Chapter one hundred and ninety-eight of the trough accident
Zaire told Liu Yifei that there were eight magic nodes in total, which were basically evenly distributed around the Forest of Bones. After a careful investigation, Liu Yifei could see that these eight locations could eventually form a relatively neat circle.
Knowing that the magic circle is usually circular, Liu Yifei can have a rough idea of the selection of these eight points.
What's terrible is that five of these eight locations have been set up as sentinel camps by the local zombie lord, which makes Liu Yifei very depressed.
These sentinel camps are not large in size. They are usually guarded by two or three "soldier commanders" and about thirty "soldiers". However, these "soldier commanders" are all real spiritual ranks, and those soldiers?
.....The lowest-level ones are all marquis-level vampires! Liu Yifei was really jealous and jealous when he saw it.
The environment in the racial secret realm is like this. If you can have a certain number of subordinates, you can level up very quickly! After all, the wild monsters you farm are all bosses. As long as you let your subordinates give the final blow to you, you can get enough finishing experience.
Players are excited
However, once you receive a difficult mission, it will really kill you, because the opponents you encounter are so strong that any player can be intimidated!
There are more than a dozen spirit-level beings in the five camps, plus nearly two hundred middle- and high-level mercenaries whose strength is close to the highest quality. Liu Yifei even saw a Dracolich in one place!
My dear mother
Liu Yifei knows the strength of this thing better than anyone else!
Killing the enemy is like an autumn wind sweeping away the fallen leaves! If you are in a hurry, sprint back and forth into the crowd and you can kill a lot of them with the instant death aura. However, if you have to fight with this thing... it is not ordinary disgusting.
After thinking about it for a while, Liu Yifei felt that this matter should not be done recklessly!
Not to mention the enemy's garrison, which was much stronger than him, if his actions alarmed the opponent's boss, and that legendary zombie came out and struggled with him, Liu Yifei was afraid that he had finally managed to gather them together.
All my men will die this time!
After sorting out the situation carefully several times, Liu Yifei had no choice but to go back to the Ghost Cemetery and report to Zaire...
"So...you want to betray my trust in you?"
No matter how Liu Yifei described the enemy's strength as being far beyond his ability to deal with it, Zaire, the great ghost, refused to let go, as if Liu Yifei's failure to sacrifice his life for him meant that his enemy was being unreasonable.
For this person, Liu Yifei was completely speechless.
Liu Yifei used to think that the NPC lords in the main material plane were unreasonable. Now he really realized that those guys were quite "mild" and would always be more or less polite to the players.
The NPCs in these racial secret realms are really nothing! They are so unreasonable that they are even more hateful than the most idiotic player and make you want to punch them!
Fortunately, Liu Yifei also prepared a remedial plan. Seeing that he couldn't deal with it, he had to say cautiously:
"Lord Zaire, I will never betray your trust.
It's just that this villain has just come here, and his strength is really limited. As you can see, I have been training hard these days, but unfortunately my strength growth is still limited.
Although my subordinates have recovered from their injuries, their strength itself is really not worth mentioning. Even if we really fight to the death, we cannot really help you complete your mission.
Especially since the opponent also has a legendary lord standing guard, once our attack alarms the opponent, he will definitely kill us immediately!
Therefore, in my humble opinion, if you want to complete your revenge this time, you still have to ask your Excellency to take action..."
"Huh, waste! Do you still need to explain such a simple truth?
Although my skeleton spirit formation can suppress the opponent's strength, even if his strength is reduced to one-tenth of its original strength, you may not be able to deal with him with your abilities.
When your mission is completed, I will naturally take action against him."
Zaire glanced at Liu Yifei contemptuously and said proudly.
"Um...sir
That's not what I mean. I mean...if I want to successfully lay the trap...I...I need you to show up once, and then..."
"You want to use me as bait?"
Before Liu Yifei could say anything, Zaire asked in a cold voice with a fierce gleam in his eyes.
"The villain dare not!
It's just... if you want to achieve something big, you always have to take a little risk..."
Liu Yifei didn't expect this Zaire to be so sensitive. He guessed that as soon as he revealed a little meaning, he immediately felt the dark wind in the large tomb. His ears were filled with the cruel screams of countless innocent souls, and he was afraid that he would say something wrong again.
