The end of the world: mountain and sea disasters - #196 - Chapter 196 Recasting the Qingming Mask

The process of activating the Gluttonous Claw Hammer went smoothly.

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

Therefore, knowing that Yu Ke wanted to recast the equipment, the Disaster Prevention Bureau did not hesitate to provide a large amount of rare ores, which was another way of compensation.

In the transparent box, a little monster with horns kept swallowing the ore thrown in.

Yu Ke took the soul beads and fear crystals that sealed the resentful souls of the dragon-headed zombies, turned to the accompanying researcher and asked,

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

The characteristic of checking for leaks and filling gaps made Yu Ke realize that the Qing Ming Mask not only looks similar to the Red Ghost Mask, but there is a high probability that there is some kind of connection between the two. The problem is that the strange monster inhabiting the Qing Ming Mask escaped long after it was damaged, so that Its capabilities are greatly reduced.

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

The Strange Asylum specially sent a researcher to accompany the team in order to explain to Yu Ke the ability of the Gluttonous Claw Hammer to avoid accidents. Faced with the latter’s questions, he quickly gave answers.

“We have conducted experiments in this area, and the conclusion is that as long as the ore is swallowed by the Greedy Claw Hammer, there is a certain probability that its properties will appear inside the recast equipment, and the two things in your hand are obviously not called ores.”

“Can’t do it?”

“My suggestion is to try to place them on top of the mask during the recasting process. There have been cases of active fusion of surrounding materials during equipment recasting before, but the chance is very small and it may lead to some emergencies. “

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

Strange contained objects are inherently supernatural beings, and no one knows what consequences will result from actions that violate the rules.

“Try it, you go farther away.”

These two things were of no use in his hands. He finally found a matching object. Yu Ke didn’t want to miss it, so he waved his hand to signal Anseli and others to retreat to the side. He stepped forward alone and took out the small claw hammer that had been transformed into a claw hammer from the box. monster.

Holding a hammer in one hand, the other hand used a mask to hold soul beads and fear crystals.

Yu Ke swung the claw hammer and struck the center of the mask. His eyes immediately locked on the mask and paid attention to its changes.

The situation at first was no different from last time.

Under the blow of the gluttonous claw hammer, the cracks on the surface of Qingming’s mask were healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

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

Yu Ke’s eyes widened when he noticed something strange, and he hurriedly got 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, both sides of the cheeks, and finally gathered between the eyebrows, turning into a dark purple vertical pupil.

Only the soul orb of the dragon-headed zombie remained silent and remained on the mask until the recasting was completed.

Half the battle?

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

Compared to fear crystals, he actually hopes that the soul beads can be integrated into the mask.

After all, the main reason why the Qingming Mask’s ability is greatly reduced is that the ghosts that reside in it disappear.

If ghosts could be repopulated into it, perhaps its original abilities could be restored.

“It seems like it’s only half successful?”

Seeing the end of recasting, Axelius stepped forward and asked.

“Well, it’s an unexpected surprise to be able to successfully integrate one.”

Shrugging his shoulders, Yu Ke calmed down his disappointed emotions, took the soul bead back to the mark, and told himself that this was a situation that had a very small chance of happening, and that he should be happy instead of complaining that it was not perfect.

“The mask’s appearance has changed a lot. Does it have any new abilities?”

Ansaili couldn’t help but ask as he looked at the mask in Yu Ke’s hand that had changed appearance.

At this time, the information on the Qingming Mask that had been checked for leaks and filled in was updated. The characteristics of the repaired and enhanced mask had also changed, and it was obviously more than one level better than the previous incomplete state.

[Qingming Mask]: A bronze mask that once housed terrifying ghosts. The injection of fear energy gave it the ability to create terrifying illusions, but its ability was greatly reduced because the ghosts escaped.

“It’s not clear yet. I’ll have to find a chance to try later.”

Yu Ke did not reveal the information about checking for leaks and filling in the gaps. He planned to go to Jinghu Forest to test it later and learn more about it before talking about it.

