Versatile Mage: Undying Fire

Chapter 113
Because they were threatened by Lin Ran, everyone in the village rushed to the ancient capital.

As he walked out of the village, Mo Fan muttered to himself, these people in the dangerous village should all have the effect of gray garlic...

But if that's the case, these people should be safe on their way to the ancient capital. Why do they seem so terrified?

At this time, Lin Ran walked up to Mo Fan and said, "Most of the undead will not attack these villagers, but some mutated undead will attack these villagers without hesitation, so they are all very scared... I think someone might be playing tricks on them. Didn't Zhuangnan say before that his uncle wouldn't let him return to the village? Maybe it was his uncle who did it..."

Mo Fan looked at the strong man in the distance, then lowered his voice and said, "It is indeed possible, but we don't have any evidence so we should not say it in front of the strong man."

"I've already told you that the village is cursed. You and I should have moved away earlier. Hey... let's go quickly." The young man named Gou Zi suddenly spoke.

"Dog, stop talking nonsense." Xie Sang couldn't help but scold.

"If we leave the village, we will be betraying our ancestors. We may not survive tonight. We'd better stay in the village. We have the well god to protect us..." An old lady was walking in the team and kept muttering.

After this remark, a few stubborn people actually wanted to stay. This made Lin Ran unhappy. He said, "Don't mess with me..."

Hearing Lin Ran's voice, people sped up again.

Mo Fan felt that it would be much safer to follow them. If he stayed, he would most likely become an undead.

There were about a hundred people in the group. They formed a team and left the village together. For Mo Fan, Liu Ru, Liu Xian, Fang Youmiao, and the short man, it was just a return trip.

As for Meng'e and his two followers, they did not stay in Hua Village for long. They had no interest in the escort at all, so they said goodbye and left early.

After Meng'e left, Mo Fan was still somewhat curious. He wondered what the three of them were looking for and what they were going to do in this chaotic land...

……

The days are short and the nights are long in this season, and now with the cloudy weather, the deathly air becomes even more rampant.

The thicker the death energy is, the more undead there are. If they cannot eat flesh and blood, the undead will rely on absorbing death energy to improve their own corpses, which is no different from demons.

The villagers were still in good physical condition and walked a long way in one day.

During the day, because everyone was safe, the villagers walked in a relaxed mood. But after three o'clock in the afternoon, an inexplicable haze began to gradually shroud their hearts, and as time went by, people became more and more frightened.

No one can be sure whether the villagers who grew up drinking well water are still blessed by the well water god, nor can they guarantee whether Zhang Xiaohou's friends are reliable.

“Let’s take this road instead of going through Yangyang Village.” Village Chief Xie Sang said to Mo Fan who was leading the group.

"Will it be faster to go this way?" Mo Fan took a look at the map and found that if he walked in a straight line, he would pass by Yangyang Village no matter what.

At this time, Lin Ran looked at the map, and then his eyes fell on the village chief.

"The terrain of this road is very undulating. It looks very short on the map, but it takes a lot of time. Believe me, I have been around this area a lot." said the village chief Xie Sang.

Mo Fan nodded, and then continued forward according to the instructions of the village chief Xie Sang.

……

As night gradually approached, the villagers obviously trusted the village chief Xie Sang and the magician Hong Jun more and more. They unconsciously moved towards them and were almost hugging the two magicians.

There are also some people around Su Xiaoluo. This girl is obviously very prestigious in the village. Under such circumstances, everyone will unconsciously choose to believe in the female doctor Su Xiaoluo. Of course, the most important thing is that the silly boy picked up by Su Xiaoluo is very powerful. The undead that attacked the village were solved cleanly by his magic.

"Liu Ru and Liu Xian, you can go to the back of the team and protect those children." Mo Fan suddenly said to the twin vampire girls.

Liu Xian and Liu Ru nodded and said, "Be careful too."

Lin Ran said, "I'll go too."

Mo Fan nodded.

"Let's take a look at the situation first. We have some gray garlic, and the villagers are blessed with well water. If the undead don't attack us, we will quickly pass through."

