There are many ways for the undead to be born, but the two most common ways are resurrection and transformation.
Transformation into undead creatures due to being soaked in the breath of death or special energy. This situation is called "revival" and is the main reason for the emergence of wild undead creatures. Necromancers generally use this method to transform corpses into undead creatures. Baili Almost all the undead in Yuan's undead army were born in this way.
Of course, this is not the case for the most powerful undead in the legion. Most of those powerful undead creatures were summoned by the magic of the undead disaster. Instead of following a certain undead monarch, they chose to go it alone and start their own business. There was a stove, but now the leeks were cut by Bailiyuan passing by.
Another way is "transformation", which is to turn living creatures into undead creatures, rather than transforming entities into undead creatures. The most common ones are undead creatures such as lich, and those who are currently facing the undead army. This is the case with these lizard corpse beasts.
Undead creatures born through transformation not only retain their memories and strength, but may also become stronger and gain special powers because their souls and powers are still retained in the corpse.
The situation of this kind of undead creature is more complicated and cannot be regarded as a simple undead creature, because its retained memory and three views make it an individual with its own self and its own preferences. It is not necessarily an enemy or an absolute enemy. friendly forces.
But this method of transformation is often linked to evil.
There may be many versions of why the method of transformation was developed. However, it is undeniable that most of the undead creatures that are transformed now are not actively transformed, but are forced to transform.
Some evil mages will transform their favorite targets into undead creatures, keep them around, control them, and use them as their servants. This is because some creatures with special physiques or special talents can act as catalysts through "transformation", which has a great impact. There is a chance that some powerful power will be awakened, which is exactly what those evil mages are pursuing.
This behavior is certainly not evil.
This kind of mage is often called a necromancer. He gave up the core of the necromancer's research on the soul and began to conduct research on corpses.
Such is the case with these corpse beasts.
The swamp lizard was transformed into a special lizard corpse beast.
However, unlike most of the undead in the undead army who have little IQ and consciousness, these lizard corpse beasts have retained the consciousness and strength of their lives, and they know what danger is and what fear is.
Now, they are scared.
There is no way, they are just a few pitiful corpse beasts that have just escaped from the cannon fodder. Facing an army of hundreds of thousands of undead... No matter how courage you give them, they will not dare to attack!
However, Bailiyuan did not issue an order to attack.
These lizard corpse beasts also found that the undead army did not attack them. These lizard corpse beasts hesitated for a moment, then turned around and ran back to the corrosive swamp.
King, it’s not good, there’s something going on!
…
As Bailiyuan expected, after a while, there was movement inside the corrosive swamp, and the mist covering the corrosive swamp also rolled violently, like a tiger awakened from a deep sleep.
At this time, the deepest part of the corrosive swamp is also the core area. The breath of death gathers here. Everything in sight seems to be shrouded in corruption and death. Only a white flower bud grows in the center of the swamp. It seems that not only has it not been Affected by death, it is filled with vitality.
Above the flower buds, a skeleton figure stood suspended in the air, with a long breath, as if it was practicing cultivation.
This is an undead monarch-level skeleton mage!
The skeleton mage wears a neat robe, with his skull shrouded in a hood, a ring on his finger, and a gorgeous staff in his hand. The staff is made of two long bones joined together, with a red gem inlaid on the top. The skull The mage's appearance is impressive at first glance, and his aura is extraordinary.
The skeleton mage opened his mouth, swallowed the aura of death that surrounded his body, ended his practice, and then looked up to the outside of the corrosive swamp.
It had just learned about the situation through the guarding corpse beasts on the periphery.
"Legion of the Undead? Whose subordinates are they?"
The voice of the Skeleton Mage was hoarse and unpleasant. Although it didn't know what happened and why the undead army came, it felt that the visitor was evil because the posture of the undead army seemed to be about to start a war. The reason why now The reason why we didn't rush in may be due to the special circumstances of the corrosive swamp.
But the Skeleton Mage also knows that the Corrosive Swamp cannot resist the undead army. It is only a matter of time before the undead army attacks. The opponent has already come up to block the door, so they must be well prepared.
The skeleton mage looked at the buds at his feet, and then touched the chest of his robe.
Could it be that the news was leaked and other undead monarchs knew that they had treasures here and came to snatch them?
Not likely.
"But no matter why you are here, I, the Skeleton Master, am not someone to be trifled with!" the Skeleton Master said sternly.
The skeleton mage's aura rose, stirring the fog that corroded the swamp.
Then... the skeleton mage decided to be cautious first and think about the issue of escape.
The fact that it can evolve from a skeleton soldier to a skeleton mage in the world of the dead is not because it is talented, but because it is cautious!
The opponent may have thought twice more, but it has already thought of an escape route.
Thinking of running before fighting is all about staying alive and not trembling.
Fortunately, it has made escape arrangements in advance. There are three escape routes, nine backup escape methods, and eighty-one backup escape plans...
But after running back and thinking about escape, I started thinking about fighting. Before starting the battle, check the enemy's strength. If you can beat it...
So, the Skeleton Mage released his mental power, walked through the fog of the corrosive swamp, took a glance, sensed it, activated [Crisis Sense], activated [Strength See Through], activated [The Invisible Man's Appearance]...
Then the Skeleton Mage withdrew his mental power and began to think about which escape route or which escape method would be safer.
Because just now it sensed a fatal sense of crisis from the direction of the undead army.
This is perceived by it using a skill involving the law of cause and effect, that is to say, as long as you hit it, you will die.
The skeleton mage decided to run away first.
After thinking about everything quickly, the Skeleton Mage finally looked at the bud and sighed.
"It's a pity that this flower hasn't bloomed yet, so I can't take it with me, but... my territory is not that easy to enter."
The skeleton mage arranged it for a while, took away his inventory, then tore up a teleportation scroll, and his figure disappeared immediately.
Although the teleportation scroll is precious, your life is even more precious.
As for that group of subordinates...
There is nothing to feel sorry for.
At the same time, Bai Liyuan, who was waiting outside, found that the fog that corroded the swamp was no longer billowing, but calmed down, as if nothing had happened.
"What happened?" Bailiyuan took out the Easter egg detector with some confusion, trying to see the location of the undead monarch.
Then he discovered that the diamond egg was missing.
"???"
