The monsters in the Gray Realm will drop this small stone when they are burned to death by the white flame, which should be another version of the magic stone. Since it was burned by white flames, Gaode named it "Flame Stone".

Originally, the people under the tower absorbed the magic stone, and they would feel that the soul was more condensed and powerful, but that was actually an illusion, and the magic stone was just transferring more souls to the magic tower. Now absorbing the Flame Stone can be converted into free energy, which directly strengthens the demon body, which means that it is more resistant to burning.

This is just Gao De's situation, his soul is different from that of Li Rongniang and others. His soul can't be burned at all, just like Xiao Chu's ontological figure. However, after the flame stone is absorbed, it becomes free energy, does that mean that for Li Rongniang and them, it can not only strengthen the demon body, but also strengthen the soul?

I heard Huoyan Yang say just now that the fireworks were burning souls, but they burned something like gravel. Gao De guessed that it might be the special feeling that the soul was burned more densely by the white flames. If they keep burning and eventually burn their souls to a dense state and can't burn anymore, they will be no different from themselves.

This is both speculation and hope, and if this is the case, it confirms Gaode's conjecture that the difference between him and ordinary people is only the state of his soul. His soul is pure, while the soul of ordinary people has impurities. After this white flame ...... That is, after the power of mortals is burned, the soul is as pure as him.

"Is it enough to absorb this little stone?"

Li Rongniang picked up a stone, only the size of the fingernail of her little finger, warm and crystal more like white jade.

The flame stone disappeared in her hand, and the blood demon's body flashed a faint white light, extremely faint, but everyone saw it.

"It's really possible!" Li Rongniang said in surprise: "It's like eating a toffee, sweet and warm, with a little more strength on my body, I feel like I can last a little longer." ”

With a snort, the three figures lay on the ground and found the flame stone.

"If you use this kind of fire to burn the monsters in the ash realm, you will drop this kind of stone?" Li Rongniang was relieved: "The problem is really solved." ”

"I can't absorb it," Lu Jiumei picked up a flame stone and tried it, but there was no result, and after handing it to Li Rongniang, she said: "And the problem is not solved, this kind of fire is only burning in our souls, so you can release it, boss." This means that only the Boss can get this kind of stone, and we have to wait for you to distribute it. ”

"I'm not worried that the boss will use this to blackmail us, or that it will be unevenly distributed, but I'm worried that the boss you don't have so much time to stay in the gray realm all the time. Such a small stone should not be delayed for too long. ”

Lu Jiumei is right, the problem has not been solved!

"What are you going to do?"

Gao De hugged his arm and pinched his chin, trying to think, but saw Xiao Chu float away. She really walks like a ghost.

Seeing that she was not returning to the temple but drifting towards the edge of the valley, Gao De hurriedly beckoned her: "Don't run around, this place should still be very unstable now." ”

"You said I was the housekeeper here, and you were right. Xiao Chu said indifferently: "When you were chatting just now, I had already sorted out the mess in my mind. ”

She drifted to a place where the confusion was still lit, it was the old Majin Circle, and now it was supposed that the Majin had destroyed or altered the Scales of Chaos, turning the entrance into ruins.

"There's something here. She crouched down and dug a few times, digging out a wind lamp.

"Soul Lamp," she floated back with the lamp, "This is matched with the Chaos Scale, and if a Chaos Scale is activated in this life, there will be one more Soul Lantern in the Gray Realm." ”

Gao De took it and saw that it was the kind of lamp he used as a tourist to kill false demons outside the valley. Only then did he notice that it was almost exactly the same as the miner's lamp in the present world, how did this get into the gray realm? Or was the miner's lamp in the present world a remnant of the Chaos Scales?

"It's broken," there were already several cracks in the shell, and the messy interior could be seen, presumably destroyed along with the Scales of Chaos.

"Do I have it there?" Lu Jiumei ran back to the demon circle where she came, although it was still bubbling with blood, it was mixed with white flames, and it looked very unstable.

"You can't dig it out," Xiao Chu floated over, explaining patiently, as if entering the role of a housekeeper. "This is not the present world, but a gray realm where the virtual and the real are intertwined. There is something in this valley that only I know, and only I can take. ”

As she spoke, she touched the light of the circle, and unexpectedly brought out a lamp out of thin air, which was still on.

Before the Darkhand Blood Tower, whether it was communicating with blood-colored filaments or arranging for visitors and demons to collect demon dust, it meant a lot of calculation and scheduling. For example, the valley mouth distributes and collects this kind of lamp, Gao De does not think that the "Tari" master will do such a tedious and boring thing, there must be a similar existence of Taling. The one who can do this kind of thing now is Xiao Chu.

"The lights are on," Lu Jiumei whispered in surprise, "It's the same color as mortal fire." ”

She took the lamp, thoughtful.

