Chapter 71: Dark Wizard Anlag
The narrow passage suddenly opened up. Seeing that he could no longer observe the fragrant buttocks of the withered Bauhinia flowers up close, Lu Hao felt bored.
The inside of the cave is much larger than the outside. There is a crystal stone inlaid every ten meters on the mottled walls around it. The light emitted by these crystal stones makes the inside of the cave brighter than the outside.
"It should be inside." The withered Bauhinia pointed to a stone door carved with runes not far away, tightened the compound chaos bow in his hand, and walked forward with his feet pinched.
Ma Yingjie followed suit, on the one hand to understand the situation, and on the other hand to think again whether the butt of the fallen Bauhinia flower was a duck egg or a fried egg.
The atmosphere in the cave was cold, just like entering an ice cave. The two of them came to the stone door one after the other. Ma Yi looked at the tightly closed stone door and tried to push it with his hand, but the heavy stone door did not move at all.
The withered bauhinia came up to help, but was too tired to push the door open even though it was sweating profusely.
Ma Yingjie let out a long sigh, raised the Devil May Cry Staff in his hand, and a black knight rushed up and made a counterattack towards the heavy stone door. Of course, since there were no skeleton horses and lances, this counterattack turned into a kick backwards with his back to the stone door.
But even so, the power of the Black Knight is far from comparable to that of Ma Yingjie and the withered Bauhinia.
"Boom." A loud noise was heard, and the black knight was knocked back by the rebound force. Apart from a slight shift in the stone door, there was no other reaction. It was obvious that the black knight's horse kick this time was doomed to fail.
"What should I do?" Ma Hao looked at the withered Bauhinia flowers. It was obvious that it would be difficult to break open the stone door by force.
"I don't know." The withered Bauhinia answered Ma Yingjie's question directly and honestly. But this is also true. Even a black knight with great strength can't make the stone gate tremble, let alone these two weak professions.
The two black knights stood there stiffly, staring at each other, trying to read some clues from each other's eyes, but this was undoubtedly a question like a tortoise asking a turtle why the hippopotamus grew so big.
…………
"Wow!"
Just as the two were considering whether to go back and buy some medicine before coming back, the stone door opened automatically.
Both of them saw the happiness in each other's eyes. Ma Yingjie tightly grasped the Devil May Cry Staff in his hand, and the curse was ready to be used at any time. The withered Bauhinia released the flamingo, and also bent the bow and drew the arrow, ready for battle.
"Creak, creak." A sound of bones rubbing against each other came from inside the stone gate. Soon a team of skeleton warriors armed to the teeth appeared in their sight.
[Weak Black Warriors] (Common monsters) The guards of the dark wizard Anlag. After Anlag was injured, their overall strength dropped significantly, and they are even inferior to the skeleton warriors of a lower level.

Looking at this team of about a dozen weak black warriors, Lu Hao felt proud. Just now on the road, he encountered a Netherworld Soul Locker as big as a hill. The two did not even have the courage to fight, so they ran away with their tails between their legs. They even sacrificed a black knight in order to escape. Lu Hao felt that this was humiliating. Now that there is someone to vent his anger on, Lu Hao will certainly not let it go.
First, he cast a Weakness spell, then cast a Dark Judgment on the weak Black Knight, instantly taking away more than half of his blood. The Withered Bauhinia then added a three-in-a-row attack, and the weak Black Knight died instantly.
The two black knights roared without waiting for Ma Yingjie's orders and rushed towards the group of weak black warriors with bare hands.
A dozen weak black warriors did not pose a great threat to Ma Yingjie and his men. No weak black warrior could rush out of the stone door. The stone door seemed to have become a barrier between life and death, and no weak black warrior could rush out.
With a loud crash, after the last weak black warrior turned into broken bones, a large pile of white bones had already accumulated beside the stone gate in front of them.
Seeing that there was no more movement on the opposite side, Ma Yingjie asked a black knight to go in and test it out.
Seeing the Black Knight standing in the stone gate intact, Ma Yingjie and the withered Bauhinia also went in with peace of mind.
Inside the stone gate is a small space. Apart from a stone table and two stone benches that are connected to the mountain, there is no other decoration.
The crystal stones on the wall emitted a dim green light, and both of them saw doubt in each other's eyes. Could it be that this was a fake? Could it be that Anlag was not here? But there was only this cave in the cave, and there was no other way out.
"Jie Jie!"
An ear-numbing laugh came from above the two of them. The voice was old and dry, without a trace of human feeling. Could it be?
Ma Yingjie looked up and saw a sunken hole in the rock opposite. An old man covered in a black robe was sitting there. His skinny face was covered with nothing but bones except a layer of skin.
Ma Yingjie threw a look at the dark wizard, which had a surprising effect on him.
System prompt: The target does not exist and cannot be visited.
"Old man, are you Anlag?" The withered redbud flower asked loudly as he drew his bow and arrow and pointed the tip of the arrow at the dark wizard.
