Chapter 77: Mutation
In the era of the Great War of Immortals and Demons, there were countless immortal cultivators who died in the chaos of time and space of the demon clan, most of them had no bones, but there were also a few who left a whole corpse in the chaotic time and space, and these who could keep the whole corpse were not the great monks who enjoyed a good reputation on the Kyushu continent and had amazing magical powers, so it was also necessary to collect their corpses.
The class barriers in the immortal cultivation world are strict, even in times of war, people with noble status are more noble than untouchables when they die, and the immortal cultivators who risked their lives to go to the chaotic time and space to collect the corpses of the big people quickly summed up some rules.
First of all, the application of the demon race to time and space has reached the level of being like an arm, and the high-ranking demon general can make time staggered for a hundred years between raising his hands and feet, and time and space will be subverted for thousands of miles, just like breathing.
Therefore, they will never simply use temporal distortion to kill enemies - because they are not lethal enough. At that time, the high-level immortal cultivators had a considerable degree of resistance to simple space-time disorder, even if they were not familiar with the space-time realm, but if the cultivation realm was high enough, they would have a way to deal with it temporarily. The reason why those great monks were able to keep all the corpses in the chaotic time and space of the demon clan was mostly because they had extremely powerful talisman weapons on their bodies.
Therefore, when the demons attack, it must be time and space confusion accompanied by other killing moves, the most used of which is to kill the enemy with the help of the right time and place.
Even in the Kyushu era, the four words of heaven and place are not to be underestimated for human immortal cultivators. Even if you cultivate to the Heavenly Collapse Realm, there will be dangerous realms that are difficult to set foot into, such as the Nine Heavens Gangfeng Layer, or the Earth's Nuclear Magnetic Sphere. And the demon clan connects the technique of time and space confusion with these desperate situations, and can immediately form a lore technique, pulling the immortal cultivator to the Nine Heavens Gangfeng Layer, being tortured by the Gangfeng wind, and then trapping him with a chaotic space-time trap, and he can't get out of the trap for a hundred years or two hundred years.
And how long can an immortal cultivator last under this kind of torture? Not to mention one or two hundred years, if you can hold on for more than a year, most of them are mistakes made by the demons when they made a move. Then, most of these immortal cultivators would die without a corpse, and they would be wiped out on the spot. The few who relied on the protection of extremely powerful magic weapons and kept the whole corpse were mostly just whole corpses in their own shape, and the inside was already rotten, and they all relied on the residual power of the magic weapon to maintain their shape.
At this time, the most important thing for those who go to collect the corpses is how to preserve these fragile corpses in a sinister environment, after all, only the whole corpse can be exchanged for full payment. At the same time, most of the magic weapons attached to these corpses are also on the verge of falling apart, and they must be carefully cared for in order to be rescued and repaired for their own use.
During this period, if you are not careful, it will be like the black dust that Wang Jiu saw when he opened the hatch, and everything will be in ashes.
In fact, before Zhao Shenlu opened the door, the black powder still maintained the appearance of He Hongrui before his death, but it was stimulated by the shock when he opened the door, and the wreckage of his whole body immediately decayed and ashed, and it became unrecognizable dust in an instant.
Of course, the two of them also expected this, but they did not come to collect the corpses of their predecessors today, nor did they dig up treasures, but to find useful information from the ruins of the fleet and investigate the truth of the Netherworld, so he didn't care about the corpses of his predecessor, and even some of the corpses had to be dusted so that it was convenient for him to analyze the geographical characteristics of the Netherworld.
But the corpses of immortal cultivators can be left alone, but the corpses of the fleet must be properly preserved.
Because the cabins of these four ships must contain all the information that the expedition team struggled to death, according to the configuration of the expedition team, more than half of the team are academic monks who are good at observing and recording, so when they find themselves in a desperate situation and cannot get out of the predicament, they will definitely solve the problem of observing, analyzing, and deducing with all their might to find a way to survive.
Although they failed in terms of the results, the materials of this process are precious, whether it is the written materials left behind or the physical samples, they are the essence of these people's struggle to survive and struggle for a hundred years.
Although the cultivation level of this expedition group is not high, it is difficult to break free from the desperate situation with its own strength. But Wang Jiu did not despise the wisdom of these people, three hundred years ago, they were all carefully selected and selected by the Xiangzhou Continent, and they were all elites in ten thousand. The records they left behind must be of reference value.
The premise is that it has not been rashly destroyed by later generations.
This fleet has been in the Netherworld for a thousand years, and it has long been blown to rot by the sea breeze, and if it is only a little external force, it will completely collapse. Zhao Shenlu wiped his fingers on the deck slightly, and he was able to bring up a layer of silver frost, which just showed that the dark silver that built the hull had been completely corrupted. Xuanyin is still like this, and the information stored in the medium of rune paper, jade slips, etc., is naturally more fragile and precarious.
