Chapter 1257: Corpse Crossing
Niu Niu looked at himself and saw that he had finally successfully activated a powerful title, and naturally felt infinite joy in his heart.
As for the fact that he was not a corpse collector but a corpse ferryman, he first thought it was a coincidence, but he quickly rejected this idea.
He admitted that he was lucky.
But getting this title is not just luck.
Compared to Si Chenjun, who previously won the title of corpse collector, his triggering method was different from the beginning.
First, before the burial, he felt something in his heart, and then he unconsciously developed the idea of saving others.
The emergence of this idea is related to a coincidence of favorable timing, favorable location and favorable people!
The right time means that as the Heavenly Dao of the Mountain and Sea Realm has been unsealed several times, the increase in the concentration of vital energy has also brought some subtle changes to the entire world. First of all, under this environment, Niu Niu has the opportunity to vaguely sense the remaining true spirits of the deceased before activating the title.
The second is the geographical advantage. The special area of the Ghost Market can be regarded as the boundary between the living and the dead. The large amount of death energy stored in it, coupled with the establishment of Qin Fan’s kingdom of God and the nascent consciousness of heaven and earth in the Ghost Market secret realm.
With the accumulation of these conditions, Niu Niu, who was not very strong, got the opportunity to communicate with the dead most closely.
That was why he was able to successfully meet the two conditions for activating this title, namely, the second condition, which was to dispel the resentment of more than twenty corpses at the time of burial, and the fourth condition, which was to fulfill the last wishes of more than ten corpses before they died.
As for harmony among people, it can be divided into two aspects.
The first is that his identity and connections allow him to mobilize a large number of fate body corpses. Just look at Jiang Tianxiong, the king of the underworld of a state, who could hardly hide his surprise when he suddenly saw so many fate body corpses. This is enough to show that it is extremely difficult for ordinary players to have such abundant basic conditions.
The second is Niu Niu himself. He is a magician who uses the power of the elements of heaven and earth for his own use. If it were a warrior of the same level, it would probably be difficult for him to capture the remaining souls on the bodies of the deceased.
In addition, there is another extremely important point, that is, the first source of magic opened up by Niu Niu is of Yin attribute, and before that he possessed an extremely important special physique-the Soul-Devouring Body.
Although this physique completely disappeared from the personal interface after Niu Niu accidentally died a subsequent time.
But Niu Niu felt that even if the panel did not show it specifically, in actual operation, he was still extremely friendly to Yin elements. Although it was not as exaggerated as when his physique was fully enhanced, it did bring about some changes to him.
That's why he can become a corpse ferryman.
After deducing this result, Niu Niu was actually more surprised than thinking that he was given this title just because of luck.
Just like he mentioned before about his understanding of titles, the so-called titles are an indispensable means for current top players. It is a matter of mutual selection. It is not that a player will become a big shot only after obtaining the title.
Rather, this title was born because of the existence of this player.
For example, after causing Si Chenjun's account to be deleted, even if Niu Niu tried to trigger it according to the strategy he gave, it was difficult to replicate his route. Instead, due to the bonus of time, place and people, he became a unique corpse ferryman.
At this moment, Jiang Tianxiong and Xuanyuan Sanguang also discovered some subtle changes in Niu Niu.
Not only did the title of Corpse Ferryman suddenly change above his head, but the other party also seemed to be hidden in a layer of fog, his aura blending with the heaven and earth, looking extremely unreal.
"What are you"
"Hit me!" Just as Jiang Tianxiong was about to ask, Niu Niu spoke first.
Currently, Niu Niu is still in the burial stage. There are dozens of corpses of destiny bodies provided by Xuanyuan Sanguang before. Even if not all of them are buried directly in the Wuli Ghost River, there are still some left after meeting the activation conditions.
Under Niu Niu's command, the opening of his title did not affect the burial work carried out by the ghost soldiers he had previously commanded.
In other words, he is currently in the state of immortality granted by the title effect six: The Name of the Corpse Ferryman.
So it would be convenient to take this opportunity to try out the title.
"Okay." Jiang Tianxiong agreed directly, then gathered his strength in his fist and threw out a Tiangang Fist.
The ice-blue fist light easily hit Niu Niu, and when it penetrated into Niu Niu's body, it dissipated into nothingness like a mud cow entering the sea.
Niu Niu looked up the long-lost battle information.
