Versatile Mage: I Awakened Nine Stars

Chapter 237: Huacun Defense War

With Xu Shen around, the undead creatures along the way are like chickens and dogs.

Finally, before the sun completely disappeared over the horizon, we arrived at our destination, Huacun.

Compared to Yangyang Village which was burned down, the situation in Hua Village was much better. Although the village was not big, the land was flat and the houses were well-maintained. Smoke could be seen rising from the kitchen outside the village, indicating that there were obviously people living there.

The night watchman was an old man who looked quite stubborn. He insisted that everyone destroy their communication equipment before allowing them to enter the village.

"Electromagnetic signals may attract the attention of demons. It is not surprising that Weiju Village has similar traditions," the short man explained with a wry smile.

"Why didn't you tell me when we left the ancient capital?" Asharuya narrowed her eyes, and a magical aura condensed at her fingertips.

"That's right." Xu Shen's face was full of suspicion. "I heard that some villages deep in the mountains and old forests always reach agreements with human traffickers to lure female students from other places. You are still speaking for this old man. Your intentions are not pure."

"Let me correct you. This is Xianchihua Village, not some deep mountain forest." The old man on night watch said in a serious tone, "Also, don't compare us with those low-class villages."

"No, we were just joking," Xu Shen said as he crushed the phone.

With Ding Yumian, the human polygraph, he confirmed that the two were not in collusion.

After him, everyone destroyed all the electronic devices they carried with them.

Seeing how cooperative they were, the old man on night watch let them in.

The village chief Xie Sang vacated a small courtyard for them and warned them to try not to go out at night.

"I heard that there are several college students coming to our village?"

A few people were eating dinner in the yard when someone broke into the house.

He is also a young man and looks about the same age as Xu Shen and the others.

"My name is Hong Jun," he said, and his eyes glanced at Asharuya and Ding Yumian, and he couldn't move his eyes away. He swallowed his saliva and couldn't speak.

"Is there something wrong?" Xu Shen stood at the door calmly, blocking the view.

"No...it's okay. I'm also a college student. My name is Hong Jun, and I'm from the ancient capital university. I heard that there are people of my age here," Hong Jun explained hesitantly.

It turned out that the village chief described her as a fairy descending to earth, but he was still dismissive.

When he was studying in the ancient capital, he had seen all kinds of beauties. But Xie Sang had been stuck in such a small village all his life, so how could he have such broad vision? He would probably even describe Cuihua next door as a fairy.

However, after seeing it, he realized that he had not seen enough of the world.

This is a real fairy!

It's just that the man in front of me is a bit annoying.

"I just came to ask if you guys have eaten?"

Hong Jun's voice gradually faded away.

"Oh," Xu Shen said expressionlessly, and slammed the door shut.

He didn't even need Ding Yumian to see that this bastard had ulterior motives.

He had seen this kind of look too many times in Mingzhu Academy.

Hong Jun, who was refused entry, looked ashamed and angry, with a hint of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes.

midnight.

The stars were hidden, the crescent moon was hidden in the dark clouds, and in the pitch-black night, not a single outline of the lonely Hua Village could be seen.

The rustling sound gradually became clearer.

Ding Yumian, whose spiritual cultivation was already extremely high, opened his eyes and woke Xu Shen up.

"What's wrong?" Xu Shen, with sleepy eyes, pinched the soft bun with his dog paws a few times.

"There are undead creatures."

Ding Yumian brushed off Xu Shen's restless hands, pulled back her hair that was held down by him, put on her clothes and got out of bed.

"Ah? Undead creatures?"

Xu Shen shook his head and became much more conscious.

The two put on their clothes and walked out of the cabin.

In another room, Asharuya, who was not asleep, opened the door.

A few minutes later, the short man, Ali and Axing also walked out of the third room.

Several people climbed onto the roof.

There were gusts of cold wind, and green ghostly fires flickered all over the mountains. They were the eyes of skulls.

This scene reminded Xu Shen of Bo City.

The eyes of those wolf demons were the same, ferocious and sinister.

A distant, heavy bell sounded.

"Quick, hide in the well cellar!"

The anxious voice of the village chief Xie Sang came. "Don't hide, I'm here!"

Hong Jun patted his chest, no fear on his face.

They drank the water from Kunjing, so the undead creatures will not attack them.

It was those outsiders.

Hong Jun looked back from a distance and looked at the courtyard with a sinister smile.

"Snapped!"

Xie Sang slapped him hard on the forehead and said, "Hide in the well cellar. There are more mutant undeads these days. They are attacking us too."

"Ah? How is that possible?"

Hong Jun was a little bit unbelievable.

The villagers of Weiju Village have all grown up drinking the water from Kunjing. With the water from Kunjing, no undead will actively attack them.

This is why they rarely practice magic but can survive in this land full of undead.

The old man who was keeping watch at the entrance of the village was banging the bell until he was scratched by the sharp claws of a zombie with an axe stuck in its head.

The old head flew several meters away and fell into the ground. The sound of the bell stopped abruptly, and only blood flowed all over the ground.

Hong Jun's pupils suddenly dilated.

"This...this is impossible!"

"Get in here, you little brat!"

Xie Sang kicked him into the well cellar and called other villagers in.

Xu Shen stood on the roof.

A ray of light shot up into the sky, making it bright and clear.

Corrupted corpses, pale skeletons, wandering ghosts...

Countless ghosts poured into this precarious village like a tide.

"Is that well cellar useful?" Xu Shen asked.

"It should work."

This scene was so horrifying that the short man's voice trembled. He said, "The well is usually buried deep in the rock layer that isolates the undead soil. If the undead creatures don't smell human scent, they should be able to hide for a while. As long as they can survive this night, everything will be fine."

"Let's hide in that cellar too," he suggested weakly.

"Escort the villagers into the cellar safely first," Ding Yumian opened a purple umbrella and disappeared into the night.

"Wait for me," Xu Shen followed.

"I...what about us?"

The short man's upper and lower teeth were chattering, and he was so nervous that he couldn't speak a complete word.

"Let's save the villagers first," Asharuya shrugged and turned into a dark mist and left.

“Although the fire system is not so professional, it should be of some use,” Ali smiled, the flames on his fingertips suddenly enlarged, and he ran out.

The short man was stunned, watching his teammates, with whom he had been working for a day, transform into gods one by one.

He's already so awesome, what's the use of having him as a guide?

After all, he is a mid-level light mage.

Gritting his teeth, he rushed out as well.

Most of the undead creatures that attacked the village were no more than slave warriors. They could not hold out for long under the rain of Xu Shen's intermediate-level light magic stars.

There is also Ding Yumian. Her Ten Thousand Souls Banner currently has only five hundred main souls and not many auxiliary souls.

She only needs to hold an umbrella and walk into the sea of ​​undead, and she will have 500 loyal thugs to help her expand her power.

As for Asharuya, a pair of dark wings appeared behind her, which were not obvious in the night.

But wherever she passed, the undead creatures would dissipate in large numbers, and the wings behind her would become more solid.

Xie Sang was immediately delighted when he saw these kind-hearted young people displaying their prowess.

After all the villagers were safely sent to the well cellar, he took the six young men in with him.

But at this moment, a man in gray robe suddenly appeared at the entrance of the village.

A cruel smile appeared at the corner of his eyes, and dangerous arcs of electricity flashed in his palms.

"The despair that comes after hope should be more interesting."

Purple thunder gathered in the dark clouds, and a bolt of lightning struck, turning the tightly sealed manhole cover into dust.
