Broad World - Chapter 383
Chapter 381 Ancient Mummies
The mummy is an embalmed corpse, and a series of enchanting and negative energy corrosion are required, and finally my soul is permanently imprisoned inside. Due to inhuman torture, these bandaged undead creatures possess so many supernatural powers, fear aura is just one of them. In addition, there are deadly viruses in their bodies. Anyone who comes into direct contact with them may be infected with carrion, and all physical attacks can only cause half of the damage.
Normally, it is impossible for a mummy to possess intelligence and thinking ability. But there are always exceptions. Thousands of years ago, a powerful necromancer invented a special method to ensure the integrity of the soul during the production process, so that the deceased can retain the memory, intelligence, and occupation of the deceased. grade.
There are very few spellcasters who master this method. In modern times, except for those old monsters that have lived for thousands of years, basically no one has. These dangerous undead creatures have a special name, called ancient mummies. Although this form is nothing compared to liches, it is much stronger than vampires, at least they are not afraid of being exposed to the sun.
Henry is now dealing with such a difficult opponent. He has cast four or five spells and divine spells in a row, but they are all blocked by protective magic. Obviously, the ancient mummy in front of me was a mage specializing in protection before he was alive. It was a mess with rich combat experience, especially the scary man with high spell recognition ability. It can judge the magic being cast almost when the first three syllables are chanted .
Its casting speed is also quite fast, and it can always bless the corresponding spell protection one to two seconds in advance. It can be said that this is one of the most difficult types of mages. They are always careful to put themselves in an absolutely safe position, and then slowly look for the weaknesses of their opponents, until they have absolute certainty, they will make a fatal blow. .
If it weren’t for the once-a-day time to stand still, Henry would definitely use it without hesitation now. However, there is no regret medicine in the world. Under the premise of not wasting the scrolls, he can now only follow the tactics taught by Tyrantier before, step by step to crack the opponent’s protection step by step. This is a set that has been summarized by countless spellcasters. With almost no flaws in the fighting method, whoever has more spell slots and more prepared.
The caster level of the ancient mummy is obviously not more than sixteen, and the whole body is wrapped in bandages and it does not look like it will carry magical items and scrolls. Ten minutes later, it finally ran out of the last protective magic and began to fight in hand-to-hand combat. However, due to the mummy’s slow speed of action, it did not pose any threat at all.
With his agile skills, Henry dodges simple attacks very easily. Occasionally, the next trip will knock the opponent directly to the ground. After a few rounds, he said to the ancient mummy who fell on the ground: “Listen, I know that you are different from those puppets, and you must retain the intelligence of your life. Now let’s make a deal. The rules are very simple. I will spare your life. . You serve me. How is it?”
“I…I can’t…break the contract…Kassa…curse…I must…must kill…tomb robbers…unless…someone replaces…otherwise…Nivagia will always… Can never leave.”
The ancient Muna spoke intermittently, and there were many places where some ancient grammar was mixed, but Henry still understood the meaning. This poor mage was imprisoned by a contract and a curse to guard the tomb, and unless he was killed or someone willingly replaced him, he would never leave.
“First of all, it is not us who stole and damaged Casa’s body, but some other tomb robbers. Secondly. I can find a voluntary replacement. Now only a word from you is needed, obey! Or destroy!”
Henry inadvertently mobilized a trace of his own power when he said this. Terrifying energy quickly flowed through the tomb, and even the ancient mummies, who were undead, felt the fear from the bottom of their hearts. It crouched respectfully on the ground and replied without looking up: “I… obey… the new master… but must kill… the tomb robber… this is… a bandage… as long as someone wants… willing Accept…it will be teleported immediately…here…instead of…my place…”
“You made the right choice and I will finish the rest. Let the skeleton warriors step back now. We must hurry up to hunt down the real tomb raiders.” Henry grabbed the bandage and walked outside.
He is now extremely satisfied with the gains of this adventure, especially the last ancient mummy called Naivagia, which is simply a surprise. And it was a big surprise. He must have mastered a special method of spell recognition, and as long as he learns it, he can be invincible in the magic duel.
It is a very scary thing to know that it is a very scary thing to make a prediction immediately when the opponent just starts to cast the magic. This is like two fighters in a duel. One of them always knows the other’s attack direction, pace, dodge and other actions in the next second, while the other doesn’t know anything. As long as there is not too much difference in strength, victory is almost a certainty.
