Chapter 1047 1029 Duoguerdu
Chapter 1047 1029. Dol Guldur
The closer you get to this old castle, the heavier the ominous and depressing atmosphere becomes.
It is a stone building complex built on a hill, and you can vaguely see how tall and majestic it once was.
But as thousands of years pass, even stone castles will decay and collapse.
In Dol Guldur today, the entire building does not have a decent roof, only vertical walls and the remnants of floors that have barely collapsed.
The closer the trees in the Mirkwood get to here, the more hideous they look.
The dry and twisted branches seem to be craving for something, and the branches of the strange trees on the hillside are all stretching towards Dol Guldur.
Although they are in the same forest, Dol Guldur is always shrouded in thick and opaque clouds.
When they arrived at the foot of the mountain where Dol Guldur was located, even Lan felt a sense of anxiety and panic for no reason.
"We." Radagast swallowed his saliva and clenched the staff in his hand. "We have to leave the car and the Qilin here, so that we can get out quickly when necessary."
Although he was trembling with nervousness, he still insisted on entering this chilling old castle.
Lane nodded.
"Flannel ball, you stay too."
"Meow?"
Lane explained: "Protect the rabbits with Qilin, something may rush out and eat them at any time."
The kitten received the task and immediately held his head high and raised his plundering knife to his head towards Lan, showing his reliability to the boss.
Radagast looked at Lan and said nothing more. He raised his wand forward cautiously and led the way towards Dol Guldur.
The entrance to the old castle is a solid and heavy stone bridge without any guardrails. The width is only two people side by side, and below is a dark abyss.
The malice of this building reminds Lan of the dim and lightless world of fire.
Continuing to walk in, because of the large-scale collapse of the roof, the entire building has become a strange scene with only many stairs interlaced in the air.
Every corner of the building has steel spikes, and the vines clinging to the wall are just like thorns. Even if you just walk past any place at the speed of walking, you will be scraped off a layer of skin without armor.
It seems that the whole old castle can't wait to hurt every creature that approaches.
The closer you get, the stronger the malice and the sense of oppression from the spirit.
Lan En watched from behind, and Radagast's legs and feet, which were originally agile and powerful, and more agile than those of young people, were trembling slightly at this time.
The demon hunter did not mean to look down on Radagast's performance.
He is one of the only five wizards in Middle-earth. If he can feel something deeper than the demon hunter, and then be more frightened and affected, then Lan En has no reason not to believe it.
"I'm behind you."
Lan En said in a deep voice from behind. This stable and rational voice made Radagast feel the support from behind.
His steps became much more steady.
But at this moment, the two had just walked through a helpless suspended staircase.
Lan En's ears trembled slightly, and then he turned back in an instant with vigilance!
On the transfer platform in the middle of the stairs, there stood a human-shaped sculpture about four meters high.
The sculpture image was a gloomy human warrior, with his hands wearing gauntlets holding the hilt of a sword, and the long sword was sticking on the ground in front of him.
And in Lan En's hearing just now, he heard a sound of gauntlets holding the hilt of a sword.
Demon hunters will not be like the protagonists in horror movies, who, in the mood of luck and not daring to face the terrifying reality, regard the tiny movements they hear as hallucinations and illusions.
Objectively existing dangers will not really disappear because of ridiculous actions like covering one's ears and stealing a bell. Not facing it because of luck can only make oneself die more miserably.
'Image analysis is in progress.'
There is no need to say more about the tacit understanding between Mentos and the subject. The moment Lan En turned his head to look over, it had already begun to retrieve the memory picture.
After a moment, the analysis result was clear.
The tightness of the grip of the hilt of the sword by this ‘statue’ has indeed changed!
It is movable!
Turning his head and confirming the biochemical intelligence brain were almost completed simultaneously. The moment Lan En glanced over, the image analysis of Mentos had already ended.
So from the outside, Lan En almost looked like a stress response. But in fact, every action of his was well-founded, following calm logic and tactical planning.
Turned around immediately after just passing the statue!
"Clang!"
A sharp explosion!
The sharp silver light pouring out from the waist, the upward Iai slash cut through the rock all the way, and the iron sword that was stuck in front of the statue!
The cross-section was extremely smooth and crisp, and it was transparent from front to back, almost making the upper half of the statue slide off the whole!
But Lan En, who made this cut, did not take it lightly.
Because a piercing chill bursting from another direction was making his hair stand on end!
The moving statue was just a pretense! The real malice came from other directions!
But fortunately, Lan En never regarded the evil in this world as a brainless monster.
