When she heard this voice, Shia was more filled with doubts than surprise.
Halloween is a festival in the Kingdom of Night. It is said that on that day, the living and the dead will meet, and people will have the opportunity to see the dead. Of course, the dead cannot be resurrected. Even among the magicians of the Kingdom of Night, no one can refute this.
An iron rule.
This holiday soon evolved into a day for family gatherings. People would carve pumpkins into lanterns and hang them at the door to welcome the deceased family members. The pumpkin also became a symbol of Halloween.
Why does this insect queen know about Halloween?
Is it the effect of the pumpkin just now?
However, without leaving Shia any more time to be confused, she heard another voice.
"Halloween."
The sound came from a bug near the entrance to the hall.
That ugly, ferocious, and terrifying insect actually made vague, human-like speech sounds from its mouth.
"Halloween."
Another bug made a sound, and the sound was like a virus, spreading quickly.
"Halloween." "Halloween." "Halloween."
Halloween with different accents and sounds came and went, and for a while, the entire hall turned into a sea of Halloween.
"Are these bugs sharing their thoughts with the Queen?"
Shia reacted quickly.
Obviously, the current insect queen is controlled by Lu Jian using unknown means, and it is connected to these other insects in some way. Therefore, when the insect queen is affected, these insects will also be affected in the same way!
She understood that this might be her only chance in this life, and immediately condensed the spell in her palm.
Mystra's Void Explosion Technique is derived from the killing spell of a great mage from the Gray Tower. It can create a small area of explosion and is extremely powerful. The only drawback is that the trajectory speed is too slow. Under normal circumstances, as long as you are not a fool, you can do it.
Dodge, and therefore, this spell is rated by many as one of those spells that looks powerful but is actually useless.
What Shia is best at is this spell.
For her, there is no weakest spell, only the weakest mage.
As long as it is used properly, even this Void Explosion Technique can work wonders!
Just when Shia was about to throw the invisible meatball in her hand, a voice suddenly came from beside her.
"Halloween."
The one who spoke was a wilderness hunter who came in with Ju Wan.
His expression was numb, like a doll's, and his half-open mouth trembled slightly as he uttered those three words that made people go numb.
"Halloween."
Another survivor also spoke. His eyes were dull, like a lifeless skin.
Jumbo was a little surprised. He looked at the wilderness hunters who had just escaped from the swarm of insects with him, and saw the word Halloween popping out of their mouths.
Lai Meng immediately became vigilant. After a brief shock, anyone could understand an obvious fact: these people... were not human beings, but insects.
It's an insect controlled by the insect queen!
They disguised themselves as humans and followed him all the time!
Flame Heart immediately lit the torch in his hand, the crystals on his hand shone, and a ball of flame came to his palm.
"Halloween."
Another survivor made this creepy sound, echoing in the huge space along with the chorus of the insects.
"this......"
Iron Fist found it unbelievable that he could name each of these people, their origins, abilities, hobbies, likes and dislikes.
However, these things suddenly became illusory.
"Halloween."
The last survivor also shouted, shattering Iron Fist's illusions.
"Hey, you guys...what the hell are you?"
The giant arm's hands had begun to swell, and he distanced himself from Iron Fist and the others, staring warily at the wasteland hunters who were rereading Halloween.
"we are......"
Iron Fist wanted to explain, but the words he was about to say were stuck in his throat.
He wanted to say that he set out to search for the saint's remains for the sake of the prosperity of his city-state. He had a virtuous wife and a lovely daughter. He once fought several powerful insects in the wilderness and finally survived.
The ancestor once created a splendid civilization, and as a descendant, he wanted to recast this glory.
However, everything was pierced by a voice.
"Halloween."
Beside him, Wu Mian made a dull sound.
The crystallized half of his face had no expression, like a corpse, only repeating the same words.
"Halloween." "Halloween." "Halloween."
The entrance to the hall was also covered with such words.
Iron Fist struggled to stand up, and he stretched out his hand towards Shia and others.
He opened his mouth, wanting to ask for help, wanting to defend, wanting to overturn everything.
However, with thousands of words on his lips, he only condensed into one sentence.
"Halloween."
Iron Fist's expression became dull, rigid, and numb, and he made this sound.
Even Lu Tiao was a little surprised.
Unexpectedly, this group of wilderness hunters were all disguised as insects.
Even they themselves don't know that they are bugs, and they still do the same things as humans.
And behind these bugs, Lu Tiao didn't know whether there really was a wilderness hunter named Iron Fist.
"We have to get out of here quickly."
Lu Tan said.
Shia didn't wait for Lu Tan's next words, she had already thrown out the Void Explosion Technique in her hand.
Invisible spells floated towards the Insect Queen.
Lu Jian saw Yan Xin controlling the flames at the same time, burning the surrounding wilderness hunters who were repeating Halloween.
At a position where Lu Tiao couldn't see, an invisible spell hit the Insect Queen.
Bang——
In just an instant, the insect queen's head turned into a hole.
"Halloween!"
The insect swarm boiled instantly.
Those bugs began to fight each other and attack every living thing they could see.
The eyes of Jiumeng glowed with the light of gems, causing the surrounding insects to fall asleep. The giant arm pushed away the insects blocking the way and opened up a path.
"One more shot."
Lu Tan said.
Shia came to Lu Tiao's side, raised her hand and fired another Void Explosion Technique at the Insect Queen.
Bang——
The huge body and huge and bloated abdomen suddenly exploded, revealing the sarcophagus underneath.
The giant arm pushed open the sarcophagus.
In the sarcophagus lies a white skeleton.
The white bones had long since decayed, leaving only a dark gray and broken skeleton, and the crown on top of his head was dim and lost its color.
Even if he was once dressed in fine clothes, now he is just a pile of bones.
Saint, that's all.
Lu Jian saw a light blue crystal on the skeleton's chest.
He picked up the piece of crystal.
[Item Obtained: Remains of Saint]
[Task requirement: Obtain the treasure of the Nameless City 1/1]
In the field of vision, the corpses of those insects formed the cold and indifferent text of the system.
"Is this the remains of the saint?"
He didn't have much time to think and climbed directly onto the chain that bound the insect queen.
These chains are cold, heavy, seem to be made of special metal, and are difficult to destroy.
Lu Tiao walked last, and when Flame Heart burned the insects blocking the entrance of the cave with flames, they finally saw the sky again.
Bang——
The giant arm lifted up a broken piece of the building and pressed it directly against the entrance of the cave, temporarily curbing the influx of insects.
"We must leave as soon as possible."
Flameheart pointed in the direction of the camel. They were now in a corner of the city, which seemed to be the location where the swarm was launching their attack.
Lu Tan and Xia looked at each other. In fact, their mission had been completed up to this point.
As long as you choose to return, you can directly leave the foreign land and return to the original world.
After hesitating for a moment, Lu Tan was trying to find a reason to escape.
But suddenly, a voice came to his ears.
"...Halloween."
The old dream's expression became dull, and under the bright starlight, he blurted out.
