【Soul Stone: Kerrigan】

【Quality: Gold】

[Number of activations: 5]

[Buffs Gained: Heart of the Swarm (Resident), Ghost Manipulation (Resident)]

After examining this soul stone, Fang Zheng was surprised to find that unlike the Lich King, the Queen of Blades' soul stone was stronger in terms of practicality.

The reason why they say this is because of their soul stone nature. For Fang Zheng, the soul stone of [Arthas] is embedded in the dimensional codex, and if he does not actively activate it, there is only such a buff as [Immortal King] that has an effect on undead creatures. And if you want to unleash the true power of the Lich King, you must completely activate the Soul Stone.

However, this is not the case with Queen Blade's soul stone, in fact, although her number of activations is the same as that of [Arthas], but after probing, Fang Zheng found that the true power of Queen Blade is exactly the opposite of that of the Lich King. If the Lich King needs to consume the number of soul stones to exert its true power, then the Queen of Blades' soul stones can only exert their most powerful power if they are not activated.

And the reason is the buff of [Heart of the Swarm (Resident)].

FOR THIS BUFF, THERE IS ONLY ONE SENTENCE IN THE DESCRIPTION [HEART OF THE SWARM (RESIDENT): CAN CREATE AND MANIPULATE ZERG ARMIES].

Just with this sentence, Fang Zheng immediately understood what this meant.

To put it bluntly, in the state of the soul stone inlaid with the Queen of Blades, he can directly open the Zerg base and then play real-time strategy. After all, the most powerful thing about the Zerg is the endless tide of insects, and the overwhelming Zerg army is their real strength, but it is the fact that Kai Ruigan's personal combat power is actually quite limited, in other words. If it is [Arthas], after the destruction of the Scourge Legion, he can still rely on his own strength to redeem the defeat. But with [Kai Ruigan], once the Zerg army is finished, then she has almost no second choice but to escape.

So for Fang Zheng, this soul stone is more suitable for his usual use, but ......... Kerrigan, Kerrigan, why are you Kerrigan?

The Lich King is not very likable, and the Zerg are even more likeable, and Fang Zheng can be sure that this thing will definitely be regarded as the vanguard of a demon invasion as soon as it appears on the surface......... You said you wouldn't give me a Jim Renaud, or an Atanis, why would it be Kerrigan?

Fang Zheng has already felt the deep malice that this system has given him, so he is also its creator, if this game is a child, then he is a father, is there such a cheating bear child?

It seems that the bear child is a cheater.

Although he was helpless, Fang Zheng still had to choose to put away this soul stone. It's definitely not going to be useful in the Overworld, but maybe it can be used in the dungeon world, and I don't know what world I'll be teleported to the next time the mission teleportation is enabled.

Thinking of this, Fang Zheng couldn't help but glance at the dimensional code in front of him again, the cooldown time on it had entered the countdown.

In 13 hours, the teleportation will be on again.

The night passed.

The next day, just after dawn, everyone set off again, and to their surprise, unlike the previous day, they didn't encounter a single undead creature along the way. This made Malte and the others look gloomy to the extreme, you must know that they are not fleeing from the Shadow Canyon at the moment, but returning the same way, according to reason, the closer they are to the central location, then the more enemies should be. Before, Fang Zheng and Conan Knight had also encountered several waves of undead soldiers on the way to the Blood River Beach, and it made no sense that now they "threw themselves into the net", but the enemy didn't pay attention.

Then there was only one reason, and there was obviously something more important than them that attracted that lich's attention.

And the more important thing is what Malte is talking about - the dark ritual.

"It looks really bad."

Standing on the cliff and looking down, Malte's face was as gloomy as a piece of ice. Below the cliff is a quarry that looks like it has been abandoned. It looks like it's been a long time, and I don't know when it was born. But for Malte, he clearly didn't come here for archaeology.

"That quarry is the lich's lair, and it's here that we were ambushed, but now we don't see half of the undead here............... Could it be that the ceremony has already begun? ”

Hearing Malte's self-muttering, Fang Zheng raised his eyebrows, due to the special effect of [Arthas's] soul stone, his sense of the undead was very strong. As Malte said, he doesn't feel any undead on the periphery of this quarry, but that doesn't mean they don't exist. In fact, deep underground, Fang Zheng sensed some clues. THERE ARE A LARGE NUMBER OF UNDEAD CREATURES GATHERING DEEP UNDERGROUND BENEATH THE QUARRY, AND YOU DON'T NEED TO ASK TO KNOW THAT THEY ARE DEFINITELY NOT PARTYING THERE.

