Chapter 5: Phantom Butterfly Phantom, Offensive Empty City Strategy

In this secret space, once the time reaches the evening or even late at night, the entire sky will appear a dark hue, and the curly angry clouds will look down on everything like some kind of huge greedy creature outside the world, looming terror.

The Human Head Forest is very vivid, although it is not really full of human heads and corpses, but because the trees here absorb a lot of the magic of the dead and death, there is an alienation reaction, the trunk is twisted, outlining the faces that look like wailing expressions, and there is a thick fog in the forest, it is obviously not a good place to go.

(The Forest of Heads, the Tree of the Dead!) )

(It is said that the Dead Soul Tree, which has aged to the limit, will produce a kind of life fruit, which is the main ingredient for making longevity elixirs, and if I can take it out, even if I am still young, I will gain a lot of money from exchanging it for family offerings.) What's more, my cultivation of the corpse guarding technique requires a large amount of life energy to fill the Dan Yuan, and I may not be able to use this soul fruit. With a gun and a dog in hand, Shi Yi and Tuwang finally came to the vicinity of the Human Head Forest when it was dark and nightfalling.

After the zombie is raised, it needs to swallow a large amount of human blood to replenish yang energy, because its body is often like an empty box, always like a deep valley, and even if the spiritual wisdom is not born, and the cultivation foundation is not enough, it will also overflow yang energy, then there will be more human blood that needs to be swallowed.

Corpse cultivation kills, has no scruples, and unscrupulously devours a large amount of human blood, which can indeed accumulate a large amount of yang energy in a short period of time, but in this way, the yang energy is majestic but mixed and impure, and there are too many evils, so since ancient times, zombies have never been uncommon, but those who can really achieve the karma of corpse immortals and drought fish have almost never appeared.

Even if it is the Maoshan Taoist sect based on the Qing Dao system, the highest realm is only to extend the art of corpse cultivation to the golden corpse realm, and the genius disciple of the Maoshan Taoist sect finally died, and then the changes in heaven and earth intensified, and the metaphysical world deteriorated. Not to mention the art of corpse cultivation that has found a new way, even if it is an orthodox Taoist sect that has a long heritage, there is no way to enter.

Of course, these Shi Yi don't know now, he only feels that the Iron Corpse Realm is very powerful now, according to his own understanding of the Corpse Sutra, Shi Yi does not plan to suck human blood at will to practice, although it can be fast-advanced, but because of this, it is mixed with Dan Yuan, which seems to be unfavorable in the long run.

Coming to the side near the Rentou Forest, seeing that the dense fog was overflowing, Shi Yi bent down and took out two pieces of cloth from Tuwang's backpack, and took out a bottle of antidote, pulled the cork off and poured the antidote into his hand.

Magical item crafting, this is an ability that occultists will inevitably master after being promoted to a higher level, although the fundamental professional knowledge is different, and the items that can be crafted are also different, but this ability is almost inevitable.

Shi Yi is not a occultist profession, but his occult knowledge is quite high, especially in the fields of darkness, death, poison, and soul, Shi Yi's level almost surpasses that of most second-order occultists at present.

The dense fog in the human head forest, containing the two realms of death and poison, overlapped with what Shi Yi had learned, otherwise, Shi Yi would at least wait until daytime, when the fog poison dissipated and weakened, and then entered the forest to search.

"Don't lick it, don't rip it off, if you're poisoned, I won't drag you out, understand?" Shi Yi patted Tu Wang's dog head to strengthen its memory, and then tied a cloth towel to Tu Wang and himself.

After actually entering the human head forest, the cloth towel in front of his mouth lit up with a faint spiritual pattern that was invisible to the naked eye, but at this moment, Shi Yi and Tuwang were lying low, slowly going deeper, but they didn't notice it.

The age of the Dead Soul Tree is extremely long, so the periphery of the Human Head Forest is not to find the Dead Soul Tree that has aged to the limit, if you want to harvest the treasure, you have to go deep into the tiger's den, and there are also purification crystals, with five people to find three purification crystals that are only the size of a fist in the abandoned sanctuary of Nuoda, if there is no fixed location and no tricks, it is almost an impossible task, of course, there is a trick to this.

The entire Abandonment Sanctuary is shrouded in death magic, and the Purification Crystal can purify death magic in reverse, so just like finding plants with purification power in a polluted pond, although it is still difficult, it is not completely untraceable, as long as you are sharp enough, as long as you are bold and careful, you can always find some clues.

In the night, gradually deepening in the dark forest, surrounded by large trees with bark that resembled the faces of wailing people, and in the fog in front of them, there seemed to be a banshee in a black dress and silver hair......

