Versatile Mage: Undying Fire

Chapter 354: Reappearance of the Undead
As soon as Lin Ran and his friends got off the plane, they received a call from Qi Yang, who asked them to go directly to the north.

With this doubt in mind, several people drove an off-road vehicle provided by the prevention team and drove along the Guangyuan Highway into the vast grassland...

They were driving very fast, and even if there was no road, they would still rush forward. Judging from Qi Yang's tone, something big was probably going to happen.

After arriving at the Ridge Grassland, Lin Ran and his team met Qi Yang's prevention team.

There are only ten people in the prevention team. Qi Yang is the team leader and he is in charge of the command. Among the remaining nine people, two are battle mages, and the others are basically hiders, monitors, and trackers...

In terms of strength, these people are not that good. Lin Ran, Zhao Manyan and Mo Fan can probably wipe out their group. However, the existence of this prevention team is to find the most powerful evidence. Once their intelligence is sufficient, they will have the power to request the Magic Association to carry out an eradication operation!

"What happened?" Mo Fan couldn't help but ask.

"We received intelligence before that the town here has disappeared," Qi Yang said.

“Shouldn’t this be something that the nearby Magic Association should investigate?” Zhao Manyan said with some dissatisfaction.

They can't be asked to do everything, right? They are here to track down HJT's extraditionist. If they let the extraditionist get away, then their efforts will fail!

"This matter is closely related to HJT." At this time, a plain-looking man in the prevention team said.

"Let's go over and take a look first." Lingling said.

A few people walked towards the town and found that the buildings in the town were still there. Some tents scattered around the pasture also looked intact, but a little messy.

This town was in a mess, and most of the valuables inside were still there, which meant that it was not some bandit group that was committing the crime. In fact, such a large-scale robbery was impossible here.

There was no one in the town anymore, not a single person could be seen, but there were bloodstains everywhere. These bloodstains were what the prevention team was most worried about. The more bloodstains there were, the more tragic the events here were...

"It looks like a lot of people died, but what's puzzling is why there isn't a single body to be seen, or why parts of the body have disappeared," Qi Yang said, frowning.

This was the first time the prevention team had seen such a thing. There were traces of dried blood all over the ground. They could imagine that this was a massacre. Did the perpetrators clean up all the debris afterwards? ? However, this was a huge project. Judging from the last time this town was contacted, it was unlikely that the perpetrators had the time.

Lingling was also checking carefully. Suddenly, an informant came close to Qi Yang's ear. Qi Yang couldn't help but glare at him. The informant then spoke directly, "We have found a mentally ill old herdsman who was sent to the nearest city for treatment. It seems that he is a resident of this town."

"Can he still speak normally?" Qi Yang asked.

The informant shook his head.

"Then let's wait until he recovers mentally and then go over to ask him. By the way, what do you think of this scene?" Qi Yang asked the team members.

"I think it's most likely the wild beasts from the northern border. They live in the northern border. The Back Grassland itself is very close to the northern border. They were killed before they could get in touch with the city... As for their bodies, they were probably eaten by those ferocious wild beasts from the northern border." said a team member with a rough face and a big mouth.

"I also think what Daxie said makes sense." said the female team member. They all called her Sister Fu.

"There is another possibility. It's the super-class poison magic that can turn people directly into blood... I found that on the grassland to the north, all the plants were withered and seemed to be infected with some destructive substances. This is a sign of poison magic." said the informant Qu Kang.

Qi Yang listened to the reports and opinions of the team members, and then he fell into deep thought.

He still felt that what everyone said might be a bit one-sided, and he always felt that there were some points that were particularly inconsistent.

He looked at Lin Ran and the others and asked, "What do you think?"

"Obviously neither." Mo Fan replied.

"How can it not be? It must be a super-class poison magic!" Qu Kang insisted that he was right.

"You are young and inexperienced. Greedy creatures like the Northern Wild Beasts are like this. They will eat up all the flesh and bones of a person without leaving anything. There was such a case thirteen years ago, and it took a long time to investigate at that time..." said the Big Scorpion.

"Don't talk so much at the same time, speak one by one." Qi Yang said.

"No need to say anything, everyone. Is there anything to eat? We haven't eaten since we got off the plane." Mo Fan asked. His expression was a little gloomy. He looked at Lin Ran and found that Lin Ran didn't look good either. I guess he had thought of it.

"..."

The members of the prevention team stared at Mo Fan with wide eyes, and then looked at him as if he were a monster.

Even after such a tragedy, this guy still had the mind to eat. You know, there was blood everywhere nearby, and it was so bloody that it made people lose their appetite, but he still felt hungry...

“Hey, please spread this thing on the ground and let us sit down. You will soon know what it is.” Mo Fan said.

Sitting on the ground, Lin Ran was eating by himself, while the people in the prevention team were dissatisfied with each other. They were still looking for clues at the scene.

