Gao Duosi went to the three villages of Baiyang, Sinjisan, and Ethan, all of which are located on the border of the Hengduan Mountains, with a total population of more than 1,000, and are easy to find.

And when Gaudus raised the bag full of gold coins, the villagers rushed over, raising their wrists, all wanting to be the first blood donor... After all, for ordinary villagers, the allure of gold coins is too great.

In return for 30 gold coins, Gaudus collected a full 50 gallons of blood, which was expected to fill the grooves that made up the six-pointed star.

Back in the Crypt Hall, Gaudos took out the blood-filled clay pots from the spatial ring, and drilled a small hole in the bottom of the pot. Blood trickled down the small hole at the bottom, and after 15 minutes, the blood gradually filled the grooves, and the entire six-pointed star turned a dark red color.

The moment the blood filled the six-pointed star, Gaudus heard a heavy muffled sound of gold and iron colliding, as if some huge mechanism had been activated, and then, there was a loud rumbling.

The ground shuddered suddenly, and the stone bricks under Gao Duo's feet began to sink continuously, and after a certain degree of subsidence, they came to a standstill, and all the stone bricks were connected to each other, showing a sloping downward slope. Finally, a spiral staircase in the shape of a vortex appeared before Gauldos's eyes.

It is a staircase that descends, like a road to hell, and there is no end or end in sight when you look down. Gaudus orders a dominant skeleton to go down and explore the path, continuing to stomp and smash into walls along the way to trigger traps. However, things were not as complicated as Gauldos had imagined, and he did not trigger a single trap until the end.

At the end of the spiral staircase, there is a steel gate with a skull relief with sheep's horns engraved on it. This skeleton has no human features, more like a demon painted on a glass mural in a church, with a clear outline, cold and hideous, full of evil, strange and brutal temperament, especially those eyes, which are not empty sockets, but burning scarlet hellfire, like the resentful spirits of hell ready to move, jumping endlessly!

Although he only saw the relief pattern of the demon's skull through the skull's vision, Gaudus still got a glimpse of the cold, terrifying coercion from the other side, and this coercion was full of demonic and evil allures.

In the dark, it was as if he heard the gentle whispers in his ears, and each syllable seemed to echo in his heart and tug at his soul.

"Come on in... Come on in..."

Gao Duos steadied his mind, this voice seemed to have been heard somewhere, with a hint of old age and temptation, but for a moment he couldn't remember.

Obviously, just step through the door carved with the devil's skull relief, and the secrets of the dungeon will be revealed, but there is a high chance that you will fall into a trap.

Gao Duosi manipulated the skeleton to push the iron door, but it didn't move at all under the push, and the sound still echoed endlessly in Han's ears, could it be that this door can only be pushed open by his own hands?

Gaudus had been here for too long, had spent too much energy, and at this point, he could choose to leave, but he didn't.

Gauldos walked down step by step to the steel gate, and pushed it open.

He was accompanied by 5 skeleton minions.

What catches your eye is a pedestal cast of black metal, on which there seems to be an invisible hand, holding a heavy helmet with a mask of deep color.

This is a dark silver mask heavy helmet, gorgeous, heavy, solemn, deep is its biggest feature, and the front is a skeleton mask exactly like the iron door relief, reflecting the black and gold luster full of bone texture, and the top of the helmet also stands slightly oblique with two thick horns similar to sheep's horns. Overall, it doesn't look like a helmet, more like a demon's skull made of metal.

As he looked at the demonic skull-like helmet, his heart swayed. And in front of his eyes, the cold helmet was gradually distorting and deformed, a large number of cell tissues and scaly skin grew and spread out of thin air, covering the helmet, and turned into a fleshy, hateful-looking demon head!

Hallucinations?

No, it's soul magic!

Although the scene in front of him was abnormally distorted, Gaudus did not feel any unusual feelings, why was that?

According to the usual experience of the game, under the influence of soul magic, you should lose your senses of sight, hearing, touch, smell and taste, which are the so-called five senses, accompanied by severe headaches.

But none of that.

Gao Duos began to inspect his attribute panel, and was surprised to find that the innate ability 1 [Soul Enhancement] was shining!

[Innate Ability 1, Soul Enhancement: Because of your intervention in the world, your soul is incomparably tenacious and powerful. 】

Could it be that the soul is strengthened, weakening the effect of soul magic?

Gaudus immediately used the soul connection to connect the other 5 souls that dominated the skeleton. This hand really worked, and the soul fire in the eye sockets of the five skeletons swayed wildly, clutching their heads, and fell to their knees in pain, struggling in pain, and correspondingly, the soul attack power from the demon skull helmet suddenly weakened a lot.

With the sharing of the 5 Domination Skeletons, this soul attack was instantly eliminated.

"My dear Ray. Mr. Field, I know you don't have the gift of soul powers, so please stop playing these self-deceptive tricks, can't we sit down and talk? Do you want to be locked up in this dark rat's nest forever? ”

In order to achieve the effect of provocation, Gaudus slightly accentuated the tone of the words "rat's nest".

The distorted scenery slowly returned to its original state, and an angry voice echoed in the ears of Gadors:

"How do you know?"

Gao Duos looked at the demon mask helmet and said, "Old fellow, I know you very well. ”

The voice was silent for a long time, then sighed and said:

"I didn't expect you... You've mastered both 'soul' and 'undead' abilities, so you should be..."

