CHAPTER XII CHAPTER 75 THE ROAD OF LIFE
"Is the scent of sandalwood used to mask the smell emanating from the old man?"
Tian Hua's vision and the old man in front of him looked at each other, feeling a corpse aura from the other party's body, after all, Tian Hua inherited the mantle of the strongest zombie ancestor of the contemporary era - the general, in the zombie category, Tian Hua can be said to be the top and most perfect supreme zombie.
But in front of the current old man with sparse hair and a few corpse spots on his body, Tian Hua's highest-grade zombie body felt a sense of complete suppression of the same origin, and the other party brought Tian Hua instinctive suppression, absolute suppression at the level.
The smell of corpses smelled from the old man's body was different from the zombies he had seen in the corpse world, more purebred, more primary, and even more noble, even the first generation of zombie generals did not have such a source of corpse qi.
Tian Hua affirmed that the unknown old man in front of him was several levels different from the general.
"You may be seated."
There were two cups of tea on the sandalwood table, Tian Hua sat on the rattan chair opposite according to the old man's instructions, and the turbid tea leaves in front of him exuded the fragrance of Tian Hua, which was a little difficult to resist, although the energy of the body could be extracted infinitely from the void environment, but the demand for food still existed.
Tian Hua couldn't help but be tempted and drank the tea in front of him, the tea contained corpse qi and yin qi, and the fusion of the two made Tian Hua's body get a great source energy supplement, and the hunger that had been wandering in the void for ten years was completely replenished at this moment.
Looking at the brown tea leaves floating in the cloudy tea water, it seems to be made from dead leaves falling from the huge locust tree in front of the door.
"Gap ......" Tian Hua came to the old man through this series, although he has not yet had in-depth contact with this person, but a gap in the inner level is really perceived by Tian Hua, pulling on the void core of his own condensation, I am afraid that he will be completely destroyed by the other party step by step under the fight with the old man.
"Are old-timers zombies too?"
Tian Hua showed a somewhat hypocritical smile and talked to the old man in front of him like a junior.
"Zombies? What is the contemporary saying about your corpse that has no soul and acts on the body? It's a ridiculous word. ”
The old man in front of him also spoke the language of Huaxia. His mouth was full of disdain for zombies, and at the same time he said to Tian Hua:
"If you were a zombie or a creature, I wouldn't summon you. Remember that you are not a zombie, and if you can control the yin qi, it means that you are the same as the old man, and belong to the '犼'. ”
"Huh?" Tian Hua had heard such a term for the first time.
"The zombie in your mouth is nothing more than a way to make creatures that the old man thought of when he was bored, breaking the branches of my "Ancient Yin Locust Tree", and then fusing with a certain amount of my skin to create it. He has the will to be fearless of death. Artifact-hard skin and the ability to infect creatures, but weaknesses are also exposed. ”
"Without a soul as a core, there is almost no self-healing ability. The thinking ability is simple, and there are not too many means of warfare. The talent is so poor that it is not at all comparable to human potential. Therefore, I did not continue to make this group of useless things, and when I wanted to recycle them, one of them ran away and left, and I remember giving him the name 'General' at that time, you can see? ”
The old man's remarks in front of him shocked Tian Hua's heart, but he didn't expect that the contemporary zombies were actually created by this person. Together with the generals, they were just waste in the hands of the old people at that time.
"Unfortunately, I have a relationship with the general, this person is dead, and his body has been absorbed by me."
"Well...... No wonder I feel a little familiar aura in your body, the generals are also made from the stumps of my "Ancient Yin Locust Tree", and some other low-level zombies derived from the generals will reduce the essence of your 'spur' if they are absorbed by you. ”
"I understand, in Shimoda. It should be the same as the old-timers, they are all Chinese, I don't know the names of the old-timers? ”
"Pheasant, since I was born, I have rarely seen the birth of a 'pheasant' like me. Although you are a junior. But there are people of the same kind, and if you need help, you can come to me. ”
The old man showed his friendliness to Tianhua. The latter saw some clues in this. Tian Hua is doing a lot of calculations in his mind, ensuring that every word and pronunciation that he makes up each sentence can achieve the effect of leading the development of subsequent things.
"Let's tell you the truth, Pheasant Senpai! Actually, I'm in a pretty bad situation......"
Tian Hua told the original pheasant in front of him all about the current situation of having to kill one of the ten necromancers, but when the latter heard this, a sad smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"I don't know if the original pheasant seniors can help me, but I want to collect the information of ten necromancers to pick out the one I am most likely to defeat. Seniors as one of the necromancers. You should know something about other people, right? ”
The original pheasant in front of him stared at Tian Hua, who was eager to survive, and showed a rather sad expression:
"Ten necromancers, let's be honest. There's not a single person in this you could possibly kill, and you're not much different from the garbage at the moment. I don't dare to be called the strongest among these ten people, and I can't be sure that an old guy like the Eastern Emperor will defeat him. Even if you know the news of these ten people, it won't help at all. Azathoth just wants you to die......"
