A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees Chapter 109

  Chapter 109 Field of Ashes

  At the southwest end of the Scar of the Dead, less than 200 meters away from the oak forest, humanoid creatures like ghosts are constantly crawling out of the scorched black soil.

   Their bodies are dilapidated, their complexions are dark, and they look like humanoid creatures from the front, but if you look at them from the side, you can find that the width of these "creatures" is abnormal, they are as thin as sheets of paper!

   Their faces are made up of large blocks of shadows, as if there is no face.

  These "paper creatures" walk in unnatural movements, somewhat like zombies.

   Every time they take a step, lumps of sparks will fall on their bodies.

  When the sparks fall to the ground.

  The originally clean soil will be stained with a layer of black.

Gradually.

  The end of the scar of the dead also expanded.

  When Matthew and the others arrived here, they saw such a picture.

  A dozen or so paper creatures were wandering around the end with nothing to do.

  You can feel Matthew approaching.

  As if they had found their target, they suddenly became refreshed and rushed over at the same time!

   Poof!

   Rhaegar took the lead, slashing a paper creature with his sword.

  The latter's body was easily torn apart by the two-handed sword, and suddenly turned into fly ash and disappeared into the air.

   Rhaegar continued to work hard.

  He rushed forward alone, slashing left and right with the big sword in his hand, and in a short while, he killed those paper creatures that were emitting sparks!

   This scene stunned Matthew and the others.

   "Is this the trouble you said?"

  Rega comfortably put his big sword on the ground, turned around and looked at Matthew with a smile:

   "I don't need sword oil, I can kill them easily!"

  Matthew looked at the marks of the dead behind him, his eyes full of doubts.

   can count seconds later.

  He suddenly changed his expression and said:

   "Back it back!"

  Rega did not react slowly. When he heard Matthew calling, he hurriedly drew his sword and retreated two steps before turning his head away.

  Seeing this, he gasped several times.

  But on the scorched earth where the marks of the dead were seen, more than thirty red circles suddenly appeared, and on the ground covered by the circles, scorched black hands stretched out from inside!

   Silently.

  A large number of paper creatures emerged from the circle.

   Their number has doubled compared to before.

   Even more terrifying.

  The paper creature that appeared this time actually has a face, and it looks exactly like Rhaegar!

  At this time, even the most nervous person realized something was wrong.

  Rega suddenly raised his hand, but he almost couldn't hold the big sword in his hand:

   "My physical strength seems to have been sucked away!"

  Matthew tried his best to perceive the information of those paper creatures.

  He didn't dare to activate the balanced perception, for fear of causing further changes in the scar of the dead.

   Fortunately, after a while.

   There is a response on the data bar.

  「Reminder: You have encountered an "Ash Pawn"!

   Your partner Rhaegar killed all the "Ash Pawns". In the process, some of his elements were extracted and copied by the Ash Pawns.

   "Ash Pawns" will become more numerous and stronger with the help of "Ash Lords"!

  A new batch of ashes pawns have launched a charge against you! "

   "This is "Ash Life"? "

   Matthew's heart skipped a beat.

  Seeing that everyone was about to attack again, he hurriedly called them to fight and retreat:

   "Don't fight with ashes near the scar of the dead, they are immortal, and will absorb the elements of the living to strengthen the power of the scar of the dead!"

   Hear Matthew say this.

  All the people stopped and quickly withdrew towards the direction of the oak forest.

   But even so.

  Also, half of the ashes pawns were killed by everyone with tears in their eyes because they rushed too fiercely.

   When a group of people retreated to the edge of the forest.

   Can vaguely see many red circles appearing on the ground of Scar of the Dead!

   "The number is still increasing!"

  Rega cursed:

   "And why are the most changed into my appearance?"

   During the conversation.

  The big sword in his hand swung uncontrollably, and accidentally wiped out the remaining half of the pawns!

   "No way!"

   Rhaegar sat down on an oak tree.

  His face was unusually pale, and his forehead was sweating madly.

   "Because you killed the most pawns, you also sucked the most life elements."

