"How could this happen?" The vampire witch looked confused. She looked at the bottle in her hand, which is a container used by the underworld to absorb human souls.
There are sporadic strands of blood-red 'power of humanity' stored in it - but this is only the 'power of humanity' that was collected sporadically during the wave of raids three days ago.
Today, the human race below that was officially confronting the undead in the underworld fell in batches.
But from beginning to end, not a single ray of ‘power of humanity’ was absorbed.
"Is there something wrong with the container in my hand?" The red-haired vampire witch thought of this and immediately contacted her companions in her group to ask about their current situation.
Just when she was connected to her companions, the six companions almost spoke in unison and asked the same question - the containers in their hands could not absorb even half a ray of 'power of humanity'. He obviously watched the humans below fall and die, but the power of humanity seemed to have been cut off.
"Contact the Ancestral Envoy immediately... In addition, slow down the advancement of the army, and try not to harvest a large number of human lives until this problem is solved." The blonde vampire witch No. 1 tried to stay calm.
This kind of matter is no longer something that the seven undead witches can decide, and they must report it to the ancestor.
Maybe someone is really trying to cut off the power of humanity.
......
......
Far away in the center of the underworld, the ancestral envoy who was carefully guarding Xu Qiji's skeleton trumpet received an urgent message from the vampire witch. After a quick breath, the skull's face wrinkled and its brows furrowed.
Is there another problem in the human oasis?
Three days ago it was the giants who secretly caused the trip. Who is it this time?
"Is it the giants who are causing trouble again?" The messenger of the Underworld had a murderous look on his face, but he soon shook his head gently.
It can’t be a giant. Although the giant clan has not found any trace of the ‘little green giant’, other apology gifts have been sent, and their attitude is very sincere.
The giants are indeed frantically searching for traces of the 'little green giant', and they are not acting.
As for the 'Sword of Humanity', the Giants have always been the big brother of the Nine Realms. They are the ones who enthusiastically promote the smooth development of the 'Sword of Humanity' plan every time. There is no need for them to secretly carry out the plan. Cold trip.
"I'll be there right away." The messenger of the Ancestor of the Underworld stood up and pushed open the door to space... Before leaving, he looked tenderly at the skeleton trumpet lurking in the lava underground.
"Take good care of the lava space, and absolutely do not allow any accidents to happen to the reincarnation of the Ancestor of the Underworld." The envoy of the Ancestor of the Underworld gave the order to his most loyal personal guards, and escaped into the door of the space. disappeared in.
……
……
In the oasis of the underworld.
At the center, ordinary humans were placed in a refuge camp. Everyone was crowded into a small refuge space and could only pray in secret every day.
ButAt this time, they didn't even have a target to pray to - in the past, the object of their prayers could be the 'Forest of Life', which protected them from the intrusion of the undead in the underworld.
And now, the Forest of Life has been lost. Ordinary humans don’t even know who to pray to. But there was nothing they could do except pray.
Even if they are not afraid of death and are willing to take up arms to resist the undead, the Guardian Legion will not let them go to the front line. They can only increase the number of undead cannon fodder and increase the pressure on the Guardian Legion.
"Can we survive?" The green-haired girl, Little Amber, hugged the flowerpot in her arms - for some reason, she subconsciously didn't want to put this flowerpot.
She clung to the flowerpot like a life-saving straw.
In the small hole at the bottom of the flower pot, Wu Jue's long roots quietly penetrate into the ground, absorbing the vitality of the oasis land. The soil here is delicious, full of vitality, and has good reviews~
As a reward for bringing her to eat such delicious soil, at least Little Amber and her family will have to find a way to pack it up and take it away safely.
"Will we be exterminated by the undead this time?" Little Amber held the flower pot and said to herself.
"Death is just the beginning of another life form. Even if you die, mom and dad will still love you." Father's big hand gently touched little Amber's head and comforted him.
While he was talking, the door to space at the edge of the oasis opened, and the eight-armed figure of the Messenger of the Underworld appeared again.
When it appeared this time, it was full of momentum, and huge power surged out from his thin body, spreading to the entire oasis world - the messenger of the underworld wanted to give the people who might be lurking in the oasis. A little pressure on those who cut off their beards can be considered a warning.
