From the Abyss Invasion to the Blasting Star.

Chapter 276: Void Soul Stealing, S-level Magic Secret Book

The Dusk Mountains stretch from west to east across the land, like a black dragon looming in the mist.

The mountain is rocky, steep and strange, and the towering peaks are like barbs on the back of a black dragon.

Looking down at the Dusk Mountains from the sky, you can't see any monsters from the abyss or the undead.

All dangers are hidden in the fog.

Lu Heng and his two companions landed between the twin peaks of the Dusk Mountains and then headed west along the mountain range.

In areas not covered by fog, you can see some vegetation, all of which are nameless trees. The leaves of some trees emit a faint light.

Lin Zeyu looked around and brought up the topic: "I don't seem to see any demons or undead spirits. It's quite quiet."

"You will see it when you enter the foggy area." Lu Heng stopped and carved a mark on the rock with his sword.

With Su Muyu around, making marks is not necessary, it is just to be prepared.

Su Muyu let the Chongming bird fly into the fog, explored for a distance, and said, "The fog is very thick. Also, I feel that the level of the abyss monsters here will be higher than that of the desolate swamp. Be careful."

The Dusk Mountains are indeed one of the most dangerous places in the world of Quel'dorei. It would be even more dangerous if there were Abyss Recruits roaming in the Dusk Mountains.

Coupled with the lich Dionysus, this trip to Dusk Mountains can be said to be full of dangers.

"Let's walk along the edge of the fog and try not to go too far into the foggy area." Lu Heng decided to move forward along the outer area where the fog was thin, so that the chance of encountering difficult monsters would be lower.

This time, we entered the Dusk Mountains with only one purpose, which was to find the lich Dionysus.

Lu Heng took out the lich amulet, rubbed it with his fingers, and then stuffed it into his pocket.

……

After traveling for half a day, they did not encounter any undead units, but did encounter a few demons, which they killed and obtained an energy crystal core.

Other than that, it was a smooth journey.

"Didn't they say there were undead here? Why haven't I seen any? I want to see what it is that can move even after turning into a skeleton."

After walking all the way without encountering any decent targets, Lin Zeyu began to feel bored.

"There are only undead in the Dusk Mountains, but they are not everywhere. This world is still the world of elves. It is difficult for the undead to survive under the powerful magic of the elves, so they hide in the Dusk Mountains..."

Lu Heng reached out and touched the Lich Amulet in his pocket, and then said: "Also, the fact that we didn't encounter the undead is probably related to this Lich Amulet."

The Lich Amulet has a powerful aura of the undead, and also has the special effect of [Undead Command].

Even if low-level undead wanted to launch a surprise attack, they would immediately hide once they sensed the aura of the Lich Amulet.

"Then do you think the lich knows that we have entered the mountains?" Lin Zeyu asked another question.

"He should have known it, but whether he dares to come out is another question."

Since there are undead in this mountain range, and the lich is a high-level undead unit, as long as the undead can sense the aura of this amulet, it is equivalent to Dionysus knowing it.

"Maybe there are ghosts watching us in the fog right now." Lu Heng looked at the thick fog at the foot of the mountain, as if he could feel a strong sense of being watched.

Su Muyu's perception was stronger, and she added in a low voice: "I have been aware of the looming sense of being watched since half an hour ago, but I don't know where the other party is."

Lin Zeyu glared and said, "Even you can't find the other party? Is it so outrageous?"

Among the group of human superpowers, Su Muyu is definitely a unique perceiver at this stage.

However, people with special abilities have various ways of hiding, not just invisibility, so anything can happen.

If it is a monster from the abyss, it has more ways to hide, and the perceiver cannot cope with all situations.

Su Muyu then added: "Although there is a sense of being watched, this feeling is vague, and I was not sure whether it was an illusion at first. If Lu Heng also sensed the feeling of being watched, then it should be real. However, no energy fluctuations have been detected so far, and the other party has not yet taken any action."

[Energy Fluctuation Sensing] has no attack power, but the skill level can reach B level because this skill can sense energy fluctuations within two to three kilometers.

With this skill, if the beings lurking in the fog want to take action, it will inevitably cause energy fluctuations.

Su Muyu will sense it in advance.

