Chapter 237 Kill the Shadow of the Dead!
Nowadays, there are no longer dark areas during the day. The shadows of the dead in the secret world can be detected by apprentices hundreds of meters in advance.
The only good thing is that the daytime period in the secret world lasts very short, only about half an hour.
If there are no accidents, during the three days of this apprenticeship examination, we may only experience the daytime period this time.
But Yihua thought of another point:
"Even if it only lasts for half an hour, it is not something that most apprentices in the secret world can resist..." "
With the current intensity of the strange power, I don't know how many apprentices will be able to resist it..." During the short daylight period, the apprentices who died in the secret world will increase the intensity of the strange power... In this way, it will fall into a vicious cycle." The strange power lost the barrier of the energy of the Lumen Stone and materialized
. When they come out, the shadows of the dead that have reached at least the third level will attack the apprentices taking the exam unscrupulously during the daytime in the secret world.
In addition to the top ten in the standings who can defeat the shadow of the dead, the top 100 apprentices can barely resist or avoid the incoming shadow of the dead.
The remaining thousands of apprentices, even if they are grouped together, cannot play a role in fighting against the Shadow of the Dead. In the end, they just facilitate the killing of the Shadow of the Dead.
Thinking of this and realizing that the shadow of the dead might attack him at any time, Yihua quickly put aside his worries about the future.
At this moment, Yihua quickly ordered the apprentices who followed him to be more vigilant.
After a while, an apprentice discovered something unusual.
A young second-class apprentice who was good at reconnaissance and was located dozens of meters away from Yihua. Next to Li Wei, he suddenly shouted to everyone: "
Look, what is that!"
Hearing the words of the second-class Illuminati apprentice , everyone present looked into the distance.
Looking hundreds of meters away, at the edge of the forest and the clearing where a group of Illuminati disciples were, an unknown entity suddenly appeared with a translucent body and a skin as pale as a death.
As the most powerful among the apprentices present, Yi Hua was one step ahead of the Illuminati apprentice and felt the pale-skinned illusory shadow that suddenly appeared hundreds of meters away.
Feeling the familiar strange power aura on that illusory shadow, Yihua frowned, and a look of understanding flashed across his face.
"That is the existence that was previously hidden in the dark zone and attacked me. It is the manifestation of the strange power in the secret world - the shadow of the dead." All the apprentices present looked into the distance
. , when guessing what that pale shadow is.
The other party seemed to feel the attention of everyone present, and turned around, revealing a terrifying face with empty eyes and blood and tears flowing.
"Ah!"
"What the hell is that!"
"Is it the strange power in the secret world, the shadow of the dead?"
Through the information exchanged previously, some apprentices quickly reacted and realized What is the existence that appears hundreds of meters away from everyone?
Ignoring the exclamations of the Illuminati apprentices, Yihua stared intently at the ghostly figure who turned his head and was dripping with blood and tears, with a pale face.
After carefully observing the video of the deceased who had previously attacked him in the darkness, just when Yihua was about to take action, the pale ghost suddenly disappeared without a trace.
"Disappeared?"
"Where did that guy go?"
"Be on guard!"
Seeing that the apprentices around him were a little flustered, Li Wei, who had the highest status among the nearly a hundred Illuminati apprentices present except Yihua, quickly shouted loudly road.
Fortunately, with Yihua's many operations, the cohesion of the Illuminati apprentices is far better than other apprentice forces in the academy.
After hearing Levi's order, the nearly one hundred apprentices present, whether they were first-class apprentices, second-class apprentices, or non-Illuminati Anna and others, quickly calmed down.
And then, nearly a hundred apprentices quickly constructed a witchcraft through a pre-rehearsed formation, shrinking towards the center in an orderly manner to avoid being attacked by sneak attacks.
Just as the apprentices present were retreating in an orderly manner, looking around with vigilant eyes for the whereabouts of the pale ghost, the pale ghost suddenly appeared in front of a group of Illuminati apprentices in the open space, a piece of decay a hundred meters away. near tree stump.
In just a few seconds, the opponent unknowingly crossed a distance of hundreds of meters and approached the apprentices present at extremely high speeds.
"Could it be that that guy is planning to attack us?"
"Quickly speed up the construction of witchcraft to prevent that ghost from approaching!"
Without stopping the alertness of the surrounding Illuminati apprentices, Yihua felt the ghostly, ferocious face coming from the dead man. After seeing the astonishing malice of the Shadow of the Hunter, he snorted coldly.
