Chapter 33 Island of the Dead

After an accidental encounter with pirates, the journey to the Island of the Dead became much smoother.

After a few boring days of sailing, Roland finally arrived at the sea where the Island of the Dead was located.

Standing on the deck, Roland and Hela were looking at the island and the surrounding sea where a large number of dark elements gathered.

A large number of fish that have been transformed into undead are active in the shallow sea areas, while on the islands, there are corrupted trees and various undead creatures everywhere.

"Sir, it's time to set off."

A dwarf soldier ran up to Roland and said.

"Ah."

Roland nodded, then pulled Hela and followed the dwarf soldiers into a landing craft.

Without waiting for the dwarf soldiers to explain, Roland skillfully found a seat and sat down, then pulled out the seat belt to fasten himself, and at the same time, fastened Hela beside him as well.

Siqi looked at him in surprise, but he didn't say anything. Maybe Roland had worked with other dwarfs before and had come into contact with similar things, so he shouted directly.

"set off!"

"Okay."

The driver responded, and then the landing craft started instantly and rushed directly to the Island of the Dead. Several small elemental cannons installed also began to accumulate energy.

"boom!"

As the elemental cannons fired crazily, the undead fish intercepted on the landing craft in the shallow sea area were blown into countless powders.

If they were lucky enough, the undead fish that escaped the bombardment could not stop the landing craft at all.

These fragile undead creatures can be killed by a peasant with a fork, let alone fighting against the sturdy landing craft, which will directly knock them away.

Under the operation of the driver, the landing craft quickly broke through the shallow sea area outside the Island of the Dead and rushed directly onto the beach.

After landing on the Island of the Dead, the door of the landing craft opened immediately, and the dwarf soldiers and spellcasters quickly walked out of the door, attacking and clearing out the undead creatures that were attracted from all around.

Roland and Hela naturally got off the boat to help.

Soon, they cleared out a piece of space.

Then, the dwarves began to move various research equipment from the landing craft and placed them on the cleared space.

After moving all the things out of the landing craft, the landing craft retreated back into the shallow sea, once again broke through the shallow sea and reached the battleship.

After going back and forth more than a dozen times, all personnel and various equipment were successfully moved to the island.

The dwarf machinists reassembled the disassembled parts and quickly turned a large trailer into a trailer.

After moving all the equipment onto the trailer, the group protected the trailer and began to advance deeper into the Island of the Dead.

Since the undead creatures on the Island of the Dead were born naturally from the gathering of high concentrations of dark elements, they are naturally dependent on the dark element environment. Once they are out of the dark element environment, they will quickly lose power and turn into ordinary corpses.

Therefore, the undead will basically only move around the Island of the Dead and will not actively expand to the surrounding areas.

It is precisely for this reason that the Silver Empire allowed the existence of these Undead Island. According to the distribution of dark element concentrations on the Undead Island, the strength of the Undead creatures becomes increasingly stronger from the outside to the inside.

Ordinary undead creatures on the periphery do not require the intervention of extraordinary people. The dwarf soldiers alone can defeat them like cutting melons and vegetables. Only after entering the undead forest, in order to allow the trailer to enter smoothly, the dwarf spellcasters take turns casting spells to clear the way.

The dwarf soldiers armed with flamethrowers burned the rotten trees with flames, while the spellcasters behind them turned over the land to clear a smooth path.

With the dwarves' methodical advance, the team quickly advanced into the depths of the Island of the Dead.

As the progress goes on, the undead creatures the team encounters become stronger and stronger. There are more and more apprentice-level undead, and one or two first-ring undead will occasionally appear. The highly corrupted and undead vegetation is also becoming increasingly difficult to burn.

After blasting the last approaching undead into pieces with a single shot, Siqi looked at Roland, who had barely taken any action along the way, and said.

"Sir Roland, we will need your assistance on the journey ahead. Please do your best to prevent the undead creatures around us from affecting us."

Roland nodded slightly, and the elf's staff gently touched the ground, and a wave spread out in all directions.

Creating and controlling undead creatures is the basic skill of necromancy.

In his previous life, in professional competitions, Roland had successfully created a scourge of undead with zero basic skills many times.

Even though he was only a second-level spellcaster now, he still had experience. It was not difficult for Roland to influence the naturally born undead to stay away. He just had to order them to leave.

Under Roland's spiritual command, all the undead within a radius of 100 meters centered on the trailer shook their bodies and turned away.

The effect of Roland's spell was naturally immediate, and the waves of undead that would appear almost every few minutes no longer appeared.

After reducing the disturbance from the undead, the dwarf spellcasters also increased the frequency of casting spells.

The dwarf soldiers with flamethrowers reduced the number of times they sprayed fire because they could no longer burn anything. The dwarf spellcasters then used energy-shaping spells to destroy the trees blocking their way.

With the cooperation of the spellcaster, the team's advancement speed was also improved to a higher level.

Just as the sky was about to darken completely, the team successfully reached the edge of the central area of ​​the island.

In the center of the island, a three-ringed undead composed of various bones was walking aimlessly.

It was nearly two meters tall, and inside its hard bull skull, a ball of turbid black soul fire was slowly burning. Seventeen bony legs from various creatures slowly carried its huge body forward.

The team looked at the undead creature and began preparations for the hunt.

The dwarf spellcasters took out potions and began to recover their spirits and replenish their magic power. The dwarf soldiers began to assemble elemental cannons and moved the physical shells prepared in advance from the trailer.

With the help of some dwarf soldiers, Siqi and three other dwarf spellcasters who had not cast spells along the way began to wear exquisite primitive mechanical armor.

Like an ordinary dwarf spellcaster, Hela took out the alchemical potion to restore her spirit and replenish her magic power. At the same time, according to Roland's request, she quietly checked the trump card Roland gave her.

As for Roland, he didn't consume much, so he drank a bottle of ordinary alchemical potion to replenish a little magic power.

After replenishing his consumed magic power, he observed the three-ringed undead in the distance with interest.

In his previous life, when he was leveling up on the Island of the Dead, he was just a mage apprentice. He didn't know much supernatural knowledge and couldn't see anything.

But now, Roland saw something.
