Daisy shook her head. Suddenly, a strong wind swept from the center of the town to the surrounding areas. The violent shock wave completely destroyed the surrounding houses. Lu Yan hurriedly hid behind a house and confirmed the situation with Lamia through telepathy.

In the main battlefield, Lamia spread her wings and flew in the air holding an energy spear. She did not rush to attack, but sent the city guardians and Klop bionics to attack the powerful undead creatures.

After her confirmation, there were a total of 5 gold-level creatures in the city, two of whom handed over two cards, and three surrounded her.

"Construct? What on earth are you and your master doing here!?"

A lich whose only solid body is its head, and whose other parts are made of energy, besides it, there is also a giant stitched corpse and a vampire standing in front of Lamia.

Their intuition told them that the smallest construct in front of them was the most dangerous.

At the gold level, if one does not deliberately hide their energy, most people can detect whether the enemy is stronger or weaker than themselves through the dissipated energy.

Lamia didn't bother to answer. She looked at the surrounding gold-level monsters with disdain, grabbed her spear and took a fighting stance. The three undead creatures immediately prepared themselves, but before they could launch a defense, Lamia disappeared in front of them.

The vampire with the fastest reaction speed and the strongest dynamic vision only saw a flash of blue and gold. She couldn't help but widen her eyes and was about to open her mouth to warn when the lich's passive defense shield was activated.

The spear hit the shield without stopping. Lamia launched a rapid slash, just like she did before in the basement of the magic academy. Before the lich could chant the spell, she cut through the shield and smashed its head.

The negative energy that shaped the lich's body dissipated, and Lamia turned her gaze towards the vampire. The spear transformed into two long swords, and the energy wings behind her completely erupted.

An armored angel traveling at a speed exceeding the speed of sound flashed past her, its graceful body shattered into pieces. The vampire looked surprised, not even able to see how the enemy's "construct" made its move.

After a brief pause, Lamia made a sword flower and fell sideways. Her two swords merged into a giant sword and slashed down at the giant corpse with thick skin and flesh.

Klopp's bionic robot aimed at his enemy in the air, knocked it down and embedded it into the ground, and immediately launched a turret bombardment. The previous impact was caused by the bionic robot, and the city guardian swung his Guandao forward.

The three of them quickly cleared out the enemies in front of them. Lu Yan, who got the news, brought Daisy over. Lu Yan tried to reach out and turn the five corpses into golden cards, but encountered strong resistance.

For Lu Yan's card-forming ability, these monsters are not dead, nor are they willing to become his cards, so they cannot be turned into cards.

"Daisy, take their souls."

Lu Yan commanded that as for the deeper worldview of this world, it can be learned by reading books, and Lamia is able to organize the data.

The ghost girl nodded, and her scythe dropped towards the bodies of the five undead creatures. Their souls, without any energy protection and weak in nature, were immediately swept in.

The lich's pupils shrank slightly, and before being completely sucked in, he screamed: "Death, death!!"

After the soul was sucked away, Lu Yan used his card-transforming ability again. This time, he was no longer hindered. At the same time, due to the improvement of Lu Yan's soul energy, the speed of change also accelerated, and finally a golden card appeared in his hand.

Sure enough, in other worlds, turning monsters into cards is the best way to obtain summons, at least if you want to obtain cards of gold level or above.

Lu Yan nodded with satisfaction. Compared with the card domain, the biggest advantage of the card master coming to the other world is actually the targeted cardization of items.

For example, the vampire in front of him, Lu Yan turned him completely into a card. In fact, he could take off his clothes and simply turn the clothes and equipment into cards, which is very free.

He had done experiments in the mechanical world. He removed the equipment and turned a dead creature into a card. The creature would become a blank slate, with only a physical body and the basic abilities carried by the soul, but no equipment.

After collecting the remaining four bodies killed by his cards, Lu Yan took Daisy and three golden cards and wreaked havoc in the city, killing almost all the undead creatures. This time they were really dead.

In order to hide her identity, Daisy wore a hood, but Lamia and Lu Yan were very conspicuous. This was also to create a sense of contrast, so that other undead creatures who were aware of this matter would focus their attention on the "Five-Man Group".

