Chapter 66: A Just Fight
While the missionary was still breathing, Xia Yu waved his hand and replaced the amulet in his hand with the soul-sucking gloves of the soul-sucking ghost.
The soul-sucking ghost's gloves still had the power to absorb souls. With the blessing of Xia Yu's magic, this power was directly used by him.
Black and white mist emerged from the gloves. Xia Yu slapped the missionary on the head. The next moment, a gray-white soul was pulled out by him.
Although it seems a bit redundant, there is nothing we can do about it.
He can absorb the souls of the dead, but once those souls enter his body, they will be directly refined into the purest soul energy by the tiny remaining fire in his body.
Then he can find the Fire Keeper to use soul energy to strengthen himself.
During this process, all the remnants of the soul will be removed, including the memory, so he cannot obtain the memory knowledge within the soul by absorbing the soul.
Of course, this does not apply to powerful souls. Powerful souls can remain in a condensed state, and condensed souls will not be refined by subtle flames, just like Bordeaux's soul. If he is not crushed, Bordeaux's soul will always remain in a condensed state.
But weak souls do not have this treatment, so Xia Yu uses the soul-sucking gloves.
Use the soul-sucking gloves to directly pull out the opponent's soul, so that the weak soul will not be refined into soul energy by the tiny residual fire in his body.
He can also obtain the memories of a soul by searching the soul. The deep magic he just used was searched out from the soul of another missionary.
Although his original idea was to ask the Fire Keeper to help him look at the doctrine book in the missionary's hand to see if he could find any profound magic.
But when he thought of the painful look on Irina's face after reading the Tome of the Abyss in the game, he gave up the idea. The Abyss is not a good thing, so it is better not to let the Fire Keeper touch it.
He is such a Yasashi Lord Ash. When he returns, he will teach the Fire Keeper to dance Peach Blossom Love Song.
…
"I don't know if there is any new knowledge in this soul. Let's wait and see."
Xia Yu looked at the small grayish-white soul on the soul-sucking gloves and used the soul-searching spell of the Demon God Xia Yu.
In an instant, dense memories flashed through Xia Yu's mind. It was the life of this missionary. He grew up in the slums, was adopted by a mentor, entered the Deep Church, memorized the doctrine, learned the dark miracles, and then received the important task to come here to spread the Deep faith.
After discarding the useless memories, Xia Yu opened his eyes and curled his lips in disdain: "Tsk, another similar life memory, no new knowledge, what a loss."
After saying that, Xia Yu clenched his hand, and the missionary's soul was directly crushed by him, and then turned into soul mist and entered his body.
"Okay, time to go and defeat the Egg Tree."
After casually putting away the mace and doctrine book from the missionary's hands, Xia Yu walked towards the gate of the church square.
The cursed tree is located in the church square and is being worshipped by a group of farmer zombies who have lost their humanity and self.
Thousands of years ago, the Cursed Tree was still a spiritual tree. It was the spiritual tree worshipped by the Undead Settlement, which was once the Undead Street, and it was also their sacred tree belief.
And now, in the undead settlement where curses gather, the spirit tree is inevitably eroded by the curse. Various curses gather and accumulate on the spirit tree, turning it into a complete monster.
The Cursed Tree is a great spiritual tree that has been eroded by a curse.
The stairs were lined with ominous purple flowers that swayed on the uneven tombstones. Xia Yu walked down the stairs to the door of the church square. The door was still huge, like the residence of a giant.
Behind the door was a floor made of rubble, with dark black blood sediment in the cracks of the stones. The smell of blood had long since disappeared with the passage of time, leaving only the filth telling of the tragedy that had once occurred.
After turning a few corners, we arrived at the end, which is the church square.
In the huge square, the zombie farmers were facing a huge tree and worshiping and praying. Although they had lost their humanity and memories, their remaining instincts still made them worship the spiritual tree that had turned into a monster, just as before.
The trunk of the cursed tree is covered with twisted human organs. Painful human faces make up the bark patterns, and hanging on it are fruit-like balls of flesh and blood, covered with ominous black spots.
In the game, these flesh and blood fruits are the weaknesses of the Cursed Tree. If they are broken, the Cursed Tree will lose a lot of blood. However, reality is not a game. Simply breaking these expanded fruits may not directly kill the monster.
Xia Yu simply didn't think of fighting the Cursed Tree alone. He wanted a just group fight. Who would want to fight one-on-one when they can just fight in a group? That would be stupid.
Xia Yu stopped when he reached the steps of the square. The ground in the square was very fragile, and the cursed tree would jump up and smash down when attacking.
So the floor must break apart and fall into the hole beneath it.
That cave is called the Wandering Soul Cavern, and it is a gathering place for crazy people.
Looking at the cursed tree in the distance, Xia Yu opened the chat group, selected a direction, and directly received the red envelope from the mechanical army.
The next moment, a tidal wave of mechanical armies appeared densely on the square, their extinguished eyes showing that they were still powered off.
The zombie farmers in the distance also noticed this side. They stood up blankly and looked over here. When they saw the densely packed mechanical army, they screamed in confusion.
The machine without any breath of life could not cause them to go crazy, so they just stood there roaring at this unreasonable scene. The cursed tree was still motionless. If you didn't actively attack it, it would be like an ordinary strange tree.
The next moment, red lights lit up in the eyes of the mechanical army, and the reactors in their bodies began to operate. They walked forward with clanging steps, while the sound-generating parts were shouting.
“Charge! Charge!”
"For the Lord! Kill the enemy!"
"It is our duty to restore the glory of mankind!"
Xia Yu listened in amazement to the mechanical sound of the mechanical army's charge. How should I put it? It was a bit embarrassing.
He will give a bad review, a very bad review.
But the mechanical army will not change because of Xia Yu's idea. They run forward on their short legs, with the muzzles of guns extending from their chests, and golden energy bullets condensing at the muzzles.
"call out--!"
A barrage of energy bullets poured out in an instant, like a rain of light from the sky. Before the zombies could understand what was happening, their bodies were torn into pieces by the energy bullets.
Even the red-eyed zombies, which were much stronger than ordinary zombies, could not survive the energy bullets that covered the sky.
"roar--!"
Just as the zombies around died and the energy bullets were about to approach the tree, the roots of the cursed tree were suddenly pulled out from the ground.
Along with dust and smoke, rubble was splashed in all directions. The surviving zombies were not killed by the energy bullets, but were crushed to death by the flying rubble.
The remaining survivors were frightened and hurriedly crawled up from the ground, instinctively dodging attacks from all directions, screaming in fear of their own fear.
But unfortunately, both sides ignored the zombies' ideas, and the roots of the cursed tree were pulled out completely like feet. Yellow pus emitting hot air spread from under the roots, and the foul smell instantly filled the air.
