After some refining, the giant's head was successfully refined into the skull cup by Yu Lie. The amber-like red pill enlarged by a full circle, and the solidified dragon flame inside also enlarged.
This discovery made Yu Lie delighted:
"It seems that the soul of that giant-like being is different from the undead, but its quality is similar and can be used as medicine!"
In addition, the giant's skull is also integrated into the skull cup, making this thing about the size of a baby's fist larger in size, more refined in texture, transparent and crystal clear, like fine white crystal.
Yu Lie was not yet sure what the purpose of this skull cup was, but this did not prevent him from immediately returning to the place where he killed the giant and the white-faced woman after finishing the refining, in an attempt to restrain himself. Bones.
Unfortunately, after much of the night's delay, both the white-faced woman's body and the giant's body were already in pieces, as if they had been torn apart by terrifying beasts, with only a few bones left on the ground.
Yu Lie tried to refine these bone stubbles into the skull cup.
But what disappointed him again was that no matter it was the white-faced woman or the giant, the rest of the bones on their bodies had no effect and were directly burned into ashes.
"It seems that only the skull has another purpose...is it because the skull is the only residence of the soul?"
With all kinds of doubts in mind, after Yu Lie cleaned up, he followed the information forced from the white-faced woman's mouth and embarked on a journey to the nearest territory.
This territory is called "Red Rock". There are many mountains in the territory, and the stones are all made of red stone. Rumor has it that in ancient times, ancient dragons fought fiercely here, and their red blood spilled on the mountains, turning the entire mountain range into ashes. It was dyed red, and this scene had just been formed.
There is a castle built in the Red Rock Mountains. It is as spacious as a mountain. The permanent population in the city is tens of thousands. Although it is less than the people in the Giant Forest City, it is already considered a city in the world of the Ferocious Dragon Court. It's a small city.
As for why Yu Lie didn't go to Ju Lin's territory, not to mention the crisis of the alien massacre there just now, Yu Lie also just killed the eldest daughter of Ju Lin's high priest, so he didn't want to take the risk.
………………
Dined and slept in the open all the way.
Yu Lie rode on a paper horse and walked for four or five days before arriving at the foot of a towering cliff.
A spacious suspension bridge appeared in his eyes, connecting the outside of the castle with the wild.
What surprised Yu Lie was that he was not the first group of people to rush to this city. Outside the suspension bridge, there were groups of ragged people lingering.
In addition to large numbers of soul-lost people, there are also undead driving carriages and carrying large numbers of soul-destroying slaves.
These people were obviously people who had escaped from other places, especially Julin City.
In such a messy situation, Yu Lie did not seem out of place.
Because in addition to the undead riding in horse-drawn carriages, there were also a large number of undead riding on livestock, horses, cows, and even lean sheep, which was very disgraceful.
There were so many people fleeing that a simple market was formed at the gate of Hongyan City. There were also impoverished undead people who were selling their property and soul labor along the street.
Yu Lie blended in and took a look around.
Suddenly, someone saw that he was riding alone on a horse. Although he was not riding a flesh and blood horse, but a paper horse turned into a fog horse, he still seemed to be in a pinch, so he asked aloud: "Your Majesty, who is riding a fog horse, is your How many souls does this maid have?"
The person who spoke was a young undead man with a pale face. He was sitting on a human-powered sedan. He was weak, but his eyes were interesting as he looked at the paper horse Yu Lie sat on and the thin girl holding the horse.
Strictly speaking, the girl is no longer considered thin.
After she recognized her master, the dragon flames in her eyes ignited, and she followed Yu Lie to eat meat a few times. She was full of food, and her body suddenly became full and her strength became stronger, which was completely different from what she had been before.
Especially on the girl's body, the remaining traces of the bathing fire clung from her waist to her neck, giving her a strange sense of beauty.
It was this earth-shaking change that transformed the girl from an ugly duckling into a white swan. As soon as she entered the market, she attracted the attention of other undead, and the pale young man who asked for the price was just one of them.
"Soul?" Yu Lie listened to the pale young man's words, chewed in his heart, and opened his mouth:
"Your Excellency, how much can you offer?"
The pale young man heard Yu Lie's voice and waved his hand. A servant came forward to check the girl's teeth and other things.
But Yu Lie frowned slightly, snorted coldly, and a green steel wooden sword flew out from his sleeve and floated in front of the servant.
Wow, the sound of swords and armor suddenly sounded on the scene. It was the servants of the pale young man and others who saw Yu Lie casting a spell, and they immediately took action, making it appear that they were outnumbered.
At the same time, although the girl on Yu Lie's side had no weapons, she swayed and appeared in front of Yu Lie, with flames burning in her eyes as she looked at the opposite side coldly.
The pale young man saw Yu Lie's wooden sword, and then glanced at Yu Lie's mist horses. The other party quickly waved his hand and told the servant to retreat, and then said after thinking:
"Souls for fifteen people."
In the ferocious Dragon Court world, the only currency that still exists is the soul.
One soul refers to the soul that can be harvested after killing a lost soul. Due to the completeness of the soul, the quality of each soul will be different and the value will vary.
Seeing that Yu Lie didn't speak, the pale young man said again: "Fifteen high-quality products."
