Versatile Mage: Undying Fire

Chapter 356 Line of Defense
Lin Ran was sitting in the palm of Scorpion Lord Medusa's hand. He could see a tall monster, the Sphinx. This monster was comparable to the Totem Black Snake, or even stronger. It had been punched in the face by Lin Ran before, and it hadn't recovered yet. This guy was very despicable and would launch sneak attacks, so Lin Ran pressed it down and beat it, but this guy was also very tough and difficult to beat.

He saw many monarch-level Hades frogs dragging the huge Pyramid of Khufu forward.

This is a power that can destroy a country. Now he also understands that this is HJT's plan. They want to use the power of the Egyptian god of the underworld to create killings.

Lin Ran was not idle either. He was trying to break the restrictions on his body.

If there was no Egyptian god of the underworld, he believed that he would have the power to stop the horde of undead.

……

If we go by the procedure, then the matter of the old herdsman is indeed under the jurisdiction of the Inquisition, but Mo Fan and the others can see that He Feikun is a complete bastard and a waste. However, as a prevention team, the most important thing for them is to find evidence of HJT and find the top leaders of HJT.

The extraditers Shepherd and Cheng Ying are still living freely and freely, just like ordinary people. They may be even friendlier to ordinary people in many cases, so that people who come into contact with them will not associate them with HJT at all.

Mo Fan and his men were also keeping their troops on hold. The two were extremely alert. Even if they reached their destination, they would probably stop for a while on purpose or stay on standby for a while. Their superiors were probably afraid that the two would cause them trouble.

“Do you think Leng Jue and the Extradition Chief will give up on these two people?” Zhao Manyan was a little anxious at this time. Lin Ran was nowhere to be found, and there was no movement from the Shepherd and Cheng Ying. Moreover, Mo Fan’s darkness infection was not infinite. As long as Mo Fan’s darkness infection dissipated from them, these two guys would most likely escape, and then everything they had done before would be completely in vain.

“The levels of these two people are not low. As long as it is clear that there is no problem with them, HJT will not let them go.” Mo Fan said with certainty.

"But what if neither of them participated in the core plan?" Zhao Manyan said.

Zhao Manyan is just a hypothesis. What they are doing now is so dangerous that they must take all possibilities into consideration.

"Then we have done our best." Mo Fan said. Mo Fan was a little worried about Lin Ran, but he believed that Lin Ran would be fine. In Mo Fan's opinion, that guy would not die.

What Mo Fan can do now is to track down these two people. This is an important clue that Leng Qing exchanged his life for, and it is worth it for him to pursue it. However, if he cannot touch the true backbone of HJT, then Mo Fan does not think there is any fault or regret, because he has done what he should do!

……

The enemy was also extremely patient, and Mo Fan was equally unmoved. He continued to use Little Loach's promotion to practice.

His shadow system has great hope of breakthroughs, and Mo Fan is also racing against time. He hopes that he will be more confident when he collides with HJT!
Zhao Manyan was feeling quite bored and walked around waiting to get back to Mo Fan. When he found that Mo Fan was still meditating calmly, he started to get mad.

Just when Zhao Manyan was about to leave, Mo Fan suddenly opened his eyes, and a sharp light flashed in his dark brown eyes!

"You made a breakthrough?" Zhao Manyan asked.

"That's right... and they have already taken action." Mo Fan said

Zhenbei Fortress City

This is a city with a very long history. In the past, it was called Zhenbei Pass, but now it has been built into a border fortress that combines a fortress, magic market, and residence.

The entire market is located inside the fortress, and the fortress is surrounded by thick walls like an iron barrel, and there are very large front and rear towers. It looks particularly majestic and even dignified and solemn!
Mo Fan and his companions were very confused. If the extradited Shepherd and Cheng Ying left the city and went straight to the Zhenbei Fortress City, then they would head north to a loess plateau.

Soon they came to a place where few people had been. Mo Fan naturally had to follow them. The road was mostly covered with yellow soil, and there was little vegetation to be seen.

