The Undead Calamity of the Magical Continent 14 (2+3 updates)
Domi led the way according to the route agreed upon with the Undead Lord. The whole journey was incredibly smooth, which also made the orcs even more excited and crazy.
When they were about to reach the most complicated terrain, Domi quickly hid behind a rock, and the undead who had been hiding in the dark launched their attacks.
Various attached magic arrows were ejected and landed on the orcs who were obviously smelling of blood. Most orcs only had the most basic ability of frenzy, and only a few orcs had the ability of petrification, which allowed them to cover their entire bodies with a layer of stone to increase hardness and resistance.
The goblins instinctively dug to bury themselves.
After most of the orcs fell to the ground, unable to withstand the flying arrows, a second wave of melee undead ran out from behind, waving various weapons to attack the surviving but injured orcs.
Orcs fell one after another. The goblins who had avoided the first wave of ranged attacks through the burrows continued to dig down, but were discovered and killed by the undead who had been buried underground long ago.
The war that originally seemed to be one-sided was won by the undead at the lowest cost. Many of their bones were broken, so they simply replaced them with fresher and harder orc bones, and happily spun around and took pictures.
Several orcs who had the same faint smell of blood on them as Domi were captured and huddled together, shivering.
They didn't want to hurt any humans at all, nor did they want to provoke the undead and demons. They were completely swept up in the group of wandering orcs and didn't even dare to escape.
Otherwise, before they starve to death, they will be killed by Xiong Ya's loyal subordinates as disobedient traitors and become food for other orcs.
Xiong Ya is a brainless, overly arrogant and brutal orc leader. His loyal and cruel subordinates half coerce and half attract many other crazy orcs who are also without any bottom line.
They, the orcs, were extremely conspicuous on the road of escape. In order to survive as much as possible, they had to follow the orc group. It was said that Xiong Ya planned to occupy the nearest human town.
They planned to take advantage of the chaos to escape at that time. As the people in the town were about to face a terrible crisis, they could not save so many people and could only inform a few people at most.
As many as can survive are counted.
But they never expected that the wandering group of orcs who could even take out a small town would be so easily defeated by the undead who no one cared about.
Xiong Ya didn't expect this either.
If he really fights hard, even the third level may not be his opponent. He may die, but the opponent will definitely die at his hands before him.
He just didn't want to waste his energy at this time.
But the temptation in front of him and his excessive contempt taught him a lesson again.
Xiong Yaqi's face turned red, and he activated his bloodline power with a furious roar. He turned from a two-meter-tall orc into a real giant monster, with ferocious fangs and sharp claws emitting a breath of fire.
He angrily rushed towards the dense crowd of undead opposite him, and knocked them away at an extremely fast speed. Skeletons were scattered all over the ground, and the soul fire in the eye sockets of several undead showed signs of being extinguished.
Suddenly, a power that only the undead followers could feel penetrated into the body of each undead. The pale golden light enveloped their soul fire, healing the side effects of the recent injuries.
The soul fires of the undead one after another shone brightly again, and heads lay on the ground, appearing and disappearing in the forests and valleys. The bones were trembling, as if trying to form a complete skeleton.
Xiong Ya, who was furious to the point of losing his mind, couldn't understand what was happening in front of him, and once again roared and rushed towards the undead who were slowly standing up.
Domi, who was hiding in the dark, was extremely anxious and shouted in a hurry: "Get out of the way——"
The undead also wanted to dodge, but for some reason their skeletons were inexplicably stiff and they could only watch Xiong Ya about to knock them away.
Luo Chen's soul fire flashed again, directly clearing away the stiffness buff on all the undead.
Obviously, this is also one of Xiong Ya's innate abilities.
In the distance, Bernard, who had just chopped down a barely second-level orc, didn't bother to wipe the blood off his face. He picked up his mace and smashed it hard on the orc's tail. A voice that only the undead could hear rang out: "I'll smash you to pieces."
