Astral Apostle Chapter 82: The secret of witchcraft
A few minutes ago.
Lynn hid in the shadows of the streets, probing from time to time, carefully watching for bandits approaching.
His face is slightly pale, his mental state is not good, his body is only slightly better than ordinary people, and he is tired after running for a long time. He is still sweating after hiding for a while in this dark alley that is not easy to be found. More than that, it is both tired and hot.
"Fortunately, I can do some witchcraft, or I would have been killed by this group of thugs."
Lynn couldn't help pressing his temples to relieve the tingling sensation in his brain, which was the aftermath of using the spell.
I have lived in seclusion in Deep Rock City for two years. I usually live like an ordinary person, doing some simple handicrafts to make money. I have never shown my peculiar side.
I didn't expect such turmoil in the safe Deep Rock City, and he had to use the power he learned from this coincidence to protect himself.
I have never used to fight with people since my training. Fortunately, I have quietly imagined what to do in a battle before, so when I encountered a single bandit, I used that magical ability to successfully attack.
Lynn's face was ugly, and his thoughts returned to the shock of a few hours ago.
At that time, just after the evening and the beginning of the night, he closed the door as always, and studied the remnant book at home that he had read over and over hundreds of times. It recorded an unheard of magical power. The book said "Witchcraft".
Since getting this book by accident, Lynn has read it almost every day, trying to figure out the magical contents of the book, never letting others know about the existence of this book, so he never revealed that he got it according to the instructions in the book. the power of.
While he was reading the book, there was a sudden noise of chaos outside the house, as if a crowd was running away. Feeling bad, he went out and found many civilians looking in horror in one direction, where seven or eight people who didn't seem to be good were slaughtering the guards.
These gangsters are obviously all enhanced alien blood warriors. With a single knife, they cut the guards in two. When they hit the body, the guards' bones were broken, and dozens of guards were slaughtered in a short time. , they were not satisfied, laughed and began to slaughter civilians.
A large number of civilians fled in panic, and Lynn was also surrounded by them. The bandits chased for a while, and then they seemed to have had enough fun. They turned back and ransacked the houses. The crowd soon split up and ran away.
Lynn didn't know the specifics either, but he only knew that the entire Deep Rock City was in chaos, as if someone was looting the city. There were screams and screams in the distance, and he could only hide everywhere.
As he ran, he found that the town was on fire. The fire spread rapidly. From time to time, he encountered the bodies of guards on the road. It seemed that the entire city's troops were dead, which made him more and more frightened.
The strength of the alien blood warrior has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Although he possesses magical powers, his body is still similar to that of ordinary people. If he is beaten by the alien blood warrior, he will not die or be seriously injured. Lynn has no plan to fight back at all. The opponents of this group of robbers.
He just wants to find a place to hide, and then pray that the bandits don't find themselves, and leave after looting.
Unfortunately, the less you don't want to happen, the more likely it will happen. On the way to escape, he was unlucky enough to bump into a single robber, and his heart almost stopped.
As soon as the gangsters found him, they strode closer and planned to kill him with a knife.
Lin En was almost frightened in place, but in the end, his survival instinct prevailed, and he urged the use of so-called spells with the idea of fighting. The alien blood warrior fell and died directly in front of him.
For the first time to kill a powerful enemy with witchcraft, Lynn was shocked and excited.
But he was still sober. He knew that the enemy had never seen this kind of power, and he held it with contempt. He was caught by surprise and was attacked by himself, so he did not inflate the delusion to stop all the gangsters, but quickly changed Running in a direction.
However, luck is too bad, and a second lone bandit is encountered on the way. This time, Lynn had the experience, and he attacked first, using the advantage of the opponent's unknowing, to use witchcraft to kill a different-blooded bandit in one second, escaping.
After running for a distance, I found the hiding place at this time and rested until now.
"I don't know if my house is on fire. Fortunately, I brought the book out. I hope I don't encounter enemies again... I don't know when these thugs are satisfied to leave. It's better to hide here and wait for them to leave. ."
Lin's thoughts retreated from his memories, he lowered his voice and exhaled, and patted the book hidden in his chest, with a worried expression on his face.
Just then, a chaotic footstep sounded in the far side of the street.
Linn was immediately alert, and he quietly probed, and found that a dozen or so civilians were fleeing in panic. Each of them had several wounds cut by sharp weapons, and blood flowed all the way as they ran violently.
Behind the group of civilians, a gangster holding a short knife with a morbidly excited smile followed the group casually. As long as someone ran slowly, he would slash directly on the civilians to stimulate the other party to speed up .
Don't kill people, just drive and torture, as if playing for fun.
"Help! Help me!"
A dozen civilians were forced to run, tired and in pain, and their faces were full of fear. They could only scream for help, but they had been hoarse for some time, and their voices could not travel far.
