Douluo: The Peerless Eye of Heaven Yu Hao

Chapter 144 The Messenger of Death whose soul was replaced [7300 words]

"Damn, what kind of monsters are these?"

The bandit standing outside the cave entrance was so scared that his eyes almost popped out of his head.

When thousands of undead took action at the same time, the ground suddenly began to shake, and the death knight riding the undead horse raised the knight's spear that emitted a soft golden light in his hand.

As the war horse neighed, murderous intent suddenly broke out.

Looking at the approaching death knights, the bandits standing at the front almost wet their pants with fear. Without any hesitation, a group of people hurriedly tried to run into the cave.

But the sad thing is that the people in the back are so crowded that the people in the front can't move at all.

"Damn it, what are you blocking?"

"Who the hell are you trying to block? I'll kill you alive."

Angry curses rang out instantly, but just when the bandits were about to return to the cave to establish a defensive formation, there was a "plop", and in an instant, the air seemed to solidify, and a spear filled with golden soft light penetrated directly through the chest of a bandit. The sputtering blood instantly covered the faces of every bandit nearby.

The warm touch, coupled with the twisted and frightened look on the face of the robber who had been penetrated through the body, made everyone's brains relax.

From their perspective, they could only see a headless knight in armor whose body was wrapped in illusory light, holding a spear in his hand, standing condescendingly in front of them like he was killing a chicken.

The undead war horse, which was more than two and a half meters tall, exhaled golden smoke from its breath, and golden flames spewed out from its body. Its huge body gave a transparent sense of sight, and its internal halo was as conspicuous as a meteor streaking across the night sky. .

The next moment, there were several "thumping" sounds, and several people were penetrated by the undead knight.

In an instant, screams began to sound continuously.

This also woke up the bandits who were still in a dazed state. The timid ones ran towards the cave crying for their fathers and mothers. The brave ones pulled out their machetes and slashed at the undead knight.

However, when the machete that could cut off human bones came into contact with the leg of the undead war horse, it was bounced away by an illusory light. The blade broke directly, and the fragments scattered in all directions, and even accidentally flew to the other bandits. .

"Ah ah ah ah."

Screams sounded together, but this time, the bandits who had not escaped did not scream for long, because a small number of crypt werewolves and night devil bats took over the battlefield.

Every time the sharp claws of the crypt werewolf swiped across, there would be a flash of residual light, followed by the identities of the heads of several bandits.

And the night devil bat is even more ferocious. It neither sucks blood nor cuts off people's heads. Instead, it directly tells the bandit to "rip out the heart".

On the contrary, the slower skeletons, banshees and zombies behind the undead army did not get a share of the pie.

"stop."

Huo Yuhao thought, and in an instant, the undead knights, the crypt werewolves and even the night devil bats stopped attacking.

At the same time, the three higher-level undead all retreated to one side, leaving an opening for the skeleton zombie banshees behind to enter.

It wasn't that Huo Yuhao didn't want to win a quick victory, but what Electrolux asked Huo Yuhao to do was mainly to test how high the growth rate of the low-level undead could be under the blessing of the sun god's light.

The low-level undead have the largest number, but they are also the easiest to destroy. For example, three or four skeletons can deal with a human who has just entered the soul master cultivation level. This is the difference. The only advantage is that they are not afraid of death.

Soon, groups of low-level undead, trampling on the corpses of bandits on the ground, continued to flow into the cave, and screams and fighting sounds began to come from inside.

There are 300 bandits in total, and there are about thirty soul masters among them.

Perhaps because there are many defenses in the cave, the soul masters among these bandits have also begun to exert their strength.

White and yellow soul rings of two colors shined.

One after another soul skills began to greet people.

Those bandits who were not soul masters did not dare to fight in close combat. They used bows and arrows to shoot from a distance. They also saw that these monsters were not fast and were much weaker than those monsters just now.

However, the illusory brilliance on these undead bodies was like armor, constantly blocking all arrows for them without causing even a trace of damage.

"How do you fight this?"

The bandits were panicked.

"Bang bang bang!"

Just when the bandits were desperate, a change occurred. The skeletons and zombies walking at the forefront were hit by more than thirty soul skills. Even though the level of these soul masters was not too high, their combined power was quite powerful. In addition, Skeletons and zombies have almost nowhere to hide.

Instantly, the roar began to resound, and the soul power wave exploded. In the blink of an eye, dozens of skeletons and zombies were torn apart by the soul skill. The strong impact even caused sand to continuously fall from the top of the cave.

