Chapter 243 The Necromancer Who Bleeds from His Seven Orifices
…
Matthew took a quick glance and used the elimination method as usual.
"Body shape" is definitely the first one to be eliminated.
Matthew doesn't need to attract the opposite sex, let alone the same sex.
His charisma is already so high that he no longer looks like a mage.
There is no need to expand further in this area.
Moreover, the beautiful muscles have nothing but good looks, which is of no value to Matthew, who has always been pragmatic.
The ability "Night Owl" is actually very good.
It is naturally suitable for necromancers who often work all night.
It also has a very overbearing effect in enhancing the judgment of physical fitness.
The same goes for "powerful absorption".
This ability can give Matthew a chance to recover quickly.
in a protracted war.
This ability may come in handy.
Change to another situation.
Both options are likely to be chosen by Matthew.
But when he saw the last item.
The first two solid abilities were quickly forgotten by him.
Because "tree transformation" is a rarer and more precious ability!
For druids.
Wilderness forms abound, but most wilderness forms exist in the form of animals, and plants are extremely rare.
On the one hand, turning into a plant does not help in combat.
In terms of life, I'm afraid not many druids are willing to experience the life of plants.
After all, compared to the excitement of the animal world.
The plant world seems a lot deserted and lonely.
Therefore, similar abilities are not only rare, but also useless in the eyes of most people.
Unlike Matthew.
He is determined to take the road of life and death.
Plants are the majority in nature!
This is a point that is easily overlooked.
Because neither trees nor grass can make sounds on their own.
Matthew decisively acquired this ability!
After that, he can become a real oak tree and experience the life of a plant.
This process will help him explore and progress in the natural field.
Take ten thousand steps back.
Even the experience of turning into a plant was of no benefit to Matthew's spiritual practice.
Then he can at least produce some oak seeds himself.
Open your mind.
If you can't leave descendants on this planet in animal form.
Then it is not impossible to leave some descendants of plants.
Matthew's thinking gradually became somewhat divergent.
But soon.
His attention was once again focused on the data column.
"My physique has really become stronger..."
Matthew was very surprised.
Being riddled with all kinds of diseases is really a time-limited ability that is incredible!
No matter how dangerous the process is, it can directly improve physical fitness, which is a dream opportunity for most people!
After all, it is not easy to improve the 6 major attributes.
Especially non-professional related ones.
Take Matthew for example.
It is easier to improve his intelligence and perception.
But enhancing other attributes is very laborious.
Under normal channels.
Either spend money to follow the route of a krypton gold warrior like Margaret, and improve your own attributes through various enchantments;
Either you have to exercise consistently. The key is that this kind of exercise may not really improve your attributes. Sometimes it is just a kind of psychological comfort.
And like Matthew, he only needs hospital clothes to stimulate physical growth, which is a shortcut to heaven!
But he also knew it very well.
The reason why this ability seems so powerful is because of the care of the spores in his body.
Without Hussmann sharing his spore fields.
Matthew would never dare to take poison so recklessly.
Tarand is not a vegetarian either.
The poisonous sacs she created are so poisonous that even advanced druids must treat them with caution. Only Matthew, who has received the spore blessing, can act so randomly.
"So sometimes I have to go out more and make more weird friends. There will always be times when I can borrow some strength."
Matthew thought secretly in his heart.
His current physical fitness is 13 points, which is far higher than that of ordinary people and inferior to warriors of the same level, but he is already considered to be extremely strong among mages.
What's more, he also has negative energy transformation and life energy that can be released at any time.
This makes Matthew's physique a warrior among mages!
If it continues to improve.
When the time comes to change into a warrior's attire, people who don't know may really mistake him for a warrior!
Just think of this.
Matthew couldn't help but feel swayed.
"Plague rats and poison sacs are the sources of infection for plague and poison respectively. As long as they are cut off, Talande's final counterattack will fail!"
He said categorically to Ai Lan.
Ai Lan was still immersed in surprise.
She asked Matthew with a slight stutter:
"Are you okay?"
"Did you just use a magic trick? No, I can feel that you really ate that poison sac!"
"Did you prepare the antidote in advance?"
