591 The Requiem Bell
However, after charging for some distance, a strange change occurred on the path.
“What the h*ll is this thing?”
“Argh! How dare you scare me? D*mn you! I’m going to kill you!”
As soon as they set foot on the passage, the hundred Kobold warriors suddenly screamed in fear. Then, they roared at the air as if they had encountered something terrifying. They waved their weapons and started killing each other.
The targets of the slaughter were the comrades and compatriots around them.
In just a few breaths, a large number of them fell. Broken limbs and blood were scattered all over the ground. It was extremely bloody and tragic.
In just a dozen breaths, the hundred Kobold warriors dead.
What was even more strange was that the corpses on the ground disappeared into the ground at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if they had been swallowed by the earth.
If they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, they couldn’t imagine that this was a real scene.
“Is this an illusion? Or is there some other power that affects their minds and makes them see some kind of terrifying scene? They are trapped in an illusion and can’t break free, so they directly fall into a state of mutual slaughter.”
Gou Xiaotian sucked in a breath of cold air, and a thought quickly emerged in its mind.
The situation here was too strange.
Killing each other wasn’t rare, but the problem was how it was caused. When these warriors went in, Gou Xiaotian had been paying attention to the whole process, so it naturally knew that there were no fluctuations of spells or magical powers as if it had happened naturally.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThis illusion came suddenly, which was the most troublesome thing.
No matter how it looked at it, this path was strange. It caused it to hesitate for a moment.
“Send a thousand warriors this time. I don’t believe I can’t see through it.”
Gou Xiaotian ordered after a moment of silence.
This time, one thousand Kobold warriors were sent.
Everyone had a fanatical look on their faces, and their bodies also carried an aura that was not afraid of death. Even if there was a mountain of blades or a sea of flames in front of them, they would still dare to step over.
However, the Kobolds were on their guard this time.
As soon as they stepped onto the path, they became very vigilant. All of their minds and wills were completely focused, afraid that they would be like the previous group of people, who fell into the trap inexplicably and ended up killing each other.
“Who is it? Who is it?”
“D*mn it! There are ghosts here!”
“How dare you sneak attack? Go die!”
Not long after the Kobolds set foot on this path, the others saw them letting out angry roars.
However, Gou Xiaotian and the others did not see anything. Instead, the Kobold warriors had already brandished their weapons and killed their comrades beside them.
This kind of action was not rare. When they fought, they were all extremely fierce and each move was fatal.
The killing among themselves started again, and lives withered away once more.
“Roar!”
“All of you, wake up!”
Gou Xiaotian bellowed. A black bell had appeared in its hand out of nowhere. It shook it, and a crisp ringing sound instantly rang out. With its roar, the sound instantly covered the thousands of Kobold warriors in the entire passageway.
The sound of the bell seemed to contain some kind of magical power that could shake the divine soul.
As the bell rang, the thousands of Kobold warriors immediately woke up. They paused and looked around. They saw their comrades lying on the ground and their bodies were covered in wounds and blood. They could not help but look frightened.
They had no idea what was going on, and they had fallen into a state of killing each other without even realizing it. It was as if a mysterious force had distorted their minds, making them unable to distinguish between what was real and what was fake.
“Tell me. What did you see?”
Gou Xiaotian shouted.
“I saw the comrades beside me suddenly become hideous and terrifying, turning into demons and wanting to tear me apart and devour me. After being startled, I immediately retaliated.”
“Me too!”
I saw my brother beside me giving me a strange and terrifying smile. I was shocked and couldn’t help but take action.”
…
The remaining Kobold warriors began to describe their encounters. Their hearts were filled with lingering fear. There were over a thousand of them, but not even half of them were left now, and their morale was at its lowest.
Everything they had experienced before was too terrifying. The comrades, who had been with them all day and night, suddenly showed their killing intent. Their appearance had become extremely ferocious and terrifying. No matter who it was, in the face of this situation, they would strike first. This was almost an instinctive reaction.
This situation also directly led to the tragedy of the army killing each other.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“It’s an illusion! And it was a silent disturbance to the mind! However, since this trick had been seen through, it was no longer useful in front of my Requiem Bell. Trying to stop my army’s attack with such a small trick is simply a fool’s dream.”
Gou Xiaotian’s heart immediately calmed down when it saw the brave warriors waking up under the influence of its Requiem Bell. It waved its hand disdainfully and no longer hesitated. It then led the Kobold warriors behind and quickly stepped into the passage.
The Kobold warriors were howling in excitement as if victory was within reach. They could not wait to reap the fruits of their victory.
“Ding ding ding…”
A crisp and melodious sound of a bell rang out. The Requiem Bell was gently swaying in Gou Xiaotian’s hand, and its sound reverberated throughout the entire passageway. It kept all the Kobold warriors in a clear-headed state so that they would not be disturbed by the bewitching techniques.
“Without any confusion means, this sh*t battle array is no threat at all!”
“The chief is the strongest and the wisest. In front of the chief’s strength and wisdom, humans are like the soil under our feet, only worthy of being trampled by us!”
When the Kobolds saw that their chief had cracked the passageway’s technique, they were all extremely excited.
With the Requiem Bell’s suppression, this path was extremely safe. None of the Kobolds were affected.
Whoosh!
However, just as they were rejoicing and their morale was greatly boosted, a crisp sound suddenly came from the fog on both sides of the passage.
It sounded like countless chains were colliding with each other in the fog. At the same time, golden chains flashing with thunderlight suddenly emerged from the fog. They were like the most terrifying and fastest venomous snakes, directly wrapping around the neck of a Kobold. Then, they suddenly pulled back and directly dragged the Kobolds into the fog.
The mist rolled gently as if it was not affected at all. There were no sounds of the Kobold struggling or screaming.
Sudden! Swift! Eerie!
One could imagine that the Kobold was already in a bad state, and its chance of survival was almost zero.
This sudden turn of events caused the morale of the Kobold army, which had just been raised, to suddenly drop.
Mysterious chains would appear in the fog on both sides of the passage and randomly drag people through the fog. This was something that no one had expected.
