Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 1005
Chapter 1005 – Dissolving the Contract
Green looked at the actions made by Lizzy and Megan, but he didn’t say anything. Although he was also worried for Zhao Hai, he can see that Zhao Hai wasn’t in grave danger right now. Moreover, Green could see that Lizzy and Megan’s commanding skills were very good. He knew that there was no need to worry, he felt relief as he thought of this.
Laura and the others didn’t say anything as well, they knew Lizzy and Megan were as worried as them. At this point, they looked at the Undead with pity as they were killed and turned into fiery souls.
Seeing that Addison’s men were getting fewer and fewer, Laura let out a sigh and said, “We’re almost done. Megan, you go direct the Undead to kill Addison’s remaining men. Lizzy, take the other Undead and head towards where Brother Hai is. Grandpa Green, what do we do next?”
Green looked at Laura and then smiled, “There’s no need to do anything else. Just have the Undead be in a battle formation as they go towards the Young Master. Have their spiritual force help Young Master’s momentum and put pressure on Addison.”
Laura nodded. Then she turned to look at Lizzy who nodded back. Lizzy immediately knew what to do as she took some undead and went according to Grandpa Green’s words. She called Guli and Jiang Zheng and had them lead the Undead to support Zhao Hai.
Zhao Hai and Addison were still in a confrontation. Then at this time, Guli and Jiang Zheng lead a group of Undead and appeared behind Zhao Hai. The undead were in a cube formation. With about a hundred million undead, the cube blotted out the sky, giving great pressure to the surroundings.
Due to his senses, Zhao Hai was able to know that his Undead were coming. His aura couldn’t help but get stronger, it seems like it exponentially increased.
Since Zhao Hai and Addison were locked on to each other, Addison was naturally able to sense Zhao Hai’s increase in momentum. In the beginning, he didn’t understand why Zhao Hai’s aura became stronger. Then at this time, he finally saw Guli and Jiang Zheng’s group appearing behind Zhao Hai.
Upon seeing Guli and Jiang Zheng, Addison’s expression couldn’t help but change. His mind became shaken for a little moment. Using his spiritual force, Zhao Hai was able to discover Addison’s disturbance. Zhao Hai’s eyes turned fierce as his mind shouted ‘Kill’. Then he waved his sword and charged towards Addison.
Addison’s expression was incomparably ugly. He knew that he had lost, but he didn’t know if he would be able to escape under Zhao Hai’s assault.
Addison knew that he couldn’t retreat at this time. If he did, then his momentum would be weaker. And under Zhao Hai’s spiritual force, he would be heavily attacked. Who knows if he could be killed this time.
Zhao Hai didn’t actually think about a lot of things right now. His aura strengthened as he waved his curved sword and attacked Addison. This time, Addison was on his back foot. He can only parry, he didn’t have any opportunity to attack.
Zhao Hai’s curved sword danced faster and more vigorously, making Addison complain inside time and time again. He was clear that he was more unfortunate than lucky. Addison was also clear that he still had one move to use, but he preferred to not use it.
While Zhao Hai was going full on attack, he found that Addison’s sword wasn’t panicked nor chaotic. Addison defended quite well, making Zhao Hai unable to easily deal with him.
Zhao Hai was a learned man. Inside his head he immediately understood that Addison must have means to save his life, so he wasn’t panicking. Zhao Hai couldn’t help but pay more attention to Addison.
Addison didn’t know that his move was already discovered by Zhao Hai. He still resisted Zhao Hai’s attacks. The fighting between the two were very fast. Guli and Jiang Zheng could only see the whirlwinds of attacks, they couldn’t see anything else at all.
At this time, Zhao Hai’s eyes suddenly flashed. His sword changed, it wasn’t a quick slash, but instead it was slow. It felt like this sword strike was hiding myriad changes inside it.
When Addison saw this sword, his expression couldn’t help but greatly change. This was because he discovered that although Zhao Hai’s slash was very slow, it was hiding something inside it, blocking all of his escape routes. The only thing Addison could do was to wield his sword and block it.
When he thought about this, Addison’s eyes flashed a grim light. As Zhao Hai’s move approached, Addison’s cross sword fiercely slashed up and met with Zhao Hai’s curved sword.
However, Addison failed to see the sly glint on Zhao Hai’s eyes as he was concentrated on Zhao Hai’s sword. But when his own sword hit Zhao Hai’s, Zhao Hai’s sword suddenly broke apart. There wasn’t any resistance as the two weapons clashed. The feeling of using the wrong amount strength made Addison almost tumble forward.
But things haven’t ended. As Addison was startled, the originally curved sword became a whip. At the head of the new weapon was a small hammer. Addison’s sword block made the whip lash in, the small hammer on the tip going in to hit the Addison’s back.
Bang! Addison felt his body shake. He couldn’t stop himself from vomiting blood.
Then this time, Zhao Hai’s whip changed its shape into a tiger-tail whip. The whip went on to continually attack Addison. Upon seeing this offensive, a trace of panic finally appeared on Addison’s face. However, it was quickly replaced by fierceness. He looked at Zhao Hai with a vicious gaze and said, “Zhao Hai, I will repay today’s enmity a hundred times over. Blood Flash!” After he said that, an immeasurable amount of blood came out of his body, eventually turning into a giant rotating ball of blood. The rotation got faster and faster and at the same time, the ball became smaller and smaller. Naturally, Zhao Hai wouldn’t wait and whipped the ball of blood. However, that ball of blood was like a ball of water, Zhao Hai couldn’t do anything to it. His attacks was akin to slashing a stream of water in order to stop its flow, it didn’t have any effect.
In front of Zhao Hai’s eyes, the ball of blood became smaller and smaller before it popped in and disappeared.
At this time, Guli and Jiang Zheng arrived at Zhao Hai’s side. Then Guli said, “Young Master, this is a unique technique of the Vampire Race, Blood Flash. Only Vampire Marquis or higher ranked beings can perform this. It allows them to jump a thousand li(500km), and it gets farther the stronger one is. However, a Blood Flash would have tremendous impact to their bodies. I don’t know how far Addison jumped, but recuperating within 8-10 years would be impossible for him.”
