Skilled Pikemen Don't Leash

"I...I seem to have discovered it, survivor." Yi Guang couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat when he was stared at by that cold gaze, "Here are two children."

"Survivor?" Casper's tone fluctuated a little, but it was not the joy after discovering the survivor, but a kind of disappointment, "I knew you would encounter this situation, so I followed Behind you...you seem to have the ability to sense the breath around you, but obviously, the power of wolf blood can still fool you."

After speaking, Casper walked towards Yi Guang, which made Yi Guang feel more ominous.

"What are you going to do?" Yi Guang frowned, his hand hidden in the dark tightened unconsciously.

"Clear the seeds of the abyss." Pascal said bluntly, "I told you that there are no survivors in the abyss's position. There are only infected monsters and the seedbeds that host the abyss."

"You, you want to kill them?" Yi Guang's hand unconsciously picked up the weapon, "But they still..."

"Children, old people, women, there is no difference between men and soldiers in this place, the difference is only monsters and seedbeds." Caspar sighed, "put away your pity, it will only affect your judgment. Put it down Your weapon, if you don't want to be considered an enemy by Fran."

"But they look normal now! They should be saved!" Yi Guang was still unwilling to move away.

"Save? How to save?" Caspar sneered, "The abyss is the poison of human nature. As long as the abyss is raging, human beings will inevitably be parasitized. They seem normal now, that's just because the time has not come. As long as There is an opportunity, as long as their hearts are controlled by negative emotions for a moment, the abyss will inevitably erupt."

Under the world view of "Dark Souls", the abyss is not a biochemical virus, and it does not mean that isolation and disinfection are useful. It is a curse rooted in the souls of humans and gods in this world.It was born directly from the first fire, which is equivalent to "soul negative". As long as there is something with a soul, as long as there is an abyss infection around him, it will be [-]% infected. The only difference is when it happens.Human beings always have seven emotions and six desires, love and hatred, and the abyss is the embodiment of these negative emotions.Once a human being's brain is occupied by these emotions at a certain moment, and shows fluctuations, the abyss will erupt from his body, forming a black entity.

"Can't be purified?" Yi Guang frowned.

"The abyss and the first fire have the same source, and the only thing that can purify the abyss is the flame. What is the difference between touching the flame with a human body and death?" Casper's tone began to show a trace of impatience, "Okay, no Time is wasted for us, the seedbed of the abyss must be dealt with as soon as possible!"

"Wait a minute, I can give it a try!" Yi Guang suddenly thought of something, and then stretched out his hand to Kasper to dissuade him, "I also have the power of flames, don't I? I can try to control the power of flames and see if I can It cannot be softened and purified."

"You?" Casper tilted his head, "Do you want to use a 'miracle' to heal these souls? Hmph, it seems that you won't give up until the end."

Miracle?what is that?

The undead team still believes that Yiguang is a side descendant of the Protoss, so when Yiguang proposed to purify the pair of siblings, Kasper subconsciously thought that he would use a "miracle".It originated from this world, and the power of the so-called "Protoss" can be obtained by humans and undead people through belief and singing about the deeds of the Protoss.But as far as Casper knew, there wasn't any kind of "miracle" that could purify the abyss.

This kid is undoubtedly talking in his sleep.

However, it's good to let him try, after all, every undead who joins the undead team thinks like him at the beginning, and so does he.Since he has such an idea and has great power, why not let him try it?Only when all attempts are ineffective, he will understand that the best way to purify the abyss is to bury everything related to the abyss!

However, at this moment, Yi Guang thought of the water-blue goddess Akuya who had fought side by side with him.The goddess once purified the phantom of the wolf knight by herself, and purified Sato Kazuma who was deeply eroded by the abyss, which proved that the abyss is not impossible to heal.

Now Yi Guang naturally dare not stand shoulder to shoulder with the goddess, even if she is Akuya, she is also a goddess with true divine power.As for myself, after stealing divine power, I am still confused, and I am not even a demigod.

But even so, Yi Guang thought he could do it. After all, what he wanted to purify now was not the powerful phantom of the wolf knight, but just two children.

"Be careful--!!!"