"No wonder this secret realm opens every twenty or thirty years, but once you miss the time to leave, almost no one can survive until the next time you open it, this kind of ghost place, even me, staying for one or two nerve carrying capacity is on the verge of the limit, let alone staying for one or two decades." Walking slowly with a gun, suddenly Shi Yi's ears moved, and he bowed down in the grass, and at the same time, as his palm pressed down, Tuwang also lay down.

This dog is too fat, when he lies down, his stomach hits the ground first, and then the meat on his stomach is squeezed to both sides, and the whole golden patty is a transcendent life, otherwise if he is fat like this, I am afraid that most of them are overweight and will die soon.

Not far from the opposite side of the grass, Shi Yi's eyes.

A flock of silver butterflies is fluttering, beautiful. A middle-aged woman danced with her hair scattered, and she spun and let out "giggle" laughter, accompanied by a series of crazy words.

"Daughter, have you seen that my mother has become the master of the spirit world...... Mom will resurrect you, Mom will resurrect you...... Woo, mom doesn't want to kill you either. ”

"Forgive me, forgive me."

There were more and more silver butterflies around the middle-aged woman, and the silver powder spread and spilled, and slowly, the middle-aged woman collapsed, and her breathing gradually stopped.

Looking at the silver phosphorous powder reflected in the moonlight, Shi Yi seemed to see himself holding a submachine gun in one hand, planting the bright red five-star red flag on the roof of the White House, and the Yasukuni Shrine burned into flames with a grenade thrown by himself, and collapsed in the explosion...... Slaughtering the United States and destroying the sun, kicking the seal and beating Russia, try to see the future world, it will be the world of red flags, the beautiful crimson torrent of steel, crushing the whole world under the muzzle of the cannon.

"It's ...... Phantom butterflies? Haha, it can show the most desired mapping of people's hearts, their phosphorus powder has a strong hallucinogenic effect, inhaling too much, people will continue to dance wildly in the illusion, until they die of heart failure. "Although the illusion just now is very beautiful, and it is the deep desire of a soldier's heart, but Shi Yi got rid of it after looking at it from afar, this kind of thing is just enjoyable, although emotionally longing for honor, but intellectually Shi Yi himself is also very clear that once the war really spreads to the world, it is the civilians who suffer and protect behind him, as a soldier, you can crave these things, but you must be clear in your heart: Yanhuang soldiers can fight but can't take the initiative to fight, and they have the ability to deal with war but can't take the initiative to provoke war.

War is the horror that drags the world into hell, and it is the right thing to do to defend it from the borders of the country.

Shake your head and shake off that beautiful imagination. Shi Yi suddenly heard a strange gurgling sound, he looked down, and saw Tuwang staring at the phantom butterfly group in the distance, the cloth towel in front of his mouth was completely soaked with saliva, and it stared at it while watching the phantom butterfly group arch gently...... Until Shi Yi punched it in the head, waking it up from the beautiful illusion.

"Let's go, let's see if I throw you into the phantom butterfly group, so that you can have enough." Under the leadership of the master, Tuwang was reluctant to give up, looking back at the phantom butterfly group step by step, but the dog's brain is not as complex and sophisticated as the human brain after all, so the resistance to this illusion ability is also strong, after walking a little farther, Tuwang forgot about it, and ran around Shi Yi and wagged his tail. But, in fact, this matter is not over.

Shi Yi deliberately avoided the area where the phantom butterflies were most concentrated, and then searched nearby, and sure enough, he found several dry rotten bones in a few nearby locations.

Phantom butterflies are dangerous and troublesome, and they have no hunting value, so those who know them can deal with them and avoid them, while those who can't deal with phantom butterflies and don't know phantom butterflies are easy to fall into a dead end.

Therefore, it is quite feasible to pick up corpses near phantom butterflies, but they can't pick up the ones that have just died, because the hallucinogenic phosphorus powder on their bodies is still extremely strong at this time, if they are unfortunately hit because of greed, even Shi Yi is not sure that he will be able to get rid of it, the deeper the hallucination, the deeper the digging of the desire in his heart, and Shi Yi does not dare to say that he can get rid of any desire.

If the hallucination is to the extreme, let yourself go back to ancient times to be the emperor, Liu Yifei is your East Palace, Yang Mi is your West Palace, Liu Shishi is your concubine, and Zhao Liying is your personal maid...... Is the old man from or not?

If you obey, you will inevitably be sorry for the communist belief in your heart, and if you don't, isn't it too faceless?

So it's better not to let this illusion appear, it's really hard to refuse.

Shi Yi searched for the corpses of those ancient cultivators in the previous era, of course, the current professionals are poor, and the ancient cultivators of twenty or thirty years ago are even poorer, most of them have nothing good on them, and even if they do, they have become ineffective like the hallucinogenic phosphorus powder on their bodies over time.

In the end, Shi Yi only found a worn-out wallet notebook in the pile of bones of an ancient cultivator, and when he opened it, what was recorded in it was the promotion path of several ancient transcendent professions.

