Chapter 155: Armor in a Flower Bed
The turquoise blue ocean is like a mirror that is broken into countless pieces and closely connected, clear and blue, reflecting the bright sun, and the sea surface ripples with the sea breeze, gently washing the golden sand.
Crash!
Large swaths of the waves crashed into the craggy shallows of the reef, shattering into crystal splashes.
In the middle of the shoal, layers of coral rocks are stacked like terraces, forming a wide square.
In the center of the top is a tall coral tree that blooms like a rose.
Boom!
Naga Guza's broken body was thrown away with great force, and it slammed into the coral tree.
But a white mask of light immediately rose from the surface of the coral tree, blocking its silhouette.
After Ardjeka intervened, this boss battle became a convenient crush, and Cheng Shen did not have the slightest sense of shame of losing one-on-one.
Smell the salty smell of the sea breeze.
He sighed in his heart.
"It's hard to imagine that you can see such a clear ocean."
He looked into the distance, and saw the fat swimming fish that leaped up from time to time on the surface of the sea, and the deep black shadows that sometimes loomed and sank to the bottom of the sea.
I can't help but wonder.
If the first two Chaos Lords he faced were to live in a harsh environment, it could be explained as an invasion of the Chaos Universe for the sake of resources.
But for what reason is this Kraken Lord?
It guards a sea of abundant resources, and the world is not without land.
Even if an intelligent race that might live on land has evolved a nuclear-bomb-level civilization that is difficult for sea creatures to compete with, it is better than invading the world where they live in a world with such a terrifying existence......
Pity.
This is a question that he is destined to not get from Guza's mouth.
Boom!
Arjeka pursued Guza, and on the way, she threw a punch, and the entire body of a fish-man guard who tried to stop her path was directly shattered.
Splattered pieces of flesh and blood instantly hung all over her body, blood beads continued to drip from the edges of the dark red armor, and the dark and distorted magic patterns set off her expression more and more terrifyingly, like a demon born from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
Brutal and bloody.
Boom!
Rumble!
Every step she takes is a bloody massacre that soon turns the top of the coral rock into a living hell.
And the other side.
Da Meng led a team of iron-blooded soldiers, fighting the fish-men rushing up from all sides in a steady and orderly manner.
After the battle to explore the ruins, the soldiers became more proficient in group combat, and the tacit cooperation was far beyond the strength of the fishmen, and the whole battle was also one-sided, and there were no casualties in any unit.
There was no suspense in this invasion war.
After all, after he cultivated the ranks of the Iron Soldier and Ardjeka, the comprehensive combat power of his territory ushered in a leap.
The combat power bonus of one unit of Alphaka alone has reached 155 points!
Cheng Shen's current territorial comprehensive combat power has broken through to 837 points!
Firmly in third place!
But even so, to be on the safe side, the target of his invasion this time was still a twenty-ranked Chaos Lord.
It's just bullying children......
Seeing that Naga Guza no longer had any strength to resist, Cheng Shen relaxed and began to search for the treasure chest of this territory.
And at this time.
He had time to look at the communicator.
"The weirdness of the seal in Brother Pig's body...... A cheongsam woman coming out of the portrait...... Tut. ”
Cheng Shen quickly got a general understanding of last night's situation through Zhang Yao's news, and couldn't help but be secretly speechless.
His experience is countless times more wonderful than anyone else's.
And in the face of a terrifying scene, he was able to survive unharmed.
This luck.
It can't be described as going against the sky......
Cheng deeply knows that the most terrifying thing about weirdness lies in its unreasonable assimilation power.
Anyone who dies at the hands of the Strange will be transformed into a hanged ghost like the ruins of the Soul Land.
Or a secondary monstrous being like an ordinary deep-sea drowned.
And Zhang Yao's profession is not as convenient as that of a spirit warrior.
Immune to physical damage.
Or you can discard the weird erosion at will.
Therefore, whether he died at the hands of the ghost shadow or died at the curse of the cheongsam woman, his only result was to transform into a new weird.
Whether the resurrection item will be effective at that time.
Still unknown.
In his opinion, Zhang Yao's death under Brother Zhu's knife is already a blessing in misfortune.
It's even the only way to survive in that situation!
"Is this really explained by luck......
Cheng Shen felt absurd.
He then had a rough idea of what it was like in his mind.
Thoughtful in the heart.
The woman who came out of the portrait mentioned by Zhang Yao should be a kind of difficult and weird similar to the curse of the deep sea.
