Chapter 62: Flames

It was pitch black in the field, and there was not a single light in sight. Du Shen, www.biquge.info pen "Fun" pavilion, stood alone in the river valley, surrounded by 160 skeletons. It's not easy to gather these skeletons.

About two months ago, Du Shen sneaked out of the Furnace Valley. He creates skeletons and collects the DreadForce along the way. Thanks to the temple's earlier publicity, Du Shen could easily harvest a large amount of Force power by casually exposing the traces of skeletons in densely populated areas.

The Force is easy to collect, and Du Shen naturally tries to create pseudo-divine power. After all, the growth of the elemental core requires the nourishment of a large amount of external energy.

Du Shen led the skeletons to attack the noble territory, which soon attracted the attention of the temple. At the same time, the Templars sent several groups of elemental envoys to lead many knights to hunt him down.

You must know that pseudo-divine power is generated by human emotions such as fighting spirit and hedging fear of the force. Using Nai He Zhu to collect positive emotions such as fighting spirit is not a proper job. This process does not need Du Shen's control all the time. Moreover, the range of positive emotions is not as wide as that of the Force of Fear. Because of Nai He Zhu's innate limitations, Du Shen could only collect positive emotions within the control of the skeleton soldiers.

To put it simply: Du Shen's current spiritual attribute is about 11 points. His fine control over skeleton soldiers is about 130 meters. If you want to create pseudo-divine power, the distance between Du Shen and the enemy cannot exceed 130 meters.

It cannot be more than 130 meters from the battlefield. It can be imagined how much inconvenience this has caused to Du Shen. At the end of many battles, Du Shen had to leave a large number of skeletons behind in order to get rid of the enemy's pursuit.

What's more, with the confluence of several Templar pursuers. Many times, Du Shen had to completely abandon the skeleton soldiers and let them be exterminated in order to cover himself. Skeletons don't fly. Their intelligence is limited, and once out of control, they are unable to hide traces of action. Without Du Shen's leadership and control, they were easily discovered by the pursuers.

Because of this, although the collection of the Dreadful Force has become easy, and although the upper limit of Nai Hezhu's control has been raised to 220 units, in the past two months, the monster subordinates beside Du Shen have hardly been able to exceed a hundred.

At this time, the 160 skeletons around Du Shen had been collected by him in the past ten days. In the past half a month, Du Shen has not attacked any humans. Thanks to the tens of thousands of people in Qinyin City, Du Shen made several trips, and it was not easy to create so many subordinates in this remote river valley.

At this time, Du Shen gathered his subordinates, not planning to attack a certain aristocratic territory. He was ready to try to see if he could get the space equipment he coveted. The reason why he gathered his subordinates was just a fluke just in case.

The target of Du Shen's attempt was the pendant that was snatched from Teressa's neck. In his previous life, Du Shen had heard rumors about this pendant. The rumors are so varied that Du Shen is not sure of the specific utility of the pendant. Du Shen can only be sure of one thing: the pendant must have a certain storage function.

This alone is worth coveting for the current Du Shen.

Du Shen checked his state again: full of energy, he had stored two thousand points of force power, and he could create another 20 skeletons at any time.

Be mentally prepared to deal with any abnormalities at any time, Du Shen summoned Nai He Zhu. However, the bead is close to the back of the right hand, and the pendant is only separated by the palm of the hand.

Du Shen's thought moved, and a trace amount of pseudo-divine power was extracted from the Nai He bead and flowed into the pendant through the palm of his hand. The pendant is like a bottomless pit, no matter how much energy flows in, it disappears in an instant. Du Shen gradually increased the output.

A moment later, the pseudo-divine power in the pearl was on the verge of exhaustion. Du Shen was worried about the lack of divine power, and the pendant finally changed.

Silvery white light flowed along the chain. In just a few blinks, the pendant completely changed color: from the original brown and red mixed with jet black, to silver and white. The appearance of the pendant has not changed. As the faint silver light disappeared, Du Shen felt in a trance, and a rich black erupted from the pendant. It was as if a thick black curtain obscured the sky and covered the earth.

Suddenly, Du Shen realized that the connection between the 160 skeletons and himself had become very weak. Du Shen tried to give an order to the skeleton. He receives a response from the skeleton, but is unable to locate it.

Du Shen's eyes widened, and he couldn't feel any light. He felt as if he had been brought into another environment. Before, in the wild, although there was no lighting, Du Shen could at least blur the outline of the skeleton around him. But at this time, Du Shen stretched out his palm in front of his eyes, but he couldn't distinguish the outline.

After a short wait, Du Shen couldn't hear any movement. He followed his memory and began to walk forward. The valley was wide and flat, and Du Shen remembered that there were no obstacles nearby. He walked faster and faster, and several times he turned, but he failed to touch the expected slope.

Du Shen gave up his futile attempt and quietly pondered countermeasures. Suddenly, Du Shen noticed a flashing red light in front of him. The red light spread, and in the blink of an eye, it was a large area. Du Shen's eyes widened, and he found that the red light was bright, turning into a stream of water, surging over.