"Pretty!"

The originally hopeless situation seemed to have turned around, and the bandits roared with excitement.

The soul master thieves were also excited. As long as they blocked this place, the monsters would not be able to get in. They still had a chance, and someone had already informed the leader and captain.

But hope and despair are often just the difference between thoughts.

Before this group of people could get excited for too long, a horrifying scene happened. The scattered skeleton fragments and incomplete zombies were covered with bright golden flames. The next moment, the skeletons regrouped and the zombie bodies began to reorganize. A group of dead souls revived again.

A smile froze on every bandit's face.

However, what the bandits did not notice was that the intensity of the golden flames on the undead bodies was slightly weaker.

"continue."

I don't know who shouted in fear, and the group of soul masters launched their soul skills again.

But this time, the bright golden soul fire in the eyes of the undead flickered, and a shocking scene appeared. Skeletons in twos and threes gathered together, and their bones were instantly connected by an illusory light, directly turning into a thick wall of bones.

When dozens of soul skills fell again, they were no longer as smooth as before. The extremely solid wall of bones blocked all the soul skill bombardments.

Whenever there are signs of broken bones in the skeleton wall, the zombies behind them will spray golden corpse poison from their mouths, and then adhere to the broken places. These broken places will begin to repair at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Outside the cave, Huo Yuhao was stunned. "Are these skeletons and zombies low-level undead? This combination of skills is quite powerful."

"Combined skills?" Electrolux's surprised voice sounded, "The low-level undead do not have such high intelligence. They will only obey orders and charge without fear of death. They can even be killed easily, but now they not only have strong defense It has increased dramatically, and can even be resurrected on the spot, and even the fire of the soul has produced group intelligence, which is incredible."

Electrolux was amazed in his heart, but he did not forget to collect information. At this time, Huo Yuhao raised his eyebrows because the situation in the cave had changed again.

The banshees who were held back had empty positions because the skeletons at the front merged with each other, and they quickly filled in. Each of the banshees held a magic weapon like a broken piece of wood in their hands. Staff, but on such a worn-out staff, a golden magical aura suddenly condensed, and then many banshees pointed their staffs at the bandits hiding behind the fortifications.

Not long after, wisps of golden light shot out. Some of them were deflected, but some of them directly hit the bandits who stuck their heads out to see what was going on.

Soon, screams sounded. Those bandits who were hit by the golden light had all their strength quickly pulled out, and their faces became bloodless, as if their bodies had been hollowed out.

Necromantic magic, curse.

This scene was so frightening that the other bandits did not dare to poke their heads out, for fear that they would be hit.

After a wave of long-range attacks ended, the banshee spread out to both sides, and more skeletons came in. The wall of bones transformed by the skeletons, driven by the zombies, approached the defenses step by step.

This scene frightened the bandit soul masters and started to attack like crazy. Indeed, their attacks became stronger and they were about to break the wall of bones. But as the zombies sprayed out golden corpse poison, everything recovered.

Some bandits at the soul master and great soul master stages had exhausted their soul power but still failed to break through the defense of the bone wall.

At this time, the skeletons that had been replaced began to climb up the wall of bones toward the fortifications. Some even took out a bone from the body that did not affect their movement and used it as a weapon.

The fortifications were not high, and some skeletons were relatively powerful and quickly climbed up, followed by a bloody massacre.

The frightened bandits and those hit by the cursed magic had their pants wet, their legs were weak, and they could not escape at all. When the skeleton penetrated their bodies with bone spurs, the last look in their lives was only the dancing in the eyes of the skeleton. Soul Fire.

The rest of the soul master bandits saw that something was wrong and no longer dared to stay behind, running madly towards the depths of the cave.

"Shhhhhh."

Of course, not all ordinary bandits were scared out of their wits, some followed the soul master bandits and started to escape.

It was at this time that the soul fire in the pupils of the skeletons who were the first to break through the fortifications flickered, and the illusory brilliance on their bodies merged their bodies once again.

The skeleton, which was originally about 1.5 meters tall, suddenly grew to more than two meters. At the same time, he pulled out the bones on his body and threw them directly as a javelin.

With a roar, the ordinary bandit running at the end was directly nailed to the cave wall by the powerful skeletal javelin.

Just like when they killed those businessmen.

Before he died, there was only infinite fear left in his eyes.

"Stop it." Electrolux said in a deep voice, "Let the death knight go in and finish it off. The bone dragon is too big to be used inside."