After Lu Yan leaves, Daisy, who is alone, will not be too conspicuous.

Chapter 191 Gathering intelligence.

While exterminating the undead creatures, some elderly people who were dying discovered Daisy's ability and knelt on the ground begging the ghost girl for death. They really didn't want to live anymore.

That’s right, there are still living old people here, and no one knows why they are alive. I guess they are useful to some spellcasters.

Daisy, wrapped in black mist, didn't hesitate at all. She swung her scythe straight down, taking away all those who should die, regardless of good or evil, and regardless of whether they were willing or not. The malice in the scarlet deputy's eyes calmed down for a moment.

She looked around while covered in black mist. She knew that without the ability to instantly kill a large area of the undead, she couldn't kill all of them. She turned to Lu Yan and said:

"Master, let's go quickly."

"……it is good."

Daisy confirmed his real existence, and her favorability successfully broke through 70, which further improved Lu Yan's basic attributes. Just as he recovered, he turned around and fled the crime scene with his cards, leaving only the screaming undead creatures.

After they were far away from the town, Lu Yan relaxed a little and collected the other cards, leaving only Lamia. The girl patted her armor and turned it into a maid skirt, and her appearance returned to its original state.

When she committed murder and arson before, she also changed her appearance. Unless it was some unreasonable cause-and-effect tracking magic, even if someone retraced the scene later, they would not be able to find them.

After choosing Daisy's [Death Mist] and dressing himself up as an undead creature, Lu Yan and his two daughters walked on the muddy land and took out the remaining 19 Soul Gems:

"Daisy, you should need these Soul Gems now. Eat them quickly. They are probably what you need most right now. Do you need anything else?"

Looking at the raw stone in Lu Yan's hand, the ghost girl took out the big piece from before. She had not even finished eating this piece of soul raw stone since the battle. The glowing stone did not seem to be damaged much from the outside.

"Master, it takes me about a day to use a piece of raw stone. I'm afraid it won't be that fast."

She lowered her head in shame, then thought carefully for a moment, her eyes vacant. "As for the other things... they do exist."

Glancing into the distance, Daisy gently shook her long silver-white hair mixed with black, and pointed in the direction with a sad look on her face:

"While traveling with my companions, I discovered something in a certain city that attracted me. As my strength grew, the attraction became stronger and stronger."

But in order to protect them, Daisy never chose to leave, but she never expected that this would happen in the end.

"Then let's go back and take a look. I'll absorb the soul energy as I go. By the way, do you have other friends in this world? Is there anyone I can help with?"

Lu Yan rubbed Daisy's hair and cheeks lovingly. The small, fragrant, cool girl nodded and said, "That city is called [Corpse Puppet City]. There are several necromancers there who have helped me, but I don't want to trouble them."

"Then let's not go to them and do it ourselves."

But something attracted Daisy. To be honest, no one knew her story before her death. Could it be related to her life?

Lu Yan turned his head and looked at Lamia. The mechanical girl understood Lu Yan's expression and tilted her head with a smile: "Master, the information is insufficient at the moment. It would be best to find a library for me to read some history and biological information."

He left as soon as he said he would. Lu Yan summoned his means of transportation [Engineering Machinery Vulcan Type 3] and paraded through the city with this giant centipede, making a lot of noise.

The forest and the wilderness were filled with demented undead creatures and crazy zombies, but they had no intention of attacking the three people. Lu Yan was wrapped in the survivors and did not emit the breath of the living. They were not very interested in the undead creatures.

As for the strong people with reason, they could see the power of the construct, but they just watched from afar and nodded, with no intention of getting closer. Everyone was indifferent.

According to Lamia's detection, there are a large number of harmful components floating in the air of this world, more and more active bacteria and viruses, excess oxygen, and excessive hydrogen sulfide concentration. In short, it will cause certain harm to Lu Yan's health.

They are just immortal, not "incorruptible". After a few days, it can be confirmed that a corpse without a soul will decay faster, while a corpse with a soul will decay and age at a slower rate, but corresponding symptoms will still appear.

