Chapter 98: The Premonition of the Invasion of the Wind of the Dead
Thirteenth month, second weekend, heavy rain!
There are also complete weather changes in this plane fragment, but the plane is too small, the origin is insufficient, and the weather changes are not drastic enough.
At most there will be some rain, some wind, and occasional thunder. The legendary tornado, thunderstorm and other extreme weather conditions are unlikely to occur.
Li Qing took a break from his busy schedule after class, moved a chair to the door of the Divine Realm Tower, and used the wood stored in the palm of his hand to make a table. He placed a set of tea sets he had bought before on the table, and began to drink alone.
A beam of scorching heat hits the bottom of the ceramic teapot, and the high temperature quickly boils the water.
Simply wash the cup, rinse off the tea foam, brew the tea, and finally pour it into a wide-mouthed cup in front of you.
Li Qing doesn't like brewing tea in small cups. He likes to put all the tea in a large cup after it's brewed, wait for it to cool down a little and then drink it in big gulps.
Watching the heavy rain outside the window, listening to the rustling sound of raindrops hitting the ground, the house and the trees, and then drinking it in a big gulp, it feels very refreshing.
The premise is that no one disturbs you.
But, it's difficult.
After drinking a cup of tea and being in a daze for a while, Li Qing opened the apprentice exchange area of the Divine Realm Network, which was more lively than before.
The most important word in it is undead.
Affected by the Wind of Chaos, although it has not yet completely blown over, the marginal effects of the Wind of Chaos have begun to appear, and the undead have begun to revive in the plane.
This means that the edge of the Wind of Chaos has begun to touch the plane and start to affect it.
Now the Scourge Lords in this Wind of Chaos are all undead, so it is also called the Wind of Undead. The first impact it brings to the plane is that the undead in the plane begin to revive.
The closer the Wind of Chaos gets, the more the undead will revive. If the Wind of Undead completely submerges the plane, all living beings that died within a hundred years in the entire plane will be revived as long as their residual souls have not completely dissipated.
And these newly resurrected undead will be controlled by the Scourge Lords within the Winds of Chaos.
This is their biggest crisis. Countless undead gather together to form a mighty undead army, which ordinary war lord apprentices cannot resist at all.
It is worth mentioning that among all the winds of chaos, the undead are the weakest.
There are seven types of Chaos Winds, representing the seven natural enemies of all creatures in the seven planes of the Chaos Void Sea. From weak to strong, they are:
The Wind of Undead is full of undead, and its leader is the Lord of Death, or the Lord of the Undead.
The Wind of Demon is filled with various demons, and the leader is the Demon Lord.
The Wind of Chaos contains everything, including demons, undead, various fallen intelligent creatures, etc., and its leader is the Lord of Chaos.
The Wind of Corruption contains the fallen ones from each destiny race. They are generally very powerful, and their leaders are called Fallen Lords.
The Wind of Evil God, in it are all kinds of extremely terrifying evil creatures, the famous ancient evil creatures, the ancient abominations are all among them, and the leader is called the Evil God Lord.
The Wind of Void, inside it are various powerful void creatures. The Void Lords are all promoted through destiny from powerful void creatures. The weakest Void Lord is comparable to the throne of God, and is also called the Void Evil God.
The Wind of Chaos, the original Wind of Chaos, is also the origin of the name of the Wind of Chaos. The weakest among them are Chaos Evil Gods who are comparable to powerful divine powers. The powerful Chaos Demon Gods can be compared with the Supreme Being and are the most dangerous existences in Chaos.
But not the most deadly, nor the most threatening.
Because the Wind of Chaos has been sleeping in various places deep in the Chaos Void Sea, it is difficult to see it moving, and it poses almost no threat to the planes in the Chaos Void Sea.
Except for the Wind of Chaos, the other six Winds of Chaos are the natural enemies of the billions of planes of the Chaos Void Sea, and there is no distinction between them.
All lords can be collectively referred to as Scourge Lords.
Although the six kinds of Chaos Winds have different strengths and degrees of threat, for an ordinary War Lord apprentice like Li Qing, if faced alone, the threat levels are all the same, and the result is death.
By now, Li Qing has personally felt the impact of the Wind of Undeath.
The undead are reviving everywhere in the plane, and even near his own divine domain, some wandering undead appear from time to time, coming .
These undead spirits are not very powerful and their numbers are few, so they do not pose any threat, but they always affect the production work in the territory.
After all, after Li Qing decided to join Miss Gu's team, he would close his divine domain when the time came, so he no longer needed to consider the surrounding ecology. Recently, he has been arranging laborers to cut wood.
