World-saving Plan: The Only Savior-Chapter 1448 - 334: The Loyalty of the Undead Clan (2)
On a distant terrace, Ziwei crossed her arms as she surveyed the scene before her, a hint of interest on her face.
The "bone skeletons" she referred to were naturally those Frost Giant Dragons.
"It’s just a pity that most Dark Spirits above the Control Level possess more than one power to combat the Yin-negative structure technique. Spirit Breath Sequences above the Third Stage are common. This method of revival might not apply to them..."
She shook her head, a look of deep regret on her face.
Zhang Xiaoman did not notice the captain’s muttering to herself.
He had succeeded in reviving Acatus and received the latter’s loyalty, thus achieving half of his mission.
The other half was naturally accepting Hillna’s group of undead and leading them out of this Wailing Abyss to become his new assistants.
Judging from the current situation, this plan shouldn’t pose much difficulty.
The undead didn’t even wait for him to speak; as soon as he arrived, they each displayed a willingness to submit.
Zhang Xiaoman nodded secretly, saving himself a lot of trouble.
With the revival ceremony concluded, he left the place first and entered the palace prepared for him by Hillna.
In the garden, only the undead remained gathered beside the platform, reluctant to leave for a long time.
They had just witnessed the immense power of the Undead Monarch and the birth of a new high-level undead before them.
For these undead, who had been hungry for hundreds of years and were on the verge of decay, it was more effective than any passionate speech or coercion.
This was their hope for continued existence and their future supreme king.
If loyalty could grant them such power, they were willing to devote themselves to the other party.
"Remember what I told you before; from now on, I am no longer your queen. I remain the former Princess of Full Moon Country, and your new monarch is none other than Ji Xing."
Hillna stepped among them, conveying her orders.
"He promised to protect us. Our tribe’s future and hope lie in his hands. I don’t want anyone defying his will; anyone who jeopardizes our tribe’s future will be personally erased by me!"
Hillna’s face was expressionless, cold as frost, her words filled with threat and power.
It was rare for her to speak at such length, yet every word was firm and strong.
Finally, Hillna cast a glance at the undead below, and before leaving, she bent slightly and bowed to them.
"This is my final request to you as your queen."
...
Inside the palace, Zhang Xiaoman, along with Regina and Ziwei, discussed how to transport this group of undead and where to place them.
The undead disliked warm environments by nature, and conversely, they would thrive better in cold regions.
Unfortunately, during the transformation of Erin Continent, it seemed nobody considered creating a glacier area for environmental diversity.
After leaving the Abyss, unless the Sun Furnace was extinguished, there would be no suitable environment for them on the continent.
After some consideration, Zhang Xiaoman decided to bring them onto the spaceship, which would provide additional manpower to help repair it.
After all, the navy-type Grizzly-class ship was severely damaged, requiring a lot of people to perform repair work, even if Zhang Xiaoman had a way to fix it. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺
It wouldn’t be feasible for Zhang Xiaoman and Hillna to handle all the hard labor, such as moving bricks, dismantling, transporting, etc., as it would significantly delay the repair progress.
After all, these undead were not living beings. They could survive even on the vacuum surface of this planet without protection.
Even though the daytime temperature reached over a hundred degrees, the undead could stay on the ship, where some part of the temperature control system was still operational.
They could come out at night to help dismantle the ship, as the low night temperatures reaching minus one hundred sixty degrees were suitable for their activities.
As for the transportation issue, it was much easier to handle.
With the presence of the three Frost Giant Dragons, these three hundred undead could be easily transported to the planet’s surface together.
Anyway, the living beings in this world weren’t fond of this group of undead, so it was better for them not to meet.
Once the spaceship was repaired, these undead would be ready-made crew, perfectly suited to accompany Zhang Xiaoman to the Dark Spirit Star Domain Alliance.
"Ji Xing, there’s something you might need to know."
Ziwei leaned against a windowsill, casually fiddling with a greenish ore in her hand.
She briefly explained the usage and assistance of the Soul Absorption Ore in the spaceship’s repair to Zhang Xiaoman.
Realizing the indispensability of this ore, Zhang Xiaoman regarded it with great importance.
"Ghost Ore is distributed in the Abyss, but the materials nearby have been mostly used for construction in the past few hundred years. If you need it, we could dismantle these palaces."
Hillna said.
Ziwei shook her head and disagreed:
"No, those stones have lost their original spirituality due to your processing and modification. I need new ores, preferably those directly mined from the vein, to ensure the highest quality of stones."
Hillna frowned slightly.
"What’s wrong?"
Zhang Xiaoman looked at her.
"Is there something concerning you?"
Hillna’s gaze returned to calm, speaking in a tone as calm as still water:
"Master, I do know of a source of Ghost Ore, but it requires us to delve deeper into the Abyss, where a large number of Abyss Demons are gathered, which has caused us significant losses in the past."
"Oh? Abyss Demons?"
Zhang Xiaoman raised an eyebrow.
He initially intended to lead the undead clan out of here and didn’t pay much attention to these Abyss Demons.
Had Hillna not mentioned them, he might have forgotten about these creatures.
"Yes, they’re an evil race born in the Abyss. Though not individually powerful, their numbers are overwhelming and troublesome to deal with."
Though the Undead Princess spoke calmly, Zhang Xiaoman had gradually understood her temperament.
Anything that made her frown was undoubtedly more than mere trouble.
"I see, tell me about them in detail."
Subsequently, Hillna shared what she knew about the Abyss Demons.
Unfortunately, the undead had no habit of capturing these demons as prisoners; otherwise, they could have presented one for observation.
After a while, through Hillna’s explanation, Zhang Xiaoman developed a reasonably good understanding of the Abyss Demons.
In essence, they appeared to be an unintelligent race with a strong penchant for slaughter.
The Abyss Demons were numerous and almost identical in form.
According to Hillna’s account, they resembled a species called Deep Sea Fishman on Erin Continent.
They stood about the height of an average adult, with elongated limbs and sharp claws.
Their heads bore a fish-like, yet non-fish appearance, mouths filled with sharp teeth, capable of biting through even their sturdiest armor.
"What about their numbers? Approximately how many are there?"
"Perhaps a hundred thousand, or maybe a million, I don’t know. The Abyss is full of uncertainties, and those creatures hide in the darkness, undetectable even by us."
Zhang Xiaoman rubbed his chin, pondering his next move.
"In that case, I shall see firsthand what they’re capable of."
