Make the dragon great again

Chapter 168 [Undead Plague] and [Undead Scourge]
The distance from [Behemos Inner Sea] to [Central Forest] is slightly shorter than the distance to [Silver Forest], but it is still thousands of miles away. Without the help of Isana Tower to open the door of space, Adrian would It takes half a day to go all out.

"After I go back, I have to study the secrets of the [Throne], otherwise, in this situation, time will be wasted on the road... As an 'outsider', Isanata can use the [ Void Gate] to open the space channel, it doesn’t make sense that I, as the trumpet of the Proto-Dragon, can’t take advantage of the loopholes in authority!”

Adrian thought to himself, and hoped that Alvarez and the others could hold on—after all, there was only one high-yield tool man, and without Alvarez, the dungeon's operating mechanism would be semi-paralyzed.

"It seems that the operation mechanism of the dungeon system needs to be updated. Now, not only does most of the basic work rely on a lich to operate, but the spawn rate of monsters has also been unable to keep up with the increasing number of monsters. The number of passers-by..."

Although Alvarez was suspected of being exposed to the malice of the legendary lich, Adrian was actually a little more relaxed than before.

In the past three years, because of the oppression that the seal of the land of the ancestors was about to loosen, Adrian focused his energy on the growth of his own strength and the accumulation of [Super Limit Mode] times, even conquering a large number of people on the mainland. All kinds of flying dragons also have the idea of ​​"making power banks";
But now, the crisis in the Land of the Ancestors has ended with an unexpected ending. Adrian's short-term crisis has disappeared, and he even has a new member on his side (maybe two), which weighs on his heart The boulder was finally put down.

The rest is a medium-term goal and a long-term goal.

The medium-term goal is to deal with the reclusive legendary existences on the mainland. Taking the state of the [Tree of Life] as an example, these hidden people may not have a good life, so they don’t feel oppressed by Adrian. high;

The long-term goal is to deal with the unknown situation after the [Continental Barrier] is lifted. Actually, there is not much to say. Before the [Continental Barrier] weakens significantly, the only thing we can do on it is to continuously improve our own strength. Currently, Although the [Continental Barrier] has shown signs of decline, it has not yet reached the stage where it begins to collapse.

Therefore, now that there is no short-term pressure, Adrian can focus more on the dungeon. From another perspective, this is actually preparing for two medium and long-term goals.

On the way to [Central Forest], the help signal from Alvarez and others has not been interrupted, but this is good news, because it at least shows that they have not been dealt with, and the situation is not completely dangerous. out of control.

"Alvarez and the others can last for so long, but they can't even deliver a complete message to me. What's going on?"

Adrian was puzzled, but the answer to this question was revealed by what he saw after he arrived near [Central Forest].

I saw the [Central Forest] located in the south of the [Eastern Corridor], which was shrouded in a gray mist at this time. Outside the mist, the birds and beasts were scattered, and within the mist, life was extinct, and the animals that had no time to escape turned into hideous undead creatures. Wandering aimlessly in the mist.

And most importantly, Adrian felt the shadow of rules and authority from the fog that covered half of the [Central Forest]!

The connection between Adrian and Alvarez is achieved by relying on the soul contract, which is essentially supported by Adrian's own world personality, and can communicate across long distances in normal times;

But at this time, Alvarez and the others fell into the fog with the shadow of rules and powers, and it was no wonder that the connection achieved by the contract did not work.

"It's [Undead Plague]." Skeleton Dragon Yelans said.

"Undead plague?"

Adrian looked at Skeleton Dragon, waiting for his explanation.

“[Undead Plague] is an advanced step of [Death Hell]. It is a new talent possessed by the Lich after reaching legend. In addition to being able to capture and enslave the dead within the same range as [Death Hell], it can also make the The living among them are gradually becoming undead, unlike [Death Prison] which can only be cast around the phylactery, [Undead Plague] is an ability that can be launched from a distance.”

"The innate ability of the legendary lich? It seems that it is indeed the guy you said."

Adrian was a little puzzled. That legendary lich didn't even care about the birth of Adrian, a legendary dragon. Why did he react so violently to Alvarez's actions?

