Volume 18 Chapter 216 Secret

Chapter 216 Secret

Facts have proved that pure gold is of course impossible, but the material of this building is more terrifying than pure gold, because it is built from a whole piece of soul gold.

What is soul gold? Soul gold is to crush and compress the soul of a living body according to the method of energy compression. Finally, when the soul body is condensed to the point where it can no longer be compressed, if the pressure continues to be applied and exceeds a certain critical point, the originally incorporeal body will be destroyed. The soul will suddenly undergo a state change, instantly changing from invisible matter to tangible substance, and this physical substance is soul gold.

Since soul gold is something compressed from the soul, its essence is actually the soul, and the soul is, to put it bluntly, a very dense energy body. However, although the energy density of the soul is very high, the compression ratio required to turn it into soul gold is absolutely amazing. An ordinary person without any training, after his soul is completely condensed into soul gold, can probably form soul gold as big as a grain of dust. If the Tomb of the Seven Heroes in front of us was completely compressed with the souls of ordinary people, then it would be useless to kill all the lower creatures in the world, because there is simply not enough energy.

However, the output of soul gold actually has little to do with the number of compressed souls. What really determines the output is the strength of the soul. In the game, this kind of soul strength is generally linked to the level. Of course, the strength of different races will be different. For example, the soul strength of undead creatures is generally higher than that of other creatures. After all, there is nothing else except the soul. The soul It is impossible to become an undead without being strong.

Although the soul of an advanced life form can produce a larger volume of soul gold after being compressed, even a person like me who is number one in the combat power list, or a being like the Jade Emperor, the Great Sun Tathagata, or even Anubis, will not be able to survive after his soul is compressed. The volume will never exceed the original volume of its soul. In other words, even if Anubis' soul is compressed into soul gold, its volume will never be larger than the current Anubis.

The output of soul gold is so low, and the building in front of me is so big. How many souls does it take to press out such a large piece of soul gold? After figuring out the structure of this thing, I was almost stunned by what I discovered. It was like someone going hiking on the weekend, and accidentally discovered that the entire mountain was one piece except for the outer layer of soil. Like a diamond, this kind of shock will definitely make most people collapse on the spot.

"This, this, this... how did you get this thing in the first place?" Looking at the Tomb of Seven Heroes, I started to tremble even as I spoke.

The national master skeleton explained: "Actually, we don't know where this thing came from. We just discovered this underground space, and then found the soul gold fragments scattered throughout the cave. After that, we used The formation fused the broken soul gold fragments together, and then made this Tomb of Seven Heroes."

"You mean this thing formed naturally?"

"That's not true." The skeleton national master replied: "We didn't know what this place looked like at first. It seems that the cows from nearby farmers fell into the hole at first, and then the villagers came here to find the cows. . However, the ignorant people at that time did not know the value of soul gold. They just thought that this golden thing was very beautiful, so they took it out and dedicated it to the local nobles. The nobles got this thing and forwarded it to the monarch. Later, my master found it. This piece of soul gold and explained the origin of this thing to the monarch."

"Then what?"

"Then the monarch naturally wanted to mine on a large scale. But when the master and the monarch's people arrived, everyone in the village was gone, and the team that came also encountered a large number of demon attacks."

Although the Imperial Master has not finished speaking, I already understand the reason. "With the soul strength of an ordinary person, exposed to such a pure soul crystal every day, only the unchanging monsters can have ghosts!"

"Sir, you are indeed smart." The Imperial Preceptor did not forget to flatter him: "It happened just as you guessed. It was later confirmed that all those monsters were transformed by local villagers, and some half-human beings were also found during the sweep of the village. Monsters of demons. Later we learned that those half-human, half-demon monsters were actually villagers whose soul power was too weak to withstand the power of soul gold and could not be completely demonized. Later, Master and the others learned from those half-human, half-demon villagers When the soul gold turned people into demons, the semi-demonized villagers asked to help them end their pain, so the monarch sent people to help them understand life and built a public cemetery to bury them. However, after that, the monarch When the team sent by the police returned to the palace with this news, they heard that there was a monster in the palace. My master immediately thought that it must be the tribute of the piece of soul gold. It turned out that the monster was a favorite of the monarch. Ji. The king gave the tribute piece of soul gold as a gift to the concubine because he could not figure out its use. As a result, the concubine played with the piece of soul gold every day, absorbing too much soul power and causing mental illness. Losing control and turning into a monster.”

"Is it because of the demon incident that the monarch ordered the sealing of this place?"

"This is what we claim to the outside world."

"foreign?"

"Actually, it's not like that. There was indeed a demon in the palace at that time, but there was not just one, but four. In addition to the beloved concubine, there were two maids and the little princess."

