Chapter 181: The Land of Decay: Prologue
My name is Chu Cannon, and I am a glorious skeleton soldier.
Although I am only a skeleton soldier at the bottom, I hope you can still maintain respect for me, because I am a skeleton soldier with lofty ideals, fighting spirit, hard-working quality and excellent quality, believe me, I will use my excellent quality and hard-working quality to achieve my lofty ideals, it won't be long before I can get together my body, upgrade my soul fire, become a squad leader, become a hell lord, marry the Queen of Pain, and be crowned the Skeleton Throne, think about it and a little excited!
So, how can a peerless skeleton like me, who obviously has a great future, be like Liu Ergou in the dog cave next door, have such a vulgar name as Chu Cannon, from now on, please call me 'Death of Daedalus Chu', thank you."
The rotting corpse in the thatched hut in the front yard Bai Erlenzi, drooling and laughing at my whimsical all day long, like me, the bone frame has not yet made up the ribs, and there are still about seven low-level skeletons with different arm bones, not honestly go to the bone mountain to pick up the bones and stubble to put their bodies together, and do this kind of spring and autumn dream all day long, be careful when the overseer stitches and blames you for working too slowly, and dismantle your bone frame and leave a head to kick as a ball.
What does a rotting corpse that only knows giggles and drooling all day long understand, how can it understand the lofty ideals in my heart, this skeleton uncle disdains to be with you in general, but, touching his chin and looking at the dog hole where he is nesting, he is still envious that the rotting corpse can drool and live in a thatched house, bastard!
Hmph! Inferior rotting corpses! Sooner or later, they will fall at the feet of this skeleton uncle!
Do you think this is honey self-confidence? I am very wrong! As soon as I wake up, I have a mutated soul fire, a perfect consciousness, and a special skeleton soldier with a complete rational mind! Looking around me, there are hundreds or thousands of skeleton soldiers who can only act on instinct, and I am not talking about it? Isn't it natural to have the idea that I am the protagonist of the son of the chosen human plane?
What? You say I don't have memories of my life, isn't it the standard for the protagonist in it? Is this important? Anyway, I'm dead, what does it matter what happened before I was alive, what matters after I die, what matters after I die, do you have to look forward to being a ghost, do you understand?
The time for indulging in lust always passes very quickly, and I just fantasized about getting my body together, upgrading my soul fire, becoming a squad leader, and serving as a ...... The annoying banshee who lived in the wooden house let out an annoying banshee howl, and was about to go to work again? Reluctantly crawled out of the hole, loaded the two leg bones that had been exposed to the sun, picked up the bone axe, and limped towards the mountain of bones, alas, a new day of splitting bones was about to begin.
If this mountain of bones is a good place, it is simply made up of countless bones piled up on top of each other. Every day new skeletons emerge from it, perhaps skeletons like me, or powerful bone dragons. In other words, many of the bones on this bone mountain have their own soul fire, and our task is to find those scattered soul fire bones before those new skeletons awaken, split and grind them, and sprinkle them on their own bodies to absorb them. You must know that the soul fire is attached to the bones, and it is self-consuming all the time, and if it is not replenished in time, maybe one day the soul fire will be dim, and you can't sleep, and the eternal soul will disappear.
I forgot to mention, I now belong to the Demon Haze Legion in the 75th District of the Bone Mountain, the lord Death Knight Lord Abaddon is a benevolent and good lord, he is gloomy and far-sighted, insists on economic development while not forgetting to effectively protect the people's livelihood, every day we dig up the bone fragments, he only collects ninety percent of the shares! It's so merciful! Listen to the painful banshee who looks like a canteen aunt say, the lord next door Death Prophet is not so merciful, and that black-hearted Death Prophet has to collect ninety percent of the shares every time! It's terrible!
The half-formed bones left behind, ground into bone powder and sprinkled on me, not only can barely maintain the daily consumption of soul fire, but also become a little richer, so that the third rib that I broke can grow 0.1 millimeter every day! Lord Abaddon, the death knight, is so concerned about the people's livelihood, if it continues like this, it won't be long before I can gather my body, upgrade my soul fire, become a squad leader, become a hell lord, marry the Queen of Pain, and be crowned the Throne of Skeletons, thinking about it is a little exciting!
Crooked chin is laughing at himself, he has been working for a long time with an axe, today's weather is too good, although the sun helps calcium absorption, can strengthen bones, and prevent osteoporosis, but today's sun is really scorching, and I am a little weak in the sun, and there is no harvest from digging half a meter down, so take a break, right?
Huh, this axe feels pretty hard to chop down, what is it?
Wow! It's a whole rib burning with a blazing soul fire! With it, my small goal in front of the crowning of the Throne of Skulls is enough to save ten years by gathering my body!
