A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees

Chapter 2067: Chapter 606: Burial Winter Valley

…

Eastern Arcane Wilderness.

Hundreds of Storluk’s spaceships are taking off rapidly.

At first, Matthew thought they were coming for him.

But he quickly realized that those spaceships weren’t showing any signs of attack; instead, they wanted to retreat!

“They want to escape?”

Matthew’s expression turned cold.

The conflict between him and the space undead had long been irreconcilable, and the defense battle for Storluk was imminent.

According to his original plan.

After advancing to legendary, he was supposed to deal with these space undead that had infiltrated the Arcane Wilderness.

Unexpectedly, the other side was quite cunning.

“Did they perceive my advancement to legendary and thus directly abandon this long-held area?”

“That’s quite decisive…”

Matthew frowned.

This decision-making style was clean and crisp, quite in line with the space undead’s way of doing things.

Lulu looked at those departing white lights.

Suddenly.

Pain flashed in her eyes:

“Matthew, I heard a voice…”

“It’s the voice of the Ice Empress.”

“She’s calling us…”

“She seems to be in pain!”

Matthew nodded slightly.

He wasn’t sure if it was a coincidence, but ever since those spaceships left the ground, he also perceived a faint summons.

Except this summons wasn’t strong.

If not for Matthew’s current transcendent Insight, he might have accidentally overlooked it.

He concentrated and listened for a while.

Soon he confirmed that the painful summons was being transmitted through the “Empress’s Scepter” he possessed.

Apparently.

The reason Lulu could hear it too was because she was holding the sceptre belonging to the High Priestess.

“It should be the queen of the Fairy Flower Garden, no mistake.”

Matthew made a judgment.

“Shall we go and take a look?”

Urgency flickered in Lulu’s eyes.

It was clear.

She was eager to quickly head over near Storluk Industries’ base to investigate the situation.

However, on the level of specific decision-making.

She still valued Matthew’s opinion highly.

This aspect made Matthew quite gratified.

Lulu’s growth speed had far exceeded his expectations.

Not only in strength and physique but also on the level of mentality…

“A fairy that can become a High Priestess is indeed different from ordinary fairies.”

Matthew secretly praised in his heart.

He then decisively said:

“Let’s go take a look.”

At present.

The group flew towards the eastern part of the wilderness at the fastest speed possible.

Lulu flew the fastest, leading the way the whole time.

Matthew, however, was much more composed.

He only focused about a third of his attention on the path ahead and on Lulu.

More.

He was still probing the surrounding situation.

“If Storluk Industries decided to completely abandon this base, then they could have left traps or bombs in the base…”

“With the boldness of the space undead, this is not a difficult decision to make.”

Even after advancing to legendary.

Matthew remained extremely cautious.

However, they did not encounter any obstacles along the way.

Before long.

They entered the territory of Storluk Industries.

Following the “Great Stream” route Coco mentioned, heading east, the terrain gradually flattened, and factories with towering chimneys rose in succession, neatly standing on the plains downstream.

They circled these factories a few times.

There was no gain.

After a moment.

Lulu suddenly pointed to an unremarkable hill in the distance and said:

“Over there!”

With that, she flew over.

When she flew above the hill and quickly chanted a short incantation, the originally low hill suddenly transformed—

The surrounding light began to distort.

Strange mirrors made of transparent crystals suspended in the air became exposed.

Then.

Matthew saw the hill rise dozens of times, transforming into a small, sprawling mountain range.

And at the heart of the mountain range, there was a picturesque valley with streams trickling through it.

In the valley were many glass houses.

In the largest of those glass buildings, something seemed to be floating.

“Be careful.”

With Matthew’s permission and reminder.

Lulu was the first to land in front of the giant glass building in the valley.

Matthew circled around twice to confirm there were no problems before entering the valley.

But as his right foot stepped onto the valley soil.

His Insight suddenly pricked sharply—

After a few seconds.

The prickling sensation vanished.

Everything returned to normal.

Matthew quietly raised his head, gazing at the faintly flashing white light on the horizon, his eyes full of disdain.

On the data panel.

…

“Warning: You have been locked onto by the ultimate weapon of the ‘Wasp Sequence’ – the Crystal Annihilation Matrix!

Lock canceled.

The fleet equipped with the Wasp Sequence finally evacuated the Arcane Wilderness…”

…

What is this?

A warning?

Provocation?

Or a precaution against me pressing the chase?

Matthew indifferently lowered his head.

“Looks like the commander of this base is a decisive yet cautious fellow.”

“The space undead’s evacuation plan might not have been issued on the fly, but my advancement forced them to move up their actions.”

“Even so, most of the valuable things in the base were taken or destroyed…”

“He didn’t make a move against me, just locked me with some sort of weapon sequence, so it was probably just Intimidation, expressing his intent—he only wants a safe retreat, not to be my enemy?”

But as opposing sides, won’t we have to fight eventually?

Does it mean this force has another escape route besides the Storluk Planet?

Interesting.
