Chapter 996
Gazi, gazi, gazi, gazi!
The sound of bones clanking was heard inside the dark mist . If a Dark Mage from the Ark Continent was present and was able to hear this, then he would immediately know that this was the sound of a large number of moving undead .
However, it was a pity that this wasn’t the Ark Continent . This was the Underworld, such sounds could be heard everywhere, it was quite normal here .
Groups upon groups of grey skeletons were slowly moving forward in the Dark Mist . These were the lowest ranked skeletons in the Underworld . Only such skeletons would make this sound when walking, higher-level skeletons would never make this sound .
In the Underworld, everywhere was full with these unintelligent grey skeletons . These things only had two uses . First one was for cannon fodder while the other one was food for the other undead . Aside from these two, there were no other uses for these grey skeletons .
Every day, batches of these grey skeletons would be born in the Underworld . Some of these grey skeletons would be born with intelligence . They would then start killing other grey skeletons to make themselves stronger and more powerful . Finally, they would become silver or even gold skeletons . But in most cases, these grey skeletons would just be killed .
However, this group of grey skeletons were evidently led by someone . They were neatly lined up as they moved forward . If there was no dark mist, one would be able to see a white bone carriage in the middle of this group . Inside the carriage was a mage wearing a black robe . This robe was very strange . It completely wrapped around the mage’s body, there was nothing left uncovered .
Beside this mage were two undead . One of them was a skeleton who wore full-body armor . On the slits of the armor, one could see the skeleton’s bones . Moreover, his bones were different compared to the other skeletons . It seems to have crystallized, it glistened from time to time .
The other undead was a zombie . He wore tattered clothes and had long and sharp fangs . One could see his status from his appearance, he was a Zombie King .
Naturally, this was Zhao Hai’s group . The grey skeletons around them were Guli’s subordinates . Zhao Hai plans to take them all into the Space in the future so that they would be upgraded .
It was precisely because of this that Zhao Hai had Guli round up as many grey skeletons as possible . After all, nobody would want to manage these grey skeletons here in the Underworld .
At this time, Zhao Hai who was sitting there, suddenly said, “Guli, how far is Three Saint City from here?”
Guli’s deep voice replied, “Young Master, it’s quite close . We would reach it in one hour . Three Saint City is a place that the three of us has established . It is the biggest city in this generation . You can find Zombies, Skeletons, Lich and even High-Level Darkness creatures within . There are also some Vampires in the city . ”
Then Zhao Hai said, “Interesting . I didn’t expect that you could establish a large city in the Underworld . Do you do trades as well?”
Guli nodded and said, “Yes, we also do transactions . However, we don’t use the same currency as the Humans . Instead what we use to trade are fiery souls and spirit stones . ”
Zhao Hai replied, “I know about fiery souls, each Undead has one inside their bodies . But why would they be used as currency? Also, what are spirit stones?”
Guli went on to explain, “Just like you said, fiery souls exist inside all Undead . When an undead is killed, one would be able to obtain these fiery souls . These souls have two uses, first, one could absorb the souls in order to strengthen themselves . The second purpose is for exchanging for things that you want . Spirit stones are like magic crystals from the Ark Continent . But unlike magic crystals where you can acquire from both mining and magic beasts, spirit stones can only be acquired through killing magic beasts . There’s no such thing as a spirit stone mine . ”
Zhao Hai was puzzled, “So the undead can get stronger and stronger as they absorb fiery souls? What else do you need?”
Guli nodded and said, “Right, we get stronger if we absorb fiery souls . However, after reaching a high level, it would be very difficult to improve if you only absorb fiery souls . Only by absorbing high-level fiery souls or souls stones could one improve . But high-level fiery souls could generally be found on powerful undead, and killing those undead is very hard . Because of this, we need to look for other means to promote our strength . In the Underworld, there are special plants and ores that we can use . And some of these plants and ores are useless to low-level Undead . Even if they have peak-level fiery souls, they still wouldn’t be able to absorb it . Therefore, whenever low-level undead gain these resources, they would generally go to the city and trade them with the correct level of fiery souls . ”
Zhao Hai nodded, he understood what Guli said . The Underworld wasn’t a safe place . But as long as an Undead reaches bronze-level, then they would be able to attain intelligence . And at this time, if they want to level up, then they would need massive amounts of fiery souls . If they only hunted and killed undead by themselves, then their progress would be very slow . Moreover, they will be more likely to meet powerful undead . When that time comes, they would be the one being hunted .
Because of this, those bronze undead who found high-level plants would go to the city in order to exchange for large amounts of items that they could use at their current level . Then when they absorb those things and become stronger, they would be able to subdue massive amounts of undead, which in turn would hunt fiery souls for them . Then they would use these fiery souls to exchange for more precious materials to get stronger . Doing it like this seems to be very troublesome, but in fact, this was the safest method in the Underworld . Even if one was a Gold Skeleton, then it was still possible for them to meet a Crystal Skeleton and be turned into food . Naturally, this wasn’t the only method to get stronger . If one obtains a high-level resource that would make one stronger, then they wouldn’t hesitate to absorb it . They wouldn’t save it and bargain for more value with the other undead . In the Underworld, there was no such thing as savings . If you get something you can use, then you should use it right away, you need to get stronger as soon as possible .
