Astral Apostle Chapter 82: The Secret of Witchcraft

A few minutes ago.

Lin En hid in the shadows of the streets and alleys, poking his head from time to time, carefully observing if any robbers were approaching.

His face is slightly pale, his mental state is not good, his body is only slightly better than ordinary people, and he is exhausted after running for a long time. After hiding and resting in this dark alley that is not easy to be found for a while, he is still sweating Not only that, it is both tiring and smoked by the rolling heat.

"Fortunately, I know some witchcraft, otherwise I would have been killed by these thugs."

Lin En couldn't help pressing his temples to relieve the tingling sensation in his brain, which was the sequelae of using spells.

I have been living in seclusion in Deep Rock City for two years. I usually live like ordinary people, doing simple handicrafts to earn money. I have never shown my unique side.

Unexpectedly, such a turmoil would break out in the safe Deep Rock City. He had to use the power he learned by coincidence to protect himself.

I have never fought against others since I practiced it. Fortunately, I have secretly imagined how to do it in battle before, so when I encountered a lone bandit, I used that magical ability to successfully attack.

Lin En's face was ugly, and his thoughts returned to the shocking change a few hours ago.

At that time, just after the evening and the first night fell, he closed the door as usual, and studied at home the fragmented book that he had read hundreds of times. It recorded an unheard of magical power. For "witchcraft".

Since getting this book by accident, Lynn has read it almost every day, trying to figure out the magical content in the book, and has never let others know the existence of this book. the power of.

While he was reading a book, there was a sudden noise and chaos outside the house, as if a crowd was running away. Feeling bad, he went out and found that many civilians were looking in a direction in horror, and there were seven or eight unkind people slaughtering the guards.

This group of gangsters are obviously strengthened alien blood warriors. With a single knife, they cut the guards in half, and when they hit their bodies, they broke the guards' bones and tendons, and slaughtered dozens of guards in a short time. , They were still not satisfied, laughed and started massacring civilians.

A large number of civilians fled in a panic, and Lin En was also coerced. The gangsters chased after for a while, as if they had had enough fun, they went back to ransack the house, and the crowd quickly separated and ran away.

Lin En didn't know the specific situation. He only knew that the entire Deep Rock City was in chaos. It seemed that someone was looting the city.

Running and running, he found that the town was on fire, and the fire spread rapidly. On the road, he occasionally encountered the corpses of guards.

The strength of the alien blood warrior has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Although he has magical powers, his body is still similar to ordinary people. If he is beaten by the alien blood warrior, he will not die or be seriously injured. Lin En has no plan to fight back at all, and he does not feel that he is The opponent of this group of bandits.

He just wanted to find a place to hide, and prayed that the gangsters would not find him, and leave after looting.

It's a pity that the more you don't want to happen, the easier it is to happen. On the way to escape, he was unlucky to run into a lone bandit, and his heart almost stopped in fright.

As soon as the gangster spotted him, he strode up to kill him with a knife.

Lin En was almost scared to death, but in the end, his survival instinct prevailed, and he urged to use the so-called magic with the idea of ​​fighting, but he didn't expect the other party to be unprepared, and he was directly shot to death by the soil thorn. The blood warrior fell down and died directly in front of him.

For the first time to kill a strong enemy with witchcraft, Lin En was shocked, but also excited.

But he was still sober. He knew that the enemy had never seen this kind of power, and he was contemptuous, so he was caught off guard and succeeded in a sneak attack by himself. Run in a different direction.

However, luck was too bad, and I met a second bandit who was alone on the road. This time, Lin En gained experience, so he launched a sneak attack first, and used the advantage of the other party's ignorance to use his witchcraft to instantly kill a different blood bandit and escaped unharmed.

After running for a certain 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 and leave. It's best to hide here and wait for them to leave. Already."

Lin En withdrew from the memory, let out a breath in a low voice, and patted the book hidden in his chest, with a worried face.

At this moment, a burst of chaotic footsteps sounded in the distance of the street.

Lin En was alert immediately, and peeped quietly, and found that a dozen or so civilians were fleeing in panic. Each of them had several wounds cut with sharp weapons, and blood flowed all the way along with the violent running.

Behind the group of civilians, a gangster held a short knife and with a sickly excited smile, he followed the crowd unhurriedly. As long as someone ran slowly, he would directly slash the civilians with a knife to stimulate the opponent to speed up .

Not killing people, just driving and torturing like this, as if playing for fun.

"Help! Help me!"

More than a dozen civilians were forced to run, tired and sore, with fear on their faces, they could only scream for help, but after shouting for an unknown amount of time, they were already hoarse, and their voices could not be heard far.

