Chapter 788 Price
After the large-scale mind magic array was set up, the wandering corpses were placed into it, and it was indeed effective.
The zombies did not get out of control.
Instead, he stayed in the formation very stably.
After doing all this, the elders of the corpse-driving tribe did not record the incident in the tribe's code in order to prevent future generations from misusing the corpse.
It only says that there is a way to escape danger in the forbidden area, but it must not be opened unless it is absolutely necessary, and once it is opened, a price must be paid.
Shen Li was anxious, but he had to grit his teeth and listen to the end. Only then did he understand the history of the tribal forbidden area.
But what is the price that is mentioned again and again?
This is what Shen Li is most concerned about.
How could Shen Mu not understand his thoughts? He suddenly sneered and said, "Do you know why my thoughts appear on this wandering corpse? It is because of the existence of this large magic circle."
This magic array preserves the thoughts of the genius ancestor. Since the ancestor has passed away for so long, his thoughts have long since ceased to have the ability to think, and now only a breath remains.
The only effect this breath can have is to stabilize the zombie, but it cannot control its actions because the ancestor's mind has collapsed.
So how should future generations use this wandering corpse?
The genius ancestor of the corpse-driving clan seemed to have anticipated this, so he set up a little trick inside the wandering corpse's body.
As long as the descendants transmit their thoughts into the wandering corpse, the thoughts of the ancestors in the formation will merge with it, which will give the wandering corpse an illusion that it is the ancestors who are controlling it.
"This is why my thoughts have been preserved until now and why I can control the actions of this zombie. Of course, it is limited to this forbidden area."
Shen Mu's tone suddenly became intriguing as he spoke: "Once I leave this forbidden area, my consciousness will soon disappear. If I don't bring the corpse back to the forbidden area in time, it will be a huge disaster."
Through his own thoughts, he brought the wandering corpses outside, but once his thoughts disappeared, the wandering corpses outside could not feel the breath of their ancestors and would definitely get out of control.
If that isn’t a disaster, what is?
Shen Li asked solemnly, "With the power of the wandering corpses, it shouldn't be difficult to kill King Tianyan in an instant. It won't take too much time... Dad, how long can you hold out outside?"
"A few seconds, maybe!"
Shen Mu's answer made Shen Li's mouth twitch violently.
He had a feeling that the time would be very short, but no matter how short it was, it should be at least a few minutes. However, Shen Mu said it was only a few seconds. Wasn't he kidding?
What can you do in a few seconds?
It is estimated that the wandering corpses will have gone out of control before they rush to King Tianchen. By then, they will not be helping the corpse-driving clan to overcome the calamity, but will be sending them to heaven.
Shen Li thought this was really ridiculous!
Shen Mu disagreed and said contemptuously: "If it weren't for the difficulty of controlling the wandering corpses, why would our ancestors go to so much trouble to set up such a huge formation?"
That makes sense. If it were really that easy to control, there would be no need to waste such a huge project.
Shen Mu added, "After all, I have been dead for so many years. Although the loss of my consciousness is minimal in this formation, after so many years, my consciousness must be no longer as good as before."
The formation targets the thoughts of ancestors, and is not ideal for preserving the thoughts of descendants like Shen Mu.
This is also stated in the clan code. Every clan leader must enter the forbidden area before his deadline. In fact, it is equivalent to a kind of ideological inheritance.
All that Shen Mu knew was told to him by his previous clan leader, and it was almost exactly the same as what he recounted to his son Shen Li today.
"I can't do it, but you can. As long as you put your thoughts into the zombie's body, you should be able to control it to move around for more than five minutes."
The strong can kill people instantly, smashing their opponents to pieces at lightning speed.
Five minutes is more than enough to kill more than a dozen Tianye Kings.
Shen Li was of course very willing to see this kind of scene, but he was not so naive and asked cautiously: "What is the price? What price do I need to pay?"
Shen Mu paused, then said meaningfully: "Although we have the help of our ancestors, the thought output required to control the wandering corpses is not that simple. We need to give our all."
"all?"
Shen Li's eyes suddenly widened.
In order to better control zombies, the corpse-driving tribe has passed down a method of mind transmission from their ancestors, which is equivalent to a kind of mental power, but this thing is difficult to reverse.
People are born with mental powers, but most people don’t know how to use them.
The corpse-driving clan is quite special. They know how to use mental power but don't know how to cultivate it. In other words, they can only lose but not replenish.
So basically, every corpse-driver may create many zombies in his lifetime, but he can usually only choose one to be his follower.
The most important thing for a follower is to be obedient, which needs to be controlled through the mind.
It’s too much to handle.
Therefore, what Shen Mu said just now, that he wanted Shen Li to put all his thoughts into the body of the zombie, what is the difference between this and draining him to death?
This deal is such a bad deal!
Shen Li said with a gloomy face: "The price is too high, I can't accept it."
In order to kill King Tianchen, one has to sacrifice one's own life. Who can accept this?
It would be better to just hand over that little beast Shen Di.
"Dad, I'm very surprised to be able to talk to you here today, but the price is too heavy. I can't accept it, so I can only think of another way. I'll come to visit you again when I have the chance."
Shen Li quickly prepared to run away.
King Tianchen is still waiting outside. If we waste too much time, it will be a disaster.
Shen Li has made up his mind to abandon Shen Di.
At the same time, there is a feeling of being teased.
The clan code is really a scam.
If he had known earlier that he would have to pay with his life, Shen Li would not have bothered to come in. After all, he was not the kind of saint who would sacrifice himself for others. Wouldn't it be a waste of expression to run in and waste so much time?
however.
What Shen Li never dreamed of was that even more terrible things were yet to come.
