Chapter 47 Defensive Facilities

"Dear Master, why have these skeletons become like this? What are the transparent things wrapped around them?" At this point, Pulson had no choice but to accept his fate and followed Gris into the deepest part of the territory. Along the way, he finally couldn't help asking this question that had been puzzled by him for a long time.

He was a lich, proficient in death alchemy and traveled almost the entire continent of death, but he had never seen anything transparent, soft, and elastic like a skeleton. He had extraordinary insights and could see the advantages of gelatin at a glance. It was like a layer of protection when wrapped around the skeleton. The defense power may not be as good as those zombies with thick skin, but his movements were many times more flexible.

It is this transparent layer that allows the most vulnerable skeletons to compete with zombies at once. If the skeletons in the entire death world are covered with such a layer, with their huge number, there is no place for zombies to gain foothold.

"Gein." Gris answered concisely.

Gelatin? Pulson murmured in his heart, never heard of it.

"Where did you come from?" This is a brand new material. Looking at hundreds of skeletons wrapped in a thick layer, it is obvious that this kind of thing is not rare. I wonder what its characteristics are? Can it be used in alchemy? It is worthy of being a lich, and I suddenly thought of alchemy.

"In the ground." Green alum is dug from the ground, and gelatin can also be regarded as from the ground.

Can such things be dug out from the ground? Although Pulson was full of questions, he saw that Gris had not prepared for details, so he was tactful and did not ask any further questions.

Birds of a feather flock together, and undead creatures in the dead world usually habitually live in accordance with their species, such as the skeleton territory, and it is difficult to see zombies.

However, when he entered the central position of the territory, Pulson saw a bone dragon running to Gris with his fart trembling and arching his body intimately. Susanna was too big and active, so it was difficult to stabilize herself. Such a difficult action of sneak attack was not suitable for him, so Gris left it in the territory.

If the Lich Undead Black Warriors are advanced undead creatures, then the immortal dragon is a super undead creature. Even their souls are different from ordinary undead creatures. They have their own unique name and are called the immortal dragon soul. The immortal dragon is definitely the creature at the top of the food chain in the death world.

The immortal dragon is just a general term. They are also subdivided into bone dragons, corpse dragons and spirit dragons, which correspond to three original undead creatures, skeletons, zombies and undeads. Ordinary skeletons are not intelligent, but the weakest bone dragon corpse dragons also have intelligence equivalent to human level. Even Susanna, a bone dragon that is directly nurtured in the dragon egg, has the strength of the dragon souls that is no longer weaker than the lord-level skeletons. Those truly immortal dragons born from the souls of adult dragons are unimaginable.

So Susanna's appearance directly shocked Pulson again. Unexpectedly, this ordinary small territory was actually hidden and creeping tigers, not only with monsters like Gris, but also with a bone dragon.

He, a wandering lich, bullies those skeleton zombies with a bone-breaking stick. If he really encounters a bone dragon, even a small bone dragon like Susanna has no chance of winning.

"This...this..." Pulson pointed at the little bone dragon, not knowing what to say. It seems that he lost really well. Even if he didn't attack, it would be too easy for a bone dragon, Garris, with magic armor and hundreds of skeletons, to deal with him. Why was he so unlucky to come here at this time?

After saying "this", Gris thought he was asking Susanna's name and turned around and said, "This is Susanna."

After staying in the territory for so many days, I saw all the bones. Now I saw a new type of other people. The little bone dragon also looked at Pulson curiously.

Lichs are actually wise corpse witches, also known as zombies. In addition to their bones, their bodies also have withered and rotten flesh, like mummies. According to human aesthetics, corpse witches are ugly than skeletons.

The withered flesh of the corpse witch is not as decay as a mummy. Under the invasion of the breath of death, it is harder than dry cowhide. Therefore, zombies without wisdom also have levels such as copper-skinned zombies and iron-skinned zombies, which are divided by the hardness of the flesh.

As for lichs, they are wise corpse witches. The strength of ** is no less important and they can use more powerful magic. Undead creatures do not have blood vessels, blood, meridians, etc. Except for the black warriors, other species cannot use the power of Dou Qi, so magic has become their only choice.

Pulton is a natural lich. He has complete wisdom at the moment of awakening. He has never experienced the stage of zombies. He has preserved it very well, but it lacks moisture and loses elasticity.

He bent down with great grace, and Pulton bowed and said, "Say hello to Master Gris's most loyal servant Pulson."

Susanna only understood the word Gris in the whole paragraph, but that was enough. After knowing that it belonged to Gris, the little bone dragon looked at him a few times and ignored him. The little bone dragon was not very interested in things that could not be its toy.

