A red sun slowly rose into the sky. If he had not seen the sun rise with his own eyes and the sunlight shining through the black fog, Zhao Guanren would never have believed that four and a half years had passed in the blink of an eye.
"It's only been four and a half years. Nothing will happen to Yueyue and the others..."
Zhao Guanren sat on a pile of skulls, stroking his chin in confusion. Although he was full of energy now and his injuries had healed long ago, he had not grown much beard in more than four years, and even his watch was running very fast.
Happy, the calendar still shows the day of the decisive battle.
However, he clearly remembered that when he split the soul-suppressing bead with a knife, he was sucked into the soul-suppressing tower in a flash of white light, and fell asleep drowsily while holding Li Shishi. When he opened his eyes again, it was still the same.
The posture was just buried under a pile of dead skulls.
"Brother-in-law! My sister is definitely not dead..."
Li Shishi said firmly: "The Seven Evils were the furthest away from us at that time. When the Seven Demon Kings attacked us, she had already taken my sister and ran away. She should have guessed that after the soul-suppressing beads shattered, there would be a very terrifying explosion, so she ran away
It's faster than a rabbit!"
"senior!"
Ponytail Julie said: "Qi Sha was seriously injured and retired the year before last. She asked General Xuanyuan to injure her natal fire, which means that after you destroyed the Skeleton Tower, she still commanded the Seventh Army for two years. Your wife should be safe and sound.
, maybe... the orcs imprisoned her!"
Zhao Guanren was surprised when he heard this and said: "What Xuanyuan Divine General is born with fire? Is his born fire the will-o'-the-wisp in the eyes of zombies?"
"No! The natal fire is the source of zombies' power. It is hidden in their heavenly spirit caps, so if you crush their heavenly spirit caps, they will die..."
Julie took the trouble to explain: "Xuanyuan God is one of the ten war gods in our country, but his surname is not Xuanyuan, he is just the heir of Xuanyuan's lineage. The other seven war gods are also people of ancient bloodline.
, practice and get twice the result with half the effort!”
Li Shishi said in surprise: "Ancient bloodline? You make up mythical stories!"
"I didn't make this up, it's official news..."
Julie said: "The ten war gods are all heirs of ancient bloodlines, and they all have ancient compound surnames. They are indeed faster in cultivation than ordinary people, but now many people are just trying to make up for it and deliberately change their compound surnames, such as Ouyang, Gongsun, and Dan.
There are a lot of them!”
Zhao Guanren said disdainfully: "Oh, let's pretend to have a compound surname and trick the ignorant people into worshiping me. I can also say that I am the heir of the ancient bloodline, and my compound surname is Zuo Gao!"
Julie was confused and said: "Zuo Gao? Is there such a compound surname?"
"Hmph~ Zuo Gaomaru hurts, it must be terrible..."
Zhao Guanren patted his chest in an awesome manner, and Li Shishi immediately laughed out loud, but Zhao Guanren asked again: "Julie! What is the overall situation now? Can humans compete with the dead ghosts?"
"Somewhat reluctantly, the total population of the world has dropped by two-thirds..."
Julie smiled bitterly and said: "Our country currently has eight skeleton towers, ranking first in the world. More than half of the land has been occupied by the dead. We have also built eight large military fortresses and seventy-two small fortresses to jointly fight against the dead.
The eight legions of our clan!”
Zhao Guanren nodded and said: "This is better than I expected. At last, the clan has not been exterminated or enslaved. But how do you practice? Can any of you fly to the sky and escape from the earth?"
"No! We are not cultivators. We can only use the power of soul fire to jump long distances..."
Julie replied: "In fact, zombies were once human beings, and their cultivation methods are also suitable for us. When the first secret book was discovered on the corpse soldiers, it was quickly translated and spread. Now everyone is a cultivator.
, it’s just that everyone has different talents, most of them are not much better than before!”