It didn't erupt at the time, but it would be completely released as the strange power continued to accumulate in his body.
Immediately.
He asked in detail.
Sure enough, it was confirmed by the other side.
After Zhang Yao came into contact with the portrait, when he slept for several nights in a row, he would dream of a woman, who was the cheongsam woman in the portrait. For any normal person, I'm afraid that this kind of thing can detect that something is wrong.
But Zhang Yao didn't care......
Finally, last night, this weirdness that was sealed in the portrait came to reality through his dream......
"Hi...... I thought it was too lonely for my sister to stay alone in the hollow of the tree, and she wanted to come out and chat with me, and I thought that as a man, I couldn't be so ruthless...... Who knew she was really dead! ”
Zhang Yao covered up embarrassedly.
“……”
Cheng Shen was speechless.
"The portrait in the hollow of the tree is supposed to be the source of the curse.
You'd better check that if it's still there, then there's a good chance that your curse will break out again.
If you are not there, it is undoubtedly Brother Pig who helped you solve it. ”
Cheng Shen reminded.
"Of course, there's a more convenient way for you to verify it, which is to fall asleep right away and see if you still have nightmares."
He added.
"How can I sleep now...... I'll verify it right away! ”
Zhang Yao decisively chose the first method.
He had just been lying all night, and he was in good spirits, and now it was torture to let him sleep.
He didn't master Cheng Shen's special skill of falling asleep quickly.
"Hmm. Another point, if Brother Pig can't wake up in a short time, you can use its knife first, just to explore the places you weren't able to explore before, maybe this is just an opportunity. ”
Cheng Shen said again.
Zhang Yao had told him a lot of places where treasures might be hidden, but because he didn't have the means to restrain the weirdness, he was blocked back by the weirdness wandering inside.
His oil lamp was found in a servant's room.
Furthermore.
There is also a storeroom with human skins, a study with a sound of churning at night, and a clock tower that only appears at a fixed time...... Wait a minute.
"Study?"
Cheng Shen's heart suddenly moved, but he didn't take the initiative to speak.
Brother Pig's knife is certainly a powerful curse, but the price of use is also terrifying.
Zhang Yao doesn't have the characteristic of not being afraid of death like him, and it is estimated that he will not be able to use it too many times.
It is even more likely to cause extremely serious damage to oneself.
But if you don't seize this opportunity, when Brother Pig wakes up, the probability that he can borrow a meat chopping knife is basically zero.
If you anger Brother Pig because of this, it will be even more than worth the loss.
At that time, his exploration of the castle will undoubtedly be delayed for a long time.
Therefore, it was an exploration that risked his life, but it was an adventure that Zhang Yao had to try.
Cheng Shen didn't explain the power for him again.
After going through so many things, he should have his own opinions and psychological preparation for everything he needs to face.
"What ...... chance?"
Zhang Yao looked at the meat chopping knife in his hand, his eyes flickered, he didn't hesitate for too long, and said, "I'll go check the portrait in the tree hole first!" ”
"Hmm."
Cheng Shen didn't say anything, which was exactly what he wanted to verify.
Portrait curse.
It is very similar to the Curse of the Deep and the Curse of the Apple.
Therefore, if you can gain experience from Zhang Yao's experience, it will undoubtedly help him a lot.
Although his bizarre experience last night is basically something he can't replicate.
But Cheng Shen still captured a key point from it.
Death.
Will the eerie curse continue to haunt a target who has already died?
This is a question that Cheng Shen desperately wants to verify.
He has a gift for resurrection, and he is not afraid of death, and if he can get rid of the curse of the deep sea by committing suicide once, or solve the two terrible curses together, it will be a very fortunate thing for him.
……
The old oil lamps flickered in the dim light.
Slowly illuminate the surroundings.
What burned in this oil lamp was not lamp oil, but a pool of red blood, at this moment, the blood was close to drying up, and a terrifying aura gradually emanated from the oil lamp, making Zhang Yao feel unusually cold.
He shook his whole body, and immediately took out his long sword and swiped it lightly on his wrist.
Crash!
A stream of hot blood was suddenly poured on the oil lamp, and the flames shrouded in the wick jumped up, and the brightness was several notches brighter than before.
It's like an incandescent lamp.
And the terrifying aura that permeated the oil lamp gradually subsided.
Zhang Yao had a cold face and an unkind look in his eyes.
The oil lamp seemed to be inexpensive to use, requiring only his blood to burn.
