Chapter 279 The Corpse of the Fire Keeper



Fire sacrifice site.

Hawkwood's refusal did not anger the nameless Sun Knight. He sighed with a little regret, and then walked directly to the Fire Keeper who was not far away.

It’s a little different than facing the embers of the past.

This time, the Fire Keeper took the initiative to stand up and greet the arrival of the Nameless Knight. She even took the initiative to bow and saluted, saying softly, "Lord Ashes."

"We have been waiting for you for a long time."

The nameless Sun Knight shook his head slightly, but did not speak. He just knelt on one knee and stretched out one of his hands. The Fire Keeper gently placed his hand on the forehead of the nameless knight. Along with a trace of white light, a soul power began to awaken in the body of the nameless knight. The aura he exuded became stronger and stronger, and even a trace of light golden light appeared on his body.

The nameless Sun Knight quickly stood up again.

He looked at the throne of the Firelink Shrine again, and without saying anything, he turned around and left.

but.

Just as he walked out of the Firelink Shrine, the nameless Sun Knight couldn't help but frown. As if he sensed something, he turned around and walked towards a tall tower next to the Firelink Shrine.

Soon, a warrior holding a strange sword appeared in front of him.

The other party had a cold expression, and looked at the Sun Knight not far away with vigilant eyes, and said slowly: "Fireless embers. This is not the place for you to come."

After saying this, the warrior gripped his weapon tightly, looking ready to fight at any time.

Who are the people in the fireless ashes?

They were all famous strong men in history. Those who were slightly weaker were not even qualified to be burned as firewood, not to mention that the Sun Knight in front of him was most likely a former Fire King.

The nameless Sun Knight walked straight over.

After seeing that the other party did not leave, the warrior holding the katana's face changed slightly, and then a cold light came, and he chopped directly at the head of the unknown knight without saying a word.

clang.

Sparks flew at the moment of the collision between the swords. The nameless Sun Knight stood still, while the warrior holding the katana in front of him took a half step back. But he did not give up. He turned around and swung his sword quickly, while moving his feet to the right of the nameless knight. But the nameless knight did not turn around. He swung the sword casually as if he had eyes on his back, and repelled the warrior again with the sound of the weapons colliding.

Ding ding ding!

It seemed like he was feeling a little impatient.

Lightning flashed in the palm of the nameless Sun Knight. The golden lightning gathered into a spear, which pierced through the chest of the warrior holding the katana the moment it was swung out.

A faintly glowing soul emerged.

The nameless Sun Knight reached out and crushed the soul, then continued walking towards the tower in front of him.

soon.

A cellar appeared in his sight. After seeing everything inside clearly, the Unknown Knight's pupils shrank instantly. He stood there in silence for a long time before slowly turning around and walking out.

There were dead bodies everywhere.

There were all corpses of fire keeper women. Some had completely turned into dry bones, while some looked like they had not been dead for long, with their fire keeper women's clothing still intact.

The nameless knight's footsteps became a little heavier.

But he still walked outside with a determined gaze, only turning back to take a deep look at the Firelink Sacrifice behind him before leaving.

The day passed quickly.

Su Ziyu followed Sister Friede through the wilderness for a long time, and finally a very magnificent city appeared in sight.

It was a medieval-style city with tall walls and pointed towers. There were still flames on the walls and the bodies of some soldiers were scattered around the walls.

"Is that the Royal City of Lothric?" Su Ziyu looked at the city in the distance. It looked very magnificent, with a sense of ancient epic. However, even from a distance, he could see some collapsed buildings. There was a moat in front of the royal city. The bridge connecting to the royal city had collapsed long ago, and a huge corpse could be vaguely seen left on the collapsed ruins.

dragon.

Another dead flying dragon.

This flying dragon looked even larger, with a wingspan of about 40 to 50 meters. It looked as if its corpse had collapsed the bridge.

"Ancient flying dragon." Sister Friede said softly.

She looked at the dragon corpse in the distance and said slowly, "Before I woke up, the capital of Lothric was already like this."

"A very brutal war once broke out here."

"There are still some dragon carcasses inside."

At this point, Sister Friede pointed in a direction and continued, "That's the Ancient Dragon's Summit."

