Everyone looked at the gaunt old man, silent, waiting for his reaction.
After a while, the gaunt old man raised his head, his face full of doubt.
"That's not right, why does my pet beast seem to be eroded by resentment? This... do we have resentment here?"
He widened his eyes and asked in disbelief.
Resentment can be said to be a necessity for undead pet beasts.
Usually, after being divided up by undead pet beast masters, there is no possibility of anything remaining, let alone so much, and still in the Imperial Academy, even enough to cause Yong Xuehai, a quasi-king of the undead, to crash.
No matter how you think about it, it's impossible.
And the others obviously thought the same as him, all looking at him with a 'are you having a seizure' look.
"I say, you're going too far, right? Resentment can cause this kind of situation?"
A middle-aged man wearing glasses, who looked refined and cultured, opened his mouth and uttered words that didn't match his appearance at all.
"But my pet beast really is showing signs of this kind of condition."
The gaunt old man frowned.
At this time, he also felt that his speculation might be wrong, but his pet beast was indeed in a state after being impacted by resentment.
Resentment can only play a role when the pet beast is weak.
Not to mention them, these quasi-kings, even elite-level pet beasts are unlikely to be blinded by resentment.
After arguing for a long time, the group turned their attention to Qian Er.
After all, Yong Xuehai was not here, and the strongest undead pet beast among this group was this one.
"I'll try."
Qian Er didn't refuse.
He really wanted to see if this black mist had anything to do with the small experiments he did in the apocalyptic world.
The Bloodstained Saint raised the Emperor's Flag that he had been carrying on his shoulder behind him.
The Emperor's Flag opened its eyes and flew towards the black mist.
"Hmm? It really is resentment?"
After opening its mouth and tearing off a few bites of black mist, the Emperor's Flag was stunned for a moment, and the words it said made everyone even more puzzled.
Because, in theory, it's impossible for resentment to remain.
After the undead within the empire die, they probably can't even last long enough to generate resentment.
Although human souls are not allowed to be eaten, it's not like resentment is forbidden.
The dean frowned.
This situation did make him a little at a loss.
"That's not right! Yue!"
The original Emperor's Flag thought it had encountered a high concentration of resentment and wanted to come up and eat a few bites.
But after only taking two bites, it realized something was wrong.
This resentment was poisonous, and it was a poison specifically targeting undead pet beasts.
By the time it reacted, it only felt a burst of colic in its stomach.
After transferring this soul poison to a ghost soldier, watching the ghost soldier scream twice before disappearing without a trace, the Emperor's Flag finally breathed a sigh of relief.
And seeing the Emperor's Flag's appearance, the others realized why this resentment was here.
"Hiss... I really have a bit of an impression of a poison specifically targeting the undead."
At this time, an old man with a hunched back, whose age was indistinguishable, walked out.
Qian Er remembered him.
This man was called Huo Maodian, a grass-type professor at the Imperial Academy, a quasi-king peak pet beast master.
He had established the Imperial Academy with the first dean, and his seniority in the academy could be said to be sky-high.
"Professor Huo, what's going on?"
The dean quickly looked over and respectfully asked Professor Huo Maodian.
Professor Huo stroked his goatee and slowly said.
"This was during the early days of the Myriad Races War.
There were a few races that particularly respected the soul.
In order to prevent their souls from being eaten by undead pet beasts or other alien races that could harm the soul after death, they researched a toxin that acted on the soul.
With this toxin, others would not be able to eat their souls."
"Professor, what happened to those races later?"
Qian Er checked the Emperor's Flag to make sure there was no residual poison on it, and then looked at Professor Huo.
"Later? Later they all died.
Before humans could even take action, they were directly poisoned to death by the toxin that acted on their souls.
The burial ground is this mountain range."
Qian Er was stunned for a moment, then raised his head to look at Professor Huo, his eyes full of 'are you kidding me'.
"You kid, why are you looking at this old man with that look?
I've noticed that you've always had a prejudice against humans.
Don't always think that only humans have self-destructive tendencies.
The myriad races with wisdom all have a little bit of it."
Huo Professor, who was old and cunning, immediately saw the thoughts in Qian Er's eyes and said with a smile.
As for the school being built on a mass grave, no one had any doubts.
After all, it was too normal for schools to be built in such places.
Most of them were built next to cemeteries, crematoriums, mortuaries, and mass graves.
This was the case in both Qian Er's previous world and this world, seemingly because the land here was cheaper.
"Just think about it, how easy is it to control a toxin that can act on the soul?
They accidentally messed up and caused their entire race to be destroyed.
This also served as a reminder to the later myriad races, knowing that this path was impassable, no one ever engaged in this kind of research again."
"This territory used to be the territory of those races.
After they died, many races came to compete for it, and humans were one of them.
Later, humans drove the other races out, and this place became a human habitat, and later became the campus of the Imperial Academy."
Professor Huo walked around the black mist while muttering to himself.
"This kind of poisonous soul caused a lot of trouble for humans in the beginning, but later a solution was researched.
Let me find it, I should remember it."
Emerald green vines grew out of his spine and slowly fell to the top of his head.
The cool grass-type aura poured into his brain, making him feel refreshed.
Without external help, he wouldn't be able to live that long, and this is how he lived that long.
Integrating his pet beast with himself.
However, this method was jointly prohibited by the official governments of various countries more than a hundred years ago because it was too harmful.
But the pet beast masters who had been transformed before had no way to deal with it.
They could only delete the memory of how to merge and continue to live in human society.
ps: It's too outrageous, these two days have been extremely unlucky.
First, someone connected 380 volts of voltage to the residential power lines on our street, burning all the appliances on our street.
My computer, electric heating plate, and electric water heater were all burned.
Today, the government and the insurance company came to repair it.
I couldn't wait for the computer, so I went to find someone to repair it.
Fortunately, only the power supply was burned.
Now I'm going to trade in the old for the new, this chapter was written on my phone.
Then yesterday I don't know what I ate that caused food poisoning, vomiting and diarrhea all night, I was almost exhausted.
I only recovered today, although I'm still having diarrhea, at least my stomach doesn't hurt anymore.