If there is really someone hiding in the oasis to intercept the "power of humanity" that the underworld wants to collect, then after the warning, it will take action with all its strength!
The momentum of the messenger of Hades was overwhelming, and the sky above the oasis was affected by the emotions of the messenger of Hades. Dark clouds gathered densely, and a heavy sense of oppression fell on every human heart.
While the 'ancestor' is sleeping, the messenger can exercise some authority and law power on behalf of the ancestor. If he is willing, not to mention the sky above the oasis, even the entire sky above the underworld can be affected by his emotions.
The human camp was silent, too scared to make a sound.
The gap in realm is too big. The human race in the oasis is restricted from ascending and cannot improve their realm. Except for those who are naturally strong-willed, most ordinary people are directly oppressed and fall to their knees. Many people He immediately lost consciousness and fell to the ground in a coma.

"Move forward again and attack in an all-out manner." After spreading his momentum all over the oasis, the Hades envoy reached out and took the container from the vampire witch.
With the permission of ‘ancestor’, it can sense the entire oasis range. Next, no matter which position is green, if someone dares to take action,The power of humanity’, you can never escape its perception!
After receiving the order, the undead army below moved forward and fought together with the elite guardian army of the human race.
The battle is like a meat grinder, strangling both sides in the battle.
Undead and human warriors continued to fall.
The Dark Ancestor envoy activated the magic weapon in his hand, trying to absorb the 'power of humanity'... But even if it activated it with his own hands, there was not a trace of 'power of humanity' in the human camp below. Be absorbed!
Moreover, no one has the power to stop humanity!
"How could this happen?" This was also the first time that the messenger of the Ancestor of the Underworld encountered such a thing.
He carefully looked at the battlefield below, staring at the fallen human warriors. After a while, the skin on the Ming Ancestor's brow was almost broken.
[The power of humanity is locked in the human corpse? ] It discovered that even after being beheaded and fell to the ground and losing their breath of life, there was no trace of 'power of humanity' flowing out of these human warriors.
And...these human warriors were not transformed into undead soldiers after their death!
In previous wars with the human race, the human warriors died while being transformed into various levels of undead creatures.
But this time, the human warrior lay quietly on the ground after his death, motionless.
【What's going on? 】The messenger of Ming Ancestor reached out and grabbed the body of a human warrior with a missing head out of thin air, and held it in his hand.
It senses carefully.
You can be 100% sure that this human warrior is dead.
"Could it be that humans have evolved?" the messenger of the Ancestor of the Underworld murmured.
Human beings are rare creatures with strong adaptability. As long as they are given time, they can adapt to almost all kinds of harsh environments and evolve the ability to take root and survive.
Have these humans evolved resistance to undead spells and will not become undead after death? Will the ‘power of humanity’ be harvested yet?
How can this be broken?
Is it necessary to move the sword-refining field directly and throw living humans into it?
If you do this, a batch of undead warrior resources will be lost. Moreover, there is no guarantee whether this method is feasible.
While the messenger of Mingzu was thinking, a sudden change occurred below.
In the vanguard of the undead army, there were sudden bursts of screams - very miserable ones, so miserable that hearing the screams would move people to tears.
Accompanied by this scream that penetrated deeply into the soul, a blazing flame suddenly burst into flames in the middle of the undead army.
The flames soared into the sky, burning everything around them that could be burned...including all kinds of undead.
There are many varieties of undead creatures that are very suitable for becoming fuel. For example, fat suture monsters full of grease, such as will-o'-the-wisps, such as kerosene skeleton archers.
These undead souls cannot be harmed by ordinary flames. butEven if they are lit by unusual flames, they are difficult to extinguish. It belongs to the kind that won't stop if you don't burn it, and you can't stop once it burns.
The flames soared into the sky and turned into pillars of flame.
Each flame pillar can clear out the undead vanguard troops in a small area.
The Messenger of the Underworld: "???"
It looked through the flames and stared at the core of the flames. After a while, it discovered that the core of the flame was actually the dead human corpses?
"What's going on?"
"Why did the pillar of flame suddenly explode and someone was casting a spell?"
"Is it a flame magician? Human race Is there such a magician among us?"
"This flame cannot be extinguished!"
The undead camp was in chaos.
