Versatile Mage: Undying Fire

Chapter 109: Big Corpse General

In the Xianchi area, you can always see some fine sand. It is said that if these sands are nourished by death energy for a long time, they can become nutrients for the dead souls.

As they walked along, they indeed discovered that many undead were picking up the white sand that had absorbed the energy of the moonlight and the Dead Marsh, just like panning for gold in the waves.

The undead near the crowd were some distance away from the outer city wall, so they just wandered around, silently looking for something that could help their bodies, whether it was bones eroded by wind and sand, or debris bitten by wild dogs! They would press them on their bodies.

"We have a good way to ward off evil spirits, so these undead spirits are not as scary as we imagined." said a bearded follower beside the woman in black silk stockings.

"This gray garlic is harder to find than gold, and it cannot be planted. It mostly grows in areas where there are piles of undead. It relies on dead human flesh as nutrients to grow. Only the people in Weiju Village know how to pick it. The quantity is limited each year. If it weren't for my brother who has half Weiju Village bloodline, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to get this thing for you." The short man said with a smile.

The strong man next to him also smiled naively, and his eyes secretly glanced at the woman in black stockings. He estimated that this was the most attractive woman he had ever seen in his life.

"Yangyang Village is not far ahead. The night is still long, so we can take a rest up front." The short man said, pointing to the small hill ahead.

"There are rules in the village. If you want to go in, you'd better abide by them." The strong man reminded everyone at this time.

Everyone nodded to indicate that there was no problem.

They reached the hillside smoothly and walked down the hillside. Everyone wanted to see the small mountain village in the lair of the undead, but they could only see some piles of wood and there was no mountain village at all.

Continue looking in another direction, there is nothing but black mud except for a few bumpy underground caves!

"How dare you play tricks on us?" The bearded man said angrily at this moment.

"I... I don't know what's going on." The short man's face changed in an instant and he turned his gaze to the strong man.

The strong man's eyes are now full of astonishment, and he looks like he is doubting his life.

He started running, running madly down the slope.

There was not even a hut to be seen in the messy woods, let alone a village!

But the strong man was like a madman. Even though there were a few undead wandering around him, he didn't care at all.

"This map shows that Yangyang Village is indeed located here, but..." Liu Ru lowered her head and looked at the map.

Liu Xian also looked at the map curiously.

"Yes, yes, the map is correct. I really didn't lie to you." The short man said hurriedly.

“What about the village??”

"I do not know either."

"unless……"

Looking at the distraught look of the strong man, everyone could see that this was indeed the location of Yangyang Village.

But now this village has disappeared.

If there were wooden stake walls, ruins of houses, and some scattered objects, it would prove that the village once existed, but now there are only some scattered wood and the rest is black soil, nothing else.

"Could it be that Weiju Village couldn't escape the riot of the undead?" Liu Ru asked this question at this time.

"Maybe. Maybe the new undead rulers don't respect these indigenous people..."

Several people walked down the hillside together and found that this place had obvious signs of burning. There were charcoal and piles of ashes all over the ground. A layer of fog was spread when the wind blew.

"No body was found, but there were signs of burning. Something might have happened here." The bearded man said to the woman in black stockings.

“I’m afraid something happened. We can’t see any bodies.” Mo Fan pointed at the undead wandering around.

Lin Ran silently looked at the undead around him.

If the villagers here died, they would probably become ghosts. There are burnt ashes everywhere, and the bloodstains would be burned away and cannot be seen.

"Then what should we do now?" said another follower of the woman in black silk stockings.

“Then we have to go to the next village, but if the next village is like this too…” said the woman in black stockings.

The short man nodded hurriedly, he also meant the same thing.

Lin Ran and others also agreed.

"Let's go, let's go. You won't find anything here. I guess they may have migrated. Don't be too pessimistic." The short man said to his partner, the strong man.

The strong man was still rational, and after discovering that there were no signs of mass deaths, he began to lead everyone to the next village.

"It takes about two days to get to Hua Village from here. Originally, I planned to spend the second half of the night in Yangyang Village so that we can save some gray garlic... But now it seems that we will run out of gray garlic halfway to Hua Village." The short man said to everyone seriously.

Obviously, the lack of gray garlic is the most serious problem.

