Shadow Covenant

Chapter 192 "Body Forging Soul"

The copy of the saint is different from other virtual games, the copy can be refreshed countless times, but like some kind of event, it will disappear completely after completion.

The Lost Temple is a hidden dungeon that was unearthed when the trade order was restored in the Golden River Valley. It is famous for its large number of decryptions and strong monster targeting characteristics. Outside the dead magic area, there is also a cluster of ghosts specifically for physics occupations, which can be said to have tortured the players who were attacking at the time to the point of death.

After all, they are immune to magic and physical attacks at the same time. Most professions have nothing to do with them. A copy of monster spawning was abruptly played by the attacking team as a VR escape game.

Even in the dead magic area, those warlocks who were known for digging out the magic-like abilities (supernatural) in their blood were still struggling in this dungeon at that time.

However, the main reason Woody remembered the Lost Temple was that the copy boss at that time was related to a lost god. All kinds of sacrificial items related to divine power and powerful strange objects dropped at Tongshi caused an uproar among the player groups. Unfortunately, Woody was still training in the Northland at that time, and it was too late to arrive there. The news was released less than two weeks ago. Some people succeeded in attacking the fortification with the envy of the whole place.

According to the attributes posted by the troublemakers at that time, these people were able to know that the Lost Temple was originally dedicated to a powerful natural god.

He has many titles.

"The guardian of the forest, the mother of beasts, the witness of the mountains, the master of death and life..."

Feathered snake god Balukalya.

He was born in the birthplace of the Gorgon Mountains thousands of years earlier than humans. It is said that in addition to bringing the rainy season to the local people, as well as planting, harvesting, and abundant grains, He also undertakes protection and reproduction. Local wisdom Under the enshrinement of humanoid creatures, he gradually grew into a demigod, but for some unknown reason, the humanoid creatures enshrining him disappeared, and his power gradually declined, and finally fell into a deep sleep. It was not until the temple appeared that things about him gradually disappeared. Let people know.

Woody doesn't know what happened to this god later, but what he can know is that he was still active in the mountains of the Gorgon Mountains before the dark age.

Later, Asenland fell into the continuous flames of war, and he gradually disappeared from the player's field of vision.

Woody didn't have a lot to do with him in his previous life, and he didn't know him very well.

The reason why he remembered it was because he had carefully considered various ways to obtain the pre-requisite specialties and the soul of body forging when he received the advanced reminder of the disaster blade.

The Ascension Altar that still exists outside the Lost Temple is one of the ways.

Ascension Altar, as the name suggests.

It can be exchanged for the improvement of a certain ability through sacrifices, which can be the increase of attribute points, or other aspects, such as the advancement of specialties, the increase of skills, or the improvement of soul strength.

And the necessary condition for advanced Calamity Blade, the basic requirement for forging the soul, is the strength of the soul!
To put it simply, his soul must be strong enough to resist charm spells with at least five rings or above.

Using data expertise to convert, the monk's Xinruzhishui may be almost as good as a monk, at least to the point where the six senses are clear.

This is why the disaster blade was extremely rare in the former plane.

All of them are of great perseverance.

An ordinary demon hunter like Woody, his soul is obviously not as tough as those ascetics.

And because the Lost Temple appeared much later than the Astral Whale, and it was said that it had always sunk deep underground, Woody didn't take it into consideration at that time.

But judging from the present, the power of the Feathered Serpent God has already begun to spread in the Golden River Valley before the temple appeared, and there are early signs that if you follow the steps of the previous life and follow the overflowing breath, you may be able to come sooner. Open the Lost Temple.

Originally, he planned to wait until the Northland to take a spiritual journey to cleanse the lead, similar to the ascetics among the monks, to conduct a spiritual trial, but if he can do it here in one step, Then he naturally doesn't need to torture the body and mind, and he's not shaking M.

Woody had a faint guess in his heart, but his face didn't change much, and he said calmly to the girl named Tecia in front of him.

