"It's nice to see a new visitor here after a thousand years," the crowd initially thought it was the brain suspended in the tank, but when they saw the pillar embedded in the base of the tank, they all realized where the voice from the depths of their hearts came from: "As Lord of the North Tower and the last Khedive of the Imasca Empire, I sincerely welcome you in Lower Shurek. ”

Quest quietly adds a psychic barrier to the crowd, and even worse, the steampunk half-lich imposes a "mechanical mind" on himself, all in case the pillar may disrupt the mind next. Although Quest believes that the members of his team are tenacious and not so easily seduced, he is always prepared.

Feeling the guardedness of everyone, Jingzhu's heart-to-heart communication revealed a proud tone: "Prudence is a virtue, but you don't have to. As the former owner of this place, I have long since disappeared into history. Except for this brain in the vat, I'm afraid the rest of my body has turned into a handful of loess. ”

"But after all, you were a powerful soul-binding mage a thousand years ago, and sometimes the dead mage is the real terrifying spellcaster," with the help of the psychic ability, the young blue dragon who turned into a human form also used the ability to communicate with his mind fluently: "Why are we here, I think this soul-binding crystal that has been stripped from your current crystal pillar body has already been told to you." ”

Quest's straightforward questioning obviously surprised the Soul Binding Crystal, who was used to long speeches. As if a human was thinking, the light on the crystal pillar flowed, and after a moment he replied, "Actually, this surprised me. According to the plan, the three soulbinding crystals that should fit the beast's body, beast heart, and beast nature are the hosts that come to me, as well as the crappy spellcasters who will be used as sacrifices for the reincarnation ritual. ”

The "outspokenness" of the Soul Binding Crystal body also surprised Quis. There are only two explanations for this situation: either the magic and strange artifact loaded with the knowledge and memories of the soul-binding mage from thousands of years ago is not intelligent, but this is obviously impossible, or it has other back-up hands, so that it does not need to fear himself and others going deep into the core of the North Tower.

"Things have changed, it looks like something has escaped the Thams' guard and infiltrated the corpse of the ancient brown dragon," the half-lich whispered beside Quest. Because he was going to come to the Tower of Soulbound to explore, the corpse of the ancient brown dragon Kusilian was buried on the spot by Quis before it was fully disposed of, and the Sashimite Elven tribe was ordered to guard it on his behalf. In addition to these two means, Quest also had Sneijder summon the "High Peeping Eye" as a warning. This spell is an upgraded version of "Eye Peeping", and also has the effect of "True Vision" to see through invisible targets. The "Centaur" who sneaked in secretly and stealthily did not escape the search of this eye.

......

Taking advantage of the effect of the additional spells on his body, the messengers of Nome City dug all the way from under the sand and stone to the corpse of the ancient brown dragon. Because of the remnants of the dragon's breath, not too many scavengers dared to disturb the death beast's sleep. Only a swarm of carrion flies like the Khedives would gather near the wounds of the dragon's corpses to devour carrion.

Although they can't help the dragon's tough muscles with their teeth, it's always good to lick some pus. The Khedive's ambitions were much greater than those of the rotting flies, and licking the pus of the flesh-eating residue could not satisfy this guy with a good appetite at this time. Since the Soul Binding Crystal had been integrated into Kusilian's body, he knew the beast body well. With his help, the Khedive didn't have to struggle with the scales and muscles of a giant dragon, as his whole body seemed to turn into a mass of liquid, quickly soaking into the corpse of the ancient brown dragon.

His first target was the liver, and the best target would have been the heart or brain, but these two organs, as the most valuable parts of the dragon's corpse, were taken care of and taken away by Quest, so he chose to target the liver of the brown dragon instead. "What are you worried about," the Soul Binding Crystal arrived and stood in the body of an unknown giant beast, and a trace of fear for his future appeared in the Khedive's heart: "Do you remember the battle of wits? ”

The words of the Soul Binding Crystal entered the Khedive's heart again, fear giving way to ambition, cowardice giving way to courage. He opened his mouth and nibbled on the dragon's internal organs with his teeth, which had become somewhat sharp.

At first, he thought he might vomit from the unbearable taste, but when he swallowed the first liver fragment, the Khedive suddenly felt that it tasted pretty good—a little rancid, but chewy and juicy. In his gulp, the young man, who had succumbed to the bestiality of his heart, had the time to think of something else: "Perhaps I look like one of those sand hyenas roaming the desert, and it is said that after they have successfully preded, they also take a big bite on the liver of their prey. ”

As the thought arose, the sand hyena eating scene in the Khedive's mind became clearer and clearer—the claws ripped open the skin on the surface of the liver, the snout-like mouth reached into it to nibble on the flesh inside, and the smell of blood on the tip of the nose seemed to add some spice to the feast of flesh and blood. A sand hyena in human form devoured the liver of the ancient brown dragon at great speed, and the monster began to re-examine its new appearance—upper and lower jaws, bulging muscles, and covered in sand hyena's speckled gray-brown fur.

"Whew......" was originally an exclamation, but when it came to his mouth, it turned into a wolf howl. Fortunately, the words of the Soul Binding Crystal appeared again in time: "What is beast nature, it is just the survival of the fittest. But when you need to turn back into a human, you will naturally be able to turn into your former body. It's just that you have a new problem to solve at this point—"

The Khedive looked in the direction that the Soul Binding Crystal had prompted in his mind, and a creepy figure tore through the ancient brown dragon's abdomen and burrowed in. The thing was more than seven feet tall, and at first glance it looked like a mouse-like structure, but its size was closer to that of a giant ape. Because of the cold and bright glow burning in its eye sockets, the white and curled legs were still clearly visible in the blood in the dragon's internal organs. The bone monster had four arms, each longer than its legs. Two arms stretched out the dragon's internal organs so that it could be kneaded forward, while the other two arms clenched into fists, revealing staggered spikes of canine teeth—dense bone spurs designed for slashing and stabbing, making it easy to kill and accomplish the tasks it was tasked with. Several small but jagged pieces of bone were stitched together to form the monster's demonic face.

"This is a white bone golem summoned from the corpse of a giant ape-looking Bagula demon, and the rich abyssal aura indicates that the raw materials used to make this creature are quite fresh. In other words, you may not be its opponent right now. The Soul Binding Crystal introduced in the Khedive's mind.

"Natural selection of the fittest survives, but in the nature of beasts, shouldn't there be the word trapped beasts?"
