Chapter 220: The Contract Transaction is Profitable
The Red Road does not stick to one form, it can be varied.
Like the red road opened by Xu Changqing this time, it looks like a python, and the red python is swimming in the air, just like a yellow eel swimming in the water.
Then it swallowed the sacrifice in one gulp, and at that moment its mouth was like a pocket that had suddenly opened, and the entire set of armor was swallowed at once, and then it reverted back to a cruising red python, and soon after, it spat out its phalanges.
This phalanx bone is a jade bone, with a bit of blue in the white, and it has the kind of greasy luster that is often played with in the hand.
It is not only a jade bone, but also a magic weapon.
Xu Changqing lifted his clothes and put it vertically on the xiphoid process under the sternum between the two chests, and the phalanges broke through the flesh on their own and fused with the xiphoid process.
Immediately after, his bones began to change, and his whole body was chattering, accompanied by severe pain, which he knew was a normal reaction.
After about two minutes, the pain lessened and quickly disappeared, followed by the feeling of flesh contracting and tightening, which was also uncomfortable, and by the time the pain had passed, he had become skinny.
The bones then form on the surface of his skin, eventually enveloping the whole person like the chitin shell of an arthropod.
Bone armor, tightly textured, glowing with porcelain, and has the elegant arc of the carapace of that kind of insect, this is a unique effect of natural generation, which is difficult to imitate artificially, and once imitated, there are traces of axe chisels and appear ingenious.
But this is not the final form, it will be adjusted in constant use until it fits perfectly into the habits of the individual, this is the highest level of custom-made armor, if it is made by ordinary hand, it is estimated that it will take several years from manufacturing to complete completion.
Therefore, this bone armor can also be seen as the embodiment of technological craftsmanship, which is higher than the level of relevant production processes in the origin world.
The process of armor loading and unarming is like Star-Lord's helmet in the [Guardians of the Galaxy] series, which can be fully disassembled and energized, and when needed, the model nodes will be protruded under the skin, and then the nodes will be hooked, and then expanded and generated.
Between these nodes is actually a hexagonal structure of a hive, obviously, a lot of knowledge about architecture and so on is common in many worlds, and the flow of bones also knows how to keep pace with the times, not that I am proud of myself.
What's more, the bone armor does not exist independently, but is connected to the internal bones, and can even form an interosseal structure that connects the inside and outside, like the strip between the outer shell and the inner frame, and the flesh and skin is the padding between the two.
Such a three-dimensional structure is far more protective than ordinary wearable armor. Not to mention that it greatly enhances the advantages of the original bones.
And just as he had thought beforehand, the bone armor made his gift to the impostor Death Believer more in tune with his newfound passive talent.
Hitomi's scarlet hue turned dark red, less conspicuous, and the high-profile Death Cloak turned into a flirtatious Neo coat.
You must know that the clothing design of the Matrix is the cool and mysterious of cyberpunk, and the simple waist black coat with a slender figure is really handsome to wear, if there is still a pair of Ray-Ban glasses.
Xu Changqing does not have Ray-Ban glasses, but he has the skull armor of the punisher, which replaces the original helmet, mainly to avoid the smell being smelled by monsters.
What's more, he needs these external blessings to strengthen his connection with the power of death, including the choice of the Bone Staff for this purpose, and he doesn't mind dressing up as a modern-day version of the Disciple of Death in order to better use the power of death.
Finally living up to his good intentions, the number of white bone ghosts that he can control has increased from two to three.
Some people will say that people also use the skull awakening technique, and they dare not say that the sea of skulls, dozens of them are no problem, how did it become so complicated for you to get here.
He went to the elite route, not the cannon fodder route, one is that the latter's style is not happy, and the other is that this world does not have the conditions to wake up skeletons in large numbers.
The monsters in this world do not have the attributes of corpses, but are more like the description of Tanari demons in the DND system: they are directly transformed from souls......
Otherwise, there is no need to wait until now, the immortal system has a way to manipulate living corpses, and he can completely let the demon abuse fight by himself.
In the afternoon, Xu Changqing once again found a demon abuse practice, this time his methods were obviously much richer, in addition to pain and spells, he also used sacrifices, stabs, and mourning. Sacrifice is sacrifice, thorn is bone spur, mourning is loss of sensory functions and other abilities, very similar to the near-death effect.
