Bulwark of Light

Chapter 521 The Poison of the Doru River

"Soaked in 'black silver', it shouldn't be able to gaze at the real world anymore, right?"

Gu Shen looked at the ruler that was dyed from silver white to jet black.

He didn't know the situation inside the ruler, but after Heiyin wrapped the ruler of truth, he felt a burst of relief from the bottom of his heart.

A deal with the devil is destined to be a long game.

Before he found out the truth about the fall of Pluto, he should minimize his conversations with that devil. That guy who lived in the darkness exuded a gloomy aura all over his body.

At the moment it looks like he has the upper hand.

But from the moment he entered the ruler, the scale of victory was already tilting to the other side.

The conversation just now was quite rewarding.

At least Gu Shen confirmed one thing.

That is, the ruler of truth cannot deny its own spiritual link...

As long as "Black Silver" can block the perception of the ruler, then he can firmly gain the upper hand in the next game!
During this time, he did not intend to use the ruler.

After finishing these, Gu Shen left the room.

He went to the cemetery alone.

……

……

After finishing the [Maze Mission], Gu Shen always had a doubt in his mind.

With Jin Suihua's strength.

Those explorers who arrived in the maze did not have the strength of a top fourth-order transcendent, and could hardly leave alive... But Hong Zhong escaped back. According to the records, this guy's extraordinary realm is probably the eighth layer of the deep sea.

How on earth did he do it?
Lin Lin, Zhong Yuan, and the members of the team who were on this mission... didn't know the existence of "Golden Spike Flower", so they thought that Hong Zhong's survival was just a fluke!
But Gu Shen knew that it could never be a fluke!
This guy... either has a hidden secret or a special sealed item!
Haoyue is in the sky.

Gubao, which had just ended a storm and catastrophe, looked extraordinarily bright and bright under the silvery white moonlight.

When the patrolling sentries saw Gu Shen, they did not stop him, but saluted respectfully.

Gu Shen entered the cemetery unimpeded all the way.

He came to Hong Zhong's tombstone.

Perhaps because of the heavy rain just now, some weeds grew around the tombstone... Before the "mental toxin" broke out, this place was still used as a place of mourning for "heroes". Send people to talk, trying to transport the body of the returnee Hong Zhong from the fortress to the inland of Beizhou.

Thinking about it now, it's scary.

If this "mental toxin" erupts inland...and spreads, then things are serious.

At that time, it will not be a problem that Gu Shen can solve.

Beizhou may have to spend a lot of manpower and material resources to solve this "disaster".

Gu Shen, on the other hand, will be forced to bear the disaster of fate brought about by the massacre of "Golden Spike Flower". In other words... he may bear a lot of ominousness because of this man-made disaster.

Fortunately, Lin Lin stopped all of this!
Even Gu Shen secretly admired this, because this guy doesn't have a "underworld fire".

As the garrison of the fortress, to make such a decision, one needs to withstand the enormous pressure exerted by the outside world.

I have to admit that Lin Lin's sensitivity is different from that of ordinary people. He has a hound's sense of smell, and he can clearly smell the crisis in "Hong Zhong".

This is a natural talent with a big heart.

"The breath in this tomb is a little strange."

Gu Shen resisted the golden hoop, and struggled to open a ray of "blazing fire", his pupils burned into a faint golden color.

Under the gaze, the weeds on the tombstone and the words carved on the stone all blurred and disappeared.

His gaze penetrated the ground, pointing directly at the coffin under the ashes.

The spiritual power of "Blazing Fire" directly touched the corpse of "Hong Zhong". Logically speaking... this is the mother body that bred the "Poison of Golden Spike Flower". remnants of soul.

However, this phenomenon did not appear.

The man in the coffin was so dead that he couldn't die... Even the last remnants of his soul disappeared.

As for the extraordinary source quality that should have remained in the coffin, there was not even dross left.

"What power broke his soul?"

Gu Shen squatted down.

He stretched out his palm and shook it slightly.

The ashes of the cemetery were continuously wiped away by the spiritual force, and after a few seconds, the brand new coffin surface was revealed.

Gu Shen decided to open the coffin directly.

The coffin opens...

A rotting corpse came into view. Hong Zhong's body had been burned, and now only bones remained on the burnt ground... But apart from the signs of burning, his body seemed to be eaten by some force. Gu Shen frowned. , Among Hong Zhong's bones, there is an old and dilapidated pendant, which has not decayed. It is tied around the neck, and at this moment it is sunk into the sternum.

Sealed item!
Gu Shen didn't reach out to touch it directly, nor did he use his mental power to capture the object.

He put on the gloves interlayered with black and silver, and carefully took out the pendant... This does not look like a lethal sealed item. This pendant should be a very old object with a delicate texture. The main body is a broken The cross seemed to be shattered obliquely. As for the chain part of the pendant, it was likely that Hong Zhi matched it himself, because under the black silver wrapping, Gu Shen just rubbed it lightly a few times, and the slender chain The chain slowly weathered and annihilated, leaving only the main body of the cross pendant.

