The Dark King Chapter 948: Flaming Soul Crystal

Chapter 948: Flaming Soul Crystal

“I guess so.”Dudian didn’t deny it. He had noticed that the fire dragon seemed to be the mastermind behind the attack on the god of war’s wall, he firmly believed that the fire dragon’s intelligence wasn’t inferior to that of humans!
However, how could there be such a powerful race on Earth in just 300 years?
Could it be the alien race that was left on earth?
If the fire dragon alien race was an alien race, then what was the troll alien race? And what was the “God”of the Aragami?
Dudian felt that these alien races should not be on the same level as the Aragami. Although he had never seen the power of the Aragami, but after he controlled Sylvia he had seen a lot of descriptions from the classical materials, the power of the Aragami was beyond the Abyss and was regarded as a ‘god’!
An Aragami’s corpse hidden in the wall could deter extremely dangerous things. This was something that the alien races could never do.
“Since there are undeads here, do you think there will be people living here?”Jason’s eyes looked at dudian.
“Maybe. If we can find a future generation of undeads then we can prove whether there are survivors here or not.”Dudian didn’t raise his head but used his hands to pinch the arm, shoulder and other parts of the undeads, he felt the hardness of the bones. They had evolved to be more powerful. He estimated that they had the combat strength of pioneer level. If there were no parasitic soul worms then maybe they would become king undeads.
“How do you know that she is an undead from the previous era?”Jason looked at him curiously. He felt that Dudian seemed to know a lot of things that he didn’t know. This was the reason why he remained humble.
“This dress is from the previous era.”Dudian didn’t hide it. It wasn’t a secret.
“Do you recognize the clothes from the previous era?”Jason was surprised. He thought that Dudian had used some other method to distinguish it.
“Haven’t you studied history?”Dudian glanced at him, “There is always a benefit to reading more.”
Jason smiled, “I don’t have time to read. I have time to think about how to hunt monsters. No matter how much I read, when I fight with monsters, I still have to rely on my fists!”
“That’s because your vision is not long enough.”
Jason was speechless but he felt that what Dudian said made sense. At least everything they did now needed to rely on Dudian’s knowledge. Even if they were from the abyss.., they didn’t understand the knowledge of smelting iron ore that an ordinary civilian could grasp. Although violence was the most direct way to solve problems, there were many problems that violence couldn’t solve.
“If we meet other undeads and they don’t have clothes on, how can we distinguish them?”Jason asked modestly. This was a very critical problem. Only a few undeads had clothes covering their bodies, most undeads had long been in years of combat and jungle life. They would wear off their clothes and rely on their tough skin to resist external attacks like beasts.
“It depends on the feeling.”Dudian interrupted.
”…”
Jason was silent for a moment. He suddenly thought of something. He grabbed the head of the female undeads and handed it to dudian: “Take a look. What is in its head?”
“Cold crystal?”
“Cold crystal? Are you talking about the Soul Crystal?”
“Yes.”
“Look at the soul crystal in its head.”Jason said in a mysterious manner.
Dudian’s heart was moved as he saw Jason’s appearance. His nails were slightly protruding. The color of his transparent calcareous nails suddenly turned black like a sharp dagger. He cut the head open, a large amount of red jam-like substance flowed out of the head. It emitted a strong fishy smell and was like magma. It was boiling hot. When it dripped onto Dudian’s palm, it felt as hot as boiling water!
Dudian frowned as he shook off the blood from his palm. He picked up the hair on his head and shook it. The blood flowed out of the cut and fell on the weeds, it seemed to be corroded.
Patter!
A blood red crystal fell down from his head along with the blood. The water in the blood was evaporated by the rose-like blood red crystal.
“Soul Crystal?”Dudian’s pupils shrank.
The diamond-shaped surface and size of the blood-red crystal was exactly the same as the cold crystal he had seen!