"Even if you have power, it depends on how you use it."

This sentence is not random consolation, a veteran player with rich combat experience and a novice player each operate a professional account with a limited level at the same time, then the ending is self-evident.

"I know, otherwise, I wouldn't be able to escape there if I changed someone else."

Tesia seemed to be very satisfied with Woody's answer, or agreed with it, so he didn't show any rejection.

The two chatted for a while about the status of the Golden River Valley. Woody felt that the group of guard knights had no intention of leaving, so he asked Tesia whether he should bring something to pad his stomach.

After all, at this time, normally speaking, lunch has passed for a long time, and he has no intention of inviting her to join the Nudong Merchant Group. After all, Nudong Merchant Group is not his, so there is no need to cause trouble for it. Tesia's understanding is not deep enough, and he feels that he has not reached that level just by relying on the surface.

Of course, based on his understanding of Tesia, the little girl in front of him has her own ideas and is very independent. His proposal is likely to be declined.

But this is also normal, Woody has long been mentally prepared, if it were someone else, she might still hope for the salvation of the lord and pray for their help, but she has already found another way and walked out of her own way of salvation.

Sure enough, Tesia shook her head directly when she heard Woody's help.

"Thank you. I'm not hungry. I brought some dry bread. Soak it in water to make it soft and I can make do with it."

"That's fine."

Seeing Tesia's refusal, Woody naturally wouldn't force it, but the others had something to say. The bronze dragon Doni spoke in his mind in time, and Woody had no choice but to remind Tesia.

"By the way, it seems that this group of guards will search for a long time. If there is no accident, it will be difficult for you to leave here these days."

"When the time comes, the scope will gradually narrow. If they are still sure that you are here..."

Apparently, the bronze dragon was very worried about its human being exuding kindness, and what it implied was that it was not safe to hide here, but what it didn't expect was that the girl in front of her looked extremely confident, she shook her head and said.

"They couldn't find mine."

"And when the night recedes, they will leave naturally."

"They cannot stay out of the mist for long."

"That's good." Donnie disappeared contentedly.

Woody shook his head helplessly, perhaps this is from the worry attribute of the bronze dragon...

Of course, Woody didn't know why Tesia was confident, but he knew a truth, that is, Tesia understood the logic of this group of guards better than he did, and it was a proof that she could hide here without being discovered.

However, listening to the sound of gurgling water, Woody seemed to sense where her confidence came from.

"Don't worry, sir, I know them better than you do, and I've watched them for a long time."

Seeing Woody looking at the water in thought, Tesia thought he was still worried, so he took the initiative to pat his hand and comforted him.

"Uh... um."

Naturally, Woody would not say that he was just thinking about things, he calmly accepted the little girl's comfort.

But just when he was about to chat about Viscount Cohen for a while, the voice of the bronze dragon Doni came to his mind again.

This time her tone was sharper than before, and she was full of surprise.

"Woody, Woody, the traitor was caught on the spot!"

Transformed into a seabird, she excitedly transformed into the most common tabby cat form of Woody, and suddenly leaped from the branch to his shoulder, feeling extremely excited.

Tesia was startled by the cat that suddenly jumped out.

But Woody didn't pay attention to her expression, he put his heart and soul into what Doni said, and a relaxed smile appeared on his face after hearing the news.

Although he didn't expect it to be so fast, he didn't expect that the ghost in the Nudong business group could be found so quickly.

And it was at this time that a horn sounded from the temporary camp in the distance.

I have stayed in the Angry Winter Merchant Group for several days, and the communication has never been lacking. Naturally, Woody knows that this wild call mixed with mysterious aura is the summoning horn that belongs exclusively to the caster...

Now that Cecil has been confirmed, Woody is not curious to find out who it is, but while everyone's attention is on the Angry Winter Merchant Group, he takes this opportunity to check the group of people from River Valley City What are the guards doing.

