Chapter 183 Ancient Battlefield

A great war broke out that year, and Changping, whose 40 soldiers were killed by Bai Qikeng, a famous Qin general, is located in the valley near the Dan River between the East and West Liangshan Mountains in Gaoping City, Shanxi Province today. Villagers in Lu Village discovered it by accident when they were hoeing their vegetable fields. 【】

Roger found the information on the Internet, but it was enough for him.As long as you can go to the vicinity of the ancient battlefield and stick the soul-calling banner on the ground, you can absorb the power of the souls wandering around, and you don't need to know the precise location.

After taking a long-distance bus to Gaoping City, Luo Jie chartered a black taxi and rushed directly to Yonglu Village.Although the taxi driver offered [-] yuan at the first mouthful, Roger did not bargain with him.Now Roger also has a little money, and it is worth paying some money to absorb the power of the soul, and there is no need to waste energy on it.

The driver saw that Roger agreed readily, and treated him very attentively. He talked to Roger one after another along the way to show his goodwill for this high-roller.

"Sir, do you want to go directly to Yonglu Village, or go to the nearby river?" The driver asked Roger in Mandarin with a strong Shanxi accent: "You can go anywhere. I just ran there a few days ago. Very ripe!"

To be honest, Roger was not interested in that Yonglu Village. If he wanted to, it would be better to go directly to the Dan River Valley near the village.However, the driver actually guessed that Roger was going to the river, which surprised Roger, and immediately asked with great interest, "Why do you think I'm going to the river?"

"I guess." The driver smiled strangely at Roger: "A few days ago, some customers were going to the river near Yonglu Village, and they gave [-] as soon as they made a move, but they also brought a lot of luggage. There is only one person like you, and you don’t bring anything with your hands.”

"What are these people doing there..." The driver's words made Roger ponder: "Are they also interested in the power of the soul?"

Seeing that Roger was silent, the driver hurriedly laughed and said, "I'm just guessing and there's no other meaning, so don't take it to heart. But isn't it just a few people who work together in your business? A zongzi or something..."

Hearing this, Roger couldn't help laughing, knowing that the driver thought of himself as a grave robber.However, Roger could also hear from the driver's words that he did pull a group of suspicious-looking guys a few days ago, and the destination of these people seemed to be the same as his own.This made Roger vigilant, secretly reminding himself to be careful of the tomb robbers he might encounter.

However, Roger still had to put on a completely so-called appearance on the surface, and said to the driver with a smile: "I am a painter, and I came to collect scenery near the ancient battlefield. I dare not do those illegal things. You and I have nothing to do with our luggage." No, if you really do that kind of thing, do you dig it with your hands? Isn’t this a joke?”

Although the driver didn't believe Roger's words, he didn't refute them face to face. He just smiled casually and said, "Yes, yes, what you said is true!"

Roger didn't care whether the driver believed it or not, anyway, he really didn't come here to rob graves, even if the other party reported it to the police, he wouldn't be afraid.Roger lost interest in talking again, and fell asleep on the seat. When he woke up again, the car had already driven near the Dan River Valley.

The road here is already very difficult, the simple dirt road is bumpy and bumpy even when driving very slowly.Roger patted the back of the driver's seat lightly and said, "Okay, just stop here!"

Seeing that the place where Roger asked him to park was not in front of the village or behind the store, the driver confirmed that he was also a tomb robber, and even suspected that Roger was in the same group as the people he pulled a few days ago.The driver didn't want to get too close to these people, tomb robbery was a business that would cost his head, and if he provoked these people in a hurry, it was very possible that they would kill them to silence them.So after collecting the money, the driver stepped on the accelerator and left in the direction he came. The speed was even faster than when he came, and Roger couldn't help shaking his head and smiling wryly.

"Dude, do you really look like a bad guy?" Touching his face, Roger walked slowly along the river with some depression.

The information Roger obtained from the Internet is not detailed, it only said that the ancient battlefield and the place where Bai Qi killed the captives were near the river valley here.It wasn't until here that Roger realized that this was a huge area. If he wanted to determine where he could absorb the remaining soul power, he had to search hard.

Fortunately, this was not difficult for Roger. He took out the spirit-calling banner from the castle warehouse, unfolded it against the wind, and walked forward slowly.If it is far away, Roger is really like a tour guide holding the banner of a certain travel agency, but it is a pity that there are no tourists following him, otherwise he really looks like a tour group.

The soul gem made by BASF is also buckled on the small bamboo pole of the soul-calling streamer through the mithril base.The craftsmanship of the master alchemist is beautiful, the soul gem is firmly buckled on the soul-calling streamer, even if it is shaken vigorously, it will not shake in the slightest.Roger walked along the valley like this for more than an hour, and the sky was getting dark. Suddenly, it was as if he pressed a switch suddenly, and the golden soul gem suddenly lit up.

