Chapter 6: The Next Undead Creation, The Mighty Ghoul!
The two Corpse-Eating beasts that had been standing at the entrance of the house were now sitting beside me.
Eyes closed, sitting calmly and quietly.
The movements of their bodies were exactly the same as what I had just done when I was meditating.
I finally understood why the efficiency of my cultivation had increased so much.
I also finally understood what the necromancer had written in his training notes.
While necromancers created and contracted undead creatures to become stronger, undead creatures could also help necromancers train faster.
While necromancers trained and communicated with the power of death, the undead creatures around them could help their masters absorb the power faster.
The body's absorption rate would not increase, but the speed of absorption would be greatly increased.
This was all because of the undead creatures, which were not real creatures in the first place but were rather formed by necromancers using various sorts of broken limbs and death energy.
It's probable that they have a better advantage when it comes to connecting with death energy than necromancers.
Looking at the two Corpse-Eating beasts beside me, I rubbed my chin and pondered for a moment.
I decided to sit down and try again to see if the result was as I had expected.
I first chased the two Corpse-Eating beasts out of the door and gave them a dead order.
I squatted at the doorway to guard the entrance and didn't allow them to enter the room.
I returned to the room, went to the place where I had sat down with my legs crossed, and started meditating again.
The speed at which I communicated with my spiritual power and absorbed the power of death returned to the speed I had when I started.
I opened my eyes and then opened the door.
I called the two Corpse-Eating beasts in.
I sat down and allowed the two corpse-eating beasts to sit beside me.
I closed my eyes and muttered, "Help me cultivate."
Sure enough, it was just as I had expected.
The speed at which I absorbed the gray light spots had become much faster than before.
This time, I didn't stop immediately. Instead, I chose to continue cultivating.
I felt my body and spirit being washed away by the surrounding death energy.
I didn't know how much time had passed until even my own spirit energy started to feel exhausted. Only then did I stop.
Opening my eyes, I looked at my body.
I took a step, staggering for a while, then waved both of my hands up and down a few times.
I could clearly feel that my body was much more flexible than when I was on Earth.
I was ecstatic at the change.
I looked up and felt like I wanted to laugh my heart out.
"Ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho"
When my laughter ended, I suddenly realized that the sound coming out of my mouth was even more human-like than the low growl of the zombie.
This change made it clear to me all of a sudden.
My originally withered zombie body had already started to get better!
This meant that as long as I practiced according to the training method in my notebook, I would be able to get rid of my shriveled zombie body one day.
I would no longer look like a tortured human or a ghost. I would look like a normal human!
After sensing the changes in my body, I didn't immediately immerse myself in my training and meditation.
First, it was because my spiritual power had been completely used up during my previous cultivation.
Second, it was because I was still unsatisfied with the fact that even with the help of the two corpse-eating beasts, my cultivation speed had only increased by a third in efficiency.
Corpse-eating beasts were the lowest level of undead that a Necromancer could create.
They had very little effect on a Necromancer's cultivation.
At the early stages of Necromancer training, they could not be considered as powerful help, not to mention my zombie body that was like a sieve when it was absorbing the power of death.
There were still much higher-level undead above it.
If I wanted to reach the level of a human as soon as possible, I had to obtain a higher-level undead.
I had to speed up my training.
However, according to the contents of the notebook, there were only two ways to obtain a higher level of undead.
First, the Necromancer would have to use higher-level materials to create his own.
Second, he would have to buy scrolls or create his own spell formations to form an innate undead contract. High-level undead were extremely powerful. In fact, some high-level undead were even as powerful as dragons, providing great help to a Necromancer's training.
However, a high-level undead not only possessed powerful strength but also intelligence not inferior to humans. They were very arrogant.
Taking a scroll to sign a contract without permission and making a powerful undead your servant...
For a weak zombie like me, I wouldn't even dare to think about it.
Besides, it was also very difficult for me to draw a formation with the scroll of the contract.
First of all, there was no way to solve the problem of the materials.
I was a zombie, so I couldn't go to a place where humans gathered to buy some materials, right?
If I was discovered, I would probably be caught and burned to death before I could buy the materials and the scroll.
Therefore, there was only one possible method for me to obtain a high-level undead from a necromancer.
That was to create my own undead creature.
Moreover, when I was creating the undead creature, my unrivalled luck and more than 50% success rate made me very confident in my next undead creature creation.
However, if I wanted to create my own undead creature, there was still a problem that needed to be solved.
That was, I still lacked the materials to create them.
The unlucky Regulus had left behind all low-level materials, which were used to create Corpse-Eating beasts, and I had used them all up.
So if I wanted to level up faster, I still needed to collect more materials. More high-level materials.
But I had just arrived in this world, and I didn't have a single cent on me.
Furthermore, with my withered appearance, it was impossible for me to go to the black market to purchase any materials.
If I wanted to collect materials, I could only take the risk and bring the two Corpse-Eating beasts to hunt.
Coincidentally, this was a graveyard, so there should be a lot of materials regarding undead and corpses.
Furthermore, after reading the Necromancer's research notes, I already had some ideas about my next undead.
A mighty Ghoul!
According to the necromancer's research notes, use a ghoul's body as the main template and then fill it with other materials.
Not only would it possess tremendous power, but it would also inherit the ghoul's excellent defense.
Apart from its slow movement, it could be said that it can be used for both offense and defense.
It was simply a good meat shield template.
After I create the ghoul, I would use its powerful defense and strength to hunt other dangerous animals one after another, and gather the materials of other undead.
I would ultimately form the perfect undead squad.
There would be a meat shield, a Necromancer, and assassins...