Jiang Zheng nodded and said, “It’s a pity he escaped.”
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, “Don’t worry about it, he won’t be able to run for long. You take care of things here while I pursue him. Remember to send the remaining Undead to the Space, we shouldn’t waste any manpower.” The two complied as Zhao Hai just smiled. In fact, Zhao Hai didn’t say this to the two, but to Lizzy and Megan instead.
On a Bone Mountain a hundred thousand li(50,000 km) east of Three Saint City, a giant ball of blood suddenly appeared. Then the ball of blood transformed and slowly turned into a person. This person was none other than Addison who just waged a war against Zhao Hai.
This Bone Mountain was also a unique type of structure in the Underworld. Just like its name, bone mountains were huge piles of bones. Nobody knew how these Bone Mountains came to be. Bone Mountains can both be large and small, with some stretching for hundreds of thousands of li. This Bone Mountain was a small one, it can even be called a Bone Hill.
This was generally the birthplace for skeletons. Both strong and weak Skeletons came out from Bone Mountains. However, there weren’t any strong skeletons seen in these Bone Mountains. Once these Skeletons were born, they would immediately leave the vicinity. Only recently born Grey Skeletons could be seen in the area.
Addison chose to appear in this place. Since there weren’t any strong Skeletons in this area, Addison wouldn’t be threatened even if he was seriously injured.
Addison’s current state was very bad. His face was very blue and there was a line of blood coming out of his mouth. He was humiliated but his expression was extremely fierce. When his figure appeared, he vomited blood before he grumbled, “Zhao Hai, wait for me. When I recover, I will make you suffer a hundred times more than I did today.”
Then suddenly, a temperate voice was heard, “Why would I need to wait. I’m already here.”
The voice was very light. But in Addison’s ears, it was as loud as a thunderclap. Addison was too familiar with this voice, he used Blood Flash in order to escape from the owner of this voice.
Addison’s spiritual force swept towards the direction of the voice, to which he found Zhao Hai standing there. Addison’s face couldn’t help but turn grey. If he wasn’t injured, then he would’ve used Blood Flash straight away. But unfortunately, he was seriously injured. If he used Blood Flash once more, then his strength would be permanently damaged, he might even descend one rank. This wasn’t something that Addison wanted to see. So he stopped himself from escaping as he turned to Zhao Hai and said, “How did you get here? In this world, nobody can catch up to my Blood Flash”
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, “If you become my subordinate, then I will naturally tell you.”
Addison continued to look at Zhao Hai, but various thoughts were quickly running in his head. He couldn’t accept that Zhao Hai was his match. Earlier on, because of Guli and Jiang Zheng, Zhao Hai was able to crush him using his aura. Because of this, Addison lost. If there was no external help, then the fight would at most end in a draw. Pledging loyalty to Zhao Hai wasn’t something he was willing to do.
However, Addison was seriously injured and he could only use 20%-30% of his strength. If he fights Zhao Hai in his current state, then he would only be courting death. Moreover, he couldn’t escape. In this case, pledging allegiance to Zhao Hai was his only choice, he was unwilling to become food for others.
Also, after pledging loyalty to Zhao Hai, when he recovers, he can deal with Zhao Hai then. When the time comes, and Zhao Hai had his guard down, he was confident in making a successful sneak attack. After he eliminates Zhao Hai, he would then proceed to consume Zhao Hai’s fiery soul.
When he thought about this, Addison bowed to Zhao Hai and said, “Addison is willing to pledge allegiance to Mister.”
Zhao Hai looked at Addison and a light couldn’t help but flash on his eyes. He knows that Addison wasn’t having any good thoughts. However, Zhao Hai didn’t expose him, he knew that whatever Addison’s plan was, he would never expect something like the Space. As long as Addison enters the Space, then even if he had a great plan, it would still be deemed useless.
Zhao Hai pretended to be happy as he said, “Good, since you’ve pledged your loyalty, then you’re now a person on my side. Since that’s the case, then let me tell you.I have a Space Divergent Ability. Because of this, I can make quick pursuits. Alright, let’s go back to Three Saint City, I’ll help you treat your wounds.
When Addison heard Zhao Hai, his heart couldn’t help but turn cold. He didn’t expect Zhao Hai to have a spatial ability. Since this is the case, then he would need to choose a good time to attack Zhao Hai in the future. Otherwise, Zhao Hai would be able to teleport away. Even if Addison wants to chase, he wouldn’t be able to.
On the surface, Addison kept being respectful, “Alright, then I would have to trouble Mister.”
Addison couldn’t understand why Zhao Hai haven’t signed a contract with him. But even if Zhao Hai did, Addison wasn’t afraid. In the past, Addison was able to learn a secret technique. This technique was able to slowly void a contract without alerting the other party. Because he had this guarantee, Addison was able to agree to pledging allegiance to Zhao Hai.
This method of dissolving contracts was created by a Lich. This Lich was quite special, he was even probably older than Kampala. This Lich wasn’t interested in getting stronger, opting to do research instead. But since this LIch had lived for too long, his strength became very formidable. Additionally, with his numerous research, he was able to make all kinds of magic. In the end, his strength was something that surprised even Addison.
Also, that Lich didn’t like to fight against people. And since some of his experiments needed some test subjects, he let Addison help him procure them. In turn, he promised that as long as Addison helps him, he would teach Addison a secret technique. Since that Lich was stronger than Addison, he could only comply. However, Addison didn’t expect the Lich to teach him a method to dissolve contracts. At that time, Addison was still weak, around Vampire Marquis level. Afterwards, Addison was contracted to a strong Vampire. During that time, Addison remembered the secret technique. With a mentality of refusing to abandon hope, Addison tried it out. Who would’ve thought that it was actually a success. After that, he found an opportunity to mount a sneak attack, killing that formidable Vampire. Because he had absorbed that Vampire’s energy, Addison was able to attain his current strength. Now, Addison wants to use the same method to deal with Zhao Hai.
