There are many undead people in this world.
The one Su Ziyu just encountered was just one of them, and a relatively weak one at that. He would never doubt the strength of the undead, because so many fire kings in history had been burned on the primordial fire, which was enough to prove too many things. Since the beginning of the fire transmission ceremony, the undead had never failed, and Su Ziyu would never underestimate their strength just because he easily defeated an undead.
The Chaos Witch, the White Dragon Hiss, the Tomb King Nito, these powerful beings who had obtained the power of the King's Soul in the First Fire Era, weren't they all burned by the Undead in the First Fire?
They have even burned the gods of this world many times.
Right under Su Ziyu's eyes, Hawkwood's body gradually turned into ashes and dust. His flesh and bones decomposed directly on the spot and turned into a gray dust. It is said that the first king soul winner was also a life born from the dark mud. This kind of existence called "fireless embers" is very special. Su Ziyu can feel that they are not ordinary flesh and blood life, but more like a special life form evolved from the laws of the plane.
The information said that they had been burned in the fire once, but now they were not even qualified to be used as firewood.
"Fran Greatsword (Rare Item): A special weapon used by the Abyss Supervisors, consisting of a greatsword and a strange dagger, but the dagger part of this set of equipment has been lost. The Undead Squadron of Farran possesses the power of wolf blood, and when they wield the Farran Greatsword, they can easily disrupt the enemy's attack rhythm. It can be enhanced with special gems."
This is a relatively common oddity.
Su Ziyu picked it up and waved it around. He felt that the weight was okay, but the quality was not as good as his Meteorite Sword. He wondered what it would be like after strengthening it. He currently did not quite understand the strengthening methods in this world.
The monastery has basically been explored.
Su Ziyu had no intention of staying there and waiting for the undead to come to him. He stayed for a while and then prepared to leave. He didn't have any destination, he just walked in a random direction to see if he could encounter a city where humans lived.
Because he was targeted by this world and became the King of Fire, Su Ziyu's original purpose also changed.
At the very beginning.
Su Ziyu planned to see if he could trigger the main quest after entering this plane. His current strength was already quite strong. If he could trigger the main quest, he would try to help this world.
But what the hell is there to say now!
He has been identified as the Lord of Fire, and a bunch of undead want to take his head back and burn it. It is definitely impossible to complete the main mission. Su Ziyu's first goal has become "survival and exploration". While ensuring his own safety, he will hunt for as much source power as possible and collect some soul power until the stay of the Hourglass of Time ends.
It is impossible to pass on fire.
Su Ziyu can risk his life to fight those horrible evil creatures and deformities in order to help some worlds, but he will never perform some bullshit fire transmission ceremony and burn himself in the original fire.
These are two completely different things.
After leaving the monastery, Suziyu entered an empty wilderness.
This world is very different from other worlds. Su Ziyu can hardly see any farmland, nor any signs of cultivation. This means that for a long period of time in the past, perhaps hundreds of years, the indigenous people of this world did not grow much crops.
The implications behind this are very serious.
Farming means the production of food, which is a necessary resource for the continuation of life. But if even food is not needed much, the situation in this world will be very, very serious.
About half an hour later.
In addition to the monotonous tombstones in Su Ziyu's sight, he finally saw something different.
It was an iron cage hanging on a dead old tree. Inside the cage were a large number of mummies. Almost all of them had shrunk after being exposed to the sun for a long time. There seemed to be signs of violent struggles, and there were claw marks on the bark.
"They're all dead." Su Ziyu walked over.
He saw a faintly glowing soul, and immediately received a clue after reaching out to touch it.
——"A group of undead souls that are about to dissipate (can be refined): after refining, gain 20 energy points."
The undead are imprisoned here.
They should be the undead who have completely lost their humanity and gone mad. After the plague of the undead appeared, the kingdom of this world had a headache for a long time. More and more undead became crazy. At first, they could be caught and locked up, but later they could not be suppressed at all. In the past hundred years, in order to get rid of these undead who have completely lost their humanity, the people of the Deep Church simply fed them to Aldrich, the monster who likes to eat people, now the 'Sage of the Deep'.
The immortals are not completely immortal.
