The Scourge of the Undead: Starting with Building Monster Farms

Chapter 33 The Contract: A Drowned Corpse with Perfect Qualifications!

As the smoke slowly dissipated, cheers erupted from all around, as monsters celebrated their master's victory.

Su He paid no attention to the cheers led by the witch; his attention remained fixed on the Drowned King.

Using architectural blueprints to generate buildings to launch attacks was a method he came up with on the spur of the moment, and he didn't know how powerful this attack would actually be.

The Drowned King was not in good health at the time, and Su He was also a little worried that he might accidentally kill it.

Following the cobblestone wall forward, we finally saw the Drowned King at the end of the wall.

At this moment, the Drowned King was trapped under the cobblestones, its emerald green body turning bright red and its health steadily decreasing, clearly stuck by the blocks.

Su He did not release the Drowned Corpse King immediately. For him, now was the perfect time to make a pact with the Drowned Corpse King.

He wasn't worried at all about the opponent being crushed to death by the blocks, as he could clearly see the Drowned King's remaining health.

The opponent has a built-in healing ability, so they can easily last for more than ten minutes.

The contract was completed, all the blocks that had been trapping the Drowned King were removed, and its true form was pulled out.

The Drowned King, now seeing the light of day again, had a blank, vacant look in his eyes.

It slowly stood up, supporting itself with its trident. After seeing clearly what had knocked it back and pinned it down, it was stunned for a moment.

"So, you defeated me with a city wall?" The Drowned King, leaning on his trident, looked at Su He in confusion.

"That seems to be the case."

Su He did not evade the question, but looked at the Drowned King with a calm gaze, quietly waiting for the other party's next move.

The Drowned King was fully aware of this and knew exactly what choice he had to make.

It held a trident in one hand and placed the other on its chest, kneeling on one knee in front of Su He.

"As agreed, you defeated me, and I will pledge my allegiance to you from now on."

"But I can't make all my kind like me. They have their own thoughts and are willing to worship me as their king only because I can lead them away from here."

The Drowned King's tone was sincere yet tinged with sadness, clearly indicating that he had failed to meet the expectations of his kind and felt somewhat dejected.

"Your clan? They are of no concern to me."

"From beginning to end, the only person I care about is you. I don't care whether they can escape or not, otherwise I wouldn't have agreed to duel with you in the first place."

"What I need are warriors who possess advanced intelligence and are powerful enough."

"All your fellow tribesmen who escaped with you combined are no match for you alone. In my eyes, you are a unique being."

The Drowned King listened quietly and could clearly sense that every word Su He said was true, without a trace of falsehood.

"You can go to your kind now and tell them that those who are willing to continue to follow you and submit to me can all stay."

"As for those who do not wish to stay, I will not make things difficult for them; they are free to leave on their own."

"As long as they don't do anything to get in my way, I don't care what they do."

Su He reached out his hand to the Drowned King, who was deep in thought. However, the Drowned King did not immediately respond. Instead, he looked up at him, preparing to ask the question that had been hidden in his heart for so long.

"Those monsters, especially the one in the black hat, all call you the creator god, and say that you created us with your own hands."

"I have just witnessed your power firsthand. Perhaps what they said is true; if so, perhaps you can help me answer this question."

"Of course, as your servant, I must obtain your consent before asking this question."

The Drowned King's words surprised Su He slightly, but also piqued his curiosity about the question.

He didn't retract his outstretched hand, and spoke in a calm yet confident tone.

"Ask me anything, there's nothing I don't know about you."

After hearing Su He's affirmative answer, the Drowned Corpse King finally asked the question that had been hidden deep in his heart.

"Actually, I didn't always look like this. It was only after the incident and entering that building that I became the person I am today."

"After the transformation, I always thought that my kind were the same as me, and that they were transformed after entering this place."

"But later I gradually realized that my situation was completely different from theirs. Do you know why?"

"Before you became like this, were you just an ordinary zombie, the kind that's all green?"

Faced with Su He's sudden question, the Drowned Corpse King slowly nodded.

This rhetorical question further confirms that the other party must know the answer to the question.

The Drowned Corpse King waited quietly for the answer, while Su He had already roughly guessed its origin.

This Drowned King is most likely the strange zombie that escaped from Number One's clutches.

However, according to the information provided by Number One, the strange drowned at that time did not have the strength that the Drowned King has now.

So it must have been the transformation process from a zombie to a drowned that caused the mutation after the zombie escaped into the drowned monster spawn area.

Could it be that different transformation methods of zombies refresh the monster's aptitude?

A new idea popped into Su He's mind: the Drowned King might be an exception, but if this were possible, it would be a huge change for his monster army.

"It's because of the water."

"Your current appearance is actually a variant of a zombie. Whether it's you or the zombies under my command, they will all turn into this form if they stay in water for a long time."

"Besides the zombie and drowned forms, you also have a third mutated form called the husk."

"It's just that my territory doesn't meet the conditions for mutation, so you've never seen it before."

"Essentially, you are all the same; the only differences are in appearance and ability."

After hearing Su He's explanation, the Drowned King's long-standing doubts were resolved. He then raised his hand and placed it in Su He's palm, and was pulled up by him.

"What, you're asking these questions because you want to go back to how you used to be?"

Su He looked the Drowned King up and down. Once a zombie is transformed into a drowned, it cannot be reversed. Even if there were a way to reverse it, he would never allow the Drowned King to turn back to its original form.

"No, although I don't like how I am now, it's undeniable that this transformation has given me tremendous power."

"Returning to the original state goes against my desire to become stronger. Moreover, I believe you would never want to see such an outcome, my master."

The Drowned Corpse King called out the word "Master" with utmost sincerity.

Su He noticed the change in the Drowned Corpse King's tone, but his expression remained unchanged as he slowly asked.

"Any more questions?"

"there is none left."

Realizing that Su He might be about to issue a task to it, the Drowned King knelt on one knee again, bowing its head and waiting for Su He to issue the order.

"Then do as I said before, bring all the drowned corpses who are willing to follow you and submit to me, and let those who are not leave on their own."