"Yes." Huo Yuhao nodded.

With a thought in his mind, he released a command of control from the scepter in his hand. In an instant, the undead that rushed into the cave began to exit like a tide.

The other six headless death knights stood in a row at the entrance of the cave, making an attack stance. When Huo Yuhao gave the order, their horses roared and they quickly galloped inside.

Under the gaze of Huo Yuhao's mental detection, the defenses that the skeletons and zombies still needed to form a group to cross were completely destroyed by the charge of six death knights.

Rapid footsteps sounded, and from the depths of the cave, a screaming and furious voice came from inside, "We are both evil soul masters, so we are doing too much, right? Are we just pretending to be the messenger of death?"

As the screams were heard, a strange scene occurred. In the cave, the corpses of more than two hundred bandits suddenly began to swell and emit a strange red light.

"Corpse."

Electrolux's mental power assisted Huo Yuhao. As the scepter hit the ground, a stream of gray light rushed into the cave. In an instant, the corpses of the bandits that were about to explode returned to their original shapes and there was no more movement.

"Huh? Why didn't it explode?"

The next moment, a confused voice rang out, but soon the confusion turned into shock, "A death knight with holy attributes?"

In the cave, six death knights stopped in front of a group of people. The leader was covered by a black robe, but his body was very thin and hunched over, like a rat in the sewer.

Next to this person, there was another group of people, nine in total, all of whom were at the soul king level, but they did not have black ten-thousand-year soul rings.

Looking at the tall death knight and undead war horse filled with divine light, the expression of the messenger of death suddenly changed. What the evil soul master is most afraid of is the divine attribute.

He didn't bring the twelve corpse slaves he refined to protect himself, so he was now in big trouble. "You block it."

The Death Messenger was not in a normal state of mind, but that didn't mean he was a fool. As the fifth soul ring on his body lit up, his whole body turned into a stream of smoke and swept towards the depths of the cave at an alarming speed.

The nine Soul King bandits were shocked, but because they considered the corpse poison in their bodies to be detonated, they did not escape. Instead, they activated their soul power to hold back the Death Knight.

But before they could take the lead, the soul fires on the six death knights lit up. The next moment, six illusory lights and shadows separated from their bodies and charged. Their appearance was almost the same but in an attack form. When the illusory death knights Holding the spear and stabbing it out, the shadow of the spear flew across the sky, instantly tearing the nine Soul King bandits to pieces.

The light and shadow dissipated, leaving corpses on the ground.

This group of Soul King bandits died too suddenly, without even using any of their strength.

The escaped Death Messenger did not continue to run from the cave, but jumped in from a secret passage and then fled the place quickly.

Those subordinates he had taken in were abandoned in the cave. Anyway, as long as he didn't die, he would be able to raise a new team in a year at most.

But what the Death Messenger didn't notice was that a golden spot of light lit up on the back of his head.

"return."

Outside the cave, Huo Yuhao issued an order, and the six death knights in the cave immediately accepted the order and immediately returned to the way they came.

Spreading his hands, Huo Yuhao suddenly saw a light spot on his palm, which was moving continuously.

Because he knew the development of the original work well, he knew that the cave was full of explosives. If the Death God wanted to escape, the explosives would be detonated, and those bandits who were not killed would be buried in it.

"Bone Dragon, let's go, it's time to end." Huo Yuhao's voice was indifferent.

Under his feet, a huge bone dragon spread out its bright wings and flew towards the other side of the cave. However, in order to be less conspicuous at night, the bone dragon cleverly hid its light, and its entire body completely disappeared into darkness.

"Damn it, where did this evil soul master come from? Don't let this envoy know your identity, otherwise you will be refined into a corpse slave in the future." The vicious voice echoed in the secret passage, and the next moment, a figure quickly rushed out of the secret passage. , came to a slightly hidden mountain forest.

That black cloak and rickety body is the messenger of death.

Looking at the twelve corpse slaves kneeling in front of them, the Death Messenger glanced at the exit of the secret passage with lingering fear. The next moment, he quickly led the corpse slaves away with a wave of his hand.

"Boom!"

That is, after the messenger of death escaped from the cave, a roaring explosion suddenly sounded. It was the explosive he had buried in the cave.

Passing through this mountain forest was a large, fast-flowing river. Once there, he was safe.

Perhaps because he thought he was safe, the Death Messenger began to think about the incredible scene just now. It was too outrageous that the Death Knight had divine attributes.

"Huh." Surrounded by twelve corpse slaves, he suddenly raised his head because he heard the sound of water flowing.

