Chapter III: Contact
The corpse wolf, with its grayish-black, decaying body, can walk upright on only two hind legs.
Strictly speaking, it is not a wolf, if it is in the human world, if its body is still alive, this appearance will be called a human wolf.
But this is the Death Prison Realm, and this corpse wolf has no memory at all, even after forming his own consciousness and gaining mental wisdom, he also devoured enough soul power not long ago to turn his soul seed blue.
The corpse wolf with the blue soul seed began to think about things, but unfortunately it had no memory, only a hazy message in its mind, prompting it to search for the palace of death.
What is the Palace of the Dead? Where is it? It doesn't know at all.
But what is the meaning of its existence? At first, it was all instinctive, but now it has its own mind, what can it do?
Nothing else, the only thing it could do was go find the Palace of the Dead.
And in the process of searching, it must strengthen itself, because the message also tells it that it must be strong enough to enter the palace of death.
Nothing can be smooth sailing, the corpse wolf can be lucky enough to strengthen the soul seed to blue, and there must be other beings who are doing the same.
So it encountered the large bird in front of it, which was made of white bones and was twice its size.
As soon as the two sides met, a fierce battle began, without any meaning of communication, just thinking about destroying each other and devouring each other's soul seeds.
The battle passed for a while, and the big bird completely suppressed the corpse wolf with his larger size and flying ability.
On the corpse wolf's side, even if it knew that it was at a disadvantage, it had no intention of running away.
It's patient, it's waiting for an opportunity.
When the soul seed turned blue, it not only gave birth to its own consciousness, but also gave the body a special ability. This ability will be the key to its victory or defeat.
Bang!
The big bird didn't notice the wolf's attempt, the latter just blindly attacked, its long bony beak pecked continuously, but the wolf dodged it, so it pecked heavily on the hard ground, made a heavy muffled sound, and dug out small pits.
"It's not close!"
The corpse wolf's two eyes are cloudy, but it can still see, which is where it has an advantage over the big bone bird, which can only fight by judging the environment through soul thoughts.
Bang!bang——!
The big bird pecked continuously, the corpse wolf blindly dodged, and finally a change appeared, when the big bird's long bony beak pecked the ground again, it actually happened to peck in the small pit it that it had dug before, and under the superposition of the two phases, its beak was stuck at once!
It's really just a moment, just a short breath or two, and with the power of a big bird, it can be pulled out quickly.
But this short moment is enough, and this is the opportunity that the corpse wolf has been waiting for.
"Roar!"
The corpse wolf roared, and when the big bird couldn't move, he jumped with a sharp twist of his legs and jumped onto the big bird's back.
Grunt, puff——!
Without a pause, the corpse wolf took a deep breath, his chest bulging rapidly, his throat squirming heavily, and a large mouthful of green slime spewed out.
Z!
The green slime poured on the back of the big bird, most of which covered its skull, and as soon as it came into contact, it began to corrode violently.
Click!
The big bird struggled silently, knowing that it was under mortal threat. Its two bony wings flapped desperately, trying to shake the corpse wolf off its back, but to no avail, and the latter clung to it.
Z!!!
The green slime that spewed out of the corpse wolf's mouth was so corrosive that in just a moment, the big bird's skull was penetrated, and the slime poured onto its blue soul seed.
The blue soul fire was actually still extremely fragile, most of it was extinguished by the green slime in an instant, and only a small part of it was scattered into more than a dozen soul fragments.
"Hiss——!"
The corpse wolf did not miss the opportunity to strengthen itself, and immediately sucked in with its nose, inhaling about seven or eight strands of soul fragments, making its whole body tremble comfortably.
The few remaining soul fragments quickly vanished, and it didn't have time to use them all for its own use.
Smack!
After refreshment, the corpse wolf jumped down from the big bony bird that had collapsed to the ground, looked at the strongest enemy by far with cloudy eyes, and finally flicked his tail and prepared to leave.
Click, click, click......
Suddenly, a voice came from far and near, causing the corpse wolf to instinctively stop.
The sound came from behind, and it immediately turned around, and then saw a human skeleton, approaching it step by step.
There are thousands of skeletons killed by the corpse wolf, most of them are only white soul species with the lowest level, and a few are green, but they have never seen anything like this in front of them.
The skeleton in front of him was no different as a whole, the only special thing was the dazzling red fire that came out of its two eye sockets.
Another point is that the corpse wolf actually has an instinct.
It is very sensitive to danger, and with the presence of a white-green soul seed, it knows at a glance that it is weaker than itself. And when I saw the big white-boned bird before, I knew it was a strong enemy for the first time.
Only the skeleton that was approaching in front of him and had a dazzling red glow in its eye sockets was different, and it could not perceive any information at all.
Is it weak or strong? There is no sense of danger at all. But there is no desire to kill and devour when you see a weak existence in the past.
Although the corpse wolf has transformed into a blue soul seed and has normal thinking ability, it has too little knowledge. Of course, it doesn't know that some exist and have the ability to hide itself.
Zhou Chen relied on a treasure, a shulker bead.
This bead was obtained in the previous world, and although it is a chicken rib, it is also a heaven-level treasure.
It is very special, it does not need to be sacrificed for a long time, and it can be retracted and released freely by just dripping blood.
Zhou Chen's crossing was with the Binglin Sword and the Shulker Bead, and at this time, they were all shrunk hundreds or thousands of times in his soul seed.
The Shulker Bead has the ability to hide strength and breath, and it doesn't need Zhou Chen to use soul thoughts or mana to actively activate it, this ability is always on, and it is a permanent passive ability that has no consumption at all.
In fact, even if there was no shulker bead, as long as Zhou Chen intended to restrain it, the corpse wolf would definitely not be able to detect any breath.
The gap between the two sides is too big.
However, the corpse wolf's self-consciousness has not been born for a long time, and it is curious.
Since it didn't feel the danger, it wanted to make contact and take a look, so it waited motionlessly for Zhou Chen to approach.
Click, click, click......
Zhou Chen walked step by step, not in a hurry or slowly, the bones of the soles of his feet collided with the hard ground, and the rhythmic sound was struck.
Finally, he walked up to the corpse wolf.
