Chapter 248: Chapter 248: The Man-Made Corpse Swamp

Fang Jie appeared at the center of Quisha Island, precisely where they had relocated Kui Sha Town.

At this very moment, Fang Hao had already been waiting for a while, knowing that Fang Jie would probably come.

"Fang Hao, what exactly is the situation? Is it true that there is a soul crystal vein?" This was crucial to his strategic arrangement and military development, and Fang Jie could not afford to take it lightly.

If it were true, according to the output, Fang Jie would need to mobilize a massive amount of resources to create a Skeleton Conversion Field.

Fang Hao nodded eagerly and handed over some documents, "It’s been confirmed, indeed it’s true, only that the exact amount is unclear." These were deciphered from the data left by the previous Quisha Island Master.

The zombies here had a strange method of recordkeeping, but since most undead didn’t think much, the person responsible for recording did little, and most of it was trivial.

From files recorded over the years, Fang Hao had barely managed to find some useful ones.

After all, with fewer records but many years of accumulation, there were a large number of documents. If the Island Masters here hadn’t valued culture, desiring to learn from other races, such documents wouldn’t have been preserved.

Fang Jie looked at these fragmented documents pieced together and felt a headache coming on.

It was truly hard on Fang Hao to have organized these documents.

Even because the texts were different and messy, some information was guessed during the organization process.

"Because this place has been under zombie control for many years, the local Island Master kept buying and plundering various living spirits, conducting sacrificial slaughters and various ceremonies here, so over time, a great amount of soul force accumulated here."

"Regrettably, the previous Island Master used ceremonies to prevent resentful spirits from evolving, and as a result, these soul forces began to accumulate, gradually forming soul crystal veins underground."

"And then? What did they do with these soul crystal veins?"

It seemed that soul crystals weren’t very useful for ordinary people.

"Soul crystals are only needed by demons and a few other camps, but they don’t sell them here. Soul crystals can help the undead enhance their strength, most of which were used by the previous Island Master himself, with a few gifted to his subordinates, most were left unused."

"In areas where the soul crystal veins formed, they used special methods to contaminate and dissolved a large number of corpses, turning it into a swamp. Normally, it’s guarded and mined by rotting corpses."

Fang Hao placed a soul crystal in front of Fang Jie, "This was found in our warehouse, enough to prove that the soul crystal veins here are probably real."

Fang Jie glanced at it and knew it was genuine, "What are your thoughts then, how should we handle this?"

"My idea is to take it over and then build a mining field, so we’ll have a constant supply of soul crystals."

This coincided with his own thoughts—if it were just a portion of soul crystals, once used, that would be it. But creating a mining field meant a continuous supply. Looking long-term, the benefits were much greater than simply draining it at once.

The local Island Master hadn’t been able to do this before, perhaps even suppressing his subordinates to prevent them from exceeding themselves. But for Fang Jie, a Lord with an innate ability as Lord’s Cottage, there was no need to worry about this at all.

Being a Lord with the innate ability as Lord’s Cottage, his advantage was much greater than those of the native Lords. Previously, Fang Jie hadn’t realized this, but as he continued to develop, he gradually discovered it.

If not for this, the power of some local Lords from long ago wouldn’t have been so weak.

"Also, prepare to replace the Corpse Swamp with our own rotten corpses and infectors, this way we can better protect that area. Afterwards, building a Gathering Spirit Tower there will definitely make it a top resource site."

"That’s a good plan, though just a bit disgusting."

Fang Hao spoke indifferently, "Though disgusting, you just have to not go there."

Fang Hao couldn’t understand what feeling disgusting was, but he knew what situations would make Fang Jie, the Lord, feel disgusted. Besides, if there’s no need to go there, why bother? Watching something one dislikes seemed problematic.

"You are right, but I still have to go and see it for the first time."

Fang Jie thought about it and ultimately decided that he had to make a trip personally.

"By the way, do you know the origin of those Golden Giant Elephants?"

"Yes, there used to be a territory here a long time ago, which was overtaken by the previous Island Master. However, their control was poor and resources seemed scarce, hence only a few were produced."

The development of the undead was greatly restricted by special resources.

But only so little had been developed after unknown years, which was unexpected to Fang Jie.

"However, their territory has a Territory Lock, thus it can’t be occupied," Fang Hao continued to explain.

"These Lords who had developed for an unknown number of years, their main territories indeed all have such troublesome stuff," Fang Jie gave up immediately. With a Territory Lock, the only option was destruction.

At least for now, he had no means to deal with the lock issue.

Afterward, Fang Jie began to mobilize his forces here, then personally went to dismantle it. Unfortunately, no valuable items were obtained, just a bit of resources.

The most-desired production blueprints for the Golden Giant Elephant, he hadn’t even seen a trace.

Such items were incredibly powerful ground combat forces, unlike the comprehensive combat power of Grave Guardian Demon Spiders. Golden Giant Elephants were directly powerful combat forces, a shame he hadn’t gotten his hands on them, it was truly disappointing.

When Fang Jie returned, the army had already assembled.

In the Territory, a new grave structure was also being constructed. Since zombies were to be used to guard this place, it made sense to construct grave buildings nearby, which was also convenient for producing many Grave Guardian Demon Spiders.

Previously, these Grave Guardian Demon Spiders had been transported from the Main Territory, which was troublesome.

"There it is now." After walking most of the day, at midnight, Fang Jie finally saw the artificially created Corpse Swamp. At a glance, it looked flat, as if nothing was on the ground.

But upon closer inspection, one could see some very strange plants.

In such an environment, normal plants couldn’t survive. Despite the soil seeming very fertile, the presence of more toxic substances made it unfavorable for most. Only plants that were incredibly resilient or very unusual could survive here.

On the ground, a flat environment glowing green and bubbling like a rich potion brewed by a witch, Fang Jie, fully armed, could still sense the stench in the air.
