Chapter 15: Metallic Zombies

"Welcome to the Master Alchemist, Pipiru's Mage Tower!"

When Pipiru pushed open the gate of the mage tower, a fishy smell came to his face, of course, Xia Yi naturally couldn't smell the smell, but felt the smell of decay in the air, and the miscellaneous goods in the mage tower were piled up, sour and pungent.

In the center are strange jars and jars, all carved out of stone or bone, as well as some ancient instruments that Xia Yi does not recognize, which appear to have been scrapped. Strange and even more tattered objects are placed around, including rusty weapons and armor, broken machines, etc.

"This is Pipiru's laboratory, where countless great products have been developed, but unfortunately they can't be spread to the mainland!"

Shay walked over to a stone table and picked up a transparent jar containing purple potions, tightly sealed, and absentmindedly accosted Pipiru.

"Pipiru, are you a lich? Or zombies? In short, unlike skeletons, skeletons are meatless. How did you end up in the Forsaken Lands? I met a strong woman who wanted to come to the Forsaken Land for sightseeing, but she couldn't help it. ”

"Anyone else wants to come to the Forsaken Lands? Call her to death! There is no way to come to the Forsaken Land, and even if he did, he would be a slave of the Lord God of Darkness, and it would be impossible to go back! ”

Pipiru carried Xia Yi on his back, squatted on the ground and repaired a piece of armor, and knocked it with a hammer a few times, this armor was so badly rotted that it was crumbled into slag powder by Pipiru's casual knock.

"As for Pipiru, he is the greatest alchemist in history, how can he die of old age so easily? So I prayed to give my soul to the Lord God of darkness in exchange for eternal life. But I don't know where something went wrong, and I woke up to the forsaken land. The Lord of Darkness appreciates Master Pipiru's feats and has transformed me into a unique undead creature that is neither a skeleton nor a zombie. ”

Xia Yi's eyes rolled with a burst of contempt, and he didn't know how much braggart there was in Pipiru's words, and he was about to unscrew the cork of the potion in his hand, when Pipiru saw it when he turned around, and the latter jumped up in fright.

"Stop! Shopkeeper's! This can't be opened! ”

Pipiru jumped a few steps to Xia Yi and walked with him, jumped up to reach Xia Yi's hand, and snatched the potion.

"This is an invisibility potion, once opened, it will fail in a few hours, and the air in the Forsaken Land is too corrosive! Mixed with the dragon flame of the bone dragon, the poisonous miasma of the swamp, and the venom of the zombie, Pipiru almost took his life in order to find the materials for the stealth potion! ”

In fact, the dragon flame was collected by Pipiru on the battlefield after the battle of the bone dragon, and the zombie's venom is only the corpse fluid of a lowest-level zombie.

Xia Yi and Pipiru signed a master-servant contract, but Pipiru's inexplicable self-esteem was strange, and he didn't call Xia Yi the master, but called the shopkeeper, and Xia Yi didn't pursue his weird title, but wiped his hand that had just touched the medicine bottle.

"Can you use such a disgusting ingredient?" Chailly habitually covered her mouth and nose.

"Hah! Shopkeeper, this is an abandoned place, but there are no strange flowers and herbs on the mainland! Pipiru carefully put back the invisibility potion, and suddenly asked, "By the way, the shopkeeper, it stands to reason that you can't see Pipiru who has rubbed the invisibility potion, could it be that the potion has expired?" ”

When Pipiru looked at it, the liquid in the bottle was translucent and violet-blue, and it didn't look like it was invalid.

"Guess."

Shay's answer made Pipiru angry, but he couldn't figure out what he had done wrong.

Pipiru, who inherited the wisdom of the goblins, also has the shortcomings of the goblins. Smart enough to refine an invisibility potion, but stupid enough to stand on a stone chair in the hall, and thanks to Pipiru standing on the chair in order to experience the feeling of looking down on Shay, otherwise Shay wouldn't have been able to grab Pipiru's neck in one fell swoop.

"What is this?"

Just when Pipiru was frustrated, Xia Yi saw a machine, several thick chains pulling a short board, looking up along the chain to see the floor above the mage tower, tied to the highest point, and a few pulleys, very much like a lift! Just looking at the rust on it, it doesn't seem to have been used.

"Let Pipiru introduce you to a great invention not long ago, named Pipiru Automatic Staircase! Just pull the clockwork on this side to the full, stand on it and you can go up! ”

Xia Yi took this little man, and he could even think of an "elevator"!

"Then let's try!" Charity can't wait to try it.

Pipiru said with a bitter face, "Uh...... There is a little trouble, that is, Pipiru's strength is too small, and he can't pull the clockwork at all, so he can only trouble the respected shopkeeper. ”

No wonder it's never used! Xia Yi slandered, while walking in front of a machine like a fan blade, like a swinging hand of a tractor, pulling the clockwork to the limit, as a bronze skeleton, Xia Yi's strength is not small now.

