Chapter 402 Do You Want some More?

…

Negative energy plane.

The land of six rings.

Valley of the Kings.

The dark moon rose into the sky, casting a bright and flawless silver light.

The valley seemed to be covered with a silver carpet.

The carpet spreads deeper.

And when it reaches a certain shadow, it suddenly disappears.

Matthew flew over and stopped steadily about two or three meters above the shadow.

In the shadows.

A large amount of violent negative energy is rolling violently, and lightning and thunder can be vaguely seen.

The soil near the shadow shows signs of slight corrosion.

From time to time, you can see some acid splashing out from it, eating away a large piece of the mountain or rock.

Except for bone pigeons.

The undead were hiding far away.

Their spirituality is limited. They only know that the great immortal king is sleeping, and they dare not get close at all!

Matthew did not approach the shadow easily.

He felt the power of the domain from it, which was Xiaofei's self-protection during his transformation.

Even Matthew, if he gets close easily, may cause the realm itself to rebound.

Balanced sensing is activated.

His gaze became deeper, drawing on a deeper sense of perception.

Matthew finally saw Xiao Fei’s current situation clearly——

The huge ghost bone dragon was lying on the ground in a sickly state, the soul fire in its pupils beating lightly, as if it might go out at any time.

Black smoke was emitting from his stomach. Through the black smoke, Matthew could see a lot of flames, molten iron that seemed to be molten metal, and some hot juice.

Part of the juice splashed out from the gaps between his bones, creating the pitted ground beyond the shadow.

Matthew could sense it.

Philoleus seemed to have a huge furnace in his belly.

It was as if he had suddenly transformed from a ghost bone dragon into a small movable volcano!

Mumble murmur!

Philoleus's abdomen made strange sounds.

Immediately afterwards.

A large amount of smelly gas came out from between the bones.

Matthew quickly retreated to windward.

But even so.

He also smelled a strong smell of sulfur.

For a moment.

Matthew's head was even a little dizzy!

"It's so poisonous..."

"The bone pigeon said he had a bad stomach, but his assessment was accurate."

Matthew thought to himself.

He called the little thing over:

"How did your master become like this?"

Bone Pigeon showed no stage fright and immediately shouted:

"A few days ago, a young and energetic black knight came nearby, which made the master very unhappy. He wanted to use the excuse of patrolling the territory to cause trouble for the black knight, but I don't know if the news was leaked. The master brought When the team was traveling, they didn’t bump into the black knight at all.”

"However, there was an unexpected surprise during this inspection. We discovered a huge sulfur mine in a hidden cave not far from here. For the undead, sulfur is also a very good nutritional supplement. The owner immediately I ate half a seat like crazy.”

"This was no problem at first, but when he was eating, he discovered that there was an associated chromium gold mine deeper in the sulfur mine!"

"I advised him not to worry, and to take it home and smelt it before eating it. But the owner seemed to be a little impatient, and he ate all the chrome gold ore in one go."

"He seemed fine after eating for a while, and he walked back to the valley by himself."

"But just when he was sleeping soundly, I suddenly discovered that all the black feathers on his body had fallen out, and the row of feathers that grew out turned out to be silver, as if they were made of silver..."

While listening to the bone pigeon's narration, Matthew compared the traces left on the data column.

I probably figured out the reason for Xiao Fei's promotion.

"He was already on the verge of promotion. High-purity sulfur ore is a super tonic for the immortal king. He entered the promotion state after swallowing it in one breath. The chrome gold ore was just an accident. What was added was his evolution. Variables in direction..."

Matthew observed.

Xiao Fei probably voluntarily gave up his flying ability and certain mobility, and chose to enhance his defense capabilities through chrome-plated bone armor.

If only he could convert all of his exoskeleton and feathers into chromium.

Then he will become an indestructible mobile fortress!

"Does this mean you know that I thought he was fragile before?"

"Are you planning to develop into a super tank?"

Matthew was filled with joy.

He really doesn't need the front row so much now, but who doesn't love a majestic summon like the Alloy Bone Dragon?

besides.

After being successfully promoted, Xiaobo's breath will also increase the damage of fire and poison given by the sulfur ore.

The range of the breath will also be expanded to three times the original size.

This will greatly improve Xiaobo's attack efficiency and range!

"I gave Xiao Fei the three key elements of his legendary way."

"The level of practice of these two elements, loyalty and diligence, has far exceeded the minimum standards, and has long met the standards for promotion."

