Chapter 289: Thundering Bugs
The dust and smoke cleared, and the flat floor of the hall had been damaged by potholes, and a complete corpse could not be found in the field.
The explosion didn't affect the Silver Wing on the second floor, but his face was pale at the moment, the enemy had actually gotten such a terrible destruction right under his nose, and the consequences would be unimaginable if it was detonated in the core area!
"Thoroughly!"
Silverwing said angrily.
Whether it's the group of perverted maniacs in the alchemy workshop, or the craftsmen he has come into contact with today, they have to deal with it! Human life is the least valuable thing to him, and even if he kills them all, he can quickly replenish them!
"It's very likely that the guy Murdox reminded me of this was secretly doing it......
The offensive on the normal battlefield can no longer be delayed. ”
Silver Wing's palm is slightly raised.
Bang!
The three gates of the temple reopened, and a silver-armored guard poured in, restoring order to the castle.
After relieving himself for a moment, he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and walked down the hall, the previous explosion did not affect him, and his injuries were mainly from the highly poisonous rose released by Cheng Shen secretly.
However, this poison does not completely kill a liege unit.
He first confirmed that the intruder was dead and there was no chance of resurrection, and then he manipulated the mechanism to move the giant stone statue back to its original position after being cracked by the powerful impact of the frontal explosion.
The faceless angel was also blown away by the explosion at close range, its wings were completely shattered, its chest and face were charred black, revealing a large area of mechanical tissue, and it was lying on the ground motionless, its life and death uncertain.
However, Silverwing knew that it would not die so easily, as the faceless angel was not a true deified creature, but an alchemical golem made of reactive metal.
Reactive metals can also be used to craft alchemy golems.
And it can make the transformation rate reach 100%.
However, such a transformation does not meet the conditions and definitions of the deification experiment, and cannot be regarded as a real "deified creature".
Therefore, the castle owner, who had always wanted to become the first god of the post-era through the apotheosis experiment, made this pseudo-deified creature based on the legends and texts he knew, and named it after the angel who served the gods.
In this way, his ambition and desire are revealed.
But.
Reactive metals are extremely difficult to obtain, and the cost of crafting such alchemical golems is prohibitive.
Even with the foundation of the castle, only one faceless angel was created.
And today Silverwing has seen that this pseudo-deified creature is not much stronger than the Storm Trooper and Silver Armor Guard with regular mechanical structures.
It was a real disappointment for him.
"Hope is still far away to achieve the owner's ideals...... But it will work out! ”
Silver Wing has a firm belief in the bottom of his heart.
He stepped forward, bent down and picked up the faceless angel whose body was gradually recovering, and was about to put it back into the thunder pool to meditate, which was one of the few benefits of reactive metal, which could be repaired automatically.
It is said that reactive metals that have reached the highest stage of development can be restored in a very short period of time even if they are destroyed to the point that only a drop of tissue remains......
Burst!
Silverwing's thoughts froze in his mind for a moment, and he looked down in surprise at the palm that was thrust into his chest and stirring.
"How could it be ......?"
He turned his gaze and saw eight purple eyes blooming with brilliance.
Dementors!
Airplanes!
Silver Wing's brain went blank for a moment, and the next moment, a sharp white light flashed, and one of his big heads flew out of his body!
Poof!
The handsome head rolled on the ground a few times, it was not completely dead at the moment, and a sharp and piercing cry sounded from its mouth, which was obviously impossible to make a sound again, and its body suddenly radiated a thousand feet of electric light!
Crackling!!!
The hall with a diameter of 100 meters was instantly shrouded in raging lightning, and the 100-meter-long lightning chain, like an angry roaring thunder dragon, flew away in the wide space, releasing the power to destroy the world and destroy the earth!
Bang!!
The sky above the castle outside causes the heavens and the earth to change color at the same time!
After a long time.
It's too calm again.
However, the whirlpool thunderclouds entrenched in the sky became much lighter, and the gray sky covered by lead clouds could already be faintly seen......
Boom......
A charred black object fell to the ground, its shell cracked open, revealing the silvery-white substance flowing inside, and a face slowly emerged on the liquid sphere the size of a football that had been melted by the heat.
"It's not ...... dead"
Cheng Shen was surprised by the fact that he could still survive.
