Chapter 16: The Lich King
Stepping on a hybrid skeleton.
Yan Jing marched through a grave full of evil and gloomy death.
Tong Xuan Sense had marked the location of the special structures in the pit for him.
If nothing else, not far ahead is the research base built by the White Bone Spirit.
To Yan Jing's surprise, as the hybrid skeleton was forcibly refined by the soul fire and transformed into his servant, the expected continuous offensive did not appear.
Instead, the entire burial pit fell into an eerie silence.
This made Yan Jing realize that he had made the right choice.
When the mongrel skeleton first appeared, he did consider directly running over it with the power of faith or dragon and tiger qi, this kind of seemingly terrifying undead he had seen a lot in the present world, and it didn't cause him any harm at that time, let alone now.
However, considering the information related to the White Bone Essence collected by Songzhuju, Yan Jing realized that if he wanted to pry out the information about Yuan Gang from this guy's mouth, he was afraid that it was not possible to coerce and lure him.
It's a skeleton, and no matter how coercive it is, it's just a bone.
Yan Jing even suspected that the White Bone Spirits did not have human emotions at all, and the only estimate he was interested in was studying all kinds of corpses.
He came to explore the situation of Yuan Gang's corpse back then, not to eliminate the White Bone Spirit.
And because of that.
After a brief period of thought, Yan Jing turned to using Deathcore Doom, which was more in line with the evil energy and the gloomy death qi.
The transformation of the hybrid skeleton by the [Creation] ability obviously attracted the attention of the White Bone Spirit, who believed that Yan Jing was an existence similar to himself.
Otherwise, the offensive in the pits would never have stopped.
The thick fog ahead suddenly dissipated.
The sky was dark.
The sun, which was not called bright, seemed to be covered with a layer of shadow, and Yan Jing knew that this was the embodiment of the high concentration of evil energy.
Needless to say, the destination has arrived.
The dark blue pit floor was paved with a path made entirely of femurs, and on both sides there were various types of miserable white skeletons in a bowed posture, using their own heads as lanterns to light dark green phosphorus fires.
At the end of the skeleton road is a three-story building made of the same strange bones.
Despite the chilling choice of materials, the building itself exudes an indescribable beauty.
Control the hybrid skeleton to stand still in front of the door.
Before Yan Jing could speak, a half-demon corpse in the shape of a dry corpse standing in front of the door of the house stepped forward first,
"Whoever comes is named!"
The shriveled vocal cords constantly vibrated and spit out a hoarse voice.
"Peng'an, Lich King!"
casually reciting a title, Yan Jing was sure that the white bone spirit probably didn't even know where Peng An was, and it was very clear that it was the soul fire he deliberately revealed that made the white bone spirit pay special attention, so he had a calm conversation outside the door now, and then said,
"Your Excellency, but the rumored white bone spirit who walked out of the ancient battlefield?"
"What are you doing here?"
"Deal."
Yan Jing didn't shy away from it at all, and said bluntly,
"A hundred years ago, the Mandate of Heaven made a big disturbance in Zhongshan City, and after the defeat, Your Excellency collected the corpse, I want to know what is the secret of the body of the Mandate of Heaven, which can allow him to fight the three demon kings alone without being defeated!"
The words fell, and the half-demon corpse outside the door fell silent.
Obviously, the White Bone Spirit didn't expect Yan Jing's purpose of coming here to be so "extraordinary".
You must know that in Zhongshan City now, the Mandate of Heaven is a forbidden word, and if an ordinary monster dares to mention it at will, he will immediately be approached by the Demon King's subordinates, and whether it has anything to do with it or not, he will be sent to prison for interrogation first.
I didn't think that this guy who suddenly appeared would come up and mention the Mandate of Heaven, and I don't know where to get the news, and I also know that it is one of the monsters who studied Yuan Gang's corpse in the first place.
"The demon kings are now looking for a new Mandate of Heaven, and you are appearing again at this time, aren't you afraid that I will report ......?"
"Noise!"
Yan Jing's eyebrows outlined the fire lotus, and the skeletons on both sides of the bone path behind him all got up, gathered behind him, and knelt on the ground.
"I thought I was a fellow practitioner...... So it seems that you are just groveling and pickled, and it is really in vain that I am trying to do it. ”
Directly interrupting the White Bone Spirit's questioning, Yan Jing deliberately put on a disappointed look.
If he cared about the White Bone Spirit would report his information, he wouldn't have taken the initiative to mention the Mandate of Heaven just now.