The vampire witch in charge also quickly noticed the human corpses in the pillar of fire, and quickly waved the vanguard to avoid the human corpses.
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh .
Their flesh was quickly burned into a charcoal shape, full of cracks, and the heat of the flames continued to emerge from their bodies.
After extreme pain, these humans were reborn and became the Ashers.
The first time they became Ashers, they were not confused... only furious. They grabbed the weapons around them. No matter what kind of weapons they were, as long as they were held in their hands, they would be engulfed in a layer of eternal flames.
The newly born Ashers are not protected by armor and have poor defense, but in contrast, the flames on their bodies will not be suppressed and rage in all directions.
Having died once, they pounce on the undead around them without fear of death.
When the weapons of the undead hit, they could chop down the newly born Asher to the ground or even smash them into pieces.
However, in the blink of an eye, the ashes and charcoal on the ground can regroup into human form, holding weapons and shouting to attack.
"Immortal life?" The eyes of the messenger of the Underworld were filled with doubts.
These Ashers are very consistent with the characteristics of ‘undead creatures’. If they hadn't been madly attacking the undead army, based on their appearance and their "immortality", they could be classified as a kind of "undead".
[Is this why we cannot draw the ‘power of humanity’ from them? Why can't they be transformed into undead soldiers? 】The messenger of Mingzu quickly guessed this.
But why do good human beings suddenly transform into such weird undead monsters after death?
Is this really the evolution of human beings?
"Ancestor, what should we do? Should we let the vanguard army spread and let the undead elites behind them come on?" the vampire witch asked.
The Undead Vanguard Army is just cannon fodder, so it will go back and forth with ordinary human legions. But those in the back are all undead of level 3 or above.
TheseThe undead can suppress even the undead Embers.
The corpse of the human warrior in the hands of the Underworld Envoy also mutated and turned into an 'asher', with blazing flames burning along the Underworld Envoy's arms.
However, this level of flames cannot harm the messenger of the Underworld Ancestor at all.
"Drive all the undead barbecue monsters into an area and seal them together. I will deal with them." After a brief study of the Ashbringer in his hand, the messenger of the Underworld figured out a plan to deal with it.
These monsters possess powerful 'immortality'. Even if they are chopped into pieces and melted into liquid with the power of the underworld, they can still be reborn from the ashes.
Although its combat power is not strong, it is very difficult and disgusting to deal with.
The most suitable way to deal with them is to seal...
"In addition, press the elite army to kill these human warriors as quickly as possible. After killing them, Let the low-level undead carry these corpses to the rear and gather them together. I want to see whether these mutations are partial mutations or collective mutations." The Mingzu messenger issued one order.
If it is a partial mutation, it is easier to deal with. If the entire human race mutates, it will be troublesome. The casting process of their ‘Sword of Humanity’ in the underworld will have to be delayed.
"Yes, Ancestor." The vampire witch conveyed the order.
The elite undead from the underworld took action... The human warriors were killed and injured at an accelerated rate. The speed of falling has changed from 'human harvesting' to 'large mechanical harvesting'.
Faced with such a desperate situation, the human warriors were not afraid at all - they also saw the scene where the fallen corpses of their previous companions turned into ashes.
Although they didn’t know what was going on, a clear realization came to their minds - they would also end up in that state after death!
Ten thousand, one hundred thousand, one million, ten million... In a very short period of time, nearly half of the elite guard army of the human race was wiped out.
As many human warriors fell as many Ash warriors stood up.
As the number of Ash Warriors reached a certain level, Xu Qiji's body, far away in the world of 713, suddenly appeared red lines on his back.
Like a tattoo, like a cloud of burning fire on the body of an Ash Warrior.
The nine ancestors of the nine realms, each ancestor represents a powerful camp and civilization, and there will only be one 'ancestor' in each camp. There will never be a situation where two ancestors co-rule the same clan. . This seems to be some kind of supreme rule of the Nine Realms.
At this time, Xu Qiji’s body seemed to have touched the rules of the Nine Realms. The 'Ash Clan' that was born from his blood was recognized as a clan, and as the source of the nine realms of the Ash Clan, he became the 'Ashes Ancestor', as Teacher Ash had guessed at the time, for the origin of a potential race. .
