Chapter 255: Sixty Years of Wandering in the Other World

The ghoul's head slammed into the stone wall, his eyes stiffened, and he collapsed to the ground.

Shiohisa stepped over the monsters that were lying on the ground and stared ahead.

On the third-order black tombstone, three large skulls looked at him from a distance. They arched against each other, their jaws open and closed, and there was a piercing rattle.

Dark green flames erupted from the skeleton's eyes.

Before being touched by the green fire, Shioku melted into the dirt beneath his feet, and moments later he appeared diagonally in front of a piece of rubble.

In the fire net woven by the three skeletons uninterruptedly, Yan Jiu walked leisurely.

"I said, it's useless to me."

"I have no ill intentions."

The response was an even crazier eruption of ghostly fire.

Shiohisa's figure disappeared in place, appearing under the black tombstone.

The three-story black tombstone is constructed entirely of a mixture of earth and masonry, and the whole is in the shape of a stepped fortress, like a small cone-shaped fortress.

At the top of the cone is a black stone monument - more like a black square stone pillar in appearance.

The spitting skulls grew out of the tombstones, like grotesque masks hanging from them. They are the Black Tombstone's most important means of attack, and are controlled by the ghosts inside the tombstone.

Shiojiu is already too familiar with all this.

It's been sixty years since he came to the ghost realm, and he's been dealing with these black tombstones, ghouls, and ghosts.

Any profession, if you patiently polish it for 50 years, you will have some experience.

The Black Tombstone is the foundation of this world.

It is not only the basic unit that makes up the tomb group, but also the house, the watchtower and the fortress, and a new kind of wonder. The inhabitants of this world live around black tombstones, and the towering stone tombstones make them feel safe.

This reminded Shiojiu of the Yao clan's ghost lighthouse.

The positioning of the two is actually different.

The Ghost Lighthouse has no combat characteristics, it is an open building belonging to the ghosts, and it is a bridge between the dead and the living.

Tombstones, on the other hand, go to the other extreme, extremely closed and xenophobic. Even ghosts and ghouls can intrude into the area of other Black Tombstones and attract spectral fires.

It looks like a strange collection of tombstones, but it is more like a series of independent fortresses, arranged in an orderly manner under the orders of the gods.

Shiojiu suffered a lot on the black tombstone in the early days.

Once the ghost fire burns the body, it will cause continuous pain and weakness, and the lethality is good, the higher the level of the black tombstone, the more layers, the stronger the power of the ghost fire.

Fortunately, he is now a sand walker, able to exist and change in the form of sand, as long as he steps on the earth, Shiojiu can use the arranged sand to quickly transfer and change direction.

Sand is his most important tool.

The weakness of the black tombstone is on the inside.

As long as you can break through its attack range and enter the inner perimeter, you can subdue the control ghost inside.

The only pity is that the surroundings of the black tombstone are mostly muddy and humid. If it is a dry ground or even a desert environment, the salt can be moved much more for a long time.

Even if you break through the dark tombstone's ghostfire attack range, you still have to deal with sleeping ghouls underground.

Shiohisa enjoys fighting ghouls.

It reminded him of the days when he fought hand-to-hand with the transcendents in the Eastern Continent in search of a breakthrough. Usually Shiojiu is point-to-point, will not kill the other party, and is also to avoid the ghoul's self-detonation.

Ghouls retain their beastly nature, they have no formal professional training, resulting in an empty body of explosive power and resistance to hits, and attacks are also poisoned, but they cannot fully exert their combat power.

Yan Jiu thought that if Bottu, the commander of Yancheng, trained these ghouls, it would be very difficult to face them himself.

In constant battles with ghouls and black tombstones, Shioku felt that he was getting stronger and stronger, until he entered a new bottleneck.

Now he has an easy time dealing with most ghouls.

It's not just the hierarchical suppression, but also the reason why Shioku knows everything about their attacks and behaviors.

Shiohisa walked through the inner perimeter and stepped into the stepped tombstone.

In the face of the intruder, more than a dozen ghosts retreated.

"Don't come here!"

"The Apostle is already on the way, aren't you afraid of being punished by God!"

"You madman, you always like to destroy our house! Where the hell did you come from? ”

"And no one messes with you!"

The ghosts are gossiping.

Shiojiu just said, "Walker passing by, come in and have a look." Excuse me. ”

He looked left and right.

Like the other tombs he had visited before, the interior of this tombstone was rudimentary, like a warehouse for groceries.

There are many things piled up inside, including some stones of different colors, stone carvings, bones, wooden poles, wooden tables and chairs, and all kinds of clay pots...... There's even a rock-walled dirt floor that houses a translucent slug, a favorite pet of the ghosts.

The ghost taste of the ghost world is more special.

After the visit, Shiojiu asked, "Do you know where the fourth-order black tombstone is?" ”

"Fourth Order? There is no fourth order. ”

"That's just a legend, and the legend is false."

"The third order is the best, we have the best house here! There are the best skeletons! And the strongest and smartest ghouls! ”

Speaking of the black tombstones, the ghosts are full of pride.

Shiojiu said a pity in his heart.

