Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Ice Corpse Rebellion
Crimson diamond, the rarest variety of diamonds, it is not an exaggeration to call it the crimson grade in the diamond, it used to only have very little output in the depths of the Cangyan country, I don't want to dig out the thirty-three layers of the underground in the Xiao family, I can find a large number of crimson diamonds, look at its environmental conditions to know that its quality is extraordinary, it can actually surface in the magma and maintain a dazzling luster. You must know that the crimson diamond was a necessary material for building top-notch equipment in the past, but with the end of the crimson powerhouse, no one can use this kind of equipment anymore, so as a collection, the value of the crimson diamond has risen to a new level, and the Xiao family plans to secretly mine the thirty-three layers of the underground, and it is only a matter of time before the financial resources surpass the Su family.
But the problem is that the crimson diamond was pushed to the opposite bank by the hot magma, and it was not easy to retrieve one or two through the rock flow, and when he first discovered this place, there was an ice mage with his own ice shield who tried to walk over, not wanting to be quickly evaporated by the heat above the magma, and the steam scalded him and fell into the rolling red rock. What's even more bizarre is that Xiao Xiangxue, a first-class master of the Xiao family and one of the Four Saints of Ice, manipulated the phantom beast to retrieve the crimson diamond, and the ice phantom beast became nothingness before it flew halfway. With her strength, as long as she summons an ice shield, even if she steps on the magma, there is no problem, but this magma can easily dissolve her ice magic, fortunately, she left a hand at that time and did not ride on the phantom beast, otherwise this snow country may be one less saint in an instant.
"There won't be any magic sealing stones here, right?" Qin Mo suddenly asked, for him who had been imprisoned, the magic sealing stones were not unfamiliar, and the Su family bunker also had a high-grade sealing magic stone.
Xiao Luo's eyes lit up, Qin Mo's words reminded him, but after thinking for a moment, he denied Qin Mo: "No, the Xiao family once picked up a scarlet diamond, and it is still stored in my father's place, I heard him say that he still uses light magic to control zombies in the past, but this time he has to scrap a large number of zombies, besides, who else in the world today can refine the magic stone that suppresses the spiritual power of the four saints?"
"The president of the World Magic Guild, the moon mage Yucas. Qin Mo blurted out.
Xiao Luo was stunned for a moment, thinking that Qin Mo still knew a lot, and then asked, "How can you explain that light magic can be cast?"
Qin Mo also fell into deep thought, this is a question, why can't ice magic be cast? What if it is fire magic? There is no fire magician in the Youxue Country, is it feasible if you haven't tried it, but I heard Xiao Luo say that light magic can also be used, is there a magic stone that specializes in ice magic?
Qin Mo told Xiao Luo about this idea, and Xiao Luo said that there is also this kind of restrictive magic sealing stone, this kind of sealing magic stone can be refined by the mage level, and it can only be refined by one order at most, that is to say, the fourth-order mage can barely refine the fifth-order restricted sealing magic stone, which can seal the magic of one attribute, but the question is, what is the use of this kind of sealing magic stone, can't it still be achieved through other mages?
"Okay, don't think about it, let's save some brains and analyze the case. For this question, Xiao Luo finally decided to give up.
Xiao Luo pointed to the few ugly zombies who were fined and said, there are a few zombies here who are light magicians on this floor, in a mining mission, they didn't come out for a long time after entering this door, when the person in charge opened the door, there was only a group of zombies left in the door, so he was so shocked that he quickly closed the stone door, in order not to destroy the scene, he did not destroy this group of zombies, but built a barrier on the stone steps, so that they would not rush out when the door was opened.
"Those ice corpses are harmless, even if they become zombies that can move, they can only rely on scratching and biting, and they can't get close to the body of the light magician at all, Brother Qin Mo, look at what the hell is going on?"
Speaking of zombies, Qin Mo has also heard of them, they are all transmitted by being infected with corpse poison, and they have become an undead creature that has no sense of pain, even if they use fire to burn it and ice to crush it, they will not feel pain, only the light magic that is compatible with this dark creature can affect its nerves and manipulate it to act as required, which is a bit like the restraint of the Monkey King by the Tight Spell. So the question is, if the light mage can perform magic here, why do they become zombies?
"How many ice corpses were there when it was mined, and how many light mages were there?" Qin Mo asked the person in charge of this layer.
"Working on this level requires a large number of ice corpses to retrieve the crimson diamonds on the other side, but we have enough light mages to ensure that we can control them without rioting. The person in charge explained.
"What's the matter with that white bone?" Xiao Luo said, pointing to a bare skeleton not far from the shore, "Zombies still eat people?"
"After a normal person is scratched and bitten by a zombie, the corpse poison will spread rapidly throughout the body with the blood, and finally become a zombie, this kind of flesh and blood will no longer be coveted by zombies, but if the toxin has not had time to spread, it will be eaten ......"
Xiao Luo planned to go down to take a look, after the persuasion of the person in charge was fruitless, he could only cast a spell to imprison those irascible zombies, for the person in charge of each layer, it was easy for one person to control multiple zombies, if he didn't have two brushes, how to prevent a bigger accident.