But he had to blet twice as much each time as the last.
If the demand for oil lamps cannot be satisfied, or if the "fuel" in them burns out, the strangeness in the oil lamps will be revived immediately.
And.
It's a secondary monale that can easily spiral out of control.
Every time he used his blood watering, it made the monster more and more powerful.
Zhang Yao was deeply introduced and knew the horror of this second-level strange object.
Maybe.
He only needs to use it two or three times.
There is no need to wait for the moment when the blood he poured cannot provide the consumption of the oil lamp, and the weirdness inside will grow to the point that it cannot be suppressed.
Completely recovered.
But he didn't have a choice.
He couldn't find a normal candle in the castle, the only suppressed weird item he could use.
Luckily, he only found the lamp last night, and he's only used it twice so far.
Pick up the meat chopping knife.
Zhang Yao's eyes once again resurfaced the scene of dense lines.
He raised his head slightly, and suddenly saw a terrible scene, the black lines in the sky were like an impenetrable net, intertwined in the sky over the entire castle, like decorative lines wrapped around every building...
"His Grandma's ......"
Zhang Yao's throat was dry and scolded.
"How weird this has to be! Lao Tzu simply lives in a weird old nest! …… What an awesome achievement it would have been to survive!
It can blow for a lifetime! ”
I have to say that his way of thinking is different from ordinary people.
It's not dark yet.
A bleak white light filled every part of the castle.
Zhang Yao walked forward quickly, according to his experience, there would be no strange activities in the castle during the day.
There seems to be a special force interfering with the strange action.
He didn't know that the ghost had been devoured by the portrait woman.
But there is an oil lamp in hand.
It's just that the invisible ghost can't threaten him anymore.
Passing through the corridor, Zhang Yao had to pass through the courtyard and head outside the high wall to verify that the portrait in the strange corpse tree was still there.
Suddenly.
His gaze was fixed on the center of the courtyard.
A statue of an angel with a mutilated head sits in a dry flower bed, its broken neck gushing out of a dark brown liquid.
The smell of rust was in the air.
Blood-colored plants like sunflowers grew in the flower beds, and among the blooming stamens, there was a human face with closed eyes, pale complexion, full of coldness and ominousness, forming a terrifying and strange scene.
And among the countless sunflower-like plants, Zhang Yao saw a half-kneeling body facing the angel statue's pitch-black armor.
For some reason, the moment he saw that armor, an unprecedented impulse suddenly surged in his heart.
Be sure to get it!
It was as if it was an important piece of equipment related to his life.
Zhang Yao's heart was pounding.
Subconsciously, he walked towards the flower bed.
Then.
The countless sunflowers turned their heads to him as if they had suddenly sensed something.
Although the eyes on the miserable white face did not open, Zhang Yao suddenly felt that an extremely terrifying aura enveloped him.
Walk further on......
Will die!
There seemed to be a voice in his head that was frantically reminding him.
Zhang Yao gritted his teeth, the blue tendons on his forehead agitated, and there was a strong struggle in his heart. He raised his right hand holding a meat chopping knife, looked at the dense black threads intertwined in the flower bed, and felt an urge to cut it down!
No way!
He suddenly stopped this terrible desire.
Although the meat chopper can be used, he can only use it once or twice at most, and the black lines symbolizing the weirdness in the flower bed are endless.
He can't get over it!
Even if no one reminded him, Zhang Yao could tell that the armor was definitely not something he could get now.
At least.
Find a way to restrain these sunflowers.
He immediately took two steps back, and suddenly, the sunflowers that turned their heads scattered lazily as if they had lost their lock-on target.
"Twenty Meters ......"
Zhang Yaomu measured a safe distance that would not cause them to move.
Then keep this distance and go around the flower bed.
Walk outside.
Boom.
Boom.
Suddenly, heavy footsteps came from one side.
Zhang Yao immediately turned his head and saw a group of soldiers in black and gold armor walking through the courtyard with neat steps.
"Guard...... Hey? No, this is a soldier in the cemetery? ”
Zhang Yao immediately recognized that they were different from ordinary guards.
Then he remembered that when he was exploring the first floor of the castle, he had seen a lot of these terracotta-like soldiers in the cemetery behind the castle.
But at the time there was no sign of any activity.
And.
There was a terrible monstrous one alive in that cemetery, and he couldn't get close.
Unexpectedly.
The squad of soldiers somehow started on their own.
