MMB Chapter 187 Recruiting the Undead Legion
Chapter 187 Recruiting the Undead Legion
Lin Fan stared intently at the large crystal on the altar.
Take it or not?
This is a very difficult problem.
If they take it, Aretas IV, who has just been recruited, along with his thousands of skeleton minions, might just mail it on the spot.
This is a new underling that Da Wu just took in. If I were to ruthlessly break his base, Da Wu would definitely cause a huge uproar in the mental space.
Not taking it?
Such a large piece of primordial crystal is right in front of us, why leave it to gather dust in this dark underground?
What's the difference between this and seeing a million dollars on the ground and not picking it up? It's an absolute waste!
Lin Jianguo, standing to the side, noticed Lin Fan's eyes darting around and said irritably:
"Hey, hey, feed me... Don't you dare mess around!"
This thing is really weird; even my Qilin Fire gets irritated by it. Don't touch it, or you'll get yourself into trouble.
"Old Lin...you have no idea what this thing is."
Lin Fan said something casually without explaining, and instead focused his attention on his mental space.
"Big Crow, Big Crow, I need to talk to you about something," Lin Fan called out in his mind.
As he called out, a ripple came from the depths of his mental space. Immediately afterwards, the Great Crow's consciousness was transmitted.
"Tell me, if I take this thing, will your gang of underlings give it a piece of their mind?" Lin Fan asked shamelessly.
Although Dawu's expressive ability is not very good, its comprehension ability is very strong.
After hearing Lin Fan's question, he quickly gave an answer.
The gist of it is that it doesn't know either, but it feels that it can try to put that crystal into the spiritual world.
Lin Fan's lips twitched.
"You mean... this thing can also be placed in the mental space?"
"And what if those skeleton soldiers outside also ended up residing in my mental space?"
A burst of cheerful mental energy emanated from the Great Crow, indicating that this was a possibility.
Upon hearing this explanation, Lin Fan's eyes lit up.
This is a feasible approach!
Previously, Aretas IV said that the crystal granted them the ability to reassemble themselves infinitely, but its weakness was that they could not leave the desert and could not get close to the crystal.
Moving the crystal into the mental space now is equivalent to bringing the server host directly home.
Not only will Aretas IV and his companions not die, but they can even achieve true "infinite resurrection without weaknesses".
Wherever I go in the future, I can summon this immortal army.
Isn't this just a classic mobile unit-producing strategy?
There's a huge bug!
"Let's do it! Big Crow, make the move!"
With this in mind, Lin Fan issued the order without hesitation.
The instant the command is issued.
The temperature inside the underground temple suddenly dropped.
Lin Jianguo had originally wanted to reprimand Lin Fan, but he swallowed the words back. He turned his head sharply and stared intently at the top of the altar.
Before Night Owl and Levi's eyes could even register what was happening, they both shivered and their legs went weak uncontrollably.
Above the altar.
Space began to distort without warning.
A pitch-black vortex suddenly tore open.
There was no sound of wind, no light or shadow. Only a chilling, eerie atmosphere permeated the depths of the vortex.
That extremely indescribable sense of mental oppression belonging to Da Wu descended once again.
"Holy crap! Why did you let that tentacle out again?"
Lin Jianguo cursed loudly, and his right hand instinctively ignited a ball of crimson Qilin fire to protect Li Weisi and Night Owl.
Lin Fan ignored his father and just watched quietly.
The fist-sized, murky crystal on the altar was lifted by an invisible force and slowly floated towards the black vortex. The black, fibrous material inside the crystal churned violently, trying to resist the suction.
However, the Great Crow's spiritual power is completely unreasonable.
The vortex suddenly expanded, swallowing the crystal whole.
clack.
The vortex closed.
The space returned to calm.
The altar was empty.
The extremely uncomfortable fluctuations within the temple also dissipated.
"This...this..." Night Owl rubbed his eyes, his face full of horror.
Levi swallowed hard, his gaze towards Lin Fan completely changing. It was the look of someone staring at a monster. The core of the curse, which even the Holy See couldn't handle, had been swallowed whole by this guy?
