Chapter 66: Operation of the Original Demon Cave

Just as Han Shuo was celebrating privately with himself and about to open his mouth to accept, another dwarf suddenly intervened and said, "Bennett, the village chief said we can't bring humans into the village, have you forgotten?

"But Benson, he saved us from the hands of those forest troll villains!" Bennet looked at the dwarf and replied.

"I know, but we have to listen to the village chief or we'll be punished." Benson said stubbornly.

"No problem, no problem, I won't go. It's very nice to meet you. I've been adventuring in this area lately, perhaps we'll meet again. Farewell." Han Shuo understood that he couldn't be too hasty when dealing with dwarves. It wouldn't take a second to gain their approval and friendship, so he immediately opened his mouth to speak.

"Dear friend, we are truly sorry. This is a wineskin of beer we brewed. Please accept it as a token of our gratitude. I hope you can forgive us." Bennett took out a wineskin and handed it to Han Shuo, speaking apologetically.

Han Shuo had hoped they would forge a decent set of weapons in return, but of course he didn't want to say that now. He smiled and accepted the wineskin, humbly expressing his understanding and leaving with the small skeleton.

If his magic could be trained to the true demon realm, Han Shuo would naturally be able to refine magical weapons on his own, but if Han Shuo wanted a decent weapon right now, obtaining it through the dwarves was actually a good method.

There was a magical treasure called the Demon Slayer's Blade. It was a little longer than a dagger, but a little shorter than a sword. Its two edges were razor-sharp without parallel, and its tip was a sharp triangular spine. Once activated, the Demonslayer's Edge would decapitate enemies in mid-flight. It was an incredibly terrifying weapon that had remained in Chu Cang Lan's memories.

With Han Shuo's current magical training, he definitely couldn't refine iron items and directly create the Demonslayer's Edge magical treasure. However, Han Shuo wanted to use the dwarves to forge a prototype and then slowly improve it with his magic. When he had found the appropriate materials and his magical training had reached a suitable stage, he would start from scratch and refine it several times until he had created a perfect Demonslayer Edge.

After returning to the Cemetery, Han Shuo stopped at the empty plot of land in front of the black moat. Bone fragments littered the ground. The Cemetery of Death never saw the light of the sun because of the enchantment, and the sky was shrouded in a thick grey cloud. Han Shuo felt very close to the surroundings, and that the thick darkness inside was very suitable for necromancy creatures.

"Souls of the fallen soldiers, heed the call of the dark herald and reveal your existence!" Skeletal warriors slowly appeared in front of Han Shuo one by one as Han Shuo continued to chant the Skeleton Warrior spell.

Eventually, Han Shuo felt that his mental strength had been slightly depleted when five skeleton warriors appeared in the open space. He stopped his summoning at that moment.

Although Han Shuo's mental strength had greatly improved from before, his ability to control them was limited, so including the small skeleton, he could control six skeletal warriors. After releasing his mental energy, Han Shuo gave a command and the total of six skeleton warriors began to move, bone daggers in hand, according to Han Shuo's commands.

A series of oddly shaped deep pits and gullies slowly formed on the ground according to Han Shuo's mental manipulations and the dance of the skeleton warriors' bone daggers.

The gully in the middle connected these deep pits like a long line, and when viewed from a distance, the gully-connected deep pits looked like the grimacing face of a ghost that was about six metres wide. The deep pits formed the nose, eyes and ears of the grimacing ghost, and it looked a bit sinister and evil.

The "Primordial Demon Cave" was a matrix left behind by Chi Cang Lan for the refinement of "primordial demons". 18 ghosts had to be placed in the 'Primordial Demon Cave' so that they could slaughter and devour each other through the operations of the matrix. In the end, only the three most powerful ghosts would survive, and they would be refined into "Original Demons" after the operation and concentrated refinement of the "Original Demon Cave".

The Primordial Demon Cave would need to operate for at least 36 days, during which time it would continue to absorb the Yin Qi from Heaven and Earth. The refiner would have to feed it six drops of fresh blood every day and inject it with magical yuan. When the Original Demon was formed, it would have a direct mental link with the refiner and could silently enter the opponent's body. Once the Original Demon entered the enemy's body, it would automatically feed on the enemy's life force and blood.