"Currently only the keyword miracle is gray."

"As long as a miracle can be guaranteed to happen, even if it is a smaller one, then Xiaobo's promotion to legend will be a sure shot!"

Matthew's mind was spinning rapidly:

"How do you think you can create a small miracle on your master?"

He asked Bone Pigeon casually.

Although the little thing is not very reliable, it still has a lot of crooked ideas.

But this time.

The bone pigeon did not answer him directly, but pointed in the direction of the valley.

Matthew looked up.

A lonely figure was in the distance, looking at him humbly.

It was the Banshee Queen Xin Fulan.

Matthew glanced at the bone pigeon, and the latter lowered her head with a guilty conscience.

"Let her come over."

Matthew said indifferently.

The Banshee Queen flew over lightly:

"The resurrection of the Purgatory Dragon is a miracle in itself."

"Mr. Philolius is now at a critical juncture of promotion. As long as he can successfully promote to Legend, he will be more powerful than before!"

"According to my experience, things related to his previous life may have a stimulating effect. This stimulation can release the potential in his soul and reproduce some parts of the Purgatory Dragon on this body, thereby meeting the standard of miracles and completing the final promotion."

Xin Fulan showed enough sincerity at the beginning, and said everything she knew in one breath.

Matthew pondered:

"What kind of things related to his previous life do you think can have the greatest stimulating effect?"

Xin Fulan said without hesitation:

"The blood of the magic dragon!"

"Philolius was the king of the Purgatory Magic Dragon when he was alive. The blood of the dragon clan itself contains memory and power. I think just one or two drops of the magic dragon blood are enough to ensure the success of the promotion."

Matthew thought about it:

"What about the blood of Batto?"

Xin Fulan was stunned for a moment:

"Of course it will be more effective!"

"But the blood of Batto is the supreme bloodline of Purgatory. It is difficult for ordinary people to have the opportunity to come into contact with it."

Matthew did not explain too much, but just asked another question:

"Is my blood useful?"

Xin Fulan came to him before.

It was because she suspected that Matthew had a close connection with the sun god.

Matthew felt that he had a closer connection with the god of death during this period.

But no matter what.

He also realized that he seemed to be extraordinary.

"It might be useful."

Xin Fulan answered cautiously:

"But you are not deified yet. Even if you are given the blood of the descendants of gods, it will lose its original effect due to the lack of spirituality in the blood."

Matthew nodded.

He was just asking.

Although Xiao Fei's current situation looks scary, in fact, the process of transformation and promotion is almost certain.

Even without external help.

He may just need to spend more time to complete the promotion.

Matthew has always been very confident in him.

Immediately, he turned his attention to Xin Fulan, the Banshee Queen:

"You asked the Bone Pigeon to find me, right?"

Without waiting for Xin Fulan to answer.

Matthew looked directly at the bone pigeon:

"What benefit did you receive from her?"

The bone pigeon lowered its head and said hesitantly:

"No benefit."

Matthew sneered:

"Would you do something that has no benefit?"

The bone pigeon coughed:

"Does it count if she calls me a little cutie?"

Matthew slapped it:

"If you don't tell the truth, I'll just use you as bone powder!"

The bone pigeon was immediately frightened and screamed:

"I just received a few soul crystals and brought a message to this woman."

"And the master did have some problems, so it's reasonable for you to come over and care about him!"

That being said.

His tone was extremely guilty.

Matthew continued to torture:

"How many soul crystals?"

The bone pigeon was still dawdling over there.

The Banshee Queen smiled happily:

"Not much, three kilograms."

Gah!

So rich?

Matthew was extremely surprised in his heart, but his face remained calm.

He looked at the bone pigeon seriously:

"Everyone who sees it gets a share, take it out and divide it up."

The bone pigeon lowered his head and walked towards the valley next to it, and asked in fear:

"You don't want half directly, do you?"

After that, he began to dig a hole on the ground.

Matthew sneered:

"Half of half!"

The bone pigeon breathed a sigh of relief.

He accelerated the speed of digging the hole, and until he saw the soul crystal at the bottom of the pit, Matthew said decisively:

"Half of half is for you!"

"Bring up the rest!"

The bone pigeon was immediately as if he had lost his parents.

But he still reluctantly handed all the soul crystals to Matthew.

Matthew, as promised, gave 1/4 to the bone pigeon, and kept 1/4 in his pocket.

The remaining half of the soul crystal.

He threw it all into Xiaofei's stomach!