  Matthew said calmly:

"I have seen the introduction of this kind of creature in the information given by the Seven Saints Alliance. They are not a single life, but an extension of the scar of the dead. If the scar of the dead cannot be severely damaged, then this kind of creature called "ash" Creatures will accumulate more and more until we are completely defenseless, and they will triumphantly advance, thus further expanding the coverage area of ​​the Scar of the Dead. "

   Rhaegar said out of breath:

   "Then why didn't you say it earlier?"

  Matthew said helplessly:

   "You cut too fast, far faster than I expected of you."

   Lei Jia stared angrily for a while, seeing a new wave of ashes pawns coming again, he couldn't help asking worriedly:

   "Can your oak forest stop this monster?"

  Matthew shook his head and said:

   "I'm afraid not."

  In the next second, silver moon zombies crawled out from the entrance between the cemetery and the surface, and they walked steadily towards the fifty or so ashes pawns that resembled Rhaegar.

   "But my undead can."

   Matthew said so.

   The voice just fell.

  The zombies who swarmed up easily tore these ashes pawns into pieces!

   After another period of time, the red circles lit up again in Scar of the Dead, but this time, the number of red circles did not increase!

   "Sure enough, the pawns killed by the undead will not increase in number because they cannot absorb life elements."

   Matthew breathed a sigh of relief.

  As early as the moment he confirmed that the Lord of Ashes would send troops to hunt him down, Matthew began to prepare for today.

   During this period, the information provided by the Seven Saints Alliance has contributed a lot.

  The data clearly pointed out that as a half-inactivated tentacle left in the main material world by Yukrus, the lord of the void, the main domain of the scar of the dead is "ashes".

   Regarding this field, the alliance has also conducted in-depth research and data summary.

   Matthew found out after reading it.

  Ash and immortality, these are actually two domains that overlap in concept.

  Both cover at least part of "death".

   Compared with the undead domain, the two elements that are more important after sublimation are:

   "transcendence" and "eternity".

  The field of ashes embodies the "embers" and "destruction" produced by the entire universe when it is heading towards the inevitable end of withering.

  These two fields are destined to overlap and oppose each other.

   So using the undead is a good way to fight the enemies in the Ash Realm.

   In league history.

   There was also a project to summon a large number of Necromancers to slow down the expansion of Dead Mark.

  In terms of specific implementation, the effect of the project was not bad. For this reason, Baiyan City and Jade Cangting entered a honeymoon period that lasted for a long time.

   It was just very fast. Due to some unknowable factors, this project was inexplicably stopped within the alliance.

   Since then, Scar of the Dead has never been seriously restrained.

  In a summary report, an anonymous person in charge clearly pointed out that the failure of the project had nothing to do with the necromancer, and vaguely pointed out that the internal fighting of the alliance was the real reason for the suspension of the project.

  Of course, this report was also extracted by Matthew from a bunch of confusing information.

   It is very strange that the Alliance's data on Mark of the Dead has been polluted.

  The polluters seem to want to cover up some information, but they are also unwilling to destroy the real information, and in the end they can only make it extremely bloated.

   It's like mixing 1 lean and good-looking novel with 100 garbage works out of order.

  It is undoubtedly very difficult for ordinary people to decipher.

   Fortunately, Matthew has never been normal.

  His idea is very simple. Since this plan has been proven to be effective, he might as well continue to follow this idea.

  If you can reap stable happiness, there is no need to be unconventional.

   Now.

  Matthew controls 240 zombies and skeletons, and distributes them evenly between the southwestern end of the Scar of the Dead and the oak forest.

  These undead bear the brand of Matthew.

  The ashes pawns obviously don't have the ability to distinguish between Matthew and Matthew's summons.

  They only know how to attack the undead without thinking.

   Then he was easily killed by the undead.

Gradually.

  The situation is temporarily under control.

  The spawn time of Ash pawns has also become extremely regular—

Within three minutes after each death, a red halo will appear on the ground of Scar of the Dead, and the pawns will be reborn in the halo. After less than a minute of slow trek and no more than 15 seconds of fighting time, they will turn into Ashes returned to the scorched earth.

  The cycle seems to be endless.

   "Is there no way to eliminate them from the root?"

   After everyone watched for a while, Rega asked.

  Matthew shook his head:

   "This is the only thing we can do for the time being. As far as I know, if you want to completely wipe out these ashes, you have to severely injure the Scar of the Dead itself. This is not an easy task."

