Douluo: Man in the Endless World, Auspicious Beast of the Far North

Chapter 124 Meng Hongchen: Oh~ Xiaoze, I’m scared!
"Mr. Yi, with your spiritual sense, can you clearly observe the general situation of this forest?" Yunze continued to ask.

In his mind, Alex pondered for a long time before speaking in a deep voice, "The depths of this forest seem to be filled with some kind of mist. Although it is the aura of death, its energy intensity far exceeds that of the several powerful people I have met in this world. Even the dean you mentioned cannot compare to the power of this aura of death."

Yunze, “!!!”

what does this mean?
Jing Hongchen's strength has reached level ninety-four. Considering the level of soul engineer, he can definitely fight against a level ninety-eight Super Douluo.

Even such a powerful person who is considered to be one of the top in the continent, his energy fluctuations are far inferior to the foggy energy in the depths of the Death Forest!
Limit? Or
god? ! !
Among the known places of inheritance of gods in Douluo Continent, apart from the Sea God Island ten thousand years ago, the Slaughter City where the Shura inheritance is located, the Angel Clan ten thousand years ago, the two god-level Dragon Kings who fell in the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire, as well as the Qiankun Questioning Valley and the Dragon Valley, there seems to be no other places where gods fell or inherited.

If it is true as Alex said, then the origin of this forest of death is extremely terrifying when you think about it carefully.

"Xiao Ze, what's wrong with you?" Meng Hongchen asked softly beside Yun Ze. Yun Ze came back to his senses and smiled at her. "It's okay, let's keep going."

Although Meng Hongchen was a little confused, he chose not to ask any further.

The group of five continued to move forward. The further they went inside, the more Yunze discovered something very strange.

After walking further in, the swamp under his feet was filled with a corrosive force, which was constantly eroding the ice surface condensed by ice elements.

You should know that Yunze's ice attribute has reached the ultimate level. Even a soul master who is several realms higher than him finds it difficult to suppress Yunze in terms of attributes. But now this swamp is so strange that it can even erode his ice element.

Yunze quickly told Elder Wang, Elder Sun, and Elder Jiang what he had discovered. The three elders were silent for a moment, and then Elder Wang slowly spoke, "Speaking of this, I remember something. It's said that a powerful evil spirit master was hunted here. Those who came after him had cultivation levels at least as high as Soul Douluo, but in the end, only one person emerged. And that person had no cultivation at all, was unconscious, and had no healthy flesh left on his body."

"I've also heard about this incident. Not only this one, but there were also people who entered the Death Forest later, but they never came out. It is precisely because of this series of strange events that no one has been to this forest for many years." Old Sun also spoke.

Hearing this, Meng Hongchen couldn't help but lean towards Yunze, and Yunze took the opportunity to hold Meng Hongchen's little hand.

"Ozawa."

"Don't worry, I'm here." Yunze smiled slightly. He was not nervous at all now, because only he knew that the Demon Spirit King who had been following them secretly had gone to the front to explore the way, and the special mark left on his body was still establishing a connection with him.

This means that, at least in the front, the Demon Spirit King has not encountered any danger that will leave her helpless.

As they went deeper, the cultivation of the soul beasts around them also improved, and thousand-year-old soul beasts had become very common.

Moreover, these soul beasts have a common phenomenon, their bodies seem to have mutated, covered with rusty scales and rotten flesh, and look extremely hideous!

"Hey~"

Suddenly, Meng Hongchen beside him tightened her hands and hugged Yunze's arm tightly.

Yunze looked to the side and found a very scary-looking soul beast walking towards them.

This soul beast is not in animal form, but more like a human, or similar to the undead skeleton warriors that Yunze had seen in anime in his previous life.

Beneath the rotten flesh were piles of white bones. In its hand was a strangely shaped weapon, which looked like a sword, but the blade was extremely curved.

"Seniors, has the empire ever recorded such a soul beast?" Yunze couldn't help but ask. Several old men narrowed their eyes and glanced at the soul beast, then shook their heads.