These three new techniques, except for the sacrifice that requires two seconds of casting time, are all instantaneous, but they need to point to the ritual or telekinesis lock, pointing to the ritual fingers, staff fingers, and even eye gaze, but there must be this concentration process, the latter is more arbitrary, but it consumes soul power to lock, if it is to deal with a group of enemies, this soul power saving is still very necessary.
Spells are generally divided into casting cooldown and postoperative cooldown, sacrifice is the former, and the others are the latter, and with the increase of these three spells, it can be cast in a cycle, but even if it is a boss-level demon, there is no need to go on a complete set, and half a set is basically slaughtered.
Sacrifice is a skill that comes with the Red Road Pioneer, and it is not among the three new death spells, and the three new spells, in addition to stabbing and mourning, also have a spear.
The Bone Spear is a very interesting spell, divided into three parts, namely a 3-second spear cone, a 7-second half-spear and a 12-second spiral heavy spear, and if it is cast for more than 20 seconds, it will create a complete bone spear, which can be used as a weapon.
The Bone Spear is the only spell he currently has that has a direct lethal effect, and it is a killer feature.
Of course, he hadn't forgotten the original intention of concluding the Death Realm Contract, but the Combined Soul would inevitably be inseparable from magic weapons such as the Soul Furnace, and even if it was maintained, the consumption of mana would be extremely high. It was not practical for him in the initial stage, and magic weapons were not available in a short period of time, so he chose the White Bone Ghost.
White bones, as well as ghosts, are all summoned from the dead world, the elite version of the skeleton warrior, the white bones are as steel as iron, the key is the head, and the ghost resides in the skull.
Because the outer way is a combat job, the non-combat spells are obviously not powerful enough, and it is a fairy road system, even if it is cannon fodder, he can also carry out external reinforcement for it, weapons, armor, can be at the magic weapon level, and can also use the talisman to provide temporary BUFF.
Not now, now it is a mixed system of the two powers of fire and death, and it is a pure war job, casting, alchemy, enchantment and the like are all life professions, and the difference between them and war jobs is extremely clear. It is very difficult to master a new trade.
Fortunately, his skeleton warrior is elite, and has some abilities that ordinary skeletons don't have, such as elemental enhancement. They are able to extract elements from demonic weapons to strengthen their bones. And Xu Changqing needs to find a way, otherwise he can only use his claws.
Xu Changqing couldn't refine the weapon, so he could only make a bone spear and let it be used first. In his plan, the ideal weapon for the skeleton warrior is the sword and shield, which has deterrent power and high defense, and the choice of the sword and shield is naturally fine.
Fighting, only the battle is the most reliable test, everything else is empty talk.
He didn't choose a direction and attack all the way, but wiped out a group in the east and a group in the west, selecting targets and annihilating them in the case of maneuvering, with the flying boat in hand, his combat area could be large enough to have demons to annihilate without making them anxious.
A total of three battles were fought in the afternoon, and the training of troops, as well as familiarization with skills and polishing tactics, did not feel any good, and time slipped away.
After counting the time, he chose to go back to camp.
Although the power of death in his body was becoming active, looking forward to the arrival of the night, he also had a sense of expansion of his power, and he was eager to try. But in the end, he decided to follow the normal human routine. It's better to be steady.
By the time he returned to camp, the sun was setting over the horizon. Outside of the human stronghold, every day, only at dawn and dusk can you see the sun, giving people the feeling that as long as you keep going west or east, you can go to a place where there are no dark clouds.
But in reality this is a delusion. The sunlight can only be seen at this point in time because dawn and dusk are moments of special significance, representing this alternation, change, mixture and independence.
It was also at this moment that Xu Changqing saw the enchantment shrouded in the area of the Sword Tooth Camp, and the protection here was far stronger than he had previously thought. It not only shows that there are high-ranking people in the camp, but also shows that there are powerful monsters to guard against, and the enchantment consumes energy every minute, and the cost of maintaining it is not low.
Speaking of this, Xu Changqing naturally thought of the operating costs of the Daoya camp.