Turning his head around like a thief, the stitching monster overseer is rubbing the canteen aunt-like pain banshee with his fat suturing ass, they flirt and scold you and me, the pain banshee let out a barbell-like laugh from time to time, laughing all over the fat trembling, a pair of watermelon-sized tits on his chest are turbulent, and the suture monster overseer who looks at it has straight eyes, and he didn't pay attention to this side at all, God help me, with a snap, I put this bone directly on my body.
Ah! This is a powerful feeling that has not been seen for a long time! The soul fire on the ribs flowed all over the body, and I felt that I had reached the pinnacle of my life at this time, and even the uneven skull was a little bright! I looked at the carrion corpse next to me Bai Er, who was digging for bones, and saw a stunned expression on its ugly face with a missing nose.
Huh? You're really here? You kid, I can make an exception and allow you to lick my third toe! When I am crowned on the Throne of Skull, I will crown you ...... Huh? Why are you grabbing me? Why are you twisting my arm behind my back? Don't use so much force, my left arm has only grown out for 60 years, it's not strong! Why are you opening your mouth so big? It seems to be yelling? If you look closely, the rotting corpse Bai Er was stunned and said as if it was ......
I've reported this skeleton soldier for stealing! I've caught it! Your Lord, you're going to give me a reward!
What?!Bastard!Bai Er, I misread you! You dare to hurt me!
Before I could struggle, the Death Knight Lord Abaddon came to my side, dressed in undead armor and holding frost in his hand, riding a dark nightmare, and looked at me condescendingly, his gaze paused for a moment on the bone of my new suit on my left side, and then lifted me up. He whispered coldly to the surroundings, "If you have seized it, this is the end!" As soon as he used his hand, my skull was directly crushed, and the soul fire was scattered everywhere.
At the last moment of his life, there was an incomparably cruel 'click' shattering sound in his soul, and what about the template of the protagonist?
Oops, alas.
....................................................................................
My name is Chu Cannon, and I am a glorious skeleton squad leader.
That's right, it's me again, it's not the same name and surname, I'm the skeleton soldier with lofty ideals, fighting spirit, hard work, and excellent quality, I never expected, I don't know how many years have passed, I have actually been resurrected.
Not only was it resurrected, but the memories of my previous life were also clearly left in my soul fire, and there was even an inexplicable extra secret book, which seemed to be called "Soul Fire Cultivation Classic", which could guide me on how to cultivate my soul fire from red to purple step by step.
Oh my God! Crushed soul fire, not only can it be resurrected, but it also comes with an upgraded plug-in, which is simply the most standard protagonist template! Am I in the middle of a script called Skull Proud? Seeing this scene, I think it's time for you to call me 'Death of Daedalus Chu'.
Although I was not reborn in the Demon Haze Legion in this life, I was not reborn far before I was reborn under the Death Legion of the Death Prophet of the Lord next door. I'm already two lives at this time... Skeletons, naturally compared to other low-level skeleton miscellaneous soldiers, everywhere has the advantage, I can always find cherished bone resources on the mountain of bones, and I learned the lessons of the previous life, a shot to change a place, it didn't take long to put together a whole skeleton, even the weapon in the hand was replaced with an extremely sharp bone blade, upgraded to a terrible necromantic creature that humans want to run when they see it: the bone warrior!
"Soul Fire Cultivation Ceremony" is really powerful, according to the guidance above, secretly dug up the brains of five carrion corpses to absorb, and it didn't take long to successfully upgrade the soul fire, seeing that my strength is really good, the lord of this life, the Death Prophet, was very pleased, and awarded me the title of 'Skeleton Squad Leader', from this moment on, I don't have to go to the Bone Mountain to mine, but become a glorious overseer! Will the crowning of the Throne of Skulls be far away?
What? You ask me if my strength is already so strong, why don't I go to Lord Abaddon for revenge? Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, don't bully the young man and be poor is the protagonist template? Cut, is this important? Anyway, I've already died twice, what does it matter about the grievances in my previous life, the important thing is in this life, you have to look forward to being a ghost, do you understand?
However, the carrion corpse that reported me back then had already been captured by me, evenly cut into 3,600 pieces, and tortured for ten days and ten nights before crushing its soul fire, these are not the point.
Since I became the leader of the overseer team, I have found that the quality of this year's skeleton miscellaneous soldiers is really not good, far less than the down-to-earth and hard-working I used to be, isn't it just that the sun is a little bigger? Isn't it just that the soul of the sun is a little lighter? I have to rest after such a little torture, and I crushed the soul fire of the three miscellaneous soldiers in a row, and I have been so deterrent to them, and I can't let this group of wrecks get up to work, it's really a pure waste! I'm not motivated! Just like you, when will I be like me, get together my body, upgrade my soul fire, and become the team leader? Do you know how hard I work?
Besides, Lord Death Prophet is too merciful, and he only accepts ninety percent of these skeletons and rotting corpses! It is so generous and merciful! It is like angels! Presumably, when these skeletal soldiers nest in their dog holes and sprinkle bone powder on their bodies, they must be extremely grateful for the mercy of the Death Prophet!