He believed that Lord Luo could definitely get rid of this orc, but as a follower of the undead, how could he let Lord Luo condescend to kill this disgusting orc?
He must perform well and try to get Lord Luo to give him more traffic.
He wants to play with the spirit network all the time!
Luo Chen had no choice but to put away his power and use the soul fire to give all the undead new attribute powers again to clear away all the negative states.
The undead were instantly revived with full health, and they picked up the weapons at their feet one by one. The fire of their souls continued to surge, and they looked extremely excited.
The silent cry is expressed through the post that is pushed to the top of the forum.
【Go! 】
[We must not let the orcs take those humans away! ]
[We can't let these orcs destroy our mountains, and we can't make Lord Luo angry.]
No, it should be said that they must not let anything happen to Lord Luo. Besides the fact that their lives are closely connected with Lord Luo, the key point is what if Lord Luo is unhappy and causes problems with the spiritual network?
Luo Chen looked at the strong power of faith that inexplicably surged in again and fell into deep silence.
These undead souls regard the spiritual network as more important than their lives.
It is conceivable that for the undead who have lost all interest in the world, the spiritual network has become their only spiritual support.
The humans on the other side of the mountain gathered around Dorn again, their expressions filled with anxiety and nervousness as they asked, "What did the post say?"
They could promise not to cause trouble, but they could not suppress their concern and anxiety about the battle. In addition, Dorn was the only one with a spiritual network, so they could only get the most accurate information from Dorn.
Dorn didn't avoid the topic like he had last time. Instead, he excitedly pounded his thigh and exclaimed, "Great!" Then he quickly told everyone the current situation: "The undead ambushed and killed all the stray orcs who entered the mountains. Only the stray orc leader is still alive."
Everyone's heart was in turmoil, and they felt happy and worried at the same time.
The good news is that all those terrible and ferocious wandering orcs were killed, leaving only a wandering chief. He sounds very powerful, but I don’t know if the undead can deal with him.
Dorn refreshed the post and added, "Lord Bernard and all the undead have been given new powers by Lord Luo. They are currently encircling and suppressing that orc."
"God of Creation, please bless them to defeat the orc leader."
Everyone prayed silently. So far, no one noticed that there was anything wrong with asking the God of Creation to bless the undead. After all, the undead and demons were believers of the God of Death.
The power of the God of Creation is incompatible with the God of Death.
The war was still going on on the other side of the mountain. Bernard's mace was like a powerful weapon. Every heavy blow could cause considerable damage to Xiong Ya. A large part of his hard skin, which he was proud of, was dented and blood oozed out from it.
The closer the orcs are to danger and death, the crazier they become.
All the undead were on high alert, none of them relaxed. They attacked Xiong Ya without hesitation and with all their might, trying to cause more damage to him.
Xiong Ya became more and more crazy, and his strength reached its peak at this moment. He knocked away all the densely packed undead around him and bit the bone frame with his teeth. The bone frame that was bitten quickly broke into several pieces.
The undead cannot feel pain and rarely feel fear.
They seemed to be fearless and still held the weapons in their hands firmly and stabbed them into Xiong Ya's most vulnerable eyeballs.
"roar--"
Xiong Ya's eyeballs were in extreme pain, and his vision was reduced by more than half. The pain and crisis made him bite and hit the things around him desperately.
One of the undead seized the opportunity to pick up the undead skull that had just performed exceptionally well, and ran back with his two leg bones.
The undead can receive Bernard's orders at the same time and can instantly achieve a level of tacit cooperation without any training, as if they have become one mechanical killing weapon.
Bernard seized a weakness of Xiong Ya and quickly smashed down the mace. The surrounding undead also waved their weapons at the same time. Magic of various colors burst out and the smoke covered Xiong Ya's figure.
All they could hear was Xiong Ya's hoarse and frantic roar, his body struggling and twisting constantly. Finally, the sound and movement gradually weakened, and the soul fire in Bernard's eyes flashed again.
