Baiyezi Village was silent, and there seemed to be a faint chill lingering in the air, but the houses were dilapidated, and a thick layer of ash had accumulated on the ground, and in the ashes, messy wreckage could be faintly seen. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Sui Xiong watched from afar, shook his head, and sighed deeply.

He already knew the cause and effect of the beginning, and also knew why the old priest suddenly plotted against himself - between good and evil, he was a mortal enemy.

The struggle between good and evil, the struggle of ideas, and the struggle of positions...... To put it bluntly, it is an ideological struggle. On Earth, this struggle has developed into two camps, led by the two superpowers, threatening each other with weapons of mass destruction that can wipe out all of humanity several times. And in this world, all god systems, all countries, all races, and all sects are fighting for ideology at every turn, and the old priest's act of revenge and murder is really nothing in this context.

But hundreds of people in the entire Baiyezi Village lost their lives in vain because the old priest wanted to play ideological struggle.

He did not regret what had happened to him when he had struck so hard that he had brought down the innocents, and he knew so little about the world and was struggling with all his might in the face of a great crisis? I am very dissatisfied with this world where the ideological struggle is so sharp and fierce that it is impossible to understand.

"There's something sick about the world......"

Sighing, he manipulated the huge jellyfish to walk around the village, and the tentacles more powerful than any hoe dug deep gullies in the ground to form a simple magic array.

This is the guardian circle, which can prevent the dead in the circle from turning into returning creatures.

The so-called resurrected creature refers to the fact that the body of a dead creature is reactivated by the erosion of dark forces - according to the world's negative energy - and turns into a monster that can move. These monsters have no intelligence, and will only instinctively attack nearby things that contain positive energy according to the principle of positive and negative energy conflicts—most commonly, various natural creatures.

Sui Xiong was a game fan before crossing over, and he was exposed to many games. According to his idea, those who are resurrected and become monsters after death should be called immortal. But in fact, the so-called "undead system" is divided into two parts, returning creatures and undead creatures. The former is just a simple monster with no intelligence, but the latter is a dangerous demon with wisdom and strength that can continue to grow.

The undead come from a variety of sources, and they are backed by gods and monsters, so they can be called a force to be reckoned with in this world. Reliving creatures, on the other hand, lack a minimum of intelligence, are unable to provide the power of faith, and are unable to do slightly more complex jobs, and they are not given any attention or protection, and even most of the undead despise them, and they cannot be more low-end, even if many of the undead themselves are advanced from the re-incarnation.

However, it is this thing at the lower end of the monster world that poses the greatest threat to the people living in the Black Forest.

The Black Forest, officially known as the Ash Forest, is said to have been fought by gods in ancient times, and the dead gods turned to ashes and polluted the forest. Since then, this forest has become the birthplace of negative energy, exuding negative energy all the time, eroding the surrounding land, while fusing and condensing all the bones in the forest and turning them into revived.

Strangely, the reborn creatures here don't advance no matter how strong they become. This renders the Forest of Ashes worthless even for villains who try to recruit undead minions, and the only ones who will work hard here are the poor peasants.

Through the analysis of the power on the shrine of the Sleepless God, Sui Xiong has mastered the means of absorbing negative energy. The magic array he designed at the moment was to extract the negative energy in the array and disperse it into the distance.

Without the support of negative energy, the bones of those who died will naturally not metamorphose into resurrected creatures.

Being big is convenient, Sui Xiong didn't use any tools, and quickly completed the magic array with just a powerful tentacle. With the skills cultivated in the art department of the third-rate art school, the entire magic array was painted perfectly, without the slightest flaw.

Before activating the magic array, he stepped into the White Leaf Village again and examined it carefully.

This magic circle will greatly reduce the concentration of negative energy in the array, and if there are already undead creatures in the village, it will be killed by it.

While the undead are rare, there may or may not be accidents.

As he had guessed, inside the ruins, he had found the undead.

It was a soulless undead who was in a battle posture and fighting an enemy that didn't exist.

Sui Xiong recognized it at a glance - bald, tall, and agile, isn't this guy the most powerful warrior in the village!

According to information obtained from the shrine, the strong man's name was Gerard Kaban, and he had been a mercenary. Because he offended the big man outside, he fled to the ashes forest in the middle of nowhere. He lacks faith, has no respect for the gods, only believes in his axe, but is a good teacher, and has a high reputation in the village, which can be called a thorn in the eye of the old priest.

The powerhouses of this world are roughly divided into three ranks: bronze, silver, and gold, and the advanced level is characterized by the change of life form, and above the gold rank are those legendary creatures with long lifespans and strong strength, and then ...... It's gods and demons. Gerald and the old priest are both bronze ranks, and in terms of strength, twenty or thirty ordinary strong men are not enough for them to fight. However, the old priest is old and frail after all, but Gerald is in the prime of his life, and there have been several conflicts between the two sides, and the old priest has fallen behind.