"Is the casting distance of [Undead Plague] so long? According to what you said, the body of the legendary lich is likely to be trapped in the [Extreme Northern Wasteland], but the distance between here and the Extreme Northern Wasteland is also too far away." Bar?"

"[Undead Plague] needs a trigger medium, which can be a war, or a large number of undead sacrifices based on a low-level lich."

Adrian was taken aback, thinking of Alvarez's last report: an unknown Tier [-] lich was preparing an army of undead in the [Central Forest].

"Anyway, let's go and have a look first."

After being promoted to a legend, Adrian's own world personality has risen to the point where he can apply part of the authority of the rules. It is not a problem to fight against the [Undead Plague] whose core is also the authority of the rules, and the host body is not here.

Yelansi originally had an eighth-level personality. After becoming a dracolich, his personality and strength were greatly reduced, but he still maintained a seventh-level personality and sixth-level strength. Naturally, he is not afraid of the [Undead Plague], Isabella It's about the same.

But Fay and Smaug didn't need to go in, and they could stay outside to observe the situation by the way.

Adrian took the lead and flew over the forest shrouded in the mist of [Undead Plague], followed by the curious baby Isabella and the skeleton dragon Yelans.

"The abilities of the undead after the legend are getting more and more exaggerated. I don't know what's left after [Undead Plague]?"

Taking this opportunity, Adrian asked Yelans some questions about the undead, and Yelans had nothing to hide, so he replied:
"Low-level liches of the fourth to fifth ranks, the core talent is [Death Prison], the sixth-rank legendary lich will awaken [Undead Plague], and the seventh-level liches have no further talent awakening, but they can gradually get rid of their fate. bound by the casket, and become a real 'Undead Lich'."

Speaking of this, Yelan paused for a moment, seemed to hesitate, and then continued:

"As for the eighth-level [Lich King], it is said that it has the ability to allow the [death] rule to partially manifest in the material world, that is, [Undead Scourge], but I don't know about it. The second era under the rule of the dragon clan Sirias Continent, where there are no legendary liches, the giant dragons will take the initiative to cleanse the undead on the continent..."

At the end, Yelansi's tone became a little low.

Presumably he once participated in the action of the dragon clan to cleanse the undead, but time has passed, and now he has become an undead himself...

Adrian didn't pick up this topic, looked Yelansi up and down, and said:
"A lich above the seventh level can get rid of the shackles of the phylactery? No wonder I didn't see anything similar to the phylactery being taken away by you when I first saw you."

"The soul is the core of a lich, and the phylactery is just a tool used by a lower-level lich to protect its fragile soul from the erosion of the world itself, and the world personality of every adult dragon is enough to offset this shortcoming , although the status will be lowered and the strength will be damaged because of this, but the dracolich can get rid of the shackles of the phylactery and become an undead lich from the very beginning, and the dracolich is the most perfect undead!"

Looking at Yelans who emphasized the superiority of the dragon race from the standpoint of the undead, Adrian suddenly had a guess about his original plan:
Yelansi probably wants to dig up all the dragon tombs, so that all the dragon remains with residual soul fragments will become dracolich.

Although such a mass-produced dracolich has pitifully low dragon content in its soul, and is just a soul suture in the end, according to Yerance's logic, as long as he can get the [Dragon Root], "pollution" can To mass-produce the demon souls of dragon witches, and let the part of the dragon family continue to enlarge, that is indeed a revival of the dragon family in a certain sense...

Of course, Adrian can also think of the reason why Yelansi gave up the plan in the end:

In addition to the hopelessness of obtaining the [Dragon Origin], it is also because the corpses of the dragons that Yelansi originally planned to find were all gathered in the land of the ancestors, and he also saw with his own eyes that the corpses of the dragons were arranged in some kind of magic circle The corpse of the giant dragon, knowing that there is not a single soul fragment on it...

'The 5000 years of persistence have come to an end without a problem, so they haven't fallen into a mental breakdown. It seems that Yelansi's spirit is still very tenacious, and it's no wonder he can survive for so many years. '

Thinking of this, Adrian felt a little admiration for Yelans.

Soon, Adrian and other dragons finally found the positions of Yelans and Tours.

