Chapter 240 I Have a Friend

Chapter 240 I have a friend...

…

"Mace?"

Seeing Matthew taking out such a big thing, Plague Angel Marconi suddenly looked hesitant:

"You actually know how to use such a strange weapon?"

obviously.

When she saw Matthew holding the hammer skillfully, she knew he wasn't just pretending.

A weapon of this weight is a bit too heavy for an ordinary warrior, let alone a spellcaster.

Marconi was naturally shocked.

Matthew smiled calmly:

"I had a friend who taught me the skills of using this weapon."

Of course he wouldn't say that he had acquired the mace-wielding skills by burying his friend named Edson.

Marconi frowned:

"Is it Chen?"

"What's your relationship with Chen?"

Matthew was happy that the other party was full of suspicion, so he casually said:

"There was a chance or two of fate."

Marconi's face became more solemn, and she took out a slender steel sword with her backhand.

The tip of this sword glowed with a little cold light. As it was swung, a whirring sound was made in the air, and seemingly invisible magic runes danced on it. This was obviously a good sword that had been enchanted many times. sword.

She pointed the tip of her sword at Matthew and slowly walked around him.

As a warrior who has been fighting for many years.

Marconi's joy over the successful placement of the spell-invalidating barrier has long since dissipated.

As long as the opponent still has a weapon in his hand.

She will always be alert.

She is well aware of the terror of alliance mages. In the eyes of Tianlun Palace, there are three main types of mages in the Seven Saints Alliance, namely the academic school, the practical school and the wild ones.

Generally speaking.

The mages of Yeluzi are the easiest to deal with.

Although they also have some strange moves, their lack of basic skills hinders them in many aspects.

It stands to reason that based on her intelligence.

Matthew is such a wild mage.

But the brief contact between the two parties made Marconi quickly realize that Ye Luzi might also be a practical fighter!

"This kid is a little too calm... he may have other trump cards, and I have to deal with them carefully."

Marconi took precise steps.

She quickly used her own movements to draw Matthew's attention.

Matthew held the mace tightly and did not take the initiative to attack.

This strange-shaped weapon is easy to pull. Once a rash attack is dodged, the situation will become very passive.

He was also observing Marconi's condition.

But in this process.

Marconi quickly realized that although Matthew knew how to use a mace, his experience in close combat didn't seem to be very good.

Even judging from the way the other person follows his gaze.

He is an out-and-out chick!

"It turns out it was just an act..."

Marconi breathed a sigh of relief. The next second, she clenched the rapier in her hand and suddenly spoke:

"When did you find out my identity?"

She was trying to distract Matthew.

The latter was indeed fooled, but heard him reply:

"The real Ai Lan doesn't have body odor."

On the surface, Marconi showed a furious expression, but in fact, when Matthew showed his gloating, he stabbed out with a sword!

This sword is as fast as lightning!

at the same time.

Plague Angel's entire body also erupted with a fierce energy flow.

That is the power from the domain.

That moment.

All aspects of her condition were improved to perfection.

Just a blink of an eye.

Her rapier was about to pierce Matthew's chest.

At the critical moment.

A loud thunder sounded on the ground——

"roll!"

"Celebrity Domain: Scream Back"!

Buzz~!

There was a trembling sound caused by violent shaking on the rapier.

Marconi's body seemed to hit a wall, and the next second, a huge force hit her like a wave.

She was forced to take several steps back!

"It's now!"

Since the battle at Moss Green Hills, Matthew's legend has grown to a higher level, so his ability to shout back with a stern voice has also been further strengthened.

While the shock effect on Marconi's body was not gone when she was scolded away.

Matthew slammed forward with a fierce hammer!

The speed of this hammer is not unpleasant.

However, Marconi is the reincarnation of an angel, and her resistance to knockback and shock is far beyond that of ordinary people.

call!

When the fierce wind brought by the mace hits.

She nimbly bent down and rolled on the spot to successfully avoid this fatal attack.

at the same time.

