Chapter 255: Awakening the Dead
Chapter 255: Awakening the Dead
A loud sneeze echoed through the corridor.
Even the dust on the ceiling was disturbed.
Not only the silence was broken, but also the originally dull mummies.
Their eyes instantly lit up red as they immediately sensed Alvin's presence.
Solanlian held Alvin's clothes tightly, and the elf's heartbeat at this moment was like a military drum.
“Run!!!”
Alvin shouted loudly and pulled Solanlian forward.
The cheetah in the shadows no longer restrained its actions.
Instead, he jumped out from the shadows and landed in front of Alvin and the others in two or three jumps.
The mummies, as if waking from a dream, let out hoarse roars and quickly chased after Alvin.
Dense swarms of terrifying monsters swept towards the two people on both sides of the corridor like a gray tide.
The heavy footsteps and low roars coming from behind were like the scythe of the god of death waving in Alvin's ears, forcing him to not slack off even a little.
Solanlian held Alvin's hand tightly with one hand and raised the staff behind her.
The tip of Sargeras's scepter flickered with an icy blue light.
"Ice cone technique!"
Suddenly, a cold whirlwind gushed out from the tip of her staff and rushed straight towards the surging tide of corpses.
The whirlwind was mixed with countless sharp ice cones, like hail in a storm, violently hitting the mummies.
The mummies that were hit by the ice cone spell were instantly covered with frost, and their movements became slow and clumsy.
They stood stiffly in place like frozen sculptures, allowing the whirlwind to sweep them up, spinning and flying in the air before smashing into the monsters behind them.
However, despite the power of the whirlwind, it could not completely stop the impact of the zombie tide.
The mummies behind quickly surpassed their frozen companions in the chaos. They rushed forward desperately, even pushing down their companions who were slowed down by the ice magic in front of them, and stepped on their decayed bodies to move forward.
One of the mummy's claws almost touched Solanlian's hair.
The situation ahead of the tunnel is not optimistic either.
In the darkness, countless troll mummies were like black walls, completely blocking their way forward.
These mummies, with their eyes emitting an evil red glow, seem to be waiting for their prey in the darkness, which is chilling.
Being chased and blocked, Alvin shouted.
"Green Shadow, lead us out!"
Then, he took Solanlian's hand, jumped up, and landed steadily on Green Shadow.
The two men hugged Green Shadow's back tightly, feeling her strong and powerful muscles tense and relax with every leap and fall.
"Tear them apart!"
Alvin chose the skill "Energy Infusion" in his mind, put his hands on the green shadow's back, and cast this strengthening magic on the cheetah.
The green shadow roared, and its speed increased instantly, breaking through the darkness like a gust of wind.
Her claws were as sharp as swords, and every time she swung them, they raised pieces of sand and dust.
It aimed at a troll mummy in front of it and pounced on it. There was a sound like tearing cloth, and the mummy's body was torn in half by the green shadow's claws.
However, even though its body had been torn apart, the remains of the mummy was still wriggling on the ground, its eyes flashing an evil red light, and it continued to tirelessly pursue Alvin and the others.
But soon, it was crushed by the surging tide of zombies from behind.
There are too many enemies ahead, and Green Shadow's fangs and claws alone cannot kill them all.
Wounds cut by the mummies had begun to appear on Green Shadow's body, and blood was already flowing out.
The mummies seemed even more excited when they smelled the blood.
Alvin didn't hesitate at all and quickly cast the Mantra: Barrier.
A golden ball of light rose from his body, instantly enveloping the cheetah and the two passengers.
This ball of light is like a solid shield, isolating them from external dangers.
Then another Holy Word: Serenity was used to heal Green Shadow's injuries.
The speed of the green shadow was greatly increased at this moment, like a sharp arrow piercing through the darkness. All the monsters that touched the golden light ball were easily bounced away by the huge impact force.
A short fifty meters, a short dozen seconds, now seem as long as a person's entire life.
Finally, Green Shadow led the two out of the encirclement and entered the next hall.
Alvin's heart was beating like thunder.
He knew it was not over yet and he had to turn back and deal with those terrible monsters now, otherwise they would be overwhelmed by endless enemies.
However, when he turned around and saw the troll mummies coming like a tide, his heart still tightened.
Those mummies were like messengers of death, approaching them with the breath of death.
"Holy Light! Please help me destroy these dead who desecrate life!"
Alvin closed his eyes and selected the skill icon in his mind.
“Halo!”
The moment Alvin released the holy halo, the air in the corridor seemed to freeze.
The sacred energy spread out like ripples, instantly illuminating the entire space.
The troll mummies were instantly covered by waves of sacred energy, as if ignited by invisible flames. Their bodies began to emit a faint light, which was the flame of their souls burning.
Then, Solanlian's blizzard arrived.
The cold wind was howling, snowflakes were flying, and the corridor was instantly covered with ice and snow again.
The troll mummies that were burning in the sacred flame were now surrounded by an icy blizzard.
Their bodies began to make crackling sounds under the torture of ice and fire, as if they would be completely destroyed in the next second.
However, these terrifying mummies were undeterred.
Though their bodies were tortured by ice and fire,
But the bloodthirsty red in their eyes seemed even brighter, as if they were staring maliciously at their prey.
The monsters moved slowly but steadily, as if they had only one goal, which was the lives of living people.
"Why can't these monsters be killed?!"
Solanlian exclaimed, how can we fight an unkillable monster?
Alvin also widened his eyes. The strength of these undead creatures made him almost unable to believe his eyes.
Those monsters that had already fallen came back to life after the effects of the halo and blizzard!
Although their bodies were broken, their blood-red eyes revealed a cold and ruthless light.
"Mr. Alvin, what should we do?"
Now even Solanlian couldn't help but ask.
Alvin shook his head.
"These monsters must have been cursed by some ancient troll witchcraft that brought these guys back to life. So we must find the source of the curse in order to solve this problem once and for all."
Suddenly, Alvin discovered that there was a huge stone platform in the hall they were in.
There is an ancient book on it.
The books emitted an eerie green glow.
