Chapter 215: The Resentment of the Dead
In front of the elven tree.
The reason Mike asked was mostly that he was more concerned about whether she could hatch more elemental elves. This was more important now than questions about the future of the Dragon Castle.
She shook her head to show that she did not feel anything strange.
In fact, even she herself was very surprised by the hatching of Senaria.
That"s right! Right at this moment, Jonia seemed to recall something about Senaria.
"Dragon Master, ever since you subdued that group of flaming red dragons, I only feel that the fire elements around the castle have become much denser!"
Mike said, "you mean that the dense fire elements in the castle have affected your breeding of elves?"
"Yes, it might have something to do with this! We elves usually absorb the magic elements in the air to train!"
"Maybe it"s because I absorbed a large amount of fire elements recently that I have produced a fire elf, Senaria!"
"I know." Mike nodded and agreed with what Jonia said.
"In that case, Jonia, you can go and absorb the water, earth, and even light elements in the air to see if you can breed a new elemental elf!"
"Yes, Dragon Lord!"
Jonia agreed immediately and was filled with antic.i.p.ation.
Once this method was useful, then she would have the initiative to breed elemental elves.
In the future, she could absorb a large amount of a certain element and breed all kinds of elemental elves to strengthen the nature elf tribe and even the Dragon Castle!
...
After a brief chat with Jonia, Mike thought of the red fire dragon that Jonia had just mentioned.
Mike went to the front of the castle again to check on the hatching of the red fire dragon eggs.
At this moment, the Red Lotus Fire Dragon Flosa was leading fifteen red fire dragons to spit fire at the dragon eggs in the center and roast them.
Under the extreme heat, the red fire dragon egg even showed a dazzling white color, as if it would melt at any time!
However, Mike was not worried about this problem. The red fire dragon was a fire-loving race, and the red dragon in the dragon egg had the potential to be the king of the fire dragons.
Moreover, he did not receive any dangerous notifications. Therefore, this level should not be a big deal.
Thinking of this, Mike opened the dragon egg panel.
[Item: Flaming red dragon egg]
[Ambient temperature: 7,800 degrees]
[Incubation time: 23:45:16 seconds!]
"Looks like this dragon egg will be hatched by tomorrow!"
Mike did not disturb Flosa who was busy incubating the dragon egg.
Instead, he chose to leave the Dragon Castle, preparing to relax.
His strength had already reached king-tier. The powerful monsters around the castle had already been cleared out by the dragon battle team.
What was left were only some unimportant low-level monsters. There was no need to worry at all.
...
Time pa.s.sed bit by bit. Soon, it was evening.
Mike returned to the Dragon Castle. The afternoon stroll made him very relaxed. His footsteps were lighter when he returned to the castle.
His body was not stained with any blood at all.
This time, he had actually killed quite a number of small monsters. He had even killed a few special creatures -- the undead!
The level of these monsters was not high. The highest level of these monsters was only elite tier.
With his early-stage king-tier strength, he could easily kill one by one with the Gnome Chieftain"s Sword. It was extremely easy!
After killing monsters in the wild and experiencing his king-tier strength.
He only took away the energy stones that the monsters dropped.
He left the corpses where they were. After all, they were not important.
There were still a lot of corpses waiting for the dragon-blood soldiers to disintegrate in the castle.
Mike could not be bothered to care about these extra corpses. He returned to the castle.
At this moment, Jonia, who was in the ancient elven tree, suddenly flew in front of him. Her eyes moved and she said, "wait, Dragon Lord, you"re infected with the resentment of the undead!"
"Did you encounter any undead creatures on your way out?"
"The resentment of the undead, what is that?"
Mike was suddenly stunned.
Seeing how serious Jonia was, he could not help but feel a little nervous.
He did indeed encounter the undead when he went out. They were like ghosts, ghouls, and zombies.
However, he had already killed all of them! Even the energy stones that dropped were taken by him!
When he killed them, there was no abnormal reaction!
Now, he heard from Jonia that there was some resentment of the undead on his body, and he was a little anxious.
Could it be... it was really brought to him by the few undead that he killed?
Jonia explained, "resentment of the undead is a way for the undead to track their enemies!"
"The number of the undead is huge, and they are extremely vengeful!"
"Therefore, some of the undead will be branded with the aura of the undead. When they are killed, this aura will turn into the vengeful aura before they die, and it will attach to the body of the killer and pa.s.s this message to the rest of the undead!"
"The powerful undead that are branded with the aura will be able to use the vengeful aura of the undead to hunt down and kill the killer for revenge!"
"However, there is one thing that is very strange."
"What?" Mike looked at the puzzled expression on Jonia"s face.
Jonia continued to ask, "Dragon Lord, among the undead that you have killed, is there not a single special undead?"
"No, why do you ask?" Mike shook his head. The system notification that he received after killing the undead were all ordinary undead.
"That"s strange!" Jonia"s fair little hand rested on her chin as she pondered.
"Actually, it"s not an easy thing for one undead to inflict resentment on another!"
"The resentment of the undead consumes a lot of energy on the caster, and it will also weaken the caster"s strength in a short period of time!"
"Therefore, the caster is at least a king-tier undead!"
"The undead that are branded are also very important and special to the lord of the undead!"
At this point, Mike revealed a look of realization. "Now that you mention it, there is indeed an elite-cla.s.s undead that was killed by my sword!"
Jonia frowned and shook her head. "That shouldn"t be it!"
"To be valued by the lord of the undead, an elite-cla.s.s undead is far from enough. At the very least, it has to be a tier 8 commander-in-chief, or a tier 9 lord-level undead! These undead are considered to be the strongest subordinates of a king-tier undead!"
"I"m not sure!" Mike shook his head and walked all the way into the castle.
Seeing this, Jonia flew on the wind and followed closely behind.
She had just arrived under the giant dragon statue.
Roar!!
A faint dragon roar sounded!
"Ahhhhh!"
A white smoke mixed with a shrill scream sounded!
One could see the dragon"s might rising faintly.
A terrifying-looking undead spirit rose from his body, flailing. It looked like it could not resist the dragon"s roar. Then, it struggled in the air and disappeared.