These undead can't do anything to the regular army, but they have no problem slaughtering civilians.
Li Qing had to ask An Erqiu to arrange some troops to form a small team to guard the place where the laborers were cutting wood.
Of course, at this stage the wind of undead has just started and the impact is not big, but it is hard to say what will happen in the future, so Li Qing decided to cut wood for another month and call it a day. Anyway, there is enough wood and stone available, and the purpose of cutting wood is just to store as much as possible.
However, this is a small trouble for war lords like them, but it is a good thing for ordinary apprentices.
They were unable to do anything to the snake-man towns and large alien tribes, which resulted in their strength remaining relatively low without much growth.
Now that the Wind of Undead has revived, undead are constantly awakening, mostly in small numbers or in small groups, which is perfect for them to accumulate combat experience and upgrade.
Now, near several large player's castles, a large number of apprentices have united to form teams and go out into the wild to kill.
Even in Li Qing's Divine Domain Castle, there were several teams, two of which were Li Qing's professional subordinates. Dai Lirong, Shang Yingxin and Xia Mang formed a team, and the two Xie brothers formed a team. Each of them brought a small team of heavy infantry and imperial sharpshooters as guards, and they had a great time all the way.
Apart from these, there is not much news about other War Lord Apprentices on the Divine Realm Network.
The only big event is that the academy announced the opening of the exit channel half a month ago. If any apprentice feels that he or she is not strong enough, he or she can now apply to leave this plane fragment and go to a safer plane fragment.
Although other planes in this plane group are also under the influence of the wind of undead, they are suppressed by the Blackrock Tower of the academy. At most, the wind blows through a circle of planes on the edge of the plane fragment group. The plane fragments in the center of the fragment group are little affected. It is estimated that there will not even be many undead heroes, let alone the invasion of the Lord of the Scourge.
But as far as Li Qing knows, it seems that not many apprentices are willing to leave.
Most of them united together, or formed a group with the apprentices under the same mentor, for example, Cao Wenyuan and Zhang Jishan under mentor Nie Yang joined together with most of the other apprentices.
Or they may join a team composed of apprentices under many five-star mentors as a younger brother. For example, Miss Gu's team has added six new apprentices in recent days, all of them are younger brothers, and none of them is qualified to become a formal member like Li Qing.
Including Miss Gu, there are a total of six official members and eleven younger brothers.
As the saying goes, if you can't beat them, join them. You can't make it on your own, so find someone to lean on for support.
Although it is still very dangerous, there is always a chance and there is always hope.
Fortune and wealth must be sought through risk at any time. Li Qing also understood their thoughts. They had poor qualifications and a bad background. If they didn't dare to risk their lives, how could they get ahead?
At this time, it would take two or three months for Li Qing's divine domain to restart, and it could only be put away again after the Wind of Undead completely approached this plane fragment.
So before that, he had to stay alive and hoard more rock golems.
This is what Li Qing thought, and in the following days he concentrated on studying in the divine domain, constantly making various rock golems, and trading dog-headed man corpses with the academy every half a month or so, and then using these corpses to refine the dragon bloodline.
Time passed by unknowingly, and the plane became more and more noisy as the wind of undead gradually approached. Li Qing still stayed quietly in his own divine domain, constantly creating rock golems.
With his efficiency, he can make one in about a day, excluding the time for studying, doing other things, and resting.
This efficiency is quite high for an individual, but it is still too little for Li Qing.
But there was nothing he could do, he was working alone and no one could help him.
He is responsible for all the processes, from preparing materials, shaping the form, drawing the magic circle, to activating the rock golem.
All he can say is that when he becomes stronger and has enough subordinates, he can leave things like the Rock Golem to his apprentices, and he should concentrate on making big ones like the Iron Golem.
Early that morning, Li Qing had a simple breakfast and was preparing to make a rock golem as usual when he suddenly received a communication request from his mentor.
After opening the communication, the instructor said to him in a deep voice:
"Just received news that the underground fortress city of the Serpent Kingdom was breached by a joint attack from two sides by three apprentice teams under the name of five-star mentor Xiao Zhenqian and the underground tribe."
"This goes against the agreement that the academy reached with the Serpent Kingdom when it first entered this plane fragment . The bottom line was that we could not break through the underground fortress city and the Serpent Kingdom. If we violate this, the previous agreement will become invalid."
Li Qing frowned and asked immediately:
"Is the agreement now invalid? What are the consequences if it is invalid?"
“It’s no longer effective.”
