Chapter 273

"What does the tomb map say?" Jiang Feng asked Gao Fei.

"Uncle Joseph specially made an annotation on the map, pointing out that all four braziers must be ignited and the monsters born in the braziers must be destroyed in order to open the stone door on the opposite side of the corridor that is blessed with a secret lock."

"What kind of monster will be born in the brazier?" Qi Tian asked curiously.

"A kind of incorporeal undead creature commonly known as 'wisp'." Gao Fei said, "Uncle Joseph didn't elaborate on what it looks like and what abilities it has. Otherwise, they cannot be completely eliminated, even if a group of will-o’-the-wisps is temporarily destroyed, they will be reborn after a while, we must try to open the stone door opposite the corridor before the will-o’-the-wisps are reborn.”

"Damn! The battlefield is a long and narrow corridor, and the battle has a time limit. The opponent is still the incorporeal undead I hate the most. Now I have a headache!" Qi Tianfu groaned.

"Brother Barsaka, I've heard some rumors about the will-o'-the-wisps." Eve said suddenly.

"Let's talk about it, maybe it will help us in the next battle." Gao Fei encouraged the druid girl.

"Although the ghost fire is a kind of incorporeal undead, they carry not only negative energy, but also electric energy. If you touch them, you will suffer a strong electric shock. Therefore, we must be prepared to resist the electric shock before lighting the brazier."

After Eve finished speaking, she began to cast spells, spending 30 points of magic power to bless herself and five teammates with "Electric Resistance Barrier" one by one, increasing the resistance to electric shock by 20 points

As for Mu Ning, he can share the spell buff with the hostess. When Eve casts spells on herself, she also adds an "Electric Resistance Barrier" to it.

Get ready for battle, and everyone retreats to an area away from the brazier to avoid being attacked by will-o'-the-wisps.

The job of lighting the fire was left to Qi Tian—with a gun in his hand, he aimed at one of the braziers and pulled the trigger.

boom!
The crisp sound of gunfire echoed in the corridor.

The bullet was accurately shot into the brazier, and the high temperature generated by the friction of the bullet against the air ignited the whale oil, and the flame immediately rose in the brazier.

Qi Tian wanted to continue shooting and igniting other braziers, but a miraculous scene appeared.

When the first brazier was ignited, for some unknown reason, the other three nearby braziers also ignited by themselves.

At first, the flames rising from the pots were orange-yellow and scorchingly hot, which seemed normal.

However, after a short time, the flame in the basin turned into a strange dark blue color. Instead of releasing heat, it absorbed heat energy from the surrounding environment, causing the temperature in the corridor to plummet.

Qi Tian felt chills all over and sneezed twice. Jiang Feng, Eve, Ai Er, Wu Shi and Mu Ning also felt the same way.

Only Gao Fei was not affected.

Eve's face changed slightly, and she eagerly reminded her companions: "The concentration of negative energy in the corridor is rising sharply, and living things in this environment will be corroded by negative energy!"

Qi Tian hurriedly opened the status bar to look at it, and said with a frown: "The system reminds me that I have been cursed by necrosis. Until I leave this corridor and take a long rest, every time I get hurt, the upper limit of my health will be reduced. "First aid" and so on Medical methods cannot remove the Necrotic Curse!"

Gao Fei also opened the astrolabe to check his status, and found no "eclipse curse", and he was in good health.

After a little thought, I realized that it was because I had mastered the "Standing Standing" and was immune to the eclipse effect caused by all negative energies.

"I'm fine, are you okay?" Gao Fei asked Jiang Feng.

"I passed the fortitude saving throw and resisted the necrotic curse."

While Jiang Nuxia replied, her hands were not idle, and she aroused 28 points of true energy in one breath, and blessed Qi Tian, ​​Eve, Al, and Wushi with "death barriers" to suppress the necrotic curse.

Under normal circumstances, it would take 8 points of true qi to cast the "Death Barrier". Jiang Feng stood directly under the "floating ball" with sufficient light, so the consumption of true qi could be reduced by 1 point.

"I used to think that there was too much zhenqi to run out, but now I realize that I am too naive! Before the fight started, I have already burned a lot of zhenqi. According to this momentum, I am afraid I haven't got the holy ax yet. My True Qi, as well as Eve's magical power, have to be drained." Jiang Feng looked worried.

"I hope we can find a safe place in the tomb to rest..."

Before Gao Fei finished speaking, he heard a series of crackling sounds from the brazier across the corridor.

Immediately afterwards, the four braziers spewed flames upwards at the same time.

The dark blue flame left the brazier, suspended in the air, circling and rolling, looking from a distance, like four strange lanterns.

"The will-o'-the-wisps are out!"

Qi Tian reminded his teammates in a deep voice, and raised his gun to fire at the same time.

Bang Bang hit a ghost fire with two shots, but the bullet penetrated the fireball and hit the opposite wall, causing no damage to the ghost fire.

Qi Tian was stunned for a moment, then patted his head and blamed himself.

"Fuck! I'm stupid! Will-o'-the-wisps are incorporeal undead, and non-magic weapons can't kill them!"

Upon hearing this, Gao Fei quickly opened the storage bag, took out the +1 long sword and +1 warhammer obtained in the Keel Tower, handed them to Al and Ushi, and told the two big brothers:
"When we deal with the will-o'-the-wisps later, don't turn into a bear, just use these two enchanted weapons to deal with them!"

Al and Ush also knew that the bear claws couldn't hurt the will-o'-the-wisps, so they quickly took the weapons and stood ready.

Gao Fei turned his head to investigate the will-o'-the-wisps, and found that these seemingly inconspicuous little balls of light actually had a challenge level of 3, which was more difficult to deal with than he expected.

The diameter of the will-o'-the-wisp is less than one foot long, and it is a miniature incorporeal undead creature that can float and fly. Its HP is 18, and its attributes are: strength -, agility 28, constitution -, intelligence 3, perception 14, charm 11.

Rubbing his eyes vigorously, Gao Fei confirmed that he was not mistaken.

The agility attribute of this bird is as high as 28!

Except for boss-level characters, ghost fires are almost the wild monsters with the highest agility attributes that players can encounter.

The +9 agility modifier, coupled with the +4 evasion modifier brought by the miniature size, made this little will-o'-the-wisp's defense as high as level 23, which is really a ghost!

Incorporeal creatures have no Strength attribute, but will-o'-the-wisps can apply their Dexterity modifier to attack rolls by striking foes, dealing 2d8 points of electricity damage.

This damage data is actually not bad, and it does not exceed the "Electric Resistance Barrier" blessed by Eve for everyone.

The four will-o'-the-wisps that rose from the brazier disappeared collectively from everyone's eyes in an instant.

"Everyone be careful! Willows are born with invisibility!"

Qi Tian hurriedly reminded his companions.

Before he finished speaking, he stepped into the shadow of the corner of the wall and disappeared without a trace, playing hide-and-seek with the will-o'-the-wisp.

He had used the astrolabe to detect the will-o'-the-wisp just now. This kind of incorporeal undead can be invisible at will, but it doesn't have the ability to see through invisibility.

Qi Tian's thief can see through invisibility, so although both parties are in an invisible state, he can unilaterally see the traces of will-o'-the-wisps.