If he did, the big ghost in front of him might kill him on the spot!
"...What's more, the enemy we have to deal with this time is a super strong person on the same level as you, Mr. Zaire?
What I mean is that it is up to you, my lord, to fake defeat and retreat after contacting the opponent. It is best to lure the enemy away, and then let us place the magic crystal as soon as possible.
When our mission is completed, my lord, you will pretend to be panicked and escape at all costs to lure the enemy into the situation..."
"Hmph! Useless trash!
Do you think your opponent is that stupid and will be fooled so easily?
Besides, how do I know if you are a damn double agent who has colluded with my enemies to plot against me?
Lure him away...
What if he has already prepared a trap for me to fall into?
hehe
Liuyun, do you know why I am so powerful today?
Very simple, because I am careful enough!
Only by being careful enough can I survive in this land of constant killings. Only by being careful enough can I have enough time to grow.
If I were an adventurous guy, I would have been completely annihilated a thousand years ago. How could I be standing here talking to you?
snort"
After roughly listening to Liu Yifei's plan, the big ghost left his throne and slowly rotated around Liu Yifei. But every time he glanced at Liu Yifei, his eyes were like the sharpest needle light, which caused Liu Yifei's heart to tremble.
I had a chill, and I was really afraid that the boss would kill me first if he didn't like me.
"Damn, I actually met a master with a shrinking head! It's over this time..." Liu Yifei wailed in his heart
But what surprised him was that just when Liu Yifei thought he was going to die today, the other party's tone suddenly changed.
"But, your plan is not without merit...
Of course. My dear subordinate, in order to ensure that your inner thoughts are absolutely consistent with your words and deeds, we can use some other methods to improve our mutual trust.
After all, if we can't even have enough trust in an operation that requires precise coordination, it will definitely be very disadvantageous for both of us."
Hovering in front of Liu Yifei, the great ghost Zaire said condescendingly.
"Ah? What...what can I do?"
"Sign a master-servant soul contract with me! You and all your subordinates!"
At this moment, the great ghost seemed to have turned into an evil devil. It enveloped Liu Yifei's whole person with the most naked and undisguised evil intention, and even made him feel a chill in his hands and feet, and even his face turned white!
Master-servant soul contract!
Liu Yifei couldn't help but feel hesitant...
The soul contract is completely familiar to today's players. It can be as small as a hunter capturing a pet, or as large as a huge trade in which both parties sign a fair contract in the game. Generally speaking, it can be regarded as a "soul contract".
Not to mention various trade contracts that are recorded on parchment and notarized by the system as an intermediary. For example, hunters capturing pets is a simple example.
The hunter must first weaken the capture target. It is best to use some negative debuffs to weaken the capture target's will or spirit so that it cannot concentrate on resisting the contract.
Once captured successfully, a "master-servant contract" is automatically concluded between the pet and its owner.
The master-servant contract is extremely coercive. It basically means that the owner controls the life and death of the target. Although mistreating the pet to a certain extent will cause the pet's "favor" to seriously decline and lead to "defection", but usually before the pet successfully defectes,
There will be a short "struggle time", which is the struggle of the target creature trying to resist the master-servant contract.
At this time, the most direct thing the owner can do is to "execute" his pet or servant directly. In short, he would rather kill the other person than let him escape.
The reason why it has such a powerful effect is precisely because when signing the master-servant contract, a small part of the servant's soul enters the master's body, and through the connection of this part of the soul, the master can completely obliterate the servant's entire soul.
For example, Grigory and Sandro had a master-servant contract before, and the coercive power of the contract was obvious to all.
Due to some "accidents", the master dies but the servant does not. At this time, the servant generally only has three consequences. 1. Because a small part of his soul dies with the master, the body dies immediately; 2. Because the master's consciousness
The lack of one can break free from the shackles of the master-servant contract in an instant; third, the soul state is incomplete, the power is constantly lost, and the strength is rapidly declining.
Both Gregory and the former captain of the Black Knight belong to a relatively special third category of situations.
