Chapter 31: The Corpse Puppet

Based on what he had seen, Lei Luo knew that he should have worn to the Shadow Moon Continent. And it became a clone version of the Voodoo statue, an existence between the living and the dead.

Compared to those corpse puppets who have no autonomous consciousness, the most precious thing that Lei Luo has produced is undoubtedly the mind.

As a traverser who crossed over again, he wasn't quite sure if this was a parallel realm or the other end of the long river of time. If it is a parallel realm, it undoubtedly means that the Shadow Moon Continent has not sunk, but has hidden traces of existence in some unknown way.

Now he didn't have time to think about it more.

Those golden sword warriors who led the beasts around the courtyard also had the strength of junior soldiers, but what Lei Luo cared more about was the strange fluctuations that Lao Qian and Gao Chen faintly emanated.

These two were not martial artists, and Lei Luo couldn't estimate what level they were. It's just that every time I focus on them, the spherical groove in the stat bar always changes—the clear liquid, which glows red.

The last encounter with Moro had made it clear to Relo that red was a sign of alarm. So he decided to continue to disguise himself as a corpse puppet and wait until the right opportunity arises.

In addition, there is another discovery, which has become a light in adversity.

The copper bell that Lao Qian had just given to Gao Chen, plus the rings and ornaments on the two of them, Lei Luo sensed at least more than a dozen shadow soul relics. According to the simple and crude "potential identification method", the grade of these relics is no worse than that of Qiwei's necklace.

Half bad luck, half opportunity.

For Lei Luo, this re-crossing is like a sudden journey, and he has already fallen into the whirlpool of fate without any preparation.

As the buyer, Gao Chen's loading requirements were quickly implemented. After the barrel was sealed, the viscous liquid completely submerged Lei Luo, and darkness ensued.

After a multi-day journey, Gao Chen rushed back to Bone Bay before the appointed time. This is the most famous bay of the Jinlan River, the water level of the river section of more than 100 miles is low and shallow, and the output of Jinsha is extremely rich, and countless people pan for gold here every day.

Where there are interests, there are conflicts, and there are three forces entrenched in Bone Bay. Among them, the "Tiger Slaying Hall" tossed and turned, and invited dozens of wizards such as Gao Chen as reinforcements, intending to eradicate the other two gangs in one fell swoop.

On the fifteenth day of this month, the three forces routinely re-demarcated the river section. The Tiger Slashing Hall was ready to be launched by Nei Ying first, prompting the two gangs to break out into conflict. When both sides are defeated, the wizards will appear with a large number of swordsmen who have been ambushed in advance and start a massacre on the river beach.

Gao Chen didn't care about these details, in fact, he didn't care about the success or failure of the whole killing game. When he arrived at the lodging arranged by the Tiger Slashing Hall, he instructed the gang to carry five wooden barrels into the house, and closed the door so that no one was allowed to enter.

Gao Chen looks like a young man, but he is actually in his fifties, a seventh-level wizard, and has always had a very conceited personality. Although there were many people in such gangs as the Tiger Slayer, in his eyes they were no different from low-level beasts. The reason why he was invited to move this time was entirely because there was an old opponent who was hiding in the hostile forces of the Tiger Slaying Hall. That person was carrying a strange treasure, and Gao Chen had been searching for many years, and it was not easy to find out his whereabouts, which led to today's hunting plan.

In fact, summons like corpse puppets are extremely inconvenient to carry because they cannot be blurred, and have never been favored by high wizards. But they have the advantage of being rough and thick, able to carry armor, and carrying runes, making them a very good meat shield character. In Gao Chen's plan, this is the most crucial point.

After completing the rune construction of four corpse puppets in a row, Gao Chen's gaze fell on Lei Luo.

Several different breathing sounds came and went in the room, only Gao Chen's was the slowest and longest, revealing the real heat of life.

Corpse golems can only maintain mechanical breathing and heartbeat for two to three years after they are made. When the power of refining is gone, they will say goodbye to this meaningless vital sign.

Lao Qian meant Lei Luo's sentence "a little more special", which left a deep impression on Gao Chen. But what intrigued him even more was that Lei Luo was almost unscathed in the melee, and the other four corpse golems had at least five or six wounds on their bodies.

Golems have no self-consciousness and no intelligence, so it is logically impossible for them to actively dodge attacks. Therefore, in Gao Chen's opinion, Lei Luo may have been a very talented barbarian warrior during his lifetime, which retained his fighting instinct until now.

"Whether it's useful or not depends on your performance this time......" Gao Chen muttered to himself, carrying the construction kit to Lei Luo.

Lei Luo didn't deliberately avoid his gaze, his eyes stood in place, maintaining a steady breathing rate, but secretly ready for a full explosion.

Gao Chen untied the corpse refining bandage wrapped around Lei Luo's body, pulled out a hollow golden needle from the toolkit, dipped it in the mixed plasma contained in the bone bowl, and began to tattoo the gray and hard rotten flesh.

After a long few hours, Gao Chen completed three primary "Spirit Ape Shadow" rune formations on Lei Luo in a row, and his face became surprised and happy.

This is already Gao Chen's construction limit, but it doesn't seem to have reached Lei Luo's carrying limit. A corpse golem that can withstand the pressure of three structures at the same time without any damage to its body undoubtedly has the potential to be upgraded to a corpse demon!