Chapter 1006 – About the Underworld
Zhao Hai was aware that Addison has his own thoughts. But since Addison wanted him to believe, then he would act that he believed. This way, Addison would put his guard down, finally ending up being cheated by Zhao Hai to enter the Space.
With their current strength disparity, Zhao Hai was completely able to throw Addison towards the Space. However, he was afraid that Addison might rebel at the last moment and blow himself up. If this happened, then Zhao Hai would lose a powerful subordinate. Because of this, Zhao Hai went through all these things in order to deceive Addison to enter the Space.
Zhao Hai looked at Addison and said, “Alright. Addison, stay by my side. I’ll take you to Three Saint City. Since you are injured, I will not sign a contract at the moment. We’ll have you recover first. We’ll sign the contract when you’re healed.”
Zhao Hai knew that if he kept silent about the contract, then Addison might begin to have some suspicions. He chose his words carefully so that Addison wouldn’t think about it.
Sure enough, after hearing Zhao Hai, the little bit of anxiety from Addison was cleared. He nodded before he went to Zhao Hai’s side. He looked very obedient.
Zhao Hai looked at Addison and smiled. Then he waved his hand as he brought Addison to the Space. After the Vampire King entered, the Space immediately issued a prompt, “Vampire discovered. Disloyalty has been detected, subduing, successfully subdued. Vampire is seriously injured. Does the Host want to treat him? Treatment would cost 1 million gold coins.”
Zhao Hai discovered that the Space had slowly gained a humanistic nature. In the past, the Space would just call skeletons robots, but now it could directly identify them as skeletons. Now, it was able to acknowledge the presence of a Vampire. It was clear that the Space was evolving.
Zhao Hai gave his agreement, “Immediately issue the treatment.”
The Space issued another prompt, “Administering treatment!’ After that, Zhao Hai’s gold became 1 million less. On the other hand, a film of blood wrapped around Addison and entered his body. It didn’t take long before Addison’s imposing aura recovered to what Zhao Hai felt before.
Addison quickly bowed to Zhai Hai and said, “Thank you, Young Master.”
Zhao Hai nodded, then he said, “Good. You go cultivate for now. I’ll find you later.” Addison complied as he was sent by Zhao Hai to the Hell Space.
At this time, Laura and the others walked out of the villa. Zhao Hai could also see Green and Merine among them.
Zhao Hai couldn’t help but stare, then he immediately gave Green his greetings, “Grandpa Green, Grandma Merine, why are you here? Did something happen?”
Green smiled and said, “Young Master, Laura and the others came to look for me. They didn’t know what to do when you fought Addison, so they went to ask for my advice.”
Laura added, “That’s right. Brother Hai, it’s thanks to Grandpa Green. He advised us to quickly deal with the Undead attacking Three Saint City and then support you.”
Zhao Hai smiled and said, “If we could say anything about the old treasures of the Buda Clan, then Grandpa Green’s experience is certainly one of them. This time, our harvest is really good. I didn’t expect Addison to be this strong. But with this experience, if I meet another expert like Addison, I would surely be able to deal with them. Today’s event is really good. It’s lucky that you were able to release that skeleton. Otherwise, me and Addison would be in grave danger.”
Laura smiled and said, “You must thank Cai’er well. It was Cai’er who discovered that things weren’t doing well. Because of this, we released a skeleton to break your entanglement.”
Zhao Hai turned his head to Cai’er and faintly smiled, “Cai’er, thank you!’
Cai’er’s small face turned red as she replied, “Young Master is too polite. This is something that Cai’er should be doing.”
Zhao Hai smiled and didn’t give any more response. He turned to the others and said, “Alright, we shouldn’t be standing here outside. Let’s go in.” After that, the group proceeded to enter the villa.
After having sat down, Zhao Hai turned his head to Green and the others and said, “Since Grandpa Green is here, then we should discuss what to do next.”
Laura thought about it and said, “Brother Hai, the Underworld is very important for us. As long as we control this place, then this means that we would have an inexhaustible resource of manpower. I think we should fight here. Our next step would be taking control of the Resistance Army.”
Laura had already explained the Underworld’s matter to Green and Merine. Because of this, the two Elders already had a gist of the happenings in the plane.
Upon hearing Laura, Green nodded and said, “What Laura said is correct. The Underworld is important to us. I think it’s importance even surpasses the Divine Realm and the Ark Continent. If we ascend later on and face the powers of the Cultivation Realm, then the Underworld would be able to provide us with manpower. After all, we can get ores and other items anywhere else. But as for manpower, we can rarely get them.”
Zhao Hai nodded, “We should control the Underworld. But I don’t know if we should do it right now. We’ve already offended Lu Wei. If we ascend in the Ark Continent or the Divine Realm, then we would be chased by him. And this time, we still haven’t found out about the Atlanta Plane’s Ascension magic armor. If that magic armor is useless to us, then we can only ascend in the Underworld. So if we offend the manager of the Underworld, then we would be chased once we ascend. I don’t want to face that situation.”
The group nodded, but Merine knitted her brows as she said, “Young Master, I think you should snatch the Underworld first. In any case, you’ve already offended the people in the Underworld. Moreover, the Underworld is a giant dead landscape, this isn’t something we like to be in. When we ascend, we might as well ascend in the Divine Realm than in the Underworld. Even if we get chased by Lu Wei, the Young Master already fought with him several times, so you have some experience against him. Additionally, if you can’t run, there is still the Space. Also, the Young Master has Lu Wei’s remnant soul who knows about the Cultivation Realm’s situation. On the other hand, if we ascend in the Underworld, we would be going in blind. That case is much more dangerous. Therefore, I believe we should ascend in the Divine Realm or the Atlanta Plane. Ascending in the Underworld isn’t a good idea.”
