Chapter 308 Undead Magic! The dark cloud covering the town
The predecessor of Yankou Town was once a famous ancient battlefield, where countless corpses were buried, and there was also a huge Heroic Soul Cemetery. This time, many strange things happened in the Heroic Soul Cemetery. Graves were dug up one after another, and the bones inside were
All were stolen, and a series of residents disappeared in the town. The whole town was shrouded in an atmosphere of terror. People disappeared, people fled, and the population dropped sharply. Even the newly dispatched guards were there.
All gone.
"It is said that some people have seen several walking skeletons outside the town, and some have seen former acquaintances turned into unconscious zombies." Athena said, "Now the people in Yankou Town are unstable, and this matter must be solved as soon as possible.
Something.”
The Sheriff is not only responsible for the security of Darkmoon City, but also for the security of all areas within the territory. This should be Chen Rui's responsibility, but currently it is not appropriate for him to appear in public, so it falls on Athena.
"Zombies..." Chen Rui frowned. Although zombies immediately reminded him of things like Raccoon City and the T-Virus, those were just movie plots from the original world. In this plane, it is impossible to get along with these undead creatures.
There is only undead magic.
Even in the demon world, undead magic is not a popular magic. Most researchers will choose secluded places such as deep mountains and old forests. It is rare to directly attack a densely populated area of an empire like this.
"There is no doubt that there must be a guy who is proficient in necromancy magic behind this." Delia pondered for a moment: "As long as we get rid of this magician, the problem in Yankou Town will naturally be solved."
This sentence was approved by everyone, Athena nodded and said: "Yes, I will lead the guards to Yankou Town now to find and kill the magician."
"I'll go with you." Chen Rui, Delia and Luo Meng said in unison.
Pagliu spoke: "Delia, you have reached the critical moment of becoming the Great Demon King. I think you may break through at any time in the past few days, so you must stay. Luo Meng, you also stay to protect Delia.
, just in case. During this period of time in the Dark Moon, I was almost sick from boredom, so I went with Athena and Chen Rui this time. With me here, I waved my hand, and that magician turned into ashes.
"
Due to the mental shackles, Delia's advancement is very difficult. She has been stuck at the peak of the Demon King for a long time. Lomon was originally below her in strength, but now he has broken through to the Great Demon King, but Delia still has not been able to break through this hurdle.
Fortunately, there is that kind of wonderful aurora ice in the underground secret cave where the Mellon family originally lived, which brings Delia one level closer to a breakthrough. As long as she can reach the big devil and add the effect of the phantom shield, her soul
The danger of the shackles will be greatly reduced. If one can transcend Bai Luo's realm, then the mental shackles will automatically disappear. However, this is very difficult, and the best way is to kill Bai Luo.
When Luo Meng heard that Delia had reached the critical moment of breakthrough, he immediately stopped insisting and agreed.
In this way, Pagliu, Chen Rui and Athena set out for Yankou Town with fifty guards. To really deal with the magician, one or two would be enough. The purpose of the guards was to maintain the chaotic order.
Araux stayed in Darkmoon City to continue training soldiers and organizing battle ball training. In order not to affect Delia, this operation also brought along the bored Diudiu and the little dark horse who didn't like Lomon.
Originally, Delia and Athena wanted to give the Nightmare Beast a name, but the Nightmare Beast was used to hearing Chen Rui call him "Little Dark Horse", so they decided on this very unclassy name, leaving everyone speechless.
Naturally, Chen Rui would not use his true identity, but just disguised himself as a magician. Pagliu was a swordsman, and the two were generals from the Wells family of Warlock Fortress.
Four days later, the team arrived at Yankou Town. Due to the decades of economic depression in Darkmoon City, several towns within the territory are generally poor and backward, and cannot be compared with other territories. The population of Yankou Town is not large, except for
Afterwards, this stall looked even more dilapidated.
The first thing Athena did when she entered the town was to find the mayor Shi Ke, a big fat devil. The territorial sheriff is equivalent to the most powerful person after the lord, especially the army, the mayor
Shi Ke was from the Seifer family and knew Athena's origins, and his attitude was extremely flattering. Athena was too lazy to talk to him and directly asked about what happened in Yankou Town.
Shi Ke spoke hesitantly as if he was afraid of being blamed. About two months ago, many graves in the Cemetery of Heroes were dug up. According to reports from the people sent there, those graves were dug from the inside out.
In other words, the bones were "resurrected" and came out automatically. Shi Ke wanted to report this matter to Darkmoon City at that time, but the defense captain Heman stopped him, saying that further investigation was needed before reporting it. Shi Ke considered that Mei Mei at that time
The Long family and the Seifer family were fighting fiercely, and this matter might be exploited by the Mellon family, so they adopted Seaman's opinion. As a result, the situation got worse. Not long ago, even Seaman himself disappeared, and Shi Ke didn't dare
If you keep hiding it, report it to Darkmoon City immediately.
Athena frowned. Shi Ke had unshirkable responsibility for not reporting this matter. Although she was not good at politics, she also understood that the Seifer family was a firm supporter of the eldest princess Shia, and was not currently
When looking for responsibility, the magician must be dealt with as quickly as possible.
