Start a Core Pod

  Chapter 113 Tracking all the way

   After packing their luggage, everyone set off again, following the rickety corpses, and walked toward the depths of the forest.

  They didn't light the torches. Fortunately, as a mage, An gave them night vision spells, allowing them to see things like daytime even in the dark night. This naturally made the mercenaries overjoyed, and they immediately looked at An with admiration. You must know that at the beginning, they didn't understand why they brought such a delicate and frail young lady to act together. now it looks like...

   Well, sure enough, it is more convenient to have a mage.

   "What the **** is this thing?"

  Following behind the corpses, Cliff couldn't help complaining as he watched the charred and charred corpses staggeringly walking in the snow field. To be honest, just seeing walking corpses at night is scary enough, and walking with them is a scene that only appears in nightmares.

   "What do you think? Ann?"

   Duanmu Huai was still walking in the front. He stared around and asked Ann who was curled up in his arms. The latter frowned, thought for a while, and then shook his head.

   "I'm not sure, this kind of magic is strictly forbidden to learn in Manaria, but manipulating corpses is more similar to necromancy..."

   "Can it be solved?"

   "Generally speaking, fire magic is enough."

   "That's true."

  Duanmuhuai nodded, but didn't say anything more. His warhammer still has the sacred power exerted by Sigma, so it's not a problem to fight against a necromancer or something.

   Just like that, everyone followed these dead people for nearly half the night, and Duanmuhuai stopped.

   "It's just ahead."

  He lowered his voice and spoke to the other people behind him, but everyone was taken aback when they heard Duanmuhuai's words.

"Did you see it?"

"certainly."

Duanmuhuai raised his head, and through the lock on his helmet, Duanmuhuai could see the distant scene clearly. In the enlarged scenery in front of Duanmuhuai's eyes, he could see an old and huge carriage It was parked on the mountain road, and the carriage was packed with dense corpses. They waved their arms in despair, and wailed and wailed like weeping. And on the carriage, a man wrapped in a rag robe was sitting there, holding a withered staff in one hand and a small bell in the other, shaking it from time to time.

  Beside him, countless corpses came from all directions and gathered together.

  Duanmuhuai explained the scene he saw to others, and everyone was shocked.

   "So many corpses? What does it want?"

   "It is impossible for ordinary necromancers to gather so many corpses!"

Kevin also frowned at this time. As he said, although the necromancers in this world do have the ability to summon undead souls and awaken skeleton soldiers and zombies, most necromancers have limited strength in this area, or In other words - there are limits on the number of people and time.

   Like this necromancer, it is almost impossible to collect the dead—or even the living—without restrictions.

   "Whether it is possible or not, this is the way it is now."

  Duanmuhuai never thinks about theoretical issues, just like the scientists in many movies basically say things like "it's impossible" - if you say it's impossible, then give me an explanation.

   Otherwise nothing is impossible.

   Not to mention that in this kind of world where there are real gods, I believe that birds can swim in water. At present, Duanmuhuai is more concerned about whether to cut it directly than it may be impossible.

   "Do you want to do it?"

   "It's not easy."

  Kevin shook his head. According to Duanmu Huai, the carriage itself transported countless corpses, and around the carriage, there were skeleton guards, cavalry, and even the protection of the Lich. In this case, relying on them alone to rush over is simply asking for death.

   "I, I've heard..."

  However, there is a mercenary in the team whose face is pale at the moment.

"I've heard... the legend about these nocturnal corpses. It is said that there is an old necromancer who collects corpses all over the empire. Wake it up and take it away. If anyone wants to stop it, they will become one of them... No one knows why the old mage did this, some people say this is a contract he signed with a powerful existence..."

   "Well, still a professional gravedigger."

   Duanmu Huai rolled his eyes.

   "Don't worry, since I said I would fight, I am naturally confident."

   "Since you are confident..."

   Speaking of this, Kevin was silent for a moment.

   "Then, let's try, but please make sure to capture the necromancer alive, I have something to ask him."

Now that the employer has spoken, even if the others are unwilling, they can only continue to follow Kevin's order. Soon, they came to the woods not far from the convoy. It can be seen that on both sides of the carriage, there are several Ten skeleton soldiers held spears, and behind them was a necromancer riding a skeleton horse. Liches floating on both sides were whispering profanely, letting the corpses onto the carriage as if driving animals away.

