Chapter 1579: 181 Resentful Spirits’ Return_3
Ah Dai nodded heavily and said, "From what you’re saying, it seems like there are some powerful Undead Creatures, right? Are they really enough to rival the Demon Realm?"
Little Bones replied, "After millennia of reproduction, the Undead Creatures in the Death Mountain Range have developed to quite a high level. After all, the foundation of our Undead Creatures comes from the energy left behind by the great war a thousand years ago. You have already encountered the first five kinds of creatures from the Twelve Tribulations of the Undead. Bone Birds, Skeletons, and Zombies are nothing. They are just low-level Undead Creatures. It is only due to their vast numbers that they can occupy a place in this Death Mountain Range. However, we Resentful Spirits and Polar Undead Spiders are different. We already belong to the near-mid-level Undead Creatures. If you hadn’t summoned Lord Divine Dragon this time, it would have been very difficult to get past us. Master, with your current power, you are already considered very strong on the continent, aren’t you? But I estimate that you’ll only be able to reach the sixth stage at best, and if you’re lucky, you might pass. But the seventh stage, you absolutely won’t be able to get through."
Ah Dai, knowing that Little Bones was spiritually connected to him and very clear about his abilities, couldn’t help but ask, "Then can you tell me about the Undead Creatures beyond that? What abilities do they have that you think so highly of?"
Little Bones’ voice trembled as he sighed and said, "Their strength is too formidable. Before the Church of the Dark Saint classified us Undead Creatures, we were scattered. Skeletons, Bone Birds, Zombies, and Undead Knights, those low-level Undead Creatures lived on the outskirts of the Death Mountain Range. While we Resentful Spirits, Polar Undead Spiders, and two other mid-level Undead lived in the central area of the Death Mountain Range. And those high-level Undead Creatures dwell in the deepest layers of the Death Mountain Range. In other words, we Undead Creatures are divided into three levels. High-level Undead Creatures can freely enter and leave the territories of low-level Undead Creatures, effectively ruling over them, whereas low-level Undead Creatures are absolutely not allowed to enter the areas of high-level Undead Creatures, or they will face devastating attacks. So, I only know about the situations of the Undead Creatures at the sixth and seventh stages; the last five kinds of Undead Creatures are beyond my knowledge. Just the Undead Creatures I know of at the seventh stage are already incredibly powerful to an unbelievable extent."
Ah Dai, a bit anxious, said, "Then what are the Undead Creatures of the sixth and seventh stages? Hurry and tell me!"
Little Bones pondered for a moment before he said, "The Undead Creatures at the sixth stage are what we call Rotten Dragons. They are not true dragons but an Undead Creature that evolved from Earth Dragons, close relatives of dragons. You might not know about Earth Dragons. A thousand years ago, Earth Dragons were a species on this continent, about four meters long and around two and a half meters tall, with sharp claws and teeth, extremely powerful. At that time, the number of Earth Dragons on the continent was already very few, probably less than a thousand. They submitted to the formidable Dark Demon Clan, and in the subsequent battles with human heroes, they were slaughtered by the true Divine Dragons and faced genocide. However, with their tenacious life energy and desire for life, they absorbed Evil Aura from the Demon Realm, forcibly confining their powerful souls within their bodies to form their current state. Since they are already dead, they are covered in rotting flesh, exuding an unpleasant odor, much like people who turn into Zombies; these are Earth Dragons transformed into Rotting Dragons. Compared to when they were alive, these Rotten Dragons are even more powerful than Earth Dragons. Apart from their formidable physical attacks, they now possess powerful poison. After absorbing the Evil Aura, their Dragon Souls have become extraordinarily strong. However, you have Dragon’s Blood in you, along with the Dragon King’s might, I think you should be able to pass this stage. Also, these Rotten Dragons do not have flying abilities; there’s merely a poisonous red fog above them. The toxic fog they emit is not as corrosive as that of Zombies’, but it is very sticky, so getting through might take some effort."
"Rotten Dragons, the sixth stage is Rotten Dragons. That should still be possible to get through." With a method for dealing with Zombie Poisonous Fog, he believed he could use the same approach to avoid touching the toxic fog. "Then what about the seventh stage of Undead Creatures that you praise so highly?"
Little Bones sighed and said, "The seventh stage is the Undead Fairy. Her power is beyond verbal description. With her abilities, even among high-level Undead Creatures, she can definitely occupy a very high status. But because of her scarcity, being alone, she resides in the seventh stage. It’s said that she was originally a human girl, who, for some unknown reason, developed immense resentment, pushing her soul beyond our Resentful Spirits’ realm to a level we cannot understand. Not only is her power formidable, but she’s also filled with wisdom, possessing intelligence on par with humans."
Ah Dai somewhat dismissively said, "So, in that sense, she also belongs to your kind of Resentful Spirits."
Little Bones said, "You could say that, she can completely be considered our Resentful Spirit King. Even if we combined all of our Resentful Spirits’ abilities, we wouldn’t be able to contend with her. She’s different from us; we Resentful Spirits all hope to find an ordinary biological body to inhabit and gain new life. But she seems very satisfied with her current state, not caring at all about being a Resentful Spirit. For adventurers in the past, she had only one approach, which was to completely devour them. With her abilities, even high-level Undead do not want to provoke her easily."
