Chapter 603: Everything for the Bone God
The scarlet gate of hell opened in the kingdom of the God of Alchemy, and the laws between the two planes began to come into contact, and violent red lightning burst out in the air.
Seeing this crazy look, Amber Xiu couldn't help but say, "Sure enough, Zariel has done something. Wouldn't this blow up all the mercury spirit figurines to death?!"
The God of Alchemy shook his head and said, "You think too much. The laws of the Kingdom of God and Hell are simply too different. The rules I wrote are not compatible with Hell. This is normal. If you return to the main material plane and open this door, this effect will not exist."
"I'm doing this just to be on the safe side...but this really doesn't make sense!"
Amber touched his chin, unable to figure it out. The reason why he opened it in the Kingdom of the God of Alchemy was because he was afraid that Zariel had some conspiracy and could still withstand it in the Kingdom of God.
Now he found that Zariel had not done anything wrong, so why did he suddenly become so easy to talk to? The God of Alchemy was also a little confused, but he was not as suspicious as Amber, so he did what he had to do.
"Go, my children, you are the creations of alchemy, show those devils and demons what you are capable of."
The entangled lightning began to subside, and the God of Alchemy called a group of silver-white balls into the gate of hell.
Each of these silvery-white balls is only the size of a washbasin, but their shapes keep changing as they crawl.
When they encounter flat ground, they will grow structures like snake scales and millipedes to crawl quickly and steadily on the ground. When they encounter steps, their bodies will naturally become a pump-like shape and arch upwards.
These transformations seem smooth, almost instinctive.
This is the role of inherited memory. This is a way of movement that the ancestors of the Mercury Spirit Figurines spent a lot of time to summarize. It is efficient and labor-saving.
Thousands of mercury zombies entered the gate of hell and soon arrived at Melina's battle zone.
This area is now almost half filled with mercury, forming a huge mercury pool with a diameter of more than one kilometer.
Plop, plop, the mercury zombies fell into it one by one, and then made cheerful sounds.
Mercury Zombies survive by consuming metals, but their favorite is mercury, which is the easiest metal to absorb and best suits their physical characteristics.
The mercury figurines turned into silver fish, swimming happily in the mercury pool. The mercury tasted novel, as if it contained something else, and tasted exciting.
However, not every mercury spirit figurine is so lively. One of the slightly larger mercury spirit figurines turned into a half-human, half-fish creature and bowed to the magic mirror in the air.
"Great God of Bones, your loyal descendant Bater sends his greetings to you. Please give us the oracle."
An Boxiu looked at the mercury spirit figurine and asked in confusion: "Bone God? Who taught you to call it that?"
Battelle said respectfully: "The memory inherited from the soul is the same as our body. No matter how it is divided, you are still our greatest creator."
The title Creator is actually not very precise.
The body of the Mercury Zombie was created by the Alchemy Guild. Amberxiu only improved the manufacturing method of the Zombie and created a suitable soul in a cheaper way. He can only be considered half a creator.
Moreover, the first batch of mercury spirit figurines were not very intelligent because of cost saving, but I didn’t expect that I would be able to raise mercury spirit figurines with real intelligence in the future.
However, Amber accepted Bartel's worship with a clear conscience and quickly gave orders, "Your mission is simple. Cross this mercury column, go to another space, and investigate the situation on the other side. Try to ensure your own safety and collect as much intelligence as possible on the other side."
After hearing this, Bater responded humbly, "We will definitely complete your order. However, please allow me to boldly ask, is the great White Bone God looking for a life form or a treasure in another space? If we can have a more precise goal, we will be able to complete your order faster."
Amber Xiu couldn't help but sigh that this little guy is really worry-free and does things more steadily than Dahei and Erha. Those two guys seem to have a lot of little thoughts, but in fact they are not rigorous at all and can only be clever.
"I'm not looking for people or things. What I want you to investigate is the overall situation on the other side of the space channel and find out where the demons came from. Bring the magic mirror with you. If possible, I will guide you along the way."
