However, this method of directly summoning undead had a very fatal flaw, and that was time.
These undead summoned from another plane had a time limit in the Ark Continent. And this time limit was related to the summoner's ability as well as the level of the dark creatures that were summoned.
In theory, the higher the summoner's level, the stronger their magic, and the longer their summoned creatures could stay in the Ark Continent. The higher the level of the dark creatures, the shorter the time they could stay in the Ark Continent.
Of course, there were exceptions. If you summoned a powerful dark creature, as long as you were willing to pay some life force, you could make the dark creature live in the Ark Continent for a long time. But generally, no summoner would use this method. This was because the higher the level of the dark creature, the more life force it would need. If you wanted to make a demon stay in the Ark Continent for a long time, it would immediately lose its life. In addition to that, a mage's time was very long. The more they thought about it, the more precious their time was. Therefore, under normal circumstances, they wouldn't use this method to make an undead from another plane stay in the Ark Continent for a long time.
Dark Summoners had another method, like the one used by the Immortal Mercenary Group, to create their own undead in the Ark Continent.
Every summoner could create a summoning space. This summoning space couldn't hold anything other than a summoned beast. As long as the summoner turned the people or magic beasts they killed into undead, they could put them into the summoning space. But correspondingly, the level of the undead would be reduced by a lot, and they wouldn't be able to level up for a lifetime.
It was precisely because of this that the people who were monitoring Zhao were very surprised. At first glance, they knew that Alien wasn't summoned from another plane. If it was, then it would have already disappeared, and it wouldn't have existed for so long.
But looking at Alien's fighting strength, they could judge that it was at least a 5th rank warrior. If such a magic beast was artificially created, then what level was it before it was killed? Everyone was a bit confused.
A mage, under normal circumstances, could only create low level undead. If they wanted to create high level undead, they would have to pay the price of their life force. And a low level undead wouldn't be able to surpass a 4th rank warrior. Could this green undead be a high level undead created by a dark mage? Did he not want to live anymore?
Naturally, Zhao Hai and the others were aware of the consequences of releasing Xenomorphs. However, they didn't care. In the future, when Zhao Hai fights with others, he would release even more Undead. Moreover, these Undead wouldn't be any weaker than Xenomorphs. When the time comes, it would be better to let them know.
In the Ark Continent, there weren't many places that could produce undead on their own. The places that could produce undead were the continent's most dangerous places, such as the Carrion Swamp and the Demonic Abyss. These two places were one of the five most ferocious places on the continent. In the past hundred years, no one had heard of anyone coming out alive from these two places. In the past thousand years, even those who came out alive from these two places had not been able to live for more than five years.
It was because of this that the Carrion Swamp and the Demonic Abyss had become forbidden places. No adventurers went there because no one wanted to die.
It was precisely because of this that the Ark Continent's native undead creatures hadn't appeared in the continent for a long time. People had already forgotten about the existence of dark summoners who could summon undead creatures.
There was also a reason why Zhao Hai dared to release Xenomorphs so blatantly. The place where he first appeared was Montenegro Fortress. If someone were to associate Xenomorphs with the Carrion Swamp, then it would explain why he appeared in Montenegro Fortress. People in the continent would only think of Zhao Hai as a crazy dark mage and not associate him with Adam. This way, Adam's identity would be much safer.
One must know that when Zhao Hai appeared, the Black Wasteland had just been baptized by the Carrion Swamp's Magic Beasts and Undead. Not long after those Magic Beasts and Undead retreated, Zhao Hai appeared in Montenegro Fortress. Even if people knew that Xenomorphs were undead from the Carrion Swamp, they would still think that he was caught in the Black Wasteland. They would think that he was crazy, but they would never associate him with the Buda Clan.
Zhao Hai's speed wasn't fast. It could be said that they were moving very slowly. This was deliberately done by Zhao Hai.
Zhao Hai wanted to cooperate with the Markey Company, so he attached great importance to this cooperation. The people who cooperated with him must be trustworthy, and there was no one more suitable than Laura.
However, Laura hadn't yet returned from Montenegro Fortress. Therefore, even if Zhao Hai arrived at Casa City ahead of time, they wouldn't make a deal. Therefore, they weren't in a hurry and just slowly moved forward.
