Chapter 49

This was Zhao Hai’s first time looking at an undead creature so seriously. He really didn’t know how it was formed. Although there were many legends about zombies on earth, they were just legends. However, this one in front of him was real.

The skeletal frame of the giant crocodile was swaggering around the hall. It looked like a real crocodile. It was made of bones, and its tail was like a steel whip. Every time it waved, it would leave a mark on the wall. The wall was made of iron ore, which was as hard as steel.

What caught Zhao Hai’s attention the most were the two eyes of the skeleton. They flickered with green flames, as terrifying as will-o’- the-wisps.

After comparing it to the wall next to it, Zhao Hai calculated that the creature was at least 15 meters long and 3 meters tall. If it extended its claws, it would be about 5 meters wide. If it was not for the large gate of the main castle, it would not have been able to climb into the hall.

Zhao Hai swiped the screen a few more times. There were only a few magical beasts in the main castle. Other than the giant crocodile, there was only an undead creature that looked like a rat’s skeleton upstairs.

Zhao Hai turned the screen back to the living room and looked at the crocodile skeleton. He said to green, ” “Grandpa Green, can you make a rough estimate of this thing’s combat power?”

Green nodded and said, ” this isn’t a high-level magic beast. It should be an undead creature transformed from a shallow water poisonous crocodile. Its combat power isn’t very strong, only about the standard of a grade-4 magic beast. But now, it is an undead creature. It isn’t afraid of death and won’t die easily. In addition, its bones are poisoned. So even a grade-5 warrior like wood and stone wouldn’t have any advantage when fighting with it. &Quot;

Zhao Hai nodded and said to green and Merlin, ” “Grandpa Grimm, grandma Merlin, see if you can bring this thing into the space. I want to take a closer look at it.”

Merlin smiled. &Quot; it’s fine. This is very simple. I can do it alone. &Quot; Then, he stood up and walked out.

Zhao Hai and the others followed. When they reached the empty mine behind the house, Merlin turned to Zhao Hai and said, ” “Young master, open the space.”

Zhao Hai nodded. With a thought, a spatial crack appeared. Merlin softly chanted a few incantations, and an aqua-blue band of light immediately flew out of the space. This band of light was like a huge rope. It curled around the outside and then retracted. The giant crocodile skeleton was rolled into the space without any ability to fight back.

Zhao Hai stared blankly at the skeleton that was writhing on the ground. He was looking at the undead creatures at such a close distance. Previously, he had only seen them on the screen.

The crocodile’s skeleton had been completely bound by the blue light, and it was wriggling on the ground. However, its most powerful claws, tail, and mouth were all tied up, so it had no attack power at all.

Zhao Hai looked at the skeleton carefully. If it wasn’t writhing, Zhao Hai would have suspected it to be a specimen. There was no flesh on it, and with the green bones, it had a strange beauty in the medium.

At this moment, a notification from the realm came: &Quot; unknown object has entered the space. Scanning completed. The object is a humanoid robot-like offensive poisonous object. It has strong toxins. Extract the toxins and strengthen the poisonous compounds in the space. The program inside the object is too violent and does not meet the requirements of the space. Re-implant the program. The program is successful. As the toxins in the body may affect the humans in the space, the immunity of the humans in the space to the toxins must be strengthened. Dissolve the antidote molecules in the space water. Host and the other humans in the realm, please drink the water as soon as possible.”

Everyone was stunned as they listened to the space’s notification. Grimm and the rest did not know what chemical compounds, robot-like offensive poisonous substances, extraction of toxins, strengthening of the space’s toxic components, and programming mania were mentioned in the space’s notification. It was their first time hearing about these things, so they had no idea what they meant.

They didn’t understand, but Zhao Hai did. However, there were some parts that he didn’t quite understand. He only knew that the realm classified the undead creatures as robot-like creatures, but robots didn’t have to be humanoid. Zhao Hai remembered that many robots on earth had strange shapes, so it wasn’t wrong for the realm to classify this skeleton as a robot-like creature.

First of all, it was just a skeleton. It didn’t have flesh, blood, heart, and didn’t need to breathe, so it couldn’t be considered a living creature. Second, all its actions were controlled by the soul Fire, which was similar to a robot. Robots were mainly controlled by smart chips, so the realm classified this undead creature as a robot.