"You have to use some special means to get up there."

"There is also a well-preserved corpse of an immortal ancient dragon there. I was very shocked when I saw it for the first time. I didn't expect that there are such huge creatures in this world."

"The body it left behind is like an undulating mountain range."

Su Ziyu looked in the direction Sister Friede pointed, but he could only see a cloud of mist and nothing else. The Immortal Ancients were the rulers of the Chaos Age. The original Lord of Fire, Gwyn, had slaughtered all the Immortal Ancients before the Age of Fire began. Only one scaleless white dragon, Seath, survived, but later this white dragon was also taken to the First Fire as firewood.

According to legend, the body of the immortal ancient dragon is several thousand meters or even tens of thousands of meters long. Su Ziyu doesn't quite believe it and feels it is quite exaggerated.

However, the Protoss created by Gwyn were able to kill so many immortal ancient dragons. The strength of the Protoss in their heyday should have been quite astonishing!

"That's the Undead Settlement."

Sister Friede pointed to a small town outside the royal city and said, "There are only a bunch of unconscious zombies left there."

"Do you want to go over and take a look?"

Go ahead.

Why not go?

Su Ziyu nodded without hesitation and said, "Let's go over there and take a look first."

There was deathly silence in the capital of Lothric, which made Su Ziyu feel a little uneasy. He had already found the place, and there was no rush anyway, so he decided to go to the small towns outside to have a look and see if he could find anything.

Along the way, Su Ziyu also killed some wandering souls.

But they were all insignificant guys, with very few souls dropped from their bodies. They should be the kind of small monsters roaming around outside. He still needed more than a hundred energy points to brew some nectar.

It would be a good opportunity to look inside the undead settlement, perhaps there are some more powerful souls.

"Let's go, then."

Sister Friede stood up and said, "When I left earlier, I seemed to sense demonic activity to the west of the Undead Settlement."

"Would you like me to take you there?"

Sister Friede noticed Su Ziyu's actions of collecting souls along the way. She thought that Su Ziyu wanted to absorb more souls. Those unconscious wandering souls alone could not provide much psychic energy, and she had to kill some more powerful enemies.

The soul of a strong man can be hundreds or even thousands of times more powerful than that of an ordinary person.

soon.

A dilapidated town appeared in Su Ziyu's sight. Many wooden buildings had collapsed. However, there was a little movement coming from the high tower in the distance, which seemed to be some sharp sound breaking through the air.

A slight murmur could be heard faintly.

When Su Ziyu approached the Undead Settlement, the Spacetime Supervisor System quickly gave some prompts. "Alert! Alert!"

"The source of pollution has been found! ... An unknown corrupt force field has been detected! ..."

In spiritual perception.

Su Ziyu's consciousness was locked onto several beings emitting red light, which was the spiritual light transmitted from the soul. In this small undead settlement, he had already sensed quite a few pollutants.

It’s time to get to work.

Su Ziyu put his hand on the hilt of the sword. Sister Friede behind him lagged behind a few steps, holding the strange huge sickle in her hand, but had no intention of taking action.

She seemed less willing to fight.

Within sight.

In a collapsed thatched hut, two or three shrunken figures crawled up. They seemed to sense the breath of a living person, holding a dung fork in their hands, and after an unconscious roar, they pounced over. These monsters seemed to move stiffly, but their speed was not slow. They waved the dung fork and stabbed the Suzi fish in front of them.

A cold light shot out.

The meteorite sword at Su Ziyu's waist was instantly unsheathed. With a flash of sword light, the heads of the three zombies dressed as farmers were cut off directly.

——"A weak soul (can be refined): after refining, gain 20 energy points."

Not strong.

But it's not particularly weak either.

These zombies dressed as farmers seemed to have killed many people before, and the soul power in their bodies was much higher than that of the wandering souls outside.

Su Ziyu reached out and picked up a ball of faintly glowing souls. In just a short while, many wandering souls dressed as farmers emerged. Among them were some guys holding normal swords and lanterns, as if they were the patrol team in this town.

boom!

Just as Su Ziyu was using his telekinesis to control the Meteor Sword to harvest these monsters, suddenly a strange bottle was thrown at him.

