Chapter 893

~7 min read 1,386 words

Tasi City is the largest city on the edge of the Burning Wind Forest, with a total population of over two million. There are several mass graves outside the city, among which the valley located six kilometers east of the city is the largest one.

As soon as Ang's group entered the valley, the Monarch couldn't help but take a deep breath: "Such rich death aura, it's a good place."

Naji and Gray Stick couldn't help but look at each other. It's gloomy and terrifying here, how could it be a good place?

"Alright, search separately. In a place with such rich death aura, we should be able to find some stronger undead creatures, right?" the Monarch said.

"Ah? Separate? Do we have to separate too? No, my lord, I am your most loyal subject, I want to follow you." Gray Stick was so scared that her face turned pale. If she were left alone in such a gloomy and terrifying place, what if a hand reached out from the ground to touch her feet?

The Monarch looked at her and said helplessly: "Troublesome guy, you follow Naji."

After speaking, the four people divided into three groups and began to search in three directions. They needed to find a soul strong enough, at least at the level of a Soul Heart, to withstand Silver Coin's projection.

The steps are too troublesome. Ang first assimilated the newborn godhead into the Godhead of Profiteering, let Silver Coin's consciousness project onto this godhead, and then project onto another body through this godhead. In this way, another body needs to be strong and compatible enough to accommodate the descent of divine power.

The problem is where to find such a strong divine caster?

There should be some inside the Merchant Alliance, but Silver Coin dare not use them, because the god Silver Coin is too mature and clearly not newborn. Projecting onto other divine casters would easily expose him.

The best body is actually the God Body grown from a God-Planting Flower, but the problem is Ang doesn't have seeds...

Give him some time, and Ang can cultivate plants similar to the God-Planting Flower through the World Tree. The original God-Planting Flower was also cultivated by elf druids, but don't count on it in the short term.

So the final method is to find a strong soul, let the soul form a soul connection with the godhead, and project it onto the body through the soul network, just like Nai Ge Li Si.

But the problem is, Nai Ge Li Si is very weak, and any soul fire can withstand its projection. The current Silver Coin is a complete godhead, and without enough strength, it cannot withstand his projection.

Of course, the Monarch can also rub out a Soul Heart, but now soul energy is precious to death, and he doesn't have enough for himself, so he won't waste energy to rub out a Soul Heart. He has to come out and look for a suitable one.

If you really can't find a Soul Heart, a top-level soul fire can also be used. Ang and the Monarch both know how to urge a top-level soul fire into a Soul Heart.

Ang wandered around in the mass grave. This mass grave is a very long and wide valley with a large area, planted everywhere with locust trees, mulberry trees, eucalyptus trees, etc., with lush branches and leaves, blocking the sunlight.

Under the shade of the trees, it was dead silent, with grave mounds everywhere. Some grave mounds had been dug open by unknown creatures, revealing white bones inside. Some grave mounds were just a straw mat covered with thin soil. Now only the rotten straw mat remained, and the things inside were long gone.

However, in this harsh environment, Ang actually saw someone. A monster wearing dirty rags poked his head out from behind a locust tree from afar, carefully aiming at him.

It really is a human, alive, not a zombie or skeleton.

The other party didn't approach or disturb him, so Ang ignored the other party and searched on his own, looking left and right, but found nothing after a long time.

Just then, the rag monster suddenly made a hoarse voice and said: "You... are you looking for 'good' corpses? I know where there are some. Give me two gold coins, and I'll tell you where."

As he spoke, the rag monster walked out from behind the tree, and Ang immediately discovered the strangeness of him... her.

This monster is a woman, thin and dry, but with a big belly, like a malnourished pregnant woman. But the strangest thing is that there is actually a strong soul in her belly.

"???" Several question marks popped up in Ang's heart. There is actually a soul in a living person's belly? Ang had seen this situation for the first time.

Seeing Ang looking at her without speaking, the female monster said again: "Can your construct speak? Two gold coins, I'll tell you where there are good 'corpses'. If you agree, let your construct extend two fingers."

The female monster obviously misunderstood Ang as a construct controlled by someone behind him, and she seemed accustomed to this kind of thing. Do people often control constructs to find corpses here?

Ang extended his fingers and made a two.

The female monster walked over quickly. Although she had a big belly, the woman's movements were not bloated like a pregnant woman at all. After getting close, the female monster extended her hand.

The distance was close, and the perception was more real. There really was a strong soul in the female monster's belly, but she was alive. It was too weird.

Ang took out two gold coins and placed them in the woman's open palm. This was a rough palm, with cracks and thick calluses everywhere. It was a laborer's hand at a glance.

The female monster verified the authenticity of the gold coins and said bitterly: "I didn't expect you to carry gold coins even on your constructs. You're really rich. There are a few old trees in this direction, and the tree hearts are empty. I hid some special corpses in the trunks. You just need to find the hollow old trees."

As the female monster spoke, she backed away, and only after retreating to a safe distance did she turn around and run away quickly.

Ang looked up at the locust tree beside him. The locust tree canopy immediately shook, as if blown by a light breeze, making a rustling sound. Since he planted the World Tree, no one in this world could escape his perception in places with plants.

Following the direction pointed by the female monster, Ang soon found a few hollow old trees, each with a corpse stuffed inside the trunk.

They were indeed good corpses, fresh, strong, and tough. Hiding corpses in the trunks of dead trees was indeed a good method. Just drill a hole at the bottom of the trunk, and all the moisture would be drained.

A dry environment would form in the tree hole, slowly toughening the corpse into a dried corpse.

The corpses were good corpses, and there was even one with natural elements remaining on it. It was obviously a mage's corpse. A mage, actually buried in a mass grave after death?

It's a pity, what Ang needs is a soul, not a corpse.

But Nai Ge Li Si said that a thief cannot leave the treasure house empty-handed. Even if it's feces, you have to pick up a few pieces. Ang would naturally pick up feces if there were any. That's farm fertilizer...

Ang condensed a few balls of soul fire, stuffed them into these "good" corpses, and then walked in the direction the female monster left. The trees around made rustling sounds, guiding the way.

Soon, Ang came to the ruins of a high-end cemetery. The collapsed cemetery was still the most "luxurious" place in the entire mass grave, with large stone strips everywhere, forming a ruin like a stone array.

A few teenagers excitedly drilled out from between the stone strips. The leading child tightly clutched a gold coin in his hand, and his companions behind him jumped excitedly: "Let's go buy food, let's go buy food."