At this time, the short man suggested returning to the ancient capital first, and then wait for the strong man to get some gray garlic from his fellow tribesmen before coming back. The strong man also said that it would probably take him several months to get the gray garlic...

"Let's just go straight in. It would be a waste of time to go back now. You just lead the way." said the follower with a big beard.

Mo Fan and Lin Ran didn't have time to wait any longer. If they delayed any further, who knew what dangerous things would happen.

"It's better not to be reckless." The woman in black silk stockings spoke at this time. She glanced at the short man and said in a soft voice, "Along the way, I found that not all areas have undead. We should not use gray garlic for the second half of the night. We can only use gray garlic if there are too many undead to deal with."

"That's a good idea." The short man's eyes lit up and he nodded in agreement.

Mo Fan also nodded, and then he reminded Lin Ran again, "This woman may not be simple, you should use less unusual powers..."

Mo Fan now understood that his demonic power and Lin Ran’s demonization were both classified as evil forces, so it would be better to use them less.

Lin Ran nodded.

……

Everyone followed what the woman in black silk stockings said, and in the second half of the night, no one used the gray garlic...

About three or four miles away from Yangyang Village, everyone felt that the gazes of the undead around them were gradually becoming less friendly.

The undead around here are wandering around in groups of three or two. They are all slave-level corpses. Apart from looking a little scary, there is nothing special about them.

"They are coming." Suddenly the short man spoke up to remind everyone.

An undead ghost that was grinding its teeth on a rock smelled the scent of human flesh. Its head turned around with a creaking sound, and its green pupils locked onto the woman in black stockings who was closest to it.

There was no fear in the eyes of the woman in black stockings. It seemed that she was not afraid of such undead spirits.

At this time, the bearded follower had already taken another step to the side. Under his feet, an icy star map was condensing like frost leaves...

"Ice Lock!!!"

The bearded follower raised his hand, and in an instant the ice crystals transformed into a thick steel chain.

The ice chains flew straight towards the rotten corpse that tried to attack the woman in black silk stockings, and tied up the undead in an instant.

"Bone crushing!!!"

The bearded follower clenched his hands suddenly, and the ice chain tightened suddenly!
“Crackle, crackle, crackle…!”

The undead bones were crushed directly, and the sound made people get goose bumps.

In just a few seconds, the undead turned into a piece of frozen rotten meat. Although it was not completely dead, it could not move at all.

"Ali, don't waste magic energy." The woman in black silk stockings saw that this bearded follower had to use intermediate-level magic to deal with a corpse, and couldn't help but give him a warning.

The bearded follower named Ali hurriedly performed a strange salute and pretended to listen to instructions.

"By the way, we've been together for so long, and we still don't know what to call you?" The short man asked with a grin. He had always felt that this woman's identity was very extraordinary.

"Ye Meng'e, Ye of leaf, Meng of dream, E of graceful, you can call me Meng'e." The woman in black silk stockings said her own name seriously as if she was reading aloud.

Mo Fan at the side couldn't help but laugh when he heard the name: "Is this the Chinese name you just picked?"

The woman in black silk stockings did not directly answer Mo Fan's question. She tilted her head and said, "Is this name strange?"

Lin Ran noticed that the corners of Mo Fan's mouth slightly raised. This guy might say something tricky.

"Euna's Euna... Meng'e, Chinese people rarely choose such a name. In fact, Cuihua would be better. You can add this name to your surname, for example, Elisana-Cuihua. This can show your knowledge of both Chinese and foreign languages." Mo Fan said seriously.

Liu Xian opened her mouth slightly, she didn't expect Mo Fan to be so deceiving.

The short man, the strong man, and Liu Ru were all from here. When they heard what Mo Fan said, they almost vomited garlic residue!

Please don't cheat foreign friends like this!!!

After hearing what Mo Fan said, the woman in black stockings nodded as if it was a matter of fact. She definitely thought that Mo Fan's suggestion was worth considering. Her two followers were not Chinese either. It was good enough for them to speak fluent Chinese. How could they possibly understand the mystery behind the name?

"Don't listen to his nonsense, sister, your name is very nice." Liu Ru said.

The woman in black stockings also smiled. She didn’t care about the joke Mo Fan played on her.

"Can we call you that too?" At this time, the bearded follower Ali asked.

The woman in black stockings looked at him, and Ali immediately shrank his head, not daring to say anything more.