His action was just a feint!
He didn't even have time to retract the Iai Slash that he had drawn upwards.
But the demon hunter's cat's eyes had already turned to another direction.
With his free left hand, he turned around and pulled him over without looking!
"Well?"
The collar of Radagast's tattered brown robe was pulled, and he himself turned around due to the force of the tug.
Lan En's series of actions just now were so fast that he hasn't reacted yet.
Radagast, who was already nervous, was even more confused and unable to react after being pulled from behind by Lan En.
With almost no reaction time at all, the wand he had been holding cautiously in front of him emitted white light under the burst of his power!
"ah!!!"
A scream that chilled people to the bone.
Lan En didn't know what the essence of a wizard was, but the white light emitted from Radagast's staff had an almost ethereal and distant sense of holiness.
No match for this crazy, sloppy old man who loves animals and eats mushrooms.
But for the things that attack, this is a great match!
The thing that attacked was covered in green smoke, with only its upper body condensed into a human shape.
It was a hideous image of a withered, decayed skull, with only a few sparse strands of hair still attached to the scalp, and a crown.
It also held a short sword in its hand.
Lan En's chill just now came from its approach!
Not only does this thing look like a ball of green smoke, but its light movements and appearance of being completely unaffected by inertia are also like flying smoke.
The white light emitted from the head of Radagast's wand seemed to have substantial thrust, pushing away the flying smoke.
And in mid-air, the human-shaped miserable green smoke had no inertia at all, and it rushed up again in an instant.
Lan En stretched out his left hand that was holding Radagast's collar forward, and the handprint he made sent out a shock wave.
[Alder's Seal]!
There was a roar of surging airflow. Logically speaking, Lan En's body has been strengthened many times, and there are Valyrian steel wires covering the muscle layer that have good magic conductivity.
The power of his seal is enough to lift up a layer of land in front of him!
But a moment later, in the fan-shaped area in front of Lan En's palm, the stone bricks laid on the floor of Dol Guldur did make a "knocking, clicking" sound as the stones were squeezed.
But that human-shaped ball of miserable green smoke seemed to be unable to feel the thrust of [Alder's Seal] at all!
Not even the slightest hindrance was encountered!
The vertical pupils in the demon hunter's pupils suddenly shrank into slits.
Immediately afterwards, his good on-the-spot adaptability prevented him from falling into panic and being at a loss.
The long knife in his right hand turned around, taking advantage of the moment when the opponent rushed towards him.
"boom!"
Light red fighting spirit exploded on the surface of the body!
[Lance Skills·Strengthened Defense]!
Hunters in the New World say they use long spears, but they are actually a combination of long spears and large shields. Their defensive performance is the best among the fourteen hunting weapons!
and
"Dang!"
Sparks exploded between the short sword and the long knife.
The witcher's eyes flashed with a look of 'Sure enough'.
Alondette, you can touch this thing!
Although it still feels a little weak and strange, as long as it can be touched.
"boom!"
The light red fighting spirit on the body turned from red to white the moment after receiving the attack!
[Lance skills·Defense and counterattack]!
The enemy's power is harnessed by the precision-operated fighting spirit, which in turn enhances his next attack.
The key to skill lies in timing.
The long sword that was originally blocking the short sword suddenly retracted, and then attacked again with far extraordinary speed and force!
The miserable green smoke figure was slashed on the side by the Lake Girl's Sword. The huge force almost pressed it down and flew directly away!
If it can be cut effectively, this knife will be enough to end the battle.
Unfortunately, the feel still feels weak.
The opponent's way of moving without inertia was too flexible, and Lan En didn't dare to let it have a chance to breathe.
While the opponent was being chopped away, he rushed over.
The sword of the Lake Girl was pressed against her chest, the tip of the sword pressed against the opponent's neck and pushed forward!
But even so, the other party didn't appear to be substantially harmed.
Until Radagast finally woke up from the sudden change, he quickly picked up his staff and kept up with Lan En's rhythm.
Lann used the Sword of the Lake Lady to push against the opponent, while Radagast took the opportunity to rush the white light blooming from the wand towards the pale green smoke.
"ah!!!"
The shrill screams in the green smoke did not sound like human sounds.
Both Radagast and Lann's eardrums ached.
But the sloppy wizard still frowned and continued to increase the power of the white light blooming on the wand.
Finally, after a burst of screams, there was a 'ding, ding, clang', and the green smoke disappeared without a trace, leaving only a dark dagger lying on the stone brick floor.
