Chapter 277 Northeast Tiger?

The reason why necromancers are so disgusting is mainly because all of these guys' magic is related to corpses. The corpses cannot rest in peace after death, which is unpleasant for anyone!

More importantly, the soul fire used by the necromancer to drive the corpse would normally have nothing to do with the corpse itself.

Those are the loose soul fragments that are condensed through necromancy to form a temporary, stitched soul body that only obeys the necromancer in order to achieve the purpose of controlling the corpse.

Because they are soul fragments, there is no such thing as memory of life. They are just in a daze, waiting to dissipate.

Moreover, even the necromancer himself cannot determine what race these fragments came from. They could be monsters, shit monsters, humans... or maybe all of the above!

That's why the world hates necromancers so much.

It is disgusting enough that the body is played with after death, and there is even the possibility that it will be occupied by a large number of non-indigenous people. How is this different from being cheated on?

So no one likes necromancers.

Sheila herself doesn't like, well, other necromancers.

By the way, what Emily learned about the physical characteristics of necromancers from novels was actually correct.

Many necromancers are perverts. The longer they stay with corpses, the more they like them.

Some even happen with rotting corpses…

Let’s skip this one. Ahem. Anyway——

Most necromancers will inevitably contract some strange diseases due to long-term close contact with corpses. Some necromancers even cease to be living people in pursuit of immortality.

Therefore, body decay is commonplace, diseases are common, hair becomes sparse, face is covered with ulcers, and feet have pus. These are actually normal.

But again, not all necromancers are like that, like Sheila.

Ji Ruo finally understood how Sheila gained her super strong perception ability.

It turns out that after entering the dungeon, this group of people secretly used necromancy to summon skeleton scouts to explore the front.

The skeleton scout was not big in size, and its skeleton was carried by Sheila.

It is mainly made of fish bones or rabbit bones, especially rabbit bones. After being awakened by magic, the soul flame will form two dark green strips of flame on its head, which look very much like rabbit ears and can bend and tremble freely.

Although these small skeleton scouts are armed with tiny bone weapons, they don't actually have much offensive power - for example, even if they try their best, they can't cause even the slightest damage.

Besides, these curious-looking little guys look oddly cute.

Emily was originally afraid of Sheila, but her attention was soon attracted by some cute little skeleton scouts.

"You're so cute, can I touch you?"

"Why is it so hard?"

"Hiss—Why did this bunny stab me with a bone sword? It hurts! It's not cute at all!"

Seeing Emily chanting therapy with an angry look on her face, Ji Ruo and Sheila were silent.

It's bone, how can it not be hard?

However, it was precisely because of this little episode that Emily's attitude towards Sheila changed a little.

She even quietly asked Sheila if she could be taught this technique, as she also wanted to have a cute little skeleton pet to play with.

Sheila rolled her eyes and ignored her.

"Ji Ruo, my scout told me that there is no way forward. Can you really lead the way?"

"Of course."

Ji Ruo gently stroked the seemingly hard wall in front of him, his fingers trembling slightly.

A faint yet tenacious strange force penetrated the stone wall, and a slightly abstract picture was slowly being constructed in Ji Ruo's mind. That was the scene behind the stone wall.

Although he already possesses divine consciousness, Ji Ruo himself does not have many believers, and all of them are dead, so Ji Ruo's divine power is not very strong, and the abilities that come with the status of a god cannot actually become stronger for the time being.

Spiritual consciousness greatly enhanced Ji Ruo's perception ability, but that perception was not very clear. This was the case even when there was no obstruction, let alone penetrating the stone wall.

At this point, that is pure wishful thinking.

Therefore, it is better to use the warrior's method. This method is a more common detection method for warriors. Because of the strong control over the physical body, warriors only need to remember some general "frequencies" and can use this method to detect the hidden environment behind the soil, stone and even metal.

Of course, this detection method will have deviations due to factors such as the material, thickness, shape, etc. of various obstructions, but it can still guarantee an accuracy rate of about 70%.

And it's not difficult, the key is that it is easy to use.

"Ji Ruo?"

Sheila looked at Ji Ruo who was groping on the wall with some confusion, not understanding what this strange fighter was doing.

As a necromancer, there is actually not much difference between him and a magician in essence, except that the range of techniques he masters is very narrow.

Therefore, Sheila has a strong sense of the surrounding elements.

However, from beginning to end, she did not feel any trace of elemental fluctuations from Ji Ruo.

Not even when he was about to release the palm thunder.