As a sacrifice to the evil god, he has a lot of spells to use. But Gerald is an old oilman who has been in the rivers and lakes for many years, very cunning, and has never given the old priest a chance to plot against him. Until that night of fierce fighting, the old priest sacrificed himself to launch a slavery technique to plot against Sui Xiong, but it turned out to be a burial companion for Gerald and the entire village.

Sui Xiong stared at Gerald's undead, most of the soul's body had become dim and empty, only a little aura in the heart was still beating. If nothing else, after a while, he will completely dissipate and turn into a part of the negative energy that permeates the entire ash forest.

But now that Sui Xiong is here, things have taken a turn for the better.

After a little thought, Sui Xiong released his magic power and turned into a gray ball, enveloping Gerald inside.

The orbs were filled with pure negative energy, and under the control of Sui Xiong's magical power, they continued to seep into Gerald's soul, making the already weakened undead quickly stronger. After only a few moments, the undead became as clear as a living person, and his face was regained with the light of wisdom.

He stopped, stood there, and looked around in confusion.

"It's ...... What's going on?"

"You're dead. Sui Xiong said.

Gerald turned his head to look at the huge beast, and the confusion in his eyes did not completely subside: "But what is going on?"

Sui Xiong sighed and told him in detail about the cause and effect of the incident.

"So that's ......" Gerald was silent for a long time after listening to Sui Xiong's story, and all his exclamations finally turned into a long sigh.

"What are you going to do?" Sui Xiong saw that he was depressed and asked, "Go to hell or go to the kingdom of God?"

In this world, if the souls of the dead do not want to dissipate or become undead, there are only two places to go. Either go to hell and gamble your luck to see if you will degenerate into an evil monster, or you will enter the Great Styx, which runs through all worlds, and wash away the reincarnation of the past, or you will go to the kingdom of the gods you believe in, transform into creatures of the kingdom of God, and live for a few more years, and finally completely integrate into it and become a part of the kingdom of God.

Sui Xiong didn't get a lot of information, and he didn't know exactly what life was like in Hell and the Kingdom of God, but according to his thoughts, neither of these options seemed to be very good.

If you want to be reincarnated, you will be reincarnated directly, and what is the matter of becoming a monster! There is nothing wrong with living in the kingdom of God, but why should you blend into it and become a building material in the future!

Gerald was silent for a while, and then said, "I used to believe in the god of thieves, but then I turned my back on it, and now I am an unbeliever, and no god will accept me. And hell ...... I don't want to go ......."

"Then there is no way, there are only two ways to dissipate or become undead. Which one do you choose?" Sui Xiong said, "If you dissipate, forget it, if you want to be an undead creature, I can also be considered to have some ability, I can help you transform, at least I can retain some more sanity." ”

"I don't want to be a Wraith or a Death Knight......"

"You're so demanding. ”

Gerald smiled: "I really didn't expect that when I was alive, I was chased by several bronze killers and fled like a dog, and after I died, I actually talked and laughed with a powerful legendary creature...... Forget it, I'll see it too, so let's just dissipate. ”

The only death that has been difficult for thousands of years, he has put down all his death at the moment, and his whole temperament has become a little more calm and noble.

But Sui Xiong didn't want him to die so completely, this Gerald is good, he also has some skills, and the most important thing is that he has traveled south and north for many years, and he has seen a lot of experience and experience. I am not familiar with this world, and the information obtained from the shrine is unreliable, if I can win over Gerald and become a guide or something, it must be much more convenient.

Not to mention anything else, let this bald brother pretend to be a great magician, and he will pretend to be the legendary creature he summoned, you can save a lot of trouble!

So he thought about it for a while, and finally made up his mind.

"This ...... I'll try to recreate your flesh......" he said.

"What?" Gerard was stunned, not understanding his words.

"I'll try to recreate a body for you, and see if you can attach it to it and come back to life. ”

Gerald was overjoyed, but hesitated a little - necromancy was notorious and he couldn't be feared.

However, he thought about it, is it necessary for such a powerful creature to deceive such a small mortal as him? For example, in the folk tales, the devil deceived mortals into signing contracts, and deceived those great people with outstanding talents and bright futures. Who would spend that kind of spirit on a down-and-out adventurer who is already dead and about to be gone? Wouldn't it be nice to cast a spell that commands the undead......

Thinking of this, he put his mind at ease, but he couldn't help asking, "Is this really okay?"

Sui Xiong smiled: "Try it, anyway, you are ready to wait for death, even if the resurrection fails, there is no loss." ”

This is very convincing, just as a person is ready not to play a certain game anyway, what does it matter if the account is used to test the cheat?

OK, no problem!

Gerard accepted the proposal after a little thought, and then cooperated with Sui Xiong and began to recreate the body.