There are indeed soul beasts on the continent that have not been discovered or recorded by humans. Yunze nodded, raised his other hand, put his fingers together, and as the extremely cold energy gathered at his fingertips, a sword light suddenly burst out and went straight towards the soul beast.

Just as the icy sword energy burst out and was about to hit the soul beast, it suddenly raised the strange long sword in its hand at an extremely fast speed. A cold light flashed, and it actually collided directly with Yunze's sword energy.

"Ok?"

Yunze was very aware of the power of his Dragon Snow Sword Finger. When it was enhanced with sword intent, even a Soul King would be instantly broken through and pierced through the body.

The soul beast in front of him had only a soul power fluctuation of four or five thousand years. Even though there was a hole on the strangely shaped long sword, it did not cause much damage to it!

"The aura of death around it is actually protecting its body on its own?" Yunze became interested upon seeing this.

He gently patted Meng Hongchen's shoulder, and the latter obediently let go of Yunze's arm. Yunze and the three Jiang Lao looked at each other, and the icy power in his hand condensed. He clenched his palm, and in an instant, a slender dark ice sword appeared in his hand.

At the same time, Yunze's snow-white hair grew suddenly and stopped at his back. His pair of azure eyes also turned into vertical pupils like dragon eyes at this moment, looking extremely majestic.

With a light touch of his toes on the ice, Yunze's figure is extremely ethereal and very spectacular, but also very practical.

His body movement was naturally his own creation, "Treading on Snow Without Leaking a Footprint." This technique had been continuously improved as Yunze's mental strength increased. Originally, Yunze could only move about 20 to 30 meters with one step, and that was the limit of his body movement. But now, it had reached a distance of nearly 40 meters, and his movement speed was even faster, making it even harder to detect.

This soul beast was originally less than fifty meters away from Yunze. As Yunze used his body skills, the distance between the two sides was instantly shortened to within Yunze's most comfortable attack range.

Yunze held the sword and slashed it down horizontally. Yunze used his own soul power and sword intent to bless this sword, and the power was extremely terrifying!
whoosh-

boom!
As the sword energy hit, the soul beast's body was instantly blown into pieces. Countless pieces of rotten flesh and bones fell into the swamp and slowly sank to the bottom of the water.

Yunze put away his sword and circulated his soul power at the same time, condensing the swamp under his feet into an ice surface the moment he landed.

But soon, Yunze discovered something wrong.

The previously tranquil swamp suddenly began to bubble up from below. A moment later, countless pieces of flesh and bones reassembled, transforming into the spirit beast's appearance once again. "It can actually be resurrected? It must be cheating!" Yunze couldn't help but grumble. In his mind, Alex's voice echoed again, "It's the fault of this swamp. The active energy within it has condensed these corpse fragments together, making it appear resurrected, but in reality, it has lost its self-consciousness. This spirit beast now probably only has the instincts it had in life left."

"So that's it."

Yunze nodded, but even so, being unconscious was also a kind of resurrection.

Even if it is true as Alex said, all the soul beasts in this forest can be resurrected and reborn by relying on these swamps.

Damn it!
"It does have very similar characteristics to the undead creatures I control through my necromancy. Undead creatures also only retain the instincts they had in life and can also be resurrected using the energy of a necromancer. However, even in the Holy Demon Continent, necromancers are extremely rare. I only know of a handful of them, and besides me, the rest are already dead."

Electrolux said slowly.

After listening to this, Yunze became more curious about this forest.

However, he did not intend to take risks based on his curiosity. Not to mention that Meng Hongchen was in great danger here, Old Jiang, Old Sun and Old Wang were not related to him at all, and he did not want his curiosity to put these three old men into unknown danger.

"As long as I don't touch these swamps, I shouldn't be resurrected, right?"

"Well, this swamp is like energy, a medium for resurrection." Ilex answered.