Her rich combat experience allowed her to capture a flaw created by Matthew when he retracted his hammer.

The rapier trembled again.

She turned her wrist downwards, and the cold light pierced Matthew's waist like a poisonous snake!

"I'll see how you can dodge this sword!"

Seeing that the silver light was about to pierce Matthew's flesh, but at this moment, another wave of air erupted with Matthew as the center.

boom!

Marconi lowered her head in distress. Her face seemed to have been slapped twice, and her body was punched like a sandbag.

puff!

She rolled several times in succession before she was able to get rid of the thrust generated by the air wave!

"The ring of resistance? No, the spell invalidation barrier is still there!"

Marconi looked at Matthew in surprise.

At this time, a faint green light was shining on the latter's body.

"It seems that compared to real melee masters, I still need to practice more."

Matthew looked at Marconi and laughed at himself.

On the data bar.

…

"Hint: You used the limited-time state "Ancestor Soul"!

You will randomly summon one of your minotaur ancestors to possess you, thus gaining powerful fighting ability!

Summoning successful!

You encountered the legendary minotaur "Blood Scythe" of the War Mad Clan!"

…

Whoosh!

With Matthew as the center, a large amount of wind blew in all directions.

The turquoise magic light illuminated this dark space.

A narrow portal lit up.

Then.

A minotaur soul walked out of the portal!

At that moment.

Marconi showed a look as if she had seen a ghost:

"Ancestor Soul?"

"This kid is actually a minotaur?! How is it possible!?"

"He looks so delicate!"

On the other side.

The minotaur soul was also looking up and down at Matthew.

For a long while.

He said in a muffled voice:

"Have the minotaurs evolved to be almost the same as humans now?"

Matthew was also embarrassed.

This was his first attempt to summon the soul of his ancestors. To be honest, it was a bit unscientific for a human to summon the ancestors of the minotaurs.

At the moment, he could only force a smooth situation and said:

"Times are changing."

Blood sickle. War maniac showed a puzzled expression:

"But this change is too exaggerated, it is more reasonable to say that it is abnormal."

Matthew was about to explain more.

But the strong minotaur soul waved his hand impatiently:

"Anyway, since you summoned me, you must be my descendant."

"My power, you are qualified to accept it!"

"Then, please turn around, I'm coming in!"

Matthew said a little nervously:

"Uh, wait a minute..."

Who knew that the other party rudely scolded:

"Don't be fussy!"

"Minotaurs should be straightforward!"

"I'm coming in!"

Huh!

A cool breeze blew by.

Matthew could clearly feel a huge amount of life energy pouring from his back into his limbs!

"Enjoy it, kid!"

"This is the power and glory of our ancestors!"

The roar of Blood Scythe. War Maniac echoed in the cave for a long time.

Matthew was shaking violently all over, which was the natural reaction of his body when he welcomed the great power from the Minotaur ancestors.

At the same time.

He felt a burning power in his chest.

He subconsciously pulled open the Star Weaving Robe and looked down.

But he saw a blood-colored lotus on his chest.

"Keep moving forward with the will of the Minotaur!"

Blood Scythe's voice sounded for the last time.

The lotus on Matthew's chest turned a deep red, as if blood was about to drip.

At that moment.

His muscles swelled up, and his physique became three times bigger!

...

"Hint: You have obtained the power of ancestors!

Power of ancestors: Your body will be strengthened to the level of a level 16 ancient war-crazed minotaur!

You have obtained the special states "Blood Lotus" and "War-crazed Road"!

Blood Lotus: The symbol of the War-crazed Clan. When the Blood Lotus is activated, you will be regarded as an ancient war-crazed minotaur;

War-crazed Road: In the combat state, you will have almost infinite energy and physical strength, and you will have a physique that will become more courageous with each battle, and your strength will be slowly improved in continuous combat.

In particular, after fighting continuously for more than 60 minutes, your strength will reach the legendary level.

