Chapter 606: Chapter 606: Betrayal upon Arrival at the Destination

For the next period, Fang Jie didn’t do much, just moved forward with the team like an ordinary person.

Although they encountered some highway robbers along the way, they were not very powerful. In fact, Fang Jie didn’t even need to take action himself, as the closest adventurers took care of these people and drove them away.

They needed to keep moving on, so they had no intention of pursuing.

As they continued, those who could cause them trouble became increasingly few. Or rather, the further south they went, the fewer people they encountered. Although the remaining people were skilled, most of them knew something.

Seeing such a team heading south, they knew these were not people to be trifled with.

Sure enough, many races lived in the southern lands, but they all knew their strength was nothing compared to the Undead at the far south. Should the Undead really come out, it would be very easy for them to massacre them.

If it weren’t for the fear of encirclement and suppression by the northern races, those Undead would not have just stayed hidden here.

Even among the Undead, many were formerly Human or other races who had voluntarily transformed, so they retained their memories. Consequently, a portion of them had been secretly undermining and fragmenting the Undead.

But no matter what, due to the continual death of people, the overall strength of the southern Undead was constantly expanding.

Over a month later, they finally weren’t far from their destination. Fang Jie stopped. Although he couldn’t openly research during this time, with his continuous deductions, he had finally evolved his second skill to Legendary status.

On the one hand, this was related to his White Bone Control, and on the other hand, it was because he had been deducing for a long time.

Legendary Level Mimetic Shapeshifting combined with White Bone Control allowed Fang Jie to easily control the white bones he created. It seemed that his combat power had also greatly increased, only that he hadn’t had a place to test it yet.

But there was another issue, Fang Jie found one of his four Seeds had become tainted with the White Bone attribute.

If he wished, he could fully develop it into a Law of the white bone category.

But if he wanted to change it, it wouldn’t be something that could be stripped away in a moment. Moreover, after stripping it away, Fang Jie didn’t know if it would affect his potential, all of which were uncertainties.

"Forget it, the Law of the white bone type isn’t bad, I’m pretty good at it usually. But I’ll have to be careful in the future, it seems I can’t just evolve any skill to the Legendary level."

Studying and evolving skills were two different things, studying just increased one’s knowledge and capabilities.

But once a skill was evolved, it would influence one’s future path. When both of Fang Jie’s skills were evolved to their pinnacle, his Seeds would be just a step away from becoming true Laws.

Four Seeds, corresponding to four types of skills. What more there could be, Fang Jie didn’t know.

It could cause a contamination, or it might not have any effect, in any case, he would continue to check the information when he returned.

"Alright, we’ve arrived," suddenly, the team stopped, and a voice rang out.

Fang Jie turned back to see that among the team’s escorted three people, two youths had already stood in front of the old man’s carriage. The old man didn’t come down, still on the carriage, since his life force was already at its limits.

The accompanying guards stood protectively around the three people.

It wasn’t clear if these guards were ignorant of everything, or if they were also part of the calculation. Or maybe they knew everything, but were prepared to sacrifice themselves.

At this time, the other adventurers also noticed that something was amiss.

"What’s happening, why have we suddenly stopped? There’s nothing here, what are we doing stopping at this place?"

"Have we reached our destination? Then settle our mercenary pay quickly, and we can make our own way back."

People began to speak, but although there were many calling out, none dared to move rashly. After all, as mercenaries for so long, who hadn’t faced anything, such a mysterious situation meant no one wanted to be the one to first stick their neck out.

"Go? You can’t go back anymore," one of the youths said indifferently.

"What’s the matter, what are you trying to do, trying to default on payment?" Someone was already prepared to run. Although a default on payment meant a considerable loss, it was better than losing their lives; the situation was too mysterious.

Some people seemed to have heard of similar scenarios before.

But just when someone wanted to escape, they found they could no longer run. Because within the surrounding swamp, unbeknownst to them, a large number of zombies and skeletons had emerged, gradually encircling them.

Though these guards had some strength, they were mostly of the Black Iron and Bronze levels, with few reaching the Silver level.

While this world had a high energy intensity, the difficulty of cultivation was also great, and the strong were actually the minority. In the entire city, there were not many who could reach the Gold level.

Fang Jie was not familiar with these details, but every world always had its own unique characteristics.

The high difficulty of cultivation meant that people in this world were also more adept with techniques. Perhaps when he collected more stuff, he could bring it back to his Subjects, which would also be a benefit.

Currently, his Subjects were no longer getting cultivation of secret techniques for free, and had begun charging fees.

Although many were complaining loudly, that was the rule, and they could only regret not having joined in from the start.

"What are you doing, to actually collude with the Undead, this is a shameful betrayal."

"How could it be betrayal? In reality, many of the higher ranks of the Undead were transformed from our Human Nobles. If it weren’t for special circumstances, we wouldn’t have let you come here, you are our living sacrifices," one of the youths explained.

"What did you say? You bastards," someone tried to attack, but was blocked by the guards.

"It’s the same with you, why insist on coming here to be sacrifices? These people won’t spare you," the youth said indifferently.

"They’re different; they’ve joined voluntarily and will become bodyguards for my great-uncle in the future. Unlike you mindless sacrifices, they will all be reborn members of the Undead Clan."

So this was how they had been deceived, Fang Jie understood in his heart.

He knew the Undead well since he was part of the Undead Camp, after all.

Although voluntary transformation could indeed retain memories, the specifics depended on the method used. For such a large group of people, if the method was too crude, the transformation could almost be said to not leave them as the same person they were before.

However, these people were willing to harm others for these reasons, and such an end was what they deserved.