"Done, that's it."
Seeing this, Lin Fan clapped his hands in satisfaction, turned around and walked out.
"Let's go, there's nothing much to see here. Let's go outside."
no--
You...
Lin Jianguo quickly caught up and grabbed Lin Fan by the back of his collar:
"You little rascal, do you want to die? That thing is really weird!"
"Don't worry. I've entrusted it to Da Wu for safekeeping." Lin Fan broke free from his father's hand and strode towards the passageway.
However, just as Lin Fan and his group were walking out...
A terrifying scene is unfolding amidst the ancient city ruins outside the canyon.
The elite members of the Dark Night organization were sitting in twos and threes on the sand dunes.
Some people were smoking, some were checking guns, and others were watching the army of skeletons standing in formation not far away.
Aretas IV’s massive skeleton stood at the very front, motionless.
Sudden.
Aretas IV abruptly raised his head. The ghastly green soul flames in his eye sockets pulsed violently.
"This is……"
His hoarse voice had just rang out in the night sky.
In the night sky, a massive black vortex suddenly tore open without warning.
A terrifying suction force instantly enveloped the entire canyon.
The members of Dark Night were terrified and immediately raised their weapons.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
"hidden!"
However, the suction force of the vortex was not directed at living people at all.
Yellow sand rose into the sky from the ground.
Aretas IV didn't even have time to resist before his massive body was lifted off the ground and sucked into the vortex.
Next came the Nabataean skeleton soldiers.
"Click-click-click—"
Hundreds and thousands of skeleton soldiers, like garbage being sucked up by a vacuum cleaner, lined up and rose into the air, one after another disappearing into the black vortex.
Less than a minute.
The entire canyon was cleaned up completely. Not even a bone fragment remained.
The vortex then disappeared.
A night breeze blew through the canyon. Deathly silence filled the air.
The members of Dark Night stood frozen in place, guns in hand. Their mouths were agape, oblivious to the cigarette butts falling into the sand.
"This...this is the Vatican's doing?" A Night Elf leader's voice trembled.
"It's over, that army of the dead has been taken away. We're doomed..."
Panic spread rapidly among the crowd.
Just then.
Footsteps came from the direction of the stone gate.
Lin Fan strolled out with his hands in his pockets.
Lin Jianguo, Levi's, and Night Owl followed closely behind.
When the underling of the Dark Night saw the group emerge, he scrambled over to them.
"Chief! A black hole just appeared in the sky and sucked all the monsters away! It must have been a Vatican expert!"
Levi's heart pounded, and he subconsciously looked at Lin Jianguo and Lin Fan.
"Alright, stop making such a fuss." Lin Fan waved his hand, interrupting everyone's panic.
"There aren't any Vatican experts. Those guys just changed their base!"
The entire room fell silent.
Everyone turned to look at Lin Fan.
Levi's eyes widened:
"Young Master Lin, you mean... that black hole from earlier..."
"Yes, it's the black hole you know." Lin Fan smiled.
He didn't explain further.
The black vortex that Da Wu appeared in was something that those present had seen more than once or twice.
However, at that moment, he also sensed changes within the mental space.
The murky primordial crystal was placed by Da Wu in a corner of the spiritual space.
Meanwhile, Aretas IV and his army of skeletons remained quietly around the crystal.
At this moment, Lin Fan felt that with just a thought, this army of skeletons could appear in reality at any time.
Looking at Lin Fan, Lin Jianguo felt that he understood his son less and less.
"Hey kid, what's the deal with your octopus pet?"
"We met at the cherry blossom viewing spot, who knew?"
Lin Fan shrugged.
He raised his head and looked up at the night sky.
"Alright, let's not dwell on these details."
Dad, those two silly girls are still waiting for us to save them.
"Since those bastards from the Vatican dared to scheme against us, it would be impolite not to retaliate."
As he said this, a ruthless glint flashed in his eyes.
"Since they're resorting to underhanded tactics, don't blame me for razing the Vatican to the ground!"