"Ahh

Pipiru jumped up the staircase, and Xia Yi followed, but there was always some foreboding, and he always felt that something was wrong.

As Pipiru pulled down the gates, Shay wondered where the uneasiness in her heart was coming from.

The automatic staircase flew up like a fort, and the chain in disrepair suddenly broke, and Xia Yi and Pipiru were directly blasted out of the air as two cannonballs, and in Pipiru's scream, they hit the top of the mage tower hard, and then fell on the second floor, and the poor little man landed first, and was sat on the head by Xia Yi.

Pipiru's eyeballs were almost knocked out by Xia Yi, and Xia Yi's condition was not very good, Rao was her bronze skeleton, extremely hard, and she was also broken, her head was full of gold stars, and she broke a rib that she promised to cherish.

Two undead creatures, almost smashed into mortal creatures!

Now Xia Yi finally understood that she was faintly ominous before, and she regretted that she was stupid enough to believe in Pipiru's so-called great invention!

Although Pipiru himself was smashed to only half his life, in the face of Xia Yi's anger, he could only poke his fingers and smile: "Shopkeeper, mistake, pure mistake!" ”

Fortunately, Xia Yi is not a tyrant, and he has reached the second layer of the Mage Tower, although the process is a bit tortuous and bumpy, and he doesn't bother to blame him, but secretly swears that in the future, Pipiru's new invention will be tested by others first!

Pipiru was moved to tears by Chailly's tolerance, and there was a bit of sincerity mixed with falsehood, and he dutifully introduced his collection.

"This is a bloodstone left behind after the death of a powerful harpy, as for the effect, the preliminary guess is that it should have an antiseptic effect on flesh and blood, but the skeletons don't even have meat, and Pipiru can't practice it, so shelving it here."

Shay weighed the pea-sized bloodstone in his hand, threw it aside with little interest, and came to a sarcophagus with a hideous zombie inside, fangs and carrion, swarthy fur and nails, which made Xia Yi's heart worry, and at the same time began to doubt Pipiru's interests.

"Shopkeeper, don't underestimate this zombie, he was a zombie general before he lost his soul fire! The body is very hard, comparable to a golden skull! Even more powerful than the Golden Skull, as they can spew corrosive venom! ”

"That's just a collection, it's already a dead body!"

Xia Yi said in disgust, and at the same time she was expecting little Mondo to quickly recover his mental strength and summon herself!

"Hehe, even if it's a zombie general, it can't be my collection, what Pipiru really values is the metallicness of this zombie general!"

Pipiru said mysteriously, caressing the zombie general's body.

Xia Yi looked at it with a convulsion, and firmly confirmed that Pipiru had some fetishes!

"Do zombies also have attributes?"

"No, it stands to reason that zombies are all products of the earth, and if they are attributes, they are also earth element attributes, but this guy is an exception, through my detection, his body is metallic, so Pipiru suspects that he is a mutant zombie! The strength of the body is more than that of ordinary zombies, so it is proudly preserved. ”

Xia Yi thought for a while, agreed with Pipiru's statement, and asked, "Does it help us?" ”

She knows the same thing as Pipiru, and although she has carefully discovered the metallic nature of this zombie, has the dwarf done few meaningless things?

"Hmm...... Belch...... Maybe ......" Pipiru was so anxious that he sweated, for so many years, his strong performance ** was suppressed, knowing that Lu Dao met Xia Yi, Pipiru said weakly after the most reluctant, "Use him as a shield......

"Sure enough......"

Xia Yi was weak for a while, and said: "It would be useful if he could move, you think, a guy with a body comparable to a golden skeleton is on a rampage, even Xisen's army can't stop it!" By the way, can you give it a soul fire and let it act on its own? ”

"In principle, yes, but we only have the soul fire of a skeleton, so even if we let it stand up, it will only be a skeleton with flesh and blood, not a zombie spitting venom."

Xia Yi knocked Pipiru on the head and said, "As long as the strong body is there, it doesn't matter if it's a skeleton or a zombie!" Quick, where are my ten servants? ”

Pipiru covered his head and replied pitifully, "Dungeon." ”

In a moment, ten skeletons of white bones stood beside Shay, and Shay used his soul command to make one of the skeletons burrow into the zombie general's head.

This skeleton was the first white bone skeleton that Xia Yi encountered in the Forsaken Lands, named White Bone, and although he was afraid of the insecurity of being separated from his body, he could only obey unconditionally at the orders of his master.

The soul fire floated out of the skull's head and smoothly entered the zombie general's head, and the original skeleton immediately scattered into a pile of bones because it lost its soul power.

The zombie general was able to get up from the sarcophagus without any problems, and despite the weight of the flesh and blood, the bones were very uncomfortable, and he was finally able to move awkwardly and independently.

Thus, the first in the Forsaken Lands, with the body of a zombie and the soul of a skeleton, a strange undead creature, was born in the hands of Xia Yi and Pipiru!

This will be a weapon for Xia Yi and Lord Xisen to contend with!