Zhao Guanren frowned and said: "The power of soul fire you mentioned, does it absorb
Soul fragments to increase your own strength?"
"That's right! The power of soul fire is commonly known as soul power or fire power..."
Julie nodded and said: "We humans also have natal fire. The more soul fragments we absorb, the more powerful we are. The weapons we use also need to be infused with soul power, but now there are no soul fragments all over the sky, and the absorption speed is much slower than before.
!”
Zhao Guanren stood up and said: "Aren't you worried that if you swallow too many souls, you will one day turn into a zombie?"
"Probably not..."
Julie hesitated and said: "Nowadays, all the people are practicing cultivation. Except for those who are obsessed with madness, I have never heard of anyone being turned into corpses. However, how the dead tribe turned into corpses is still a mystery. Do you know the inside story?"
"I didn't have time to chat with them at first, so we started fighting whenever we disagreed..."
Zhao Guanren waved his hand and said: "You said too much at once and I can't digest it. Just tell me briefly, what level is the most powerful cultivator now, and how many levels are zombies divided into?"
"Zombies have four kinds of will-o'-the-wisp eyes: purple, red, yellow, and green. Each type is divided into three levels according to depth. There are twelve levels in total. Those with purple fire eyes are all Demon King level one..."
Julie said: "We humans currently have the highest level eight, and each level is divided into four sub-segments. The third and fourth levels are referred to as San Mao Si, which correspond in turn to black iron, bronze, silver, gold, platinum, diamond, star glory and king.
This is what we young people say!”
Zhao Guanren suddenly realized: "I understand now. What level are you at? Do you have a gold rank?"
"No! I'm only 4th Dan Bronze, 20 cents..."
Julie said awkwardly: "I live in Hongfeng Xiaobao, which is actually a very poor county. I don't have the money to learn from a teacher, and my talent is only average. I can only study in a public martial arts school. I work as a hired worker."
Soldiers make money because they want to have a good master!"
"Human! Even with the knife on your neck, you still don't forget to collect money..."
Zhao Guanren shook his head and lit a cigarette, looked at the young man who had been sucked into a mummy by the amulet, and asked: "How many times have the Eight Demon Kings changed generations and died? Are Bai Ming and Sadan dead?"
"The successors of the Eight Demon Kings still call these names..."
Julie said: "Bai Ming is the most powerful Demon King. I haven't heard of him being replaced. However, the Beast King Sadan has been replaced three times. All the previous old Beast Kings have died in battle, and Jiujing and Xuan Ye have also been replaced.
I don’t know how many people are left!”
Zhao Guanren turned around and said: "Shishi! Keep the amulets of Sadan, Jiuyu and Xuanye, and throw away the rest!"
"oh!"
Li Shishi took out a handful of amulets from her pocket, and Julie was stunned by the colorful amulets. She asked with great difficulty: "Senior! This... this is a legendary treasure. I have only seen it drawn in the literature.
Each one of the pictures is priceless, why are you just throwing it away?"
"If you don't throw it away and wait for death, the amulet is just a wiretapping device and a remote-controlled bomb..."
Zhao Guanren took an amulet and said: "The Eight Demon Kings can detonate the amulet with just a move of their fingers. Maybe it will be okay if the fool dies, but if I want to wear Bai Ming's amulet, that little bitch will definitely be able to detect it, as well as that dumbfounded ancient servant.
If you have a green head, you will definitely kill yourself and kill me!"
"Uh~"
Julie opened her mouth and was speechless. The Eight Demon King was a terrifying existence. Even the iron-blooded soldiers would change their expressions. But when it came to Zhao Guanren, he was like a gangster from the neighboring village. Not only had he fought with him, but also
We cursed together on the street.
"Take it from Xuanye and throw it away when you return to the city, otherwise you will be asking for trouble..."
Zhao Guanren threw a gem amulet to her. The excited Julie almost knelt down on the spot, but after Zhao Guanren said that, he walked to the large puddle at the back. When he saw that the water in the puddle was crystal clear, he washed his face happily.