"You can try," Gao De encouraged her, "take your lamp to kill the pseudo-demon, and then come back to Xiao Chu, she should be able to take something out of the lamp, and see if it's this kind of stone when the time comes." ”

Lu Jiumei nodded, that's what she guessed.

"She's not from the tower, so the lamp is in the magic circle," Seeing Lu Jiumei leave the valley with the lamp, Li Rongniang asked, "What about us? Where is our lamp?"

After the old man Xiahou and Pang Yang and his wife finished picking up the stones, they also cared about this problem.

"Your lamp," Xiao Chu turned his head to look at her hall, a little irritated and a little helpless: "It's inside, including your seats, but you don't need it." ”

The bride stretched out her finger and poked Gao De: "You are like him, your soul is directly burning, and you can release that kind of fire." ”

"Can we put it too?"

Old man Xiahou immediately tested, "It's like sucking a stone, just change the sucking to spitting." ”

The old man poked out a tentacle from his shoulder, shook violently, and gradually shone light. Initially emitted a turquoise glow, which quickly faded until it turned into a pale cyan firework.

"Bad ......"

Seeing that the cyan color continued to fade, the fireworks were about to turn into white flames, but they suddenly dissipated. The old man Xiahou in the form of a human-faced tree shook and fell to the ground with a poof.

"Stone...... Stone ......"

He hurriedly took out the flame stone he had just picked up, greedily absorbed it, and at the same time kept complaining: "No, no, no, if you release it a little, you feel like you are going to ascend to heaven." ”

"Then there is only a lamp," Li Rongniang asked curiously: "Chu Niangzi just now...... Uh, Xiao Chu said about our seats, is that the palm print we left in the magic tower before?"

"That's the one," Xiao Chu said, "There are thousands of palm prints left on the Demon Tower, and after the Demon Tower was burned down, only you didn't cut off your connection with here, so only you got the seat." ”

"It's inside?" Li Rongniang looked at the hall in the center of the valley, a little afraid, "Can we go in?"

The hall that replaced the previous magic tower was quite similar to the palace in the Endless Palace, but what made her and Pang Yang couple scared was the faint white flame. At this time, the white flames were no longer as fierce as before, but they were still like huge pillars of light covering the temple, rising into the sky, illuminating the entire valley.

"I'm afraid not now, you're too weak to bear it," Xiao Chu shook his head: "I'll help you take out the lamp." ”

"Don't be discouraged," Gao De encouraged them: "If you can't do it now, you will definitely do it later." ”

This mechanism is the same as that of the Bloodwrath Field, where Gao De is not the master who rules everything, but only the master and the others. This is completely in line with Gao De's nature, he doesn't want to shoulder all the responsibilities alone, and those who see it have a share.

"It doesn't matter if you can't go in," the old man Xiahou relieved himself and shouted, "As long as you can kill monsters and burn stones, and practice by sucking stones, this is enough." ”

Gao De wanted to say something, but opened his mouth and closed it again.

It really doesn't matter if you enter it or not, but this kind of idea that you are just practicing for yourself, sooner or later you will realize that it is just a dream. This gray realm ignites the fire of mortals, and it will inevitably attract even more powerful forces of chaos. At that time, it will not be a question of cultivation, but a question of whether or not you can save your soul.

Now emphasizing that this aspect of the matter hit them too hard, Gao De could only keep silent. He didn't feel guilty, compared to the previous Demon Tower route whose fate was tied to the people of the Tower, the Soul Burning Route he made now was at least his own destiny.

"Later?"

Li Rongniang was looking forward to it: "I must go in!"

"Of course it's good to be able to get in," Talon Pang thought a little farther: "In the future, there will definitely be fewer demons gathered here than there will be as many as the Darkhand Blood Tower, but it won't be just us, right? ”

"Speaking of which," Huoyan Yang was more careful, and thought of the question that Gao De was busy sorting out his thoughts and hadn't had time to think about: "The magic tower is burned down, the adults in the tower are finished, and the demons are gone, is this still called the Dark Hand Blood Tower?"

"Well...... this"

Gao De crossed his arms and looked at it, and the white flames were still burning on the ridges around him, burning the spiky thorns, along with the fallen centipede monsters, into puffs of black ash. Black snow flew in the flames, like a wasteland reborn. The originally tall and stout magic tower in the center of the valley disappeared and became a palace in the style of the Great Ming Dynasty, which suddenly appeared open and solemn. The giant pillar of white light soared straight into the sky, and the white light sprinkling it painted the picture with a layer of wax, with the dark field and the colorful canopy, which had a bit of the sacred taste of the hand-me-down scroll.

"This valley is called the Valley of the Absolute Soul," Gao De said: "That hall is called the Absolute Soul Palace, Xiao Chu, you are the master of the Absolute Soul Palace." ”

The name "Absolute Soul" still sounds like the tone of the demons, but the real meaning is to use mortal fire to cleanse the soul and isolate chaos.

