Headshot Wizard - Chapter 278

Chapter 278: Poison Root

The white-robed wizard quietly watched Lauchlan adjust his posture in the groove, and whispered, “Are you ready?”

Lauchlan nodded, and he lay down as much as possible to stretch his body.

In the next second, his clothes disappeared without a trace, revealing his withered body.

The white-robed wizard chanted a spell in a low voice, and the translucent lids on both sides of the groove were immediately closed.

Klang!

Several mechanical bites sounded, and Lauchlan was completely sealed in this coffin-like container.

Through the translucent container, Lance could clearly see his body.

I saw the part below the chest and the heart was purely bluish-grey. His feet had begun to rot. Only three toes were left on one of the feet, and the other two had disappeared. There was a big opening in his knee. The stale and rotten skin turned over, revealing the same dry and aging flesh and blood.

“His body can’t hold on anymore.” The white-robed wizard showed a trace of sorrow in his eyes, and whispered: “He has nowhere to go.”

Lance was speechless, but he was a little curious. If the operation is successful, he should be able to recover, right? How can you say that there is no way to go?

“let’s start!”

Lauchlen’s voice was muffled and came from the container.

The white-robed wizard nodded, and he walked quickly to the edge of the container, fumbled for a few things like switches, and then pressed it down.

Not long after, there was a creaking sound, and Lance saw several sealed black earthen jars appearing beside Lauchlan. There are six jars in total, four of which appear on both sides of Lauchlan’s legs, and the other two appear under his armpits.

“If your psychological endurance is not that strong, I suggest you don’t watch the next scene.” The white-robed wizard glanced at Lance and quickly said: “Once the ceremony begins, every step is very… …cruel.”

Lance shook his head and said, “Thank you for your reminder, but I am also a wizard, and I have seen some very cruel scenes.”

Seeing Lance’s insistence on his own opinion, the other party didn’t say much, just took out a three-foot-long staff and gestured to the small crock pots in the container.

The breath of magic factors faintly emerged from the tip of his staff, and soon, under Lance’s gaze, the lids of those small earthen jars suddenly began to slowly rotate.

The white robe wizard’s spell seemed to awaken something, and the container suddenly became less quiet, instead, there were buzzing sounds.

Lance watched this scene intently. At this time, the lid of the jar was completely opened, and two slender tentacles protruded from the inside.

Then a black beetle with a sharp-toothed mouth crawled out of it-no, it was not so much that he crawled out of it, it was better to be knocked out by a companion behind him.

One by one, densely packed black beetles poured out from six earthen jars, and quickly crawled all over Lauchlan’s chest. On every inch of bluish-gray skin, there are traces of several black beetles.

Seeing this scene, Lance couldn’t help but feel a little itchy, and goose bumps had already appeared.

In the entire container, there were traces of this black beetle at this time, but Lance was surprised that these beetles did not attack Lauchlan, but crawled aimlessly. Occasionally, two beetles huddled together, and this apparently aggressive creature left to fight. Their mouthparts were covered with sharp teeth. Lance took a closer look and found that this creature’s small mouthparts had six rows of ratchet teeth!

“What kind of bug is this?” Lance couldn’t help asking.

“Death-eaters. They love to eat dead people, and they only eat dead people. Corpses have an unstoppable temptation for them.” The white-robed wizard responded: “Don’t underestimate these guys. They can eat a deep sea giant in a second. The carcass of a whale…Of course, the premise is the carcass.”

Lance faintly understood.

In the container, except for the black beetle, the part above Lauchlan’s chest was shrouded in a faint yellow light. A pale yellow bead floated on his forehead. This was the treasure [the Pearl of Redemption] that had always protected him from dying under the poison.

Lance saw it really. There were already many cracks in this redeeming jewel, which obviously won’t last long.

Lauchlan watched as his body was covered with bugs before opening his mouth with difficulty.

The Pearl of Redemption fell slowly and was held in his mouth. At the same time, he uttered a vague spell, and his body began to stiffen.

Soon, the part outside the radiance of the Pearl of Redemption began to show a completely corrupt gray-black color.

“Did he put himself into a state of suspended animation?”

Seeing Lauchlan, who suddenly closed his eyes and seemed unconscious, Lance immediately understood his intentions-he wanted these death-eaters to mistakenly think that he was dead!

Sure enough, as soon as Lauchlan “dead”, these beetles opened their mouths with excitement and bite Lauchlan’s body frantically!

The scene was so brutal that Lance was cold from head to toe.