"clear."

The road the village chief described was indeed flatter and much smoother to walk on than the previous road.

Night finally arrived, and the roars of some undead could be heard not far away from the crowd. The sound made people feel a little creepy.

“Brother Mo Fan, if we are really attacked by the undead, we will not be able to protect so many people.” The short man came in front of Mo Fan and said in a low voice.

"Lin Ran is more powerful than you imagined..., so don't worry." Mo Fan said.

"It seems... these undead have no reaction to us." The short man said as he glanced at a few undead that had just "woke up" not far away.

"Yes." Mo Fan held his breath and concentrated at this time.

The crowd continued to move forward. Logically, such a large group of people should have a strong scent of living people, and would easily attract attacks from the undead. However, they had already walked about a kilometer, and these undead had not reacted to them at all, which showed that the protection of the gray garlic and the villagers' well water had not failed.

Seeing that these undead did not attack them as usual, the villagers breathed a sigh of relief and walked more calmly. Otherwise, they would have felt like needles on the soles of their feet with every step.

"Strange, there is no problem with the protection of our well water god, but why did we suffer attacks from so many undead spirits before?" Su Xiaoluo's face was full of confusion at this time.

"Could it be that only that group of mutant undead will attack us? If that's the case, then there's no point in us going through so much trouble to relocate." Hong Jun said at this time.

Wherever Su Xiaoluo is, there is Hong Jun. This guy seems to have forgotten that he ran away alone when he encountered danger before. Su Xiaoluo didn’t think that Hong Jun was a bad person before, but now she finds this guy annoying no matter how she looks at him.

"Don't say that. No matter what, we will be truly safe when we reach the ancient capital." Village chief Xie Sang was very sure about the migration.

Mo Fan, who was standing aside, looked at the village chief Xie Sang. He felt vaguely that the village chief was hiding something. After all, he was the one who was most determined to uphold the ancestral rules...

……

So far, everything has been very peaceful. All the undead have shown no reaction to such a large group of people. While everyone was relieved, the last time the undead attacked the village was even more difficult to explain.

There was no threat at night, so after daybreak everyone took a short rest and then continued on their journey. After all, they had to return to the ancient capital as soon as possible.

“Brother Mofan, what do you think about the undead attacking the village?” The short man pushed Mofan and whispered to him.

“How should I know? I don’t know much about this place.” Mo Fan looked at the short man. He found that the short man obviously wanted to say something, so he raised his eyebrows and said, “Did you find anything?”

“Hehehehe, to be honest, I do know a little bit, but it was before I met Fang Youmiao…”

"Just tell me what you have to say!" Mo Fan said unhappily.

"Do you still remember what I told you about the shelter cave?" The short man turned around to look at the villagers and saw that they were all behind him, so he spoke with confidence.

“Remember, that was what you found when you killed the blood beast before. What’s wrong?” Mo Fan said.

"Well, after killing the blood beast, we originally planned to go to Yangyang Village to rest. As a result, we met a few people on the way. They were the survey team that had just left Yangyang Village. They gave us some supplies by the way. After that, we directly returned to the ancient capital along this flat road which was easier to walk. Not long after returning to the ancient capital, I heard that all the surveyors were missing..." The short man lowered his voice very low, as if he didn't want others to hear it. When he found that there was only the amnesiac idiot Zhang Xiaohou beside Mo Fan and no one else, he didn't care too much.

“Well, they were probably killed by the undead on the way. My brother’s team also encountered the undead on the way before.” Mo Fan said while looking at Zhang Xiaohou next to him.

"Hehe, I thought so at first, but do you know what the survey team I met told us?" The short man laughed at this time, with a wicked look on his face.

"What did you say?" Mo Fan asked immediately.

"They said there was no one in Yangyang Village, so we didn't need to go," said the short man.

Mo Fan remembered what Lin Ran said before. The key point is the strong man.

Suddenly, Zhang Xiaohou, who was standing nearby, shuddered inexplicably when he heard these whispers, and his confused pupils shrank suddenly!
"Don't you think it's strange? The village chief specifically told us not to go through Yangyang Village. It's obvious that there is something that makes the village chief Xie Sang not want to go there." The short man continued.

