Although it was difficult to show any surprise on his face with only bones left, Lich Edwin still couldn't believe the news he just heard.
It was already midnight on the second day after Lord David's army began to gather and set off. Unbelievably, missing people continued to appear in the camp.
If the missing ones are just ordinary low-level undead, maybe they fell apart naturally while walking, it's no big deal. If the missing are mid-to-high-level undead, maybe there are strong hunters hunting in secret, which is understandable.
, but what is missing is...
"Yes, one side of Lord Carbon's camp in the southwest city is completely empty. The tents are all there, the equipment is there, and even everyone's personal belongings are there, but there is no one there."
The messenger was a ghost, his expression was vague, but the flickering shadow shell showed his agitated heart.
"How is that possible! This is the thirty-seventh time that the group has disappeared. Even though the high-level undead are constantly patrolling back and forth, they are still missing. By the way, does Lord Carbon know about it?"
This has to be said to be a wonderful irony. The undead actually encountered ghost stories, and they could not understand their colleagues who disappeared silently.
If there was a sudden attack, how could it just disappear without any response? There were no traces of battle at the scene. For other races, there might be a large-scale psychic attack, but the entire undead race is immune to psychic magic. How could this be possible?
It disappeared silently.
"Lord Carbone... Lord Carbone was in the barracks at the time, and he is also missing!"
The Lich suddenly stood up, the soul fire in his eyes flickering. It was nothing if the low-level undead suddenly disappeared. But how could the undead kings at least legendary and above disappear so inexplicably? Carbon
His strength is definitely not inferior to his own. If he can disappear suddenly, how can he be called safe?
Can you kill an undead king instantly while on guard? And without leaving any traces? Are you still here when several big shots are scanning the camp repeatedly? Even though it has been a long time since he felt the threat of death, Lich Edwin still feels it.
His vest felt cold, as if there was something vaguely spying on him in the dark night.
"Actually, I have some clues, but I'm not sure yet..."
The fluctuations of the shadow became more and more intense, and it seemed that the secret contained in it made it unable to control its excitement.
"What on earth did you find? Tell me!"
The anxious emotion made the Lich take the initiative to face the ghost. He grabbed the opponent's void body and asked hastily.
"Then, that's..."
Before he finished speaking, the Lich noticed that the shadow seemed to begin to dissipate, and the dark wind filled the room with smoke. The silent wailing was the scream of the soul. It seemed that some curse had been triggered, and the ghost began to die automatically.
"Speak quickly! I order you to speak quickly!"
The hurried Lich Edwin quickly approached the ghost, pouring a large amount of negative energy into his arm to protect his dissipating body. Then he found that something was wrong.
The negative energy sent out was like a stone sinking into the sea. The outstretched arm found that it could not be withdrawn, but the shadow completely turned into black mist, and the black mist turned into distorted faces again, and some of the faces were so familiar.
The hoarse soul voice echoed in the room, without any warmth of emotion.
"Join us..."
"...Why is it you! Carbone!"
The most eye-catching face was the undead king who had just disappeared. Feeling that the situation was not good, Edwin immediately planned to activate the protective spell, but there was no response. When the black mist completely dissipated, the lich's camp was empty.
There is no one there, but the night breeze blows through the open window, and the diary on the desk is turned over and over again, as if the owner of the place was here just now.

"Have you heard? Many undead people disappeared again at night. It's really scary. This time, one of the missing people was a lich. It is said that not only his people are gone, but even the phylactery has become empty. It can actually be
It’s really scary for a lich with a phylactery to disappear without a trace.”
"What are you afraid of? You are not an undead."
Apparently, the dwarf "eldest sister" Mary was not interested in Betty's exclamation. She was trapped in the camp. She had stopped drinking for two days, and her face looked tired and listless. According to her, this was the habit of the dwarves.
, it will be fine in two days, but I know that this is just alcoholism caused by excessive drinking, and it will be fine in two days... Or, she was not wrong, it is just a clan-wide problem.
It's just habitual alcoholism.
"...The trade channel I just established, those undead are really in stock, especially those intelligent undead. As long as some expired journals and books can be exchanged for a lot of treasured magic information and gold. Originally, the corpse witch promised to give
I introduced a big boss Lich, but the boss disappeared and canceled immediately. Ahhhh, that bastard still owes me two silver coins, and he plans to use the enchanted cursed skull to exchange for it with me!"
"...Not to mention that the enchanted cursed skull is a precious material for undead magic. You, a true god priest, bringing this thing with you are no different from blaspheming the gods. The minimum price of that thing is tens of thousands of gold coins. You only need two silver coins.
Accept? This is too profiteer."
How should I put it? Should I say that I am worthy of being a priest of the goddess of wealth? You can even make money from dead people!
"By the way, I can sell amulets that have been blessed by the true God! Now that people are in panic...and ghosts are in panic, I can definitely sell them!"
"Just don't be fooled and get caught. By the way, have you noticed that many undead have become dull recently? They seem to be at a loss..."