This scene made Bone Pigeon feel distressed:

"How foolish! Master's master!"

"With Master's strong body, there is no need to feed Soul Crystals anymore. It is a little cutie like me who needs to be fed the most!"

Matthew was too lazy to pay attention to him.

Of course he knew that Soul Crystals did not add much to Xiao Fei.

But Xiao Fei was now at the critical juncture of being promoted to Legend, so Matthew would certainly give him a push as much as possible.

These Soul Crystals were just appetizers.

He had not had time to prepare more important things!

After doing all this.

Matthew then turned his attention back to the Banshee King:

"You asked Bone Pigeon to come to me. Is something going to happen?"

"The Heavenly Ladder has appeared?"

Symphran, the Banshee King, had mentioned before when she presented Matthew with the sickle of the God of Agriculture——

Once the number of kings in the land of six rings reaches six.

It will be possible to lower the ladder leading to the Five Rings.

During this time, the immortal kings would be forced to ascend the ladder to heaven, and then encounter very terrible things.

"yes."

Sinfulan replied calmly:

"Recently, a very active black knight has appeared in the Sixth Ring. He is holding a bare spear and is wearing armor like an iron barrel. The mount on his crotch is also a strange horse hidden under the steel armor."

"The black knight challenged more than a dozen small bosses one after another, with remarkable results."

"I fought with him for two rounds and found that his strength is quite astonishing. He definitely has the potential to be promoted to king. The demigod lich also tried to intercept him, but in the end the black knight escaped."

"Once he becomes a promoted king, the ladder to heaven will come immediately, and he won't be able to leave even if he wants to."

Matthew looked at her thoughtfully:

"So you've made your decision?"

Sinfulan nodded:

"As long as your Excellency is willing to nod and agree, I will immediately give up my position as king and leave here with you."

Bone Pigeon interjected:

"Why should I call you Your Excellency? Just call me Master!"

The Banshee Queen seemed a little shy.

However, she hesitated for a moment, and then shouted out with difficulty:

"Owner……"

Matthew waved his hand:

"Don't shout so urgently yet, I still have a few things to ask you."

"Where is the dark general you mentioned before?"

"Did he leave with you too?"

Sinfulan shook her head:

"He changed his mind."

"Actually, the reason is very simple. After I leave, the position of king will be vacant. Even if the black knight is promoted successfully, there will only be five kings in the land of six rings, and nothing will happen immediately."

"My departure is equivalent to making room for the existence of other kings. Of course he has a reason to change his mind."

"But this is normal. Compared to others, I am less courageous. And who knows if other kings will be born besides the Black Knight?"

Matthew nodded.

Then he chatted with Sinfulan about the current layout of the Sixth Ring Land.

The world of the undead is a completely independent existence from other planes.

There are unique operating rules here.

With a senior native like Xin Fulan leading the way, Matthew's understanding of the Sixth Ring Land immediately improved by several levels.

In addition, I had already accepted someone else’s jade sickle.

Matthew finally took the Banshee King, who was also the Immortal King, under his command.

Synphora's level is level 20.

After signing the contract, she told Matthew that due to congenital deficiencies, she would never be promoted to legend in this life.

This was also the fundamental reason why she was in a hurry to leave the Sixth Ring Land.

To her, she reached the position of king by chance, which was the pinnacle of immortality.

Continuing to linger here will only lead to disaster.

Matthew didn't think much of Synphora's potential.

What he was interested in was Synphora's processing and management abilities.

After accepting Synphora this time.

Matthew directly had more than 300 banshees under his command.

These banshees will follow Synphora out of the negative energy plane.

The new home that Matthew arranged for them was the cemetery located in the sampan plane.

First, Matthew doesn’t trust Synphora enough;

Secondly, the base camp cemetery was indeed overcrowded;

Placing Synphora in the new cemetery will not only facilitate the assessment, but also give the former immortal king more room to display.

"Let's see how well she can manage the Sampan Cemetery!"

"I have more and more cemeteries under my command. I need to optimize the management structure later!"

Matthew thought.

Currently, the number of cemeteries under his control has reached four.

Except for the base camp of Rolling Stone.

There is also the Icefield Cemetery located in the ancient land, the Undersea Cemetery located in the Arun Inland Sea, and the newly established Sampan Cemetery.

Along with the dramatic expansion of the number of cemeteries and undead.

Matthew indeed needs more talents with rich management experience like Sinfulan.