Amber carefully explained his mission to Bartel. The main goal was to find the location of the Styx, and ensuring his own safety was the top priority.
The space channel has entry requirements, and it is difficult for powerful demons to pass through this channel, but the situation over there is different. It is really possible that Bartel will see the clone of a demon lord after entering, and then be trampled to death.
What Amberxiu sent out were scouts, not cannon fodder. It would be best if these little guys brought back all the intelligence.
After hearing this, Battelle realized that he had a heavy responsibility and that the road ahead was full of dangers. After bowing to Amberxiu, he turned into a swimming fish and sank to the bottom of the mercury pool. Then the pool began to boil.
After a while, Amberxiu saw that the mercury pool showed a clear downward trend, and then Bater emerged from the water with a dozen mercury spirit figurines and rushed towards the mercury pillar.
The speed of the mercury gushing out slowed down a lot, but the impact of the space channel was still very huge. Bater and those mercury spirit figurines turned into a special spiral structure, and as soon as they entered the mercury column, they went upstream.
The spiral structure converts the power of the gushing mercury into rotational force. The mercury spirit's body has no balance organs, so there is no problem of dizziness. In this way, it can go upstream with very little effort.
An Boxiu couldn't help but sigh when he saw it: "This physics is better than mine."
This is the child raised by the God of Alchemy. No one knows how much knowledge He has instilled into this race of Mercury Zombies.
Knowledge is not bound by the rules of Io, but can exert astounding power.
Battelle went upstream all the way and soon passed through this space channel and came to another deeper mercury pool.
After passing through the gap, the flow of mercury slowed down a lot, allowing him to swim around like a fish. Not knowing how deep this pool of mercury was, Bartel could only create a little vacuum space inside his body to increase buoyancy and rush upwards.
Just after floating up a few meters, Bater began to feel a series of vibrations.
Battelle warned his companions: "Something is approaching, be careful."
Just as he finished speaking, a huge shadow appeared in the mercury pool, opened its mouth and swallowed Bater.
The mercury zombies cannot use their vision in this mercury pool, but they can sense the outside world through vibrations. Bartel can sense that what swallowed him was a strange big fish - a fish with many hands and feet.
But he was not panicked at all, because he found that after being swallowed, the fish actually wanted to use the magical acid to digest himself.
This acid that can digest metal armor only leaves a little trace when it falls on Battelle's body.
Before entering this place, Bartel had already swallowed a large amount of mercury to stack up his magic resistance. During the duration of this effect, he was almost magic-immune. Without the blessing of magic, the pure acid had no harm to Bartel.
Battelle also discovered that there was a large amount of mercury inside the fish, and its flesh and bones contained large amounts of various metals. Although he didn't know what species this strange fish was, as long as it was metal, it would be part of the mercury spirit's diet.
The next second, the huge monster began to twitch in pain and swam upwards desperately.
Holes began to appear on the fish's body. They were wounds left by the sharp thorns. Originally, the mercury could not cause any harm to the strange fish, but the ball of mercury in the fish's body grew dense sharp teeth, which constantly tore open the fish's flesh and blood and sucked the metal components contained in it.
Such pain made the strange fish struggle frantically. Having eaten countless demons in this mercury pool, the strange fish had no idea that it would eat something more terrifying than itself.
When this strange fish floated to the surface of the water, only a corpse with holes all over it was left.
Two silver-white tentacles stretched out from the wound of the corpse and turned like sensors, and Battelle crawled out of the corpse of the strange fish.
The other mercury spirits followed closely behind, emerging from the water one by one and observing their surroundings vigilantly.
The mercury pool here is very deep and large. It looks more like a river of mercury, winding its way into the distance. The hole at the bottom is insignificant compared to this huge river of mercury, and it is estimated that it cannot even lower the water level.
Looking towards the nearest river, it was a desolate land with thick smoke rising from it, and looking further away, one could see many broken pieces of land floating in the air.