However, the color of the two crystals was very different. The cold crystal was transparent and had a touch of light blue. However, this one was completely blood-red and was as hot as a flame.
“This soul crystal is completely different from the ones we have seen before. The soul crystals we have seen are as cold as ice. But this one is as hot as fire. Do you think the soul crystals in the heads of other undeads are the same?”Jason’s eyes moved away from the blood-red crystal, he stared at Dudian.
Dudian was in a daze as if he didn’t hear Jason’s words. After a long time he slowly recovered. He saw that the temperature of the blood flowing from the ground had gradually decreased. It was not as hot as before but it was gradually returning to normal temperature, this phenomenon was the same as when he took out the cold crystal from the head of the undeads. When there was no soul crystal, the body and brain tissues of the undeads would gradually return to normal temperature.
“One ice, one fire…”Dudian’s mind was in a mess. He faintly felt that he had grasped some clues that led to the unknown and the most mysterious secret.
Jason saw that Dudian was at a loss and finally felt that they were equal. He bitterly smiled in his heart. Suddenly he had an idea and asked: “What do you think will happen if we absorb this thing?”
“Absorb?”Dudian was silent for a moment: “I don’t know, but I think we will die miserably.”
Jason sighed: “That’s true. One is extremely cold and the other is extremely hot. The body will definitely not be able to endure the two extreme energies. But do you think we have a country here?”
Dudian knew what he meant. When he saw the red soul crystals, his mind sketched out a brand new world map. There were cold crystal undeads in the territory of God’s kingdom. There might be new countries outside the border, there might be soul crystals of fire. There might be other energy-type soul crystals in other places. Perhaps each energy-type soul crystal was controlled by a country!
If that was the case, then the size of the human forces in the post-disaster world was beyond his imagination!
Originally in his imagination, the post-disaster human forces were curled up in a corner of the world. At first he thought that the giant wall was the gathering place of the last survivors in the world. Later he found out about the empire. But now he suddenly found out that.., there might be other countries outside!
He didn’t know if his guess was correct. But the flame soul crystal and the Fire Dragon’s alien race really made his imagination run wild.
“It would be good if I could see the whole picture of the world at a glance…”Dudian sighed in his heart. It was like walking in the endless darkness. Although it was exciting, but there was also some fatigue.
“If I find other undeads, I will bring them back for you to identify.”Jason saw that Dudian had nothing to say. He didn’t waste any more time. He stood up and went back to the forest.
Dudian picked up the flame soul crystal from the blood. The temperature of the soul crystal was not as strong as before. He suddenly thought of something. He raised the Soul Crystal and looked at the Sun, the color of the soul crystal was getting more and more beautiful. But in the depths of the blood red soul crystal there seemed to be a shadow. It was like a small worm that was bent and fixed inside.
“Sure enough…”Dudian’s eyes flashed. He thought for a moment and used the cleaver to cut the soul crystal.
The hardness of the soul crystal was extremely high. It was comparable to a diamond. But the sharpness of the cleaver was even greater. It was cut in half by the friction saw. The blood like mucus was flowing out, there was an ant-sized worm in the mucus. It seemed to be dead. It was motionless as the blood-red mucus flowed out.
Dudian used his fingernails to pick it up. He looked at it. It was a very small worm. There was nothing special about it.
He repeatedly observed it but couldn’t find anything unusual. He had to give up.
“There might be such a little bug in other soul crystals. But how could it be dead? Is it because I saw the soul crystal? Or… is it just an embryo?” Dudian suddenly felt a chill down his spine.
Why were these undeads born?
If the virus that infected them was deliberately created, then what was the purpose?
Dudian was immersed in his thoughts for a long time. It wasn’t until Zach called him for the third time that he came back to his senses. The temperature of the furnace was enough. The iron ore inside had shown signs of melting.
Dudian immediately put away his thoughts and jumped to the underground furnace. He checked the degree of smelting of iron ore. Then he prepared the stone pot, stone hammer and other tools to forge the first iron.
