Chapter 9 - chapter 136

Zhao Hai made the zombies because he wanted to see the difference between zombies and skeletons. But what he didn't expect was that after he made the zombies, the Space actually turned all of the undead that came out of the Space into zombies. Moreover, these zombies were a combination of the advantages of zombies and high-level skeletons.

The skin and flesh of these zombies had very strong defensive capabilities, comparable to ordinary leather armor. Their bones were even harder than steel. Moreover, besides their pale complexion and their inability to breathe, they looked no different from a normal person. The only difference was that their eyes couldn't move.

Most importantly, the toxins in these people's bodies had increased. In addition to the original toxins, there was also corpse poison. This corpse poison could only be found in 4th rank zombies. However, this didn't mean that 1st and 2nd rank zombies didn't have it. It's just that 1st and 2nd rank zombies had corpse poison hidden in their bodies. The Space only strengthened the poison by removing it. At the same time, these undead also had the means of attack of zombies. For example, their fingernails could become longer, giving them extraordinary strength. Even Zhao Jia and the others were like this. It can be imagined that once Zhao Jia and the other undead magicians appeared in the continent, wearing their magic robes, releasing magic in their hands, they would be able to beat the enemy half to death. What kind of scene would that be?

In the continent, there were very few people who practiced both magic and martial arts. This didn't mean that magic and martial arts dual cultivators weren't good. On the contrary, magic and martial arts dual cultivators were very powerful in the early stages. Below the 5th rank, magic and martial arts dual cultivators could easily defeat their opponents. But after the 5th level, it was a different story. After the 5th level, if one wanted to break through to a higher level, they wouldn't just need to rely on hard work. After the 5th level, whether it was magic or dou qi, every level up would be very difficult.

For people who practice both magic and martial arts, after the 5th level, the difficulty of each level up was not as simple as one plus one equals two. If they were to give up on practicing both magic and martial arts at this time and only practice one, it would be impossible. Both magic and martial arts complemented each other. Once they started to practice both magic and martial arts, they would have to maintain the same level. Otherwise, it would be very easy for them to go berserk. Therefore, it was very difficult for people who practiced both magic and martial arts to have great achievements in the end. Generally, it would be very difficult for them to make any progress after reaching the 6th or 7th level.

Although a 7th rank Magic Warrior was already very powerful, there were very few Magic Warriors that could reach the 7th rank. There were a lot of famous geniuses in the continent who thought that they could cultivate both magic and martial arts. However, in the end, they were all stuck at the 5th rank, unable to reach the 6th rank. Only a few managed to reach the 6th rank, and even if they did reach the 6th rank, they would be stuck there for the rest of their lives. Only a few managed to reach the 7th rank.

Nowadays, there were very few people who practiced both magic and martial arts in the continent. One must know that those geniuses who practiced both magic and martial arts in the past, if they only practiced one of them, then they would eventually reach the 9th rank. But because of this, they could only reach the 7th rank, or even the 6th rank.

After the Space upgraded the undead several times, Zhao Jia and the others now had the strength of 7th rank experts. However, Zhao Jia and the others were mainly proficient in magic attacks, their close combat ability wasn't very strong. They didn't learn Battle Qi, nor did they learn Martial Skills. They could only rely on their instincts to fight.

As for the undead warriors, they were mainly focused on martial arts, they didn't practice magic. However, their attacks weren't any worse than Zhao Jia and the others who were Magicians.

The magic beasts that came out of the Carrion Swamp were now covered in flesh and blood. Their fighting strength wasn't any worse than the warriors. The magic beasts themselves had existed for a long time compared to the warriors. The Carrion Swamp wasn't a peaceful place, except for the beast tide, the magic beasts and the undead would fight each other all the time. Because of this, whether it was the magic beasts or the undead, they had a lot of fighting experience and weren't weak.

Zhao Hai didn't think that this would be the result, but this result made him very happy. He now had more than a thousand 7th rank experts in his hands. More than a thousand 7th rank experts? What kind of concept was that? He was afraid that if the Purcell clan didn't send 9th rank experts, they wouldn't be able to deal with them.

When one's cultivation reached 9th rank, they couldn't rely on numbers to win. They were on two different levels. Almost all of the Great Clans in the continent had 9th rank experts. Unfortunately, Zhao Hai's enemies were those Great Clans, so he could only tuck his tail between his legs.

After resting in the Space for a day, Zhao Hai and Green finally recovered to their peak state. During the day, Merine went to the Space to cook for Zhao Hai. Merine was always worried about Zhao Hai, so Zhao Hai was very touched by Merine's care. In his previous life, he didn't enjoy maternal love, but from Merine, he enjoyed it.

