Chapter 223: The Corpse Demon Lord Xie Ming! The Scroll of Creation of Resurrection Items!

Corpse Demon Territory.

There is a place called the Buried Bone City.

This city is huge but lifeless. The whole city is surrounded by rune walls and barriers. There are no common buildings in it, only large and small graves and densely packed tombstones.

There is a pale pointed pyramid located in the center of tens of thousands of tombstones. The entire pyramid is made of bones, emitting a cold and dead starry atmosphere.

This is the only starry building in this city: the "Dead Bone Altar".

Skeleton Gan Ning finished his training and woke up from his exclusive tomb. When facing the cold and gloomy city without a trace of life, the soul fire in his empty eye sockets dimmed slightly.

This "Burial Bone City" is the nest of the Dead Bone Clan in the territory.

It is also the big tomb of all native humans.

The land ruled by the lord.

There are no living people anymore.

In order to survive and not be swallowed by the abyss, to integrate into the territory ruled by the Lord, and to fight against the increasingly powerful evil Sun Jian at that time, all the people of this land were forced to choose collective transformation.

Is it right or wrong to do this? Is it really worth abandoning the previous way of life, even race and birth, for the sake of survival? Gan Ning is still not sure!

"Xingba!"

A spiritual voice came from behind.

"Do you also feel the Lord's breath? The Lord should have descended on the Buried Bone City. Let's go to see the Lord!" Skeleton Su Fei walked over.

Gan Ning cut off his wild thoughts.

Even if he lost his body and sensory functions.

Even if he could only sleep in a cold grave and could not return to his previous life.

But at least he and his brothers survived, his relatives, friends, and most of the people in Jiangxia County are now lying in this Buried Bone City. It is better than complete destruction or being completely swallowed by the abyss, right?

Whether it is for himself.

Or to protect these people.

There are reasons to continue fighting for this territory.

From the moment they were transformed into the Bone Clan, from the moment they swore allegiance to the Lord, there was no turning back.

Skeleton Gan Ning and Su Fei came to the Star Blessing Point near the Bone Altar, and Huang Zu and his generals also arrived.

Several figures descended here.

Among them, the one in the center had the strongest aura. He was tall and strong, and looked like a human, but he had five eyes, and the one located between his eyebrows was the largest and weirdest.

Even in a closed state, people can feel the suffocating oppression. Even a strong man like Gan Ning would be affected by this pressure, which shows how strong this evil corpse demon is.

His skin was covered with purple magic patterns, and he wore a black robe with complicated runes, a huge and gorgeous dark red cloak, a majestic dark gold crown on his head, and a long staff inlaid with pale gems in his right hand.

Evil Ming!

The Lord of the Blood City.

The supreme ruler of the territory.

This corpse witch lord named Xie Ming not only has powerful strength, but also has quite impressive forces behind him.

He is not only ambitious, but also cunning, patient, so he can use the evil lord route to gradually transform the natives into undead for his own use by bewitching, deceiving, and guiding.

Although Xie Ming's territory is not large now, he has completely digested tens of thousands of indigenous residents in the three maps, turning them into dead bones and burying them under this land, so that the territory's foundation has grown rapidly, and the current strength should not be underestimated.

Dozens of dead bone tribe generals such as Skeleton Gan Ning, Huang Zu, and Su Fei knelt in front of the corpse demon lord.

Huang Zu asked: "The lord has come in person, what instructions do you have?"

A corpse demon general beside the lord, wearing a closed helmet and heavy armor, explained: "The Dark Blood City has already discussed how to attack the human territory, and the lord came for this!"

Huang Zu hurriedly said: "I see! Please give orders, lord!"

Lord Xie Ming said indifferently: "Huang Zu, you lead all your troops to assist Hui Xiu in fighting in Woniu Mountain from now on and seize the stronghold of the human lord in the Woniu Mountain area!"

Hui Xiu is the black-armored corpse demon general.

This person is a professional general hired by Xie Ming from the stars. Not only does he have a very strong personal strength, he has also received the blessing of the stars, thus awakening several luck skills.

Although it is only the lowest quality white luck skill, it can be said that a general with luck skills and a general without luck skills are two completely different concepts, and the difference in value is ten times or a hundred times.

Su Fei then hurriedly asked: "What is the mission of this general and General Gan Ning?"

Although Huang Zu and Gan Ning are both members of the Corps of the Dead, Gan Ning is not under Huang Zu's command and is not under his direct command.

Gan Ning said: "I heard that there is a very powerful general in Shansang City who can stop General Huang from advancing even a single inch. I may be able to sneak into Shansang City and kill this general to prevent General Huang from returning empty-handed again."

