Moon Witch, embark on the journey!

183. approach

"It is said that the ancient gods do not need faith, or at least it is not that important to them. Some cruel ancient gods ignore their believers, slaughtering lives and launching blood sacrifices are common."

"However, the Silver Moon Goddess is a rare benevolent one among the ancient gods. She really blesses the weak creatures who believe in her. Therefore, the group of Moon People is also quite large, and spans many worlds and races."

Luna suddenly thought of the simple altar and statue in the magic cave, the monsters that desperately ran there at the moment of destruction, the large circle of open space around it that was not frozen, and the ball of moonlight essence in the altar.

Even the low-level monsters with low intelligence know that there is the only chance of survival.

Perhaps many tens of thousands of years ago, a group of magical beasts gathered near the crudely made altar, and in the midst of their reverent worship, they actually welcomed a ball of moonlight that descended from the sky, which protected them and helped them through the most dangerous moment.

Unlike their frozen counterparts, those monsters survived the crisis. Their descendants continued to live in the secret realm, and after a long time, they forgot everything that happened in the past. Until today, they still live in harmony with wizards in the fragment of the former world - the secret realm of the extremely cold magic cave.

Will there be a similar place in the Shadow Lake Secret Realm?

"There are also speculations that it was because the Silver Moon Goddess was hostile to many evil gods that she eventually fell. However, during that period, almost all the ancient gods fell for unknown reasons, so this statement is actually somewhat untenable."

Elvina was very knowledgeable, and much of her knowledge could not be found in the open books of the Dark Ring. Luna really wanted to hear her talk more, but soon Kurt came back.

"I've talked to Savin, and there hasn't been any major activity in the secret realm recently. Let's set off now."

"Well, I can't wait."

Elvina nodded, and she took out a map with a marked route and showed it to Luna:

"The wizards in our family have explored this area before and found the remains of an ancient city...Luna, I'm sorry to bother you..."

......

To be honest, Luna had guessed that Elvina's visit to her was definitely for no good reason.

This premonition has now come true.

"This is a small town from ancient times. It was probably submerged for a long time by a tributary of Shadow Lake. Affected by the aura of death, many undead appeared."

Elvina pointed at the map with her slender fingers and looked at Luna expectantly:

"There are many first-level and even second-level undead outside. Our family suffered a lot of losses before but failed to successfully break through the defense line..."

"Wait, you're not asking me to deal with it... me fighting a second-level undead? Really?"

The corners of Luna's mouth twitched, but she wasn't really angry.

The contract she signed with the other party was quite strict. If she was really forced to die, Elvina would also suffer.

Elvina immediately shook her head and explained:

"You just need to hold on for a while and lead them away. My grandfather and I will help you. I know you will attract the undead in the secret realm..."

"You said you didn't see it at the time, but you found it after all!"

Luna complained. She did attract the undead from the Shadow Lake, and that person even helped her and saved Enissa.

The problem is, that guy doesn’t seem like an ordinary undead. Who knows what the attitudes of other undead are?

"I have to give it a try. I won't be willing to give up if I can't enter the ruins..."

Elvina's eyes were full of obsession.

......

The three wizards traveled forward in the secret realm of Shadow Lake, and after a while, they had already gone deep into the secret realm.

After the last agreement was reached, this time after a long time, the special undead lady did not come to the door.

Luna didn't know whether to feel disappointed or relieved.

After all, the man had always appeared together with the Shadow Lake tributaries the first two times. Even if he had no ill intentions, he was still very dangerous.

The secret realm itself is full of dangers.

boom!

The huge black energy ball crossed the long distance and landed on a hideous monster in the distance. The extremely corrosive dark element energy storm instantly turned it into bones, and then turned it into ashes.

Luna was amazed at the power of this witchcraft. He was indeed an advanced wizard who had been famous for a long time.

That was probably a first-level peak magical beast, but not even a bit of its ashes were left. It was a bit of a waste.

"With Grandfather here, we just need to focus on the ruins."

Elvina took it for granted that she would be the bodyguard of this advanced wizard.

The three of them moved on.

The location of the ruins is in the deepest part of a dark forest.

Some scattered boulders can be seen around, some of which are engraved with difficult-to-distinguish patterns, like some ancient texts or patterns.

In a valley, there was an open space surrounded by a dark and thick death fog, which almost completely obscured the scene inside.

There are many such dangerous places in the Shadow Lake Secret Realm. I don't know if there are treasures in them, but they must be extremely dangerous.

"The ruins of the ancient city are in there. This is a place where dark elements are very rich, and can already be compared to some first-level special range witchcraft. Ordinary formal wizards will not be able to survive in there for a few minutes."

Elvina handed a bottle of potion to Kurt and Luna respectively.

"This is a potion specially made for this kind of environment. It can last for about a day. It was made by a potion master that the family commissioned. It is very precious."

Luna could tell at a glance that this potion was indeed very good. The refining technique was simply unfathomable. It must have been made by a potion master at least at the advanced wizard level.

“I don’t know if I can do this.”

Luna immediately shook her head. She didn't have any such targeted potion recipe or materials on hand.