……

In the following journey, most of the time it was the dwarf man and Meng'e's two followers who dealt with these wandering undead.

The group was lucky enough not to step on any of the tombs until almost dawn, so they managed to save a lot of garlic.

"It will be dawn in about an hour." The short man said, looking at his watch.

“I thought the undead in the ancient capital would be very powerful, but they are just a bunch of brainless stupid corpses.” The bearded follower Ali laughed when he heard the short man’s words.

"Brother, you must not say such things. It is very weird in the land of the dead. You really can't say such things casually!" The strong man spoke at this time.

The follower Ali didn't take it seriously and just kept grinning.

In front of everyone was a piece of loose soil that looked completely black, and the clouds in the sky were extremely dense and very low.

"Tear~~~~~!!!!" Suddenly, a pale white lightning split the dark sky and earth. In an instant, the depressing black sky and the black earth were illuminated, which made people very uneasy.

The air started to become heavy since someone knew not when. Thunder rumbled continuously in the clouds. A drop of rain as big as a bean fell down. The raindrop hit the ground heavily and everyone saw a flower of mud splashing up.

"Damn, it's raining!" Suddenly the short man started cursing.

As soon as he finished speaking, heavy rain poured down. White lightning flashed across the night sky, and the sky and the earth were filled with the reflection of the rain.

The rain poured down, washing away the soft soil, and it felt muddy when I stepped on it.

Lightning struck again, and suddenly a blood-red mark washed away by the rain appeared in everyone's eyes.

The blood flowed to the feet, which was extremely horrifying, and the rain was so dense that people could not see the front clearly, so everyone hesitated for a moment whether to eat the gray garlic.

"Hurry up and leave, the rain will wash away the gray and garlic smell!" The strong man hurriedly reminded everyone at this time.

“In other words, gray garlic cannot be used on rainy days?” Mo Fan asked.

"Ah."

Mo Fan suddenly had a lot of dirty words in his mind, but they were coming too fast, so he didn't want to talk nonsense here, so he decided to find a place to hide from the rain first.

"Is there no water mage in the team?" Mo Fan couldn't help but ask.

Unfortunately, no one answered.

If a water mage is present, he can cast a water defense cycle on everyone so that they won't get wet.

Although the two followers of the black-stockinged woman Meng'e did not bring an umbrella, they hurriedly took off their outer coats to make raincoats for Meng'e, protecting her all the way, demonstrating their dignity different from ordinary people.

"Damn it, there's more and more blood here, there must be a big corpse!" The short man judged based on his experience.

“No way, it’s raining so hard, if we start a battle we’ll all turn into mud.” Mo Fan complained.

Lin Ran vaguely sensed an unusual aura, but because of the rain, his perception was not accurate.

"What did I say? This land of the dead is very weird, don't talk nonsense!" The strong man attributed all the problems to the previous words of his follower Ali.

Everyone continued to move forward in the mud and water, speeding up involuntarily. They all felt that things were not going well.

There is a plain nearby, and there is no place to shelter from the rain unless you go towards the Qinling Mountains.

Of course, the Qinling demon tribe in Qinling Mountains are very welcoming to humans. They may even prepare an oil pan for you, waiting for humans to get in.

"Ouch~~~~~~~!!!"

"Uh-huh~~~~~~~~~!!!"

Suddenly, two creepy roars came from the side.

Liu Ru was closest to the sound, she turned her head and immediately shivered all over!!
In the rain, the shadow of a giant corpse as big as an ox became clearer and clearer, and its target was Liu Ru.

The giant corpse had several arms, each holding a rusty knife and axe. The rain washed over the knife and axe, washing away all the blood that had dried up before, making it look even more terrifying. God had no idea how many people had been killed by this knife and axe! !
The body was as strong as an ox, with ferocious limbs. What was even more horrifying was that such a thick body had a female head. Her long dirty hair was hanging down, and her face washed by rain was full of gloom and viciousness! !
"Why... why did you leave me, Zhang...!!!" The woman opened her mouth and made a very vague and hoarse sound.

The voice has changed now. Although it is human language, it seems to be filled with the revengeful intentions of evil spirits and ghosts!!

"Are you okay?" Lin Ran pulled Liu Ru away.

“Fuck, who the hell knows you?” Mo Fan cursed.

