Chapter 16: The Cave of Corpses
Lanya lay in the cave, squinting his eyes, silently sensing the wind hole, these days, because of the conflict with the evil ghost and demon bird clan, the training of the wind howling valley has also been temporarily stopped, all the little demon dogs are strictly restricted from going out, Lanya had to try to sense the wind hole in the cave, although the effect is much worse, but it is still slowly improving, after all, Lanya has successfully sensed the wind hole, and what he needs to do now is nothing more than to gradually expand his sensing range.
The Demon Bird Clan is a powerful monster clan in the Bone Forest that is no less than the Demon Dog Clan, and it has been in conflict with the Dog Clan for many years because of the problem of territory and prey, and the conflict is getting worse these days, and in the last few conflicts, both clans have died of core members of the adult demon beast level.
A big war seemed inevitable.
Since that day, the vigilance on the Yantu Mountain has been significantly strengthened, and the number of gray-skinned dogs patrolling within a radius of several miles has obviously increased a lot compared to before, and even adult demon dogs can occasionally be seen guarding and guarding in secret.
The hunting team has stopped going out to hunt these days, and all the demon dogs are waiting for it.
Lan Ya was sternly told by his mother Lan Luo that he was absolutely not allowed to leave the range of Yantu Mountain recently.
For this monster war that may break out at any time, Lanya, who is still a little demon dog, has no way to influence it, and the only thing he can do is to improve his strength as soon as possible, and add some self-protection to himself in the upcoming crisis as much as possible.
At present, the branch task three given by the system may be the fastest way for Lanya to improve his strength, so Lanya is very concerned about the refining of the three staff of demon weapons.
There are two main conditions for the refining of the first demon head of the three staffs, one is the head of the monster in good condition, and the other is the backlit and windless corpse accumulation ground.
The head of the youkai has already chosen the head with the missing ears, and it is only waiting for an opportunity to steal it, so only the search for the corpse is left.
The place of accumulation of corpses is a terrifying place where corpses have accumulated over the years.
But where corpses are accumulated, there will inevitably be corpse gas, gloomy winds, and ghosts, and even those places with a long history of corpses, it is not surprising that demon-level evil ghosts and fierce spirits are born.
Lanya easily found the place where the corpses were accumulated.
It stands to reason that such a place should be very difficult to find, and it is also considered good luck for Lanya, but there is such a corpse cave behind the mountain of the dog demon clan, which is an open underground cave, and has been used by the dog demon clan to discard the corpses of prey for thousands of years.
And the corpses of those evil ghosts and demon birds, not surprisingly, will also be discarded into this underground cave.
Lanya walked out of the cave and looked at the top of Yantu Mountain.
The top of the Yantu Mountain is the residence of several leaders of the dog clan, and generally speaking, even adult demon dogs will not step into it without permission, but these days it is extremely lively, and there are constantly serious face demon dogs coming in and out, as if they are discussing something important.
Lan Ya frowned, feeling the tense atmosphere of the impending war, he came to the platform halfway up the mountain, and found that the corpses of many evil ghosts and demon birds that had been placed on the platform had disappeared, and the many gray-skinned dogs that had originally guarded the corpses of the demon birds had also disappeared without a trace.
Have you been discarded in a cavern?
Lanya was overjoyed, turned his head and quietly walked towards the corpse cave in the back mountain.
......
"Quack!"
A few crows made annoying cries from the dead trees.
Ranya wagged his tail out of the tall and deep jungle, and a short distance in front of him, under the rock wall, a bare, dark cavern appeared in front of him, and there was no vegetation around the cave.
This is the corpse cave of the canine clan.
As soon as he stepped into the first step of the corpse cave, the breath of corpse decay came to his face along with the strong yin qi accumulated in the corpse cave over the years, and the black and strong yin qi was almost visible to the naked eye.
