I picked up skill fragments in the demon world

Chapter 68: Manipulating the Physical Body (Bonus chapter for Alliance Master Feng Junzi Haoran)

The dragon named 'Ying' that was buried underground years ago is actually the source of this Jiaolong transformation?

He knew that a dragon was buried in the underground palace, and combined with the images he had obtained from the tombstone, he knew that the fox spirit was definitely not deceiving him; what she said was absolutely true.

For some reason, he suddenly thought of the Feng Shui master who had come to the village!

"You don't believe me?" Seeing Zhang Chen standing there in a daze, the fox spirit thought he didn't believe her and immediately became anxious: "Dragons have disappeared from the world for thousands of years. Do you think dragons are just legends? You don't believe there are dragons buried underground at all?"

"I have proof!" Seeing that Zhang Chen was unmoved, the fox spirit finally became anxious, stomping her feet in anger: "Years ago, when my ancestor's tomb cracked open, he sneaked in and brought out a dragon tendon."

"Dragon tendon?" Zhang Chen was stunned when he heard this, his voice full of surprise.

"You wait!"

The fox spirit's soul disappeared from the spot, and soon reappeared from the tomb, holding a rope about three feet long, as thick as a little finger, and as crystal clear as crystal, appearing behind the barrier.

"This thing is a section of dragon tendon, something that nothing in the world can imitate or forge. I'll give you this dragon tendon as a sign of my sincerity," the fox spirit said, throwing the dragon tendon behind the barrier.

"Dragon tendon!"

Zhang Chen's eyes lit up, and he quickly stepped forward to grab the dragon tendon, then held it in his hand and looked at it.

It was very soft and elastic, no different from the straps used for slingshots in later generations, except that its elasticity and toughness were far superior.

"If this thing is used to make a slingshot, it's probably no worse than a crossbow," Zhang Chen stared at the dragon tendon in his hand, his eyes filled with joy. This was exactly what he needed now.

He had the material for the slingshot, and he didn't even need to wrap other objects around it to enhance the material's flexibility. At the same time, he was secretly sighing that the dragon had died for who knows how many years, but the dragon tendon had not decayed and still retained its flexibility, which showed that dragons were no ordinary creatures.

A three-foot-long dragon tendon was enough to make a slingshot.

He hadn't heard of any other uses for this thing.

"It seems that there is indeed a great fortune in that tomb, otherwise you wouldn't be so anxious, even offering up the dragon tendon," Zhang Chen said to the fox spirit.

Of course, he knew that there was good fortune in the ancient tomb. Not only was there a dragon inside, but also a goddess was buried there.

He was just flattering the fox spirit at this time, wanting to extract more information.

"How about it? Do you want to cooperate with me?" the fox spirit asked.

"Since there is such good fortune inside, why don't you take it? Why do you have to share it with me? You really have the heart of a Bodhisattva," Zhang Chen looked at the dragon tendon in his hand, casually trying to get information from the fox spirit.

"The golden light on your body can restrain a certain strange object in the ancient tomb. Only if we cooperate can we possibly take out the treasures inside," the fox spirit looked at Zhang Chen with a pair of eyes full of expectation.

"Treasures? What treasures are so important that you care so much?" Zhang Chen probed without showing any emotion.

"After the true dragon fell, it left behind a great fortune. You'll know when you go in," the fox spirit refused to elaborate.

"If it weren't for you, I would have dug open the tomb sooner or later and taken the true dragon's fortune from inside," Zhang Chen looked at the fox spirit with a hint of playfulness in his eyes.

"You're thinking too much. The tomb where the true dragon was buried is a complete mountain, with dozens of meters of rock inside. Without my ability to transform between reality and illusion, how would you get in? Rely on your chisel? Or rely on burning it with fire?" The fox spirit stared at Zhang Chen with a pair of eyes, looking at the Luoyang shovel Zhang Chen had thrown outside the cave, her eyes full of mockery.

"You're already having so much trouble digging through frozen soil. Even if you dig that stone to death, you won't be able to dig it open! You should know that even gods have their specializations. Gods are not omnipotent," the fox spirit said triumphantly.

