pedilla grabbed him and slammed his head hard: "Dream your big head, we have encountered a ghost market."

There are legends of ghost markets in many places on the mainland. Adventurers who spend the night in the wilderness wake up, and their companions are gone. They are alone in the middle of the bustling market, surrounded by hideous ghosts doing business.In the ghost market, don’t buy anything you encounter. Maybe what you buy will become the head of your companion the next day.

Entering the Hunluo Canyon, everyone was already mentally prepared to encounter a ghost city, but they did not expect to encounter it.

Jason Yager covered his head and said in surprise: "It really hurts, it doesn't look like a dream." He looked around suspiciously: "Is this a ghost market? It doesn't look like it!"

Counting a few people, none of them are missing, it is indeed different from the legend.A few people walked carefully in the ghost market, and found nothing unusual. It is unimaginable to enter the time with humans.Alan Pedilla whispered: "Have you noticed anything unusual?"

Christie frowned and said, "It's not the same. The ghosts around are solid and strong. They should have been cultivated for more than a thousand years. But every ghost is joy from the heart, no worries, no worries, and they are very close to each other. Harmony, this is so unusual. How strange, when did ghosts become so friendly?"

Alan Pedilla nodded: "It's weird. The more different it is, the more everyone should pay attention to it. Don't... Hey, what are you doing?" A young girl in Yingchun Tower winked, Jia Xeniage was immediately confused.Going straight to the Yingchun Building, Teslinde grabbed him with quick hands and eyes, but it seemed like he was caught in the void, and he didn't touch anything.

"Too bad, he was fascinated by ghosts." A few people followed behind, seeing Jason Yager enter the Yingchun Building, the floor changed and became a gambling house.

"Little brother, the ghost market has stolen the name of your casino!" Teslinde said, and Iman raised his head, and saw the signboard saying: Silver Hook Casino.

"The fat man told me that the Silver Hook Gambling House has an allusion in ancient times. It was the Royal Casino in Talian Lido, the capital of the Iberian Dynasty more than 1000 years ago." Alan Pedilla stood at the door of the gambling house and heard the sound coming from inside He immediately hesitated, the Yingchun Building has disappeared, Jason Yager must not be in the casino, and now his life and death are uncertain, so I don't know how to find it.

In the restaurant next to it, there was a stream of guests, and the sound of the chef cooking came out, accompanied by a burst of aroma: "No, cover your nose quickly." But it was too late, Tucker Hogan had already been attracted, his eyes were straight ran to the hotel.

"Oops, where did the little brother go?" Teslinde suddenly realized that Yiman had disappeared.The Silver Hook Gambling House on the side has been turned into a teahouse.

Yiman entered the gambling house, but he came in when he was abnormally sober, and something in his heart was calling him.He had a hunch that here, the secret of the ghost city could be discovered.

The interior of the casino is luxuriously decorated, with a kind of royal majesty, and the gamblers are dressed very gorgeously, and they are either rich or expensive at first glance.Yiman turned to the back of the stairs, and saw a downward staircase, which was dark, and the voice that inspired him came from it.Yiman walked in, it was a long tunnel, the walls were illuminated by torches, and at the end was a stone room, cold and damp, with occasional water seeping from the stones, Yiman concluded that it was underground.

This is the real world, not the ghost city just now. The basement is also illuminated by torches. There is a stone bed opposite, and a person sits cross-legged on it, wearing a black robe and covering his face with his head.The clothes were covered with thick dust, and Iman guessed that black might not be the true color of the robe.There was a long bone beside him, like the stone bed, covered with green moss.

"Sit." The cold voice sounded.Doesn't seem like a human voice.

Yiman saw a stone chair next to him, and wanted to sit on it. After looking carefully, it was covered with mud, so he gave up.He was thinking about the identity of the man in black.

"I hope it doesn't scare you." The human figure removed the cloth from his face, but he didn't succeed, the cloth broke when he touched it, revealing a crystal skull with white light shining from the eye sockets.

The crystal skull seems to be the only clean thing in this stone room.

The lich, Iman recognized, as he had expected.

The Lich spread out a roll of parchment in the void, looked at it for a long time, and suddenly asked, "Where did you come from?"

"South." The other party's question was very unnutritious, and Yiman's answer was even less nutritious.

What would the lich do to him?Is it going to be made into a zombie?Or do you want your own body?Yiman has already prepared the worst plan in his heart. There is a lot of holy water in his space, which is the last resort.

"Come from the south, very good." Unexpectedly, the Lich seemed very satisfied with Iman's answer, he folded the parchment, one by one, and said: "By the way, your holy water is useless to me, mine Bones are the best holy bone."

"Impossible." Iman immediately expressed doubts: "The sacred bones are only possible for high-level magicians who have practiced magic arts for many years in the temple. It is impossible for any magician to let their bones be used by a lich."

"What's impossible?" The Lich stood up, his bones creaking.The robe on his body has been broken for a long time, exposing the crystal skeleton inside, which must be the holy bone, Iman guessed like this, at least there is no trace of dust on it.The Lich turned a cross devoutly on his chest: "I was a priest in the temple during my lifetime, and even now, I still maintain a pious belief."

A lich with a devout faith?Iman feels that the world is full of irony.

The lich stared at Yiman and said: "Old Centipede Bi said that you are coming, I have been waiting for you for a long time."

"Are you friends with Senior Bi?" A sorcerer and a lich both have the word "shaman", but there should be no intersection.

"That's right." The Lich nodded and said, this action caused most of the cloth strips hanging on him to scatter, and Yiman guessed that this man must have been a warrior in life, with thick bones and wide joints: "We are all martyrs." The candidates for the Mountain Hermit Society still have to stay in the world of mortals because there are still concerns in the world, but now that you are here, my concerns may be gone, and I will be able to formally join the Sacrificial Mountain Hermit Society soon.”

The Priory of the Sacrificial Mountain?Iman had never heard of such an organization.

"I don't seem to be able to help you with anything, right?" Iman felt a little fuzzy in his heart, wouldn't he turn himself into a lich to inherit his mantle?
"It's almost there, you can help." Lich said with certainty, "You may have seen it in the ghost market just now, do you know why those ghosts are happy and not sad?"

"I don't know." Yiman replied bluntly. For ghosts, it is those unforgettable memories that affect their ghost bodies.Among several emotions in life, negative emotions such as sorrow and anger are the most difficult to dissipate, so the ghosts you see are often scary, ferocious and ferocious.

The formation of Luohun Canyon was the result of the killing of millions of orcs by the Yiboli Dynasty in ancient times.As the saying goes, if you kill one thousand enemies, you will harm yourself by eight hundred. Many human beings were also buried here, forming today's ghost market.

"Because they are all incomplete ghosts, all negative emotions have been taken away. My only concern in this world is this Soul Falling Canyon. This place was originally a holy place for necromancers to practice. Ghosts The number is huge, and they will not take the initiative to attack people, or even fight back. I can't bear to see these mutilated poor souls, used by necromancers, unable to enter reincarnation, and have been waiting here for nearly a thousand years."

In the undead world where power is paramount, having a lich sympathize with the remnant souls of the dead is also a rare and precious thing. Usually, usually, these are just their food.

"The evil name of Luohun Canyon was also created by me, so that no one would disturb these living souls. If you want them to enter the reincarnation, you must find their lost negative emotions, right here, the beast you are about to go to arena."
