The Exotic Land Reclamation of Vegetable Skeletons

Chapter 1 Silence
Ange was awakened by the sound of pecking. His soul slowly ignited, and the waves radiated from the hollow eye sockets. He could perceive anything he touched. This was the way skeletons observed the outside world.

The soul stretched out and landed on Ange's chest rib, where the pecking sound was heard. A bird was pecking at the broken part of Ange's rib, pecking out the grass seeds embedded in it and eating it.

Ange kept his original posture and did not move, and let the bird clean his body, which was a good thing for him. The grass seeds embedded in it would sprouted and swell when wet, which would damage his bones.

After the bird flew away, Ange got up from the ground and checked his body.

It's broken again and needs to be replaced. . . .

After a winter of sleep, Ange's skeleton has been damaged a lot compared to last year. If it is not replaced, it is likely to affect his activities.

But when he thought of this question, Ange turned his head in distress and looked at the palace that looked like a mountain behind. After so many years, only the king's palace has well-preserved bones. To replace the bones, you need to go inside to find them. , this is something that annoys him.

Even though the undead king had been missing for 1000 years, the power remaining in An Ge's soul still made him reluctant to approach the palace.

I will use it this year, let's talk about it next year... Ange gave up the idea of ​​looking for replacement bones in the palace, and went to the fields not far away.

The place where he got up was a haystack, which was also the home where Ange slept and shaded. In the past, when the sun was fierce during the day, he could not bear the sun, so he would hide in the haystack for shade and rest, and wait until the sun was about to go down. Come out to work until the next day, and it is the normal work and rest of undead creatures to be out at night.

In the past, when he still had companions, they would burrow into the haystack and climb out in the evening, covered in withered grass.

Ang found that this was not good. The haystacks were damp and dark, and bugs would grow and corrode bones.

So Ange would bundle the grass stalks into bundles, pile up a semi-enclosed hole, and then drill into the hole, so that it would not be exposed to the rain and the sun, and the bone condition would be much better than that of his companions.

In recent years, he has not cared much about the sun, but the routine he developed in the past still affects him, allowing him to maintain the habit of resting at sunrise and working at sunset. Now is the evening of the day, and it is time to work hard again time period.

Ange is a little skeleton who grows vegetables on a farm near the Dormition Palace. He is responsible for farming 100 acres of farmland. It has been [-] years.

In the past, there were more than 60 vegetable-growing skeletons like Ange in the whole farm, and each was responsible for farming [-] acres of farmland. Ange was just an ordinary one among them. The only special thing is that he lived longer than others. .

Ordinary skeletons never take care of their bones, they like to drive away birds, and they like to drill into haystacks, so after more than ten years, the bones on their bodies decay to the point of being unusable and fall to the ground.

Occasionally, high-level undead creatures will pass through the air and find that a certain farmland is deserted. They will know that the responsible skeleton has decayed, and will report it. After ten days, a new skeleton will be assigned.

Of course, the farmland that has been abandoned for a while will definitely have no harvest this year, but it doesn't matter, the undead don't need to eat, the things grown here are just to be stored and entertain the visiting human missions when needed. .

However, due to the bad relationship between the undead empire and humans, humans may not necessarily visit for hundreds of years.

But what does that matter?The cost of input is not high, it is only sixty or so skeletons, and it is effortless to maintain the operation of this farm, and even later, the high-level executives of the undead empire even forgot that such a farm existed, and it was maintained just by inertia.

In such a farm that is maintained by inertia, no one has ever noticed Anger, a skeleton that lives for a long time. There are very few intelligent and high-level undead creatures. He is not rotten, so naturally no one will come to throw him. , and he also discovered a way to prolong life.

Some skeletons are rotten and incapacitated, but not the whole body is rotten, some just have broken hands, some just have rotten lumbar spine, but most of them are broken feet.

When those skeletons lay on the ground and couldn't move, Anger would dismantle their still intact parts and replace their decayed parts.

After more than 100 years like this, the companions have been replaced by more than a dozen waves, and Ange is still maintaining it in tatters. Then in the ninth year of 130th, he woke up from the long sleep in winter again, and Ange found that the whole world changed.

The surroundings became absolutely quiet, there was no wailing of resentful spirits, the screams of fierce spirits, and there were no high-level undead creatures flying from the sky from time to time, and even the companions in the farm were gone.

Anger didn't realize what happened. He repeated the work of more than 100 years step by step, weeding, plowing, and sowing. After a week, he noticed that except for the area he was in charge of, other The place is deserted.

Are the skeletons rotten again?

As usual, he immediately set off to find replacement bones. After rummaging through all the abandoned blocks, Ange found 59 skeletons that were not seriously decayed, and even the fire of the soul had been extinguished.

At this point, Ang finally felt that something was wrong, but he was just a low-level vegetable skeleton. He couldn't think of what was wrong, but he harvested more than [-] intact skeletons, which made him happy for a long time.

Ange used a method invented by himself to store these skeletons with haystacks. In the next 200 years, relying on the replacement of these skeletons, Ange passed through safely.

In the past 200 years, Ange has been completing his own work, sowing and harvesting. The harvested crops will leave seeds, and the rest will be dragged to a large burrow at the edge of the farm and thrown down the slide.

The cave is covered with soil, which can keep the crops for a long time, and the space inside is very large. If Ange alone relies on it, it may take 1000 years to fill the cave.

As time goes by, the skeleton will eventually run out, especially as time goes on, the bones stored in the cavity slowly decay.

After the last spare skeletons were used up, Ang's foot was broken, which forced him to limp out of the farm that he hadn't left for 300 years.

The entire Undead Empire was silent, not a single soul could be seen, but there were many broken and weathered bones on the ground. Judging from the degree of decay, they had been dead for at least 200 years.

Why is this so?Ange walked on this dead land with doubts, looking for a replacement skeleton, and finally found it in the palace.

The Palace of Rest is the supreme existence of the undead empire, where the undead king who controls the soul and immortality sleeps. It has natural coercion over low-level undead creatures.

Ange wandered around for several days before he got used to the pressure and stepped into the area of ​​the Palace of Rest. The breath of death is strong here, and the soil on the ground is thick. longer.

In the soil, Anger found some relatively strong and sturdy skeletons. If Anger was a low-level withered bone skeleton, then these strong and sturdy bones once belonged to a higher-level gray or white bone skeleton.

It is a pity that these skeletons, which were once stronger than Anger, have now lost their souls, leaving only a pile of bones. If they were not buried in the soil, I am afraid they would be as rotten and decayed as their counterparts outside.

Ange picked up a bunch of bones, pieced it together into a complete skeleton, then transferred his soul to it and transformed himself into a more advanced ashes skeleton.

Although he wanted to piece together a more advanced silver skeleton, he found that the soul was too weak to drive, so he could only give up.

In this way, Ang returned to the farm and continued his life of sunrise and sunset, until the bones on his body rotted again.
