Seeing Li Ziyu's figure, Liu Xingxing's frightened heart suddenly calmed down. He stood up and stumbled to his side.
"Xingxing, I think you really found an incredible treasure this time." Li Ziyu patted Liu Xingxing's shoulder and said with a smile.
"Stop it, boss. It's scary here." Liu Xingxing didn't like this kind of environment. It would be better if there were treasures or gold bars. There were corpses everywhere. He didn't like this kind of treasure.
"Do you have any special lighting methods that can illuminate a large area? I want to confirm it again." Li Ziyu asked.
Although there is soul fire to illuminate, but in this empty environment, the soul fire is like a firefly in the dark night, and the range of illumination is limited.
"Yes, but there is only one chance." Liu Xingxing said as he took out something that looked like a firecracker from the backpack behind him.
This thing is called a simple emergency flare, produced by the system, and its main function is to send signals when surviving.
Liu Xingxing had few resources and could only manage to make this one.
"Enough, light up the surroundings and let us see if this place is what I thought." Li Ziyu said.
Liu Xingxing nodded and twisted the button hard. The flare was launched and exploded in mid-air. The bright flames illuminated everything around it.
Corpse!
All corpses!
Everywhere they looked were piles of bones, forming mountains. They were at the bottom of a sunken pit of corpses.
It’s true.
Li Ziyu and Liu Xingxing stared blankly at the pile of corpses around them.
This is not a mountain range at all, but a huge pile of corpses, or a mountain range made of corpses!
Countless corpses were piled up together and covered by dust over countless years, which gave rise to the Mountains of the Dead that look like mountains from the outside.
The reason why vegetation flourishes is that the corpses become nutrients after they decay. With so many corpses, of course the vegetation flourishes.
"Boss, is this the hometown of the undead? Why are there so many corpses?" Liu Xingxing murmured unconsciously.
It seemed that the fire startled something in the mountain of corpses, and bits of green light emerged from the bones, a bit like the soul fire of the undead skeletons, but completely different.
It's a dead soul!
One by one, green, glowing souls emerged from between the bones, floating in the pit of corpses, wandering aimlessly and emitting shrill screams.
Congratulations on discovering the special location - the Corpse Mountain and Soul Gathering Ground, and unlocking the building: the Great Cemetery.
Just as Li Ziyu was staring at the dead souls in a daze, a prompt suddenly came from the system, which shocked him.
Damn, I’m rich!
When I discovered the swamp cemetery before, the system didn’t give any prompts, but here not only did it give a prompt, it even had a name, and you could unlock buildings!
The living auras of Li Ziyu, Liu Xingxing and the cat man attracted the dead souls in the air. Their bodies floated and turned suddenly, swooping down towards the living creatures below with murderous intent.
"not good!"
"Help!"
"Mom, meow~"
Just when Liu Xingxing and the cat man were extremely panicked, the skeleton undead stood up one by one and surrounded them. Their soul fires began to beat violently, emitting strange soul fluctuations.
A song rang out in Li Ziyu's soul.
Different from the ethereal singing before, the singing of the dead was solemn and dignified, grand and low. Li Ziyu could not understand the lyrics of the song, but she could feel the nostalgia, comfort and intimacy of the song resounding in her soul.
The souls of the dead swooped down, their bodies swaying violently in the air, scattered, and floated in the air again, looking down in surprise. Their originally ferocious and terrifying expressions gradually relaxed, becoming calm, and they looked at the undead peacefully.
This song is a song of the dead, a song that every dead soul knows, a song that only the dead soul can understand, it is a requiem.
As the Requiem was sung, several ghosts broke away and slowly landed not far from the undead. The skeleton undead actually made way spontaneously, revealing Li Ziyu, Liu Xingxing and others in front of the undead.
Damn it, the undead sold us out!
When Liu Xingxing saw those ghosts slowly floating towards him, he immediately felt something was wrong.
Li Ziyu didn't understand what was happening and why the undead would make way. He was a little panicked, but he forced himself to stay calm. He straightened his clothes, took a step forward, and blocked Liu Xingxing and the cat man behind him.
A green light flashed on the ghosts, revealing their true appearance. They were ghosts of different races, including humans, orcs, and even elves.
Floating in the front was a human ghost. He was wearing a gorgeous robe with various intricate patterns on it, a sword at his waist, and a golden crown on his head. However, his condition was not very good. The exposed skin was wrinkled and completely shriveled, and many parts had rotted away, revealing his bones.
As if realizing that his appearance was not very good-looking, a light flashed again on the king's ghost, and he retracted his terrifying form and turned back into the human form he had when he was alive, a gentle and elegant old man.
"You are not undead, but the undead are willing to protect you. Who are you and why are you here?" He came to Li Ziyu, looked her up and down, and spoke slowly. His voice was gentle, without malice, but full of inquiry and curiosity.
"Please allow me to introduce myself. I am a city lord of the undead. As you can see, I am a human being. I wanted to come here to mine some ore, but I entered here by mistake and disturbed you all." Li Ziyu saw that the undead in front of him seemed very reasonable, so he lowered his guard and said seriously.
Undead City Lord?
The Ghost King looked at Li Ziyu, then turned to look at his companions behind him, all of whom were a little confused.
After pondering for a long time, the Ghost King asked with a complicated expression, "Have the undead taken over the world? Have you betrayed humanity and thrown yourself into the ranks of the undead?"
Facing the question from the Undead King, Li Ziyu just shook his head and said, "The Undead have not taken over the world. I am their city lord and own a Undead fortress, that's all."
The ghosts looked at each other in bewilderment. They had not been in contact with the outside world for a long time and had been living here. They had felt the breath of the undead before and were attracted by that breath, which led Li Ziyu and the undead to meet in the depths of the Ghost Mountains.
No matter what race they were in their lifetime, they are now all undead, and they have a natural affinity for the skeleton undead who are also undead.
"How's the world outside? Is it peaceful?" The Ghost King did not pursue the question of Li Ziyu's identity any further, but asked his own doubts.
"It's okay, at least it's peaceful on the surface. There are still conflicts between tribes. Have you always been here?" Li Ziyu sorted out his understanding of the other world, told the Ghost King his conclusion, and then asked.
"Yes, we have always been here, never left, and cannot leave." The Ghost King said somewhat dejectedly.
Uh, is this a large group of earthbound spirits?
Li Ziyu looked at the densely packed souls in the sky, which were gathering more and more, almost forming a green light cloud, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