That was the center where the [Undead Plague] happened. The withered plants were violently pushed to the ground, and a large number of animal carcasses were piled up on them. Among these piled up carcasses, corpses were constantly being pulled and combined under the action of some force. Formed into a new undead creature, it rushed towards the center of a spherical shield made of ice and snow storms.

It can be seen that these animal carcasses were once residents of this forest. They were undead because of the [Undead Plague], and they were the lowest, irrational evil spirits that only existed to devour life.

Yelans, Tours, and the three half-pure blood flying dragons were all inside the spherical ice and snow storm shield with a diameter of tens of meters.

Seeing this scene, Adrian was a little surprised. Neither Alvarez, Tours, nor Flying Dragon had the ability of the frost system, so this would help them resist the [Undead Plague] and the resulting Who wrote the shield of the tide of undead coming?
At this time, the undead on the ground also smelled the strong breath of the living above their heads, and some of the soul fragments floating on the ocean of corpses sewed themselves into a distorted individual, absorbed a large number of corpses, and aggregated into several wings. Stitching monsters rushed towards Adrian and the others.

"This ability is somewhat familiar..."

Adrian held his dragon claw slightly, and the magic power in the air was suddenly compressed under the control of his will, crushing the approaching stitch monsters into the air.

"By the way, the lich who escaped in front of me three years ago...could he be the 'suspicious lich' reported by Alvarez, who was also sacrificed to trigger the [Undead Plague]? Bar?"

Adrian thought so in his heart, but the movements of his hands were not ambiguous at all. While the time limit of [Over Limit Mode] was still there, he opened his mouth and spit out [Blazing Breath].

The bright and near-white azure blue light beam drew a circle on the sea of ​​corpses, melting a large number of corpses in direct contact, and triggering a large-scale chain explosion. A large number of soul fragments were also directly annihilated by countless tiny lightnings all over the air.

Isabella on the side looked amused, so when Adrian paused to breathe out to vent the waste energy in his lungs, he took the vacancy and opened the dragon kiss to blow out his own breath.

If you look in from outside the range of [Undead Plague], you will see this scene:
A bright white beam of light, with a huge figure in midair as the fulcrum, drew a circle to the ground, caused a violent explosion and roar, and disappeared, followed by another dark red beam of light, with another huge figure as the fulcrum It scratched the ground again, and then there was another explosion and roar...

Fay let out an unwilling "owwow" sound from his throat, and there were strands of corrosive gaseous breath seeping out between the sharp teeth, as if saying "I can do it if I fuck".

On Adrian's side, after seeing Isabella's unauthorized actions, he didn't immediately choose to stop it.

Although Adrian in his previous life had no experience in raising children, he had experience as a tutor when he was in college, and he knew that to guide an immature child, simple prohibition is not enough, and a certain amount of encouragement is needed.

So when Isabella finished exhaling and looked at herself with a face full of credit, she said:

"You've done a good job, Isabella. These are restless forces that endanger the interests of our Dragon Clan and need to be eliminated. I will tell you next time there is such a situation and the Dragon Clan needs your strength."

Adrian guided Isabella a little while encouraging, reminding her to listen to her own opinion before taking action next time...

I don't know if it's because the guy who cast [Undead Plague] is thousands of miles away, but the innate ability of this legendary lich poses little threat to Adrian.

At this time, most of the fog-infested forest has been burned by Adrian and Isabella's breath respectively, and only a few pieces of the dense sea of ​​corpses are left, burning. It continues to decompose in the magical environment.

The mist caused by the [Undead Plague] is still spreading outward at an unhurried speed, but the speed has been greatly reduced, but if it is ignored, the previous scene of corpses everywhere may appear again.

"It's really a troublesome ability. If it is not completely eradicated, it will continue to accumulate."

Adrian shook his head, intending to summon [Thunderstorm Cumulus] to clear the screen directly with a wide-area strike.

At this time, the protective shield that had been resisting the impact of the undead before also quickly dissipated, and it was obvious that the people who cast it inside had already reached the end of their strength.

Because of this, Adrian saw the person who displayed this ability-an unknown human female.