……

"Team leader, I think these guys are really here to lead the team? Why do I feel like they are just a bunch of second-generation rich kids?" Big Scorpion asked Qi Yang in a low voice.

"That's right. They didn't listen to our reports at all, nor did they look for clues or conduct surveys. How can you do things this way?" Sister Fu snorted coldly.

"They are..." Qi Yang was about to introduce Lin Ran and the others when he suddenly felt the soil under his feet become a little loose, as if something was about to drill out from underneath.

Qi Yang was a little confused, but after checking carefully, there was nothing.

At this time, Lin Ran and his friends who had finished their picnic called out loudly, signaling for all of them to come back.

The members of the prevention team who were conducting the investigation were very dissatisfied, but they had to obey orders because Lin Ran and his companions were now the leaders of their prevention team.

"Do you know what did it?" Qu Kang asked unhappily.

Lin Ran looked at Mo Fan. Mo Fan did not speak. He glanced at the far end of the horizon. At this moment, the setting sun was gradually sinking, and the afterglow was gradually withdrawing from the earth. The darkness slowly took over from the other side of the horizon...

Seeing that Lin Ran and the others did not answer and were admiring the sunset instead, Qu Kang angrily said, "What on earth are you guys doing here? If you are just here for show, then you have already done it. Now please go back to your comfortable city!"

"Qu Kang!!" Qi Yang suddenly shouted, his face full of displeasure.

Qu Kang was also very arrogant. He still glared at Lin Ran and the others with a dissatisfied look.

“Look for yourselves, they should be crawling out soon.” Mo Fan pointed at the bloody town, his tone filled with helplessness, regret and sadness.

"What are you looking at? Are the murderers going to crawl out on their own?!" Qu Kang yelled.

Suddenly, sounds like the roars of wild beasts came from the town. They were piercing, weird and extremely scary. They came from underground and echoed in people's ears like the cries of ghosts.

The soil stained with dried blood suddenly loosened, and the hard stone slabs gradually cracked. Then, tattered hands stretched out from underneath, followed by incomplete heads that looked up with murderous eyes, and finally their gray-black, somewhat rotten and bloodstained bodies!

These bodies are extremely disgusting. Although most of them have arms, legs and bodies, their body proportions are extremely disproportionate. They are completely...completely made up of limbs from different people!

There were who knows how many human parts there were on one corpse. Some had men's heads, but the bodies were the thin and skinny remains of women. Some had strong and rough torsos, but the arms and limbs were those of children!

If these were clay figures, then the random patchwork might be a bit interesting, but they were obviously living people not long ago, and such messy grafting is just creepy!

"Oh my God..." Sister Fu was standing there, and she had already screamed.

"These...are these...these people in this town???" Big Scorpion said in disbelief.

"Undead! They are undead!" Qi Yang said.

Mo Fan looked at the undead crawling up without any surprise in his eyes. He said, "There is only blood, but no bodies. It is obvious that the bodies crawled into the ground by themselves and will not appear until night. You are the elites of the prevention team, but you don't even have common sense about the undead!"

Mo Fan and Lin Ran, who came from the ancient capital, were too familiar with this phenomenon.

The moment they stepped into this town, they knew what was causing the crime. However, what they couldn't figure out was that, ever since the catastrophe in the ancient capital, the undead had completely returned to their tombs and underground palaces, and would no longer come out to ravage the living...

But why is there a town plundered by the undead here? ?
Besides, this place is still quite far from the Land of the Undead. I have never heard of the Undead in the Northern Frontier before. This vast land full of sunshine is totally unsuitable for the Undead to survive! Mo Fan's scolding made everyone in the prevention team blush.

They certainly didn't associate the scene before them with the dead.

"It looks like this matter has become complicated. I hope these two things are unrelated..." Lingling looked at those miserable undead souls.

These undead souls are twisted, deformed, and broken. One can imagine what they went through in their lifetime. Apart from pity and shocking sadness, there is only a helpless anger!
Lin Ran thought of what Miyata had said before. It was obvious that this matter was related to the undead.

You continue to track the extradited Shepherd. I will keep you informed of his whereabouts and then activate your hidden agents to infiltrate. I will personally investigate the matter of this town. If this is the work of the ancient capital's undead..." Mo Fan stopped talking here and couldn't help but look at Lin Ran.

Lin Ran said, "We stand together."

The ancient capital disaster will always be an indelible scar in Mo Fan's heart. Now that it is touched again, his calm face hides the surging momentum of a volcano! !

Mo Fan left Lin Ran and the others in Northern Xinjiang, and then went to the ancient capital of Xi'an alone.

He went to the Clock Tower Magic Association overnight, and Mo Fan soon found old Han Ji. Han Ji was studying some ancient things at the time, and his face was full of surprise when he saw Mo Fan appear.

Speaking of which, Mo Fan hasn’t been to the ancient capital since the catastrophe. The city has been rebuilding and restoring its former prosperity. The people here are very strong and have not chosen to leave, but after all, something is missing, and it will take a long time to forget...