"Soulless...... The palace master ......" Xiao Chu was very satisfied with the name, "Very good, I have been struggling with the identity of the county lord and the princess, and now that I am the palace master, I can make up for some of her shortcomings." ”

She asked, "What about you? What about you? Are you still demons?"

Worthy of being an inhuman Gray Realm steward, she knew that the path that Gao De had made was completely different from the demons of the past.

"We?" Thinking that everyone here in the future would carry a lamp, and it would be a lit lamp, Gao De said casually: "Let's call it the lantern bearer." ”

"Lantern Man......" Li Rongniang sighed: "It's a bit lonely." “

"That's right," the human-faced tree stood up tremblingly, and the old man Xiahou said: "Burn the soul as a wick demon body as lamp oil, and we ourselves are lamps." How many demons can dare to do this? I don't think there will be one in ten. ”

"It's all burning anyway," Talon smiled bitterly, "there's no turning back." ”

"Since you're burning, I can only burn. Fire-eyed Yang handed out a affectionate gaze, with her appearance as a blood demon multi-eyed person at the moment, it really gave people goosebumps all over her body.

The so-called name is justified, this gray realm has a new name, and he also has a pronoun different from that of the demon, and everyone immediately became active. Let Xiao Chu take their respective lamps and carry them straight to the outside of the valley to kill monsters and absorb stones.

Not long after they went out, Lu Jiumei returned.

Xiao Chu stretched out his hand and pressed it, pulling out a ray of white light from the lamp, and there were several more gravel-like flame stones in his hand.

"Soul Valley, Soul Palace, Lantern Man ......"

Lu Jiumei held the small stone and sighed with emotion: "There are also flame stones, all of which are new." ”

"If you're worried, you don't have to rush into the palace to get a seat," Gao De understood her state of mind very well, "I don't know how far this road can go, but I don't have a choice." ”

"I'm not worried about the safety of this road," Lu Jiumei shook his head, "This fire is mortal fire, the same as the power that the Emperor and Xingtian have, even if it can't be immortal like the Tari people in the end, there is nothing to regret." Boss, you're right, the path of the magic tower is the evil way for the people in the tower to oppress the people under the tower, and there is no good end for it. ”

"I'm just worried about one thing......"

It was meaningless and ridiculous to look at each other in the gray realm, but at this time, Gao De sensed a trace of sincerity belonging to mortals in the face of the demonic and extremely hideous inhuman face of the demon boiling blood man.

Lu Jiumei was obsessed with this question, "Boss, you ...... What the hell are you going to do......

"What ...... I"

Gao De was also stunned, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Do you care if I miss a poem?"

Without waiting for an answer, he hurriedly said: "Forget it, since you are so sincere, then I can't go around in circles." I know you've always thought I'm doing something deep and planning something big, and now I'm telling you, it's just your delusion. ”

"What I wanted to do was not hidden from the beginning, just for safety, to save my life, to live better, in a nutshell was to ...... Careless. ”

He exhaled and oscillated a sincere light wave: "I don't want things to develop like this, but since they have come to this point, I can only go hard." I would never do such a thing as an enemy of the Ming Dynasty or even the Holy Mountain, and of course I don't have to be an enemy of the demons, including the organizations of the Blood Tower Society, the Sea Tower Society. The Golden Turtle and the Hidden Hand Blood Tower are just endangering me...... We had no choice but to take action. ”

"Thank you, boss," Lu Jiumei was relieved, but he spoke as brainless as a straight man: "I don't know if the boss is lying to me, but since the boss wants to make me believe this, then I can at least feel at ease for the time being." I'm going to join in, become a human being like everyone else, and ......"

The demon's smile was a little funny, "And then work hard not to be devoured by the demon." ”

"Don't forget that you have one more thing to do," Gao De advised, "find your boss, the boss of the mahout institute, as soon as possible, and fix what I said." ”

Lu Jiumei asked, "What is this for?" I don't suspect your intentions, boss, but I'm just worried that if you get together with him, something will happen again. ”

In this guy's heart, I'm afraid that he is already the king of trouble, Gao De smiled bitterly, he really can't tell about this, who made him the invincible identity of the king appear in just a few months, and so many things have happened.

"Don't worry, I won't have a conflict with him," he mumbled.

"Okay," Lu Jiumei replied helplessly: "He is still recuperating at home, he should come to the elephant training center tomorrow, and I will mention it to him." ”

"Be proactive, just like you did in the Punishment Department," Gao De said with a little teasing, "so that he won't doubt your intentions." ”

When Gao De opened his eyes, it was already dusk, and he was sure that the mortal fire could not be burned in this world, but there was a slight sting in his heart, and he was disappointed and relieved. At least this world is still a pure material world, otherwise he wouldn't know how to distinguish between reality and fiction.

"Lanternman ......"

Thinking of the name he casually chosen, Gao De suddenly felt as if he had really done something very great.

If this continues, can the ideal of getting a pension still be realized?