The white-robed sorcerer did not lie, and the death-eaters eat the corpse at an amazing speed. Almost after two breaths, there is only one skeleton left in most of Lauchlan’s body!

All the flesh and blood fascia were swallowed by these greedy death-eaters.

However, at this moment, Lance noticed that after some death-eaters had eaten Lauchlan’s body, they had also begun to stiffen up and stayed in place motionless.

“The resistance of death-eaters to toxins is not invincible, not to mention the toxicity of Smok Dulong. These insects will inevitably die if they eat Lauchlan’s meat.”

Lance forced himself to ignore the brutal scene and began to calmly analyze.

Even so, this did not stop the rest of the death-eaters from coming forward. They seemed to not see the tragic death of their companions at all, but rushed forward and devoured the harder skeleton.

Seeing this scene, Lance had a deeper understanding of what the white-robed wizard said before “the corpse has an unstoppable temptation for them”.

After three more breaths, all the skeletons were also devoured.

In the entire container, there were dead-eating insects corpses everywhere. And Lauchlan’s body is only left with the ribcage, neck and head. His limbs were already buried in the abdomen of dead insects.

“If you want to remove the toxins in his body, you can only use this most extreme method.” The voice of the white robe faintly came: “The toxins have penetrated every inch of his body, except for the chest cavity and head protected by the Pearl of Redemption. , The other places are deeply planted with the “poisonous roots” of the Smok Dulong. The poisonous roots are rooted in the bones and muscles of the human body. The toxins are expelled. As long as the root of the poison is still there, the toxins can continue to be produced continuously.”

“What’s even more frightening is that the poisonous root produces toxins that consume the human body’s own nutrients. This is a spiritual toxin-oh no, it is not so much a toxin, but rather an alternative form of parasite. Think. To completely solve this problem, you can only pull out the [poisonous root]. And the death-eaters are the only creatures that dare to swallow the flesh with such toxins, and their speed of swallowing the flesh is also an important reason for choosing them…”

Under the explanation of the white robe, Lance gradually understood the key point of this ceremony. It is useless to abandon this part of the body alone. Only the speed of devouring by the Death Eater can prevent the horrible power of the poisonous root from spreading to the area protected by the Pearl of Redemption before dying.

During the conversation between the two, the death-eaters in the container had all turned into corpses, and Lauchlen also groaned, waking up from suspended animation.

As soon as he woke up, layers of cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and the huge pain apparently impacted his nerves at this moment, and it was already astonishing not to faint again.

Somehow, Lance suddenly remembered what happened to him in the Whispering Forest before entering Ferendor.

If it were not for the help of the woodpecker Higgins and the neon deer Tilansius, I am afraid that I would have been swallowed by those demons. How similar was the scene at that time to what happened to Lauchlan? ! Until now, Lance still has a small bottle of the powerful healing potion mixed with the saliva of the Celestial Deer in his hand.

Lauchlan asked with a pale face: “The poisonous roots have been uprooted?”

Baipao nodded and said, “You can start the next step.”

After that, he walked to the side and opened the other door of the secret room. Not long after, a tall, stiff young man walked out pale.

“Lamo, if you regret it now, there is still time.”

Baipao whispered.

Although the young man looked terrified, his will was very firm: “If it weren’t for Lord Lauchlan, our family would have been destroyed many years ago. Now, since it’s time for me to dedicate myself to adults, how can I retreat?”

Baipao said no more. Next to the translucent container, a copper pillar appeared. There were still several circles of silver rope hanging on the copper pillar. He motioned for Ramo to walk over.

Ramo stood with his back to the copper pillar, and the silver rope immediately came back to life and bound him firmly.

“Remember, you can’t resist! If you resist, the ceremony will fail, and the adults will lose their only chance, understand?” Baipao said solemnly.

Ramo nodded firmly.

Lance noticed that behind the copper pillar, there was a thick tube connected to the transparent container where Lauchlan was.

Baipao quickly walked to the other side of the secret room, which was a place like a console, and he quickly clicked on a few runes of different colors.

Soon, the copper pillar suddenly became extremely soft, and the silver rope tied Lamo tightly, slowly blending his body into the copper pillar until he disappeared.

Lance squinted slightly, and the eagle eye saw through the thin copper skin that the copper pillar was hollow inside.

“Don’t pry out with magic tricks.” Baipao said lightly: “Unless you want to eat for three days.”

Lance was stunned for a moment. Before he could speak, the young man inside the copper pillar before his eyes suddenly exploded into a cloud of blood!

Broken human skin, a few severed fingers, messy hair…

Inside the copper pillar, these things floated strangely. It also impacted Lance’s vision.