At that time, you will have the possibility of attracting more blessings from the spirits of the minotaur ancestors."

...

What a powerful force...

Matthew quietly felt the wisps of irritability flowing in his body.

After entering the war-crazed state.

He seemed to be able to feel every blood pumping out of his heart.

That is the power of life.

That is the power of fighting.

That is the power of the minotaur!

"I didn't expect you to have Minotaur blood... Damn it, why is the information of Tianlun Palace always so backward!"

Marconi gnashed her teeth and cursed:

"And didn't the Zhan Kuang clan die in the Dark Ages? Why did their spirits appear in this era?"

Matthew turned to face her and slowly said:

"Maybe it's because..."

But before he finished speaking, his sturdy body suddenly moved forward two steps, and then he punched forward in the air!

That punch was obviously far away from Marconi.

But the next second.

It actually hit Marconi's face firmly!

Bang!

"Minotaur Martial Arts: Phase Fist"!

And just when this unexpected punch hit, Matthew's body instinctively connected with the subsequent combo.

He quickly released the mace.

With his other hand, he grabbed Marconi who was knocked away by the Phase Fist.

The next second.

He hugged Marconi's waist with both hands.

Flipped upside down.

Then he lifted it up high and smashed it headfirst onto the ground!

"Tauren Martial Arts: Heaven Collapse and Earth Shattering"!

At that moment.

Matthew grabbed Plague Angel's waist with both hands and smashed it up and down three times, smashing its head and upper body to pieces!

A lot of blood and brain matter splattered.

Matthew's hands were covered with blood.

The ground was also covered with blood.

Bang!

Matthew casually threw away the remaining lower body, which twitched on the ground for a while, and then seemed to have lost its vitality.

"I didn't expect the Minotaur to be so powerful..."

Looking at the mess on the ground.

Matthew was also secretly shocked.

Although the Plague Angel was not in its true form, the body just now had at least the strength of a 5th-level warrior.

But he was killed instantly by a negligence.

It can only be said that the War Crazy Minotaur's set of unexplained instant killing combos is really a bit scary.

Of course.

Matthew also knew that Marconi would not die like this.

This guy is a subordinate god of the Ruined Ikanos, and theoretically he can be resurrected in the latter's kingdom of God.

And a guy like this who reincarnated in advance is likely to dare to make trouble after being promoted to a demigod.

Although the kingdom of the demigod is weak, it is still possible to resurrect a devout believer.

Considering the weirdness of the withered believers he encountered before.

Matthew even suspected that the body just now was just a container of the Plague Angel.

There should be more under the ground.

This thought just came up.

He suddenly found a golden light flying out from the half body!

The golden light was a panic-stricken woman!

Matthew's eyes lit up when he saw it.

"Prayer"!

I didn't expect that the so-called Plague Angel Marconi was just a Prayer!

As we all know.

Prayers are the product of the souls of fanatics returning to the Kingdom of God after death.

This creature is a pure spiritual energy body, and its innate creation level is much lower than that of ordinary angels. It is even more flattering to say that it belongs to God.

Outstanding Prayers are indeed qualified to become angels, but their grades must not be very high.

From this point of view.

Ikanos the Ruined, who can send a Prayer to do things under the guise of an angel, is probably not very glorious now.

"Perhaps attacking the Druid Holy Land is a demigod ritual for Ikanos the Ruined and Taland the Weaver of All Things to ascend to the withered or ruined realm."

"Maybe they are not even demigods now!"

Such speculation flashed through Matthew's mind quickly.

Of course, he did not relax his vigilance because of this.

After all, academic mages like Fei Liwen had been captured by Ikanos, the incarnation of the King of Withering.

At that moment.

He rushed towards the golden light quickly.

And Marconi was flying desperately.

She didn't dare to look at Matthew at all. Without the protection of her body, she was just a ball of spiritual energy that could be manipulated by anyone!

If it was an ordinary enemy, she would still have the confidence to fight him.

But she didn't want to get entangled with the deeply hidden minotaur in front of her.