Looking at this terrifying corpse with a sword and an axe, everyone didn't understand how so many dead things could be grafted onto this body.

"Corpse General, this is the big corpse general! It's over, it's over, we are dead this time!!" The short man stared at the big corpse general in horror, looking like he was ready to run for his life at any time.

"Oh no! A large group of zombies are rushing towards us. They seem to be obeying the orders of this zombie general!" The follower Ali shouted loudly.

"Don't panic, Axin, Ali, go and deal with those rotten corpses coming over here." said Meng'e, the woman in black stockings.

At this time, her hair was already wet with rain, and even the black veil seemed to be about to slide down her delicate cheeks.

I thought it would be impossible to see her extremely beautiful face because she was covering her face, but now she didn't cover it up anymore. She casually pulled off her veil, revealing a perfect face as white as jade...

This face is not entirely that of a Westerner. If you don't look closely, there is actually not much difference from that of an Oriental girl. However, her eyes are exceptionally bright as stars, and her long eyelashes are moist, making her look like a tearful pear blossom, very charming and touching!
Noticing Lin Ran's gaze, she playfully winked at him.

Lin Ran had a blank expression on his face.

Mo Fan had wanted to see her appearance for a long time, and now he could see her clearly. However, there was an ugly corpse in front of him that was in stark contrast to the woman, so he naturally had no time to appreciate her too much...

Meng'e could see that Mo Fan had some strength. Because Lin Ran had very good control over his aura, she thought that Lin Ran was just a mid-level magician. So she ordered two of her men to deal with the undead that were rushing over. She then quickly floated to Mo Fan's side and said in a sonorous and powerful voice, "Let's work together to deal with it!"

"Run, run quickly, we are no match for this giant zombie!" The short man still had a little conscience and did not turn around and run away immediately.

The short man had stayed in the ancient capital for many years, and he knew very well how terrifying the corpses were.

The vast majority of the undead are only at the slave level, but if the number of corpses increases, a team of mid-level mages will be wiped out.

If you disturb the Corpse General, you will be in danger of death. The Corpse General will summon all the undead within a kilometer radius. Even if you can kill hundreds of undead, you will never be able to resist the tide of thousands of undead.

Corpse generals are already the nightmare of mid-level mages, not to mention this kind of giant corpse general that has been nourishing in the land of the undead for a long time!

Generally speaking, only high-level mages can deal with the Big Corpse General. Even a mid-level team with sophisticated equipment will be killed without a complete body. It is estimated that many will become part of the Big Corpse General.

“This place is full of undead. The heavy rain has disrupted our direction. If we flee in panic, we will only be defeated one by one. Now it’s almost dawn, we just need to hold on until dawn…” said Mo Fan.

"Running will only waste our energy and make it easier for the undead to capture us, so it's better for us to fight now." Lin Ran said.

Meng'e had the same idea. It was completely meaningless to run in this situation. This giant corpse was extremely large and fast. As long as it roared, it would call the surrounding undead to chase and intercept them, and they would definitely not be able to escape.

The best strategy is to get rid of this big corpse as soon as possible before other undead spirits come in large numbers.

Lin Ran asked Liu Ru and Liu Xian to take care of each other in dealing with the undead.

The two nodded, and then coordinated with each other to launch the attack.

"Can they handle it?" The strong man was a little shocked when he saw Liu Ru and Liu Xian dealing with a large group of undead.

"Don't worry, they are not as weak as you think." Lin Ran said.

Liu Ru and Liu Xian are now much stronger than the vampire Nie Dong, so it is easy for them to deal with these servant-level undead. !
Even if they cannot win, they can still conceal their breath a little bit so that the undead will not notice them. After all, they are also a kind of undead.

At this time, Mo Fan looked at Lin Ran and said, "I want to test my fastest training results..."

He hoped that Lin Ran would not kill the big corpse general in an instant.

"Okay, okay... I won't help you." Lin Ran couldn't help but say, Mo Fan was really trying his best.

"Come and keep me company, all of you, come and keep me company!!"

The axe corpse twisted its face into a ghostly shape, and the vicious words that came out of its mouth made people shudder.

Heavy rain fell, and the big corpse wielded the blunt axe and stomped on Mo Fan and the black-stockinged woman Meng'e with brute force. This thing didn't kill people with the sharpness of the axe, but with the weight and brute force of the axe! !

