Lord of Rot

Chapter 275: Show mercy for a moment

Creak, creak.

The fingernails scratched against the iron plate, making a grinding sound that made one's teeth grind.

Li Qi followed Hawkwood to the scholar's residence in Three Fork River Fort. Unexpectedly, the scholar's door was made of iron, leaving only a small square hole as big as a palm.

He lowered his head and looked inside.

Bang!

A face suddenly came over and looked at Li Qi with wide eyes.

Li Qi was not mentally prepared and was really taken aback.

"crazy?"

The man's spirit is obviously abnormal, his eyes are blurry and dull, and he behaves strangely. It is impossible to get useful information from him.

"Teacher, he has become like this since he came out of the mine," said the young man on the side.

Li Qi turned to look at the young man: "Teacher? Are you...?"

The young man replied: "I am Vic, and I am now an apprentice."

"Tell me what happened to your teacher."

"Yes"

Apprentice Vic nodded: "After coming out of the mine, the teacher seemed to have changed into a different person. He started talking to himself and carved strange patterns on his body."

"Is it a magic pattern?"

"I don't know," Vic replied honestly: "The teacher and I focus on studying herbal medicine, and we don't have a deep understanding of arcana, curses, etc."

Scholars have different specializations. This scholar studies herbal medicine, and when he encounters a ghost, he encounters a blind spot in knowledge.

Li Qi looked at the iron door. The scholar began scratching the door with his nails again, making it creak, which made the listeners irritated.

"Open the door" he said.

The soldier on guard looked at Hawkwood and waited for his lord to nod before taking out the key.

As soon as the door opened, the scholar rushed over with a strange scream.

Li Qi put one hand on his forehead and easily pushed the scholar to the ground without giving him a chance to resist.

Fortunately, he held back his strength, otherwise the scholar's head would have exploded.

"Come and hold him down," Li Qi turned around and said.

The soldiers at the door were shocked by Li Qi's method. They had never seen someone being pushed to the ground slowly like this. Everyone focused on speed and strength, but the crazy scholar was actually beaten by Li Qi slowly. Pushed and pressed to the ground easily, it was like being "held". No matter how hard he struggled, he could not stop Li Qi's slow palm.

After hearing the order, two soldiers came to hold the mad scholar down at the door.

The weight of the heavy armor is enough to make it difficult for the scholar's thin body to struggle even without using any force.

Li Qi unceremoniously untied the scholar's tattered clothes.

The surface of his body has been covered with blood scabs, and the dense scars are indistinguishable. They look like some kind of weird writing or just random carvings.

"What can you see?" Li Qi's spiritual power connected with the Water Fairy.

Maybe there are similar memories in the memory of the Water Fairy.

It's a pity that he didn't bring the Brass Dragon over. Although that guy was full of lies, he still had some knowledge, which was better than having no knowledge at all.

The water fairy replied: "Li Qi, I can't tell, but he is dying."

"dying?"

Li Qi saw no sign that the herbalist was dying.

Although he is not mentally healthy, he is still alive and well, so he is unlikely to die.

Li Qi and the Water Fairy used mental communication to communicate. When the two soldiers pressing the scholar saw that he had no orders, they held them down obediently and waited for Li Qi's instructions.

But the scholar slowly stopped struggling.

The body suddenly curled up uncontrollably.

The mouth grew longer and bigger, the eyes widened, and the pupils shrank like needlepoints, as if only the whites of the eyes were left.

His face also turned livid.

"S-Sir," the soldier on the left had no choice but to remind Li Qi: "He is dead."

"Really dead?"

Li Qi looked at the scholar. He was in a wrong state, as if he had seen a very terrifying scene.

"Another world should not engage in Chinese horror, but Japanese horror."

He was a little hairy.

In his previous life, he was not afraid of anything else but the likes of Aunt Mei and Zhen.

"They were frightened to death!" Hawkwood, who was standing behind, said: "The slaves who were frightened to death before also died in the same way."