The undead quickly launched a new round of attacks.
Sure enough, another roar came from inside, even more powerful than before. Xiong Ya had been pretending to be weak to lure the undead closer, but Bernard saw through it all.
And this time, Xiong Ya's breath really weakened.
After several minutes, there was no movement inside. Bernard, a second-level cultivator, sensed the breath of death coming from inside, which meant that Xiong Ya was truly dead.
The fog gradually dissipated.
Bernard began to order all the undead to clean up the battlefield and leave all the orcs' skeletons behind to replenish the bones and joints damaged by the undead in this war.
The food, even various seasonings and other sundries left by the orcs were all piled together, the ground was covered with thick soil, and the corpses were burned clean to prevent the plague from harming the humans in the mountains.
The six orcs who were not killed trembled with fear even more.
Just looking at the way these undead were digging bones and burning corpses, it was obvious how many times they must have done it to be so skilled and coordinated.
And those orcs who were not silenced might face even more terrible punishment...
One of the orcs was the youngest, and he had never shed a tear even when being bullied by other orcs. But now he couldn't help but sniff and said, "If I had known... I wouldn't have escaped."
His tribe was extremely small, and he was captured and locked in a cage by another orc tribe that had traded with humans. It was said that he would be sold to a remote place to mine by that human. Not only would he not have enough to eat all year round, he might also be beaten. The most terrifying thing was that if the mine collapsed, he would die in it.
But it is better than facing unknown dangers now.
The crying of the young orc soon infected the other orcs. No orc dared to glare at the undead who had the power of killing. They could only grit their teeth and wait for the result with red eyes.
"Hey, stop crying."
"I'm talking about you."
A familiar voice came from not far away, and the orcs were startled and looked over in panic, their pupils widening instantly.
"Is it you?"
"Domi?"
The orc boy recognized the orc who came out from the crevice of the rock. The undead beside him ignored him. Then he thought about the orc's initiative to bring all the orcs here.
All of a sudden, he understood everything.
Domi brought the orcs here on purpose.
"Domi, you..."
He originally wanted to ask Domi why he listened to the undead and harmed the orcs, but then he changed his mind and thought, even the orcs wanted to eat Domi and them, so in essence, there was no difference between the undead and Xiong Ya.
wrong.
It should be said that there is still a difference.
At least in Xiong Ya's hands, Domi would be torn to pieces and eaten in no time at all, and they might also die in this war.
Instead of like now.
Domi is still alive, even they are still alive!
Due to time constraints, Domi appeared only to give instructions to these orcs who were also helpless like him.
"When you go to see Lord Luo later, you must behave well, okay?"
"Lord Luo is a very good undead. He won't harm orcs like us who have good intentions."
Afraid that the orcs wouldn't believe him, he pointed to a burnt area in the distance and said, "Don't you realize that those dead ones are all orcs who have eaten their own kind and humans?"
These orcs had long lost the most basic principles of being intelligent beings, and took pleasure in eating and abusing their own kind and humans. In order to survive, he had to kill the humans who wanted to kill him a long time ago.
His purpose was to survive.
There are good and bad orcs, and the same goes for humans.
Before the orcs could ask Domi what he meant, they were grabbed by several undead and walked in a certain direction. Domi followed them without saying a word.
The orcs were nervous, but seeing how calm Domi was, their struggles gradually subsided, and they cooperated with the undead and moved forward.
The trees and stones around them gradually became fewer, and when they passed through the high stone wall, everything in front of them suddenly became clear, making the orcs' eyes widen.
This also includes Domi.
The place where Domi was taken last time was not here. This place was obviously deeper in the mountains, and it was also the real base camp of these undead.
Domi's face showed excitement.
Perhaps he would be accepted by the undead and protected like those humans.
But the faces of the other orcs turned even paler. They knew very well that the more they knew, the harder it would be to leave here.