Mo Fan looked back at the village chief Xie Sang and lowered his head in thought.

……

The team continued to move forward steadily, and after the second night, everyone was still safe and sound.

As long as they can get through this night, they will be very close to the ancient capital, and it is estimated that they can reach the vicinity of the ancient capital within a day.

"It's daybreak, it's daybreak, everyone cheer up, we won't rest, let's reach the ancient capital before dark today." Hong Jun shouted to wake everyone up.

"Hong Jun, you studied magic outside for several years. When we arrive in the ancient capital, can you help us find a place to stay?" asked a village woman.

"Don't worry, don't worry!" Hong Jun patted his chest, looking as if there was absolutely no problem.

"Alas, it seems that we are out of danger. I thought we were abandoned by the well god."

"Dog, look how scared everyone is with your words, humph!"

The villagers chatted with each other, and there was a smile on their faces.

If they could get through the two nights safely, then the rest of the journey could be completed during the day, and they would no longer have to worry about their lives.

Because it was daytime, everyone was walking in a scattered manner. Of course, Mo Fan was still at the front of the team, leading the way for everyone...

At this time, Liu Xian and Liu Ru pulled Lin Ran to a hidden corner, and then the two vampire girls pierced the skin on Lin Ran's neck with their vampire fangs.

Lin Ran felt himself surrounded by softness, and for a moment he was a little distracted, but he was still able to restrain himself. Now was not the time to do bad things.

After the two girls had a full meal, they gave Lin Ran a kiss from the left and right.

"Thank you for your hard work..." Liu Ru said with a slightly red face.

Liu Xian said, "It's delicious."

Lin Ran touched his neck, the wound had healed, and he said, "Let's go, these villagers still need protection."

The short man kept talking non-stop along the way. Soon, he came over to talk to Mo Fan about his heroic deeds as a hunter. Mo Fan sneered and then casually boasted about his awesome deeds in Bo City...

"Oh my god, you are from Bo City. I know a lot of friends in Bo City." The short man said with some surprise.

"Huh? How do you know someone from Bo City?" Mo Fan was a little confused.

"Haha, I often chat with them. They were resettled to the ancient capital by the government after the disaster. They used to live in a resettlement area in the suburbs, but later a rich young man named Mu Bai bought a street shop to sell magic stone raw materials. After that, the refugees from Bo City who were resettled here all worked for him." The short man said. Mo Fan was stunned for a moment, but soon remembered the resettlement after the disaster.

At that time, there were many destinations for the resettlement of the Bo City disaster victims. One group was in the suburbs of Shanghai, and another group was in the ancient capital. Mo Fan chose Shanghai, and then lived in a resettlement house in the suburbs as he wished. After hearing what the short man said, he remembered that another group of Bo City people were resettled in the ancient capital of Xi'an!

It’s like meeting fellow villagers in a foreign land. I must go and see these people when I return to the ancient capital.

"I usually sell the magic stones I get in their shops..." the short man continued.

“Ah ...

Suddenly, a scream came from the back of the team.

The scream was miserable and obviously contained a hint of fear. The sound came without any warning and startled the entire team.

The short man stopped talking, and Mo Fan turned his head hastily. He saw a blood mist splashing in the crowd, and then he saw a ghost's head in Lin Ran's hand. Then the villagers screamed and scattered! !
"Undead, there are undead!!"

"Everyone, be careful."

“Ahhh~~~!!!!!”

Suddenly, there was another piercing and terrifying scream. Mo Fan and a village woman who was so scared that she fled to the side suddenly fell to the ground. A long corpse claw suddenly rushed out from under the loose soil. The corpse claw was extremely powerful and looked like it would pierce through the village woman, but the next second Liu Xian smashed the corpse claw with a punch.

“It’s available here too!!”

“Save me~~~!! Save me!!”

"Don't panic, everyone, don't panic..."

