Chapter 817: Whereabouts Exposed
Leaving the ice crevasse and continuing to fly north for a hundred miles, only a few scattered traces of the undead began to appear in the wind and snow.
The traces of these ice and snow undead with white snow as their flesh and bones were inconspicuous against the white background, and if it weren't for Lin An's keen perception of the negative energy fluctuations on their bodies, he would almost not have noticed that there were undead under those slow-moving small snowdrifts on the ground.
Instead of staggering across the snow like skeleton zombies, they are buried in the relatively loose upper layers of snow, which is a natural instinct.
From the perspective of tail law research, the fallen undead archmage was able to study such an ice and snow undead with constant talent according to local conditions, and his attainments in the field of undead were unmatched in this plane in the contemporary era.
Due to the Gangfeng layer and the absence of Zi Athena's flying clouds, Lin An's flight altitude was only one foot above the ground, and almost after sensing the negative energy fluctuations of the ice and snow undead, he entered the perception category of a low-level ice and snow undead.
The small snowdrift that was slightly bulging in the front abandoned snow immediately fluctuated, and then quickly moved in the direction of Lin An.
Lin An was a little surprised, she and the ice and snow undead were about eleven or twelve zhang apart, and at such a distance, the low-level undead actually sensed her existence so quickly, and this range of perception was a little terrifying.
Then she remembered the surrounding environment, the undead made of ice and snow obviously had a bonus on the ice field, and it was not surprising that the perception range was strong, not to mention that Lin An did not hide his aura.
In this brief thought, the bulging snowdrift had already come closer, and under the cover of the suddenly exploding snow particles, with a low roar full of hatred, a white humanoid object pounced on Lin An.
Lin An waved his hand calmly, and a green light turned the undead into a snowdrift in mid-air, but when the surrounding snow fell one after another, Lin An took a few steps back.
When the negative energy on the ice and snow undead is defeated, it will automatically be dispersed, and more than ninety percent of the body will be turned into a pile of ice and snow, except for a piece of energy core, which is sharp and prismatic, and the surface is full of cracks, and the energy inside is almost scattered.
The harvest from the remains of this low-level ice and snow undead is nothing more, its body composition is clear at a glance, and even the inside of this energy core containing negative energy is not complicated, it is only composed of a few simple magic patterns and more than a dozen magic symbols, if there is time and tools, Lin An can immediately parse out its internal magic patterns.
But it is precisely because of this uncomplicated that the ice and snow undead are afraid of complications.
Because with such a simple structure, others can't understand how the ice and snow undead are transformed and created, and the more the undead archmage simplifies the energy structure in it, the more confusing it becomes.
This was also expected by Lin An, if the ice and snow undead were so easy to be discovered, they would have been analyzed a long time ago, how could the northern front be defeated.
She didn't want to be able to deconstruct the answer immediately, and after trying to find nowhere to start, she put the broken energy core into the space, and then worked with Titi to find other ice and snow undead.
After a magical hour, she and harvested ten intact cores of energy that were scattered, most of them lost, and completely damaged, all from the largest number of humanoid ice undead she had first encountered.
At this time, she finally saw the true face of the lowest-level ice and snow undead, not so much in human form, but in human form... He has a gun profile on all fours, with only one mouth on his head and no fingers or toes at the ends of his limbs.
This reminded Lin An of the legend of Nuwa creating a man in his previous life, and he felt that this kind of ice and snow undead was the kind of defective product that was randomly whipped in the snow and the snow mass that splashed up automatically roughened and formed.
Well, in fact, it is impossible for the undead archmage to achieve this kind of power, and these undead should still be transformed one by one, but Lin An has been thinking about the transformation method of these ice and snow undead in his mind, and combined with the imagination of the two lives, he can't help but think of a ridiculous place.
Later, they encountered some more advanced undead, who had some armor pieces made of ice cubes on their bodies, and their limbs were clearer, although they did not have facial features, they looked like they had elbows and wrists, which were closer to human limbs.
Their instinctive intelligence is also a little higher, and instead of using a single move forever like those of the lowest undead, they can't wait to chase after the living people as soon as they see them, and then pounce out of the snow, but wait in place, disguised as immobile snowdrifts, waiting for their prey to walk into the trap.
Although when it got closer, it was still the old trick that came out of the ground, but it clearly showed the evolution of intelligence, and in terms of appearance and other aspects, this kind of undead was obviously an evolved version of the lowest-level ice undead before.
Although the magic power used to solve them still did not exceed their primary version, Lin An still sternly said: What is more terrifying than the army of the undead that roams the mountains?