The reason for this is naturally because Sandro took the initiative to silence himself after being prepared, and was not destroyed by the enemy in the battle. Therefore, the soul fragments of his servants were only "hidden".
In short, players don’t need to understand this thing in too much detail, but for NPCs, concluding a master-servant soul contract is a very serious matter. It is worse than selling oneself into slavery. Generally speaking, one must be cautious and cautious.
Only after careful consideration can you make a decision.
And Liu Yifei never expected that one day he would be forced by an NPC to conclude a soul contract! And he would still have to be a "servant"! This is simply unheard of!
However, no matter how surprised he was, he could not change the established fact. Just by seeing Zaire staring at him fiercely, Liu Yifei could clearly feel that if he dared to refuse, there was no guarantee that this big ghost would not use some special methods.
Find a way to clean yourself up...
"Well...respected Lord Zaire, is...is this necessary?
I am sincerely willing to serve you. Your request..."
"What? Are you scared? Or are you feeling guilty???"
Zaire took two steps closer and was almost face to face with Liu Yifei.
"Holy crap! Is this guy really serious? I haven't signed a master-servant contract with Thoradre. How can I be surrendered by a little legend like you? Isn't this a lie!!!"
Liu Yifei roared unwillingly in his heart, but it was a pity that the situation was stronger than the person. No matter how unwilling he was, it seemed that he could not escape this disaster today...
"...With my power, I call you by your true name! I, Zaire Suweig Foanbit. I swear by my true name that I will conclude a sacred contract with you, Liuyun, and take you as my
Servant, I will give you my blessing, and I will follow you from now on. It is a contract to belong to the master and servant."
After Liu Yifei agreed to the other party's "request" with a grimace, Zaire began to chant solemnly. Every time he chanted another sentence, his body emitted a softer light. The faint blue light seemed to be able to penetrate directly through the human body.
As if reflected in Liu Yifei's soul, his body began to emit a bright light, and when the other party finished reciting, a corresponding oath immediately followed in Liu Yifei's mind.
"In my name, I respond to your call! I, Liuyun, swear by my real name, to conclude a sacred contract with you, Zaire Suweg Foanbit, to serve you as my lord and to offer my loyalty,
From then on, we follow each other and belong to the master and servant, contract."
After Liu Yifei subconsciously recited the corresponding mantra, he clearly saw a sudden sway in the bright blue light emitting from his body, and then split into a misty light gray air mass, forming between the two of them.
Connected by blue light ties, it slowly floats towards Zaire.
A light gray "branch" that looked like a tentacle also stretched out from Zaire's body, as if it was going to immediately accept the "soul fragments" that Liu Yifei had split off.
While this strange scene was happening, Liu Yifei quickly opened his status panel to check.
Because he just clearly felt that when the gray smoke floated out from his body, his consciousness was severely blurred, as if someone had kicked him hard from the back of the head! Although this feeling was fleeting,
, but it still made Liu Yifei worried for a while.
It was okay for Liu Yifei not to look at the status panel. As soon as he looked at it, his heart suddenly burst out with a "fuck"! He almost burst out of his mouth!
Liu Yifei's self-cultivation is absolutely beyond words. Even when his hometown was raided by the Blood Moon Black Cloud on the strategic map, Liu Yifei was not broken. But this time Liu Yifei really couldn't help it, because he actually
I found that the upper limit of my three soul slots has been reduced by more than one tenth!!!
Originally, the upper limit of Liu Yifei's soul power gauge was one thousand, but after staying in the racial secret realm for a while, the upper limit has gradually been raised to 1020.
Although the increase was not obvious, it was enough to make Liu Yifei happy!
After all, the power of the soul is self-evident, and what Liu Yifei is raising at this moment is the upper limit of the entire soul power tank. The three bars added up are equal to an increase of 60 points of soul power, which is enough for Liu Yifei to punch twice more!
Considering that you may be able to increase your soul power gauge in the future, such an improvement effect is even more rare.
However, now that he has split part of his soul power, the upper limit of the soul power tank has been reduced to 900!!! Liu Yifei suddenly felt like he had been robbed!
Not long ago, Liu Yifei was robbed of countless properties by His Majesty the Sunsleeper, and he didn't feel too heartbroken. However, this incident really made Liu Yifei feel depressed and wanted to vomit blood!
