I chose the mighty Ghoul as the next undead creation, and there were two reasons why.
First, I was poor! I have no money to buy materials.
Second, according to Regulus’ memory, there happened to be a Ghoul nearby. Moreover, it seemed to be quite powerful.
In his memory, the Ghoul dwelt in this room that was three or four miles southeast of a mass of gravestones.
Regulus already had designs on it long before.
He thought that it was just a low-level undead.
He wanted to capture it and forcefully sign a contract with it.
At that time, not only had he already made enemies with people, he had also used up almost all of his magic tools.
After meeting the Ghoul, he realized that not only was the Ghoul’s defense strong; it was also formidable in defending.
It was so strong that even the swords, bows, and arrows that Regulus had brought with him to hunt could not cause it any damage.
After being attacked by Regulus, the Ghoul that had ridiculously strong defense naturally had to retaliate fiercely.
After being counterattacked by the Ghoul, Regulus discovered a new advantage.
It was powerful!
The Ghoul’s strength was so powerful that Regulus had to use up all of his remaining magic tools in order to protect himself.
In the end, not only did Regulus fail to subdue the Ghoul, he even used up all of his remaining defensive measures.
This was also the indirect cause of Regulus’ death after I was summoned here.
Seeing the strength of the Ghoul in Regulus’ memories, I felt that the new undead created from this Ghoul would definitely be very mighty.
…
The next morning.
I held Regulus’ sword in my hand. The two recently refined Corpse-Eating beasts were on my side as we headed southeast, toward where the Ghoul roamed.
In order to deal with the Ghoul better, I observed it several times yesterday from the fragments of Regulus’ memories.
I repeatedly studied the Ghoul for its weaknesses.
Although I found no weakness as a result of my research, I still went.
After all, the memories about the Ghoul were only from a few references. I still needed to see the Ghoul again before I could make a judgment.
From his memories, I could see Regulus’ terrified and panicked reaction after knowing how powerful the Ghoul was.
“Wuuuuuuuu—”
As soon as we started heading southeast, the Corpse-Eating beasts on my side became similar to pet dogs from my previous life.
They insisted on running ahead of me, and they were very curious about anything that moved along the way.
They would go ahead to sniff or chase after something. They would look back once in a while and bark a few times, checking if their master had followed.
“Kacha~ Kacha~”
I had probably walked about a third of the way.
I was about to open my mouth and tell the two Corpse-Eating beasts not to go far when I suddenly heard a sound that seemed to be coming from my side.
And it sounded like a large animal was snorting beside me.
“Woof, woof, woof—”
I raised my head and looked ahead. As expected, my two Corpse-Eating beasts began to howl in the direction of the sound.
I could even hear some fear in their howls.
When I saw the Corpse-Eating beasts having such a big reaction, I started to mutter in my heart.
What kind of animal was beside me?
Thus, I turned my body slowly and turned my head slightly, and shifted my gaze over.
As a result, when I saw it, my soul almost left my body!
It was actually a large wild boar!
It was less than five meters away from me.
A wild boar that was about the size of a small car was rubbing against a large tree.
With a glance, I knew that the diameter of the large tree was about the size of my waist.
I didn’t know how developed the underground roots of such a tree were, but such a big tree was actually swaying and crumbling under the gentle scratching of the wild boar.
Seeing such a scene at such a close distance, I felt like my soul was about to leave my body. Of course, the prerequisite was that I still had a soul.
I stood still and didn’t dare to move.
I had estimated that the distance between us would not exceed five meters, so the wild boar would probably collide with me in less than three seconds.
In such a short time and at such a close distance, even if I was a normal human being, I wouldn’t be able to escape in time, let alone a stumbling zombie.
Moreover, the wild boar in front of me was so big that if it were to collide with me…
My zombie body would probably disintegrate on the spot like the Soviet Union.
With a wild boar of such an exaggerated size near me, I could only stand on the spot and not dare to move.
Just as I was pretending to be dead and thinking about how to escape, I suddenly saw the Corpse Eater that had been barking crazily at the wild boar.
I had an idea!
I still had two Corpse Eaters!
Although the Corpse Eaters might not be able to defeat this huge Wild Boar King, I could use their agility to help me escape from this wild boar!
And wild boars are famous for their short temper.
With just a little movement, this wild boar will definitely be led by the nose.
After thinking of a way, I immediately began to implement it.
I issued a mental order to the two Corpse-Eating beasts, telling them to quickly lead the wild boar away.
“Woof, woof, woof!”
After the order was issued, I discovered that the two Corpse Eaters were barking even more fiercely.
There was even some provocation mixed in their barking.
As expected, after hearing the Corpse Eaters’ provocative cries, the wild boar that was originally comfortably scratching its itch against the tree immediately stopped rubbing itself.
It turned its head to look at the two ‘reckless’ Corpse Eaters.
“Huff, huff, huff, huff!”
Its nose started to emit air as it panted heavily.
The wild boar then lowered its head, its left front hoof continuously stomping on the ground.
I knew that the wild boar was about to launch a ‘charge’.
I estimated that the impact of such a charge wouldn’t be inferior to a car that was going at 80 mph.
It was just that its brain wasn’t very good, that’s what I thought as I watched the Wild Boar King chasing the Corpse-Eating beasts.
Seeing that the danger was already far away, I looked at the sky and started heading southeast again.
I hoped that I could find and kill the Ghoul before nightfall and obtain the materials from its body.
“Wu, wu~ ~ ~”
About ten minutes later, I heard dog barks behind me.
I didn’t have to turn around and continued to move southeast.
I knew that they were my two undead that had returned after escaping the Wild Boar King.
However, it wasn’t early anymore. If I wanted to find the Ghoul early, I had to hurry.