……

Inside the fortress, Zhao Manyan and Lingling were waiting here. Since they were in a relatively desolate place, only Mo Fan, a master of the Shadow Element, could continue to follow them. If Lingling and Zhao Manyan went together, they would be easily discovered. After all, HJT was very vigilant and had not relaxed even after so long.

Lingling is still investigating the matter of the small town, and she has found some information about ancient Egypt.

“You may not find any clues by searching like this, so why not just ask directly?” Zhao Manyan said, noting that Lingling was still studying.

"Who are you asking?" Lingling couldn't help but push the big frame of her glasses. She felt that Lin Ran's disappearance must be related to the undead.

"Of course it's the Egyptian City Chief of Staff Finner. I have her contact information, hehe." Zhao Manyan laughed at this time.

Before the final battle of the World Academy Competition, Zhao Manyan was deeply impressed by the female staff officer Finner during their war in Egypt. Afterwards, she generously gave him her contact information and said that she could contact him if she had any problems.

Mo Fanzhi had been so busy that he had forgotten about this person.

As he spoke, Zhao Manyan made an international call directly, so that he could tell her about the situation here and ask her to help analyze it.

"Is it Staff Officer Finner?" Zhao Manyan asked.

"It's me. By the way, why are you calling again? I've already told you that I'm not very interested in Asian men." Staff Officer Finner said coldly.

"..." Zhao Manyan was speechless. Well, he admitted that he had flirted with this female general before. "This time it's for an important matter."

Afterwards, Zhao Manyan told Staff Officer Finner what the old man had said.

Finna was silent for a long time. It was not until Zhao Manyan asked that she could not help but answer, "Theoretically, it is impossible."

“Don’t talk about theories. Mo Fan has already gone deep into HJT to investigate…” Zhao Manyan said.

"Listen to me, there is an ancient legend about the mirage in Egypt. In fact, even we ourselves are not sure whether it is true." Finner said.

"What legend is it?" Zhao Manyan asked.

"Hades and Kongsi. This story is a bit similar to the Greek story of Pandora's Box... Let me tell you briefly." Finner said.

The story of Hades and Khonsi was not actually circulated in Egypt, so mirages have always been considered a natural phenomenon, and people believe that it is a punishment from God to the Egyptians.

Very few people knew Kong Si's story. As a female staff officer and general, Finna had more or less heard of such ancient rumors, but such rumors were difficult to verify. "Dimensional Triangle Mirror?" Zhao Manyan and Lingling looked at each other in surprise.

They had heard this word before when the old man muttered to himself, but unfortunately this old man said it too vaguely!

"I heard that this thing doesn't exist, and it seems to be placed inside the Great Pyramid... I'm not very knowledgeable about these antiquities. Give me a little time, and I'll go and ask about the true situation of the dimensional triangular mirror." Finner said.

Finna was also extremely shocked about the appearance of the pyramid mirage in China, so she felt that the matter must be investigated thoroughly.

"Okay, then go ask." After listening to the legend told by Finner, Zhao Manyan felt an inexplicable chill all over his body.

Lingling and Zhao Manyan had similar feelings, because many fragments of the legend of the Hades and Kongsi matched what the old man had said. Now they believed the old man's words even more.
It might take some time for Finner to trace this ancient event. Zhao Manyan felt that this event might be true, which made him feel uneasy staying in the house.

“How about we go out and buy some items to protect ourselves from the undead? After all, this is a big magic market and we probably have everything here,” Zhao Manyan said.

"Okay." Lingling nodded immediately.

Waiting blindly like this is not a solution. They should take some precautions. They might really have to face the undead of Upper Egypt again this time. Now they believe more and more in what the old man said.

I hope Mo Fan can also capture some important information. I always have a feeling that something big is going to happen!

……

After arriving at the magic market, Zhao Manyan bought an antidote for corpse poison. These undead were basically carrying the poison of decay. Even a small scratch by a fingernail would cause the entire arm to rot if not treated in time.