As far as Henry knew, neither Kelburn, Laila, Ellastro, nor the longest-living Ilminster had mastered this technique. They had to predict at least halfway through the spell chanting. Obviously, it was too late to react at this time. It can be said that this is a kind of magical skill that has been lost or has not spread at all. Its importance is no less than that of the instant spell series (spell matrix, spell sequencing, spell activation, etc.) invented by Xinbu, all of which were invented by Xinbu in order to release more spells quickly. The Red-robed Mage back then Suffered a big loss, it is said that several chiefs were killed directly).
After seeing all the skeleton warriors retreating back to the secret road, Korgan spit on the ground fiercely:
“Bah! I swear. You must pee three times on their graves! Dare to steal what belongs to us! I’m so impatient to live! It took me a long time to find out the **** book. Where, those parasites dare to steal it! Go! This tomb seems to have only been pried open for a day! If we hurried to Ping Li Ke’s house before those idiots, we might still have a chance to take back my things! Xia Ge This fellow Berg owes me a lot of debt!”
“My good dwarf, don’t be so excited, none of these guys can run. But it’s too cheap to kill them with an axe from time to time? I have a better suggestion here, such as imprisoning one of them in a grave and slowly starving. Die, and then be transformed into an undead creature.”
Henry just needed a hapless guy to replace Naivagia, and these tomb robbers were just right. Anyway, they are not good people, and there is no pressure to cheat.
Kogen touched his beard for a few seconds, then nodded slightly. “Okay! Although I think it’s more enjoyable to unload him and then pull the intestines out. But this time I listened to you, Xia Geberg is too much, we must use a more lasting punishment method.”
“I promise, you will be satisfied with this plan after you see it. Lead the way, I think you should know where to find these people.” Henry made a please gesture.
“Of course! Of course I know where these chores will go, the flat and profitable home of the administrative district, he is the collector who released the commission. Come on, don’t froze, keep up.”
Kogen waved at everyone, then followed the long way back. He also picked up four or five giant swords when passing by the skeleton warrior’s corpse. These weapons had been strengthened by magic, and they could sell hundreds of gold coins on the market. He who is greedy for money is obviously unwilling to lose a large sum of money for no reason, so he would rather add more weight.
However, although the dwarf warrior accurately estimated the weight, he forgot the length of the greatsword. These big guys over two meters can’t cope with a height of about four meters. He tried several times before tying it up with a rope, and then crossed it and carried it on his shoulder.
Henry smiled helplessly for this kind of guy who wanted money and life, and directly picked it up and put it into the dimension bag. He didn’t want to waste time for these more than one thousand gold coins, especially since it was already night. If this adventure cannot be ended as soon as possible, tomorrow’s plans are likely to be affected.

An hour later, everyone came to an earth-red building in the temple area. As soon as Kogen approached the door, he cursed loudly: “Damn it! It’s been turned over here! It’s taken away!”
“How did you see it? The door is intact, and there is no strange sound from inside.” Feder asked with a puzzled face. She had stayed in the Shadow Thieves Guild for so many years, and it was the first time she saw someone who didn’t even enter the door, and could tell at a glance whether the house was ransacked.
The dwarf pointed to his nose and replied, “Did you see my sensitive nose? Little girl! As long as someone dies within one kilometer it can smell right away. I bet it must be inside. There are quite a few corpses, and it is estimated that Pinlike’s corpses are already covered with maggots.”
“Let’s go, just go in and take a look.” Henry opened the door directly. I saw several corpses lying on the floor of the living room. One of them was dressed in gorgeous clothes and seemed to be the owner of the house.
Kogen glanced at and said with a sneer, “Aha! It seems that my former partner is painting the visceral entrails like painting. We’d better go to the roof of the Bronze Crown Hotel and shake it. I strongly suspect those bastards. It shouldn’t be out of the city yet, it should be fun now.”
“Then what are you waiting for, let’s go. I’m a bit tired now, so I can settle everything quickly and find a place to sleep.” Henry turned and walked towards the door after speaking. He didn’t want to be blocked by the guards on patrol, even if he had ten mouths long, he couldn’t explain it clearly.
Kogen patted his stomach and muttered: “I think I should eat something before going to bed. I can’t sleep when I’m hungry.” (To be continued.
