I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

Anno replenished his summoned creatures, bringing his team to a full 20.

Anno couldn't carry all the remaining undead hearts by himself, so he had to ask everyone to help him carry some.

Looking at the expectant eyes of everyone, Anno said, "High returns mean high risks."

The danger of the battles to come is self-evident.

"President Anno, my dear boss~!"

Hansen lowered his voice and said, "This isn't the first time. Ever since I started working with you, every battle has been an adventure!"

But each time we received unimaginable rewards.

Everyone is ready!

"Guild Master, Hansen is right," Kahn said earnestly. "We know you're nurturing us, and we all want to grow as quickly as possible to help you. Although hunting undead zombies is risky, we won't back down!"

"If an adventurer doesn't take risks, what kind of adventurer is he? These are your words, Guild Master."

Everyone took turns expressing their opinions.

No one backed down!

"In that case, let's begin!"

Without further ado, Anno ordered his undead summons to scatter around the forest to find any lone zombies.

There were at least two thousand zombies following behind the group.

This is roughly a quarter of the Cursed Lands—including the corpses, almost all three thousand soldiers and five thousand monsters have been transformed into undead zombies.

The two thousand zombies that followed were almost all of the second tier.

The first-tier zombies weren't fast and couldn't keep up.

After entering the forest, the two thousand zombies lost sight of Anno and the others, and began to slowly move northward.

Perhaps there were too many zombies gathered there, and the death aura emanating from them polluted the land in the forest.

Wherever the zombies passed, flowers and grass withered, and leaves fell.

But polluted land is different from cursed land.

At least in Anno's observation, these undead zombies did not have the buff that cursed the earth.

With undead summons, Anno's safety is greatly improved.

Anno knew perfectly well which direction had more zombies and which had fewer through his summoned creatures.

They followed the zombie army slowly northward, killing any lone zombies they encountered.

Two hours later, Anno and his companions hunted down more than a hundred Tier 2 zombies. All the adventurers leveled up to level 11 and advanced to Tier 2!

And Anno also just broke through to level 13.

After leveling up, killing zombies becomes much faster.

However, the lone zombies had been mostly cleared out by Anno and the others, and what remained were groups of at least several dozen zombies.

"Want to give it a try?"

Xue Feibai, who had reached level 12, arrived at Anuo's location and asked a question while looking at a group of undead zombies crashing into a tree.

"Sixty of them, and there are even level 15 undead zombies. This is too dangerous!"

There are forty in the pile on the right, the highest level is only level 14, we can eat these.

However, the two piles are only about 30 meters apart, which makes things a bit tricky.

We need to find a way to lure the zombies on the right over here.

Anuo shook his head, then quietly left with Xue Feibai.

Upon arriving at the adventurers' hideout, Anno looked at everyone and asked, "How is everyone recovering?"

"We can fight again!"

Combat consumes stamina and mana.

Therefore, before each battle, Anno would let everyone rest for a while.

However, the recovery couldn't keep up with the depletion, and now everyone's magic power could only sustain them for one more battle.

Anno summoned the harpy and guided it to the line of sight of the group of about forty zombies, but without being detected by another group of zombies not far away.

The harpy is not a necromancer, but the life force emanating from her attracted the attention of the undead zombies as soon as she appeared.

Dozens of zombies charged over, howling.

The harpy strode forward, leading the zombies into the ambush set up by the group.

Here, the Goblin High Priest had prepared [Flame Dance], and Geng Qingxue, Mark, and other ranged attackers also began to attack the zombies.

Upon seeing the living, the zombies unleashed their skills, attempting to rush to the adventurer's side.

However, eighteen summoned creatures blocked their path.

The summoned creature, now at level 13, has seen a significant improvement in all its attributes.

One summoned creature can easily hold off two in a short period of time.

The remaining few were quickly eliminated by the combined fire of the group.

Then, everyone focused their energy on dealing with the zombies that were entangled by the summoned creatures.

Ten minutes later, the soul fire of the strongest level 14 zombie soldier was also completely extinguished.

