Shadow Covenant

Chapter 31 031 "Illusion Cards"

In front of him was a dark and deep underground passage, about half the height of a person, and he had to bend down to barely enter.

After confirming that the location of the missing little girl Lin was indeed transmitted through here, Woody was not in a hurry.

After all, in the abandoned circus, there are still wandering weak monsters, although now he has perfectly fooled this group of magical creatures who are accustomed to using their minds to detect their opponents through telepathy.

But if there is a battle below, whether it is the sound or the feedback, it may disturb them.

Therefore, Woody intends to clean up the surrounding bullying monsters one by one, so as to avoid being attacked by the enemy on the back and back after entering the tunnel, and being attacked by the bullying monsters on both sides.

But cleaning up also requires skill, fighting rashly will only attract all the weak monsters.

Woody still has no plans to fight with one enemy for the time being. Although he fights with two weapons and is not afraid of group battles, he always remembers the curse behind his neck. The rumors that Fengqiao heard today are still fresh in his memory. .

He can't get hurt!
Therefore, Woody, who is safe by nature, began to repeat the old tricks, and also used the newly acquired telepathy to deceive the weak monster.

Only this time his purpose was to attract and lure the monster to the grave he had chosen for it.

……

In the empty and desolate old street, the shadows shrouded the outline of the building in a layer of darkness, making it look more depressed and dead.

At this moment, a group of pitch-black shadows suddenly jumped from the huge shadow at the entrance of the circus like a cunning rabbit, and jumped into the darkness reflected by an abandoned wooden box on the street.

Then there were a few ups and downs, and the shadow jumped into the dark place of a residential building.

The house was small, and part of it was covered by the collapsed roof fragments, leaving only a small open space in the southeast corner.

In the shadows reflected by the beams that have not yet collapsed, suddenly there is an insect-like head covered with plant roots and black thorns under the skin-it is attracted by the call of the same kind.

Quite intelligent, it was still curious about what it was.

But when it saw the other corner of the hut that hadn't collapsed, and its companion was trying to stand still in the corner with a human with a sword, it immediately understood.

Humanity!

Their favorite humans.

If it is said that human beings' mating activities are for the purpose of procreating offspring, then the weak monsters will also have this desire after seeing humanoid creatures.

Rapiers transform humanoids through hours or days of mental torture, creating more of their own kind.

"Quick, I can't hold on anymore."

The signal sent to it by its companions has become very urgent, which means that it should attack this human being quickly.

Although the Weak Monster doesn't quite understand why his companions don't need to escape into the shadows, they can also see that they are already in a state of anxiety. They only need a little help from it, and the balance of battle will be tilted in their favor.

The recent luck is really good. First, a little human girl came. Although he failed to catch the two sahuagin, it is not bad to have another human boy now.

This time they will add two more of the same kind.

While thinking, this bully monster approached the human who was in the corner fighting with his own kind with the help of the shadow.

But when it approached and poked its head out of the shadows again to sneak attack, it froze immediately.

Because in the dark and dilapidated hut, the scene of a stalemate between human beings and their companions is just an appearance, viewed from the side.

The weak monster's body was leaning limply on two thick branches, while the humans were trying to maintain it.

Did it count?

The same kind has died?

With a quick mind, it immediately discovered that this was a trap aimed at it, but who sent the telepathic message?
But before it figured it out, the dust in the human's hand with the long sword turned into a fiery light.

It already knows the answer.

But it's useless now.

Its figure in the shadows was fully revealed by the light that filled the cabin.

What appeared at the same time was a cold light that was more dazzling than light.

The long sword swept across, and the blade came towards its very center.

At this moment, the crooked and twisted monster had no way out.

According to its uncomplicated combat experience, it first uses illusion to try to confuse it, and then uses its hands to parry.

Simple and effective.

The long sword was parried, and its illusion also worked.

But in the next second, as the human body rushed forward, a cold light appeared with the arrival of the human elbow in front of him.

It only felt a pain in its jaw, accompanied by severe pain, until its eyes went dark, and its consciousness fell into darkness.

One last thought.

"How is he not affected by my hallucinations."

……

"The shadow ambush was successfully launched and successfully hit the vital parts."

"Spurt launch."

"Successful thrust*4, causing 25 (+4) fatal damage to the target."

"Target is dead."

"Successfully kill the Weak Monster and get 112 experience points."

Woody pulled out the long-bladed dagger that had been inserted into the bully's head, and without wiping off the blood, he began to clean up the mess after the battle.

This is already the fifth one that he has seduced by repeating his tricks.

Another one will wipe out all the wandering weak monsters in the circus.

The smoothness of pulling the monster was within his expectations.

After all, bullies are not considered social creatures in some respects. They only like to gather together when they are torturing people.

Usually they hide in their respective corners, contemplating all kinds of weird, terrifying hallucinations, which are convenient for later use when torturing prey.

So he only needs to give a small call, such as the discovery of a brand new "human being" to be developed.

It is possible to seduce these weak monsters who seem to be "dead houses" at ordinary times, but can't hold back their evil thoughts of torturing human beings all the time.

Now all he has to do is follow the steps.

However, when cleaning up the corpse this time, Woody discovered something that he had never seen before, that is, there was actually a brass ring worn by a necklace on the body of the weak monster in front of him.

Although the costumes of the residents were still left on some of the weak monsters he killed before, he knew that they might be transformed into weak monsters, but this was Woody's first time to harvest accessories from them.

He took the ring from the corpse of the weak monster and looked at it in his hand.

The brass ring is like a thumb pull ring, and it is relatively wide, cold and thick in the hand, and engraved with occult patterns on the outside.

Woody felt the unusualness of this ring just by looking at it. After careful observation, he was even more surprised when he read the name behind the inner ring.

Because the name engraved in the common language on it is the cover of the black diary that Woody got in the drawer of the circus cabin.

Brendan Fraser.

The unlucky head of the circus who came to Old Street and rented the venue through the circus taming animals to carry out the work of excavating treasures.

Just after Woody pronounced the name, the brass-colored ring emitted a faint magical glow.

A small space of less than one cubic meter that he carried with him appeared in Woody's perception.

"Dimensional ring?"

This really surprised Woody.

After all, he never thought that entering the old street this time would yield magical objects worth at least 500 gold coins, and it was the most in-demand dimensional ring that could be put into it.

Put this dimensional ring on the black market, at least double it.

After all, this ring is not as easy to break as a dimensional bag. Although the space is a little small, it is more stable and not easy to lose.

Woody tried to explore inside with his consciousness, but found that there were still some things inside.

But they are all props for magic...

Woody probably knew what the circus master's housekeeping skills depended on.

But after Woody took out all the things in the ring, he saw a rather conspicuous box among a pile of small sundries.

The box is a little bigger than a palm, but it is extraordinarily delicate, and it is a bone product made of ivory.

It was very protective at first glance, Woody unscrewed the lock and opened the box.

I found a stack of not-thick cards on the yellow upholstered silk inside the wooden box.

The card is facing up on the back, with air-dried and cold sheepskin feel, and exquisite stars and arcane runes are painted on the back.

After Woody saw it, his pupils shrank slightly.

Because of these cards, he had also obtained them in his previous life.

This is... the favorite of collectors, the favorite of illusionists, and the toy of gamers.

Lesser magical wonders.
