Chapter 752: I Have a Friend...
Matthew followed the copper pipe to the end.
He discovered that it was connected to a yellow root that was as thick as a tentacle!
The tip of the root was like a stamen.
The fine yellow and white branches wrapped the copper pipe tightly.
Matthew could sense it without even getting close.
That root must have come from the Mother Lotus hidden underground!
He observed calmly.
From time to time, the ghosts in the jars would be taken away, but not long after, some ghosts would be sent back.
These ghosts seemed to be conscious when they were sent back.
They even bared their fangs and brandished their claws at Matthew.
However, under the soaking of the liquid.
They soon fell into a deep sleep.
Waiting for the next summoning.
..
[Hint: You have discovered the 'Group Soul Projection Device'.]
[Knowledge (Spell Identification/Divine Knowledge): You have realized that all Soul Projection Devices are the divine version of the spell Blue Veil Dream.]
[The Lotus of the Mother of Breeds projected these ghosts onto the clones, thereby mass-producing the most basic life forms. Then, by issuing simple orders, it ordered these Withered Disciples to cause destruction in Cross City.]
..
So that was the case.
Matthew had previously felt that these Withered Disciples were very strange. After they died, they rotted completely, and their spirit bodies were nowhere to be found.
It turned out that their spirit bodies had been anchored by the Lotus of the Mother!
As for Blue Veil Dream, which was originally used to travel to another world, it was also used by the Brood Mother Lotus as a part of controlling the ghost to log into the clone body.
Through this method.
The Brood Mother Lotus could produce an endless stream of cheap Withered Disciples.
However, the quality of life of these believers would be very poor.
Matthew even observed.
Some of the ghosts in the glass jars were actually animals!
" Even if Blue Veil Dream can protect the soul, it shouldn't be able to withstand a few soul projections.
"Where did the Mother Lotus get so many ghosts? And it even treats them as consumables!"
He thought about it.
Matthew wanted to follow the direction of the root to find the true location of the Mother Lotus.
But at this moment.
All the candles in the square were instantly extinguished.
Immediately after.
A faint blue light lit up in the glass jar.
All the ghosts opened their eyes at that moment!
They stared at Matthew.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
A cold wind blew from the edge of the square.
It was only because Matthew's Vitality was exuberant and his aura was high, or else he would have been shocked by this scene!
"Your boldness is beyond my expectations.
" But if the Tauren bloodline is your last trump card, then you are destined to die here today, ha, Tree Master."
An extremely feminine voice sounded in the darkness.
Matthew composed himself.
He did not find the source of the voice, but his perception reminded him that the person who spoke was the Mother Lotus hidden in the dark.
"Are you Icanos or Tarand?" he asked calmly.
"Looks like you have done some homework before coming…"
After the soft and weak voice finished speaking, it suddenly became sharp and high-pitched.
" But you despicable Tauren, how dare you call God by his name!?
"I am the Weaver of All Things, the Daughter of the Earth, the Master of Graves, Poison, and Plague!
"Kneel down!"
An unquestionable power of law smashed into Matthew's body.
However, Matthew only took half a step back before regaining his balance.
He had high resistance to begin with.
In addition, the Tauren's ancestral soul gave him an extremely tenacious fighting will.
The divine might of Tarand, the Weaver of All Things, did not make him kneel.
Of course.
This was also related to Tarand's current lack of strength.
"As expected, you haven't even reached the Demigod level."
Matthew looked calmly at the root that was slowly leaving the copper pipe.
The latter split in the middle, revealing countless tongues and broken teeth.
A woman's head slowly emerged from it.
She stared at Matthew coldly and angrily.
"Even if I'm not a demigod yet, a former god is not someone a brat like you can profane!
"I told you, you are really bold. You didn't think of retreating when you found so many ghosts here.
" Didn't your teacher tell you that ghosts are the natural nemesis of mages?!"
Following Tarand's clamor.
The lids of all the glass jars opened automatically.
Countless ghosts flew out from it.
They surrounded Matthew and let out sharp roars as if they could tear him apart at any time!
Spectres were indeed one of the potential Mage killers.
There were many high-level ghosts that could not only absorb energy but also focus.
When a mage was surrounded by a sea of ghosts.
All of his spells and techniques might lose their effectiveness in an instant.
Therefore, every mage would be extra careful when they set foot in the Underworld.
Even a strong character like the Tauren…
When faced with the Spirit Sea, it was very easy to be drained of energy and become extremely weak.
Therefore, in Tarand's opinion.
Matthew was indeed a little arrogant.
"The number of ghosts here seems to have exceeded 1000…"
Matthew muttered to himself.
" And sending you to the Underworld only requires 100 spirits!"
Tarand said coldly,
" Leave your last words, mage.
" You will be the first Alliance Mage I kill after I return. It's your honour."
Matthew shrugged.
"I have a friend.
" He once entrusted me to investigate a soul theft mission. I am so ashamed. I didn't even investigate seriously. Who knew that this mission would come by itself…"
