NPC's Poverty Story

Chapter 176 Ghost Vine and Ore

After a while, the shadow wall finally calmed down again. Although An Mio could suppress these ordinary undead, she always felt a little uneasy.

No one knows why these souls are trapped in the walls of the passage, but it is obvious that these souls cannot lock themselves in.

An Mio led Erika deeper and deeper, and the situation in the same way became more and more bloody, with torn limbs scattered all over the walls.

An Mio was stunned for a moment, then thought of something, her expression became strange, she didn't expect that she would startle the undead in the whole passage.

And as she went deeper, she found that there were fewer dead spirits in the wall, and it took a while to see one, but it was obviously much stronger than the previous ones.

The closer the undead were, the stronger they became, but the group of people in front suffered heavy casualties.

But soon they came to the end of the passage, and a faint light lit up in the distance. It is a bit strange to have this kind of scene in such a place.

An Mio stopped at the exit of the passage, and the scene in front of her made her stunned for a moment.

Inside is a huge stone room, faint blue light flickers in the stone room, and in the center of the stone room is a tree with a height of seven or eight meters. The tree is covered with blue branches, which are crystal clear. Surrounded by crystal-clear small lakes, this is a dreamlike scene.

An Mio saw that the group of people who came in before her was also here, they stopped and stood quietly in front of the tree, no one spoke or moved, they looked like sculptures.

After staring at the tree for a few moments, An Mio couldn't help raising her feet, she also wanted to stand beside the group of people to enjoy this beautiful scene.

"Sister, those people are dead!" Erika's voice came from next to her ears, and An Mio felt someone tugging at the corner of her clothes.

At this moment, the scene in front of An Mio's eyes changed rapidly, it was still a huge stone chamber, but it was still a dreamlike scene one moment, and turned into hell the next moment.

The smell of blood came out, and the lake turned into bloody water. All those people fell by the bloody lake before. They had lost their vitality, but there was no expression of pain on their faces.

A vine full of bloody thorns danced like a poisonous snake, and one of them had already approached her chest.

A light blade flashed, the vine in front of An Mio was cut off, Erika had already entered the armed state, at this time Erika An Mio was both familiar and unfamiliar, she knew that this was Erika who hadn't appeared for a long time another personality.

Sure enough, when Erica turned her head to look at An Mio, her eyes were red, even more intense than before.

An Mio also reacted immediately, she was almost lost in the illusion, if there was no Erica, she might have turned into the nourishment of the vine at this time like the group of people.

People with spiritual talent and specialization like An Mio have been tricked unknowingly, not to mention those who came in before, and only a soulless existence like Erica can ignore this illusion.

Erika's fighting power in a crisis state was already amazing, but now she has become a bit stronger. In this mode, she can fly, behind her is a floating mobile turret, and in her hands are two lightsabers, cutting off the attacking Mio Behind the vines, she rushed directly to the vine itself.

An Mio quickly covered the armor, and then released necromantic magic.

But as soon as the breath of necromancy appeared, Mio felt as if someone was staring at her back.

She turned her head and saw a strange scene. There were indeed dozens of pairs of eyes staring at her in the wall behind her. They looked at An Mio for help and said something, but An Mio couldn't hear anything. arrive.

Seeing An Mio turned around and saw them, they immediately became excited.

But An Mio has no way to save them, the necromancer is not a doctor, and An Mio is not a very kind person.

But through this scene, An Miao remembered something. This kind of monster is called Ghost Vine. It lives by sucking the blood of living people. It also has a very abnormal ability to control the undead. The souls of the creatures whose blood it sucks will also be enslaved by it.

Now Mio finally understood where the undead in the walls came from.

Those are the souls who once died at the hands of Ghost Teng, and they were all imprisoned in the wall by Ghost Teng.

And after An Mio didn't show any intention of saving them, the faces in the wall began to twist, casting angry, resentful, and unwilling eyes on An Mio.

In their eyes, everything was An Mio's fault, if she hadn't dug such a hole, how could they have ended up like this.

An Mio shook her head, ignored them, and went to attack Ghost Vine instead.

The lightsaber in Erica's hand burst out with light blades, cutting down the vines continuously, but the vines' regeneration ability is too strong, and a second one will grow immediately after cutting one.

Of course, this kind of regeneration is not infinite. Mio can see that its regeneration speed is getting slower and slower each time.

An Mio used two huge bone claws to grab the vine in the air, and tore it frantically. Surprisingly, the vine was very fragile and would shatter when pulled.

