Thinking of this, Alexei controlled the mice that followed him and crawled towards the holes in the land. The holes often led underground, and traces were most likely to be found underground.

"I'm busy." Looking at the endless land, Alexei suddenly felt a headache. It was so big, how long would it take him to finish searching?

The search is so boring, and there is no clue.

Another problem is those reclusive monks. What this country has the most is monks who return to the wilderness specifically to hone themselves.

Alexei knew from his inherited memories that there were many people in this country who possessed divine powers, but they usually hid themselves in order to practice.

The world's restlessness is not conducive to spiritual practice, and the church is no longer the best place for spiritual practice. Therefore, most monks will return to nature.

If you want to unlock the seal, you must avoid those practicing monks.

"Huh, I don't know when this will end. I hope everything goes well and there are no uncontrolled changes. I will go home after I gain the authority this time."

After setting a goal for himself, Alexei watched the last mouse that followed him disappear from his sight.

He couldn't just wait here for the mice to finish their search, as that would be a waste of time. However, he could also control the field mice and replenish his troops at any time.

As long as they are rodents, they are under the control of the power of plague. This power is really unreasonable. I don’t know if kangaroos are considered rodents.

Alexei, with his mind wandering, slowly left the place.

………………

At the same time, the corpse king, who was heading to the vampire country, was passing through here.

If you want to get to the land of vampires, there are actually quite a lot of options, you can just cross Lucia and pass through several countries to get to Romania.

But no matter what choice you make, you cannot avoid Ukraine. In other words, if you want to reach Romania as quickly as possible, you must pass through Ukraine.

As we all know, the shortest distance between two points is a line segment.

Since the Corpse King wants to reach the vampire town as quickly as possible, he will naturally choose the shortest distance.

As for the border between Ukraine and Russia, although Volgograd is not on its route, it is not very far away.

What's more, Alexei had been controlling the rats to go out searching since he came to the Volgograd area.

This happened to lead to a problem. Although the Corpse King's perception ability could not cover a large area, it was not completely absent after all.

It was okay in Chita, after all, there was a dark aura all around, and Alexei's rats could cover up the special aura they emitted.

But after leaving Chita and that large area of ​​black air, nothing could conceal the rat's aura.

Although it is not big, like a firefly in the dark night, this little bit of firefly is enough to attract the attention of the Corpse King.

"what?"

The Corpse King, who sometimes flew short distances and sometimes ran long distances, suddenly sensed an extremely subtle black air.

This black energy was not like the zombies he controlled, and the people he knew who were possessed by black energy would never be just this one.

Such a trace of black air is completely useless. Besides, why is there black air in this place? All the black air should be in Chita, right?

The Corpse King, who was confused, gradually stopped his running pace and looked for the source of the black air through the little firefly.

"underground?"

The Corpse King looked at the ground with a strange expression. The black gas underground was still moving quickly. It didn't look like zombies or dead bodies buried deep underground at all.

It's small in size, fast in speed, and out of his control. There's a problem!

The Corpse King's face turned stern, and he raised his right hand high with all his strength.

"boom!!!"

A visible impact spread outward from the Corpse King as the center. The frozen ground in early spring was like a lake with pebbles thrown into it, and tiny ripples made up of mud formed layers of ripples on the ground.

A huge hole was formed under the hammer of the Corpse King. Although it did not lead directly to the ground, it was deep enough.

However, the Corpse King's expression was not very good. In his perception, the thin black gas disappeared, which meant that the animal possessed by the black gas had died.

"How can you be so fragile!"

The Corpse King hammered his head in annoyance. He hadn't even thought about killing the animal that was possessed by the black energy. In his mind, he should have hammered out a lot of holes to force out the small and fast animal.

But I didn't expect that just one aftermath would kill the little animal.

"Forget it, let me look for other ones." After a moment of frustration, the Corpse King cheered up again. This black gas couldn't be an exception. There must be more nearby.