While the two were talking, the girl stood silently in front of Yu Lie without any reaction.
Fortunately, Yu Lie did not disappoint her. After hearing the other party's bid, Yu Lie shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, my soul-detention service is worth the souls of a hundred people."
After saying a casual sentence, he drove the paper horse and walked in other directions of the market, ignoring the other party.
As for the pale young man, he frowned deeply after hearing Yu Lie's words. However, this person did not stop Yu Lie. Instead, he called his servant and told him something in his ears.
Noisy sounds echoed in the makeshift market.
Yu Lie walked around and suddenly understood why there were so many people lingering outside the city, especially the undead who claimed to be noble.
It turns out that when you enter Hongyan City, you have to pay a heavy tax, and it is a poll tax. Every person who enters has to pay at least one person's soul. Among them, people with different statuses such as lost souls, soul prisoners, and undead have to pay taxes. Each is different.
By doing this, it is obvious that the people in Hongyan City are taking the opportunity to harvest outsiders.
If it weren't for the fact that there were quite a lot of undead people fleeing, and there were even more soul guards under his command, and they had already formed a force outside the city, I'm afraid the exploitation on the part of Red Rock City would have been even heavier.
However, all of the above have nothing to do with Yu Lie for the time being.
The only thing that made Yu Lie frown a little was that he didn't have the tax to pay when entering the city, so he had to find a way to solve it.
But soon, without Yu Lie having to figure out a solution on his own, someone came to his door and wanted to help him solve it.
The person who came to his door was none other than the pale young man who came to him during the day to inquire about the price.
…………………………
On the mountain road in Fangqi District, Yu Lie took the girl and climbed along the mountain road. After walking in circles into Fangfang Valley, a bunker appeared in front of them.
As soon as they appeared, there was immediately the sound of trumpets blaring.
Yu Lie observed carefully outside the bunker for a moment, and then he rode the paper horse and walked in without hesitation.
After walking in, clusters of torches appeared in his eyes, and various people were waiting and walking around inside.
Judging from their appearance, most of these people are soul-lost people, but these soul-lost people in the bunker are completely different from those outside Red Rock City.
they only
They may only look miserable in appearance, but their temperament and eyes are very mysterious. Especially when they look at the guards in the bunker, what they see in their eyes is not fear, but a condescending look down on them.
When Yu Lie walked in, there was immediately discussion, and the language he used was not the awkward language of this world, but the sound of the mountains and seas.
"Hey, among the brothers who came here today, there is one who is undead. It seems that this brother has some wealth!"
The group of people in the bunker were obviously not natives of this world, but Taoist disciples who came from across the world.
Yu Lie raised his eyebrows slightly. He immediately fell off the paper horse and held his hands towards the many Taoist disciples present:
"I've met fellow Taoists."
Before he could continue talking to the group of Taoist disciples, the pale young man from the daytime appeared in front of Yu Lie again.
At this time, the young man's face showed humility, not like an immortal at all, but more like a low-level lost soul.
The other party walked up to Yu Lie and whispered: "Dear Sir, the Lord God is waiting in the room. Please come over and talk."
Yu Lie spoke in the language of this world and told the pale young man:
"Place my soul slave in place."
When the pale young man heard this, he immediately responded, and as an immortal, he personally went to settle the girl whose status was far lower than his.
Such a scene fell into Yu Lie's eyes, making Yu Lie even more curious.
If his guess was correct, this pale young man should have recognized his paper horse when he saw it outside the city, and asking the price was just a test of him.
It should be noted that in this world, the appearance of the talisman paper horses will change according to the local customs, but all the paper horses will only change into one appearance. If anyone has used or seen a paper horse, they will recognize it at a glance.

The ghost Taoist opposite caught this trace of dragon energy, tasted it for a while, and then threw it into the golden urn, causing the talisman paper to sway.
As soon as the work was done, another trace of dragon energy jumped out from the ghosts and gods' golden urn and merged into Yu Lie's Taoist urn.
In an instant, Yu Lie understood a lot from this trace of dragon energy, and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.
After the ghost finished his work, he waved his hands lazily and retracted into the dry corpse.
There was just a buzzing sound in the darkroom: "It's done. When you go out, remember to call the next one in."
It turns out that the specific origin of this ghost and god is none other than that the Taoist Palace was specially placed in this world and was responsible for things in the territories of all parties.
It has a common name: "Tui Gong".
Among those who lead the way in the ferocious dragon court world, he is respected as the "Guardian of the Territory".
However, the current duty of this "territory guardian" is not to protect the world of the ferocious Dragon Court, but to issue tasks and drive the many Taoist disciples who come here to destroy mountains and cities and encroach on the Dragon Court.
For example, Yu Lie, if he wants to pass the test, in addition to hunting the undead on his own, he can also accept tasks from the hands of ghosts, gods and Taoists, accumulate merits, and conquer the indigenous settlements one by one.
Especially when destroying the Ascension Torch in various places, the Lord of the Land must take action, both as a witness and to solve future problems.
Otherwise, if we really rely on a group of Taoist disciples to cut down mountains and destroy temples without giving any help, then this assessment will not be called an assessment, but will be called making things difficult and a trap.
