When going to the grassland, Li Ziyu crossed several wilderness areas.
At that time, he was only thinking about the grassland and passed by in a hurry without stopping.
This time he came back, but it was different. He brought tens of millions of Ant-Man souls with him, and even if he wanted to pass through these areas quickly, it would be impossible.
The fortress plus the undead is huge, and if you want to avoid being discovered, you have to be blind on the other side.
Since there was no way to quickly return to the central area, Li Ziyu simply let go and planned to go through the wasteland areas one by one.
These wasteland areas are large or small, and most of them are relatively barren. Compared to the wasteland areas when Li Ziyu traveled through, there are also some traveler lords living in them.
No matter how small the mosquito legs are, they are still meat, and no matter how barren they are, they can still harvest resources.
The border of wasteland and dead land.
Shadows and shadows loomed in the sand, and countless humanoid black shadows moved slowly.
The indigenous people living around the border soon discovered something was wrong. They lurked around the border and watched warily.
Some time ago, they discovered that something indescribably huge passed through their land and entered the wasteland of death.
The thing didn't stop. Although it was huge, it didn't cause any harm or trouble to them.
Now something actually appeared in the wasteland and dead land, and they were at a loss.
Look at those black shadows, they look like living creatures, very large numbers of them.
But what kind of creature can actually pass through the wasteland and die?
The undead Ant-Man braved the wind and sand, step by step, walked out of the dead land of the wasteland and set foot on the wasteland.
What weird thing is this?!
The vigilant scouts were stunned when they saw Ant-Man's dead body.
Most of the people living in the wilderness area are orcs, and due to the lack of resources, the aboriginal people in remote areas almost never think of leaving their area. For them, the place where they live is the whole world.
Li Ziyu has never seen the Ant-Man race in the wasteland, let alone these wasteland natives.
It looks a bit like an ant, an ant standing upright.
But how can this ant walk like a human?
Just when the natives couldn't figure out what these things were, more and more Ant-Man undead came out of the dead land in the wasteland, so many that the scalps of the natives went numb.
many!
How many monsters are there?!
They have given up counting.
There are simply countless of them, and they are endless, as if they are going to fill the entire world.
In addition to these strange things, there is also a thing as huge as a mountain that flickers in and out of the wind and sand.
What is that?
What is it?
In the horrified eyes of the scouts, a fortress the size of a mountain and made of dense bones gradually emerged from the wasteland.
And those strange things that look like ants are guarding the fortress.
Just by looking at it, fear began to spread in the scout's heart.
Li Ziyu stood on the roof of the main building, looking out at the familiar wasteland.
Alas... the scenery here is just not as beautiful as the green grassland.
With a gentle wave of his hand, the Ant-Man undead slowly advanced forward.
He wants to pass through these wasteland areas and collect all the resources wherever he passes.
When the undead moved, Li Ziyu casually put down a soul base station, along with some conventional buildings.
A stronghold was set up.
This way the next time he comes over, he won't have to check the coordinates while moving forward.
Li Ziyu wanted to return to the central area and did not want to stay in these wasteland areas for too long. He could just collect resources while walking.
As for conquest, it would take a lot of time and was not in line with his current thinking.
As Ant-Man's undead advance, the indigenous people feel that the end is coming.
The number of Ant-Man's undead was so great that the natives simply could not muster the will to resist.
They trembled and hid in the tribe, watching the mighty Ant-Man undead approaching from a distance, constantly gathering all kinds of things, from food, to wood, and even larger stones.
.
These greedy guys will not let the tribe go!
Just when everyone in the tribe felt angry and desperate, they strangely discovered that those guys did not enter the tribe, they were just passing by the tribe.
Huh?
No attack?
By the grace of our ancestors, we are still alive!
When the undead Ant-Man left, all the tribesmen cheered for the survivors.
Only after experiencing this overwhelming fear experience can they feel the joy of survival.
Ancestors above... Um, ancestors, first of all, where are our ancestors?!
The tribesmen sighed with emotion as they walked out of the tribe, and then froze.
The cemetery where their ancestors' bodies were buried has disappeared...
No, that is not accurate. The cemetery is still there, but the body is gone!
The bodies of all the tribesmen were gone, leaving only large and small holes on the ground.
"Damn it! These guys dug up the corpses of our ancestors!"
"Fight them!"
"For the ancestors!"
At this moment, the indigenous people were angry.