However, the next time the Death Legion has an internal meeting, let's mention it to Lord Death Prophet, and raise the standard of elements to ninety percent and seven, so that the resources shared by us overseers will also be increased by one thousandth, and the cultivation speed can be one thousandth faster, and I am a little excited to think about it! As for those miscellaneous soldiers, I will let them die, anyway, Bone Mountain produces a lot of skeletons every day.
Although I don't know what I did when I was alive, my soul condensed body can always have a good sword technique! In the previous life, when I worked under Lord Abaddon, it was with this good knife technique that I could split bones quickly and well.
In this life, this good knife technique made meritorious service again, squatted for ten days and ten nights, and finally approached the goal, slashed it with the back of a knife, held it in his hand and rushed back. Lord Death Prophet loves to eat stinky crows alive, this stinky crow in my hand is fat and big and dripping black water, presumably Lord Death Prophet will be happy when he eats it, my little request was passed, hehe!
Approaching the masonry room of Lord Death Prophet, a squad leader like me doesn't need to be notified when he enters, this is a status symbol! Raising his hand and about to knock on the door, suddenly there was a hoarse laugh from inside, the voice was inexplicably familiar, ah! It was Lord Abaddon, the Death Knight! What was he doing here?
Before I could think of a reason, Lord Abaddon spoke, the sister of the Death Prophet is really a good means, inject the "Soul Fire Cultivation Canon" into the newborn Death Soul Fire, and wait until they are successful in cultivation and then absorb them, the efficiency is a hundred times higher! The day before yesterday, I just sucked my Pain Banshee Overseer to death, and I felt that my strength was about to rise! Then the Death Prophet responded delicately, Brother Abaddon praised it, and the little sister just loved her brother wholeheartedly, and wanted to help her brother be crowned on the Throne of Skulls as soon as possible, and did her best~~~
What? Is the "Soul Fire Cultivation Canon" in my soul fire deliberately injected by the Prophet of Death? Isn't that the stronger the cultivation, the faster I die? It turns out that the template for the protagonist I think is just my own ridiculous conjecture, and it turns out that my two lives have been shrouded in conspiracy?
As the son of the Chosen One, I will definitely be able to break through the barrier and tear through the cage, who said that chess pieces cannot jump out of the chessboard? As long as I devote myself to cultivating Taoguang and waiting for the sky, I will definitely be able to soar to the sky and be immortal!
Thinking of the excitement, I couldn't help but clench my fists! The foul-smelling crow in my hand woke up in pain:
"Gah!"
The next moment, the tall figure of the death knight Abaddon enveloped me, and a cruel smile appeared on the corner of its mouth, and lifted me up, you little pawn actually dared to eavesdrop on the conversation between our brother and sister, knowing such a secret, I wanted you to live a little longer and grow a little more, but now it seems that you can't be left! With just a force on his hand, my skull was directly crushed, and the soul fire was scattered everywhere.
At the last moment of his life, there was an incomparably cruel 'click' shattering sound in his soul, and what about the template of the protagonist?
Oops, alas.
......................................................................................................
My name is Chu Cannon, and I have become a skeleton miscellaneous soldier again.
Yes, I am resurrected again, the third life is a skeleton, I have experienced all kinds of tragic events, I no longer have the heart to gather my body, upgrade my soul fire, become a squad leader, become the lord of hell, marry the Queen of Pain, and walk on the throne of skeletons, even if I think about it in my head, I don't feel any excitement. 'Death of Daedalus'?
Ignorance is a blessing, what kind of tossing and turning, go to work on time every day, dig a few bone plates with soul fire, and sprinkle bone meal after handing it in, and if you can live a good life, you will be satisfied. With this peace of mind, I lived in the Bone Mountain for a few more years, and gradually figured out a little taste: those companions who originally seemed to be muddy and acted only on instinct, actually had a few faintly exuded the same twilight and passable aura as me, and if you looked closely, you would find that a glimmer of wisdom flashed in their soul fire from time to time.
With a wry smile, it turns out that not only am I not the protagonist, but even what I think is a unique experience is just one of the farces that have been repeated countless times in this rotten place? Alas, forget it, there is powder today and sprinkled today, and tomorrow there is no powder to lie at home, what do you do so much, accept your fate, and live in a mess.
The next day, because of the lack of bone meal, I was weak and had no strength for the soul fire, so I couldn't go to work, and the angry overseer broke the bone frame, leaving only my head to kick as a ball, and I was kicked for more than half a year, the skull was kicked to pieces, and the soul fire dissipated.
So I died again.
Oops, alas.
..........................................................................................
My name is Chu Cannon.
Unexpectedly, I ended up on the Throne of Skulls.
The third resurrection, I went to work again early in the morning, went down with an axe, and actually dug up someone!
He said his name was Ling Mo and thanked me for saving him.
