Chapter Fifty-Nine: Broken Mind
On that messy sandy land, the raised sand dunes were all swept away, and there were holes drilled out in many places, and the most conspicuous thing was a huge sandworm that no longer moved in a big pit, the two-meter-thick, nearly twenty-meter-long body, covered with hard scales, Captain Yao couldn't imagine how powerful the sandworm was when it was still alive.
How did they kill this sandworm? The Imperial Qi Realm may not even be able to break through the defenses, right?
Seeing the four people lying still next to the big pit, Captain Yao's heart tightened suddenly, and bad thoughts began to emerge, and she hurriedly ran in to check the status of the four people.
But when Captain Yao walked in, one of them suddenly sat up and looked at her, startling her.
I thought it was who...... Yin Jiuchen got up and took a look, then lay down again: "No need to check, we're all fine, let's take a rest." ”
Captain Yao stood awkwardly in place
Yin Jiuchen didn't care what she was thinking, and seriously closed her eyes to recover her body. After the battle, an unexpected thing happened, when Yin Jiuchen closed his eyes and exuded soul power to relieve his exhaustion, he accidentally touched a broken soul fragment.
This is the soul of a sandworm? It doesn't feel complete.
A soul body in the shape of a sandworm appeared in Yin Jiuchen's spiritual world, Yin Jiuchen thought about it, and cast the devouring spell contained in the True Spirit Dissection Method, under this intentional transformation, the broken soul of the sandworm was purified and integrated into Yin Jiuchen's soul, and his soul power increased a little.
In addition, the broken soul of the sandworm also contains some memories of his life, all of which are fragmentary memory fragments, and the only useful one is a martial art that belongs to the sandworm itself, but it is also very chicken.
"Yellow Rank Intermediate Martial Skill: Stone Scale Armor. ”
Yin Jiuchen was surprised to digest the information that appeared after devouring the sandworm's mind, and he didn't know what expression to make, but he didn't expect that not only the mysterious black crystal fragment, but also some high-level beast souls that were retained after death also had the same effect, and they would contain some information.
Yin Jiuchen guessed that this might be related to the continuation of the beast clan's own unique bloodline.
Beasts are born without learning martial arts or exercises like humans, those martial arts have been retained in their souls since birth, as long as the bloodline awakening is enough, they will untie the shackles of the corresponding inheritance information.
Devouring the soul of the sandworm, Yin Jiuchen's soul increased slightly, but it was not much, it might take ten copies of such a broken soul to make his soul power rise from the fifth order of the imperial qi to the sixth level of the imperial qi. Thinking about dealing with at least ten such sandworms, Yin Jiuchen felt that it was more reliable to practice the exercises on weekdays.
After confirming that the crisis was resolved, Captain Yao also put her mind at ease, she looked at the four people lying on the sand without any image, especially Yin Jiuchen, whose aura was only in the third order of forging the body, but was obviously led by the four people, wanted to say something, but in the end she still didn't say anything, turned around and went back to let the caravan lift the guard.
As the night passed, the sun rose, and everyone's vision gradually returned to normal. When the members of the caravan saw the battlefield that had changed the landscape a hundred meters away, and saw the huge monster covered with hard scales, they couldn't help but feel uneasy. I didn't expect them to die so close last night, if we followed the practice of everyone gathered around last night, the sandworms only need to break through the ground in the center of the line, and a sweep can kill many people.
This monster that should have been unstoppable was stopped by the Yin Jiuchen team and successfully killed!
With such a powerful mercenary, the hearts of the caravan members are much more stable, and the happiest thing is naturally the leader Fang, who not only hired a powerful mercenary team like the Silver Jiuchen team, but also purchased the materials of the sandworm.
However, he also knew that the Silver Jiuchen team had paid a lot, increasing the commission to the normal level of two gold coins, and taking care of the medicine to treat the injuries.
In the caravan, many people's attitudes have changed, and they are obviously enthusiastic about the four of Yin Jiuchen. Captain Yao hasn't changed much, he still drinks when he has nothing to do, but he doesn't make things difficult for Yin Jiuchen anymore.
The group survived the scorching heat of the day and the cold of the desert at night, and finally arrived at a supply depot in the middle of the desert. The supply depot rests next to a not-so-small desert oasis where many caravans choose to rest and replenish supplies such as dry food and water.
During the free time, the four of Yin Jiuchen wandered around the supply station, but it was too monotonous here, except for the hotel where supplies were replenished and rested, the only thing left was the tavern. The four of them discussed it for a moment, changed their attire to hide their faces so that they didn't look too young, and with the creak of the wooden door of the tavern, they entered the wine-rich room.
The tavern was very lively, some people were talking, some people were drinking silently, and the four of them found a corner, each ordered a glass of wine that was not too strong, listened to the news from all over the world, and passed the time.
Yin Jiuchen was more keenly observant, and he found that there were many people like them, sitting in the corner after dressing up, observing other people talking, Yin Jiuchen guessed that it should be someone who participated in the training, I don't know if it was an alumnus.
No wonder I didn't see any reaction to the tokens on my body along the way, it turned out that they were all taken away by the person walking in front.
At this time, the tavern was not talking about each other as usual, but talking about the same topic.
"Anyway, we've been here for almost ten days, when will we be able to walk this way?"
"Who knows? There's a big guy like that in front of you, and no one can get through. ”
"Didn't the famous Golden Sword Mercenary Regiment go to check it out? Why is there no news?"
"I heard that all of them are missing, and I don't know if any of them survived. ”
"It's so terrible, alas, my goods are about to start to deteriorate, and if I can't go any further, I will only lose money on this trip. ”
"Can anyone come to Stormwind?"
"Who knows, it will take a lot of time to go back and forth, and you may not be able to find a helper. ”
For a while, the tavern was full of sighing and sighing, and the atmosphere was a little sluggish.
At this moment, the door of the tavern was vigorously pushed open, and a tall figure walked in. He was clad in white armor studded with gold, with a golden sword at his waist, and his cloak was also white, filling the dimly lit tavern with light. Although the expression on his tough face is calm, he can feel the hidden storm in it.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I am the leader of the Golden Sword Mercenary Regiment, Jin Wu. Presumably everyone already knows that the "Lord of Quicksand" is in turmoil on the road ahead, this beast has so far killed dozens of passers-by, I have sent a deputy to quell the chaos, but I know that the beast is too cunning, and has the skill of quicksand, manipulating the sand and soil, the team is swallowed by the sand, and there is no trace so far. ”
"Jin Mou's strength is weak, today I want to gather all the mercenaries in the supply station to crusade against the 'Lord of Quicksand', Jin Mou will compete with the beasts head-on, can you help Jin Mou's strength?"
