Chapter 89: Equilibrium
Translator: Lonelytree
Nature’s Soul was both conservative and open-minded!
Matthew was filled with emotions as he watched Ella fly away shyly.
He returned to the hut and recorded the conversation with the goddess in the form of a handwritten copy. Although Matthew shouldn’t be affected by the intelligence lock, Matthew wanted to be sure.
In the next few days.
Matthew’s planting of trees slowed down slightly.
In the past month, he had planted a total of 1+52 trees, which was simply unbelievable in the past.
Ella had played a big role in achieving such efficiency.
If she had not germinated the seeds day and night, and if Matthew had not mastered the ” Rapid Growth ” spell, the results of the past month would not have been so remarkable.
Theoretically speaking.
In Rolling Stone Town, only March, April, May, and October were suitable for planting trees. Matthew should be doing his best.
Unfortunately, the saplings in the greenhouse were almost exhausted. The oak seeds that Matthew had bought last time were indeed problematic. Many of the seeds could not be saved by Ella. After that, the travelling merchant Jeff never appeared in the market of Rolling Stone Town again.
No one in the town usually went to the Guardian Highland. For a time, Matthew lost his source of seeds.
He took the time to entrust another merchant to help bring the goods, but it was unknown when he would get the goods.
The logistics of this world were still too inefficient.
On the other hand, there were still many things waiting for Matthew. For example, advancing and building a cemetery.
In the underground cave.
One by one, the Silvermoon Zombies were wandering around unconsciously.
“Ah! Ah! Ah!”
A few crows flew out of nowhere and dared to peck at the rotting flesh on the zombie’s body. In the end, their sharp beaks were blocked by the Bark Spell.
The crow persevered for a while, but it still couldn’t eat any meat, so it flew away resentfully.
Deep in the cave.
A few figures were still busy.
“Yes, nail it here. Thank you for your hard work!” The Mage Fire and the torch lit up a corner of the room.
Shadows flickered on the wall.
Under Matthew’s command, a few garrison members closed the last circle of fences against the wall and set up a wooden sign painted with red paint outside the fence.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe wooden sign said –
[Matthew’s Graveyard (Zombies Inside! Beware!) ]
With the few alarm traps Matthew had set up himself, the cemetery’s approximate range was determined.
The cave where the cemetery was located was originally an abandoned underground mine.
There were several tunnels leading to the depths of the ground.
In order to prevent any more complications, Matthew not only set up warning wooden signs around the cemetery but also blew up the passages.
As a result, the cemetery became a sealed underground space except for a few paths leading to the oak forest on the surface.
Matthew’s zombies and skeletons would be able to move freely here.
Although there was no single room, it was far more spacious than the dormitories.
” When I come back from Baiyan City, I will plant a whole circle of ” Black Locust ” near the fence. At that time, the negative energy in the cemetery will have a chance to circulate automatically.” He gave a small tip and sent away the garrison members who were helping with the construction.
Matthew stood on the edge of the fence and thought.
Behind him were the shadows of the undead.
This scene would only look horrifying to others.
However, for the necromancers who were used to seeing it, it was indescribably beautiful.
“But the seeds of the Black Locust Tree are not cheap. Sigh, as expected, no matter which era it is, it is difficult to do anything without money.”
Matthew shook his head and smiled bitterly in his heart.
The Black Locust Tree was a plant that grew in the Underworld. Like the Phantom Butterfly, the Black
Locust Tree fed on negative energy. The difference was that when the undead was active at night, the Black Locust Tree would release a certain amount of negative energy to promote the circulation of negative energy. Only during the day would they absorb a small amount of negative energy for growth.
The biggest advantage of this plant was that it did not need sunlight. As long as there was water, it could be planted underground.
And once the cemetery was surrounded by black locust trees…
The negative energy there would almost never leak out.
At that time, Matthew planned to add things that the undead liked to the cemetery: Coffins, shrouds, negative energy spring water, loose bones, ropes, saws, rotting plants… Matthew’s goal was to turn this place into a miniature negative energy plane!
In the future.
He even wanted to integrate the ecospheres of the spaces above and below the ground to form a closed loop that could circulate with each other.
He had even thought of a name tor the relevant domam.
“Let’s call it ‘ecosphere!’
” Aindor doesn’t seem to have such a domain yet. When I become a Legend and can create my own domain, the ecosphere might become a new domain of a higher level, which would encompass the domains of Oak and the Undying.
” Now that my body carries two legendary paths, I have to find a way to command them. Even if I can’t do that, I have to balance them at least.”
Just as Matthew was leaning against the wooden sign and thinking.
The sound of rocks rolling could be heard from the depths of the cave.
Matthew’s heart tightened.
That was the direction of the tunnel he had blown up earlier!
Before he could gather the undead.
A shiny bald head emerged from the tunnel.
When he saw Matthew.
The bald man was also stunned.
“We meet again. Oh, Matthew, right?”
Matthew looked at Li Weiqi in surprise. “Mr Li, what are you doing?”
