A few days later…

To the east of the red rock volcano, there is a mountain forest.

In space hundreds of thousands of meters above the ground, a satellite is floating quietly, with lenses all over the sphere constantly expanding and contracting to observe the situation on the ground.

Seen from space, this red mountain range is particularly conspicuous. The surrounding terrain is flat and the vegetation is sparse, making it easy to identify.

There is a small patch of white on the top of the mountain, which is accumulated ice and snow over the years. Below is the red rock mountain, and at the foot of the mountain is a circle of lush forest.

The Red Rock Volcano has not erupted for hundreds of years, but the underground lava is still active, and the hot spring water of Shin-Edo is drawn from here.

Thanks to the rich nutrients of volcanic ash and melted snow water on the top of the mountain, vegetation at the foot of the mountain grows vigorously, including birch, spruce, larch, and various ferns.

"Wow wow wow..."

A deep sound came from the hillside, and several shaky figures appeared at the edge of the forest.

Their skin is pale and their eyes are empty, like walking human corpses. They are the most common mutated creatures in the red earth world - the living dead.

The number of living dead is extremely large. They are mutated by living corpse bacteria invading the corpses of humanoid creatures. They are produced by the corpses of the 50 billion people before the cataclysm, and they are also produced by corpses brought by the undercurrent of time and space. According to the experts of the White Tower scholars,

According to accurate statistics, the number of living dead scattered around the world is as high as 700 billion, which is almost inexhaustible.

These living dead seemed to smell the scent of living creatures coming from the foot of the mountain, crawled out of the mud, and went down the mountain in search of food.

"call out!"

Suddenly there was a sound of piercing the air in the woods, and a living corpse seemed to be concentrated by something. A ball of blood exploded on its head, and its head tilted to one side.

"Hala!"

Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen green monsters sprang out of the trees, holding crude sticks and rusty kitchen knives, and rushed towards the living corpses screaming.

Some of them were riding wolves, some were wearing red cloaks, and some were holding short spears and throwing them as they ran.

The encounter between the two sides was very chaotic. The living corpse bit the little green monster, and the little green monster hit the living corpse on the head with a stick and kitchen knife. After a fierce battle, the little green monster with the numerical advantage won the final victory.

But they also paid half the price, and the remaining half dragged the body deeper into the woods.

More than ten minutes later, they dragged the body to an underground cave.

This cave looks like an ordinary underground cave from the outside, a lair for some small to medium-sized creatures.

But it's actually a huge underground fortification with torches on the walls and thousands of little green monsters digging inside.

The corpses were dragged to a place that served as a storage room and piled up. Judging from the light of the torch, the corpses were piled up into a mountain, so densely packed that it made one's scalp numb.

Above the underground fortifications, a hammock hangs between two spruce trees.

There was a man lying on the hammock, swiping away with a portable screen in his hand. There was a teacup on the rough table beside the bed, which was easily accessible.

"Chi chi chi..."

Not far from the hammock, an insectoid creature the size of a calf was lying on the ground eating. Its food was a living corpse. The upper body had been eaten, leaving only the waist and two legs.

It ate happily, turning its head from time to time and making affectionate calls to the man in the hammock.

If any adventurers passing by saw such a scene, they would probably be frightened.

This seemingly leisurely man is none other than Chen Xing, who came here three days ago. While directing the goblins to dig underground fortifications, he used tactical satellites to observe the surrounding situation, and directed the goblin team to hunt for living corpses.

The insect creature that was eating was a queen ant from the nest. In order to let the other party gain a foothold here as soon as possible, Chen Xing simply helped her dig the hole and prepare food to let her go through the most difficult period of development.

This will be the new territory of the queen of hundreds of nests. When this queen of nests grows up and ignites the spiritual fire, Suna will be able to use teleportation to move around at will.

.

After laying out the plan, Chen Xing planned to take Su Na with him so that he could move elsewhere at any time. Although it was not as good as Lumsden's space gate, it was still a hundred times better than making an airplane.

He has already thought about finding an island with suitable longitude and latitude and a climate similar to Hawaii, and building his holiday palace on the island. If nothing happens, he will ask Suna to send him back for vacation.

There are many maids on this island, and he is the only man who enjoys the most decadent life with beautiful girls on the beach and sunshine every day.

Of course, there is still a long time before this day. At least we must stabilize our position first, otherwise everything will be just a castle in the air and a dream.