…

Settling down Synphora and the banshees.

Matthew immediately returned to Rolling Stone Base Camp Cemetery.

He talked with Ali for a while and learned about other recent events in the cemetery.

In general.

Ali did a pretty good job as a housekeeper.

The whole cemetery is very orderly.

Even the prisoners who were busy making hot glue looked very motivated.

According to Ali’s report.

Matthew learned that the number of cremators on the third floor now reached a full 186.

Taking into account the super combat power of the Undertaker.

This is already a very scary number.

Nearly two hundred undead who could throw fireballs formed a column.

In a head-on situation, it can exert firepower comparable to 4 to 5 fifth-level mages in a short period of time.

Unfortunately.

Just last week on Wednesday.

The flames in the Well of the Undertaker were extinguished, which meant that the well could no longer continue to produce elite undead like the Undertaker.

But after Matthew's inspection.

He discovered that the ceremonial grounds at the Well of the Undertaker had not completely disappeared.

It seems that the silence of the ritual site was caused by the disappearance of the flame in the well.

When Matthew observed.

He found that there were still leaping flames and some special substances similar to carbon deposits at the bottom of the well.

It seems that only enough fuel is needed to continue to ignite.

After testing.

Ordinary fuel and flames cannot re-ignite the well of the cremator.

Matthew was not discouraged.

"Wait until O'Lorin wakes up, let him operate it, maybe he can activate the well again..."

He asked Ali to pay attention to the carbon deposits at the bottom of the well.

And continue to isolate the entrances and exits between the third layer and other layers.

After all, the nature of the cremator is too special. The living environment that makes them feel like fish in water is a trap that may kill other undead at any time.

In addition to the cremator and the negative energy power furnace.

The biggest change in the cemetery headquarters still comes from the skeleton prince Li Ruike and the skeleton swordsmen led by him.

According to Ali's statistics.

In recent days, the number of skeleton swordsmen trained by Li Ruike has exceeded two thousand!

This is a very considerable number-

You know.

The combat power of a skeleton swordsman is almost three times that of an ordinary skeleton!

Matthew also noticed.

The soul fire of the skeleton swordsman is more condensed, and he walks with vigor. In terms of spirit, he is not something that ordinary skeletons can touch.

Matthew can feel that there is a trace of revenge in their soul fire.

This seems to be artificially added by Li Ruike through some kind of ritual.

Matthew has no intention of interfering.

In fact.

This is what ordinary necromancers do-

Hatred is the cheapest motivation emotion of the undead.

This element can best stimulate the energy in the soul fire of the undead.

This is also the fundamental reason why there is a hatred aura in the fifth-level must-learn spells of the necromancer.

In any case.

Skeleton Prince Li Ruike is indeed impeccable in training soldiers.

Every skeleton swordsman is trained by him personally.

This means that a lot of energy and time must be spent.

Ali told Matthew.

Since entering the fifth floor.

Li Ruike has been training soldiers day and night.

He divided the soldiers into four groups, each of which trained for six hours. After one group finished training, the other group would take over, while he himself did not rest at all!

For such employees.

What else could Matthew do except to respect them?

Compared with Rick Li.

Xiao Fei had to admit defeat!

However, the contribution of the Skeleton Prince was not limited to this -

Then Matthew obtained a very complex set of underground cave trend maps from Ali.

This set of trend maps included all the underground passages, caves, rivers and special terrains of the Gold Digger Basin where the cemetery was located.

This set of maps was drawn by Rick Li when he led the army to cooperate with Eugene, the son of the forest, to fight against the devil.

Rick Li really did not lie.

He did have super military talent and drawing talent.

Matthew had also seen similar maps in Rega's office.

It was also the underground system of the Gold Digger Basin.

But compared with the one drawn by Rick Li, Rega's one was too rough!

In addition to the caves and terrain of the Gold Digger Basin.

He also recorded every entrance to the dark area in detail!

With this map.

Matthew can now move freely underground!

"Is there an extension?"

"Huh? According to the map, this tunnel in the Gold Rush Basin turns from here to a secret passage in the northern cave, and the end of the secret passage is the Jade Palace?!"

"Is there an underground cave extending to the north of the Rapids?"

"There are such tunnels?"

Matthew was also enlightened.

Looking at those tunnels, his brain worked quickly.

"These tunnels should be safer, right?"

Matthew asked casually.

Ali nodded:

"At least the underground caves in the Gold Diggers Basin are currently calm."

