Chapter 173 Dark Beings
Since there was a method to earn ZC by killing Dark Beings, he thought of it as an investment.
Thereby, the information file was downloaded onto his star watch, and he opened it to see what made these Dark Beings earn this price and hatred of Zodiac Warrior Alliance.
As Jacob read the introduction, he started to frown, and soon after, shock surfaced in his eyes as he read more and more.
It turned out that the Dark Beings are the natural enemy of any being with Life Signal because they wanted to devour them!
As for what Life Signal was, it was described as an aura of life or the proof that someone is alive and every being had a unique life signal, and a dead creature didn\'t have a Life Signal.
The Dark Beings didn\'t have a Life Signal either because they weren\'t alive in the first place; they were like Undead!
Although it wasn\'t described how a Dark Being was born or from where they came, it was made clear that every Dark Being had a natural tendency to devour living beings.
Because the more lifeforms they devour, the stronger they become, unlike any normal being, and the stronger species they consume, the stronger they grow.
Not only that, but they were intelligent and had their own nation on top of that, and it was called the Wild Nation. It was as large as the four powers combined since no one had ever managed to go deeper into their territory and come back alive.
The Wild Nation was also the exact reason the four powers couldn\'t annex or explore any more territories of the Rare Plains.
The Rare Freedom Plains were special because those Dark Beings couldn\'t step foot into the territory of the Rare Freedom Plains for some strange reason. That\'s why the level-1 natives didn\'t know about the Wild Nation, and it was kept a secret not to cause panic.
Only by joining the army those natives came in contact with the Dark Beings and know the true terror of Rare Plains.
That\'s also where the three hegemonies came into the picture because, without them, the Rare Freedom Plains would not be able to develop so much and fight with the Wild Nation. That\'s why they were indispensable.
Although the Dark Beings threatened all living beings of the Rare Freedom Plains, they were also good for nurturing warriors, and their bodies had rare resources which fetched a high price in the market.
\'Wild Nation, the nation of Dark Beings, and there were still Rare Wilderness Plains. This place is simply too big, and freedom plains didn\'t have the power to explore it.\' Jacob frowned as he presumed.
This place was simply too dangerous even for someone like him, and these Dark Beings were not something he wanted to trifle with for no good reason.
But they were declared the common enemy of every living being, and killing them gave lavish rewards.
When the introduction was finished, a picture appeared with information that widened Jacob\'s eyes slightly.
It was a skeleton holding a rusty sword with information on the side.
\'Skeleton Soldier, Rare-Tier-1, Fighter Category.
\'One of the most common Dark Beings of Wild Nation. Their intelligence is low; they listen to any order and have simple attack patterns. But killing is most cumbersome because only by crushing their skulls could they truly be killed or will continue to attack even if they had to crawl.\'
\'They\'re really undead!\' Jacob exclaimed in his heart. He never thought he would come into contact with the Undead Creatures of all things.
He then continued to look, and more skeleton soldiers appeared with different tiers holding weapons and armor.
At this moment, Jacob finally sees a new creature. It had withered pale skin with completely white eyeballs and a strange slimy substance coming from its nasty mouth.
\'Toxic Zombie, Rare-Tier-6 Fighter Category.
\'One of the deadliest Dark Beings with a body filled with all kinds of toxic components. Just a scratch from a Toxic Zombie is more lethal than any mortal wound, and without an Advance Rare Grade Antidot, the victim will die!
\'The weakness of a Toxic Zombie is its head; without crushing, it will keep coming back!\'
Jacob inhaled sharply when he read it, \'Aren\'t Zombies supposed to turn others into Zombies? But here, they even have an antidote for it? Weill, I guess either they didn\'t have full information on it, or it\'s simply because of the species difference, or it might be because of the Advance Rare Grade Antidote.\'
The items were graded much differently in this place. There was the Common Grade with Basic, Intermediate, and Advance levels and then the Rare Grade with the same three levels.
There was also the Extraordinary Grade with the same three levels, but the items of this grade were too precious and expensive.
After an hour, Jacob finished reading the Types of Dark Beings in Rare Plains. His expression was solemn as this new information forced him to reevaluate the rare plains again.
Truth be told, he never thought there would be undead creatures like Dark Beings in the Rare Plains, and they were too mysterious. What made Jacob frown was why the three hegemonies didn\'t get rid of them if they were so powerful since they clearly connected with higher plains than the Rare Plains.
Either they simply didn\'t care, or they left those Dark Beings alone to give the rare species pressure and a common enemy to fight against and evolve faster.
Because he knew he would do the same if he was far above the rare plains and wanted to nurture powerful fighters.
Nevertheless, Jacob was elated because these dark beings also have magic cores of all elements, and he didn\'t need to offend anyone but the dark beings to collect the magic cores!
