Chapter 10 Spoils
The thorny vines that grow with the power of the Hellmark are like cables, properly connected, and infused with energy, and the horse can restore them to use. Of course, it is not only the function of a cable, it itself is a unit of energy consumption, the length increases, the power consumption will increase, and the peripheral perception acuity will be repeatedly reduced, even if the ice is true qi through now, Luo Ling's limit perception is only 240 meters, which is much inferior to the light vine of the danzi. I think that in Anshun Street, the cage made by Tuanzi with Tuanteng has been at least 100 meters wider than the limit he can reach.
In addition, according to Himit's remaining memories, a strong person who really makes good use of the vines of Thorn Hell can use the vibrations of the vines to generate microwaves similar to bat sonar, and detect the surrounding environment by receiving these microwaves, which is obviously better than the energy fluctuations transmitted through liquid-like media. It's not just the difference between air and water, it's also the difference between active and passive.
Luo Ling was still far from being able to grasp the essence of the vines, and it was only after obtaining the Ice True Qi that this strange medium of extended power was greatly increased and reached a practical height. A day ago, the vines controlled by Luo Ling were nothing more than dead things that could move due to the effect of power.
A part of the sturdy vines was selected, and the power of the Hellmark nourished and connected to form a coiled snake. Under Luo Ling's will, these thorn snakes began to slowly and carefully pass through the spatial door and enter another world. This is like groping with his hands in an empty box with his eyes closed, and Luo Ling can only imagine the outline of the other side through the objects that the tentacles actually touch.
First of all, he probed into the ground, the gap was square and uniform stone slabs, and Luo Ling's mind sketched a spatial scene paved with stone slabs.
Then tentacles touched the back wall. The hard, flat walls, with the characteristic roughness and coldness of rock, are also unnatural, which proves that the other side is not a cave or something, but a house or temple that has been excavated by hand.
The possibility of the house is small, according to the size of the space door, according to the height of the stone wall behind the door obtained by the vine direction, Luo Ling preliminarily estimated that behind the door was a place similar to the Demon Palace.
There is magical energy, and it is an unusually rich dark rot power, obviously, this is a dark temple that has a lot to do with the negative energy plane, and it is suspected that it is a lair opened by high-level undead spirits or a place to store undead related artifacts.
According to the usual practice, the situation is developing in the direction of bad estimates, the space on the other side is huge, and when approaching the limit of vine exploration, Luo Ling has not been able to detect the floor, the back wall, part of the dome height and a few temple pillars, not to mention the end of the front, even the left and right gables.
Luo Ling raised his hand, and the power of the Thorn Prison Mark ignited a flame like a candle in the palm of his fingers, and he used some of the vines that were originally used to set traps to form an empty shell of sea urchins. The external connections of some of the vines ensure the transfer of energy, which is enough to make it look alive.
The fake sea urchin is not as careful as those path-finding tentacles, it rushes into the space door very abruptly, and then, the sea urchin is subjected to a very violent energy attack, clustered, possibly rays, judging by the trauma of several parts of the destruction, it is suspected to be a disintegration ray of necromancy.
Pretending to be invincible, Luo Ling controlled the empty shell sea urchin to quickly withdraw from the space gate, and at the same time, the other exploration tentacles also trembled and retreated sharply, further cooperating with the empty shell sea urchin, causing the illusion of being seriously injured and retreating.
Maybe the play was too realistic, maybe the person on the other side of the door was in an impatient mood or inexperienced, almost the next second when the fake sea urchin exited the space door, a human figure rushed out of the space door after him, and instantly threw six dark rot balls that had obviously been prepared for a long time.
Kiss! Kiss! …… The sound of the explosion of the dark rot ball seemed to pierce a large amount of water, but the effect was extremely shocking, as if it was breaking through a large bag of highly polluted chemical raw materials, and the fluorescent green viscous liquid splashed and flowed in all directions, and quickly volatilized a large amount of mist. The vines splashed by the liquid rotted and scorched at a geometric rate, and were so disgusting that it was like marble encountering concentrated hydrochloric acid. And the mist with a fluorescent color was obviously also very harmful, and Luo Ling could feel that the vines in the mist were also being eroded by the dark rot power.