The number of times they can be resurrected is limited, and each time they die, a part of their humanity is lost. Once all their humanity is gone, they will become mad wandering souls, and you can almost kill them by killing them a few more times.
But this is only a temporary solution and not a fundamental solution. As long as the power of the original fire continues to weaken, the undead will continue to appear, and there will be more and more of them.
Time passes by little by little.
Su Ziyu swam aimlessly in the wilderness for most of the day. On the way, he saw an abandoned town. It might have been abandoned for hundreds of years, which meant that there were not even a few mad wandering souls in it.
It's full of tombstones.
All that was left were rows of broken tombstones.
finally.
Su Ziyu didn't know where he was going, and finally an interesting thing appeared in his sight.
dragon!
The corpse of a giant dragon.
This giant dragon is much larger than any dragon Su Ziyu had seen before. It is about fifty meters long, with a wingspan of nearly thirty to forty meters. The skin of this dragon is reddish-brown, and there are no dragon scales on the surface of its body, but there are some stratum corneum-like spikes. Next to the huge and ferocious dragon head is a pool of dried black blood. Compared with it, humans are so small that they can almost be ignored.
The dragon fell nearly halfway up the mountain.
When Su Ziyu's figure soared into the air, he could see an extremely huge spear. The metal spear almost completely pierced the dragon's chest. It must have flown a long distance with its injuries before dying and falling here.
The time of death could not be determined.
But the dragon's body did not decay seriously, instead it just shriveled up.
"This weapon is simply not something that ordinary humans can use, right?" Su Ziyu jumped onto the dragon's body. In front of him was a heavy metal javelin with dark gold patterns and a strange emblem-like pattern on it. The exposed length alone was nearly three meters, not counting the part that had pierced into the dragon's body.
Click.
Su Ziyu stretched out his hand and grasped the metal javelin in front of him. As he slowly exerted force, he pulled out a six-meter-long full-metal javelin bit by bit. The diameter of the javelin was close to six centimeters and its weight was estimated to be around two to three hundred kilograms. Being able to hit the giant dragon in the sky with such a heavy metal javelin, one can imagine how terrifyingly powerful the owner of the javelin must be.
boom!
Su Ziyu weighed the javelin, then he took a deep breath, stepped forward with his front feet, bent his body and took a step forward. With his muscles bulging like explosions, Su Ziyu shouted loudly and threw the javelin in his hand out.
There was a loud bang like an explosion.
About 120 meters away, rocks in the distance collapsed and flew everywhere. The metal javelin penetrated directly into the mountain, with about two-thirds of it sticking out.
"The person using this javelin is stronger than me?"
"It shouldn't be human, right?"
very good.
Another very important piece of information was obtained. There was a strong man nearby who was able to slay a dragon, and his strength was extremely terrifying. Even if Su Ziyu was wearing the power of the fire giant, he did not have such terrifying brute force.
The strength of the flesh exceeds that of the giant?
Are they the gods of this world?
The dragon was killed in one blow, and the other wounds on its body were almost negligible. Su Ziyu used his spiritual sense to sense the dragon's blood, and found that it had lost all its vitality and could no longer be used as material for dragon blood baptism. He couldn't come all the way here empty-handed, so he pulled out the Meteorite Sword and cut off a dragon's tooth.
It’s inconvenient to carry too much. This dragon weighs more than sixty tons.
clang.
Just as Su Ziyu walked over and pulled out the metal spear, preparing to study it on the way, a cold wind blew nearby, and then a female figure in nun's clothes appeared in his sight.
A pair of healthy feet stepped lightly on the cold corpse of the giant dragon.
The other party was standing a hundred meters away from Su Ziyu, holding a huge sickle in his hand. His face could not be seen through his drooping hood, and only wisps of hair were fluttering in the wind.
"O nameless king!"
The woman dressed as a nun bowed very politely, placed one hand on her chest, and said in a soft and gentle voice: "Frid from Londor greets you!..."
It's the same opening line again.
Su Ziyu's brows furrowed instantly, and with a clang he pulled out the metal javelin that had pierced into the mountain.
The other person's pupils shrank slightly, because she saw Su Ziyu casually tossing the six-meter-long metal javelin in her hand. As a woman, she knew very well what an amazing brute force this was.