However, when he was about to make a move, Casper suddenly rushed over.Then, before Yi Guang could react, he had already been pushed away, and at the same time Pascal had drawn out his sword.

It turned out that when the two were talking, one of the two seemingly harmless children suddenly mutated.A black beast like a giant snake burst out of his head!

Human pus, Yi Guang has seen such a beast before.This is a very powerful existence among the creations of the abyss. Yi Guang has faced such a giant beast before, so he is very clear...even if he is the current self, if he is attacked by it, he will definitely be injured.

But Pascal obviously noticed this and pushed Yi Guang away.

Chapter 257 Gray World

"boom--!!!"

The little boy who suddenly turned into a "human pus" shocked everyone. The huge snake-shaped black beast killed the sister of the original owner of his body and collapsed at the same time. The cave where the siblings originally hid.It first stretched out its twisted claws from the cave, like a warrior's cleaving attack, covering Yi Guang in it.Facing Yi Guang, Kasper happened to see the scene where the monster squeezed the cave, then jumped over, pushed Yi Guang away and raised his great sword.

"Ping..." A crisp sound spread in the air, and Casper's weapon collided with the monster's claw.Then without any surprise, Casper's great sword was released, and his body was slammed into the air.The opponent's huge minions penetrated the protection of the layer of leather chain mail on his body, and ruthlessly gouged out a piece of flesh from his chest.However, as an undead man, he didn't lose his ability to fight because of this, and he quickly got up from the ground.At the same time, the black snake rushed towards him again.

"Boom boom boom..."

But at this time, Yi Guang had already reacted, he didn't care about taking anything, he just rushed forward with his bare hands, and then concentrated the power of the flames on his fists, hitting the black snake like raindrops .Contaminated by the flames, the black snake immediately let out a painful roar, and the surface of the body that flowed vaguely like a black liquid quickly began to spread the flames.As the creation of the abyss, flames and they are originally incompatible ends.

Even if the flame does not actually come from the power of Chuhuo.

The flames burning on the black snake condensed under Yi Guang's will, and directly turned into sharp blades to tear it apart from the inside.The huge body exploded immediately, and the flames splashed like blooming flowers, filling the entire room.In the light and heat, the huge black snake turned into ashes all over the sky.

"Are you okay?" After finishing the black snake, Yi Guang immediately ran over to check on Casper's situation.This experienced old undead man had already drank the elemental bottle by himself, the shimmer of flames ignited on his body, and the torn wounds had begun to heal quickly.Seeing such a scene, Yi Guang finally breathed a sigh of relief, "It's fine..."

"We are undead, not as fragile as you imagine." Kaspar, seeing the happy expression on Yi Guang's face, said with disdain, "Knowing good and evil, being sensible is a good thing, but in the abyss It is definitely not a good habit on the battlefield. Did you see it just now? Even so, do you want to save those so-called 'survivors'?"

The accident that just happened directly proved that everything that Casper and the Falan Undead Team insisted on was correct.On the battlefield of the abyss, there will be no so-called "survivors", only monsters and seedbeds that will soon become monsters.

"This..." Yi Guang lowered his head, but quickly raised it again, "If you don't try it, how would you know? I didn't try anything just now."

"Well, as a reward for your life, I will help you create such an opportunity." Kasper said, "However, I can foresee your failure, because no one in this world has yet purified The matter of the abyss. But, as far as you are concerned, if you are not allowed to see the consequences of failure, you will not give up easily, will you?"

"That is life after all. If there is a way to save them, of course I will..." Yi Guang sighed, "Although I have done indiscriminate killings of innocent people, I don't like unnecessary sacrifices."

"No one likes it, but... Forget it, as long as you don't do something as stupid as those fools before, we won't bother you." Caspar shook his head, "However, I advise you to give up as soon as possible Well, facing the abyss, there is only one way to completely eradicate them."

"If that's really the last resort, I'll do it." Yi Guang said with a wry smile, "Whether you're overthinking your abilities or whimsical, you have to work hard, don't you?"

"However, it doesn't make sense, you can do it yourself." Pascal stood up, "Let's go, the fire set by the ghosts will be here soon."

Yi Guang sighed and followed Casper's footsteps.Then, he used his mental power to sense the surrounding area again, and after confirming that there were no living things, he left here.However, he did not leave with Casper, but continued to explore the village, trying to find other survivors.