The more the villagers fled, the more they were attacked by the undead. Mo Fan looked around and found that the undead, which originally only appeared at night, actually crawled out of the mud and attacked the villagers.

Fortunately, Lin Ran reacted quickly and no one was injured for the time being.

"Oh my god, these undead spirits are so outrageous that they come out to kill people in broad daylight!" The short man screamed at this time.

"Hurry to the side, Liu Ru, Liu Xian, protect those children and don't let them run away. Lin Ran, you know what to do." Mo Fan shouted to them while running.

The undead came out of the soil and their number increased. The villagers' blessing from the well god was of no use to the undead. Mo Fan even said that the undead were targeting the villagers.

At this time, a scorching fire dragon appeared. It surrounded all the villagers. The undead rushed towards the villagers, but were burned to ashes before they got close. If you look closely, you can find that the fire dragon's eyes are very smart. After all, it is very happy to have food delivered to its door.

"Thunder Seal!"

"Swift Star Wolf!"

"Giant Shadow Nail!"

Although Mo Fan breathed a sigh of relief at this time, he still continued to deal with the undead.

"Monkey, Yan..."

"Rock Barrier!!"

Mo Fan was about to talk to Zhang Xiaohou. Although Zhang Xiaohou had lost his memory, it did not mean that he had lost his intelligence. He still remembered how to fight, so he immediately cast an intermediate-level rock magic.

Two consecutive rock barriers formed a mountain screen in a short while, blocking most of the undead. Of course, Zhang Xiaohou left a gap to let the undead rush towards the fire dragon and then be burned to ashes.
The situation came too suddenly, which caught everyone off guard, but fortunately everyone reacted quickly.

No one expected that the undead that only appeared at night would come out to attack people in broad daylight, and they were a group of crazy killing zombies.

The situation quickly stabilized and no villagers died for the time being.

The moment the incident happened, Mo Fan focused all his efforts on killing the undead. While he was dealing with them, he told everyone not to panic.

……

"Help... Help me!" Suddenly a young man burst into tears. His legs seemed to have been torn apart by a ghost corpse, deep into the bones.

Seeing this, Liu Ru jumped lightly, and in an instant she landed in front of the young man as if gliding.

Liu Ru formed her hands into claws and slashed to the side at an extremely fast speed. In an instant, ten blood-red blades spread out to both sides, like ten flying blood-red sickles, slashing at the three corpses that were about to pounce on her.

The three corpses were chopped into several pieces by the flying blood-red sickles in a moment, and then their bodies fell stiffly at Liu Ru's feet.

"Little brother, follow me." Liu Ru bent down and helped him up.

Suddenly, the dog not far away took a look at the boy, and his expression suddenly became extremely ugly!

He pointed at the boy Liu Ru helped up with his shaking hands and shouted, "He...he is not from our village!!"

But it was too late when the dog barked. At the moment when Liu Ru went to help the boy, a strange smile appeared on the boy's pale face. The hand he had blocked with his body suddenly stretched out, and it turned out to be a palm of bones...

The fingertips of this bony hand were like daggers, stabbing towards Liu Ru's heart with great swiftness!
A cold light flashed by. Liu Ru was so close to the boy, how could she be on guard? The boy's sharp claws pierced directly into Liu Ru's heart, and her heart was pierced! !
Liu Ru looked incredulous.

She had never imagined that this boy was also a ghost, and a ghost with such a terrible mind! !
This is an undead creature that is completely different from the previous rotten corpses and ghost corpses.

"You like to meddle in other people's business, just die quickly." The undead boy laughed crazily, then pulled his bone claws out of Liu Ru's chest. He raised the bone claws cruelly and wanted to see the blood flow.

However, when the bone claw was placed in front of him, the undead boy found that there was not a drop of blood on his bone claw.

The young man was stunned. He didn't understand. He had clearly pierced the stupid woman's heart, so why was there not a drop of blood? His movements were not that fast either.

"You're so young and yet you know how to lie. You're so vicious." Liu Ru stared at the undead boy. There was no trace of pain on her face, but there was a hint of disappointment in her eyes.