"Alas!" Someone sighed in the darkness in the distance.
In another darkness, Luo Lingbiao watched all this expressionlessly, only the fluctuation in his eyes that was in the state of battle and the light of ice chips that forever released a trace of fluctuation proved the inner activity of confirming the victory.
Even if there are people watching from the sidelines, success or failure is already doomed at this moment.
Six Dark Rot Balls destroyed a huge area, including fake sea urchins, and this was the last bit of sweetness Luo Ling gave to the enemy. It's not that he can't resist, it's that he doesn't have to exert that effort anymore.
There is no water here, the enemies who are flying out are falling, there are still many vines of different thicknesses on the ground, and more importantly, Luo Ling has already sealed the space door with a hanging net made of thin vines when the opponent throws the dark rot ball.
Landing on the ground, stepping on the vines, the power of the ice was instantly exerted, and the body of the guy who threw the dark rot ball flashed with an extremely bright halo, which was the result of the energy shield and the power of the ice. He took the opportunity to jump high, but unfortunately he couldn't fly, but unfortunately he was not a strong man who was good at leaping and climbing, he would eventually land again, and he had fallen into a cage of thorns. He himself knew the result, and in a panic, he didn't even have time to activate another spell.
"High combat power, low strain, just a rookie who relies on special means to gain great power?" In the dark, Luo Ling's eyes staring at the target were still cold, and the follow-up attack prepared in his hand was still waiting to be launched, no matter what kind of bird it was, he would not relax until it turned into a dead bird.
With a hoarse wail, the undead master's energy shield finally collapsed on the second landing, so much so that his second jump was only 13 as high as the first. His lower limbs had been frostbitten by the cold, and the terrifying low temperature had affected his muscle vitality, even if he was already an undead creature, the power of the ice still had a profound effect.
The undead master was frozen on the third landing, maintaining a strange landing position, with a frightened face and a mouth still wide open. drew a relatively funny end to Luo Ling's adventure.
In the darkness, the figure of the vine sea urchin slowly appeared, as agile and silent as usual, and under the holy silver light of the space door, it became more and more like a ghost-level monster.
The frozen one, dressed in a very special magical armor, looked like a product of a certain company, and it was obviously a specially built high-end product. Of course, none of this is anything to Luo Ling. To Luo Ling's surprise, he actually knew this undead master without a helmet.
"Zhang Min!?" Luo Ling remembered the righteous man at the Anshun Street base who asked for money for his brother's death. It was a memory that had become somewhat distant. The reason why it can be clearly remembered by Luo Ling is precisely because there is such a person.
After the battle in B1, Xing Juan received information from Song Yizhou's wife that Zhang Min was said to have disappeared, possibly buried under the rubble or reduced to ashes in a violent explosion.
"Has it finally been changed by this cruel world? From one extreme to the other, all that needs to be done is to take a step. At that moment, Luo Ling seemed to see his own shadow in Zhang Min, and the transformation process was condensed into a short and intense story.
A vine slowly rose on Luo Ling's side, and the next moment, it stabbed out violently like a gun, directly piercing Zhang Min's head.
"The next time I see it, at least it's not this face anymore." Luo Ling turned his head, the little sadness in his eyes returned to indifference, and he didn't look at the corpse again.
"What's next?" Luo Ling asked in the dark. By the way, he cut off the vines that had been corroded by the dark rot energy at will, and washed the glowing green liquid towards the abyss with the water that continued to flow down the slope.
"Is that you?" There was an unconcealable surprise in the darkness. It's the one who couldn't help but sigh before.
For some demons, there is no point in playing the trick of changing the voice, they can get to the essence and listen to your voice once, even if you are an expert in ventriloquism, you can't hide it from their ears. Luo Ling knew that he couldn't avoid it, so he simply went with the flow.
"It's good hearing." Luo Ling praised it half-truthfully.
"You know I'm going to have to go in and check it out." In the darkness, Sharu stepped out and stopped outside the web beneath the vines.
