Army of the Undead in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 42 Remnant Peak
According to the revived memory, the soul calling tower was originally a thing from another world, made of steel, and the power of the undead was infused in it, so that it could continuously absorb free soul power to the surroundings for storage and transformation.And most of this summoning tower was built after becoming a master of the undead, and it was used to extract energy to support the army of undead.

However, all undead creatures, although they are immortal and painless, they can only survive by the energy provided by the soul fire.Once the energy of the soul fire is exhausted, the undead will also die.There are mostly two ways to keep the soul fire immortal: one is to devour the essence, blood, body and soul of the living, and convert it into energy absorption, which is also the basis for the existence of most low-level undead; the other is to absorb and transform with external power, Therefore, it is directly transformed into soul power and distributed to them directly, such as the Soul Summoning Tower, the Soul Gathering Hall, etc.This method requires the assistance of external forces, and is often used only when the subordinates of a necromancer form a certain climate, or even use the castle as a unit.Of course, all of this is based on the human world. If it were in the boundless and dark world of the undead, it would not take so much effort.After all, there, the power of the undead can be seen everywhere and can be absorbed at any time.

In front of Liu Bian, a layer of pitch-black cold iron floated on some ice shards, intermittently, sometimes disappearing, which was transformed by the spiritual power of the Ice Throne for thousands of years. The collision also emerged from under the abyss, scattered around.

All the moving parts of the undead soldiers had already staggered over the solid ice stones and arrived behind Liu Bian.As a result, more than a dozen corpses dressed in simple clothes on the ground came into Liu Bian's eyes.These corpses are the ancients who existed on the Ice Throne, those skilled craftsmen.Originally there were nearly a hundred people, but after the landslide and the earth cracked, the rest had already been buried under the snow peak.

Liu Bian's heart moved, and a little soul fire popped out.

The corpses of these people are well preserved, and there are craftsmen in front of them. If they can summon "resurrection" with soul fire, do they have preserved their skills in life?
As the soul fire submerged, a dark red light flashed in the man's eyes, his eyes slowly opened, and then he struggled and twisted to stand up.

He didn't know how many years he had stood on the Frozen Throne, and his muscles, bones and blood vessels had been frozen so stiff. At this moment, when he twisted, there was an unpleasant "cracking" sound of grinding his teeth, as if his hands and feet were about to be crushed. It's like twisting and breaking.

Although the kneeling Zhang Jiao knew that Liu Bian's subordinates were corpses, it was the first time he had seen such a living resurrection, and he was trembling all over.

"Zhang Jiao, get up and walk with me." Liu Bianming said.

As the two walked, Liu Bian searched for those craftsmen whose corpses were intact, and resurrected them with soul fire.After a while, all those people stood behind him, including those undead warriors who survived the catastrophe, there were still more than 200 people at this time.What is commendable is that the one-eyed undead is still alive. Seeing Liu Bian at this time, he immediately pushed away all the undead and came to his side.After the catastrophe, he still hasn't forgotten his duty to protect his master.Among the undead warriors, only this one-eyed man had a little bit of intelligence.

The brain of the undead body stopped working after death, and the memory of the previous life was naturally lost.Except for some instinctive reactions of the body, and the resurrection of an extremely powerful soul just before death, which may retain some memory, the general undead will only obey orders after being resurrected, which is another characteristic of undead creatures: Both their weakness and their strength.

Although the mountain peak has collapsed, there is still half of it leaning against the edge of the Xuefeng cliff, extending out like a branch of a big tree, pointing obliquely to the sky.

Liu Bian and Zhang Jiao came to the bottom of the remnant peak and looked up, only to see that the top of the half of the mountain was vaguely surrounded by clouds and mist, so they couldn't see clearly.The mist gathers and condenses into rain and dew, forming a trickle that flows along the cracks in the rocks.I think this is the origin of the creek in the cave, but unfortunately the mountain peak was destroyed, and the flow of the creek was only a quarter of the original, and even the green trees and vines on the mountain peak were all broken. , slanted to the side, only a little bit intact.Fortunately, the Frozen Throne is still there, and the spring-like climate is still shrouded here. I think it will be green again soon.

But those birds and beasts, hares and birds have completely disappeared.In fact, this mountain peak is located at the peak of Qianren Daxue Mountain, and the altitude is unknown. How can ordinary birds and beasts fly over this snow peak and come here to make their homes?These birds and beasts were originally left by those who came to dig the Frozen Throne thousands of years ago (the ancestors of the Ko people). Among them were cooks, blacksmiths, bricklayers and even flower farmers.The birds, hares, and seeds of some flowers that were brought back at the beginning were left in this place where the climate is warm and suitable for growth, and they naturally grew.

The sound of "buzzing" sounded, and some bees and butterflies survived the mutation, and they were flying around those broken branches and leaves.

"You people may not be able to go down the mountain in this life. Do you think you can survive in this mess?" Liu Bian turned to Zhang Jiao and asked.Now these people, blocked by the strong wind on the mountainside, can't go down the mountain at all, and there is such an Ice Throne on this mountain.In the dark, Liu Bian felt that this throne had already formed some kind of connection with him, and even, it could be of great use in the future.Moreover, since the ancient man was able to know the value of the Frozen Throne, there was no guarantee that other people would not know it. He would not want to see this throne fall into the hands of others.

Among his subordinates, the most loyal ones are only undead soldiers.Naturally, undead soldiers are also the best candidates to guard the Frozen Throne.The only pity is that these soldiers can only have a short lifespan of one month and cannot live forever.That's why Liu Bian wanted to use the hands of these surviving humans to build the Tower of Soul Evocation.Once the Soul Calling Tower is built, as long as the number of undead is not large, it can still be maintained.

"Of course." Seeing Liu Bian's question, Zhang Jiao nodded immediately: "Those green vines are still there, and there are still a lot of red fruits left in them, and the vines are the most resilient when they are hidden in the soil. With such a climate, soon It will be reissued, and now you only need to save some food, and when the fruit regenerates, you will have no worries. It’s just that there are no birds and beasts, so you will never get meat again, and you can only be a vegetarian for life.” Zhang Jiao smiled wryly: “I It doesn't matter if you are old, most of those who survived are young and strong, and I don't know if they will suffer so much?"

The implication is obviously that it can survive.

There is a saying: It is better to live than to die.