To Yiguang's dismay, however, he found no survivors to save until the fire had spread deep into the village.

No, maybe it can't be said that there was nothing to gain. In a corner of the village, he found an existence that was indeed not infected by the abyss.It's a pity that it was not a normal human being, but an undead who suddenly showed cursed properties.According to the undead team, the undead are the only ones who can maintain their own existence after the erosion of the abyss, and their own resistance to the abyss is much higher than that of ordinary humans. One of the reasons for the composition.

Of course, chance and resistance are originally some kind of metaphysics, stronger than the undead team itself will eventually be swallowed by the abyss, so this argument is just a listen.But after the special inspection method of the undead team, this undead man was indeed not infected by the power of the abyss.Therefore, the undead team did not kill him, but also sent an invitation to him, hoping that he would stay in the French undead team.

So Yi Guang's trip wasn't all fruitless.

"Many of us are like him, relying on this curse to survive the invasion of the abyss." Casper said to Yi Guang afterwards, "Don't ask me why I didn't search and rescue him before, The undead can survive even when the village burns down. We ourselves are a curse to be alive, death is a relief for us, or for that person, the pain of not being able to die, you must not understand Bar?"

Really did not understand, Yi Guang suddenly felt that there was a huge difference in the three views between himself and these undead.They don't seem to regard the lives of themselves and their kind as valuable things at all. It can even be said that they hate themselves as "undead" very much, just like Yi Guang hates his identity as an ancient god hatchling.

Well, from this aspect, Yi Guang somewhat understood their thinking.

But life is precious, isn't it?Even if it is an undead person, no one has the right to deprive them at will before the other party expresses their disgust for living in this world, right?What's more, there is no direct conflict of interest between the two parties, and the other party has not been infected with the abyss, but they don't even do basic search and rescue work recently... Isn't this a bit too much?

Although he has long understood that some things in the world have to be done no matter how sinful they are, but the undead team's actions really make Yi Guang feel a little uncomfortable.Even if he is the leader of the Jinyiwei of the empire, even if he has done indiscriminate killings of innocent people, but that is still related to interests, and those unlucky people can't blame anyone for being on the wrong team.But this undead man who was discovered didn't do anything, but just appeared in this place, should he be abandoned?

However, even the undead man himself never expressed any anger towards the undead team.After he knew this, he just showed a creepy smile to Yi Guang: "It's better to let me be burned to death."

Well, it seems that in this world, the curse of the undead is indeed unwelcome.This incident did affect Yi Guang to some extent. Many things in this world seem to be impossible to judge by his original standards.The curse of the undead, the abyss, demons, and the undead squad who are called heroes but act like executioners... Yi Guang suddenly felt that the tone of this world was a hundred times darker than the world of "Zhan Chi". more than.

If the world of "Zhan Chi" originally gave people the feeling of chaos, then this world gave Yi Guang the feeling of coldness and despair.Everyone in this world seems to unconsciously exude an aura of despair and curse deep in their hearts.

Not only that, in the eyes of Yi Guang, who has a special ability to sense the soul and spirit, even the sky in this world...is gloomy.As far as the eyes can see, although the mountains and rivers are beautiful, but there is always a certain gray and white tone in it.No matter how beautiful the scenery is, it will look pale and lifeless after all.

"What is going on in this world?"

Yi Guang felt that he was hallucinating more than once, and he even recalled his first mission, his experience in Yanan.This world is somewhat similar to that small town full of fog and eerie.It's just that compared to the distorted and weird atmosphere there, this world is a little more normal, but a little lifeless.

"It's so strange..." Yi Guang couldn't help but muttered to himself.

"Strange? Get used to it. Ever since the curse of the undead appeared, this world has long been abnormal." Hearing Yi Guang's soliloquy, this unknown undead man spoke to Yi Guang in a lamenting tone. Said, "So, why is it me? In such a world, wouldn't it be good to let me die together?"

"Hey, hey, this kind of statement is too pessimistic, isn't it?" Yi Guang said angrily, "Just because you are the last person, so you have to live well, think about your relatives and the like .By the way, what's your name? My name is Lanza."

