Chapter 42: Chapter 42: The Origin of the Red Wind Plain and the Undead
"How is it? Has he confessed?" Qin Muye came to the prison and asked the interrogating Xieyu at the entrance.
Though it's called a prison, it really consists of just a few small individual cells. But ever since the Spider Walk Hero Cloth was captured, he has been absolutely unable to escape. This jail not only inherently possesses the effects of Magic Ban and weakness, but unless someone opens it from the outside, there's no way out.
"He said quite a bit, master. Our situation is not optimistic," Xieyu's tone was grave, and then he began to elaborate on the history and current situation of the area they were in to Qin Muye.
Qin Muye's territory was located in the Red Wind Plain, an area that was once under the control of the Silver Star Alliance, a group formed by mages. It was affected to some extent by the Beastman rebellion, but that wasn't the main point.
The crux was that this place was the origin of the Beastman, the region where slavery of the Alien Clan was most prevalent.
All sorts of inhumane experiments emerged continuously, until finally the gods of the Alien Clan joined forces to strike against the Mage Alliance, turning this area into a chaotic mix of Divine Power and Magic Power. It was rare for anyone to pass through here.
At irregular times each year, the air would turn red, marking periods when Divine Power and Magic Power chaos would escalate and engulf the entire region in extreme vortices. Moreover, one would never know when this would erupt or how long it would last.
The chaotic intertwining of Magic Power and Divine Power, creating red storms, was naturally due to the fall of a Great Mage and a deity. That's why it was called the Red Wind Plain, though it was originally known as the Fertility Plain.
And naturally, the Silver Star Alliance withdrew from the area as it became uninhabitable, leaving behind a mess.
This mess included, but was not limited to, inaccessibility, undead Beastman, and various kinds of terrible environmental issues, among others.
As for the Beastman, they were a rather awkward species. The gods of the Alien Clan simply did not acknowledge these Beastmen as their kin, so they left after the initial conflict, and the mages didn't think to take these slaves with them, thus leaving them behind.
And as time passed, the Beastmen, lacking sufficient supplies, naturally died off. In the end, a small number became undead and formed their own power.
The battles between gods and mages rendered the region Qin Muye was in barely habitable, with most parts not even suitable for Spirit Monsters, let alone the undead.
Xieyu also found out how Molike got there. They arrived using Teleportation Magic and made deals with the undead Beastman-like Qin Muye's Spirit Monster Manual and the Magic Book he needed were obtained through exchanges with these undead Beastman.
Besides, it wasn't solely because of the undead that they found the Red Wind Plain excessively dangerous. Qin Muye had intercepted them and could exchange through rules without self- determined pricing, which made them discontented. They had originally planned to use Teleportation Magic to leave once again but encountered Qin Muye and then were bound by the rules of "Lord Era."
That is to say, this so-called return was a deception; the other party would definitely not come back.
There were no benefits, only dangers, because even if there were any benefits, the Mage Alliance had already exhausted them-how could any be left for outsiders?
And the Mage Tower where Qin Muye resided was likely affected by these events at the time.
But the original owner had long since fled; otherwise, how could the inside of the Mage Tower be so clean?
After listening to all this, Qin Muye's face turned green. He had been sent to a place cut off from the world.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
No wonder no native inhabitants had come knocking. It was precisely the place where he lived -one careless move could be deadly. Who would willingly come here?
Of course, there was some good news. The undead Beastmen nearby only consisted of one force, considering the place was so small, there wasn't much room for development, but they were all united.
Currently, this Undead Force has a total of four heroes. Qin Muye has killed two and captured
one.
"So, does that mean that tomorrow's final siege is actually about luring and sending off the last hero of the opposition?" Qin Muye couldn't help but feel speechless.
He had come to understand why his resources were so scarce.
The wolves and other non-Undead monsters during the beginner's period were most likely spawned by "Lord Era," and after the beginner's period, all wilderness monsters turned into the Undead Clan, which also indirectly proved this.
Don't think that having only four heroes among these Undead is unusual; natives are not Lords, and it's not that easy to become a hero unit.
Having four is already lucky.
Those Undead Troops were all awakened into Undead by using Undead Magic on the originally dead beastmen, so they did not develop intelligence.
After all, they were just skeletons and Walking Corpses, which are low-level Undead. Unless they can continue to raise their Rank, they simply cannot develop intelligence.
For these skeletons, Walking Corpses, and other low-level Undead, the manifestation of becoming heroes is the development of intelligence.
From Cloth's mouth, Qin Muye also learned the location of this Undead Force's territory, which was within the tomb of an Undead Mage.
The tomb of an Undead Mage is probably equivalent to a Mage Tower. Of course, an Undead Mage can also build a Mage Tower. It is a matter of personal choice, not compulsory. Through continuous expansion, they had nearly turned the tomb into an Underground City. 'How did the incarnation projection of the Wisdom Tree manage to get in there?' Qin Muye was quite puzzled as he thought about the first native he had encountered, who clearly had ulterior motives.
'No need to guess, it must have been aimed at me, after all, I am too obvious.'
The Red Wind Plain is very special, where Divines have died, and it is also considered a place of shame for Elves and various other Alien Clans.
These four Undead heroes originally came from the Elf Clan, so they formed a new Clan with the surname Jasmine. As for why they chose that as a surname, Qin Muye had no idea. He had asked in the forbidden tongue, but they did not say.
'I thought I would be able to relax after surviving the monster siege, but it turns out I'm not relaxed at all. With the imminent disaster of the Red Wind, it's fortunate that I haven't encountered it yet, but if it erupts, won't I be doomed?'
From what he could see, the Red Wind Disaster wouldn't affect him for now, but the problem is that eventually, with the expansion of both Magic Power and Divine Power, it will sooner or later cover the area where he is. This was already concluded from the information provided by
Cloth.
The Red Wind Disaster is eroding the last safe area of the Red Wind Plain.
His territory doesn't have legs, so how can it run?
The only solution is to resolve the Red Wind Disaster. If it wasn't a threat to life, Qin Muye
would be willing to concede, but now it's clear he cannot back down.
'This round has completely turned an external threat into an internal worry...'
What do you think?