"This is it!" Castle Shu said excitedly: "When the power of the soul permeates the surrounding space at night, you can start to do it."

"Then we have to wait for a while." Roger looked around and chatted a little: "If I knew it, I would bring a

s is here to play, alas! "

But it's too late to think about it now, Roger can only find some dead trees nearby as firewood, light a small bonfire and wait for the night to come.Although Roger left in a hurry, there was plenty of food and water in the castle warehouse, so there was no need to starve, and the waiting time was not particularly sad.

Roger has long been used to camping in the wild in the world of Torenzo. Although he is alone in this uninhabited place, he doesn't feel the slightest fear.In fact, Roger even hopes that the night will come soon, so that he can absorb the power of the soul earlier.

The sky darkened very quickly in the wild, and after the twilight at the edge of the day slowly disappeared, the night soon came.In this place far away from the city, the stars in the sky also appear to be many and bright.But in Roger, the starry sky on Earth is far from the world of Torenzo.The night sky in the world of Torenzo is truly spectacular. Even without counting the numerous and bright stars, just two moons, one red and one blue, are enough to amaze people on Earth.

After Roger waited patiently, the time finally approached midnight.Just after one o'clock at twelve o'clock, an astonishing change appeared around him.

In the night sky around Roger, many faint halos appeared faintly.These halos are like a miniature version of the aurora, and they are somewhat similar to some luminescent jellyfish that live in the deep sea.Flickering and floating in the sky, it makes the somewhat boring night come alive in an instant.

Of course, such a spectacle can only be appreciated by Roger, who is fused with the castle hub. Ordinary people cannot understand the power of the soul floating in the air.Perhaps some particularly sensitive people will feel palpitations and even chills down their backs here.These are generally interpreted as the fact that too many people died in the ancient battlefield, which caused the yin to be too heavy, so people feel this way. In fact, this is exactly the reaction of people when they are surrounded by the power of the soul.

"The remaining soul power has appeared!" Castle Shu said excitedly: "I didn't expect that there were a lot of them. This time it really didn't come in vain!"

Roger curled his lips after hearing what the castle hub said: "At least 40 people have been killed here, how much resentment do they have when so many people are buried alive? It's normal to leave so much soul power!

"You're right!" Castle Hub agreed with Roger's words unreservedly, and then urged loudly: "Hurry up and start absorbing the power of the soul!"

Speaking of using the soul-calling banner is a technical task, fortunately, after many attempts, Roger has somewhat mastered the trick of activating the soul-calling banner.After Roger tried a few times, the soul-calling banner finally began to absorb the remaining soul power around him as he wished.

Under the action of the soul-calling banner, the power of the souls that were floating in the air gathered in the direction of Roger one after another.The closer the distance to the soul-calling banner, the faster the movement speed of the soul power, and the slower it is at a distance.The power of these souls gathered towards the soul-calling banner in a circle, and soon formed a huge glowing disc.

And the place where the soul power is relatively concentrated in the center of the disc is brighter than the place where the soul power is thinner in the distance.Roger is holding this rare spectacle in his hand, as if he feels like he is in the heart of a small galaxy, and the spiritual banner in his hand is like a huge black hole, which will disperse all the luminous matter hovering in the sky. Inhale it all.

In fact, the summoning banner did exactly that.The thin but huge amount of soul power circled and gathered, and then all of them were absorbed into this magic weapon.When the soul-calling flag began to absorb the power of the soul, the soul gem also emitted a bright light.Roger knew that the soul gem replaced him at this time, and accepted part of the soul power absorbed by the soul-calling flag, so that he didn't have to worry about his body collapsing due to overwhelm.

When more and more soul power was sucked into the soul-calling banner, the castle hub laughed proudly: "Haha, I guessed right, it really works, I'm such a genius!"

Hearing what the castle hub said, Roger was also in a cold sweat.Ganqing is not too sure about his own ideas, he is also crossing the river by feeling the stones.Fortunately, everything is going well now, and Roger stopped arguing with the castle master, and quietly let the soul-calling banner continue to absorb the power of the soul.

Roger's estimate was not wrong. In this ancient battlefield where hundreds of thousands of people died that year, the power of the soul is indeed very abundant.It took more than two hours for the soul-calling flag to absorb the power of the souls floating nearby.When the last gleam of light disappeared from the spirit-calling banner, Roger let out a long sigh of relief, and carefully put away the treasure.

The first successful trial of this method today is equivalent to finding a new method for Roger to absorb more soul power in the future. Therefore, the soul-calling banner has become more important, and it must be well preserved.

However, according to Castle Shu, so many people died here, there must be more than just such a little soul power.All he absorbed tonight was the power of the soul floating nearby, there must be more elsewhere.Roger took this very seriously, since he had come all the way anyway, of course he had to absorb all the soul power here before leaving.
