Chapter Ninety-Three: Above the General's Rank!
Are you kidding!
I used ten traces of second-order demonic energy, but this ancient book in exchange for it said that it was a broken book! This made Zhou Hao's eyes feel black in an instant!
"Are you kidding?!" Zhou Hao's eyes lit up, staring at the ancient book in his hand.
"Nope. In my old master's mind, it is absolutely impossible to say that it is a treasure. At most, it can be regarded as a book used by the old master to record some trivial matters. Gu Shu sighed, "Besides, if you want to be angry, you shouldn't be angry at me." Actually, I was already a youkai when you entered the first trace of demonic energy, so all the remaining demonic energy you had was infused into the fetish. It's just that at that time, I thought that your target was a fetish, so I didn't speak, who knows......"
"In short, your ten traces of second-order demonic qi may seem a lot to you, but in front of the gods, you can't even turn a wave!"
"You mean that the artifact in your mouth is in your hands?" Zhou Hao frowned, extracting such a message from his words, thinking about it, this thought suddenly suppressed Fang Cai's insecurity.
From the mouth of this ancient book, he could know that this artifact should be a very powerful treasure, and if he could get it, it would unintentionally bring great help to himself!
"No, I'm just dependent on it. I was just a very ordinary book, and without it I would have rotted into a pile of mud. Gu Shu's tone at this moment was a little embarrassed, sighed, and said, "I can tell you very clearly that that divine object has been fused with me by my old master's magical powers. I thought I could hide the time from everyone, but I didn't expect that the people who are destined are the ones who are destined after all......"
"It's just that your strength is not enough now, and you can even die if you touch it. Hopefully, you won't be impulsive because of greed. ”
"Really?" Zhou Hao nodded thoughtfully, and then couldn't help but have a hint of curiosity in his eyes, "So, what is that artifact!" What are the benefits? ”
"It's complicated." Gu Shu seemed to groan slightly, and only then did he speak, "But in general, it can improve your strength." Furthermore, it largely improves! ”
Hearing this, Zhou Hao's eyes suddenly lit up, and he subconsciously wanted to ask how to use it, and then, as if the ancient book had eyes, he immediately said, "Don't think about it." Your current strength is too weak, and it will be possible to use it when you will become a master. Because, the greater the benefit, the greater the corresponding price! And right now, you can't afford to pay that price. ”
“…… Well. Zhou Hao finally decided to listen to what it had to say. In any case, the youkai it summons is unlikely to harm itself, even if it doesn't like it - it's an invisible form of contract. So there's always nothing wrong with listening to it!
"Then tonight's ten traces of second-order demonic qi are still in vain after all!" Although the demonic energy is sufficient now, Zhou Hao still can't help but feel a little painful.
"And what do you have in this book?" Zhou Hao felt that he still had to find something that could return to his roots, so his eyes fell back on the ancient book.
Of course, the words on the ancient book are clear to themselves, and Zhou Hao and his telepathy can allow them to understand each other's meaning without saying a word, which can be regarded as a very convenient way to translate.
"Are there any martial arts moves, and martial arts cheats or something!" Zhou Hao asked seriously.
"As far as I know, there's nothing of value." Gu Shu thought for a moment and replied, "There is no such thing as what you said. All that is recorded in this book is the miscellaneous essays of some old masters. ”
"......" Zhou Hao's face suddenly swelled up with a little disappointment, knowing that his idea of wanting to recover from the other party was in vain. But disappointment is disappointment, he can't just throw this book away, after all, there is still a divine object hidden in it.
"Anyway, it's still a long time before dawn, so you can slowly tell me what you have recorded in it." Zhou Hao extinguished the candle and said to the ancient book.
After that, he leaned his back on the thick trunk of a tree behind him, closed his eyes and listened carefully to everything that the ancient books said.
After all, for him, it was surprising that the ancients in the past could also have the strength of a general.
"Okay." The ancient book answered, and began to explain the content of the ancient book to Zhou Hao, after all, these things are not a big deal in its opinion.
Under the narration of the vicissitudes of the ancient book, Zhou Hao finally gradually learned about the life experience of the original owner.
The original owner was actually from ancient times!
The ancient period was a period hundreds of thousands of years ago, or even millions of years ago. Recently, with the rapid development of technology, humans have gradually realized that they do not seem to be the only masters of this world.
In addition to those dinosaurs, it seems that another group of human beings who are different from themselves, or human ancestors, have also developed to a peak! But unlike today's pinnacle of science and technology, human beings at that time seemed to have developed to the terrifying point of shattering mountains and rivers with one punch and picking up stars with one palm!
