After mastering the resurrection technique, they begged me to extend their lives.

Chapter 93 Ten Thousand Virgin Corpses - The Land of the Dead

It concerns the preservation of creation.

An Xiao clearly took it very seriously.

I thought "Iron Maiden" was an independent entity.

Who would have thought that after this masterpiece, the great Lapras would embark on another major project, and would most likely complete it successfully.

If that's the case, it means that if I gain control of this secret realm, I will be able to realize my terrifying ambition of "simultaneously storing 10000 virgin corpses".

"Where?"

An Xiao asked quickly.

"The entrance is beneath the Sandra Ruins, but once inside, you will be transported to an unknown realm."

Carol said, "Lord Ghost Ancestor said that to get there, we must unlock the 'Black God Obelisks' that Laprad erected throughout Endedes. In other words, we need to unlock the seals on a total of 15 obelisks to open the teleportation portal beneath the ruins."

"So many?"

"Yes, but during the demon war, almost all the obelisks were destroyed, with fragments scattered everywhere—and one of them is deep within that 'Forbidden Curse Mountain' up ahead."

,

An Xiao felt a little numb.

It felt like Endedes was full of restrictions, somewhat like a task forcibly added by the Earth Compiler to complete the weekly report.

"Alright, then, how do we break the seal?"

"I heard the method for breaking the seal on the Succubus Dungeon is similar."

Carol said, "After all, Laprad's favorite things are 'pure,' so if the visitor is a necromancer and carries a pure soul, touching the obelisk might break the seal."

"I see. What about the sealing stone in the succubus dungeon? Is it also removed in this way?"

No.

Carol said, "The Succubus Queen prefers 'god-level bodies.' Therefore, her seals either require members of her own race with pure bloodlines to enter directly, or they must pass her rigorous selection process for members of the opposite sex. Only those who pass all of these tests are deemed suitable."

'

"By the way, the seal on the Succubus City is lethal, after all, it exists within the Black Rain Great Tomb."

Upon hearing this, An Xiao fell into deep thought.

He has a fairly deep understanding of the terrain of Endedes, based on his explanations using maps.

This map is divided into four regions in total—

The southern part is the sea landing zone, facing the Deep Black Rift Valley and the Black Dragon Maze, bordered by the Soul Rift Bone Forest to the left and the Cursed Forbidden Mountain to the right, so no one can come here to develop.

The north is the resting place of the vampires, with restrictions in the sky and towering black mountains shrouded in mist all around. It has only one entrance and exit, making it no different from a paradise on earth.

The western part is the site of the ancient kingdom of Sandra, and a key area for exploration by the Holy Kingdom of Galatia. You will almost certainly encounter human forces there, and they will be at the national level.

The East is a no-man's-land, the location of the Desolate Soul Street, and adjacent to the Black Rain Great Tomb. It is the richest area in terms of resources and the most suitable place for high-level adventurers to gather.

Now, An Xiao's plan is very clear.

"Prioritize occupying the coastline, intercept all creatures that come to explore after you, and control the landing rights."

"Then continue to upgrade the 'Creation Tier,' resurrect more creations to defend the tower, and build an undead army."

"Afterwards, we'll boost the combat power of our creations, let everyone feast, and strive to take over the airspace as well."

"Next, we will overcome obstacles, enter the old vampire ruins, begin building the main city, plant valuable crops, and search for the legacy."

After completing this entire operation, I will basically be able to establish a foothold in the safest area of ​​Endedes.

Once you reach a level of around 40 or 50, you can officially explore the Black Rain Great Tomb.

Ideally, one should claim all the surrounding land and turn it into their own territory.

Prevent all outsiders from exploring or attempting to break the seal.

"So many years have passed, and the entrance to the dungeon has not been broken open by external forces, which means that the seal is quite strong. But that doesn't mean I can continue to relax and develop slowly."

An Xiao made up her mind.

He made the most of the time and continued to direct the team forward.

.

The day's raid quickly came to an end, and the team, laden with spoils, returned to the watchtower area.

At this moment, the second watchtower has been completed under Hogan's leadership.

It has to be said that, looking at the shape that is exactly the same as Tower No. 1, almost a replica, An Xiao was just short of giving him the title of "Master Builder".

"That's really efficient."

He exclaimed in genuine admiration.

"Brother An Xiao, today I've completed the top layout of Tower No. 2. I've built an observation platform on it and placed the long telescope that Miss brought from her 'precious items bag' on it."

Because of its proximity to the coast, Tower 2 can now observe from the opposite direction at sea to see if any ships are approaching. We now have panoramic reconnaissance capabilities, with a coverage area of ​​10 nautical miles in a fan shape.

"OK."