Rows of undead were quietly looking at the orcs, the soul fire in their eyes constantly flickering, as if they were communicating with each other.
But the orcs cannot hear this form of communication.
In this extremely quiet and solemn atmosphere, all the undead turned their heads in unison. A skeleton was walking towards them from a distance. It looked no different from the others, except that the soul fire in its eye sockets was light green.
He was surrounded by many respectful undead, and he also saw the second-level undead, which was a powerful weapon on the battlefield at that time. The opponent was the most powerful.
But even such a powerful undead actually half-knelt down from the bottom of his heart when he saw that undead, as if submitting to the other party.
The orcs became even more frightened.
This second-level undead is already very powerful, so how terrifying and powerful should that undead be?
Is he really a good undead as Domi said?
When this thought came to their minds, a voice appeared in the orcs' minds at the same time. It was gentle, calm, tolerant but inviolable, making them instinctively want to get close to it, but they dared not offend.
"You don't have any trace of having eaten your own kind or humans. You now have two choices."
The orcs raised their heads nervously and anxiously, then quickly lowered their heads.
Domi was the only orc who was not afraid but just nervous and excited. He took the initiative to express his opinion: "Lord Luo, I want to stay here."
When he was luring the orcs over, he actually had a little doubt about everything Lord Luo said, not to mention that he had no other choice at the time.
But as the battle between the undead and the orcs began, he glimpsed a lot of useful information.
for example……
Those undead who were originally at a disadvantage suddenly revived with full health. For example, after the undead who bravely stabbed Xiong Ya's eyes had his skeleton bitten to pieces, the other undead would rush to rescue its skull as soon as possible.
Everyone knows.
The soul fire of the undead has not been extinguished, and the skeleton can be replaced at any time to continue using it. At most, it will consume some soul fire. It will take no more than half a month of sleeping underground to recover.
There are many undead.
Most high-level undead don’t care too much about the life or death of their followers, let alone the relationship between undead, and they will never take the risk to pick up the other party’s bones.
This means that these undead souls have the most basic emotions and have a very good relationship with each other, and their masters are willing to expend a lot of magical power to save their followers. This behavior indicates that what Lord Luo said is true.
Those humans must have been rescued and protected by these undead. Even at the critical moment of life and death, the fragile humans were not asked to come out to share the risk.
Wouldn't it be nice if he could stay too?
The other orcs looked at Domi in shock, and then they heard the surrounded undead say, "Yes, as long as you work diligently for me, I will always protect your safety. We can discuss the specific details later."
Domi knelt down without hesitation and said, "Sir, can you also leave a mark on my soul? I want to become your most trusted orc subordinate."
All the undead looked at Domi in unison. After being shocked, they felt an infinite sense of crisis. Isn't this orc too good at flattering?
His attitude towards loyalty is more upright and positive than theirs.
As Billy aspires to be Lord Luo's most loyal younger brother, he has a strong sense of crisis, but he will not speak out to stop it at this time.
He could see that this orc was very smart, and he was even more worried that this orc would secretly betray Lord Luo. If he could find a way to get hold of the orc's handle, it would only be beneficial to Lord Luo.
Luo Chen was silent for a few seconds and said, "Are you sure?"
Domi nodded without hesitation and spoke his mind from the heart: "Besides wanting to express my loyalty to you, I also have some selfish motives of my own."
Those undead who become his followers can be resurrected with full health instantly, which means that as long as they are still alive, they can be rescued by this undead master at any time.
After leaving a mark in the soul, no matter where he is in the world, he can be found by the Lord of the Undead, which is equivalent to having a life-saving trump card.
He expressed all these thoughts without hesitation, even if Lord Luo was dissatisfied with it, he had to accept it. He had to be 100% loyal.
The undead glared at him.
Such treacherous orcs, even more treacherous than humans.
Luo Chen didn't mind these things. He just saw the belief in wanting to survive in Domi, who had been actively showing his strengths from the beginning to now.
