"The Death Flower is a special plant that is not a plant. It is a plant because it grows in the soil, but it is not a plant because it does not require sunlight or water to grow."
"Not only is it not necessary, it is also afraid of the sun and likes to live in dark corners. Moreover, this flower has very high nutritional requirements. Without enough nutrients, it will easily die."
"So the so-called dead energy you mentioned refers to corpse fertilizer! How is it different from ordinary flowers? Aren't they all the same?"
Li Yi curled his lips disapprovingly.
"So it is a plant, but no plant has its functions. Otherwise, why collect it?"
Curtis looked like it was a matter of course.
"Actually, there are many such plants in the magic world. If you can't leave for the time being, I would still recommend that you go to the magic world to collect them."
"hehe."
Li Yi smiled and said nothing, and casually put the death flower he had just picked into his arms, but was stopped by Curtis.
"It's best to leave this thing here with me. If you keep it in your arms for a long time and come into contact with people's anger, it will die."
Li Yi was slightly startled, but without saying anything, he immediately put the Death Flower into the system's backpack.
"So do all the materials you asked me to collect have this property?"
"That's not true. Aren't there a lot of common materials?"
Li Yi nodded after thinking about it for a moment.
"Yes, there is indeed a small amount of materials that can be found everywhere, so let's go!"
"Wait, you're just leaving like this?"
"Why are you still here if you don't leave?"
"It's not like there are only death flowers here. Since they are all here, we must take them away together!"
"what else?"
Li Yi looked around and found nothing else on the materials list.
In fact, the so-called list is really just a list. He only knows the names of Captain Xu's materials, but he doesn't know what the materials look like.
Weird names such as "the second Christmas tree cut down", "the second blooming epiphyllum", or "my cousin's refrigerator that always has snacks" occupied Cody's mind. A large part of the list that Si made.
It's easy to understand from the beginning. Although it's difficult to squat on the second blooming epiphyllum, it's not impossible.
But what the hell is "my cousin's house always has a refrigerator with snacks"?
Cousin?
Whose cousin?
I also use a refrigerator that always has snacks, so this material is a whole refrigerator?
God knows what Li Yi's expression looked like when he saw this list for the first time.
It probably won't feel easy.
If we hadn't known that this system creature came from the magical world, and there were indeed many items with such inexplicable prefixes in the magical world.
Li Yi would probably throw this list into the trash can as waste paper.
You should stop joking in moderation, right?
Yes, he really coveted the power sealed in An Qingluo's body.
But that doesn't mean he likes being treated like a fool.
But now that Curtis was in hand, he didn't question the other party.
He has never seen the entity, but the other party has!
"Well, isn't that what it is? A corpse soaked in fresh blood, a male."
Curtis pointed in the direction and looked around. It was the area with the densest accumulation of corpses in mass graves!
Fortunately, it was below freezing at this time, otherwise with this density, Li Yi felt like his nose would be smoked off.
But even though the corpses in the entire mass grave were frozen into popsicles, they would crunch with just a kick.
The taste is still there.
It's just that when blown by the north wind, it fades away quickly, so you don't have to worry about your nose being hurt.
"Where? There are so many."
"That's it, you'll know when you go over and take a look."
With doubts, Li Yi walked in the direction pointed by Curtis.
The discarded and frozen corpses here have piled up into a mountain. It is a real mountain of corpses.
The slight difference is that there is no sea of blood.
Most of the corpses here are thin and weak, and they look like they either died of starvation or illness.
Not many have experienced the battlefield.
In other words, most of the corpses that died on the battlefield would not be dumped here.
In the eastern zone, most of the armed forces belong to the Sima family.
The rest are small and powerful families in the east.
In addition, there are the local landlords’ armed forces.
Of course, most of this armed force is just to protect one's own safety, especially in border areas.
Therefore, the level of local armed forces is very uneven.
He is almost as strong as a regular army. He has rich combat experience and a high personal force value.
