On the Seven Towers

Chapter 270 The Source of Evil Spirits

The farce under the shade of the tree deliberately avoided the dwarves. Therefore, when Adam entered the entrance of the ruins, he was praised by Sinclair.

"I thought that a warrior must have a good alcohol tolerance. It seems that I was wrong." He handed a crossbow and two small balls to Adam, "This crossbow can be used to attract the attention of the golem, and these two small balls are also very precious magic props. After throwing them out, they can produce ground spikes on the ground. You can use them if the situation is critical."

"Thank you." Adam put the long sword in his hand back into the scabbard and pinned the small ball on his belt. He turned around and looked at everyone, then walked into the passage with the crossbow.

"Brother! Be careful!" Aura's voice came from behind.

Adam walked in front, and the drone followed behind him, and others could see his every move on it. Although he had been blessed with acceleration by Luo Ling, he walked very slowly, much slower than Matthew and the others.

After walking for a while, he finally came behind the golem standing at the door. Adam hesitated for a moment, but still raised the crossbow and aimed at the body of the golem and pulled the trigger.

"Dang."

The arrow hit the back of the golem, making a clear sound. The golem's body made a friction sound from the joints, and it turned around with a creaking sound.

Not only this one, but all the other golems nearby turned their heads to look over, but Adam was in a good position to hide, and only the golem on the outside could see him.

The golem's head was an inverted triangle, and its narrow eyes emitted a light blue light. When it saw Adam, it moved without hesitation, directly raised its arm holding the long sword, and rushed towards him with big strides.

Adan turned around and ran out, pulling out the long sword from his waist. His speed was naturally faster than the golem, and he felt relieved after running a few steps, because from the sound of footsteps, only one golem followed him. He gradually slowed down and moved forward with the golem hanging on.

It seems that as long as he is not seen directly by the golem, he will not be regarded as a target.

When he ran to the door, he even had time to turn around and take a look at the golem, and then ran out of the wall through the gap he had left in advance.

The golem paused when it rushed to the cave entrance, as if it was startled by the people waiting in front of it, or maybe it was re-targeting its target.

However, the people waiting by the tree would not give it a chance. At once, guns and cannons rang out, four or five shells, and more than a dozen bullets hit it, knocking it to the ground.

One shell broke the golem's thigh, and another shell crushed half of its head. The golem struggled on the ground for a few times, trying to stand up again. At this time, the dwarves on the hillside behind the entrance began to throw stones on its head. After seven or eight stones fell, the golem would not move.

The guns stopped, and Adam jumped into the wall from the side, walked around the golem, kicked it a few times, and saw that the golem had no reaction, so he announced loudly: "This golem has been killed." The dwarves applauded and cheered around.

Luo Ling and Elena did not participate in the siege just now, but were observing everything carefully.

"Have you seen the energy distribution of the golem?" Luo Ling asked Elena.

"Ling, your guess is right. There is an evil spirit living in the golem's head." Elena said.

"It seems that the so-called evil spirit is the golem's operating system, or the controller." Luo Ling gently bit her lips with her teeth and squinted her eyes. She was always thinking about something at this time.

Village chief Yasen had a look of realization on his face: "Is this the origin of the evil spirit? No wonder they can compete with us for control of our bodies. They manipulate us as flesh and blood golems. It turns out to be like this... This place is a curse."

Treating flesh and blood as golems? Luo Ling naturally knew that the driving principle of the golem was completely different from that of a human or dwarf, so she always felt that something was wrong.

"It's coming out. Look, it's next to Adam."

Everyone looked in the direction of Elena's finger, and saw a nearly transparent white object floating out of the golem's head. The appearance of that thing in the air was very similar to an octopus swimming in the sea water. It avoided Adam who was close at hand and quickly floated towards the dwarf's position. At this time, Sinclair, who was standing at the front of the position with his back to the evil spirit and directing the gunner to clean the barrel, was standing at the forefront of the position.

"Sinclair! Look at your head!" Yasen roared.

Sinclair looked up and found a very light thing rushing towards him. He hurriedly poured his fighting spirit into the cleaning rod and threw it at the evil spirit.

The evil spirit was split into two halves by the stick with fighting spirit, and each was annihilated in the air.

"Fortunately, if it had possessed Sinclair, we would be in big trouble." Yasen said.

"The evil spirit should not have the ability to possess a mid-level warrior, right?" Elena said.

"We can't take this risk. After all, this is a monster created by the Black Dragon Empire. We must be more careful." Yasen gave orders and picked out a few dwarves who were good at throwing axes, asking them to be ready to snipe the evil spirits that ran out at any time.

————————————————————

Adan began to do the same thing again, and lured out five golems near the door one after another.

Every time he went forward, he would choose the right angle so that he would not fall into the field of vision of other golems when attacking. Three golems were lured out and destroyed individually, and another time, he lured out two golems, but they were also unable to escape the dual interference of stone walls and vines, and finally died under the cannon.

During the operation, Adam also proved one thing, that the golems standing by the wall were indeed damaged. They would not react to his provocation.

Whether it was the dwarves or humans, the morale gradually rose. As everyone cooperated more and more tacitly, the golems were eliminated faster and faster after being lured out.

Even the evil spirits could not make any waves, and they would be discovered by Elena once they appeared. The evil spirits without possession were very fragile and died one after another from the attacks of fighting spirit or magic.

In order to avoid the backlash of magic, Luo Ling did not join the battle, giving her the opportunity to observe these golems and evil spirits carefully. When she saw another evil spirit that broke into the dwarf position being dispersed by a mid-level warrior with a throwing axe, she said to Elena: "I found some patterns."

"What?"

"All these evil spirits tried to occupy the dwarf's body." Luo Ling stretched out her hand and pointed at several locations, which were the locations where the evil spirits were finally eliminated.

"That's true. They were all destroyed in the dwarfs' camp in the end, but what does that mean?" Elena also recalled the movements of the evil spirits. Once they left the golem, they would pounce on the dwarves. They did not rush to humans, nor did they sneak away. Instead, they showed an attitude of not stopping until they occupied the dwarves.

"Is there any record of the elves saying that the spiritual power of dwarves is weaker than that of humans?"

Elena smiled and said, "Although I admire you humans. But I have to admit that dwarves, like elves, are a race with strong talents. Dwarves are known for their strong will and stubborn thinking. They are only stronger than humans in resisting spiritual magic."

"That's strange. Why do they try to occupy the bodies of dwarves?"

"Maybe because there are no weak people among us this time." Elena said.

"This must have a premise, that is, the evil spirit can distinguish the strength of the target's spiritual power. But the actual situation is not like this. The first evil spirit wanted to possess Sinclair, who was closest to it, and later there were evil spirits that wanted to possess other mid-level warriors. And these people were surrounded by ordinary dwarves whose spiritual power was far weaker than theirs. If the evil spirit could distinguish the strength of the opponent, it would not make such a suicidal move. There is another example. The previous evil spirit possessed Sinclair's son Babik, who was also a low-level warrior. This was not a good choice either."

"So you think the evil spirit can't distinguish the strength of the opponent and just randomly chooses the target?"