If it is really a special case, then we can only say that he is unlucky.

Chapter 313 Encounter and Battle

Be careful this time!

With this thought in mind, the Corpse King took a deep breath. In fact, he didn't need to breathe, he did this just to calm himself down.

Only by immersing the mind can one's perception become more refined. If the previous perception was a rough cement brick, then the perception now immersed in the mind is a smooth and wear-resistant polished brick.

The perception was like a tide, spreading out from the Corpse King as the origin, sweeping away the fine stones, dust, and dry weeds on the ground.

No!

The Corpse King was shocked. How could there be none? Could it be that the case just now was really an exception?

The corpse king, who didn't believe in evil, stood up and ran in one direction, while his own perception continued.

He still didn't believe it, thinking that the location just now must be bad.

The zombie king's running speed is not very fast, only reaching the average speed of a car, but it is enough for him to run around the area.

Besides, there are no humans around, so in order to move forward quickly and without hindrance, the Corpse King chooses the barren mountains.

Otherwise, the loud noise just now would have attracted people around to come and check it out.

There are not many plants in the frozen soil of the wasteland, which means there are not many animals here, and animals also need food sources.

Without plants, there would be no herbivores, and without herbivores, there would be no carnivores. This wilderness is an unchanging desolate place.

But in this desolate land, a rustling little mouse was looking for the path to an underground cave.

Due to the scarcity of plants and small insects, even creatures like mice rarely survive here, so there are not even small holes dug by mice.

This is a tough situation for the little mouse that wants to go underground. It is difficult to dig a hole in frozen soil, especially since it is a mouse from a big city.

It is so spoiled that it has no way of digging holes by itself.

"Squeaky!!!"

Just as the little mouse was looking for a small cave to enter the ground, a big hand suddenly grabbed it.

The big hand didn't dare to use force, but simply crossed its hands to form a cage to trap the mouse, so the little mouse could roll over and struggle.

If an average person trapped a little mouse in their hands, and could clearly feel it struggling and scratching, they would surely be unable to resist throwing it away.

But the Corpse King is not a human, so he is not afraid. He is just curious and feels the little thing in his hand.

"Is this little thing that possesses a hint of black energy?"

The Corpse King felt the black energy in the mouse's body, which seemed to be of the same origin as his, but also somewhat different. They were both black energy, but their inner essences were completely different, and he could not see the inner essence of the black energy.

The Corpse King wanted to catch the little mouse and study it carefully, but his previous experience told him that this little thing was too fragile and he couldn't use any force on it.

That’s right, this is the sixth mouse caught by the Corpse King. The first five died for various reasons.

They were either killed by the aftermath or accidentally crushed to death by him, which resulted in the Corpse King not daring to make any big moves, for fear that the capture would be in vain again.

If you just do nothing, then what's the point of catching them?

"Forget it, at worst I can catch him again." The Corpse King sighed in his heart, lowered his head and closed his eyes.

However, this time he did not catch the little mouse to carefully observe its body structure. Previous experience told him that these mice were living creatures, and they were not like the zombies he controlled, creatures that died and came back to life.

It’s not that living creatures cannot be infected by the black air, but they are not as harmonious as these little mice.

There was another kind of black energy that was completely invisible. It seemed to have the same origin, but its essence was completely different. This aroused the Corpse King's great interest.

Even vampires didn't seem that important anymore.

After holding the little mouse in his hands, the Corpse King leaked an extremely fine black gas from his palms, trying to invade the little mouse's body and analyze the other black gas in its body.

The black gas was like a soft gauze, gently covering the little mouse's body and then slowly blending into its body.

Slower, slower.

A sense of nervousness suddenly emerged in the Corpse King's heart. This was the first time since his revival. He felt like a scientific researcher doing an experiment, nervous and looking forward to the next result.

Become!

"squeak!!!"

Just as the thought of success emerged in the little mouse's mind, it suddenly squeaked miserably, then kicked its limbs, its body quickly stiffened, and its body temperature dropped to cold.