"Gan Ning, you..."

Huang Zu's soul was burning with anger.

He naturally heard the sarcasm in Gan Ning's words.

Lord Xie Ming said, "You don't need to participate in the battle on Woniu Mountain. I have more important arrangements for you."

Gan Ning said, "Please give me your instructions, Lord!"

Xie Ming said, "We know that there is a place called Wancheng in the human territory. It is densely populated and has many hidden dangers. Your mission this time is to sneak into Wancheng while the battle on Woniu Mountain is going on."

While speaking.

He waved his hand.

A monk came up.

He held a box with many seals in his hand.

"This is a divine source material obtained by the master by chance. This thing is extremely precious and rare. If it is used as a sacrifice, it can summon a large-scale death barrier. It can not only quickly kill the population in this area, but also convert them all into our reserve forces!"

Gan Ning's eyes were full of fire.

The lord wants to transform the original humans in the human territory into undead?

Although from the perspective of the lord and the interests of the territory, there is definitely no problem with doing so, but Gan Ning feels a little uncomfortable.

Xie Ming keenly sensed Gan Ning's mental changes.

"What? Gan Ning, are you unwilling to carry out this mission?"

"I dare not!" Gan Ning quickly clasped his fists and explained: "I just think it seems unnecessary to transform everyone into undead. After all, these natives are different from us who were desperate at the beginning. They may prefer to continue to survive as mortals."

"Bold!"

Hui Xiu immediately rebuked.

Huang Zu also took the opportunity to say: "Gan Ning, you are such a traitor, how dare you question the Lord? We are now a member of the Undead Clan. You don't care about strengthening our clan and territory, but you speak for these outsiders. Don't you have any ulterior motives?"

"General Gan is loyal to the territory and there is no way he would have any ulterior motives!"

Su Fei hurried out to smooth things over, "Xingba, why don't you admit your mistake to the Lord!"

Xie Ming: "Gan Ning, you must know that the land and city we live in are not suitable for ordinary people to survive. Only by transforming them into the same kind can they be accepted by the territory, otherwise what awaits them is eternal death or eternal descent into the abyss."

Pain!

Almost at the same time.

An indescribable intense pain spread from the depths of the soul, as if the soul was thrown into purgatory and roasted, almost exceeding any torture in the world!

Even with Gan Ning's will, he couldn't bear it and trembled involuntarily.

He understood that this was the star imprint deep in his soul at work.

There was no room for negotiation on this matter.

And he couldn't disobey the lord's will!

"Yes!" Gan Ning lowered his head: "I will definitely execute the lord's order!"

In fact, Xie Ming was also very puzzled. Gan Ning's personality was flamboyant and unruly, and sometimes it was not very convenient to use him. But it stands to reason that after being transformed into a dead bone, his "humanity" should be constantly worn away over time.

Seven years!

Such a long time.

Huang Zu, Su Fei and others have long recognized their new race and identity.

Only Gan Ning seems to have not been completely tamed, and this situation is really very rare.

On the one hand, this is certainly related to his strong personal will, and on the other hand, it is probably because the luck gathered in this person is very strong.

If he had not been transformed into a dead bone and directly joined the Stars Camp, the luck skills he could awaken would definitely be very powerful, and would definitely be far better than professional generals like Hui Xiu in the Stars Land.

However.

It's not a pity.

Even if it happens again.

Xie Ming will still set up a plan to turn him into a dead spirit, otherwise it will be difficult for this person to be completely used by himself.

Xie Ming was somewhat envious of the hostile lords, probably because they were also human, so it was very convenient for them to recruit local talents.

According to the existing intelligence.

He had at least three top talents under his command. If any of them could get to the Land of Stars, they would be fought over by the great lords of all parties, and they would be top talents worth millions of magic crystals!

With so many top talents.

It was no wonder that he could withstand the last round of attacks.

However, Xie Ming did not think that the lord on the other side could continue with such good luck. His confidence was nothing more than these super natives. The development potential and war endurance of the human race itself were too weak.

Before coming to the Buried Bone City.

Xie Ming conspired with his confidants on many strategies to deal with the human territory, as well as the subsequent tactics, and made many preparations.

These self-confident corpse monsters.

In the final analysis, they did not take a human territory seriously at all.

They did not consider whether they could win, but how to win, how to minimize the cost and maximize the benefits.

Some confidants suggested to directly launch a large army to push forward in one go, and end the war in the most efficient way. Some confidants also suggested to continue to try surprise attacks and sneak attacks to end the war at the lowest cost.

These opinions are valuable.

But Xie Ming did not fully adopt them.