Well, while you can make money, you can also promote the doctrine, and you might even be able to poach a few believers from the dead. The business experience outside the door is enough to impress the goddess of wealth. Let’s not talk about it for the moment. My research has also entered the stage.
On track.
In the center of the room, there is a decayed stone tombstone, but the surrounding area is still surrounded by various magic circles. The dead cat is writing and drawing around it to maintain it.
"It's incredible. Such a small thing. Is it the core of the Grave Demon?"
Graveyard Demon is one of my harvests from the Cloud Tower, and it is also a super undead creature made according to ancient methods.
He is a strange monster that is often the incarnation of a cemetery. Once awakened, it will be at least a super undead war machine above the holy level, and its specific combat power and abilities will be determined based on the area and history of the cemetery it is composed of.
If it is an ordinary cemetery... an ordinary cemetery cannot create it. Generally, it can only be produced in an area with enough negative energy after more than a hundred years of erosion. And if the cemetery demon appears on the battlefield after a bloody battle for a hundred years, it is more than 100 meters tall.
giant war machine, if
It is a graveyard demon built on a battlefield of the level of God War. If there are corpses of demigods and quasi-gods among them, then even true gods will have a headache. In fact, the demon lord on the first floor of the Demonic Endless Abyss is such a graveyard.
Demon, but I heard that it occurs naturally.
Ordinary necromancers regard it as a creation of necromancy magic, but do not research it thoroughly. This is a common problem among most mages. They are used to the magic of various mysterious creations. They never ask more about why. This is a common problem.
This kind of calmness and harmony created by the over-development of magic civilization, but because of the luxurious and colorful colors in front of us, we also missed a lot of hidden scenery.
The most incredible thing about the Grave Demon is its structure. It is made of grave soil with extremely high negative energy. That is to say, although there are negative energy and corpses in its body, 99% of its material is still earth element.
.
So, according to the most basic element theory, it seems that he should be an earth element creature, but in fact, regardless of any classification, it is regarded as a pure undead creature.
This is undoubtedly contrary to the current mainstream theory of undead research.
Different from my research method that starts from the essence and basics, the vast majority of necromancers start from the undead materials that can be seen and touched. They tend to use better undead materials to create stronger undead creatures, and even according to my
Personal theory, there is nothing wrong with this. A strong soul must have a strong body to exert its strongest strength. Gentleman... A positive soul must be carried by a healthy body, otherwise there will most likely be problems, but this is definitely not a creation of the undead.
all!
The bones of legendary strong men can often create legendary undead, but this does not mean that all legendary undead must be made from the bones of strong men above legendary. In the eyes of most necromancers, this is an undoubted axiom.
If we follow the classic model of undead creation, there is no way to explain why the Grave Demon, which is 90% made of clay, is so powerful. It has an incredibly powerful aura of blasphemy. While its own combat power is amazing, it can also become a supply ground for the undead.
and training centers, let alone the source of those supernatural abilities.
Perhaps, they would say that the bones among them played a role, but those bones buried in the soil were undoubtedly a random combination formed by nature.
If a random combination of materials can form a magical creation, top-level undead with a large number of supernatural abilities can be created. What more needs to be done by the undead circle and the necromancers? This in itself is a mockery of the classic undead creation theory.
But it can be explained very clearly with my knowledge of undead structure. This is also the reason why I am so interested in the Grave Demon.
"Only a powerful enough soul can drive such a powerful undead creature, and through research, it has been determined that that soul does not have much intelligence... No, it should be said that it does not have any memory or knowledge, it is just like a newborn baby.
His soul is simply blank, and yet he has a soul above the legendary level just after birth, which is simply unexplainable."
This naturally reminded me of the River Styx, which can reincarnate souls. After several experiments, I came to the conclusion that is most likely to be close to the truth.
This soul is not an individual in the cemetery, but a collection of countless individual remnant souls. The entire cemetery is his body, and the matching soul is born in this body.
Maybe the final conclusion is a bit outrageous, but I personally think it makes some sense:
Under the long-term erosion of negative energy, the normal transformation from life to death was reversed. The bones of the deceased became the catalyst for transformation. The sludge full of bones completed the transformation from death to life, and all the remaining souls were synthesized.
(Eating each other and giving birth to) a collective consciousness. He is a newborn, so he is blank and needs time and knowledge to catalyze his maturity.
Okay, now that we know the principle of the creation of graveyard demons, does it have any practical significance? Cemeteries that are more than a hundred years old are not everywhere, so there are still many unknowns in the generation of collective consciousness. Even if you want to mass-produce them, it is impossible.
But they just follow the gourd and make finished products according to the drawings and processes. They are only third-rate technicians and real researchers, but they can improve the original design based on the principles. If the materials are insufficient, they can find substitutes and even make far-reaching products.
A super original product.
"...The formation of the Cemetery Demon requires two basic conditions. First, a lot of negative energy gathers into a relatively independent individual, and secondly, there are many relatively independent souls. In a sense, the gathered together
The army of the undead meets this basic condition. They are a whole (legion), but they have countless pieces of souls (the undead themselves)."