"I know you're being told. It is the people of the company who come out of the door, and naturally, it is the people on your side who fail behind the door. ”
Sha Lu shrugged his shoulders and agreed with Luo Ling's statement.
"I thought you'd be interested in what a corpse was carrying. But I have emptied all the water, and you still don't take it. Luo Ling said with some regret.
"There is no water, there are dense vines, and how can a person like you leave such a gap for others?"
Luo Ling smiled silently. "Don't you do the same, never leave, how can I feel comfortable exploring the other side of the space door?"
Sharu also smiled, yes! Isn't it looking forward to Luo Ling being able to enter the space gate, so that the initiative will change hands without any suspense......
The two scheming and clever men stared at each other faintly and fell silent.
"Will you go to the Thunder Palace?" As if just to break the silence, Sharu spoke.
"The people I just killed were all from the company." Luo Ling's question was not answered.
Sharu shook his head, "It's not enough to vote for you, unless you're willing to hand over the Code of the Dead." ”
"Oh...... Code of the Dead, understood." Luo Ling smiled secretly, Shalu was finally calculated by him.
This can't be blamed entirely on Shalu, who would have thought that the person in front of him, who had worked so hard and worked so hard to do something, didn't know what he was busy with.
"Your bar is really high." Luo Ling used coldness and sarcasm to pretend to be unhappy.
Sha Lu was unmoved, it looked at Luo Ling with half-squinted eyes, wanting to confirm the seriousness of Luo Ling's words, but unfortunately, Luo Ling was always hidden behind the smooth flowing vines, and he couldn't see his face at all.
The demonic state, the sense of mystery must be guaranteed. Luo Ling was indeed worried that a guy like Shalu would be able to see some ways from his appearance. And even if it doesn't work, it doesn't work with his boss.
After a few moments, Sharu decided not to touch this dangerous subject again. Said slowly: "Let's talk about the current matter." ”
"I don't think you're going to want to find your colleague's body and bury it."
"How much time do you think we should be wasting on each other? Say. The Code of the Dead is yours, and the Temple of the Dead is yours, and that's it, and I won't make any more concessions. "Sharu, who could not take advantage of anything in the contest of wisdom, chose to quickly enter into negotiations on substantive issues.
"The Code of the Dead was mine." Luo Ling further squeezed the surplus value.
"yes. But you should be aware that outside of the Temple of the Dead, the Code of the Dead cannot be opened at all. Can you tolerate the irregular closing and opening of temple doors? ”
"No, it's going to be lonely to stay there for decades, a hundred years. However, there will always be a solution. ”
Sharu grinned, "But that will have to wait, you can choose not to do so." As he spoke, he saw that it was like a trick to hold out a triangle in his hand, the triangle was the size of a palm, green, translucent, and with black beads embedded in the center, Luo Ling couldn't tell whether it was metal or jade, or wood chips, but he felt extraordinary, just like the feeling when he saw the world for the first time, the difference was that this object seemed to have some shortcomings.
"You're right!" Luo Ling pretended to be slightly surprised and nodded: "You got the key." I thought it was in there. And I'll admit, you're a hide-and-seek winner. ”
"Keys? What do you call it? Hehe, that's right. Seeing that Luo Ling had the intention of giving in, Sha Lu took advantage of the momentum and pursued: "How is it?" I want that thing, and you have the Temple of the Dead. We don't have to spend it here, you know, the crisis is approaching. ”
"So, you shouldn't be secretive anymore, what the hell is that thing? Now, even if there are still artifacts in front of me, I won't be tempted, all I want is the Code of the Dead. ”
"Unless you swear by the law, your real name, the River Styx."
"Ho! It's grand. ”
"If you don't agree, you won't get anything."
"I really admire you, at this point, you can take away a piece of meat." Luo Ling pretended to have a great loss. It seems that he is the losing party in the negotiations.
Sha Lu didn't speak, just shook the object in his hand, exerting invisible pressure on Luo Ling.