"The underground races from the Underdark are all very peaceful. Of course, the restless ones have all died under Lord Orolin's fireball."

"Master, what do you want to do with these tunnels?"

Matthew replied:

"Open up a trade route."

"Look here, if this tunnel can be connected a little further north, we can directly transport the goods underground to the Windward Valley near the Jade Cang Court, where there is an entrance to the outer plane, which is now my territory."

Matthew's eyes flickered.

In Aindo, it is not that there are no means to transport large amounts of materials over long distances, but most of them are costly.

At present, the magic hot air balloon of the Seven Saints Alliance is the lowest cost and most efficient.

But the hot air balloon has a low safety factor. Once it is smashed down or encounters extreme weather, it will not work.

The original underground space was actually not safe.

However, Orolin was too brave and swept out a clear sky from the underground!

Matthew can occasionally use the long-distance teleportation array when transporting summons or corpses.

But if everything uses the teleportation array.

The cost is too high!

The simplest example.

The skeleton swordsmen trained by Li Ruike are seriously lacking in equipment!

The current forging system in Rolling Stone Town cannot even supply the armaments of Rega's newly expanded Lord Guard.

Not to mention distributing equipment to Matthew's undead.

Matthew happened to obtain tens of thousands of equipment in the sampan plane, many of which were complete sets of standard weapons and armor.

If these things can be transported back to the cemetery and arranged for the undead.

The combat power of the skeleton swordsman can be improved.

But how to transport this batch of equipment is also a very realistic problem.

It is too expensive to use the teleportation array directly;

It is a serious squeeze on Matthew's mental power and mana to stuff all of them into the demiplane and bring them back;

The best way is to let the undead go, put on the equipment and walk back!

But so many skeletons walking on the ground can easily cause trouble.

The tunnel will be much better.

Especially as long as it can be passed once, Matthew can order some elite undead to lead the team, and then form an undead caravan that travels between Windward Valley and Rolling Stone Town through the tunnel!

The skeletons can't move much.

But their physical strength is almost unlimited!

Is there any other caravan that can achieve a lower cost than the Skeleton Transport Team?

Matthew described his idea to Ali.

Ali agreed repeatedly.

Then he added:

"This matter can also be handed over to Rick Li. He has to train soldiers to travel long distances occasionally, and at most add some weight."

"But there are still some details to be dealt with in implementation."

"The most critical point is that many tunnels are not easy to walk, and some places can only be crawled through. You also know the physique of skeletons - our cemetery has sufficient negative energy springs, and the physique of skeletons is generally higher than that of wild ones. But even so, they have a hard time passing through some difficult terrain."

"It's okay to waste a little time, but if it delays your business, that's not good."

When Matthew heard this, he knew that Ali must have a countermeasure.

Sure enough.

Ali continued:

"I suggest that we send someone to Duradin to buy two burrowing worms. These burrowing worms can open up tunnels and make them easier to pass through."

"By the way, Duradin is a gray dwarf city located in the Underdark. Its location is approximately directly below the Jade Palace. Well, it is here on the map-

Li Ruike and the Red Flame Nightmare had some contact with the gray dwarves there when they went underground to explore.

The gray dwarves in Duradin seem to admire your reputation and are very polite to Li Ruike.

So I think it shouldn't be a problem to buy two burrowing worms."

Matthew weighed it.

Finally, he adopted Ali's proposal.

However, he did not let the skeleton prince Li Ruike go to the gray dwarf city of Duradin.

Instead, he assigned this responsibility to "Male Demon Justin"-

The latter is a rare male female demon that Matthew extracted from the zombies of the troll underground palace. Recently, he has been serving as the financial officer of the cemetery.

Matthew took a look.

Justin has been doing well recently.

He gave the purchase task to the other party, and then ordered Death Knight 47 to be Justin's deputy.

The two of them quickly went to the gray dwarf city of Duradin.

Then Matthew dealt with the chores that had been accumulated recently.

By the time these trivial matters were done.

It was already dark.

Matthew hesitated for a moment, and returned to Rolling Stone Town.

He entered the lord's mansion and found Sif.

"Can you give me a drop of your blood?"

Matthew was about to explain the purpose of his request for blood.

But the next second.

Sif took out a knife from somewhere and wiped it on her neck.

Suddenly.

Bright red blood beads emerged from under her fair skin.

"Is it enough?"

Sif licked her lips and looked at Matthew with bright eyes:

"Do you want more?"

...
