Chapter 362 (1/2)
After quietly wearing his clothing, Long Yi got off the bed. After covering Nalan Ruyue who was sound asleep with a quilt, he walked out of the tent.
”Old b.a.s.t.a.r.d, are you peeping?” Long Yi asked in an angry voice.
”Jie jie, even if you let me see, I have no interest in these stuff. What's so good about two piles of s.h.i.+ning white flesh? Your skeleton is far more pleasing to the eye.” The shadow laughed and said.
”You inhumane monster, could it be that you are a Bèibèi?” Long Yi smirked and asked.
”What is a Bèibèi?” The shadow couldn't help but ask curiously. Its broken gong-like voice sounded inside Long Yi's mind as the shadow
”Bèibèi is man and man, that……” Long Yi explained with a strange expression on his face. It was as if Long Yi had already affirmed that this old fellow came down from Brokeback Mountain. [1]. Otherwise, why would he not have any interest in 'that' matter between men and women? Or maybe, he had already grown so old that he couldn't do 'it' anymore.
”Man and man? Also no woman…… stop with your bulls.h.i.+t. Are you even serious about enhancing the strength of your skeleton?” The shadow spoke halfway and suddenly changed the direction of the conversation. It was obviously not going to talk to Long Yi about relations.h.i.+ps between two men.
”Of course! Of course, I want to enhance the strength of my skeleton, but how am I supposed to do that?” Long Yi hastily answered. In order to pa.s.s through this Death s.p.a.ce, they had to past the Three-headed Demonic Dragon in front of them. Currently, enhancing Long Two's strength would increase their chances of pa.s.sing through this Death s.p.a.ce.
Following the shadow's instructions, Long Yi casted a barrier and isolated himself from the outside world. Only after ensuring that he definitely couldn't be disturbed did Long Yi summon the 18 super skeletons.
”Among these 18 super skeletons, other than the one holding the death scythe, the remaining 17 are only there to make up the numbers. It would be a good idea to merge the other 17 skeletons with the Dark Spirit Crystal Soul with the 1 super strong skeleton. The result would definitely be a hundred times better without any drawbacks than just giving the Dark Spirit Crystal Soul to the super strong skeleton directly..” The shadow said.
Merge these 18 super skeletons into one? Long Yi hesitated for a moment. These 18 super skeletons had accompanied him for a long time, although only Long Two had developed its own consciousness he was still reluctant to part with the other 17.
Sensing the thoughts in Long Yi's heart, the shadow couldn't help but laugh. It began to console Long Yi, ”In any case, the others don't have their own consciousness anyway. Besides, it's not like they are all going to disappear, they are merely going to merge together and form a single skeleton.”
Long Yi nodded his head. What the shadow said was also reasonable. After all, the other 17 skeletons are going to become part of Long Two's body and not somewhere else. After he thought about this, Long Yi no longer hesitated and agreed to merge the 18 super skeletons together.
”Now I will teach you the Dark Condensed Magic Spell. This magic spell isn't difficult. Relying on your dark magic power, as long as you are not distracted, you will succeed.” After the shadow finished speaking, Long Yi felt as though his brain was swelling up as a stream of information rushed into his mind. As it turns out, this shadow was unexpectedly using spirit power to directly brand a cultivation technique into his memory. After the transmission finished, the shadow silently disappeared.
Long Yi silently contemplated the magic spell pa.s.sed on to him by the shadow. When he opened his eyes, two deep and serene black light was circulating around him. Long Yi muttered the incantations along with a hand gesture, then the 17 super skeletons instantly began to revolve around Long Two. Their speed got faster and faster, and gradually, they couldn't be seen clearly as they spun around Long Two.
Seeing as the time was ripe, Long Yi took out the Dark Spirit Crystal Soul from inside his s.p.a.ce ring and tossed it towards the sky. Black Qi instantly rushed towards this Dark Spirit Crystal Soul and the crystal absorbed all of it. This Dark Spirit Crystal Soul stopped right above the head of Long Two and a faint black mist began to flow out from inside it. This black mist began to revolve around Long Two and the 17 super skeletons.
The black mist gradually became denser and after several minutes, it completely enveloped the 18 super skeletons. Forming a huge black vortex in the air, the Dark Spirit Crystal Soul floating in the air began to slowly shrink until it completely disappeared.
Long Yi's entire body was also surrounded by a dark mist throughout the process, but he was unaffected by the dark mist as he continuously chanted the obscure incantation the shadow gave him. Since the start, Long Yi's hands were frequently moving inside the dark mist as he chanted the incantation.
Roughly after four hours, Long Yi slowed down his chanting speed before stopping altogether. Long Yi looked up and stared at the black vortex without blinking, waiting for the process to end.