Zhang Chen looked at the smug fox spirit, speechless for a moment. The so-called ability users in this world were called gods. Zhang Chen could only say that the gods were too low!

Too low!

Hearing the fox spirit's words, and combining them with the dream of the god who could change the world with a wave of his hand, Zhang Chen felt that the fox spirit's words were probably true. If that was the case, it would be really troublesome for him to dig open the tomb! How could he dig through dozens of meters of bluestone?

However, he would soon dig to the gate of the tomb, and then he should be able to know if there were other ways to enter the tomb.

However, it seemed that the fox spirit was now hiding in the cave, and even if he didn't agree, he couldn't do anything to her. He might as well agree to appease her!

"I'll trick her first, and when I dig to the gate of the tomb later, I'll settle accounts with the fox spirit," Zhang Chen quickly made a decision in his heart.

Since he couldn't do anything to the fox spirit, he might as well paralyze her, so that she wouldn't trip him up when he was digging.

It was only a matter of today, and he should be able to dig to the entrance of the tomb to verify its authenticity!

As for burning the fox spirit to death with fire, or smoking the fox spirit to death, Zhang Chen didn't think it was reliable. He knew how big the underground tomb was. The huge underground palace, dozens of miles in size, could not possibly be empty. There must be countless burial objects and mechanisms inside, and even underground rivers connecting to the outside world. It was impossible to fill the space inside with smoke.

He was now only one spark away from digging open the tomb.

"I'll talk about cooperation after I dig to the entrance of the tomb and verify its authenticity!" Zhang Chen replied perfunctorily: "If I can't dig open the entrance of the tomb, we'll talk about cooperation."

As he spoke, Zhang Chen collected the remaining firewood from yesterday and started a fire.

"Wait until you dig to the entrance of the tomb, and I'm afraid you'll ask me... Hey! What are you doing! We agreed to turn hostility into friendship, but you actually want to harm me?" Seeing Zhang Chen lighting firewood to make a fire, the fox spirit couldn't help but change color, her charming face full of suspicion, and shouted at Zhang Chen.

"What are you shouting for? I just want to use fire to melt the ice. Can the flames in the cave suffocate you?" Zhang Chen said unhappily: "If I don't melt the frozen soil, how can I dig the soil and enter the tomb to cooperate with you?"

Hearing Zhang Chen's words, the fox spirit didn't speak, which was considered tacitly agreeing to Zhang Chen's words, and looked at Zhang Chen lighting the fire with a pair of eyes, tentatively asking: "What was your explosion method just now? I didn't even have the slightest sense of it in advance?"

"How did you survive my explosion?" Zhang Chen asked instead of answering.

"The power of your explosion is very strong. Ordinary second- and third-level monsters with physical bodies, without special abilities, would have their skin peeled off even if they didn't die, because your method is silent when it occurs, and it's simply impossible to defend against. When the explosion occurred, I was seriously injured, but I still had the ability to use my methods, so I dragged the scholar into the ground. Unfortunately, the explosion shook the soil underground. I was already seriously injured at the time and couldn't withstand it in the soil. The shock wave shook me out of the soil, causing the scholar to lose a piece of his ear. I originally wanted to drill deeper into the earth, but unfortunately the explosion was too fast, and it was too late," the fox spirit looked at Zhang Chen with a pair of eyes, her gaze full of probing.

"That's my method, how can I tell you?" Zhang Chen said with a smile.

As for the levels that the fox spirit mentioned, first-level and second-level, they were probably similar to his skill levels and should correspond to each other.

"What level of demon are you?" Zhang Chen looked at the gradually burning flames and asked.

Hearing Zhang Chen's words, the fox demon didn't answer, but turned and walked towards the tomb: "Hurry up and dig, I'll wait for you in the tomb."

The fox spirit left, and Zhang Chen looked at the gradually burning flames in the tomb and quickly retreated from the tomb.

"It's a pity that I don't have the ability to burrow into the ground now, otherwise I could easily manipulate the fox spirit," Zhang Chen shook his head, wondering when he would be able to obtain the earth遁术 skill, which would make it much easier for him to do things.