This was the first time Anno and his team had hunted so many zombies at once.

Although the experience gained decreases as the level increases.

However, Anno still gained 4000 experience points, bringing his total to 4013/20000.

Following this trend, if there are four or five more waves, Anno can reach level 14.

However, the adventurers had expended too much energy, and their magic power was at a dangerously low level.

Everyone must ensure they have 20% of their magic remaining to prepare for emergencies.

Moreover, the remaining zombies were clustered together in far too many numbers.

There are as few as sixty or seventy, and as many as several hundred.

Anno only has twenty summons, which isn't enough to stop him.

"If only we were in the Forbidden Forest, we wouldn't have to worry about mana consumption at all."

Geng Qingxue and the group of magicians and adventurers began to miss the church in the Forbidden Forest.

That church was a wizard's paradise.

"We've already made quite a haul. And the zombies are almost across the forest. Without the cover of trees, we'll be exposed to their line of sight, which will be very dangerous!"

Anno glanced at the undead hearts in everyone's backpacks and said, "Let's retreat now!"

No one objected to Anno's order.

Mark walked over to Anno and pointed out the edge of the forest, explaining, "If the undead zombies continue north after leaving the forest, they will reach the town of Gruul."

This place is about five kilometers away from the town of Grür.

At the non-combat movement speed of undead zombies, it would take them about five hours to walk. It's impossible for them to catch up with the adventurers' guild members who left earlier.

However, the journey from this forest to the town of Gruel is all flat land with open views.

As the guild leader said, even if we regain our magic power, we will no longer be able to hunt undead zombies in the same way as before, given this terrain.

As for taking a detour back to Varkam, we have two options.

Go east, cross a mountain, then turn north, passing through Falling Rock, and continue north. It will take a few hours to get back to Warkam.

Go west, follow the Missy River into the Forbidden Forest, then head north; that will also take you back to Valkam!

The Mississippi River is a very long river, and the Lake Town River in the town of Grower is part of the Mississippi River.

It also traversed the entire Forbidden Forest.

"There's one thing to consider before choosing a detour route."

Lu Yan suddenly spoke up: "A large portion of those mercenaries who scattered and fled took the route through Falling Rock Town."

We stayed in the forest for several hours, and they probably passed through Rockfall Town long ago with their undead zombies.

If we choose the road through Falling Rock Town, we might face a horde of undead zombies blocking the way.

"We can't go through Falling Rock Town, and we can't go directly to Gruel Town either. So we have no choice but to go through the Forbidden Forest!"

Xue Feibai shrugged and looked at Annuo.

The Forbidden Forest is no longer worthy of its name after the death of the Goblin King.

Moreover, everyone's level is far higher than it was back then.

Therefore, everyone felt no pressure when crossing the Forbidden Forest.

Anno didn't rush to make a decision, but instead fell into deep thought.

After spending several hours in this forest, who knows where all the undead zombies that burst forth from the cursed land have gone?

Now, no matter which path they take, there may be a large number of undead zombies waiting for them ahead.

Moreover, Anno noticed at the time that the undead zombies chasing Tester were transformed from Asar.

Given the Third Prince's strength, without any trump cards, he probably wouldn't be able to defeat the zombie Asar and would have no choice but to run away.

Anno didn't know where the zombie Asar was now.

Choosing either route is a gamble.

In contrast, the Forbidden Forest not only has trees to block the view, but also a church and a teleportation array.

Going this way would be more advantageous for Anno and the others.

"Leave the Forbidden Forest!"

After receiving Anno's instructions, everyone quickly packed their things.

After the entire undead zombie army had emerged from the forest, Anno waited for a while longer.

Only after the zombie army had walked several hundred meters away did Anno lead the adventurers out of the forest and head towards the Forbidden Forest.

At this moment, in the Forbidden Forest, a dozen people were lurking in a cave.

Two women were being protected in the center by more than a dozen people.

It was Selena and Laura.

Outside the cave where they were hiding, swarms of undead zombies roamed.