“Сукаблядь!!!”

The Corpse King who sensed this scene, the nervous anticipation in his heart instantly turned into a classic Lucia curse. It seemed like he was about to succeed, but in the end he died!

Just as he was about to throw the dead mouse in his hand to the ground, the Corpse King steadied his hand.

"calmly……"

This is important observation material and cannot be wasted even if you die.

The Corpse King suppressed his inner emotions, put the little mouse in his pocket, and sensed the mice around him again. He still didn't believe it!

After a while, the corpse king, who had a pocket full of dead mice, suppressed the complex emotions churning in his heart.

Never mind, he will come back here to explore after his strength improves. Now his strength has not recovered yet, so he is not good enough to master the fineness of his power.

The Corpse King decided to give up and was about to leave to look for his previous vampire target when he suddenly stopped.

Then a very faint smile appeared on his face, and the corners of his mouth raised about three angles.

He sensed that there was a bright moon over there. Although it was not bright, it was very conspicuous.

Under the bright moonlight, even the fireflies seem inconspicuous.

"Finally found the source of the fireflies!"

The Corpse King twisted his neck on the spot and shook his arms, causing his waist-length white hair to fall back. The blood-red light in his eyes seemed to become brighter.

"Oh!"

The back foot burst out with accumulated power, and a big hole appeared in the ground instantly. The corpse king flew forward like an arrow, with his hair flying behind him.

On the other side, after converting the only field mouse nearby into his vassal, Alexei had no time to catch his breath when he suddenly heard the sound of breaking wind in front of his left.

Compared to the Corpse King, his perception is not outstanding. After all, he still maintains a half-human, half-corpse physique and has not completely turned into a pure corpse.

After inheriting the plague black energy, Alexi used the plague black energy to replace the black energy left in his body by the zombies, and the part of the corpse that was transformed did not recover.

After fully recovering his human form, his control over the plague's black energy would be greatly reduced, but he did not want to completely transform into a corpse. Therefore, Alexei had to compromise and maintain his half-human, half-corpse state.

Although they are both holders of certain authority, the perception of him as a half-corpse is definitely not as good as that of a complete corpse king.

Alexei had just looked to the left front when the Corpse King flew in front of him.

The moment he saw the humanoid creature Alexi, the corpse king suddenly recalled the humiliation he had experienced when catching a mouse. Then his eyes became even redder, and he clenched his right fist, as if he wanted to put all his resentment into it.

"Oh!"

A gust of wind arose between the two people, sweeping across the desolate plain, breaking the dry and yellow grass in half and causing gravel to fly everywhere.

Alexei instantly realized that he was no match for the Corpse King's brute strength, so he stopped struggling and instead relaxed his body and flew with the momentum, dissipating some of his strength in mid-air.

Then, the moment he fell to the ground, he summoned the rats underground to act as a cushion, which then eliminated the impact force on his whole body layer by layer.

Chapter 314: Epidemic

Um--!

Alexei flew backwards and covered his chest with one hand, groaning. Although he had dissipated most of the force, he could not completely eliminate the impact.

Most of the rats that served as cushions under him had been shaken to death. Although it was not visible from the outside, their internal organs under the skin had already been shattered into a mass of meat paste.

The cold wind blew across the frozen soil of the wilderness, carrying with it dust and grass debris. Two opposing forces were gradually rising in the wilderness.

In terms of authority, the Corpse King and Alexi are actually at the same level, with no difference in superiority or inferiority. But just like twins, they also have their own differences, and it is not uncommon for one to be stronger than the other.

Both are powers differentiated from death. The Corpse King is a consciousness born from the endless mixture of the dead, which is equivalent to an alternative incarnation of the power of the dead. Alexi simply inherited the power of plague, so naturally he is inferior to the Corpse King.

Therefore, in this contest of momentum, Alexei naturally fell into a disadvantage.