"Since we feel like we're being watched, that means we've been targeted. Don't worry, let's keep moving forward and see if the thing in the fog will come out." Lu Heng said as he continued to move forward, intentionally keeping some distance from Su Muyu.

The three of them moved a little further apart, giving the being in the fog a chance to attack.

Su Muyu rode on the back of the mechanical tiger and observed the situation around him.

Another half hour passed.

Lu Heng felt that the feeling of being watched had not disappeared, and was always looming.

This thing was able to track for an hour and was not found by Su Muyu. It was obviously not an ordinary undead.

Lu Heng reached into his pocket, took out the lich amulet, held it in front of his eyes and looked at it. After confirming that there was no problem, he put it back into his pocket, then sat down against a rock, took out the drinking water and took a sip.

That's when.

A translucent hand stretched out from the rock, reached into Lu Heng's pocket, and took out the lich amulet.

Lu Heng reacted and slapped his hand down like lightning, trying to grab the thing.

At this moment, a space fluctuation suddenly occurred.

The translucent arm holding the lich amulet suddenly disappeared in the fluctuations of space.

Lu Heng's eyes widened, realizing that this was the ability to escape into the void, and he quickly shouted, "Go find it!"

Su Muyu had been paying attention to the situation around Lu Heng, so she noticed the moment the Lich Amulet was stolen.

The Chongming bird quickly circled around, but could not find the target: "It's gone! I can't see it!"

"It's the void ability!" Lu Heng has recognized the ability exerted by this thing, which also confirms the reason why he had not discovered this thing before.

This thing can hide in the void, and it can definitely walk in the void.

This ability is even stronger than Shadow Walking. It is like entering another void dimension. It is normal that it cannot be discovered.

That's when.

Lin Zeyu pointed in a direction and shouted, "Over there, hurry up and chase him, he's going really fast."

He shouted and ran in the direction of the finger, adding: "I just locked it with the Demon Hunter Mark, hehe..."

Demon Hunter's Mark is the ability of the Demon Hunter class, which can mark a target. No matter whether the target is invisible, changes its appearance, or disappears into the void, it cannot escape the mark.

Even with his eyes closed, the demon hunter can still see the location of the marked target.

This is the value of the Demon Hunter class. Moreover, when a marked target is attacked by a wounded Demon Hunter, the damage will be recorded by the mark. The Demon Hunter can detonate the mark at any time to cause the same damage.

Lu Heng immediately chased in the direction of Lin Zeyu, but after chasing for three kilometers, he still did not see this thing coming out of the void.

It is impossible for it to be an undead being able to hide in the void for so long.

Since it is not an undead, it should not be controlled by the lich Dionysus.

Lu Heng immediately thought of a strategy and said, "Wait a minute, Mu Yu turns invisible, we follow behind, we don't catch it, we use it as bait."

The three of them had been walking in the Dusk Mountains for most of the day, but the lich Dionysus had not appeared.

It is very likely that Dionysus sensed danger and was reluctant to show up.

After all, he had been killed by Tyrese once. If he was killed again, he would have to be resurrected from the life box and fall into a weak period after resurrection.

Although liches can be resurrected using their phylacteries, this is not a pleasant experience for them.

Moreover, the more times you are resurrected, the higher the chance that your life box will be discovered.

Therefore, liches tend to be cautious.

Upon hearing Lu Heng's order, Su Muyu immediately understood what it meant and opened an invisible force field to cover the three of them.

The three slowed down and followed the void thief.

Lin Zeyu was responsible for guiding the direction, keeping a distance of one kilometer and following slowly.

Since the Void Thief did not see the pursuers behind him, he thought he had shaken them off and slowed down.

I followed him for half an hour.

The void thief finally emerged from the void. It turned out to be an abyss monster without feet but with two claws, floating in the air.

If Lu Heng could see the appearance of this thing, he would be able to call out its name "Void Soul Stealer".

This is a very special abyss monster. Due to its special body structure, it can hide in the void for a long time, and even natural enemies find it difficult to harm them.

However, because of this special body structure, their ability to withstand attacks is very weak, and they will basically be blown up by a single attack.

With a special body structure and not much combat power, this Void Thief puts all its abilities into concealment.

Its concealment method is so strong that even Su Muyu cannot detect its existence.

