Chapter 2101: A Gathering Place for Geniuses
Just as Lin Jiu guessed, Isabella had already come into contact with the Undead Clan. The place where the Undead Clan was located was the territory of the Kingdom of Tis. After the Shengyao Empire annexed the assets and wealth of the Kingdom of Tis, the important factor that did not annex this land was that this was the territory of the Undead Clan.
It’s just that the Undead Clan has been sleeping in the tomb for a long time. The royal family of the Kingdom of Tis reached a contract with the undead of the Undead Clan before establishing the country here. After the death of the royal family of the Kingdom of Tis, they directly transformed into a member of the Undead Clan.
In order to harm themselves and not benefit others, the royal family of the Kingdom of Tis transformed into the undead and awakened the entire Undead Clan, turning more than half of the territory of the Kingdom of Tis into the land of the undead. The Shengyao Empire could not invade and could only take away the material wealth.
Although the cemetery where the Undead Clan is located is not as tragic as the dead land eroded by the power of the dark demon, it can also be said to be an uninhabited place, and has been shrouded in the cold breath of death for a long time.
It was so quiet that only the whisper of the wind and the sigh of the dead were left. Every inch of the land was permeated with deep sorrow and despair. There were also tombstones brought by the undead. Wherever these undead stayed for a long time, the ground would be assimilated by the cemetery.
Some of these tombstones were carved with complex patterns, while others were simple and unadorned, but they all revealed the vicissitudes of time and the heaviness of history. The grass between the tombstones was withered and yellow, as if it had been deprived of vitality by the breath of death, and only sparse wild flowers swayed in the wind.
The atmosphere at night was even more terrifying. The moonlight was pale, like the gaze of the god of death, shrouding the land in a layer of gloomy light and shadow. The shadow of the tombstone stretched on the ground, like the ghost of the undead wandering, looking for a way home. There was an indescribable chill in the air, as if it could penetrate the skin and reach the bone marrow.
This was a cemetery on the surface, and the real place where the undead lived was in the underground tomb. This made Isabella, who was used to living in a room, very uncomfortable. Even though the underground tomb was not a real "tomb", but a secret place formed by the gathering of the power of the dead, Isabella still had a lot of dislike.
The tomb of the dead seemed to be the boundary between life and death, filled with an indescribable weird atmosphere. The stone walls were cold and rough, and it seemed that you could feel the traces left by the years when you touched them. These stone walls have gone through thousands of years of wind and rain, witnessing the disappearance of countless lives and the whispers of the dead.
The air was filled with an old and damp smell, mixed with the smell of soil and decay, which made people feel a sense of depression and uneasiness involuntarily. This smell seemed to penetrate into people's bones, making people feel the coldness and heaviness of death.
Occasionally, you can hear a burst of low echoes, which were the dead telling their last wishes and unwillingness. These voices echoed in the tomb, intertwined with the echoes of the stone walls, forming a sad underworld movement. Cold and solemn are the "main melody" of the tomb of the dead.
Isabella came into contact with a female undead named Rosie, who was a member of the royal family of the Kingdom of Tis. Through her, Isabella learned a lot about the situation of the undead.
It can be said that the power situation of the undead is most similar to that of the demon creature camp, the biggest enemy of the Yimi Continent. Demon creatures are divided into two parts. One part is the high-level demons with the invasion of the continent as the core, leading the army of demon creatures under their command, and the other part is the high-level demons born for various reasons. They have their own pursuits and desires, and will contribute to the invasion of demons, but more often they are satisfying their own desires, such as the flame demon Hephis killed by Qing.
This structure can be seen as a war-type high-level demon + demon creature army + desire-type high-level demon. The structure of the undead is very similar to this situation. The Kingdom of Tis was destroyed, but the royal family members turned into undead, including the core team.
That is, this part of the royal undead with the Skeleton King as the core formed a force. They still have many obsessions with the human empire and are keen to cause trouble for the Shengyao Empire. The Skeleton King is even more ambitious, eager to rule the empire again as an undead. Others who became undead for various other reasons, like those desire-type demons, have their own obsessions, and are not the same "people" as the undead of the Skeleton King.
Among the undead, there are "higher undead" with both wisdom and strength, and there are also a large number of ordinary undead who died due to wars, disasters, etc. and turned into undead after death. The current goal of the Skeleton King is to unify the undead and create an undead empire.
For this reason, the Skeleton King has established the Church of the Undead, which is opposed to the Holy Glory Hall, and uses the Death Bell as an intelligence organization to spread the undead doctrine to humans and seize faith.
But it is not so easy to unify the undead, because the birth of the undead is inseparable from the obsession before death. And the obsessions of those higher undead are different, and even conflict, which is a difficult problem to solve. Isabella learned from Rossi that there is even an organization in the Undead Clan that specifically opposes the rule of the Skeleton King, which is different from the Demon Camp.
After all, the core purpose of the Demon Camp is unified, that is, to erode the Yimi Continent. The Undead Clan has a similar structure, but it still has internal differences like the Aolo Tribe and the Cangyue Alliance. It is even worse than the Aolo Tribe, the Cangyue Alliance, and the Shengyao Empire. These three forces are at least a unified force, while the Undead Clan can only be regarded as a race.
After understanding the general situation of the Undead Clan, Isabella has a rough plan for her actions here. Those high-level Undead who are very difficult for the Skeleton King and have different obsessions are not just individuals... uh, genius, think of a way to form a whole small organization.
After Lin Jiu contacted Isabella, he let her do what she wanted, but he felt it was a pity. Looking at the sun flame covering the grass garden, if the Yangyan Divine Bird Clan still existed, with his sun camp charm value, he could master this power in a minute.
In the communication with Lucy, the God of Dreams, Lin Jiu knew a lot of news before the era, including the Yangyan Divine Bird Clan that had disappeared, which was similar to the dragon clan living in seclusion overseas, and the strong ones among them were comparable to gods. It’s a pity that the Yangyan Volcano, the old nest of the Yangyan Divine Bird Clan, is a place where fire elements always exist, and it has become one of the main attack areas of the demon army. The ending of the Yangyan Divine Bird Clan is much more tragic than that of the dragon clan.
[You have killed the demonized creature...]
[You have obtained...]
[You have killed the demonized creature...]
……
……
As the sun flame burned more and more, the demonized creatures continued to die under the sun flame and Lin Jiu’s arrows, and the killing prompt sound kept coming to my ears. Although the source of the world provided by these demonized creatures is very small, at least it is not completely gone. A little bit adds up to a lot, which is also a good income. The key is that this income is easy to make, just like picking it up for free. The Cangyue Alliance has to thank him.
"Thank you, Lord Chiyou." Melo was relieved to see that the fire was under the control of Lin Jiu and would not spread outward at all. He approached the grass garden and thanked Lin Jiu.
"It doesn't matter, these demonized creatures are minor problems. The key is..."
"Roar!" Just when Lin Jiu was saying that the demonized creatures were minor problems, a loud noise interrupted his words. In the grass garden, the dark energy exploded, suppressing the golden sun flame. This rich energy gathered together to create an imposing demonized creature.
Lin Jiu frowned: "You are the one who interrupted me, right!"