This level of yin qi, if ordinary humans step in, I am afraid that they will fall down after a few steps, but it will be corroded into white bones in a moment or three, even if Lan Ya walks in, they will shiver from time to time, and it is difficult to avoid the erosion of yin qi.
Walking in the gloomy underground passage of the corpse cave, the light decreases at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the darkness becomes thicker and thicker, but the further you go underground, the passage becomes more and more open, and finally it suddenly opens up, forming a vast underground cavern.
The cave was densely packed with all kinds of rotting and dilapidated corpses, some of which were still fresh, and some of which had already turned into white bones, some of these corpses were just ordinary beasts, and some of the skeletons were extremely huge, obviously from powerful demon beasts.
A dark green phosphorus fire floated in the cavern, reflecting the entire cavern in an eerie green.
Ranya soon discovered his target, and the corpse of the demon bird with missing ears was not far away.
Lanya looked around and found that there were many monsters in this corpse cave, whose heads were even bigger than those with missing ears.
Lanya even found a hideous head the size of a small house, with white fangs and thick black manes, which was the head of the pig demon craftsman who was killed by the big boss Lan Gu a few days ago.
Wouldn't it be even better if the head of the pig demon craftsman could be used to refine the three staffs? Lan Ya was a little moved.
He approached the head of the pig demon craftsman, trying to input demon qi and trying to refine it in the same way as refining the three staffs, and after a moment, Lan Ya showed a regretful expression.
The attempt failed.
The refining of the three canes is not that the bigger the head, the better, firstly, it needs to be in good condition, that is, the head of the monster must be kept as intact as possible, and the head of the pig demon craftsman has been slightly corrupted, and secondly, with Lanya's current level of demonic energy, the head of the evil ghost and demon bird is already the limit of what he can refine.
Coming to the dead Missing Ear, Lan used his claws and teeth, almost exhausted, before he broke his tough flesh and got his head off.
Dragged his head to a clearing in the cave, and according to the method given by the system, Lan Ya bit his front paws, and smeared the demon blood on the hideous head of the evil ghost and demon bird according to a specific pattern, and the bleeding front paws slashed through the beautiful blue skin of the evil ghost and demon bird, and the demon qi slowly seeped into it.
It took almost half a day for Lanya to successfully paint the lines on the head of the demon bird, and during this period, because of the strong recovery ability of the monster's physique, Lanya had to bite the front paws again several times, squeezing the demon blood to flow out again.
Eventually, the skull of the demon bird was all painted with intricate and mysterious patterns.
The moment all the lines were smeared, Lan Ya suddenly had an extremely strange feeling, and in a trance, he seemed to see this hideous head that had been dead for a long time actually smiled and winked at him.
Araiya's heart sank, and he took a few steps back, looking at it seriously, trying to find the source of that strange feeling.
It took a long time for Lanya to figure out where this strange feeling came from.
The dead and lifeless demon bird head in front of him actually seemed to have vitality at this time, although it was still placed there motionless, but it gave him a strange sense of living things.
It's like you're secretly peeking at him, it's very weird.
Lan Ya took a deep breath, understanding that this feeling was probably caused by that strange pattern, and without thinking about it, he began to complete the second step of the refining task, injecting his demonic qi somewhere into the center of the demon bird's skull.
The front paws are attached to the forehead of the skull, and the demon qi is continuously injected, and then it is absorbed and digested by a mysterious place somewhere in the skull, opening up a small space, which is a relatively long process, fortunately, after completing the demon bone strengthening task, Lanya's demon qi has also increased a lot, otherwise he will not be able to persevere.
Just when Lanya's demonic qi was almost exhausted and he couldn't hold on, the demon bird's head finally stopped absorbing demonic energy, and Lanya breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that this step was completed.
At the same time, all the yin qi in the underground cave poured into the earless head as if it had been summoned, converging into a black vortex visible to the naked eye above the demon bird's skull, and the black mist poured into the demon bird's head in an endless stream.