However, just before Yihua was about to destroy the Shadow of the Dead, five apprentices, three men and two women, suddenly ran out of a forest not far from the Shadow of the Dead.
The five of them were not apprentices of the Illuminati, nor did they have apprentice badges from the Silver Star Society, Freemasonry or other forces. They seemed to be independent individuals who had not joined any force.
"Huh, I finally got rid of that ghost's pursuit. It's a pity that Carl, Sally and the others died at the hands of that ghost..." The
leader, a young second-class apprentice with weird black tattoos on his face, sighed. .
Hearing the sigh of the tattooed young man, the two men and two women following him all showed sad expressions, and even a few of them had tears flashing in their eyes.
"Damn it, what happened in this secret world! Why didn't the fifth-level instructor who announced the exam rules earlier tell us that there is a ghost in the secret world that is far more powerful than a second-class apprentice!" One of them said with a neat head
. The female apprentice, who has shoulder-length brown hair and delicate facial features but a slightly higher hairline, complained somewhat regardless of her image.
In response to her complaints, the other apprentices remained silent and did not respond.
The apprentices who died were extremely close to the five of them. They were childhood sweethearts even before they found out about their wizard qualifications and entered the Nine-ring White Tower Academy.
After entering the secret world, several people quickly gathered together relying on the resonance stone.
However, due to not knowing much about the secret world, after daylight fell, in just a few moments, several people were killed by the shadow of the deceased.
The young man with black tattoos in the lead realized that the secret world was now full of dangers. He did not look back too much and subconsciously looked at the open space ahead.
I saw nearly a hundred apprentices gathered in the open space hundreds of meters away.
At this moment, the apprentices looked at the five people with extremely complex eyes, as if they were looking at dead people.
The five second-class apprentices headed by the tattooed young man did not see the deep meaning contained in the eyes of the Illuminati apprentices.
A gray-haired girl following the tattooed young man saw nearly a hundred apprentices in the distance, almost all wearing the same silver cross badge on their chests. Her pupils shrank and she subconsciously said: "These apprentices seem to be from the Illuminati, etc.
" ,that is……"
The gray-haired girl's eyes were fixed on the handsome young gray-haired young apprentice not far from a group of Illuminati apprentices, holding a mithril cross sword.
Before the gray-haired girl apprentice could finish speaking, the tattooed young man who led him said bluntly:
"That guy is the top three in this academy competition, the vice president of the Illuminati, and the second-class necromancer apprentice - Ihua Felsis. !"
"That ghost thing shouldn't be too far away from us. Maybe we can try to persuade the group of Illuminati apprentices in front of us to join forces to fight against that monster?" Another young blond apprentice in the
team flashed his eyes and faced The other four suggested.
At the same time the other party recognized Yihua.
Not far from Yihua, Dean, who was previously rescued by Yihua from Enzo and whose strength was second only to Gabriel in the meeting, flashed his eyes and said to Yihua: "Mr. Vice
President, that tattoo. I know this young man. He is among the top 40 in this college competition and is on par with me in strength as 'Shadow Thorn' Tucker. Now he is ranked 33rd in the real-time standings!" Yi Hua said to him
. "Explosive Flame" Dean reminded himself and nodded slightly.
The next second, he caught the shadow of the deceased flashing past and rushing towards "Shadow Thorn" Tucker and others.
Yihua instantly used the Earth Knight Life Explosion, bursting out at a speed of more than half a hundred per second, the limit speed under normal conditions, and rushed towards the five people a hundred meters away.
He did not remind the other party verbally, because with the current distance, the time consumed by verbally reminding the other party was no less than the time consumed by going to support.
The tattooed young man "Shadow Thorn" Tucker and the four people following him did not see the shadow of the deceased who was less than a hundred meters away from the five people. He flashed past and pounced on the five people.
Seeing Yi Hua suddenly rushing toward where the five of them were, they all looked wary:
"What's going on, that guy is going to attack us?"
"Damn it! I was planning to join forces with them, but now we're in trouble!" "
Quickly cast witchcraft. Magic, don't let that guy rush over!"
So the five of them subconsciously looked at Yihua, making a defensive posture while constructing witchcraft, trying to prevent Yihua from approaching.
Just a few seconds later, when Yihua was only tens of meters away from the five people, Yihua suddenly stopped and a trace of regret flashed in his eyes.
"What's wrong? Why did that guy stop?"
"Does the other party want to negotiate with us?"
The five apprentices, headed by "Shadow Thorn" Tucker, did not notice the flash of regret in Yihua's eyes.