Giant plants and formed fungal entities also have souls, but viruses and bacteria do not. Therefore, there are many tall and rotten trees here, and many mushrooms are in a similar situation.

What is basically certain is that in this world dominated by souls, the problem of "corruption but not death" lies in the soul. There is no god of death and no rules to restrain and control the soul.

Speaking of the god of death, Lu Yan couldn't help but look at the ghost in his arms through the mechanical girl. The current posture was that he was holding Lamia, and Lamia was holding Daisy.

Scythe, cloak, black mist...

Isn't this a perfect Grim Reaper outfit? Could Daisy become the Grim Reaper in the future? Loli Grim Reapers are pretty popular too.

After carefully playing with and savoring the ghost girl for about five days, they arrived at another huge town, the Corpse Puppet City.

Lu Yan put away the God of Fire and walked into the town with the two of them. The skeleton soldiers with soul fire flashing in their eyes served as city guards, collecting fees for entering and leaving the town at the city gate, and at the same time driving away the crazy monsters that tried to enter the town and kill living people.

In short, it is weird no matter how you look at it. The undead creatures raise living creatures, but also become the umbrella of protection for the living creatures.

“This world has really gone crazy.”

Lu Yan sighed, and together with Lamia, he pretended to be a construct and stood behind Daisy, as if she was the real master.

"Is there anything big happening in the city lately?"

Daisy took out two small bottles of soul ash and placed them in the skeleton's hands. Soul fire flickered in the skeleton's eyes, and the energy fluctuations transformed into sound, which was transmitted into the minds of the three people. Without a voice, it was speaking:

"Ma'am, there are two things. One is that a ruin was discovered in the city. It contains a huge amount of negative energy. It is suspected to be the resting place of a powerful undead creature."

"The second is that the terrifying giant zombie tree is growing stronger, and the Corpse Council is preparing to send adventurers to deal with it."

Lu Yan looked up at the sky and saw a towering tree that reached the sky thousands of meters away from the town, completely blocking out the sun.

To the naked eye, what makes up it is not the bark or trunk in the ordinary sense, but a bunch of dull human faces.

Daisy mentioned that the "Living Tree" is essentially a substitute for [sleep]. All living creatures whose lives are worse than death can only choose to merge into the tree. Their souls will also be joined in and lose all consciousness.

As to whether it is true sleep or death, no one knows.

Chapter 192 [The World is Dying]

After paying the entrance fee, the three of them discussed and decided to go to the library. After all, there was no way they could get normal food in this city, as even most of the lower-level undead creatures ate "synthetic vitality".

It was a pool of living, vital meat paste, filled with inferior vitality. According to Daisy, this thing was developed by a lich.

Most undead creatures need to devour vitality to maintain their sanity, and a small number need to devour soul energy. There is no need to worry about soul energy, but vitality is a problem.

As it became increasingly difficult for living things to survive in the world, and there were fewer and fewer things that could provide life force, the Lich, in order to ensure that it had enough people at the bottom to control, chose to join the cruel work and transform the life force of trees into flesh and blood.

For zombies, vampires and other undead creatures, this thing is extremely unpalatable and can barely fill their stomachs.

The food for humans is not very good either. Most of it is just porridge to maintain nutrition for human activities. Even living necromancers can't eat much. In short, delicious food is very scarce and not as good as the liquid food provided by the [Survivor] armor.

Arriving at the gloomy library, Lu Yan spent a few bottles of soul ashes to enter. It was cleaner than he had expected. Except for some flesh and blood books, most of them were ordinary paper products.

In order to prevent them from being eroded too quickly, energy was added to the books, and the entire library was enveloped in the universal energy "magic" of this world.

The three of them came to the historical area and began to look through the massive books there, obtaining important information.

Some mythological stories are also in the history area, which can indeed serve as materials to help people understand history. Lu Yan searched for a book called "The True Record of the Founding of Corpse Puppet City" and a book called "The Immortal Era" which sounded like a novel, and started reading them while sitting at the desk.

