290. [Tomb Raider 9] Divinity Refining
In less than half an hour, the wound on Rose's calf was scabbed. Most of the torn flesh had grown back, and he was able to walk on his own, with only a slight limp. It was a miracle that he himself could not believe it. Looking at the scabbed wound, he shook his head again and again: "This is amazing, my God, such a serious injury can be cured?" ”
He tried to stride hard, but his left leg went limp and he almost fell. "Laura," he said, "you need to get my backpack back." It was taken away by a wolf, and there was a positioning signal transmitter inside. Without it, rescuers would not have been able to find us. ”
Laura agreed without even thinking about it.
At the same time, a person from the Brotherhood of the Sun was reporting to Nan Xiao. "Chief," he said in awe, "the thing is shining again, and it's calling you. ”
"That thing?"
Nan Xiao didn't understand what this person was talking about at all, but he was the boss of this group of people, so he could be completely unreasonable. So he raised his hand confidently and slapped the man's big mouth: "Say it clearly!" What is it? ”
The man received a big mouth for no reason, and he didn't dare to defend himself, so he said aggrievedly: "It's the one you let us watch at any time, as long as it shines."
Nan Xiao gave him another big mouth: "Lead the way." ”
The man may have thought it was a little strange, but he didn't dare to say it, so he led the way in front.
After walking for a long time, I finally came to a hidden ancient building. The biggest, best room clearly belonged to Matthias. There was a bright light in the room. It's not a light, it's some kind of ghostfire-like fluorescence.
Two people stood guard at the door, looking nervous. When he saw Nan Xiao coming, he said, "Boss, it's lit up again!" ”
"What's the panic," Nan Xiao waved his hand to signal them to leave, "Don't bother me if it's okay." ”
"Yes." Several people hurried away.
Nan Xiao walked into the room and closed the door.
Shining is a wood-carved beauty, wearing a gorgeous beaded crown and a graceful robe, lifelike and vivid. The first moment he saw her, Nan Xiao immediately reacted, this must be the statue of Queen Himiko.
At this moment, the statue was emitting a faint fluorescence, and the entire room was dyed with a strange layer of cyan.
Nan Xiao walked towards the statue, feeling that the eyes of the wood carving seemed to be staring at him all the time.
If it were an ordinary person, I was afraid that I would be so scared that I couldn't straighten my legs. But he was not afraid at all. After being promoted to transcendental, he also had some understanding of such a phenomenon. It's just a sign of the overflow of spiritual power. Nan Xiao himself has tried, and he can make things glow, but he can't make the wood carving in front of him as perfect.
If you guess correctly, this wood sculpture must have been one of the mediums through which Himiko communicated with the outside world. It is not known how Matthias picked it up, or how long he kept the wood carving. No wonder he is so fanatically obsessed with the Sun Queen, I am afraid that he has long been brainwashed by Himiko.
Nan Xiao stretched out his hand, ready to make contact with the wood carving, but stopped.
If I'm not mistaken, Himiko must be very familiar with the soul of Mamatias. This is a realm that illusions can't simulate. Illusion can deceive the five senses of humans, but it cannot falsify soul communication. If you touch it rashly, you will definitely be goofed.
The fluorescence of the wood carving rises and falls, like a person's breath. The frequency of ups and downs is getting faster and faster, and he seems to be impatient, urging him to respond quickly.
What to do?
Nanxiao teleported to the top of Mount Everest and found Matthias's body.
It's already a corpse. The peak was dozens of degrees below zero, and the air pressure was low, so Matthias wore a short sleeve and couldn't carry it at all. When Nan Xiao found him, he was already frozen.
Cutting off Matthias's head with a sword, Nan Xiaohao threw 500 soul power and traveled back to the world of Stardew Valley.
Everything was still the same as when it first left, and Pelican Town was shrouded in terror. But none of this had anything to do with him, all he wanted was the coffin.
The mysterious coffin can summon the old man of Nankong, who has been dead for a few years, so it must be no problem to summon a person who has just died.
Nan Xiao's attainments in the necromancy department are relatively shallow, so he can only give it a try when he touches a dead mouse.
In the sewers, the coffin was still in its original place, but unfortunately it was split in half by the dwarven axe.
Nan Xiao put the broken coffin back in two and threw Matthias's head into it. When he lit the candles in the four corners of the coffin, a miracle happenedMatthias's soul appeared!
However, it may be because it was cut in two, and the coffin had a poor effect on summoning souls. Matthias's soul was clear and vague, as if the cell phone signal was bad.
It doesn't matter, you can use it once anyway. Nan Xiao didn't care whether the signal was good or not, and began to concentrate on studying Matthias's soul.
Studying the soul is something that ordinary people can't do. It looks like a dark blue shadow. However, in front of Nan Xiao's perception of 39, everything is completely different.
"Is this the soul?" He exclaimed, "So...... Precision ......"
Delicate, precise, compact, perfect, the human soul is truly the most exquisite of creation, and there is no one.
Matthias' soul is dissipating. This just gave Nan Xiao the opportunity to learn. It's a rare opportunity to watch how it weakens little by little, like an egg that has broken its shell, constantly eroded and decomposed by the outside world.
In the billowing mist of the soul, there were faint strands of gold entangled. It lurks deeply, is very undetectable, and is as good at hiding itself as a snake like a snake. In a sense, it is alive and has been trying to escape Nan Xiao's observation.
However, after all, it couldn't escape Nan Xiao's eyes. He keenly noticed the gold threads and recognized them for the first time.
The divinity of the Sun Queen Himiko is only possible with this.
As it turned out, Matthias had become a fanatical believer in the Queen of the Sun, and had even been given divinity, so it was no wonder that he was so bent on resurrecting Himiko.
Studying the soul of a fanatic believer is no less than slapping Himiko in the face. If this is in the Tomb Raider world, it is impossible not to be discovered by her. However, this is the world of Stardew Valley, and with the godhead of Himiko, it is impossible to track it across the barriers between the crystal wall systems.
Nan Xiao grabbed those few divinities and decisively pulled them out of Matthias's broken soul. This can almost be considered torture. Matthias's soul wailed violently, shattered and exploded to ashes.
Divinity wrapped around Nan Xiao's fingers, swaying blankly. It instinctively wants to return to its essence, but it can't find it.
The god-nature of the ownerless is a great supplement.
Nan Xiao twisted these few traces of divinity into marshmallows and swallowed them in one gulp.
The next moment, his whole body was covered in golden light, and his whole person was like a mountain, like a god and demon. This image lasted only for a very short moment, but it gave him a glimpse of the path beyond the transcendental.
Gather the power of faith, refine divinity, and condense the godhead, so that you can be qualified to be called a true god. Although Sakura Dragon is strong, it has no godhead, and it can barely be regarded as a divine beast. The heirloom jade seal is just a tonic. Their power alone is not enough to be a true god.
Himiko has been trapped for a thousand years, believers have died, and the Godhead has been crumbling. The remnants of the Storm Guardians couldn't protect her. This time he must devour her divinity, seize her power, and thus refine his own godhead.
It's really a great prey.