"Sladen Walter? This guy, it seems to be a very famous archaeologist, disappeared inexplicably more than thirty years ago, and it turned out to be dead here. Before he had time to look too closely, Shi Yi put the worn-out wallet notes into Tuwang's backpack, and then simply buried the bones of several deceased, and continued his adventure.

Every full-fledged adventurer considers himself lucky, and I always think so.

—Sladen Walter

After searching in the human head forest for a whole day, Shi Yi switched the shotgun in his hand to a frosty iron staff, because the physical energy consumed by removing the vines during walking is far more than the physical energy consumed in combat.

"Whew."

"Fortunately, my skills have advanced to the realm of iron corpses, and my physical strength and recovery have been significantly improved, otherwise, just such an aimless search day by day is enough." Shi Yi drank water with an iron rod in one hand and a portable kettle in the other, and after he drank two sips of himself, he squatted down and poured the water on his hand, and licked Tuwang many times.

Tuwang carries more things on his back than he carries, and of course, Tuwang has four legs and two legs, and it has an advantage in this regard.

"Don't look for it, fix it for a while." When Shi Yi said these words to himself, Tuwang next to his feet suddenly raised his nose and sniffed, and then didn't even prompt Shi Yi to suddenly run up, Shi Yi, who was holding the kettle, was stunned for a moment, and then quickly reacted and followed.

Why go into the Forest of Heads at night?

Shi Yi also knew that it was more dangerous to enter the Human Head Forest at night, but the probability of all kinds of strange creatures appearing in the Human Head Forest at night was higher, and for extraordinary professionals, those strange animals and plants with extraordinary power were all treasures, and the difference was just whether the hunting value was high or low.

Under the guidance of Tuwang, Shi Yi followed and ran to the top of a small hill, below which was a pool of lake, trees, and several humanoid monsters with black bull heads holding stone swords, which were staying there as if waiting for something.

And looking at the few ancient trees beside the small lake, Shi Yi understood what they were waiting for.

(The Dead Soul Tree, which has aged to the limit, I didn't expect to be found by going so deep, and it's not just humans, even these demonic creatures can realize the value of the Soul Fruit.) )

At this moment, the ancient tree of the dead soul next to the small lake had aged and withered to the extreme, and the living fruit in its body was gradually grown, and a tempting fragrance that seemed like blood but not fishy, like wine but not alcohol, gradually emanated, lingering between Shi Yi's mouth and nose, lingering for a long time.

"Grunt." Sniffing, Shi Yi subconsciously swallowed his saliva. This greedy craving, which comes from the depths of the soul of the living being, is a kind of nature, just like the instinctive craving for meat and the instinctive need for sugar and salt, but it is a hundred times more powerful.

Creatures in the secret realm of death have been soaked in death magic for a long time, and it is fine if they are pure necromantic creatures: skeletons and ghosts, but some are not necromantic creatures, but flesh and blood creatures, such relatively normal creatures have been soaked in death magic for a long time, although they can also be affected by magic and transformed and strengthened, but their death will inevitably be slashed.

But just as where a poisonous snake haunts, there must be an antidote within a hundred steps. The Death Secret Realm, a realm of death, is pregnant with creatures that can prolong the life of creatures, so in the Human Head Forest, every Dead Soul Tree that dies and gives birth to a Soul Fruit will attract a group of local creatures to snatch it, and they also want to live longer.

"Anyway, even if you miss this time, there will be many opportunities in the next two or three decades, so let me this time." With a click, the Destiny Shotgun was reloaded, and just as Shi Yi was about to rush down directly and let go of those minotaurs first, there was suddenly no wind on the originally calm lake.

Rushing....

There was a sound of water in the lake, and then a muscular man slowly stood up, and a large amount of water slid down from him. He had no sexual characteristics between his legs, bare, but his face was that of a grown man, except for two arms, not human palms, but two huge pincers, huge pincers like lobsters and crabs.

Click, click.

The man's hair was disheveled, and he waved his double pincers, which kept opening and closing, making a constant cutting sound.

It wasn't just one, the waves rolled in the lake, and one after another giant pincer men and women came out of it, and they stood in the way of the minotaurs, but their intentions were very obvious. At this time, inside the aging Dead Soul Tree, the mellow aroma of the tempting blood wine became clearer and clearer.

………

(Obviously, they are all rough-skinned characters, even if I throw grenades and use the Shotgun of Fate, after seven shots, I may not be able to kill them all if I run out of strength, and the grenades must be spared, otherwise I will encounter difficult opponents later...... )

When Shi Yi thought about it, the creatures below were already ping-pong, the minotaur was powerful and powerful, and they could also make stone sword weapons, but the giant pincer people opposite them would spread a thin protective force field around their bodies during the battle, and the water column that opened their mouths and sprayed out of them had the dual effects of impact and corrosion under the action of huge water pressure.

