Chapter 211 – Building the Barracks First and then Mining, what kind of Underworld strategy is that?
“So, emotions are really troublesome…”
The fresh and captivating death aura surrounded the young girl. After slightly adapting to the sudden dark environment, Kazumi looked up at the territory, which was now countless times more lively than before.
The flock of Corpse Crows, which were originally scattered and few, had greatly expanded. Led by two obviously larger Corpse Crows, more than ten bustling Corpse Crows emerged from their nests and formed neat queues in the air, awaiting the young girl’s command.
Dabai, who was resting, also sensed Kazumi’s arrival. The mouthparts stored on its tail opened, and countless small corpse maggots, as thick as fingers, crawled out from the mouthparts, covering Dabai’s surroundings.
Coupled with Little Black, the two ghouls waiting nearby, and the chaotic buildings with their unique and extremely sinister appearances, this once extremely shabby territory now looked like something substantial.
“But thinking about it now, it still feels like such a loss!!”
Reaching out and patting Little Black’s head as it consciously came over, the young girl scratched her hair in frustration. Although she now had so many subordinates and looked much more powerful than before, Kazumi’s heart was probably bleeding.
After all, with proper operation, a quality corpse could fetch very excellent troop types for Dabai in all aspects. However, if all that flesh and blood material were poured into the troop庫, besides getting more output, there were probably no other benefits.
Well, there were also the leader troops…
She extended a hand and held it suspended in the air. The Corpse Crow leader in the sky understood Kazumi’s command, let out a cry, and the larger Corpse Crow leader obediently landed on the young girl’s shoulder.
Reaching out and touching the black Corpse Crow leader, the capability displayed on the attribute panel was indeed worthy of a D-class troop, with only the [Battle Command] that could strengthen her control over the entire flock of Corpse Crows and the [Vision Sharing] which was more powerful than ordinary Corpse Crows.
“The problem is that these can all be achieved through sheer numbers!!”
Waving her hand to drive away the heavy guy on her shoulder, Kazumi looked at the completely empty warehouse area with her dead-fish eyes, feeling somewhat helpless.
The corpses of these psychics were very important to Kazumi. Although they were just awakened and didn’t know how to use their abilities yet, they were still psychics!
The things obtained by sacrificing flesh and blood materials containing energy were things that ordinary flesh and blood materials could never exchange for.
And these things that the young girl cherished as important strategic resources for her early development, items that were treasured and collected, had now turned into a few laughable crows and a pile of white maggots????
Kazumi felt like punching herself to death right now. The main reason was that she was the one who gave the order, and she had no one to blame.
[No, there still is!!]
The beautiful face of Mai Shinomiyai appeared in her mind, and her killing intent towards the girl increased. Regardless of whether the cause of this matter was her jealousy leading to an impulsive decision, in any case, this matter was now her fault.
Sacrificing a being who used energy opposite to the undead element should elicit a response from that being…
Thinking of a way to slightly mitigate the losses, the dead-fish eyes on the young girl’s face recovered a bit. She beckoned the Corpse Crows back to their nests, squatted down, and began to examine the small corpse maggots scattered everywhere on the ground.
They were about the size and thickness of a thumb, and their appearance was basically similar to Dabai’s, only… However, their abilities made Kazumi slightly stunned. Before, she only knew through the messages transmitted by Dabai that her offspring had healing abilities.
But now she discovered that each of these numerous small corpse maggots possessed two skills: the corrosive liquid with damage capabilities and the healing liquid with healing capabilities. Although the effect of the experiment was very poor, the corrosive liquid released by each might only be enough to burn the skin, and the healing effect seemed to be very ordinary.
But it should be known that there were tens of thousands of these little cuties surrounding Dabai. A change in quantity could lead to a change in quality. If a person were thrown directly into them, they would probably be corroded into nothingness within a few minutes.
[In that case, the maggot sea tactic also seems to have a way forward. However, the aerial bombing idea still needs to be communicated with Dabai again to see if she can produce special offspring.]
While thinking about future plans, the young girl stretched out her palm and squeezed Dabai’s soft head. The latter let out “hu hu” sounds and rubbed against Kazumi’s palm, creating a harmonious scene of humans and animals living together.
“Okay, okay, you go rest, I still have some things to do.”
Refusing Dabai’s intimate gesture of wanting to pounce, Kazumi smiled and put the big cutie down, patting her head to signal her to take her babies to rest first.
The maggot mother also nodded knowingly. The mouthparts at the tip of its tail opened, and countless small maggots swarmed into the mouthparts. In just one minute, all the white maggots on the ground were collected into Dabai’s belly, and she slowly crawled towards the warehouse.
“Come here, it’s time to get down to business!”
She beckoned Little Black and the other two over, found a comfortable position, and sat down. After all, basic living supplies were still scarce in this territory, and the young girl couldn’t bring a chair in to use for a few days before it would be corroded by the death aura. How many chairs did she have at home to waste?
In the past, Little Black and the others served as chairs. But now, Little Black’s teeth ability was not well controlled, and Kazumi was afraid of being poked while sitting on it. So, she could only reluctantly let the other poor ghoul, who still didn’t have a name, act as a chair. As for Little Black?
Same old rule, lie on the ground and let your lord pet you!
“Speaking of which, wouldn’t it be more comfortable to change to Dabai in the future…”
Even through the Human Skin Cloak, the young girl could feel the undulating sensation under her buttocks. Although it might be due to the absence of Little Black, which caused discomfort, after experiencing Dabai’s soft pillow-like embrace, the young girl only now realized belatedly that these two incompetent chairs seemed to be at the end of their service life.
“Never mind, never mind, I’ll talk about it next time!”
Waving her hand indifferently, the young girl crossed her legs, gently resting them on the shoulders of Little Black, who was crawling on the ground, a satisfied smile appearing on her face.
Her fair and jade-like index finger lightly drew a stroke in the air, selecting a spot next to the altar, in front of the warehouse, which had been deliberately emptied. There were sparse tombstones and a large patch of land, and the ten corpses that Kazumi had buried there earlier.
Perhaps this was also something the young girl should feel fortunate about? Because they were buried in advance, she didn’t think of the corpses inside when she lost her reason, otherwise, these things probably wouldn’t be able to be built now.
The building blueprints in her arms fluttered up automatically, turning into a strange energy that enveloped the large amount of material on the ground, and finally radiating to the entire open space.
The rotten soil on the ground also slowly piled up under an unknown force, finally forming a small mound. A few old and worn tombstones were also scattered on the soil fragments at some unknown time. As the special black tombstone on top emerged from the blueprint, an extremely dense death aura radiated from the entire mound, spreading throughout the entire space, and even the death aura expanding the boundaries nearby accelerated a bit.
As the dark green progress bar in the young girl’s eyes reached its maximum value, a crisp ding sound sounded in Kazumi’s ears, causing her to unconsciously wear a faint smile.
[Graveyard Hill] construction completed!
