    Ange was awakened by the sound of pecking. His soul slowly ignited, and waves radiated from the empty eye sockets. He could sense whatever he touched. This was the way the skeleton observed the outside world.

    The soul extended out and landed on Ange's chest ribs, where the pecking sound was heard. A small bird was pecking at the damaged part of Ange's ribs, pecking out the grass seeds embedded there and eating them.

    Ange remained in his original position and did not move, letting the bird clean his body. This was a good thing for him. When the grass seeds embedded inside were wet, they would sprout and swell, breaking his bones.

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

    It¡¯s broken a lot and needs to be replaced

    After a winter of slumber, 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 about this problem, Ange turned his head in distress and looked at the palace 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 troubles him.

    Although the immortal king has been missing for a thousand years, the power that remains in Ange's soul still makes him reluctant to approach the palace.

    ¡°I¡¯ll just use it this year, let¡¯s talk about next year¡± Ange gave up the idea of ??going to the palace to find a replacement skeleton and walked to the fields not far away.

    The place where he got up was a haystack, which was also Ange's home for sleeping and shade. In the past, when the sun was strong during the day, and he couldn't bear the sun's rays, he would hide in the haystack to rest and wait until the sun was about to go down.  It is the normal routine of undead creatures to go out and work until daytime the next day.

    In the past, when he had companions, they would dive into the haystack and crawl out in the evening covered with withered grass.

    Ange found that this was not good. The moisture and darkness in the haystack would cause insects to grow and corrode the bones.

    So Ange would tie the grass stalks into bundles, pile them up into a semi-enclosed cavity, and then drill into the hole. This way, he would be protected from rain and sun, and his bones would be in much better condition than his companions.

    In recent years, he no longer cares much about the sun, but the work schedule he developed in the past still affects him, allowing him to maintain the habit of resting at sunrise and working at sunset. Now it is the evening of the day, and it is time to work hard again.  time period.

    Ange is a little vegetable gardening skeleton on the farm near the Palace of Rest. He is responsible for cultivating fifty acres of farmland. It has been 1,100 years.

    In the past, there were more than sixty vegetable gardening skeletons like Ange on the entire farm, each responsible for cultivating fifty acres of farmland. Ange was just an ordinary one among them. The only special thing was that he probably lived longer than others.  Bar.

    The average skeleton never maintains its bones. It likes to drive away birds and dig into haystacks. Therefore, after more than ten years, the bones on the body become too rotten to be used and fall to the ground.

    Occasionally, higher-level undead creatures will pass by from the sky and find that a certain piece of farmland is deserted. They will know that the responsible skeleton has decayed and will report it. After more than ten days, a new skeleton will be assigned.

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

    However, given the bad relationship between the Immortal Empire and humans, there may not be humans visiting for hundreds of years.

    But what does that matter?  The investment cost was not high, just a few sixty skeletons. It was effortless to maintain the operation of this farm. Later, the senior officials of the Undead Empire even forgot that such a farm existed and maintained it by relying only on inertia.

    In such a farm that relies on inertia to survive, no one has ever noticed Ange, a skeleton that lives a particularly long time. Intelligent advanced undead creatures rarely come here, and he is not decayed, so naturally no one will throw him away.  lost, and he also discovered a way to extend his life.

    Some skeletons are rotten and lose the ability to move, but not the whole body is rotten. Some only have broken hands, some only have rotten lumbar spine, but more often the feet are broken.

    While the skeletons were lying on the ground unable to move, Ange would dismantle the parts of their bodies that were still intact and replace the decayed parts of his body.

    More than a hundred years passed like this, and his companions changed more than ten times. Ange was still surviving in tatters. Then in the 139th year, Ange woke up from his long winter slumber again.  Ge found that the whole world had changed.

    The surroundings become absoluteIt was rightly quiet, without the wails of resentful spirits, the screams of evil spirits, and the advanced undead creatures flying across the sky from time to time. Even the companions on the farm were missing.

    Ange didn't realize what was happening. He repeated the work he had done for more than a hundred years step by step, weeding, plowing, and sowing seeds. It lasted for a week before he noticed that, except for the area he was responsible for,  Everywhere else is deserted.

    Are there any more rotten skeletons?

    As usual, he immediately set out to find replacement skeletons and rummaged through all the abandoned areas. Ange found fifty-nine skeletons that were not seriously decayed, and even the soul fire on them was extinguished.

    At this point, Ange finally felt that something was wrong, but he was just a low-level vegetable-growing skeleton and could not think of anything wrong. However, he had harvested more than fifty intact skeletons, which made him happy for a long time.

    Ange used a method he invented to create hollows in haystacks to store these skeletons. In the next two hundred years, Ange lived peacefully by relying on the replacement of these skeletons.

    Over the past two hundred years, Ange has been completing his work, sowing and harvesting. The harvested crops will leave seeds, and the rest will be dragged to a large cave on the edge of the farm and thrown down the chute.

    The cave is covered with soil, which can preserve crops for a long, long time, and the space inside is very large. If Ange alone could fill the cave, it might take a thousand years.

    Time passes day by day, and the skeleton will eventually be used up. Especially as time goes by, the bones stored in the cavity slowly decay.

    After the last spare skeleton was used up, Ange¡¯s foot was broken, forcing him to limp out of the farm that he had not left for three hundred years.

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

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

    The Palace of Rest is the supreme existence of the Immortal Empire, where the Immortal King who is in charge of the soul and eternal life rests. It exerts natural pressure on low-level undead creatures.

    Ange wandered nearby for several days before he got used to the coercion and stepped into the Palace of Rest. The smell of death here is strong, and the soil on the ground is thick. The soil can deactivate, dry, and preserve all objects.  longer.

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

    "It's a pity that these skeletons that were once stronger than Ange have now lost their souls, leaving only a pile of skeletons. If they were not buried in the soil, they would have rotted and decayed like their counterparts outside.

    Ange picked up a bunch of bones, pieced them together into a complete skeleton, and then transferred his soul to it, transforming into a more advanced gray-bone skeleton.

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

    In this way, Ange returned to the farm and continued his life of resting at sunrise and working at sunset, until the bones in his body decayed again.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