The speed of the petitioner was very fast.

But the speed of the war-crazy minotaur in short-distance attack was even faster.

In just a moment.

Matthew rushed to her side, grabbed the corner of the petitioner's skirt with his left hand!

This scared Marconi to death.

Her whole body was burning with golden flames, and her spiritual energy was consumed like flying, and her speed suddenly increased by 30%!

Whoosh!

With this explosive power, she quickly passed through the tunnel and rushed along an uphill slope.

And when passing the checkpoint.

She also calmly opened a mechanism that had been set up here before!

Boom!

A huge rolling stone fell from above and rolled violently down the ramp!

The tunnel was narrow, and Matthew was not small in size. In this way, he would definitely delay the pursuit in order to avoid the rolling stone!

Marconi breathed a sigh of relief.

Without hesitation, she took out a golden talisman and tore it open!

"The plan has changed! The tree-planting wizard is a minotaur..."

She spoke quickly while looking uneasily at the depths of the tunnel.

But the next second.

Her golden pupils suddenly shrank violently.

But a burst of fire appeared in the tunnel-

Boom!

Like a train passing through.

The minotaur with amazing brute force pushed the rolling stone upward at a terrifying speed.

In just a moment.

The rolling stone and Matthew ran over the body of the petitioner!

"No..."

Marconi wailed.

However, once the entity composed of spiritual energy is broken up, it will never be restored.

Matthew stopped and walked over quickly.

The latter was still frantically piecing together his spiritual energy blocks.

Looking at the golden light that was shattered on the ground.

Matthew asked calmly:

"So the Lotus of the Mother is not your wilderness form, but that of Ikanos or Taland."

"Tell me their location, I can make your death less painful."

Marconi wailed with half of her face broken:

"I can't say!"

"I don't want to die, woo woo woo..."

Matthew sighed, and then put his head over, in Marconi's pitiful eyes.

He blew hard.

Wow!

The golden light scattered.

The so-called Plague Angel was wiped out!

And after that.

Matthew had time to look around.

This is an extremely narrow underground space.

In addition to the upward ramp, there are three roads leading to different locations.

Both sides lead to the dark underground.

Only the end of the road in the middle has some lights.

Matthew looked.

Both the roads on the left and right were too narrow. He was a standard strong man now and it was difficult for him to squeeze through.

So he chose to take the middle road.

Not long after.

He passed through the corridor and came to the end of the road.

Here was a square with sparse candlelight.

The space above the square was very deep and dark, even larger than the secret base of the Scourge Cult underground.

Matthew looked around.

He confirmed that the space here was more than enough to accommodate two dragons fighting.

And on the square were rows of vertical ellipsoids.

Matthew leaned over to take a look.

He found that they were glass jars.

The glass jars were soaked in pale yellow turbid liquid.

Some of the glass jars were empty.

Some of the glass jars also had some incredible... spirits floating in them?

"No, it seems to be a special ghost!"

Matthew looked around in surprise.

The number of glass jars on the square was difficult to count.

And there are pipes extending from the back of these glass jars, which eventually merge into a thick copper pipe.

Matthew followed the copper pipe to the end.

He found that what connected with him was a thick yellow rhizome like a tentacle!

The tip of the rhizome was like a pistil.

The fine yellow and white branches wrapped the copper pipe tightly.

Matthew could feel it without getting close to it.

That section of the rhizome must have come from the lotus of the brooding mother hidden deep underground!

He observed calmly.

He found that from time to time, the ghosts in the jars were drawn out, but not long after, some ghosts were sent back.

These ghosts seemed to remain awake when they were sent back.

They still bared their teeth and claws at Matthew.

But under the immersion of liquid.

They soon fell asleep.

Waiting for the next summons.

...

"Hint: You have discovered the "group soul projection device."

Knowledge (Spell Identification/God Knowledge): You realize that the collective soul projection device is the divine version of the spell Blue Gauze Dream.

