"Ouch!" Ange roared, and the violent soul impact enveloped him. The heads of the mice digging for seeds in the field exploded one by one, and they died all over the ground.
"Eh? Rat? Why are there rats here?" Serena said in surprise.
"Are there no rats here? How can there be no rats in such a large mountain range?" Nigris was surprised.
"Of course not. I come to the mountain often and I have never seen a mouse. Look at how desolate this mountain is. What can mice eat to survive?" Serena said.
That's right, they are not undead. Although rats are tenacious, they still need to eat to survive. The mountains are full of rocks and there is almost no vegetation. How can it be possible to keep rats alive?
"Then where did these mice come from?" Nigris asked curiously.
A weak and erratic voice came from the depths of the cave. It said weakly and timidly: "Yes... I brought it here. I didn't know that this is your place, sir. I don't dare to do it anymore. I won't do it anymore."
I don’t dare anymore.”
Following the sound, a cloud of smoke floated out from behind a stone in the cave. Its shape was erratic, and it floated forward timidly.
"Undead?" It turned out to be an undead: "Did you attack him?"
Ange shook his head. He didn't notice the other person at all. Under the impact of his soul, the undead was no different from those mice, so he couldn't notice it.
Undead and lich are both advanced undead creatures because they possess wisdom.
Skeletons and zombies must reach the level of golden skeletons and tin zombies before they can have intelligence, but their intelligence is relatively low.
Lich undead are different. From the moment they are born, they possess wisdom. If they are reincarnated from other intelligent creatures, they can still retain the memory and knowledge of their lifetime.
This gives them a greater advantage than zombie skeletons and has become the backbone of the undead.
Almost all the high-level officials of the Undead Empire are undead and lich, with a few exceptions, such as Bone Rock.
Among them, the number of undead is far less than that of lich. There are several lichs in Lich City, including Feilin and Lisa. Lan in Ice City is also a lich, but there is not a single undead in the entire Abyss of Rest. This shows that the undead are born.
of difficulty.
The undead are undead creatures that are purely condensed by their souls. Their souls are naturally more condensed than others. Even at a low level, they have greater advantages than skeletons and zombies of the same level.
However, this advantage was not apparent in front of Ange. The soul impact was not directed towards him. Ange did not even notice its existence, but the undead was almost dispersed.
Floating in front of Ange, the undead said timidly: "Yes... I'm sorry, sir, I didn't mean it. I really didn't know this was your thing. My pets were hungry and happened to find something on the ground.
So...so..."
"Did you raise the mouse? What's your name?" Nigris asked.
"Sir, my name is Fe... Ferick." Ferick responded.
"Why are you here?" Nigris asked.
"I am a businessman and I am preparing to go to human territory to purchase goods." Ferick said.
"You businessman, what are you doing with rats when you go out?" Nigris asked in confusion.
Ferick hesitated for a moment, glanced at Ange, and said helplessly: "Sir, this is my secret. There are many fissure caves in the central mountain range. Although some are small, you can still pass through them. My pet
Can you help me smell the passable passage?"
Although he was reluctant, Ferric still answered truthfully. Nigris used his soul to tell Ange: "He seems to have misunderstood something. He may have mistaken us for local advanced undead creatures."
This is also normal. Ange is originally a golden skeleton. His soul strength alone can suppress Ferick. What's more, he is an immortal god. Among the undead creatures that are classified according to their soul strength, Ange is completely unparalleled.
That kind of thing, it's normal to scare the other person.
Understanding this, Nigris knew what to do and asked: "You are a businessman, so what do you mainly deal with? Where are your goods?"
Ferick took out a space ring heartbroken and thought to himself: "We suffered a big loss this time. Why did we encounter a high-level king? Let's forget it and spend money to prevent disaster."
As an undead merchant, Ferick's soul is not very strong, probably equivalent to the level of a gray skeleton. For undead, this is already the lowest level. If it is any weaker, it will not even be able to condense its soul.
This is also why the number of undead is so rare. They must have the strength of the soul of a gray skeleton as soon as they are born. Without this strength, there is no way to be born.
However, Ferric has soul strength but no fighting ability. He was an accountant when he was alive. After becoming an undead, his accounting ability is useless and he is worse than an ordinary magician.
