The silver moon had risen into the air, and in the light of the bright moonlight, thirty horse-shaped skeletons stood in front of Feng Longde and Caroline in three rows, like a cavalry honor guard under review.

Feng Longde looked haggard - yes, haggard from the heart, giving people the impression that this Teutonic man would soon wilt on the ground and could not get up.

The reason is this: in the previous few hours, Feng Longde continued to separate the soul fire, and then constantly replenished the soul energy through sleep, and then separated the soul fire, and then separated the soul fire, and in the cycle repeatedly, more and more independent soul fires came out.

This is simply a very painful thing for Feng Longde, every time he drains his soul, and then uses sleep to quickly restore the strength of his soul, this feeling is like eating and vomiting, and then eating and vomiting again, which is very uncomfortable.

And this kind of situation of going back and forth between the two states of deep sleep and wakefulness is even more tiring - to use a descriptive metaphor, it is the same as making you have to get up every ten minutes of sleep and do the second set of national middle school students' radio gymnastics "The Times is Calling" to continue sleeping for ten minutes, that feeling can no longer be sour, Feng Longde is now not confused, and his soul is tenacious

However, Feng Longde's soul is condensed step by step in this process of continuous hollowing out and then enrichment, it can be said that if there is some time of precipitation and abundant soul energy, Feng Longde's soul fire can be completely condensed into a more powerful soul heart.

At this time, Feng Longde sat on the side and nibbled on dry food to satisfy his hunger, and Caroline's work time was up: she needed to use the "muscle rejuvenation technique" in healing magic to make all horse-shaped skeletons grow fresh muscles, and could keep the muscles from decaying.

Horse-like skeletons are much faster than they were alive when they run, and have far more energy than they were alive, but they are unable to bear the weight of a heavily armed knight with only their skeletal structure, and their bones are exposed to wear and tear, making their survivability greatly reduced.

So Caroline took a fresh piece from the pile of corpses, pressed it on one of the horse-shaped skeletons, and chanted an obscure incantation.

The muscles wriggled wildly under the spell, stretching down the bones and throughout the body, then spreading into the skeleton, covering the entire skeleton of the horse-shaped skeleton. After more than ten minutes, the horse-shaped skeleton's whole body was covered with strong muscles.

The horse-shaped skeleton with a living body looks no different from when it was alive, it looks like a sturdy war horse, except for its eyes, which are dead and indifferent, just like the eyes of a dead corpse, and there is no trace of life in sight.

"This is the real undead warhorse," Caroline explained to Von Longde, "Skeleton horses or corpse witch horses are either easy to break or can't be fast, so they need to be transformed by this magic." Now the reincarnated undead war horses not only look exactly the same as when they were alive, but also after the reincarnation of the undead war horses, their various abilities have increased compared to when they were alive, such as weight and speed have been greatly improved, and they are more suitable for combat and long-distance running. ”

Feng Longde nodded, if the remaining sixty or so horse bones were also resurrected, then the knights of the Guards could completely transform into heavy cavalry. However, now Feng Longde didn't have the energy to continue to reincarnate, so he stuffed the remaining bones into the space ring, preparing to talk about it later.

After spending a while waiting for Caroline to put on the bodies of the horse-shaped skeletons, Feng Longde and Caroline also took their war horses and rode them, leading the undead war horses back.

According to Caroline's guidance, all the undead warhorses were beaten into the soul oath by Feng Longde, so that he could command them like an arm, so all the undead warhorses obediently lined up in a neat line to follow behind, and would not run around or mess around on their own.

The only thing that needs to be noted is that the two living war horses are very uncomfortable with this, and there are a large number of dead bodies of their own kind running around behind them, but this also increases the speed of the war horse in disguise - if a large living person is followed by a large group of zombies who have just crawled out of the grave, it is estimated that he will not be able to hurry up

Gensokyo at night was not peaceful, Feng Longde had already seen a lot of translucent ghosts disappearing on the side of the road along the way, and he didn't know if it was an illusion, he felt that the more ghosts appeared, as if the surroundings were colder.

For this reason, Feng Longde stopped once on the way and tried to touch one of the ghosts, and then found that his hand passed directly through the ghost's spirit body, and he also felt a burst of coldness.

"It's a ghost. Caroline looked at Feng Longde, who was rubbing his hands back on his horse, and explained in the soul connection: "It is a spirit that has no self-awareness, no intelligence, and is incomplete. Spirits that are complete and self-aware and intelligent are called undead, and they are superior undead creatures. A ghost like this is not aggressive in itself, and even if it is aggressive, the only means of attack is only howling in people's ears, as long as the will is firm, it will not be affected basically, and it will only feel a little noisy. ”

"Of course, if the soul strength of the ghosts is a little stronger, then they will become resentful spirits, and they will also howl in their ears, but the dry howl at that time was not so simple, but it became a soul scream, a kind of spiritual magic, and ordinary ordinary humans were affected by it and were directly frightened crazy, it was possible. Caroline pointed to the ghosts that were leaning on the trees and bushes, and they let out a terrible, faint howl, "There are evil spirits, fierce spirits, and fierce spirits above the resentful spirits, but no matter which one of them, they are all incomplete spirits, and they are all defective in intelligence and self-awareness. ”

At this moment, a ghost seemed to sense that someone was approaching, and it actually floated over from the grass on the side of the road, flying around the head of the war horse that Feng Longde was riding, and let out a scream from time to time.

Feng Longde and Caroline, as well as the war horses and immortal war horses under their crotches, all have surging vitality, in the eyes of ghosts, no less than a pile of bones jumping out of a large mass of fresh meat, very attractive; and whether it is Feng Longde's soul fire or Caroline's soul heart is very complete, even the strength of the soul fire of the immortal war horses is much higher than that of ghosts, and these unintelligent spirits instinctively will not recruit these things that are stronger than them.