After all, money and so on are always external things, but the reduction of strength... will really have a great impact on oneself!
If it hadn't been agreed with Zaire that the two parties would terminate the soul contract after the mission was completed, Liu Yifei would have almost immediately wanted to log off and complain to customer service!!!
This damn game didn’t even make it clear before signing the contract!
If he had known that something like this would happen, Liu Yifei would never have agreed to the other party's unreasonable request.
However, while Liu Yifei was still complaining bitterly, an extremely incredible scene happened in the field!
The scene originally expected for Zaire to successfully "accept" Liu Yifei's soul fragment did not appear.
The moment Zaire's soul branch came into contact with Liu Yifei's soul fragment, a dazzling green burst suddenly exploded from the small gray soul sphere!
The green light didn't appear for long, but it was enough to make the originally dark and cold tomb chamber appear green!
What was even more astonishing was that Zaire, who had just come into contact with this part of the soul sphere, burst into a heart-shaking scream in an instant!
"ah"
Zaire's cry of pain was so direct that the resonance caused the entire underground tomb to begin to shake violently. A large amount of sand and dust fell, as if the entire underground space was about to collapse!
Zaire's wild shouts and the shaking in the tomb also shocked a group of Liu Yifei's subordinates who were waiting outside.
Fortunately, Liu Yifei's "generousness" finally left a little thought in the hearts of these temporary subordinates. They did not flee immediately, but rushed in one after another to see what was going on.
And the group of undead that rushed in happened to see the most amazing scene in the end!
The soul sphere split from Liu Yifei's body flashed with a green light, and suddenly a burst of deep and strange purple erupted from the inside. This purple color was like an moving octopus. It was in contact with Zaire's soul branch.
The ground rolled up and almost rushed into Zaire's soul before he could even react!
"Asshole!!! What are you doing!!!"
The most surprising person at the scene was actually not Liu Yifei, who was confused, but Zaire himself as the contract releaser!
Just for a moment when the purple light flowed up the river, he felt that the branch of his soul extending out had completely "disappeared"!
While roaring loudly, Zaire cleanly cut off that part of the soul branch, thus narrowly preventing the terrifying and weird purple light from rushing into his soul body.
What Zaire didn't expect was that after the purple light completely "infected" the part of Zaire's soul power that was cut off, it actually integrated the two original soul powers into one!
It seemed that it sensed that there was no other condensed soul power floating around, and the "soul fragments" that seemed much larger returned to their original gray and inconspicuous appearance.
Whether it was the green light that suddenly appeared before, which seemed to be violent and poisonous to Zaire, or the strange purple light that could swallow the soul, it had completely disappeared, almost as if nothing had happened.
.....
Liu Yifei's subordinates who rushed in all knew that something very strange was happening, but their knowledge was probably not enough to explain this phenomenon. In fact, let alone them, even Zaire was shocked.
Angry again! The only one in the room who roughly understood the whole story was Liu Yifei, who was completely stunned...
In the silence, the suspended soul sphere seemed to sense the resonance or call of Liu Yifei's soul body not far away.
In short, under the gaze of dozens of pairs of eyes in the field, the soul sphere, which was several times larger, slowly retracted back to Liu Yifei's body. After a while, it reintegrated into Liu Yifei's body.
Liu Yifei, who was already stunned, subconsciously opened his status panel... The rest of the place remained unchanged. But... his soul power gauge suddenly became five bars. The upper limit of each bar was
1120, the total soul power soared to 5600!
Damn it! I made a lot of money this time!!!
The first thought flashed through Liu Yifei's mind like lightning!
Damn it! I’m finished this time!!!
A second flash of lightning followed
Damn it! I am innocent!!!
Liu Yifei's mind was completely confused...
As if taking into account the fact that "outsiders" were present, Zaire, who was definitely in a state of rage, did not get angry immediately. Instead, he "suppressed" all Liu Yifei's subordinates with an almost cold approach, and then killed them one by one.
"Raise" him in front of him and force him to sign a master-servant contract with him.