"That's enough." Yunze said as he swung his sword with his right hand again. Another sword energy slashed across the sky, blasting the body of the soul beast that had just been resurrected into pieces.

Yunze did not stop after slashing with the sword. The power of the ice element surrounded him. The moment he saw the soul beast's body shattered, he instantly enveloped it, turning its broken flesh into pieces of ice chips, and then collected them beside him.

"There are traces of undead energy in its bones, which can be used as a means to cast undead magic. But this body has been repeatedly shattered by you. If you forcibly summon an undead creature, its strength will definitely not be as strong as before." Alex said.

Yun Ze didn't really care. If this kind of soul beast could be resurrected infinitely, it would be quite a headache. But if it couldn't, then it would be useless.

"but."

He raised the strange long sword in his left hand that he had taken from the soul beast after its death. The sword looked like it was made of a special kind of bone and also contained a very strong breath of the undead.

"This sword can be used as one of the materials for making magic weapons, but it alone is definitely not enough. If that were the case, the power of the magic weapon made would definitely be similar to the original evil spirit carving knife." said Alex.

"How much more do you think you need?" Yunze couldn't help but ask.

Ilex thought for a moment, "The quality of the magic weapon must match your talent and strength. With your talent, you have a great chance of becoming a god in the future, so this magic weapon must be crafted towards the level of a divine artifact. Of course, this doesn't mean you must obtain a divine artifact magic weapon right now, but the foundation must be good."

"I estimate that it would take at least a hundred pieces of materials of similar quality to make the long sword in your hand."

Yunze, “.”

Hundreds of items.
"Okay, for the sake of magic and martial arts, in order to become a powerful necromancer, I don't believe that I can't get hundreds of such materials here!" Yunze gritted his teeth.

Yunze used his skills again to land beside Meng Hongchen. He then addressed the others, "From now on, unless absolutely necessary, avoid fighting if possible. Seniors, do you have a rough idea of ​​the distribution of the Undead Black Gold here?"

After hearing Yunze's words, Elder Jiang and the other two exchanged a glance. After a moment's thought, Elder Wang spoke up, "I remember there was once a book in the hall that recorded information about the Forest of Death. There should be a small black gold mine in the west. It's said that besides black gold, there are also countless soul beast skeletons there, but they can't be resurrected like the one just mentioned."

Yunze nodded, "Then let's go west."

As he spoke, Yunze and the Demon Spirit King also communicated through branding.

"Demon spirit, did you find anything over there?"

"Not at the moment, except for soul beasts, there are only swamps. Oh, and young master, there's a mountain of corpses a little further in from where you are, but I felt something was amiss there, so I didn't go near it."

"A mountain of corpses?"

"Well, there are a lot of soul beast corpses piled there, forming a situation like a small hill. I took a rough look and these soul beasts should have been dead for a long time. I just don't know why they died together. Could it be that there is something there that attracts them to die there?" The Demon Spirit King replied.

Yunze was silent for a moment, "Master Yi, can you find the place the demon spirit mentioned?"

"Well"

After a moment of silence, Ilex suddenly exclaimed, "This is... Undead Gold? There's actually such a thing as Undead Gold in this world?!"

"Gold of the Dead?" Yun Ze was stunned. The bead that Ilex had transformed into trembled slightly. "Indeed, if the Gold of Life you possess can be compared to a special metal formed by the concentration of life energy, then Gold of the Dead is a special metal formed by the condensation of death energy. I have only heard of this kind of Gold of the Dead, but I have never seen it. I never thought that such a thing as Gold of the Dead could be found in this world. It is a treasure that can be compared with Gold of Life!"

Can it be compared with the gold of the living? This shows how rare and powerful this gold of the dead is.

Although there might be considerable danger there, Yunze still silently memorized this place.

He did not plan to go to the mountain of corpses that the Demon Spirit King mentioned immediately, but instead asked the Demon Spirit King to retreat and explore the way to the west first.

The group continued on their journey, heading west according to the location recorded by Mr. Wang.