He is standing here, and even if there is something whose spiritual power exceeds his own, it is impossible for the Water Fairy not to notice it.

If he really surpasses himself and the Water Fairy, why bother killing people in this way? A magic emp can kill as many as he wants, and he doesn't have to be limited to people who have been in the mines.

"I have an idea," Li Qi suggested to the Water Fairy: "You can control Ayame, and I'll control Aina. Let's go into the mine and have a look."

The water fairy never thought of refusing. She thought this method was very good, and she was also very curious: "Okay, Li Qi."

What Li Qi thought was that the bodies of people entering the mines should be marked. If he sent dead people in to have a look, even if they were marked, his body would not be affected.

He stood up and said to Hawkwood: "Take me to the mine, and I'll go take a look."

"it is good!"

After leaving Sanchahe Fort, everyone rode for a while and entered the mountain. There was a small mine dragged by wooden beams.

Li Qi stood still, but his mental power had already controlled the corpse to walk into the mine.

Two corpses entered the mine.

No torches either.

The darkness could not block Li Qi's sight at all.

Not long after entering, I suddenly saw an illusory figure squatting in the corner, hugging myself.

A dozen arms hugged him into a cocoon, and he was indeed hugging himself.

It seems that the slaves who escaped from the mine were not lying.

Hearing footsteps, the ghost slowly turned around.

"Shock!"

"Shock!"

"Shock!"

Three consecutive shocks directly knocked the ghost's body into disarray, and he turned around and wanted to run away.

The water fairy who controlled the necromancer Ayame on the side raised her hand, and the escaping ghost exploded instantly.

"How?" Li Qi asked.

The water fairy replied: "It's very simple. You can do it as soon as you think about it."

Simple? Just think about it?

Li Qi had to use magic to achieve this effect. The Water Fairy directly carried out humane destruction. The method was simple, but the effect was not simple.

Forget it, I'm not at a stage above the extraordinary, so what's the point of pursuing it? Life levels are different, so I can't learn.

Continuing to walk inside, I saw another ghost with eyes.

"Leave it to you," Li Qi said.

The water fairy started to crush the ghost and explode it.

Then it was really a smooth journey, some were ghosts mentioned by the slaves in the mine, and some were not mentioned.

But they are no match for the water fairy who raises her hand.

"I saw nothing normal along the way. None of them were humanoid."

Suddenly I saw the ghostly back of a little girl in front of me.

This one looks the most human.

The little girl ghost slowly turned around, with only one huge eye on her face.

The water fairy said: "I can feel that she is afraid."

Li Qi said: "I am also afraid of her."

"Want to kill?"

How could you say such cruel words with such a calm tone!

Along the way, the water fairy was killing decisively. Just now she suddenly mentioned that ghosts are afraid, and Li Qi thought she couldn't bear it anymore.

Li Qi nodded: "Kill him."

The little girl's ghost exploded, completely unaware that she had just been shown mercy by two butchers.

"Maybe I accidentally entered some ancient human laboratory."

There is no shortage of extreme people in the world. As long as you overcome a trivial sense of morality, you can do any experiment.

This has nothing to do with the world of science or the world of magic.

After sweeping all the way, the ghosts in the entire mine were quickly eliminated.

The deeper you go, the more ghosts there are.

Finally, when we reached the end of the mine, a ghostly figure came through the wall, and was crushed by the water fairy in an instant.

"What's the reason behind this?"

Since it's at the back, dig a hole directly there.

Pick up a hoe and pickaxe from the side and start digging immediately.

Outside the mine, Hawkwood asked worriedly: "Lord Li Qi, those two people have been in for so long and haven't come out. Is there any danger?"

"Don't worry, Lord Hawkwood." Li Qi, who was digging a hole remotely, shook his head: "They are very powerful, and they are just simply investigating the situation. After the investigation is clear, I will go in and solve it myself."

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Suddenly there was a banging sound in the mine.

Hawkwood was confused, why did he suddenly start mining instead of going in to investigate the situation?