"King of Corpses, my little King of Corpses, where are you..."

Chen Xing drew the map at random, looking for the "big guy".

In the past three days, he has sent all the living corpses that can be found within a ten-kilometer radius into the storage room, including more than a dozen guard-level iron corpses, poison corpses and other mutated creatures.

But he hopes to find a few lord-level ones, because after the mutated queen ants grow to a certain level, they need to be devoured in order to ignite the spiritual fire.

For mutated creatures that use crystal nuclei as spiritual energy carriers, lighting spiritual fires is a symbol of evolution from non-intelligent creatures to intelligent creatures. Its significance is like being reborn.

While gaining wisdom, their use of spiritual energy will also reach a higher level, opening up more species inheritance skills.

Strictly speaking, the queen who ignites the spiritual fire is the queen of hundreds of nests. However, according to the colony system of termite species, each ant colony can only have one queen of hundreds of nests at the same time, unless the queen dies or is promoted.

to a higher level.

"Woojiajia, wujiajia!"

"Gulu Gulu Tower, Gulu Gulu Tower!"

Suddenly a noisy voice sounded in my mind. "Wujiajia" means "good-looking member of the opposite sex" in Goblin language, but the Goblin language is simple, and one word often means many meanings.

For example, Wujiajia here means "finding the target".

Because Wu Jiajia is followed by "Gulu Gulu Tower".

The meaning of Gulu Gulu Tower is "I want your head." In the eyes of goblins, Vugaja is a tool for reproduction, and it is impossible to want the other person's head, so the meaning here is, "We find the big guy, we want it."

Brain.”

Chen Xing mobilized the tactical satellite and focused on the location of the goblin team.

Although tactical satellites can observe every plant and tree within a ten-kilometer diameter range, just like looking at a real-time map, your eyes must focus on a point to see specific things clearly.

Goblins have their own consciousness, and they will deal with ordinary living corpses on their own. Only if they cannot deal with it, or under special circumstances, will they notify the host.

A huge figure appeared on the satellite screen, more than forty meters tall, walking slowly between the mountain peaks, like a moving small high-rise building.

"Good guy, Corpse King!"

Chen Xing regained his energy and rolled out of the hammock.

"You hide down there and wait for me to come back."

Chen Xing gave instructions to the little ant queen, who immediately raised her insect sickle and called out twice, then turned her clumsy body and ran into the burrow.

A moment later, Chen Xing appeared on a rocky hillside filled with lava streams.

The huge corpse king was five hundred meters away, moving slowly.

This corpse king is different from the corpse kings seen in the northern wilderness. It is completely black, its eyes are full of fire, and there is green smoke coming out of the body.

This is a lava living corpse that usually hides in the flowing lava and molten iron. The more lava it absorbs, the bigger it becomes.

But for living zombies, the best meal is living animals. It is estimated that this lava zombie king smelled the smell of live goblins and ran out to look for food.

"Try new skills."

Chen Xing muttered something, instead of rushing to get the gun, he looked at the sky.

As he thought, a pair of channels were opened on both sides of the tactical satellite in space.

A small slit is opened, and two circular flywheels are pushed out from the inside.

The edge of the flywheel is serrated, very similar to the saw teeth on a cutting machine.

"bass!"

The flywheel spun at high speed, like a sawing machine, and then ejected with a bang.

A few seconds later, two cold lights flashed in the sky, and then turned into two fire lights, which were high-temperature flames produced by friction when passing through the atmosphere.

"Whoa!"

The flywheel flew left and right, spinning down in an arc, and sliced ​​towards the Corpse King.

The Corpse King seemed to be aware of the attack and turned around slowly, but its reaction was half a beat too slow, and the flywheel had already reached its body and was stuck in its chest.

"Stab it!"

The flywheel rotated at high speed, its saw teeth turned red, and two jets of black ash spewed out from the giant's chest.

The tough skin was cut open, and hot lava spurted out.

However, as time went by, the flywheel rotated slower and slower, and finally lost its force and fell to the ground, turning into star sand and disappearing.

"The power is average..."

"I wonder if I can add some motivation."

Chen Xing groaned and started the second flywheel.

"Psychic infusion!"

He thought silently in his mind and threw his consciousness into space.

The tactical satellite pushed out a new flywheel and began to accelerate.
To be continued...
