Since Gao Fei and his party entered this Jin Dynasty tomb group, they have found no less than twenty or thirty coffins along the way. Without exception, they have been opened and the bones have been taken away.
Hong Debiao would rather give up the buried treasures than take away the bones. Gao Fei could only think that in the eyes of this crazy "spiritualist", the bones that had been buried for nearly a thousand years were more valuable than the cultural relics buried with them.
What does Hong Debiao want to do with these ancient bones?
Apart from using it to refine zombies, Gao Fei couldn't think of any other possibility.
However, the problem is that he and his teammates have been entering the underground tombs for almost a whole day. During this period, they have also encountered undead creatures, such as "Ghost Claws" and "Ghost Fetuses", but they have not found even a single zombie.
This is also something that everyone can’t figure out.
Full of questions, the group of five people continued to explore the intricate tomb passages, looking for Hong Debiao's traces.
Goofy's demon pet, Winged Cat Huzi, was exploring the way ahead as usual.
After a dull journey, an unusually shrill cat meow suddenly came from deep in the dark tomb passage ahead.
Jiang Feng, who was walking at the front of the team, was startled. He quickly stopped and turned around, asking Gao Fei: "What's wrong with Hu Zi?"
"It's nothing serious, I was just scared."
Through the spiritual link, Gao Fei could understand Hu Zi's panicked state of mind at this moment, but had no way of knowing what he saw, so much so that he was so frightened that his hair exploded.
The meowing sound came from far away, and the tiger fled back like a flying tiger.
Jiang Feng waved to it, but it ignored him, ran straight to Gao Fei, and jumped on him.
The poor cat buried its head in its owner's arms, trembling with fear.
Gao Fei gently stroked Hu Zi's back, trying to calm him down, but it had no effect.
With doubts, I opened the astrolabe and checked Huzi's status panel. I found that it had a "fear" debuff on it. It was not an ordinary fright, but a negative state caused by the supernatural fear effect.
In situations like this, one has to either wait for Huzi to pass a Will save and defeat the fear on his own, or one can only use supernatural means to help remove the fearful state.
Gao Fei thought for a while and came up with an idea, so he switched the "thief mask" he was currently wearing to the "poet mask" and sang an "inspirational song" to help Huzi boost his courage and eliminate fear.
…
You said let’s learn to meow together,
Meow, meow, meow, meow every day!
I said you should imitate pig braying,
Hey yo ho ho ho ho ho!
…
Gao Fei sang a song and successfully helped Hu Zi dispel his fear, and also succeeded in angering Jiang Feng and Wu Xiaoqian.
"What a crappy song you sang! Can't you change it to a slightly better one?" Jiang Feng asked angrily.
"One thing to say, Xiao Gao's voice is good, but unfortunately his taste in song selection is not that good." Wu Xiaoqian complained with a smile.
"I'm singing it for Huzi! As long as Huzi likes it, don't be picky!" Gao Fei became angry with embarrassment.
"Huzi, do you like to listen to this bad song?" Jiang Feng asked Yimao.
"Meow~" Huzi shook his head honestly.
"...Okay, I won't sing this anymore." Gao Fei said angrily.
After dispelling the fear, Huzi calmed down and conveyed the horrific scene he just witnessed to Gao Fei through the spiritual link.
"Xiao Fei, what did Hu Zi see that made him so frightened?" Wang Daqing couldn't wait to ask.
"The end of this tomb passage leads to a tomb chamber. The door is open. There are five coffins inside, and they are all empty."
"This is no different from the tomb chamber we explored before."
"The difference is... there are still five incorporeal ghosts floating in the tomb, which scared the tiger so much that he ran back."
"Ghosts are nothing to be afraid of, right?" Ma Tao raised his eyebrows in surprise, "When Huzi saw the will-o'-the-wisp before, he didn't show any fear at all."
"Although they all appear to be incorporeal undead, ghosts and ghosts are different. What Huzi found in the tomb was not a will-o'-the-wisp, but a group of bound spirits." Gao Fei replied in a deep voice.
"The group of bound spirits continued to emit 'fear aura' to the surrounding area. Huzi accidentally entered the aura's radiation range and failed to pass the will save, so he was frightened."
After hearing his explanation, everyone became alert.
Wu Xiaoqian rubbed her forehead, turned around and looked deep into the tomb passage.
"Sister Wu, did you sense something?" Jiang Feng asked in a low voice.
"The strong demonic energy is spreading... If my intuition is correct, I'm afraid it's the kind of ghost Xiao Gao just mentioned that is quietly approaching us."
With that said, Wu Xiaoqian took out her mobile phone and prepared to take pictures.
In the suffocating tense atmosphere, time passed by minute by second.
Until everyone was anxious and impatient, five blurry black shadows suddenly appeared without warning, and they were suspended quietly in the tomb passage.
Three in front and two in the back, sandwiching Gao Fei and others in the tomb passage.
"Holy crap! When did these ghosts go around to the back?!"
Wang Daqing couldn't help but exclaimed.
But he soon realized that he had made a mistake.
Binding spirits are incorporeal undead creatures that can directly penetrate the walls of tomb passages, take shortcuts and run behind people to launch sieges.
These five bound spirits, as a whole, look like looming human figures. Their clothes and faces are blurred, and it is dark from head to toe. Only two groups of pale light shine in the eye sockets, which are the immortal fires of the soul.
.
The five bound spirits silently surrounded them, and the cold aura emanating from their bodies made people shudder.
Wang Daqing composed himself and hurriedly activated the paladin's professional ability "Aura of Courage". A golden halo radiated from his body, offsetting the "Aura of Fear" emanating from the bound spirit.
Gao Fei, Ma Tao and Wu Xiaoqian were protected by the "Light of Courage" and immediately felt relaxed and the fear in their hearts dissipated.
Gao Fei originally wanted to sing a "motivational song" to help his companions dispel fear. Now that Wang Daqing has turned on the "Aura of Courage", he switched to a "Courage Song" to help his companions enhance their will saves and gain an attack advantage.
…
I am so angry that I lean on the railing and the rain stops!
Lift our sight, the sky and shouts, grand, vehement!
…
The bard's supernatural poetry does not necessarily have to be sung or performed. Gao Fei's recitation of "A River of Red" can also inspire a "song of courage".
At the same time, Gao Fei used the astrolabe to check the details of the bound spirit.
This kind of incorporeal undead is not a new species, and the Tiangong database provides complete data.
Compared with the will-o'-the-wisp, the spirit binding with challenge level 5 is obviously more difficult to deal with, with hp 56, and its attributes are: strength -, agility 18, constitution -, intelligence 5, perception 14, and charm 16.
In addition to the "aura of fear" that spreads 30 feet from itself, the spirit binder also masters the three feats of "alertness", "mastery dodge" and "weapon proficiency".
