Chapter 1450: The hideousness of the ghost army! (2/2)
Enclosing the ghosts in the skeletons and refining them into skeleton soldiers can also be regarded as a kind of ”possession”, which has both advantages and disadvantages.
The advantage is that the ghost is protected by the skeleton, and it is more difficult to break apart, and the skeleton is more convenient to hold some heavy weapons and directly attack the flesh and blood of the enemy. If the ghost is extremely powerful, it can also condense dozens of skeletons, and even mix into the huge beast. The bones, refining a unique super skeleton soldier out, the power is even more powerful.
In ancient times, when there was no ”spiritual prosthesis” made of super alloys, the natural and pollution-free skeletons were even the most primitive ”spiritual prostheses”?
But the disadvantages are also obvious.
Without muscles, meridians, and blood vessels to manipulate, the movements of the skeleton soldiers are too slow and rigid. If they are not careful, their joints will slip, break, or shatter, collapse to the ground, and cannot move.
Except for a very small number of elite soldiers and powerful generals who can engrave various talisman formations on the skeletons to increase flexibility and attack power, the vast majority of skeleton soldiers are regarded as one-time consumables.
More importantly, the skeleton can't fly, and can only slowly crawl over from the ground honestly, and then lose the most important flexibility of the ghost.
The skeleton is like a pair of armor, but also like a shell. The advantages and disadvantages are obvious. Therefore, all the Yin soldiers and ghost army cannot be stuffed into the skeleton, but it can only be used as a relatively important unit.
”Woo...”
From the depths of the Yin Bing Ghost Army, there was a crooked sound that made people hear the sound of a trumpet that was about to vomit blood.
”Wow! Wow! Wow!”
The last few thousand coffins of the military formation suddenly shattered at the same time, and thousands of heads appeared from the coffins with pale faces and zombies with subtle appearances on their skins.
The vast majority of zombies shone with bronze luster, but some were silvery, and a few shone with dazzling golden light, just like the aristocratic nobles in the army of ghosts.
Zombies are really a very interesting thing. They are very rare in a very small number of modern cultivation civilizations, but they are not uncommon in the ancient world of cultivation.
The existence of zombies is really against common sense-since after death, the heartbeat and breathing are all stopped, and the mitochondria in the cells are no longer working, unable to swallow and release energy, then why are zombies dead and immortal, so powerful?
After he personally inspected the ancient sacred world and combined some of the methods of corpse raising and refining in this place with the theories of the modern comprehension world, he slowly realized the mystery.
According to Li Yao's estimation, the so-called ”zombies” should be practitioners who have cultivated into a corpse like steel and iron, and got some special microorganisms or parasites in them.
These special microorganisms regard the corpse as its home, and carry out a series of mysterious and mysterious transformations on the corpse, resulting in a variety of incredible characteristics.
The story often talks about ”green-haired zombies” and ”white-haired zombies”. The growth of green and white hairs is an extremely common phenomenon in the process of cultivating microorganisms and bacteria.
Therefore, what ”raising and refining corpses” is actually the clever use of special microorganisms by the ancients, and there is no essential difference between using bacteria to brew yogurt.
When a corpse is successfully refined, it will infiltrate the ghost to control it, turning it into a zombie that can move freely and exchange psionic energy with the outside world. Its attack power, flexibility, and defense are 100 times more than ordinary skeleton soldiers.
As for the microbes in the zombies, there is no intelligence anyway, so there is no need to worry about the ghosts conflicting with them.
New dead souls, old ghosts, skeleton soldiers, and zombie commanders, with clear banners and strict military laws, condensing a ghostly spirit, soaring to the sky, making the entire sky covered with clouds, like a dark ocean. To half the sun.
In the middle and rear of the ghost army, there is a huge car wheel built with countless white bones, like a moving white bone palace, faintly exuding a blade-like coldness, releasing an endless gray breath, it should be the white lotus Mother Wan Mingzhu's method of driving.
Even if she knew that the white lotus mother Wan Mingzhu was there, surrounded by a million Yin soldiers and ghost army, with the five masters of Li Yao, Yan Liren, Qi Zhongdao, Ba Xiaoyu, and Kuchan, it was impossible to rush over directly. Take its first rank in the Wanjun Cong.
What's more, people didn't have the first level for you at all, and if there was a slight disturbance, it turned into a light smoke and ran away.
Therefore, the ”White Lotus Mother Hunting Team” headed by Qi Zhongdao can only wait quietly on the psychic flying boat, waiting for a better opportunity.
Standing on the ship's side, Li Yao took his gaze back from the Yin Bing Guijun, and glanced at Dongning Mansion, the largest city in the southeast under his feet.
This prosperous city with the title of ”The City That Never Sleeps” is now immersed in a panic and lifeless atmosphere.
The scale of Dongning Mansion is dozens of times larger than Huxiao City, and the city wall is also two or three times taller. Two faces the sea, one faces the mountains, and the other side facing the landing site is covered with trenches, pits, and horses. There are also hundreds of huge pillars with a height of tens of meters, four or five people, engraved with golden runes, standing silently under the tower, forming an indestructible defensive array!