Seeing Yihua suddenly stop, the five people mistakenly thought that Yihua had other intentions, and they all fell into confusion.
Suddenly, a pale white figure with torn clothes and festering flesh appeared without warning among the five people, in front of "Shadow Thorn" Tucker, who was at the front.
Seeing the sudden appearance of the shadow of the deceased that was very similar to the strange ghost he had seen before, "Shadow Thorn" Tucker was immediately frightened and his face turned pale and lost all color.
This shadow of the dead was originally about to attack the Illuminati apprentices present, but due to the sudden appearance of the five "Shadow Thorn" Tuckers, it chose to attack the latter who were closer.
At the moment when the ghost-like pale shadow of the dead appeared, Yihua suddenly unsheathed his sword, and a light golden crescent sword energy struck at the dead man who suddenly appeared to launch a surprise attack with lightning speed. film.
It's a pity that although Yihua launched the attack without any delay.
But the short one second it took for the Crescent Slash to hit the Shadow of the Dead was enough for the Shadow of the Dead to launch an attack on "Shadow Thorn" Tucker who was only a few meters away in front of him.
Unless the Shadow of the Dead gives up attacking the "Shadow Thorn" Tucker in front of him and chooses to avoid Yihua's upcoming Crescent Sword Qi.
If it is a real resentful spirit, in order to survive, it will definitely choose the latter at this moment, give up attacking, and choose to avoid Yihua's deadly sword energy.
However, it is obvious that for the shadows of the dead that are embodied by strange forces, they only have the instinct to attack other existences in the secret world, and are neither undead nor living creatures.
The priority of the attack is much higher than its own survival.
The next second, an invisible force that the second-class apprentice could not resist suddenly attacked "Shadow Thorn" Tucker, who looked horrified but had no time to dodge.
At the last moment, "Shadow Thorn" Tucker reluctantly aimed at the shadow of the dead and released the fame witchcraft he had just constructed, trying to buy some time for his teammates.
Poof!
There was no accident. As one of the top 40 in this college competition, "Shadow Thorn" Tucker was a genius apprentice of the same level as "Explosive Flame" Dean who was not far from Yihua.
In this simple way, under the attack of the shadow of the dead, it turned into a puddle of meat filled with the smell of blood, mixed with broken bones and rags.
At the same time, "Shadow Thorn" Tucker released before his death, and the dagger turned from the shadow stabbed into the illusory form of the shadow of the deceased.
But in the end, "Shadow Thorn" Tucker's strongest blow only made the shadow of the deceased's illusory body surface flicker, causing ripples.
"Ah!"
"Brother Tucker!"
The other four apprentices, who were covered in blood, saw "Shadow Thorn" Tucker turning into minced meat in front of them before they could release their witchcraft, and they lost control of their emotions instantly. .
At the same time, the shadow of the deceased gradually became illusive and seemed to be preparing to attack the next apprentice.
But before the figure of the Shadow of the Dead disappeared completely, the pale golden sword Qi Crescent that Yi Hua slashed out a second ago had already crossed a distance of tens of meters and was away from the illusory body of the Shadow of the Dead.
Facing Yihua, he injected nearly 20% of his life energy, compressed to the limit, and had a weak exorcism effect on the Banyang Yan Crescent Sword Qi.
The shadow of the deceased was like a drop of water appearing under the scorching desert sun. The semi-illusory pale body was instantly covered by the blazing pale golden sun.
However, at this moment, a piercing scream came from the shadow of the deceased.
squeak!
Accompanied by ear-piercing screams, the shadow of the deceased struck by Yihua Crescent Sword Qi turned into a puff of smoke and disappeared without a trace.
Hearing the screams, the four second-class apprentices who were following "Shadow Thorn" Tucker, who were closest to the Shadow of the Dead but only a few meters away, fell to the ground on the spot and fell into a brief state of dizziness.
Even Yi Hua, who was dozens of meters away from the shadow of the deceased, felt as if a sap had been struck on his forehead, causing waves of dizziness and stinging pain.
Yihua had also tested in the dark zone before and eliminated the shadow of the dead.
But once the shadow of the deceased at that time is eliminated, it will directly dissipate without a trace.
It will not be like this at all, just like the Screaming Banshee, a fourth-class undead recorded in the "Encyclopedia of Undead Creatures", emitting a sharp sound that can almost pierce the eardrum, a terrifying scream that penetrates deep into the soul.
Suddenly, along with a slight dizziness, Yihua felt his temples twitching.