"Good!" Luo Ling gritted his teeth and said, "However, you also have to swear by the law, your true name, and the River Styx. ”
In response to Luo Ling's request, Sha Lu also showed an expression of trying to restrain his anger. Luo Ling was somewhat sympathetic to it, because it was not performing.
After the oath, things became extremely smooth, and Luo Ling finally figured out the ins and outs of the prize for this unexpected adventure.
"Code of the Dead", "Spectre Codex" and "Bleach Quotations", the three wonders, respectively represent the top inheritance of the three major factions in the world of Dark Rot. The three are considered to be hierarchical by most people who are aware of their existence. The Code of the Dead is the lowest, stored in the Temple of the Dead. At the same time, the location of the Wraith Sanctuary and the hiding place of its keys are also in the Sanctuary of the Dead. And if you want to get the "Death Quotes", you must first find the Ghost Temple.
"Obviously, this is the entertainment that some dark god has arranged for himself. The name is 'Treasure Hunt'. Himit's memories made Luo Ling aware of the evil tastes of the Demon Lord and the dark gods. What's more, while being entertained, the demons can also harvest high-quality souls. After all, evil ** and depravity of human nature are easy to highlight in the battle for such treasures.
As for why there were suddenly so many secret treasures in this world, Luo Ling was not surprised at all. This land has long been targeted by demons, everything is an explosion after a backlog, and everything is for the purpose of completing corruption and depravity.
Let's watch the fantasy channel of Literature Network, more exciting content is waiting for you
Shalu's colleagues, the two supposedly powerful corpse demons and corpse witch partners, did die on the other side of the spatial gate. It can't be said to be death, because they have such a thing as a soul box, and the soul box is immortal, and the will is eternal. The two of them just returned to their bosses in a state of 'extreme **'. What really dies is just cannon fodder for doing things. It is precisely because of the return of the will that Sharu will be ordered to come to deal with the aftermath.
Therefore, the new danger that Shalu said is approaching, and it is not alarmist, because Zhang Min also has a soul box, he has succumbed, he has changed, and he has become someone's high-level slave. He returned to his boss's side, and the company's emergency response force would naturally arrive as quickly as possible to remedy or deal with the aftermath.
Luo Ling and Sha Lu, after swearing a poisonous oath, can't help each other for the time being, instead of spending here and becoming a crane in the eyes of others again, it is better to take what they need and scatter in two. As a result, the distribution of spoils and the cleaning of the battlefield were quite tacit, and it took less than half an hour, and everything was done.
The Ancient Space Gate at the bottom of the waterway, after losing the essence part, was no longer impregnable, it collapsed into a pile of crispy stones, and was swept into the abyss. And when its essence is combined with the key to the Temple of the Dead, it is a bone frame with a demonic light flowing inside. Finally, it became complete, and after the core orb was activated, it seemed to have an infinite nebula rotating like 'the world', mysterious and gorgeous.
In the first round of treasure competition, because of Luo Ling's unexpected intervention, a company missed out on success. Of the remaining two parties, Luo Ling gained the most, followed by Shalu, who got the location of the Ghost Temple and the map of the key hiding point.
The Code of the Dead is indeed a first-class stranger, but unfortunately, it belongs to the Seventh Chaotic Hell, and it is extremely exclusive. This means that Luo Ling is equivalent to getting the "Sunflower Treasure Book", and before the prison seal is completed, this book can only quench the thirst of Wangmei, or cheapen others.
If you can't cultivate the Code of the Dead, the Temple of the Dead will no longer be a 'spiritual energy-filled treasure land for cultivating truths', but will become a 'stinky gas chamber'. For the time being, in addition to being a rare ornament, it can also be used as a good morgue.
Fortunately, God is not bad to Luo Ling, and after the two useless 'blind treasures', he got two 'living treasures'. Luo Ling called it 'dry food'.
Dry Food One is the guard of the Sanctuary of the Dead, a lich who was forced to swear a poisonous oath a long time ago to guard the treasures that cannot be consulted. This lich, who didn't even know how long he had been imprisoned, was defeated by the company's people, and because the other party did not have the key to the temple, he stubbornly refused to admit that the other party was the owner of the temple, and was finally sentenced to death if he could not survive.