As the distance approached, Du Shen felt that the current carried a scorching heat. Du Shen was quickly surprised and woke up: where is the water flowing here, it is clearly scorching magma. Du Shen immediately turned around and fled.

However, the red magma is completely contrary to common sense. As soon as Du Shen turned around, there was originally a long distance of magma, which flooded his body in an instant.

"Ahh He seemed to be drowning, and he kept throwing up. Du Shen felt burned all over his body at the same time. This pain, getting more and more intense. So much so that Du Shen was worried that he might be burned as ashes at any time.

Du Shen could already smell the stench of his own flesh being burned. He hurriedly mobilized Nai He Zhu to make skeletons. He tried to get his feet on the skull and get rid of the scorching lava.

However, as soon as the skeleton appeared, it disappeared in the blink of an eye. Du Shen made several in succession, all of which encountered the same situation. Du Shen sensed the few skeletons that had disappeared, and he could detect a faint connection, as if they were far away.

Du Shen was instantly overjoyed: "Fake! This magma is fake!"

Magma, perhaps, is indeed fake. Because of the few skeletons that disappeared, they experienced a brief immersion in magma, but they did not seem to be damaged in the slightest. However, the sharp pain that Du Shen felt was absolutely real.

Du Shen's joy didn't last long. He soon let out another scream: "Ah! It's fake! It's all fake! This must be just a mental illusion!"

Du Shen's shouting and self-hypnosis failed to produce much effect. He still felt a lot of pain, and he couldn't help it.

Du Shen had a brain teaser and thought of any way to alleviate the pain. He urged the elemental core in his chest, trying to get the fire to absorb the heat he had suffered.

After several urgings, Tinder did respond to Du Shen. However, no matter how much it was urged, the fire in his chest did not absorb any heat. It's as if the burning heat that Du Shen felt doesn't exist at all.

The stimulation of severe pain made Du Shen desperate. He ordered the fire to release heat and fight poison with poison.

The release of the fire seems to have really worked. At least Du Shen felt a little relaxed. Du Shen was overjoyed and couldn't help but increase the release of the fire.

However, soon, Du Shen felt the crisis again: his fire kept releasing energy, and there was a tendency to gradually extinguish.

"How's that going to work! Tinder is hard to get. Moreover, a lot of pseudo-divine power has been offered. Du Shen really didn't want to start all over again, it was his hard work for nearly a year.

Du Shen hurriedly drew the pseudo-divine power in the Nai He Zhu to replenish the loss of the fire. He abruptly interrupted the release of the fire. Severe pain ensued. Du Shen patience, patience, patience......

In the end, Du Shen still couldn't help it, and let the fire release heat again to alleviate his pain.

However, there is not much pseudo-divine power left in the bead. The spark was quickly drained and weakened again.

"The fire may go out, but I can't bear the pain of burning. Du Shen was ruthless, urging the fire hard, and ordered it to draw energy directly from his body.

The tinder moves. It seems to drill into Du Shen's blood vessels, and flows with the blood all over Du Shen's body. Du Shen seemed to feel many tiny needles. At the same time, they plunge into the depths of flesh and blood, extracting Du Shen's life force.

The change in the fire made Du Shen feel a tingling pain from the depths of his body. This stinging pain is like scraping a bone and extracting the marrow, but it is not as painful as the pain caused by external cautery. As the stinging intensifies, Du Shen gradually forgot about the burning sensation outside his body.

The fire kept moving, and what was actually extracted was not Du Shen's life force, but the fear and life divinity that had precipitated deep in his body. The two groups of divinity that Du Shen fused at the beginning were too high in quality and quantity to be completely digested compared to his body. At this time, it is absorbed and fused by the fire.

I don't know how long it has been, the stinging pain has subsided, and Du Shen only feels deep exhaustion. He opened his eyes and saw a finger-sized flame floating in front of his chest. Du Shen understood with a single thought: the flame burning quietly in his chest was his elemental core.

Du Shen felt very surprised: the formless and insubstantial elemental core was actually separated from the body and turned into a tangible flame.

Du Shen didn't know: if the state of his flame was known by the high-level leaders of several temples, he was afraid that they would also be very surprised. Because the change of Du Shen's fire has never appeared in this world.

In this world, since the initial ignorance of human beings to fuse the core of the elements, for thousands of years, the elemental fire after people's fusion has never been formless and substantial. Where will it be like Du Shen's transformation out of the body, and like an arm making a finger.

Du Shen has not yet woken up to the significance of the change in the fire. He was just a thought to bring the fire back into his body.

Perhaps it is the advantage of the mutation of the tinder. Du Shen was still soaked in magma, and he could still feel the heat contained in the magma, but he no longer had to bear the pain of burning.

The crisis was lifted, and Du Shen observed his situation again.

It was still pitch black all around, and Du Shen was drifted forward by the surging magma. He couldn't help but shout, "Is there anyone? I know someone is controlling the magma." Let's talk. Your means can't help me!"