With regards to Merine and Green, Zhao Hai was very respectful. He treated them as his own biological grandparents. These two respectable elders had dedicated their lives to the Buda clan, even their own children were dedicated to the Buda clan. For such people, Zhao Hai couldn't help but respect them.

It had been five days since they left Casa City. Zhao Hai's farm was still growing radishes and oil nuts. Now, he had nearly three hundred mu of radishes in his hands, and twenty-two seasons of oil nuts. Such a quantity was very astonishing. However, Zhao Hai was also preparing to harvest this season's radishes, so he wouldn't plant any more radishes. Nearly three hundred mu of radishes, eight thousand jin per mu, such a yield was really amazing. It was enough for him to trade with Laura for a while.

At the ranch, he had also collected two thousand adult rabbits, and soon he would be able to collect another batch of rabbits. In other words, he now had two thousand adult rabbits in his hands, and another thousand were about to mature. The number of small rabbits in his hands was more than a hundred thousand. Zhao Hai still underestimated the reproduction ability of the rabbits in the Space.

Zhao Hai didn't want to plant radishes for a reason. This time, he ran to the Ica plains to release insects, so the Purcell Duchy was bound to have a food shortage. When the time came, there might be a famine. Zhao Hai was preparing to plant more corn, so maybe he could sell it for some money.

Although Zhao Hai wanted to use the insect plague to deal with the Purcell clan, he didn't want to create a tragic scene like the Thousand Mile Starving Map. Most of the food in the Purcell Duchy was produced in the Ica plains. If the Ica plains stopped producing food, then the Purcell Duchy's food pressure would be great.

In a time of great disaster, who would suffer the most? It wasn't the aristocrats, nor the rich, but the ordinary people. If the Purcell Duchy really had no food, then the ordinary people would have a problem eating food. At that time, there might really be a tragic scene of people eating children.

Zhao Hai hated the Purcell clan for always finding trouble with him, but he didn't want the ordinary people to suffer. If he really did that, he was afraid that his conscience would be uneasy, and he wouldn't be able to sleep well at night.

Zhao Hai also thought that if he really used corn to solve the Purcell clan's food crisis, he would also make a lot of money. Most importantly, it would also improve Laura's position in the Purcell clan's heart.

If Zhao Hai wanted to use corn to solve the problem, then he would have to sell the corn. Of course, he couldn't do it himself, so he could only sell it through Laura. Laura would certainly be a great benefactor of the Purcell clan, and naturally her position in their hearts would be improved.

But now, this was only Zhao Hai's expectation. It was hard to say if it would go so smoothly. Don't forget that the Purcell Duchy had many other large firms. These large firms had the ability to transfer large quantities of food to the Purcell Duchy in a short period of time. The Purcell Duchy's food problem could also be solved by these large firms.

The next night, Zhao Hai and Green came out of the space. Green took Zhao Hai through the windbreak belt and entered the Ica plains.

Upon entering the Ica plains, Zhao Hai was stunned. He was born in the northern part of China, which was also a plain. But at that time, the population of China was too large. At a glance, you could see the end of the field and then the houses, which was far less shocking than the Ica plains.

It was too shocking. As far as the eye could see, the rolling waves of green wheat were like the sea. There was no end to it. You couldn't see people, houses, or trees. Other than wheat fields, there were more wheat fields. That scene could only be described as shocking.

Green also saw this scene for the first time. After a while, he gasped for breath and sighed. "Too beautiful, too spectacular. I really didn't think that farming could produce such a spectacular scenery."

Zhao Hai also recovered, his eyes shining. "This is nothing. Later, when we turn the Black Waste into something like this, I believe it will be more spectacular than here."

Green nodded. He was very clear that the land in the Black Waste was bigger than here. If the land there was improved, then they might see a more spectacular and shocking scenery than here.

Now that the sky had just darkened, they could still see things. Zhao Hai and Green didn't start, but carefully looked at the situation in the field.

In the Ica plains, there was a place to live. On the contrary, there were a lot of living villages. Most of these villages had some thatched houses. The people living in them were all slaves. Only one or two houses looked good. It seemed that the people in charge were looking after the slaves.

There were a lot of such small villages in the Ica plains. In each small village, there were one or two people in charge of dozens to hundreds of slaves. They were distributed throughout the Ica plains and served the Purcell clan for generations.

However, Zhao Hai and Green also noticed that the life of these slaves was much better than the slaves in other places. They ate white flour and their clothes were complete. They were not like the slaves in other places, who were divided into teams, but formed a family. If there were no slave brands on their bodies, they would look more like some poor civilians.