When Zhao Hai heard Merine’s words, he couldn’t help but stare. He hadn’t thought about this issue. He thought at there wouldn’t be much difference in ascending in the Underworld. Upon hearing Merine, Zhao Hai’s eyes were finally opened. Only the Ark Continent and the Divine Realm belong to the same major plane. If Zhao Hai ascends in the Underworld, then the information that he had from Lu Wei’s remnant spirit would be utterly useless. And this wasn’t a good thing for Zhao Hai.
The faces of Laura and the others changed as well. It seems like old ginger was really more spicy. In terms of experience and wisdom, they couldn’t be compared to Green and Merine. The wisdom of old people were much more meticulous.
Laura nodded and said, “Right, it’s just like what Grandma Merine said. It seems like we should control the Underworld now. Being chased around by Lu Wei is much better than going to a completely unknown place.”
Zhao Hai nodded, “Alright. Then we will take control of the Underworld. Let’s begin with the Resistance Army. Now that Addison is on our side, we can use him to absorb the Resistance Army. After that, we’ll deal with the Dark Temple.”
Green nodded, “That would work. But we still need to be on guard against the people in the Resistance Army. For them to hold on against the Dark Temple for this long means that they have their own methods. If we show our power too much, then it wouldn’t be impossible for those people to work with the Dark Temple to deal with us.”
Zhao Hai nodded, “Right, I know what I should do. Grandpa Green, Grandma Merine, you go back first. I still have something to deal in the Underworld. I will certainly come back later to share a meal with you.” Green nodded with a smile.
After that, Zhao Hai’s figure flashed before he appeared back in Three Saint City. Then he called Addison out. At the same time, Guli and Jiang Zheng arrived and bowed to Zhao Hai, “We have seen the Young Master.”
Zhao Hai nodded and said, “Let’s go inside the tower. I have some words to say.” The three nodded before following Zhao Hai into the tower.
After the group had sat down, Zhao Hai said, “I won’t care about Three Saint City’s matters in the future. Addison will take control. Addison, I want you to unify the Resistance Army as soon as possible. If you need my help, then tell me. Understood?”
Addison’s two eyes shone red before he stood up and bowed, “Young Master, you can rest assured, I will complete it successfully.”
Zhao Hai nodded, then he continued, “Your people, I will release them after a while. But that doesn’t include the Lich. I have things for them to do. Guli and Jiang Zheng will cooperate with you. I don’t care too much about what happens in the Underworld, I’ll leave everything to you. But you need to be successful.”
Addison nodded, “Young Master can feel relieved, I know what to do. But Young Master, if I may ask, what do you want the Lich to do? Are the Lich important to the Young Master?”
Chapter 1007 – Please Turn Me Into An Undead
Zhao Hai stared, he didn’t expect Addison to take the initiative to ask this question. However, Zhao Hai could read through Addison’s question. His two eyes shone as he said, “Why do you ask? Do you know a formidable Lich?”
Addison nodded and said, “I do, Young Master. But I don’t know if he’s still there.” Then Addison told him about the Lich and the fact that the Lich taught him the method to dissolve contracts.
Zhao Hai stared, then he smiled faintly and said, “No wonder you easily agreed to pledge allegiance to me. So you have this intent. Good, good. Tell me about the technique to dissolve a contract.”
Addison didn’t hesitate as he quickly said, “Yes, Young Master.” Then he relayed the method to Zhao Hai.
Zhao Hai calmly listened as Addison told him about how to dissolve a contract. The method was truly wonderful, it could actually negate a contract. After listening to the technique, Zhao Hai couldn’t help but sigh at the amount of talent needed to make it. It truly came from an extraordinarily talented person.
Zhao Hai wasn’t worried that Addison would use this technique. Betrayal was impossible. The method used by the Space was a completely different system to magic. Let alone this technique, even the heavens and the earth couldn’t affect the Space. This was because the Space wasn’t something that belonged to the heavens and the earth.
Addison remained standing there and didn’t make any noise. After some time, Zhao Hai let out a long breath and said, “Really wonderful. Hahaha. Good. Addison, can you visit that Lich? How about this, take care of the matters here first. Then you can lead me to look for that Lich. I need to recruit him under my wing.”
Addison nodded and said, “Young Master can rest assured, I know what to do.”
Zhao Hai nodded, then he waved his hand, allowing Addison to leave. Then Zhao Hai stood up and looked at the Dark Mist outside the tower as he smiled, “I didn’t expect the Underworld to bring another pleasant surprise.” Then his figure flashed as he entered the Space.
Inside the Space, Meg and Merine were preparing their supper. Laura and the others were also helping them. Although their technique wasn’t good, their intention made up for it.
Green was inside the living room, happily looking at the battle between the O’Neal family and the Foreign Races. After seeing Zhao Hai come back, Green stood up and said, “Young Master, you’re back.”
Zhao Hai smiled and said, “Grandpa Green, let’s sit and share a few cups. Later on, we’ll call Father-in-law and the others over. It has been some time since all of us gathered together.”
Naturally, Green didn’t have any complains. Zhao Hai quickly sent some Undead to call the others over. Those who were invited weren’t a lot, they were Rockhead, Blockhead, Karen, Shue, and Shun. These people were Zhao Hai’s closest family members. Because of this, Zhao Hai invited them over.
Before long, everyone was present. Then Zhao Hai and Green told them about the basic matters of the Underworld. Blockhead, Rockhead, Shue and Shun had regretful expressions on their faces. They wanted to follow Zhao Hai into dangerous places, it’s just a pity that their strengths couldn’t catch up. At this time, Green was still training them.
The meal was done preparing not long after that. Zhao Hai and the others proceeded to head towards the dining room. After everyone had sat down, Zhao Hai looked at them and smiled, “Everyone, it’s been a long time since we’ve gathered together. It’s not easy to have time like today.”
Green smiled and said, “Young Master, we made every effort to succeed, but we still couldn’t provide any means to help you.”