After examining it repeatedly and confirming that there is no danger, Gu Shen tentatively sent a small ray of blazing fire into it.

Perhaps this is a spiritual sealed item.

Hong Zhong's soul was devoured, and his bones were completely corrupted...

The high probability is the function of this sealed item.

When probing with mental power, Gu Shen had already prepared the worst plan for sending "Blazing Fire" to never return.

However, the result was unexpected.

The process of "blazing fire" dipping into the cross pendant is extremely smooth.

And Gu Shen also felt a familiar soul breath... This cross pendant is indeed a sealed item of the spirit system, and a curled up weak soul floats in it.

Hong Zhong's soul was not devoured by the sealed item, but got [shelter] and hid here!
Gu Shen's pupils contracted.

I never expected that this time when I went to the mausoleum to open the coffin, I could find such a thing.

When the body is broken, the soul will also be destroyed... The only exception so far is the "Pure Land" of Hades, which is the legendary god who can control the rules of life and death, and even Hades needs to pay a huge price to preserve the souls of the dead .

Too late to think about it.

A deep voice sounded behind him.

"Hey……"

Gu Shen ended his spiritual immersion in an instant, he put away the pendant with his backhand, and looked back with a calm expression.

A not tall blond young man walked over slowly with his hands in his pockets.

Zhong Yuan came to Hong Zhong's grave.

The captain of the second team looked a little tired. After the storm fighting, he had not had time to rest. Looking at the dusty graves and the coffins that were opened outwards, he said in a hoarse voice: "There should also be ' The saying that the dead are the greatest'... you just opened his coffin, isn't it good?"

"This is the original source of the 'psychotoxin' outbreak, and I'm testing for any remaining psychotoxins."

Gu Shen's answer was impeccable: "If the mental toxins are not cleaned up, then the second outbreak will be more harmful than the first... In this case, there is no such thing as 'the dead are the greatest'."

Zhong Yuan fell silent for a while.

After a while, he nodded, expressing his approval of Gu Shen's behavior.

It's just...the ones buried here are, after all, the comrades who have fought with him for many years, and the comrades who have entrusted him to the back several times.

Until now, he still couldn't believe the report Yuan Yuan Suhe gave... In his memory, Hong Zhong was not a selfish person who would kill his teammates.

But the reality is cruel——

Discovery of Oasis' homecoming hero, North Island's biggest fake news of the year.

Hong Zhong killed his teammate and returned with a strong mental toxin, concealing the truth of the [Maze Mission], almost causing the entire Gubao Fortress to fall under the storm.

"Is there anything strange?" Zhong Yuan smiled softly, "When I leave the fortress, I still want to take this guy away."

"No abnormalities have been found for the time being." Gu Shen said calmly: "This corpse was burned before, but it was not thorough enough. I suggest that it be completely burned to prevent future troubles. If it's just for commemoration, you can take the ashes... "

He just took away Hong Zhong's pendant.

Judging from the power contained in that sealed item, Hong Zhong probably kept it a secret from everyone, but if the corpse was transported back to the inland, the Beizhou military would conduct another round of testing... maybe something bad would happen.

Direct cremation on the grounds of solving "spiritual toxins" will never cause future troubles for Gubao and Gu Shen.

It was impossible for Lin Lin to refuse his proposal.

Zhong Yuan struggled a bit.

"I burned it once before, and left a complete corpse," he sighed softly, and murmured, "It would be nice if I could take the ashes away... Before I came, I promised Lao Hong's relatives to bring him back hometown."

Zhong Yuan squatted down, and suddenly asked: "Brother Gu, do you feel that this corpse is not normal?"

"..."

Gu Shen calmed down and threw the question back: "What do you think is abnormal?"

"It was burned once, and it's normal that you can't see it. He withered up too quickly, and his body and spirit seemed to be swallowed by something." Zhong Yuan said slowly: "Before the burning, Lin Lin opened the coffin once, but In just a few days, Hong Zhong rotted away, leaving only a dry skeleton."

This is indeed unreasonable.

It's just... Gu Shen found a cross pendant on Hong Zhong's body, and he knew that this guy's soul was not swallowed by something, but lived in the pendant.

He continued to remain silent, waiting for the follow-up.

Zhong Yuan said meaningfully: "In the disaster area of ​​the Duolu River, people infected by [River Poison] are like this..."

The absolute main force of the Second Team of the Investigation Corps, following Zhong Yuan, has just participated in the mission of crusade against the disaster in the Dolu River!

This large-scale crusade against the disaster is a major battle carefully planned by the Beizhou military!
There are more than one general-level figures dispatched!
The information about the "Duolu River" is still blocked by the Beizhou military. The outer continent does not know the specific situation, but only knows that this major battle has been won.

The blond man stood up and said softly: "The 'poison' on this guy is from the same source as the 'poison' in the disaster area of ​​the Doru River."
