Lin Li could even clearly tell that the strange crystal was getting hotter and hotter as the wisps of black mist surged into it. In the end, it was even a little scalding …
Unfortunately, there was no time for him to study it now.
The battle between the two forces of the Undead had completely entered a white-hot stage.
There were more and more Skeletal Warriors, and they were like a surging tide, constantly crashing against the sturdy dam. On the other side, the high-level Undead creatures relied on their powerful strength to resist the impact of the tide again and again. Countless Skeletal Warriors fell almost every second, and at the same time, countless more Skeletal Warriors climbed out from the ground.
Under the cover of the Death Knights, hundreds of Hell Ghouls were emitting a strong death aura. The magical crystal on the white bone staff kept flashing, and Necromagic after Necromagic smashed into the group of Skeletal Warriors like hail. Large groups of low-level Vampires fell from the sky, and revealed their sharp claws and teeth in the group of Skeletal Warriors …
Lin Li was almost driven mad by them. If this battle were to continue, he would inevitably be implicated no matter how well he hid.
But …
There were Undead creatures in all directions now, and there was no way out. Not to mention escaping from the Shadowglen, even if they followed the original plan and circled around the depths of the Shadowglen, there was no chance. There were Undead creatures all around, and there was a large number of low-level Vampires in the sky. Who would dare to rush out at this time? Not to mention escaping, it would be considered a win if they could run 10 steps without being discovered!
After thinking about it, Lin Li finally gritted his teeth, and took out six bottles of yellow potion from his pocket.
"One bottle per person."
Mason and Orrin were familiar with the inside story. Once they saw Lin Li take out the potion, they knew that he had already thought of a way. After receiving the potion, they naturally did not ask anything, and directly poured it into their mouths. However, Larry, who was at the side, looked puzzled. "What … What is this?"
"Petrifying Potion, good stuff that can turn oneself into stone." This was a life-saving item. Back in Jarrosus City, he'd secretly obtained a few bottles. Because he didn't have many Flowers of the Stone on hand, Lin Li couldn't bear to use them. Who knew he'd take out six bottles today …
If he had known earlier, he would have gotten more Void Flowers and concocted eight or ten bottles of Concealment Potions. Then, he could have swaggered past these Undead creatures. He wouldn't have needed to take out the Petrifying Potion …
"…"
Upon hearing the name "Petrifying Potion," Mason's expression froze …
"Are … are you kidding me …?" Mason stuttered. "This … this Petrifying Potion, will it really turn me into stone?"
"Of course, I would never take out fake medicine!" Lin Li answered with a face full of certainty.
"…" Mason really wanted to bang his head against the wall. He thought to himself, I can't wait for you to take out fake medicine. What Petrifying Potion? Turning you into stone after drinking it? It's definitely not something good. Why am I so unlucky? I drank it without even asking. It's over, it's all over …
"Don't tremble … There's nothing to be afraid of. This is a Petrifying Potion, not a Petrifying Potion. After drinking it, you'll only look like a stone. In fact, Mason is still Mason …"
"Oh, oh …" After hearing Lin Li's explanation, Mason was finally relieved.
Larry, who was at the side, also nodded his head. He opened the bottle and gulped it down.
"This time, I can only rely on luck …" Lin Li drank the Petrifying Potion, and looked at the battlefield in the distance. "If I'm lucky, I can drag it out until the end of this battle. If not … I can only teleport back."
"…"
After drinking a bottle of Petrifying Potion, everyone simultaneously felt as if there was a layer of something spreading on their bodies. It became thicker and thicker until it gradually condensed into a thick layer of stone. It felt as if they were wearing a heavy armor. When this heavy armor finally covered their entire bodies, even their senses seemed to have become dull. The sounds coming from the battlefield became softer and softer, and finally, it was completely silent. Although the scenery in front of them was still clear, it was limited to the vicinity of the battlefield. As for places further away, it seemed to be separated by something, and they could not see anything at all …
The thick rotting smell disappeared. Everyone even felt as if they were not breathing at all. They were just quietly hiding under the cliff, just like a real stone …
In fact, except for the last bit of consciousness, they were really no different from a stone.