But he has not lost his original heart and still harbors a trace of kindness.
Orcs like this should be able to quickly learn sales techniques to promote the spiritual network, right?
A golden light overflowed from Luo Chen's palm and quickly flowed into Domi's soul, leaving his mark. Even if Domi died, his soul would instantly return to him.
This is another kind of protection.
At the same time, Luo Chen also placed the spiritual net into Duomi's soul and consciousness. No matter how smart and calm Duomi was, he still exclaimed when he saw the spell box that inexplicably appeared in front of him, "What, what is this?"
【Welcome to the spiritual network——】
An ethereal and gentle voice sounded in his mind, accompanied by a line of text. He could not understand the common characters, but he could understand the common language. Another voice asked him if he needed to change to the language of other races.
He said yes in a trembling voice.
The voice asked him to choose Dragon, Orc, Goblin or other languages, based on the several options displayed in the spell box.
He was even more shocked.
What kind of magical spell is this that can actually communicate with him and even provide options for speaking other races' languages?
Orcs do not know magic, and most rely on talent and bloodline power to distinguish strength, but there are a few orcs whose mental strength is strong enough to become an orc mage.
But currently only one orc in the orc tribe has done it.
Now this orc has become the most powerful priest of the orc tribe. No race dares to provoke this orc tribe. At the same time, all orcs can glimpse the future from the true barbarism and ignorance.
All orcs respect the priest from the bottom of their hearts and firmly believe that this priest will one day become powerful enough to become the Beast God, the existence closest to the Creator God.
But even a priest could not make him learn spells instantly, nor could he make spells communicate like intelligent life.
Luo Chen, the only undead who could communicate with other races, warned: "This spell won't hurt you. Don't be too scared. Just follow the tutorial step by step."
Duomi lowered his head, knelt down and kowtowed in awe and excitement: "Domi understands."
The orcs next to them were even more frightened.
Why is the conversation between this undead—oh no, it should be called Lord Luo’s undead—and Domi so strange, they can’t understand it at all!
They cast their eyes on Domi, trying to draw their attention back, but Domi was obviously in an extremely excited and focused state, his eyes were blank, and his face showed expressions of surprise and shock at times.
It's like being possessed by an evil spirit.
Domi felt that this spell was very magical. It was clearly floating in front of his eyes but it did not affect his normal vision, and he could not touch anything when he stretched out his hand.
He even closed his eyes, but the spell called Spirit Net was still displayed steadily in front of his eyes. No, it should be in his mind.
He studied attentively, operating the arrows step by step according to the novice tutorial. He quickly mastered the basic operations and began to explore several functions of the spiritual network.
【My Spiritual Network】【Map】
These are two icons that exist in the spiritual network. When his eyes fall on these two icons, there will be voice translation simultaneously.
Orcs have no written language, only the simplest hieroglyphs. He can only compare these characters one by one with the common language and the spiritual network.
Perhaps it won't be long before he can learn common writing.
Even if the spiritual network only has this function, it is enough to attract countless orcs. After all, there are very few people who can speak both the orc language and the common language. As an orc who has difficulty even protecting himself, no one is willing to teach him even if he gives everything.
But now it's different.
He was clearly aware that his destiny was about to change dramatically.
And all of this was given by Lord Luo.
Luo Chen received another wave of faith from Duomi. It was so strong that he sighed inwardly. There were simply too many illiterate people in this world.
The spiritual network that carries knowledge will definitely change the world.
Luo Chen was very optimistic about this orc who could quickly seize every opportunity. At the same time, he cast his gaze on the orcs who were still trembling and continued his previous words.
"First, stay here. I will shelter you, hire you, and pay you a salary. Second..."
"Let's choose the first one."
“I choose the first one too.”
The frightened orcs automatically thought that Luo Chen's second choice would definitely cost them their lives, so they chose the first one without thinking.
