Baiyezi Village was silent, and there seemed to be a vague cold air in the air, but the houses were already broken, and a thick layer of ashes were accumulated on the ground. In the ashes, messy wreckage could be vaguely seen.

Sui Xiong looked at it from afar, shook his head, and sighed deeply.

He already knew the causes and consequences of the original, and also knew why the old priest suddenly plotted against him - between good and evil, he was a mortal enemy.

The struggle between good and evil, the struggle between ideas, the struggle between positions... To put it bluntly, it is an ideological struggle. On the earth, this struggle has developed to two major camps led by two superpowers, and has set up a killing weapon that can destroy all mankind several times to intimidate each other. In this world, various gods, countries, races, and sects often fight for ideology. The old priest's grace and sect plot against hatred is actually nothing in this context.

But the hundreds of people in the entire Baiyezi Village were killed in vain because the old priest had to play ideological struggles alone.

He did not regret the practice of hitting the innocent with all his strength. At that time, he knew very little about the world and was facing a huge crisis. He struggled hard. What's wrong? However, he was really full of sympathy for the villagers who died in vain. He was very dissatisfied with this world where the ideological struggle was so fierce that it was incomprehensible.

"The world is really sick..."

With emotion, he controlled the huge jellyfish and walked around the village. Tentacles that were stronger and stronger than any hoe dug deep ravines on the ground and formed a simple magic circle.

This is a guardian magic circle, which can prevent the dead in the magic circle from turning into dead creatures.

The so-called death-returning creature refers to the body of a dead creature under the erosion of the dark power - called negative energy according to this world - and the body will be reactivated and turned into a monster that can move. This type of monster has no intelligence and will only instinctively attack things containing positive energy nearby according to the principle of conflicting positive and negative energy - the most common ones are various natural creatures.

Sui Xiong was a game fan before traveling through time and had come into contact with many games. According to his idea, those who resurrected after death and become monsters should be called immortals. But in fact, the so-called "undead" is divided into two parts, dead creatures and undead creatures. The former is just a simple monster without intelligence, while the latter is a dangerous monster with wisdom and power and can continue to grow.

The sources of undead creatures are diverse, and there are gods and monsters behind them, so they can be called a force in this world that cannot be underestimated. The dead creatures are different. They lack the minimum intelligence, cannot provide the power of faith, and cannot serve a slightly complicated job, and they cannot receive any attention and protection. Even most undead creatures despise them, and they are as low as they are no longer low-end - even if many undead creatures themselves advance from the dead creatures.

However, this thing located at the low end of the monster world poses the greatest threat to the people living in the Black Forest.

The Black Forest, the official name should be the Ashes Forest. Legend has it that in the distant ancient times, some gods fought here, and the dead gods turned into ashes, polluting the forest. Since then, this forest has become the birthplace of negative energy, emitting negative energy all the time. While eroding the surrounding land, it fuses and condenses all the bones in the forest and turns them into dead creatures.

Strangely, no matter how strong the dead creatures here become, they will not advance. This makes the Ashes Forest lose its value even for villains who try to recruit undead subordinates. Only poor farmers will work hard to cultivate here.

Through the analysis of the power on the Sleepless God's Shrine, Sui Xiong has mastered the means to absorb negative energy. The magic array he designed at this moment is to extract the negative energy in the array and spread towards the distance.

Without the support of negative energy, the bones of the dead will naturally not transform into dead creatures.

It is convenient to be big. Sui Xiong did not use any tools, and he quickly completed the magic circle with his powerful tentacles. With the skills he mastered by the Art Department of the Third-Rank Art School, the entire magic circle was drawn perfectly without any flaws.

Before starting the magic circle, he stepped into Baiye Village again and inspected it carefully.

This magic array will greatly reduce the negative energy concentration in the array. If an undead creature has been produced in the village, it will be killed.

Although undead creatures are rare, there may be accidents.

Things were as he guessed, inside the ruins, he really found the undead.

It was a soulless soul with only soul left, making a battle posture and fighting against non-existent enemies.

Sui Xiong recognized it at a glance - bald, tall, and quick-moving. Isn't this guy the most powerful warrior in the village?

According to the information obtained from the shrine, this strong man was named Gerald Kaban, who used to be a mercenary. Because he offended the big man outside, he fled to the ashes forest in a remote village. He lacked faith, had no respect for the gods, and only believed in his axe, but he liked to be a teacher. He had a high reputation in the village and could be called a thorn in the eyes of the old priest.

The strong men in this world are roughly divided into three levels: bronze, silver and gold. The characteristics of the advancement are the changes in life form. Above the golden rank are those legendary creatures with long lifespans and powerful powers. Going up... they are gods and demons. Gerald and the old priest are both bronze ranks. In terms of strength, 20 or 30 ordinary strong men are not enough for them to fight. However, the old priest is old and weak after all, and Gerald is in his battle year. There have been several conflicts between the two sides, and the old priest is at a disadvantage.