That is, these undead can evolve on their own.
Lin An thoroughly understood that the war on the Northern Front had been repeatedly defeated, and the things shown by these low-level undead alone were already very profound and terrifying: if she had only regarded these ice and snow undead as half-undead and half-constructed human products before, then now, she had to admit that the undead archmage had indeed succeeded in creating a new type of undead that could evolve on its own, even if it was impossible to evolve to a higher level due to innate limitations, but from the perspective of magic, This is undoubtedly a new kind of undead.
"Is the world going crazy?" Lin An's mind was in a mess.
The creation of a new undead race, this is as fantastical as the creation of a new life race, there are countless mages who have tried to set foot in this field, but there is still no ancient, and the results of the undead archmage, if placed in the plane of the rule of the undead race, may be enough for him to become a god directly!
What could be easier to create a new deity than to create a race and become the deity they worship?
"No, no, no, I must have gotten something wrong!"
Using the power of magic to wash his head, Lin An calmed down, thinking that he must have misunderstood.
Although the information obtained from Kronos and the Guardians was vague, Lin An was certain that if the undead archmage really created a new undead race, then even if he was not at the same level, he would definitely forcibly raise his level under the will of the law, ignite the divine fire, and obtain the priesthood, and it would never be possible for him to die in the hands of her and Titi.
Therefore, these ice and snow undead will never evolve automatically, and if they can, I am afraid that they are also mixed with the interference of human factors, and they are not natural evolution.
"It can't be natural evolution, so this can't be a new species of undead Well, this may be the entry point for research, which can give Salin an inspiration for their research" Lin An muttered to himself, took out a note and wrote it down, and put it in the Ring of Artemis.
Titi came back from a distance, swept lightly across the snow, and handed Lin An a few pieces of energy cores, and the ice and snow undead samples that Lin An asked to capture were still unsuccessful, so Lin An had to go out in person.
Slowly chanting the incantation, unfolding a scroll, and with the successful casting of the second-level necromantic spell of "Order Necromancy" transcribed in advance, a stream of gray-black energy shot like a tentacle, shooting towards a lurking snowdrift not far away.
In the perception, the strong hostility of the spell casting target towards her was transformed into kindness, and before Lin An could be happy, the spiritual imprint formed by the successful spell casting suddenly collapsed!
Lin An's spiritual power quickly calmed down the spiritual power backlash caused by the failed spell casting, but he found that the snowdrift not far away had exploded, and there was no doubt that the ice and snow undead inside was also finished at the same time that the spell mark collapsed.
"It's not because of the problem of the original owner's spiritual imprint of the ice and snow undead, my spiritual imprint has not been resisted, which means that this ice and snow undead has not been controlled, not to mention that with my spiritual power, even if I encounter the main undead and is expelled by erasing the mark, it should be the other party."
With one hand clenched into a fist on his chin, Lin An said to himself, "So, there is only one reason, this kind of ice and snow undead is really not a pure necromancer, the commonly used necromancer spells cannot summon them, and they must be controlled by improved special spells!" "Yes, definitely!
If the control power of the ice and snow undead can be snatched by the guò spell, then other mages can also snatch the control power of the undead, and they will never let the demon undead army advance step by step and be defeated again and again.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sigh: "If you don't experience it personally, you really can't understand the complexity and suffering of the war on the Northern Front, just such a half-day observation, these ice and snow undead have already revealed so many hot hands, no wonder so many strong people have gathered together, and they have nowhere to start against the army of the undead!" "With natural abilities, it is difficult to parse the structure, it is suspected that it can evolve, and it is impossible to use spells to snatch the few advantages that Lin An has discovered so far, all of them are extremely hot, and when combined, they are more like an armor with no weaknesses, blocking the enemies who are trying to disintegrate them, except for the point of its unnatural evolution, which can barely become a breakthrough point.
This would be a huge setback for any mage trying to crack the mystery of the ice undead.
Especially Lin An, with the profound knowledge left by Kronos and the Guardians, even in her own comprehension law, she has not encountered too many obstacles, and it took a long time for Huā to notice a focus that she didn't know if she could break through, which was definitely a failure for her.
The undead archmage's attainments behind the realm of the undead were like a tall wall in front of her.
Lin An suddenly realized that even with an incomparably solid and extensive foundation, she was still nothing compared to those old monsters who had lived for hundreds of years, the former had left the branches she had developed and cultivated on the magic tree, and most of what Lin An had obtained so far was still the shadow of her predecessors.
Do I really know which path the future is?
Lin An asked himself.