Under the blessing of death energy, those vines could not regenerate, and the ghost vines began to tremble, and the erosion of death energy made it feel frightened.

An Mio soon understood the reason, the ghost vine lived on blood, and it was impossible for there to be any living things in this place for countless years, so naturally there would be no blood for it to feed on.

That is to say, this ghost vine has maintained its life in some way all these years, and it was not until those people in front came in that it awakened this ghost vine.

In other words, it is actually very weak, and it is a last resort to imprison those undead in the wall. It is weak and cannot control those undead, but will be backlashed.

It was already difficult for the vines to resist Erika's attack. Now that Mio joined the battle, he sealed the regeneration ability of the vines with death energy, and the ghost vine soon only had a section of root left.

At this moment, the wall behind them suddenly shattered, as if a door had been opened, and the undead inside had been imprisoned for countless years, and now they were finally free.

The few people who had just been sealed in rushed out excitedly when they saw the wall was opened, and before they were happy for too long, black shadows swallowed them in.

These undead have survived by devouring each other in the wall for countless years, and the fresh souls of those few people are a delicacy in their eyes.

The black shadow rushed out of the wall, the temperature in the stone room suddenly dropped, and the undead rushed towards An Mio and Erika whimpering.

Ghost Vine took the initiative to break the wall at the last moment and released the undead.

It's a pity that An Mio is not afraid of undead creatures. The black shadows rushing to the front have the most powerful aura. An Mio directly activated the control of the undead, and those black shadows froze for a moment and stopped immediately.

Then he quickly turned around and roared, and began to devour other low-level undead.

Those low-level undead were originally afraid of these more powerful undead creatures, and now they fled quickly. It was originally a plot of evil spirits devouring living people, but now it was reversed. An Miao controlled the undead and began to devour other people. Weak soul.

An Mio turned and stepped towards the root of the ghost vine, a blue flame ignited at the fingertips, igniting the severed root, the ghost vine immediately let out a piercing scream, and did not stop until the burning was over.

After the ghost vines died, those weak souls also stopped, and they began to dissipate slowly. Their existence was maintained by the ghost vines, and now only the few stronger undead remained.

And after the ghost vine disappeared, those powerful undead were completely controlled by An Mio, equivalent to a few free thugs.

At this time, Erica came to An Mio at night, and she still maintained the previous state. According to the previous situation, Erica would fall into a deep sleep after each transformation, but this time this state lasted much longer than before.

"Sister... sister, get out of the way."

The red-eyed Erica looked at An Mio, and said hesitantly after a long time.

An Mio was stunned for a moment, and then took a few steps back. This was the first time Erika spoke to her in this mode, which surprised her.

And this Erika actually called her sister?Is this influenced by another consciousness?
An Mio thought about it and couldn't understand the reason.

After An Mio retreated, Erika summoned two lightsabers again, put her hands together, and the two lightsabers merged and stabbed towards the platform where the ghost vine was before.

The platform was torn apart under the destructive power of the lightsaber, and a pit more than one meter wide was exposed below, and in the pit was a blue crystal-like ore.

It was only then that An Mio remembered that the purpose of their coming here was to find "food" for Erica, and these things in front of them should be the food that Erica was talking about.

The blue crystal ore is full of energy, and there are a few wisps of life energy mixed in it, but it is already very thin.

It seems that there is no reason why the ghost vine can survive until now without blood supply. It may not be able to absorb other energies in this ore, but it can slowly absorb the life energy in it.

From this, one can also imagine how huge the life energy of these ores used to be. After being absorbed by the ghost vines for countless years, there is still a little left, but it seems that even if An Mio and the others don't come in, the ghost vines can't last long.

But at this time Erika suddenly made a move that surprised An Mio. She curled up on the ore and lay down, then closed her eyes.

After a while, An Miao discovered that Erica had fallen asleep, and traces of blue light began to linger around her, and the energy in those ores was pouring into her body.

It seems that it will take some time to absorb all these energies, An Mio can only guard her by the side, and then put away the five black undead.

An Mio looked at the sleeping Erica and couldn't help but think of the other two passages. There is a ghost vine in this passage. What is there at the end of the other two passages?

This place is obviously thought to be built, that is to say, the ghost vine was also raised artificially, but what happened at the beginning is unknown, everyone here died, and the ghost vine was also trapped here.

But she just thought about it, and she had no intention of exploring the other two passages. She planned to take Erica away after she had absorbed the energy of these ores.