The three of them came to the skeleton, there was no trace of flesh and blood on it, it was really eaten cleanly, one of the hand bones may have fallen off when it was torn, and the wrist was already blackened, it wouldn't have started from the wrist first, right? The blazing magma made the three of them face red, but the ice shield was not so hot, but this ice shield was much weaker than just now, Qin Mo always felt that there was an ice sealing magic stone here, because the closer to the magma, the lighter the ice shield became.
I've never seen lava so closely, I've seen it on TV before, I can imagine the power that destroys everything through the screen, and today this magma is quietly undulating not far from my feet, and a few thick bubbles emerge from time to time, and I feel a little excited.
Just as the three of them were carefully observing the skeleton, a burst of white gas suddenly appeared around him, and Qin Mo found that his ice shield had broken! It seemed that a shot of magma had splattered out and hit the ice shield, so frightened that he hurriedly retreated a long way. Senior Xiao said that if the ice shield breaks, you must leave immediately.
"I understand!" Qin Mo shouted at the two people who were still on the shore, "Come here, let's go out first." ”
Xiao Luo and Giselle looked suspicious, and finally followed Qin Mo back to the stone gate.
"I think it's likely that when a mage was controlling a zombie, the magma inside splashed on his hand and he couldn't cast magic, because a light mage controlled multiple zombies, and now the control of these zombies has been lifted, so this balance is instantly broken. ”
After the fright of breaking the shield just now, Qin Mo seemed to remember something, it was a few months ago, Brad was also scalded by molten iron, making it impossible to cast spells, and finally died in Qin Mo's hands.
"In this way, it is easy to explain, this time thanks to Brother Qin Mo, I will be on a bad page in front of my father!" Xiao Luo looked happy, this time he could go back early, maybe his father would be happy to give him a few months off, and he would be able to go to Xiao Wei again.
In fact, Qin Mo also happened to experience some similar things, and happened to bump into the splashed magma, so he had a guess, but Xiao Luo didn't seem to care about the real process of this matter, as long as it could be explained in front of the high-level of the Xiao family, that is, to formulate some standard operating procedures and the like, it was nothing more than equipping some light magicians in a mining.
Leaving the hot cave and coming to the ice warehouse again, this time Qin Mo's mood was not so calm, now he knew that this was a phalanx of frozen dead people, and there might be some zombies in it that could move, so he wanted to run out immediately, but there were people in front and behind, and he was embarrassed to speed up. The person in charge of this layer drove the zombies in the stone gate at the back, planning to freeze them here, now that the matter is clear, there is no need to protect the scene, these zombies are not a small labor force, it is a pity to destroy them.
"I think you are against the laws of nature, and sooner or later you will be damned. Qin Mo pretended to be calm and joked.
Xiao Luo, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped, and looked at Qin Mo meaningfully: "It's a pity that the Xiao family is not up to me now." ”
Why did this person stop in this ice corpse array? Qin Mo secretly blamed himself for talking too much.
"Be careful!" Xiao Luo's face changed suddenly, and he flew towards Qin Mo.
Qin Mo knew that it was dangerous, but there was a stabbing pain in his neck in an instant, Xiao Luo's fist swung and banged, and the thing behind him was shattered.
"Ahh
"How did you control the corpse!" Xiao Luo yelled at the person in charge behind him, meaning that he didn't control the zombie properly.
"Second Young Master is wronged, I don't have more or less here, there have always been seven zombies. "The person in charge cast a spell to make the zombies raise their hands one by one, and it was indeed the seven bodies in the cave.
Xiao Luo was shocked, if the seven zombies were still under control, then the one who attacked Qin Mo must be in this ice warehouse, and when he looked sideways, the position next to Qin Mo was indeed much empty!
"Hurry, reinforce all the ice corpses here!" Xiao Luo said to Giselle.
"Second Young Master, I can't leave here, you go outside and call a few more ice mages to prevent the ice corpse from rioting. The person in charge said anxiously.
Xiao Luo dragged the bewildered Qin Mo out of the ice warehouse, and called a few mages to hurry in to check the freezing situation of all the ice corpses, including Giselle, it should be enough to deal with it. The top priority is to send Qin Mo up for treatment as soon as possible, otherwise this brother who has the grace to save his life will become a zombie.
"Auntie, Brother Qin, he was bitten by zombies!" Xiao Luo shouted as soon as he pushed open the door.
Xiao Juan almost bounced up from his seat, without the slightest appearance of old age and inconvenience, and wiped the blood stains on Qin Mo's neck with a clean rag, the two holes were clearly visible, and they were really bitten by zombies. She hurriedly pulled out a magic staff, and the peaceful white light shrouded Qin Mo's body, Qin Mo felt that it was a third-order light spiritual power, but he didn't expect that Old Senior Xiao was still a light magician.
"It's weird, why can't I feel a little toxin in his body?" Xiao Juan frowned, glanced at Xiao Luo, who was anxious beside him, and once again used magic to probe Qin Mo's whole body.