Winter Moon's eyes were full of curiosity.
Matthew smiled and made a joke:
"Maybe it's because we necromancers have a better appetite."
"I'll leave this to you first. I'll be responsible for cutting off the new source of infection!"
Said.
He immediately transformed into a raven, flew into the air, and searched frantically!
Poison sacs are easy to find.
Most of these plants grow on the walls of streets and alleys.
Its shape is a bit like an ivy.
However, there are no small white flowers on their bodies, only the tips or upper ends are dotted with poisonous sacs of various sizes.
The poison sac will expand itself.
When it expands to a certain extent, it will automatically explode, polluting the nearby air and water sources, and making the space full of poison.
Take a little longer.
The entire Cross City may become a city of poison and plague!
Naturally, Matthew would not sit idly by.
The raven flew over the wall, trying his best to find the poison sacs. Every time he saw one, he flew directly over and took a bite!
Bang!
Stab!
The sound of chewing poison sacs and the tearing sounds of ravens were heard constantly.
One poison sac after another was swallowed by Matthew.
Gradually.
It was as if a raging fire was burning in his belly.
Waves of heat flowed wildly through his body.
Matthew can sense it.
During this process, the spores became more active, and the spore field was also growing slowly.
And in comparison.
The improvement in one's own toxin resistance is not that obvious!
"In order to improve the resistance to toxins, one must resist the toxins and bear the damage. Only in this way can the attributes be greatly increased. But my current situation is that the poison sacs were decomposed and neutralized by the spores as soon as they were taken down. The body essentially did not withstand it.
The damage caused by toxins, so the corresponding resistance naturally does not increase."
Matthew reasoned.
This is somewhat of a pity.
However, compared to the dual improvements in physical fitness and spore fields, the slow progress in poison resistance does not affect Matthew's enthusiasm for work.
He searched every corner of the city like a greedy little raccoon.
Soon.
The poison sacs in the wolverine area were eaten clean by Matthew!
And when passing by a street corner.
He suddenly noticed a row of plague rats swaying through the market.
They attack roadside shops and try to bite pedestrians.
Their movements are extremely arrogant.
Many people who were close to or bitten by plague rats developed varying degrees of plague symptoms.
Matthew hesitated.
The next second.
The raven flapped its wings and flew past at high speed.
puff!
His powerful claws easily grabbed a plague rat, threw it into the air, and then tilted his head!
Snapped!
The raven swallowed the plague rat alive!
…
"Tip: If you swallow a plague rat, your body will be infected with the plague!
Your blessing "Spore's Care" is taking effect.
You decomposed the plague on the plague rat!
Fighting both poison and plague, the spores Hasman gave you become more active.
The effect of your temporary status "Suffering from All Diseases" has been improved——
in the next hour.
Each poison sac or plague rat you eat can bring you double benefits (including poison resistance, plague resistance and physical fitness improvement).
special.
You may experience varying degrees of negative reactions during this period.
But these negative reactions will not affect your life safety.
It is just the stress response produced by the living organism when it encounters traumatic signals."
…
"Double profit?"
Matthew's eyes lit up.
The nauseating discomfort I felt just now from swallowing the plague rat alive disappeared instantly.
He looked around the city with red eyes.
Not only the stationary poison sacs, but also the domineering plague rats, he was not going to let go of one!
"Everyone, go catch mice for me!"
Matthew gave the order harshly through the undead contract.
As soon as this statement came out.
All units on Undead Street have been moved.
Skeletons and zombies are still slowly looking for the cunning plague rat on every street corner.
And the ghosts roared out in a swarm, like well-trained pastoral cats, and started arresting mice everywhere!
For a while.
The scene became chaotic and somewhat comical.
People were surprised to see rats with red lights breaking into their homes, and even more surprised to see ghosts coming through the walls and taking away the rats by force.
And above the sky.
There is always a raven circling.
Every time a new poison sac appears.
The raven will fly down and snatch it away.
Gradually.
The previous panic became less severe.
The entire city's influence from the plague and toxin realm has also begun to decrease significantly.
In the sky.
In the Winter Moon, Ai Lan watched all this silently, with a thoughtful light in his eyes.
