Chapter 716: Turning Back

Eventually, Benjamin's quest had to be interrupted due to the lack of backpack capacity.

At first, he just flew all the way north, and no matter what undead creatures he encountered along the way, he would kill them and obtain their corpses, ready to take them back to the academy for research. And after exploring for more than half a day, they also left the wasteland and flew into an endless swamp.

As soon as they approached the swamp, more undead creatures would crawl out of the muddy ground, glaring at them with teeth and claws. This is probably the legendary instinctive hatred of the dead for the living.

And about these various kinds of undead creatures, Benjamin has never seen a reason.

"It's boring, why are the undead a bunch of beasts who only know how to act according to instinct?" The system couldn't help but complain, "Can't a wise and powerful undead monarch come out of nowhere and punch you to Grandma's house?"

“...... What's in it for you?"

"It's funny. ”

“......”

Benjamin returned to consciousness, kicked the system a few times, and then returned to reality, and Dick on the side didn't even realize what was happening.

In fact, Dick didn't notice anything but fear and nervousness.

"I beg you, hurry back......, okay? This place is really scary. His weeping murmur continued almost the entire length of the exploration, "And ...... Can you stop putting those corpses in my bag? I always feel like they're sneaking around in my bag......"

Benjamin smiled and continued to fly as if he hadn't heard.

In fact, he had already built a wall of air to keep Dick's voice in it, and he couldn't hear half a word of complaint.

However, as Dick expected, all exploration has an end to it, and most of the reasons are due to overloading. Benjamin could have built a huge refrigerator to hold the remains of the undead, but he still had to think about mental power.

When they enter the realm of the undead, their feet never touch the ground again. Obviously, as long as the breath of a living person approaches, these undead will burst through the ground and pounce on them tirelessly. Benjamin had to stay in flight the whole time, which also caused his mental power to be constantly drained, and he couldn't find a gap to recover on his own.

Moreover, exploring an unknown world is still very dangerous.

So far, none of the undead he has encountered are very powerful. But the farther he flew with him into the depths of the swamp, the higher the density of the undead. It is also very possible that there will be any difficult characters to deal with if this continues, and he must keep his mental strength full at all times, otherwise once there is an accident, he will get away with it.

Therefore, when the mental power was halfway depleted, Benjamin had to stop moving forward.

"Finally, can you finally leave?" Dick almost cried on the spot.

Benjamin also quietly removed the muted qi wall, nodded, and smiled kindly. But in his heart, he still felt quite regretful.

The corpse of the undead was already filled with a large blister, and according to his calculations, even if he just flew back to the academy with this blister, it would consume a lot of his mental power. Otherwise, he wouldn't have turned away at Dick's plea.

He hasn't explored enough of this world!

"What do you think...... Will the real secret be hidden underground?" asked Benjamin on the way back.

"Why do you think that?" the system asked rhetorically.

"Because all the spirits of the dead crawled out of the ground. Benjamin recalled what he had seen along the way, and said slowly, "And, although I haven't carefully sensed the soil here, it seems that the dark element in the soil is much richer. ”

"Very interesting train of thought. However, the dark elements in the ground are originally more intense than those in the air, which is a normal phenomenon and does not mean anything. ”

"Then I'll be cranky. Benjamin shrugged his shoulders and said, "Anyway, I don't see any undead moving on the ground, and every time they feel the possible food and crawl out of the ground." This shows that the underground is where they spend most of their time. ”

"You can try digging next time, but of course, as long as you don't get annoyed by the skeleton zombies that come and go. ”

"I understand ......"

Benjamin touched his chin with a look of distress.

Digging is not a difficult thing to do, but there are too many undead creatures! At the moment they are just close to the surface, and the ghosts that come out are as dense as maggots emerging from corpses, and then dig down...... How terrible is that picture?

He felt that the task of exploring the world of the dead was really not something that ordinary people could do, and it had to be a bit psychopathic.

In this way, they flew out of the swamp in a hurry, and they soon returned to the abyss of their fate. They flew along the abyss all the way east, and after flying over the border of the Kingdom of Hori, they turned their heads and crossed the abyss into the territory of Ikor .

And at this point, they are completely safe.

I don't know what's going on in the church......

Losing a key that seemed to be very important, he even sent a large army to block the border, and frantically pursued Benjamin and Dick. However, in the course of their day and night search, Benjamin made an unexpected expedition to unravel the secrets of the Scaiver Mountains, discover the world of the undead, and catch a ghost along the way, and finally return to safety with grace.

How would the church feel if it knew what had happened in the past few days?

Benjamin couldn't help but sympathize with the priests who were lying in ambush in the border mountains.

Of course, sympathy is sympathy, and he doesn't intend to let the world of the dead leak half a point. As far as the doctrine of the Church is concerned, those people certainly disdain to draw power from the world of the undead, but it is also good to keep an extra hole card for themselves.

A new continent may be difficult to keep completely secret, but at the very least, until the academy takes the lead, everything can only be sealed in the mouths of a few people.

Including Dick.

"You should know...... I've seen so many things along the way, what should I say and shouldn't say?" said Benjamin to Dick with a smile as he entered Ikor territory.

"Don't worry, of course I do!" said Dick, who was so frightened that he nodded vigorously and shouted like a military reel.

"But I'm not at ease. Benjamin tilted his head and thought for a moment, and said, "Well, if you stay outside, you will also be at risk of being assassinated by the church, so you might as well stay in the academy and be a guest for a while." When the limelight is over, you're going to go back and inherit what your father left you?"

"That'...... How long are you going to stay?"

"I don't know, it's possible for half a year, a year, three years or five years. You can rest assured, we entertain guests well, at most we can't move around at will, and we won't starve you. ”

“......”

Dick wept a sad face, faced with Benjamin's demonic smile, and finally chose to nod in humiliation.