The weak ones are just a ragtag group, unable to form an effective fighting force. At most, they can only defend against bandits and robbers.
Of course it is none of these.
Because they were frozen, these corpses were relatively well preserved, and the expressions on their faces remained the same as the moment before they died.
Most of them have painful expressions. After all, death from illness or starvation is not an easy thing to endure.
Only the dead know the taste of it.
"There are some poor people here. Where are the corpses soaked in blood? They are still fresh..."
Li Yi rarely complained that he had not seen any similar corpses.
Because the description was very detailed, he looked at it very carefully.
But he didn't find the target.
"Open those and look inside."
Curtis directed.
According to his command, after opening several corpses in succession, Li Yi finally found the blood-soaked corpse in Curtis' mouth in a mass grave.
male.
The corpse looked stronger than the many corpses Li Yi had seen.
Of course, it's just stronger.
This is the result of comparing with the old, weak, sick and disabled. The fact is that this is the most ordinary person (corpse), or even a person who is thinner than ordinary people.
He was very young and looked to be in his late twenties at most. Due to the effect of cryogenic freezing, his expression at the moment before death was completely preserved.
But there is one biggest difference between him and others.
"He obviously suffered a lot of injuries, but why was he smiling before he died?"
Hearing Curtis' inquiry, Li Yi was silent for a while, then squatted down and looked carefully.
After a while, he stood up again and did not answer.
"You said this corpse is also raw material?"
"Yes, it's genuine."
"Can you change it?"
As he spoke, Li Yi walked away from the smiling corpse, seemingly dissatisfied.
Curtis was confused.
"Why? I think the material of this body is very suitable, and the age is just right. It is young enough and best meets the requirements of the ceremony!"
There was another sentence that it didn't say.
That is, the most effective ritual must be carried by a fresh enough "vessel".
This corpse is the most suitable both in terms of age and state (frozen).
After hearing these words, Li Yi stopped, walked back step by step, squatted in front of the smiling corpse, and spoke word by word.
"I don't know what the specific criteria are for your judgment, but I can probably guess what it is. Although I have never been to the magical world, I have watched some magical movies."
Just when Curtis was still wondering what it was, he heard Li Yi continue to speak.
"You know this, so I won't talk about it. I'll just tell you the results of my examination of this body."
Curtis thought to himself that there was nothing left to examine about the body. Isn't it obvious?
It fits right at first glance!
"This man is less than twenty years old, about fifteen or sixteen, and his development is very poor. This is normal. A child from a poor family can grow into such a physique because of his military career. As we all know, In this land, if you can't feed your family, the best way is to eat military rations. This is probably the most ironclad rule for poor families to survive in this world."
"So there is still a lot of childishness and youthfulness left in this man. Even from the calluses on his hands, it can be seen. He should be a veteran, but after all, he is still young, and the characteristics that match his age have not yet been completed. Elimination, and thanks to the snowstorm, the true appearance of the corpse was well preserved...\"
"......what do you want to say in the end?"
After listening to Li Yi's ramble for a long time, Curtis thought that the host had other ideas, but he didn't expect that he really analyzed the corpse from beginning to end.
He even made some inferences about his life, and he couldn't help it.
After hearing this, Li Yi stopped, and then continued talking after a while, as if he didn't hear what Curtis said at all, and completely ignored it.
"Perhaps from your point of view, this is indeed a rare... ritual material, but from my point of view, it is completely different..."
Curtis was listening when he suddenly felt a figure flashing before his eyes.
Li Yi didn't know when he had entered his sea of consciousness and stood face to face with Curtis.
This made Curtis even more stunned, not knowing what his host was going to do.
Could it be that it is occupied by some strange memory fragment?
According to the memory he inherited, this host does have this problem.
As a result, Li Yi seemed to have seen through him.
Shaking his head in denial.
"I'm not crazy, I'm sane."