In Han Shuo's memory, demon practitioners referred to the 'Original Demon' as one of the 'Demon Generals'. Depending on their own level of training, demon practitioners could refine four 'Demon Generals' of different levels. They were divided into - Original Demon, Yin Demon, Mystical Demon and Spirit Demon.

Of these four, the primordial demon was actually the lowest level general, and its method of refinement was the simplest. It only needed the Yin Qi between Heaven and Earth and the fresh blood of the demon practitioner.

Of course, the power of a small demon general like the Original Demon was also the weakest. Many things could harm him. Flame and ice could destroy it, and even if it entered an enemy's body, as long as the enemy had enough True Yuan and Magic Yuan, they could kill it from within.

.

However, with Han Shuo's training level, he could only refine such minor demon generals. Not only was his current level not up to the task of refining stronger demon generals like the 'Mystical Demon', but for the time being, he didn't even know the method.

Han Shuo was refining the 'Original Demon' to use as a scouting tool, and also to provide some assistance to Han Shuo if they were to infiltrate an enemy during battle. The enemy would at least have to split their concentration to deal with the 'Original Demon', giving Han Shuo the opportunity to act. If the enemy was too weak, then the invasion of the Original Demon would be enough to kill them.

Once the 'Demon Primordial Cave' was complete, Han Shuo ordered the skeletal warriors to clean up the 'Demon Primordial Cave'. Relying on the round green ball and the same method as before, Han Shuo trained his mental power for one night, and on the second day, he used all of his mental power to summon eighteen 'ghosts' and place them all inside the 'Primordial Demon Cave'.

The "ghosts" were from another dimension and on the same plane of existence as the "ghosts" that Han Shuo already understood. After learning necromancy magic, Han Shuo didn't even need to venture out to collect these 'ghosts'. All he needed was a simple incantation to take care of everything. This was truly extremely convenient.

When the eighteen 'ghosts' had entered the 'Primordial Demon Cave', a cold wind suddenly whipped around the surroundings, and streams of cool presence from all over the cemetery of death gathered in the 'Primordial Demon Cave'. The concentration of Yin Qi was far beyond Han Shuo's expectations.

At this moment, Han Shuo suddenly remembered that whether it was necromancy magic or his magic training, they were all on the path of evil. These two paths were both different and evil cults in their respective worlds. They had much in common, and it was half the effort with twice the results when they were used together, saving Han Shuo a lot of effort.

When the Original Demon Cave had absorbed enough Yin Qi, the grimacing outline of the ghost face that formed the Original Demon Cave suddenly seemed to come alive, twisting and turning with endless changes. Spheres of black air rose from the seven orifices of the ghost's face.

Seeing this scene, Han Shuo immediately understood that everything was as he had speculated. The 'ghosts' could act as pseudo 'ghosts' and become the basic material of the 'Primordial Demon Cave'. When Han Shuo bit his finger and dropped six drops of fresh blood into the Primordial Demon Cave, and after infusing it with his magical yuan, the eighteen 'ghosts' suddenly went into a berserk frenzy, uttering horrific screams. They fought and slaughtered each other for the six drops of fresh blood.

"Done. Now all I have to do is wait 36 days for three Yin Demons to form!" " Han Shuo smiled as he looked at the 'Primordial Demon Cave' and turned his head to look at the skeletal warriors on the side. He suddenly realised that the magically refined little skeleton seemed to be attracted to the 'Primordial Demon Cave'. Without Han Shuo's command, it had stepped into the Demon Primordial Cave and lay lazily in one of the deep pits. It actually crossed two calf bones over it and displayed a strange posture.

That strange posture looked like - enjoyment!

Han Shuo was dumbfounded as he sent out his mental power and was ready to order the small skeleton to leave the 'Original Demon Cave'. However, he felt the little skeleton's joy in his heart, which startled Han Shuo greatly. With a look of surprise and shock, he gazed at the little skeleton relaxing in the 'Primordial Demon Cave'.

After a while, Han Shuo was still unable to comprehend what was going on. He observed the 'Primordial Demon Cave' and discovered that it was still functioning as usual, and that the 'ghosts' were still killing each other within it, seemingly unaffected. Han Shuo shook his head and muttered, "That little skeleton is getting weirder and weirder. Ah, forget it, it doesn't seem to affect the matrix operations. I'll just leave him alone."

He muttered to himself as Han Shuo walked to the cemetery, planning to study the book of 'Beginner's Magic of Necromancy'. He wanted to attack on two fronts and break through both at the same time.