However, what no one knew was that Green had already sneaked into Casa City in advance. Now, the person who appeared on top of the Xenomorph's head every day wearing a full body armor wasn't Green, but a slave with a similar build to Green.
Green wanted to go to Casa City ahead of time to make preparations. He wanted to buy a small manor and do some preparatory work. Since everyone's eyes were focused on Zhao Hai, Green's actions shouldn't attract anyone's attention.
Of course, Zhao Hai wasn't doing nothing. They had been drawing a map. They wanted to draw the terrain of all the places they had passed through.
Zhao Hai's understanding of this world was still too little. He wanted to know more about the situation around his home. Right now, he really lacked a sense of security.
Because Green wasn't there, Zhao Hai was even more careful. Every day, their speed wasn't very fast. Moreover, they were mostly walking on the main roads. Even if they had to bypass the city, they would still find some roads that were commonly used.
Zhao Hai's purpose in doing this was because he was afraid that someone wouldn't be able to resist coming up to test them. Right now, they only had Merlin with them. Without Green, their fighting strength had decreased by nearly half. He had no choice but to be careful.
In fact, Zhao Hai was thinking too much. His current identity was a black magician that no one wanted to provoke. No one dared to doubt his identity. As long as they saw Xenomorphs, no one would dare to provoke him.
It can be said that Zhao Hai had underestimated the deterrence of a black magician to ordinary mercenaries and adventurers. The mercenaries and adventurers who walked outside were very clear. They would rather offend a powerful 7th Level Warrior than a 4th Level Black Magician. If you offend a warrior, the warrior would most likely kill you. But if you offend a black magician, you would most likely be tortured to death and then turned into an undead to fight for him.
Adventurers and mercenaries weren't afraid of death. But when they thought of dying and having to fight for their enemies, they felt uncomfortable. They would rather their bodies be eaten by magic beasts than become undead.
It was precisely because of this reason that no adventurer or mercenary dared to offend a black magician, especially one who had a summoning beast that could reach 5th Level Warrior.
Although Zhao Hai's speed wasn't fast, they still attracted the attention of the entire Purcell Duchy. Whether it was a caravan they met on the road or an ordinary pedestrian, everyone was paying attention to them. There was no other reason than the fact that the battle between them and the Immortal mercenary group had spread.
The Immortal mercenary group was too famous in the continent. Now, almost no one dared to offend them. And now, Zhao Hai actually fought with the Immortal mercenary group and even drove them away. This couldn't help but attract people's attention.
No one thought that Zhao Hai would be able to capture the entire Immortal mercenary group. In their opinion, it was impossible. The Immortal mercenary group had fought so many battles without any injuries. This wasn't just a bluff, it was a real battle. Except for being chased by the Xinya clan and almost being wiped out, the Immortal mercenary group had hardly suffered any losses. So even if Zhao Hai showed a strong fighting strength, no one believed that they could capture the Immortal mercenary group.
The reason why these people paid attention to Zhao Hai was because they wanted to see who was so bold to provoke the Immortal mercenary group. Secondly, they wanted to see when the Immortal mercenary group would retaliate against Zhao Hai.
But to everyone's disappointment, Zhao Hai's journey was safe and sound. The Immortal mercenary group seemed to have disappeared. They didn't come to find trouble with Zhao Hai's group. This made everyone somewhat puzzled, because this wasn't the style of the Immortal mercenary group.
In this way, Zhao Hai's group, under the watchful eyes of everyone in the Purcell Duchy, slowly made their way to Casa City. Along the way, they almost became a scenery, making Zhao Hai feel very helpless.
However, their goal was achieved. Everyone's eyes were focused on them. No one paid attention to the Buda clan, and no one paid attention to a small manor on a hill outside Casa City that was bought for a price of one hundred gold coins.
This small manor was originally built by a merchant. No one knew how he chose it. This manor was built on a very remote hill outside of Casa City. The land on the hill was very barren and nothing could grow there. The only thing that could be praised was that there was a hot spring on the hill. The manor was built on top of this hot spring, enclosing the hot spring in the middle of the manor.
Obviously, the merchant wanted to come to this small manor from time to time for a vacation and soak in the hot spring. Unfortunately, he later went bankrupt, and because this manor was too remote, no one was willing to buy it. After Green heard the news, he immediately bought it. Although this small manor wasn't worth one hundred gold coins, Green didn't only buy the manor, he also bought the hill where the manor was located.