Although he could learn knowledge quickly with the Holy Fire of the Undead, he didn't want to be loyal to any undead saint, so naturally he couldn't get such an opportunity, so in the end he just became a businessman.
Anyway, he is immortal, so even if he loses money in business, he will not starve to death.
To be a businessman, of course you have to go to the human world. There is no business among undead creatures. They sleep for three months out of four months and only get up and move at night.
However, when going to the human world, the central mountain range has become a natural barrier. Humans have set up many warning towers, defense towers, soul towers, etc. on the top of the mountains to specifically restrain undead creatures. As an undead, it is difficult for him to get over it.
On the contrary, ordinary humans will not be detected by the soul tower. As long as they avoid the nodes of the defense tower, they can turn over. It doesn't matter even if they are discovered by the warning tower.
The soul tower is not good. The monitoring range of the soul tower is too wide, and it specializes in killing souls. Even if you are a high-level king, it is difficult to resist the soul tower's killing alone.
Therefore, if you want to cross the Central Mountains, you must find another way.
By chance, Ferick discovered that rats have a very strong ability to find roads. They can also find some ditches and ravines to crawl through in places where there are no roads. So he kept a few rats as pets, specifically to use them in finding roads.
Wayfinding in the Central Mountains.
I came to the Central Mountains again today, and I was about to take a break and feed my pets. Unexpectedly, I discovered a piece of freshly cultivated land. As soon as the pets were released, they went straight to dig seeds in these fields.
"I guess they were planted by the humans at the bottom of the mountain. They can't eat much. Let's compensate them with something else." Ferick was already ready to compensate, but who knew that a high-ranking king suddenly rushed in and said angrily?
Remember the soul impact.
It was no longer a soul impact, it was simply a soul storm, sweeping through like a storm. Even what he was hiding behind the stone was also affected. If he hadn't been blocked by the stone, but had been impacted from the front, that just now would have been affected.
He'll explode in no time.
Such a high-level king is more terrifying than the several undead saints he has seen. Ferick no longer dares to think about anything else. He must be obedient, otherwise he will cry if the other party uses his soul to do something.
No more tears.
Seeing him take out the ring from the smoky body, the little angel ran over curiously and wanted to poke it with his finger, but was stopped by Ange.
It was not noticeable from a distance, but when he got closer, Ferick felt a terrifying power of holy light from the little angel.
What a terrifying power of Holy Light? Saint? This high king can actually control the Saint of the Church of Light? Ferick's heart was beating wildly, and the movements of his hands suddenly sped up a lot.
"This is a spiritual picture album, this is a human chivalry novel, this is a castrato's song recording stone, this is a banshee's spiritual talisman, this is Dragon Quest chess, King Rock poker, this is a ghost alarm clock..." Ferick said while
While introducing, he took out a lot of strange and strange goods.
Nigris looked at it curiously and couldn't help but ask: "Why are most of them entertainment and cultural products?"
Ferick responded: "These things are easy to sell, but you can't bring daily necessities back, right? My space ring can't hold much, and it can't be sold at a high price."
Nigris nodded, he understood what Ferick meant. For undead creatures, they don't need to eat, so they naturally don't need food, nor do they need daily necessities such as pots and pans, let alone a four-piece bed set.
s things.
The only real need may be various entertainment supplies. After all, for an immortal life, how to kill time is the most troublesome. You can't sleep every day.
Chivalry novels, singing stones, chess and cards, etc. are very popular.
"What are the spiritual albums and the ghost alarm clock used for?" Negris asked in confusion.
Ferick glanced at the little angel, leaned closer to the brass dragon, and whispered: "Of course it is used for that. There are several series, the Duke's Wife, the Smooth Saint, oh, and the Eighteen of Transforming Dragons."
This posture is more suitable for you. These are sold to humans and sell well. Once opened, they can trigger spiritual illusions and make them lifelike."
"Sir, you know that undead creatures are very strong in spirit and are best at illustrating spiritual picture albums. Such a picture album only requires 300 magic crystals and is sold to humans in short supply."
Nigris was so excited that he was curious about the eighteen postures of the shape-shifting dragon.
"As for the Wraith Alarm Clock, it's just an alarm clock. Some humans are very lazy and can't wake up in the morning and can't sleep at night. They need something to stimulate them. Set the time, and the Wraith in the alarm clock will howl when the time is up, even if it's ten days.
