Versatile Mage: Invincible from the Fire of Disaster

Chapter 156: They are both undead, why is there such a big difference?

Lin Ming glanced at the time and the sky.

It felt like it would take a few more minutes until full daylight.

He sat on the rock behind him to rest.

But suddenly, Captain Huo Houxun of the Hunters came up to Lin Ming and gently touched Lin Ming's shoulder with his slender fingers.

"I didn't expect you to be so powerful, handsome boy! We are both high-level mages, how about we have an exchange?"

As he spoke, his mouth moved closer and closer to Lin Ming's ear.

Before Lin Ming could say anything, a voice suddenly rang out.

"Captain, you are harassing us. We will be complained about again soon!" said the male hunter with a crew cut unhappily.

"Heh! I'm so beautiful! What's wrong with just chatting with this young man?" Huo Houxun folded his arms around his chest and sneered.

This hunter captain is indeed quite handsome, and because he has been hunting monsters for many years, the wild aura on his body adds a bit of flavor to him.

"Ah~" The buzz-cut hunter sighed, looked at Lin Ming and apologized, "Our captain has no ill intentions, she's just a bit of a nymphomaniac. My name is Lu Ju, if she comes to harass you again on the road, you can tell me."

After that, he looked at Huo Houxun again and said, "Let's go, Captain. There are other things to discuss."

Huo Houxun also sighed, but before leaving, he did not forget to tease Lin Ming.

"The ring on that handsome guy's hand is so pretty! Are you getting engaged? Of course, I can accept an extramarital affair~"

After saying that, she made a heart shape to Lin Ming and turned away.

But Lin Ming ignored her.

Given the diversity of species in society, it is not surprising to meet all kinds of people, let alone hunters who live on the edge of a knife.

As for the ring on Lin Ming's hand, it is actually the blazing stone. Lin Ming basically wears it all the time because it can increase his understanding of fire.

"There are a lot of vampires around!"

Lin Ming used the contract to communicate with Nie Qingsi in the undead space.

When he first arrived here, Lin Ming discovered several vampires, but vampires are also undead, so they didn't have to wait until dawn to leave the city.

"Well, while I was gathering intelligence, I met quite a few of my kindred spirits, even quite a few large families from Europe. If I remember correctly, it seems Gangro also had a leader come to the ancient capital."

Nie Qingsi nodded.

"Gangro? A European vampire family?"

Lin Ming asked in confusion.

"Well, they are one of the strongest vampire families, and they possess quite powerful secret techniques. The Commander-level Gangro is almost at the pinnacle of the command field."

Nie Qingsi explained.

Lin Ming narrowed his eyes slightly.

A powerful vampire at the commander level. It seems that this journey will not be easy.

While Lin Ming was thinking, a ray of light broke through the darkness in the gray sky and pressed countless undead souls into the ground!
"Let's go and prepare to leave the city." Huo Houxun's expression changed slightly, the smile on his face disappeared, and he instantly became extremely serious and earnest.

The undead will not come out during the day, so the ancient capital is relatively safe.

But the journey is long and it would be impossible to reach the destination without several days and nights.

Soon, night began to cover the earth.

The breath of the undead begins to spread!
"Gray garlic entrance!"

Under the cover of the pitch-black night, the ground began to tremble gradually, and the undead slowly emerged like sprouts breaking through the soil.

Huo Houxun snorted coldly and immediately ordered everyone to swallow the gray garlic that had been distributed in advance.

Without hesitation, everyone put the gray garlic in their mouths. The gray garlic tasted like dirt, like someone forcing a mouthful of moist dirt mixed with rotten, spoiled meat into your mouth!

Although gray garlic is hard to swallow, the effect is still good.

The skeleton undead that emerged from the mud ignored everyone and slowly moved towards other places.

"Is this gray garlic so effective?" Wei Feng asked in surprise, "Then there will be no danger on the road."

But Huo Houxun shook his head and said, "The production of gray garlic is extremely low, and demand is basically outstripping supply. This is all we have left. Furthermore, gray garlic has significant limitations. First, water will wash away its effectiveness, and second, its effectiveness is greatly reduced against undead commanders or above."

"That's pretty strong." Wei Feng nodded.

Huo Houxun glanced at the people behind him again, especially at Lin Ming and Xing Wanli.

"From now on, we must be ready for battle at any time. The Undead System should summon the undead creatures first!"

The summoning system is not very useful here, because the summoned creatures cost an ash garlic, not to mention that some summoned beasts cannot accept ash garlic.

However, this is not necessary for the Undead system. The Undead will not attract the attention of the surrounding Undead and can be summoned at will.

Since they had to travel quickly during the day, they didn't let the two of them summon the undead. After all, most of the undead were quite slow.

Xing Wanli nodded, and the gray undead star tracks behind him began to connect.

The next moment, a crack appeared in the Undead Star Track, and then a huge arm stretched out!

The arms are quite huge, with the palms alone being half the size of a human.

However, the body that came out was only the size of a normal person, although it was emitting a faint silver light!

With the appearance of this undead, the pupils of everyone present couldn't help but dilate slightly.

Not for any other reason, simply because this undead is too scary!
The head is covered in jet-black armor that looks like a Death Knight's helmet.

But this undead creature, whose body is only the size of a normal human, actually has seven or eight arms!
Each arm has a different shape, some are as big as a giant's hand, while others look like a sharp knife!

And the lower body is actually made up of three different creatures!

Humans, horses, and elephants have seven legs in total.

Even when surrounded by the undead, it still looks chaotic and terrifying!

"This is the Silver-Armored Corpse? Are you taking the splicing route?" Lin Ming asked in surprise.

All the skills of a necromancer mage are in the undead, and there are many ways to improve the undead. Lin Ming's method is to promote the undead like summoned beasts.

Xing Wanli's method, called splicing, is to splice parts of different undead onto the same undead, and use parts of more high-level undead to upgrade the undead.

This method is the same one used by wild undead, but humans have improved it to make its evolution more abstract and smoother.

Wild undead need to be replaced, while undead contracted by humans can be continuously stacked!
"Hehe, I have grafted several limbs of commander-level undead onto him. I wonder when this guy will break through." Xing Wanli smiled as he looked at his "silver-armored corpse" with some relief.

Everyone couldn't help but shrink back.

It can only be said that it is not unreasonable that necromancers are excluded.

Xing Wanli's ghost was so shocking that everyone couldn't help but look at Lin Ming.

Lin Ming's original bones are still in the laboratory, so he only has a few undead left in his hands.

After some thought, Lin Ming summoned Nie Qingsi.

The appearance of the vampire with a plump figure and graceful curves immediately caught everyone's eyes' attention. If the "silver-armored corpse" just now made everyone feel their eyes were dirty, then the undead summoned by Lin Ming helped clean their eyes.

Everyone felt their eyes brighten.

Xing Wanli glanced at the huge, terrifying, hideous undead beside him, then glanced at the charming and considerate Nie Qingsi beside Lin Ming, and couldn't help but shed tears of envy.

They are both necromancers, why is this guy's undead so good looking!