Zhao Hai just smiled and said, “It’s not that you couldn’t help, our enemies are just getting stronger and stronger. Alright, let’s not talk about this. Let’s eat. Nevertheless, I believe that we can defeat all of the enemies.”
At this time, Laura looked at Zhao Hai and said, “Brother Hai, I have one thing I couldn’t understand. How did you find Addison? He used his Blood Flash and appeared more than 100 thousand li away. How did you manage to find him that quickly?”
Zhao Hai looked at Laura and gave her a smile, “Did you forget the weapon I used? It’s the Blood Ghost Staff. When I transformed my sword and turned it into a whip, I made a thin needle from the whip head and had it attach to Addison’s body. So even if I cannot see where he escaped to, I can still know his location. This way, I was able to quickly find him.”
This method was truly wonderful. But as long as people lift the mysterious veil, it becomes very unappealing, it looked so simple.
When the others heard Zhao Hai’s explanation, they couldn’t help but admire his thinking. This wasn’t some blind admiration, it stemmed from Zhao Hai’s true ability.
Don’t forget, Zhao Hai’s fight with Addison wasn’t something that would permit even a little bit of distraction. But yet, Zhao Hai was able to note Addison’s reaction and made that arrangement. It was something that needed some ability to execute.
Green nodded and said, “The Young Master has done magnificently. In the face of that kind of enemy, what one needs is calmness. At the same time, we can’t just have that enemy escape. If we allow them to escape, then they would certainly retaliate when they recover. We cannot let such a hostile enemy go free.”
Laura and the others nodded. Zhao Hai looked at everyone and then said, “Alright, let’s not talk about this. Actually, this is no big deal. Everyone, let’s eat.”
Green and the others didn’t express any disagreement and just began eating. After having eaten some food, Zhao Hai suddenly turned to Green and said, “Grandpa Green, how is Blockhead and the others’ training?”
As soon as they head Zhao Hai’s question, Rockhead, Blockhead, Shue, and Shun turned to look at Green. This was because the answer was also very important to them.
Green looked at Blockhead and the others and said, “Young Master, they still aren’t prepared. Although their strengths has been promoted to God-rank thanks to the Space, their combat experience is still very small. However, I’m prepared to send them to the Hell Space for practical training. As long as they are done with that, they would be able to work with the Young Master.”
As soon as they heard Green’s response, the expressions of Blockhead and the others went serious. They had never been on an actual war before, it can be said that their combat training was very minimal. Even Shue and Shun who were experienced in assassinations didn’t have the skill to kill the Undead.
Killing people and killing undead was totally different. If one wanted to kill a person, then slicing their necks or piercing their heart would be enough. On the other hand, these methods couldn’t be used on the Undead. The Undead didn’t have hearts nor necks that could be slit. Even Zombies like Jiang Zheng, even if they had necks, it wasn’t their fatal point. Slitting their throats would just be useless.
With these shortcomings, Shun was the one being affected the most. Shun was an assassin, a hidden weapon expert capable of assassinating people using many methods. But upon facing the undead, his hidden weapons were the most useless things. This was because his attacks wouldn’t be able to kill the undead. Therefore, this practical training was very necessary for Shun.
For Shun and the others, this practical training was good news. This was because this training represented them being a step closer to returning to work by Zhao Hai’s side. With this in mind, they were very eager to succeed.
When he heard Green’s explanation, Zhao Hai nodded and said, “Alright. Have them get adapted to the combat suits first. If they can use the suits, then they wouldn’t die easily.”
At this time, Rockhead suddenly stood up and said, “Young Master, I have a request.”
Zhao Hai stared, then he turned to looked at Rockhead and said, “There’s no need to be overly polite. No matter what your request is, I will certainly try my best to comply.”
Rockhead looked into Zhao Hai’s eyes and said, “Young Master, I ask you, if I die in battle one day, then please turn me into an Undead. Let me keep following you at your side.”
Blockhead stood up as well and said, “Young Master, I’m thinking the same thing as Elder Brother. If I die in battle one day, then please turn me into an Undead.”
Shue and Shun similarly stood up and said the same words. Zhao Hai looked at the four, his face sunken as he said, “You four, why are you talking about dying? Do you really think that I lack manpower? Those Undead are more than enough to be my soldiers. Remember, later on, don’t speak of nonsense like this. You’re my family, so how could I just allow you to die in battle? Your mission is to survive and live alongside me.”
Green also turned to the four and said, “Alright, you guys go sit back down. Your Young Master has more than 1 billion Undead, and all of them have abilities no worse than you.”
As soon as they heard Green, Blockhead and the others sat down. They knew that Zhao Hai and Green only said those words because they cared for them, they couldn’t help but feel grateful.
After eating their meal, Green and the others proceeded to leave. Meanwhile, Zhao Hai didn’t immediately head back to the Underworld. Instead, he sat inside the villa and looked at what Addison and the others were doing.
Addison and the others were currently taking care of Three Saint City. Actually, there was nothing left that much to deal with. Addison was currently calling his people and returning to the cities where they came from, stabilizing the overall situation.
Addison’s current actions were very clever. During this period of time, he took care of things swiftly and smoothly. He also left some hidden traps in his rear. Now, he can take advantage of this opportunity to remove the hidden dangers so that he can hand complete control of his force to Zhao Hai.
Most importantly, only when Addison stabilized these cities would he and Zhao Hai be able to look for that Lich.
Chapter 1008 – Stable Rear Before Leaving
Almost nobody in the Underworld noticed the changes happening in Three Saint City. They were even less likely to know that the changes taking place in the city was something that would affect the entire Underworld.
Addison was now completely loyal to Zhao Hai. Not to say the method of dissolving contracts, even if that magic works, it was still useless. Addison was now intent on doing his best for Zhao Hai.
From what Addison could see, Zhao Hai had paid great attention to that Lich. It even seems like he attaches more importance to the Lich compared to Addison. Although Addison didn’t know why, he knew that this matter would be advantageous for Zhao Hai. In this case, he would need to deal with this matter as soon as possible.