It even dared to get close to Lu Heng and steal the lich amulet.

If it weren't for Lin Zeyu's [Monster Hunter's Mark] which could ignore the characteristics of the void and lock its position, it would have run away long ago.

Lin Zeyu pointed in the direction ahead and said, "That thing stopped, as if it was playing with our lich amulet." Just at this moment.

In Lin Zeyu's demon hunter vision, he saw the Void Soul Stealer suddenly fly backwards.

"It's been attacked!"

"Mu Yu!" Lu Heng moved, turned into a gust of wind, and shot out.

"I know." Su Muyu agreed, and the Chongming Bird turned into a stream of light and flew out, first arriving at the location of the Void Soul Stealer.

Then she saw what happened there.

"Lich! It's a lich! He stole the amulet. He is holding a magic book and casting a spell. It seems to be a space-related skill." Su Muyu reported the situation at a very fast speed.

"Interrupt him!" Lu Heng immediately reminded.

Su Muyu reacted quickly. Seeing that the lich was casting a space spell, he guessed that it might be an escape skill such as space movement.

If he uses it, it will disappear from its original location in an instant and will be difficult to find.

So she controlled the Chongming bird to dive up and attack with its claws.

The lich Dionysus raised his hand and opened a shadow shield to block the claws of the double-headed bird.

Immediately afterwards, flames burst out from the Chongming Bird and solar wind blew up.

The flames instantly engulfed the surrounding mountains. The vegetation, rocks, and low-level undead brought by the lich were all reduced to ashes in the flames.

Dionysus let out an angry roar and had to stop casting the spell. He raised the magic book high, condensed a magical energy, and smashed it hard on the ground.

Bang!
A shadow energy spread out like a wave, blocking the flames of the solar wind outside.

After pushing away the solar wind, he began to cast the spell again.

However, after such a delay, it is already too late.

Lu Heng rushed into the shadow energy circle with his feet on the gust of wind, and directly used his ultimate move to cut out a crack of sword light.

The sword light slashed out from the crack, destroying all matter.

The lich Dionysus was startled suddenly, and his figure flashed and disappeared from the spot, appearing ten meters away.

This is... a short-range teleportation ability, used to avoid attacks, but because the teleportation distance is too short, it is impossible to escape by using this ability.

After Lu Heng used up his Rift Slash, he did not hold back and immediately threw out his second ultimate move.

Dragon Breath Slash!
Roar!
The shadow of the Infernal Dragon emerged and let out a deafening roar.

The dragon flame sword gushed out, engulfing an area of ​​20 meters.

The lich Dionysus was enveloped in it, and having just used the teleportation skill from the magic secret book, he could no longer rely on teleportation to dodge.

He let out a leaky roar, raised the magic tome to create a shield, and took the dragon's breath attack.

The surging dragon flames and the shield of the magic book offset each other, and the energy surged, as if two energy tsunamis were colliding, setting off shock waves that crushed and spread in all directions.

The lich Dionysus gritted his teeth and uttered a deep, decayed voice: "Damn human! You can't kill me!"

He was indeed right. Even if the lich's body was destroyed, he could still be resurrected with the help of the life box.

What Lu Heng wanted was the magic secret book in his hand. According to Tyrese, this magic secret book was an S-level treasure that contained divine energy that could be extracted.

The two powerful moves have already brought out all the defensive skills of this lich, and one more fatal blow will be enough to take him down.

Lu Heng activated the [Wind Walker] skill and began to accumulate strength, preparing to try out the Wind Dragon's Breath Slash that he had practiced.

Although this sword technique has not been fully mastered, it does not mean that it cannot be used.

After the power of the gale was fully charged, Lu Heng shot out and rushed towards Dionysus, ready to use the Wind Dragon's Breathless Slash.

at this time.

The lich Dionysus held up the magic secret book, and two red lights shot out from his eyes. It was the [Death Ray of the Undead].

This lich's attack, once it hits, will immediately deprive the target of its life and transform it into an undead.

The moment Lu Heng saw the red light in his eyes, he recognized what this move was.

However, at this moment, Wind Walker's sprint had already erupted, as fast as lightning, and was about to collide with the undead death ray.

