Chapter 42: Horcruxes

"Horcruxes?"

Fang Hong asked the old man suspiciously.

The old man stood up, pulled out the knife stuck in the ground, and said, "Yes! Horcruxes, as the name suggests, are artifacts with souls. These artifacts are weapons, armor, and even daily necessities. ”

"You mean it's okay to inject my friend's soul into an artifact?"

Fang Hong asked suspiciously, the old man said it simply, but he didn't believe it was so easy.

"It's that simple, the conditions for the formation of Horcruxes are also extremely harsh. First of all, the artifact itself that makes this Horcrux is very powerful and has the conditions to hold the soul. Secondly, the soul of the artifact must also be strong, otherwise it will not be able to merge with the artifact at all. ”

Fang Hong nodded as if he didn't understand, the old man just summed up the artifact and soul with power. How powerful is that to meet the requirements? Immediately, Fang Hong asked the doubts in his heart.

The old man also gave an explanation for this.

"Take a weapon as an example! A weapon is generally judged from two aspects, one is the degree of increase in energy, and the other is its own strength. Based on these two aspects, the Talisman divides them into one to nine ranks. The knife you use has reached two stages in terms of energy amplification and three stages in strength. And the weapon that can contain the soul must reach at least eight stages in both aspects. ”

"As for the soul, that's hard to say. Under normal circumstances, the deceased needs to reach the level of the king of war before his death, and you, this friend, ........."

“............”

There is still a long way to go!

Fang Hong couldn't help but sigh. The conditions are harsh and stressful. But he was in a much better mood, and at least he could have worked hard to achieve these conditions.

In a good mood, I have to have a cigarette to celebrate.

Fang Hong took out a pack of cigarettes, and with a flick of his wrist, a cigarette was put into his mouth, and then skillfully lit it and took a deep breath.

"Whew..."

A cloud of pale white smoke spit out from his mouth, and Fang Hong's spirit and body were satisfied at the same time.

"Well, little brother, what is this thin, short thing of yours?"

The old man approached Fang Hong, smelled the second-hand smoke that Fang Hong spit out, and asked curiously.

"This is my life. ”

Fang Hong handed the cigarette to the old man, and with a flick of his fingers, the snow-white soot flew in the air and landed on the old man's golden battle armor.

The old man didn't care about Fang Hong's actions, and said with an ambiguous expression: "Your life, can you let me sigh." ”

Fang Hong flipped his hand, and another pack of cigarettes appeared in his hand. He shoved it into the old man's arms and said magnificently, "Hey, what's the matter." Our friendship between the two of us, you can give it as long as you want. After speaking, his palms turned over and kept stuffing into the old man's arms.

The old man also learned from Fang Hong's appearance, and smoked it one bite at a time.

With a good foundation laid by cigarettes, the rest is much simpler. The old man directly gave the rune fragment to Fang Hong, and Fang Hong naturally had no need to stay, so he said goodbye to the old man.

"Senpai, I'm leaving. You take such good care that I don't know your name yet?"

The old man poked the knife in his hand on the ground, and said proudly: "Speaking of the old man's name, it is Weizhen Huanyu." Listen, the old man's surname is Long, and his name is Aotian. Long Aotian, how is it, domineering!"

"Ahem~"

After hearing the old man's name, Fang Hong almost didn't take his breath. Long Aotian, what a familiar name. If anyone else hears the name, they're probably scared. Who is Fang Hong, an excellent traverser. That name naturally can't scare him. Fang Hong wanted to laugh, but he felt a little rude, so he had to hold it there, and his face turned red.

"Good name, good name, but worse than my name. Listen, my name is Emperor Shakti, if there is anything in the Tianwu Continent in the future, report my name, it will definitely be useful. Fang Hong said proudly, and after speaking, he turned around and walked towards the door, ready to leave.

If you tell someone on Earth that your name is Shakti, that person must think that you are not mentally normal. But it's different in the other world, and the name is still quite domineering.

Now the old man was frightened by this domineering name, he thought that his name was domineering enough, but he didn't expect to meet his opponent today.

After Fang Hong left, the old man waved his hand, and a light gate appeared in front of him, pushed the door in, and came to a turbulent water.

Fang Hong returned to the hall and looked at the third door with some hesitation. He had just been in the third sword of Solitaire, and his weapon had been destroyed. If a talisman has no weapons, the combat effectiveness is not reduced at all.

Fang Hong came out this time and was very well prepared, but he didn't expect to prepare an extra weapon. He also had a knife in his spatial ring that he used before entering the White Tiger Academy. But that knife is just an ordinary iron knife, and he is used to using Tang knives, and then he uses iron knives, which is indeed a little uncomfortable.

But at this point, naturally there is no place to find weapons, so they can only use them.

Pushing open the third door, you will be greeted by a corridor. The corridor is not deep, only a dozen meters, but three stone doors appear at the end. Facing the stone gate, after Fang Hong tried one by one, he found that there was no such thing as a mechanism, so he randomly chose one to enter.

The corridor is still only a dozen meters long, and when it comes to the end, there are three stone doors. Fang Hong was still cautious, and after another trial, he still didn't find any danger, and then he casually found a stone door and walked in.

This corridor is still more than ten meters long, and there are still three stone doors at the end of the corridor. As usual cautiously tempted, he casually found one to enter, and found three more stone gates as usual.

"Brother Fang, no matter how I feel about the road we have traveled, there is no difference. Su Lie said suspiciously. Su Lie's seal was automatically lifted when he returned to the hall.

Su Lie, who came to his senses, also inquired about what happened during his seal. But Fang Hong didn't dare to tell him the truth, he just prevaricated a few words casually, and then passed.

"It makes no difference, but you can't let your guard down, maybe the enemy designed it that way. When we let our guard down, there was a sudden sneak attack. Fang Hong analyzed.

Su Lie responded, and continued to look around vigilantly, beware of someone suddenly coming out to sneak attack. After Fang Hong reminded Su Lie, he didn't relax, he looked around carefully, and entered another fork in the road.

Stone Gate!

Stone Gate!

Stone Gate!

...............

Fang Hong pushed open one stone gate after another, at the beginning, he was still intentionally writing down the route, but later, he couldn't remember how he walked it.

"Brother Fang, this is where we first came in!" Su Lie said.

"Well, indeed. Fang Hong said.

The reason why Fang Hong was able to recognize this as their starting point was not because there was anything special here. Instead, the door at the other end of the corridor was obviously different from the other stone doors, and it was the door when Fang Hong came in.

"Brother Fang, we're lost. Su Lie said.

"It's not like we're lost, we're in a labyrinth now, and it's normal to turn back. Fang Hong said.

Labyrinth, Fang Hong is very unfamiliar with this word, he has never heard of a labyrinth in the other world. In his previous life, although he had the opportunity to experience it, Fang Hong had never been there. One is that no one invites, and going to the maze alone feels more frustrated than drinking alone. The second is that he feels that spending money to walk the maze is spending money to find abuse.

He has never been a person with a strong sense of direction, although he has accidentally seen on the Internet that as long as he walks along a wall, he will definitely find an exit and other secrets for such things as walking through the maze. But he felt that even if he was given a road map, he probably wouldn't be able to get out.

Fang Hong now regrets a little, regretting that he didn't challenge the maze in the first place. If I had gone, at least I wouldn't have had no clue now. What's more, now Fang Hong didn't just have to go out, he also had to find the fragments in the maze, so the difficulty of this task had increased several times.
