Chapter 233 018: Resurrection of the Dead
Compared to the previous skeleton archers, these skeleton warriors are much weaker. Their attack methods are somewhat similar to the magic swordsmanship that Luo Xi has studied. When they swing their swords, they will cause some elemental damage such as fire and ice. Their overall strength is probably that of a high-level apprentice.
It is worth mentioning that these skeleton warriors all have excellent swordsmanship skills. Their swords are steady, fierce and accurate. Although it is just a rusty cross sword in their hands, they dance with it so vigorously that it is dazzling.
"The resurrected undead creatures in the battlefield are different."
Luo Xi speculated that these undead here should have been the regular army of the Sigrama Dynasty in the past, and they had such impressive combat power after rigorous training.
Although undead creatures are already independent species, they still have strong connections with the deceased before their death.
All the sword skills and magic that the deceased had experienced and mastered during his lifetime remain in the soul flame. The soul flame itself is actually the transformation of the soul after the death of the living being.
These souls were supposed to follow the rules of the world and go to the land of reincarnation, but they survived for some strange and special reasons. Although they no longer have the complete independent will of the previous creatures, they have inherited some of the abilities of the previous creatures, and the swordsmanship of these warriors in front of them comes from this.
Inside the skulls of these skeleton warriors, Luo Xi also found the same crystals as before, but these crystals seemed to be smaller and had lower energy density.
"It seems like you won't always encounter a skeleton with such powerful energy."
The subsequent journey also verified Luo Xi's guess. After that, they encountered several waves of undead one after another. Most of them were between the elementary and advanced apprentices in strength, and only two could reach the wizard level.
These two undeads are not human undeads. One is a giant, and the skeleton of the other one is very special. It looks like a minotaur among the orcs.
During its heyday, the Sigrama Dynasty was inhabited by more than just humans. All nine major races lived together here. They all used the same language and the same writing, had the same beliefs and the same ideology, and flourished under the leadership of a powerful wizard emperor.
The advantages of each race were maximized under the arrangement of the wizards. For example, in the army at that time there were powerful minotaur troops, highly mobile wolf cavalry troops, and so on.
"It's such a pity that such a powerful civilization perished"
Looking at the skeleton of the minotaur lying on the ground, Luo Xi felt somewhat emotional. The world nowadays is basically closed, and everyone develops according to their own ideas in their own small circles. Especially in the wizarding world, a lot of magical knowledge is difficult to circulate, which greatly increases the cost of learning for wizards like them.
The journey continues.
As they moved forward, the number of undead they encountered increased as they went deeper into the land, including orcs, dwarves, elves, basically all kinds of undead. Later, Luo Xi even encountered an undead bone dragon.
Judging from the skeletal shape, it should be a two-legged dragon from the dragon series. It is only two meters tall, with a wingspan of less than six meters. It has lost the ability to fly and can only crawl on land.
Although it is not a powerful dragon, it also belongs to the dragon series. Luo Xi has been observing it for a long time. After all, owning a powerful bone dragon is the dream of almost every wizard who studies necromancy.
"It's a pity if only the bone damage wasn't so severe."
Looking at the severely damaged skeleton in front of him, Luo Xi felt very sorry. If the skeleton was intact, he could collect it and make it into a dead spirit servant. Even if it was not a giant dragon, it would still be very majestic, right?
However, it was already damaged like this, and even the basic flying function was gone, so there was no need to collect it.
It's not just this flying dragon. Most of the bones here have been rotten beyond recognition. After all, this is a spell of destruction and truth. Such powerful magic is almost like the nuclear weapons on Blue Star. It is impossible for the bones to be preserved intact after being destroyed. After experiencing the baptism of thousands of years, it is a miracle that they can stand up.
Despite this, Luo Xi still picked and chose and found a few skeletons that were barely usable, including the skeleton of the minotaur, the skeleton of a dwarf, and the skeleton of an elf.
These bones are alien life forms that are not easy to encounter, especially those like elves, which have great research value. Luo Xi took them back not expecting to reshape them into undead servants, but simply to do some research.
Time passed day by day, and soon, Luo Xi and Lina had been traveling in the wilderness for more than half a month.
"How long will it take?"
In the carriage, Lina kept complaining to Luo Xi: "This gloomy ghost place is worse than the wizard tower where I used to stay. Can't we leave here earlier? I'm tired of seeing this unchanging wasteland."
Luo Xi, who was reading, put down the book and looked out the window: "It's almost there. According to the map, there should be a gathering place nearby. We need to look for it."
Lina was stunned: "Looking for it? Isn't there a specific coordinate location?"
Luo Xi shrugged: "We arrived at the coordinates marked above the day before yesterday, but as you can see, there is nothing there, it's just a ruin."
"What! We got there the day before yesterday?" Lina's eyes widened. "Are you talking about the ruins with the red house?"
Luo Xi nodded: "That's right."
Lina was speechless: "What the hell? What kind of crappy map is this? Is it fake?"
Although he was reluctant to admit it, Luo Xi felt that his map might be a scam. The day before yesterday, when he came to the coordinates of the wizard gathering place marked on the map, all he saw before him was an unchanging ruin and nothing else.
Lina frowned. "Then what should we do next? Are we really going to let the unicorn pull us all the way to the elemental land?"
It is at least hundreds of thousands of miles from here to the destination. Even if a unicorn runs there, it will probably break its legs.
Luo Xi thought for a moment and said, "Let's look around here first, there should be some clues."
Luo Xi did not find nothing in the ruins. He sensed some residual spiritual power there, and found traces of human activities around. He guessed that there must have been a gathering place there before, but it might have moved away for some unknown reason, and the map had not been updated in time. (End of this chapter)