"With so many people turning into demons, the monarch should be even more angry? Why do you announce it to the public like this? The monarch already has a reason to be angry and seal up the soul gold."

"There is indeed such a reason, but the monarch only uses it as an excuse."

"Why?"

"Because when my master rushed back to the palace, only three of the demons were killed, and one demon was not dead. At first, he simply thought that the demons were causing trouble, so the guards killed the other three demons. . But the master rushed back at this time and informed the monarch that the demon might have been transformed by someone in the palace. After knowing this, the monarch ordered not to hurt the last demon, but in order to prevent the demon from hurting people, he still caught it And locked them up. Afterwards, the palace carefully checked the identities of the missing persons and those who died at the hands of the demons, and finally confirmed the origins of the four demons, and confirmed through the demons' reactions that the demon was actually the monarch's favorite little princess. .”

"Then what?"

"Then the monarch was in great pain. It was okay if he didn't know it before, but after knowing that the monster was his favorite daughter, he couldn't bear to do it. Later, when my master saw that the monarch really couldn't make up his mind, he came up with an idea to let the monarch tell the outside world. Announce that the little princess died at the hands of a monster, and then secretly hide the monster that the little princess turned into."

"The results of it?"

"As a result, the monarch accepted the master's suggestion and made some minor adjustments. The monarch announced that the demon appeared because of the ominous soul gold, so he classified the object as evil and ordered no one to touch it. Once discovered, it was immediately sealed and buried. This soul The place where a large amount of gold was accumulated was also sealed. In fact, the place we were in did not need to be entered through the entrance we dug before, but was directly connected to the outside. The top here was sealed by the monarch, and we The tunnel that was dug was built later, with the purpose of secretly building the Seven Heroes Tomb to seal the remaining soul gold after sealing the entrance. However, when sealing the soul gold, the monarch discovered that the little princess who had turned into a demon actually liked touching the soul gold. , so the monarch felt that even if the little princess was imprisoned, she should be less painful. So in the end, the monarch asked the master to find a way to melt the soul gold, and used the soul gold to build the Tomb of the Seven Heroes and seal the little princess in the tomb. "

"What? Is this thing a prison?"

"Absolutely." Guoshida said: "Actually, I was just born when the monarch ordered this place to be closed. Later, when I was picked up and raised by the master, I followed him here all the time. After the master passed away, what happened here? The task was handed over to me. During this period, the monarchs also changed three times. However, because the subsequent monarchs knew the inside story, they insisted on completing the building. After all, no one at that time knew how to use soul gold. They only knew that this thing could Create a monster. Such an ominous thing is naturally best sealed."

"Eh...isn't that right?"

"What's wrong?" The Imperial Master immediately became nervous when he heard what I said was wrong.

"Soul gold is a high-concentration soul crystal. If ordinary people are exposed to it for a long time, they will become monsters because their souls cannot control the absorbed soul energy. Your workers here are ordinary people who have been building structures made of soul gold here for a long time. Qixiong Tomb, doesn’t that mean that you have been exposed to the soul gold for a long time? You said before that workers have bred here for two generations. Could it be that all the monsters bred afterward are monsters?”

"Sir, you are indeed smart." The National Master flattered him again and said, "Back then, my master found a way to temporarily eliminate the influence of soul gold on people, and it can also enhance the strength of people's souls in a small amount. Sir, you should also We know that when the soul is strong, the ability to control soul energy will be enhanced, and the possibility of turning into a monster will be reduced. In addition, the medicine we have configured has a suppressive effect, so basically the labor will have no impact. But let us Unexpectedly, although the first generation of conscripted laborers did not change at all under the double protection, a high proportion of deformities appeared in their descendants. Some of them had horns on their heads when they were born, and some had long hairs on some areas of their bodies. scales, in short, three or four out of ten children have some abnormalities. By the third generation, the problems are even greater. Many children have mutations all over their bodies as soon as they are born. Some children are fine at first, but after a few months Various changes began to occur. For example, a child looked normal at first, but only half a year after his birth, he grew to the size of a normal child in his teens, and became extremely powerful. After that, all kinds of 'chaotic' abilities also appeared. This is why the monarch took away all the children of the third generation. In fact, those children were carefully supervised afterward, and those with problems would be killed immediately. Our country later produced several generals who were enemies of thousands of people. , are actually selected from these children. On the surface, they have not changed, but in fact they are extremely powerful and invulnerable, so they can fight so well."

"I didn't expect that there are so many secrets in the Tomb of Seven Heroes!" As I was talking, my expression suddenly changed. "Wait, that's not right."

"What's wrong?" The Imperial Master was startled by me. In his opinion, I am already a very strong person, but my face suddenly turned livid just now. Even I was so frightened. How could he not be nervous? "Sir, what on earth did you think of? Are you so scared?"