However, taking care of this matter wasn’t easy. Before they can leave, then needed to take care of Three Saint City as well as the other cities that Addison took before.
Actually, in the Underworld, once a city was conquered, there would almost be no rebellion happening. This was because hierarchy was very strict here. This hierarchy was inscribed into the bones of the Undead. Lower-ranked undead wouldn’t dare to rebel.
However, this didn’t indicate that there wouldn’t be any danger in these cities. Because of this, Addison left some high-ranked subordinates inside the cities that he had conquered before. This was to insure the city’s stability.
Also, Addison has his own enemies. They wouldn’t just watch as Addison leaves. When Addison leaves, then it’s possible for his enemies to snatch his cities.
In the Underworld, experts like Addison didn’t only number one or two, there were quite a lot of them. Even if we only counted inside the Resistance Army, there were still several beings on Addison’s level. In fact, despite being strong, Addison wasn’t the strongest.
But although there were other strong characters, their influence wasn’t the same. Addison’s place in the Resistance Army was, in a word, hawkish. He was bent on unifying the Resistance Army and then proceeding to deal with the Dark Temple.
Naturally, opposite the hawks were the doves. These doves think that maintaining the present situation would be best. These two sides weren’t peaceful to each other. On the other hand, there was Kampala’s group, the free and unfettered faction.
The so-called free and unfettered faction were actually people who belong to the middle. They don’t belong to either faction, they just stayed neutral and guarded their territory. If people from the Dark Temple attack, only then would they go into war. Being people in the middle, there were no doves nor hawks among them, all they want was to protect their land.
In the Underworld, the Resistance Army controls over 100 cities. On the other hand, the Dark Temple held several thousand. If it wasn’t because of the strong beings inside the Resistance Army, then the Dark Temple would’ve already gotten control of the Underworld.
Addison was the representative of the hawk faction in the Resistance Army. Not to mention the opposition from the doves, even the other hawks would look covetously at his cities. Therefore, Addison’s camp was still somewhat unstable.
Addison wanted to stabilize his side so that Zhao Hai could rest assured. And the reason why Addison was confident in doing so was because he now had Zhao Hai’s support.
One shouldn’t underestimate the help that Zhao Hai can provide. How much military strength does Zhao Hai have? He had more then 1 billion high-ranked Undead. With this support at his back, Addison was completely able to stabilize his backyard.
Zhao Hai knew this so he didn’t interfere. He already told Addison that he would support him. Therefore, Addison having this confidence was nothing unusual.
Zhao Hai was fully confident of the Space’s abilities. Addison had been subdued by the Space, and since this was so, Addison wouldn’t betray him. Because of this, Zhao Hai didn’t hold back in sending Undead to Addison. There was no need for suspicion and doubt.
Addison had now left Three Saint City, leading Undead to the cities that had surrendered to him.
Addison’s methods were working very well. In the following month, Addison led his undead and reconquered the cities that he had conquered.
It might sound redundant, but it wasn’t redundant at all. Back then, Addison only conquered the strongest beings in those cities, the ordinary people haven’t been subdued. This time, Addison took the Undead army and swept through those cities. All of the Undead have been sent to the Space, becoming Zhao Hai’s subordinate.
Actually, Zhao Hai didn’t expect Addison to use this method. After Addison captured all of the Undead inside the cities, the Undead inside Zhao Hai’s Space had multiplied several times. This is to say that Zhao Hai now had several billion Undead inside his Space.
Naturally, these billions of Undead weren’t all inside the Space, some of them were replaced back into the Underworld. But this time, they were loyal to Zhao Hai. By having these Undead, this meant that Addison’s cities were nigh impregnable.
If other Undead arrived at the cities at this time, then they would find a very strange phenomenon. The Undead inside these cities weren’t as bustling as the others, the city was like a well-oiled machine.
The Undead inside these cities would go out and find things that they see as valuable. Then they would hand them over to the city manager and in turn they would be given rewards.
It was impossible for the other Undead to know that this was Zhao Hai’s idea. After seeing Addison’s actions, Zhao Hai decided to copy the system inside the Space and implement it on these Undead cities.
It took about a month before these cities have been processed. In this month’s time, the battle between the O’Neal family and the Foreign Races has ended. Who won and who lost was still unclear. If talking about casualties, then the O’Neal family won, the ratio of casualties between the two parties was an astonishing 10,000 to 1 in favor of the O’Neal family. However, this didn’t mean that the O’Neal family was victorious. One should know that training magic armor pilots in the Atlanta Plane wasn’t an easy matter. They took a lot more resources compared to a similarly ranked warriors.
Because of this, although the O’Neal family had repelled the Foreign Races, their ability to expand has been hindered. At this moment, they can only defend the Taurus Continent as well as seize the planes belonging the the Thunder Clan, Barbarians, and the Winged Pegasus.
Although this was the case, the O’Neal family didn’t term it as a loss. They wanted the resources of the Taurus Continent, and they managed to get it, albeit after paying a high price.
However, there was a particular phenomenon in the Atlanta Plane. If you have money, then you will not lack people working for you, you can even buy people.
Actually, the Atlanta Plane had once abolished slavery, nobody could buy nor sell people. However, this rule became useless when opening other planes became prevalent.
In the end, the Atlanta Plane could only amend the law. The people from the Atlanta Plane were allowed to buy and sell people, but those people needed to be from other planes. Humans from the Atlanta Plane couldn’t be sold. If one was found violating this law, then they would be severely punished.
This amendment was akin to the Atlanta Plane agreeing to the existence of slavery. This was because the people from the Atlanta Plane didn’t look any different compared to the people from the other planes. One would just need to label a person as someone from another plane and they could be bought or sold.
This condition has been placed in the dark by the higher people from the Atlanta Plane. Because of this, the masses were celebrating that their lords were being magnanimous when in fact they were doing dishonest matters in the dark.
