Chapter 21: Remaining Souls on the Battlefield
Dark cave.
After three consecutive days of head-to-head confrontation, the battle between players and the Crypt Clan has become increasingly fierce.
A large number of iron-shelled insects emerged from the ground under the control of the cave warriors, killing them endlessly, making the players hate them.
The only thing that makes players feel relieved is that this game has no monster refresh mechanism, and dead monsters will not be resurrected.
Victory will eventually belong to them.
During this period, Qi Sheng, who was behind the scenes, also became curious about the dark cave and wanted to know what the characteristics of this domain node were.
He decided to explore before the players did.
Just as the battle between the player and the swarm of iron-shelled insects broke out again, a ray of his consciousness followed the guiding sensory tentacles and continued to penetrate underground, reaching the fifth underground level.
Here he saw a huge palace surrounded by stone monuments.
In front of the palace, there are thousands of statues of soldiers standing. Most of them have broken bodies, wearing broken black armor and holding broken weapons. They are either standing or charging, with different postures and lifelike postures.
At the west entrance of the palace, you can see a large number of iron-shelled insects dragging ore into the palace driven by cave warriors.
Qi Sheng's consciousness also followed the guidance and entered the main hall. What he saw was a five-meter-high broken statue standing in the center of the main hall.
The statue's whole body was wrapped in thick broken armor, holding a bloody broken war blade, kneeling on one knee and looking at the dome.
Behind it is a huge furnace. The iron-shelled insects that entered the palace continuously put ore into the furnace for refining under the control of the cave warriors.
【Ice Blade! 】
Qi Sheng was startled by the guide's sudden exclamation:
"Do you know this statue?"
[A warlike lunatic, he was the overlord of the separatist faction after the death of Emperor Zhao. 】
"How does it compare with you?"
[Of course it is far behind our four major servants, but this guy’s strength should not be underestimated. I tried to win him over, but this guy thought he was qualified to be the new Emperor Zhao and was unwilling to be loyal to me. 】
"Is he dead?"
[The fire of life is extinguished, completely dead... huh? There seems to be a ball of information energy left in its body. 】
"Try to parse."
The guide did not answer, but approached the ice blade statue with a ray of his consciousness. At this moment, his analytical ability was activated, and an infinite killing intent suddenly surged in like a mountain roaring and a tsunami.
……
"We Emperor Zhao warriors...will not retreat."
As the hoarse and firm voice sounded, countless memory images flashed through Qi Sheng's mind like a slideshow.
He saw the dilemma that Ice Blade faced when the world was about to collapse.
That was the time when the four servants had just entered Dizhong Village and he had not yet traveled through time.
At that time, the monster world was gradually corrupted by the black tide of terror, and the ecological environment became increasingly worse. The area controlled by Ice Blade was also eroded by the black tide of terror.
Faced with a desperate situation, Bingren began to plan for the future.
He sunk his palace into the ground, then asked the non-war tribesmen to move underground, and told them to dig out the underground spiritual minerals and store them for the future.
A huge underground construction project began.
None of the clan members understood why the clan leader did this or what he meant by "waiting for the future", but they all chose to carry out his plan.
Before the underground project was completed, a black tide of terror swept across.
Bingren chose to lead his soldiers to face the evil tide and defend the pure land under his feet. Memory fragment jumps.
The evil spirits in the picture are like locusts swarming over the environment, densely covering the sight. The heavily armored Ice Blade leads the black-armored army, drawing their blades and pointing at the evil spirits, and launches a charge.
The battle was extremely fierce, and only half of the warriors survived when the evil tide was driven back.
The second wave of evil spirits would arrive at any time, and Bingren did not choose to leave. He stayed with the soldiers at the entrance of the underground palace, ready to prepare.
A new wave of evil spirits broke out three days later.
Then came the third and fourth rounds of evil spirits. The endless evil spirits caused Bingren to fight until his weapon shattered, and all the soldiers following him were killed, but he still did not leave.
On the day the underground palace was completed, the tribesmen who participated in the construction walked out of the cave, hoping that Bingren could go underground to avoid the next wave of evil spirits.
Facing the tribesmen kneeling down and pleading, Bingren glanced at them with his emotionless ice-blue eyes and said coldly:
"The pure land under my feet is a gift from the Emperor. I hold the sword and swear to guard it until my life withers. I would rather die than retreat."
Driving the tribesmen underground, Bingren ushered in the final battle.
Endless evil spirits surrounded him, and the fire of life was like a candle in the wind, and might be extinguished at any time.
When he was exhausted, Bingren knelt down on one knee and looked at the only remaining "Light of the Emperor's Omen" in the sky, with endless fighting intent still burning in his eyes.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
At the last moment of his life, Bingren thought about the scene when Emperor Zhao crowned him and granted him territory.
With a strong sense of pride and honor filling his heart, he raised the broken war blade with difficulty, pointed at the evil tide, and his hoarse voice resounded in the sky:
"Iron-blooded remnants of souls, remnants of bravery on the battlefield, and remnants of bodies can kill three million enemies!"
"There are no cowards under the Emperor's sign. Wake up, gentlemen, and fight me again!"
As soon as the words fell, the fire of life of the ice blade was extinguished, but the unconscious body moved. The remaining bodies of countless dead warriors also stood up under the call of the remaining will of the ice blade, and continued to fight against the evil spirit with him.
The memory fragment ends abruptly here.
[This guy... can imprint the will to fight on his broken body even after death. He is really a complete lunatic. 】
The memory fragments shocked Qi Sheng.
Guided by the process of analyzing memories, he could even feel Bingren's inner unyielding will when facing desperate situations.
Di Zhao's understatement was the proudest moment of glory in Bingren's eyes, and he chose to fight to the death to protect this honor.
[It seems that his broken body was sent to the palace by his tribe. 】
"Guidance, what does it mean to wait for the future in the edge of the ice blade?"
[Unclear, it seems that there is some kind of plan for the future. Does he want to be resurrected in some way? 】
Just when Guidance and Qi Sheng were curious about the future layout of the Ice Blade, the remaining body of the Ice Blade standing in the center of the hall trembled slightly, as if sensing their presence, and looked up at their consciousness group, with a sudden sudden change in their dim eyes. A scarlet light lit up, and then a piece of information entered the minds of Qi Sheng and Guidance:
"Guide? Jiuyin? Yan Ming? Super Dimension?... No matter which one of you four old guys inherits the Emperor's will and carries my share of glory, I can no longer fight, so I can only use this to help. ”
After the words fell, the ground behind the ice blade cracked, revealing a golden crystal stone placed on the formation
The energy of the ore that was put into the furnace for refining was transported here, absorbed by the formation, and then blended into the golden crystal.
Even without contact, Qi Sheng could clearly sense the surging pure energy contained in the crystal.
[This guy Bingren…. 】
At this moment, the guide who always introduced the ice blade with a joking attitude was also shocked.
Qi Sheng finally understood what Bingren meant by waiting for the future.
Bingren believed that one of the four servants would inherit Emperor Zhao's will and become the new Emperor Zhao, so he prepared a cross-century gift for them in advance.