Evening

Inside the underground tomb passage, the flames were gradually dying out.

Then Zhang Chen picked up the iron shovel and began to dig. He felt that even the usually impenetrable frozen earth was becoming somewhat soft under his hands. After an hour, the handle of the pickaxe vibrated slightly, and Zhang Chen's pupils shrank. His eyes were fixed on the bronze in front of him, and a look of joy appeared in his eyes: "Have I dug to the entrance of the tomb?"

He remembered that the entrance to the tomb was a bronze door.

"Really dug to the entrance?" Zhang Chen's eyes were full of excitement. He quickly swung the pickaxe and quickly dug away the loose soil. Before long, he had dug out a section of the bronze door about a meter in size.

In the lower left corner of the bronze door, there was a hole the size of a dog. Zhang Chen recognized that the hole was the passage for the fox spirit to enter and exit the tomb.

The bronze door was covered with frost, just like the frost hanging on the window cracks of old rural homes in winter.

But soon Zhang Chen's expression became serious. He concluded from observing the hole that the bronze door in front of him was probably fifty centimeters thick.

"Stop looking. This bronze door is ten meters high and fifty centimeters thick. It probably weighs hundreds of thousands of pounds. You'd be dreaming if you think you can dig it open!"

"You're digging too slowly." The girl's figure appeared behind the bronze door, her eyes fixed on Zhang Chen, with a hint of impatience in her voice.

"Didn't you say you wanted to cooperate with me? Why are you nagging here? Quickly open the door from the inside and let me in," Zhang Chen said unhappily.

"This bronze door is ten meters high and fifty centimeters thick. It probably weighs hundreds of thousands of pounds. Do you think I can open it?" the fox spirit said unhappily from the other side of the door.

If she had such magical powers, she would have smashed Zhang Chen to death long ago. Why would she wait until today?

"Then how do I get in?" Zhang Chen carefully checked the door. The fox spirit couldn't open such a heavy bronze door, and neither could he.

If he continued to dig, it would probably take him at least ten days to half a month to break through the stone. By then, it would be too late. It would be better to find an opportunity on the fox spirit's body now.

"Of course, I'll bring you in." The fox spirit said smugly from inside the tomb: "I told you, without me, you would never be able to enter this tomb. What is this bronze door? Behind it, there are dozens of meters of rock. That is the real obstacle that makes tomb robbers despair."

"Put away the golden light on your body and watch me use my magical powers to bring you in," the fox spirit said from inside the tomb.

"This fox spirit can actually use magical powers?" After hearing the fox spirit's words, Zhang Chen's heart suddenly moved, and his mind buzzed: "Damn it, this fox spirit tricked me into digging the tomb here before. Could it be that she is also severely injured now and is tricking me into entering the tomb to deal with that monster?"

After all, this fox spirit has a criminal record!

"The most important thing is, if the fox spirit has really recovered her vitality and has the ability to use magical powers, what's the point of me continuing to dig the tomb at this time?"

He was anxious to dig the tomb in order to go in and kill the fox spirit!

'But I have thought of another way now, if I can trick the fox spirit's body over...'

"If I cooperate with you, what if you deliberately trick me and use tricks to trap me in the bronze door? I wouldn't even know how I died," Zhang Chen pretended to look at the fox spirit with a hesitant expression.

The fox spirit was immediately exasperated when she heard this: "Boy, don't be rude. Do you think I, your ancestor, am like you, a despicable and shameless person? Besides, you and I still have to cooperate. I still need to use you to restrain a strange thing in the tomb. Why would I harm you? If you don't believe me, just try to open the bronze door yourself. I want to see how you open the bronze door that weighs hundreds of thousands of pounds."

"And don't think about changing direction and digging a tunnel to enter the tomb from another location. To tell you the truth, the entire tomb is surrounded by rock, which is dozens or hundreds of meters thick. If you have the ability to penetrate hundreds of meters of bluestone, then I have nothing to say." The fox spirit's voice was full of smugness, as if she had Zhang Chen in her grasp.

Zhang Chen stood in front of the tomb after hearing this, looked at the bronze door, and then used the lamp to get close to the hole where the fox entered and exited to check. Sure enough, the entire hole was fifty centimeters thick. The fox spirit did not lie.

