Chapter 282 Humanoid Power Bank
After the teleportation array was set up, Nietzsche selected a few players with long arms to attack the monsters.
Although the pressure was always there, except for being forced to freeze for a while at the beginning, the players gradually got used to the feeling of sluggish movement, and they flew with the wind while complaining.
The ground was full of wandering headless men, and no one dared to land rashly. Several players could only fly over together and approach the BOSS cautiously.
Although the underground was full of red fog, visibility was not too low. As we got closer and closer to the BOSS, the BOSS gradually emerged through the fog.
It was a huge, deformed monster, made of blackened bones. Its winding spine was made of skulls connected to each other. Its narrow head was made of various broken bones. Two black eye sockets were exposed on its skull, which were empty. Next to the spine, there was a pair of bone wings. The wings looked several meters wide. If they were unfolded, they would be at least ten meters long.
According to legend, Yinglong has wings but no horns, so this artificially created monster also has wings but no horns. Its long body is twisted on the ground, and its bony wings rise and fall with the rhythm of its "breathing".
Looking more closely, under its head, under the spine not far from the bony wings, there was actually a blood-red spherical object that expanded and shrank with the rhythm of the monster's movement, just like a heart.
That was not actually a heart, but a "dragon ball".
"Dragon Ball?"
Fang Xianyu didn't know much about the dragon clan, but he knew that most dragon balls were golden or silver-white, and would not emit such strong and disturbing resentment.
"It's obviously a fake dragon ball made by someone," Junchou explained, "to help this fake Yinglong collect the power of souls."
Fang Xianyu suddenly realized, "I understand now. The reason why these headless people are in a state of both life and death is because there is a trace of fetal light left in their bodies. The spiritual stone mine underground can continuously produce spiritual energy to repair the fetal light souls of these headless people. And this fake Yinglong relies on this fake dragon ball to continuously absorb the power of the headless people's fetal light souls. Over time, this fake Yinglong will eventually transform... or evolve, and it will succeed in evolving!"
After analyzing this, she gnashed her teeth and said, "Brilliant! Really brilliant! The person who designed this 'ecosystem' is truly a genius! This is using humans as human-shaped 'power banks'!"
"As expected of you, you are the leader of Taiyin... Taiyin Sect. You actually guessed most of it," Junchou complimented casually before adding, "However, the soul left in the headless man's body is not Taiguang, but Youjing."
After hearing this, Fang Xianyu's expression became even colder.
It is almost universally known in the Guixu world that people have three souls and seven spirits, and it is also an objective fact.
The three souls are the heavenly soul, the fetal light, the earthly soul, and the living soul, the youjing.
The Heavenly Soul and Fetal Light control life. When a person is conceived, this Heavenly Soul is born, so it is called "Fetal Light". Because it is innate, it is also called "Heavenly Soul". When a person loses the soul of Fetal Light, he also loses his life. Under normal circumstances, a soul without Fetal Light cannot even take over another body.
The Earth Soul Shuangling controls spiritual intelligence. Shuangling will slowly condense and grow after the fetal light is born. This is why younger children are more stupid and ignorant. In the Blue Star Realm, it is explained as the brain is not fully developed, while in the Guixu Realm, it is explained as Shuangling is not fully grown.
The living soul, the ghost spirit, controls the mind, as the name suggests, it controls people's desire to survive, perseverance and other spiritual aspects. Beings like evil spirits mostly retain the ghost spirit, so they can survive in the form of souls. The ghost spirit is also the strongest, most solid and most vital soul among the three souls. It is the only one that can survive independently from the other two souls when there is no body, so it is also called the "living soul".
As for the seven souls, they are different. According to the most popular saying in Zhongzhou, they are Corpse Dog Soul, Hidden Arrow Soul, Sparrow Yin Soul, Swallowing Thief Soul, Non-Poison Soul, Eliminating Filth Soul, and Stinky Lung Soul. However, in the Ten Continents and Three Islands, the names of the Three Souls and Seven Souls are different in different places, but there is no obvious difference in the general understanding and classification of them.
No matter what, this act of sealing the spirit of the living soul in a headless body and turning a person into an immortal monster is so vicious that it is outrageous. When Fang Xianyu thought about how many years these poor people had been trapped here as "power banks", he could hardly restrain his murderous intent.
On the other side, the players who knew nothing about these things were discussing the monster's whereabouts enthusiastically -
"Is it a snake with wings? It looks scary!"
"It doesn't seem that long. That head looks like a dragon's skull?"
"You talk as if you've seen a dragon..."
"I haven't seen it, but there are posts on the forum with screenshots of hand-drawn drafts of what the dragon bones look like, and they are indeed similar to this!"
"Wow! A bone dragon? How cool!"
"A winged dragon? Is this the child of Ao Guang and Alduin? A cross between a giant lizard and a sea loach? "
"Fuck Ao Guang and Alduin..."
While several players were talking nonsense, the people pointed out by Nietzsche were gradually approaching the BOSS.
Renxin Huadao was a practitioner of magic, and his arms were one of the longest in the group. After he and several other players approached the BOSS, he was the first to attack, performing a thunder spell to strike the BOSS.
However, the expected BOSS activation did not occur. The monster was struck by lightning, but it seemed not to be hurt at all. It ignored the players hovering above its head, and even its "breathing" did not change.
Ren Xinhuadao and several other players looked at each other, all with confusion on their faces.
Afterwards, they attacked the monster again in tacit understanding, using thunder spells, fireballs, various talismans and flying swords, but the BOSS still didn't even glance at them, still lying there quietly, like an old monk in meditation, completely unaware of the outside world.
This stunned all the players, and some immediately questioned: "Captain, is this a bug? The boss is completely ignoring us!"
"Maybe it's a welfare copy!"
"Maybe it's a new adventure! I always have the illusion that I'm going to become rich!"
Nietzsche also hesitated for a moment, and simply said: "Maybe this is a standing BOSS, everyone go over and stand and fight!"
Following Nietzsche's order, the players rushed over excitedly, showing off their skills and starting to attack the BOSS fiercely.
But this BOSS had a lot of health. After several minutes of hard work, the thick health bar was only reduced by a little blood. Its bones were harder than iron, and all kinds of magic and weapons could not even scratch it!
What the players don’t know is that, in fact, the monsters whose health was reduced had not been broken at all!