Although his subordinates looked down on the enemy.

But he clearly realized that even if the enemy was human, he could not be careless. Countless previous experiences told him that even the weakest opponent could be fatal.

Xie Ming had not yet fully grasped the strength of the human lords of Luoshui City, nor could he accurately assess the opponent's military strength.

Under such circumstances, he would not easily leave or launch a decisive battle, so as to avoid huge losses on his side due to insufficient intelligence work.

As for the surprise attack?

This trick would definitely not work!

After Gan Ning's attack failed, the human lords would definitely strengthen their defenses. If they did it again, not only would the success rate be lower, but they might also fall into the trap set by the opponent and cause more losses.

Xie Ming decided to use a more stable tactic.

Start with the population.

Start with the territory!

Population and territory are the foundation of the territory and the foundation of the lord!

The strength and power of a star lord depends directly on the population size and the number of territories he controls.

Xie Ming is ready to attack the human territory from these two dimensions, letting Hui Xiu and Huang Zu lead their troops to continuously erode the blessing points of Woniu Mountain.

The human lords can only have two reactions.

The first is to sit back and do nothing.

As the blessing points and territories are lost one by one, the strength of the lords and their strategic mobility, military deployment and delivery capabilities in the Woniu Mountain area will decline, which will make the subsequent operations more passive.

The second is to lead troops to counterattack.

The human army is not strong and it is difficult to train. If they leave the fortified city and run out to fight in the field, it is equivalent to giving up the defensive advantage of Shansang City.

At present, the Corpse Witch Territory is still in the protection period. Xie Ming does not need to worry about being ambushed or the strongholds in his territory being seized, so he can firmly grasp the strategic initiative.

In this way, by taking advantage of the number and scale of troops and the quality of ethnic troops, the human army can be quickly consumed, and the opponent will soon fall into a dilemma.

Of course.

Xie Ming's plan will not be so simple.

When the attention of the human lord is attracted by the battle for territory.

Gan Ning will lead a group of acolytes and secret guards, use secret methods to bypass Woniu Mountain, cross Baihu Mountain, and quietly enter the human-occupied area of ​​Wancheng.

The Wancheng map is the farthest place from the Woniu Mountain map, and it is also the most densely populated and has the most troops.

From common sense, the difficulty of attack is the greatest.

Xie Ming just wants to do the opposite. He predicts that the main combat forces and generals under the command of the human lord are in Shansang City and the main city. It is impossible and unnecessary to deploy too powerful characters in the Wancheng area.

Gan Ning's shadow march can easily enter it.

Thus, a large-scale population elimination plan is implemented.

When the territory is lost one by one, when the population is eliminated on a large scale, the lord will be rapidly weakened, and the strategic depth of his territory will be continuously squeezed.

Finally, find the right time to launch a decisive battle.

It will definitely be able to establish victory in one fell swoop!

Xie Ming floated up from the ground, stopped at the top of the Great Altar of the Dead Bones, and then slowly raised the long staff in his hand.

"Wake up!"

"My loyal servants!"

The pale pyramid shook violently. This star building of the undead race was working, and a great energy was injected into the Buried Bone City.

The next moment!

Tombs were opened one after another.

One after another, skeletons walked out of them.

About three thousand skeletons, their eyes were beating with vigorous soul fire, and each had a strong aura.

When Huang Zu, Su Fei and other skeleton generals saw this, they all showed great joy. The lord awakened a brand new army, which not only made up for the loss of the last war, but also further enhanced the scale and strength of the Undead Legion!

"It cost a lot of magic crystals again... but it's worth it!"

Xie Ming returned to the ground from the Great Altar of the Dead Bones.

He was very satisfied with the neatly arranged new skeleton army.

The Bone Altar is an extremely expensive and rare third-level building exclusively for the Undead.

Its purpose is to transform other races into the Bone Tribe.

These transformed people are native to the plane.

So they do not occupy additional land population.

However, in order to maintain a large army of the Undead, there will be continuous consumption in the process, so Xie Ming ordered most of the Undead servants to sleep in the Buried Bone City.

On this basis.

Xie Ming deployed a large number of Yin-gathering tombstones.

These special buildings and formations can nourish the sleeping skeletons.

Let these skeleton soldiers be like cellared fine wine. The longer they sleep, the higher their strength level.

In addition, after a long period of sleep, the Undead Skeleton will completely lose its humanity and memory, and become the most loyal puppet people in the territory, which is no different from the direct family members recruited directly.

This is the lord of the evil route!

Theoretically, as long as Xie Ming is given enough population resources and a long and stable time, he can create a super army of hundreds of thousands or even millions!

