The Scourge of the Undead: Starting with Building Monster Farms

Chapter 31 Gods Do Not Shed Blood

"Master? No... all we want is freedom." The Drowned King walked at the front and looked at Su He.

Now, the Drowned King knew in his heart that he could no longer lead the entire Drowned horde away.

If they only seek to save themselves, they might still have a chance to escape.

But it did not choose to do so. Instead, it resolutely stood at the front of the group, its eyes fixed on Su He.

"You fool..."

The witch wanted to say something more to the Drowned King, but was quickly stopped by her master.

Since coming into contact with Su He's almost godlike power, the witch has become a fanatical follower of him.

He had been watching the witch's transformation closely, and even secretly encouraged it.

But gradually, Su He realized that something was wrong.

Perhaps the witch acted too fanatically, and the image he originally wanted to establish in the monster's mind began to distort in the opposite direction.

Therefore, it's best for the witch to stop her behavior in a certain way, lest she completely turn Suho's image into that of an evil god, which would be detrimental to his rule over these intelligent monsters.

In the legends of Minecraft, HIM, this evil god, is mostly a boss in fan fiction, and also the target of players and righteous monsters.

Monsters often rise up to rebel against Him.

Su He didn't want such a thing to happen on his territory, so he asked the Drowned Corpse King.

"Freedom? When have I ever restricted your freedom?"

"I will take any intelligent life I discover with me."

"As long as they complete the tasks I assign, they can do whatever they want. Isn't that freedom enough?"

Su He said this without batting an eye, and the monsters around him also felt it made perfect sense, since that was indeed how he treated them.

In reality, he had never brought out the intelligent drowned zombie in the monster-hunting area, which was the Drowned King in front of him.

However, every time Su He came to the Drowned Monster Farm, the Drowned King deliberately avoided him, so this didn't reveal any flaws.

As for those lowly, mindless drowned corpses, freedom is of no concern to them.

Aside from using them to complete tasks, Su He felt they were completely useless and would only take up space in the monster-killing area.

With a higher-level monster-hunting area, these low-level monsters aren't even good enough to be cannon fodder for him.

"You think I imprisoned you with that giant building, but in reality, without that building, you would never have been born."

The Drowned Corpse King remained silent after hearing Su He's words.

Having spent so long in the Drowned Monster Farm, it knew perfectly well that what the other party said was true.

From its initial birth as a zombie, it has now transformed into a drowned zombie.

After these days of experience, it has vaguely found the answer to the origin of itself and the monsters around it.

The Drowned King knew very well that without this large, water-filled building, these drowned corpses around him would never have appeared.

The Drowned King was also aware that Su He treated these intelligent monsters quite well.

His monsters were all dressed in fine armor, which even made them unafraid of the deadly sunlight.

Although Su He doesn't care about the life or death of these monsters that don't belong to him, and might even actively slaughter them for some unknown purpose.

But the Drowned King doesn't see anything wrong with this approach; if it were in its place, it would do the same.

Having gone through all of this, the Drowned King finally understood one thing.

As long as you are strong enough, it doesn't matter what you do; anything that can make you stronger is worth doing.

The reason why I am being hunted by the iron golem, why I have become like this, and why I am surrounded by it is because there is only one reason—it is not strong enough.

"What birth or anything like that? All I know is that from the moment I opened my eyes, I was imprisoned there by you, and you never even considered taking me out!"

Su He looked at the one that stood out from the group of drowned zombies and almost immediately realized that it was the one that Number One had mentioned before, the one that had challenged the Drowned King.

He was too lazy to answer such a boring question, and right now, he had just the right "mouth substitute" to speak for him.

"Fool, didn't your master make it clear enough? Your master created you. Without your master, you wouldn't even be here. What's the point of talking about freedom!"

Before the witch could finish speaking, she threw a bottle of potion directly at the drowned corpse.

The Drowned King did not stop it, letting the potion bottle fall into the horde of drowned corpses behind him. He remained silent for a moment before speaking.

"I can submit to you, but there is one thing I must confirm."

"Whether you are stronger than me or not, only the stronger are worthy of my following. This is the only truth I have ever understood since I was born."

Even though he was at a disadvantage and surrounded, the Drowned King still spoke his mind.

It is not afraid of death, but it must follow the beliefs it has come to understand these past few days.

Although the man before him commanded many powerful monsters, the Drowned Corpse King couldn't help but doubt Su He's true strength when he saw Su He's thin body.

"Arrogant! Who do you think you are, daring to challenge your master!"

Su He did not reply to the Drowned King's provocation.

Because for him now, the process of contracting the Drowned King may not need to be very complicated.

All you need to do is say a few words to put the Drowned King at ease, or simply accept its challenge, find an excuse to get close to it, and complete the contract.

But doing so would seem dishonorable and would damage the persona I had just created among the monsters... no, I mean the divine persona.

Furthermore, Su He has relied on the system and the monster army from the very beginning until now. He himself doesn't even know how strong he really is.

Moreover, leveling up your profession doesn't just mean being able to contract with higher-level monsters.

Both of them are at level seven. Even if the Drowned King has special abilities, if he can't even defeat it, the "divine setting" that he has painstakingly maintained will eventually collapse completely.

Looking at the various combat supplies in his backpack, Su He's lips curled up slightly, and he gladly accepted the Drowned King's suggestion.

"Master, you..."

The witch was puzzled by her master's behavior. It wasn't that she was worried that Suhe would lose, but rather that she felt that the other party was not worthy of fighting her master.

In reality, if Su He had a monster at his disposal that could confront the Drowned King head-on, he would never have chosen to go into battle himself.

"When and where do you want to start?"

No sooner had Su He finished speaking than the Drowned Corpse King gripped his trident tightly and charged straight at him.

The Drowned King was extremely fast, but he was only slightly faster than Su He, and the two were evenly matched.

What really troubled Su He was the Drowned King's innate ability.

"It says you are the god who created us, so I'm curious, does a god... bleed?"

Su He dodged the attack by sidestepping, and then the Drowned Corpse King's cold voice came.

Looking at the monster wielding two tridents, a contemptuous smile curled at the corner of his lips as he slowly spoke.

"God does not shed blood, but you do."
