Chapter 991 Bam's Message
"Oh my god! What did you do? Are you playing a trick on me or something?"
"What a fuss."
Bam rolled his eyes and raised his head proudly.
"That body shape is just because a lot of nutrients are stored in my body. I just need to speed up the absorption of nutrients a little bit, and I will naturally lose weight."
As he spoke, the smugness on Bam's face became even more obvious.
"By the way, why are you here? You can't be here to chat with me, right?"
Although Bam is young, he is not stupid.
It was obvious that he had long seen that Zhou Xu was a person who would not come to the temple unless there was something important. It could be said that he was exactly the same as before.
Now that he suddenly comes here, there must be something wrong.
Of course, he didn't know what it was exactly.
After hearing this, Zhou Xu didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point and stated his purpose.
After listening, Bam was thoughtful.
"This thing you're talking about seems to be a corpse demon."
"Tell me more specifically, how much do you know?"
Hearing this word, Zhou Xu suddenly perked up and started asking questions.
Bam did not hide this, because he knew that he and Zhou Xu now shared a common destiny.
"I don't know much. After all, I have never been on the battlefield. I have basically heard about it. Corpse Demons are a kind of summoned creatures, summoned through a sacrificial ritual."
"This ritual has a special feature, that is, the first person to die is the caster. After the caster dies, the ritual will be fully launched, devouring all the sacrifices in the area and condensing into a corpse demon."
"But corpse demons are generally easy to deal with."
Bam's words made Zhou Xu's expression become a little subtle.
Although they had successfully defeated the corpse demon twice, it was obviously not that easy to deal with.
In those two situations, the slightest mistake could have resulted in heavy casualties for their side.
Although Bam is now in the state of "I haven't done it, but I have heard of it" king of talking.
However, with the hope that he might get some useful information, Zhou Xu still patiently waited for his next words.
"As a summoned creature, the corpse demon itself is not of a high level. It is just a means used by some weak forces to overturn the table when they are unable to defeat them in the end."
Having said that, Bam paused, and then looked at Zhou Xu with a slightly strange expression.
"You told me this."
“…”
Zhou Xu never thought that he had something to do with this. It felt a bit weird.
"Uh, go on."
After hearing this, Bam coughed twice and imitated Zhou Xu's expression and tone at that time, performing it vividly.
"They are said to be a weak force, and they don't have any powerful means. After spending a lot of money, the biggest advantage of the corpse demon they summoned is that it is big, but it has no brains. It doesn't distinguish between enemies and me, and it is stubborn. This is a fatal flaw."
"Find the right opportunity, defeat it with one strike, and then continue to attack it. It won't even be able to recover."
"Or just ignore it. It takes a huge amount of energy to maintain its large size, and all of this energy comes from the organisms it devours. The larger its size, the more energy it consumes."
"As long as the corpse demon cannot continue to obtain stable energy, it will consume energy over time and become smaller and smaller. At that time, it will not pose much of a threat."
They have roughly analyzed the information that Bam provided earlier.
However, it was mentioned later that the corpse demon itself was also continuously consuming energy, which was a new discovery.
Of course, Zhou Xu didn't think he could really just ignore it.
This method may sound convenient at first glance, but in fact the conditions for its use are quite harsh.
Take the situation outside the Southern Border Fortress for example. If they had not cared, the corpse demons would have rushed straight into their border fortress. By then, the entire fortress would have been reduced to ruins. The loss would have been huge.
Not to mention that behind the fortress, there is their southern border post station.
If you are not careful, the situation will get out of control.
In this case, it is impossible to ignore it completely, but if they encounter similar situations in the future, they can take advantage of this characteristic to better consume the corpse demon.
"Anything else?"
“Something else.”
Bam thought about it. Although he was not old enough to be forgetful, this happened too long ago after all. It was not easy for him to remember everything at once.
"Oh yes, there really is."
As he spoke, Bam's face straightened and he gave him a slightly annoying smile.
"Don't worry about it. The method of summoning corpse demons is quite special and does not belong to any specific force. Generally speaking, those who use this method are most likely being used as a gun."
Having said that, Bam suddenly changed the subject.
"Of course, don't worry about who's behind this. This is a program that will automatically trigger when a target that meets the requirements is found. It doesn't necessarily mean that someone is targeting you. It may just be that you are unlucky and ran into someone. Don't be too nervous for now. At the same time, don't continue to explore. Knowing too much is not a good thing."
After saying that, Bam collapsed. Looking at Zhou Xu who looked a little dazed, he added...
"You said before that if you ask me this question in the future, I will tell you this."
Zhou Xu raised his eyebrows slightly after receiving this reply.
He had previously compared some mantras to programs, and the word was mentioned again in the sentence conveyed by Bam.
"When a target that meets the conditions is found, the program will be automatically triggered"
As he muttered to himself, Zhou Xu felt that his thoughts were slowly becoming clearer.
[In other words, the ratman met certain conditions, and then a certain "automatically triggered program" found him, causing the ratman leader to change his temperament drastically, and in extreme cases, he performed a sacrificial ceremony and summoned the corpse demon. ]
【In general, it is closer to an accident? 】
[But in the end he said, 'knowing too much is not a good thing.' I remember Bam said before that the enemy they were dealing with at the time would be dangerous just by knowing the existence of the other party, and it was safest to know nothing...]
At this moment, Zhou Xu's thoughts quickly connected with the information he had obtained earlier.
As his thoughts raced, Zhou Xu's eyes fell on Bam.
"Knowing too much is not a good thing. Are you sure I told you that?"
Faced with this question, Bam was stunned for a moment, then after some further recollection, he nodded vigorously.
"Sure, that's what it said."
Okay, now Zhou Xu is basically certain.
Since I couldn't bring up the other person directly, my then-self told myself not to continue exploring the issue, and at the same time, I reminded him through Bam's mouth.
Remind him that this 'automatically triggered program' is related to the unknown enemy! (End of this chapter)
