Infinite Terror: This Middle Continent is Rebellious

Chapter 21 Spell Test
Murderous intent and the flow of air are the key points, but that doesn't mean these are the only important points.

For example, aura, presence, and sight are all quite mysterious things. It is not that you will not be discovered if you put on an invisibility cloak.

Wen Lie said to Zhao Yingkong, "This Undead Invisibility Technique is suitable for you. After all, you are a professional."

Zhao Yingkong nodded calmly.

As a genius assassin of the Zhao family, she would never make the mistakes that an amateur like Zheng Zha would make.

Zheng Zha scratched his head helplessly, turned to Qi Tengyi and asked, "What other spells are there with the same length as the Undead Invisibility Spell?"

Qi Teng flipped through the Black Book of the Dead and introduced the spells: "Corpse Art, which strengthens muscles, Curse of the Dead, which weakens strength, Mental Decay, which attacks the mind, Command the Undead, which controls corpses but can only be used at night, Mummy Guard, which summons by mixing ashes and sand, Suffocation, which sprays liquid energy into the enemy's face, Limb Atrophy, which cripples a limb..."

Wen Lie said, "Let's put aside the attack and summoning techniques for now and try this corpse flesh technique on me first."

Among so many spells, the only one that can enhance the human body is the Corpse Flesh Spell.

Upon hearing this, Zheng Zha, under Qi Tengyi's guidance, recited a difficult passage of ancient Egyptian.

Wen Lie felt his body slowly becoming stiff. He looked down and saw that his fair skin, which had been caused by years of not getting sun exposure, had now turned gray. Not only had the skin color changed, but that layer of skin seemed to have turned into thick keratin.

Wen Lie clenched his fists, and the sensitivity between his fingers decreased, and his flexibility also decreased a lot.

Wen Lie frowned and said unsatisfactorily, "Increase toughness but reduce flexibility? I don't know what the effect will be and whether it's worth the side effect."

Zhao Yingkong simply stretched out his fingers and slid his nails across Wen Lie's arm.

"It's a little itchy."

As Wen Lie was expressing his thoughts, he saw a long and thin mark appear where Zhao Yingkong's nails had slid past, and a pale line of blood faintly emerged, but no blood flowed out.

"Stronger than ordinary steel."

A hint of surprise flashed across Zhao Yingkong's beautiful eyes.

Her nails could easily cut through steel, but could only scratch the surface of Wen Lie's skin, which showed how hard Wen Lie's skin was now.

"The strength hasn't changed."

Wen Lie waved his arms a few times in the air. His arms swung in the night, but he could not feel much cold or wind.

"The skin becomes keratinized, and our perception of the outside world becomes somewhat dulled. Overall, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages."

The effect of the Corpse Flesh Technique lasted for five minutes. Zheng Zha felt the loss of the vampire's energy, which was about 5%.

Afterwards, Zheng Zha tried all the other short spells he could use and found that the loss was basically between one percent and one tenth.

Zheng Zha sighed with emotion: "From the effect point of view, it feels a little worse than Zhan Lan's enhanced mental power skill, but it can also be evaluated as a D-level spell. Should we say that it is indeed a product of the Lord God, and it must be a high-quality one?"

Zhan Lan's acceleration spell and mantra of endurance are the lowest-level spells from the Lord God, and their effect can provide a 30% increase to a second-level strongman.

Moreover, as someone who has never enhanced any attributes, she can casually cast the Mantra on six people without feeling any burden.

These characters in the Black Book of the Dead are single-digit spells, and few can achieve this level of effect.

After using spells with less than 10 characters, Zheng Zha tried spells with between 10 and 20 characters.

It took Zheng Zha thirteen seconds to recite the seventeen-character grave-digging and resurrection spell.

This spell's effect was to send tendrils of dark energy seeping into the ground, searching for the ancient corpse that had responded to the caster's call. Zheng Zha's vampire energy transformed into tendrils that seeped into the earth, exploring dozens of meters below. Half a minute later, a hole appeared in the ground, and a large, shrunken hand grasped the ground and climbed up.

The owner of the shriveled hand was a giant who was almost two meters tall. His body was wrapped in old white cloth, some parts of which were torn from the inside, exposing his skin and limbs. His dark brown skin was like that of a zombie, and he looked very tough.

Zhao Yingkong poked the ancient corpse with his nails, and Wen Lie quickly grabbed Zhao Yingkong's arm.

"Don't do that, it's disgusting."

Wen Lie would feel disgusted if he stuck his fingernails into a corpse that was thousands of years old, even if it was washed clean, even though the fingernails were not his.

Zhao Yingkong glanced at Wen Lie coldly, and Zhan Lan also said quickly: "Yingkong, don't always use your nails, just use weapons."

Zhao Yingkong said coldly, "Let go."

Wen Lie shrugged and obediently let go of his hand.

Zhao Yingkong put down his hand and withdrew the slightly dangerous look from Wen Lie.

Zheng Zha took out a high-vibration particle cutting dagger and stabbed the ancient corpse he summoned.

The tip of the dagger pierced through the skin of the ancient corpse and only penetrated halfway before it felt the resistance of the bones.

"The muscles are very strong, and they have the ability to use corpse flesh? Without activating the gene lock, I would have to use all my strength to cut the bones."

Zheng Zha said as he exerted force.

The high-vibration particle cutting dagger was inserted into the bones of the ancient corpse little by little, and was only pulled out after it was completely immersed.

"We've tried our defense, now let's try our combat power."

Zheng Zha conveyed the battle order to the ancient corpse.

As for the target of the battle, it was Wen Lie.

The battle venue will naturally not be in Hamunaptra. Summoning the undead is too evil, and we must avoid other people.

Zheng Zha specially added an undead invisibility spell to the ancient corpse, controlling it to avoid the soldiers' sight and come to the desert area outside the Hamunaptra ruins.

"It's time to fight, God Anubis!"

Wen Lie grasped the hilt of the knife and awakened his substitute, the god Anubis.

The precious sword was unsheathed, a purple aura emanated from the blade, and a figure invisible to the human eye appeared behind him.

"Ohhh! Are we going to fight? Are we going to kill someone? Partner up, or is it just another sparring match? Practice?"

"Today is still training, just like usual. You just need to give your power to me... I've told you many times, right? I'm the Stand User, you're the Stand, you assist me, and I'll do the fighting, so don't keep saying the same nonsense."

Wen Lie waved the knife, and the trace left by the blade through the air was beautiful, like a carp's tail splashing clear stream water.

"Alright, alright, my partner, I'll leave the fighting to you, and the killing to you too. Let me feel the pleasure of slicing through the enemy and the exhilaration of drinking their blood! Aaaah!"

The alternate god Anubis raised his arms and howled like a wolf.

He really maintains his enthusiasm all the time, which is quite compatible with Wen Lie, the knife-wielding man.
