The bones of the wheels turned and pressed against the ground. The fortress of the undead slowly approached the mountain and stationed at the foot of the mountain. The skeletal undead swarmed out of the fortress and explored the surroundings. Although they said that this was a geomantic treasure land, the exploration that should be done was still
Don't let it slip. Who knows what's going on here? The information is constantly being sent back to Li Ziyu in the main building.
As more and more information came in, Li Ziyu's expression gradually became weird.
The information sent by the undead skeletons showed that there were many auras of creatures around, all of which were wild beasts. The higher you went up the mountain, the stronger the auras became. There were even faint glimpses of magical beasts and demonized creatures, but there was indeed no discovery of any.
The breath of life of the indigenous tribes.
There are auras of life such as wild beasts, but there is no aboriginal life aura. Does this mean that there are really no aborigines around, or does it mean that the scope of exploration is not large enough?
Li Ziyu was very confused. If what Tastulin said was true, then these beasts could be stronger than the aboriginal people. Otherwise, why they could survive around the Dead Souls Mountains but the aboriginal people could not, it was unreasonable.
It's a bit weird. What exactly is going on? I have to do an experiment and hunt an ordinary beast to see what the difference is.
With little effort, several undead skeletons came in from the outside carrying a wild boar and threw the wild boar down. After the undead left, several people gathered around to inspect the wild boar.
"Boss, this seems to be an ordinary wild boar. I don't think there's anything strange about it." Liu Xingxing touched the wild boar carcass and made a cut with a bone knife. He looked at the blood flowing out and finally confirmed that this
It's just an ordinary wild boar, the kind that's not too big.
Mou Mou nodded in agreement.
Li Ziyu didn't find any abnormalities. He tried to decompose the system and found no problems. It decomposed normally and found nothing special in the materials he was given. He sat back on the big bone chair, frowning and saying nothing.
"Boss, what's wrong? You've been acting weird ever since." Liu Xingxing was confused and came over to ask.
"Xingxing, don't you feel that there is nothing wrong, everything is normal, and that is the biggest abnormality?" Li Ziyu said, still frowning tightly.
"Boss, what's wrong with you? You're sick, you're confused. Nothing is wrong. That's the biggest abnormality. I'm confused by you." Liu Xingxing said with a wry smile.
"Tasturin said that this is the Mountain of the Dead, and tribes that come close to it will be cursed. Then why are the animals okay, not dead, and living quite well?"
"The animals are fine, but the tribe is not. Why?"
"Does the curse have an effect on certain tribes, or does it only target intelligent creatures? There are many animals around us now, and there seem to be monsters and demonized creatures on the mountain."
Li Ziyu rubbed her temples and expressed her speculations and worries.
The undead themselves don't have anything to fear. After all, they are different from normal creatures. The soul fire is not extinguished and the undead are immortal. The curse should have no effect on the undead. But what about the tauren, cat people, himself and Liu Xingxing?
They are not undead!
When Li Ziyu said this, Liu Xingxing came to his senses, his face changed, and he became a little worried. He must be the boss and thinks more, so it makes sense.
"Then what should we do now?" Liu Xingxing was a little timid and asked uncertainly.
"Otherwise, send the undead out to explore and we can go a little further?" Tastulin thought for a while and gave a suggestion.
Well, this is a good suggestion. Let the undead go to the mine first, and wait for others to stay far away. Find resources first, and then figure it out slowly.
Li Ziyu accepted Tastulin's suggestion after some thought. They still don't know what the so-called curse is.
In previous lives, most people would have smiled at the curse and not taken it seriously. After all, the so-called curses can always be explained scientifically, so that they lose their mystery and become no longer
fear.
But this is a different world, supernatural powers are real, curses are real, and they can kill people invisible, so there's nothing wrong with being cautious.
Especially if they don't know whether the curse is severe or chronic, they need to be even more careful.
The skeletal undead dispersed and entered the mountains, as if they had spread out a large net, looking for possible clues.
He was busy until dawn, and the undead returned one after another, as usual, and found nothing. Li Ziyu had no choice but to enter hibernation mode first, and wait until night to talk. He also specifically told Liu Xingxing and Mou Mou to run away if anything happened.
Don't stay here, escape with your life first.
The two of them had nothing to do and nodded in agreement. Even the boss said so, so what else could they say.
After the undead buildings retreated into the ground, the sun rose and a new day arrived.
Liu Xingxing, Mou Mou and Tusturing stood on the bone plate platform and looked around, only to realize that the scenery was completely different from last night, which even made people wonder whether this place was a wasteland.
They were at the foot of the Revenant Mountains. There were far more trees here than elsewhere. Looking up at the mountains, they saw even more shades of trees and lush vegetation. It was green, not like the desolation in the wasteland. Insects and birds were chirping in their ears.
Full of the rhythm of life.
"Tastulin, are you sure your inheritance is correct? Do you call this the Mountains of the Dead?" After staring for a long time, Liu Xingxing suddenly turned his head and pointed at the mountains and asked.
Tusturing was also at a loss and became uncertain. In the inheritance, the Soul Mountain Range was a land of death, with jagged rocks and corpses everywhere. It was strange and gloomy, and lifeless, which was completely opposite to everything in front of him.
The Revenant Mountains in front of them seemed to bring together the most beautiful aspects of the entire wasteland, making people want to live here. Eyes full of green, you can hear the cheers of life, smell the moisture of water vapor, and those tender green grass taste much better.
The delicious food is something Tasturing has never seen before. Just think about it and you will know how comfortable it would be to live here.
But how could the inheritance of ancestors go wrong?
This is indeed the Mountain of Dead Souls mentioned in the tradition!
If it weren't for the Dead Souls Mountains, such a beautiful place, why there weren't any tribes around it, it makes no sense at all.
"Okay, don't worry about it so much. Since our ancestors have inherited it, we just need to be more careful. Don't be fooled by the outside. There may be great horrors." Mou Mou came between the two people, separated them, and made peace.
said.
At the beginning of a new day, there are still many things they need to do, and they must be more cautious than before to avoid accidents.
Liu Xingxing didn't want to quarrel with Tastulin, he just complained. After all, everything in front of him couldn't be connected with the words "mountain of dead souls".
He also had his own plan. He didn't sleep last night, so he wanted to take a nap first to regain his energy, and then drive the fortress to patrol around and explore what was around him.
The last time he came here, he didn't dare to get so close. At that time, it was quite far from the stronghold of the Swamp Cemetery. Now he has to study it carefully.
After saying hello to Mou Mou and Tusturing, Liu Xingxing took Ha Qie back to his fortress to sleep.
The tauren also have their own things to do. They have to wait for their tribesmen to wake up and tell them about the situation here.