Lynn hurriedly pressed himself against the wall, trying his best to shrink into the shadow of the alleyway to reduce his presence.
Soon, the gang of civilians ran across the fork. The bandits who were chasing after him for fun didn't notice Lynn in the alley, and the old **** was still driving the crowd.
The cries for help and screams drifted away.
Lynn breathed a sigh of relief and got up and quietly left along the alley.
But just a few steps out, Lynn's footsteps slowed down as he heard the cry for help that was getting farther and farther away.
The complexion changes, and the heaven and the human are at war.
"If I continue the sneak attack this time, I may be able to kill this villain. As long as I hide and use sorcery, even if I fail, I should not be discovered...
No, it's still dangerous! People didn't find me, don't go out to cause trouble, although these hunted people live in the same city as me, but I don't know any of them, why take risks for strangers..."
Lynn was hesitant and tangled in his heart, and reason told him over and over again that he shouldn't take risks and that running is the best policy.
I don't know why, but the ghosts and gods can't move.
Having such power...isn't that the only way to look at it?
One second seemed to extend tenfold and a hundredfold, and Lynn didn't know how long he hesitated, but his eyes gradually became firm.
"I've successfully killed two gangsters before, but I'm sure I can do it this time!"
Lynn's heart is certain, he will turn around to save people.
But when he regained his senses, he realized that the cry for help had disappeared.
It was quiet outside the alley, only the light from the burning street slanted on the ground at the entrance of the alley, reflecting the jumping light and shadow.
I hesitated for too long, they have gone far, is it too late...
Lynn froze in place, the courage that he finally mustered seemed to be drained.
It's one thing to make up your mind to ambush and attack, but it's another thing to take the initiative to catch up... This shouldn't be within my ability, right?
Lynn couldn't tell if it was a loss or a fluke.
He walked slowly to the entrance of the alley, trying to take one last look at the direction they were leaving.
But the head hasn't come out yet
Without psychological preparation, a face suddenly sticks out from the wall, with fresh blood spots on his face, facing him, less than two palms apart, occupying all of Lynn's sight!
This face is the gangster who just passed by, staring straight at him with a sick smile.
"There's one more hidden here~"
Lynn nearly went into cardiac arrest.
He retreated in a panic, not saying a word about the land in front of him, and a dozen or so roots stimulated him to shoot.
Clap clap-
The soil thorn missed, hitting the opposite house, like a powerful arrow, blasting bricks.
The gangster ducked, then stepped out, blocking the entrance of the alley, looking at Lynn in amazement.
"What ability is this?"
He didn't expect this kind of weird attack, but fortunately, he reacted quickly enough to avoid it urgently.
He discovered Lynn early, thinking he was just a civilian hiding in the shadows and didn't dare to make a sound. He pretended not to see it, he just planned to kill a carbine and give despair when others thought he had escaped. For him Lots of fun.
So he stopped torturing the previous "plaything", chopped melons and vegetables to kill them all, and then quietly returned to this alley, ready to surprise this "new plaything" who was hiding in terror.
I didn't expect that this is not an ordinary person who can only beg for mercy, but has some kind of ability that he can't understand.
The gangster was stunned for a while, and found that Lynn had turned around and ran out for a distance. He suddenly recovered, became curious, and immediately followed.
Tap-Tap-
The two ran after each other in the alley.
The gap in physical fitness is too great, and the distance is quickly closing.
Lynn didn't care about consumption, and used witchcraft one after another. The ground continued to turn into earth thorns, stone pillars, and earth walls, desperately blocking it.
But without the surprise of the sneak attack, the lethality is not strong. All these attacks were resolved one by one by the bandits who were on guard, and there was no danger.
Even if you can stop the enemy's footsteps, you can't make up for the difference in speed.
Once approached by alien blood warriors... Lynn thinks he can think of a dignified way to die in advance.
With the release of earth thorns and earth walls without money, Lynn only felt that his brain was stabbed by hundreds of needles, and the sting was extremely painful. Venus began to appear in his vision, and it gradually became blurred.
"It's over, I can't take it anymore!"
Lin En was in a state of urgency and panic. He could only stare wide-eyed as the bandit smashed into the dirt wall, and his calloused big hand grabbed his face, unavoidable.
At this moment, time seemed to slow down, and a series of thoughts flashed in Lynn's mind. There seemed to be regrets and unwillingness. In the end, everything turned into fear, leaving his mind blank.
But at this moment, the gangster who had been bullied, suddenly changed his face with a grinning smile, and suddenly withdrew the big hand that was grabbing at Lynn, and slashed towards the sky with both knives holding short knives.
"How to reply..."
Lin En hadn't reacted yet, when suddenly a strange strong figure smashed into the sky, bringing a thunderous sword light.
Pfft!
The gangster who had chased him into a corner a second ago was instantly interrupted in two.
Like a bag full of blood burst open, scarlet radiates in a fan shape, the scene is extremely tragic!
