Chapter 8 Planting Some Plants: Corpses Guard My Vegetable Garden
The Lich King Brann's soul fire opened its mouth and exhaled a puff of smoke.
Sigh, if I had known that Distin would be so ruthless when he grew up, I should have bullied him more when he was still a fledgling dragon...
The soul fire was split open, revealing a skull, and the bones beneath the black robe automatically disintegrated.
It's okay if the bones break apart, as long as the life box isn't crushed by the evil dragon Destin.
The evil dragon Destin should know that to truly kill him, his life box must be destroyed.
Knowing this, yet not doing so, suggests that the evil dragon Destin simply wanted to torment him.
If he resists, well...
The more he resisted, the more excited the dragon Diding became, and the more violently he beat him.
If he doesn't resist, the evil dragon Destin will simply deal with him and leave.
Some time ago, the evil dragon Destin asked him to research seeds that could be grown in Hell, and said that if he could research and grow the seeds, all the things he had done to persecute him in the past would be wiped clean.
He didn't believe it.
What is he?
Lich.
He had said similar things to some mages before he was a lich.
As a result, when he gets what he wants, he will continue to exploit those mages until he has squeezed out all their value.
Therefore, he didn't believe a word that the evil dragon Diding said.
If he were to actually develop a seed that could be planted in hell, the dragon Destin would exploit him even more ruthlessly.
The Lich King's soul fire drifted back to the skull, and the broken bones automatically regenerated.
He saw Destin bring the dragon claw to his mouth and breathe a breath of dragon fire containing the power of thunder.
The evil dragon Destin is purifying his dragon claws.
The red-eyed raven atop Lich Brian's staff covered its eyes with its wings, too afraid to look at Distin.
Upon closer inspection of the evil dragon Diding, it feared that its soul fire would be purified by the thunderous power emanating from Diding's vertical pupils.
The evil dragon Destin is terrifying.
It dared not shout, lest the evil dragon Distin smash it flat with a single punch...
Sophia moved to a position closer to the dragon Distin.
This black-robed, talking skeleton... could it be the Lich Brian?
Liches are the most difficult undead to kill.
The lich can be resurrected after being killed, unless the lich's life box can be found to completely kill the lich.
"Have you figured out a seed that can be grown in Hell?" Diding asked the lich Brian.
"No, the seeds you gave me before weren't seeds, they were plant-type corpse monsters. I can modify plant-type corpse monsters, but I can't turn plant-type corpse monster seeds into edible food seeds."
Lich Brian thought that the dragon Diding was a bit crazy. It was one thing for a dragon not to think about how to become king of Hell, but to think about farming in Hell.
Can normal crops grow in an environment like hell?
There's no sun, no moon, and the rain isn't normal either.
Even if the land of the evil dragon Destin could actually grow crops, whether those crops would be edible after they matured is another matter entirely.
It's fine if they can't be eaten, but it would be hilarious if crops mutated and grew into plant-based zombies.
Instead of wasting effort figuring out how to farm in hell, you should think about how to escape hell and farm in the human world.
"The plant-type corpse monsters I gave you will bear fruit. The Soul-Devouring Vine can produce fruit that looks like strawberries, the Ghost Face Tree can produce fruit that looks like bananas, and the Blood Crystal Tree can produce fruit that looks like apples."
I'll let you study the fruits of these plants... never mind, are you sure you can't transform these fruits into normal seeds?
"Sure."
"If you can't even do this simple thing, do you deserve the title of a lich?"
"....."
Lich Brian wanted to say something to the evil dragon Distin, but the fruits of the Soul-Devouring Vine looked like strawberries.
The fruit of the Soul-Devouring Vine is a spirit, and the black spots on the spirit are poisonous thorns.
The Soul-Devouring Vine uses souls to attract skeletons, zombies, soul-devouring spirits, and other undead creatures that want to devour souls to strengthen themselves.
When these undead creatures approach the Soul-Devouring Vine, the vine will entangle them and devour their soul fire.
The ghost tree doesn't grow bananas, but ghost bones, which are used to lure and kill skeletons.
The fruit that the Blood Crystal Tree bears is not an apple, but a blood crystal.
Blood crystals are valuable and can be harvested, provided you can avoid being attacked by blood diamond worms.
Where there are Blood Crystal Trees, there are bound to be Blood Drill Worms underground.
The evil dragon Tessine gave him the fruit of this plant to study. How did he study it?
There's no way he could transform a soul into a strawberry, even if you beat him to death.
"If you want to beat me up, just come and beat me up next time. There's no need to make things difficult for me like this."
Diding was not giving up; in his mind, the Lich Brian was still very capable.
"Is it truly impossible to transform hellish plant seeds into cultivable crop seeds?"
"Yes, if you asked me to modify those plant seeds to make the fruit they bear look better, I might be able to try. But to turn them into crop seeds? No way, not even if you struck me with lightning."
Lich Brian glanced at Distin with his ghostly green soul fire, then said, "If you really want to farm, why don't you learn from the demons and see if you can escape from Hell and farm in the human world?"
"Escape?" Distin looked up at the crimson sky. "Only the dead and demons who see hell as a prison are always thinking about escaping from hell."
I consider hell my home, so why would I want to escape it? I haven't even finished exploring my own home yet, so what would I do in the human world?
If I ever go to the human world, it will be because I've explored this home and gotten tired of staying here.
"At that time, I might go and see the human world."
"?"
Family?
Do you treat hell like home?
Unable to escape hell, they resort to such words to beautify themselves?
Who would consider hell their home?
Aside from the legendary god of the underworld.
Even the legendary god of the underworld might not consider hell his home.
"If you want to make hell your home, you first need to have a home in hell. Secondly, if you really want to make hell your home, then you need to transform this chaotic and disorderly Blood Wasteland into an orderly living area with ghost towns."
If you're interested, I can help you.
As the last sentence fell, the Lich Brian's eerie green soul flames overflowed from his eyes.
He couldn't do anything to the evil dragon Distin, but the other lord-level undead and demons in the Crimson Wasteland might be able to give the evil dragon Distin a hard time.
"You have to take things one step at a time, and eat one bite at a time. It's not too late to think about other things after I've grown my crops."
The Lich Brian urged him to become king and fight for supremacy, but there was no need for that. Once he grew crops and the news spread, the Scarlet Wasteland would naturally come alive again.
"However, your words reminded me of something."
"What is it?"
Diding grinned: "I'll plant some plant-type undead to guard my vegetable garden, since the skeletons and zombies in the Crimson Wasteland will automatically respawn."
"???"
Lich Brian was dumbfounded: planting plant-type undead to guard the vegetable garden?