Li Weiqi rubbed his hands, a little embarrassed.
“These days, I followed the scent of those underground creatures and destroyed three nests of underground creatures, but they still managed to escape. Two days ago, I fought with a bunch of
Hook Horrors that had just woken up from hibernation. I was almost driven to the territory of the Benthic Demon Fish, but in the end, I returned to where I was.
“When I was approaching the surface, I got lost and could only carve out my way in an unconventional way.”
Matthew walked over quickly.
He discovered that there was a passageway that could only allow one person to pass through where the cave had collapsed!
Beside him, there were pebbles everywhere.
Matthew was a little shocked. “Mr Li, did you dig the cave with your bare hands?” Li Weiqi said enthusiastically, “Don’t call me Mr. Li. You can call me Li Weiqi or Li.
“As for the cave, I didn’t use my bare hands. I used ‘Qi’.”
Matthew had heard of it.
He knew that it was a I-Gnd of extraordinary energy cultivated by martial monks, and it had a completely different nature from magic power.
“Li, I noticed that your Qi seems to be a little different.”
Matthew recalled the dragon’s roar when he confronted the enemy that day and could not help but ask.
According to what he knew, ordinary monks couldn’t unleash dragon roars.
Li Weiqi’s class was called ” Divine Dragon Sect’s Disciple “, which meant that he was also a special case among the monks.
“Indeed.” Li Weiqi didn’t avoid it and introduced generously, ” The ‘Divine Dragon Monastery’ that I was ordained at belongs to a more special branch of the Monk Faction. Not only do we cultivate Qi, but we also strive to use Qi to simulate the forms of transcendental life in the universe. The giant dragon is just one of them. There are also monks in the Divine Dragon Monastery who simulate the giant whale in the deep sea and the snake in the sky.
“Because of this kind of simulation, our qi often carries different temperaments and attributes.
“Compared to the average Monk, our cultivation was even more difficult. Not only did we have to follow the precepts and cultivate our Qi, but we also had to track the transcendental creatures that we simulated when necessary.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAt this point.
A bitter smile appeared on his face. ” This path has its pros and cons. Simulating transcendental lifeforms gives us greater combat abilities, but if such transcendental lifeforms no longer appear in this plane, we will almost permanently lose the possibility of advancing.”
Matthew was stunned when he heard that.
Li Weiqi said in a bright voice,
” That’s why I’ve been running around outside all these years, hoping to find traces of the creature I simulated. Unfortunately, ever since it left a paw print in the Divine Dragon Temple two hundred years ago, it has never appeared in the mortal world again. I suspect that it has already left this plane.”
Matthew couldn’t help but ask, “What is that creature?”
Li Weiqi said the uncommon word in the standard common language, “Coiling Dragon.
“It’S a peculiar dragon that was once active in the Eastern Continent in ancient times. It’S different from the Chromatic Dragons, Metal Dragons, or rare dragons in Aindor. The Coiling Dragon is an older and more powerful True Dragon!
” According to the records of the Divine Dragon Temple, the Coiled Dragon was born a Legend. When it matured, it possessed the power of a Superior Legend or even a Divine. I comprehended Qi because of its claw prints, but I hesitated because I couldn’t find more traces of it.
“Perhaps this is fate.”
A giant dragon from the Eastern Continent?
Matthew’s heart quivered, and he blurted out, ” Then do you know about Su?”
Li Weiqi looked at Matthew in surprise. “You actually know about the most famous country in the history of the Eastern continent?” “History?” Matthew was puzzled.
Li Weiqi nodded:
” I used to travel around the Endless Ocean and the western coast. I got to I-mow some of the Su People who were living in exile there. They told me that there was once a very powerful empire in the Eastern Continent, but it was destroyed more than 1,000 years ago.
“It was also because of the fall of the Empire that you could see some Su tribes on the long coastline of the Arunay Sea and the surrounding islands. Their ancestors had crossed the sea on huge turreted ships hundreds of years ago and settled in Aindor. Now, they only retained the features of the Su, and most of them had integrated into the local life.” Was it destroyed a thousand years ago?
Matthew was puzzled.
If what Li Weiqi said was true.
What about the ship that Samantha encountered in her childhood?
Matthew wanted to ask more when Li Weiqi smiled. “Are you going to let the zombies and skeletons keep watching our conversation?”
Matthew hurriedly took him out of the cemetery.
Walking in the oak forest.
Li Weiqi closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
When he opened his eyes.
His face was filled with curiosity.
“You planted this oak forest yourself? It’s incredible. I can feel the love of the oak trees for you and your natural affinity. Even I, a monk, am not as popular as you in the forest.
“But you are clearly a necromancer, and you even built a cemetery. Wait, are you planning to imitate the Su and walk the path of life and death equilibrium?”
Matthew’s heart jumped. “The path of equilibrium? Can you tell me in detail?”
Li Weiqi said seriously, “Yes, but everything has a price.”
Matthew nodded and said,” “Whatever you want, just say it.”
Li Weiqi blinked.
“Give me a mouthful of water, thank you.”
