Chapter 196 Reforging the Qingming Mask

The process of activating the gluttonous goat horn hammer went smoothly.

Regardless of Yu Ke's achievements in Shanqing City, the Disaster Prevention Bureau gained a lot from the secret cave alone.

Therefore, when the Disaster Prevention Bureau learned that Yu Ke wanted to recast his equipment, it provided a large amount of rare ores without hesitation, which was another form of compensation.

In the transparent box, the little monster with goat horns kept swallowing the ores thrown in.

Yu Ke took the soul bead and the fear crystal that sealed the dragon-headed zombie's resentful soul, turned to the researcher who came with him and asked,

"I want to integrate these two things into the mask through recasting. Is it possible?"

The feature of checking for omissions and filling gaps made Yu Ke realize that the Qingming mask not only looks like the Chigui mask, but there is a high probability that there is some connection between the two. The problem is that the strange monster that resides in the Qingming mask escaped after it was damaged, greatly reducing its ability.

What Yu Ke wants to do now is to use it as a carrier and recast it into a new strange containment object.

The Strange Shelter specially sent a researcher to accompany the team in order to explain the ability of the Gluttonous Claw Hammer to Yu Ke to avoid accidents. In response to the latter's questions, they quickly gave answers,

"We have conducted experiments in this regard, and the conclusion is that as long as the ore is swallowed by the Gluttonous Claw Hammer, its characteristics have a certain probability of appearing inside the recast equipment, and the two things in your hand are obviously not ores."

"Can't do it?"

"My suggestion is to try to place them above the mask during the recasting process. There have been cases of active fusion of surrounding materials during the recasting of equipment before, but the probability is very small and may cause some emergencies."

The researcher looked at the soul beads and fear crystals in Yu Ke's hand. Even if he didn't know where they came from, he could guess that none of them were ordinary. He could only give the choice to Yu Ke and let him make his own decision.

Strange shelters are supernatural beings. No one knows what consequences will be caused by actions that violate the rules.

"Try it. Go away."

These two things are useless in hand. It was not easy to find a matching object. Yu Ke did not want to miss it, so he waved his hand to signal Anseli and others to retreat to the side, and went forward alone to take out the little monster that had been transformed into a claw hammer from the box.

Holding the hammer in one hand, and holding the soul bead and the fear crystal in the other hand with the mask.

Yu Ke swung the claw hammer and hit the center of the mask, and then locked his eyes on the mask and paid attention to its changes.

The situation at first was no different from the last time.

Under the knocking of the greedy claw hammer, the cracks on the surface of the Qingming mask closed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Until the cracks under the fear crystal began to repair, perhaps the ability of the claw hammer touched the surface of the crystal, and the crystal that condensed the fear emotions of millions or even tens of millions of people seemed to melt, turning into a fluid and merging into the mask.

Yu Ke, who noticed the abnormality, suddenly widened his eyes and hurriedly moved closer to take a closer look.

The highly concentrated fear energy first seeped into the mask, and then outlined purple-black lines on the surface of the mask, from the eye sockets to the bridge of the nose, the sides of the cheeks, and finally gathered at the center of the eyebrows, turning into a dark purple vertical pupil.

Only the soul bead of the dragon-headed zombie remained motionless, and remained on the mask until the recast was completed.

Half successful?

Yu Ke looked at the particularly weird mask in his hand, somewhat disappointed.

Compared to the fear crystal, he actually hoped that the soul bead could be integrated into the mask.

After all, the main reason why the Qingming mask's ability was greatly reduced was that the ghosts living in it disappeared.

If the ghosts could be refilled into it, maybe its original ability could be restored.

"It seems to be only half successful?"

Seeing that the recast was completed, Ansai Li walked up and asked.

"Well, being able to successfully integrate one is a pleasant surprise."

Shrugging his shoulders, Yu Ke suppressed his lost emotions, took back the soul bead and marked it, telling himself that this was a situation with a very small probability, and he should be happy instead of complaining about not being perfect.

"The appearance of the mask has changed a lot, is there any new ability?"

An Sai Li looked at the mask in Yu Ke's hand, which had changed greatly in appearance, and couldn't help asking.

Just at this time, the information of the Qingming Mask was updated by the leak-filling, and the characteristics of the repaired and enhanced mask also changed. It was obviously more than one level stronger than the previous incomplete state.

[Qingming Mask]: A bronze mask that once hosted a terrifying ghost. The injection of fear energy gave it the ability to create a terrifying illusion, and its ability was greatly reduced because the ghost escaped.