   "What do you guys think?"

  He looked at the others.

The number of people who came to Matthew's house for dinner tonight is not too many, mainly because Zeller went to the South Trading Station to deal with the haunting incident and has not returned yet. Apart from Rhaegar, only the captain of the defense, Brad, Mr. Richard from the Artisan Protection Association, and Old Fallon from the Veterans Mutual Aid Association remained.

  Matthew's eyes were mainly on the two people behind.

The reason why he was willing to spend a lot of money to treat everyone to a three-day feast of mutton is that on the one hand, he found that eating mutton and drinking mutton soup is actually helpful for him to master the malicious transformation technique, and on the other hand, he wanted to ask for help from the knowledge of these two and experience.

   Needless to say, Richard is a suspected legendary thief with rich experience.

  Old Faron is also a knight who returned from purgatory. He has a wealth of experience, and he seems to have hidden a lot of treasures. Naturally, Matthew is willing to spend more time with him.

  However, the two old foxes remained silent when facing Matthew's inquiring gaze.

  Only the bearded man is still seriously thinking about countermeasures:

"If only the undead can hinder the progress of these monsters, then don't we just need to provide Matthew with enough undead, let these zombies and skeletons form a human wall, and wrap the scars of the dead firmly in it? , will this thing never expand?"

  Matthew raised his eyebrows, and finally smiled encouragingly and said:

   "It's also a way of thinking."

   However, in fact.

  Manipulating so many undead at the same time is close to the upper limit of Matthew's mental power. Fortunately, the Ash **** is vulnerable. He only needs to give the undead an order to defend and counterattack on the spot, without consuming extra mental energy.

   But if it goes on like this for a long time.

  He will inevitably feel tired, not to mention controlling hundreds of thousands of undead at the same time to cover the scar of the dead.

  That's a complete fantasy.

  Think here.

  He looked at the two old foxes again with pleading eyes.

  Old Faron cleared his throat, as if he wanted to say something.

   But at this time.

  Rega suddenly jumped up from the ground:

   "Someone!"

  Matthew suddenly looked in the direction he pointed.

   But see the moonlight.

  On the other side of the Scar of the Dead.

   Seven or eight wooden carts rolled down the hillside one after another.

  Matthew has sharp eyes.

  He clearly saw the corpses of cattle and sheep piled up on the wooden cart!

  Boom!

  Those carts fell into the scar of the dead, and the corpses on them dried up quickly, and a large number of life elements merged into it.

  Suddenly.

  A huge red halo appeared in the center of the scorched earth.

   At the edge of the large aperture, there are hundreds of densely packed small apertures.

  「Warning: Ash Warriors are coming!」

  The top of the hill.

   A figure slowly appeared, it was a man with pimples all over his face and fierce eyes.

  He waved his hand at the crowd from a distance, and then roared loudly:

   "Hello! The Brotherhood of Silver Frost sends hello to you!"

"By the way, I would like to give a few words to those guys in your prison—let them stay in the cell well, don't even think about coming out! The brothers outside already have me as the new boss, and I will also take care of their wives and children. Take care of it, let them never miss it!"

   "By the way, my name is Setrunk, a scarlet hunter worth 30,000 bounties!"

   During the conversation.

  A dozen figures appeared behind him.

   Those people each had a trolley, but this time, the carts were no longer corpses of cattle and sheep, but **** human corpses!

   Hurrah!

   One trolley after another drove into the scorched earth.

  Matthew could clearly feel it.

  The power of ashes in the scorched earth is becoming stronger and stronger!

   "I'll get rid of them!"

   Rhaegar said with flamboyant steps.

  Matthew stopped him with one hand:

   "No need."

   Rhaegar frowned and said:

   "Is there something you can do to stop them?"

  Matthew winked at him:

   "Didn't you notice that there is one less person beside us?"

   Rhaegar turned his head away.

   Suddenly, he found that only Old Fallon was still looking at him with a smile.

   next to the ground.

   There is also an exquisite gentleman's walking stick.

   I don't know what I ate. In the evening, I went crazy again. I feel that I was marked by the king of the plague. Today, the number of words is less, 3900. I will save you a little and let me take it easy. The monthly pass is over 10,000 soon, don't forget to vote at the end of the month, thank you.
