Chapter 35: Light Curtain, Wait
The advent of the Sea of Skulls is an extremely significant event for the undead plane. Every time there is an additional Sea of Skulls, the overall strength of the undead plane will be stronger.
The high-level undead creatures near the Sea of Skulls, once they learn that the Sea of Skulls has appeared, will definitely flock to the Sea of Skulls, so as to take the lead and establish a new order that serves them.
"There must be a place around here where there can be a large number of undead creatures. Locke muttered to himself.
In the undead plane, although the Sea of Skulls is extremely rare, there are many places where undead creatures are born, and it can even be said that they are everywhere, Locke was born from a small skull pit, and like the small skull pit where Locke was born, there are at least dozens of places in the territory of the bone dragon Gregory, and there are even some large skull pits that can give birth to more undead creatures.
The situation was exactly as Locke had guessed, the more Locke advanced, the more undead creatures he encountered, and the higher the proportion of zero-level undead creatures he had.
Although he has not yet encountered a mid-level undead creature suitable for slaying the soul-devouring fire by himself, Locke is not in a hurry. Because Locke knew that there were so many low-level undead creatures here, it would only take a short time to give birth to a large number of mid-level undead creatures.
This is indeed a good opportunity for Locke.
Locke believed that with a large number of undead creatures consumed by the soul fire, it was possible for him to quickly advance to the fifth, sixth, and even lord levels.
Locke naturally didn't know that once he was promoted to the lord level, he would be immediately summoned and killed by the bone dragon lord.
If Locke wants to devour the right soul fire, he still needs to wait, waiting for these low-level undead creatures to grow.
Therefore, Locke naturally planned to go to the birthplace of these undead creatures to have a look, and maybe there would be an unexpected gain.
During the walk, one by one the low-level undead creatures, because of the natural suppression between ranks, instinctively stayed away from Locke.
The rows of bone spurs on his body made Locke look far more hideous than other skeleton creatures.
The last time I shaped and strengthened the bones of my body, because Locke found a large number of bones of level 6 undead creatures. After shaping, Locke has two more rows of bone spurs. In addition to Locke's arm bones and leg bones, Locke's back bones also have two rows of sharp bone spurs.
Therefore, in Locke's body, in addition to the rank, the hideous bone spurs on his body also indicate the difference between Locke and other undead creatures.
Half a day passed, and Locke finally came to the place where many undead creatures were born.
"This is the Sea of Skulls. Looking at the boundless white curtain of light in front of him, a thought came to Locke's mind.
Although Locke had never seen the Sea of Skulls, when he saw the white light curtain, as an undead creature, he naturally knew in an instant that this was the holy place that many undead creatures in the world of the undead yearned for, the Sea of Skulls.
An undead creature with only level zero walked out of the white light curtain. More than ninety-nine percent of these zero-level undead creatures are skeleton creatures, only sporadically accompanied by other kinds of undead creatures.
The white curtain of light around the Sea of Skulls is a product of the rules of the undead plane.
The purpose of this white light curtain is to protect the Sea of Skulls from other powerful undead creatures entering it and causing damage. Blocked by a white curtain of light, undead creatures are not allowed to enter.
The Skull Sea, a sacred place for undead creatures, is naturally very different from the Skull Pit, the place where the undead are born.
The Sea of Skulls, in addition to giving birth to more undead creatures, also has the property of permanent existence. Not only is the number of undead creatures born in the Skull Pit small, but it also does not give birth to undead creatures forever. Generally, the skull pit only gave birth to a large number of undead creatures in a period of time when it just appeared. Over time, the Skull Pit will lose its effectiveness and no new undead creatures will be born.
When Locke came to the vicinity of the white light curtain, he naturally had to stop his steps.
Locke's soul perceives everything nearby, but when it reaches the white light curtain, its perception is also blocked by the light curtain.
Naturally, Locke, who was outside the light curtain, could not perceive the situation inside the light curtain.
In the light curtain, a large number of corpses were piled up in it. These corpses are not pure skeletal corpses, many of them have flesh and blood, and some corpses have not yet decomposed.
Moreover, under the rules of the undead plane, new corpses will appear in the Sea of Skulls from time to time. These fresh corpses that continue to appear are also the key to the Sea of Skull's ability to give birth to undead creatures for a long time.
The undead creatures that had just walked out of the Skull Hyde instinctively bypassed Locke when they passed through Locke's location.
Naturally, there will not be much harmony between undead creatures of the same level.
Most of the undead creatures, as soon as they step out of the Sea of Skeletons, will be quickly slashed by other undead creatures and devouring the soul fire.
Undead creatures, because of instinct, desire both to survive and to be strong. Every undead creature, including Locke, has an instinctive desire for the soul fire of its undead.
In Locke's soul perception, one by one the undead creatures that had just walked out of the skull sea were killed and devoured by the undead creatures that came out first near the light curtain. Then these existences that devoured the soul fire of the undead creatures of the same level may be killed by other undead creatures of the same level and devoured the soul fire.
An ordinary level zero undead creature would have a hard time surviving near the light curtain of the Sea of Skulls.
After all, the strength of these undead creatures is limited, and they are not much different from the existence of the same level, and it is impossible to be invincible at the same level like Locke, and be able to kill enemies beyond the level.
Perhaps one undead creature will be lucky enough to slay other undead creatures and devour their soul fire. However, in the course of the fight, the victor is also very likely to be injured. Moreover, after devouring the soul fire of the same level existence, although the soul fire will increase somewhat, the strength will not be significantly enhanced.
As a result, the power of these victors may not increase but decrease. The density of undead creatures near the white light curtain is too large, and once these undead creatures have not moved away from the light curtain in time, they will almost encounter other newborn undead who have just come out of the sea of skulls.
And between the undead creatures of the same level, as long as they encounter it, they will fight each other because of instinct, until one of them falls.
Of course, zero-level undead creatures have extremely weak soul perception ability, and it is impossible to perceive things ten meters away. With the strength of the soul fire, the range that zero-level undead creatures can perceive ranges from one meter to several meters of their bodies.
Therefore, as long as these zero-level undead creatures are outside the range of each other's soul perception, they will not be considered to have encountered each other.
As time passed, some of the lucky undead creatures gradually moved away from the white light curtain and headed farther away.
Of course, there are also very few undead creatures, and they may be even luckier, at the edge of the white light curtain, they are lucky enough to slash and devour enough soul fire of the same level existence, so as to advance to a first-level undead creature. And such a lucky person is less than one in a thousand in Locke's perception.
After probing around the white light curtain, Locke left the vicinity of the white light curtain.
Because, Locke Zhilu said, although there are a large number of low-level undead creatures coming out of this vicinity every moment, the probability of mid-level undead creatures appearing among them is too small, and it is not worth waiting here at all.
Of course, Locke didn't mean to leave the vicinity of the Sea of Skulls. It was just going to wait in a place where it was easier to give birth to mid-level undead creatures, hunting for soul fire.
Half a day later, Locke was back at a considerable distance from the white light curtain. After all, it was only half a day's work for Locke, and it would take at least a few days for other low-level undead creatures to come here from the white light curtain.
In this vicinity, although the number of undead creatures is far less than that near the white light curtain, there are many first-level undead creatures among them, and some second- and third-level undead creatures appear sporadically. Judging from the density of these second- and third-level undead creatures, it doesn't take a few months to be able to give birth to a large number of middle-level undead creatures.
And for a few months, Locke still waited to get up. After all, leaving the vicinity of this Sea of Skulls, Locke wants to find enough mid-level undead creatures, and a few months may not be enough.