Now, not to mention an Undead creature, even if a human approached them, they would most likely only feel surprised. "Eh, why do these stones look so much like humans …"
After their senses became dull, even time seemed to pass very quickly. They drank the Petrifying Potion in the morning, and it felt as if not much time had passed. Night had already fallen.
The battle between the two Undead forces was nearing its end. The endless Skeletal Warriors finally used their terrifying advantage in numbers to completely defeat the group of high-level Undead creatures. They were approaching the depths of the Shadowglen step by step.
Countless Undead creatures fell, and black fog continuously gushed out of their bodies. It followed a trail that could be seen with the naked eye, and continuously surged towards Lin Li. The crystal in his pocket was so hot that Lin Li even felt that if he had not drunk the Petrifying Potion, he would have been scalded by this crystal.
When the sky was completely dark, the last Death Knight was completely drowned in the sea of Skeletal Warriors along with the whine of the skeletal warhorse.
The battle was completely over …
As if driven by some kind of force, the endless Skeletal Warriors began to slowly surge towards the depths of the Shadowglen while stepping on the corpses of high-level Undead creatures.
After witnessing the last Skeletal Warrior disappear with their own eyes, the people who were in a state of petrification finally heaved a long sigh of relief in their hearts — they were saved!
Lin Li was the first to remove the state of petrification. He moved his limbs that were severely numb from being petrified for a long time, and then hurriedly took out the crystal from his pocket.
"Sss …" The crystal was indeed hot. Lin Li had just taken it out when he was so scalded that he had to hurriedly throw it away. That heat was like a red-hot soldering iron, and Lin Li felt that he had definitely been scalded …
"This damn thing …" Lin Li cursed, and desperately blew a few breaths of cold air on his hands. That heat was indeed very hot, but when he raised his hands in front of him, Lin Li felt that something was wrong. There was not even a trace of redness on his hands, and it did not look like he had just been scalded by a soldering iron.
The crystal was still the same, and nothing seemed to have changed. It was lying quietly on the ground, and continued to absorb wisps of black fog …
"Could it be an illusion just now?" Lin Li did not believe in heresy. He bent down again, and wanted to pick up the crystal and put it back into his pocket. But just as he stretched out his hand, he retracted it because of the heat. He could not help but be flustered and exasperated. "Illusion your mother's watermelon …"
After cursing, and just as he was about to open the Ring of Endless Storm to put the crystal in, a shrill laughter suddenly came from the sky.
"F * ck!" Before Lin Li could raise his head, Mason had already screamed behind him.
Not only Mason, but almost everyone was stunned at this moment …
A huge bat was flapping its fleshy wings, emitting a terrifying aura in the sky. It had blood-red fangs, and a blood-red body. Under the full moon, it was like a legendary demon.
"Vampires …" Mason almost squeezed these words out of his throat. His voice was dry and filled with fear. Even he was surprised by it.
"And it's a high-ranking one …" Lin Li subconsciously swallowed his saliva, and helped Mason to add this sentence.
"…"
Looking at the blood-red figure, almost everyone wanted to ask: What day is today? Mason even wondered if that unlucky fellow, Larry, had infected him …
Otherwise, why would the trial mission, which had been smooth all along, suddenly become so bumpy after meeting these three unlucky fellows? It was already disharmonious enough that they were forced to watch the war of the Undead. Now, there was a high-ranking Vampire. How could they live?
"Good evening, human …" The huge blood-red bat greeted politely in the sky. Perhaps it was because it had not used the common language for a long time, its voice was abnormally dry, like the sound of glass rubbing against each other. It gave people goosebumps.
"…" Hearing this polite greeting, Lin Li's heart tightened. When he was in the Sunset Mountains, Andoine had told him some stories about Vampires. According to the old man, Vampires above level-15 could transform into red bats, and Vampires above level-18 could master a few languages, including the common language spoken by humans. When they reached level-20, they could even become like real humans, unafraid of sunlight and holy objects. Other than the purest Divine Power, there were very few things that could truly restrain them. This type of Vampires was the Blood Clan that was often mentioned in the legends of Anril …
Being able to use the common language meant that this Vampire was at least level-18 …
