After crossing the border of the island, we reached a distant place that we had never set foot on before. Everything here was new to Jishan.
In this different world called the Resurrection Kingdom, most of the people are dead.
The skeletal ancestors with only skeletons left here farmed, raised cattle, built roads, built towers... and played boxing, wrestling and tribal war chess in their free time.
They are the dead without flesh and blood, but they exude a strange vitality.
"Mr. Jishan, do you want to play a game of tribal war chess?"
"Can."
In the early days, Jishan crushed the bones of the ancestors. But gradually, everyone figured out his way, and began to make Jishan suffer and defeat.
When he was in the Kingdom of the Sun, Jishan won less and lost more when playing chess.
He is an operational player and likes direct laning and team battles. Regardless of his advantages or disadvantages, he likes to take the initiative to attack.
Once you are familiar with the gameplay of Jishan, you can avoid high-risk confrontation in the early stage through operations and line switching, and control resources by exchanging space for time.
By this time, Jishan, who loves to fight hard in the lane, will no longer know how to play. The late stage is his fatal weakness and he can be easily defeated.
Jishan knew he was wrong, but he didn't change it.
Because he just likes this kind of extreme attack, beating the enemy away step by step through suffocating offensives. This is Jishan's tactics and style.
The reason why we lost was because the early team battles were not top-notch - if we were strong enough, we could defeat the opponent in the early stage alone.
Keep attacking is Thorn Mountain's creed.
Just like his genetic sequence.
Genome 7: Hunting Time] can activate hunting instinct in a short period of time.
As the evangelist sent by the Kingdom of the Sun to the Kingdom of Resurrection, Jishan's mission is to teach the locals the experience of gene activation, and to provide guidance and puzzles for learners to help them activate the gene sequence.
But the locals are almost all undead, so this becomes a difficult task.
"It still doesn't work. I can't feel the physical changes and tremors at all. Mr. Jishan, what should I do?"
"I used to think that my bones were quite light, but now I think it's better to have flesh and blood. Alas, the bones of the ancestors are indeed too weak innately."
"I drank a large dose of poison, but it still didn't work. My bones turned black...but the medicine tasted pretty good."
"Mr. Jishan, we can't open the genetic sequence, why do you still come to the Resurrection Kingdom? It's useless to teach us, we can't learn."
This is a good question.
Thorn Mountain actually just drew lots to get the Resurrection Kingdom.
Other preachers either went to major cities in the Yao Kingdom's headquarters, or to Shacheng, or Blood Hill.
Only he and his two companions were drawn to the Resurrection Kingdom.
The King of Light warned them.
"The Resurrection Kingdom is a young kingdom. Although most of the people there are the dead, I hope you don't get discouraged and give up. You are the pioneers of the gene sequence acting on the dead. If you sow the seeds and knowledge of gene activation, you may not be unable to have others in the future.
I wish you all the best with your progress."
pity.
Blessings are blessings, reality is reality.
The deceased indeed had no response to the genetic sequence.
Jishan is still preaching everywhere.
The Bone Ancestors may not be able to activate the gene sequence, but they also have the right to learn and try. The knowledge related to gene activation originated from the Kingdom of the Sun, but belongs to all the people of Yao.
He is more of a step-by-step guide to the local Yao people. This group of people are still flesh and blood and can activate genetic sequences.
Jishan stayed in Kencheng and became friends with the local mage Andre.
Andre's activation was not smooth, and he was tortured by poison many times. Fortunately, his wife, the vampire Alyosha, was an excellent doctor and saved her husband many times.
In the end, with the guidance and help of Jishan, Andre successfully completed the gene activation.
He obtained Gene Sequence 2: Enhanced Perception].
This ability allows the mind to operate at high speed in a short period of time, making it stand out from the rest of the group.
In Andre's own words.
"Sometimes, when I use this ability, I feel like the people around me are moving in slow motion. I can grasp and know what they are going to do next."
"My body has never been more flexible and light. My eyes can see every flapping of mosquito wings, I can hear the burrowing and gnawing sounds of underground moles, and the wind blows on me every time.
Every hair can be clearly sensed, as if seeing the truth of the whole world for the first time..."
When describing the use of sensory enhancement, Andre's face would show a brilliance that he had never seen before, and he was excited about it.
In the genetic system, everyone has their own areas of preference.
The King of Light is the all-powerful amplification, Andre is the sensory detection, Alyosha is the blood analysis, and Thorn Mountain is the hunting instinct...
After activating the genes, if you continue to use and explore them according to their respective sequences, you can further increase the power of the gene sequences and exert amazing effects.
While staying in Kencheng, Jishan had been compiling manuals. He recorded the successful experiences of Andre and others in writing and drew corresponding pictures.
This book called "Gene Activation Simple Instructions" was printed by the Shachengdi Newspaper Office at the request of Jishan. Tens of thousands of copies were sent to several cities in the Resurrection Kingdom.
Also driven by Thorny Mountain, some of the Bone Ancestors are still looking for ways to activate genes and find a way forward for their ethnic group.
In fact, there is another group in the Resurrection Kingdom that can activate the genetic sequence.
That is the dwarves of the Anvil Federation.
