Along the way, wherever Huo Hai passed, people who saw the skeleton army fled one after another. When passing through villages and towns, the people inside fled in panic. The few who were trapped could only hide at home and tremble.
But later, everyone finally realized something was wrong: "It's strange, these skeletons never seem to hurt anyone, they are just passing by."
Hearing this, a sloppy old man next to him nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes, when these skeletons surrounded me, I thought I was dead, and maybe I would become one of these things in the future. "But who knew that these skeletons would ignore me after passing by. I'm really, really lucky." The old man looked happy.
"Nonsense, why was a friend of mine killed by these skeletons?" A big man yelled with a look of grief and anger. Others immediately focused their attention on the big man. Seeing this attracted everyone's attention, especially the big man. Filled with righteous indignation.
"When I saw these skeletons, a friend of mine thought he was going to die. He originally thought that he would fight to kill a few before he died, but he was killed by these skeletons." The big man looked at these skeletons with red eyes.
The old man who just spoke immediately asked: "Is your friend attacking these skeletons?" Seeing the big man nodding, the old man said matter-of-factly: "That's no wonder. Later I asked specifically, as long as you don't take the initiative to attack these skeletons, They won't hurt anyone, but if you attack these skeletons, of course they will fight back."
No one can let others attack in vain while standing there waiting to die. The same goes for these skeletons, but along the way, no one is seen controlling these things at all. This attracts many people.
"I really don't know who made these skeletons. I have never seen anyone controlling these skeletons."
The old man just now patted his forehead: "I remembered that when I was surrounded by these skeletons, I saw something like a carriage among these skeletons. The person controlling these skeletons should be inside."
"Then, let's go over and take a look. The owner of these skeletons doesn't seem to be that cruel. I've heard that a few days ago, a master of the Spirit King who provoked these skeletons was killed by these skeletons." With these words, everyone suddenly became more interested. These skeletons, which didn't look like much, actually had the ability to kill masters in the Spirit King realm.
Masters in the spirit king realm are usually the ones they look up to. Finally, a young man said: "Why don't we follow up and have a look? Anyway, as long as we don't attack these skeletons, they won't hurt us."
These words were immediately agreed by most people, but there were still some people who did not choose to follow: "Let's forget it. Those of us who are not strong can't keep up at all, so we might as well stay here."
In the end, some people followed the team, and some did not. Most of those who followed the skeleton army gave up after following for a while, but a few kept following, wanting to see what these skeletons were going to do. What are you doing? This is not just one place where similar things happen. Countless people are doing this wherever the skeleton army passes.
Some people even heard the rumors about the skeleton army and ran directly from afar just to see what these skeletons wanted to do. Some spirit kings who thought they were quite powerful also wanted to intercept them.
As a result, a large number of skeletons were easily killed by one person with one blow. After several spirit kings died, other people did not dare to move. Anyway, as long as they did not attack these skeletons, these skeletons would not attack anyone and were as obedient as pets. .
Huo Hai did not control these skeletons at all. The skeletons just moved forward according to the predetermined route, almost walking in a straight line. It is precisely because of this that they often pass directly through some small towns and villages. After all, the ghost bone worms just split and reproduced. An ordinary person with a little bit of judgment ability, but not too smart.
Huo Hai didn't know yet that behind his skeleton army, a very large team was gradually forming. These people eventually exceeded the skeleton army itself. There were so many skeletons, but few people saw them. Passed.
In ordinary times, most people have never seen an active skeleton in their lives. Many people along the way, after hearing about it, will even open the city gates and welcome the skeletons as they pass by their towns. .
Many people even set up a table on the roadside to drink tea while watching the skeletons passing by. Walking along the way, it was like a grand military parade. Huo Hai's skeleton army almost became a scene nearby. grand event.
The non-dangerous skeleton army was like a grand performance. More and more people came from far away just to appreciate this rare skeleton march. However, Huo Hai did not let the skeletons rush on their way at all. Everything is about stability, so although the skeletons are very strong, they are really not very fast.
People outside were noisy, but not many people dared to get too close to the skeleton army, and no one dared to make noise next to the skeleton army. They were worried that their behavior would be considered provocative by the skeletons, and they would be destroyed. .
