The Rise of the Cemetery

The plane of Klein, somewhere in the World of Warcraft.

This is a secluded valley located in the wild mountains. The ancient trees in the forest are tall and vigorous, and the open cattail fans and big umbrellas often occupy an area of ​​​​acres. Surrounded by peaks and ravines, birds and insects are constantly singing.

However, somewhere in this green forest, a thin and short sneaky figure was standing under the shade of an ancient tree, slowly and carefully looking at everything around him.

This is a jungle world full of vitality. It looks quite peaceful on the surface, but in fact, there are thousands of species fighting for their own survival under this tranquility.

With Oro's keen vision, he could see a krait on the tall black sycamore 100 meters away carefully approaching the colorful sparrows in the forest; and among the layers of dead branches and leaves under them, a The piebald scorpion is in a life-and-death struggle with a vicious rat; and in the distance, a razor boar is lazily shuttling through the forest. It seems that it has just had a full meal and is planning to go back to its nest for a good night's sleep... …

A huge and vigorous figure quickly passed by in the sky, and palpitating bursts of long chirps were sprinkled from the midair.

Oro glanced up and saw that it was an adult wyvern with a body length of 4 meters.

Wyvern, sub-dragon species, with only two feet, claws and toes like birds, wings with scales or feathers, and a barbed or snake-like tail. Wyvern has the lineage of dragons and griffins. Its main body looks like a griffin, but it does not have the fluffy and dense feathers of a griffin. Instead, it is covered with fine scales like dragon scales.

This kind of guy has always lived in groups. If you see a single Wyvern, it means that its lair is nearby.

Wyverns are almost extinct in the Klein Continent, but they are so common in the Warcraft Continent. This was the third pack of dragons Oro had seen since he plunged headlong into the jungle. Although these groups of wyverns are often similar, with little difference in appearance, Oro still found the difference with his sharp eyes.

Most of the wyverns near the coastal areas have long tails, are not poisonous, and often prey with ferocious volley pounces. The Wyverns seen today have short tails, which are alien species with terrible toxicity, and are more vicious than those with long tails.

While he was meditating silently, a black figure slowly emerged from the shadows of the trees around him, bowed and saluted and said, "Lord Oro, the west side has been investigated!"

"How is it going?"

"Small jungle beasts can be ignored. The only initial threat to us is a group of four-armed apes. There are 37 of them. They live on a cliff 30 miles to the west, and they will not easily stay away from that area.

Oro nodded, and the black shadow merged into the shadow behind him again. Soon, a new black figure emerged from the inside, reporting the surrounding information to Oro, the leader of the "Dark Assassin".

After listening to the sentinel reports, Oro finally combined the surrounding topography and the distribution of monsters in his mind to form a complete map that is not exhaustive but not missing.

It has been 6 days away from the coastline here, and I will not easily expose myself to the sight of outsiders. However, there are many monster groups around, but there are no powerful species that can really threaten the cemetery. In addition, this is a vast and quiet valley. Building a city here will not attract the attention of those legendary monsters in the short term.

Now that the safety has been confirmed, Oro didn't delay any longer, and immediately called the master's master in the soul system.

A multicolored portal slowly opened under the huge tree shade, and Li Xun's thin and tall figure emerged little by little in the dense teleportation glare.

After the dizziness of teleportation subsided in his mind, Li Xun raised his head and looked around, then raised his hand and released the cemetery team in his soul space without saying a word.

A full combat team of 160 powerful troops from the cemetery appeared on the spot, and quickly began to spread the vigilance to the surrounding area.

With Oro's early investigation, the basic situation of the nearby monsters has been found out, so the building of the city went quite smoothly.

Of course, the 30 specially dispatched abominations became the most industrious and hardworking workers. They bulldozed the trees and bushes that were in the way, leveled the land, and first chose a suitable location for the sea of ​​bones in a secluded valley.

Just as they were busy for a while, the combat teams sent out to harvest began to return one after another. The number of prey killed is always small, and most of the prey are captured alive. The battle in the distance is still going on, and the giant bat demon transporting the loot is ups and downs, busy.

Jungle troll, forest goblin, rabid ape, razor boar, jungle sloth, lightning leopard...

These guys who lived here peacefully had suffered. The elite squads led by high-ranking Lich were simply not something they, low-ranking monsters, could resist. They were defeated and captured one by one. Among the prey, Li Xun even saw a poor wyvern whose wings had been cut off.

Soon, the number of creatures required to summon a sea of ​​bones will be enough!

So Li Xun completed the construction of the sea of ​​bones in the center of the valley with ease.

However, there was still a little twists and turns during the construction process, that is, more than a dozen biped wyverns who screamed mournfully followed the breath of their companions and came here to seek revenge. Of course, when they came, they stayed, and finally buried their bones in the endless bone pit of the sea of ​​bones.