[You are attacked by Jiang Tianxiong. Due to the title effect VI: Name of the Corpse Crosser, the damage caused by this attack is zero.]
"Now there is a strong killing intent against me."
The moment Niu Niu finished speaking, Jiang Tianxiong, who had been cooperating obediently, was knocked to the ground by an invisible force. Fear appeared in his eyes. Even though his murderous intent towards Niu Niu had faded, the force that enveloped his body and made him unable to move had not diminished in the slightest.
"If it was just a normal attack, it wouldn't be considered interference? Or was the attack just now not strong enough, or was it filled with murderous intent and hostility, so it was judged as an enemy. Therefore, it was confirmed that Lao Jiang would interfere with my burial and thus be suppressed by the power of the world."
Niu Niu touched his chin, first looked at Jiang Tianxiong, who looked like a reptile, with an apologetic look, and then began to think deeply.
Because of many exchanges with [Blade Maniac and Sword Fanatic], he knew the effect information listed in the title, which were all paper power, but there were actually deeper hidden excavations inside.
For example, when the card of [Blade Maniac and Sword Crazy] is possessed, after each time it ends, it can actually absorb some of the martial arts insights of the possessed character. If you learn the main skills mastered by the character in advance, then after the possession is activated, you can exert its power to the limit.
At this moment, Niu Niu had a deep understanding of this, because the description given in the effect four of his title, Shelter of Death, was that in special areas such as dead air and corpse air, the bonus to his own Yin attribute and Yin element attack moves reached 100%.
But in fact, Niu Niu felt that his first magic source had undergone a great mana amplification. So with the subsequent use of magic, he could not only enhance the Yin attribute magic attack, but also his defensive assistance would be far beyond his usual state.
Then there is the most important title effect as a corpse ferryman: Book of Life and Death.
The explanation given is very simple: after completing the mission of the dead, there is a probability that the name of the deceased will be branded in the Book of Life and Death. Those whose names are recorded in the book can temporarily increase the strength of the corpse ferryman through their own strength during their lifetime.
But Niu Niu feels that there are a lot of hidden abilities that can be developed.
Then Niu Niu spread out his right hand, and a thin booklet appeared in his palm. It did not look real, and a layer of Yin energy attached to it was also mobilizing Niu Niu's magical power to maintain it.
And when Niu Niu opened the Book of Life and Death, the blank pages seemed to attract a large number of dead people to rush into it.
Because of the title, through the title's effect 2: Listening to the Whispers of the Dead, he can now truly see those lonely souls that others think do not exist. They are not in human form, but tiny black dots that are barely noticeable, wrapped in extremely fine black winds, circling around Niu Niu.
Perhaps because they were in the Ghost Market, there were a lot of these black winds, and when they gathered together, Xuanyuan Sanguan and Jiang Tianxiong could feel a chill all over their bodies.
That was why he could hear the subtle whispers that belonged only to the dead, filled with longing and confusion for entering the Book of Life and Death.
It's all an instinctive reaction.
But they could not actually touch the Book of Life and Death. Even when Niu Niu deliberately took the Book of Life and Death and slapped it towards the black whirlwinds around them, they all dodged for fear of being caught off guard.
Niu Niu did not force a lonely soul to integrate into the Book of Life and Death for experiments.
After receiving this title, he knew that he would inevitably have to deal with these little things in the future, and their help would be an important source of his power. He had already guessed that if he forced them to come into contact with the Book of Life and Death, bad things might happen.
Then Niu Niu will not do that.
This was the thought that came from his heart, and it was also the advice given by both [Knife Maniac and Sword Crazy] and the Rootless Demon during their previous discussion.
That is, don't violate your bottom line step by step because of your own utilitarianism.
For example, the former's title ability is completely dependent on cards, and the acquisition of cards depends on their issuance in the ghost market, including the level of the cards, which is also due to the ranking activities organized by the King's Chess and Card Room.
With [Blade Maniac and Sword Maniac]'s current strength and status, he can actually use his identity advantage to cheat, just like he can use the information he knows in advance to buy a certain card pack in a certain store and happen to get a most powerful limited edition card.
However, even though he has a few fixed cards that do not lose consumption as a guarantee, he is still addicted to spending money to draw cards.
As for the King's Chess and Card Room, you can directly assign it a high rank, or bribe your opponents in advance and brush up your ranking points with your eyes closed.
But he didn't do any of that.