The most central location of the territory is a small valley surrounded by two hills. The depth of the valley was the cave where the lords lived, but now it has been occupied by Gris. Hundreds of skeletons are busy in the cave, and baskets of stone and soil are constantly being cleared out.

After transforming all the similarities in the territory, Gris began to transform the territory. He knew the dangers of the world of death and had an unimaginable persistence in safety. When he was a half-body skeleton, he would rather stay in the small cave for twenty generations than run around. In general, Gris was a skeleton that cherished his life very much.

So in order to survive, Gris tried every means to enhance his survivability.

However, the growth of his own strength must be progressive step by step and he cannot be anxious. The more serious problem is that Gris's strength has entered a bottleneck stage. No matter how he meditates and practices, his own magic power cannot grow at all. The stopping magic power means that he cannot use more advanced magic. Even if he has memorized all the magic books in the library, he is still just a first-level magician.

He could not increase his magic power, so he could only think of other ways. The transformation of his fellow people suddenly increased the strength of the entire territory by a large margin, and he also had a certain ability to deal with dangers. However, this is not enough. There are too many powerful existences in the Death World. Necromancers, black warriors, death knights, immortal dragons, and even lichs are not something these modified skeletons can deal with.

When these powerful beings appear in the territory, there is no need to ask whether they can beat them or not. Whether they can escape or not is a question. So Gris is preparing to transform an environment where they can't beat them and can't defend them.

Building a city is too conspicuous. Although there are hundreds of ways to build a city in the books Gris has read, in the death world surrounded by powerful enemies, the more conspicuous things are, the easier it is to cause disaster. So Gris decided to dig a hole in the ground.

I have to give a brief summary that skeletons are the best laborers in nature. After specially transforming the gelatin protective layer, the load-bearing energy of skeletons has increased several times. A skeleton can be taken away by hundreds of kilograms of large stones.

A group of tireless, extremely powerful and hardworking laborers worked day and night, and dug out an authentic tunnel of 200 meters and several kilometers underground.

The other end of the tunnel leads to a hidden place outside the territory. The exit is blocked with boulders and various debris are covered and camouflaged to enable escape in the most dangerous situations.

This is just the work of the first stage. With the escape passage, the second stage will be expanded along both sides of the tunnel and built into an underground fortress that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

As soon as Gris walked into the cave, Pulson saw a corridor about one hundred meters long, constructing a large number of gravel and stones. Aside from watching the fun, while those from the experts looked at the door, Pulson was at least an expert, and could see the magical use of this passage at a glance. The large amount of gravel filled on the ground and the four walls had a function that could absorb and offset magic energy, and was a simple magic barrier. If someone wanted to use magic to attack the cave, this passage could reduce the effect of ten percent of the magic to 50%.

Filled with gravel, the skeletons began to cover the gravel with long stones to cover it up. If anyone is not familiar with the situation, he will probably suffer a loss when he cannot achieve the desired effect. Thinking of the scene when Gris asked the grey bone skeleton to attract his attention in front, but he went around behind and attacked him, Pulson couldn't help but curse in his heart: Insidious.

After passing the straight passage, the horizontal ground suddenly tilted upward at a slope of at least forty-five degrees. The ground was trimmed to a very flat and smooth, and it was naturally easy to walk up in normal times. But if an enemy attacked and someone suppressed the top of the passage, the flat stone slope would become a fatal obstacle.

At the top of the passage is a wide space, with rolling stones with thick waists and a little shorter than the width of the passage, pushing them over and rolling down when needed...

The harsh sound of "Ki...Ki...Ki..." sounded. When I turned around and saw a group of skeletons slinging the rope, hanging a large flat stone slab on the roof. If the enemy rushed into the platform, retreated to the other side and cut off the rope, the stone slab fell down...

In his mind, Pulson felt a sense of creepy after the mechanism was activated. It was too vicious and too sinister. Fortunately, he was defeated before entering the territory. He really wanted to break into the territory and then be led here. He was caught off guard and fell down the stone slab and turned into a meat pie.

I was frightened and was still thinking: Who arranged these sinister mechanisms? Looking at the arrangements along the way, the designer was obviously a master of defensive structure. He knew how to use terrain and materials to lay out the strongest defensive ability in a limited space.

Although this can only guard against some low-level creatures, it is enough. If you have sufficient arrangements and preparations, let alone you fall into the world now, even in the heyday of your previous heyday, there will be only a dead end if you break in without any precaution.

Moreover, it seems that those defense settings have not been built yet, and some areas that seem inconsistent may also be the parts for the installation of defense facilities.

Who designed these mechanisms? Pulson doesn't believe that a skeleton has the wisdom to arrange such a complex defense mechanism. A skeleton who is famous for being stubborn is not such a material at all. Not to mention that Gris can't do it, even the Golden Skeleton King does not have this IQ.
