Chapter 2365: 2365. Grave Stone?



Once Walker knew that the young adventurer group was doing fine, he gave Alice a nod. She knew what he had planned to do since they were nearing the area that the undead ruins were. She knew that Walker wanted to get a closer look at the land around it and discover what had changed.

He had the best mana sense that was within the group. It only made the most sense that he would be the one checking things out. Plus, there were multiple scouts and other hidden figures with the group already. They would be taking care of anything that could cause problems while he scouted ahead alone.

While Walker used the shadow wrapping skill to do this, he left the grove of trees and felt the change immediately.

The distant tower which had been somewhat ominous was left half the size. The remaining had crumbled inward and around but that rubble was unseen from where Walker stood. What he felt though, that was interesting.

The manas were flowing naturally, he could sense all the elemental manas he had sensed before. But he could also sense that the undead were still strong in the area. The uniqueness of undead mana was enough for Walker to know that there was a significant amount of it.

The land itself had also changed. He could see that there were more freestanding eroded stones. Definity part of ruins, but not of the undead ruins which had once been the immortal chasing race's city turned undead city.

While in the elemental planes, Walker had learned a lot about manas. He had learned that they mixed and created entirely unique elemental planes or even just crossroads of elemental planes which might disappear at any second.

One such unique mana was undead. Not truly death and not life itself. Walker had always thought that undead might be a form of mana that was a mix of dark mana and death mana. But he also could understand if undead was a mixture of life and death. The only issue was that he could not understand either mana enough to understand if it was the truth that they made up undead mana.

Regardless, Walker could still sense more clearly that the stones and the ground itself radiated undead mana to a degree. Whether it had been the experiments over the course of many years by the immortal chasing race or not, this entire area was still able to make the dead rise again as skeletons, zombies, and whatever else they could become.

This was what lead him to look at the stones eroding in the ground more carefully. Stones that were not shaped with edges worn away by time the last time he had visited the area. It was an unusual gray color that was different from the rocks on the ground and what normally remained here as part of the earth.

There was a little interference with Walker's mana too. Not a direct, but small interference because the undead mana was clearly stronger here. If he were to try and use healing mana it might be harder. Challenging healers who came here to guard their party's safety.

He also noticed that some plants they had grown in relation to the undead were here. The skeleton lily and the ghost bonnet were two plants that had been grown by Genesis in their experimental greenhouses. They were very tough to grow and had been found in ruins as seeds stored for the future. Here, they were already growing and in much larger ways due to the undead mana. Something that the herbalists did not have access to create or bring to the plants in Genesis.

It could help enlighten the herbalists while allowing for a place to come to harvest them. Walker would have to make sure that the appropriate all around appraisals were done to be compared with the weaker and slower growing versions within their greenhouses. It could shed a lot of light on how to maintain and use these plants in the future.

It could also be a precursor to knowing what monsters might be able to appear here. It was surety that there would be some which needed these sorts of plants and other plants to survive. Now that they were here, they could awaken or be able to readjust from the monsters that had degraded over many years in the nearby areas.

It would even be more interesting if the undead monsters could feed on these plants and herbs growing with undead mana. Would that have the potential to lead to intelligent

undead?

Walker's thoughts nearly overtook him when he noticed the shambling figure behind a large outcropping of gray grave stone. Its movements were jerky, but its body was not as rotted as it could be. "A newer zombie undead..." He looked at it and used the all around appraisal without hesitation.
