Chapter 223: The Ceremony Begins

Before going to the Changping battlefield, Xiao Han had a guess that because of the large number of deaths here, even if decades have passed, the souls of the war dead will definitely not all dissipate.

However, after coming to the Changping battlefield, the real situation here was a little beyond his expectations.

Not only did the souls of these war dead not dissipate, and, looking at the situation here, the quality of these souls would probably exceed his expectations.

With the intensity of the dead aura here, if someone dies here at this time, the soul will not dissipate immediately.

If the body is buried here again, the soul of the dead will sink into the ground, and unless the dead air dissipates here, the soul will always exist.

Now, in front of Xiao Han are hundreds of thousands of ownerless souls full of resentment and death.

This is one of the best undead materials.

In addition, disembodied ghosts, when faced with some creatures, can attack in groups and launch suicidal soul attacks.

Even those high-level beings can't ignore this kind of attack.

This is something that the physical undead cannot match.

In this way, at least in high-level battles, these ghosts can still be useful.

Unlike skeletons and zombies, although they look infiltrating, as long as they overcome the fear in their hearts, a skeleton soldier, even if they are an ordinary person, has the ability to fight with them.

And for the living beings, those elusive ghosts are much more terrifying than those who can see and touch the undead.

Xiao Han wandered around the Changping battlefield for a while, surveying the environment here.

The eerie and infiltrating aura here on the Changping Battlefield for ordinary people felt a little kind to him, a necromancer.

The environment here is really rare, he has traveled through three worlds, and he has never encountered such a place where the air of death lingers.

It's really a huge amount of dark energy, and as long as he triggers it slightly, I'm afraid he can evoke a wave of undead natural disasters.

A little excited in his heart, after Xiao Han surveyed the environment, he immediately began to arrange the undead summoning ceremony.

Speaking of which, summoning different undead requires different spell preparations.

Skeletons are the easiest, requiring only dark energy.

The necromancer infuses a corpse with dark energy and casts a spirit imprint on the newborn undead, and in this way, a basic undead creature of all, the skeleton soldier, appears.

If you want to strengthen the skeleton soldiers into advanced units such as skeleton warriors and skeleton shooters, it is not difficult, you only need more dark energy, and the necromancer's reshaping of the skeleton soldiers in the process of strengthening.

This is also the origin of the bone knives, bone shields, bone bows, bone arrows, and bone armor of the skeleton warriors and skeleton archers.

These weapons and equipment of skeletons can be forged from necromancers.

It can also be a bone weapon generated by the skeleton soldier itself, but it only consumes additional dark energy.

As for zombies, unlike skeleton soldiers, who only need dark energy, zombies require a certain amount of flesh and blood in addition to dark energy.

If it is a fresh and intact corpse, it is even better, and the steps of stitching are omitted.

Rotting zombies and plague zombies require necromancers to inject various deadly viruses and bacteria into these ghosts, and then ripen and ferment them through dark energy.

The zombies that come out in this way are not only able to withstand more damage, but also carry extremely deadly toxins themselves.

It's not the machetes they carry that are scary of these disgusting things, but the deadly viruses they carry in their bodies.

If you are cut by these zombies, even if you are not hacked to death on the spot, the wound will be festering and infected, and all kinds of unknown deadly germs will invade, which is much more terrifying than a cut wound.

As a ghoul that looks somewhat similar to a zombie, it is actually very different.

Zombies are real dead creatures, and the zombies that are awakened are all newborn undead creatures.

Ghouls, on the other hand, are different.

They are cursed, as a form of punishment being.

Those who greedily covet the necromancer's tomb, and the living who offend the necromancer, are drained alive and imprisoned in the dead.

The punishment of these souls, the extreme distortion of their spirits, and the curse of hunger that has been inflicted, make these inhuman monsters hate living beings and are filled with a thirst for flesh and blood.

Sometimes, hungry and uncontrollable ghouls will even have their eyes on the carrion on the zombies.

On the battlefield, these ghouls are the craziest dogs, and even the most ferocious beasts are less aggressive.

The method of making ghouls is a bit too cruel, although Xiao Han can do it, even if he needs the ghoul class, he doesn't plan to make it himself.

At most, it consumes the source point and summons it through an artifact.

As a low-level undead class, it can almost be said that the strongest spirits that are immune to physical attacks, it is more troublesome to summon them.

A ritual is needed.

A ritual that transforms necromancers who are full of negativity into the service of necromancers.

Wraith Sacrifice Ritual.

The souls of the dead who reside in the world because they are full of resentment and do not want to go to the underworld are hunted by powerful necromancers, and then transformed by rituals and engraved with spiritual imprints, becoming a powerful and terrifying force in the hands of wizards.

Rumor has it that there was a powerful necromancer who controlled countless ghosts and killed a noble angel alive.

The howl of Hades unleashed by countless ghosts cannot be ignored even by those who are high above.

And now, Xiao Han is preparing to perform this ceremony here.

The magic array had been inscribed, the bone pillars had been erected, and a dilapidated and strange tower suddenly appeared on the battlefield of Changping.

Everything needed for the ceremony has been gathered.

As for the items to be sacrificed, the place is so rich and full of dead air that it is just right to serve as a sacrifice.

Xiao Han stood on top of the tower, six skeletal pillars built with a six-pointed star array, alienated from this space, and the terrifying death qi like a substance served as a sacrifice for this ceremony.

And above the tower, countless looming revenant magic arrays were linked to Xiao Han's feet.

Xiao Han squatted down and lightly pressed the ground with his hand, and a faint green and treacherous light flashed on his palm.

The light flickered stronger and stronger, and flowed down the magic pattern, enveloping the entire ruined tower.

After a while, the six skeletal pillars around the tower also shone with the same light.

For a while, the Changping battlefield, which was originally just dead and desolate, with occasional gusts of wind swept by, suddenly became completely dark.

Tomorrow, the sun will shine in the sky, standing in the Changping battlefield, but it is like seeing through a veil, and the sky and the earth are dark.

Moreover, although it is not a scorching summer in June, it is also sunny and hot.

But in this Changping battlefield, it was cold and cold, and silver frost was everywhere, and the air turned into frost.

In particular, the abandoned tower staged an August snowfall.

As the temperature continues to drop, the color of the yin wind becomes darker and darker, and from time to time there are some inexplicable sounds, appearing in this forbidden place.

Like horses' hooves, like golden drums, like shouting and killing, like wailing, like cursing, if it weren't for the fact that this place was empty, outsiders would have thought that there was a great war going on in this place.

In the middle of the tower, some vague figures began to appear from time to time.