The surroundings were already covered with a mystical perception network, and the white bone spirits inside could not transmit any information.
It is not destined to see the moon tonight!
To put it bluntly, Yan Jing is already invincible, and now he is nothing more than accompanying Bai Gujing to perform a scene, hoping to get the true information about Yuan Gang as soon as possible.
For the White Bone Spirit, an outlier among the monsters, Yan Jing knew that ordinary methods could not impress it.
This disdain from a suspected kind, stimulates it more than being defeated!
"These street lamps of yours are regarded as the reward for my special trip this time, so many good materials, it's a pity to leave them in your hands, as for whether I want to inform those demon kings about the information I came here, it's up to you."
Waving his hand indifferently, Yan Jing turned around and was about to leave, but his mouth was silently counting down.
Three, two, one......
"Wait! How did you do this miraculous way of turning decay into magic! ”
Seeing that Yan Jing was about to leave, the white bone spirit finally couldn't sit still, and hurriedly spoke out to stay.
At the same time, the doors of the bone house were opened.
A figure emerged from the darkness.
Yan Jing, who had his back to the bone house, grinned, and became indifferent when he turned around.
When he looked up, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he saw the person standing inside the door.
I thought that this white bone spirit was a skeleton, but this guy didn't know what method he used, he put a layer of human skin on himself, or three heads and six arms, but his physique was no different from ordinary people, and he looked very strange.
Yan Jing didn't talk nonsense, and went straight to take out the Dead Core Doom and release its energy.
In an instant, the skeletons gathered behind him ignited a phantom blue soul fire, not only the skeleton of his body was refined, but even the dead qi that lingered around him seemed to add a bit of particularly contradictory aura to it.
This is the most amazing thing about the [Creation] special effect, it can give real life to the dead!
The white bone spirit at the door of the bone house sensed the sudden change in the skeleton, and the three heads stared at the deathcore in Yan Jing's hand in unison.
It didn't need any superfluous explanation, it already knew the preciousness of the magic weapon in the hands of the Lich King in front of it.
"You should understand that an existence between life and death like you and me, the most important thing is the physical body, as long as you find a strong physical body, combined with my magic weapon, transcendent sanctification, but it's just a matter of a moment!"
Yan Jing took two steps forward, his face just right with excitement and a fanatical expression, staring at the white bone spirit and saying,
"I know that you have physical information about the Mandate of Heaven in your hands, and we can cooperate and take what we need!"
The fact that the previous temptation was not directly refuted by the White Bone Spirit was enough to prove that it had indeed participated in the final treatment of Yuan Gang's corpse that year, and it was even very likely to be the leader.
This is undoubtedly the most crucial thread found in the chaotic clues for Yan Jing.
Similarly, the white bone spirit at this time was also excited.
As Yan Jing expected, the White Bone Spirit actually didn't care about the prophecies in Zhongshan City at all, the Mandate of Heaven and the like, it was not a monster in the first place, and because of its unique physique, it had an extremely high tolerance to evil energy.
The name of the Demon King just now was just to test Yan Jing.
It has always been a cooperative relationship with the demon kings who are in charge of Zhongshan City!
To put it mildly, if it weren't for the fact that it was to occupy the burial pit alone, it wouldn't even bother to enter Zhongshan City.
"I'm going to test the power of this magic weapon."
Seeing Yan Jing gradually approaching, the white bone spirit stepped aside and spoke.
"I've shown sincerity, now it's your turn, what is going on with Yuan Gang's body, how did it do it?"
His gaze swept over the strangely shaped white bone spirits, and cast them into the bone house, which was filled with various patchwork skeletons, a considerable number of which showed an evil and abnormal posture, apparently experimental subjects made by the white bone spirits.
After walking around the left and right, his eyes finally fell on the ape-like skeleton in the center.
Even though he had never been exposed to undead transformation before, Yan Jing could still feel its specialness, and although the skeleton was small compared to the surrounding test subjects, every bone showed a jade-like luster.
"Looks like you're already researching."
Yan Jing clearly remembered that Yuan Gang's body was an ape, and it was no coincidence that the white bone essence was so ape skeleton in the center.
"When Yuan Gang fought the Three Demon Kings alone, I was near the battlefield, his physical body was more resilient than the Jiao Demon King, more strength and endurance than the Bull Demon King, more agile than the Peng Demon King, water and fire were not avoided, and spells were not invaded...... That's not the physique that a youkai should have, it's like a body created for him in this world! ”
Talking about the battle that year, the three heads on the neck of the white bone spirit invariably showed a look of admiration, and said,
"At that time, it was not only me who noticed the particularity of Yuan Gang's body, and the Peng Demon King asked me to protect his body for the first time, for follow-up research, the demon kings tried to imitate Yuan Gang's body to transform themselves."