That's why she was so surprised.

Without elemental fluctuations, how can you create thunder with your bare hands?

Even in this world where many gods coexist, this is hard to believe.

Emily was also confused: "Shouldn't we explore the ninth floor to find treasures? What are you doing?"

"Don't worry... I found it!"

Ji Ruo grinned, and the hand that was touching the wall suddenly straightened up, with the fingertips touching the wall——

He raised his palm and turned it into a fist, then struck down at close range!

Wing Chun Inch Punch!

A clear fist mark was imprinted on the wall, and then fine cracks quickly spread in all directions with the fist mark as the center.

"Ka-ka-ka~"

The two girls' faces changed drastically and they retreated one after another.

However, the wall simply shattered with a loud bang, revealing a "world" made of countless metals behind it.

Yes, it's 'the world'!

Who would have thought that behind this wall there was an enormous space filled with all kinds of metals, shining coldly and revealing its sharp edge!

All the metals are irregular and colorful, and it looks like there is more than one type of metal.

"Alien gold vein?!" the two girls were speechless.

They also didn't expect that Ji Ruo would lead them to find such a huge treasure.

Although there are ore veins in every dungeon, and because of the disordered geological veins, the ores have even undergone rough natural quenching, and the exposed ore is of high purity...but those who enter the dungeon are adventurers - what kind of adventurer would go to the dungeon specifically to mine!

Moreover, the value of ores of the same volume and weight is not as good as other loot, and more importantly, it is inconvenient to carry. Therefore, under normal circumstances, these ores that can glow in the dark dungeon are regarded as "lights", and generally no adventurer will target these ores.

But now it’s different, this is an entire mine!

Moreover, it is a rare "Xenometallic Ore Vein". The ore is of high purity and contains more than just one type of metal...

Sheila and Emily pouted after being shocked.

It is valuable, but it is not easy to carry.

Space equipment is very expensive!

The value of the mineral vein is not low, but there is no need to take it because it cannot be taken away.

Ji Ruo looked at this countless metal overlapping structure with no place for pyramids and seemingly inaccessible metal veins. Even his [First Intuition] could not construct a complete 'white line' for it.

All the 'white lines' are broken... Of course, this does not mean that there is no life here. In fact, each white line is extremely solid. The reason why they are broken is that walking is not feasible, and you have to jump to get there.

As Ji Ruo's sight shifted, the countless 'white lines' were constantly changing - there was no absolute way out!

Even if these metal ores do not move, it would be difficult to live in them.

Feeling the faint, strange magnetic field, the Eight Pole Heavens were passively moving, and an unexplored acupoint in the body was beginning to stir.

"So it's steel... Xunwei..."

Emily lost interest after being shocked. She pulled Ji Ruo's arm and said, "Ji Ruo, let's explore other places first. We can't bring much of these ores. There's no need."

At this time, a piece of metal shaped like a shell beetle was swaying towards Ji Ruo and others, as if it was very curious about the sudden visitors.

Ji Ruo glanced at the metal beetle and thought to himself that there really was a special metal creature. Then, Ji Ruo suddenly took out a peculiarly shaped marker.

"Don't worry, those treasures won't run away. Don't rush to explore, I'll draw something first."

…

…

"An adventurer has reached the ninth floor so soon? Tsk, it seems he came down through my exclusive passage..."

Somewhere on the ninth floor, a sneaky figure was moving through the lowest level of the dungeon, as fast as a ghost.

It ignores the complex terrain and moves as if it were flat ground, quickly placing the treasure chests that have been prepared in advance in various places.

“Although it may seem like cheating, we have finally got adventurers here, and we cannot let them find anything unusual. If they return alive and tell other adventurers that there is nothing but monsters on the ninth floor, that would be bad. I haven’t chosen a priest yet!”

As He walked through, He took out a large number of treasures from His own divine space and placed them according to the positions that had been planned long ago.

Suddenly, a dark shadow emerged from the side. It was an ugly-looking ogre.

The ogre has sharp teeth that can crush and swallow even the hardest bones. It takes advantage of the god's inattention to launch a sneak attack and bites the god hard.

"clang~"

Broken teeth flew everywhere, but the god kept moving forward.

"Huh? Did something bite me just now?"

The god was puzzled, shook his head, and continued to place it.

He didn't notice at all that there was a dark shadow following him closely.

Every time the god put down a treasure, the black shadow picked up a treasure.

One puts down and the other takes. After running all over the ninth floor, I couldn't find any treasure except the various materials of the monsters themselves.

