Chapter 65: The Lion's Fang

  With Lord Lovi's orders and expectations, Zombie Earl Nelson slowly walked up to the corpse wearing the star-iron lock sub-armor, then poked the corpse covered in sticky liquid with his iron sword.

  Until it was stabbed in the head, the corpse did not move, which led Luo Wei to basically conclude that the corpse should have been dead and had no signs of zombification.

  Since the other party was already dead, Luo Wei obviously wouldn't be polite anymore. He happily ordered Zombie Nelson to remove the Star Iron Chainmail from the corpse in a simple and rough manner.

  Of course, Luo Wei didn't rely on his past to lend a hand, but instead held the half-white bone long sword of Skull Sword Saint Ohei, standing guard far away with a serious expression.

  This place, after all, is a relic of an ancient battlefield shrouded in the mysterious and deadly aura of vengeful spirits, so even if the corpses on the ground were to suddenly rise up with invincible golden-tier strength, Rovie wouldn't find it unacceptable.

  It was then that Lord Nelson's corpse, which had been turned over in the process of removing the star sash and decorations from his uniform, finally revealed its face to Rowley.

  To be honest, although it was just a quick glance from afar, that face which seemed like half-digested vomit still managed to nauseate Luo Wei, the former forensic doctor.

  This finally raised Luo Wei's vigilance against the corpse demons surrounding him to the highest level - these damn corpse demons were actually man-eating plants like Venus flytraps!

  "Rovi, come quick, that guy was lying down in a place, there's a pretty good-looking rapier, it looks just right for you to use."

  Although she also saw the half-digested corpse, Gloriana's performance was better than that of forensic expert Rove. She didn't mind the corpse with strong negative visual impact at all and found a quiet silver-gray dagger without any rust from the original pool of dark red corpse liquid.

  Under Guronni's guidance, Rovy finally saw that silver-gray rapier.

  That is a sword with a length of about one and a half meters, with a narrow and long blade and a sharp triangular tip, an S-shaped guard, a hollow fan-shaped hilt and a beautifully decorated pommel carved into a lion's head.

  As soon as Luo Wei saw the spear, the name of the spear appeared in his mind - Lion's Fang.

  The Lion's Fang, a magical sword imbued with the effects of Shock, Accuracy and Armor Break, is the most treasured family heirloom and symbol of the lordship of the Brolyen family, Earls of Gaton.

  However, these memories that sprang up in Luo's mind did not come from the original owner of the zombie body, the magician Salo, but rather from the core memory of the evil spirit that had just been absorbed through the special devouring.

  So it didn't take much guessing for Luo Wei to basically guess that the half-digested corpse not far away, which had broken out of the Corpse Wraith's body, was probably the physical shell of the evil spirit that had tried to occupy his soul before, but was thoroughly eliminated by him using the Dark Laws and triggered the Devouring of the Strange.

  Because the evil spirit was eliminated, the flesh shell controlled by Jī Yāo Ruì also became useless, so it was spat out by Jī Yāo Ruì...?

  So-called evil spirits are actually the souls of those who were swallowed by these man-eating corpse demons, rather than what Ge Luoxi said?

  As soon as he thought of this, Luo Wei couldn't help but think of the ghost stories he had heard before crossing over, about those hanged ghosts and drowned ghosts who, after dying, were unable to ascend, so they wandered around the place where they died, ready to confuse others at any time so that they would die like themselves, making new dead people their substitutes.

  In that case, the Jade Beast Crystal Core's effect should not only be able to enter and exit the Wraithlock of the Soul, but it should also have the effect of preventing the living from being invaded by these evil spirits... If I hadn't swallowed the Soul Fire, I wouldn't have gotten into this mess...

  Luó Wéi took out the jade beast crystal core that had been tucked into his pocket, and after a closer inspection, he found that the originally glass-colored jade beast crystal core had indeed darkened significantly.

  "Kloxenia, the Jade Beast Crystal Core in this Ancestral Spirit Valley, has a time limit? Hmm... which means it can only be used for a period of time before having to return outside?"

  Luo Wei asked.

  "I don't know... um, every time our tribe comes in to worship the ancestors, we'll return to the tribe by the time the sky is about to darken."

  Although she didn't quite understand why Rovi was asking this, Glosoni still answered as best she could.

  "Can the Jade Stone Beast Crystal Core be used again after entering the Ancestral Spirit Valley once?"

  Luo Wei continued to ask questions.

  While continuing to interrogate, Luo Wei didn't forget to perform a dual operation, having Zombie Nelson Lord pick up the Stabbing Sword Lion's Tooth from the corpse of Balra and then deliver it to him.

  "Of course it can't be used again? Are you saying that the offerings you Gadon people made to your ancestors last year will be taken out and offered to your ancestors again this year?"

  Gloriana retorted that she didn't think the world would have people like her who would fool their ancestors, provoke them to anger and then bring down punishment.

  "I don't know about others, but at least I've never done that." Luo Wei smiled at Ge Luoxian before continuing, "Thanks for your answer, Ge Luoxian."

  "Everyone says don't say thank you..." Groni reminded Rovi for the nth time, but she herself stopped halfway: "Forget it, you're a Kaidon person."

  "This time it's sincere."

  Rovin's gaze had already shifted to the Lion's Tooth, now in the possession of Zombie Lord Nalson, but he hadn't forgotten to respond to Glorene.

  According to the intelligence obtained by the previous forced confession of the divine shooter, that Lord Frodo has led most of his subordinates into the Valley of the Lich's Soul Lock for more than two days.

  After finishing speaking, Luo Wei originally intended to use his hand to directly take the male lion's fang that was stained with corpse liquid and Corpse Mushroom's mucus. However, after failing to stretch out his hand three times in a row, he had no choice but to use Ohei's half-broken white bone sword to cut off a piece of the hem of his shirt that was tucked into his pants.

  After wiping the hem of his shirt for a while, Luo Wei finally had the courage to hold the Lion's Tooth, which looked clean on the surface but still smelled strongly of corpses.

  "It's indeed a fine sword!"

  Just casually grasping it and trying it out, Luo Wei couldn't help but let out a praise.

  With the Lion's Tooth in hand, Rove felt as if he was holding a sixth finger that could be used at will, an iron finger that could pierce holes in others' eyes like lightning!

  If he were to unleash his Lion Rain Shooting Star Sword Technique now, Luo Wei was confident that he could at least split the final Flower Sword Strike into at least eight strikes.

  In sync with the Lion's Fang, Shiryu's Flowing Meteor Swordsmanship Eightfold Strike, when performed with Lovina's barely White Iron-level swordsmanship, it was as if eight White Iron swordsmen simultaneously launched a powerful attack - an assault of this magnitude, not to mention its strong offensive capabilities, could at least temporarily push back even a Bronze-tier swordsman.

  "Guo Luoxi, I don't need that suit of armor. You take it and clean it up, then wear it!"

  So, Lovi said with a pleasant mood.

  Ordinary metal armor will interfere with spellcasting, causing the failure rate of magic to skyrocket. So even if Luo Wei has cultivated both magic and martial arts, he absolutely won't turn himself into a charging iron can.
