Chapter 39 39. The uglier, the stronger
There was a clanging sound in the kitchen soon, and Philip was laboriously swinging a hammer on the stove, forging titanium alloy rods.
Ten minutes later, the red heat on the armor subsided, and the ugly cracks on it were completely filled with titanium alloy.
"Master, try it." Phillip picked up the armor and floated it in front of Su Hong.
"Elite Knight Armor (Excellent+): Scars are witnesses of your battle. It was once the standard armor of the Knights Temple and has excellent protective performance."
"Good job." Su Hong praised.
I tried on the thick armor and found no discomfort at all.
While Wang Chengzhi was still at home, he caused the shadow to spread into Wang Chengzhi's room.
In the messy room, Wang Chengzhi stood on the only place where he could stay.
It seems that he has also noticed changes in his body and is experimenting with his newly acquired abilities.
The young man stretched out his arm, and a shadow was pulled out from the corner, falling on his palm and turning into a shadow spear.
Subtle changes occurred after the Soul Orb was integrated into Wang Chengzhi's body. He gained the ability to control shadows with his soul, which was very different from the ability of the undead who had previously obtained the Soul Orb.
The blood ring in Su Hong's eyes turned, and he found a clue. This shadow spear was surrounded by thick blood mist, and its intensity was at least Disaster Level 4.
This shadow is more like he has controlled some power of the soul and used the ability of the mysterious shadow.
"He can exert level 4 power just after obtaining the disaster item. The mysterious shadow hidden in his body is really terrifying."
While Su Hong was still thinking, Wang Chengzhi was a little excited and eager to throw the spear.
Seeing that the shadow spear was about to shoot into the wall, the shadow invaded the entire room, and the spear was submerged in the shadow like water.
An ancient voice sounded from the shadows, "Boy, do you want to destroy your room?"
"Senior Shadow Demon?" Wang Chengzhi was stunned, "Do you think this is my introduction?"
"Of course." Su Hong coughed and said calmly: "This level of power is not even enough to tickle me."
"Be careful to hide your abilities so you don't get discovered."
Wang Chengzhi asked curiously: "Do you still have enemies?"
Su Hong glanced at him and sneered: "I'm just afraid that you will lose your life. There are organizations outside that specialize in hunting the undead."
After explaining the situation of the Divergents and the living Protz family to Wang Chengzhi, he finally realized what was going on, sweating all over his back, and his newly swollen heart suddenly calmed down.
For a moment, he thought he was going to be invincible, and he became the Shadow Man to save the world.
It seems that he is overthinking.
"Practice well, the end will come soon..."
The ancient voices grew fainter and the shadows faded.
Wang Chengzhi hurriedly asked: "Senior, how can I find you in the future?"
"Haha, after the apocalypse occurs, clean up the community and enter the dungeon. My servants will be waiting for you there."
After instructing Wang Chengzhi to obtain the right hand of the corpse ghost and to guard the fruit that had allowed Xu Yanrui to advance to four levels in a row, Su Hong left completely.
The shadow shuttled around the community and did not return to the room immediately. Instead, it fled towards the convenience store.
He needs to lay out everything before the simulation starts.
In the convenience store, Xu Yanrui sat in front of the checkout counter, holding her chin in her hands and looking out of the store, a little absent-minded. She touched her back from time to time, as if she was afraid that a ghoul's left hand would suddenly pop out.
A blood ring suddenly flashed across her eyes. She was still in the convenience store, but the mysterious man appeared in front of her again.
Xu Yanrui stood up quickly and swallowed, "Senior Shadow Demon, what do you want from me?"
"Xu Yanrui, as a new generation of fire bearer, it is not acceptable to act timid." The man in black robe said hoarsely. Xu Yanrui smiled a little reluctantly and muttered a few words secretly, "Hahaha, it's not like you have too much aura, Senior Shadow Demon."
Su Hong couldn't help but feel funny when he saw the woman being so cautious. What would she think if she knew that the person behind the black robe was a residential resident who was younger than her.
"Release your ghoul left hand and take a look."
"good."
Xu Yanrui's heart moved slightly, the lines on her back were slightly red, and the flesh sprouts came out of her clothes, forming a thin arm.
The woman hesitated to speak. In fact, she had always felt that the left hand of the ghoul was not in line with her aesthetic taste...
Su Hong glanced at her, "Why, you don't like it?"
"It's a bit ugly." Xu Yanrui said honestly.
“There’s a saying that goes, the uglier you are, the stronger you are.”
Su Hong stretched out his withered palm, and the Dead Apostle Curse was like a group of purple blood vessels, squirming in his palm.
"Hold it with your wight arms."
"oh."
After taking one look at the disgusting Dead Apostle curse, Xu Yanrui turned away and grabbed the squirming purple blood vessels with her ghoul arm.
Suddenly she showed a painful expression, frowned and fell to the ground, sweating on her forehead due to the severe pain.
The Dead Apostle's curse climbed up and spread along the wight's arm, and soon it covered the entire arm.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Xu Yanrui could hear her own violent heartbeat. She reluctantly raised her head and saw that the ghoul's arm was emitting purple light. The muscles were swelling with the rhythm of the heartbeat. The flesh buds continued to grow. After a while, the ghoul's arm was almost as thick as her arm.
The pain came and went quickly. When the suppressed tide faded away, Xu Yanrui felt that her sweaty body was relaxed as never before.
A reassuring force came back from her arm, and she felt that as long as she wanted to, she could lift an adult man with her ghoul arm.
The woman gasped slightly, her eyes bright, "Senior, you seem to be right, the uglier you are, the more powerful you are."
Su Hong clasped his hands together and said calmly: "The end of the world is coming, and I need you to join the Protz family in this world and become a member of them."
At present, the current Protz family still hides many secrets, and even the information about different forces has not been revealed.
If you want to find out the details of the current Protz family, sending undead spies is the best choice.
Xu Yanrui has a delicate and cautious personality. She is the best candidate to enter the living Protz family and obtain information. She can also indirectly let Li Jian and his family help him cultivate fire bearers, killing two birds with one stone.
As for whether Xu Yanrui would leak anything related to the Fire Bearer, he was not worried.
Xu Yanrui is a smart person. After entering the living Protz family, she will naturally understand the extraordinary power of the cursed hand of the Dead Apostle.
Furthermore, her joining the living Prots family will only happen tomorrow. He can get a glimpse of the result of a woman joining the living Prots family by entering the simulation today.
If Xu Yanrui betrayed him, he would know it in advance.
"The current Protz family?" Xu Yanrui showed a confused expression.
"This is an undead organization. It is located in the Shenyun Mountain tourist area on the outskirts of Qinghai District. You will know it if you go there."
Xu Yanrui asked carefully: "Senior, is there any danger?"
"Haha." Su Hong's figure flashed, instantly moving from the counter to the shelf, "As long as you don't reveal the identity of the fire bearer and my name, you'll be fine."
"Remember, arrive at Fenguang Subway Station on October 17th, my servants will be waiting for you there."