An Xiao nodded in approval and generously bestowed a special reward—

"These new guards will be under your temporary command."

He then selected four elite swamp guardians and assigned them to the Rockman Hogan.

"They are powerful creations I brought back from the swamp, once royal soldiers of the ancient kingdom of Sandra. Now I am giving you a portion of control over these four, to ensure their complete cooperation in your daily work and to guard Tower 2 every night."

Whether it's building, moving, guarding, or clearing newly formed bone tides, they can be at your disposal. You give the order, and I'll ensure they obey.

"!!"

'

Now.

Hogan's body trembled.

As much as possible, he didn't show any secret satisfaction.

His gaze swept over the four lizardmen standing ramrod straight in front of him.

Looking at the Royal Guard insignia embedded in their chests.

It's quite subtle.

My heart started beating faster for no apparent reason.

[We're all lizardmen—all elite guards—can I also stand above them and command them?]

Having served in Stardust Harbor for many years, my level has remained around LV50, so I have no hope of advancing to the next stage in this lifetime.

It can only serve as a decorative stone, always guarding the entrance.

Exposed to wind and sun, battered by fog and rain, no one knows the hardships they endured.

[And now, Brother An Xiao has actually given me an identity, allowing me to legitimately and legally become the leader of high-ranking undead soldiers under everyone's watchful eyes?]

[The leader of the royal soldiers in the ancient kingdom of Sandra?]

This kindness—this debt of gratitude—is truly…

His skin surface was dotted with tiny gray particles, but they were so fine that he felt An Xiao couldn't see them.

However----

Back when they were on the big ship.

The little fox Xingmi had already secretly told someone everything about him—

"My Uncle Hogan's only dream in this life is to be an official—"

"My father saw that he was pitiful and honest, so he let him come over to protect me every week after get off work and paid him an extra salary."

"But my uncle doesn't seem to realize that he's completely unsuited for fighting—"

"He is a Rockman, and Rockmen should study construction. His talent for construction is also extremely strong. He can knead earth particles like playing with mud, manipulate stone, and cut it into any shape he wants."

"But he felt that he couldn't become an official or a general in construction—so he went astray and wasted many years in a daze while practicing martial arts."

"His decision to go to sea this time was also his own."

"He seems to dislike that predictable, predictable life as a civil servant anymore —"

'

.

This is the judgment An Xiao made about Hogan after learning about his situation: "A person seeking an official position."

"Mr. Hogan, I am amazed by your talent in construction. You were able to complete the entire process of building a complex building from scratch all by yourself, and the blueprints were clear and detailed."

He said seriously, "I believe that with your help, whether it's larger-scale watchtowers, pillboxes, checkpoints, barracks, warehouses, tombs, or even parks, wonders, and scenic spots, we can achieve great things."

"You have the ability to present what I want to me, and that's something no one else can do."

Hogan: "!"

His large eye sockets seemed to freeze his limestone-like pupils.

Under the watchful eyes of the Creators, An Xiao continued her devilish whisper: "Mr. Hogan, if you are willing to cooperate with me long-term, then I can guarantee that in the future, when I am able to lead a team to challenge the monster blocks at the LV50-60 level, I will share with you the Murloc's treasure—the 'Experience Orb'—to provide the boost, allowing you to gain experience even from the background and achieve your advancement dream."

"Besides that, every contribution you make to the team, every new building you construct, I will record indelible marks in the book of merit. And when you finally bring the entire framework of the main city to fruition..."

"On that day, I will do my utmost to ensure that you too can have an elite army no less than the official size of the Aleient Empire."

"

'

0

In an instant.

An invisible wind blew across the land of the deep black rift valley and landed on Hogan Stoneskin's square-cut buzz cut.

At this moment, in his eyes...

An Xiao's words were not advice.

It was a divine oracle.

In a person's life, one toils and toils, and how rare it is to meet a mentor. Hogan knew this all too well.

Now that he was recognized by the Creator and had his own squad under His command, Hogan felt that his life as a lizard was taking off.

He took a deep breath, and under everyone's watchful eyes, clenched his right fist and slammed it against his left chest, vowing to An Xiao: "I, Hogan, am willing to follow the Creator and continue on his journey, assisting the Creator in laying out all the fortifications in Endedes. From this day forward, my life, old Hogan's life, is dedicated to fulfilling the Creator's long-cherished wish."

I will take out all the top-secret blueprints passed down from my ancestors, the Rock Spirits, study and refine them day and night, and help the Creator complete the construction of the future main city in the most perfect way.

"Even if you want to establish a country here" 7

"I, old Hogan, will take over this entire task before I die of old age or from a sudden death!"

"Hogan will build 'Endedes: The Land of the Dead' for you, hammer by hammer."
