Chapter 1750: Ghoul Brawl
The most important raw material for making glass is sand, and the sand of the Glass City comes from the Yalahan Desert south of the city. But the production of glass does not just require sand. When Mikaela Furnace City became the "Glass City," the most important reasons also included the large amount of limestone mines in the local area.
Those servants, attendants, and helpers who were transferred away were naturally not driven by the Gray Gloves to the mines to work, but were transferred to live in the Heisenge mining area on the south bank of Schluch Lake. That is the largest village north of the Glass City. The Gray Gloves found a small farm at the end of a country road far from the village. In fact, even if Xia De didn't come to investigate, the people who were cleared of suspicion would regain their freedom soon.
The journey was a bit long, so Xia De borrowed a horse and rode to the outskirts of the city. With "strong spatial perception" combined with the map, he didn't worry about getting lost even in the unfamiliar countryside.
It was just that at 10:30 this Tuesday morning, when he was riding a horse in the fields near the farm, Xia De saw abnormal thick smoke drifting from the building surrounded by fences on the ridge.
Worried about harming the borrowed horse, he first hid the horse in the nearby woods. After approaching the farm quickly, he found that it was indeed the farm that was on fire.
The farm was located on a small hill in this farmland. Xia De ran along the road upward, and head-on he saw a man covered in blood, stumbling and running toward this side with a pistol:
"Monster! Monster!"
He was too seriously injured, and his hoarse voice represented that life was approaching its end. He hadn't even approached Xia De before he plunged to the ground. When Xia De ran over to check, the man had already died.
"The pistol magazine is empty, the muzzle is overheated, it's out of bullets. Black traces on the face... poisoning?"
There were no fatal wounds on his body, only a bite mark on his neck. The stench came from there, and Xia De knew it was ghoul toxin just by sniffing it.
"What's the situation?"
Abandoning the corpse and continuing to walk toward the farm, he prepared spellcasting materials. However, in just a few minutes, the fire had swallowed the entire farm. Xia De saw dozens of corpses lying in the courtyard of the farm and saw a large number of dead corpses burning in the burning building.
Closing his eyes, there were no heartbeats jumping on the ground anymore. There seemed to be a warehouse under his feet, and there was a faint heartbeat in the warehouse, but it was clearly already dying.
At the same time, from the flames of the burning granary, low house, and stable, three hunched figures walked out slowly. The raging fire licked their bodies but couldn't cause any damage to them.
These were three ghouls, but unlike old Mr. Green, their degree of corpse mutation was not high, basically retaining human form. Only the skin presented a gray-white color, the eyes became turbid yellow, and the skin was wrinkled like an eighty or ninety-year-old person.
All three had heavy traces of elements on them, even containing whisper elements. One on the left, one on the right, and one in front, the three monsters moved slowly, but their eyes were fixed on Xia De, approaching him step by step with tacit cooperation.
Xia De, standing at the gate of the farm, pressed the pendant on his chest, counted three, two, one in his heart, and while the ghouls pounced on him instantly, he pulled off the pendant and raised it forward:
"Praise the Angel of Death... what?"
Even when facing thousands of water ghosts, the blessing power of this badge could sweep all the undead away with one blow. But this time, facing the light of the badge, the three ghouls actually subconsciously dodged, and didn't even show too much discomfort.
Xia De was suspicious in his heart, and then understood. He put away the badge and took a step back:
"Gentlemen, can you introduce your identities? Perhaps, I know your relatives?"
The ghouls didn't answer and pounced on Xia De from three directions again. Xia De raised his hand and slashed out a cross moonlight, but found that there were only two ghouls pouncing on him.
While widening his eyes, he stepped forward, and then appeared deeper in the courtyard of the burning farm. And the ghoul who tried to sneak attack Xia De from behind through spatial movement also missed as a result.
This battle could be considered to have just started. The rolling heat waves wrapped around one person and three corpses in the spring breeze. The three ghouls crawled on the ground and intertwined, then disappeared from the spot together.
A yellow moonlight longsword appeared in his hand, and then the flowing Xidun Fa Yin blocked the ghouls appearing from the left, right, and back directions. In the bursting yellow-gold flow, the ghouls flew backward together, and the "Space Stabilization Halo" that followed completely eliminated the possibility of their next spatial transfer.
"Jump from Lag!"
Xia De's figure appeared beside the ghoul that flew backward on the left, and the slashing yellow moonlight was also so bright in the crackling burning fire.
With a clang, the longsword hit the ghoul's neck, but it only left a white mark on the other party's skin.
"Blade of Misplaced Time!"