"What's next?"

Fang Zheng didn't tell Marte what he perceived, in fact, he was not willing to fight for a dark ritual that he didn't know the details of, maybe people were trying to bring back his lover from the underworld? To be honest, after getting along with these Templars, Fang Zheng found that the other party was indeed worthy of the title of knight, fair and kind, brave in sacrifice, fighting for justice, without any dirty thoughts, and most of them were very approachable. To be honest, Fang Zheng still respected them very much, but he didn't have any special thoughts about it. It's like watching a Hollywood blockbuster, and it's really touching to see what monsters and monsters those soldiers are willing to sacrifice for the country to stop, but if I go up to die myself, it's another matter——— if nothing else, why should I sacrifice my life for other countries?

Not to mention that Fang Zheng has been in this world for less than a month, and he has no feelings for this place at all, strictly speaking, he only knows a Stone and a Miss M, and it is naturally impossible for him to work hard for this world. So Fang Zheng decided to take Malte as the leader first, and he concentrated on making soy sauce, and it was not too late to withdraw when he saw that the situation was not good.

Anyway, his teleportation cooldown is almost over now, so it's really not too difficult to find a chance to run away without the invincible Hearthstone.

"Let's go down and see what happens."

Finally, Malte made a decision.

"There must be something wrong here, I don't believe the other party would be so negligent, even if they really had to hold a ceremony, they wouldn't have a scout outside."

Now that Malte had given the order, Fang Zheng naturally didn't intend to object, but walked down the cliff cautiously with a few other people, looking around and walking towards the quarry.

The huge quarry was empty, only the whirling wind whistling through the gaps, Fang Zheng clenched the Broken Sky Sword, and cautiously glanced around——— the Lich King's induction was only limited to the undead, and had no effect on the living, there were no undead creatures here, which did not mean that he could rush in directly to die.

"Huh?"

But soon, Fang Zheng realized that the situation here was not quite right. Among the ruins near the quarry, he found scattered bone fragments, which from the appearance of the undead had been wiped out. Originally, Fang Zheng thought that this was the trace left by the previous fight between Malte and them, but he soon found that there was a circle of footprints next to him——— the footprints were very new, and they didn't look like they were left a long time ago, but more like they appeared recently...... And just before they get here.

“…………………”

Fang Zheng frowned, clenched the long sword in his hand, and slowly walked towards the ruins step by step. From the outside, it appears to have once been a house where the overseer lived, but now most of it has collapsed, and only a few walls remain. Fang Zheng stared at the wall in front of him, then thought for a moment, and raised the long sword in his hand.

"Huh!"

But what Fang Zheng didn't expect was that the long sword in his hand hadn't been swung off yet, and suddenly a black shadow leaped over from the other side of the wall and rushed straight towards him. Seeing the black shadow that suddenly jumped out, Fang Zheng was also taken aback, he hurriedly raised his long sword and swept forward, colliding with the black shadow. Then I heard only a "bang" crash, and the black shadow suddenly flipped backwards, and then stood firmly on the ground. And it was only at this moment that Fang Zheng finally saw the true face of the black shadow clearly.

"What is this?"

Looking at the black shadow in front of him, Fang Zheng was also dumbfounded. What appeared in front of him was not the undead creature in Fang Zheng's imagination, on the contrary, it was a pitch-black cheetah, but unlike ordinary cheetahs, its body looked like a dark blue similar to the starry sky of the universe, and the whole body looked translucent, not only that, from the inside of this black panther's body, Fang Zheng could also see straight silver-white lines connecting its limbs and head, if this black panther was still, Then it looks more like a constellation in the starry sky.

What the hell is this?

Just when Fang Zheng was shocked and was about to call Malte and the others for support, suddenly, an excited voice sounded in his ears.

"Mr. Founder! It's great that you're okay! ”

Hearing this, Fang Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then he saw behind the black panther, a girl in a cloak running out of the ruins, panting and waving to him happily. And for this girl, although Fang Zheng is not very familiar, he is not a stranger.

“……… Miss M? ”
