"Young people, I forgive your ignorance and your fearlessness based on ignorance."
Hong Debiao actually didn't get angry, and walked proudly towards the pile of bones in the center of the tomb with his hands behind his back.
"Do you think that I, Hong Debiao, only have this ability, and that Iron Corpse is my highest masterpiece?"
"Sorry, you are wrong. My talent is beyond your imagination!"
"I really didn't realize how talented you are. Your level of pretentiousness is beyond our imagination." Ma Tao sneered and complained.
"So you are still too young, have little knowledge, and don't understand the world, let alone miracles?"
Hong Debiao stopped in front of the pile of bones and did not see any movement. The pile of bones suddenly rose into pale flames, like a blazing bonfire.
This bonfire did not emit any heat. Instead, the pale soul fire continuously extracted free energy from the surrounding space, including heat energy, elemental magic and negative energy.
The hotter the fire burned, the lower the temperature in the tomb, and the more the bones used as firewood shone, and even moved slightly, making a clicking sound, which made people's scalp numb.
Gao Fei had a premonition that the situation was not good, and winked at his companions, signaling everyone to take action quickly before Hong Debiao completed the soul-calling ceremony!
This is certainly a wise decision, but unfortunately there is a slight flaw - Hong Debiao still has hostages in his hands!
"Don't move!"
Hong Debiao shouted angrily.
"Whoever dares to act recklessly will risk the life of someone named Wu!"
After looking at Wu Xiaoqian, Gao Fei reluctantly paused his spell casting.
Ma Tao, Jiang Feng and Wang Daqing were also forced to lay down their weapons.
"Very good, now I will show you the miracle, so that you can die convinced."
Hong Debiao started going crazy again and talking to himself.
"What is a miracle? The resurrection of the dead is a miracle!"
"1 Corinthians 15:52: In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, when the trumpet sounds for the last time. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we will be changed!"
"1 Thessalonians 4:16: For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet of God; and the dead in Christ will rise first!"
Hong Debiao faced the fire of bones, raised his arms, and recited scriptures enthusiastically.
Gao Fei knew that this "Aisin Gioro De Biao" who claimed to be the reincarnation of Jesus Christ had at least ten years of missionary experience, so it was not surprising that he quoted scriptures.
However, in the blink of an eye, this lunatic seamlessly connected from the Western Bible to Eastern Buddhism... He has mastered both Chinese and Western knowledge.
"All sentient beings in the world will be rewarded for their good and evil deeds. This is called the six paths of reincarnation!"
"The way of heaven, the way of humanity, the way of Asura!"
"The realm of animals, the realm of hell, and... the realm of hungry ghosts!"
"Come out! My hungry servants!"
Hong Debiao raised his arms and roared, finally ending this hysterical speech.
At the same time, the pile of pale demonic fire in front of him suddenly went out, as if it had converged into countless broken bones.
The pile of bones made a dense clicking sound, twisting and squirming around, like a giant jellyfish spreading its body.
Among the large pile of skeletons awakened by Hong Debiao, the most conspicuous ones were the severed hands with jagged bones and sharp nails, crawling quickly against the ground like spiders.
The scene before him brought back memories of Gao Fei.
Isn't the "ghost claw" found in the empty coffin not long ago exactly the same as the skeletal claw seen now?
However, he soon realized that the ghost claws were just individual microscopic undead creatures, and the skeletal claws opposite were part of the whole.
This "whole" is composed of countless activated bone fragments similar to ghost claws, similar to a "death beetle swarm", which is what Hong Debiao calls "hungry ghosts".
To be precise, it should be called a "hungry ghost cluster"!
The ghost claws that Gao Fei and the others encountered before were just an insignificant "residue" in the "hungry ghost cluster".
Vader Laboratory once put forward a conjecture, suspecting that Ghost Claw was an experiment and by-product created by Hong Debiao in order to refine more powerful undead creatures.
Now this conjecture has been confirmed.
“All things are created to nourish people, and people have nothing to repay to Heaven!”
"Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill!"
Hong Debiao roared out the word "kill" seven times in a row, and the hungry ghosts were driven by this murderous command. Like rolling waves, they rushed straight to where Gao Fei and others were and swept over them.
As if he believed that they would not escape death, Hong Debiao laughed wildly and turned his back. He took the two iron corpse bodyguards and the kidnapped Wu Xianyun, passed through the back door of the tomb, and quickly disappeared into the depths of the dark and deep tomb passage.
The cluster of hungry ghosts left here by Hong Debiao, driven by the instinct to hunt for life, rolled towards Gao Fei and others.
What followed was the "aura of fear" radiated by the monster, as well as the supernatural noise made when the bone fragments rubbed together, which made people panic and confused.
"Come closer to me!"
Wang Daqing held a large shield at the front of the team and loudly reminded his companions.
Everyone quickly approached Wang Daqing and received the protection of the "Light of Courage", which removed the fear that was weighing on their chests and making them breathless.
Unfortunately, the "Aura of Courage" can only fight against the "Aura of Fear", but it cannot stop the disturbing noise of a cluster of hungry ghosts.
Ma Tao wanted to give Wang Daqing the blessing of "protection from evil", but was distracted by the noise.
Gritting his teeth and resisting the headache caused by the backlash of magic power, Ma Tao picked up his shotgun and fired two shots at the approaching group of hungry ghosts.
Based on past experience, swarming creatures are immune to single attacks, but when attacked by a group, they will suffer double damage.
The shotgun is of course a group attack weapon, so it is logically very suitable for dealing with swarms of hungry ghosts.
However, this monster, which is composed of countless bone fragments, has surprisingly high agility attributes and seems to be good at "reflex dodge". It dispersed on its own the moment the iron sand bombarded it, and passed the reflex save and was almost unharmed.
Two consecutive shots missed, and cold sweat broke out on Ma Tao's forehead.
"ringa!"
Gao Fei raised the "Frost Star Wand", chanted a mantra symbolizing "cold", and blasted a "Frost Nova" towards the area where the hungry ghosts were densest.
Bang!
A cold snap broke out and frost spread all over the place.
However, the swarm of hungry ghosts spread out in all directions first, passing the reflex save and perfectly avoiding the bombing of "Frost Nova".
Shotguns and group attack magic were ineffective. Seeing that the swarm of hungry ghosts was approaching his feet, Gao Fei quickly made a gesture to urge his companions to evacuate the tomb while he stayed at the end and closed the door of the tomb.
It is not too late to block the cluster of hungry ghosts in the tomb first, and then slowly think of ways to deal with this monster.
After all, Wang Daqing, Ma Tao and Jiang Feng were his old partners. Although they didn't agree with Gao Fei staying alone and taking risks, they still respected his leadership authority at the critical moment and evacuated quickly.
