The Portal of Wonderland

Undead interface.

The sky is still gray, with lead clouds and low pressure, and the wind is like a knife.

Looking up through the clouds, there is still endless gray, giving people an extremely depressing feeling.

Near a barren hill, a human-shaped skeleton with only one arm and a tattered body was slowly walking forward.

The bones on the skeleton were missing many roots, and there were several serious cracks, especially at the ribs, which almost cut its body in two.

Every time the skeleton took a step, its body would make a creaking sound, as if it was about to fall apart.

But even so, the one-armed skeleton insisted on walking forward, but every time it walked a certain distance, it would stop for a while, and look up at the twelve blood moons in the sky for a while, with two dots in the black eye sockets The green flame flickered slowly.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, the skeleton finally stepped onto a black soil slope, looked around for a while, and was about to move forward in one direction.

At this moment, the soil around its feet split open suddenly, and a white shadow sprang out. It was a strange white insect with the thickness of an arm, like a snake. It opened its mouth full of fangs, and bit the one-armed skeleton's ankle.

The green fire in the eye sockets of the one-armed skeleton flickered slightly, but it stopped and still bit its ankle with the strange insect.

The white and fat body of the monster writhed wildly, biting hard, making a tooth-piercing creaking sound, as if it wanted to bite off the skeleton's bones and devour them.

But at the next moment, the body of the one-armed skeleton suddenly bent, and with a wave of one arm, a shadow passed by, and at an unimaginable speed, it grabbed the back half of the white monster's body.

There was a soft hiss!

The one-armed skeleton pulled suddenly, and the white monster didn't have time to let go. Its body was already torn in two, and the other end was still hanging on the ankle of the skeleton.

This series of actions was as fast as lightning, making it hard to imagine that it was made by a skeleton that was about to fall apart!

And the previous unavoidable move seemed to be a trap deliberately set!

The one-armed skeleton opened its mouth and sucked lightly.

A ball of green light the size of a bean flew out from the corpse of the white monster insect, and the skeleton opened its mouth and swallowed it.

The green flames in the eye sockets of the one-armed skeleton flickered slightly, and became a little more vigorous, and a faint black mist appeared on the body.

Where the black mist touched, some cracks on a certain rib on its body began to shrink.

The black mist also became thinner and thinner until it disappeared.

After the green flames of the skeleton's eyes flickered a few times, it continued to walk forward at the same slow speed as before, as if the previous scene had never happened at all.

...

Shi Mu left Ju Shishu's residence and quickly returned to his own stone house.

After closing the door, Shi Mu sat down, with a hint of excitement in his eyes.

The experiment with Uncle Ju this time allowed him to appreciate the wonder of the world of soul masters, and judging from this experiment, the possibility of him becoming a soul master is not small.

It's just that the cost of a soul master seems to be more outrageous than that of other types of warlocks, even at the speed at which he is earning money now, it seems a bit unbearable.

Shi Mu was silent for a moment, took out the thin book from his arms, and carefully read it from beginning to end.

Then he found a pen and paper and calculated carefully.

As a result, the roughly calculated number shocked him a lot!

If you want to arrange this summoning circle, you need at least 400,000 taels of silver, and it's not considered a mistake in the arrangement.

Shi Mu smiled wryly, and put the book away.

A few days ago, the batch of talismans from the Zunling Pavilion had been handed over, and another sum of money had entered the account. Now he only has about 300,000 taels of silver, which is at least a shortfall of 100,000 taels.

In addition, his practice of spells and prajna celestial phenomena now require silver support, and it is absolutely impossible for him to stop practicing for the sake of summoning.

Shi Mu sighed, it seemed that he hadn't even thought about summoning that skeleton recently.

After pondering for a while, he took out the bottle of Golden Lizard's venom.

Since the skeleton cannot be summoned for a while, it is better to deal with the meteorite black knife first.

With the venom of the golden lizard, it is possible to promote this black knife into a magic weapon, but he can't do it alone, so he needs to ask Zhao Ping for help.

With his current status as a talisman master, I believe Zhao Ping will not refuse, but what kind of talisman formation to engrave on the black knife still needs to be considered.

Thinking so, Shi Mu took out the Jade Slip of the Spirit Talisman Treasure Scripture, and carefully flipped through the various talisman formations on it.

...

Three days later, Zhao's blacksmith shop.

Haha, Junior Brother Shi is really amazing. It took only a few days to get so much venom from the Golden Lizard. That Golden Lizard is Master Ju's treasure. We did not know how much effort it took to get it from the Lihuo Society. A little bit of venom. You took such a big bottle easily, I admire, admire! In a living room inside the blacksmith shop, Zhao Ping carefully looked at the porcelain bottle in his hand, and said in admiration.

I just happened to do a little favor for Master Ju a few days ago, so I got these. With this bottle of venom, I can try to promote this knife to a talisman weapon. I also need to ask Brother Zhao Help me a little bit. Shi Mu picked up a teacup, took a sip of tea, and said with a smile.

Of course there is no problem with this. Since this Meteorite Iron Knife is made by me, I naturally want to refine it into a magic weapon myself. Zhao Ping nodded without hesitation.

When Shi Mu came this time, he had already brought a large sum of talismans that he had requested before.

Such a large number of talismans, handed over to other talisman masters, may not be able to complete in a month, but Shi Mu only spent a few days.

This made Zhao Ping's desire to win over Shi Mu even stronger.

It's better to hit the sun than to choose the day. Let's start right away. The younger brother will follow me. Zhao Ping stood up and walked towards the inside.

The two soon came to a stone house, which was the fire room of the blacksmith's shop. Out of scorching heat.

At this moment, in the stone house, a few big men with upper body Chi Jing were forging weapons, and the sound of ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping was heard endlessly.

When these big men saw Zhao Ping and Shi Mu coming in, they all nodded and said hello.

Zhao Ping ignored these people and brought Shi Mu to the innermost part of the stone house, a closed stone room.

This is a fire room for my own use, which is better than those outside. Zhao Ping said, pushing the door open and entering.

Shi Mu followed in, and suddenly felt a wave of scorching air blowing towards his face, and the door of the fire room behind him was closed again by Zhao Ping.

This stone room is small in size, and it is built with an invisible black stone. There is also a stove in it, but it is much smaller than the one outside.

However, the flames from the stove showed a slightly pure white color, and the temperature emitted was much higher than that outside, and even the air above the stove had faint ripples.

Apart from the stove and a casting table, there is nothing else in the stone chamber.
