Chapter 865: The Changes in the Valley!
To the east of the Bone Forest, jagged mountains rise like broken teeth, piercing the sky. These peaks are dotted with blackened skeletal structures resembling watchtowers, and within these watchtowers, undead sentinels stand guard, their empty eye sockets forever scanning the horizon.
These mountains were the source of a constant, hollow wind that moaned and wailed as it passed through the valley, giving the place its eerie name, the Wailing Peaks!
Jacob, who was now looking at those watchtowers, was surprised since Blackwell hadn't told him about this kind of arranged army surrounding the Wailing Peaks area.
'Could it be Blackwell never reached this place at all and was making things up? Or was there some unknown change in the Valley of Sunless Dusk while I was in seclusion?' Jacob's eyes flickered with uncertainty before coldness crept out, 'But Autarch and that reckless girl are clearly behind those wailing peaks. More reason for me to not waste any time!'
The next moment, a triangle with a pointed nose and board wings appeared in front of him. Then, it expanded in size and only stopped when it was five meters in diameter-it was naturally the Space Travesty Shuttle!
Jacob didn't want to use it before because its soul force consumption was quite high, especially if he used its space functions, but now that he knew Elia and Autarch went deep in the wailing peaks and saw all those watchtowers filled with peak fable legendary state undead, he can't hold back anymore or waste any time.
As for using a wish, he didn't want to waste his lifespan on these small matters, especially if they weren't related to himself, and he also had a way to tackle these situations.
This was also why Jacob didn't want to get accustomed to using wishes or create a reliance on this ability. If he started relying on it for every problem, Jacob knew he wouldn't be able to progress any further and would squander away all of his lifespan before even realizing it.
So, between his limitless soul force and lifespan, he naturally chose the former without hesitation.
Furthermore, he knew the more functions he used, the more soul force the shuttle would consume. So, he had already decided to use the other fuel, the soul totems!
The moment this thought came into his mind, he looked at all those red dots, which were legendary rank undead, and a hint of killing intent flashed past his eyes as he thought, 'Should I try killing one and see if my hex core makes progress? After all, they're still considered dark beings. Even if nothing happened, I can gather their soul totems and vitalities. But then again, I don't know if they even have any of those since they are created mysteriously by the Valley of Sunless Dusk...'
After thinking about it, Jacob commanded, "Take flight!"
Under Jacob's absolute control, the shuttle finally took flight, and Jacob also controlled its speed as it headed toward a watchtower. Furthermore, Jacob's soul force consumption increased a little again.
With the soul sensor, Jacob could clearly see the structure of that skeletal tower without any restriction. He finally saw the armed undead, donned in tattered black armor. Its body seemed to decay, while its eyes were hollow and pitch black, which could make anyone's soul tremble!
The shuttle quickly reached the top of the watchtower, where the Necrofiend was completely clueless about the shuttle right in front of it. It continued to stare at the horizon with a listless gaze as if it were in a state.
But Jacob knew that the moment this Necrofiend senses something, it would instantly retaliate and alert the others.
At this moment, Jacob moved, and with a thought, the shuttle door instantly opened. Jacob's terrifying soul force, which now actually continued a tint of kaleidoscopic hue, locked on the Necrofiend. Before the undead could react, it was dragged into the cockpit before the door closed, and the shutter vanished without a trace!
Jacob remained sitting on his seat while he looked at the immobilized Necrofiend suspended in the air in front of him, who finally reacted and started to struggle. Still, under Jacob's soul force suppression, it was all useless no matter how it resisted. Not only was it unable to move, but even its magic and soul force were completely locked!
This was the true terror of a Legendary King's soul force!
Jacob looked at Necrofiend as a precious test subject, and Necrofiend even started to tremble under his ghastly glare!