The hood of the Death Messenger had been blown over while running, revealing a face that looked like a skeleton. On the face, only a part of the membrane was left hanging on it, and the pupils were a scary dark green.

After breaking out of the forest, a large river with a width of 200 meters came into view. However, because it was too dark, the river inside seemed as deep as black water, and the Death Messenger's sight could only linger very close.

Looking at the river where the appearance was unclear, the Death Messenger immediately patted the storage belt around his waist and took out a portable soul guide lamp for lighting.

A ray of soul power was injected into it, and soon, a dim light lit up from it, dispelling the darkness.

However, when the light spread, the Death Messenger's pupils suddenly solidified, and his entire body from the soles of his feet to the top of his head was as if a basin of cold water had been poured on him, and a biting coldness surged throughout his body.

About 20 meters directly in front of him, a huge figure was suspended on the river. The body without any flesh and blood, like a creature from hell, was staring at him.

And above the bone dragon's head, a young man sitting cross-legged was looking at him with his chin in his hands.

"You can count."

Gentle voices echoed around the silent river.

The next moment, a bright light lit up from the huge creature. A pair of bright golden lights rose from the dark pupils. There were jumping flames on the blue bones, and the wings behind them were even more intense. It emits a color like a stream of light, and combined with the illusory brilliance, it is impossible to tell that this is actually an undead bone dragon.

The sacred light combined with the power of the dragon fell on the messenger of death. The cold aura in his body suddenly plummeted, and at the same time, his suppressed soul almost burst.

"Ahhh..." A scream came from the death messenger, and the soul guide lamp fell to the ground and broke into pieces.

As for the twelve corpse slaves, they were suppressed even more intensely by the bone dragon. Unable to bear the pressure, they knelt directly on the river bank.

"Pa." A wisp of gray flame ignited from Huo Yuhao's finger. The flame quickly split into twelve rays and penetrated into the corpse slave's body.

After a while, the corpse slave, who was originally as iron-gray as a dead person, became normal on the surface, and a gray light lit up in his emotionless eyes.

These corpse slaves collectively looked at Huo Yuhao. With the help of Electrolux's mental power, Huo Yuhao could clearly feel an emotion called gratitude.

They are all people who were refined into corpse slaves by the messenger of death. When the purifying fire appears, their own consciousness also revives.

Slowly, under the screams of the messenger of death, faint soul lights and shadows rose up on the twelve corpse slaves. They were both men and women. They bowed to Huo Yuhao with great respect and gratitude, and then quietly disappeared into the world. between.

"Yu Hao, remember the necromancy that the teacher taught you. It is not just about controlling the undead. It also has the responsibility of purifying the undead and putting them to rest. This is the real necromancer. How you use this power determines What type of person are you, good, bad, or both, don’t let yourself get lost in the future.”

Electrolux's serious voice sounded.

"I understand, thank you teacher for your teaching." Huo Yuhao responded solemnly.

"What are you going to do with this guy?" Electrolux asked.

Huo Yuhao smiled and said, "Doesn't this guy like to refine the corpse slave? Why not fill his soul into the corpse slave's body, and then replace the new soul into his original body. This will make it easier to control in the future."

"That's fine, there are idle souls in the demiplane, you can use them as you like." Electrolux smiled, "With the help of my master's original spiritual power, when you condense the magic circle, you have a lot of thoughts. The teacher has fallen asleep first. , call for teacher when you return to the military camp."

"Yes."

Huo Yuhao recited a spell in his mouth, and his mental and soul power were released simultaneously. A gray halo rose from his feet, and a magic circle condensed in the palm of his hand, and a small humanoid soul drilled out of it.

"Go, this body is yours." Huo Yuhao rubbed the head of the humanoid soul.

The humanoid soul bowed respectfully to Huo Yuhao, and then dived into the body of the messenger of death.

Not long after, a trace of soul light was forcibly kicked out of the death messenger's body.

If you look carefully, it is the soul of the messenger of death.

"No...this is impossible." The soul of the Death Messenger tried to rush back into his body in horror, but it was in vain.

Huo Yuhao stretched out his palm, and without even reciting a spell, he created a magic circle with thousands of complex patterns out of thin air, wrapping the soul of the messenger of death. Amid the other party's cries of mercy and fear, he was thrown into one of the most powerful corpses. In the body of the big corpse slave, an undead contract was imprinted on the soul of the messenger of death.

