Chapter 1358 The value is still rising
Judging from the current scale of the Centaur Skeleton Cavalry, there is basically not much room for them to maneuver on the main battlefield, mainly because their scale is too small.
However, it is still in the early stages of development, and Zhou Xu is not in a hurry to send them into the battlefield. The most important thing right now is to continue to conduct in-depth research on the Centaur Skeleton Cavalry.
A lot of information may not be accurate if we only look at Diack, and we still need more examples for comparison.
Now, after converting all the other Centaur cavalry who died in battle into skeleton cavalry, Zhou Xu had enough samples for comparison.
In this process, he could basically confirm that, as he had previously guessed, the consciousness of the undead was linked to the strength of their souls.
When their souls are not strong enough, their consciousness tends to be confused. But for someone like Diak, after a successful breakthrough, his soul strength increases and his consciousness becomes clearer, which also allows him to have the ability to speak.
That’s right, language ability can only be acquired after a breakthrough.
As of now, other Centaur Skeleton Cavalry have no way of speaking through soul fire vibrations like Diak can.
On this basis, Zhou Xu also communicated directly with Diak to obtain some information.
Of course, there are some things that Diak himself is not particularly clear about at this stage, for example...
"Diak, what would happen if your soul fire was completely burned out during the battle? Would you die completely?"
This is undoubtedly an important issue.
But Diak himself was not sure.
"Your Majesty, I am not particularly clear about this matter."
After getting used to this way of speaking, Diak now speaks much more fluently, and the initial discontinuity is basically gone.
Zhou Xu didn't hesitate about this answer and just nodded.
[This test definitely cannot be done with Centaur Skeleton Cavalry. Let's find a green-skinned corpse to do the experiment. ]
Thinking of this, Zhou Xu simply changed the question.
"By the way, there is also the way you restore your strength. In addition to absorbing the energy from the corpse and having me inject energy into you, is there any other way to restore it?"
Diak knows something about this issue.
"In fact, when my soul fire is burning, it will naturally absorb the natural energy in the air."
Zhou Xu's eyes lit up when he heard this. This was a new discovery.
He had no intention of speaking, so he just raised his hand and motioned for Diak to continue.
"From what I feel right now, it's just like a normal creature breathing, but the absorption efficiency is very low. At the same time, I currently have no way to improve this efficiency. Normally, it's only enough to maintain the current state."
"If I did something during this period that increased consumption, the efficiency would not be able to keep up at all."
Zhou Xu asked a few more questions about the information provided by Diak, and only then did he completely understand the matter.
Assuming that the energy obtained by Diak from natural breathing is compared to the number '1', then the normal consumption of Diak's mere existence is also '1'.
To put it simply, they cancel each other out.
On this basis, if Diak directly consumed nearly one-third of his own energy as he did before, he would not be able to recover naturally alone. He would have to rely on absorbing the energy from the corpse.
The efficiency of this natural recovery only allows the Undead units to maintain the energy in their bodies and not be consumed by time when they do not need to fight and remain on standby.
After all, this race itself doesn't seem to need to do anything else or develop.
This characteristic of theirs is completely consistent with the situation of the undead, but in a civilization that needs normal development, they are an extreme group.
Judging from this situation, we can basically only fight them.
But from another perspective, if they can use undead units to replace normal human troops in the future of the Great Zhou, then those soldiers who were originally going to form human troops can be put into other positions as labor.
As long as they adjust the method appropriately, the acquisition of undead units can still allow the Great Zhou to obtain more labor in disguise.
On a new day, Zhou Xu asked Drogo to find him a few greenskin corpses for subsequent testing.
After all, before this, Copperforge had been fighting with the Slaughter Clan, and during this battle, Drogo and his men not only killed greenskins, but also seized a lot of spoils.
They also dealt with and collected all the greenskin corpses.
"Your Majesty, this one is from the Hundred Refining Realm, and the other two are ordinary ones."
Looking at the three greenskin skeletons sent by Drogo, Zhou Xu quickly determined with his senses that the souls of the two ordinary greenskin skeletons had dissipated, while there was still a faint soul light ball in the greenskin skeleton in the Hundred Refinements Realm.
In order to verify his previous speculation, Zhou Xu directly cast the mantra at the two ordinary green-skinned skeletons.
[Skeleton soldiers resurrected! 】
At that moment, the power of the truth spread out, but dissipated into the air in the blink of an eye.
It turns out that once the soul light ball dissipates, it is impossible to use mantras to transform it into undead.
On the other hand, the green-skinned skeleton of the Hundred Refinements Realm...
[Skeleton soldiers resurrected! 】
Without too many surprises, along with the surge of soul fire and a series of 'click' sounds, the green-skinned skeleton was successfully transformed into an undead unit.
During this time, Zhou Xu also took a look at the opponent's attribute panel. It was a standard three-star bravery in a single item, and his loyalty to him was directly raised to 100 points.
Judging from Diak's experience, as long as this green-skinned skeleton soldier absorbs enough energy, he should be able to return to the level of the Hundred Refinements Realm soon.
But before that, he had to do a test first.
"Drogo, I'm sorry to trouble you for a moment."
After receiving the order and arriving at the center of the camp, Drogo beat the green-skinned skeleton soldier to pieces without saying a word.
As the soul fire went out, the green-skinned skeleton soldiers that had been transformed into undead once again turned into a pile of dry bones, scattered all over the ground.
Seeing this, Zhou Xu scanned with his senses.
【The soul is still there. 】
Without thinking too much, he just saw him perform the mantra again.
[Skeleton soldiers resurrected! 】
In an instant, under the guidance of the power of mantra, the soul fire that had been extinguished was rekindled, the corpses were reunited, and the green-skinned skeleton soldiers stood up again.
"Do you remember the battle just now?"
Looking at the green-skinned skeleton soldier who stood up again, Zhou Xu asked a question.
The green-skinned skeleton soldier stood there, and after being stunned for a few seconds, he nodded, which made Zhou Xu look happy.
This is undoubtedly another discovery that can enhance the value of the undead.
Facts have proved that even if the soul fire burns out and turns into a pile of bones again, as long as the mantra is chanted again before their souls dissipate, they can be awakened again.
Considering this ability, the undead race really does possess the ability of "immortality".
Even Zhou Xu himself was a little moved.
[If I die someday, can I ask someone to transform me into an undead? But if I do that, won't I have to obey them completely?]