No matter how personal and maverick it may seem, it's impossible to detach itself from some basic concepts, among which is operations.
Balance is the bare minimum for a healthy organization.
He doesn't think that the operation here is healthy, there is no self-sufficient farm characteristics here, but more like a military station, the military station depends on logistics, but the people here are very high, and there is very little interaction with mortals, so who provides their logistics?
A name is coming out, the Sisters of the Holy Eye.
He had asked about the organization from Burning Moon yesterday, and now he had taken the initiative to come to the door, and he still owed a self-introduction to the owner of this camp.
He was not received by the spiritual leader of the place, Roth, but by the Guardian Heroine.
"I am Bai Ying, the leader of the Battle Nuns, and welcome to you, Adventist. As long as you fight against monsters, the sisters of the Sisters are your comrades, but you need to do more to earn our trust. ”
The woman looked to be in her thirties, like a ripe peach, the type of ******** rarely seen in the Orientals. Due to the lack of exercise, the skin and flesh are firm and wheat-colored.
Now that the heat is gone, it is in the wilderness, and it has been raining recently, and the slightest coolness comes and goes with the wind, and the skin is penetrating, but this young woman is still wearing a summer dress, a tight tank top, bumps without a cover, hot pants, and two thighs and arms exposed, as if she is deliberately seducing people.
XU CHANGQING IS COMPLETELY HOLDING ON TO THIS LEVEL OF COLOR.
He didn't have a dry mouth, he was embarrassed and couldn't speak, like a rookie, and he didn't secretly swallow saliva or ****.
He looked at Bai Ying squarely with the calmness of a familiar old prostitute and the composure of a monk.
There is no avoidance and no look, there is no endless look, there is neither **** nor appreciation in his eyes, as if Bai Ying's seductive carcass is an ordinary thing in his eyes, no different from a table and a bookcase.
His train of thought was obviously on the content of what Bai Ying said, and he responded: "When you say this, you are assigning tasks?" ”
"It's very free, there's no assignment. Of course if you're looking for something to do, we can provide some. You can use this to brush up our friendship and get some real rewards. ”
"Sounds great. I'm new to the city and I'm adapting, so if there's anything suitable, I might as well recommend it. ”
"You're humble."
Xu Changqing gritted his teeth and smiled: "Actually, it's just a matter of sparing." ”
"There is indeed one, my sister found a newly opened cave in the west. Monsters are accustomed to using the cave environment for planting and breeding, and once they start operating, they will become their new logistical fulcrum. Now it is up to the individual to conduct an in-depth investigation. If there is a major situation, record the report, and if it can, simply erase it. ”
Xu Changqing thought for a while and said, "I can try it." ”
Bai Ying nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, I appreciate your honest style of considering whether you have the ability to do it first, rather than bargaining and then evaluating whether to do it." If that cave is indeed a new granary created by the monsters, and you can do it on your own, you'll get an additional cave to live in for free for a year. ”
"Sounds pretty good."
Bai Ying took out a roll of maps from his pocket, handed it to Xu Changqing, and said, "You have three days, if you haven't taken action after that, please return the map." ”
"Understood." Xu Changqing took the map, took a brief look at it and put it away, and reported: "My code name is Jidu, the main goal at present is to practice and improve my strength, I like to fly solo, and it is incumbent on me to kill monsters, take your camp as a rest point, please take care of me." ”
"Well, there are not many rules in the Sisters' Order, and they treat people with sincerity, but the people who come from all over the world, dragons and snakes are mixed, maintain a certain degree of self-discipline, don't meddle in things, and you can live happily here. If necessary, I can arrange for a sister to tell you more about the situation. ”
"Okay, thank you very much for having a guide."
"Charged."
"That's also thankful, time is precious, and it hurts your face."
Bai Ying smiled, Xu Changqing gave her a good sense, she was not a person of temperament, but she was honest, and her words were simple and plain, not the kind of rhetoric that opened her mouth indiscriminately.
It's just that some aspects are a little weird, or rather, they haven't been able to test their true colors.
So she finally took Meng Lang a hand, and asked when she said goodbye: "By the way, are you a man?" ”
Xu Changqing, who had already walked a few steps, turned around and smiled at her: "When you get the right to live in the cave, you can verify it with me." ”