This world is called Conoir. The [Undead Era] refers to the era after the Undead Disaster. The first day of the first year is the day when the disaster and the accompanying disasters occur. Up to now, a full 412 years have passed.

On the day of the disaster, the sky and the earth were dark, and the bright sun hanging in the sky dimmed permanently. If the brightness before was 10, the brightness now was only 5.

According to some church members, it was on that day that problems arose with the deity, which completely cut off contact with all pastors and has remained missing to this day.

The only thing that mortals knew was that countless meteors fell that day, causing more devastating disasters, such as tsunamis, fires, plagues... one after another. It took more than ten years for the disasters to completely disappear.

It was also from that day that the "living dead" appeared. This is just a general term, including humans, animals, magical creatures, dwarves, elves... all living things.

The spellcasters sensed something was wrong. As people with high intelligence and high perception, they immediately began to investigate the cause of the disaster and each of them gained something.

The priests who believed in God spent two years to confirm the "fall" of all the gods. The meteors were their bodies, but they were still alive. The kingdom of God turned into a seal that bound them, unable to die or be destroyed.

The disaster two years ago is now known as the "Zombie Gods"

The wizard spent five years gradually confirming the growth of negative energy and the seriousness of the problem of the living dead. He was fully prepared for necromancy and immortality, and knew that he and others could no longer pursue immortality.

However, druids and priests who believed in the laws of the world themselves discovered a more critical problem 15 years later.

The world is dead, but not completely dead. It is stuck there, neither going up nor down. The starting time is exactly the period when the gods fell.

It is now that the name of the disaster 15 years ago has been revised and its academic name is -

The World is Dying

To be honest, when they discovered that the world was about to die, the entire continent fell into chaos. However, the chaos did not last long, because after two years, they found that the signs of death in the entire world showed no sign of deepening.

The world has also become a half-dead state and is permanently fixed here, only becoming more and more obsolete without any signs of destruction.

412 years passed like this, and the structure of the continent changed dramatically, with the biggest change happening to the spellcasters.

Priests and druids have changed. They no longer pray to gods and the world, but instead pray to their own hearts and cast spells according to their own will.

As magic and elements gradually became corrupted and decayed, the power of necromancy was greatly enhanced, the necromancy gradually became the mainstream, and necromancers began to rise to high positions.

Goodness disappeared and evil became the mainstream. After a period of chaos, the wizards who turned into undead creatures established a new order, protected the last few living things, and made the undead creatures the mainstream.

At this point, the positions of the living and the undead were reversed, with the living humanoids becoming a precious food source and a rare species, and the undead taking the place of humans.

Just reading the text made Lu Yan sigh, after all, he had not experienced the great changes personally.

He picked up the Records of Corpse Puppet City and looked through it. The city was actually founded before the year 0 of the Undead Era. At that time, it was not called Corpse Puppet City, but was called Arrow Sunflower City. It was said to be a very beautiful place with sunflowers covering the mountains and fields.

Later, as the number of undead creatures increased, after experiencing a catastrophe, it was used as a stronghold by a powerful corpse puppet and eventually became what it is today. That corpse puppet was also an undead creature before the Undead Era.

"So, the disaster was caused by the gods' half-death state."

Lu Yan seemed to be lost in thought. Daisy was silent, her eyes were dazed, and her floating body felt weightless. She was not reading. Lamia kept flipping through the books and did not respond to her card master.

She noticed something was wrong.

After more than two hours, Lamia finished reading all the books in the history section. Sitting at her desk, a large amount of data flashed through her eyes, her brows gradually furrowed, and she whispered:

"I'm afraid it's not that simple. It's not the half-dead state of the gods. Look here."

Lamia took a copy of "Record of Changes in the Church of Death" and a copy of "History of the Development of the Living Dead", flipped through the required parts and pointed them to Lu Yan and Daisy. The two were slightly stunned.

The book says that the [Plague of the Living Dead] did not appear after the fall of the gods. A similar disaster occurred 200 years ago and lasted for a whole year.

A year later, the living dead suddenly died and their bodies gradually rotted away.