It's definitely a treasure, and it's definitely an unexpected huge gain!

With the strength of Gao Chen's seventh-level wizard, in the case of one belt and one, he should have chosen a seventh-level summon. This time, it was under the guise of the idea of overpowering quality with quantity that he went to Lao Qian and found these corpse puppets that were no more than level four. Prepare to fight and calculate, with a belt of five, kill the old opponent by surprise.

Now Lei Luo's strong body carrying capacity made Gao Chen realize for the first time that there would be treasures hidden in the garbage. Old money has always been accustomed to passing off the inferior as good, but this time it is finally unpleasant to retribution and has lost a lot of money.

"When I grab that superb magic weapon, I will definitely go to a real constructor and make a few decent constructs for you!" Under the ecstasy, Gao Chen did not notice that the few magic weapons on his body were flickering with extremely subtle aura fluctuations.

In close contact, Lei Luo's potential value is slowly rising. Listening to Gao Chen's self-talk about what "the best magic weapon", his heart couldn't help but move slightly.

"It's good to be a thug for this guy for free. Lei Luo made a decision in his heart.

The law of strength in this world is obviously different, although I don't quite understand what the "tattoo" Gao Chen left on his body is, but after the three identical patterns are completed, the agility attribute has actually increased by a full 0.9 value. From the original 1.67, it has risen to 2.57, and it has become the strongest attribute.

Now, even if this hard body is really rusty, Lei Luo is sure to run cool to show his enemies.

On the night of the full moon, the massacre unfolded as expected. The river beach has become a living hell, littered with lying corpses and pools of blood. Seeing that the situation was not good, the old adversary secretly hid into the night and retreated to the inaccessible mountains. Gao Chen smiled fiercely in his heart, followed far behind, and when he reached the field, the copper bell rang, and the five corpse puppets that were stiffly accompanying him accelerated at the same time, chasing towards the night ahead.

The old opponent was also a seventh-level wizard, and after noticing the abnormality, he immediately took out the magic weapon and prepared for battle. When he saw Gao Chen, he looked shocked and angry, and said loudly: "I thought it was who, it turned out to be my good junior brother! After so many years, are you still thinking about my soul-killing knife? If you have the ability, come and get it!"

"Shen Tong, everyone, senior brothers, you hand over your things quickly, how about I turn around and leave?" Gao Chen's mouth was bargaining, but the momentum of the five corpse puppets did not stop at all.

"Do you think I'm a three-year-old?!" Shen Tong sneered and paused with the short staff in his hand.

Two giant wolves glowing with silver all over their bodies burst out of the void beside him and met the enemy. Both are summons, and this pair of virtual beasts has reached level six, and their individual strength is far superior to that of any corpse puppet. But the five corpse puppets were all equipped with a full set of armor by Gao Chen, holding swords and shields in their hands, like soldiers on the battlefield, and their defensive power was almost doubled. Coupled with the construction bonus and numerical superiority, it was on par with the silver wolf for a while.

Gao Chen raised his hand to dissolve several corrosive fires sent out by Shen Tong, and glanced at the corpse puppet, and couldn't help but be stunned.

I saw that Lei Luo's steps were slow and clumsy, and he looked no different from other corpse puppets, and he didn't know where the bonuses of the three agility constructs had been added.

"What's going on? Could it be that something went wrong when I was tattooing and composing?" Gao Chen's face changed slightly.

But the arrow is ready to be sent. He quietly turned a magic ring, instantly sent out more than a dozen demon blood arrows, and took advantage of Shen Tong's hurry, raised the copper bell and shook it again.

The attack of the five corpse puppets immediately changed, and four of them, carrying the flesh shields of the defensive structure, pounced on them and hugged the silver wolf. Alone behind, Lei Luo swung his sword and slashed at the wolf's head.

"Senior brother, you think too beautifully!" With Shen Tong's deep voice, a flying knife that seemed to be completely condensed by the shadow of blood flashed away in the air.

With a "dang" sound, sparks flew on the shield raised by Lei Luo. With a terrible roar, the flying knife swept out of a whirling arc, slashing off the heads of the other two corpse puppets.

"It's over!" Gao Chen didn't expect Shen Tong to refine the Soul Killing Knife to this point, and secretly screamed badly.

Shen Tong withdrew the flying knife, whistling slightly and waving his short staff, and an auxiliary spell fell on the silver wolf.

The two silver wolves had broken free from the claws of the corpse puppets, and under the stimulation of auxiliary spells, their bodies had nearly doubled, and their virtual bodies had become solid, and even their hair was dyed with a layer of bloodthirsty red.

Lei Luo bore the brunt of the blow, and the shield in his hand was hit hard, slamming back on the head, and he immediately fell straight to the ground. Seeing that he was no longer moving, the silver wolf turned and pounced on the two corpse puppets behind him.

At that moment, Lei Luo suddenly stood up again, and the long sword stabbed out like a poisonous snake, plunging into the back of a silver wolf's head. Then he drew his sword and stabbed again without stopping, and struck like the wind, twisting the other silver wolf who had not yet noticed the abnormality into starry shavings.

Facing this corpse puppet that could pretend to be dead, Gao Chen and Shen Tong couldn't help but be dumbfounded. Although he is a wizard, he can't help but feel that the wilderness he is in at the moment is ghostly, cold and terrifying.
