81: Zhang Lianzhai shocked the Jiangnan base
The West.
The Temple Church... The High Priestess removed her blood-red robe, and her snow-white body stepped into the Temple's blood pool... When her head emerged again, the woman had transformed into Lawrence's appearance.
"Damn it!"
"That accursed Lin Mo, and these mortals of the West!"
"They gave me false intelligence!"
"Fortunately, I had a backup plan; otherwise, I would have truly died this time."
Lawrence felt a lingering fear.
The phantom pain of being slowly dehydrated to death inside the mummy coffin still lingered in his mind.
"Lord Saint! All one thousand of your Ghost Servants have betrayed you and surrendered to the Dragon Country."
His subordinate reported.
"What!?"
"Indeed, not a single Westerner can be relied upon; otherwise, they wouldn't have been defeated by the First Emperor back then..."
"However, fortunately, I also made another preparation. When everyone sleeps today, the bells of Yarnam City will ring again in this world!"
...Eleven o'clock in the morning.
Lin Mo exited the Great Wall Watch instance.
He got into Li Aiguo's Red Flag car.
"Those Western Ghost Servants never wanted to fight; they were all forced."
"They said they were forced to undergo Blood Healing, but this thing has too many side effects. They have nightmares all night long, often dreaming that their bodies are being cut up and made into plates of dishes..."
"Lawrence slowly savored them with red wine; that kind of pain was worse than death. Only by not accepting Blood Healing would these nightmares disappear.
Of course, the Ghost Servant realm would also regress accordingly."
The one thousand Ghost Servants who had just entered the instance had surrendered voluntarily after learning of Lawrence's demise.
After this battle,
the Dragon Country no longer had any rivals in this world.
Returning to the backup base,
Lin Mo had Jingjue Emperor take out three coffins.
Of these three, two belonged to Lawrence's vampires.
The other was Lawrence himself.
He took out the Tian Yuan Cauldron that Limitless True Person had given him.
He rubbed his hands.
He was filled with anticipation.
He wondered what good things could be refined from a Corporeal Liberation to Immortality realm corpse.
The key-chain-sized bronze cauldron suddenly expanded to the size of a millstone, and a bloody light surged from its mouth.
Lawrence's Vampire King body was sucked into the cauldron's great fire for cooking, like a cockroach drawn by a vacuum cleaner, its flesh tearing as it was pulled in... 30 seconds later.
The furnace lid exploded.
A blood-red light illuminated the entire room.
"Congratulations! You have obtained: Scarlet Gem."
"Scarlet Gem"
"Realm: Corporeal Liberation to Immortality"
"Wear Level: LV0"
"Item Description: Can be inlaid onto a weapon. Absorbs 10% of the enemy's Qi and blood for every enemy killed."
"Oh?"
This is good, a great item.
Now, in each battle, he kills hundreds, even tens of thousands of enemies.
Wouldn't that mean infinite health regeneration?
It's just that...
he currently held a Skeleton Scepter.
The weapon's level was still quite low in comparison.
Inlaying such a good gem into such a low-level weapon seemed somewhat uneconomical.
It felt like using a cannon to kill a mosquito.
As for the mourning staff, this item was even better, but it was an artifact. Could it be destroyed?
Let's talk about it later... Lin Mo dismissed the idea of immediately inlaying it.
"First, let's refine the second corpse."
He used the Tian Yuan Cauldron again.
"Tian Yuan Cauldron: Since the corpse you are refining exceeds the realm of ordinary mortals, the Tian Yuan Cauldron has activated synthesis mode."
"Synthesis Mode: Other materials can be added during refining to enhance the refining effect."
Hmm!?
It can be played this way?
The Grand Elder of Maoshan would probably cry himself to death if he knew.
Such a precious treasure, exchanged for a bowl of soup.
Tsk tsk tsk.
This time,
Lin Mo added compound no. 9 + Reincarnation Soup.
"Refine!"
Another 30 seconds passed... "Congratulations! You have obtained: Scarlet Blood Soup X5."
"Scarlet Blood Soup"
"Realm: Corporeal Liberation to Immortality"
"Item Description: A one-time consumable item that can be given to Ghost Servants. Provides a 5% lifesteal effect with each attack (Note: After consumption, it will induce a three-hour 'pleasure' side effect).".
This is also good.
Neither of these two refinements produced the attribute pill that Limitless True Person mentioned.
Perhaps after surpassing the mortal realm, the things refined and synthesized become even better.
Limitless True Person also didn't have the ability to discern these transcendent-realm items.
He could only sell fine jade as bricks to himself.
Now, only Lawrence's corpse remained.
Lin Mo became cautious.
The previous two corpse refinements were experimental.
Although the items refined were good, there was still one drawback.
That was, they hadn't fully achieved the explosive effect Lin Mo desired.
So this time,
Lin Mo also put in the first gem he had refined.
Since there was no good equipment to inlay it into,
he might as well gamble.
"Scarlet Gem" + "Skeleton King Scepter" + "compound no. 9" + "mourning staff"
"Lawrence, refine!"
When the five items were simultaneously thrown into the Tian Yuan Cauldron,
perhaps because both the Scarlet Gem and Lawrence's corpse were of the Ascension level, the flames of the Tian Yuan Cauldron became scorching hot, and the temperature rose by eight degrees.
Lin Mo quickly summoned the Five Great Corpse Kings.
Only they, being naturally yin and cold,
could suppress the temperature of the Tian Yuan Cauldron.
The five Ghost Servants: "Our Lord..."
"Come, come, drink the soup, drink the soup..."
Lin Mo used the Scarlet Blood Soup item.
"Nie Xiaoqian" gains a permanent lifesteal buff and now enters a 'pleasure' negative state for 360 minutes."
"Mingsha Emperor" gains a permanent lifesteal buff and now enters a 'pleasure' negative state for 360 minutes."
"Jingjue Emperor" gains a permanent lifesteal buff and now enters a 'pleasure' negative state for 360 minutes."
"Himiko" gains a permanent lifesteal buff and now enters a 'pleasure' negative state for 360 minutes."
"Zhan Hongchen" gains a permanent lifesteal buff and now enters a 'pleasure' negative state for 360 minutes."
"Our Lord, we are also very hot..."
Lin Mo: "..."
He was careless and forgot about the negative effects!
Just as Lin Mo was about to fall into the wolves' den,
the Tian Yuan Cauldron suddenly erupted, and a beam of blood-red light shot into the sky.
The hundreds of tons of steel pillars forming the roof of the entire Jiangnan Base were instantly blown off.
The base even sank by about two meters.
This blood-red light formed continuously spiraling blood-red clouds.
It spiraled and spread across the entire base, even covering the surrounding cities.
"What the heck, is there an enemy attack!?"
"The base exploded!!!"
"Who did this!?"
"Special forces, deploy! Find out who caused this blood-red light!"
The base commander was inspecting the 1,000 Ghost Servant captives being escorted.
Seeing the cloud suddenly erupt from the base, he was greatly startled.
The one thousand Ghost Servant captives simultaneously knelt down.
"How is this possible! Wasn't Lawrence already destroyed by Lin Mo?!"
"How can Lawrence's aura still be here! No, I'll have nightmares tonight!"
"Will I never be able to escape Lawrence's shadow in this life!? Help, someone help me!!!"