At this moment, Lu Heng mobilized the source energy in his body to perform [Void Flash]. His figure disappeared from the spot and appeared five meters to the left of Dionysus. He did not stop the sprinting action, but continued to maintain the sprinting speed, breaking into the melee range and slashing out the Wind Dragon's Breath Slash.

Bang!
With a sword, a wind dragon was slashed out, a howling wind appeared, and a wind dragon took shape, striking the earth, mountains, trees, and rocks.

Rocks with a diameter of one meter were blown into the sky, trees as big as bowls were uprooted, and in an instant, tornadoes filled the sky, cutting everything.

Ah!
Dionysus was swept into the sky by a tornado, and his body was covered with scars from being cut by wind blades.

Moreover, he recognized this move as Tyrese's famous stunt, which made him even angrier.

"Damn human! You were sent by Terius, so die!" He spoke words full of hatred, and in the howling wind, he opened his arms, wanting to unleash all the undead magic and kill the human in front of him.

His level was as high as level 38. If Lu Heng hadn't used his ultimate skills one after another, he would not have been hurt by the level 34 human at all.

At this moment, he was determined to kill the human in front of him, even at the cost of damaging his lich body.

That's when.

A sword light flew from the sky.

It was Tyrese's second sword skill, "Flying Dragon Tracer".

This is a skill of chasing into the air. After the Wind Dragon's Breathless Slash rolls the target into the air, the Soaring Dragon Tracer on the street will chase into the air with one sword and kill the target.

With this sword, the flying dragon Tracer flew from the sky and slashed into Dionysus' body, piercing his heart.

"what!"

The lich Dionysus let out a scream, and his body exploded, falling to the ground and slowly burning into ashes.

Lu Heng looked up at the sky and saw Tyrese slowly floating down, and thought to himself: You know how to grab kills.

However, since I saw him demonstrate the Shoulong and Tracer, I won't bother with him.

Lu Heng had the sword strike just now firmly engraved in his mind.

Even if this guy refuses to teach me, I can practice secretly when I go back.

With Wind Dragon's Last Breath as a foundation, practicing Flying Dragon Tracer will be relatively easier.

After Dionysus's lich body was cut off, Lu Heng saw the data prompt.

[Kill the lich Dionysus and absorb 6000 points of demonic energy. ]

[Energy level increased to level 35, all attributes +4, agility attribute additional +1.2]

升到35级之后，五维属性提升到了：力量90、敏捷115、体质90、精神95、感知90。

The agility attribute is 115.9. If you continue to train your body skills, it will soon be improved to an integer level.

Tyrese confirmed that Dionysus's lich body had been destroyed, laughed and said, "Finally killed this thing. Very good, you did a good job, but it's a pity that his phylactery can't be found."

Lu Heng walked over, picked up the magic book first, and took a look at its attributes.

[The Archmage's Magical Secret Book]

[Item Level: S-level]

[Specifications: length 22 cm, width 19 cm, weight 750 g]

[Attribute: Spirit +10]

[Special effects: energy amplification, element resistance]

[Energy Amplification: When consuming energy to cast a skill, the skill effect is increased by 10%, and arcane energy is absorbed from the surrounding environment, immediately restoring 10% of the energy consumed by the skill.]

[Elemental Resistance: The holder's resistance to elemental damage increases by 20%. ]

[Divine Skill: Arcane Warp]

[Arcane Warp: Use arcane energy to distort space, instantly teleporting the caster to any location within 10 meters. After teleporting, the caster gains a short-term speed bonus, increasing movement speed by 50% for 5 seconds.]

[Evaluation: This magic secret book that sparkles with brilliant light is a treasure passed down from generation to generation by the elven arcanists. It contains deep and pure arcane energy. It records countless forgotten ancient spells, as well as the supreme secrets that can distort reality and control the elements.]

Seeing the properties of this magic secret book, Lu Heng's eyes lit up.

The properties of this magic secret book are too powerful. It would be a pity to extract the divine energy inside.

According to the properties of this magic secret book, the part containing divine energy is [Arcane Warp].

If the divine energy is extracted, the [Arcane Warp] skill will no longer exist, and other attributes will most likely be reduced.

This means that after the divine energy is extracted, the level of this magic secret book will drop from S-level to A-level.
