Chapter 56: The Undead

Han Bing stood on the top of the hill, looking at the island. After a few days of busyness, Stormwind City had a glimmer of life, and the disciples used the resources brought from the Zhao Kingdom to build rows of neat and exquisite attics.

The site around the attic, where there was a mountain of rocks and garbage, was also cleared. The thunderwood tree species planted by Han Bing back then has now grown into a small sapling, swaying left and right in the sea breeze.

On the coast, in the Sea of Death, the wind did not stop for a moment, the sea was rough, and the huge waves were swept by the wind, crashing against the steep rocks on the shore in waves. This wind doesn't look like an ordinary wind, and the scope of divine consciousness exploration inside is extremely limited, and because of this, it is difficult for the great supernatural monks from the outside world to discover the existence of Stormwind City.

Under Liu Yue's arrangement, Wang Qian led five disciples to the east of the island, found a sheltered basin, and reclaimed a huge medicine garden. Wang Qian bent down and picked up a handful of clay, put it next to her nose and sniffed it, the soil quality here is not very good at present, and if you want to sow seeds, you still need to do some necessary treatment of the soil.

Wang Qian took soil samples in many places in the medicine garden, and after some research, she took out a black small tripod from the ring, and after the small tripod appeared, the body shape instantly turned into the size of one zhang.

"Senior Wang, are you going to refine the elixir?" the disciple excitedly gathered around. These five disciples were all deliberately selected, and all of them had some potential to practice alchemy.

Wang Qian glanced at a few people and smiled: "No, I just want to refine some medicinal powder to improve the soil quality, if you are interested, you can learn on the side." ”

"Hmm!" Several people nodded excitedly, they had already heard that the seniors in front of them had reached the height of a third-grade alchemist, and a third-grade alchemist was an unattainable existence for them.

Wang Qian carefully took out the air-dried medicinal herbs one by one from the Na Ring, and each time she took out a plant, she would patiently explain it to her disciples, and it could be seen that as long as it was related to the refining of medicine, once she put it in, she would put aside other distracting thoughts and forget her troubles and unhappiness. In her ring, there are no high-grade collections, low-grade herbs, and some accessories to improve the soil quality of the medicine garden, but they have stored a lot.

Around the peak of the mountain where the Fengshen Pagoda is located, in a relatively dense grove of trees, some attics have also been built, these attics seem to be slightly larger and more complex in structure, these attics are the residence of the elders and Dharma protectors. Trees are rare to see in Stormwind, and even if they do, they are some species with tall stems and sparse leaves, which are rare to see on the mainland.

Han Bing's attic, built on the top of the mountain, is only a few dozen zhang away from the Fengshen Tower. Liu Yue is the deputy sect master, and her attic is also built on the top of the mountain.

As for Qingling, Liu Yue consulted her opinion, and instead of accepting the suggestion to live on the top of the mountain, she chose to live in a remote attic that was extremely far away from the Fengshen Tower.

Han Bing did not express an opinion on Qingling's choice. He could feel Qingling's deliberate alienation from him, but he was helpless.

Stormwind was in peace, and the days passed. But this lull lasted less than three months before it came to an end. Several disciples couldn't resist the temptation, and in the process of rowing a small boat out to sea to fish, they were attacked by monsters, and only one escaped in a thrilling way.

The monster chased all the way to the shore, and was killed by a sword aura from Qingling, and the panicked people saw clearly that what was killed was a humanoid monster, with incomplete skin and flesh, sparse hair, stiff limbs, and a festering face, and even revealing white bones, which looked extremely terrifying.

"What kind of creature is this?" Liu Yue's expression was solemn.

"They are not living beings, they are undead. Qing Ling said lightly, the spiritual power in her hand spit lightly, and an ice needle flew out and nailed to the monster that was still twitching on the ground.

Hearing Qing Ling's words, there was a gasp in the surrounding crowd, these disciples had never seen the undead race in their lives.

Han Bing also stared at the undead on the ground, with a thoughtful look on his face, the undead clan, he knew it as early as when he was in the Moon God Realm, but he didn't expect that even this level of sunset stars would exist, and besides, these undead clans were also strange, they actually lived in the sea.

His gaze went forward, staring at the turbulent and dark waves in the distance, and after a while, he said in a deep voice: "I think, in this sea of death, there should be many forces that we don't know about, everyone should be careful in the future, try not to go to sea." ”

There was silence in the crowd, and Han Bing could clearly feel that the big guys were all frightened by the sudden appearance of the undead.

"The undead are not terrible, their reaction speed is not as fast as that of the monks, as long as you are careful, send the order, prepare to build the city walls and defensive towers, it seems that our life on the island will not be alone. After Han Bing finished speaking, he turned around and left.

Liu Yue couldn't look as relaxed as Han Bing and Qing Ling, so she immediately recruited elders and Dharma protectors and began to study the construction plan of the city wall and watchtower.

After everyone left, Qing Ling still stood alone next to the corpse, and after a long time, the tip of her sword gently picked open the skull of the undead, and a small pale white bead rolled out of it, and the small bead fell into her palm with a move from her left hand. After looking at the little bead for a long time, her face showed a thoughtful look.

This pale white bead connects the meridians on the body of the undead, which is equivalent to the brain. Only when the beads are removed can the undead be considered completely dead.

Liu Yue took a dozen elders and Dharma protectors, and after a whole night of research, they worked out the layout pattern of the walls and watchtowers of Stormwind City. Stormwind City has a large number of stones, these reefs are hard enough, and the magic penetration ability is strong, according to the construction plan, they will build a high city wall with a length of 100 miles around the Fengshen Tower, the height of the wall is 3 zhang, and a defensive tower is set up every 10 zhang.

The watchtower is 20 zhang high, and each watchtower can accommodate 5 monks. When the walls and watchtowers are built, a large cannon will be placed at the top of each watchtower, which will be used to fire special arrows.

All the city walls and watchtowers will be arranged to protect the formation, compared to the previous construction of the house, this time the workload is more huge, but because it is related to the livelihood problem, so when this plan was announced, the majority of disciples not only did not resist, but one by one enthusiasm.

Early the next morning, hundreds of disciples followed the elder's instructions and threw themselves into the busyness.

The construction work did not go too smoothly, perhaps because of the arrival of the disciples of the Fengshen Sect, which disturbed the original tranquility of the Sea of Death, from the sea, from time to time, some undead people would come to harass, but fortunately, there was no large-scale battle, and these undead were often killed by the monks shortly after they came ashore.

In the tense atmosphere, the construction speed of the fortifications was faster, and even Han Bing would often wander over the city wall, paying attention to the abnormal situation around him at any time.
