Wraiths

The gray and endless wilderness reappeared in front of Darko, and he managed to find the nearest river. The river www.biquge.info very winding and changeable, and it took Dakko a moment to discern the general direction upstream, which was the direction of the peak in the middle of the Hell of the Dead. Without the slightest hesitation, Daktronics directly tore open a directional teleportation scroll and teleported it upstream.
The teleportation distance of the teleportation scroll is limited by the mana stored in it, and Darko can only teleport more than a thousand kilometers at a time. But that's what he's hoping for, so that he can constantly discern the right direction and adjust it the next time he teleports.
After nine teleportations, the mountain range had taken up half of Dako's vision. Darko tightened his backpack and walked in the direction of the highest peak. This time, Dakko brought a soul spar, which is an extremely inclusive substance, which can not only store spiritual power, but also contain a whole single soul, and it is even said that it can carry divinity. Darko's purpose this time is to capture and get some spiritual power crystals for the master to please the master.
"Ah Wu wants to go to free movement, master, you can rest for a while, Ah Wu will come back soon after devouring two souls. ”
"Ah Wu, are you sure you can find that cave?" Darko directly interrupted Ah Wu, "I want to bring a piece of spiritual power to the master when I go back this time, if you can't find the cave or find it there, you know the consequences." "Darko and Bright have learned how to fake the fox, and it is really useful to use this trick to threaten Ah Wu.
Hearing this, Ah Wu heard a trembling spiritual fluctuation, "Ah, great master, the humble Ah Wu really doesn't deserve to be refined into a spiritual power crystal. Ah Wu remembers very well that there was a lot of caves at the foot of that mountain range near the river, and there was absolutely no mistake. ”
Like ghosts, they are essentially free spirits that exist directly without relying on the physical body, but the difference is that ghosts have wisdom but no intelligence. It's like the same living corpse, the wise are the lich, and the unintelligent are the zombies. But in fact, it is more advanced than zombies, because most of the souls of zombies are just fragments of souls, and they can only act on instinct, but they are self-conscious, and they have complete souls.
Unlike the undead in their solid form. Possessed and free undead are not bound by corpses, these undead exist in a free state, but they do not need a bearer, they are often firmly bound to a specific place or object, and can only indirectly manifest their own restless existence.
A ghost like Ah Wu is an undead spirit with an independent consciousness and thinking. And there are also some undead who have no mind and intelligence, they only rely on a wisp of obsession before death to maintain the independence of the soul, and do not break into soul fragments, these undead races are.
In the hell of the dead, the most ferocious existence is that they are incarnated by the beings who died with resentment in their previous lives, they have no body, they have no wisdom, and the last resentment in the past life becomes their obsession, and they are unwilling to survive in the world by virtue of this obsession. Because of the obsession before death, he has a monotonous sense of autonomy, and therefore becomes an existence with strong negative emotions.
Even predators like Ah Wu are reluctant to use them as food, and their souls carry paranoid negativity that can irritate even the most determined souls. If one is refined into a crystallization of spiritual power, the negative emotions it contains make it extremely difficult for the recipient's soul to assimilate, and the rejection is much stronger than that of an ordinary soul with full consciousness and intelligence. Therefore, usually no one will use it as a spiritual body to refine the crystallization of spiritual power, and absorbing such spiritual power is likely to make people affected by negative emotions, and may even become crazy.
But there are no absolutes in everything, and in a large number of places, different people will influence and interact with each other, and occasionally there will be similar grievances fighting and devouring each other. Unlike Ah Wu's devouring spiritual power, the devouring is the negative emotions of the powerful side swallowing the weak side, and the success rate of this devouring is extremely low, unless the resentment is similar, the negative emotions themselves cannot bear it, and thus they die out and become soul fragments. However, once this devouring is successful, the devoured side becomes a pure spirit body without any autonomous consciousness, while the successful devouring side becomes even more powerful, and it is said that if this is continuously devoured, there may even be a lord-level fierce spirit.
What Dakko is looking for this time is the pure spirit body that may exist, that is, after being devoured by negative emotions, it also has a name, called the soul of thoughtlessness. The generation of thoughtless souls is extremely rare, and if you blindly search for it, it can be said that you are looking for a needle in a haystack. Darko had carefully studied the creature chapters of the Undead Hell in Worlds, and with Ah Wu guiding the way, he was able to find the resources he needed in such a targeted manner.
When Darko finally came to the foot of the barrier-like mountain range, which was not far from the river, the liquid dead water flowed from a mountain pass, and Dakko could feel a lord-level powerful presence nearby. Carefully avoiding the lord's territory, he followed Ah Wu's guidance and searched for a long time, and finally found a small cave in a col not far away, which was only half a man high. Although the cave is small, it continues downward, and I don't know how deep it is. The cold ice wind kept gushing out of the cave, and the screeching sound in the wind indicated that a large number of people had accumulated under the hole, otherwise the screaming sound could not be so chaotic.
Darko picked up a rock from the ground and threw it down the hole. The stone fell to the wall of the cave and bounced back again, bouncing and rolling deeper into the cavern, causing a series of crashing sounds. The sound of the collision continued for a long time, and the sound became more and more distant, but until the sound of the stone was drowned out by the sound of the wind, the stone did not fall to an end.
Darko couldn't help but wonder, how deep is this hole? The stone has fallen forty or fifty meters before, and this is not the end yet. Although the pothole is sloping, the vertical distance is probably more than 20 meters.
At such a distance, those screams can still be carried by the wind here, and their huge number can be imagined.