"Another ember from a Firelink shrine?"
Su Ziyu frowned and stared at the nun in front of him, and said slowly: "I am just a traveler passing by."
"He's not a king."
"Can you please stop causing trouble for me? I have no interest in becoming the Salary King! I don't have any ill will towards you!"
"Can you please stop bothering me?"
I'm so fucking drunk.
I ran so far away, how come these undead beings could still find me?
What exactly is the glory of the king's soul?
How come they can always lock onto their position!
Su Ziyu could feel that the nun in front of him was much more powerful than Hawkwood. Just by spiritual perception, he could tell that she was at least a legendary being.
If he had to face enemies of this level alone, even he would have no choice but to flee for his life!
The most crucial point is.
The other party can be resurrected, but Su Ziyu cannot.
"The continuation of this world requires your strength!..." Sister Friede seemed to be easier to talk to than the previous ember. She said slowly: "If you are willing to go to the throne of the Firelink Shrine by yourself, then we naturally don't need to fight."
Do you want me to deliver it to your door and let you burn it?
Su Ziyu shook his head helplessly and said softly, "So there's nothing to talk about? We still have to fight!"
The words fell.
Buzz!
Along with a sonic boom that broke through the air, Su Ziyu suddenly threw the metal javelin in his hand. The javelin turned into a silver light and shot out, flying a hundred meters away in an instant, and pierced into the body of the giant dragon again with a dull loud noise.
Sister Friede's figure had disappeared from the spot.
The opponent's reaction speed was amazing. She dodged when Su Ziyu just made a move. Her figure completely disappeared, and only some vague traces of rapid movement could be felt.
"Invisible?"
"Interesting!" Su Ziyu raised his hand slightly, and the Meteorite Sword automatically came out of its sheath and fell into his palm.
This enemy is very strong.
She is much stronger than Hawkwood at the beginning. Su Ziyu finds it difficult to judge her position. No wonder she was barefoot when she first saw this nun. It turns out that she also has the ability to become invisible.
wrong!
Not only does she have the ability to become invisible, she may even have the ability to teleport short distances.
Unable to capture movement tracks.
Perception cannot completely lock onto the target.
Along with wisps of cold wind, some falling snowflakes appeared in Su Ziyu's sight. This was a supernatural power, and the other party also had the ability to control ice.
I never thought that one day I would have to worry about invisible enemies.
A cold light flashed!
Suddenly, behind Su Ziyu on the right side, a petite but agile figure emerged, with a huge sickle with a faintly glowing cold frost, which suddenly slashed towards Su Ziyu's waist in the flying ice and snow. The sharp blade light broke through the air, but no sound was heard. With a movement trajectory that was almost impossible to capture with the naked eye, the opponent seemed to appear out of thin air and launched the attack.
——"Psionic protective force field!"
clang!
The meteorite sword in Su Ziyu's hand turned into a stream of light and hit the opponent's weapon, but he himself quickly distanced himself and disappeared from the spot in an instant.
Invisible?
What a coincidence. I can do that too!
Come on.
Hide and seek.
Su Ziyu waved his hand and the Meteorite Sword flew back automatically. After the attack missed, the opponent's figure quickly retreated. When Sister Friede in front of him saw Su Ziyu's figure suddenly disappear and become completely invisible, her expression was slightly stunned. Then she clenched the sickle with both hands, and a gust of wind and snow was raised in the moment of swinging it. Along with the surge of unknown power, a layer of crystal ice quickly spread forward and turned into spikes, extending for dozens of meters.
The Suzi fish did not show up, but a vague outline appeared in the drifting snow.
"I found you!" Sister Friede's lips curled up slightly, and she jumped up and disappeared from sight.
Crackling.
Suddenly, a flash of lightning exploded in the sky, and Sister Friede retreated faster than at the beginning. Her body was still shaking slightly when she landed.
Su Ziyu's figure also slowly fell down.
He casually took off his invisibility cloak and stared at the other party with a serious expression. It seemed that his stealth ability was not as good as that of the nun. He couldn't even play hide-and-seek with the other party. It seemed that he could only fight her head-on.