However, this was a pleasant surprise for Zhao Hai. He didn’t expect the realm to have such an ability. From the notification sound, he could tell that the realm knew that the poison would have a negative effect on the people in the realm, so it extracted the poison from his body and made an antidote. It put the antidote into the water in the space. As long as they drank the water, they wouldn’t have to be afraid of the poison anymore. However, Zhao Hai didn’t understand. What did the space mean by the implantation program? and what did it mean to strengthen the toxic compounds in the space? where did the toxic compounds come from?

However, Zhao Hai also noticed that the skeleton was no longer struggling. It lay there quietly like a specimen, but the green soul Fire in its eyes had turned red.

When Zhao Hai saw the color of the soul Fire, he suddenly had a flash of understanding. He could more or less understand what re-implantation meant.

Replanting the program might have changed the undead creature’s Soul Fire and turned it into one of them. Zhao Hai could tell this from the color of the crocodile skeleton’s Soul Fire because he clearly remembered that the green dots on the screen represented the enemy while the red dots represented their own. This had been verified by Grimm.

Zhao Hai thought about it and decided to give it a try. He turned to Merlin and said, ” “Grandma Merlin, let go of this thing. It might have been changed by space and become ours.”

Merlin was stunned, but she still dispelled her spell. Now that Grimm was by Zhao Hai’s side, it didn’t matter even if this undead creature didn’t join them. With Grimm around, it couldn’t pose any threat to Zhao Hai.

As soon as Merlin’s spell was dispelled, the crocodile skeleton swayed its head and moved closer to Zhao Hai. Although it still looked like a skeleton, it no longer gave off a scary feeling. Instead, it looked like a puppy that was acting cute to its owner.

“Stop right there,” Zhao Hai quickly said. He wasn’t afraid to let this thing get close to him. He hadn’t drunk the antidote water yet. If this thing touched him, he would be poisoned. At the same time, he wanted to try and see if he could command this guy.

Grimm looked at the skeleton nervously. He had already gathered his combat energy and was ready to attack at any time. However, his worry was unnecessary. Zhao Hai gave the order and the skeleton immediately stopped. Although he was still shaking his head, everyone felt that he was a little pitiful.

Zhao Hai patted his head. He didn’t know what to do. He didn’t expect an undead creature to be so demonic. It was just a skeleton, but it could still make people feel this way.

Merlin suddenly spoke. &Quot; Oh my God, it’s a mind-mutated undead creature. Young master, we’ve really picked up a treasure this time. &Quot;

“Grandma Merlin, what’s a spirit-mutated undead creature?” Zhao Hai asked in confusion.

Merlin said, ” &Quot; the spiritual mutant undead creature is a special and terrifying kind of undead creature. Just like humans, undead creatures are also divided into levels. Those who have just become undead creatures are the lowest level. As they live longer, they will become more powerful. If they were magical beasts when they were alive, they will slowly regain their attributes when they were alive after they die. For example, they were poisonous crocodiles in shallow waters when they were alive. When it first became an undead creature, it would only be an ordinary skeleton crocodile. As it existed for a longer time, it would slowly turn into a poison-type skeleton crocodile, which had the same attributes as when it was alive. When it was alive, it might have been a mutated shallow water crocodile with poison and spirit-type attributes. So, after it became an undead creature, it could slowly turn back into an undead creature with these two attributes. It’s the one we’re looking at right now, which is why we can feel the change in his mood. In fact, this is also a type of mental attack.”

Zhao Hai nodded and said,”I see. What if it’s an undead creature in human form?” Don’t tell me that after they die, they will slowly regain their original skills?”

Merlin nodded with a serious expression. &Quot; &Quot; yes, young master is right. If a person was a mage when he was alive, after he becomes an undead creature, he will slowly become an undead creature that knows magic and has the same attributes as when he was alive. Many people on the continent think that as long as it’s an undead creature, it must be of the dark element. In fact, their thinking is wrong. Undead creatures also have various attributes. &Quot;

Zhao Hai looked at the crocodile skeleton. He didn’t expect it to be a treasure. Mental attacks were the scariest attacks on the continent. It was impossible to defend against, and it was also known as the nemesis of magicians. He didn’t expect this thing to have mental attacks. This was a surprise.