Then she concentrated.
Complete the space sealing technique.
"It should get better next, right?"
She glanced uncertainly in the direction of the Holly Oak.
…
Hollyoaks District.
Inside the sword and fire barrier.
Outside the Underground Sanctuary.
A group of druids gathered around a cesspool that was emitting light green gas. Everyone's expressions were very serious, and some had anger written on their faces.
Ever since the two archdruids entered the underground temple and suppressed the evil spirits left over from the dark age.
Druids from both conservative and radical factions gathered near this pond to engage in fierce battles on more than one occasion.
This pool is called Mirror Moon Pond.
In addition to its basic viewing function, it can also reflect the situation of Cross City in the natural field.
In the Mirror Moon Pond right now, sewage is flowing across the river and poisonous gas is flowing upward.
obviously.
The druids were not completely unaware of the dire situation in Cross City.
They even know all this better than the residents who don't know what's going on.
Just for one reason or another.
They are trapped here.
Because no one can convince anyone, the daily arguments seem to have become the same old tune.
"That child is still vomiting and having diarrhea!"
"Mirsin, Zirat, you should really go and see that child's vomit, what a terrifying poison it is!"
"We can use healing power to heal the scars on his body, but if we want to get rid of the toxins and plague on his body, we must use a large purification barrier!"
A man wearing animal skins and with a sturdy back was yelling at another group of people:
"Without our help, the civilians in Cross City would not have survived this disaster!"
"I never expect you to have the most basic kindness, but can you open that fucking barrier and let us go out and help?"
He was blushing and swearing.
There were many people behind him who echoed his words.
"Open the barrier and let us go!"
The conservative druids protested one after another.
The leader of the radical druid is a man with slender eyebrows and eyes.
His expression looked a little cold, and his eyes had vertical pupils, looking like a cold-blooded poisonous snake.
He said to the animal skin man calmly:
"Calm down Delon."
"Then where did you put the kid?"
Delong said angrily:
"According to your order, I locked him in a tree cage after completing the basic treatment. You can rest assured, he can't escape!"
"Fuck you Mirsin, you don't suspect that kid is a spy, do you?!"
Mirsin replied calmly:
"This possibility cannot be ruled out, so you have to keep an eye on him."
"You brought him back. You must do this. Otherwise, if something happens, you will not be able to bear the responsibility."
Delong looked fed up:
"I know that the Underground Sanctuary is above all else, and there resides the dying state of the soul of nature since the founding of the Earth Society..."
Mirsin interrupted:
"These spirits of nature have made great contributions to the Earth Society in history. They have sacrificed everything for us, and now they have become the targets of the gods. We should protect them. This task is higher in priority than anything else.
I thought you could figure it out."
Delong took a step forward:
"Stop pressing the soul of nature on me!"
"I believe that the remaining spirits of nature would support my choice if they knew all this."
"And I originally felt that it was against the laws of nature to forcibly imprison the spirit that is about to return to nature in a dying state in an underground temple!"
"If you are really worried that they will become vessels for the reincarnation of the gods, why not let them go?"
"Let them leave and let them return to nature!"
Hear this.
Everyone present fell silent.
Because within the Earth Society, the dying soul of nature is a topic that cannot be mentioned.
And DeLong clearly broke this taboo.
"Even if you are a Maple Leaf Druid, you are not qualified to violate the taboo."
Mirsin's eyes were even colder:
"Do you want to continue talking about this?"
Delong also seemed a little worried.
He was silent for a while and shook his head:
"Sorry, I didn't mean to question the Earth Spirit's decision."
"I just want to tell you that we should protect this city and not let it be destroyed."
"The mages of the Seven Saints Alliance have arrived, and they are working desperately to protect this city, but what about us? We once made an oath to the earth, and we should not abandon those mortals."
Mirsin said coldly:
"After experiencing the last incident, do you still have hope for the mages of the Seven Saints Alliance?"
"In the name of exterminating the Blight Cultists, they secretly want to sneak into our church and steal things..."
Delon also interrupted him:
"There is currently no evidence to prove that the two mages from the evaporation team appeared near the temple to steal things."
