Chapter 144: Undead Cemetery

System: The undead force Baron Sara declared war on your territory and forcibly broke in. After defeating it, War Merit will be doubled.

Usually, after a declaration of war, for fairness, the invaded side would have a choice of when to start the battle. This was to avoid consecutive battles and give the invaded side some buffer time.

However, when the invader violated this principle and broke in forcefully, there was a penalty. Within the invaded territory, the forcible intruder had all attributes reduced by 30%.

Boom~

A dull impact sound came from under Sweetwater Lake, and Xu Feng received a warning from the System in his mind.

System: The building Iron Fence in Village of Sacrifice was attacked. Health Points decreased by 756.

System: The building Iron Fence in Village of Sacrifice was attacked. Health Points decreased by 890.

System: The building Iron Fence in Village of Sacrifice was attacked. Health Points decreased by 1300.

…

Xu Feng was shocked. The fence, which had a defense of 300 and 20,000 Health Points, was destroyed in less than three minutes.

Baron Sara shot out of the water with a whoosh, floating in mid-air, and laughed wildly without restraint.

“You thought hiding here would let you escape the judgment of death? How naive…” Baron Sara screamed fiercely.

Ang~

A clear dragon roar echoed in the sky. The Flood Dragon would not let any intruder go. While Baron Sara attacked the fence, the Flood Dragon had already emerged from its nest and stood ready. The moment Baron Sara surfaced, the Flood Dragon dashed toward him like an arrow released from a bow.

“Get lost, you worm!” Baron Sara roared angrily and swung a claw at the Flood Dragon.

Pfft~

A fierce Dragon Breath sprayed toward Baron Sara. The two Three-Star Lord Rank monsters fought fiercely.

“Big brother, can the Guardian Beast win?” Ding Xiang had already summoned two Skeletal Knights to guard nearby and asked with some worry.

This was the last line of defense. Once the Flood Dragon failed, she and Xu Feng would be no match for Baron Sara.

“No problem. Both are Three-Star Lords, but Baron Sara has lost its energy source, and its attributes are reduced by 30%. It’s definitely not a match for the Guardian Beast.” Although a bit nervous, Xu Feng calmly analyzed.

As Baron Sara forcibly broke in, the penalty was that the moment it stepped out of Sweetwater Lake, all its attributes were reduced by 30%. Only by leaving the territory of Village of Sacrifice would this negative status disappear.

In his past life, when the Flood Dragon fought against the Death Fortress force, the undead force represented by Death Fortress had already spread to Black Water Lake. The Flood Dragon was forced to fight back. At that time, all monsters from Death Fortress were at full state. Even then, after the Flood Dragon wiped them out, it did not die immediately but was severely injured and taken advantage of by others.

Now, the Flood Dragon was dealing with just a Baron Sara with reduced attributes by 30%. Although it was strenuous, it should only cost the Flood Dragon some minor injuries to kill it.

Sure enough, when the Flood Dragon’s Health Points dropped by half and it suffered a foul-smelling wound over three feet long on its abdomen, Baron Sara’s Health Points emptied.

“Death is not the end. The power of the undead calamity…” Baron Sara lay on the ground, its right hand trembling as it reached toward Xu Feng. The light in its blood-red eyes gradually faded, as if muttering to itself or speaking to Xu Feng.

Baron Sara’s hand trembled as it raised to its highest point, then suddenly fell.

Boom~

A gray flame enveloped Baron Sara’s body, burning fiercely.

Watching Baron Sara turn into a pile of ashes, Xu Feng let out a long sigh and finally felt relieved.

The moment Baron Sara turned to ashes, the ruins of Death Fortress began to tremble slightly.

Boom~

The rubble covering the castle ruins exploded in all directions. A Shirin Race female named Yasell, wearing close-fitting armor, with a pair of pure white wings on her back, holding a sword in one hand and a shield in the other, walked out from the ruins.

“This is actually an alien planet.” Yasell frowned slightly and muttered to herself: “It’s too far from the Shirin Race galaxy. With my power alone, I cannot cross such a vast distance.”

“The will of this planet seems to have just awakened. There definitely isn’t an interstellar Teleportation Array built yet…”

Yasell looked up at the sky, her eyes filled with deep nostalgia.

After a long while, Yasell sighed, flapped her wings, and flew toward Village of Sacrifice.

On the surface where Baron Sara turned to ashes, a glowing Fate Treasure Chest appeared.

Xu Feng walked over and opened it.

A building construction Scroll emitting gray energy appeared before Xu Feng.

“Name: Building Blueprint Undead Cemetery (Upgradable). Attribute: Build an Undead Cemetery within the camp. Undead Cemetery: Can bury biological remains, increase camp residents’ satisfaction, camp environment index +15. Hidden Attribute 1: Randomly produces one Undead Warrior per day, capacity limit: 0/1000; Hidden Attribute 2: Recovers 10% Health Points of Undead Creatures per hour; Hidden Attribute 3: Undead Creatures contained in the cemetery can gradually become stronger over time. Note: When building the cemetery, try to stay away from the city center, residential areas, etc. Otherwise, unpredictable disasters may occur.”

Undead Cemetery?

Xu Feng was startled. This was a standard undead race building. If built in Village of Sacrifice, it could affect other villagers’ favorability.

However, after Xu Feng carefully examined the Undead Cemetery’s attributes, he felt a stir in his heart.

Although the Undead Cemetery retained the characteristics of undead race buildings and could transform Undead Warriors, it also had a certain deceptive quality.

On the surface, it looked like an ordinary cemetery. Even camps of other races needed cemeteries to bury the deceased.

Moreover, it increased camp residents’ satisfaction and the environment index—attributes that only ordinary cemeteries had.

Most importantly, even if transformed into Undead Warriors, they would not run around but stay in the cemetery, so they wouldn’t scare other residents.

“This building is pretty good. My babies finally have a place to recover Health Points.” Ding Xiang peeked over with her small head and said happily.

Xu Feng smiled slightly and decided to construct this building, just paying attention to build it far from the village.

Besides this building blueprint, a Three-Star Gold Grade undead staff and several Attribute Gems were also obtained from the treasure chest.

The staff’s attributes were much better than the silver-grade sickle in Ding Xiang’s hand, so it was naturally assigned to her. The Attribute Gems were split equally between them.

System: All enemies attacking Village of Sacrifice were eliminated. Village of Sacrifice achieved victory. Xu Feng obtained 2,000 War Points. Because the opponent forcibly broke in, War Merit was doubled. Xu Feng obtained 4,000 War Merit.