Lin En hurriedly pressed himself against the wall, and tried his best to shrink into the shadow of the alleyway, reducing his sense of presence.

Soon, the group of civilians ran across the fork, and the bandits chasing after for fun didn't notice Lin En in the alley, and the old **** was still driving the crowd away.

The voices of distress calls and screams gradually faded away.

Lin En breathed a sigh of relief, got up and quietly left along the alley.

But after a few steps, Lin En slowed down when he heard the cries for help getting farther and farther away.

The complexion changes, and heaven and man are at war.

"Continue to sneak attack this time, maybe I can kill this villain, as long as I hide and use witchcraft, even if I fail, I shouldn't be discovered...

No, it's still dangerous! People didn’t find me, so don’t go out and cause trouble. Although these hunted people live in the same city as me, I don’t know any of them, so why take risks for strangers...”

Lin En was hesitant and tangled in his heart, and his rationality told him over and over again that he should not take risks and that running away was the best policy.

But I don't know why, but it's just a coincidence that I can't take a step forward.

With such power...is it the only way to look at it?

One second seemed to extend ten times and a hundred times. Lin En didn't know how long he hesitated, and his eyes gradually became firm.

"I successfully killed two gangsters before, and I will definitely be able to do it this time!"

Lin En was determined to turn around to save others.

But when he came back to his senses, he realized that the cry for help had disappeared.

It was very quiet outside the alley, only the burning fire in the street slantingly shone on the ground at the entrance of the alley, reflecting the bright and dark jumping light and shadow.

I hesitated for too long, they have gone far, is it too late...

Lin En froze in place, and the courage he had finally summoned seemed to be vented.

It's one thing to make up your mind to ambush and sneak attack, but it's another thing to take the initiative to catch up... This should not be within the scope of my ability, right?

Lynn couldn't tell whether it was a loss or a fluke.

He walked slowly to the entrance of the alley, wanting to take a last look at the direction they left.

But the head has not been poked out

Unprepared, a face suddenly protruded from the wall, with fresh blood spots on it, facing him, less than two palms away, occupying Lynn's entire sight!

This face is exactly the gangster who walked by just now, with a sick smile on his face, staring straight at him.

"There is still one hidden here~"

Lyn nearly went into cardiac arrest.

He backed away in a panic, without saying a word, he read the land in front of him, and a dozen sticks of soil stimulated his shots.

Papapa——

The soil thorn fell into the air and hit the opposite house, like a crossbow arrow, blasting pieces of bricks.

The gangster shrank his head to avoid it, then stepped out, blocked the entrance of the alley, and looked at Lin En in surprise.

"What ability is this?"

He did not expect this kind of weird attack, but fortunately he reacted quickly enough to avoid it urgently, with lingering fear in his heart.

He discovered Lin En early on, thinking that he was just a commoner hiding in the shadows and dared not speak out, pretending not to see, just planning to kill the carbine and give despair when others thought he had escaped. Lots of fun.

So he stopped torturing the previous "plaything" and killed them all by chopping melons and vegetables, and then quietly returned to this alley, preparing to surprise this "new plaything" that was hiding in panic.

Unexpectedly, this is not an ordinary person who can only beg for mercy, but actually possesses some kind of ability that he cannot understand.

The gangster was stunned for a while, and found that Lin En had turned around and ran away for a certain distance. He suddenly came back to his senses, became curious, and immediately followed.

Tap Tat Tia——

The two chased and fled in the alley.

The gap in physical fitness is too large, and the distance is rapidly closing.

Lin En didn't care about consumption, and used witchcraft one after another. The ground continued to turn into soil 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 alert, without any danger.

Even if you can block the enemy's footsteps, it can't make up for the gap in speed.

Once he is approached by the alien blood warrior... Lin En felt that he could think of a more dignified way to die in advance.

As the earth thorns and earth walls were released without any money, Lin En only felt that his brain seemed to be pricked by hundreds of needles.

"It's over, I can't hold it anymore!"

Lin En was so anxious and panicked that he could only stare wide-eyed at the culprits crashing into the dirt wall, and their calloused hands grabbed his face, and there was no way to avoid it.

At this moment, time seemed to slow down, and a series of thoughts flashed through Lin En's mind. There seemed to be regret, but also unwillingness. In the end, everything turned into fear, leaving his mind blank.

But at this moment, the grinning face of the gangster who had already bullied him suddenly changed, and he suddenly withdrew the big hand that was grabbing Lin En, holding the short knife with both knives and slashing towards the sky.

"How come..."

Before Lin En could react, suddenly a strange and strong figure fell in the air, bringing a beam of sword light like thunder.

Poof!

The gangster who had chased him to nowhere a second ago was instantly cut into two pieces.