"You want to survive, don't you?" The original pheasant suddenly leaned his head, which did not have a few hairs, closer to Tian Hua and asked.
"Yes, I want to survive! Is there any way for the original pheasant seniors to let me survive? Tian Hua stared at the original pheasant opposite with wide eyes, with an expression of extreme fear of death.
"It's not all surviving, and I have a way you don't die as completely as you did in the hands of Azathoth. To be honest, it's rare to see someone like me. It's a pity that your development is not complete, and the necromancy here makes you challenge only to find death. I'll give you a 'way to live', do you want to hear about it? ”
An unnatural smile appeared on the face of the pheasant.
"Senior, please!" Tian Hua showed an expression of greed for life and fear of death, and eagerly pleaded with the old man in front of him.
"Don't play tricks on me, let me see what you really think......"
Suddenly, the original pheasant, who had expressed kindness to Tianhua, pinched the top of Tianhua's head with five fingers, and the dark brown root tips pierced Tianhua's scalp, as if reading Tianhua's true thoughts and brain activity.
Nearly five minutes passed, and the pheasant withdrew his palm and sat back in his original position with a smile.
"It seems that you really need my help, in that case, come with me, the tea you drank when you entered the door just now is already changing the physical state of your body, don't resist or you will lose your chance to live."
When the pheasant tried to stand up, Tian Hua clearly saw a large number of roots connected to the soles of the pheasant's feet, just as he had perceived before, the roots of the huge locust tree growing in the courtyard were connected to a powerful subject.
'Crunch, squeak! ’
The roots of the trees interspersed with the flesh of the soles of the feet are quite difficult to separate, so it seems that the original pheasant has been sitting motionless in the room for a long time, and now because of the arrival of Tian Hua, a "special individual", the original pheasant is seriously "waiting to be seen".
"Come with me, get down from here."
The original pheasant walked in the center of the room and attached his palm to the floor, and soon the wooden board corrupted and withered and broke a round hole leading to the lower space, escaping from the inside Tian Hua's unimaginable corpse qi, staring at the inside of the round hole, there was a sense of death lingering in Tian Hua's heart.
However, now that it has come to this point, Tian Hua's inner thoughts seem quite resolute.
Without any hesitation, the Follower Pheasant leaped from the corroded hole to the lower end.
"Here it is!"
The space below is not very large, and it is also an artificially expanded space, but what is displayed in front of Tian Hua's eyes is the real root tissue of the huge locust tree in front of the courtyard gate, and every wisp of root tendrils extends to this turbulent cave, absorbing the essence of the corpse here as if it has life.
"These corpses were collected by the bodies of relatively strong people during my invasion of the western region and used as nourishment for my 'Ancient Yin Locust Tree'. However, my "Ancient Locust Tree" is quite a picky eater, and I am not satisfied with the nutrients I have collected. It wants to absorb corpses like mine, and my Ancient Locust Tree is the key to your survival. ”
The consciousness of the original pheasant has been expressed quite clearly, and Tianhua, as an equally rare 'calf', is an excellent nourishment for the "ancient yin locust tree".
"If I am absorbed as nourishment, I will also die, right?" Tian Hua asked rhetorically.
"It's not as bad as you think, in the process of being squeezed, your physical body will undoubtedly be absorbed as nourishment, but you don't need soul support, you can rely on consciousness to survive. My "Ancient Locust Tree" is very inclusive, and it will be very kind to your consciousness and will coexist and grow with it. ”
"So you're going to 'survive' in this way, how? I didn't lie to you, did I? ”
The original pheasant showed an evil smile, and at the same time, the opening leading to the room above was slowly closed, and the current Tianhua had no way out at all.
"Former Pheasant Senior, are you sure this tree will contain my consciousness?"
"Haha, of course! If you look at these corpses, they are absorbed as nutrients and have a residual consciousness absorbed into the trunk of the tree. And if your body as a 'calculus' is available to my Ancient Yin Locust Tree, she will be quite happy to retain all of your consciousness, but only if you don't have any thoughts of rebellion. ”
"Okay...... I am willing to survive in this way, and I thank the predecessor of the original pheasant for giving me the 'way to live'. ”
Tian Hua walked past the original pheasant, walking towards the root tissue step by step, and the root section that was absorbing the corpse seemed to smell an incomparably delicious aroma of meat and squeezed it all towards Tian Hua's body. (To be continued.) )
