Chapter 300: Mine Mutations
After what had happened in the mine, the human overseer realized that this place was unusual.
Since Bracada completely blocked all knowledge about necromancy, if he wanted to study necromancy, he had to rely on the mage to find a way to study it on his own, except for finding a few records in the classics.
The experiments carried out by human overseers on the corpses of orcs are also equivalent to the most primitive exploration of the field of necromancy. Over time, if he has a good talent for spell-casting and continues to explore like this, he will be able to comprehend the primary spiritualism.
But unfortunately, the situation here has been reported by the village chief, and Elon has already learned about the situation here, judging from the talent of human overseers, he has not mastered any necromancy, but only has some superficial understanding of it.
When the orc slave died, the human overseer knew that the corpse could not be left inside the mine, and if it wasn't for the fact that the other orc was dizzy, the human overseer would have asked the rest of the villagers to remove the corpse from the place.
The only good thing is that with the persuasion of the village chief, the human overseer quickly calmed down, and nothing unusual happened inside the mine.
At this time, the human overseer was outside the mine, asking the ordinary villagers who had been waiting to come in and remove the corpses of the orcs.
During the absence of human overseers, the hands of these orc slaves continued to dig through the walls of the mine without stopping.
The punishment of the human overseers had penetrated deep into the hearts of the orc slaves, and even in his absence, they had no intention of resting. Even the orc who originally launched the attack, after facing death, was honest and didn't dare to think about it anymore.
As if he was worried about what would happen to the corpses here, the village chief didn't say anything at this time, just waiting for the rest of the villagers to come and deal with it. Rhodes, on the other hand, seemed to notice something, and looked towards the wall of the mine where the orcs were digging.
Soon, the sound of hurried footsteps, along with the sound of a pickaxe in the hands of an orc slave hitting the mine wall, reached Rod's ears. The human overseer has led the other two villagers back to the mine and asked them to remove the orc corpses from here.
At this time, the two villagers who came in had already lifted the orcs on the ground and wanted to transport them outside the mine.
The villagers were a little disgusted by the orc corpses, they thought that the human overseer had called them to let them delicately dispose of the crystal ore that appeared in the mine, but they didn't expect that they would be asked to dispose of a corpse.
According to the mining technology of the orcs, if they are just allowed to mine freely, then no matter how rare the minerals are, they will be damaged. For these minerals, the half-orcs will not have the slightest feeling of cherishing in their hearts.
In order to prevent the minerals from being damaged by the orcs, these villagers outside played an important role, and the revenant crystals that Rhodes had seen at the village chief's house were actually finely mined by the villagers.
The villagers were extremely disgusted with the orc's corpse, and were a little frightened by what had happened before, but they could only follow the orders of the human overseer to transport the orc's corpse away.
As they leaned down and lifted the orc's body, the mutation occurred.
Due to the long delay, as the orc slave carved a hole in the mine wall, a rich death energy emerged from the inside of the hole, and then, this death energy was directly injected into the body of the orc slave on the ground.
The speed at which the death energy appeared and disappeared was extremely fast, only Rod and Rowling sensed this, and even the village chief standing on the side only vaguely felt a little unusual aura, but he couldn't tell what it was.
Rhodes didn't say a word, just looked at the mine wall ahead. The orcs had no idea what they were doing, and still mechanically wielded the pickaxe in their hands.
As if sensing a slight vibration in his hand, a villager who was carrying the corpse couldn't help but glance downward, only to notice that the orc corpse was twitching his hands and feet.
This discovery startled the villagers, and regardless of the previous orders of the human supervision, they directly released the hand carrying the corpse and wanted to run towards the passage.
However, the half-orc undead, who had just adapted to his body, directly reached out and grabbed the fleeing villager, while biting violently.
For a moment, this half-orc undead, who had just been a corpse, but now awakened to attack, brought a strong shock to the creatures inside the mine. Not only were the villagers who came here frightened, but even the former human overseer was reluctant to fight the creature at this time, and was ready to flee towards the passage outside.
The only one whose face has not changed should be Rod in the field. When the orc spirit awoke, Rhodes turned his gaze to it. Sensing the state of the orc undead at this time, Rhodes realized that it had been completely transformed into an undead creature.
Under the fierce bite of the half-orc undead, the original villager could not hold on for long and died directly. Feeling the dissipation of life, the half-orc undead immediately gave up the corpse in their hands and turned their attention to those ordinary half-orcs in the rear.
The instinct of the undead creature makes it attack all living creatures, and these original creatures are no exception.
When the orc undead rushed towards the slaves behind them. Just as it was about to attack the slaves, it suddenly seemed to have noticed something, and its whole body dodged sideways, dodging a magical arrow that shot straight at its back.
The releaser of the magic arrow was the village chief beside Rod, and in order to avoid causing more losses, the village chief naturally would not let this orc undead attack other slaves.
However, the magic arrow released by the village chief was directly dodged by the orc undead. The orc undead paid no attention to the village chief who released the magic arrow, and continued to pounce towards the position of the orc slave.
In an instant, the orc undead was directly among the slaves. In life, the strength of this half-orc was no different from that of other half-orc slaves, but now, in the face of this half-orc undead, the surrounding slaves seemed to have no resistance, and in a very short period of time, they were killed by a large number of them.
The remaining orc slaves also had a great deal of confusion at this time. Under the threat of death, the group of orc slaves did not care about the possible punishment, threw aside the pickaxe in their hands, and fled towards the outside of the passage.