Mirsin seemed angry and laughed:
"Really? Then they may be attached to the scenery of the church."
Delong sighed:
"The mages are also a very complex group. At least the group of mages who came today are very sincere. One of them is Ms. Ai Lan of Winter Moon. You should know her reputation."
Mirsin nodded slightly:
"Winter Moon can indeed be trusted, but what about others?"
Delong said:
"There is also a necromancer. He summoned a large number of undead to protect our civilians."
Hear this.
All the druids complained a little:
"What?? Necromancer?"
"When did Cross City allow necromancers to enter?"
"Are you sure the undead he summoned weren't taking advantage of others?"
Face these rumors.
Delong responded angrily:
"At least they are saving people, but all you can do is ridicule them here!"
"Do you know why I'm so angry? Because even a necromancer cares more about the lives of the residents of Cross City than us druids who claim to be kind!"
"That necromancer named Matthew, he is doing his best to save this city. Go out and see what they are doing, Mirsin!"
"Winter Moon Ailan used space sealing to seal off the core area of Taland's power, while the necromancer Matthew was commanding his skeleton soldiers to help those being pursued by the Blight Cultists!"
"Yes, a damned necromancer is saving our Cross City, the holy city of druids!"
"Don't you feel a little ashamed?"
"Are we not even as good as a necromancer?"
He roared at the top of his lungs.
Facing Delong's impassioned questioning, Mirsin's eyes became a little complicated.
"I don't believe the Necromancer would be so kind."
he said persistently.
"Then let's go out and take a look, stand on the oak tree and take a look!"
"Use your eyes to see the outside world!"
Delong said loudly:
"I beg you, I implore you, go see what the necromancer is doing, and then think about what we should do!"
Mirsin narrowed his eyes:
"good."
"Let's go to the lookout."
The next second.
He turned into a canary, spread his wings and flew to high places.
The other druids also transformed into various flying animals and flew towards the top of the sacred oak tree.
Only Delong said to himself angrily:
"Damn it, you bullied me again for not having the flying animal transformation!"
During the conversation.
He turned into a black bear.
boom!
He jumped onto the tree, clung to the surface of the holly oak tree with his thick limbs, and then climbed up with great difficulty!
A group of druids came to the high point observation deck of Holy Oak.
from this angle.
They could overlook the whole city, and with just one glance, they could see the miserable scene in Cross City.
Many druids showed unbearable expressions.
Some people couldn't help but clenched their fists.
boom!
boom!
boom!
Not long after, Delong, who transformed into a black bear, climbed up with great effort. He transformed into a human again and asked breathlessly:
"Did you see it?!"
"No, I'm still looking."
Mirsin squinted his eyes and looked down:
"It's poison sacs, and there are rats that can spread the plague. Strangely, if it's Taland, he shouldn't need such an outdated medium to spread his territory, right?"
Delong said coldly:
"Outdated, but effective. If these things are not dealt with as soon as possible, then most of the residents of Cross City will be poisoned or caught up with the plague, and the city will disappear and become a dead city!"
Mirsin said nothing.
He considered the situation carefully.
suddenly.
Someone shouted:
"There seems to be someone there? Hey, it's strange. He should be a mage, but why did he turn into a raven?"
Mirsin moved his gaze:
"Magics always like to copy the abilities of the natural realm. Maybe they are substitute spells for the wild form that they copied from us."
During the conversation.
All the druids' eyes were fixed on the raven.
But he passed a wall.
When encountering a poison sac.
The latter actually opened his mouth and swallowed the poison sac in one mouthful!
"ah?!"
Everyone on the observation deck exclaimed in surprise.
"Why is he eating the poison sac?"
"Isn't he afraid of death?"
A druid exclaimed.
After a while.
They saw a few skeleton soldiers grabbing some plague rats and approaching them.
The raven did not hesitate, opened its mouth and clicked twice, swallowing all the plague rats into its stomach!
See this scene.
There was silence on the observation deck.
The brains of all the druids seemed to have shut down. Some people rubbed their eyes vigorously, unable to believe what was happening in front of them.
After a while.
The raven returned to human form.
His face looked very poor, with a faint cyan color underneath his fair complexion, which was obviously a sign of excessive poisoning!
