Advent Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Oath
The lead-gray sky was full of dead silence, the air was filled with a faint gray smoke, the ground was rarely undulating, and a yellowed skeleton with half of its body was loosely inserted into the pile of bones on the ground, and the dense dry bones were spread in all directions until they disappeared under the gray skyline.
For a long time, this plane fragment that had been stripped from the main undead realm after experiencing the "war disaster" had maintained such a dead silence, and under the wash of time, it was even more difficult to find any life in the plane fragment that was already like a necrotic tumor.
It's the same scenery every day, it's the same change every day, it's repeated, it's the same time, it's really the same thing, but it's almost the same as it was at the beginning.
Finally came this day, on this unique day with no specific before and after time scale, the repetition was no longer repeated, and it was not just the landscape within the plane fragments that changed.
The first place to appear was the sky, where the thick clouds that had been going on all year round suddenly cracked, and howling winds swept through the clouds, and in the sky, a huge gray funnel-shaped vortex turned violently from top to bottom, gray lightning flashed inside it, and the rumbling sound shook the wasteland.
The huge clouds and wind swirled up the gray and white bones that had been deposited for countless years, and the huge force even penetrated deep into the ground at the bottom of the corpse, and the gray bone meal and fragmented bone ballast were either rolled up or lined up in all directions, and from a distance, it seemed as if an incomparably huge gray umbrella crown had been unfurled.
The huge wave carrying a huge amount of bone crushing ballast rushed outward with such a fierce momentum, and countless corpses and skeletons rose up with the huge wave of teeth and claws, and the waves of the sea of corpses and bones made people unforgettable.
And when the turmoil gradually subsided, the yellowed skeleton that was diagonally inserted on the ground with half of its body had disappeared, and two figures that were incompatible with this world suddenly appeared after the wind and fog dissipated......
The sky was gray, the air was gray, and everything as far as the eye could see was lifeless, with undulating mounds in the distance and gray-white dry bones beneath our feet.
The heavy sky of cumulus clouds seemed to carry heavy power, Ye Xiao looked around with his head up, the empty wilderness did not have a trace of vitality, and when his steps retreated, the withered bones were trampled to pieces.
"The Bone Wasteland, this is probably the realm of the undead. An unfamiliar male voice sounded behind Ye Xiao, and Ye Xiao, who heard this, also turned around and began to look at this mysterious man.
"Shall we ...... Are you still going out?" Ye Xiao was very calm, because he saw that the person opposite had a kind of stability that was assured.
"Of course, this stripped fragment of the plane simply can't bear the weight of life, and it won't be long before we're ostracized from here. The red-haired middle-aged man looked around and replied casually, and then, his gaze gradually became sharper, and his tone became serious and stern, he stared at Ye Xiao with deep eyes and asked, "Then now, can you tell me, my son, Mai Yi, where is he?!"
"I don't know. Ye Xiao looked at him without avoidance and said: "I don't know Mai Yi, let alone where he is now, all the alchemy I have practiced comes from this energy crystal." ”
Ye Xiao pulled out the necklace that connected the Recognition Crystal and the brass ring from under his neck, and secretly quietly put his other hand on the revolver at his waist.
However......
"Sure enough, my son...... You're so much more gifted than Dad. Angles Simão wept, trying to suppress his sadness, but he could not control the tears of sadness.
Ye Xiao lowered his guard, because he sincerely felt the sadness and irrepressible remorse of the person opposite.
"You have unlocked the first step in unlocking the family secret...... Maybe even all, Daddy really ...... for you" Angis Simão's tears mixed with snot flowed, and he choked back tears and smiled, "I'm so proud of you." ”
(The Crystal of Awareness was obviously a seal opened by me, why...... He, so to speak. By the way, such a large metal box is impossible to ignore with the ability of the Shadow Alliance, so this ring has a special function...... Or is it just a signpost key? I'm afraid...... )
Ye Xiao gently rubbed the brass ring, but he was thinking about whether this brass ring really had a storage function.
"You, saved me, so please swear!" The strange request made Ye Xiao a little overwhelmed, but the other party's next words made it difficult for Ye Xiao to control his emotions.
"Please swear by the soul fire of induction meditation that you are not involved in killing or harming my son, and in return I will tell you the solution to the Soul Rotting Poison, as well as ...... How to find the missing knowledge in the Recognition Crystal!" After Annes Simang said these words extremely seriously, Ye Xiao's eyes began to become sharp and serious.
After only being silent for less than half a minute, Ye Xiao raised his hand and raised three fingers, and the transparent soul flame spread out on his body, and at the same time, an unusually solemn and serious unique momentum seemed to fall from the sky and shrouded Ye Xiao's body, as if the law fell from the sky.
"I, Antes Simão. ”
"I, Ye Xiao. ”
"Hereby promise!"
"Swear to God!"
"If the person in front of me does not harm my son, I must inform him of the solution of the Soul Rotting Poison and the knowledge that is missing from the Crystal of Consciousness, if he violates this oath or cannot do what he says, he must be told ...... promise."
"There is no intention or act to harm or kill the son of the person in front of him, if there is any false ......"
"Death when you land, a thousand holes!"
"Forever trapped in this world, you can't survive!"
As soon as the overlapping sound fell, a heavy pressure suddenly pressed down from the top of the two people's heads, and a transparent firework flew out of Ye Xiao's body and floated towards the person opposite, while on the other side, a pale white light ball also gathered on the body of Antes Simang towards the top of his head, which also floated in the direction of Ye Xiao.
The transparent fireworks drilled into Angis Simang's forehead, and the pale white light was also aimed at Ye Xiao's heart and rushed into his chest.
The transparent wave of qi spread between the two of them the moment the oath ceremony was completed, and the breeze blew Annes Simao's red hair, and Ye Xiao also remained still when the breeze touched his body.
Then, silence......
Ye Xiao looked at the man opposite, his eyes were a little aggressive.
"That's not how this poison was used......" Annes Simão reached out to grab the gray mist around him, but the mist could not be grasped by a human hand, so that the mist seeped through his fingers several times when he clenched his fists.
"All along, the magicians of the Shadow League have a way to die with their enemies. Annes Simão pointed to his neck, and then said, "The effect of the Soul Rotting Poison is naturally much stronger than what you inject into things, but almost no one can survive using this poison, so no one will use it unless absolutely necessary." ”
"At first, I didn't understand it, but by this point, I probably knew how this poison was made, so combined with the experience of the magician who survived and became a waste, this world ...... There is only one thing that can solve your problem without any burden!" There was no intention of selling Guan Zi at all, and without delay, Annes Simão said the name of that thing under Ye Xiao's gradually serious eyes: "Soul Purification Sand." ”