Slowly, as time passed, the Minotaur's side, although fighting bravely, fell into a disadvantage.

Shi Yi wasn't interested in the battle between these demonic creatures, but he was interested in the ancient tree behind the gang fight.

Rubbing the dragon bone ring on his hand, along with the evil fire, a ghost demon dog led by the demon dog ghost king also appeared, although Shi Yi can directly summon the ghost king on the side of the ancient tree of dead souls, but the ghost king can get the soul fruit, but he can't bring it back, although the dragon bone ring is powerful in nature, but after all, it is not a full-time space equipment, Shi Yi's application of the demon dog and ghost king is actually a bit out of specification.

The wisdom of the Ghost King, Tuwang, and White Dog is not low, although Shi Yi is not sure if they can comprehend the too complicated plan, but they can only talk about it twice more and fight hard, as time goes by, the Minotaurs in the battle below have become more and more disadvantaged, and it will not be long before they will be wiped out by the giant pincer warriors in the lake...... No, they won't survive until then, and the collapse of morale will cause the Minotaurs to break up first, and then there will be a one-sided slaughter.

At this time, a huge and ferocious ghost mastiff suddenly roared out of the grass on the hillside, and in the process of running downward, it kept spitting out fire bullets to attack the giant pincer warriors, this unexpected support made the minotaur warriors refreshed, the attack power of the demon dog and ghost king is very high, especially the evil fire seems to have a certain attack bonus for the giant pincer warriors, and the crimson flame burned on the carapace and clicked.

This is a negative energy flame, which eats away at the bones and into the marrow, and it cannot be cleaned by just lake water, even if it is extinguished, it will hurt the continuity.

With the support of the Ghost King's semi-range long-range output, the Meat Shield Warrior Minotaur in front of him suddenly had a feeling that the situation had reversed, and at the same time, at this time, there was a roar of wolf dogs from all directions.

If the Minotaur warriors and the giant pincer warriors understand the Yanhuang idiom, I am afraid that the word embattled will jump out of their minds, and under the preconceived idea, these demonized creatures faintly compare the strength of the wolf dogs surrounded on all sides with the ghost king in front of them, if this is the case, then this new group will have the ability to eradicate the minotaur warriors and the giant pincer warriors in one fell swoop.

But in fact, Shi Yi would not do this even if he had this ability, after all, he didn't have any space equipment, and under the shoulder-to-shoulder, he could only carry the items in detail, and the Minotaur warriors and the giant pincer warriors were such big guys, killing them all was too much of a loss to himself, and the relative benefits were too low.

"The way of using soldiers, attacking the heart is the top, and attacking the city is the bottom; Psychological warfare is the top, and military warfare is the bottom. Fortunately, I didn't sleep when I was in a cultural class, otherwise, I wouldn't have thought of a simulation case when I used it. ”

In the background of the howling of wolf dogs on all sides, the mountains and forests are roaring, the grass and trees are all soldiers, and the battle between the minotaur warriors and the giant pincer warriors has slowly reduced the intensity, at this time, a golden giant dog pounced out like a bear, and its fat body smashed the earth, bringing a roaring momentum, like a heavy truck driven by a drunk driver on the highway.

After Tuwang activated the steel iron bone, the physical strength for a short time was not inferior to the second order, and in the last battle with the corpse demon Golden Arm Heather, in order to save his friend Kangna, it exploded its potential and alienated the steel iron bone skill, and now this skill increases its strength at the same time, but when the two effects are activated, the duration will become very short, but it is enough.

In many cases, weight is also strength, and Tuwang ran and slammed into his opponent, so strong that even the ghost king felt that he couldn't be hard-hit.

After the ghost king and Tuwang, it was the white dog that ran out, and the essence of summoning the white dog as a mutation was extremely high, revealing a sinister and vicious meaning, and during this period of time, the strength has improved, and the real combat power is not inferior to Tuwang...... In order to strengthen Tuwang, Shi Yi smashed more than two million on it before and after, not counting other efforts, which shows how high the innate qualification of the white dog is.

"Whew......"

"Woohoo, woohoo......"

One giant wolf after another pounced out, and there were constant roars from far to near on all sides, under this momentum, the giant pincer warriors who were closer to home chose to retreat first, although the fruit of life is very precious, but the treasure that prolongs life is not as valuable as life itself.

They were followed by the many disabled minotaur warriors, and as the minotaur warriors retreated, Shi Yi also noticed a minotaur warrior bowing his head in front of the ghost king, and sending something with both hands, and then they also retreated.

The two groups of strong enemies who were not weak were repelled by Shi Yi in an offensive situation, but they didn't really need to fight.