After drinking the potion, the danger level of the surrounding black fog seemed to decrease a lot. After the three people approached, it seemed that some special energy slowly emanated from their bodies from the inside out, neutralizing the surrounding black fog.

Luna was amazed at the technique and creativity, and really wanted to talk to the potion master, but unfortunately now was not the time to talk about it.

The vision is poor in the black fog and the mental strength is also limited.

In order to guard against possible dangers, the three walked very slowly, and it was not until several minutes later that they approached the outskirts of the ancient city ruins.

You can already see the ruins of the ancient city walls and something wandering outside.

Boom, boom, boom.

In the dead silence of the black fog, heavy footsteps were heard in front of them, and a humanoid figure was walking towards them.

184. Experiment

Boom, boom, boom.

Heavy footsteps sounded in front of him, accompanied by the sound of armor rubbing against each other. The surrounding black fog was disturbed by something moving violently, and a human figure could be vaguely seen in front of him.

Boom, boom, boom!

The sound was getting louder and closer.

Obviously, the thing in the black fog had discovered them and was rushing towards them.

"They are the Undead soldiers guarding outside the city. The previous few times they came to investigate, they didn't respond until they were close to the city gate!"

Elvina whispered hurriedly.

Low-level undead have no reason and only follow the trajectory of their activities in life. In other words, normally the undead soldiers will only attack when someone trespasses.

"Are you really coming for me?"

This abnormal situation was probably related to Luna herself, and she became a little worried.

First it was the vampires and then the undead. They could all sense something special about her and attacked her one after another as if she were a hot commodity.

If this problem cannot be solved, Luna feels that she will have trouble sleeping and eating.

"This is not bad, the effect is better than I expected."

Elvina was unaware of her worries at this time, and just looked forward with shining eyes:

"If we can lure the undead out, it will be much easier to deal with them!"

In the time it took to speak a few words, the noise coming from the black fog ahead had grown louder and louder. It was estimated that five or six undead soldiers were approaching, and several human figures wearing ancient armor could already be seen.

"You really don't want to hide?"

"It's okay, leave it to me."

The advanced wizard Kurt at the side suddenly spoke. He did not use any witchcraft, but a powerful mental fluctuation appeared on his body. The materialized mental power appeared in reality and directly affected the surrounding environment.

The black fog rolled up visibly, and the spread of spiritual power drew out line-like trajectories.

puff!

The black fog in front was broken, and several skeleton soldiers wearing ancient armor and made entirely of white bones broke through the fog and appeared in front. Dark green soul fire was burning in their empty skulls, making them look extremely evil.

Those skeleton soldiers were not slow at all and they rushed in front of the three people in a flash.

The two young wizards stood there waiting without making any move.

"Humph!"

Kurt shouted angrily and glared at the attackers.

Swish!

At this moment, the nearby black fog suddenly rolled violently, and hundreds of lines appeared out of thin air, like countless slender arrows shooting straight at the approaching skeleton soldiers.

call!

The movements of several undead soldiers froze, stagnating in the same position just now. Then the next moment, the flickering soul fire in their skulls suddenly weakened and then quickly went out.

pat, pat.

Broken armor and a large number of bones were scattered all over the ground.

Is this the mental attack of a second-level wizard? Luna had experienced it once before, and it was done by the out-of-control Enissa.

This is also a good way to deal with the undead. The problem is that many of the undead's souls carry strong negative emotions, which can cause spiritual pollution. If used too much, it will place a considerable burden on the wizard.

Kurt remained calm, showing his powerful mental strength.

"Is that the end? It doesn't seem that difficult to deal with."

Luna felt a little relieved when talking without any hesitation, since she wasn't the one doing the fighting anyway.

But in fact, these undead soldiers are not that strong.

She estimated that its strength was about that of a first-order magical beast, and it didn't seem to have any special talents or magic.

"No, these are just ordinary soldiers at the outermost edge. They are the gatekeepers of a small border town in the ancient shadow world who turned into undead."

Elvina explained:

"The stronger they were in life, the stronger they became as undead. These soldiers might have been ordinary people who were not even at the first level. After experiencing the baptism of the Shadow Lake tributary and a long time, they became much stronger after death."

"Those captains or generals of the guards who were at the first or second level in their lifetime are the enemies that are really difficult for us to deal with."

It seems that she had done her homework before coming. Luna glanced ahead and saw only a few outlines of the city hidden in the black fog. She asked:

"You know how much power there is in the city. What's the approximate level of the strongest being?"

“I’m not sure. We haven’t been deep into this before. But we can be sure that this is not a big city. Even if there were many powerful people in the ancient times, there would definitely not be legendary creatures in such a place. The possibility of the existence of high-level creatures... is very small.”

It seems that Elvina is not too sure either.

"I really hope not."

Luna was confident that she could deal with most first-level enemies, but second-level ones were a headache. If there were high-level undead, it would be a problem whether she could escape.

I can only hope that the two people around me have some hidden tricks up their sleeves.

Kurt suddenly spoke, pointing to the broken skeletons in front of him:

"almost."

Kara, Kara.

The scattered and shattered bones that had fallen to the ground suddenly emitted some energy fluctuations. A dark green flame emerged, and all the scattered bones were reassembled and pieced together, and soon restored to their original appearance.