These have been found in some archaeological fossils, the most famous is a giant skeleton found in Hailong Province in 97, the crystal clear, jade-like smooth skeleton, so that the people present even wonder if this is a carved ornament of the ancients!
Then, even more frighteningly, this skeleton - they couldn't move it!
No matter how much manpower and material resources are dispatched, this skeleton is nothing more than a three-story tall giant, but it does not move at all! It was like a Mount Tai, standing on the plain, which made the faces of the archaeologists who dealt with this matter turn pale!
This was reported at the time, but it caused a sensation in Hailong Province at that time, and countless people rushed to see the skeleton, even at the expense of paying the "admission fee"!
If it weren't for Zhou Hao who was still in middle school at that time, I'm afraid he would have wanted to find out!
But soon, the matter was put to rest, and for a few hours, no relevant information was found in any media magazine. According to some folk rumors at the time, the state sent a certain special force, or a certain special ability team, to take away the skeleton.
Since the beginning of historical records, similar things have happened at least ten times, big or small, or only a dozen times when the relevant departments had no time to deal with them and let the people see them.
However, a long, long time ago, there was such an era when human forces were developed, and it has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people! At that time, the highest peak of the people may be the "gods" that the people say by mouth today!
But Zhou Hao never expected that he and Liu Yao'er would really see the characters of that period so closely!
In the records of ancient books, the strength of the people in that period was by no means low, and even the third order can be seen everywhere, and there are definitely a lot of generals! To Zhou Hao's surprise, its original owner turned out to be a king-level master! But in another battle, he was unfortunately plotted by others, which led to a great decline in strength, and finally died in that remote cave due to his injuries.
But even if his strength later dropped greatly, and even reduced to the rank of general, his own king-level power still exists, and the aura of some king-level is enough to ensure that his body is immortal!
But when he heard the ancient book talk about the hierarchy above the generals, he was stunned.
"The general level is divided into three levels, and in turn there are spirit generals, yuan generals, and heavenly generals. And these could only be considered small roles at the time. ”
"And the king level, when you reach this level, you can also be counted as a small overlord at that time. But the king level is divided into two levels, Kaiyuan, and living beings! ”
"At that time, the old master had just broken through to the king-level open source realm, and his strength had not yet been stabilized, but he was chased and killed by the old enemy, which led to a great drop in strength......
"I'll you...... It turns out that there are so many Dao above the general level! Zhou Hao was dumbfounded when he heard this, he originally thought that above the third order was the general level, and above the general level was the king level, and then it was not the level he could understand at present.
Unexpectedly, it turned out that just from the general level to the king level, there were three hurdles in the middle! These three hurdles, how many talented people will accidentally trip on one of them today, and then they can't get up!
Just thinking about it like this, Zhou Hao couldn't help but feel a little excited in his heart! In such a world, he will have a sense of excitement when he breaks through!
"This world is really interesting!" Zhou Hao couldn't help but smile silently, his eyes were full of pride! It's just that a beautiful shadow flashed in his mind, and suddenly his thoughts, which were carried away by the blood, quickly settled down.
No, we'll wait until we find her. If you can't find her, what's the point of being strong!
"Hu ......" stabilized a slightly boiling mood, Zhou Hao refocused his gaze on the ancient book, "Okay, you can continue." ”
"Okay." When Gu Shu was about to speak, he seemed to remember something, and after a moment of silence, his voice suddenly became a little solemn, "The reason why the old master was hunted down and killed in the first place was also because of this artifact. Hopefully you can do it for yourself, and it's best not to let anyone else know! Otherwise, the consequences may be ......"
"Of course I know!" Zhou Hao nodded. It's like he hasn't told anyone about demonic things, he will never tell anyone about these major events about his own net worth and life!
After that, the ancient book continues to narrate. This book doesn't look thick, but it's rare that an ancient book can tell so much!
Maybe it also has its own experience in it! After all, it was a thing of that time itself. Zhou Hao thought so.
It's just that the thing that the ancient book talked about was the most insignificant thing in its own opinion, and it was like a thunderbolt across the clear sky in Zhou Hao's ears, which made people deafening!
By the way, this book also records a lot of Danfang that the old master studied and treasured at that time. I forgot to mention that the old master was also a good alchemist at that time, and he was often obsessed with alchemy. It's a pity that in the end, every Dan he researched could save his life...... Alas......" said, Gu Shu remembered the fate of the old master, and couldn't help but sigh leisurely, sighing.
It's just that it didn't notice that Zhou Hao beside it, hearing what it said, a pair of eyes suddenly surged with an unconcealable heat, his face was full of excitement, and his palms immediately clutched the ancient book tightly, as if he was afraid that it would escape!
"You mean, your old master is a refiner-dan-master?!"