   Duanmu Huai just watched the scene quietly, until the last corpse got on the carriage, Duanmu Huai nodded to Ann.

   "Do it!"

"clear!"

Ann, who had already been impatient when she heard Duanmuhuai's order, immediately jumped up, and then she raised her hand high, and following Ann's movement, a huge magic circle appeared above the convoy, and then, A fireball burning like a sun emerged from it, illuminating everything in front of it.

Seeing this scene, the Lich next to the carriage was taken aback. They hurriedly raised their staffs, trying to dispel the terrifying magic, but at this moment, An had already swung down forcefully, and with her movement, fireballs fell from the sky, It directly hit the center of the convoy.

   "Boom!!"

  The explosion fireball engulfed the entire convoy, and most of the skeleton soldiers and necromancers beside them were not spared. For a while, everything around them was engulfed in flames, burning with raging fire.

  “………”

  Seeing this scene, the mercenaries were stunned. They looked at Ann in surprise, as if they had never thought that this little girl possessed such powerful magical power. However, before they could feel any more emotion, Duanmuhuai had already stood up and rushed out of the woods with a hammer in hand.

"rush!!"

  After Duanmuhuai's roar, the others also clenched their weapons and rushed out with Duanmuhuai.

   At the same time, the undead who were in charge of defending the carriage also noticed the existence of Duanmu Huai and his party. Hastily turned the weapon and launched an attack towards them.

   "———!"

At the same time as Duanmuhuai rushed out of the woods, a necromancer riding a skeleton horse had already rushed in front of him, but Duanmuhuai didn't even block it, and directly lowered his shoulders and sprinted forward, instantly knocking the skeleton away. The horse and the Necromancer Knight were smashed into pieces, as for making up the knife - I will leave it to the other people behind to complete it!

  His goal is only one!

  After smashing the Necromancer Knight, Duanmu Huai continued to move forward, like a dump truck that was stuck, rushed past the defense line of the skeleton guards, and rushed directly into the burning fire. The huge carriage containing a huge number of corpses has now turned into a huge bonfire, and the flames shot straight into the sky. However, the scorching flames didn't make Duanmuhuai retreat half a step. He rushed directly into the fire and rushed forward. Soon, Duanmuhuai saw a skeleton in tatters not far away in the flames. It moved slowly, trying to reach out and grab the black bell not far in front of it.

   That's it!

  Seeing the black bell, Duanmu Huai's eyes flashed coldly, then he strode over and grabbed the bell from the ground. At the same time, a system prompt appeared in front of Duanmu Huai again.

  【Acquired the holy object 'Spirit Summoning Bell'】

   Hoo... done!

  Seeing the system prompt, Duanmu Huai breathed a sigh of relief. This is one of the reasons why he advocated launching an attack immediately. After all, after discovering the sacred object, Duanmu Huai... naturally wanted to get it.

  But it's not over yet.

Duanmuhuai put away the bell, then grabbed the skeleton that was trying to turn around and escape, and pulled it out of the fire. The poor old necromancer seemed to have only defended half of the attack, and his lower body had been completely blown to pieces. The remaining upper body was still dangling there, but was grabbed by Duanmuhuai.

At the same time, Kevin and the mercenaries have wiped out all the undead around the convoy. After all, the undead need mages to command them, and when mages themselves cannot protect themselves, their combat effectiveness is naturally worthless mentioned.

   "This guy is the culprit."

  Duanmu Huai walked out carrying the necromancer who was only half body.

   "What should I do now, should I kill it?"

"please wait a while."

  However, at this moment, Kevin stood up and looked at Duanmuhuai with a smile on his face.

   "Can I have a little chat with it?"

"sure."

Duanmuhuai pulled off the two dangling skeleton arms of the necromancer, and threw them aside, while Kevin walked over, and saw him facing the necromancer, whispering something, and the dead man The spirit mage replied a few more words, and then let out a maniacal laugh—then stopped abruptly.

  Kevin stood up, pulled out the long sword that pierced the necromancer's head, and then walked to Duanmu Huai with a serious face, looking at everyone.

   "Everyone, it seems that our work is far from complete."