"It's not clear yet. I have to find an opportunity to try it later."

Yu Ke did not reveal the information of the leak-filling, and planned to go to the Jinghu Forest for testing later, and then talk about it after further understanding.

What concerned him more was the last half sentence in the description of the Qingming Mask.

This half sentence appeared at the end, instead of being placed behind the "Bronze Mask" as before, which made Yu Ke suspect that the newly added ability to create a terrifying illusion was still not all that the Greedy Sheep Horn Hammer had recast.

The ghost, or the loss of the mask's core, made it difficult for it to exert its full capabilities, and the situation did not improve even after it was repaired.

After the recast, the gluttonous claw hammer fell into a deep sleep. Two staff members of the Strange Shelter carried it back to the cabin. The researcher also returned to the transport plane after a brief farewell.

"What are you going to do in the next period of time? Go to the transfer station to rest or stay in the Mirror Lake Forest to exercise?"

An Saili looked at the new camp not far away and said with some surprise,

"The progress is much faster than expected. At this speed, it will be completed in more than a month?"

"If there is nothing to do, I may go back and forth between the two places. When you are free, we can go to the wilderness bar at the transfer station together. That place is quite interesting, the food is delicious, and there is a live broadcast of the Monster Tournament."

Just returned from Shanqing City, Yu Ke wanted to rest for a while and consolidate his own strength.

"Okay, contact me then. By the way, I have given your contact information to Fang Zhenshou. If there is any situation in the investigation of the mist in the mountains, he will contact you as soon as possible. Pay attention to your phone."

An Saili turned and walked towards the transport plane, and stopped halfway to remind him.

As for the secrets in the ruins of the mountains, even An Saili's level could not be checked, and only Fang Zhenshou could communicate with Yu Ke.

"Don't worry, if there is any important discovery, I will go there."

Yu Ke was not very interested in the fog, but if it involved the bronze tripod that suppressed the "mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood", he could not ignore it.

The murals in the underground palace of the temple revealed to him the disaster that had broken out in ancient times. The bronze tripod was a crucial existence. No matter how much Yu Ke wanted to fish, he would not sit idly by and watch the "mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood" repeat in the Beijing-Hangzhou area.

He didn't want the new camp to become a ruin again just after it was built.

After watching An Saili leave on the transport plane, Yu Ke stayed in the camp for more than ten minutes. After chatting with Lin Zhenye about the layout of each room, he left and went to the nearby forest to look for the herd of frightened deer.

It has been a long time since I saw the frightened deer king, and Yu Ke brought it some spiritual fruits picked in the secret realm of the cave.

When he arrived at the place, he found that the frightened deer that had become his mount had actually completed its evolution. Not only did its hair turn gray, but even its horns began to move closer to the frightened deer king. As he walked, he could vaguely feel the spiritual power surrounding it.

It was obviously not only its talent that allowed it to evolve so quickly, but also the feeding of spiritual fruits and the massage containing natural energy.

As soon as it saw Yu Ke, the frightened deer ran up to him and rubbed his cheek with his head down to show his gratitude.

"You are growing very fast. If there are any activities in the forest in the future, I will have to rely on you to carry me. When the new camp is built, I will reserve a shed for you. It will be kept like a five-star hotel."

After patting the frightened deer and letting it go to the side to play with Feng Ling, Yu Ke greeted the deer king again.

The frightened deer king tilted his head to look at Yu Ke, his eyes full of confusion. He didn't understand why the aura of the man in front of him changed every once in a while.

Before, it was just a strength enhancement, but now it conveys another extremely dangerous aura

If they had not known each other for a long time and fought side by side, the Shocked Horned Deer King would have taken his tribe away from Yu Ke, even if it meant exchanging a piece of territory for this.

Fortunately, they are friends, and the deer herd can be protected by staying here.

Yu Ke did not stay with the deer herd for too long, and walked alone to the open space where he had trained before. Just as he was thinking about trying the ability of the recast Qingming Mask, his mobile phone sounded a reminder sound first.

It came from Ye Yingtong.

Before, Yu Ke sent her a photo of the Qingming Mask, wanting to get more information about the mask, but the latter was in the ruins archaeology, and now he should have just finished work. After seeing Yu Ke's message, he hurriedly replied.

"How did you find this mask?"

"Is it in your hands?"

"Why is it cracked?"

A series of messages appeared on the screen, and Yu Ke couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. He could feel Ye Yingtong's anxiety through the screen.

It seems that the Red Ghost Mask has left a big shadow on her.
