"Wait …"
Just as Han Dong and Eugenice were about to follow, Bopp suddenly stopped them.
"Don't be in a hurry to follow. Although I don't sense what it is, the possibility of it being a 'lure' is high.
The most important thing is that it can absorb your attack rays, which is in line with the characteristics of Undead. "
"Undead?! Why is there such a thing as undead here? "
Eugenice was confused. He didn't know the real purpose of this trip. He was only told to explore by Han Dong.
Han Dong immediately explained:
"Ahem … Eugenice, you should have heard of it, right? As early as ancient times, after the Book of the Dead was fixed as taboo knowledge that hindered the development of the world, a large part of it was torn up and thrown into the [Shattered Dimension].
The reason why this area is so stable is because
Bopp and I speculated that it was the influence of the remnant pages of the Book of the Dead that could form such a stable area in the Shattered Dimension.
Weren't you sleeping before? I didn't tell you in detail. "
"Since you speculated that this place was affected by the remnant pages, why …" Eugenice was stunned halfway through his words. He obviously figured it out. "From the beginning, the purpose of your expedition was for the Book of the Dead. The guidance of the Void was just an excuse.
I didn't understand such a simple thing at first. "
Perhaps it was because looking for the corpse gave Eugenice a headache, but now he realized that he was actually working for Han Dong.
"Mutual benefit. Aren't we also helping you look for 'old corpses'? Corpses affected by the Book of the Dead might be more suitable …
And an area like this that is affected by the Book of the Dead is more stable, and the preserved ancient relics are more complete. When the time comes, the relics obtained will mainly be divided between you and Bopp. "
Eugenice had already obtained a corpse and was tricked into such a deep position. Of course, he didn't want to give up.
Pa pa pa ~
Bopp gently patted Eugenice's back, and a void whisper went straight to his brain:
"Eugenice, the reason why we came to you was largely because of the teacher's request … Just like your previous question, we actually have other candidates. Aslan can completely replace your current position.
Teacher has always been concerned about the development of the Shugas clan and your situation.]
His words were like a shot of strength that went straight into Eugenice's heart. His slightly fluctuating mood immediately calmed down.
"Let's have a seat in the cubicle first. I'll briefly explain [Undead].
After all, this was a 'threat' from a very long time ago. Along with the dismantling, suppression, and exile of the Book of Necromancy, this sort of danger no longer exists. All of you probably don't have a deep understanding of it. "
Everyone temporarily entered the old house between the bunkers.
The extremely narrow space was crammed full of stone beds with upper, middle, and lower bunks.
Bopp set up a "Void Barrier" to completely seal off the entrance.
"You should have heard that the Book of the Dead Spirit was able to spread the concept of its existence throughout the universe. A large number of Fiends were affected and instantly set off a journey to search for the book.
Even if he didn't touch the real thing,
However, as they got closer and closer to the location of the real book, the thoughts of the Mantis Demons would be affected and changed. Some kind of forbidden secret technique would be gradually engraved in their minds and eventually activated.
Turning Mantis Demons into Undead Spirits.
Even some of the old Wangdu would be affected and would privately search for the real book.
Although most of the Fiends affected were Mythical Fiends and below, it still took a lot of effort from the old kings to deal with this matter. This incident caused the development of the world to regress by nearly a hundred years.
The root of the difficulty was that these Undead Spirits transformed from Fiends could be defined as [Perfect Individuals].
The most direct manifestation was that their appearance would gradually become closer to that of humans.
In the process of being affected by the Book of the Dead Spirit, their various flaws, which couldn't be fixed through evolution and growth, were slowly being filled in.
Not only did they have strength that surpassed those of the same level, but they also had immunity to all kinds of energy attacks.
Simply put, they had the two characteristics of [Strong Physique] and [Magic Immunity].
Just like the Shugas Clan that the Ancients spent a lot of effort to create, it integrated the strengths of a large number of Fiends and erased some of their flaws. Thus, they were born with extra strength.
Eugenice, you should know this feeling better than any of us. "
"Just being affected by the book has such an effect? When the Ancients created our clan, they didn't just spend thousands of years and a large amount of resources. They also paid a great price. "
"Of course, it's not that simple.
The changes brought about by the Book of the Dead Spirit have problems in themselves.
The process of being affected and eventually transforming into Undead Spirits is actually a 'failed transformation.'
This group of Fiends themselves couldn't withstand such 'perfection.' Even if they were left alone, they would naturally die in a few days or no more than half a year.
Back then, it was more difficult to completely kill the Undead Spirits that had infiltrated the entire universe. Therefore, Teacher directly joined forces with the superiors to control and disassemble the Book of the Dead Spirit to cut off the source of infection.
It didn't take long for the Undead Spirits hiding in the universe to die out. "
Eugenice asked, somewhat puzzled.
"According to what you said,
This Frozen Land has drifted in the broken dimensions for who knows how many years. Even if the guys here turned into Undead Spirits, they should have died long ago. They shouldn't have existed until now, right? "
"There are indeed many individuals that died here. Otherwise, according to the density of the bunker, we would have encountered them as soon as we came in.
I suspect that under the influence of the broken dimensions, a small portion of the Undead Spirits had undergone a deeper 'mutation' that had never appeared before, forming a brand new species of Undead Spirits.
Next, we may face a special lifeform that we have never seen before. Use physical attacks as much as possible. Once I feel that something is wrong, I will take you and evacuate. "
"Okay."
Eugenice nodded, his expression somewhat solemn.
Han Dong didn't participate in the conversation the entire time. He just quietly pondered.
He was the one who recognized and held part of the Book of the Dead Spirit. He knew better than anyone what Pope meant by 'perfect.'
The Advance Scroll had already shown Han Dong the essence of this book. While learning different scrolls, he was slowly making up for his own shortcomings.
They set off again.
This time, Han Dong and Eugenice walked side by side in front.
The surface of Eugenice's black flesh robe was also covered with eyes. The tentacles growing on his back were ready to draw weapons at any time.
They walked along the passageway between the bunkers and finally circled to the central room.
This should be the activity center.
In the past, when the Ice Demons didn't need to leave the bunker for resource extraction, hunting, and so on, they should have concentrated their activities here.
Now.
There was only one [person] here, and he appeared to be in a very strange position.
A skull with white hair was connected to the ceiling through joints similar to the cervical vertebrae. It could move freely.
A female body that was as translucent as ice crystals was sitting cross-legged on the ground. It seemed that she was in the middle of some kind of meditation.
The skull opened and closed.
It emitted a soft ancient Mantis Demon language. "I've been waiting for you for a long time. It's been a long time since a living person came here. Come and sit."
Han Dong motioned for the two to wait at the door. He walked forward alone.