The second sword light slashed down, but it only cut off two slender fingers of the ghoul. The ghoul opened its mouth and bit toward Xia De's neck, but was kicked away by Xia De, flying into the burning granary like a cannonball.
The remaining two ghouls behind didn't continue to approach Xia De, but also entered the burning granary along the broken wall on all fours. Xia De took a deep breath and chased in with his sword in the rolling heat waves.
There was fire on all sides, and the sound of crackling burning seemed to be the only sound in the world. Xia De, who was blessed with many blessings, was not afraid of high temperatures and heat waves, but he had to be careful about his clothes.
And in this burning building, the open space in the center of the building where no items were placed could still be stepped on. Three ghouls gathered at the edge of the open space and alternated. They were not ordinary undead creatures. Although Xia De could easily solve any one of them alone, three together were not a small trouble.
"Thorns of the Moon."
The longsword in his hand stabbed backward toward the wall, and bright silver thorns quickly drilled out from the ground, blocking the doors, windows, and holes in the wall. Afterward, the yellow moonlight longsword disappeared, and the silver Moonlight Greatsword was taken out by Xia De from the firelight.
The crackling burning fire covered the sound of footsteps, and the sound of swinging the sword again after disappearing could not be spread from this burning house. The three ghouls who were temporarily unable to move spatially fought with Xia De who was constantly performing spatial movements. One was attacked, and the other two would immediately rescue together. The advantage of quantity was offset by spatial movement, but the three ghouls not only had similar behavioral logic, Xia De even found that they could share each other's vision and even injuries.
But even so, in this closed environment, restricted by Xia De's "Space Stabilization Halo," the ghouls gradually fell into a disadvantage.
Suddenly, there was another clash between claws and the greatsword. The Moonlight Greatsword cut off one of the ghoul's hands, but the squirming flesh quickly recovered. The three ghouls retreated into the fire again. One of them puffed up its mouth and blew hard, letting the surging sea of fire rush toward Xia De.
While Xia De used his longsword to split the sea of fire and prepare for the final blow, the ghouls' hands clasped together. In an instant, the four elements expanded violently, and in the shaking of the ground, the scene of the burning granary was gradually disappearing, replaced by the scene of the abandoned town on the central island of Schluch Lake that Xia De was very familiar with.
【Misuo.】
"Although I know these ghouls are unusual, even Misuo can be used. Is this too exaggerated?"
Keen perception told Xia De that all three ghouls were the owners of this Misuo. The three were clearly different individuals, but the degree of connection was like one person. They were casting spells jointly. And while the town took shape and the fog rushed to his face, the ghouls also disappeared in the fog.
The whole world was oppressing and weakening Xia De, but the environment of the Misuo was much better than those places in "Time Adventure." These weakenings could be completely ignored for Xia De. He didn't panic, observing the surroundings in the gradually forming town, and the effect of "Misuo · Schluch Lake Town" almost immediately appeared. In the high place of the fog, under that pale sky, three huge black shadows gradually approached Xia De in the town.
Looking up, they were clearly three ugly ghouls who had turned into giants. Because they became larger, the details belonging to the corpses on them appeared clearer. That ugly face and turbid eyes were simply as terrifying as the man-eating devils in stories.
Three giant ghouls leaned over from three directions and looked at Xia De, reaching out their respective claws to grab Xia De like humans fooling ants. In an instant, it was as if space was locked. Although Xia De still maintained the ability to act, he was strangely unable to move even a fraction of an inch.
The glowing key in his hand quickly turned into a long staff at this moment. As the long staff was raised to the high sky, a huge rotating light wheel greeted the six giant hands of the three ghouls.
Because this was Xia De's hasty spellcasting, the six hands of the Misuo owners grabbed the light wheel, and in a sound that made teeth ache, they actually tore the light wheel into pieces. And the time won was enough for Xia De to stir up the remaining Ling in his body and strike the ground with both hands holding 【Yggdrasil Staff】:
"Key of the Door!"
Crack~
With the position where the long staff struck the ground as the center, dense cracks spread toward the whole world. Accompanied by Xia De twisting the long staff in his hand like twisting a key, the Misuo collapsed instantly, and he and the ghouls returned to the burning granary again.
"Hmm? Why is the consumption of using 【Yggdrasil Staff】 to cast 【Key of the Door】 to forcibly break the Misuo so small?"
He had originally planned to take out the pink small bottle and drink a sip.
【Is it possible that because this staff itself is a key?】
"She" made a lot of sense, so the staff, which was called an "Angel-level Relic" by the long-haired Luweiya, was discovered to have brand-new characteristics. ===== CHAPTER 1751 =====
