Being slapped on the back so suddenly, the mandrill suddenly trembled and turned his head quickly.
A pale and terrifying animal face immediately caught my eye.
"Boy, since when have I ever been dissatisfied with His Majesty the King of the Dead? Don't talk nonsense!"
The mandrill opened its big mouth with sharp fangs and shouted at me angrily.
"Hey, why don't you dare to admit what you said? I heard it just now. You said that His Majesty the King of the Dead is shameless."
"I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense!"
Mandrill shook his head repeatedly and gave me three consecutive denials.
"It doesn't matter if you don't admit it. Do you want me to report it to His Majesty the King of the Dead now? Do you think he will believe you?"
I looked at the mandrill and said calmly.
Upon hearing that I was going to report it, the mandrill's ferocious face suddenly shrunk and turned into a pitiful expression.
"Brother, don't be like this. We have no grudges. Why do you want to mess with me?"
Seeing Mandrill surrender, I said: "Actually, I don't mean to target you. We are new here and we were caught here."
"I just took pictures of you because I just wanted to know some about the situation in the Land of the Dead. I hope I can tell you."
After confirming that we were not trying to harm him, the mandrill relaxed, glanced at the undead soldier next to him, and then quickly turned his head with his back to me.
"Since your hearing is so sensitive, let me tell you this. It doesn't hurt to tell you some information."
The black-haired mandrill told me that there were originally three major forces in the Land of the Dead, namely the Corpse Demon King, the Dead Souls King and the Skeleton King. But later, for some unknown reason, the Corpse Demon King suddenly disappeared, and his three thousand subordinates were also missing. The clan became lonely as a result.
I had heard Gao Tianyi say this information before, so I didn't pay much attention to it. However, the information revealed by the black-haired mandrill caught my attention.
It turns out that after the decline of the Corpse Clan, the two remaining major forces in the Land of the Dead, the Undead King and the Skeleton King, began a war for territory. The two sides fought fiercely to the death.
Compared with the Undead King, the Skeleton King's army is larger in size, so it is on the offensive side most of the time, and has reached outside the Undead City several times.
In order to make up for the gap in the number of teams, the Undead King began to escort the ghost spirits gathered in the Undead City to the front line every now and then to serve as cannon fodder.
"Since you all know what the King of the Dead is doing, why are you still running to the City of the Dead?"
I asked a little confused.
"Hey, brother, you have just arrived and you don't understand the situation in the Land of the Dead."
The black-haired mandrill sighed and said helplessly: "The Land of the Dead has been a bitter cold place since ancient times. Most places have scarce resources and harsh environments."
"The only places rich in genius treasures are also firmly controlled by the King of the Dead and the Skeleton King."
"We, the ghost spirits who do not belong to any of the three major forces, can only survive in places with the worst conditions and thin Yin Qi."
"It's very difficult to survive, let alone improve your level. Many ghosts and ghosts often lose their spiritual consciousness and turn into withered bones because they are unable to improve."
"So, in order to survive, every once in a while, we have to bring the rare and exotic herbs that we have collected with great difficulty to the City of the Dead for trading, in exchange for genius treasures or panaceas that can help us improve."
"So, there is nothing we can do about it. If you are unlucky enough to be captured by the King of the Undead, you can only consider yourself unlucky."
Listening to the black-haired mandrill's narration, I gained a better understanding of the King of the Dead and the Skeleton King.
"Then what are you going to do next? Just be cannon fodder for the King of the Dead?"
I asked next.
"The King of the Undead is very powerful. If you don't agree, he can kill you with just one finger. What can he do?"
The black-haired mandrill shook his head and suddenly said: "However, I can teach you a way to save your life."
"After fighting the skeleton army later, you can pretend to be injured in the melee, and then escape from the battlefield while neither party is paying attention. This is the only way to escape."
I'm not sure how feasible Black-haired Mandrill's proposal is, but I still expressed my gratitude to him.
While the black-haired mandrill was speaking to me, Li Zhiyi on the stage also made an impassioned speech and began to ask the audience if they were willing to accept the call from His Majesty the King of the Undead.
There was silence in the audience. I looked around and saw all the ghosts, spirits, and zombies with their heads lowered and saying nothing.
Although I can't see through the expressions of these ghosts, I can still feel the resentment and dissatisfaction in their hearts.
"Okay, since no one says anything, I will assume that you agree. You should feel honored to be able to serve His Majesty the King of the Dead!"
Li Zhiyi didn't care and directly made the decision for the ghosts in the audience.
"Your Majesty, they have all been shocked by your power and have all agreed to join our team. Please give your instructions."
Li Zhiyi turned around, faced the black sedan, and said with a flattering expression.
It has to be said that Li Zhiyi is indeed a good dog who can please his master. No wonder he is quickly appreciated by both the Sea Wolf King and the Undead King.
"Li Zhiyi, you have done a good job, and I will reward you."
A mechanical, hollow and cold sound came from the black sedan.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Li Zhiyi hurriedly knelt down and said with excitement on his face.
"Continue to divide your troops and prepare to fight."
The Undead King continued.
"yes!"
Li Zhiyi responded, then stood up, turned around, and began to divide into groups according to the instructions of the Undead King.
"The undead soldiers listen to the order. Now divide these recruits into three brigades according to the distinction between ghosts, ghost zombies and humans. Quick!"
After Li Zhiyi gave the order, the undead soldiers standing next to us got busy and began to regroup and arrange us according to the similarities and differences of our races.
Lonnie, Bai Ze, and Jingjing all restrained their fairy auras. The undead soldiers didn't notice, so they regarded the five of us as human beings and grouped them together.
Only then did I discover that there really are other human beings besides us.
There are not many of these humans, only a dozen or so, and most of them look vicious, not like good people.
This is not difficult to understand, because Gao Tianyi has warned before that most of the humans who can enter and exit the Land of the Dead are evil people and bandits, and basically there are few good people.
Come to think of it, these people are also notorious figures outside, but now, they can only obey Li Zhiyi's instructions and be assigned to a group with us.
"Master, I see you again."