In addition to this, if he could buy one or two ice magic weapons and tools, it would be very helpful in dealing with the undead. Zhao Manyan now has a lot of money on hand, so he can be prepared!

“But speaking of which, this Zhenbei Pass seems to be part of the Great Wall?” Zhao Manyan suddenly remembered something and scanned the fortress city.

This magic market is surrounded by the high walls of the fortress, and to the north of the fortress, there is a very ancient section of the Great Wall. The old rock body winds on the yellow land and high slopes, and then stretches to the east and west, forming a magnificent and undulating ridge barrier, and then protecting the Central Plains behind it.

"This was used in the past to guard against wild beasts in the northern border," Lingling said.

“Aren’t the wild beasts in the northern border extremely strong? Can they really defend the Great Wall?” Zhao Manyan looked over.

Compared to the human physique, the Great Wall is indeed magnificent and extremely difficult to climb. It is even strong enough to resist the invasion of countless armies.

But the problem is that this only works for ordinary people. If a real wizard wants to jump over, it will be very easy to do so, not to mention those monsters who can jump ten or twenty meters in one leap.

Such a stone Great Wall could easily be trampled and smashed by demons, and it is unclear how it has been preserved to this day.

"Hey, I can tell from the first glance that you are an uneducated person!" Just as Zhao Manyan raised the question, a woman with healthy and radiant skin snorted coldly.

Zhao Manyan was standing on the fortress wall at this time, where many military mages were coming and going.

The one who scoffed at Zhao Manyan's words was a female officer. She had an extremely thin waist and a bust that seemed to be about to burst out. Not only was she heroic, but she was also full of the temptation of a military uniform that was perfect for Zhao Manyan!

As soon as he saw that she was a beautiful woman, Zhao Manyan didn't care what she said before. Even if the other party actually despised him, he could still be thick-skinned and walk forward with a smile.

"Then I would like to trouble this female comrade to explain to me what is so special about this Great Wall?" Zhao Manyan said.

"Zhenbei Pass has suffered countless attacks over the past thousand years, and the number of enemies is often far greater than that of our fortress defenders, but they have never broken through this fortress city. This is all because of the existence of the ancient Great Wall." The female officer has a kind of awe and faith in the ancient Great Wall, and will not tolerate others to blaspheme it in the slightest.

"Really? But I think if some earth magicians combine several skills, the effect may not be much worse than these ancient Great Walls, right?" Zhao Manyan continued.

"You are so ignorant!" the female officer was even more disdainful.

"Hey, hey, don't go, tell me the reason."

“I don’t want to talk to an ignorant person like you anymore.” The female officer turned around and strode away, followed by a small team of patrolling military mages. They also glared at Zhao Manyan and looked very unfriendly to him.

Zhao Manyan felt puzzled. He felt that what he said was absolutely correct. The ancient Great Wall had long been reduced to a tourist attraction. If it was purely from a war perspective, then it had no practical value...

Just as he was cursing at the arrogant female officer, his phone suddenly rang. Zhao Manyan thought that Finner had an answer, so he answered the call and heard Mo Fan shouting anxiously:
"Hurry up and put the entire Zhenbei Pass on alert!"

……

Lin Ran looked at Scorpion Lord Medusa and said, "Can you lift me up a little higher?"

Scorpion Lord Medusa maintained respect for the strong, so she raised her hand a little too high.

Lin Ran also looked back. He saw that the frog in the front was about to touch the defense line. It had to be faster.

Hurry up.

Lin Ran closed his eyes, and began to concentrate on removing the restriction.

When Scorpion Lord Medusa saw Lin Ran close his eyes, he put his hands back to their normal position.

At this time, a mummy who was surrounded by people came over. The mummy looked at Lin Ran and said, "When I find a way to kill you, you will become one of us. With your strength, you should be able to become a general of the Hades."

Seeing that Lin Ran didn't say anything, the mummy snorted coldly and left.
