Chapter 3 "Hunger and Bone Rats" "Revised Again"
It's been two days since Xiu Yi was kicked into this cave by the skeleton warriors. After unremitting efforts, Xiu Yi finally joined his skull with the headless skeleton, and although he failed many times in between, he succeeded in the end.
He tried to stand up against one of the walls of the cave. Only to find that he could not fully control the skeleton. It's as if there's something between your will and this body.
In fact, this is the result of unfamiliarity between bones and soul fire. It's like a person who has just been replaced with a prosthetic leg can't control it right away. The fit between the soul fire of the undead and the first body is not comparable to the new body.
'Alas~~ It seems that I can only take my time...'
Xiu Yi thought helplessly, not long after waking up, he groped in the cave for a day or two, and finally found a piece of Dark Copper Mine, but ran into a skeleton archer who shot his own cold arrow. finally killed the archers, and a second-order skeleton warrior jumped out. He kicked himself into this cave again.
Now I can't control this new body. It's really a house leak that happens to rain overnight, and drinking saliva can choke people to death!
Xiui sat in the corner, shaking hands, throwing fists, raising hands, etc., which could help him control the movement of the skeleton while thinking about what to do in the future. After all, if you suffer a loss once, you can't eat it again.
Everyone knows that the undead advanced by absorbing the death energy around themselves, and the speed of absorption has nothing to do with themselves. If you're lucky, you might be able to advance in a year or two. If you're unlucky, you won't be able to advance for hundreds of years, so it's definitely not going to work.
It seems that I can only continue to explore the cave, and I don't know if there is anything useful in this cave where I stay. If you're lucky, you might even be able to come across a small piece of Stygian Copper. However, you can't encounter any other undead. This time it's my luck, and next time I can't say anything.
Looking at his hand made of gray bones, thinking of what he had encountered in the past few days, he couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness.
I died in vain, and I became an undead in vain, what kind of mistake did I make?
I don't know what happened to my family, whether my sudden death like this will cause them trouble, I hope they don't grieve too much....
'O great God of light, please guide you believers!' I pray to you with all my heart, that your glory shines on the earth and helps all things to grow. Your fraternity is impartial, and everything in the world is like a parent. I pray to you from the bottom of my heart that I am extremely repentant of the sins I have committed. I feel guilty for the creatures who died because of me, who were hurt by me, who suffered because of me. I ......'
Thinking of his family, Xiu Yi knelt on the ground with difficulty, clasped his hands in front of his chest, and prayed quietly, which was the same as the prayer he made before his death. Repent of your sins, ask the gods for forgiveness, and ask the gods to protect your family and friends.
Even if he thought he was a dead spirit, the fraternity of the gods would still protect him, and he was convinced of this. He believed that the fraternity of the gods would not change by turning into a ghost. Because his father said to him, "The gods will not forsake you because of your death."
For three or four days in a row, Xiu Yi tried to control the skeleton as much as possible, while praying to the god of light. But from the third day, there was a problem that bothered him, and that was hunger!
Since he woke up, until now, he has not devoured the soul fire of other undead. The hunger that emanated from the soul fire tormented his soul. This hunger is not the hunger of the body, but the hunger of the soul. This torture of soul hunger can make any undead go crazy.
In fact, most of the undead are not dissipated by the killing of other undead. Their soul fires were all weakened by hunger and slowly extinguished. That kind of pain is unimaginable for the living.
I don't know if the gods heard his prayers, or if he was lucky. On the fifth day, he was finally able to take full control of the skeleton.
He couldn't wait to find the other undead in the cave. The crimson fireball technique was gently hovering in his hand, ready to attack anything that might appear and had soul fire at any time.
Originally, it was not like the idea of encountering other undead, but after the hunger hit, it disappeared without a trace, and you can imagine how terrible this hunger tortured the undead to Xiuyi.
His soul fire had turned from dark blue to a weak pale blue because of hunger, but despite this, the fireball technique was still in his hands. He knew that this would continue to drain his mana, which in turn would make his soul fire even hungrier. But he also knew that if he didn't, it would be impossible to defeat the other undead.
When he was suppressed by the skeleton archers, he discovered that his fireball technique required five seconds of condensation. If at that time, in the five seconds of his condensation fireball technique, the skeleton archer did not choose to suppress it from a distance, but chose to rush over quickly and fight with him, then he would have finished the game.
A mage who is casting spells is very fragile, like a snake that has just shed its skin, and does not have much ability to fight back.
However, where did the second-order skeleton warrior come from? happened to see himself fighting with the skeleton archer, and wanted to take advantage of the fisherman? No, as soon as the fireball technique hit the skeleton archer, it immediately jumped out and gave itself a sword, and the skeleton warrior jumped out from behind the archer...
Could it be that they are together? well~ very likely. Otherwise, the archer would not have been able to run to his own place and fight with him. But if it was together, then why didn't it rush over and take it down in one fell swoop when it was condensing the fireball technique? It was obviously a second-order warrior? Strange! What a strange!
Huey was walking in the cave, thinking about these incomprehensible things, when suddenly a faint blue light flashed in a pile of bones in front of him.
'Eat !!'
As soon as Xiui saw the glimmer of light, he instinctively thought it was food. He immediately rushed to the pile of bones. Begin digging frantically with one hand, grabbing bones one by one and tossing them aside.
The originally thick pile of bones was quickly dug up by Xiu Yi and only a little bit remained, but the dark blue soul fire was gone.
When he found that the food he was about to arrive was gone, Huey was annoyed. Looking at the pile of bones on the ground next to him, he was sure that it was not he who threw the food into it, but the food that ran away on its own.
'You can't go far, you must be here.' Hmph, I'd like to see where you can hide!' thought to Xiu Yi angrily.
"Boom~"
After a while, a faint blue light lit up again in a pile of bones a few meters away. Seeing this, Xiu Yi shot out the fireball technique in his hand without saying a word. As soon as the fireball technique touched the pile of bones, it emitted a dazzling light and exploded!
The power of the fireball explosion may not be large, only equivalent to the power of a 100-gram gunpowder explosion, but the temperature is higher. But even so, for these bones on the ground who have been here for an unknown number of years, hehe, that power is really not to be underestimated. The explosion from the fireball technique shattered the pile of bones, sending bone fragments flying everywhere, and the shockwave nearly knocked the weakened Xiu Yizhen to the ground. The last time Hue attacked a skeleton archer with a fireball, he blew off one of his hands because he got too close to the opponent.
When the fireball exploded, the smoke and dust generated dissipated, and the original pile of bones no longer had a good bone, and the skulls of three rodents that had been shattered, but still shone with light blue light, were lying on the ground that had been blown black, and appeared in front of Yi.