The Lotus of the Mother of Breeding projects these ghosts onto the clones, thereby mass-producing the most basic life, and then orders these withered believers to wreak havoc in the Cross City by issuing simple instructions."

...

I see.

Matthew had previously thought that these withered believers were very strange. They rotted completely after death, and their spirits were nowhere to be found.

It turns out that their ghosts had long been anchored by the Lotus of the Mother of Breeding!

And the Blue Gauze Dream, which was originally used to travel to other worlds, was also regarded by the Lotus of the Mother of Breeding as a part of the body that controls the ghosts to log in to the clones.

Through this method.

The Lotus of the Mother of Breeding can continuously produce cheap withered believers.

It's just that the quality of life of these believers will be very poor.

Matthew even observed.

Some of the ghosts in the glass jars are actually animals!

"Even if Lansha Yimeng can protect the ghosts from being damaged, it should not be able to withstand several soul mappings."

"Where did the Mother Lotus get so many ghosts? And it treated them as consumables!"

Thinking so.

Matthew wanted to follow the direction of the stem to find the real location of the Mother Lotus.

But at this moment.

All the candles in the square went out instantly.

And then.

A faint blue light lit up in the glass jar.

All the ghosts opened their eyes at that moment!

They stared at Matthew intently.

Whoosh!

A cold wind blew at the edge of the square.

It was because Matthew was now full of energy and high spirits, otherwise he would have been scared by this scene!

"Your audacity exceeded my expectations."

"But if the blood of the minotaur is your last trump card, then you are destined to die here today, huh, tree-planting mage."

An extremely feminine voice sounded in the darkness.

Matthew calmed down.

He did not find the source of the voice, but his perception reminded him that the speaker was the Lotus of the Mother hidden in the dark.

"Are you Ikanos or Taland?"

He asked calmly.

"It seems that you did some homework before coming here..."

The voice said this softly and weakly, and suddenly became sharp and high-pitched:

"But you, a despicable minotaur, dare to call the name of God directly!?"

"I am the weaver of all things, the daughter of the earth, the controller of tombs, poisons, and plagues!"

"Kneel down!"

An unquestionable force of law hit Matthew.

However, Matthew only took a half step back and stood firm.

His own resistance is very high.

In addition, the ancestral soul of the minotaur gave him an extremely tenacious fighting will.

The divine power of Taland, the weaver of all things, did not make him kneel.

Of course.

This is also related to Taland's current lack of strength.

"You are not even a demigod."

Matthew calmly looked at the rhizome that slowly separated from the copper tube.

The latter split in the middle, exposing countless tongues and tiny teeth.

A woman's head slowly emerged from it.

She stared at Matthew with indifference and anger.

"Even if I'm not a demigod yet, the gods of the past are not something that a brat like you can blaspheme!"

"I told you that you are really brave. When you found out there were so many ghosts here, you didn't even think of retreating."

"Didn't your teacher tell you that ghosts are the natural nemesis of mages?"

Accompanying this was Talland's shout.

The upper lids of all glass jars open automatically.

Countless ghosts flew out from it.

They circled Matthew and made sharp roars, as if they could tear him apart at any time!

The ghost is indeed one of the potential mage killers.

There are many high-level ghosts that can absorb not only energy but also concentration.

When a mage is surrounded by a large number of ghosts.

All his magic skills may become ineffective in an instant.

Therefore, every mage will be particularly careful when setting foot in the underworld.

And even for a strong character like a tauren.

When facing the ghost sea, it is easy to be drained of energy and become weak.

So in Talland's view.

Matthew is indeed a little overconfident.

"The number of ghosts here seems to exceed 1,000..."

Matthew said to himself.

"And to send you to the underworld, I only need 100 ghosts!"

Talland said coldly:

"Leave your last words, mage."

"You will be the first Alliance mage I kill after my return. This is your honor."

Matthew just shrugged when he heard this:

"I have a friend."

"He once entrusted me to investigate a soul-stealing mission. I'm ashamed to say that I didn't investigate it seriously at all. Who knew that this mission would come up on its own..."

