Avril explained, "You can also directly carve onto the magic materials to create magic or enchanted items."

"Oh, oh."

Gang Le scratched his head, "Chris and I always thought it was the lizardmen's sacrifice."

"Sacrifice is also a kind of array, if it possesses extraordinary power."

Avril introduced, "The essence of a sacrifice is to communicate with other extraordinary beings, but now many alien races just treat it as a kind of spiritual comfort, all fake."

"You've learned quite a lot of knowledge during this time."

Luo De looked at Avril somewhat unexpectedly, then said, "These lizardmen put in so much effort, it doesn't seem fake."

"Durant, what did you find out from the interrogation?" Luo De looked at Durant.

"Very little information."

Durant shook his head somewhat helplessly,

"Those willing to talk don't have any useful information, they only say their leader gave orders, and many lizardmen are digging these burial pits."

"And there's a Kamas who keeps silent, already tortured beyond recognition."

Durant explained, "The soldiers used all sorts of cruel methods, and he kept murmuring 'the judgment shall return, the extreme cold will purify the entire world.'"

"Another set of religious beliefs?"

Luo De couldn't remember how many kinds of divine faiths he'd seen in this world.

Luo De sighed, carefully savoring the words Kamas said,

"The return of judgment... so that array is undead resurrection?"

Luo De looked at Avril and said, "Check for arrays related to undead resurrection, or those created by powerful undead creatures, and see if there's anything similar."

"OK."

Avril picked up "How the Undead Legion is Built" and started searching, and Vivian also opened "Blood Sacrifice and Otherworld Summoning."

The two shared all information, what Avril knew Vivian naturally knew as well.

Luo De looked up at Durant, "I didn't expect the lizardmen to have such a hard backbone, is that Kamas still alive?"

"Barely, their life force is very tenacious."

Durant smiled helplessly, "The Snow Rabbit People who are translating said that apart from that sentence, everything else is curses."

"It seems he has a lot of faith in the god he worships."

Luo De looked at the burial pit on the map, "Then we can't let this death return happen."

"The way we're treating its followers, if it returns, won't it turn us all into ice sculptures?"

Gang Le couldn't help but shiver, "Sounds a bit scary."

Just then, Avril pushed a tome in front of everyone,

"Found it, there's a similar array here, the Undead Melting Furnace."

"An array composed of a large amount of blood and flesh can absorb these powers."

"Then these powers of flesh are imbued into a single undead creature, making it extraordinarily powerful."

Avril's fingers slid over the pages, explaining word by word,

"But this summoned entity has no consciousness, only great strength, and completely obeys the caster's instructions."

"No consciousness, doesn't sound like a worshipable god."

Luo De commented, frowning.

Avril retorted, "But this array requires many burial pits, and the range can be very large."

"The drawing requirements of the array's pattern aren't strict, and look, the shape at the corner of this array is very similar to the connected points on the map now."

"Summon a powerful undead creature..."

Luo De murmured, speculating, "Could it be the ancestors of those lizardmen? Is their shaman an undead mage?"

As Luo De pondered, Vivian also pushed up the book in her hand,

"Sister, here's another array, it seems quite similar too."

She said seriously, "Sacred Blood and Flesh Offering, using the power of flesh as a guide, sacrificing all creatures and natural forces within the array."

"Then this power is injected into a sleeping or dead powerful creature, reviving it."

Avril nodded thoughtfully, "This sounds in line with the worship of an extraordinary existence."

"Then this sacrifices all creatures in the array?"

Luo De froze for a moment, staring intently at the burial pits on the map

--the lines connecting the burial pits seem to wrap up the land including the Icefield Mountain Range,

"The lizardmen intend to sacrifice all creatures in the Glacier Mountain Range?!"

"That's too ruthless!"

Everyone widened their eyes, all looking at the map.

The atmosphere in the room instantly became heavy.

"If this is true..."

Everyone couldn't help but take a deep breath, Avril lamented, "This would lead to the extinction of all creatures in the Icefield Mountain Range."

"What a powerful creature it must revive!"

Gang Le swallowed, "A god?"

"It seems what that Kamas lizardman said isn't nonsense."

Luo De said in a deep voice.

Gang Le asked quietly, "Then which of these two is real?"

Everyone looked at each other, no one could be sure.

Both sound very possible.

"So what's the difference between these two arrays?"

Luo De explained, "I mean, in terms of the method to destroy these arrays."

"My Undead Melting Furnace requires destroying the undead core, otherwise, it only weakens the summoned undead's power."

Avril explained, "Vivian just mentioned the Sacred Blood and Flesh Offering, which requires destroying enough array nodes, the burial pits, without enough sacrifices it won't revive or awaken."

"They really are different..."

Luo De pondered for a moment, "Let's ask that lizardman, Kamas."

...

...

Everyone followed Luo De to the prison.

Avril didn't come.

After days of running in the desert, Luo De let her get a good night's sleep.
