Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 1624: Evil Chanting
[What the hell? What’s going on?! ]

At this moment, the sudden situation occurring on the battlefield below made Zhou Xu, who was flying in the air, stunned.

When Saint Laurent I led his troops to attack Copperforge Fort, he felt that the other party had a problem with his brain. Has he finally gone completely crazy now?

Even though he complained in his heart, Zhou Xu did not stop controlling the water snake at all, and controlled the water snake to strangle Saint Laurent I.

At the same time, a large amount of sticky blood from the broken head of Adolf continued to spill onto the ground in front of Saint Laurent I. As it continued to flow, it quickly formed symbols one after another.

Faced with the water snake that was strangling him, Saint Laurent I simply ignored it and continued to chant his evil song, allowing Zhou Xu to control the water snake and tie up his body.

Without the protection of shields and armor, Saint Laurent I's flesh and blood body was quickly twisted and deformed by the stirring of the water snakes.

With a 'crack' sound, Saint Laurent I's neck was twisted off on the spot and hung at a strange angle, leaving only the flesh on the surface, still connecting the head and body.

However, even in this state, Saint Laurent I did not stop talking, and strange tones continued to come out of his mouth.

Gradually, his mouth, nostrils and other orifices began to ooze dark red plasma, just like his eyes.

During this time, his body began to swell as if with edema, and it seemed as if something was wriggling under the skin, or inside the body, and the amplitude of the wriggling began to become larger and larger.

As the last note came out of his mouth, the next moment, there was a loud bang, and Saint Laurent I's overwhelmed body completely exploded.

At that moment, there was no solid object in his body. Bones, muscles, internal organs, or anything else were all twisted into a sticky dark red slurry.

Along with the impact of the explosion, the dark red slurry splashed onto the ground with a "pop" sound.

From Zhou Xu's perspective, looking down from a high vantage point, the splashing plasma directly formed a huge dark red magic circle!
As a sacrifice, Saint Laurent I of the Zongheng Realm, plus Marshal Adolf who is at the peak of the Vajra Realm, is undoubtedly a bit too luxurious.

This caused the dark red magic circle to expand rapidly!
Just at this moment, the cavalry unit of the Saint Laurent Empire had already rushed to the front.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang..."

Almost at the moment they were covered by the dark red magic circle, the Saint Roland cavalrymen who rushed in exploded one after another, turning into balls of blood mist, which were absorbed by the dark red magic circle, making it expand even faster!

[Is this... summoning a corpse demon?! ]

This was not the first time Zhou Xu had seen such a scene, nor was it the first time he had faced a corpse demon.

At this moment, he suddenly understood why Saint Laurent I suddenly had a brain storm. It turned out that some guys were secretly doing something behind the scenes!

As his thoughts raced, Zhou Xu began chanting the mantra without saying a word, and directly raised a huge wave out of thin air, which swept towards the summoning circle along the ground.

He didn't have similar means before, but now he wants to try whether he can use the mantra spell of "Giant Waves" to directly wash away the summoning circle on the ground, commonly known as interrupting the casting!
It's too late, but it's soon.

The huge wave swept past quickly, but the summoning circle that was emitting bloody light was not affected at all.

This situation made Zhou Xu's face darken.

In Zhou Xu's current view, the corpse demon is not scary.

But if this summoning formation covers their Yuancheng as well, or if the corpse demons that come out start devouring the people of Yuancheng, that would be a very troublesome situation.

"Shi Lei! Take everyone and evacuate immediately!"

There was no time to think about it. Zhou Xu quickly controlled his soul body and flew to the top of the wall, signaling Shi Lei to evacuate quickly. After that, he turned his head and looked at the Saint Laurent army that had already pressed outside the city.

Those guys weren't stupid. Looking at the bloody summoning circle, they all realized that something was wrong and turned around to run back.

This actually saves Zhou Xu a lot of trouble.

After all, the more it devours, the stronger the corpse demon it summons will be. Zhou Xu doesn't want to add trouble to himself, so the less the corpse demon devours, the better.

But he couldn't really stop it, and there was nothing he could do.

At this moment, since it is impossible to interrupt the summoning of the summoning circle, we can only prepare to deal with the next appearance of the corpse demon.

With this thought in mind, Zhou Xu controlled his soul body and began to meditate directly above Yuancheng.

Needless to say, he had to absorb the natural energy within a long range and restore as much mana as possible in his body at the fastest speed.

【Huh? 】

In this state, Zhou Xu soon discovered that countless silk threads symbolizing his believers were connected to his soul body, and along those silk threads, energy was actually being transmitted towards him!
This may not be quite right. The believers will generate energy and then transmit it to him along the silk thread. Zhou Xu had already discovered this when he was studying the soul body and silk thread.

It’s just that the energy naturally produced by the believers at that time was basically so small that it could be directly ignored.

And now, Zhou Xu suddenly discovered that while he was absorbing natural energy, he could also follow these silk threads and absorb energy from the believers!
Although this amount is still insignificant for Zhou Xu, a mage in the out-of-body state, it is much more considerable compared to the energy produced naturally.

Under this premise, the New Taipei City area, as the stronghold of the state religion, has many believers.

Even though the energy absorbed from one believer is very small, if the energy from a large number of believers is gathered together, it will be considerable.

He really hadn't noticed this before.

After all, when Zhou Xu was in the country, he did not absorb natural energy at all, because this action itself would affect the natural environment of an entire area.

This is an emergency situation and there is no other choice. Compared with the harm that the corpse demon may cause later, this is a small matter.

During this period, the people who were evacuating from Yuancheng seemed to have sensed something, and their faces became pious...

"Praise the Emperor!"

"The Emperor is with us!"

For a while, words similar to prayers were heard everywhere in the New Taipei City.

Zhou Xu tried his best to absorb natural energy and the energy supplied by the people to recover, until a strange wave suddenly spread.

Sensing the strange aura contained in the weird fluctuations, Zhou Xu's heart began to beat wildly and he suddenly opened his eyes.

The next second, a dark red humanoid creature crawled out from the center of the summoning circle.

Compared with the corpse demons seen before, this dark red humanoid creature was not particularly huge, and was estimated to be only about three meters tall.

On the top of its head grew a pair of sharp horns like those of an evil spirit, its mouth was open and filled with jagged fangs, and its eyes were scarlet and violent!
