Chapter 610 Gray Smoke
When Gervis took out another material for configuring the Heart of the Dead from the space ring, No. 1 also returned to the dark world and looked at this somewhat gloomy world for the first time.
He was on a barren hill with a red blood moon in the sky. The surrounding sky was hazy as if covered by smoke, making the dark world full of depression and death. This was the place where Gervis had contracted them.
Number One didn’t know how many years he had lived here, maybe a hundred years, maybe a thousand years, or even ten thousand years.
But it was not until this moment that it truly looked at its surroundings for the first time and gained an understanding of where it lived, because at this time it already had independent consciousness.
After taking in the surroundings for a moment, No. 1 withdrew his gaze and then looked at the five dazed gray skeletons beside him.
Because they are all contracted skeleton soldiers of Gervis, No. 1 can instinctively distinguish between them and his enemies.
The five gray skeletons were already wearing armor, holding a small round shield in their left hands and long swords on their waists. If it weren't for the exposed white bones, they would look like majestic human warriors.
The five gray skeletons did not know that No. 1 had changed, but instinctively gathered around the strong No. 1 among them.
Because this makes them feel safe, and it is their instinct that prompts them to behave this way.
“Crack, crack!”
Looking at his five gray skeleton companions, No. 1 remembered the instructions of his Supreme King to make himself stronger and wipe out all the king's enemies.
So Number One kept opening and closing his mouth, making crackling sounds at the five skeletons, wanting to help them become stronger.
But after Number One talked for a long time, the gray skeletons were still confused and stood around Number One stupidly, obviously not knowing what Number One meant.
Number One was so angry when he saw the reactions of the few people that he came directly to the front of the gray skeletons and gave each of them a blow on the head on the helmet.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
As No. 1's brain exploded, several gray skeletons finally reacted. They raised their empty eye sockets and looked at No. 1, not understanding why their "teammates" would attack them.
“Crack, crack!”
clang!
When Number One saw that the gray skeletons finally focused their attention on him, he immediately started talking again. Then, without caring whether the gray skeletons understood what he meant or not, he drew out the long sword at his waist with a clang and walked towards the wandering wild skeletons not far away.
The five gray skeletons looked at No. 1's actions. Although they were still full of confusion, they hesitated for a moment, then drew the long swords at their waists and followed No. 1.
Although they have no consciousness and don't know what No. 1 asks them to do, they still have the ability to imitate, such as drawing a sword.
As for following No. 1, of course, they will follow wherever "security" goes.
Soon, No. 1 came close to several gray skeletons wandering unconsciously, and behind it were five gray skeletons holding long swords following sparsely.
Number One ignored the gray skeleton behind him, but raised his sword and slashed at a wild gray skeleton in front of him.
Snap!
The Mithril Sword is very sharp, and No. 1 already has the strength of a mid-level bronze.
So this sword directly cut the wild gray skeleton into two pieces, and the skull with gray soul fire rolled to the ground.
Snap!
Number One did not pause as he took two steps forward and came to the gray skull's head. He then raised his white and light green foot bones and stepped down hard.
With a crackling sound, the skull that rolled to the ground was crushed by No. 1. At the moment the skull was crushed, the original gray soul fire was immediately extinguished, and then a small wisp of gray smoke emerged.
The scene was just like what happens when a candle goes out. The wisp of grey smoke was visible to the naked eye but was very tiny.
When the thin gray smoke slowly rose up and was about to dissipate with the wind, No. 1 suddenly leaned forward and inhaled the gray smoke into his nasal cavity before it disappeared.
When the gray smoke entered No. 1's head, the green soul fire in No. 1's mind suddenly flashed, and then returned to normal.
“Crack! Crack!”
After absorbing the gray smoke, No. 1 did not act immediately, but said something to the five gray skeletons behind him who were still holding swords and standing there in a daze.
Although the gray skeletons were stunned, they had seen No. 1's actions before, and they all sensed that the small wisp of gray smoke was something they desired very much.
So, several gray skeletons instinctively raised their swords and walked towards the wild skeleton soldiers around them.
Although they have no independent consciousness, they are unaware of the cause and effect relationship of obtaining this wisp of gray smoke by killing the wild gray skeletons.
But they can imitate, so several skeletons each found a wild skeleton soldier as their target.
Snap! Snap!
Next, the sound of bones being chopped could be heard continuously near the wasteland.
Number One looked at the actions of his five younger brothers, and the soul fire in his head beat even more violently.
He was not pleased that his stupid subordinates finally learned how to fight, but was irritated by the gray skeleton soldiers.
Because several skeleton soldiers were really thorough imitations, their attack methods were exactly the same as No. 1's before, they would first chop off the heads of the wild skeleton soldiers with a long sword, and then crush them with their feet.
It was something that could be solved with one sword, but these little brothers insisted on imitating his previous actions, which made No. 1 angry.
He just wanted to demonstrate to a few stupid brothers and show off his bravery.
But they all imitated No. 1's bravery, which made it difficult for No. 1 to stand out as the big brother.
Of course, the soul fire in No. 1's brain only flashed for a moment. After a moment, he no longer paid attention to the five stupid brothers, but directly began to harvest his wild skeleton soldiers.
The other five gray skeletons tasted the sweetness of the gray smoke for the first time. Then, without No. 1 urging them any further, they raised their swords and joined in the action of killing the wild skeletons.
…
Gervis had no idea what magical effects the skeleton soldiers with intelligence would have.
He spent the entire afternoon in the training room purifying the materials for making the Heart of the Dead, and he worked until dark.
After dark, he rushed to the cafeteria to have a good meal, and in the evening, Gervis began to practice fighting spirit again.
Nothing happened that night, and Gervis got up early the next day.
Today's class was not a professional lecture, so he still planned to go and listen.
After all, his knowledge of the Sacred Continent is very limited, and learning more about it will be helpful for him to travel to the Sacred Forest in the future!
Thanks to "Hanze Yuxue" and "Fengshi" for the rewards!!!