After the war between the two worlds ended, he hung out in the King's Chess and Card Room, where he had his share of wins and losses in the ranking challenges, but he never got tired of it.
Needless to say, if the Rootless Demon really lets go of his bottom line as [XX Collector], he can really collect a large number of high-quality treasures at all costs. Although his past behavior has been very abnormal, he has been restraining this impulse.
After all, he didn't want to really become a root-eating evil ghost.
Then Niu Niu looked at the first item in the comment.
[Note: As a corpse ferryman, you must not do anything that desecrates corpses, otherwise you will be completely stripped of your title and will forever bear the curse of the dead.]
This restriction also made him reflect on himself and decide to be more careful in the future.
Because on the battlefield, if he uses an AOE skill and accidentally destroys a corpse, would that be considered desecration? This cannot be tested, and he needs to keep this boundary in mind.
After Niu Niu finished thinking, this batch of sea burials had ended, and a long string of words popped up in front of him: You buried XXX and gained XXXXX experience points.
The rewards were not small. Almost every corpse was equivalent to completing a Xuan-level mission. One of the powerful people with a destiny body who had reached the level of controlling the sky gave Niu Niu a six-digit experience reward.
Perhaps before this, Niu Niu had already been over-pacified and all the wishes that could be fulfilled had been completed, so no tasks were triggered during this wave of burials, and there was no chance to get the mark in the Book of Life and Death.
Niu Niu wanted to test the ability of Title Five, because it did not indicate whether every strong person whose name was imprinted in the Book of Life and Death could only increase his strength once.
There is also the issue of friendship, which makes Niu Niu even more confused.
The other party is considered dead, and it is just a task completed. It will not be ranked too high. Even if there is gratitude, it may only reach the level of being open-hearted. To go further, to be as close as brothers and as inseparable as life and death, it will take time to accumulate and the emotional sublimation after getting along with each other.
However, the information indicates that the extent of the enhancement and the duration of its maintenance depend on the key level of friendliness.
Then Niu Niu's attention was attracted by Xuanyuan Sanguang's actions.
The other party seemed to be observing the corpses buried at sea. When Niu Niu came to his side, he looked towards the Wu Li Ghost River, which was filled with deathly energy. With his current eyesight, he was able to see through the gray waves.
However, in the deepening darkness, there was nothing.
“Although the Wuli Ghost River has a certain corrosive effect, it is impossible for it to dissolve a corpse that has reached the strength of the Sky Control Realm in just one minute.” Xuanyuan Sanguang looked at Niu Niu with a little regret, “It must be because of you that it cannot be reused.”
“I didn’t even think about reusing it!”
Perhaps it is possible for a corpse collector to dig up and bury corpses many times to repeatedly gain experience points, but as a corpse ferryman, the key is to ferry souls. The corpse is just a medium for the true spirit to attach to and communicate with itself.
Niu Niu has just imagined that perhaps when the title is upgraded next time, the burial service will be directly targeted at the true spirit that is about to dissipate, or after being converted, the temporarily stable true spirit can be directly put into reincarnation.
So Niu Niu didn't plan to use this point repeatedly.
"I'm talking about me." Xuanyuan Sanguang admitted bluntly.
Niu Niu rolled his eyes silently.
"Let's have the second batch. Master's wife should have stipulated a certain number. I will pay the market price for the excess. Of course, I can't afford the corpses of masters at the Dharma Realm and the stronger Celestial Realm.
So, it's up to you to choose a more suitable corpse."
"Actually, the boss lady didn't specify the quantity, she just said as long as you are satisfied." Xuanyuan Sanguan touched his bald head.
This also made Niu Niu give up the idea of continuing to brush. He was touched by the love and care of his master's wife, but he couldn't continue to receive benefits. The activation of the title was already a great surprise. Continuing to damage the interests of Huangquan Casino would show that he, as an apprentice, was a little ignorant.
It would be better to go out and complete the task while carrying out the corpse-transferring work.
"Old Jiang is gone, Brother Xuanyuan, thank you very much this time."
After lying down for a while, Jiang Tianxiong finally recovered and followed with a resentful look on his face.
After the two of them had made a complete plan, they heard the news of the outbreak of demonic disaster. Originally, Niu Niu was planning not to add to the trouble and wait until the chaos in the Taoist domain was temporarily calmed before completing the task.
But in the end, this unexpected event happened. (End of this chapter)