At the moment when the sea of ​​bones was completely formed, Li Xun sensed an undetectable mental wave for no reason. This mental fluctuation is too weak and pure, and one cannot feel the emotional desire that any creature should have. Instead, it is calm and indifferent like a mirror bred in the world, allowing all things to feel their own existence from it.

Plane consciousness? Not quite! It is impossible for the plane consciousness to be so indifferent and peaceful, and in terms of the spiritual strength it feels, it is far from the grandeur that the plane consciousness should have.

Some powerful creature specializing in psionic powers? But it's not quite like it! Any creature should have its own emotions and desires, and it is impossible to have no desires and desires. This is simply like an old man who has experienced the vicissitudes of thousands of years. He no longer has any desires and distractions for the outside world, and just wants to sit quietly and watch the years go by.

This mental wave was attracted by Guhai's weirdness, but he quickly retreated after just a brief contact with Guhai, and Li Xun didn't give Li Xun a chance to study it in depth. This could not help but make Li Xun feel a little worried.

If this mental wave really belonged to a certain person or some kind of strange beast, then it must be the strongest individual that Li Xun has come into contact with so far. It's not a good thing to be perceived by such a guy!

Out of personal concerns, Li Xun made two trips to the Undercity, and transferred a large number of elite cemeteries from there, raising the guarding power of the newly formed cemetery city to 500.

And Li Xun didn't dare to delay, and completed the construction of the new cemetery city day and night. The cemetery buildings with strange and eerie shapes rose from the ground, and gradually began to fill up the newly developed land.

In just 5 days, the new cemetery city, Yinfeng City, was born in the shadow of a jungle.

Since Li Xun consciously used the Book of the Dead when building Yinfeng City, Yinfeng City has a city special effect that all non-spiritual undead creatures get the effect of "bone strengthening".

This "Bone Strengthening" effect can directly upgrade low-level skeleton zombies to one level. Those born in the sea of ​​bones are no longer the lowest-level skeletons, but skeleton warriors, and zombies are no longer rotten zombies, but dark warriors, a low-level form of dark warriors. This "bone strengthening" can also give death knights and bone dragons a powerful effect similar to stone skin, while Lich has an extra layer of bone shield.

Very nice, really nice urban special effects. It's not in vain that Li Xun wasted a book of the dead obtained from the demiplane of the legendary lich.

The Book of the Dead, according to legend, is a mysterious handwriting left by a crazy arcanist who secretly studied undead spells during the Arcane Empire. It is full of various misinterpretations and curses on life by a distorted consciousness. Its value itself is not high. As a magic item, it can cast a resurrection of the undead for free every day, and forcibly transform several creatures into skeleton warriors and skeleton shooters.

Such cursed items have no meaning at all to Li Xun, so they are used as consumables to obtain a practical city special effect.

When the dark sky of Yinfeng City was completed, large groups of black smoke were spit out, floating in the sky above a hundred meters and slowly spreading to the surroundings. Under the dark sky, the entire land was shrouded in dead air. The lush green plants withered and withered, and all the branches and leaves of the towering ancient trees fell off, and they were transformed into ghosts in the shortest possible time. Tree.

The core buildings of the cemetery's units have been fully constructed, and even the mage's tower has stood tall and is operating smoothly. Only then did Li Xun breathe a sigh of relief.

500 middle and high-level cemetery elites guard such a new city. Before the bones of the city wall and the war tower are built, the number is indeed too small in comparison. But considering that there are not too powerful foreign enemies around, it is basically safe here.

As for the mysterious mental fluctuation that he had been in contact with briefly before, Li Xun had a vague guess, but he didn't plan to say it until it was confirmed.

...

However, at the moment when Yinfeng City plunged into the sea of ​​bones, thousands of miles away, in the middle of a mysterious green grassland, a huge ancient tree soaring into the sky, the trunk alone was tens of meters thick suddenly trembled stand up.

The huge canopy that stretched out like a giant umbrella shook so violently that countless green branches and leaves floated down like snowflakes, leaving a thick layer on the grass.

Countless old people wearing clothes woven with green leaves, grass and vines rushed here, stamping their feet and beating their chests around this huge ancient tree, heartbroken. As an ancient druid race that has survived thousands of years in the World of Warcraft, they have never seen such a violent emotional reaction from the Ancient Tree of Life.

Several arch druids in the council of elders met for a discussion, and the oldest arch druid in the head stepped forward, reached out and caressed the trembling torso of the ancient tree of life, and communicated with it silently .

After a while, the head druid suddenly put down his hand, turned around and roared angrily: "Evil! A huge evil has entered our world, let the children move! Go find the source of that evil, Let them feel the wrath of nature!"