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

This half-sentence appeared at the end, instead of being placed behind the ‘Bronze Mask’ as before, making Yu Ke suspect that the newly added ability to create terrifying illusions was not all part of the recasting of the Gluttonous Claw Hammer.

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

After recasting, the gluttonous claw hammer fell into a deep sleep and was carried back to the cabin by two strange shelter personnel. The researcher also returned to the transport plane after a brief goodbye.

“What are you going to do in the next period of time? Go to the transit station to rest or stay in Jinghu Forest to exercise?”

Ansaili glanced 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 I have nothing else to do, I might go back and forth between the two places. When you have time, we can go to the wilderness bar at the transit station. That place is quite interesting, the food is delicious, and there is a live broadcast of the Monster Contest.”

Having just returned from Shanqing City, Yu Ke wanted to take a break and consolidate his strength.

“Okay, we’ll contact you then. By the way, I’ve given your contact information to Fang Zhenshou. If there is anything going on with the investigation of the fog in the mountains, he will contact you as soon as possible. Pay attention to your phone.”

Axelius turned around and walked towards the transport plane, stopping halfway to remind him.

When it comes to the secrets in the mountain ruins, even Ansaili’s level cannot be checked, and Fang Zhengshou can only communicate with Yu Ke.

“Don’t worry, if I find anything important, I will go there.”

Yu Ke was not very interested in the mist, but if it involved the bronze tripod that suppressed the “Mountain of Corpses and Sea of ​​Blood”, he couldn’t ignore it.

The murals in the temple’s underground palace revealed to him the disasters that had occurred in ancient times. The bronze tripod was a crucial existence. No matter how much Yu Ke wanted to fish, he would not sit back and watch the “mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood” repeat itself in the Beijing-Hangzhou area. .

He didn’t want the new camp to fall into ruins again as soon as it was built.

Watching Ansaili leave on the transport plane, Yu Ke stayed at the camp for another ten minutes. After chatting with Lin Zhenye about the layout of each room, he left and headed to the nearby forest to look for the herd of horned deer.

It’s been a long time since I’ve seen the Jinghorn Deer King, so Yu Ke brought him some spiritual fruits picked from the secret area of ​​the cave.

When he arrived at the place, he discovered that the terrifying-antlered deer that had originally become his mount had actually completed evolution. Not only had the hair on its body turned gray, but even its antlers had begun to move closer to the terrifying-antlered deer king. As he walked, he could vaguely feel the spirit surrounding him. force.

The ability to evolve so quickly obviously depends not only on its talent, but also on the feeding of spiritual fruits and the massage containing natural energy.

As soon as it saw Yu Ke, the frightened deer darted up to him, lowered his head and rubbed Yu Ke’s cheek to express his gratitude.

“I’m growing up very fast. If I have any activities in the forest in the future, I’ll have to rely on you to drive me. When the new camp is built, I’ll leave a special shed for you and keep it like a five-star hotel.”

After patting the frightened deer and letting it play with the wind chimes, Yu Ke said hello to the deer king again.

The Jinghorn Deer King tilted his head and looked 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.

In the past, it was just an increase in strength, but now it conveys another extremely dangerous aura.

If he hadn’t known and fought alongside him a long time ago, the Jinghorn Deer King would have led his tribe away from Yu Ke, even if he had to change his territory to do so.

Fortunately, they are friends, and the deer can be protected if they stay here.

Yu Ke didn’t stay with the deer for too long. He walked alone to the open space where he used to exercise. Just as he was thinking about trying out the ability of the recast Qingming Mask, his cell phone rang first.

From Ye Yingtong.

Yu Ke had previously sent her a photo of Qing Ming’s mask, hoping to get more information about the mask. It turned out that the latter was working on archeology at the ruins and had just finished his work now. He hurriedly replied after seeing Yu Ke’s message.

“How did you find this mask?”

“Is it in your hand?”

“Why did it crack?”

A series of information 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 seemed that the red ghost face had left quite a shadow on her.