"You...how is this possible!!" The undead boy screamed as if he saw a ghost.

"Sister will send you to reincarnate. Don't hurt others anymore." Liu Ru laughed, and the inherent charm of the vampires quickly emanated from her in an instant.

The pierced heart did not affect Liu Ru's actions at all. She grabbed the undead boy's throat in an instant, and Liu Ru suddenly increased the strength of her wrist.

"Gah!"

Just as the undead boy was terrified, Liu Ru twisted his neck and tilted his head with a surprised expression...

Liu Ru looked at the undead boy whose neck was broken and looked as if he were dead, but the smile on her face did not diminish at all.

“Don’t tease me, I’ve never heard of a ghost dying by having its neck twisted…” When Liu Ru saw that the undead boy was pretending to be dead, her eyes smiled into crescent shapes.

As she spoke, Liu Ru slowly placed her hand on the undead boy's head, as gently as if she was stroking a cute little brother.

"No, no!" The undead boy noticed Liu Ru's actions and felt scared for a moment, with a hint of pleading in his voice.

However, Liu Ru showed no mercy. Her index finger transformed into a long vampire claw, which stretched out and pierced through the undead boy's skull into his brain in an instant...

The bodies of the undead have undead crystals that sustain their activities, which are as important as the human heart. As long as the undead crystals are still there, the undead will not die...

Liu Ru soon determined that the undead crystal of this undead boy was in his brain, so she used the Blood Claw to crush his undead crystal, and finally put this living dead to death! !
The moment the undead crystal was pierced, the undead boy let out a shrill scream like a ghost.

Black gas suddenly floated out of his five orifices, as if all the energy in his body had been sucked out, and in just a few seconds he turned into a dried corpse.

Seeing that the undead boy was completely dead, Liu Ru slowly stood up and pondered for a while.

She didn't understand why the undead she had encountered before were either rotten corpses or skeletons, and why such a lifelike living dead suddenly appeared now...

"Follow me, don't get lost." Liu Ru said to the dog behind her.

However, the dog stood there without moving at all, as if it was frozen.

Just before, he thought he was saved, but who knew this woman... this woman...

What do you mean you've never heard of a ghost dying by having its neck twisted...

This woman’s heart was pierced by the bone claw just now!!!

The villager Gou Zi is almost in a state of mental collapse now, as these nightmares come one after another!
Lin Ran's fist cut through the air, flames shot out in an instant, and in a moment it turned into a flaming fist.

"Fire Fist!!!"

The flaming fist destroys all undead in its path.

This terrifying power obviously exceeded the short man's imagination. He couldn't help but ask, "Could it be that Lin Ran was the ruthless man who punched Yi Canglang in Bo City?"

The short man had many friends from Bo City, so he knew something about Lin Ran. He had felt that Lin Ran's name was familiar before, but he had not associated it with the Lin Ran from Bo City. It was not until Mo Fan revealed his identity just now that he was sure that Lin Ran was also from Bo City and a legendary figure. A few years ago, he had the courage to provoke the Winged Wolf and he is still alive. So now he might dare to face the monarch-level undead directly.

After killing most of the undead with one punch, Lin Ran did not stop, because the undead continued to appear. The souls of these undead could be devoured. Although the power contained in them was not much, the accumulated number of undead also constituted a considerable amount of energy.

"Roar...!" At this time, an undead corpse rushed out from a corner.

The rotten corpse rushed towards Lin Ran at an extremely fast speed.

"Hey~!" Suddenly a small elf with wings the size of a palm appeared.

She raised her hand and clenched it slightly. The corpse was squeezed by some invisible force and turned into a ball of meat in an instant.

The elf waved his hand and threw the meat ball towards the fire dragon. The fire dragon raised its head and swallowed the meat ball in an instant. The meat ball instantly turned into nothingness in the flames.

After swallowing the undead, the Fire Dragon gave a thumbs up.

The elf stood with his hands behind his back, looking shy.

"Guang Ling..., why did you come out?" Lin Ran said.

"Because I want to help my master." said the light spirit.