He didn't expect that Silver Wing would be suddenly attacked, and after destroying two fatal parts one after another, he would be able to release such a terrifying self-detonation power, and at that moment, he was ready to sacrifice this wisp of knowledge.
Unexpectedly.
This body transformed by three generations of apotheosis experiments is so strong.
Crash......
The volume of flowing liquid metal gradually extended outward, and without Cheng Shen's control, it re-condensed the body of a faceless angel, but at this moment, the spiritual consciousness in this body was no longer that crazy monster.
Harness the power of the Hibbert Core's self-detonation and the effect of a soul item.
Cheng Shen successfully occupied this body.
The process is naturally dangerous, but the cost is not serious for him, and even if he fails, it will only allow this wisp of knowledge to be swallowed up by the faceless angel.
And he has already figured out the castle's hole cards through this.
Next.
It is to pull the body over and attack directly through hard power.
The result is the same.
Occupying success only shortens the time of the process.
Soon.
Cheng Shen controlled the monster's body and stood up again.
He looked at the location of the Silver Wing's self-detonation, its corpse was still frozen in place, the lightning had eroded its body in an instant, and there were still arcs of lightning flickering in the wreckage, and no sign of life could be detected.
For the sake of safety, Cheng Shen still did not rush closer.
He adjusted to the unique perspective of the Faceless Angel, and then the eight purple eyes shimmered, and their hideous mouthparts cracked, releasing powerful sound waves from the scream, shattering Silverwing's corpse into dust.
When!
There was a soft thud.
Half a silver metal plate fell from his corpse.
Cheng Shen stepped forward to pick it up and retrieve the other two pieces of fragments that were blown up from the main hall.
Click!
The complete key disc was immediately pieced together.
"The spiritual consciousness of the castle is dissipating......"
Cheng Shen calmly perceived.
He guessed correctly, the so-called castle master was in a state where he had no time to care about anything at the moment, and the entire castle was controlled by the servant of Silverwing, including the huge spiritual consciousness that enveloped the castle.
It died at this point.
The castle was already completely undefended for him.
"The strongest fortress can often only be defeated from the inside......" Cheng Shen thought of this sentence for no reason.
Though.
The original meaning of this sentence was slightly different from his current situation.
Discerning the direction, Cheng Shen found the spiral staircase upstairs and came to the second floor of the castle.
There were rooms built around the fence on the second floor, and he went in to check and found that most of them were vacant, but the facilities in the house were quite well preserved, which made him want to move his territory here.
An ancient castle so well preserved that there is no reason to sit idle.
When he occupies this place, he can move in.
Speaking of which.
Although he has a territory, he does not yet have a stable place to live.
After learning the Blue Whale Meditation Method, his need for sleep was greatly reduced, and most of the time he spent one night around the campfire, but he never thought about allowing himself to truly live the luxury of a lord.
"The minds of simple working people cannot be easily changed......"
Cheng Shen thought leisurely.
"Yusegra must love it here."
After turning around, Cheng Shen found some decorations made of star gold in some of the rooms.
The style is very similar to the one he found from the treasure trove of the Sacrificial Temple.
The extravagance is outrageous.
He kept some of the decorative parts on the walls that could not be taken away, and gathered all the individual ornaments, and the rest were those that Cheng Shen did not want to destroy the overall decoration of the castle, but he would definitely have to dig them out in the future.
A rough calculation.
Cheng Shen estimated that the star gold he got now was enough for him to build a single outfit.
If it is used to smelt gold coins, you can make at least tens of thousands.
It's also a huge amount of money.
Go up to the third floor.
To the left of the stairwell is a hall slightly smaller than the first floor, lavishly decorated with a soft crimson carpet and a vivid portrait of the period on the walls.
In the center, a portrait of an ancient nobleman dressed in an ancient aristocratic costume is two meters wide, with a black and red gown, reflecting the somewhat pale skin of the man in the painting.
It gives people a very strange sense of déjà vu.
Laugh at......
The silvery white candlesticks lit up with a dim glow, gradually raising a hint of warmth in the room.
Downplaying some of the gloom that was stared at by those portraits.
"It's so ugly, what kind of aesthetic is this."
Cheng Shen commented unceremoniously.
Bang dang!
