Chapter 289: The Origin of the Plague
Hiding his body, he followed the funeral procession all the way out of the town, and watched the coffin be sent into the fire to burn after various ceremonies.
From beginning to end, Mao Rui did not show his figure, but kept staring at the coffin that was constantly burning in the flames, to be precise, the corpses that existed in the coffin.
Although he needed a corpse to refine the blood guard, he was not mad enough to take the corpse of the deceased. Just because Mao Rui won't do this doesn't mean that others won't, and he knows that there are many exercises that require corpses.
It is very likely that this plague was man-made, and in order to obtain the corpse, some unscrupulous person deliberately spread the plague in this town.
Mao Rui also thought of this key point when he saw this funeral team, so he followed.
If someone really came to touch this corpse, Mao Rui estimated that it would not be far from lifting the plague.
The flames became more and more intense, and seeing that the coffin was about to be burned clean, and the corpse inside was about to be exposed to the flames, Mao Rui, who was hiding his figure, couldn't help frowning.
Is it just that I am thinking too much, this is a natural plague?
Just as Mao Rui doubted his own judgment, a dark shadow that was difficult for mortals to distinguish appeared in Mao Rui's consciousness, broke into the fire of the crematorial corpse, collected the body of the deceased, and placed a piece of wood with a size similar to the corpse.
Because the flames were so strong that people could not see through the flames whether they were dead or wood, the families of the deceased did not know that their deceased loved ones had been reduced to a piece of wood.
The dark shadow thought that he was doing it seamlessly, and he wanted to slip away after completing the feat of changing the tanuki for the prince, and the secret Mao Rui's eyes flashed, and he secretly followed to see what this guy was going to do with the corpse.
The Dark Shadow sneaked all the way to a mountainous area on the other side of the town, and stopped in front of an inconspicuous hill, revealing a figure dressed entirely in black, carrying a corpse stolen from the coffin on its back.
The man in black was very cautious, looking around and using his divine sense to make sure that there was no one around before going up the mountain.
In fact, Mao Rui was standing not far from the man in black, how could he discover Mao Rui's existence with the magic cultivation of the man in black who was equivalent to the early stage of foundation building.
The man in black came up the hill and entered a cave. Mao Rui looked at the crude magic array around the cave, with disdain in his eyes, and followed him directly.
The magic array is similar to the formation, but the different manifestations of different systems are just different performances, and there is not much difference in essence.
The exterior of the cave looks no different from different caves, but the interior has a unique cave, and it is decorated with luxury.
There were five people in the cave, and six after the arrival of the man in black. The man in black casually threw the corpse to the side of the cave, and said to a big man with a beard and golden curly hair: "Big brother, I just looked at the outside world when I went to get the corpse, and found that the number of those guys has increased again, there are more than ten more magicians, and there are countless magicians. ”
Fortunately, the languages of the Heavens and Continents are all universal, and if you want to speak one language in a country like Earth, Mao Rui really can't understand what they are talking about.
Mao Rui has also understood the realm of magicians, from low to high: magic apprentice, magician, magician, magician, magician, magician, forbidden spellmaster, and great forbidden magician.
In the cultivation system: the Qi refining period, the foundation building period, the Jindan period, the Yuan infant period, the void transformation period, the Mahayana period, and the tribulation period correspond to each other.
As for the existence above the Great Forbidden Spell Master in the Magic Department, it is the same as the realm after the Tribulation Period, and it is not something that Mao Rui can only know, even if it is only the name of the realm.
"Hmph, those useless things are just a little higher, and they haven't been played around by us. When there are a few more corpses, our magic will be completed, and when the time comes, we will just leave here, what can they do with us?" Barry, known as Big Brother, said disdainfully.
The rest of the people in the cave laughed when they heard this, they used this method of spreading the plague to obtain corpses, and there have been eight scourges in a town like this, and that time it was not surrounded by the nearby magical forces with an enchantment, and it is still alive and well?
"Those guys out there don't even have the courage to enter the town, they're just a bunch of bastards, but a few mages who were originally staying in the town have been in trouble lately, and I'm worried that it will ruin our plans. The man in black who was being followed by Mao Rui, named Brad, said with a worried face at the moment.
"Jeff, Aisharah, you two go and pay attention, we can't let these stupid guys ruin our plans, and if they can't do it, we can solve it. "Barry can sit in the position of the boss, in addition to being the strongest, his brain is not useless, and he immediately sent two of his men to deal with this matter.
"Yes. "Jeff is a middle-aged man, with an honest appearance, and Elshara is a female mage, maintaining the vitality of a young girl, and both of them answered at the same time.