"The bronze door is so thick, what about the other places?" Countless thoughts flashed through Zhang Chen's mind.

He wanted to dig out the entire bronze door to see what it looked like, maybe there was a way to open the door, but after estimating the thickness of the bronze door, he directly gave up this idea. A door must be at least two meters high, and estimating its thickness, it probably weighs thousands of pounds, which he could never move.

"If I enter the tomb, maybe I can find the mechanism to open the bronze door. Even if the fox spirit really wants to harm me and trap me inside, I still have a chance to open the mechanism of the bronze door and escape," Zhang Chen thought to himself.

"How is it? Are you going to cooperate? If you don't want to cooperate, then forget it, I'm not begging you." The fox fairy girl's voice was full of smugness, and she began to act high and mighty.

Hearing the fox spirit's words, Zhang Chen raised an eyebrow: "You fox spirit are too cunning. If you plot against me midway and trap me in the bronze door, or trap me in the bluestone, wouldn't I be dead?"

The fox spirit's words stopped when she heard this, and her eyes stared at Zhang Chen: "How did you think of such a sinister method? I didn't even think of it before."

Speaking of this, the fox spirit said unhappily: "You underestimate me too much. Even if I kill you, I will have to obtain the good fortune in the tomb before killing you. Now I will not hide it from you. There is a dragon soul in the tomb. If I can get it, not only can I recover from my injuries, but I can even directly achieve the realm of Manifestation. My body was severely damaged by you. Only by breaking through to Manifestation can I repair my body. I would never do something that would harm the enemy by a thousand and myself by eight hundred."

Zhang Chen looked at the fox spirit with his eyes, seemingly trying to discern the truth in the fox spirit's words.

"You have no choice now. Besides believing me, you have no other way to go." The fox spirit stood in the tomb and looked at Zhang Chen, her voice full of certainty: "There is a dragon buried here, and there is also a dragon's soul. I don't believe you are not tempted."

Zhang Chen stared at the fox spirit with his eyes. The two looked at each other for a moment before Zhang Chen said: "Give me your body and keep your body in my hands. I will use golden light to place a restriction on your body. If you dare to cheat, I will make your soul never return to your body."

It seemed that he had no other choice but to cooperate with the fox spirit.

The fox spirit's expression changed when she heard this, and she was about to open her mouth to refute, but she heard Zhang Chen say: "After I enter the tomb, I will return your body to you! If you have no tricks in your heart, I don't think you will object to my suggestion."

The fox spirit looked at Zhang Chen deeply when she heard this, and then said unhappily: "You are ruthless! But we have agreed that after entering the tomb, you must return my body to me, otherwise we will perish together."

"Of course, I, Zhang Chen, never go back on my word," Zhang Chen said.

The fox spirit walked out of the hole, and her figure gradually became larger, changing to be as big as Zhang Chen's shoulders. She walked out holding her own body and handed it to Zhang Chen.

Zhang Chen looked at the bloody fox body and wanted to activate the golden light to invade the fox spirit's body, but the fox spirit's body was still breathing instinctively, and it actually turned Zhang Chen's golden light into nothing.

"Sure enough, even if the soul leaves the body, it is still considered alive and cannot be blessed with golden light." Seeing this, Zhang Chen directly took off his clothes, blessed them with golden light, wrapped the fox spirit's body, and held it tightly in his arms.

"Is it okay now?" The fox spirit stared at Zhang Chen with her eyes.

Zhang Chen nodded when he heard this, and saw a slender hand reach out and grab Zhang Chen's shoulder, complaining unhappily: "Why haven't I seen you so smart before?"

"But I want to tell you that although we have reached an agreement now, if you dare to play tricks on me, my golden light is not vegetarian either. When the time comes, you will be close to me, and I will definitely use golden light to beat you to pieces. I will definitely make your body be buried with me!" Zhang Chen's voice was full of threat.

The fox spirit glanced at Zhang Chen and ignored Zhang Chen's threat. The next moment, her figure flashed and disappeared from the spot with Zhang Chen.
