Chapter 65 Lich
Killing undead creatures grants Spirit Essence, which can be exchanged for Burning Rock Charcoal. Ignited Burning Rock Charcoal transforms into a rain of fire, annihilating even more undead.
As long as each piece of burning coal can kill three or four undead, Thor will make a profit.
In this bottomless mine, the undead creatures were incredibly densely packed, making this task incredibly easy, so he could squander it as he pleased.
Before the flames of the first piece of burning coal had died down, Thor had already thrown the next piece into the mine.
This super fuel, with an energy density more than twenty times that of ordinary coal, was piled up at a corner below the mine shaft, and the blazing fire illuminated the entire upper section in a fiery red.
The mine before them now seemed to have transformed into a high-temperature furnace, with large numbers of undead being pushed and shoved by their companions behind them, falling straight into the raging flames.
The negative energy clinging to them was purified by the intense fire element, and the withered bones were ignited, turning into billowing smoke that rose upwards.
Spiritual Essence Fragment +0.2.
Spiritual Essence Fragment +0.5.
Fragments of spiritual essence...
Numerous notifications flashed before my eyes like a screen, and the balance displayed behind the "essence" kept climbing like a ticking timer.
Thor once again experienced the function of the outermost turntable; this ability to instantly convert various substances was simply a divine weapon for sustaining war through warfare.
If he draws enough times and unlocks a wide variety of items, wouldn't that be equivalent to turning his spiritual essence into all things in the world?
Thinking further ahead, when I ascend to godhood and combine this wheel with my divine status, will any believer who offers me faith be able to obtain food, weapons, money... and even all the necessities for survival?
In this way, wouldn't one's divine functions be able to extend to all areas, making one an omniscient and omnipotent ruler?
Thinking of this, if the situation weren't still unclear, Thor would have been unable to contain himself and burst into laughter.
He wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth with his paw, and seeing that the firelight in the mine below seemed to have dimmed a little, he threw in a dozen more pieces of burning coal.
A hoarse roar suddenly echoed from inside the mine, immediately catching Thor's attention.
If I remember correctly, neither skeletons nor ghosts can make a sound; the so-called shriek is actually a kind of mental shock.
Could it be that new undead have appeared?
Thor quickly poked his head out and looked down into the mine. In the glow of the blazing fire, he saw several burly figures.
Compared to the skeletons, these newly appeared undead had a body of seemingly decaying flesh, a pale and purple face, and were covered in tattered clothes.
This is a zombie, an undead creature that is stronger and more resilient than a skeleton, but slightly slower and less agile.
Those that appeared at the bottom of the mine were particularly ugly. Even though their skin was charred black by the fire, Thor could still see some resemblance to trolls.
Trolls exist in the Endless Glacier? That's truly rare.
……
Even with the added protection of their flesh and blood, these zombies still couldn't get past the burning coals.
This super fuel from the Monster Hunter world, while not generating a temperature more than ten times that of ordinary coal as described, is at least two or three times higher.
This is a temperature of three to four thousand degrees Celsius, which is more than enough to melt gold and iron. Boiling magma even appeared in the area below the mine where it came into contact with the burning coal.
The rotten flesh on ordinary zombies would ignite in less than three seconds, causing them to stagger and fall to the ground like human torches.
They provide slightly more essence fragments than skeletons, almost on par with ghosts.
But this change served as a wake-up call for Thor: the undead surging out of the mines were becoming increasingly powerful, and he couldn't keep farming essences there forever; he had to prepare in advance.
He threw in more than twenty pieces of burning coal in one go, and after confirming that no undead could rush up in a short time, he turned to look at the solid ice lying on the ground to the side.
In just a few hours, the dark blue ice block, which had been reduced to only two meters in diameter by the young white dragon, expanded again, reaching nearly four meters in size, and its bottom was frozen deep into the ground.
Thor stepped forward, and as the distance closed, the extreme cold intensified, making him feel a stinging pain in his scales.
Red Dragon and True Ice are natural enemies, like water and fire that cannot coexist.
He tried pressing a paw against the surface of the ice, and a thick vapor instantly rose up, accompanied by a hissing sound, while the magic power within his body rapidly dissipated.
He then tried to reach his claws into the surrounding ground, attempting to lift up the surrounding layer of soil along with it.
However, they discovered that the intense power of ice had spread to every corner of the underground, as if it had taken root, and the earth element was also disturbed, making it impossible to dig.
"Damn it! I was planning to move it over and put it back in the mine, but it looks like I can't do it by myself!"
"Then why didn't those undead choose to carve a horizontal passage from below, bypassing the ice blocking their way above, and rush out?"
Just as Thor was pondering this, in another world, a lich wearing a tattered cloak could no longer contain his rage and began to rage.
……
If you keep going down this mine where undead keep emerging, you'll find that it seems to have no end.
As you go deeper, the surrounding stone walls will become hazy, as if fading, until at some point you feel as if you have passed through some kind of barrier, and you will find yourself at the very bottom of a deep pit.
Looking out from the deep pit, the whole world was a deathly gray-white, the sun in the sky was blood-red, and wandering ghosts and broken bones could be seen everywhere.
Moraes Gidini brandished his bone scepter, controlling the wandering undead around him, causing them to leap one after another into the deep pit before him.
He discovered this node leading to the real world a long time ago, but it was too fragile to support his body as it passed through.
Just as he was preparing to send some low-level undead over to expand the passage with blood and souls, an extreme icy power completely blocked the exit at the other end.
But he did not give up. Time is the cheapest thing for undead creatures, and he believed that as long as he waited, things would eventually turn around.
Sure enough, the icy power on the other side of the passage suddenly disappeared not long ago. Seeing hope, he couldn't wait to command his undead legion to launch an attack.
However, when hundreds or thousands of ghosts and skeletons were thrown in, they vanished as if into thin air, without causing the slightest ripple.
Even the ghost he controlled, after passing through the node, only saw endless flames and was burned to ashes before it could last even a second.
