Chapter 114: Rich and deadly, like a mountain of corpses
After cleaning the battlefield and clearing the battlefield of the traces of battle, the necromancer entered the underground tunnels of the Burial Land with Locke. No one knows that this place of burial is the place where the city lord of Da Mo fell. Except for the two of them, no one knew that the Great Mo City Lord had fallen.
"Thank you, Brother Zhen, for saving me this time. Walking through the tunnel, Locke thanked the necromancer again.
"I wonder if there is a better place for us necromancers to quickly recover the magic in their bodies. After thanking the necromancer, Locke took the opportunity to ask again.
Although necromancers can recover their magic power by taking the Necromantic Alchemy Elixir, the value of the Necromancer Alchemy Elixir is not low after all, and it is impossible to take the Elixir all the time. These alchemy elixirs are all used for combat at critical moments, not for cultivation.
The reason why Locke asked this high-level mage was naturally to find out where the corpses were stored.
Because the undead spirit death qi must be emitted by the corpses, this high-level necromancer was able to refine a large amount of undead alchemy elixir, naturally because he had mastered such a good place. Even Locke guessed that all the corpses collected by the necromancer must have been placed there.
Hearing Locke's inquiry, the necromancer was not surprised. He slowed his pace and waved his hand to signal Locke to follow.
Knowing that Dao Locke was not lightly injured, the necromancer did not increase his speed to the limit, but continued to move forward at the speed of an ordinary intermediate warrior.
Although mages are not as flexible as warriors of the same level, and their bodies are far less powerful than those of warriors of the same level, mages who have undergone the baptism of the elements are still higher than those of lower-level warriors in terms of speed and physical strength.
A large number of tunnels have been excavated into the ground, many of which are interconnected, and even Locke will not be able to find the right route without anyone leading the way.
Under the guidance of the necromancer, Locke walked forward for nearly ten minutes. The large number of underground passages connected around also decreased as Locke advanced, and gradually only one passage remained.
Along the way, although turning left and right kept changing directions, the path passed through had been reflected in Locke's soul, and next time, Locke would be able to find this passage with the memory in his soul.
Sensing that he had reached the cliff at the end of the passage, Locke knew that his destination had arrived.
In this burial place, there is dead qi everywhere, but it is not rich, and it is okay for those middle and low-level necromancers to refine and absorb it, but for high-level necromancers, the death qi that can be absorbed is already a drop in the bucket.
Locke was in a subtle sense, and immediately sensed that there were several small gaps in the stone wall. Immediately, it was known that these gaps on the road were the edges of the stone gate, and there was something else behind the stone wall.
The necromancer came to the top of the stone wall and exerted a little force. With a 'creak', the heavy stone door slowly moved away under the impetus of the necromancer, and Locke only felt a strong sense of undead death coming to his face, far higher than the concentration of dead qi in the passage, and Locke felt the magic in his body recover after just one breath.
Of course, this is just Locke's illusion, but the concentration of dead qi behind the stone gate is indeed extremely strong, which is suitable for high-level necromancers to refine and absorb, otherwise Locke would not have such an illusion.
Locke felt that although the concentration of dead qi in it was still not as good as that of the undead plane, it was not far behind.
"Hurry in. Seeing that Locke was still taking a deep breath, the necromancer couldn't help but shout immediately, and at the same time let go of the hands that were pushing the stone door.
When Locke heard this, he entered the stone gate with a dodge, and as soon as he entered the stone gate, the stone door automatically closed because the necromancer let go of his hands.
Locke Zhilu said, behind the stone gate must be a closed space, at least a relatively closed space, otherwise it is impossible to block it so that the undead spirit in it will not emit out. Because if the dead qi in it can be freely emanated, there will not be such a thick dead qi behind the stone wall.
The space behind the stone wall was not large, and as soon as he entered it, the first thing that caught Locke's eyes was the mountains of corpses piled up in it, so many complete and broken corpses, uncountable, at least in tens of thousands.
The vast majority of these bodies have decomposed, and most of them have only skeletons left. Only a very small number of them have been collected in the most recent period, some are just beginning to decompose, and some are fresh corpses that have not yet decomposed.
The massive accumulation of corpses took up two-thirds of the space, and less than one-third of the space was empty. These corpses were obviously collected by the high-ranking necromancer in front of him.
The mountains of corpses were Locke's most intuitive feeling after entering the space, but Locke's eyes were not on these corpses, but on several undead creatures in the space.
There were three undead creatures, and Locke could sense that these three undead creatures were all seventh-level existences.
As soon as he thought about it, Locke knew that these undead creatures were enslaved undead creatures summoned by the necromancer in front of him from the corpse of a seventh-level professional. These undead creatures have low potential, and their strength has been fixed as soon as they are born, but they are the most loyal subordinates of the necromancers, and they will never betray the necromancer who created them, and they are the most trusted existence of the necromancer.
Of course, the number of summoned creatures that a necromancer can control is also limited because of his mental power, and once the strength of the necromancer is improved, this kind of summoned undead who are absolutely enslaved will also lose its effect and be abandoned to fend for itself. Recollect more powerful corpses and summon more powerful undead creatures.
Undead creatures that have relinquished control will also be freed from their status as enslaved undead creatures.
The necromancer's control of such summoned undead creatures only requires mental power, but does not consume mental power. These undead creatures do not return to the undead plane because they are not branded from the undead plane.
Necromancer Zhen had these undead creatures stay here, apparently to protect the corpses.
In this space, there is a small area that is deliberately vacant, on which some precious magic materials are placed, faintly forming a magic array.
This magic circle Locke naturally knows, and it is recorded in the mage's codex obtained by Locke when he first killed the necromancer, which is the magic array for refining the alchemy potion of the undead that replenishes his magic power.
"In the future, if you refine the death qi, you can come by yourself, or you can use this magic array to refine the undead alchemy potion. Seeing Locke set his eyes on the magic array, the necromancer spoke.
"This time I confessed, if you need anything in the future, just open your mouth to me. Locke immediately thanked him. However, Locke only said it, and he did not have the slightest gratitude for the necromancer in front of him. After all, there are a lot of pieces of meat to put it mildly, and as long as it is good for himself, Locke doesn't mind killing the other party with a backhand. In his heart, Locke was already secretly thinking about it, playing with his own ideas.
For Locke, he didn't owe anything to the other party, and the other party took action against the Damo City Lord this time, which was also good for him, on the contrary, he helped the other party attract and kill the Damo City Lord. Moreover, Locke already had a calculation for this necromancer, and being saved by him was only one part of the calculation, and the necromancer was naturally not his savior. Locke believes that the other party must have calculated about himself.
Although the space is full of dead energy, the most important thing for Locke at present is not to refine the dead qi to recover his magic power, but to recover his own injuries.
After a few verbal exchanges with the necromancer, Locke offered to leave, citing his injuries.
Locke's breath was normal, and there was no abnormality in the fluctuation of mental power, although the necromancer could not sense that Locke's injuries were serious enough to die, but he could tell from Locke's superficial injuries that Locke was extremely injured.
At Locke's signal, an undead creature of a necromancer stepped forward to open the stone door for Locke, and Locke took the opportunity to quickly leave the space.