Even those who haven't slept can be woken up by howling, and then they will be cooled from the top of the sky to the soles of the feet, which is very useful."
"It can also be used for daily reading and study. The wraith howls to ensure wakefulness."
Hearing this, Nigris couldn't help but sympathize: "Isn't this too cruel?"
"Okay, most people will throw it under the bed after buying it and won't insist on using it. If human beings can persist in using it, they don't need an alarm clock at all." Ferick said with a through tone.
"That's right, are there any other good things?" Nigris asked.
"Well, don't all these adults look down on you? I'm just an ordinary undead merchant, and that's all the good stuff." Ferick shook the ring and said casually:
"There is only one bag of grain seeds left in the ring..." As soon as they finished speaking, Nigris and Ange came over and asked with twinkling eyes: "What grain seeds?"
"Well, it is a food seed specially cultivated by humans and adapted to the growing season of this plane. It is planted during the eternal night. It will sprout after the end of the eternal night and mature in two and a half months. It can be harvested before the arrival of the next eternal night. The root system is particularly large.
, can take root deep into the soil, does not require watering, and can grow on surface water. The yield per mu is very high, 220 kilograms."
"The yield of two hundred and twenty pounds per mu is considered high? Just this, compensation, and forget your offense this time." Nigris said in surprise.
Ange already has grains with a yield of over a thousand kilograms per mu, and even the salt water magic rice has a yield of six to seven hundred kilograms per mu. When he heard that the yield of two hundred and twenty kilograms per mu was said to be 'very high', it was really shocking.
Can't understand.
Ferick was so moved that he almost cried. He asked in disbelief: "Really? But this thing is not very valuable..."
A small bag of grain seeds was worthless at all, except that it was a bit difficult to cross the mountains. However, it was something he asked the farmer for while doing business. The high-ranking king actually didn't want anything else but such a worthless thing.
Naturally, he didn't think that Ange was only interested in grain. He simply thought that the King was kind and didn't want to bully him. He was so moved.
He hurriedly put the grain seeds into Nigris' paws, and Ferric asked cautiously: "Sir, can I leave?"
"Leave, where are you going?" Nigris asked by the way as he threw the seeds to Ange.
"I'm going to the human world on the other side of the mountain." Ferick said.
"That's just right. Let's go along. You can lead us. You have been back and forth so many times. You should know which road can be safely crossed." Nigris said.
Ferick was in a dilemma. To be honest, he was not very willing. The route over the mountain was his secret. If the route was known to others, wouldn't he have a lot more competitors?
At Negris's instruction, Ange took out ten soul crystals and handed them to Ferick.
"Dear King, I am happy to lead you. Don't worry, the route I, Ferick, explore is safe and secret. I can definitely bring you to the other side of the mountain safely." Ferick promised excitedly.
"But sir, you have too many people and one horse. I'm worried that there are some places where we can't get through." Ferick said.
"You are the horse. Your whole family is a horse. You are blind. See what this is..." Lightning hit his head hard, but before he could finish his words, Ange stuffed him into the Palace of Rest.
The rest of the people were stuffed in one after another, including Negris, leaving only Ange himself outside.
"My lord, the space is so big, let me hurry up." Ferick sighed with emotion.
Some space items can hold living things, such as the silver coin grocery store, which originally held world saplings to find elves. As long as they are taken out before the air in the space is exhausted, everything will be fine.
I can only sigh that the space in Ange is so big, even a horse can fit in it, and there is still enough air to breathe.
Under the leadership of Ferick, Ange followed twists and turns through several tunnel cracks, climbed up and down the mountain wall, and finally crossed the entire mountain range after six or seven hours.
"I just said that the road I led is safe and secret. Sir, after passing through this dense forest, you will see the human mushroom town in front of you." Ferick said.
As soon as Ferick finished speaking, there was a sudden whistle, and a group of paladins emerged from the surrounding woods. The leading paladin laughed loudly: "Hahaha, we caught an undead! Hey, there is another person following?"
PS: I have had perfect attendance for three months. I have been writing books for 19 years and I have never been so diligent. My mother-in-law cannot survive the epidemic and no one can help me take care of the children. Ouch!