Of course, this alone is not enough. There are still many unsolved mysteries about the emergence of the Graveyard Demon. The undead simply gathering together cannot achieve the prerequisite for the emergence of group consciousness, so I used some tricks.
"Is this tombstone the soul of the newly born graveyard demon?"
"No. No, he is just the soul fragment of 'Xiao San'. It is a part that I cut off for research. If it is a complete Xiao San, it will be of no use. He already has his own body, but if it is an incomplete fragment in front of me,
Only when he desires to be complete can he accomplish my goal, and he will become the seed of this soul giant!"
There is a connection between the undead. The undead emperor controls the undead king. The undead king uses soul contracts to control high-level undead. The high-level undead control a large number of low-level undead. This is a conceptually established soul network.
, he is also the backbone of the undead army.
If we regard an army of the undead as an individual, each member is his cell, but these cells have independent consciousness. When one day, the consciousness of the group wakes up, orders all its cells to obey its command, and annihilates the individual cells.
consciousness, what will happen?
The current "Xiao San" is the cluster consciousness. What I have to do is very simple, just tell him that the entire undead army is his body, and the soul network formed between the undead is his meridians and blood vessels. It's time for him to wake up!
"He's awake. He needs a baby. He needs the power of death to be gathered together. He needs all the cells to be arranged according to his own wishes. He is a premature baby with congenital deficiencies. He wants to... be born!"
I don’t know what specific strange changes it has gone through, just like no one knows how a baby obtains its own consciousness and soul, and how many magical processes are involved. All I did was satisfy the conditions for this phenomenon to happen, and then this
The phenomenon happened naturally, but...
"...To be honest, I don't know what the results of this will be, but don't you think it's interesting just because you don't know? Experiments that are destined to succeed are not interesting at all, and the unknown is the most attractive. And if once
If I succeed, my undead structure will have new results!"
And now, the results of my experiment have come to fruition. In this camp, the undead army is alive. It is cleaning the impurities in its body, perfecting its soul and body. It orders its blood vessels, trunk, limbs, and internal organs to obey its orders.
Build your most perfect body.
The undead came together with blank eyes, merging and devouring each other. They could not resist, nor would they resist, just like the body could not refuse the order of the soul. Only the strong who used the soul emblem to prove themselves to the world could still remain themselves for a short time.
**, but instead, the group consciousness came to the door in advance and turned it into nutrition in advance. Since they were still part of this legion, they were naturally swallowed without any resistance.
A new soul is on the way to being born, and as the leader of the experiment, I can't finish the daily experiment records. Countless inspirations flash in my mind. It seems that I am about to see the birth of another masterpiece, and
This time, since it is the gathering of legions that bring about war, I plan to call him Mars (War Mars).
Perhaps, only by using oneself to construct the Holy Order of the mental image world can we avoid the desperate situation of being conceptually defined as part of the army. However, judging from the fact that there is already an unlucky Holy Order Undead Lord, such a standard may not be safe.
Of course, it is actually easy to refuse the call of Mars. Just tell yourself that you are not part of the undead army but an outsider. Then Mars will naturally be unable to conceptually define you as a part of his physical body.
But it's a pity that as long as I don't say it, no undead will be able to think of it.
This is indeed unreasonable, but according to the medieval concepts in a certain region, if someone predicted that steel creations could float on water and fly in the air, they would definitely be regarded as crazy. Many seemingly unreasonable phenomena are just because the research is not in-depth enough.
The experimental results can be used to infer the principle. If this experiment can really succeed, I am afraid that I will reverse the intermediate process step by step, and I am destined to gain a lot.
"Um...have you ever thought about how to end it? This thing makes me feel stupid, so don't worry that you won't be able to control it."
"Don't worry, I've thought about it all."
"Are there complete control preparations? How was it done? When was it done?"
"...It should be said that since I have no idea how to control it, I have no intention of controlling it at all. Will parents plan the future of their newborn child? Let him grow up freely and happily. Well, judging from this appetite, he will be a
A healthy and good boy.”
[He will definitely be very healthy, but others will definitely be very unhealthy! Don’t sound like a stupid parent who is proud of the excessive energy of a naughty child, can’t you reflect on it, during the pregnancy, even the holy level
Have you ever thought about what kind of monster you will turn into after swallowing nutritional supplements? The composition of high-level undead as a substance is obviously much better than that of negative energy soil. The composition of these undead kings
Have you ever thought about how strong the clustered soul will be in the end? The two-way bonus of soul and body will have a geometric bonus! There is basically no upper limit for that thing. Have you ever thought about it? Ninety-nine percent of you will be able to get away with it?
I've said before that if you don't stop the creation of the undead, the world will be destroyed sooner or later! The system prompts: Five points of justice points will be automatically deducted, so you don't need to thank me. By the way, what do you think of me using the roaring body next time?]
Heloise nodded calmly, she was used to it,
"...My Majesty, you will destroy this world sooner or later, really." (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