Looking at the unfathomable dark hole, Darko thought for a long time, and decided to go down to have a look, they had already reached the entrance of the cave, and they couldn't just give up.
"Ah Wu, you explore the way. ”
"Okay master, your loyal servant Ah Wu will find the way for you, but Ah Wu suggests that Ah Wu help his master control his body, so that he can reach the bottom of the cave more smoothly. ”
"In the end, you still don't dare to go down by yourself, but you want me to go with you. Although Darko was on the lips, he still agreed to Ah Wu's suggestion. He first cast the Frost Armor Technique on himself, and then tore open a scroll of the Feather Falling Technique, allowing Ah Wu to control his body. Featherfall is a level 4 qi magic that creates a whirlwind to carry its own gravity, causing it to fall as slowly as a feather. This qi magic Darko used it for the first time, and he felt that this spell was simply too weak compared to Wendy's levitation technique.
Ah Wu controlled his body, carefully sliding down the cave wall of the slope, stepping on some raised stone or corner with each step, this is the benefit of letting Ah Wu's spirit body explore the way. Darko found that the feather falling technique also had some effect, and the fourth-level magic scroll copied by Orlando was only equivalent to the third-level effect, although it could not be as light as a falling feather, but it could also make him descend a little slower, and jump down one level at a time.
The pit is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, and the diameter below is about ten meters wide, and it is irregular oval. As he continued to descend, Dakko realized that the crater was longer than he had imagined, falling fifty meters away, and he didn't see the bottom of the pothole, but the further down he went, the wider the space of the pothole.
Jumping all the way down, there are screams passing past Darko one after another. With a translucent mist-like form, like other low-level undead creatures, they also wander unconsciously, and as long as they don't provoke them, they won't actively attack.
At this time, under the perception of Darko's soul, the cave finally reached the bottom, and the space after this cave became larger, but it was too dark here to see the specific size of this space. Fortunately, Ah Wu can rely on his mental power to perceive and report the situation to Dakko from time to time.
"It's a big place! Ah Wu can't feel the edge of this big hole, is this the basement that someone dug out? Wow, there are many, many of them, one after another, at least dozens, no! There are hundreds. They're all tangled, and I can't tell how many ...... there are."
Needless to say, Darko knew that he could hear a large number of voices and a terrible wail all the time.
Dakko is now half an expert in his understanding of the undead, and although the undead have different forms, they can generally be classified into three categories. The first type is the transformation of ecology, they still retain the body and even the mind before death, which is divided into skeletons and living corpses, living corpses refer to zombies, lichs, zombies, etc.; the second type is the possession state, which is directly possessed by the undead on a set of armor, undead creatures without a body, black knights and undead knights are representatives of this category; the third type is the free state, ghosts, evil spirits belong to this category.
All undead creatures can be classified into these three categories, for example, although the appearance of the mummy is covered with strips of cloth, the shape and structure inside are similar to zombies, and the bone dragon, bone demon and other huge undead creatures are essentially skeletons that have been transformed into an ecology.
In fact, the undead in the free state are not completely free, they have not been bound to the body, but they are bound to a certain place, so as to ensure that their souls will not dissipate, as for Ah Wu, before that, it relied on frequent changes of hosts to keep the soul intact, and it could not appear in a free state for too long.
"There is no such thing as a completely free soul, and it is only when you fall into eternal life that you can understand the true meaning of being released from prison and imprisoned. This is the opening sentence of a book on George's bookshelf called "The Fall of Liberty." For some reason, when Darko saw these souls who were still trapped in the cave after their unjust death, he suddenly remembered this sentence.
"Ah Wu, are you sure you can find the soul of thoughtlessness in this mess. Darko was puzzled, his ears were filled with bitter screams, and he couldn't find the shadow of a thoughtless soul anywhere.
"Master, these have negative emotions, so when gathered together, they appear in the form of a mist, the soul of thoughtlessness is a completely pure soul, that is, colorless and transparent, which is easily covered up here, as long as you look carefully, you should be able to find it. Ah Wu hurriedly explained to Darko, but then even he was a little weak.
Bright also affirmed, "As long as the base is large enough, no matter how small the probability of an event is, it is possible to happen, let's take a closer look." ”
With Bright's affirmation, Darko also felt justified and started the planned steps step by step. He tore out a scroll of illumination from his backpack and tore it open, and a dazzling light lit up the entire cavern, and all those around him screamed harder, desperately hiding in the shadows, but they didn't dare to leave the cave. Bursts of fearful mental fluctuations rippled in all directions, and the dense space that had densely filled the entire space exploded like an electric shock in the light.
"Wow, master, don't let it shine casually! Ah Wu is so scared! The master of the previous master always scared Ah Wu like this......
Under the light of the illumination, they all hid in the corner of the cave, and Dakko leaned out his mental power to carefully perceive it, but still couldn't find the soul of thoughtlessness. He was sighing regretfully, only to find that the ground here and there seemed to be unevenness, and there were bumps in the ground.
Darko walked over strangely, brushing away the dust from it, revealing the bones of a human. Then it turned to another uplift, and the dust was swept away, and it was still a pile of bones. In the distance, the irregular bulge on the ground completely filled the entire cavern, and it looked like it was stacked in several layers.
Ah Wu's mental fluctuations began to be disordered, as if he was trembling, and he didn't know whether he was excited or scared, but he dared to feel that they were standing in a huge burial place. Now there is finally an answer to why there are so many here, it turns out that this is a large burial place, and the souls carried by these corpses are finally transformed into these.
Did they dig up a treasure, or did they open up a place of calamity?
