Chapter 144: Canyon Base
The base of the necromancers is some distance from Anyang City. Listening to the explanation of the black-robed senior brother, the base of the necromancers is near Damo City, to be precise, in the woodland canyons at the junction of the three kingdoms.
The reason why Locke didn't get the news of this canyon base from the memory of Necromancer Zhen was actually because Necromancer Zhen had never been here. This large base of necromancers was specially selected by Ming Zun only recently, and the huge bases that were originally farther away from Da Mo City were all relocated to this base during the year under Ming Zun's orders.
Following the black-robed senior brother, Locke and the two ran at an extremely fast speed. With the speed of a high-level professional, Locke and the two ran for more than three hours before they reached a woodland.
Along the way, Locke also kept communicating with the black-robed senior brother, and probed Mingzun's situation and the situation of the base and other senior brothers.
However, the necromancer did not reveal much about Mingzun and the real situation in the base.
During the exchange, Locke also took the initiative to reveal his recent situation, to be precise, the recent situation of his body. Of course, some more secret things, such as saying that he has taken over the identity of a necromancer, Locke will naturally not reveal.
"The base is not far ahead, if the junior brother is lucky, he will have a chance to meet the teacher. Deeper into the woodland, the black-robed mage paused and said to Locke as he motioned for Locke to rest.
After running at a fast pace for more than three hours, even a seventh-level professional would feel quite tired, the necromancer was not a warrior, let alone an undead creature like Locke, so he naturally needed to rest for a while.
As a large-scale base specially selected by Mingzun, the geographical location is naturally quite secret. High-level professionals travel for more than three hours, and ordinary people need at least a day to travel.
After relieving his breath, the necromancer did not continue to run at full strength this time, and continued to rush deeper into the woodland with Locke at half the speed of before.
In just a few minutes, a canyon suddenly appeared in front of Locke, and Locke knew that the destination of this trip had arrived.
As he approached the canyon, Locke sensed the lifeless aura surrounding his surroundings. As soon as he stepped into the canyon, Locke felt the concentration of dead qi increase dramatically, and as Locke continued to go deeper into the canyon, the concentration of dead qi also increased.
"This is indeed a place for necromancers. Sensing the concentration of dead air in the canyon, Locke couldn't help but mutter.
The canyon opening is large, but the deeper you go, the narrower it becomes. When Locke continued on his way, he finally stopped in front of a large rock.
The huge rocks were like stone walls, with no end in sight, and the necromancer continued to walk through the huge rocks with Locke.
As soon as Locke passed through the rocks, he felt that the concentration of dead qi that was normally normal had increased to an incredible extent, almost as empty as the stone wall where Locke had stayed before.
It turns out that after the mountain rock, there is another cave, to be precise, this cave is in the mountain stone. This cave is extremely huge, and it seems that it is almost impossible for people to open up the upper place, but listening to what the black-robed senior brother said, this cave was actually opened up by Ming Zun for almost several months with his own efforts.
Locke looked at it at a glance and saw that there were mountains of corpses piled up in this cave, and the stone wall space that Locke had stayed in before was as small as a small box compared to this cave. The amount of corpses Locke had collected was less than one percent of the amount of corpses piled up here.
Of course, although the number of corpses in this cave is large, the space is larger, so the concentration of dead qi in it is not as good as the concentration in the stone wall space where Locke once stayed.
The black-robed mage had only explained the location of this base to Locke before, but had not told the specific details of the mountain stone cave. As soon as he saw the scene in the cave, Locke was naturally shocked.
"That's it. After the initial shock, Locke couldn't help but see that in addition to the mountains of corpses, there were also many black-robed figures, and undead creatures living in the cave.
Xu sensed that someone else had broken into this huge stone cave, and the necromancers and undead creatures in the cave cave all walked out of the grotto where they were staying and appeared in front of Locke.
"These necromancers are all the teacher's subordinates and disciples, as well as the disciples' disciples. The undead creatures are all enslaved spirits summoned by necromancers with the help of corpses. Seeing Locke's puzzled face, the black-robed senior brother who brought Locke in immediately explained.
"Don't underestimate these enslaved undead, most of them are high-level undead creatures above level seven, and these powerful enslaved undead are all ......the accumulation of the teacher and our senior brothers for many years," the necromancer couldn't help but add a few more words after explaining.
"What, most of them are high-level undead creatures. This time Locke was really blown away. Locke's mind stretched out, and he saw nearly a hundred undead creatures. If it is a number of undead creatures, then there are half a hundred lord-level undead creatures among them, what a powerful combat force this is.
Listening to what Senior Brother Black Robed said, among these lord-level undead creatures, there are not only seventh-level undead lords, but also more powerful eighth-level undead and even ninth-level undead creatures.
At this time, these undead creatures, like the black-robed necromancers, gathered their breath, and Locke couldn't judge their specific strength level. Of course, Locke's mind swept over, and he could still tell whether these necromancers and undead creatures were mid-level and low-level professionals, or had the strength of a lord or above.
When Locke saw these figures, he vaguely had a slight impression of a few people in his memory, and Locke knew that these people were the other brothers of the necromancer Zhen.
Seeing that it was their own people who entered the cave, these undead creatures and many necromancers quickly retreated and returned to their caves, leaving only a few people walking towards Locke.
"It turned out to be Senior Brother Yuan Lei and Senior Brother Hou Zhen (brother). Several black-robed mages came over and took the initiative to greet them.
Locke knew that these people were all undead magic guides, and they were the only few undead magic guides in the cave at this time.
Ming Zun's undead demon guide was naturally not only a few of them, but the other undead demon guides were all just like himself and this black-robed senior brother, who were sent out of the city because of the mission.
After greeting Locke, the black-robed senior brother immediately opened the magic bag full of corpses on his body, and threw the massive corpses piled up in it onto the corpse mountain. Seeing that the other party was like this, Locke didn't need the other party to mention something, and he understood what to do, and he also piled up the massive corpses he had loaded in the magic bag into the corpse mountain.
"I heard from my junior brother that your enslaved undead have been completely destroyed by the allied forces of the two countries in the recent war, and my senior brother has a gift for my junior brother, which should be a thank you gift for my junior brother's help this time. After seeing Locke take out all the corpses bag by bag, he poured out two more corpses from the magic bag.
When Locke saw that the black-robed senior brother actually took out two more corpses from his magic bag as gifts to himself, Locke's heart moved, and his mind swept over the two corpses, and his face could not suppress a trace of joy.
"The corpses of two seventh-level warriors. In an instant, Locke judged the strength level of these two corpses before they were alive.
It turned out that the corpses of the seven high-level professionals who fell on the battlefield were all taken away by this black-robed senior brother one step ahead. This necromancer is Locke's senior brother, when Locke was a low-level necromancer, he was already a disciple of Mingzun, and he also had several seventh-level enslaved undead lords, and then there were three or four enslaved undead lords, and he had reached the limit of his control.
At this time, he was unexpectedly lucky enough to obtain the corpses of seven high-level professionals, which was beyond the limit of his control to enslave the undead lord, so he took out two of the extra corpses as a thank you gift to Locke.
said that it was a thank you gift, but in fact, it was given to Locke in order to win over Locke. He has been promoted to a seventh-level necromancer for many years, and his potential has been exhausted, and if he does not have a special opportunity, it will be difficult to break through to an eighth-level existence. These two corpses are used to win over the junior disciples who still have the potential to advance to the eighth level, which is obviously more cost-effective than putting them on themselves.