Because of this, the O’Neal family wasn’t worried that nobody would come to the Taurus Continent and act as their labor force. In fact, the ores they gained in the Taurus Continent was enough to buy people and train a lot of magic armor pilots. The only other thing they needed was time.
Since the O’Neal family had no way to attack the Foreign Races and the Foreign Races had no way to attack the O’Neal family, the Taurus Continent had unexpectedly become peaceful.
However, this wasn’t the thing that Zhao Hai wanted to happen. This was because Zhao Hai wanted to see a higher level magic armor from the O’Neal family. The O’Neal family had yet to invest greatly in this war.
Instead of the fight, Zhao Hai’s attention was placed on the O’Neal family’s Patriarch. And through this, Zhao Hai can affirm that the O’Neal family had a more powerful magic armor than their God-rank magic armors. However, it was the same as the Supreme Weapons, they couldn’t be easily used.
The battle with the Foreign Races was beyond the O’Neal family’s expectations. Because of this, they didn’t bring the more powerful magic armor into the Taurus Continent. After experiencing the fierce battle, the magic armor had began its transport. But since it took time to transport this magic armor, and since the fight was in a standoff for a long time, the two sides retreated even before the magic armor arrived.
Because this magic armor didn’t arrive, Zhao Hai had no way to see how it performs in a fight. However, Zhao Hai wasn’t too anxious about this matter. This was because Zhao hai knew that the Foreign Races wouldn’t just let the O’Neal family freely take the Taurus Continent. And at the same time, the O’Neal family wouldn’t just accept having a hidden enemy at all times. A war would happen sooner or later. When that time comes, the O’Neal family would surely use that magic armor, and Zhao Hai would be able to see its might.
Zhao Hai also heard why the O’Neal family couldn’t freely use that magic armor. It was because of its energy consumption. If the magic armor wants to exert its strength, then it would need a strong energy source. Ordinary energy converters might be fine but they wouldn’t be enough. Not only could ordinary energy converters restrict the performance of the magic armor, it could also dramatically shorten the time it can be used.
Take an ordinary magic armor, for example. If it uses an energy converter, then it can remain operational for six hours. If it was in an intense fight, then it can function for four hours. As for that magic armor, an ordinary energy converter would only be enough for it to normally function for one hour. But if it was going to enter a battle, then it would need a special energy block. This energy block was something that was rare even in the Atlanta Plane.
This piece of information stoked Zhao Hai’s interest. He wanted to see that energy block that the O’Neal family Patriarch was talking about.
Peace has been restored in the Divine Realm. This made Zhao Hai turn his full attention to the matters of the Underworld. At this time, Addison’s 20 cities had become under his control. All of the Undead in those cities had been converted. As long as it keeps going smoothly, then Zhao Hai would be able to look for that Lich alongside Addison.
Zhao Hai was full of curiosity towards that Lich. He wanted to know the character of such a being. However, Zhao Hai wasn’t in a hurry, he knew that being anxious would just be useless.
Zhao Hai had already asked Addison about the position of that Lich. Addison said that the Lich was in a very secret place. It would be impossible for ordinary undead to reach that place. Since the place was not dangerous to the Lich, he theoretically wouldn’t leave.
After getting a guarantee from Addison, Zhao Hai relaxed. They needed to unify the Resistance Army and cultivate a stable base. Because of this, it was important for Zhao Hai to stabilize the places that Addison conquered first.
After a month and ten days, Addison finally took care of the cities under his rule. Each city had one or two beings as powerful as Guli and Jiang Zheng managing it. The rest of the Undead were Zhao Hai’s men. With this, the cities wouldn’t be in any danger.
And because of the Space, those cities would support each other all the time. Once a city experiences a problem, then the other cities would immediately offer reinforcements.
After everything has been taken care of, Zhao Hai and Addison left the territory to find that formidable Lich!
Chapter 1009 – High-rank Bone-shaped Plants
Zhao Hai calmly sat inside Guli’s bone carriage. Outside the carriage, one could see that the ones pulling it weren’t ordinary human-shaped skeletons. Instead, it was lifted by four giant bone beasts as they flew in the sky. These four bone beasts had roughly the same bone structure as a human. However, they had four strong limbs as well as long and sharp fangs. One could see from this that the beasts were four giant apes.
Inside the carriage were several bone furniture covered by some beastskin. On a table were two glasses filled with red wine. Addison was sitting opposite Zhao Hai.
Zhao Hai looked at Addison and smiled, “Addison, you need to learn how to indulge. Taste this, it’s the best red wine the Space can produce.”
Because Addison had more contact with Zhao Hai, he wasn’t as polite and respectful compared to before. He was now acting more comfortably in front of Zhao Hai. Naturally, his loyalty to Zhao Hai remained unchanged, he just held back his reverence.
After all, Addison was a king, and he was also an intelligent being. Although he has been subdued by the Space, his memories weren’t altered, the only thing that changed was the fact that he was now loyal to Zhao Hai.
Addison took up a glass of red wine and took a sip. After he placed his glass back down, he smiled and said, “It’s pretty good, very tasty. In the Underworld, we could only drink the blood from the Blood Ponds or blood of magic beasts. Those things simply have no flavor.”
Zhao Hai looked at Addison and said, “Don’t Vampires rely on drinking blood to live? Do you have any other choice?”
Addison smiled and said, “Young Master, we Vampires are actually a type of Undead. During our early lives, we are weak Vampire Bats. At that time, we can only survive by drinking on Blood Ponds. After drinking enough blood from the Blood pond, we slowly transition into becoming Undead. Although blood can provide us with energy, after becoming Vampires, we can survive by directly absorbing the Dark Mist. Only when we are injured or just want to drink blood do we drink it.”
Zhao Hai nodded. It seems like the Vampires in the Underworld were different than the ones on Earth. This also made it known to Zhao Hai that this place was disconnected from Earth. After all, Vampires on Earth only exist in legend, in people’s fantasy. But in this universe, one was sitting right opposite him.
