Chapter 243 028: Tide of the Undead (Part 2)
This is a huge tower that is over a thousand meters high. Now the only way to escape this crisis is to run to the top.
"Go up quickly!" Luo Xi quickly gave orders to the unicorns.
The unicorns were obviously aware of this and sped up suddenly. They all clenched their teeth and ran forward as hard as they could.
On the other side, the tide of undead behind them was getting closer and closer, closely following the back of the carriage, less than a hundred meters away from them. If they stuck their heads out, they could even see the hideous faces of the undead behind them, wrapped in the breath of death.
This horrifying scene made Jerome and the other two hold their breath.
“Hurry up!”
“Hurry up!”
"Praise it more!"
The three of them couldn't help but pray silently in their hearts.
Finally, it was not known whether their prayers had worked, but the unicorns finally rushed into the tower just before the skeletons were about to bite their tails, and then leaped directly onto the outer wall of the tower.
This tall tower has already collapsed at this time, and it is slanted into the ground, forming a slope of about 45 degrees with the ground, just enough for the unicorns to jump up.
However, the slope was obviously not steep enough, and the unicorns that had just jumped up lost their balance and began to slip. What was even worse was that the elk, which was not as strong as the other elks, accidentally fell down, causing the entire carriage to start sliding down.
Seeing that the carriage was about to fall back into the undead army behind, Luo Xi finally took action.
But he flew up and the static force field suddenly expanded outwards.
As his strength increased, his static force field also grew to a certain extent, and now his strength has reached about 1,300 pounds.
This huge force immediately pulled the carriage back and stopped the unicorn from sliding down.
At the same time, he waved his hand again, and there was a loud "whoosh" sound. A gust of wind swept in from all directions, wrapping around the carriage and dragging it upwards.
Under the influence of the static stance and the wind element, the unicorns finally stabilized their bodies and began to slowly exert their strength. The carriage that was originally falling moved forward again and soon climbed to the top of the tower.
Luo Xi stopped the carriage at a relatively flat place.
Then he turned his head and looked down.
This place is already several hundred meters above the ground, far beyond the range of the undead tide.
Looking down from above, one could see thick smoke billowing across the entire ground. In the black smoke were densely packed undead spirits. Skeletons, zombies, and all kinds of undead creatures gathered together and were running wildly forward under the influence of some powerful force.
The entire earth was covered with such undead spirits, and the ground seemed to have turned into a sea of dead spirits. Even the extremely wide river was submerged by the undead spirits, and nothing could be seen.
Luo Xi sighed: "Is this the tide of the undead here?"
The three people who survived the disaster still had fear on their faces. Hearing Luo Xi's question, Angel said, "Yes, this is the Undead Tide, the most terrifying existence in the ruins. Once the Undead Tide occurs, everything will be destroyed."
After a pause, she sighed and said, "I'm afraid that the kingdoms and gathering places in this direction will no longer exist after this disaster."
It is easier for wizards and other creatures in the magical world, as most of them have channels to sense the direction of the undead tide in advance, so they can move away early before the tide arrives to avoid losses.
But the human world does not have such ability. Many human kingdoms will not know until the tide arrives, and at this time it is impossible to escape from the tide with human ability.
Those places with strong castles can also call on the subjects and nobles to hide in the castle together, and there is a chance that they can escape temporarily, or even survive after the tide passes if they are lucky.
But those scattered villages and towns as well as the humans outside are not so lucky. They will soon be turned into corpses when swept by the tide. Then, with the help of the powerful death energy in the tide, they will be revived and become part of the tide, being carried forward by this sea of undead bones.
Luo Xi asked: "Do you know how this tide is formed?"
Angel shook her head. "I don't know. They don't know when the opportunity will erupt in the ruins, reviving a large number of undead in an area, and then forming a tide like now, just like a storm in the human world, it is difficult to predict."
Luo Xi looked at the direction of the tidal surge: "Then how did they stop?"
Angel pointed at the black aura of death that was floating above the undead and said, "Only when they get tired and the aura of death fades, will these undead slowly slow down and stop."
"Some of the undead will fall down due to the loss of the aura of death and will soon be buried by the dust of the wilderness, but more will absorb enough death energy and start wandering in the ruins."
"In fact, most of the undead in the ruins came from this place."
So that's how it is. Luo Xi was a little confused about how the undead could wander around here for thousands of years. After all, theoretically, their remaining soul fire should not be able to support their existence for so long. It seems that the key lies in this undead tide.
Every once in a while, the undead tide erupts, awakening the remains here and injecting them with death energy, allowing them to wander in the ruins until the soul flames in their bodies burn out and the death energy is exhausted, and they fall into a deep sleep. Then the next death energy erupts, and the cycle repeats, forming a unique undead ecosystem.
"How did this wonderful phenomenon come about?" Luo Xi thought thoughtfully, thinking that this was a topic worth studying, and he could delve into it in detail when he had time in the future.
Then, his eyes fell on the tower where they had taken refuge.
This is an extremely tall tower. Judging from its appearance, it was probably a wizard tower in the past. The base of the tower is made of huge black basalt. Each stone has been carefully carved, exuding an ancient and deep atmosphere. On the base, the tower gradually narrows, presenting an elegant cone shape, and the surface is covered with silver-white magic runes.
It can be seen that it must have been a magnificent wizard tower in the past, but after years of erosion and baptism, it has been damaged. The spire of the tower has been broken, and the magic gems originally embedded there have disappeared. The entire wizard tower seems to have been forgotten by time, left to be eroded by wind and rain, and destroyed by the years. Under the broken appearance, its former glory and mystery have disappeared, leaving only desolation and loneliness (end of this chapter)