In this way, the corpse slave transformed by the messenger of death became completely quiet, as if he was asleep. When he wakes up, he will have consciousness, but eternal life can only see the world from the perspective of a bystander, and even the pain will be gone. It must be taken in its entirety.

Not long after, the original body of the Death Messenger whose soul had been replaced came to life. He immediately knelt down on one knee and respectfully shouted to Huo Yuhao, "Your Majesty."

"From now on, just call him Black Water, and don't call him the Messenger of Death." Huo Yuhao said with a smile.

"My subordinates, keep this in mind." Heishui responded excitedly.

"This blueprint contains the plan I made. You should remember it all and then destroy it." Huo Yuhao threw down a blueprint. "This world is not the Holy Demon Continent. You should try your best to learn how to control the use of soul power. We will meet again in the future." of."

After saying this, Huo Yuhao patted the bone dragon's head. The light on the bone dragon's body immediately converged, and then he spread his wings and left quickly.

Taking the drawing, Heishui glanced around. After seeing everything clearly, a burst of soul power shook the drawing and tore it into pieces.

He looked at the direction Huo Yuhao left with reverence, then pulled his cloak to cover his body, and quietly disappeared into the vast night with the corpse slave transformed into the messenger of death.

And the direction he was headed towards was the Sun and Moon Empire.

Huo Yuhao did not return directly to the military camp, but returned to the entrance of the cave. Fortunately, the power of Douluo Continent's explosives was limited. Although the depths of the cave were collapsed and buried, fortunately, the entire cave was not completely destroyed, but the people hiding in the deepest part of the cave were The robbers here will be trapped alive inside.

He buried the bodies of the caravan members who died due to bandits' plunder, but unfortunately their souls had been broken and could not be purified.Then the undead were returned to the demiplane, and finally the spell was activated to harvest the souls of these bandits.

Looking at the slowly disappearing gate of the undead, Huo Yuhao instantly withdrew a ray of Electrolux's original spiritual power. When everything returned to normal, Huo Yuhao sat weakly on the ground, panting continuously.

The heavenly eye between his brows even closed automatically.

His soul power was only reduced by %, but his mental power was almost consumed by %.

However, with the help of Electrolux's mental power to assist in releasing magic, he has a deeper understanding of undead magic. Otherwise, how would he be able to summon the Door of the Undead and control the undead with his mental power.

"By the way, the Sun God Pillar." Huo Yuhao gathered his energy and entered the sea of ​​​​spirits to check. At this time, Ice Emperor and Tianmeng Iceworm were still sleeping. Strangely enough, this did not wake them up.

As for the White Dragon Soul, there has been no movement since that day.

On the Sun Pillar, the light on the first star ring became dim and colorless, leaving almost only a thin layer of light.

Huo Yuhao murmured to himself: "This time I summoned exactly a thousand undead for amplification, but it almost emptied out the sunlight I had accumulated in the past half month. Undead with different strengths will be given different amounts of sunlight during amplification. See If I want to use the power of the first star ring at night after I come here, I have to accumulate a lot of sunlight in advance, otherwise I will be in the dilemma of having a gun but no bullets."

Again, sunlight is similar to soul power, and star rings are soul skills. Only with soul power can you use soul skills. The two complement each other.

"I don't know how far I can do it when the sun is shining during the day. Will it be another situation?"

Today's first experience also made Huo Yuhao understand one thing. If there is not much accumulated sunlight, then at night, it is best to give the increase to the undead of the middle and higher races to pursue the strength of the single target rather than the volume.

Even the lowest-level undead such as skeletons and zombies can increase their combat power several times with the power of the first star ring, and can even be resurrected on the spot. This shows how terrifying the increase will be if used on powerful undead.

After leaving the sea of ​​​​spirits, Huo Yuhao rushed back to the military camp with light and fast steps. As for the corpses on the ground, he did not move.

When Huo Yuhao returned to the military camp, the time had already reached 04:30 in the morning. With the help of simulated soul skills and Electrolux, he sneaked into the military camp without attracting the attention of any patrolling soldiers, and then quickly went to the toilet and pretended to be... Come out after the toilet.

When he returned to the camp, he met five White Tiger guards. The two looked at each other without saying a word, just nodded, and then he successfully entered the camp.

It was almost the same as when he left. Both the home team and the reserve team, as well as Zhang Lexuan and Wang Yan, were all in a state of meditation.

Huo Yuhao returned to his position quietly, and then immediately meditated, as if nothing had happened.

With the help of undead magic, he completely changed the future development.