Without him moving, the portraits on the wall fell off and fell to the ground.
Then it was wrapped in a soft flame and slowly burned.
Cheng Shen glanced at it, then folded his wings and entered a room next to him, and as soon as he walked into the room, he felt a wave of spiritual fluctuations sweeping by.
"Buzz ......"
A slight vibration sounded.
A fist-sized silver beetle flapped its wings and flew up on a nearby desk.
"How did you come here...... Is there any indication from Lord Silverwing......"
Faint mental fluctuations came into Cheng Shen's mind.
Cheng Shen turned his head, and the eight purple eyes on his face bloomed with a breathtaking brilliance.
Dementors!
The silver beetle immediately froze in mid-air, and the light in its eyes was instantly extinguished.
Cheng Shen raised his hand and sucked it into his hand.
"Thundering Bug...... Creatures that grow by sucking thunder and lightning can be used to transmit sound over long distances......"
"Phone?"
Cheng Shen was slightly stunned.
In addition to being able to make long-distance calls, this thunder bug also has a high level of autonomy and can increase the cultivator's lightning damage.
It can basically be kept as a pet.
It's really good.
Survivors can use the system's private channels to communicate with each other, no matter how far away.
There's no need for this kind of distance-limited thing.
But when it comes to recruiting units, as well as the ordinary natives of this world, this thunderworm can undoubtedly be of great use!
"Good stuff."
"This castle may be home to the Mother Thundering Bug!"
Cheng Shen immediately thought of it.
The dead thundering insect can also be used to refine thunder-attribute magic equipment or props, but the value of a single one is not much, Cheng Shen casually put this thundering insect back in its original place, and continued to search the collection in the study.
He was pleasantly surprised by the results.
Just by taking a cursory glance, he found a lot of valuable ancient books, which were different from those decorations in the polluted library, but ancient books that could really be read!
The harvest in this study is more than all the books he has acquired in the past!
"There's another course to be added to the Academy of Magic."
Cheng Shen thought with satisfaction.
The point is, he found a lot of records about the old times and the dark ages after the old ones were shattered, which were things that Arjeka didn't know, and could help him better understand the world!
"It's ......"
Back at the desk.
Cheng Shen saw a black and red letterhead squared on the desk.
He was immediately vigilant, the same looking letter he had only touched not long before.
It's the pact that the devil made!
Arjeka had reminded him that even without knowing it, even just picking up this contract could be a condition for him to agree to sign it, and this inexplicable ability was really unguardable!
But don't look.
Cheng Shen was curious about the content recorded on the letterhead......
It was probably Silverwing's correspondence with the devil named Murdox.
Just as he hesitated.
Cheng Shen saw that a line of handwriting suddenly appeared on the black and red letterhead.
"What's going on?"
……
Cheng Shen reacted instantly, it was the death of the thundering insect that caused the other party to be alert!
That's right, since there is such a convenient thing, there is no need to be close to the communication between Silverwing and Murdox, and there must be a communication between a thundering insect and the one he killed in the deserted village!
Soon.
Didn't wait for a reply.
The other party also seems to realize something.
Call!
A pitch-black flame suddenly rose from the letterhead, and a burning eye gradually condensed from the flames.
It turns in a circle.
Immediately he saw the faceless angel standing in front of him.
But this devil is a master of playing with the power of the soul.
It could see at a glance that the spiritual fluctuations lodged in this faceless angel exuded such a familiar aura.
Hula!
The eyes suddenly dispersed into black sparks, forming a line of burning fonts in mid-air.
"I'll wait for you......"
And then disappear.
"Don't worry, I'll be looking for you soon."
Cheng Shen whispered.
He then double-checked the room for the devil's backhand.
I was completely relieved after I didn't find anything.
Come to think of it, the interests of the castle owner and the loyal Silver Wing and the devil are not in common.
It is also a mutual defense.
If this place has been completely mastered by the devil, it will be a little difficult for him to take over.
"The same is true of the temple of worship......"
Cheng Shen suddenly thought.
He subconsciously rubbed his chin as he thought.
"With that devil's methods, even if you completely take over the operation of the Temple of Sacrifice and the Storm Castle, it will not be difficult.
But it didn't.
It's to save trouble.
Or is it not going to leave the village easily? ”