No monster is really keen to become an irrational evil, and on the premise of having a choice, the demon kings all have greed for Yuan Gang's body and try to copy it to themselves.
They also want to be destined to be human, and they also want to be the darlings of this world.
Unfortunately, not qualified.
"And then?"
Yan Jing asked quietly.
"The demon kings are delusional...... I have dissected and studied Yuan Gang's corpse, his flesh and blood, bones are no longer what ordinary monsters should have, my speculation is correct, he is not even a real monster, more like a collection of some special energy, I don't understand where those energies come from, but it is certain that it is mixed with the origin of this heaven and earth! ”
Talking about his research results, the white bone spirit also showed a bit of fanaticism on his face.
The Origin of Heaven and Earth......
Realizing that what the White Bone Spirit was talking about should be the origin energy of this world, Yan Jing couldn't help but nodded, which was in line with what he thought.
The Shenzhou world has been invaded by evil spirits for decades, and the origin of the world still remains, and the situation in this world may be even worse, but judging from the fact that a considerable part of the living beings still have their sanity preserved and the candle dragon is not dead, the origin of the world has not been completely polluted.
Thinking about it this way, Yuan Gang should be the Mandate of Heaven created by this world for himself.
He has his own calling.
"Sure enough, where is Yuan Gang's corpse, since the demon kings want to imitate him, they will never destroy his corpse, tell me the place, as long as this magic weapon can touch that corpse, it can give it vitality, and then you and I will be transcendent!"
Turning around and clasping the shoulder of the white bone spirit, Yan Jing couldn't wait to ask.
The white bone spirit's expression became gloomy at this moment, vaguely revealing a little annoyance.
"Hey, you're not stupid enough to destroy Yuan Gang's body, are you?"
"Of course not, it's just...... After several failed studies, the Demon Kings abandoned their original ideas and seemed to have new plans. ”
Staring at the Death Core Doom in Yan Jing's hand, the White Bone Spirit now didn't care if the information he revealed was confidential or not.
This is a chance to become a saint!
"What?"
"They took Yuan Gang's corpse somewhere in Zhongshan, soaked it in the blood of the evil spirit, infiltrated and polluted Yuan Gang in this way, and tried to transform it into an evil spirit."
After walking a few steps forward to the edge of the ape skeleton in the bone room, the white bone spirit continued,
"Although I am not directly involved, they will ask me to go and inspect Yuan Gang's body every once in a while to see if it has been converted into an evil spirit."
"Are they crazy, what good is it for them to transform Yuan Gang into an evil one, if such a strong body becomes an evil one, isn't the most dangerous thing to be the nearest demon king?"
Hearing that the demon kings actually planned to transform Yuan Gang into an evil demon, Yan Jing immediately frowned, paused, and added,
"If they succeed, my plan will have no hope of success!"
"As far as I know, it hasn't worked out yet, and as for what they're doing it...... Perhaps it has something to do with the Candle Dragon, which still wants to wake up the Candle Dragon through Yuan Gang, calling it a bait container. ”
"Bait containers?"
Yan Jing keenly grasped the key to the White Bone Spirit's words.
This word also appeared in the internal meeting of the Demon King that I overheard before, but I didn't expect it to refer to Yuan Gang.
It's just that Yuan Gang himself is not a fully formed Mandate of Heaven, why do the demon kings think that after transforming his corpse into an evil spirit, they will be able to control the awakening and control of the candle dragon?
Or have the demon kings already mastered the means to make it up?
"They destroyed Yuan Gang's soul, I think they want to fill a new soul into it, disguised as a Mandate of Heaven."
Seeing that Yan Jing was deep in thought, the white bone spirit speculated to himself, and before the words fell, he saw the former reluctantly raise his head, looking back at him with burning eyes, and the expression on his face was intriguing.
"Take it, I'm very satisfied with the information you provided, be careful of the artifact spirit of this magic weapon, it may be a little irritable."
Yan Jing smiled, and directly threw the Death Core Doom in his hand to the White Bone Spirit, and at the end of the day, he brought a kind reminder.
Although he didn't quite understand why Yan Jing suddenly changed his attitude, his desire still drove the white bone spirit to pick up the mysterious magic weapon that had already flown in front of him.
As for whether the machine spirit inside is irritable.
It believes it is capable enough to force repression.