They have strong bodies, strong resistance to blows and poison, and have tenacious will and determination. These are all excellent warrior qualities.
Unfortunately, the short-bearded people are not interested in genetic sequencing.
"We dwarves have strength. We don't mess around with our bodies. The dwarves' bodies are the best!"
"As long as there is beer, iron felt, hammers, and ores, this world is enough! Cheers, man!"
"Rather than becoming a powerful warrior, I want to become an excellent barber."
"Yes, barbering is the unique talent of people with short beards! A real man should be a barber!"
…
The dwarves have their own innovations in hairstyles and beards, but they are traditional and conservative in many aspects. They have their own ethnic cognition and interests, and their lives are step-by-step, and they rarely interact with other ethnic groups.
This gave Jishan a headache.
If the opponent were a bear, he would be happy to wrestle and fight with it, but the enemy the preacher had to face in his work was invisible, making Jishan unable to attack him.
Among the many dead, one person persisted with a clear stand.
"No dead person has ever completed gene activation? I want to try."
This man is called Siddal. He is a pure local dead, a former bodyguard of the apostle Ms. Cat Grass, and a hero. He once challenged the martyrdom god in the legendary Kashima Shrine.
Now, Sidharth wants to climb new heights.
Jishan told him: "Gene activation needs to be tempered with special poisons to stimulate the body's flesh and blood, thereby stimulating the dormant potential. The unfolding of this potential is the genetic sequence. You lack flesh and blood, and if you want to activate, then
You must first possess a body of flesh and blood.”
For Jishan's advice, Siddal expressed his gratitude: "What I want to find is the path of all the ancestors with bones. If there is no flesh and blood, we will make it ourselves!"
"I wish you success, and if there's anything I can do to help, just ask."
"Then give me some more toxins for activation."
Then the skeleton warrior wearing a wide-brimmed leather hat left.
Every once in a while, Siddal will discuss his progress with Jishan and ask him for advice, hoping to get some suggestions and opinions.
This continued for six years, and this time Siddal found Thorny Mountain again.
His form is completely different.
Siddal's originally thin and hollow body of bones became full and substantial, and his body was filled with dense grass, making him look like a grotesque scarecrow.
"Mr. Jishan, I succeeded!"
The skeleton hero's voice became much richer than before.
Jishan observed it carefully and said in surprise: "Barnyard grass monster? Have you integrated these barnyard grass monsters into your body? Do they treat them as flesh and blood?"
"good."
The other party nodded: "As you know, I first thought about using more bones to serve as blood and muscles, but I couldn't do it because bones are not liquid and do not have the ability to be flexible and grow. Filling in a large number of small bones will make the
My hands and feet are uncoordinated and it’s difficult to even walk.”
"Later, I tried to use clay, plaster and copper to make flesh and blood, but it still had no effect. It just increased the stiff weight. Unless it is a rare and powerful being like the Black Devil, there is no material that can replace flesh and blood.
"
"By chance, I discovered that the barnyard grass monster is actually very suitable for the physique of the Bone Ancestors."
"Barnyard grass monsters are a relatively simple and pure life. They only care about soil, sunlight and water. If their survival is not affected, they don't mind living with the surrounding trees, insects and beasts. Even if they are peed on by animals,
They don't care if they get stepped on."
"look."
Siddal moved his arms.
The intertwined blades of grass in its bones were like a more refined and dry muscle bundle. They tightened, relaxed, and changed direction as he moved. They were indeed extremely flexible.
"As long as they get used to each other for a period of time, they can achieve symbiosis with the barnyard grass monsters, and they will be happy to get more sunlight and supplies."
"After achieving coexistence and physical connection with them, the next step is the most difficult use of toxins."
Talking about this, Siddal's skull grinned: "This is not easy, Mr. Jishan. Fortunately, I got a lot of toxins from you. I tried again and again... The toxins not only have to have an effect on my bones.
, it must also have a synchronized effect on the barnyard grass monster."
"I kept failing, but I eliminated many wrong methods. Fortunately, you had a lot of suggestions and immediate corrections, otherwise I might have died of toxin accumulation long ago."
"Of course, this is also thanks to the new magic potion from the Yao Kingdom Temple Association. The Yao tribe scholars have improved the toxin. Master Maocao continues to give it to me and gives me priority to try... This is not my success alone, but
It is the result of the joint efforts of the Kingdom of Yao, the Kingdom of the Sun, the Kingdom of Resurrection, and you, Mr. Jishan."
"Now, let me show you the sequence of the Bone Ancestors."
A green will-o'-the-wisp flickered in Siddal's eye hole.
The bones all over his body stretched and expanded violently, and the barnyard monsters in his body also grew crazily, wrapping around the bones layer by layer, twisting into strong and flexible muscle lines.
At this time, Siddal had turned into a 5-meter-tall green giant covered in white gas.
A layer of hard dark green cuticle grew all over his body, like a large mummy wrapped in rough cloth.
But unlike Mu Nayin's stiffness, Siddal's body in giant form is flexible and lean, with dark green stripes intertwined into tense muscles and rough skin.
"This is the exclusive sequence of the Bone Ancestors."
The giant Siddal looked down at the stunned Thorn Mountain on the ground. He moved the ten fingers on his broad arm and exhaled a white breath.