So let alone the inferior races that are not worth mentioning.

Even if he faces the superior races in the future.

He can also sweep the army!

"Go!"

"Spread death!"

"Fight for the territory!"

Huang Zu, Su Fei and other dead skeleton generals felt the powerful aura of Xie Ming, and the soul fire in their bodies trembled violently. They did not dare to look directly at this pressure and knelt on the ground.

Gan Ning felt confused when facing the newly awakened dead spirits.

He could not feel the breath of human beings from these dead spirits. They could not even be called intelligent creatures anymore. They had become dead things without self-awareness and wisdom.

When he accepted the transformation ceremony.

The lord promised that as long as he changed his form, he would not age or get sick, nor would he be hungry or thirsty. He would have an infinite lifespan and be more suitable for survival in this world.

But now it seems.

The price seems to be much greater than imagined.

Aren't all those relatives and friends in the past...

Gan Ning didn't have time to think about it, because his soul was aching again. From the moment he turned into this form, it was difficult for him to get rid of the influence of the lord, and fighting for the territory became his only destiny.

After making good arrangements, this powerful evil corpse demon lord left the burial city.

A large-scale army of dead bones set out again.

The war between territories started again.

…………

At the same time.

In the main city of Luoshui.

Hang Yu is continuing to deal with the internal affairs of the territory.

The top priority is to upgrade the hall facilities as soon as possible.

The territory hall includes the core hall, hero hall, trading hall, etc.

If the territory hall can be upgraded to the third level, the core of the territory will become stronger. In addition, the number of hero units that can be contracted and the market that can be traded will be more, which is of great significance to the development of the territory.

At that time, it is only necessary to build a third-level main city wall and three third-level skill towers, and the second-level barracks in the territory will also meet the upgrade conditions, and Hang Yu can upgrade the second-level abyss barracks in the territory to the third level.

At that time, the population limit can be doubled!

The problem now is that there are not enough magic crystals and materials.

"Just to upgrade the territory hall, a total of 80,000 magic crystals are required, plus 40,000 third-level material essences!"

Hang Yu felt very troubled, "I am currently recruiting a large number of players, and I am also acquiring blueprints to build and upgrade various facilities. The current magic crystals are already stretched to the limit, and adding tens of thousands of third-level material essences is simply embarrassing me, Fat Tiger!"

Third-level material essences are too scarce.

After all, only materials dropped by third-level monsters can be transformed into this essence.

High-level materials can be degraded into low-level material essences, and low-level material essences usually cannot be synthesized into high-level material essences, unless you have extremely rare and expensive star building facilities with material synthesis functions.

Although the territory currently has a batch of third-level materials in reserve, most of these third-level materials are very valuable, especially the third-level blue quality materials. It would be a waste to convert them into essence.

Just when Hang Yu was thinking about the magic crystal and materials.

Xiao Ba suddenly reminded: "Master, Lord 3244 is contacting you. It seems that it has found the required props."

What?

So fast!

Hang Yu immediately opened the communication interface.

Lord 3244 sent the detailed information of a prop.

[Creation Scroll], a third-level rare consumable, blue superior quality... Introduction: This scroll can summon the power of the stars to descend the creation array. When the soul is injected into the creation array, it can make the physical body create and regenerate!

Really found it?

Hang Yu showed a look of surprise.

He said, "Didn't we agree on two days? It's only been less than a day!"

Lord 3244: "You're lucky. I have a friend who is a high-ranking lord who happens to have a Scroll of Creation. If I hadn't had some friendship with him, I wouldn't have been able to make this deal."

No doubt about it.

Rare items are very rare.

Such things are definitely not cheap.

Even though Hang Yu can't be said to be very poor, he is very tight on money, and he was a little unsure for a while.

He asked, "What's the price?"

Lord 3244: "60,000 magic crystals at a time!"

Even Hang Yu felt a little stuffy when he saw this number.

If it was a top-level blueprint sold at this price, he could still accept it, but for a prop item, or a disposable consumable prop, this is really a bit too outrageous.

Lord 3244: "Don't think it's too expensive. Resurrection props are extremely rare. Only top-level lords have the opportunity to get some. This thing can't be bought with money."

Hang Yu: "This price is way over budget. To be honest, my territory is currently recruiting tens of thousands of people. In addition, the investment in territory construction is also huge. It is not easy for me to turn over such a large amount of magic crystals in a short time."

Lord 3244: "To be honest, my friend is a real boss. He doesn't lack this little magic crystal, so he won't accept a bargain."

Lord 3244: "But if you really want to make this deal, there are other ways."

Hang Yu asked: "Please advise."

