Chapter 34: Once again a nouveau riche
Chapter 34: Become a nouveau riche again
"Well, it seems that we are really destined to be!" The moment he saw He Taiping, Derens was slightly stunned at first, then gently shook his jaw and laughed loudly. Hundreds of skeleton warriors surrounded the entire jungle without waiting for him to give orders, so that the man would have another chance to escape.
"Forget it, I'm not interested in fate with men!" Since I knew I couldn't escape, He Taiping simply sat cross-legged and said lightly as if nothing had happened. After a few seconds, he suddenly patted his forehead and said with a sudden realization: "By the way, I almost forgot that skeletons have no gender! Then before you become skeletons, are they men or women..."
Before his mockery could be dropped, the white bone cage that emerged from the ground had tightened him firmly to the spot. Several white bone arms pinched his throat, making it difficult for him to breathe, let alone speak. Derence sighed and waved his hand, and hundreds of phosphorescent bone spears were formed in an instant: "Actually, you could have survived, as long as you obey me!"
"No interest, I will only bow down under the beautiful woman's pomegranate skirt!" He Taiping struggled to break free from a bone arm, gasped and uttered his last sentence. Immediately afterwards, he could only watch the front, watching the green bone spears flying towards, and then...
But at this moment, a shining white light suddenly burst out from the forest! The woman wielding her wings shot out quickly. The sacred fighting spirit sprinkled by the lightsaber was as if it were substantial, easily shattering the bone spear and the white bone cage. Angel caught the man who fell to the ground and gently held him in his arms, and at the same time inputted a surging sacred power. Under this treatment, the already green body gradually recovered, and He Taiping could even open his eyes and barely see the blurred figure in front of him.
"Angel...or should you call you another name?" Even though he was in a state of vague mentality, He Taiping still felt from the magic that he vented, that the other party was not his maid, but another "Angel" who rescued himself from the magic amplification array that day.
"You are very smart! But why would you be defeated by a slave?" Angel, whose eyes flashed blue light, smiled slightly, and looked up at the undead monarch opposite, "If I hadn't been freed from the soul seal state by damaging my magic power, I'm afraid you would have become the first ancient summoner to die under the slave's hands!"
"Slave?" He Taiping looked at the undead monarch opposite and murmured in confusion. The familiar feeling emerged from his heart again, but he still could not clearly capture it. Almost at the same time, Derence, who seemed to think of something, suddenly roared and raised his scepter high. The black hole suddenly unfolded beside him, and the two winged skeletons that had not appeared since the beginning of the battle finally appeared at this moment.
"Kill them, immediately!" Derence hissed and low, but the seemingly evil voice hid indescribable fear. The two winged skeletons immediately rushed to He Taiping who was kneeling on the ground without any hesitation. The bone dragon that had just defeated the Iron Bone Lizard Dragon also jumped up at the same time, spraying death breath crazy...
"It seems that you don't have a good memory fusion, so let me help you!" Angel smiled slightly, and the blue magic that spread from her left palm condensed into a crystal barrier in an instant, blocking all attacks. Immediately afterwards, the blue light emitted from her right palm had merged into He Taiping's body, and the mysterious symbol flashed again...
The scattered fragments of memory suddenly began to reorganize quickly at this moment. He Taiping's body was as stiff as a rock, but the excitement in his mind was like the sea of anger in a rainstorm. In just a few seconds, his soul received a sacred baptism. It was an indescribable feeling, as if the chaotic thoughts scattered in his body were cleverly combined to form a world he had never felt before. Countless pictures passed through his mind, strange and familiar - these pictures should be the experiences of the ancient summoner...
It seemed like a long time, and it seemed that only a short moment had passed. But when He Taiping opened his eyes again, what caught his eyes was the tired face of the woman. Looking at the young man shining with the light of wisdom in front of him, Angel gently pointed at the dumb monarch of the undead, and smiled: "Do you understand? Then, it's time to make him surrender!"
"No! Don't think about it!" Realizing that the situation was not good, Derens raised his scepter high while roaring, and thousands of bone teeth appeared out of thin air beside him, and could eject out at any time. The two winged skeletons retreated to him also rushed forward in an instant, completely ignoring the crystal barrier blocking in front of him, like a trapped beast struggling dyingly...