The spirit conveyed a sense of danger.

Su Ziyu simply snapped his fingers and used his telekinesis to throw the bottle back to where it came from.

Boom!

A dull explosion sounded.

Amid the violent explosion, a burst of flames rose up, directly enveloping more than a dozen wandering souls. The fire ignited their bodies, and these enemies quickly fell down under the burning flames. In the blink of an eye, only a pile of dry bones were left.

Alchemical kerosene from the Demon Hunter world?

The power seems to be a little greater!

Su Ziyu tiptoed into the air and quickly found his target when he landed. With a wave of his hand, another strange black pot fell into his palm.

——"Flame Pot (strange item): It will explode and start a fire after being thrown. It is a disposable consumable item made of unknown crystals and magic."

There does seem to be some crystalline powder in it.

Su Ziyu took a look and put it away. When he turned around, he saw Sister Friede slowly retracting the sickle. Next to her was the dried corpse of a headless villager.

There must have been a monster rushing towards her just now.

The wandering souls in this small area had basically been killed. Su Ziyu searched briefly but did not find any valuable treasures.

The faint whispering sound was heard again.

Su Ziyu frowned and listened for a while, feeling the malice coming from the spirit, and walked towards the direction of the sound.

"Hmm?" Sister Friede frowned slightly, as if she had heard something as well.

A large dead tree appeared not far away.

A group of zombies dressed as villagers were kneeling around. Su Ziyu could also see several corpses hanging upside down. These villagers seemed not to have heard the battle outside, and they continued to kneel in front of the tree and worship. The rotten and torn clothes were stuck to the zombies. They didn't know how long they had been kneeling here. Some of them were even covered with thick dust.

"Alarm! Alarm!"

"Contamination found!..."

Su Ziyu approached step by step. Even though he deliberately made his footsteps louder, the villagers kneeling in front of the tree and worshiping him were unaware of it. They seemed to be completely oblivious to everything else.

Phew.

Su Ziyu killed one of the kneeling villagers with a backstab.

The pile of zombies in front still didn't react at all. Some of the zombies that were kneeling even let him kill them just like that, their cloudy and dry eyes just staring at the big tree in front of them.

A cold wind blew by.

The bonfire burning in front of the dead tree swayed, and a figure wearing a wide black cloak appeared in Su Ziyu's sight.

——"Bone Collector [Corruption] [Skeleton] [Human Pus]!"

Su Ziyu stopped.

Sister Friede, who was a little behind, had a serious expression on her face. She held the sickle tightly with both hands and said slowly, "I didn't see anything like this the last time I came here!"

Polluted body!

Su Ziyu's sight fell on the other party's feet. He did not see any feet. The monster seemed to be floating one or two centimeters above the ground.

A pitch-black mask covered his face, and only a pair of eyes that glowed red slightly could be seen.

"Another collection!" A low murmur sounded.

Next second.

The monster in front of him was approaching rapidly like a ghost. The moment its wide black cloak was raised, sharp spikes made of human vertebrae attacked Su Ziyu's chest.

Under the raised black cloak, the monster's body was made up of incomplete skeletons. There were no other parts of the human body, only heads connected from the neck to the spine. Dozens of skulls and spines made up its body like pendants. Its skeleton itself was also quite large. It also had no limbs or torso, and no ribs on its chest. There were only two rows of skulls and spines that were trembling slightly like snakes.

Wow!

Su Ziyu, who finally saw the monster's appearance clearly, couldn't help but feel a little nervous and almost broke into a cold sweat.

What the hell is this!

Two skulls formed the shoulders of this monster, and the entangled and extended spines were its arms. The pale vertebrae were squirming and entangled with each other, and the dark red dried blood gradually seeped through the black cloak.

So disgusting!

Su Ziyu waved his hand and the Meteorite Sword pierced through the monster's body. The monster's body stiffened slightly, and the next second, more than ten pale vertebrae pierced Su Ziyu's head.

Seven or eight vertebrae that were severed by the meteorite sword fell down.

But the next second.

They seemed like living snakes, wriggling back into the black cloak and reconnecting with the heads inside.

Some black, pus-like liquid was flowing along the skull to the pale spine.
