Chapter 1367 Undead Energy
"Most of those natural energies carry the nature of 'life', while the energy in the corpse carries the nature of 'death'."
Through Gargamel's description, Zhou Xu basically figured out the matter.
Allowing the undead to absorb large amounts of natural energy is like tying a vampire up and exposing him to the sun.
"Considering the convenience of naming, why not call it 'Undead Energy'?"
"'Undead'?"
Gargamel kept repeating the word and felt that it fit him surprisingly well.
"As expected of you, my great master."
"cough!"
Hearing Gargamel's flattery, Zhou Xu let out a dry cough and quickly brought the subject back to the main topic.
"The energy you sensed was from the corpses brought by the large army? Those corpses shouldn't have arrived yet, right?"
After entering the territory of Tonglu Fort, generals including Li Ce took a small part of the troops and left the main force behind to arrive first.
At this point in time, the main force should still be behind, and the corpses they carried could not possibly be in the camp at this point in time.
"no."
Gargamel shook his head.
"It's in a corner of this camp, but there's not much energy."
Zhou Xu was stunned for a second when he heard this, and then he stood up as if he had thought of something.
"You lead the way and go over there and take a look."
"As you wish, my Lord."
Gargamel's loyalty of one hundred makes him obey Zhou Xu in everything, but for the sake of low profile, Zhou Xu just put a cloak on Gargamel.
Although this soul fire looks like fire, it is essentially different from ordinary flames. As of now, it does not have a burning effect.
Putting on the cloak, Gargamel, relying on his perception of the energy of the undead, quickly brought Zhou Xu to the place he expected.
Sure enough, that was where the goblin corpses were stored! As far as he knew, Diak should have absorbed all the undead energy contained in these corpses.
But at this time Zhou Xu did not doubt Gargamel's words. He thought about it and quickly realized a new situation.
"Can the undead energy in a corpse be restored naturally?"
Realizing this, Zhou Xu slapped his forehead and laughed at himself for being so stupid.
Everything in this world has energy, and after being sucked away, given enough time, it can slowly recover. So why can't the undead energy within the corpse recover naturally?
This is undoubtedly an important discovery!
[Perhaps I can build special undead cemeteries everywhere, gather all the corpses in these cemeteries, and let the corpses generate undead energy for the undead to absorb on a daily basis! ]
Once this idea comes true, the "cremation" industry within their Great Zhou will probably suffer a devastating blow.
Of course, it is still unrealistic to use this to create a perpetual motion machine.
After all, under the premise that "undead energy" is also regarded as a kind of natural energy, this energy can be absorbed quickly, but it is so slow to recover that it is a headache.
But even so, in a peaceful period without war, it is good to provide the undead in the country with an opportunity to obtain undead energy and improve their strength.
At the same time, unlike conventional natural energy, even if this undead energy is absorbed, it should not have any negative impact on the natural environment.
In just a short while, Zhou Xu had already started thinking about the specific implementation plan.
In fact, this matter itself is not complicated. To put it simply, cancel cremation, and then arrange the undead units that need to absorb the energy of the dead to act as gravekeepers in various cemeteries.
Just as Zhou Xu was thinking about this, Gargamel, with Zhou Xu's permission, quickly cleared out the undead energy in these corpses.
It wasn't much indeed. After absorbing it all, Gargamel's soul fire didn't even change much.
But think about it, how long has it been since Diak and the others drained the energy? It's good to be able to recover a little.
After this, the attribute problem mentioned by Gargamel earlier reminded Zhou Xu of another test.
【Fire attack granted! 】
Inside the tent, Zhou Xu tried to give Gargamel the mantra of 'fire attack', but it failed as expected...
That’s right, even if the truth is bestowed, there is still the possibility of failure.
This is related to the physical attributes of the person being gifted, and the degree of compatibility with the mantra being gifted.
Generally speaking, what doesn’t fit cannot be given.
Looking at their situation, once transformed into the undead, along with the change in race, their physical attributes will also be transformed into special undead attributes.
Apart from some mantras that can ignore attributes and have excellent versatility and adaptability, many mantras with clear attributes cannot be used after being given undead attributes.
In this situation, one can only say that there are gains and losses. Once it is confirmed, it is over. Zhou Xu did not worry too much.
During this process, their main force arrived slowly.
Zhou Xu directly asked Li Ce to find the bodies of all the Hundred Refining Realm cultivators and even the Goblin Shamans.
Among them, there were two more special corpses, which were also sent to Zhou Xu.
The two corpses were the greenskin general who was killed by them outside the grassland pass, and the greenskin king of that greenskin clan.
Both of them are at the Vajra Realm level. When their army went on an expedition, these two corpses were brought out by them as special combat forces.
Later it was discovered that neither Zhou Xu nor Li Ce could use it, so it was left idle and kept on the logistics unit's vehicle until it was sent here.
Zhou Xu actually no longer had high expectations for these two bodies. After all, they had been there for too long.
Even if the soul of a warrior at the Vajra Realm is stronger than that at the Hundred Refinements Realm, it should not be able to withstand such a long period of time.
With this sweep, it was indeed true, the soul had completely dissipated.
It can be considered as a thought. After all, before it was officially confirmed, I couldn't help but think about this matter in my heart. Now it's okay, I don't have to think about it anymore.
During this period, Li Ce moved very quickly, and the bodies of those in the Hundred Refining Realm and Goblin Shamans were quickly brought to Zhou Xu's sight.
These corpses were mainly from that night raid. As for the corpses captured in the earlier battle outside Fort Saint Laurent, they certainly could not have brought them with them throughout the expedition. Before setting off, they had the transport troops send them back to the rear, so there was basically no need to worry about them.
Almost ten days have passed since the night attack.
Among them, there are three green-skinned corpses in the Hundred Refining Realm, and there are even more Goblin Shamans, a total of thirty-nine.
This was also thanks to their Majesty, who flew to the back and performed "Fire Dance" to burn a group of Goblin Shamans on the opposite side to death. Naturally, these corpses were all considered their trophies.
Zhou Xu was overjoyed when he took a look. It was normal that the three green-skinned souls of the Hundred Refining Realm had not dispersed. The key point was the thirty-nine goblin shamans! Their souls were all there! Two of the soul light balls were obviously larger and stronger. There was no need to guess that they had definitely reached the extraordinary realm before they died!