"Drence, do you think this is meaningful?" He Taiping smiled slightly and slowly stood up. Looking at the undead monarch who pretended to be crazy, he gently opened his right palm and slowly sang a spell that could not be distinguished.
While the spell was rippling in the jungle, the undead monarch suddenly stopped all his actions, lowered his arms like a puppet, standing in place dull. The bones and teeth he was exposed to slowly disappeared, and the two winged skeletons and hundreds of skeleton warriors also stopped at the same time, as if they had lost their ability to judge. At this moment, there was no movement in the entire open space except for He Taiping's chanting of unknown meaning...
A few minutes later, the chanting gradually disappeared and finally stopped completely. Angel nodded slowly, and while showing a relieved smile, he returned to the puppet state. He Taiping breathed a sigh of relief and walked slowly towards the undead monarch opposite him. His steps were so relaxed, as if he was not facing a strong enemy, but was invited to attend a dinner.
"Then, you will obey my orders, right!" Looking at Derence who was close to him, He Taiping rubbed his chin as if nothing had happened and asked faintly. At this moment, a faint blue light suddenly shone in his chest, like a sign of the start of the contract; and almost at the same time, Derence's chest also flashed with blue light, as if it had been sensed.
Immediately afterwards, the proud undead monarch finally knelt down slowly, and together with the hundreds of skeleton warriors beside him, hesitated to hang down the bones, and said hoarsely: "Affect your instructions, my master! From the day you created me and gave me life, I am destined to be your most loyal slave..."
"Very good, very good!" He Taiping patted his shoulder, and an unconcealed smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Within a few minutes when Angel helped him sort out the memory fragments, He Taiping suddenly learned that his inexplicable familiarity with the undead monarch actually came from...
Just like Angel, this undead monarch is obviously the work of the ancient summoner, but after the whim of passion, he was thrown away because he was not perfect enough. But even so, the contract bound to the soul of the undead monarch was not lifted, and as the soul of the ancient summoner was absorbed by He Taiping, these contracts were also inherited by He Taiping. In other words, the Derens in front of him is simply a copy of Angel, the kind of pie that falls from the sky.
"Can you say that you have been abstinent recently and your character suddenly exploded?" After the crisis, He Taiping immediately returned to his usual lazy state and began to think about it, "Meow, why don't those powerful creatures like dragons and Bemon bring contracts? Then can I walk sideways in this world?"
Having said that, he also knew that this was impossible - judging from the memory that the ancient summoner was absorbed by himself, creatures such as dragons and Bemon were not created by ancient mages, so of course they could not have any contract. But on the contrary, judging from the memory of the ancient summoner, it seems that races such as elves, dwarves, orcs...
"Damn it, I almost forgot the serious matter!" Just now thinking about this, He Taiping suddenly patted his forehead and jumped up suddenly. After delaying in this place for so long, the skeleton warriors might have chased Shanghai Lun and the others, and they were even massacred. If so, even if he showed up with a group of little brothers, he would probably have to sigh helplessly at the corpses all over the ground...
"Master, don't worry about this!" After the soul contract was re-effected, Derens had reached spiritual communication with He Taiping. At this time, he felt a vague concern. He immediately lowered his head and replied, "Just just now, I had sent spiritual instructions to the subordinates who were pursuing Helen City Lord, asking them to stop attacking and believe them..."
Before he finished speaking, his body suddenly trembled for several times, as if he felt some amazing change. A few seconds later, a green light suddenly shone in Derens's eyes, and he whispered: "Master, I have lost contact with several summoned skeleton mages. They seem to have been subjected to an unexpected attack - perhaps, maybe it was a counterattack from Helen City Lord?"
"Helen's counterattack?" He Taiping, who was originally worried, felt a little relieved when he heard this sentence. But before he let out a long breath, Drens trembled again and whispered: "Master, the situation is not right! My large number of summoning skeletons are dying quickly, which is definitely not something Helen and the others can do!"
