Section 80 Ambush (1)
Looking up, the sky was an endless gray, and time seemed to stand still here, and I could barely feel the flow of air except for my own breathing.
Dozens of low-level skeleton soldiers wandered aimlessly, looking at the situation that they had just awakened and did not know how to devour the soul fire of other people to strengthen themselves.
"Moon Shadow, is this the Underworld?" The little fish's body seemed to be larger again, and it looked curiously at the skeletons walking back and forth in the distance, and the silkworm baby also appeared to stand beside the moon shadow, and it was more interested in the jumping flames in the skull.
"Yes, although the strength of these skeletons is very poor, their soul fire is still very good, which is of great benefit to you." Moon Shadow said with a smile, her finger wrapped around a crystal clear silver thread, one end of which rose from time to time like a snake's head, as if to choose someone to eat.
"Here...... What else is there to praise other than these insignificant soul fires? ”
Xiao Yu'er didn't understand why Moon Shadow chose this place as a retreat place, this place was lifeless, but it was not a good place to cultivate.
"It is better to believe in the book than to have no book." Moon Shadow glanced at it and said, "Although it is lifeless here, it is the purest and most abundant Xuan Yin Qi in Taoists, and if you refine a batch of pure yin attribute magic weapons, it is the best magic weapon to resist the Heavenly Tribulation." ”
"So what to do now?" The skin of the small fish is so thick that it doesn't matter at all.
"You guys go hunting, I have free labor to build the altar, and when the refining begins, you can protect the Dharma for me." Lunaris waved them to their own devices.
"Undead Summoning!"
Summoning on the same plane was obviously faster, and the eight skeleton warriors signed by Moon Shadow quickly appeared in front of her.
Skeleton warriors are the most common creatures in the underworld...... That's right, it's living beings, just as the most common living beings in the earthly realm are human beings. In addition to the newly awakened skeletons, these skeleton warriors also have a hierarchy - Black Iron Skeleton, Bronze Skeleton, Silver Skeleton, and Gold Skeleton.
Moon Shadow hadn't paid any attention to them since signing them, and she rarely had to summon skeletons to fight, and the eight skeletons had now grown into bronze skeletons, and the soul fire in the skulls was a blue color.
"I need a mystical ...... Well, the place where death is most intense. ”
Moon Shadow sent the message straight over, and several skeletons gathered around, and the soul fire in the skulls began to flicker rapidly, as if communicating.
Skeletons also have meetings? Moon Shadow couldn't help but laugh.
Probably after the result of the discussion, an axe and spear skeleton that seemed to be the leader was pushed out, and after the soul fire was extinguished for a while, Moon Shadow got a message - in a valley near the Forest of Death, the death qi was the most abundant, but the path there was not very clear, and there would be many powerful undead warriors along the way, and it was even possible to encounter lord-level undead warriors.
"You lead the way!"
Moon Shadow thought for a moment, then gave instructions through mental fluctuations, and also sent a message to the little fish and the silkworm baby, telling them that they didn't have to come to the rendezvous.
************
Moon Shadow hid behind a massive rock, munching on a piece of roasted meat, and while the underworld could provide enough oxygen to feed the living, if bones were food.
It's close to the Forest of Death, and if you have a better eyesight, you can even see a shadow on the horizon in the distance.
A skeleton warrior sent a warning call: "A black knight is approaching. ”
From behind the rocks, a black knight on a corpse horse was walking this way, silver soul fire dancing in its eyes, it seemed to be patrolling its territory, walking extremely carefully.
The ranks of the undead warriors are divided according to black iron, bronze, silver, and gold, and above the gold level is the holy level.
The Black Knights are of a high rank among the undead warriors, they are more powerful than ordinary skeleton warriors, and their mounts are corpse horses with flesh, which are much higher than ordinary bone horses in terms of ride and strength.
The black knight wore a very good-looking knight's armor, a black two-handed broadsword hanging from the saddle of the corpse horse, and a black bayonet spear at the horizontal end of his hand.
Despite some hesitation, when Moon Shadow gave the order to attack, the eight skeletons rushed forward with their skulls stubborn.
The qualitative gap was definitely not something that could be made up by a slight trend in numbers alone, and the black knight saw that eight bronze-level skeletons dared to provoke it in front of him, so he angrily raised his bayonet gun and rushed forward.
The corpse horse also seemed to feel the Black Knight's wrath, and the horse's hooves slammed the ground, speeding up the charge
'Dang', the moment the bayonet and the axe came into contact, the axe skeleton flew out more than ten meters, and the axe gun in his hand flew far away, and the moment it came into contact with the ground, its bones made a crisp cracking sound.
However, the Black Knight's good fortune ended there, as it was busy parrying the attacks of the other seven skeleton warriors, when two blue sword lights fell from the sky, slashing its arms shoulder-to-shoulder.
One of the skeleton warriors swept the black knight off his horse with an axe and spear, while another grabbed the reins of the corpse horse.
The Black Knight struggled to sit up, one foot on its chest.
The living? The Black Knight recognized that the owner of the foot did not belong to its kind in the underworld.
It remembered that some of its companions had said that mages who practiced necromancy in the human realm often came here to capture the warriors of the underworld as their slaves and fight for them.
"Despicable!"
The Black Knight was not convinced, and although it did not know how to fight the living, it still sent out a strong mental fluctuation to express its anger.
Moon Shadow looked at the jumping soul fire in the black knight's eyes, and let out a spiritual fluctuation: "Surrender me, I will make you stronger!" ”
"No!" The Black Knight refused her request without hesitation.
"That'...... Rest in complete peace! ”
Moon Shadow sighed, the love silk on her finger pierced the silver soul fire in the black knight's eyes like a spirit snake, as the soul fire gradually dimmed, she could feel the love silk seem to make a pleasant sound, this treasure-level magic weapon will soon become a spirit weapon.
There is a completely different difference between spiritual weapons and magic weapons and treasure weapons - machine spirits, and there are usually three ways to produce machine spirits -
One is that the raw materials of special materials are used when refining magic weapons, and the instrument spirit produced after being nourished by the aura over time, this magic weapon is directly upgraded to an immortal weapon after the production of the magic weapon;
The second method is to directly extract the soul of the living to refine the magic weapon, if the soul being extracted is a cultivator, the grade and power of the magic weapon have been improved, however, this refining method is a taboo in the cultivation world, and even the people of the Demon Dao despise this kind of behavior;
The third method is what Moon Shadow is currently using, which gradually forms his own machine spirit by devouring the souls of enemies during battle.