Dudian didn’t have high requirements for the first iron. It would be enough if the purity of the iron could reach the level of a farmer’s hoe. By then he would be able to greatly improve the purity of the subsequent iron.
Time flew by and three days passed in the blink of an eye.
The underground furnace was constantly burning. A complete set of large iron tools and several sets of iron models had been smelted. The progress was very fast.
In the past three days, Jason had brought back six undeads while he was collecting firewood. All of them were naked and their bodies were mutated. Some of the undeads were hard to identify as ‘human’. Sharp bone spikes protruded from their bodies, there were bulging teeth and monster-like hair. Some of them even had seven or eight eyeballs on their faces. It was very frightening.
Even Dudian couldn’t identify whether the undeads were from the upper epoch or survivors of the disaster.
The soul crystals that were cut out from the head of the undeads were all red soul crystals.
Dudian caught two small monsters on the plain in his spare time. He used surgery to embed the soul crystals into their bodies. Through experiments, Dudian found that there was no effect if the soul crystals were directly embedded into the bodies of the monsters, on the contrary, the embedded parts would gradually rot, die and grow malignant tumors.
So he put the dead unknown insect into the body of the small monster. It didn’t take long before the body of the small monster changed and its physique greatly improved.
When Dudian killed the small monster, he found that the ordinary small monster had turned into a named monster. There were parasitic soul worms in its body!
This shocking discovery surprised Dudian. He didn’t expect that the small thing in the soul crystal was actually the larva of the parasitic soul worm!
He suddenly thought of the records in the Atlas of the Empire. He felt cold all over his body. It was obvious that the Kingdom of God had long grasped this secret. The monsters with magic marks were known as ‘named monsters’. Why were they called ‘Named Monsters’? The ‘named monsters’seemed to tell the reason.
Maybe these monsters were created by the experiments of the Kingdom of God. They were given new lives and new names.
Why did God’s kingdom create these monsters?
Was it just to use these things to nurture magic marks warriors?
Dudian thought of the Silvia’s witcher family. They were the fighters before the era of magic marks warriors. They used the bodies of monsters to create half-human and half-demon monsters! However, this experiment gradually came to an end. It retired from the stage of history. It was replaced by the glorious and more popular magic marks warrior evolution method!
The current Abyss and even the Lord of the Abyss were all relying on magic marks!
But what about the king above the abyss?
Dudian suddenly felt a bit confused. He didn’t know if the end of his method of using magic marks to evolve would be just to become the Lord of the Abyss!
Would this be a wrong path?
He felt that his thoughts were very messy. There were too many things that he didn’t understand. So many of his conjectures were very likely to be wrong or there were other explanations.
He slowly gave up on the speculation and continued to invest in industrial manufacturing.
The purification of iron ore was very smooth. Many copper ores were also refined and made into brass and copper wire. Copper wire was the main material of electrical wires.
On the seventh day when everything was going smoothly, an accident suddenly happened.
In the early morning, Zaite was searching for ore underground. Jason was collecting firewood. Dudian forged the iron into utensils. As they were busy, a figure suddenly came from the end of the plain.
It was a human figure.
Dudian was stunned as he looked up.
He had never thought that he would see other humans on this plain — unless it was the pursuers of the border guards.
But there was a real human standing in front of him. It was a girl who was about fourteen or fifteen years old. She was wearing a primitive linen dress but her skin was white. She had bright eyes and white teeth. She looked very clean and beautiful.
Her hair was tied into a ponytail. She looked lively and cute. At the moment she was also surprised as she looked at Dudian and the other two.
“You, you…”the girl looked at Dudian and the other two.
Dudian was startled as he heard her words. He didn’t expect that he would be able to hear her. He didn’t expect that she would speak the common language of the giant wall. Did she come from the god of War? !
Jason and Zach rushed to Dudian’s side. They were stunned as they looked at the girl.