These lands are full of interconnected space gates, with large numbers of demons constantly entering and exiting.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
No one knows where they come from or where they are going. Even during migration, these demons will roar wildly and even fight each other.
The poisonous mist was the stench emitted by the demon's corpse, making the space smoky and full of danger.
Bater quietly opened his body, revealing the well-protected magic mirror inside, and reported to Amber: "Great God, we have reached the other side of the plain."
Amber Xiu's face appeared on this tiny magic mirror, and he was also shocked by the scene in front of him.
This isn't much better than the Blood River Battlefield. It's a completely different maze.
These demons were coming in and out, and it was impossible to tell which was the real entrance to the abyss. If they couldn't find this location, they naturally couldn't determine the location of the tributary of the Styx.
Amber said helplessly: "Keep going. If possible, capture a demon alive and let me read its soul."
This is the easiest way. Amber can unravel the soul layer by layer and find the memories he needs.
However, Amber has never dismantled the demon's soul, and he is eager to try it.
Bartel obeyed the order and put the magic mirror away again, but he did not act hastily. As the leader of this group of mercury zombies, Bartel became a leader by being calm and smart, which was the result of the education of the God of Alchemy.
The Quicksilver Zombies are a race that respects the wise over the brave.
"This Mercury Galaxy is very far away from those broken spaces. Our bodies are too conspicuous. If we just climb ashore and move forward, we will definitely be discovered in advance. What suggestions do you have?"
A mercury zombie said excitedly: "Batel, we can change color, into the color of this land! Or use invisibility, I can make myself invisible."
But Bartel retorted: "The protective color and invisibility can only last for a short time. It is not enough for us to get close to the nearest demon."
The ability of Mercury Zombies to change is very strong, but changing body shape is completely different from changing color. The former only requires physical training, while the latter requires magic. This generation of Mercury Zombies can cast spells, but their spellcasting ability is not very good. There are no individuals with extraordinary talents for the time being.
Soon another mercury zombie suggested: "Since we can't hide, why don't we do the opposite and lure the demon over here."
Bartel thought about it and nodded in agreement.
"That's right. This is the best way. There should be many other creatures at the bottom of the river. It's impossible for that strange fish to fill its stomach with only outsiders. Let's catch these monsters and send them to the shore. The demons are not very smart. Even if these monsters can't be eaten, they should be tempted to come and check them out. Then we can take the opportunity to catch one of them!"
Battelle's order was quickly executed. The mercury zombies drilled into the Mercury River and quickly captured a large number of strange creatures.
That strange fish with many hands and feet is just one of them. There are also giant spider crabs and various monsters in this mercury galaxy, with a complete food chain.
These monsters are extremely terrifying in the main material plane. They can withstand the pressure of mercury, which shows how strong their flesh and shells are. Ordinary warriors may not be able to break through their defense.
Unfortunately, this group of monsters encountered the Mercury Spirit Figurines, a life form that was naturally resistant to metal, and their bodies were hollowed out before they could resist.
The huge amount of corpses were brought to the shore and piled up into a small hill.
Most of these monsters have silver-white bodies, which are still dazzling even in the gray sky.
The sudden appearance of such a shining hillside on the originally calm Mercury River immediately attracted the attention of some demons.
A group of black shadows flew out from a distance and headed towards the Mercury River.
Battelle knew that the plan was successful, but when he saw the number of these demons, he immediately sensed trouble.
There are too many of them. There are definitely over a hundred demons in this huge dark mass.
However, there were only a dozen or so of their mercury spirit figurines, so it was impossible for them to cause any trouble. As soon as they showed up, they would be attacked by these demons.
Just when Bartel was ready to try another method, Amber's voice came from the magic mirror: "Don't worry, I'll take care of it."
A huge magical power began to gather, and the next second, a blurry environment appeared before his eyes.
Leila's real illusion, this is a spell that Amber hasn't used for a long time.
But every time it is used, it has the effect of changing the situation of the battle.