Before the first black warrior who suffered disaster succumbed to the contract, the scene was like ice. Liu Yifei knew that the black warrior was probably waiting for his "employer" to issue an order. If he chose to resist, he might be in this tomb right now.
There will be a massacre (of course Zaire will massacre Liu Yifei and others. It is impossible for Liu Yifei to take advantage of the opponent just because he suffered a small blow)
Therefore, although Liu Yifei was restrained by the strong coldness conveyed from Zaire, he still asked the Black Warrior and others to follow Master Zaire's arrangements, saying that this was his and Master Zaire's plan.
After the task is completed, the master-servant contract will be terminated.
Of course, this was an agreement Zaire had made with Liu Yifei before. As for now... God knows whether Zaire, who is frightened and angry, will abide by this agreement afterwards, but what if the other party doesn't abide by it? What's the situation?
Stronger than others, Liu Yifei had to bow his head at this time
Fortunately, the other subordinates did not have a strong sense of resistance, and the subsequent contract was concluded smoothly.
After delivering their respective soul fragments, all Liu Yifei's subordinates were unceremoniously "sent" out by Zaire. As the underground tomb fell silent again, Zaire, who looked ugly and scary, stared at them again.
Fucked Liu Yifei.
"Just...what on earth did you do!"
Zaire almost growled through gritted teeth.
Needless to say, Zaire knows that Liu Yifei knows that the only reasonable explanation for what just happened is that because of the coexistence of the power of life and the power of chaos in his body, he subconsciously reacted after the soul sphere felt "contact" with the external soul.
It broke out!
First, the life force severely hit the power of death filled in Zaire's soul, which was repelling him. Then, before the other party could react, the power of chaos exploded, swallowing up all the power of the soul that the other party had separated and abandoned in one fell swoop...
..
But what you know is what you know. What should Liu Yifei say about this?
Do you still need to tell the other party that part of the souls of two legendary powerhouses are sleeping in your body, and at the same time, more than a dozen old ghosts who are not weaker than him have jointly performed soul seals, and the other party just happened to be unlucky enough to activate the soul seal in his body.
Other powers. So it was "swallowed" by part of the soul power?
It would be strange if Zaire didn't kill himself in anger!
But don't explain...
Zaire, who is clearly on the verge of going berserk now, is more likely to chop himself alive!
Am I going to have to "accidentally steal" a bunch of soul power today and then sacrifice all the men I have gathered in recent days? It seems...
Can this transaction be considered a loss?
With a sudden change in his heart, Liu Yifei began to explain the cause and effect. Of course, he didn't explain things like demons very clearly. He only said that it was because of an accident that his body was invaded by two powerful opposing forces, and then his body was invaded by two powerful opposing forces.
His Majesty, his immediate superior in the main material world, set a seal for himself. This is also the reason why he has been able to obtain permission to enter this world despite his "mediocre strength"...
During the process of Liu Yifei's narration, Zaire listened silently, but his face was still extremely ugly, and he obviously had great doubts about Liu Yifei's "explanation". From time to time, he would
He looked at Liu Yifei with extremely cold eyes, as if hesitating whether to take action to deal with this weak maggot in front of him who dared to "hurt" himself...
"So...those reactions just now were not under your conscious control?"
"Sir! The villain swears on his own soul! The villain would never dare!
Although the villain is a bit strange, in terms of power, he is not as powerful as you! With a humble existence like me, how can I dare to plot against you?
Even if I tie your hands, the villain is definitely no match for you! I hope you will believe what the villain says! The villain definitely didn’t do it on purpose!"
Liu Yifei burst into tears as he spoke and almost fell to the ground.
Facing Liu Yifei's plea, Zaire was obviously a little shaken. His hands were sometimes clenched and sometimes relaxed, as if he was hesitating whether to take action...
"Liu Yun, do you want me to give you another chance to increase your strength?"
He lowered his head and waited for a moment. Just when Liu Yifei thought that he would inevitably die, he did not expect that a question that sounded like nature but more like a joke came from above his head. There was even a moment when Liu Yifei
Everyone thought they were hallucinating
"Ah? Sir? What did you say?"