Lord 3244: "I can help you pay for this magic crystal directly, and even give you a 10% discount, but the condition is that you have to pay the equivalent attribute medicine at the market price, how about it?"

This method is not impossible.

Hang Yu saved some magic crystals.

And this lord can also take more attribute medicines.

"Yes, but I don't have enough pills in stock at the moment. Can the transaction be postponed for two or three days?"

"No problem!"

Hang Yu has recently distributed a lot of attribute pills to the Scourge Army during the mission, and sold a batch two days ago. The stock of Dragon Blood Pill is indeed insufficient, but fortunately the production capacity of the alchemy workshop is strong, and it should be replenished in two days.

The two sides formally reached a consensus.

Hang Yu also had some good feelings for this 3244 lord.

This guy is indeed quite righteous. Although he must have benefited from both sides in this transaction, he is generally restrained and not black-hearted, and he has indeed solved a lot of troubles for Hang Yu.

Return to Shengcang City in the future.

If there is time and opportunity.

You can consider making friends with him offline.

As for the cost of 50,000 or 60,000 magic crystals to revive Jia Xu... The cost is indeed a bit outrageous, but Hang Yu believes that he will not regret it. The value of Jia Xu's existence cannot be measured by magic crystals.

Problems that can be solved with magic crystals.

In fact, they are not big problems.

The real trouble is Dian Wei in the old Wancheng.

In fact, with Hang Yu's current ability, he has already mastered the ability to eliminate him.

But if conditions permit, Hang Yu still doesn't want to eliminate him just like that. After all, it's not easy to meet a general of this level. If there is a chance to take him into the territory, it would be a pity to give up.

Of course.

It's too difficult.

The territory does have a way to reverse it.

But according to Hang Yu's estimation, at least three divine source materials must be collected, plus the pure soul crystal exploded by Cao Ang, and a resurrection item to achieve the goal.

Other things are easy to say.

Materials containing divine source are rare.

This kind of thing can't be bought with money, and even if it can be bought, Hang Yu certainly can't afford it. After all, all the top bosses and legendary lords will be very interested. This level of existence will have a lot of magic crystals flowing out of the fingernail, which is a huge sum for Hang Yu.

What can I use to compete with them?

Hang Yu didn't have a good solution, so he could only wait. Anyway, he was not in a hurry to conquer the core contaminated area. Although he had the initial confidence to defeat Dian Wei, the Scourge Army did not have the ability to enter the old Wancheng.

At this time.

Zhou Cang suddenly came in and reported: "Lord, a large number of undead troops appeared in the north of Woniu Mountain!"

Hang Yu was slightly stunned when he heard this: "This corpse witch lord is really restless. It is estimated that the second wave of a larger-scale offensive is about to begin. If nothing unexpected happens, they will find a way to seize more strongholds this time."

Zhou Cang asked: "How should we respond?"

Hang Yu said: "This is not a bad thing. We can't attack their territory for the time being. If they shrink inside and don't come out, this lord has no way to deal with it. Now most of the strongholds in Woniu Mountain are empty cities, which can attract enemy soldiers to gather and annihilate them."

The actions of the enemy lords are all within expectations.

Hang Yu's response is also simple.

Let the Scourge Army fight for the battle.

Lose one.

Take one back.

Repeated tug-of-war consumption.

The enemy lord may not know that the Scourge cannot be consumed. By the time they react, they must have suffered heavy losses. At that time, the territorial protection period will end, and Hang Yu can immediately launch a counterattack.

Just in time.

Hang Yu is short of money.

Large-scale war is one of the most profitable ways.

"From the last battle, I see that the opposing lord's style of using troops seems to like to take into account both the real and the fake, and to defend the orthodox while being surprising."

"So in such a high-profile attack on Woniu Mountain."

"He is likely to secretly arrange another surprise force."

Hang Yu thought for a while and said: "The surprise attack on Luoshui City failed, and it is highly likely that they will not try a second time in a short time. The strategic value of the surprise attack on Baihu Mountain is not high, so the place where a surprise force can be deployed and can bring huge benefits is Wancheng, which has the largest population, the farthest distance, and is the most difficult to attack."

Zhou Cang was stunned for a moment: "Isn't Wancheng dangerous?"

Hang Yu: "Don't worry, Wancheng is too far away to project too much power, and it is likely to rely on Gan Ning's shadow march to infiltrate, but with Jia Xu there, it shouldn't cause too much trouble."

This time, the enemy lord must have deployed more troops to Mount Woniu.

Hang Yu decided to upgrade Zhou Cang and Wen Pin to the highest level 30, and then optimize their equipment and skills to ensure that Shansang City would be safe under any circumstances.
