Chapter 19: Assault on the Temple
"Boy, although these bone-mounted corpse soldiers only have a qualitative level in terms of the corpse soul power level, they can still increase the level of your steam core that turns into your right arm, which shows that the training and evolution of the steam core when you are a human is far from enough. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info is really thanks to your luck, you can be picked up by Lord White Night for transformation if you fall into a mess of meat sauce on the battlefield. ”
Poison and Shainin were already one and the same at the moment, and feeling that Shaining's core level was only absorbing the corpse qi transformed by the bone corpse for this kind of guarding purpose, he couldn't help but taunt Xie Ning sharply.
But Shainin was not shaken by the poisonous taunt, because he knew very well in his heart that his training of the steam core over the years was one of the best if not the hardest in the Iron Wolf team.
Since surviving the harvest day on the day of the invasion of the corpse, Shainin has not been able to suffer a day without being tormented. The unforgivable mistake he made in order to survive at the beginning, even after many years, will still sneak into the deepest part of Shainin's heart when he falls asleep and repeat the attack again, turning into a nightmare like a maggot on the tarsal bone and haunting Shainin.
In order to avenge the corpse slaughter of the human race, and also to atone for the sins he committed on the harvest day, Shainin focused on exercising his core driving ability all the time after becoming a mechanical warrior with a steam core, so that his steam core could withstand a greater degree of overload and reach a higher level. Sometimes, when Shainin woke up from that nightmare, he would drive the steam core workout in the middle of the night until his entire arm was red and hot from the core heat.
It's just that compared to exercise, absorbing corpse qi is the way to significantly improve the core class. In addition to the low-grade corpse qi that the Terran Imperial government originally obliged to distribute to every civilian, the only way to obtain a larger amount of corpse qi was to rely on the power in the hands of individuals.
As for the army that Xie Ning was in, it relied on the combat exploits of each soldier to allocate the corpse qi quota in turn. This also strictly requires that even if a soldier encounters a corpse that has vaporized due to high temperature on the battlefield, even if it is destroyed by his own hands, he cannot stop and stop absorbing the corpse gas, otherwise such unauthorized absorption of corpse gas will be recorded as a violation of the army's iron rules and will be executed immediately.
The corpse qi content distributed by relying on military merits is extremely low and impure, even a soldier like Xie Ning who fought the front line on the battlefield has only improved his core level to the lowest level after a few years of military career. Only captains and generals with a certain position of power can exchange the largest share and the highest purity of corpse qi by virtue of their military merits.
The corpse qi obtained from the huge amount of corpses processed at high temperature after cleaning up the battlefield is often controlled by the imperial government that symbolizes the supreme authority of the emperor in the Terran and the big families distributed in the various capitals of the Terrans, which makes it very difficult for civilians to rely on their own efforts to improve the level of the steam core.
For Xie Ning, the combined weight of the corpse qi transformed by the dozens of white bone corpse soldiers destroyed in the first battle just now can be said to exceed the sum of the corpse qi he has exchanged for merit in the army over the years, and the purity is also greatly improved compared to the corpse qi distributed, and it can be said that it is expected to help his core level to be raised to a higher level.
With his feet slamming to the ground, Xie Ning leaned down and rushed towards the entrance of the temple, which was as black as a monster's mouthpiece.
As a soldier who has fought against the corpse spirit many times, Xie Ning has gathered his pity for those broken bone corpses, but no matter what, the yellow-clothed corpse spirit who killed his compatriots and transformed them into monster bone corpses must die!
Rushing into the dark temple, there were small candles hanging from the pillars supporting the temple, and with the help of this faint candlelight, the first thing that caught Xie Ning's eyes was a huge stone statue standing in the darkness.
The statue looked like a human in appearance, but the head of the humanoid statue was surprisingly large compared to normal human proportions. Moreover, the brain in the skull seems to have broken through the limitations of the head, and the top of the idol's head is bare and turned out, and the whole body looks as if the brain in the skull of the idol grows on the outside of the head.
The face of this idol is as terrifying as if it has been peeled off, and the eyelids above the eyes are even firmly stitched together, making the face of this idol look terrifying in the dark temple.
As for the body of the idol, it is no different from a normal human, except that two huge bat wings grow on the back of the body, which are tucked forward from the back like a cloak and cover the whole body.
In front of this idol is a triangular altar. On each of the altar's triangles stretched out a thin skeleton like a curved spike, holding a giant egg that glowed green in the darkness to the altar. And the yellow-robed corpse was kneeling in front of the idol, and the words in his mouth seemed to worship the huge idol.
Due to the barrier on the exterior of this temple to prevent external voices from disturbing, the dwarf corpse spirit who was carrying out the worship ritual did not notice that all the skeleton guards left outside had been destroyed, and he couldn't help but be surprised to hear the footsteps of Xie Ning rushing into the temple.
"You guy, you're an intruder! No, no, the aura from your body is obviously the breath of a corpse! How could a corpse get in here!!" a stunned old voice came from the short yellow-clothed body.
Xie Ning didn't say anything about the yellow-clothed corpse that was still in a state of blindfolding, and he just wanted to kill these alien corpses who used the human race as puppets to play with! Even the white night that brought him back from the dead, if he didn't control his lifeline now, even if this life was saved by him, Shainin believed that he would not hesitate to kill it. For the corpse spirit, Shainin only has infinite hatred in his heart!
The steam erupted from his right arm, and Shainin's razor claw had turned into a jet arc of light, dragging Shainin's entire body and flying towards the yellow-clothed corpse spirit who still didn't understand the situation.
Although the Yellow Cloak Corpse Spirit did not understand why a corpse appeared in this corpse spirit holy land, it could also see the killing intent contained in this invading corpse. The short body rolled up from the ground with a yellow cloak, and at the same time, two thin and yellowed arms poked out of the cloak and aimed their palms at Xie Ning, and the two yellow palms cracked a circular gap from the palm of the hand the moment they poked out of the cloak, and there was no flesh and blood in the gap, as if it was a bottomless pit.
Xie Ning couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart when he saw the round gap like a bottomless pit in the dwarf corpse's yellow palm, and the warrior's instinct reminded him that there must be something strange about this palm opening. But his black iron right arm had already suddenly spewed steam, dragging Xie Ning's entire body in front of the yellow-clothed corpse spirit, and it was really impossible to do something to evade defense. Xie Ning simply turned his heart sideways, drove his core arm further, and the whole person turned into a white steam whirlwind and rushed towards the yellow-clothed corpse spirit.