, even give me a head
It's time to wash.
Li Shishi came over and took off her apron and said, "Take off your armor and I'll give you a good wipe!"
"You can't even make a lot of money by selling scrap metal for a damn piece of armor..."
Zhao Guanren took off a bunch of broken pieces of iron. His helmet had been blown up long ago. He only had two wrist guards and a pair of boots left to use. He didn't know what the boots were for, but the energy of the wrist guards had been exhausted.
Absorbing soul fragments is just two decorations.
"Oh my god! Why are there magic marks on your back..."
Li Shishi suddenly opened his back collar, and Zhao Guanren was so frightened that he quickly took off his shirt. Unexpectedly, his body was covered with black curses, but the mysterious characters were different from the magic lines.
The spell was like a black chain, wrapping around his chest and back, and centered on the heart, forming a circle like a group of snakes. It seemed to have the tendency to continue to penetrate deep into the heart, but not too much.
Exactly eighteen at least.
"Soul-Suppressing Tower! Soul-Suppressing Tower is on your back..."
Li Shishi pointed at his back and exclaimed. Julie also ran over in shock, hurriedly took out a makeup mirror from her backpack, pointed it at his back and asked him to look back.
Eighteen mantras were crisscrossed on his back, but there was a light red mark in the middle, the size of a palm. But if you look closely, you can see that the red mark is an eight-story pagoda with raised eaves, which is what it looks like after removing the skull.
Soul Resurrection Tower.
"Quickly take off your pants and take a look..."
Li Shishi shouted urgently, but after he took off his pants, the red blood demon pattern on his calf was gone, and the eighteen spells did not spread to his lower body.
"Is this a spell cast by the Eight Demon Kings on you..."
Julie looked at him with worry. Zhao Guanren was like a death row prisoner who was about to be taken to the execution ground, with a black iron chain wrapped around his body like a snake. However, the spell was still emitting a strange light, as if it was trying to kill his soul.
Like a lock.
"Soul-locking chain!"
Zhao Guanren's expression suddenly changed drastically, and he finally remembered that before he fell asleep, he heard the Lord of Darkness roaring in his ears.
'You dare to destroy my remaining soul, even if the soul-suppressing tower protects you, it will be useless. Try the soul-locking chain. As long as these eighteen soul-locking chains are closed, you will become a walking corpse...'
The Lord of Darkness said very sinisterly: "It's easy to unlock them. Just anger others and the soul-locking chain will absorb the anger directed at you, and they will gradually open. And every time I open one, I will give you a big gift."
Here you go, enjoy it slowly and don’t die easily! Haha~”
"Li Shishi!"
Zhao Guanren suddenly pointed at Li Shishi and said: "You are an old girl pretending to be cute. Don't you know that one of you has big breasts and one has small breasts? You also have body odor, bad breath and foot odor. Please be a little self-aware, otherwise you are just as the name suggests, Li Shishi
!Soaking wet!”
"you……"
Li Shishi looked at him in astonishment, and Zhao Guanren also lowered his head to look at his chest, but the soul-locking chain had no reaction. But just when he wanted to try Julie, he suddenly felt a sudden heat in his chest, and a stick
The soul-locking chain actually retreated slightly.
"Haha~ It works..."
Zhao Guanren raised his head in surprise, but he was met with a small fist and an eye-sealing hammer that knocked him to the ground.
Li Shishi jumped on him with bared teeth and claws, and roared: "You have big breasts, you have bad breath, I am a cutie, I am a beautiful girl, I will beat you to death, you bastard!"
Five minutes later...
Zhao Guanren sat on the ground with bloodstains on his face, smoking a cigarette and cursing without tears: "Hei Mo, you are a dead old ghost who has been stabbed a thousand times. If you can't kill me, you will disgust me. You actually forced me to go out to commit suicide. If you don't do it, you won't die. If you do, you will die."