Although they were not as smart as Domi, the more wild creatures were, the stronger their intuition about danger was, and they quickly chose what was most beneficial to them.
As for whether Lord Luo will keep his promises, this is no longer something these orcs need to consider. Anyway, they just need to save their lives first.
One of the youngest orcs mustered up the courage to step forward and bowed his head. "Can I, can I also become your follower like Domi?"
He had spent a few days with Domi. When Domi was pulled out by Xiong Ya, he wanted to stop it, but he couldn't. He could only watch Domi leave with worry and fear.
He clearly remembered that Domi was seriously injured at that time.
But now, although Domi's external injuries are still there, he can walk on his own and is even flexible enough to kneel down and kowtow and then get up again. There is no sign of stagnation throughout the whole process.
He felt like he understood something.
Domi and Lord Luo also mentioned some magic spell. He didn't know what the spell was, but he knew that it would be right if he followed Domi and made the same choice.
Not only that, he also looked back at the other orcs.
The orcs looked at each other, then knelt down again and said the same words as the boy.
They definitely can't escape.
In this case, it would be better to express loyalty in exchange for Lord Luo's trust.
Duomi struggled to divert his attention from the spiritual network and knelt down with them. "I will make sure they don't betray the Undead Clan."
Luo Chen's gaze fell on the young man's embarrassed yet unusually bright eyes, which looked like a weed that remained stubborn and tenacious in the wind and rain. He suddenly asked, "Can you act?"
The boy was stunned.
Domi immediately told the boy, "It's the human profession of performing in the opera house."
The boy hesitated and said nothing.
He has always been struggling to survive and has never been involved in acting.
Luo Chen put it another way: "A half-orc boy lives in the wilderness. He fights wolves and snatches food from their mouths. He doesn't know what magic is, but he knows that he is not welcomed by humans or orcs. However, his identity as a half-orc makes him a target of human nobles, and he encounters another group of orcs who have been captured as slaves."
Luo Chen spoke slowly, easily drawing everyone's attention. Their minds were consumed by the story that followed this young man.
In order to survive, the boy persuaded these orcs to create chaos and take the opportunity to escape. His plan was extremely meticulous. Even though his strength was not as good as other orcs, he inexplicably became the leader of this group of orcs.
The boy's plan was successful.
Before escaping, the boy held a dagger across the neck of the human hunter who obeyed the noble to capture the orcs, and took him away.
The hunter was forced to flee with the boy and the orcs. The boy suppressed all the orcs who wanted to hurt the hunter and made an agreement with the hunter.
He can protect the hunter from being harmed by other orcs, but the price is that he must teach the boy the common language and all the basic knowledge about humans.
The boy learned quickly and turned around to teach other orcs.
When they were about to reach a village, the boy stopped the other orcs from harming humans and asked a question.
"How is our harming of innocent humans any different from how those humans harmed us?"
The hunter who was listening nearby was greatly shocked.
Then, the boy chose to let the hunter go. He led the orcs to a farther place, established a tribe, and began to grow food and build a safe fortress with the knowledge he learned.
More and more wandering orcs gathered around and joined the boy's tribe.
An orc boy who once wandered in the wilderness became the leader who ruled over tens of thousands of orcs.
When Luo Chen said this, Domi no longer cared about the spiritual network. He was completely immersed in this ups and downs and extremely immersive story. He felt very involved.
The other undead were also upset when they heard this.
Even though the protagonist is an orc who is stupid and smelly with muscles in their impression, the smart orc boy who fights back from danger to become the leader in the story is different. They learned to urge for updates on the spot without any guidance.
"Lord Luo, what happened next?"
Thank you for studying today. I threw a mine. I love you.
Yesterday's update was short because I suddenly felt unwell, had a headache and felt weak all over. I took some medicine and I've barely recovered today. I should be almost better after taking some medicine tonight.
Today I have successfully reached nearly 10,000 updates, so I’m giving myself a thumbs up.