Speaking of which.

He took out the lantern that exuded a faint green light from his luggage.

Wherever the light goes.

All the ghosts suddenly became quiet!

"My friend also said that as long as I collect 1,000 ghosts, he will automatically appear in front of me..."

"Do you think so, Viscount Fan?"

Matthew hasn't finished speaking yet.

Suddenly there was a bright light above the lost lantern, and amidst Talander's angry roar, thousands of ghosts were involuntarily sucked into the lantern!

Whoosh.

The ghost that was surrounding Matthew just now disappeared completely.

at the same time.

A man wearing a dark cloak and carrying a scythe appeared next to Matthew.

"The Demon Realm of Ravenloft? Viscount Fan?"

Tarand's voice suddenly raised an octave:

"I remember that Spirit Touch Hall and Tianlun Palace signed a non-interference agreement!"

Fan Zijue came to Matthew, glanced at the ghost in the lantern, and then replied very politely:

"There is such an agreement."

"But you are no longer a member of Tianlun Palace, and you have intercepted the soul that originally belonged to the underworld, which is a serious violation of the regulations."

"I didn't settle the score with you because I don't want to interfere with matters in the material world. You'd better not threaten me with what Tianlun Palace did."

Tarland was silent for a moment.

Fan Zijue turned to face Matthew with a faint smile on his face:

"I didn't expect you to complete part of the task so quickly. I originally thought it was people from the Hades Cult who were doing this, but I didn't expect the Wither Cult to be involved. The main material world is really in chaos right now, which is really upsetting. Chaos—fortunately, I’m not human.”

"Then I will accept these 1,000 ghosts. I promised you the condition I promised you - I will send a messenger to you soon for the content on the slate. In addition, I owe you a favor. As long as you have influence in the Demonic Domain of Ravenloft, Within my power, I will try my best to do whatever you want me to do that does not violate my principles.”

"As for this lantern, just keep it in your hand. If there are more ghosts, I will offer a better price."

Said.

He bowed slightly to Matthew and took away the souls.

The square suddenly became deserted.

After Fan Zijue left.

Tarand seemed to be relieved, and she sneered in a low voice:

"I thought you were really friends with the all-powerful Viscount Fan, but it turned out they were just using each other."

"You don't think I can't kill you if I leave the ghost, do you?"

The next second.

The sound of breaking rocks was heard frequently from all over the square.

Matthew saw green or yellow roots growing through the ground and rock walls.

These rhizomes carry colorful spheres.

And these spheres expanded rapidly as soon as they appeared.

Bang bang bang!

The sphere explodes automatically.

It turns into colorful powder and blends into the air.

quickly.

The entire square was shrouded in colorful poisonous gas!

…

"Warning: You have entered the plague realm and poison realm of Taland the Weaver of All Things!

You are attacked by 1247 poisons and 668 plagues at the same time!

Your body cannot be immune to this level of poison and plague damage! "

…

An unprecedented feeling of weakness came over Matthew.

His heart was pounding.

"As expected of a god, he still has unique advantages in the field."

He couldn't help but sigh.

Tarland said proudly:

"Of course, in the field of plague and poison, I am the king!"

Who knows the next second.

But Matthew denied it seriously and said:

"No! You're not!"

"I have a friend……"

"He is the king of this realm!"

While talking.

Matthew calmly opened up another related field besides the plague——

at the same time.

He also chanted a short, sharp incantation.

That was the secret language of a certain druid society.

After the spell.

Three illusory figures were quickly projected next to Matthew.

They were——

Corruption Lord Hasman;

Twilight Elf Dudley;

And a yawning topaz dragon!

"Hello, Matthew!"

Dudley's shadow said happily:

"You finally remembered that you are a member of the Spore Society!"

Corruption Lord Hasman waved his tentacles at Matthew gently and shyly, and then wrapped everything with a more vast and magnificent "Spore Field".

...