"Do you want to be so noisy?" This guy rolled his eyes at Yi Guang, "Speaking of which, you are a human being, why did you hang out with those guys?"

After the guy finished speaking, he paused again, as if he just remembered to answer Yi Guang's question, and announced his name.

"Hockwood, you can call me that."

Chapter 258 Abyss, First Fire, Salary King

Hawkwood, the undead man saved by Yi Guang, agreed to the invitation to join Farlan's camp after following the undead team for a few days.He was different from Yi Guang, he had nothing to do with the Falan Undead Team, and the Undead Team would not force him to join.But now his family is broken and he is alone. After thinking about it carefully, he has nowhere to go, so he simply stayed.

"Well, I'm new here too, and we just happen to be companions."

Since Yi Guang and this guy had comforted each other a few words before, after entering the sequence of Fran, Yi Guang naturally got close to him.This undead man who has now also become a ghost guard still looks a little depressed, and by the way, he doesn't have a good look at the people around him.Yi Guang felt that he hadn't come out of the pain of family ruin, so out of some kind of morality, Yi Guang felt that he should give him some enlightenment and guide him to adapt to life here.

Then he was ridiculed by the other party. The other party obviously felt that he was meddling in other people's business, but Yi Guang felt that this person was probably a tsundere.Because every time he sneered at Yi Guang, he followed Yi Guang's instructions as if he had slapped himself in the face.

"A big man is still arrogant, it's really not rude..." Yi Guang couldn't help sighing when he saw this scene.

Of course, because of the incident that happened in the village, Yi Guang himself has been in a state of depression recently.So for Hawkwood, he just enlightened him.At the same time, he also needs someone from outside the Undead Team to talk to him and relieve his current mood.He felt more and more that his choice to join the Falan Undead Team was a mistake, and he should have chosen to find a place to hide at that time, and then leave this world after the fifteen days of mandatory residence time had passed.Some concepts of this world, or some concepts of Fran, are too far from the three views I originally accepted.

He can understand killing for profit, and he can also understand killing because of the infection of the abyss.But to exterminate a region, this kind of thing is actually the same as when the two fools massacred the city because of the spread of natural disasters... I can understand it, but I always feel that there is a better solution subconsciously. To put it simply, I am facing this kind of thing People will have a mentality of "don't shed tears if you don't see the coffin".

Therefore, Yi Guang did not agree with the actions of the Undead Team, and he also subconsciously felt that there should be a peaceful solution to this matter.Since Akuya can purify the abyss, so can she. After all, she is countless times stronger now than she was then.

"So, now we are going to try to see if we can purify the power of the abyss through the divinity in my body."

No matter how dissatisfied Yi Guang was, it was too late to say anything now, the task had already begun.If he gave up the task now, he would not be able to cure the blood of the ancient god in his body through the first fire.Although there may not be no other way at that time, it is a waste of time and may not be effective after all.Since the system is very sure that the initial fire of this world can cure the hidden dangers in his body, then he still has to listen to her words.Therefore, Yi Guang's only way now is to find evidence and methods that the "Abyss" can be purified, so that the undead team can change their style.

Although Casper sneered at his behavior, Yi Guang still wanted to give it a try... It was not in Yi Guang's character to admit defeat directly.

[But even if you find that method, so what?Most of your abilities cannot be replicated, and cannot be promoted at all. Even if you can purify, you can only save a few people.You don't need to think about getting help from me. Most of the props I have here are only for you. The price of things that can purify the abyss and affect others is not cheap, and they are one-on-one.Still the same sentence, no matter what, you can only save a small number of people. 】

"Then save them." Yi Guang said with a sigh, "Saving one or two survivors is better than no survivors at all."

[But you forgot the situation of cross-infection and secondary infection. For normal humans, the infection of abyssal power is too simple, and it will be [-]% contagious at a glance.In this case, unless you can launch a super-large-scale purification like Akuya, otherwise you have worked so hard to purify, and then people will walk three steps away, see what you shouldn't see, and be infected again... It's the same as nothing. 】

"This..." The corner of Yi Guang's mouth twitched, "It can't be so cheating, right?"