They roared, clamored, and took up weapons. Even though they knew they couldn't defeat them, they still wanted to exchange their lives for their ancestors.
Just as they were about to leave the village, a child stood up and looked at them.
"Get out of the way, we are going to take back the bones of our ancestors!"
"Those are our ancestors. Without them, what will we do? Who will protect us?"
The aborigines had red eyes and wanted to drive the child away, but the child timidly said, "Is it possible that this is the protection given to us by our ancestors?"
His words made the originally angry aboriginal people suddenly quiet down and fell into a daze.
The protection of ancestors?
Standing on crutches, the trembling elder walked up to the child and asked softly, "Child, have you received the revelation from your ancestors?"
The child shook his head, looked at the elder with a pair of big bright eyes and said, "I feel that this is the protection of the ancestors. Otherwise, why did so many terrifying guys not attack us, but just took away the remains of the ancestors?"
The elder wanted to say something, but when he opened his mouth, he found that he could not refute this sentence at all.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Indeed, what he said makes sense and is true.
There are so many terrifying guys, and you don't need to fight them. As long as you pass through their tribe, you can easily trample the tribe they established into ruins.
But those guys bypassed the tribe, and no one passed through the tribe.
No one was hurt, no one died.
Isn't this the protection of the ancestors?
Yes, this is the protection of the ancestors!
The elder believed this.
It's just that the other party is too strong. Even if the ancestors want to protect them, they have to sacrifice their own remains.
The elder felt that he had become enlightened.
He reached out and touched the child's head and said to him, "You are a wise child, tell me what we should do next."
The child thought for a while, then looked around the area that had been looted by the Ant-Man undead, and said, "Don't chase them. We need to change places. There is nothing around here. We have no food."
The elder looked at the child in surprise. He raised his head and looked around. Indeed, as the child said, everything around him had been looted and was in a mess. As far as the eye could see, there were no more resources for them to live.
Migration is inevitable!
"The child is right, we have to leave!"
"We cannot let our ancestors down!"
The elder said to the tribesmen.
The indigenous people woke up from their anger, recognized the reality, and reluctantly agreed.
Such things happened to Li Ziyu along the way.
Of course, not every tribe has children or wise men. There are always some tribes that feel that they are very strong. Even when faced with endless Ant-Man undead, they still rush forward full of passion.
As a result, the aboriginal people who rushed up turned into corpses and were sent to the Fortress of the Undead.
Walking and collecting along the way, little things add up, and a lot of resources have been collected, including a lot of skeletons, which are the cemeteries of various tribes.
Ant-Man's undead will pass by once and for all, not to mention other resources, but digging graves is certain.
With tens of millions of Ant-Man souls in tow, Li Ziyu's return was delayed a lot.
During this period, he also kept in touch with Zhang Peng, constantly communicating about changes in the situation in the central area.
Although they have a territory, Li Ziyu knows that the rat people will not give in.
No force will honestly give up a piece of territory to others.
The same is naturally true for the rat people.
They were a large family and their resources were not enough. Due to the rules of the central zone, they reluctantly ceded the land.
After developing trade with the undead, the rat people have gained a lot of benefits, but it is these benefits that allow the rat people to see the "richness" of the undead.
This gave them some bad thoughts.
Looting is always easier than exchanging.
Li Ziyu was afraid of this, so he never cut off contact with Zhang Peng, for fear that something would go wrong.
Although there are a lot of undead left behind, the Rat Man is not a weak being. If a fight breaks out, the soldiers and horses he left behind may not be able to stop the undead.
If the territory cannot be defended, the losses will be great.
However, things turned out very weird and did not develop as he imagined.
With the help of Zhang Peng, Sayil, the nail that was planted among the rat people at the beginning, developed extremely rapidly. The rat people nobles highly respected the Bliss Potion, and Sayil's wealth accumulation and status also increased, becoming the nobles' favorite.
A distinguished guest.
He can get a lot of valuable information from the mouths of the Skaven nobles.
The news about the strange behavior of the rat people was reported by Sail.
The rat nobles want to plunder the undead, and many rat nobles have even secretly contacted them to prepare for war with the undead.
In their eyes, the resources possessed by the undead far exceed the cost of war.
As long as you can plunder the undead, launching a war is an extremely appropriate thing.
Because Sail has the closest relationship with the undead, they often ask Sail about the undead.
At Zhang Peng's suggestion, Sayer also revealed some, but the core secrets of the undead were unknown to the rat nobles.