In the communication with Tesia just now, he has roughly understood where the curse of immortality of this group of guards came from, and it should be some side effects leaked by grasping part of the authority of Balukalya, Feathered Serpent God.

After all, only this lost god, who was originally submerged in history, would carry this strange curse of immortality.

Tesia might still hope that the things she got from the elf market could save her mother, but Woody was very clear in his heart.

If Balukalya's power does not return to the temple for a day, then the curse of this land will never dissipate.

Judging from the previous life, the stolen authority should have returned to the temple intact, and from the expressions and answers of the local residents, they seemed to have no impression of this, even Viscount Cohen, he had never heard of it in the previous life.

Did you erase your memory?

While guessing the possibility, Woody went to the place searched by the guards with his own doubts and curiosity to make shallow contact. He planned to collect the breath from them to judge whether it was corruption or gift.

Now that he understands that it has something to do with Balukalya, the lost god, he has a little willingness to act, and he will not hesitate to delay for this reason.

At least he has to understand actively and passively.

Only after you understand it can you have the opportunity to trace the root cause and find out the reason behind it.

After all, there is an opportunity to advance to the Disaster Blade earlier, who wouldn't want to try it?

Moreover, if there is no accident, the ancient ring that Lani gave him in his hand seems to be able to unlock the first layer of seal here by the way.

From the perspective of Tesia in the eyes of the bronze dragon Doni, she knew that the environment in which she grew up was absolutely kind and orderly. Otherwise, she would not have been able to cultivate such a kind creature that the bronze dragon wanted to protect from the bottom of its heart.

It is not difficult to find the temporary station of the guards in River Valley City. Apart from most of the guards who are searching outside, there are also a small number of guards at the pass of the temporary camp leading to the outside road. It is obvious that there is a temporary tent set up from the Judging from the outline inside, there should be a figure lying in it.

Without even thinking about it, Woody guessed that it should be the "Silver Knight" Ruth who was seriously injured by his virtue just now. The main purpose of his visit this time is also him. If the curse on him is really what he thought , if it is related to Feathered Serpent God, then it is very simple to distinguish whether his abilities are acquired actively or passively.

You only need to pay attention to the improvement of his injury. If the curse of immortality makes his body recover, but the breath is getting weaker and more dead, then it is obviously corrupted. If he recovers and he is injured, he can obviously feel that his body is stronger than before. Getting stronger and stronger, then it can be confirmed that it is a gift.

In the case of the former, he only needs to investigate the nearby root that can infect the entire Golden River Valley. If there is no accident, it should be the water source, or the air passing through the pass at the bottom of the valley.

Both are possible, but if it is the latter, then there is only one possibility.

That was the problem of their lord, Viscount Korn.

But when Woody approached secretly, taking advantage of the absence of the guards, after opening the tent, he saw the leader of the guards lying inside, and immediately froze.

Because Ruth's injury at this time seems to be a little bit different from the reason he imagined.

Although he guessed right, the silver knight Ruth was turned into a pistol by him with virtue, and the wounds he was attacked have scabbed over, and his body has become stronger and stronger, and his physique has skyrocketed, which is obviously the result of overdrawing his vitality. This gift can be clearly It can be seen clearly, but it does not affect the strong dead breath around his body, which is ten times more stench than when he saw it before.

Which is to say... both are possible.

Woody was lost in thought.

At this moment, Woody heard an exclamation.

"Look what that is!"

Someone was shouting in the temporary camp. Woody couldn't help but follow the prestige, and found that on the way they came, at some point, a layer of fog had covered the way they came, and the exit on the other side In the distance, a layer of gray-white thick fog like a city wall could be seen, advancing tightly along the horizon towards their camp, and it only took a moment.

The forest glade, which was originally independent of the road, has become an isolated island in the wilderness shrouded in heavy fog.

Woody understood that this was the wall of fog that restricted the native residents of the Golden River Valley.

But didn't Tesia say that she couldn't move?why today...

Before he could sigh, Woody smelled a familiar smell in the air.

This is... the breath of death, decay.