Fortunately, Wang Jiu and Zhao Shenlu are both extremely professional corpse pickers, and they are very skilled in how to preserve the wreckage in the chaotic time and space.
When the two of them entered the cabin, they were both on their feet, and there was no wind around them, and they moved themselves with wonderful magical powers, moving quietly like ghosts. In this way, there is no impact on the surrounding environment.
Among them, Wang Jiu's divine sword body has its own flying supernatural powers, which does not require wind power or gravity, and the trajectory is free and free, which is a natural supernatural power. Zhao Shenlu relied on a very complex set of compound immortal methods to maintain the suspension of the body without exerting any external force on the surroundings.
Seeing Zhao Shenlu suspended in the cabin, Wang Jiu couldn't help but sigh: "I haven't seen this set of moon hangings for a long time." ”
Zhao Shenlu smiled: "This is also the first time in my life to perform a complete moon suspension, according to the original intention of designing this set of immortal methods, it is at least necessary for the earth rift realm to operate freely, and now it is a big realm, but it is more smooth than expected...... Sure enough, the power of love is endless. ”
Wang Jiu pondered for a while and said: "Actually, because the stillness of this place is 2 times higher than the standard value, the release threshold of the moon suspension is also much lower, and you are also a veteran who has experienced the battlefield of life and death, don't be blindly optimistic about your strength." ”
Zhao Shenlu said: "Don't worry, dear, with you, I have never been optimistic, I was insensitive to you as early as the last life...... Ah, I saw a diary. ”
While speaking, Zhao Shenlu took a step forward, and in a cabin, he carefully picked up a withered yellow book.
The book was spread out on a desk, the number of pages was small, and the text on it was a little blurry, but it was preserved in its entirety.
And the content of the homepage is shocking.
"The year, month and day are unknown, and the weather is unknown.
By the time I wrote this page, I had completely given up hope of escaping, the environment here was so strange that I had never seen it in my life, and there were so many masters in the team, but no one could understand the mysteries of this place, even the omnipotent Sect Master, who was at a loss. Perhaps, the world is so big, and it is indeed too self-sufficient to try to traverse it with manpower.
Death is not terrible, and when we realize that we are certain to die, no one in the team is in despair, and there are even people who dance and rejoice that they can die on the way to the adventure, as they dreamed of when they were teenagers.
However, there are some things that are more terrible than death, and that is to fall into confusion.
Not arrogantly speaking, including me, in this expedition group, more than 9 percent of the people are deeply conceited about what they know and learn, even though the world is big, there are countless unsolved mysteries, but as long as you study hard, there will always be a day when everything will fall into the ground. What's more, the team has gathered so many masters and gathered the strength of everyone, even if it still fails to reach the point, at least it can set up a monument along the way.
But the reality is brutal.
It's been a long time since we fell to the Netherworld, and I can't tell exactly how many years it will be, but at least for me personally, it's been a long time of more than ten years, and during these ten years, I have tried my best to understand the mysteries of the Netherworld, and I can't even summarize the slightest pattern.
The environment here is so strange that it is as if there is a big invisible hand that is controlling everything in a bad way, and what we hear and see is just the whim of the chess player behind the scenes, otherwise, I really can't imagine that nature can have such a vicious side. ”
The content of this page ended here, Zhao Shenlu glanced back at Wang Jiu, and saw that the white sword did not move at all, so he nodded and stretched out his hand to open the next page.
At the moment when the pages were turned, the entire diary suddenly turned into ashes, but in the moment before the ashes, Zhao Shenlu stretched out his hand to copy the bottom, and his fingers lightly touched the spine, and suddenly the pages stretched, and the diary was like a bird with wings, and the contents of each page were all displayed.
And Zhao Shenlu and Wang Jiu, at this moment, wrote down all the hundreds of pages.
The amount of information is quite large, which makes both of them fall into deep thought for a while.
The owner of the diary was a master biologist who was invited by the Holy Sect Master to join the team at that time, and his original intention was to study the sea creatures of the Netherworld, but after the fleet crossed the gap in time and fell into a desperate situation, his main job became to study the team members around him.
Because some of these team members had physical mutations, at first it was just a simple skin discoloration, hair loss and other symptoms, and the team didn't take it too seriously, after all, this kind of thing is not uncommon for immortal cultivators. But soon the problem became serious.
These symptoms cannot be cured, whether with the help of their own exercises or the power of medicine, these simple symptoms cannot be cured, but have a tendency to become more and more intense.
According to the diary's owner's records, the first seriously ill patient was a sword cultivator who was serving as a guard for the expedition at the time, and when he entered the woodening room to patrol, he was found to have exceeded the metal standard, and he obviously took off all the metal artifacts on his body in strict accordance with the regulations. Later, I found out that he had excessive metal in his body! In his right arm, there is an extra metal bone!