"Yes, Ray. Mr. Field, I'm a 'necromancer'. ”

After saying this, Gao Duos picked up the hideous and gorgeous demon skull helmet with both hands.

The skull helmet came to the hand, and there was a cold and smooth touch between the fingertips, and at the same time, there was a faint tingling sensation, as if the little ghost who was lodged on this skull helmet stretched out its sharp claws and gently scratched your fingertips and palms with its nails.

"I have to say, you're such a cunning fox... You actually used the [Soul Splitting Technique] spell scroll to split one of your soul clones. In this way, even if your body and main soul are killed, you still have a chance to make a comeback...... As long as a fool like me gets in here, right? ”

The so-called soul splitting technique is a soul magic that high-level soul mages in the game must learn, splitting their own souls to create soul clones, and after the death of the ontology, the soul clone will inherit the consciousness of the ontology, become an independent individual, and continue to move.

The voice fell silent, not responding. Gordos lowered his head, approached the helmet, and whispered:

"I have a few questions, please be honest with me, otherwise, as you know, a necromancer is moody, especially me, often can't control my temper."

The voice was silent for a moment, then replied with some annoyance, "Are you threatening me? ”

Gauldos was noncommittal, and then chanted a spell to dominate the skeleton at the Skull.

Thunder suddenly echoed in my ears. Field's terrible screams, unleashing the wrong magic on the wrong target, no one knows what will happen in the end. The biggest possibility is that the magic is incorrectly activated, and the target hit by the magic can only suffer this consequence.

For example, the correct target for dominating skeletons is a corpse with a remnant soul and a thunder. The Demon Skull Helmet of Field's soul was clearly the wrong target, but Gaudus did just that. So Ray. Field's soul let out a terrible wail, a manifestation of his excruciating pain under the influence of the dominant skeleton's magic.

Gaudus stopped chanting and asked faintly, "Tell me about this helmet." ”

In his ears, the sound of violent wheezing continued to rise and fall, until the pain that penetrated deep into the soul subsided somewhat. Field finally relented and said, "You won." ”

Thunder. After a pause, Field said, "This is what I got by accident... A treasure... I named it... The Devil's Iron Skull. ”

"The Devil's Iron Skull? Isn't it amazing? ”

"Isn't it amazing?" When he heard Gaudus ask, he replied weakly, painfully, and with a little affection and pride, "It's, oh no, it's him, he's, it's strong." ”

…

【The Devil's Iron Skull】

[Introduction: A terrifying giant helmet made from some mysterious heavy metal and what seems to be the skull of some devil, which contains a desperate terrifying power... Even if it's Thunder. Field also can't let the head bow, it will only succumb to the real strong. 】

[Types: Helmets, heavy armor.] 】

[Grade: Blue (increases with the master's ability.] 】

[Condition: Perfect.] 】

[Host: None.] 】

[Equipment requirements: none.] 】

[Attached attribute 1, Devil's Coercion Lv1: The Devil's Iron Skull exudes terrifying coercion, and anyone who dares to look directly at the Iron Skull will be deterred by the Devil's Coercion (the level will increase with the master's ability to advance). 】

[Collateral Attribute 2, Soul Shelter Lv1: The Devil's Iron Skull is also a shelter for the soul, but only the soul approved by him can stay in it, and the soul of the weak who is not recognized will only be devoured by it (the level will be increased with the master's ability to advance). 】

[Recognized Soul: Ray. Field. 】

【Soul of Lodgement: Ray. Field. 】

This turned out to be... Growable equipment.

Gao Duos gently stroked the slender horns of the devil's iron skull, even if he was calm and restrained, he couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart.

Growable equipment, rarity is its biggest feature, each piece has terrifying potential, their initial grade is generally blue or even white, and the attributes and collateral effects are not satisfactory. However, after recognizing the master, with the improvement of the master's strength, they will also evolve and gradually transform into a powerful... Artifact.

Strength also means personality and pride, and each piece of growth equipment has its own character, its own habits, and even its own soul. For example, the [Sword in the Stone] will only submit to the real king, the owner of the [Goddess of Wealth's Gold Counting Hand] turned out to be an alchemist who worked part-time as a merchant, and the leader of the great rebel army depicted in the "Heroic Epic" held in his hand the spear [Unyielding Backbone] that represented the spirit of resistance.

The Devil's Iron Skull is no exception. Nowadays, it seems that it will only succumb to the strong, that is, the weak cannot get its approval.

Gaudus tried to communicate with the Iron Skull at the soul level, and his consciousness gradually penetrated into the inside of the Iron Skull, and the scene in front of him suddenly became distorted.

The scene in front of him changed rapidly, and he saw... Battlefield.

The long river of flames, the scarlet sky of lightning and thunder, the mountains of bones, soaked in severed arms and stumps, like streams and lakes... In this hellish battlefield, demons with wings and horns on their heads fight each other, and then one by one they fall and die.

The horrific image lasted only a moment before it vanished. A thick, rough, brutal and majestic strange voice rang out from the ears of Gaudos:

"Mortal, you don't deserve my approval, for Thunder's sake, get out!"

Gaudus awoke suddenly, the scene shaking violently as the explosive pain fermented and spread from the top of his skull, and drops of blood trickled down his nostrils.

Just a voice from the Iron Skull.

Health halved.