Before they started, these people had already figured out the strength of all the mages in the town, and the highest one was a junior magician, and the others only had the cultivation of magic apprentices. Let the two intermediate magicians, Jeff and Aishara, handle it, and they can easily complete this task.
Even if all the mages in the town joined forces, they were no match for the two of them.
"Brad has worked hard these past few days, so let's go down and rest first. The two of you and I will work together to refine the corpses of the past few days into a demon element. Barry commanded again.
Brad went down, and Barry walked straight deeper into the cavern, and the two remaining mages took the corpse Brad had brought.
Mao Rui actually came up with it just when Barry said that they would leave for a purpose, and finally resisted the impulse, and now he also went down to see what the corpses of these people were for.
In the deepest part of the cavern, there is a pool filled with a dark green liquid as well as... Pools full of corpses.
Judging by the clothing of the corpses, these were the inhabitants of the town who had died of the plague.
It stands to reason that the smell of a room of corpses is not good to take, but Mao Rui found that there was no peculiar smell in the air, no different from fresh air. Presumably, the dark green liquid in the pool must have played a key role.
Barry's men threw the body brought by Brad into the pool, and the three of them scattered among the three small magic circles around the pool, and began to chant magic spells.
The dark green liquid boiled over the three of them, either high or low, and a trace of gas wafted out of the corpse soaked in the liquid, which was only visible to the divine sense.
The gas condensed over the pool, and as more and more gas emanated from the corpse, it eventually condensed into an emerald green diamond-shaped crystal.
When all the corpses in the pool were gone, a total of eighteen of these crystals were condensed.
"Haha, this time I'm lucky, a total of eighteen corpse dust crystals have been produced, and my magic cultivation can be upgraded to a higher level. Barry laughed and beckoned to the diamond-shaped crystal.
The Corpse Crystal floated towards Barry, and to the trio's surprise, the Corpse Crystal suddenly changed direction in the middle of the way, flying towards the entrance at a faster speed.
The three of them turned their heads to look, only to see a black-haired, black-eyed, yellow-skinned, big-mouthed young man standing there at some point, holding the eighteen corpse dust crystals they had just condensed in his hand.
"Who are you?" asked Barry, secretly motioning for two of his men to surround him.
Mao Rui ignored Barry's question, and his divine sense reached out to study the corpse dust crystal in his hand. After discovering that this spar contained extremely rich pure energy, the vortex in his mind emitted a huge suction force, absorbing the energy of one of the corpse dust crystals.
The three of Barry saw that Mao Rui had absorbed the corpse dust crystals they had worked so hard to obtain, and they showed annoyance, but because they couldn't see through Mao Rui's cultivation, they didn't act rashly for the time being.
Mao Rui only showed his form, and the effect of the concealment technique to cover his aura was still there, coupled with Mao Rui's powerful divine sense, even if Barry was a high-level magician among the three, that is, a late cultivation in the foundation building, he would not want to check out Mao Rui's realm.
"That's why you created the plague for this kind of thing?" Feeling the surging energy flowing into his body, Mao Rui unceremoniously put the remaining seventeen corpse dust crystals into the space bag, and asked playfully as he looked at the three of them.
"You're not from our magical realm, don't meddle. Barry watched Mao Rui put away the corpse dust crystal, and said with a gloomy face.
"Yes, I'm not from the Magic Domain, and I don't bother to bother with your business, I'm just passing by here and being trapped by the huge barrier outside, so I'm here to ask if you have any way to leave. Mao Rui didn't want to entangle with these guys at all, and said lazily.
"It's okay to send you out of the enchantment, but how can we believe that you won't keep the secrets here high enough for those people from the magic family outside. Barry didn't let his guard down in the slightest.
Mao Rui held his mouth, if this happened in the Xiuzhen Domain, he might be able to take care of it, as for the life and death of the people in the Magic Domain, what does it matter to him, no matter how many people die, they will not care.
"It's easy not to tell me, you can get it by killing you through soul searching. Mao Rui had expected that the other party would not easily send him out of the enchantment range, and a fierce color flashed in his eyes, and he shot without warning.
With a hard kick under his feet, he stepped out of the ground a few cracks, and his body rushed out like a cheetah, and in the blink of an eye, he approached the nearest subordinate, and the flesh on his palm disappeared into bones, and he grabbed the subordinate by the neck, and twisted it hard to break his vertebrae.
The three of Barry had actually been guarding against Mao Rui, but this had no effect at all, Mao Rui's shot was too fast, and he didn't have time to react.
Looking at his companion with a twisted neck, round eyes, and no breath of life, Barry swallowed his saliva to another subordinate.
Where did this monster come from, the combat power is so terrifying, and it has solved a person before they can see it.