Like a bag full of blood burst open, scarlet radiated in a fan shape, the scene was extremely tragic!

Lin En stared blankly at the back of Zhou Jing who descended from the sky, emotionally agitated by ups and downs, and was speechless for a while.

Zhou Jing shook 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 the words fell, Lin En rolled his eyes, his body went limp, and he fainted to the ground.

"Fuck, are you so shameless?"

Zhou Jing was startled, and hurried forward to support Lin En, slapped him twice, then pinched him again, and found that Lin En was quite dizzy and couldn't wake up.

"Shouldn't be fainted by fright, probably because the kidneys are overdrawn."

Zhou Jing's expression twitched.

There were a lot of questions I wanted to ask this mysterious person who seemed to have a different power system, but I could only swallow it temporarily when I saw it.

"I still want to see this person's attributes."

Zhou Jing didn't know what to do. He opened the panel and started the detection directly.

[Attributes: physical strength 7, resistance 9, perception 10, spirit 18, energy 20]

"Spirituality is several times higher than mine, and if you say dizzy, you will faint. I'm afraid it's not a display."

Zhou Jing complained.

With such a distribution of attributes, as well as the battle performance just now, this is obviously a different power system from the blood warrior, like the mage side.

'This may be a hidden power system, I didn't expect it to exist! ’

Zhou Jing's eyes lit up.

I happened to come to Deep Rock City to get involved in this turmoil, and unexpectedly found the new power system I've been looking for... Can this happen to me? Good luck!

Of course, the possibility that this person is a life form from another plane cannot be ruled out.

Just thinking about the scene where this person was chased by the first-time alien blood enhancer and fled in embarrassment, Zhou Jing had a hard time thinking about that.

——Lifeforms from different planes wouldn't be so good... should they?

"I can only wait for him to wake up and try again with words. I can't just chop him up now, and see if he can trigger the prompt of the alien plane..."

Zhou Jing shook his head, and began to fumble with this man with his big hands.

Although he is not dead yet, but he fainted and searched his body. Touching the dead body is an essential skill for going out.

A few seconds later, he paused, and felt a thin thing on this person's chest.

He reached into his bosom, and took out something. It was a book, which was badly worn, and half of it was torn off.

Zhou Jing opened the book and was shocked.

"It actually records the knowledge of witchcraft?"

There is still a power system on the magic side in this world, but the world has never known it?

He took a quick look and found that there seemed to be many differences between the "magic" recorded in this book and the magic system of the main world in his impression.

This book does not record spells, but how to obtain witchcraft power and how to exercise it. Strictly speaking, this book seems to be something like an "introductory guidebook".

The way to obtain witchcraft power is not practice or meditation, but must be fused with something called "natural spirit" in order to endow oneself with the power of witchcraft and release spiritual power.

The fusion of natural spirits is different, which determines the elemental attributes of its own witchcraft power. It does not require knowledge such as spells and magic circuits. The target substance completes a series of changes such as shaping and shaping, and achieves a magic-like effect-in the book, this behavior is called "Nianhe", which is the most fundamental ability of a wizard.

"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, but it doesn’t look like it. There is still a small part missing in the back, I don’t know what it is.”

Zhou Jing frowned slightly, his thoughts flashed.

Speaking of which, did this system exist in the world of alien beasts itself, or was it brought in by life forms from the alien plane? If it is the former, why in the history from the tribal era to the Terra Empire, there are only extraordinary existences of blood warriors, but there is no mention of witchcraft at all?

Among the common sense of the aborigines in the world of alien beasts, there is only one way to strengthen with different blood.

Could it be that these "wizards" are all hidden among the world, never revealing their existence? Still have no secrets?

Roman's figure suddenly appeared in Zhou Jing's mind.

I'm... Bah, Bill's big brother, he must be a wizard, right?

At this moment, he suddenly found that there was information flashing on the panel.

[You trigger the achievement [Secret of Witchcraft]! ]

[You get 2000 astral points! [Quality Improvement - Magic (Small)]! [Qualification Improvement - Natural Affinity (Small)]]

"Just being exposed to witchcraft ~IndoMTL.com~ can trigger achievements... In this world, the power of witchcraft is unknown to outsiders, so so-called wizards should be extremely rare."

Zhou Jing pondered for a while, and put the broken book into his arms without blushing or panting.

Temporary storage!

"Now is not the time for research. After solving the enemy, we will take a closer look. Anyway, this person will wake up. When the time comes, I will ask this person who has experienced it."

This book must not be let go, it may allow the apostles of the star world to obtain the current second power system.

And this insider can't be thrown here.

Zhou Jing picked up Lin En, and decided to go back to find his teammates, and temporarily put the fainted guy in place, lest he burp and cut off the clue.