Lin En stared blankly at the back of Zhou Jing, who fell from the sky.
Zhou Jing threw off the blood on the knife, turned to look at Lin En, and raised his eyebrows: "Don't be afraid, I'm a good person."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lynn rolled his eyes, his body softened, and he fainted directly to the ground.
"Wait, is it so shameless?"
Zhou Jing was startled, and quickly stepped forward to support Lin En, slapped him twice, and pinched him again. He found that Lin En was so dizzy that he couldn't wake up.
"It shouldn't be stunned, it's probably a kidney overdraft."
Zhou Jing's expression twitched.
There were a lot of questions that I wanted to ask this mysterious person who seemed to be a different power system, but he could only swallow it temporarily when he saw it.
"Still want to see the attributes of this person."
Zhou Jing had no choice but to open the panel and directly start the detection.
[Attributes: Physical 7, Resistance 9, Perception 10, Spirit 18, Energy 20]
"The spirit is several times higher than mine, and I'm dizzy when I say it. I'm afraid it's not a decoration."
Zhou Jing slandered.
The distribution of such attributes, and the battle performance just now, this is obviously a power system different from the alien warrior, like the mage side.
'This might be a hidden power system, I didn't expect it to exist! ’
Zhou Jing's eyes lit up.
I happened to be involved in this turmoil in Deep Rock City, and I was able to discover the new power system I have been looking for... Can this happen to me? Good luck!
Of course, the possibility that this person is an alien lifeform cannot be ruled out.
Just thinking of the scene where this person was chased and fled by the first-time alien blood enhancer, Zhou Jing had a hard time thinking about that.
——Alsoplane lifeforms wouldn't be so rude... should they?
"I can only wait for him to wake up and then use words to test it. I can't just cut it right now and see if it can trigger the prompt of the alien plane..."
Zhou Jing shook his head, and his big hands began to touch the man.
Although they are not dead yet, but when they are dizzy they just search their body. Touching a corpse is an essential skill for walking.
After a few seconds, he moved and felt a thin thing in the man's chest.
Looking into his arms, he pulled out the thing, and it turned out to be a book, badly worn, and torn in half.
Zhou Jing opened the page to read and was shocked.
"Actually recorded the knowledge of witchcraft?"
There is still a power system on the spell side in this world, but the world has never known it?
He looked at it briefly and found that the "witchcraft" recorded in this book seemed to have many differences from the main world spell system in his impression.
This book does not record spells, but how to obtain magical powers and how to exercise. Strictly speaking, this seems to be something like a "beginner's manual".
And the way to obtain the power of witchcraft is not to practice or meditate, but to integrate something called "the spirit of nature" in order to give oneself the power of witchcraft and release the spiritual power.
The natural spirits that are fused together determine the elemental attributes of their witchcraft power. They do not need knowledge such as spells and magic circuits. They only need to use the external spiritual power to infiltrate the substances of the same element. The target substance completes a series of changes such as shaping and sculpting, and achieves spell-like effects-in books, this behavior is called "intelligence", which is the most fundamental ability of wizards.
"This kind of witchcraft feels different from the various branches of the magic side of the main world, more like some kind of original version... By the way, who discovered this system? Well, this book does not have the author's name, I don't know if it was written by this fainted guy. It doesn't feel like it. There is a small part missing at the back, and I don't know what the content is."
Zhou Jing frowned slightly, thoughts flying around.
Speaking of which, does this system exist in the alien world itself, or is it brought in by alien lifeforms? If it is the former, why is there only the extraordinary existence of alien blood warriors in the history of the tribal era to the Terra Empire, but there is no mention of witchcraft at all?
In the common sense of the aborigines in the alien world, there is only the path of alien blood enhancement.
Are all these "wizards" hidden from the world, never revealing their existence? Or have no secrets?
The figure of Roman suddenly appeared in Zhou Jing's mind.
I'm... ugh, Bill's big brother, isn't he supposed to be a wizard?
At this moment ~IndoMTL.com~ he suddenly noticed a message flashing on the panel.
[You trigger the achievement [Secret of Witchcraft]! ]
[You get 2000 Astral Points! [Quality Enhancement - Magic (Small)]! [Quality Enhancement - Natural Affinity (Small)]]
"Just being exposed to witchcraft can trigger achievements... In this world, the power of witchcraft is not known to outsiders, so so-called wizards should be extremely rare."
Zhou Jing pondered for a while, and took the remnant book into his arms without blushing or panting.
For now!
"Now is not the time for research. After the enemy has been dealt with and then refined, this person will wake up anyway, and it's time to ask this person who has experienced it personally."
This book must not be missed, it may allow the astral apostles to obtain the second power system at present.
And this insider can't be thrown here.
Zhou Jing picked up Lynn and decided to go back to find his teammates and temporarily set up the fainted guy, lest he burp and cut off the clues.