[It’s just so cheating, don’t think too much, otherwise, why don’t there be any ordinary humans in the Falan Undead Team?It is because the human soul is too fragile, and it will be polluted just by seeing it.To be honest, the abyss is a curse based on the underlying laws of the world, which cannot be eliminated and purified by normal methods.Even Akuya back then was able to purify the abyss by relying on her home court advantage as a local viper.After all, the abyss is a special product of this world, and it is the opposite of Chuhuo. If he leaves this world, if he leaves Chuhuo, he will lose his original law foundation, and it will be much easier to eliminate. 】

"So that means, the essence of solving the abyss lies in Chuhuo?" Yi Guang frowned.

[Yes, this is why the undead team is going to spread the fire. Keeping the initial fire vigorous can suppress the abyss to a great extent.Of course, it is only a temporary solution, not the root cause. There are problems with the laws of this world, and any means are just against the world.In fact, in addition to the French Undead Team, there are many people who have made similar efforts.Then, without exception, all failed, and either died or were driven mad by learning the desperate truth about the world. 】

"Then..." Yi Guang felt more and more that this so-called "initial fire" was very unreliable, "Could it be that this world was born with a curse?"

[In a sense, it is like this, the laws of this world, or the 'initial fire' that is the origin of all civilizations, itself has serious flaws.This defect led to the appearance of the abyss, and also caused the world to find people to devote themselves to the initial furnace to continue the flame after a while.The abyss is the result of the weakening of the flame's power. Once the abyss is active, it means that the initial fire is on the verge of extinguishing. 】

The abyss is like the warning given to the world by the first fire, as if this great existence that gave the world light and wisdom is asking for sacrifices from the world through the abyss.However, this is true in fact. Before the appearance of the flame, all things ruled by the ancient dragon were without soul and wisdom. the power of.However, when the flames began to show signs of extinguishing, a large number of powerful souls were needed as fuel to continue the era of flames.The so-called salary king is the "fuel" that has been given such a great title and so-called glory.

When you think about it, this whole thing is an extremely inefficient recycling process.The flame bestows souls on everything in this era, and then uses these souls as fuel. At the same time, its own fire is getting smaller and smaller, and its demand for fuel is also increasing.

This is a trap... Yi Guang is very sure now.

"Then what's the point of pursuing such a deformed world and such a deformed power?" Yi Guang frowned, "Are you sure, this thing won't make my physical condition worse and worse?"

[It won’t be worse than it is now, and obtaining the power of the initial fire is only the first step in my customized plan for you. In order to eliminate possible side effects from the initial fire, I have also prepared follow-up plans for you.However, let's finish the first step now, and we can't be too ambitious in life, and we must first find a way to spread the fire. 】

After being reprimanded by the system again for thinking too much, Yi Guang continued to return to his daily life as the ghost guard of Fran.After conquering the abyss that broke out in Hawkwood Village, Yi Guang's team continued to fight to support other troops.In ten days, Yi Guang and others attacked the abyss pollution in seven or eight villages continuously.Although the scale of these villages is not as large as Hawkwood's, they still have a large population, and none of them survived in the end.

Not even an undead like Hawkwood...

Yi Guang's purification experiment encountered setbacks at the very beginning, because he couldn't accurately grasp the divine power in the flames.The essence of flame is burning and destruction, but Yi Guang wants to use it to heal and purify, but he himself does not have enough knowledge and experience of mastering divine power.In fact, Yi Guang's current use of flame power cannot be called use at all, he just uses it as an enchanting ability and a weapon to kill enemies, and the method of use is also extremely simple and rude energy release.

If you want to find a way to purify the abyss by yourself at this level, of course you will fail.The divine power of the flame burned the bodies of those infected in an instant, turning them into ashes.And those who welcome Yi Guang are often dismissed by Casper and Hawkwood's "persuasion".

"Don't waste your precious flame power anymore. Even if it is a god, the power of flame is extremely precious. Why waste it on these abyss infected people? You know, once the flame on your body is weakened, then you will also be infected. The danger of infection... Speaking of it, I really didn't see it, are you actually a god? Why did the gods come to this kind of place? Shouldn't they live in the castle of Iluziel or Lothric?"

Correction, Hawkwood is not only a tsundere, but also a talker.