Liu Yifei raised his head, but saw that at some point, Zaire had floated back to his throne. The sinister look on his face disappeared, as if nothing had happened, and he just calmly asked again. Once again:
"I asked, do you want another chance to grow your soul power..."
Everything that happened in the next two days was like a dream.
After the "accident" happened that day, all of Liu Yifei's subordinates were "taken away" by Zaire without exception, and became subordinates who signed a master-servant soul contract with him, but were temporarily under Liu Yifei's command.
However, Zaire did not blame Liu Yifei for his previous disrespect. He even stopped Liu Yifei's original task of placing the magic crystal, and just asked him to station himself above the tomb with his subordinates and not to leave for the next two days.
Although not being able to leave the Ghost Cemetery greatly reduced Liu Yifei's leveling efficiency, Liu Yifei originally planned to use these two days to complete Zaire's mission, so it doesn't matter if he earns less.
And because his own strength has greatly improved, he can also level up the ghost bosses and monsters outside that are level 30 or 50 by himself.
Although the experience will be discounted a lot, the boss is the boss, and it will not give out experience at all just because the level difference is too large. Although the experience given is not much, it is still much faster than leveling up in the main material world, so Liu Yifei While adapting to his new power for a while (since his soul power has improved a lot, Liu Yifei also increased his mental attributes from the previous 300 to 500, which increased the instant burst of soul power from 30 to 50. It was greatly strengthened. own melee lethality), while continuing to practice his "melee skills".
During these two days, Zaire, who had been bored in the underground tomb, would summon Liu Yifei from time to time to assist him in his "work".
Liu Yifei discovered that in the past two days, Zaire seemed to have added a huge magic circle with unknown purpose in the tomb. However, before he was about to go offline the next day, Zaire's "research work" was finally completed. , and Liu Yifei finally figured out the purpose of this magic circle. It was actually... used to extract Liu Yifei's soul fragments...
Running and maintaining this magic circle seems to be a difficult task even for an absolute powerhouse like Zaire. The maintenance time of each magic circle is only about ten minutes. During this period, only a total of Liu Yifei's soul fragment was worth about 100 points of soul power.
But what surprised Liu Yifei was that what was reduced after the magic circle was extracted was not Liu Yifei's soul power stock, but the upper limit of his soul power grid was directly reduced!
After hard work on that day and the first half of the next day, a total of 2,200 upper limit soul power was taken away from Liu Yifei. As a result, Liu Yifei's soul power grid, which had once expanded to more than five grids, shrank to three grids.
However, Zaire has already made it clear that this time he will "help" Liu Yifei gain greater power. In fact, even if the other party doesn't say so, Liu Yifei doesn't dare to resist and can only let the other party do what he does. Of course, after all, .In fact, Liu Yifei’s real loss was not big.
And what Zaire used to store Liu Yifei's soul fragments... turned out to be the soul gem that Liu Yifei knew!
It's just that compared to ordinary soul gems used to hold soul power, these gems used to hold Liu Yifei's soul fragments seem to be much larger and more exquisite.
And Zaire... directly called these "finished products" "soul bombs". Liu Yifei was sweating profusely!
And vaguely, Liu Yifei seemed to have realized what Zaire was going to use these soul bombs for...
In the afternoon of that day, which was the afternoon of the last day before Liu Yifei was about to leave the deserted land, Zaire "bravely" appeared in the sky outside the Forest of Bones.
The appearance of this old rival obviously immediately alerted the zombie lord who had been hiding in the Forest of Bones recently and never showed up.
Liu Yifei and the others didn't have to wait long before a large army came out from the Forest of Bones! Looking from a distance...
What kind of zombie lords, what kind of marquis-level vampires, what kind of great corpse witches, and even a considerable number of terrifying knights, densely packed together! There are nearly four thousand in total!
In addition to these powerful "soldiers", there are more than twenty spirit-level undead sergeants walking in front of the team!
Of course, all the enemies followed closely behind a huge figure at the front.
No need to ask, this guy must be the "enemy" of Zaire
As soon as he saw Zaire in the sky, the huge old zombie immediately opened his half-rotten mouth and spit out a sentence:
"What? A coward? Do you finally dare to come out of your shabby tomb and die..."
(To be continued...)