"What is he doing? He will poison himself to death if he does this!"
This is the doubt that all druids have in mind.
"He needs treatment!"
Mirsin said coldly.
But at this moment.
Everyone was surprised to see a tauren skeleton coming over with a handful of ivy-like vines.
Those vines are covered with poisonous sacs, large and small.
These poison sacs are expanding rapidly. If not controlled, they may explode soon and pollute the nearby air.
Matthew saw this.
He stuffed all these poison sacs into his mouth without hesitation!
that moment.
A stream of heat spurted out of his nose.
My eyes also turned red!
I can even feel something hot in my cochlea!
This scene fell in the eyes of everyone at the observation deck.
They could clearly see that the mage was bleeding from all his orifices!
"The toxins he has ingested have far exceeded what normal humans can tolerate. Even if he has taken an antidote in advance or has an amazing resistance to toxins, he will die if he is not treated!"
Mirsin's voice could not help but contain a wave of fluctuation.
at this time.
They suddenly noticed that the mage with bleeding from all his orifices was saying something to the tauren skeleton next to him.
"What is he talking about? Please translate!"
Mirsin ordered a druid beside him who knew lip reading.
The man stared at Matthew and his voice came out:
"Hurry up, hurry up."
"I'm fine, bring them all over, I have to hurry up and eat them all!"
After saying these two sentences.
The eyes of the Druid who was responsible for the translation turned red instantly.
Delong even roared with tears in his eyes:
"Did you see that?!"
"A necromancer, in order to save the civilians of Cross City, is racing against time to devour poison sacs and plague rats!"
"He is even afraid that because he eats too slowly, the toxin will spread too quickly and cause more people to be harmed!"
"Why did he do this? Is he stupid? No, it's because the mages don't have better means of purification!"
"The Necromancer can do this, what about us?"
"Are we just going to watch him bleed from all his orifices and continue to use this stupid method to save this city!?"
He glared at the radical druids.
Many people turned away their heads in shame.
Mirsin took a deep look at Matthew who was still "eliminating" poison sacs and plague rats everywhere.
He finally said:
"Then I ask you to personally lead the team to activate the purification ritual prepared in advance in the city."
"But be careful not to bring anyone in when entering or leaving the barrier, do you understand?"
Delon got Mirsin's permission and suddenly looked ecstatic.
He turned around to get ready.
As a result, Mirsin grabbed him.
He quietly handed a bulging bag of things into Delong's hands:
"Bring it to that mage as a small token of my respect to him."
"Don't let him die."
Delong looked at Mirsin in surprise:
""Creation Potion"? This is something only a great druid can do..."
Mirsin made a gesture of silence.
"Go ahead."
He narrowed his eyes coldly:
"I have to go back and see the child you locked in the tree cage."
"To be honest, I don't trust what you are doing at all."
Delong angrily gestured at him with his middle finger:
"Luckily I've broken up with you, otherwise I would have been driven crazy by your nervous style sooner or later!"
Said.
He led some druids and began to make preparations for going out.
Mirsin glanced at Delon helplessly.
Then he walked silently towards the tree cage.
A few minutes later.
Mirsin looked at the sleeping guard and the empty tree cage.
His vertical pupils suddenly shrank.
…
"Tip: You have been continuously stimulated by a large amount of toxins and plague within an hour, and your physique has grown significantly!
Suffering from all kinds of diseases: your constitution is permanently +3!
You gain the ability "Strong Physique" in the Physique domain.
Strong Physique: When you take damage, you will gain an additional point of temporary toughness and temporary concentration."
…
"Faster, faster!"
"The double income period will expire soon..."
In the city.
Matthew tried his best to find the increasingly rare poison sacs and plague rats.
But just at this time.
He suddenly noticed a huge change in his breath.
"Um?"
"The druids opened the sword and fire enchantment? What do they want to do?"
Matthew looked wary.
at the same time.
There was also unexpected good news on his data column.
…
"Tip: Your partner Hibbert accidentally killed the Blight King!
Your mission "Suicide" has been completed!
You gained a lot of XP & Wild Form (Silver Dragon Transformation)!"
