Chapter 68: The Bootlegged Headless Knight
When Gloxinia reappeared in Lovie's line of sight, Lovie was commanding the undead servants to surround and kill the 222nd Ancient Battlefield Relic Undead, a Bronze Mid-Tier undead armed with a long-handled scythe.
Rov finally gained a new stance... hmm, knowledge, because he finally knew that the upper limit of consecutive uses of "Soul Fire Deprivation" was exactly 200 times.
One more time and it's all gone, even if there is still magic, it won't work. Just thinking about releasing the soul fire that deprives the deepest part of his soul of its most unbearable and suffocating feeling makes Luo Wei want to grab his heart and lungs and scream loudly.
It's all right, the endless undead soldiers and beasts jumping out one after another, each with evil intentions to devour Luo Wei this big living person, making him have no time to grasp his heart and lungs as well as shout loudly.
Fortunately, Luo Wei had been keeping the undead minions in a rhythm of three fighting in front and one hiding behind to devour soul fire from the very beginning. Plus, he moved around during the battle and finally got stuck in a good terrain that was advantageous for defense, so he wouldn't be crushed by the human sea tactics of the ancient battlefield relics' undead.
The star iron chain mail worn on Zombie Nelson's body had an extremely strong effect beyond Rovi's expectation. The spirits of the ancient battlefield, whether they were armed or clawed, could not break through the defense when they hit the star iron chain mail, so Rovi simply let Zombie Nelson stay at the forefront.
There was Zombie Nalson, Lord of the previous head, standing tall and proud, while Rove's other three undead servants had a great advantage, they could spend more time digesting soul fire.
So, after confirming that 200 times was the limit of Soul Fire Deprivation, Roviere, who had to cross his legs and meditate to recover his spirit and magic power, could only activate the "High-ranking Evil Spirit Dispersal" solidified within the Black Ice Skull Necklace.
The high-level evil spirit's dispelling effect has a range-type efficacy, easily rendering the bronze-tier and below ancient battlefield remnants' vengeful spirits immobile. However, their intense obsession with fresh flesh drives those bronze-tier ancient battlefield remnants' vengeful spirits to recklessly charge into the effective range of the high-level evil spirit's dispelling effect in an attempt to drag Luo Wei out and devour him like moths to a flame.
Rovy's undead minions were not to be underestimated, those bronze-rank undead from the ancient battlefield ruins dared to cross over the chest wall made of piled up corpses, they would rush forward under Rovy's manipulation and tear their opponents into a state of dismemberment.
These are at least the remains of ancient battlefields of the Bronze Lower Class, which are all good things for Luo Wei, so he can't bear to let his own undead servants blast their skulls and cause their souls to disperse and disappear.
So very quickly, beside the pile of corpses, more than twenty skulls of various types of vengeful spirits appeared scattered all over.
After being beheaded, the bodies of those bronze-age battlefield ghosts did not collapse or fall to the ground, but continued to maintain a state where they could run around wildly.
This made Rovi rather thoughtful, because in his view this clearly meant that artificially creating headless knights was a highly feasible and operational thing to do.
Before crossing over, Luo Wei had watched a Gothic-style movie called "Headless Valley", where the headless knight left a deep impression on him. Now that he has the chance to create his own headless knight, how could he not be excited?
However, there is still a technical problem to be solved. After the bodies of the undead and their skulls are separated, although the bodies can still move around like normal undead, they are still controlled by the severed heads that contain the soul fire - the head sees what it wants, the headless body moves in that direction and makes corresponding reactions.
To this extent of headless knights... Any slightly intelligent being with a bit of brain can't help but get rid of these invisible headless bodies, right?
……
"Row row row! I've found those despicable Gadon people! They're all underground!"
Before she even reached Rovi's side, Glorene let out a loud shout.
Ruo Wei didn't respond to Ge Luoxian immediately, he was still absorbing and digesting the wisp of soul fire that had been left behind after devouring the ghostly spirit, which now only had a tiny bit left.
Because she had been with Rovi for long enough to know roughly what situation he was in, the mountain girl chose to wait quietly despite her urgency.
After the four undead minions worked together to cut off the heads of two bronze-tier ancient battlefield undead warriors, Luo Wei finally completed his Soul Fire Devouring set.
For some reason, the undead servants of Tyrant can swallow soul fire and complete the process in at least ten seconds to five minutes, but Luo Wei needs to spend at least ten times more time than the undead servants to complete the same process.
This is a pretty sad thing for Luo Wei, he was thinking that he could finish replenishing his magic in more than 10 seconds, and then he could transform into an unscientific magic cannon boy who can kill everything at any time.
Fell in love with the Devouring Soul Flame, but my home doesn't have a "Grassland", this makes me feel desperate, Miss Guroseni... Hmm, it's just Rovin's self-mockery song that he hums to himself.
After a while, Luo Wei finally assimilated the bronze rank soul fire that he had swallowed into his belly, and this time there were no unusual occurrences.
In fact, not only did the soul fire of the 199 undead warriors that Lovie had swallowed earlier not trigger any special devouring, but also the four undead servants he had divided it among did not trigger any special devouring either.
For success, he would master new skills, and for failure, it was the same old routine. Luo Wei had mixed feelings about this - he himself could use Dark Laws to cheat, but his four brainless undead servants didn't have that ability.
"I'm fine, Glosoni." Rovier opened his originally crossed legs and asked while patting the numb parts with both hands: "Tell me about the situation underground."
Then Gloriana began to tell, through Gloriana's telling, Luo Wei finally had a preliminary understanding of the underground world of Zu Ling Valley.
Just as Guluoxi said before, the underground of Zuling Valley is a vast network of caves, and now Luo Wei finally knows that this vast network of caves is actually much larger than he imagined. It's an underground world that perfectly matches the theory of "the earth is like a chessboard, the sky is like an eggshell"!
Well... it's not entirely accurate to call it an underground world, because according to Grosvenor's scouting results, the underworld of Zuling Valley is actually a pearl chain shape, that is, a narrow passage connecting several large caves together, eventually forming a vast network of tunnels.
Frodo and his servants were still in the thirteenth great cave when Gollum returned, they were fighting against a subterranean creature that was like a huge potato with holes all over it, no eyes but strong arms and claws, Gollum thought those were cave men.
"Are you saying they're biological?" Rove grabbed onto Glorene's point: "You're certain, those caveperson-like guys are biological and not undead?"
"On the way to find those bad Qaidam people, there were also many corpses of cave-dwelling people. I checked several and they were all very fresh."
Gloria replied.
"Inside the Necromancy Labyrinth, there are actually living creatures? Even if it's a cave man, this is enough... how strange!"
