The knight in the abyss

Chapter 156 The Devil's Reward

"I'm very satisfied, hahahaha! I want to give you a reward!"

Lancelow was startled, just as he was about to refuse, a terrifying energy had already poured into his body.

"This little flame essence is enough for you to advance. Maybe one day you will become a Barlow. When that day comes, come to my throne, kneel to me and swear allegiance to me in the name of Styx, Wow ha ha ha ha!"

The flames rose to the maximum like an explosion, and then suddenly went out, along with the face of the demon lord.

Lancelot sat down directly, and immediately entered the state of cultivation.The energy pouring into his body was like a red-hot iron ball, rampaging through his body. If the demon stayed for a few more seconds, Lancelot's body would probably be completely destroyed by this energy.

All the zhenqi released outside was withdrawn into the body, tightly enveloping this magma-like energy.He guides this energy to carry out Zhoutian transportation non-stop, trying hard to eliminate the rage and annihilation contained in it.

During the process of his qi training, a large amount of energy penetrated into the muscles of the whole body from the meridians, and then was discharged from the body through the acupuncture points all over his body, causing the armor on his body to shatter like dry bark.Of course, the exhausted energy is wasted just like that, but it is obviously more worthwhile to let them continue to wreak havoc in the body, not to mention that Lancelow himself didn't want these energies in the first place.

At this time, his companions returned to the cave.Everyone also heard the sound from inside just now, but the terrible high temperature in the cave made it impossible for them to get close.Everyone was mentally prepared to find Lancelot burned to a pile of ashes, but seeing that the human knight was still alive, everyone cheered.

"Ha! You're fine, you must have the blood of the red dragon flowing in your body!" Brutal ran towards Lancelot excitedly, but halfway through, his beard suddenly burned.

The dwarf backed away with a yell, patted his beard back and forth in a panic with his hands.Fortunately, the flames were quickly extinguished and his beard still looked as ugly as ever.

"Uh, it's okay." Brutal held his beard carefully, inspected each beard carefully, and then looked at Lancelot suspiciously, "What's wrong with him? Why is he sitting naked?" on the ground?"

"This seems to be the kind of practice that Lancelot has." Karaline took two steps back, "Don't worry, I think he may need a while, and he doesn't want to be interrupted."

"Then let's wait." Brutal sniffed, "Oh my god, this smell of barbecue... Is that monster eliminated?"

The group threw Lancelow aside and went to check on the monster.Kara Lin's magic has begun to fail, and the ground is rising little by little, but the terrible mountain of corpses has been completely burned, not even the bones left.

"Did you hear that?" Karalin felt as if he heard some very ethereal whispers, and asked his companions.

"What?" The dwarf put his hands on his ears. "I didn't hear anything."

"How obvious is this sound." Ekmon chuckled, "But you living people may not be able to hear you clearly."

"That's the song when the soul leaves." Aramir's eyes glowed golden, "They are finally free, I can feel it, and my goddess is very happy about it."

"But I still don't understand why those zombies would attack the basement of the dry rose? That evil spirit doesn't seem to have any motive for doing so." Cora held her nose, and she turned back into that tiny halfling again.

"I have a theory." Karaline rubbed his chin. "The zombies who ran into Axmennon's basement were probably the guests who died inside the dry rose."

"You mean... when these zombies are out of control, they instinctively want to return to the place where they died?" Alamir thought for a while, "I've never heard of such a situation, but it should be this The reason. But why did they die in that tavern?"

"Only those corpses can know." Karaline shrugged. "It's a pity, they were all burned to ashes. Are you going to investigate this further?"

"...as long as that tiefling doesn't mix the beer with water, he's a good boss." Brutal made a face at Karaline, "As for safety in the tavern, I trust my own hammer more. "

"Very good, can your hammer take care of my safety now?" Karaline yawned, and took out a bundle of bedrolls from his backpack, "I have never cast so many spells at once before, if I can now It would be great to let me squint for a while... Lancelot is really warm right now, like a stove..."

"Me too, that kind of mutagen is quite a burden on the body." Cora also took out a bedroll of the same style, it seems that this is a gift for buying Howard's convenience bag, "I want to sleep for a while, just In a while..."

"Hey, you guys are really weak, you still need to strengthen your exercises." Brutal showed off his muscles proudly, "Go to sleep at ease, I hope Lancelot won't cool down too quickly."

What answered him was Karaline's grunt. The scholar had full trust in his partner, and he was really tired, and he fell asleep almost instantly.

"You all go to rest too." Brutal waved at the others, "I'll watch over you, don't worry."

And Lancelow, who is practicing, knows nothing about the outside world, but he also believes that his friends will protect his body.The 'reward' given by the devil seems to have its own ideas, and it is constantly trying to change Lancelot's body. If he could not suppress it with his high-level strength during the Qi training period, the human knight would have become something strange.

After repeated rounds of circulation and stripping away impurities, Lancelow finally transformed it into ordinary zhenqi, completely taming this violent energy.Although nearly [-]% of the abilities in this process were excreted by him, he still safely absorbed the unexpected 'reward' after all.

He cautiously continued to guide the circulation of true qi in his body, while collecting that energy into his dantian bit by bit.After repeating it dozens of times, all the true qi in the body was re-introduced into the dantian, completely integrated into one body.

As a high-level cultivation base in the Qi refining period, under normal circumstances, there should be true energy flowing in Lancelot's meridians in real time, just like rushing rivers.But at this moment, even his dantian was half empty, less than half was consumed during the previous battle, and the rest was used to absorb the 'reward'.

After confirming that his body had completely returned to normal, Lancelow slowly opened his closed eyes.

"Boss, are you awake?" Ekmon was the first to react, because he found that the spiritual connection with his master had been established again.

"Oh? Already ready?" Brutal's voice sounded behind Lancelot, "Kora also said that when you open your eyes, you will emit a scorching ray, which will burn a hole in my body or something. It's nonsense. Ahaha, I don't believe it at all!"
