Volume 6: Fighting for the World Chapter 37: The Soaring Horseless Horse (2)
After finishing the activities in Beijing City, I found some time to negotiate with Xue Wuxia and Afeng, and decided to organize another action to challenge the big devil. I will participate in person. On the one hand, I can get equipment and see if I am lucky enough to get what I want. At the same time, I can also use the "Soul Orb" to absorb the dissipated soul of the big devil and complete the task of lifting the seal of the "Dead Scepter" assigned by the Abyss Dragon King Robinho.
Having learned from the failure last time, we naturally had to prepare more fully this time. We used high-quality props and the participating players were carefully selected, which could be called the strongest lineup of the Tongxin League. I also found Qingwu Feiyang, and through her connections, I "rented" a hundred excellent elf archers from the Xingyue Mercenary Group at a "low" price to restrain the big demon's "teleportation" skill and prevent it from escaping again.
I had just confirmed the personnel who would participate in the operation and was actively purchasing the necessary props, but I received an emergency call from Wu Ma. It could no longer suppress the power in its body and was about to start evolving. According to Wu Ma's current level and ability, it had already sensed that it had to start evolving a few days in advance, but I had not entered the "Dead Soul Space" for several days in a row, so it had no way to notify me. Although I summoned Tao Tao to travel during this period, Tao Tao had not had time to visit it. It was not until there were signs of evolution that I sensed its abnormal changes through the "Soul Contract". As a result, the action to challenge the big devil had to be postponed. At least I had to wait until Wu Ma completed the evolution and I recovered before continuing. It was just right that I could take advantage of this time to make more preparations, try to improve the attack plan, and strive for a successful battle.
I still chose to come to the zombies' territory. After all, I was the "public enemy of the undead" to avoid attracting the attention of other powerful beings during the evolution process, especially when the "heavenly calamity" was triggered. And I had to stay in the "dead space" all day, urging the "touch of death" to continuously provide Wu Ma with the mental power needed for evolution - compared with other undead wizards, I can shorten the evolution time by at least one third with the help of artifacts, and at the same time make the newly born undead have stronger strength, so that they can grow faster and enter the mature stage earlier, reducing the time required to meet the conditions for the next evolution.
Although the Destruction Knight has a strong growth potential and can evolve into the top existence in the "Dead Soul Space", and is bloodthirsty and has rich practical experience, it is really a rare "tough general", but I have made up my mind not to help Wu Ma resist the "Heavenly Tribulation", even if it will be "destroyed" because of it. I have done what I should do. I have forced it to suppress the power accumulated for more than two months. If it still cannot overcome the "Heavenly Tribulation" alone, it can only mean that its qualifications are too poor and it is not worth much use. Even if it gets my help and survives by chance, I am afraid it will be destroyed in the third "Heavenly Tribulation". It can only play a role in the human world and dare not participate too much in the battle in the "Dead Soul Space". Instead of doing this, it is better to give up early. There is no need to waste too much time on a "public enemy of the dead" who is not too strong and has no development prospects. It is not that I am too ruthless. "Survival of the fittest" is cruel, but it is an indisputable fact. Whether it is the battle in the "Dead Soul Space" or the human world, what I need and rely on can only be the real strong undead.
In my spare time, I dare not set foot in dangerous places such as "Hell Volcano" and "Bottomless Abyss". I can only rely on the protection of Taotao, Qitlei and the five surviving horror dragon knights. While absorbing the spiritual power of other horror knights, I go around to patrol, expand the territory, investigate various unknown existences, and subdue the newly discovered horror dragon knights. Now I don't need to use "Blood Transformation" to force them to sign a "Soul Contract". It's a pity that the growth of the upper limit of my spiritual power is seriously lagging behind. I have elite soldiers but no good generals. I can't go to the battlefield, which really makes me depressed.
I also tried to attack the vampire fang marquis to see if I could let Shaman take the promotion challenge before the "World Heroes Conference" to further improve his strength. To be safe, I first sent a horror dragon knight with similar strength to Shaman to provoke and test him, but the result disappointed me greatly - the horror dragon knight could not hurt the vampire fang marquis at all. Every time he attacked, he was easily dodged or repelled. Once he underestimated the enemy and advanced rashly, he would suffer some damage. If the vampire fang marquis did not have the ability to fight in air combat, I am afraid he would have retreated long ago. Of course, this is also because the rough horror dragon knight is not suitable for fighting with the sensitive vampire fang. The two have different combat methods. If Shaman fights, the situation may be better, but judging from the overall situation, it is estimated that there are more losses than wins, and the chances are not great. It is better to soak in the "blood pool" for a while before challenging. Unfortunately, the promotion battle of the Vampire Fang can only be conducted fairly between the two parties, and any third party is strictly prohibited from intervening in any form. I once discussed with Shaman to see if I could instruct Taotao and the others to surround the Vampire Fang Marquis, beat it up severely, and then let Shaman challenge it, but it refused sternly, even when I used the "Soul Contract" to force it, saying that even if it challenged, the Vampire Fang Marquis would never accept the challenge. In that case, even if I killed it, Shaman would not be able to be promoted to Marquis. This completely cut off my thoughts, and I could only hope that it would increase its strength as soon as possible.
Although it has been upgraded to a higher level through evolution, under normal circumstances, the time required for evolution has not increased much. I guess this setting is also to take care of us necromancers, so as not to waste too much time on evolution and bring too much impact on our normal development. Wu Ma's evolution this time was similar to the first time, and it took half a month. Sensing that it was about to complete its evolution, I hurried over to "welcome" the birth of the new Wu Ma, and also to witness with my own eyes whether it can successfully "survive the catastrophe" - although I decided not to intervene to help, as a "veteran" who has been trained for such a long time, the earliest to follow me, and a capable subordinate who has made many contributions, I still have great expectations for Wu Ma, looking forward to its success, even if it unfortunately fails to "survive the catastrophe", I still want to send it off for the last time. If it were not for its identity as the "Public Enemy of the Undead", it would be destined to live in a world of killing all the time, and it would be impossible for it to obey my arrangements for Phosphorus and other former "veteran" subordinates to "retire" in a remote area with no one or only the weak. The outcome would only be "failure will lead to death". I would definitely consider helping it "survive the disaster" so that it can enjoy the preferential treatment of "normal retirement".
Wu Ma finally broke out of the cocoon, but his appearance had completely changed. He became taller and more powerful, especially his mount. Compared with the previous skeleton horse wearing bone armor, it had undergone a complete transformation. Accompanied by the black mist emitted when the big egg exploded, he soared into the sky.
A new mount that was over three meters long and purple-red, similar to a bone scorpion, with a layer of bone carapace on its body surface, and two rows of three pairs of short bone wings less than one meter long and less than one foot wide growing on its back. It flapped its wings very quickly, and it seemed that the "uniqueness" of the bone wings did not affect its flying speed at all, and its movements were very agile. In front of its head, it danced a pair of purple-red claws that could stretch three or four meters, looking strong and powerful, and the scorpion tail that was covered with spikes and had a long hook at the end seemed to be less than one meter long, but it seemed to be very flexible, and it kept swinging out, the farthest one was almost ten meters away, and it was obviously a sharp .
The horseless man sitting on the back of the bone scorpion was nearly three meters tall, and his body looked even more sturdy. His body and the mount were also purple-red. He wore a heavy helmet and thick armor. He held a long-handled double-edged bone battle axe over four meters long in both hands. He looked up at the sky, standing in the air, as if to welcome the coming "heavenly calamity"...
