Ch 231: The Mystery of the Undead’s Origin

When Ji Chuan transferred to the Northern Area’s Extremely Cold Land, he couldn’t help but be shocked by the scene before him.

The gray sky was interspersed with scattered ice shards, making the visibility of the entire area very low. The desolation here carried a deathly aura; the empty ice field only had the howling of the cold wind.

From a distance, it looked like black earth in the ice field that hadn’t been covered by snow and ice. Only upon closer inspection did he realize that it was a dense mass of Undead.

They were like they had been paused, standing motionless on the ice field.

Some were already decaying, some seemed to have died recently, some had exposed bones, and some were withered and emaciated.

These Undead, with their various appearances, had been here for an unknown amount of time. Ji Chuan frowned as he circled in the air, not attracting the attention of any of the Undead.

Ji Chuan flew at low altitude. From the beginning, he had noticed a rather strange point. To verify his guess, he observed for a long time.

These Undead were actually all of the Human Race. He didn’t see any other races from a Different World. Why was this so?

Shouldn’t all humans be gathered in Olovia? Was this place a human settlement before? How could humans survive here in the Extremely Cold Land?

Fortunately, they remained stationary. If they migrated to the interior of this world, this world would likely also face the Apocalypse.

But what were they doing here? Was the Undead that appeared in Olovia related to them?

To protect the people of this world, Ji Chuan still decided to deal with these Undead. Although they weren’t moving, they were like a time bomb, and Ji Chuan didn’t want to keep monitoring this place.

The number was too large, stretching as far as the eye could see. Fire erupted in the mass of corpses. The Undead didn’t struggle at all and turned to ashes in the flames.

Even attacking them didn’t attract their hatred. This was very similar to the Zombie King’s Special Ability in his original world, but Ji Chuan still couldn’t feel a connection with them and couldn’t control them.

Ji Chuan flew quickly while releasing incineration. At this speed, eliminating these Undead was merely a matter of time; it wouldn’t take long.

Although Ji Chuan was already feeling tired, he still didn’t stop his actions.

Just as he flew to the upper air to look around and make sure there were no stragglers in the places he had flown over, something surprising happened.

The area that had just been incinerated was once again filled with Undead. The ground still retained the ashes from the previous incineration, yet new Undead were generated again.

Ji Chuan stared intently at the area that had just been incinerated, and he saw a subtle tremor in the ground. Pairs of bluish-gray hands emerged from the otherwise calm ice field.

New Undead were emerging from the ground at a rapid speed. Was this why this area looked like a patch of black earth from afar?

After the Undead emerged, the ice and snow of the ice field had mixed with the mud. These newly appeared Zombies also had various appearances, and it seemed that their time of death was not the same.

Ji Chuan continued to try other ways to deal with these Undead, but new Undead appeared in the same manner.

Would the Zombies appearing in Olovia be in such a inexplicable way? Ji Chuan shook his head. Those were living people who had transformed, and they also had social relationships. They were all original inhabitants.

What secrets did this Extremely Cold Land hold?

Ji Chuan was already feeling drowsy. He had been operating at full power for a long time, but without any results.

He needed to rest. Remembering that Xiao Shuai needed feeding, Ji Chuan returned to the Werewolf Clan’s cave. Xiao Shuai saw Ji Chuan and immediately threw himself into Ji Chuan’s arms.

Xiao La breathed a sigh of relief, because he had already noticed Xiao Shuai drooling at him. If Ji Chuan hadn’t returned, his life would have been in danger.

Ji Chuan extended a finger, “Xiao Shuai, eat. I’m a little tired, I need to sleep for a while.”

Ji Chuan lay down on the Altar, and Xiao Shuai happily held Ji Chuan’s hand and sucked on it.

The world turned white again. In the clean space, Ji Chuan still saw the Gate with the number “1” on it. Ji Chuan had no new clues and didn’t want to use this last chance.

If he couldn’t survive in that Gate, he could only hope to open a new Vortex Gate, travel back to an earlier point in time, and look for clues.

Ji Chuan felt bored in the clean space. This space was very similar to when he had swallowed the Crystal Core and fallen asleep. He still retained his consciousness, but he wasn’t sure what had happened in the outside world.

In his original world, Xiao Hei could create a warm illusionary realm for him to pass the boring time, but the current Xiao Hei couldn’t understand what his home, parents, or ps7 were, and didn’t have the ability to use the Illusionary Realm.

During this rare rest time, Ji Chuan sat down in the white space and began to think.

The Undead in the Extremely Cold Land were like they were spontaneously generated. Was this possible? Through observation of their forms, the newly appeared Undead were not the previous batch.

Were a large number of Undead buried under the Extremely Cold Land? Ji Chuan shook his head. He hadn’t sensed their presence underground. Was something blocking his perception? Or were these Undead coming through some kind of teleportation method?

If he rested well, Ji Chuan planned to return to the Extremely Cold Land to dig up the ground and look for new clues.

He also needed to go to the Elf Forest to see if the Mirror of the Heart was fully charged and to see how Lin Lulu was doing.

After sealing the mine, would Undead still appear in Olovia?

Ji Chuan found that being a Leader wasn’t an easy job. There were many things to worry about every day, and he needed to work hard to find clues and leads.

But as long as his efforts could change the past, everything would be worthwhile.

“Don’t let him hurt you…”

“Pick up your weapons!”

Ji Chuan vaguely felt the noise from the outside world. What happened?

Ji Chuan wanted to leave this space, but it seemed that he hadn’t recovered enough Energy and couldn’t get out of the space.

“Stay away from others!”

“Chieftain, I don’t want to die…”

“Sorry.”

The noise outside seemed to gradually calm down. After an unknown amount of time, Ji Chuan finally woke up.

Xiao La and Xiao Shuai were still guarding him in the room.

“What happened?”

Xiao La’s face was serious, “Master, shortly after you fell asleep, a tribesman turned into an Undead and injured another tribesman.”

“Fortunately, we discovered it in time. We used weapons to execute those two tribesmen, and now everything is fine.”

Ji Chuan frowned. How could the Undead already appear in the Beastmen Territory? He had to quickly investigate the cause.

“Where did that tribesman go and what did he do?”

“Reporting to Master, he was patrolling the territory as usual and didn’t go to any strange places or do anything strange.”

How could this be? Could the Undead in this world be caused by an unknown Virus? Why are there no clues…