This time, the two came out in order to find the Lich that Addision mentioned. The two didn’t bring anybody else. Naturally, Zhao Hai was still able to bring his army out. After all, there was the Space.
Addison looked at Zhao Hai and said, “Moreover, in my current level, I don’t need blood anymore. As long as I absorb the Dark Mist, I can have endless strength.”
Zhao Hai nodded, “Good, the Underworld’s Dark Mist is truly mysterious. Right, how far are we from reaching the next city?”
Addison’s spiritual force swept out before he said, “It’s not far away. In half a day, we should reach Dry Bone City.”
Zhao Hai had a curious expression as he asked, “Addison, how does the Underworld tell the time? Also, how do you distinguish between night and day?”
Addison smiled and said, “Young Master, there are many methods in the Underworld, and each one of them is different. Time has no use to the Undead, so nobody really takes note of the time. But as for day and night, we can see it from the concentration of the Dark MIst. When the density of the mist is strong, then it’s night, if it is thin, then it’s day.”
Zhao Hai nodded. He knew that the Undead would be the most sensitive to the changes to the Dark Mist. Since the Dark Mist was everywhere, using this method to tell the time was quite convenient.
Zhao Hai also swept the outside with his spiritual force, then he sighed, “I didn’t expect plants to be able to survive in the Underworld. Also, those plants look very strange. This is my first time seeing plants growing to look like bones.”
In the past several days, Zhao Hai had gained some understanding regarding the strange things in the Underworld. There were plenty of plants here, and all of them look very foreign to Zhao Hai. Some of these plants were pitch black. Although they had leaves growing, these leaves were also black. It wasn’t a very dark shade of green, but completely black. There were also some plants that were pure red, and also some that were completely blood red.
But one of the strangest plants that Zhao Hai saw were these bone plants. The trunk of the plant was a huge bone with its branches being thinner versions. Its leaves were made out of bones as well. In short, the plant looked like a piece of art made purely out of bones stuck together. It didn’t resemble anything that can be called alive.
When Zhao Hai saw these plants, his first thought was that they were fake. But afterwards he discovered that they weren’t. This plant had roots. And when they were sent to the Space, the Space issued a prompt. According to the Space, this plant was a type of High-ranked fauna. It seems like these plants would have great use in the future. This was because the Space only identified it as high-rank, nothing else. This meant that the Space’s level was not enough to describe the properties of the plant.
Upon hearing the Space’s prompt, Zhao Hai immediately knew that these bone plants were great items. And being low-level was a sign of a good thing, this was what Zhao Hai learned after having the Space this long.
What made Zhao Hai more surprised was the fact that this plant could only survive on Bone Mountains. If you change its location, then it wouldn’t grow.
Zhao Hai had no choice but to go outside and take that Bone Mountain into the Space. But Zhao Hai didn’t expect that upon taking that Bone Mountain into the Space, the Space issued a prompt. It said that the Bone Mountain had improved the Hell Space. Not only that, it actually increased the Space’s level by one. At the same time, it was stated that the Bone Mountain could grow up. Once it becomes big enough, then it would automatically produce skeletons on its own. This was definitely an unexpected surprise for Zhao Hai.
Zhao Haid didn’t think that the Space would have a function. He immediately took a bigger Bone Mountain to the Space. However, this time, the Space didn’t issue any prompt, the Bone Mountain didn’t produce any skeletons either. In the end, Zhao Hai could only give up. Now he was wondering what other things he can see in the Underworld.
When Addison heard Zhao Hai’s comments, he smiled and said, “There are a lot of strange things in the Underworld. In fact, there aren’t a lot of bone plants existing here. This is because the Undead would immediately eat them since it can increase their level.”
Zhao Hai nodded, he really didn’t know what uses these plants had. But Zhao Hai still had the Undead stroll around the cities and collect any strange things they come across.
Addison looked at Zhao Hai and said, “Young Master, although there aren’t a lot of plants in the Underworld, each one of them are very useful. And even if Dark Creatures generally eat plants, they can swallow fiery souls as well. At the same time, they could survive by consuming the blood in Blood Ponds. It was for this reason that their bodies produce spirit stones.”
Zhao Hai nodded. After a long period of evolution, it wouldn’t be unreasonable for the Dark Creatures to find ways in order to survive. They had no eyes, they can drink from poisonous Blood Pounds, and they can even absorb fiery souls. It was obvious that these were all for survival. After all, fiery souls and blood ponds were the most common things in the Underworld.
Just like Addison said, there weren’t a lot of plants in the Underworld. Zhao Hai believes that this was because of the Underworld being devoid of life. Even these mutant plants found it difficult to survive.
While the two men were chatting, Zhao Hai could suddenly feel the presence of a city in front of them. Addison discovered it as well. After using his spiritual force, Addison turned to Zhao Hai and said, “Young Master, Dry Bone City is in front of us. It’s a city that is very important for the Undead. Do you want to go there to rest?”
Actually, with their strengths, they don’t need to take a rest. However, Zhao Hai wanted to take a look at Dry Bone City so he nodded and said, “Alright, let’s take some rest. I also want to see how different Dry Bone City is compared to Three Saint City.”
Addison smiled and said, “It is definitely different. Dry Bone City is quite an important city for the Rebel Alliance. Three Saint City isn’t as significant. Three Saint City is a place constructed by Kampala and the others, so its location is quite remote. On the other hand, Dry Bone City has connections to the Resistance Army and the Dark Temple. Because of this, the city is quite large. At the same time, since there are a lot of undead doing transactions here, hotels are built. They’re quite rare in the underworld.”
When he heard Addison, Zhao Hai said, “The Underworld has hotels? This is the first time I’ve heard of this. Interesting. We need to take a look inside the city and see if there are good things inside.”
Addison smiled and said, “You can bump into something good once in a while, but the probability of that happening is very low. After all, there aren’t a lot of good things in the barren Underworld.” While he said that, the bone carriage proceeded towards Dry Bone City.