Although the dark wizard in front of him was very likely the target of his mission, the Withered Bauhinia still wanted to confirm it. Yes, the past few days had been very troublesome, which made the Withered Bauhinia very headache about this mission. If he had known it would be so troublesome, he would not have accepted it.
"Hehe, I never thought that someone would still remember me, Anlag, after such a long time, cough cough. I haven't seen a human for a long time, and I haven't drunk fresh blood for a long time. Two little guys, I will let you live a little longer." The dark wizard Anlag stood up arrogantly, and his black robe looked particularly weird in the green light emitted by the crystal stone.
"Don't be so arrogant, old man. We are here to end your boring life." The withered Bauhinia shouted, and the longbow in his hand emitted a white light and sniped.
A beam of white light shot towards Anlag above. Anlag calmly cast a bone shield on himself. A sniper shot from the Withered Bauhinia made a ding-ling sound on the bone shield, declaring failure. It actually failed to break Anlag's defense.
Ma Yingjie also threw a Dark Judgment at Anlag. The bone shield, which had already lost a certain amount of durability due to the sniping of the withered Bauhinia, was instantly broken, and inflicted more than fifty points of damage to Anlag.
"Hey, there's actually a necromancer." Anlag showed a look of surprise after seeing Ma Yingjie's Dark Judgment: "Haha, this is fun. I haven't been so happy in a long time. I didn't expect to meet someone like me."
The Black Knights were completely useless in this kind of war. Even if a squadron of soldiers or knights came, they would not have any effect on the battle situation. Anlag was hiding in a depression high up, and could only attack ranged professions.
"Anlag, I heard that you are the most powerful necromancer in the Savage Continent, and that you can use both light and dark magic at the same time. I would like to learn from you."
"Haha, I didn't expect that after all these years, someone still knows about this honor of mine. I will let you see it for yourself."
As Anlag spoke, he stretched out the staff in his hand, and a white light of judgment formed at the tip of the staff. The next moment, the light of judgment struck Ma Yingjie's head.
Miss
Looking at the big miss on Ma Yingjie's head, Anlag muttered in surprise: "This is impossible. How can a necromancer be immune to light magic?" Then he threw out a whirlwind cross slash skill. Damn, he even knows the skills of the Knight of Light. He really lived up to his talent.
Miss
Seeing the miss appear above Ma Yingjie's head again, Anlag almost collapsed.
In fact, the so-called immunity is not absolute. Lu Hao is only immune to high-level magic. The immunity of the Ring of the Abandoner of Magic, which has reached the forbidden spell level, to light magic can only weaken the damage, but cannot provide real complete defense. Breaking the defense is the patent of the forbidden spell.
"Old man, come and take a few of our attacks." Ma Yingjie said as he used the Dark Judgment which had just expired after its cooldown. The withered Bauhinia wisely followed Ma Yingjie's attack and launched an offensive.
The flamingo flew into the air and sprayed flames at Anlag, but unfortunately Anlag's flesh had already rotted away, otherwise the two would have been able to smell the aroma of meat.
Anlag's defense is very weak, not much stronger than Lu Hao, but his health is much higher. Moreover, the system does not seem to intend to make things difficult for the two of them. After all, at a low level, being able to get here already represents strength.
Sure enough, after a while, Anlag said something harsh and turned into experience and fell down from above.
"Damn it." The two men blurted out at the same time. After killing Anlag, each of them only got 200 experience points, which was not even enough to catch up with a level monster. Not only that, they didn't even see any equipment. There were gold coins, and quite a lot of them. Lu Hao counted them and found that there were exactly gold coins. However, getting a green equipment would earn more money than this.
"Forget it, let's go back and ask the NPC for the reward. If he dares to treat me badly, I will chop him down." The withered Bauhinia waved his fist angrily. Ma Yingjie also seemed very indignant. If he got some good equipment, he could make some extra money. Damn it.
"Okay, go and cut off my head." Ma Yingjie waved his hand helplessly.
The withered Bauhinia nodded to Ma Yingjie and took out a dagger flashing with cold light from his backpack. It seemed that the withered Bauhinia had been prepared for this.
After easily cutting off Anlag's head, the withered Bauhinia threw Anlag's head into the storage space.
"You can go and hand in the task now. I will never treat you unfairly." The withered Bauhinia said excitedly.
"How do you want to treat me well? There's no one here now, why don't we talk about life and ideals." Ma Yingjie looked at the withered Bauhinia flowers with a sly smile.
"Hey."
Looking at the cold light on the withered redbud arrow, Ma Yingjie quickly retracted his hand.
"The mission is accomplished, let's go back." The withered Bauhinia said as he took out the scroll to return to the city.
I'll wait a little longer, Ma Yingjie said with a dry laugh.
"What are you doing?" The withered Bauhinia looked at Ma Yingjie in surprise.
"I want to see if I can get these things down." Ma Yingjie pointed at the crystal stones on the wall.
"Miser." The withered Bauhinia cursed angrily and took back the teleportation scroll in his hand.
So, the two of them began to destroy the rocks in the empty cave.