But the two war horses are alive, and they don't have as powerful souls as the immortal war horses, so except for the war horse ghost under Caroline, who dare not touch it, the war horse under Feng Longde is targeted.

In this way, it is a miserable war horse, even if it was born in Gensokyo, it is estimated that it has never seen such a thing in its life. Feng Longde could clearly see the existence of the ghost through his soul, but the war horse himself could only see a vague shadow. As the ghost fluttered around it, the horse felt only shadows.

Looking at the war horse that had begun to tremble under him, Feng Longde frowned, and then looked at Caroline.

In the eyes of ordinary people, these spirits are just a blur of shadows, and the spirits are immune to physical attacks, even if they hold a long sword and axe, they can't hurt them in the slightest, but for some people who have mastered power, ghosts are very fragile, and a small fireball can burn them into nothingness.

Needless to say, Caroline casually threw a spell, and even Feng Longde himself only needed to light a torch, and then these ghosts would all be scum.

From the moment they entered the Void Mound, the two of them clearly felt that the aura of death here was a little higher than that of other areas in Gensokyo. The closer they got to the mound, the stronger the aura of death became, and in the shower in this rich aura of death, both of them felt very peaceful.

These death breaths are all emitted by the large number of corpses piled up in the Void Tomb, because it is in a closed space, there is not much air flow, so it accumulates, even if the sun's light will annihilate most of the death breath, the death breath here is still thick and abnormal, and even attracts ghosts wandering in other places.

For an existence like Caroline, all spirits should be considered a type of soul energy.

Caroline sucked hard, and the ghost hovering over the horse's head was immediately sucked away, and then disappeared into Caroline's cherry mouth.

The other ghosts who were still wandering around and did not come up suddenly dispersed like a fire on their buttocks, and gradually disappeared into the woods.

Feng Longde did the same, hurriedly dismounted and found a ghost that had not had time to run away, and sucked hard after approaching.

Boom, extreme anger, the moment Feng Longde swallowed the ghost, a volcanic eruption of anger suddenly filled his entire soul, making his heart swell with an urge to destroy everything.

Directly in front of him was only Caroline on horseback, and the inner impulse constantly roared in his soul: "Destroy her, kill her, eat her"

The anger came so suddenly and intensely that Feng Longde instinctively followed his inner impulse, drew his sword and battle axe from his waist and walked towards Caroline.

But after walking out a few steps, Feng Longde suddenly stood still, stood still for a while, and then slowly put his weapon back.

Von rond came to his senses, and he controlled the anger in his heart, as he found that he had no reason to be angry with Caroline.

This time, the anger came so suddenly and intensely that it stunned Feng Longde's mind for a while, but the calmness he had cultivated for a long time quickly woke him up.

You can't be angry for no reason, so what is it that makes you so out of shape?

"It's a ghost," Caroline's voice rang out, and a pair of small hands wearing plate armor gloves gently patted Feng Longde's shoulder, "This incomplete spirit will retain one or two residual emotions from his life. Because only one or two emotions are retained, and there is no suppression of opposing emotions, this single emotion becomes more and more extreme and intense. As you devour the ghost, you also suck this extreme emotion into your soul, and you will be overwhelmed by it. ”

"Thank you, Caroline. After Feng Longde figured out the reason, he breathed a sigh of relief and sincerely thanked Caroline.

The unknown is the most worrying, and if you have such a strong emotion for no reason, then you need to worry.

If you find the right cause, you can find a solution, and at most, you won't devour ghosts in the future.

Thinking about it carefully, Feng Longde knew that he was careless: Caroline had already said that devouring the soul was a very dangerous thing, and it was very easy to cause the soul to backlash, and the situation just now was a kind of soul backlash. However, the souls of those soldiers that he had devoured on the Seven Star Mountain did not have any backlash, so this time he relaxed his vigilance, he didn't expect the soul backlash to come so strongly.

If it weren't for Feng Longde's own calm and cautious handling of his own calm character, he would have come to his senses so quickly. If it is some negative feelings that he already has, and then slowly amplify, and finally subtly affect him, maybe he will not be able to realize that he is being affected by something else.

That's where the danger of soul revolt lies.

Feng Longde has never been a person who likes to do things rashly, the danger of devouring ghosts is far beyond his imagination, so he will not take such a risk, and he can still come to the Tomb without a chance, as long as there is enough time, he will continue to harvest soul energy, until the breath of death in the Tomb of Nothing becomes thin, there is no need to take this risk to obtain soul energy.

Caroline was because her soul was strong enough, and she also knew what the consequences of devouring a ghost would be, so this backlash would be ignored, but Feng Longde's own soul was still some distance away from the soul heart, and he was still inexperienced, so he almost didn't fall into the gutter this time.

When their souls become stronger in the future, these ghosts will only be used as food, maybe those guard knights can come to eliminate these ghosts? Their soul strength is also higher than Feng Longde's, and they should have the experience of dealing with the backlash when the soul devours.

After saying nothing, Feng Longde and Caroline followed the road back to the Enchanted Forest, and the horses were so tired that they had to rest for a while.

Originally, Feng Longde also wanted to find Margot Loyd's mansion where the puppeteer Alice lived or the fog and rain magic shop where Marisa lived in the Enchanted Forest. However, in view of the fact that it was getting late, and that he had never seen them at all and did not want to die, Feng Longde still honestly found a clearing in the forest, cleared some obstacles, and set up a tent with Caroline.

After eating the lightly processed dried meat and bread, accompanied by the sound of various animals in the enchanted forest outside the tent and the sound of the wind blowing through the branches, Feng Longde, who had been physically and mentally exhausted all day, fell asleep and immediately began to snore.

He was so tired.