"Shadow Escape!"

"Shadow Escape!"

Mo Fan instantly chanted a dark spell, and his body sank into the ground in the dark night and heavy rain, quickly moving more than 20 meters away.

Similarly, this woman in black stockings, Meng'e, also controls shadow magic. The shadow escape she performed is of the third level, which is faster than Mo Fan's, and she does not have two real and fake shadows.

Seeing Mo Fan, Meng'e and the big corpse fighting, Lin Ran moved away a little. Flames gradually appeared on his body, and these flames condensed into a fire dragon. This fire dragon burned all the undead that approached Lin Ran into ashes, and their souls were devoured by it.

After getting some distance from the Sword and Axe Corpse General, Mo Fan glanced at the woman in black silk stockings, Meng'e. In the misty rain, he could only see her hazy beauty. Mo Fan said, "Find a chance to control it with the Shadow Nail. I'll go and attract its attention first."

The woman in black stockings, Meng'e, nodded, and her body quickly and mysteriously disappeared from the spot.

"Thunder Seal!"

Mo Fan completed the basic lightning magic in an instant. This fourth-level lightning seal caused countless electric currents to wrap around it. The rain also had some transmission effect, so the electric arcs were hit by the rain and crackled!
Controlling these lightning marks, Mo Fan instantly created a large area of ​​dense lightning fields in the area where the sword and axe zombies were moving forward.

Just as the Sword and Axe Corpse was about to catch up, it stepped into the electric field of the Thunder Seal. It was now covered in blood, which allowed the Thunder Seal to be better transmitted into its body.

However, the corpse's bones and muscles were dead, and this axe corpse had thick skin and flesh. The paralysis effect could not make it lose its mobility in an instant, and could only barely slow it down.

“Not bad…” Lin Ran was observing Mo Fan’s battle. At this moment, an undead approached Lin Ran, and was smashed to pieces by the Fire Dragon the next second. Now, there was a forbidden area for undead around Lin Ran.

The big corpse general was also extremely brutal. Even the fourth-level elementary magic was ineffective. After being electrocuted, it rushed towards Mo Fan frantically, waving its huge sword and axe as it ran, looking like a meat delivery machine!

"Blood Beast Boots!"

Mo Fan used his magic tool without any reservation.

The power of his feet exploded in an instant, and Mo Fan jumped up and jumped more than ten meters to the left, avoiding the tank collision of the big corpse general.

However, just as Mo Fan landed on the ground, the sword and axe corpse turned around at an extremely fast speed and appeared in front of him. The four swords and axes in its hands fell down at the same time!
Mo Fan was horrified. He had not expected that the sword and axe corpse general would be so fast. Perhaps it was just as the short man said. Even a team of mid-level mages would not be able to deal with this big corpse general.

But Mo Fan was also prepared. The reason why he jumped in this direction was because there was a dark area here that allowed him to hide.

At the moment when the sword and axe corpse swung down, Mo Fan's body sank and turned into a shadow...

The shadow split into two in an instant, and one of the black shadows left the place in the blink of an eye.

“When Mo Fan fights, it feels like he’s showing off his skills.”

When the sword-axe corpse saw something moving quickly, he knew that the human was trying to escape. Before the sword and axe even fell, he kicked the ground and chased after it again. He didn't chase it for many meters before he chopped the phantom into pieces...

"Damn, this giant corpse general might be even stronger than the terrifying demon!" In the darkness before, Mo Fan showed up with some lingering fear, and continued to stare at the fierce corpse general. If it was Lin Ran, he should be able to deal with this giant corpse general in an instant. The gap is still huge. He must catch up with Lin Ran. Mo Fan took a deep breath and stared at the giant corpse general.

Warlord-level creatures can also be divided into several levels. Previously, their team of students were all mid-level mages, but they almost all died in the trap of the tree monster Demon in Jinlin Deserted City...

The giant corpse general in front of him now is of a higher level than the terrifying demon that set traps and killed people before, and his actual combat power is also terrifyingly strong. Even an experienced hunter may not be the opponent of this giant corpse general. This is a good training opportunity, to fight, think, and then become stronger.

Mo Fan noticed that Lin Ran was controlling the Fire Dragon not far away and killing the undead one by one.