Just as the rat nobles continued to unite and plan to start a war with the undead, the central area was in chaos.
The cause is not because of others, but because of the Rat Man himself.
The rat people are a very strange race.
They were once extremely weak beings who relied on wisdom and technology to grow.
Even though they became a powerful clan in the central area and owned a vast territory, they did not forget that when they were weak, they always had a sense of panic in their hearts.
This sense of panic makes them continue to research more war technologies, and they also have conflicts with the surrounding races from time to time.
They need to maintain the combat effectiveness of the army and continue to train the army.
But this time, it was chaos caused by a small-scale battle.
According to what Zhang Peng said, it seemed that the rat tribe had developed some kind of weapon and wanted to test the power of the weapon. Just like what they had done before, they started an undeclared war and started a war on a large scale.
What the Ratmen didn't expect was that the weapon seemed to have some unpredictable results, causing the small-scale war to suddenly expand and move in an uncontrollable direction.
The rat tribe launched small-scale wars and provoked various tribes. Other powerful tribes had long been accustomed to it, and they didn't even think it was a big deal, and they thought it was a good thing.
The rat people need to train their troops, and they also need it. It's just right, let's cooperate and train their troops.
But when the Ratmen's weapons developed uncontrollably, the situation changed.
It was a weapon with the ability to spread infection. The speed of infection exceeded the Ratman's expectations, causing the battlefield to expand.
What’s even more confusing is that the Ratman’s weapons also led to some more severe consequences. After other powerful tribes counterattacked, the weapon’s attack destroyed the space and caused space cracks.
Space rifts are not a big deal. Back then, Li Ziyu had reached the Land of the Void through space rifts and met Beebta.
The problem is that behind the space crack opened by this uncontrollable small-scale war is not the void, but connected to another world - the abyss and purgatory!
The devil's lair!
As an alien world that focuses on developing magical power, they also have knowledge of other worlds, and Abyss Purgatory is one of the famous demon lairs.
What's even worse is that the demons in the Abyss Purgatory discovered this space crack, and used magic to stabilize the space crack, refusing to let the space repair itself, and conveniently built a portal.
As a result, countless demons poured into the central area and continued to spread.
This is a devil, one of the legendary natural disasters!
The only good news is that the level of these demons is not high, and they have not formed an army. The central area can resist them and will not be overwhelmed by the demons.
But if the portal is still there, there will be more and more demons, and there will even be powerful ones at the level of demon lords.
If a lord-level demon appears, it means that the demon army is coming!
During the time that Li Ziyu left, the central area was so lively and the whole place was in chaos.
The rat-men's infectious weapons still have sequelae, and they continue to spread, with an increasing scope of influence.
The demons escaped from the abyss and purgatory, disrupting the originally peaceful central area and breaking the tacit understanding between the powerful clans.
The two together triggered new conflicts, escalating conflicts between various ethnic groups, and the central area became extremely chaotic.
The war is raging.
Fortunately, the place where the war is occurring now is far away from the undead territory, and has not yet affected the undead territory. There has been no loss on the undead side, and everything is business as usual.
Li Ziyu, who received the news from Zhang Peng, couldn't help but sigh, "Everything in the world is unpredictable."
Originally, he was still thinking about what to do after he came back, whether to start a war with the Rat-Man, but the tens of millions of Ant-Man undead did give him great confidence.
Unexpectedly, before he knew what to do, the central area was in chaos.
This opportunity has just come.
In terms of the skill of seeking death, Rat Man is considered to be fully equipped, and this wave may not mean that he will be outplayed.
Li Ziyu asked Zhang Peng not to get involved in the war for the time being, but to stay calm first, not to stop trading, and to collect more resources to prepare for future wars.
Yes, Li Ziyu feels that there will definitely be a war in the future. No matter how he speculates, the fire will burn the undead this time, and he cannot stay out of it.
As for the specific situation, we have to wait until he returns to the central area.
Although Sayer delivered the news, there are still many doubts in the news. You still need to be cautious until you understand it clearly.
Zhang Peng had no objection at all, he also had the same idea.
What is the relationship between the various ethnic groups in the central area and their undead souls?
Except for the rat people, other races have nothing to do with their undead, and have not even seen them.
However, transactions are transactions, and trade is trade. Zhang Peng asked Sayer to expand the scope of transactions and collect as much information as possible!