This kind of thing has happened before, so Huo Hai, who stayed in the skeleton car with very good sound insulation effect, did not notice the changes around him at all. Huo Hai had already focused all his attention on studying the secret method.
Huo Hai gradually discovered that this secret tempering method seemed to be developed from alchemy techniques. Not only did it require the fire and flame power used in alchemy refining tools, but also many of the tempering techniques were very similar to alchemy. When he was tempering his own spiritual power, Huo Hai hadn't seen it yet, but Huo Hai understood the second part of the tempering secret method.
This secret method actually uses the flame power of fire to directly refine one's own crystal nucleus as an elixir. However, the crystal nucleus is a crystal nucleus after all, not a real elixir. It is recorded in the secret method that the crystal nucleus is called It is a kind of inner elixir.
Refining this kind of inner elixir is more troublesome and requires more care, but the raw materials are not that rare. At this time, Huo Hai is controlling his star fire and carefully tempering his star core.
"It's a pity that the power of fire is too weak, otherwise the effect might be better." Huo Hai shook his head. His fire has not reached the realm of the Spirit Emperor. Now it is used to temper his star core, although the speed is still slower than his own. Slowly polishing is faster, but not much faster. It cannot improve your fire power. It is really troublesome to increase the speed of cultivation.
And this secret method is the same as other secret methods. It comes from the tempering of flames. After all, it is still a bit inferior. Although it can temper one's star core to close to the extreme, it can never reach the extreme. This is the flaw of the secret method itself.
If you want to truly reach the limit, you still need to refine it to a certain level, and then slowly polish it with basic methods. On the Tianling Continent, the various basic spiritual techniques are the best, and they are also the slowest to practice.
Anyway, there was plenty of time, so Huo Hai was not in a hurry. He calmed down and practiced and polished his own crystal core. The speed was already very fast. With a large number of prepared spiritual energy beads as assistance, Huo Hai was not worried at all. Polishing the crystal core took time, but Being stuck in the bottleneck and condensing new crystal cores will take even more time for the Spirit King masters.
It is not an easy task for a master of the Spirit Emperor realm to condense crystal cores. As there are more and more crystal cores, it will take more and more time to condense new crystal cores, and it will become more and more difficult. Large until it cannot be condensed.
Huo Hai practiced quietly along the way. The outside world saw a huge skeleton army that seemed to be commanded by no one. And no one responded or explained, so the number of people gathered around was still increasing. With.
At this time, even excluding the local people who came to watch, the number of spiritual masters who had followed all the way was close to 200,000.
"Have you heard that the Yaowang Sect is the culprit behind the creation of the Alien Beast Pill? We were all deceived before. The antidote is simply the poison used by the Yaowang Sect to enhance the effect of the Alien Beast Pill. I didn't expect that the Yaowang Sect They actually used this method to treat all of us as their test subjects. If it weren’t for their lack of strength, I would have fought them tooth and nail.”
At this time, the news about Yaowang Sect has gradually spread here, and those who followed the skeleton army have also received the news.
Some people looked strange: "No way, the Yaowang Sect actually did such a thing. Do you think these skeletons were also created by the Yaowang Sect, or are from a sect similar to the Yaowang Sect?" Made it."
"Nonsense, didn't you see those corpses over there in the bloody canyon a few days ago? These skeletons had a fight with the alien beasts, which shows that these skeletons and the alien beasts are not together at all. A friend of mine was hiding in the canyon at that time It’s here.”
"Bloody Canyon, where is that place?" Someone immediately raised the question because no one had heard of this place.
The person who just spoke immediately explained: "Isn't it the only canyon passage to the south? Now it has been renamed the Bloody Canyon." What happened back then was so bloody that all the people who came and went were attacked by strange beasts. During the massacre, many people deeply felt the bloody scene and later publicized it.
Then, the skeleton army went and killed all these alien beasts. The blood of alien beasts was different from human blood, but it was more disgusting, and it also had a strong smell of blood. People who came and went in the past few days felt this A kind of horror.
Many people would rather take a long detour than take this bloody road, so this canyon gradually turned into a bloody canyon. After hearing this, many people fell silent because of that incident , many people present have heard of it, and some people even went to see it. That kind of scene is really unforgettable.