The instructor was silent for a moment, then said:
"The consequence of the failure of this agreement is that the Serpent Kingdom will no longer have any scruples and will attack you."
"If it was in the past, it would be fine. Even if the academy suppressed the snake people's counterattack, it would not pose any threat. But now the academy needs to focus on dealing with the undead lord who has approached, and it is unable to interfere with the situation inside the plane."
"That is to say, you will need to face possible retaliation on your own from now on."
"Of course, you are too far away from the Snake King, so it won't have much impact on you."
“…”
“What an eventful time!”
After hanging up the phone, Li Qing shook his head, but there was no worry on his face.
There is nothing to worry about. As the mentor said, the location where his divine domain is deployed is far away from the Snake Man King, and he is not the biggest threat to the Snake Man Kingdom. The Snake Man Kingdom disregards the agreement and attacks with all its strength. The most threatening ones are not him, but the three apprentices under the name of the five-star mentor Xiao Zhenqian who broke through the war fortress.
Then Li Qing contacted Zhao Dingzhen and asked about the situation there.
Zhao Dingzhen said to him:
"Some of us do have some ideas, but the chief's team is not on the surface right now. We are not strong enough to capture the Serpent King's capital, so we won't make any big moves for the time being."
"Yes, I understand."
"By the way, we have found a place to set up defenses. I will send you the address. Please write it down and pack up and come here as soon as the Divine Domain can be put away."
"OK!"
After hanging up the phone, Li Qing thought for a moment and suddenly chuckled.
Then, everything returned to normal.
Time passed slowly, and before I knew it, more than two months had passed. It was now the fourteenth and a half month, and there was only about half a month left before the expected fifteen months when the Wind of Undead would fully approach the plane and the Lord of the Scourge would invade.
At this time, the wild plane has turned into a world of the dead, and a large number of creatures that had died in the plane are gradually revived under the influence of the wind of the undead.
Especially in those snake-man towns that they captured and the cities that they had massacred, countless undead souls were awakened, and then gathered together to naturally give birth to undead heroic leaders.
They inherited the hatred they once had and attacked those who wielded the knife against them.
In the last half month, Li Qing received news from the divine domain network that the divine domain of more than one unlucky person had been breached by the tide of the undead.
Although most of the apprentices united, some of them unfolded their divine domains too late and have not been able to retract them yet. This was like a bright light in the dark night for the undead, attracting a large number of them to come over.
Although the defense of the divine domain is strong, the guarding troops are too few, and the walls of their divine domain cannot be built to the same specifications as Li Qing, and cannot withstand the tidal attack of tens of thousands of undead who are not afraid of death.
Li Qing's divine domain could not be hidden either, and was also discovered by the nearby undead, but there were no large groups of undead near him.
Although the snake-man towns and cities he conquered were also massacred, he had moved all the corpses away, leaving no basis for the creation of the undead, not even ghosts.
The resurrection of the undead does not appear out of thin air.
From time to time, there would be a small group of undead, and occasionally a large group of thousands of undead, but they were unable to do anything to the Divine Realm Castle with walls as high as 15 meters.
Even if you don't do anything, the undead can't even climb up the city wall.
So even though the plane has turned into a world of the undead, Li Qing's divine realm is still relatively safe.
At this time, Li Qing was no longer in the mood to study. Apart from the routine of making a rock golem every day, he spent the rest of his time communicating with other apprentices and understanding the situation.
By the way, while the wind of chaos has not yet completely collided with the plane and can still communicate with the Black Rock Tower of the academy, Li Qing spent a large sum of money to buy a large number of supplies from his instructor as a backup.
The troop cards are no longer needed. He now has 1,500 infantry and 1,500 archer cards on hand.
Unlock card for 69+50 Tier 5 Imperial Elite Mo Dao Soldiers.
Unlock cards for 26 Tier 5 Imperial Dragonscale Heavy Infantrymen.
42 Tier 5 Imperial Elite Sharpshooter Unlock Cards.
And 20 direct admission places.
Together with the nearly two thousand troops he himself possessed, the total number exceeded five thousand, which was enough.
The main materials purchased are food reserves, various reserve seeds, commonly eaten fruits and seedlings, and a large number of poultry, breeding cattle, breeding sheep, breeding pigs, etc.
The territory is self-sufficient for the time being, but no one knows how long this wave of natural disasters will last, and no one knows whether any accidents will occur, so it is better to be prepared.
In addition, Li Qing completed four waves of transactions with the academy in the past two months, and harvested a total of 800 dragon blood essences.