Athena did not stay in Shike's mayor's mansion, but came to the original defense station and led the soldiers to garrison. At present, everyone in the town was in danger and panic all day long. They urgently needed to stabilize people's hearts. According to Chen Rui's opinion, everyone acted separately.
, Athena integrated the remaining guards in the town and arranged patrols separately to appease the emotions of the townspeople. Pagliu went to the cemetery to investigate the situation, while Chen Rui went to the town to further inquire about intelligence and learn more about the inside story.
When Chen Rui returned to the defense base, Pagliu had already returned. According to Poison Dragon's observation, the breath of undead magic did exist in the Heroic Soul Cemetery, and the purity of that breath was very high, and it was more powerful than imagined. With Pagliu
According to Leo's experience, this magician has probably reached the Demon King level.
Due to her age and incomplete digestion of her inherited power, Shia's strength is only that of the peak demon king, which is weaker than the other three major lords. Demon king-level powerhouses are second to none in the Dark Moon Territory. No wonder they dare to openly
Target densely populated areas.
Of course, this "second to none" has the effect of black potion and aurora black ice without counting Pagliu. Poison Dragon's strength has returned to the peak of the Demon Emperor level, coupled with the original Demon Emperor level combat experience and insights
, there should be no opponent at the Demon King level. Unfortunately, due to the ancient runes, Pagliu can only stop here and can no longer advance. If the opponent is the Demon King level and has poisonous dragons, there should not be much of a chance.
question.
Chen Rui's gains are not small. He used disguises and other methods to get a lot of information. As the mayor, Shi Ke's reputation is not very good. He has taken bribes and bullied the townspeople. Defense Captain Seaman is not much better. His methods are not very good.
Cruel, anyone who offends him will be imprisoned in a secret black prison, with basically no possibility of survival. If the undead incident were not so terrifying, everyone would applaud He-Man's disappearance this time. According to the townspeople, skeletons and zombies
It once appeared in the direction of Black Rock Mountain to the north and Rock Mountain to the west. Black Rock Mountain was nothing more than Black Rock Mountain. Rock Mountain was originally a ghost place where Yankou Town talked about it. Some brave people once entered and no one survived. Now no one dares to approach this place anymore.
Two zones.
Pagliu nodded and said: "Let's eat something and rest first. We will split up tonight. I will go to Rock Mountain, and Chen Rui will go to Black Rock Mountain! Put the skeleton made by the undead magician into his mouth!"
Chen Rui frowned and said, "I always feel that this matter is not that simple."
"Don't complicate a simple problem. There is nothing to hesitate. Just find out the undead magician and you will understand everything." Pagliu said disapprovingly and immediately made the decision: "Athena is the leader of the guard army.
, please stay here with Diudiu, it’s just a little necromancer, Chen Rui and I can deal with it as quickly as possible."
As night fell, a dark figure appeared in the woods at the foot of Black Rock Mountain. It was Chen Rui riding a little black horse.
For the sake of caution, Chen Rui had already put on a set of equipment, and he always wore the thunder ring around his neck. The attribute of doubling the damage of undead creatures should work wonders in this kind of battle.
At this moment, there was sudden movement in front of them. A white skeleton appeared in the sight of the two people, and then another one, more and more... Under the moonlight shining through the forest, there were densely packed,
A piece of jagged white bones makes people's hair stand on end.
Race: Skeleton (undead), comprehensive strength assessment: e-. Physical e-, strength e, mental f-, agility f.
The skeleton man sensed the non-undead aura of Chen Rui and the little black horse, and slowly surrounded them. The moving skeleton made a heart-wrenching squeaking sound. The overall strength was that of an early-stage mid-level demon. This kind of strength was not suitable for Chen Rui and Pug.
For Li Wu, no matter how many there are, it is useless. Chen Rui punched in the air and hit the skeleton at the front. The half of his body was immediately shattered. The lower limbs were still walking, but they were quickly destroyed by the raging aftermath.
destroy.
Chen Rui remembered that Pagliu said that necromancers like to use the crowd tactic the most. It is best not to waste strength and time in vain. He immediately mobilized the little black horse and punched quickly along the way, crushing all the approaching skeletons.
The little black horse was very fast. Before the skeleton could get close, it had already passed through the encirclement and passed through the woods before long.
Although the road was bumpy, the little black horse was on smooth ground. The mountain road of Black Rock Mountain has been completely occupied by undead creatures. The combat power of these undead creatures is not very strong. The highest zombie leader has only reached the first stage of high-level demons, but the number
Chen Rui was secretly frightened by the horror. These undead creatures could only number in the thousands in total. If they were to form an army, with their immortality, once they faced the Dark Moon's guards, even if the guards could win, they would still have to win.
The price paid is also quite heavy.
What's more, thousands of undead creatures are not necessarily the limit of this magician. Once they reach a sufficient quantity or even quality, they will be enough to threaten the security of the entire Dark Moon Territory.