He had visited twelve third-order tombstones, but had not found a further four-story building.

It is rumored in the ghost world that the fourth-order black tombstone will transform into a [crazy tombstone]. Corpse hunters will be born from this, stitching together to create even more powerful ghouls.

The legend has a long history, but it is difficult to distinguish the truth from the false.

Shioku wants to see it.

He turned his head to look at the wall next to him.

A wall apart.

Shiohisa could sense that a powerful transcendent was staring at the place outside.

He knew who it was.

"Sorry for the presumptuousness." After Shiojiu spoke, he disappeared in place.

The ghosts in the tombstones breathed a sigh of relief.

They looked at each other and whispered.

"Is there something really wrong with its head?"

"Definitely, it doesn't make sense."

"Sand Walker...... What kind of race is this, exactly. Fortunately, he is the only madman in our world, otherwise it would be troublesome. ”

"One day, the gods will surely kill this madman."

"No, guys."

One of the ghosts suddenly rejoiced: "The Apostle is here!" I feel it, it's Lord Bloo! The Sandwalker is scared! ”

The apostle appeared, indicating that the gods were also dissatisfied with the sand walker and wanted to punish him.

The end of this madman who stumbles on the tombstone is here!

One by one, the ghosts came to life.

……

A mess of rocks.

Shiohisa looked at the figure ahead.

"How's it going?" The other party asked him.

It was a human-looking human with a normal face who spoke.

He was about the same height as Shioku, looked to be about thirty years old, his eyes were pale, there were only a few green pupils, and his skin took on a corpse-like blue-gray color. There was a sense of twilight death emanating from the whole person.

"Thank you very much to the gods for your appreciation."

Shiohisa said politely, "However, if I refuse, I can't become an apostle of the ghost god." I have my own gods, and I will not betray my faith. ”

"You'd better figure it out, Lord Ghost God can crush you with just one finger." The blue-skinned man said.

"I know, Mr. Blow."

Shiojiu was very calm: "The power of the gods cannot be challenged by mortals. ”

"Now that you know, you should understand that the gods have been tolerant and patient enough with you. Otherwise, you would have been a corpse long ago. ”

Bulow sighed, a little helpless: "If it weren't for your ability, I wouldn't have wasted time talking about you so much." ”

Shiojiu also knows it.

If you want to survive in this other world, you must show your strength and value.

This is easy to say, but very dangerous to implement.

You need to show your abilities without angering or offending the local gods. So he challenged the Black Tombstone all the way, all on point, without harming a ghost, and he didn't even kill a ghoul.

He appeared as a practitioner, challenged all powerful opponents, and later even took the initiative to engage with the Apostle Blow.

The two sides are in between.

Shiojiu doesn't think he's entered the apostolic level.

He knew in his heart that Bloo wasn't good at fighting. Bullow is a Funeral Clan, the most important demographic group in the world, but also the least numerous.

Carrion and bones react wonderfully in this world, and most of them will spawn ghouls over time. But there are also a very small number of them that will evolve into funeral families.

The Undertaker and the Ghoul are the two branches of this world where the dead return.

They retain a clear sense of self and have the ability to create black tombstones.

What Bloo excels at is mobilizing and building black tombstones.

"The gods you follow don't even mean to convert you into an apostle."

Buloh persuaded: "Lord Ghost God attaches great importance to talents, so he put aside the battle of faith to recruit you. The gods make judgments, don't they? ”

"No, you're mistaken."

Shiojiu said calmly: "I didn't become a god apostle because I wasn't qualified enough, and any of the gods' apostles were far superior to me. I'm still too far from the apostles. ”

Blow didn't believe it at all.

In any kingdom of gods, the sand walker in front of him, regardless of rank, actual combat ability, or brain, belongs to the middle and upper echelons of the apostle group. Otherwise, the Ghost God would not have made so much effort to bring him under his command.

Bulo continued to knock and beat: "Shiojiu, you should know that the gods will not tolerate you forever. ”

"Understood."

Shiohisa just said, "All I can do is continue to practice." ”

"Do you think that as long as you are high enough, you can change your fate?"

"Meditation is a way of survival."

Sand Walker smiled, "In my limited life, I want to see where I can go." You can go a little further and see more of the scenery. ”

Blow was annoyed.

This guy is really ...... It's both appreciative and annoying.

Suddenly, Bullow's whole body trembled.

He closed his eyes, and his face became extremely solemn.

After opening his eyes, Buluo looked at Shiojiu suddenly: "The Kingdom of God where you are located is the Bamboo Reed Country?" ”

"No, I said, I'm an ordinary cultivator of the Yao clan." Shiojiu corrected.

Although Blow had already thought about it, he still asked more for the sake of safety.

Shiohisa realized: "Something happened? ”

“……”

Bulow was silent for a while: "The war is about to begin, and a divine kingdom is overlapping with the ghost realm. I've got to go, you can stop a little while. ”

Shiohisa is a first-hand witness of the Divine War.

In this world, he also received a lot of tolerance and care.

Shiojiu pondered for a moment and asked, "Need help?" ”

"This is our war, and we don't need outsiders to get involved."

Blow turned to leave.