The lich's body was completely shattered, and the people of the company stuffed him into a metal can, opened a thin hole, and used the rich dark rotten energy in the temple to hang his life in the right way, so that his consciousness could not leave this **. In this way, the soul box will not be effective, and even if there are more spare bodies, it will be in vain.
After showing Luo Ling the key to the temple and the Code of the Dead, the lich named Moggug recognized him as the owner of the place, and gave him his soul box according to his original vow, so that as long as he had the law and the temple, then Moggug would serve him for a thousand years in order to gain his freedom.
There is no doubt that there is another vow to be made in this process, and everyone understands the importance of the 'labor contract', and the terms have been carefully thought out and honed for a long time. It is impossible for Luo Ling to pick every crack in the ground in this harsh environment, looking for Moggug's soul box, and there is no need to permanently tie this immortality to his warship. A thousand years of allegiance is enough in Luo Ling's opinion. A thousand years from now, the lich, if it still exists, will never be as important as it is now.
The other 'dry food' is the fifth target that was previously hidden by Luo Ling. After seeing his true face, even a person like Luo Ling, who does not believe in fate, rarely has the feeling of 'the mountains do not turn around, and there are encounters everywhere in life'. This person turned out to be Xuanyuan Yanshui, the eldest daughter of the current head of Xuanyuan's descendants.
"I'm very close to the Xuanyuan family!" Fingertips gently brushed the delicate face, and Luo Ling pursed his lips unconsciously.
Throwing the Xuanyuan cold water that had been stored in the ice coffin into the spatial ring, Luo Ling opened the portal of the shadow plane and left the abyssal waterway. A few minutes later, it had already appeared near the mouth of the valley in Tianmen Canyon.
The sonic boom sound of the plane flying low in the sky, Luo Ling knew that it was likely that the company's aftermath troops had arrived. He ordered Nian Gu to act covertly and lurk in the dense forest outside the valley. At the same time, he abandoned the vine sea urchin in the shadow plane, and the person entered the stone cave containing the vine cocoon through the plane door.
"I'm back." With the communicator, Luo Ling called to the wives in the command car. Untangled the thorns wrapped around the car door.
It was already more than 21 o'clock in the evening of the second day, and from yesterday evening to now, the entire adventure had used up nearly 29 hours, during which there had been no contact with the three girls for 14 consecutive hours.
The car door opened, and behind the isolation light curtain were three girls who had been worried until they had not slept until they had been sleeping, their eyes were red, and they looked excited.
The magic energy ray dissociated, the demonization state was lifted, and the first thing to cross the light curtain with the body was to hug the three girls and kiss them deeply. The response from the three daughters was equally enthusiastic.
"It feels so good to be home!" Luo Ling kneaded Xing Juan's buttocks with one hand, and passed Xiaoqing's pressure with the other hand from the back, playing with her delicate breasts through the thin clothes, and her mouth hugged her little purple face in front and took a sip.
"Brother, what happened to you, why didn't you get in touch for more than ten hours, we were all worried to death."
"Brother, have you eaten again? Your favorite stew is still hot in the microwave. ”
"Look at you, I don't know how sorry I feel sorry for myself, I've just been tired for a day, and I'm still hairy."
……
Plain and full of caring words, vivid faces, warm and soft **...... Luo Ling felt that the feeling of being at home was completely different from that of digesting or sealing the harvest like a lone wolf after winning, and then finding a secluded and safe corner to lick and grind his claws. And when I can't see it, I feel a lot of relaxation when I see it, and this is the feeling that my family can give.
"I have taken on an extra responsibility, but I have also gained an extra share. It was only needed before, and it is still needed. Luo Ling likes this feeling of being needed from the bottom of his heart, which makes him feel that the meaning of his existence is higher than simply to survive, and it is very warm and beautiful.
Outside, not very far away, the forces of a certain company have begun to control the entrance of the cave, as well as a comprehensive search of the surrounding area, Luo Ling is a little worried about this, but he thinks that he has the obligation not to let his wives continue to worry, because he is back, he is a man.
