Chapter 47 Nether Blade: Bone Sacrifice
Yu Jing focused his attention on observing the bone knife.
A faint light suddenly appeared in his pupils.
The gray-white surface of the bone knife in sight faded, replaced by a ghostly blue halo symbolizing death. The resentful gem inlaid on the hilt was even more eye-catching, with a wisp of dark purple light occasionally emerging and flowing across the blade, leaving eerie inscriptions flickering wherever it passed.
All these mysterious phenomena tell Yu Jing that this bone knife is indeed an extraordinary weapon imbued with rich spirituality.
However, its origins destined this weapon to have a clear bias from the moment it was created.
Turning the knob opens the item page, and the information about the bone knife has already been entered into the Torch Watch:
【Item Name: Nether Blade - Bone Sacrifice】
[Type: Weapon]
[Quality: Rare]
[Special Effects: Ethereal Blade, Deathspeaker, Enslaving the Undead]
[Consumption: Psionic Energy or Life Force]
[Usage Conditions: Exclusively for Yu Jing]
Rare grade, three special effects, exclusive weapon!
Even though he had anticipated that this weapon was of exceptional quality, Yu Jing's heart still skipped a beat when he saw all of its information, followed by an overwhelming sense of joy.
The adage "high risk, high reward" has proven to be absolutely true.
He blew up the altar, shot and shattered the Blood Eye, sent the Crystal of Resentment into the stone coffin, withstood the siege of a group of undead to buy time for it to take over the original bone knife, and finally snatched it back from the heavily armored skeleton controlled by the necromancer, and used it to kill the heavily armored skeleton.
Although they failed to kill the necromancer, clearing the female corpse from the sarcophagus and eliminating the portion of the necromancer's consciousness residing within the heavily armored skeleton undoubtedly helped the numerous vengeful spirits within the Crystal of Resentment achieve their revenge to some extent.
Each and every one of these things was done by Yu Jing at great risk.
The slightest misstep could lead to utter ruin.
Fortunately, his efforts were eventually rewarded. Only when the Crystal of Resentment, which possessed the Bone Blade, recognized Yu Jing was he able to wield the weapon in the final battle and control the vengeful spirits to jointly annihilate the necromancer's remaining consciousness.
Otherwise, given his body at the time, which had no idea what psionic energy was, his life force would have been devoured the moment he picked up the Nether Blade.
View the three special effects of the Bone Sacrifice Dagger; the corresponding information appears on the watch screen:
【Ethereal Blade】Infused with psionic energy, Bone Sacrifice's blade will be enhanced, enabling it to directly hit psionic targets and erode their psionic energy, while hitting physical targets will apply an armor-piercing effect.
[Death Speaker] Those who possess the Bone Offering are more likely to detect or attract the attention of the dead, and are able to communicate with the dead to a limited extent.
[Enslaved Undead] After killing a living target with Bone Sacrifice, there is a certain probability that the soul of the target will be absorbed into the Crystal of Resentment and enslaved. The enslaved undead can be summoned to fight in battle. Currently, there are 0/3 enslaved undead.
"Hehe, a rare weapon, this trip has really made me a fortune."
Yu Jing gently stroked the Bone Sacrifice Short Sword, carefully studying its three special effects. The injuries he had sustained in the ancient castle ruins no longer hurt.
As mentioned above, the origin of the Bone Sacrifice Dagger destined it to be inextricably linked to the undead.
Aside from the Ethereal Blade, all three special effects deal with the undead, and some even have the ability to directly enslave them.
It is no wonder that it was specially left in the stone coffin by the necromancer to serve as the core ritual artifact of the entire library altar.
However, this does not prevent Yu Jing from regarding it as his main weapon in the future.
He didn't care about the negative effects of dealing with the dead; his main principle was practicality above all else, and he had no taboos!
With the Bone Sacrifice Dagger at his side, plus his newly acquired talent and personal specialization...
In just one night, Yu Jing's strength underwent a qualitative leap, giving him the confidence to truly establish himself in this world.
He felt nothing but gratitude for the assessment arranged by the Explorers Headquarters.
However, after the initial euphoria, an increasingly heavy sense of fatigue quickly swept over Yu Jing's entire body.
The bone-sacrificing dagger was temporarily sheathed in the machete.
The two knives are about the same length, barely usable. I'll wait until after tonight to find an opportunity to order a more suitable one.
Yu Jing quickly tidied up the late-night snack on the table and went into the bathroom to wash up and go to bed.
He originally intended to wash his hair and then lie down, but the repeated battles and the weakness after the beast form ended had already exhausted his physical strength. He was only holding on by the excitement of counting his spoils.
Who would have thought that the specialty of "hard-to-crack" skills would be so torturous?
The clothes I changed into at the abandoned shopping mall and the bandages I had on at the clinic were soaked with sweat; I really couldn't sleep without taking a shower.
As for whether it's suitable to take a bath when covered in wounds...
Anyway, all the bones in my body have been reinforced, so the remaining skin and flesh injuries can just be re-bandaged at the clinic tomorrow morning.
Despite the aches and pains all over her body, Yu Jing took a hot shower and yawned incessantly as she completely relaxed.
When he finally dried himself off and went into the bedroom, he was in a daze. He swayed and threw himself onto the bed, barely managing to stay awake as he took the Explorers Headquarters Newcomer's Handbook from Yao Feng from the bedside table.
After checking all the pages and the status of the Torch Watch, it's time to make some preparations for future developments.
We definitely need to go to the border area; the agreed time is tomorrow night.
Ah, no, that's not right.
It should be 11 PM tonight.
Before that, we definitely need to figure out what the situation is like at the border of the Explorers Headquarters in the southwestern region of the United States.
At the very least, one needs to know how to use that special badge to enter and exit the border area.
"Okay, let's take a look at the situation on the border area page first."
As Yu Jing opened the newcomer's handbook, about to read it, she was immediately put to sleep by the long passages of text on the pages.
His head tilted to the side, and he immediately lost consciousness.
.....
Perhaps it was because I was too tired.
When Yu Jing woke up from hunger, it was already past three in the afternoon.
I sat up in bed and stretched, my bones cracking like popping beans.
I glanced out the window; the sky was dim, and a light rain enveloped the housing estate, leaving only hazy, undulating outlines.
It is currently the rainy season in the area where Guangsha City is located.
If nothing unexpected happens, the rain will probably continue intermittently for more than half a month before it gradually clears up.
Yu Jing's rumbling stomach urged him to hurry out and find something to eat. He quickly washed up, put on a hoodie, and went out the door.
As a large public housing estate with tens of thousands of residents, Wah King Estate has many elderly people who may not go out for months or even a year, and just stay in the estate.
To sustain these people's daily lives, they naturally have no shortage of various living facilities.
According to the memories left by the previous owner, there were even schools from kindergarten to high school in the estate, not to mention wet markets and restaurants. Yu Jing used to like to wander around to pass the time, but today he was so hungry that he simply decided to eat nearby.
Take the old elevator full of little guys up to the 22nd floor.
Stepping out of the building, you'll find yourself on a ramp, lined with restaurants and shops on both sides.
The vast majority are "family businesses" owned by residents of Wah King Estate.
The street is outside the first floor, and the street is outside the 22nd floor.
This is the "charm" of the mountain city.