"Did something happen?" Han Ji asked.

"You have been calculating the location of Sha Yuan, right?" Mo Fan asked.

Ever since it became clear that Sha Yuan was the entrance to the ancient king's tomb, Han Ji had sent people to keep an eye on Sha Yuan's spatial migration. There were some things that Han Ji no longer wanted to happen again.

"Yes, I'm calculating it." Han Ji nodded.

"So where is it now?" Mo Fan asked seriously.

"wait."

Han Ji left for a while, and soon he came back with a thick notebook. There was a scholar next to him, who should be a scholar from the space department. He explained to Han Ji, and Han Ji listened carefully.

"The next migration will be at sunset tomorrow, right here..." Han Ji pointed to the map.

Han Ji had always had people keeping a tight control over the calculation of Sha Yuan's coordinates, and he would not allow anyone else to capture Sha Yuan's spatial migration patterns. However, if it was Mo Fan who asked, that would be another matter.

"I'll just go there." Mo Fan said.

"Go for a trip? You want to enter the Evil Abyss? What do you want to do in the Evil Abyss?" Han Ji asked several questions in one breath.

"There is something I want to ask in person. I'm leaving now. Well, it's relatively close to Ganxi City and there are planes to take, so it should be quick." Mo Fan said.

……

Mo Fan did not stay in the ancient capital for too long. He took a flight directly to Ganxi City. The next time Sha Yuan drifted through space, he would appear about two hundred kilometers away from this city.

On the second day, Mo Fan arrived at this desolate yellow land, but Sha Yuan arrived earlier than Mo Fan. The surging evil energy was like the arrival of the devil, and no normal person would step into it.

There are no undead near the Shayuan now. The undead will not easily appear on the land of the living. Mo Fan's tiny figure gradually sank into the entrance of the dark hell furnace, just like escaping into another mysterious and terrifying world!

He took a deep breath and then stood at the edge of the Evil Abyss. Looking down, he still saw corpse faces filled with resentment, violence, hunger, hatred, and greed. They were mixed together as the Evil Abyss slowly rotated. It was clearly an endless ocean of pain.

Mo Fan had jumped over it once before, and he knew that the light of the Little Loach Pendant would protect him and allow him to fall to the bottom safely, but the fear that came at him was something he didn’t want to experience a second time.

Even with my eyes closed, the evil spirit remained undiminished.

Mo Fan jumped down at this time, and then his body was sucked into the sea of ​​corpses...

……

He fell into the black space, and Mo Fan kept walking forward along the barren black land. Above his head were still billions of corpses, which formed a slowly wriggling cloud. The corpses fell to the ground like rain, hitting Mo Fan, and then turned into pools of moving blood mud.

Mo Fan walked forward and headed towards the White Tomb Palace. This lonely mausoleum that had stood there for thousands of years had not changed at all, but it still gave Mo Fan a suffocating chill.

After entering the bronze door, the evil eyes are still there!
He walked through the gallery without any obstruction and passed through smoothly.

The Eternal Demonic Lotus is no longer there, and this Gateless Palace can no longer pose any obstacle to Mo Fan.

He crossed the Bridge of Death and chose a bridge at random. This time, this bridge did not lead to the Gate of Death, but led Mo Fan directly to the Blood Altar and the Blood Throne...

Mo Fan himself had never been to this bloody altar. This was his first time stepping into it. It was completely black and so smooth that he could see his own figure reflected in it. The surrounding area was as dark as the universe, cold, empty, and eternal.

……

Lin Ran's eyes fell on the distance, and he suddenly said, "I'll go over and take a look."

Lingling looked at Lin Ran and said, "Be careful."

Lin Ran nodded, and soon he appeared on a high slope.

Lin Ran saw densely packed creepy creatures slowly moving forward, including a monarch-level magic frog tied up with chains.

In front of the magic frog, there are some twisted undead that are dragging the magic frog forward.

Lin Ran saw the tall pyramid...

Suddenly a chill came over me.

"who!!!"

A voice like that of a demon god sounded, and Lin Ran felt as if his head was hit by a sledgehammer. He stepped back hastily, Emperor!!!
Absolutely king-level!!!

That is a terrifying existence that surpasses Lin Ran’s current state.

Faster, faster, faster!!!
This is a catastrophe that is no less terrible than the one that happened in the ancient capital, and even more horrific because there is an emperor!!!
……

"Come on, we should get going too." said the tall woman, looking at herself in the mirror.

It was a face that became more and more charming and beautiful.

"Do you like spending time with him at school?" the woman suddenly said.

But soon he turned sarcastic.

"We haven't talked much..."

The woman talked to herself.

Suddenly a girl walked in. She looked at the charming woman and said, "Yu Mian, I have asked for leave for you. What are you going to do?"

The seductive woman smiled and said, "Go help someone, a very important person."

The girl couldn't help but ask: "He is your boyfriend, right?"

"Should..." The charming woman left.