“It’s done!”

The god stopped walking and said with a bit of pride: "Adventurers, use everything you have to please me. Do whatever it takes to become my priest! Hahahaha!"

The god stood with his hands on his hips and laughed wildly. In the corner, a dark figure was carrying a camera and recording everything.

…

…

Allometallic veins.

"Ji Ruo, this place is not open to humans. If you want ore, just take these from outside...ah!"

The ore inside was of high purity, and it looked as if it had been smelted. Its toughness and sharpness were quite high, and Emily's fingers were cut just by touching it.

Countless metals are intertwined, like countless sharp blades with odd angles, both sharp and tough.

Even Shira's skeleton scouts couldn't move normally in it. If they just walked around, they would be cut into pieces.

If it were a human, it would be impossible to walk in it.

"I'm not mining, I just want to paint something."

Ji Ruo held the marker he had just redeemed, followed the "white line" in his eyes, and jumped into the mine.

Ding~

The metal makes a slight humming sound as it is stressed.

The sound continued to spread and soon became one.

A large amount of metal trembled slightly, forming a small cutting area around it that was invisible to the naked eye!

Ji Ruo's expression changed, and the 'white lines' in his eyes became dozens of times more complicated in an instant. Moreover, as the resonance continued, the complexity of the 'white lines' continued to increase.

Not only that, the strange resonance is also subtly affecting the flow of qi and blood in Ji Ruo's body.

Let his qi and blood tremble as well!

Even with Ji Ruo's strength, jumping in it still felt a bit difficult.

If one is not careful, the skin will be cut by the invisible blades produced by the vibration of the metal - because he wants to practice the Eight Extremes, Ji Ruo temporarily disperses the protective energy of the Vajra Indestructible Divine Art.

"Amazing... How is it possible for the human body to be so flexible?!"

Because of surprise, Sheila opened her mouth slightly, with an unbelievable look. She subconsciously nudged Emily with her elbow and asked in a low voice: "Can you do this?"

"Me? How is that possible!"

"Aren't you elves known as the most agile creatures? As the darlings of the forest, you usually jump around on the trees."

Emily glared at Sheila with resentment and said, "How can you say that we elves are like monkeys?"

"Ahem, my fault. Anyway, you should understand what I mean."

Emily sighed and said, "It's flexible, yes... but we are dancing on a tree. Do you think this is a tree?"

Emily said as she reached out her hand toward the trembling metal ore.

This time, before she even touched it, her little hand was cut by the invisible blade.

"Look, I can't even get close. If you let me in, I'll die."

"…Just tell me, why are you reaching out?"

"Isn't this because I'm afraid you won't believe it?"

“…”

The two girls looked at Ji Ruo who was jumping continuously in the forest of metal blades with complicated expressions.

Is this really something a human fighter can do?

Sheila's eyes flickered, and she thought to herself: Why did Mother Earth let me get close to this guy? Did she want me to become a fighter too?

Sheila fell into deep thought.

At this moment, Ji Ruo was concentrating on practicing the Eight Extreme Heavens and was completely unaware of the two girls' mental activities.

In the original novel, although the Eight Extreme Heavens are known to have the strongest fighting skills, in reality, the eight extremely harsh planets can only give practitioners a strong physique. The moves are all figured out by the fighters themselves.

For example, 'Golden Skyline' is a move created by Milong II.

And by Ji Ruo's end, the Eight Extreme Heavens had become a cultivation method that could perfectly match the Xingxuan Realm.

"Hoo! (What are you doing? Can you be more obedient?)"

Perhaps the noisy sound of the metal resonance disturbed the local indigenous people, and a metal tiger roared and stood up, glaring at Ji Ruo.

Ji Ruo was still adapting to this ever-increasing strange resonance, and the strange metal magnetic field was also constantly increasing with the resonance.

Facing the roaring golden tiger, Ji raised his palms while leaping, and his muscles simulated metal resonance, causing his palms to vibrate rapidly with a very small amplitude.

laugh--

"Break the sheath!"

The sword flashed, sharp and boundless!

Ji Ruo's palm was like an extremely sharp sword, with an edge that could even cut through the scabbard that contained it. He lightly slashed across the golden tiger's body, sparks flew everywhere, and left a clear scratch.

"How dare you touch me?!"

The golden tiger was enraged and raised its claws to strike, but Ji Ruo had already jumped away.

The marker in the other hand keeps leaving marks in this metal world.