By this time, the pitch-black sky outside the barrier had already become dusky enough to see things. Looking up, one would be able to see the hazy sun in the sky.
As soon as she woke up, Nalan Ruyue looked around for Long Yi. Seeing as he wasn't in the tent, she immediately put on her clothes and hastily left the tent to look for him. After experiencing that lingering feeling last night, she didn't want to leave Long Yi for even a moment.
As soon as she came out of the tent, she saw Wushuang also coming out of her tent. The two women looked at each other, and their beautiful face simultaneously reddened, having a guilty conscience.
”Where is Long Yi? Still not awake yet?” Wushuang collected herself and asked with an indifferent voice.
As soon as she heard Long Yi's name Nalan Ruyue came back to her senses. Looking all around for him, she said, ”When I woke… woke up, I didn't see him. I have no idea where he went after…”
Wushuang slightly knitted her brows. Using her spirit power to scan the surroundings, she sensed magic fluctuation coming from a barrier spell not too far away from them. Leading the way, Wushuang brought Nalan Ruyue to the place where she sensed magic fluctuation to look for Long Yi.
Long Yi had set up a dark element barrier. Since this Death s.p.a.ce was basically overcast, the barrier looked like a shadow on the ground. If they didn't examine the place carefully, they wouldn't have found the barrier Long Yi set up.
”He is inside the barrier… He's probably doing something important if he had to set up a barrier, we should just wait outside.” Wushuang said, as a hint of worry flashed in her clear eyes.
Inside the barrier, the black vortex was slowing down. The slower the vortex spun, the smaller the vortex became. Finally, the vortex completely stopped and a figure could be seen in the dark mist. Next, this dark mist became thin and a hazy shadow of the thing inside could be seen. The indistinctly visible figure was a head taller than Long Yi and this shadow held a blood scythe. This figure should be Long Two, after the 17 super skeletons and the Dark Spirit Crystal Soul merged with it.
When the dark mist completely dispersed, Long Two became visible which greatly surprised Long Yi. Long Two who had the same height as him previously was currently a head taller than him. The dark bones which made up its body had changed into a suit of armor which possessed distinct bone lines, and the strangest thing was the eight coa.r.s.e bones protruding out of its back. Four of them were on the left and the remaining four were on the right. Even on its formerly bare skull-head, there was a helmet made from a piece of thick bone. The only thing that didn't change was the red light flas.h.i.+ng in its pitch black eye sockets.
As for the death scythe in Long Two's hands, it became twice as thick and the veins on the weapon were clearly visible.Moreover, that sharp red curved-blade on its end emitted a bewitching halo. Long Yi was sure that this death scythe could cut off the throat of enemies with a light wave. What made Long Yi even more excited was, Long Two emitted a huge amount of dark aura which was worlds apart before its transformation. If the dark aura it was giving off in the past was a lake, the dark aura it was currently giving out could be compared to the ocean. Seeing Long Two's transformation, a cold sweat formed on Long Yi's face. If Long Two were to betray him right now, Long Yi would definitely be unable to stop it.
”Boss.” A voice was heard in Long Yi's head as Long Two sent its greeting.
”Long Two, how do you feel now?” Long Yi came back to his senses and asked. The wood was already made into a boat, what could he do by thinking so much?
”Feeling? The death qi in this place is very heavy and very comfortable.” Long Two answered.
”Long Two, I am your boss. From now on you should always listen to me, whatever this boss tells you to do, you should follow. Do you understand that?” Long Yi said to Long Two while being happy and worried in his heart.
”Boss… Yes. Long Two will always listen to Boss. Whatever Boss asks me to, Long Two will definitely do.” Long Two repeated as if it was mesmerized by Long Yi's voice.
Long Yi was startled. Could the consciousness of Long Two that was just formed be like a black piece of paper? Then can I condition him to behave the way I want? As he thought about this, Long Yi instilled thoughts which would benefit him into Long Two's consciousness. The most important thought he instilled was it should listen to his words and follow his commands without any objection.
After completing the evolution of Long Two, Long Yi thought about testing its strength. He waved his hand to remove the barrier and saw Wushuang, Nalan Ruyue and Barbarian Bull waiting outside the barrier.
”My husband, you finally came out!” Nalan Ruyue happily ran towards Long Yi, but only after she took a few steps, she saw a sudden appearance of a tall and strange skeleton in front of Long Yi. Inside its pitch-black eye-sockets, a red light that could seize the soul of people was flas.h.i.+ng.
”Ah……” Nalan Ruyue was startled and subconsciously used holy light magic.
A soft light shrouded Long Two but didn't manage to damage him in the slightest. Without reacting to the Holy Light Magic, its body merely flashed with black light then that milky white holy light disappeared without a trace.