As a priest of the evil god, he had many magic tricks to use. But Gerald was an old man who had been in the world for many years. He was very cunning and never gave the old master priest a chance to plot against himself. Until that night of fierce fighting, the old master priest sacrificed himself to launch a slavery technique to plot against Sui Xiong, but in the end he brought Gerald and the entire village to burial.

Sui Xiong looked at Gerald's undead. Most of the soul's body had become dim and nothing, but a little bit of the aura in the heart was still beating. If nothing unexpected happened, in a while, he would completely dissipate and turn into part of the negative energy that permeated the entire Ashes Forest.

But since Sui Xiong has come, things will turn around.

After thinking for a moment, Sui Xiong released his magic power and turned into a gray ball, covering Gerald.

The ball was filled with pure negative energy. Under the control of Sui Xiong's magic, they continued to seep into Gerald's soul, making the already weak undead quickly stronger. After only a while, the undead became as clear as a living person, and his face was revitalized with a light of wisdom.

He stopped, stood there, staring at the surroundings in confusion.

"What's going on?"

"You are dead." Sui Xiong said.

Gerald turned to look at the huge beast, and the confusion in his eyes did not completely fade: "But what's going on?"

Sui Xiong sighed and told him in detail the cause and effect of the matter.

"So that's how it is..." After listening to Sui Xiong's story, Gerald was silent for a long time, and all the sighs finally turned into a long sigh.

"What are you going to do?" Sui Xiong saw that he was depressed and asked, "Go to hell or to the Kingdom of God?"

In this world, if the soul of the dead does not want to dissipate or becomes an immortal creature, there are only two places to go. Either go to hell and bet on luck to see if it will fall into evil monsters, or enter the Great Styx River that runs through all worlds and wash away the cycle of reincarnation; or go to the kingdom of gods of the gods you believe in, transform into creatures of the kingdom of gods, live for several years, and finally completely integrate into it and become part of the kingdom of gods.

Sui Xiong did not get much information. He was not very clear about how life in hell and the Kingdom of God was like, but according to his ideas, neither of these two choices seemed to be very good.

If you want to reincarnate, just reincarnate directly. What's the point of becoming a monster! It's nothing wrong to live in the Kingdom of God, but why do you have to integrate it into building materials in the future?

Gerald was silent for a while and said, "I believed in the God of Thieves back then, but later I betrayed my faith. Now I am a believer, and no God will accept me. And hell... I don't want to go..."

"Then there is nothing else. There are only two ways to dissipate or become an undead creature. Which one do you choose?" Sui Xiong said, "If you dissipate, forget it. If you want to be an undead creature, I have some skills. I can help you transform, at least I can retain more rationality."

"I don't want to be a vengeful spirit or a death knight..."

"You're really demanding."

Gerald smiled: "I didn't expect that when I was alive, I was chased by several bronze-level killers and ran away like a dog. After I died, I actually chatted and laughed with a powerful legendary creature... Forget it, I'll let it go, let it dissipate like this."

The only way to death is to die in the ages. He has let go of death at this moment, and his whole temperament has become a little calmer and nobler.

But Sui Xiong was unwilling to let him die completely. Gerald is a good person and has some skills. The most important thing is that he has traveled around the world for many years, has a wide range of knowledge and experience. He is not familiar with the world and the information obtained from the shrine is unreliable. If he can win Gerald over and be a guide, it will definitely be much more convenient.

Not to mention anything else, letting this bald brother pretend to be a big magician and pretend to be the legendary creature he summoned can save a lot of trouble! He is so big, if he finds a suitable identity and goes outside, he must cause panic!

So he thought for a while and finally made up his mind.

"This... I'll try to recreate a body for you..." he said.

"What?" Gerald was stunned, not understanding what he said.

"I'll try to recreate a body for you, and see if it can be attached to it and resurrected."

Gerald was overjoyed, but hesitated a little - the infamous necromancer was so infamous that he had to be afraid.

However, he thought again, is it necessary to deceive such a powerful creature, such a small mortal? For example, the scenes in folk stories where the devil deceives mortals to sign contracts are also those big figures with outstanding futures. Who would spend this spirit for a deceased adventurer who is already dead and about to lose his soul? Wouldn't it be better to directly cast the spell of the undead creature...

Thinking of this, he felt relieved, but he still couldn't help asking: "Is this really OK?"

Sui Xiong laughed: "Let's try it. Anyway, you are ready to die. Even if you fail to resurrection, there will be no loss."

This is very convincing. Just like a person is already ready to stop playing a certain game anyway, what does it matter if he uses the account to test the plug-in?

OK, no problem!
