The predecessor of Yankou Town was a famous ancient battlefield, where countless corpses were buried, and there was also a huge cemetery of heroic souls. This time, many strange things happened in the cemetery of heroic souls. The graves were dug up and all the bones inside were stolen. Then a series of missing residents happened in the town, and the whole town was shrouded in terror. In the atmosphere, the missing disappeared, the fleeing fled, the population decreased sharply, and even the newly sent guards there disappeared.
"It is said that some people have seen a few walking skeletons outside the town, and some people have seen former acquaintances turned into unconscious zombies." Athena said, "People in Yankou Town are now unstable, and we must solve this problem as soon as possible. thing."
The magistrate is not only responsible for the security of Darkmoon City, but also for the security of all areas in the territory. This should be Chen Rui's responsibility, but it is not appropriate for him to make public appearances at the moment, so it falls on Athena's head.
"Zombies..." Chen Rui frowned. Although zombies reminded him of things like Raccoon City and the T-Virus for the first time, those were just the plots of movies in the original world. In this plane, those who can get along with these undead creatures Only undead magic.
Even in the Demon Realm, undead magic is not a popular kind of magic. Generally, researchers will choose secluded places such as deep mountains and old forests. It is rare to directly attack a densely populated area of an imperial territory like this.
"There is no doubt that there must be a guy who is proficient in undead magic behind the manipulation." Delia pondered for a while: "Just get rid of this magician, and the problem in Yankou Town will naturally be solved."
This sentence was approved by everyone, Athena nodded and said: "Yes, I will lead the guards to Yankou Town now, find and kill that magician."
"I'll go with you." Chen Rui, Delia and Lomon said in unison.
Pagliu said: "Delia, you have reached the critical moment of becoming a great demon king. I think you may break through at any time these days, so you must stay. Lomon, you also stay and protect Delia. , just in case. During this period of time, I was getting sick from boredom in Dark Moon, so this time I will go with Athena and Chen Rui. With my lord here, with a wave of my hand, that sorcerer will turn into ashes. "
Due to the shackles of the soul, Delia's advancement is very difficult. She has been stuck at the peak of the Demon King for a long time. Lomon was originally weaker than her, but now she has broken through to the Great Demon King, but Delia still failed to break through this hurdle. Fortunately, in the underground secret cave where the Mellon family originally lived, there is that kind of wonderful aurora ice, which makes Delia one step closer to breakthrough. The danger of shackles would be greatly reduced. If you can surpass Bai Luo's realm, then the spiritual shackles will disappear automatically, but this is very difficult, the best way is to kill Bai Luo.
When Lomon heard that Delia had reached the critical moment of breakthrough, he immediately gave up his insistence and agreed.
In this way, Pagliu, Chen Rui and Athena set off to Yankou Town with fifty guards. If they really deal with magicians, one or two is enough. The purpose of the guards is to maintain the chaotic order . Araux stayed in Darkmoon City to continue training soldiers and organizing battle ball training. In order not to affect Delia, this action also brought along the boring Diu Diu and the little dark horse who didn't like Lomon.
Originally, Delia and Athena wanted to name the Nightmare Beast, but the Nightmare Beast was used to hearing Chen Rui calling "Little Black Horse", so it actually decided on this very bad name, leaving everyone speechless.
Naturally, Chen Rui would not use his real face, but pretended to be a magician. Pagliu's identity was a swordsman, and the two were generals of the Wells family from Warlock Fortress.
Four days later, the team arrived at Yankou Town. Due to the decades of economic depression in Darkmoon City, several towns in the territory were generally poor and backward, and could not be compared with other territories. The population of Yankou Town was not large. Afterwards, this file looks even more dilapidated.
The first thing Athena did when she entered the town was to find the mayor, Shi Ke, a big devil with a fat head and ears. The magistrate of the territory is equivalent to the real power figure second only to the lord, especially when he still holds the army in his hands. The mayor Shi Ke is a member of the Saifu family. He knows Athena's background and his attitude is extremely flattering. He was long-winded, and asked directly about what happened in Yankou Town.
Shi Ke looked like he was afraid of blame, and he said hesitantly, about two months ago, many graves in the Heroic Soul Cemetery were dug up, and according to the report of the sent people, those graves were actually dug from the inside out. That is to say, the "resurrection" of the corpse comes out automatically. Shi Ke wanted to report this incident to Darkmoon City at the time, but the defense captain Seaman stopped him, saying that further investigation was needed before reporting. Shi Ke considered that the Mellon family and the Cypher family were fighting fiercely at that time, and this matter might be used by the Mellon family, so he adopted Seaman's opinion. As a result, the situation intensified. Not long ago, even Ximan himself disappeared. Shi Ke didn't dare to hide it any more, so he hurriedly reported to Dark Moon City.
Athena frowned. Shi Ke knew about this matter and did not report it, so she has an unshirkable responsibility. Although she is not good at politics, she also understands that the Cypher family is a staunch supporter of Princess Xia, and it is currently not When pursuing responsibility, it is necessary to solve the magician as soon as possible.
Athena did not stay in Shi Ke's mayor's mansion, but came to the original defense post and led the soldiers to station it. Right now, everyone in the town is in danger and panic all day long, and urgently needs to stabilize people's hearts. According to Chen Rui's opinion, everyone splits up. Athena integrates the remaining guards in the town and arranges manpower patrols separately to appease the mood of the townspeople. Pagliu went to the cemetery to investigate the situation, while Chen Rui went to the town to further inquire about information and learn more about the inside story.
When Chen Rui returned to the defense post, Pagliu had already returned. According to Dulong's observation, there was indeed an aura of undead magic in the cemetery of heroic souls, and that aura was very pure and stronger than imagined. Judging from Liu's experience, this magician has probably reached the Demon Emperor level.
Due to age and incomplete digestion of inheritance power, Xi Ya's strength is only the peak of the Great Demon King, which is weaker than the other three lords. The Demon Emperor level powerhouse is second to none in the Dark Moon Territory, no wonder he dared to openly Target densely populated areas.
Of course, this "No. 1" has the effects of black potion and aurora ice without Pagliu. The strength of the poisonous dragon has returned to the peak of the devil emperor level, plus the original devil emperor level combat experience and perception , there should be no opponent at the Demon Emperor level. It is a pity that due to the relationship between the ancient runes, Pagliu could only stop here, and could no longer advance an inch. If the opponent is a demon emperor level, there should be no big problem if there is a poisonous dragon.
Chen Rui's harvest is not small. He used disguise and other methods to obtain a lot of information. As the mayor, Shi Ke's reputation is not very good. Cruel, anyone who offends him will be imprisoned in a secret black prison, and there is basically no possibility of survival. If it wasn't for the horror of the undead incident, the disappearance of Seaman this time would make everyone applaud. According to the residents of the town, skeletons and zombies once appeared in the direction of Heiyan Mountain in the north and Rock Mountain in the west. , now no one dares to approach these two areas.
Pagliu nodded and said, "Let's have some food and rest for a while. We will split up tonight. I will go to Rock Mountain, and Chen Rui will go to Heiyan Mountain! Put the skeleton made by the necromancer into his mouth!"
Chen Rui frowned and said, "I always feel that this matter is not that simple."
"Don't complicate the simple question, there is nothing to hesitate, just find out the necromancer and you will understand everything." Pagliu said disapprovingly, and immediately made a decision: "Athena is the leader of the guard army , stay here with Diudiu, it’s just a little necromancer, Chen Rui and I can solve it as soon as possible.”
As night fell, a black figure appeared in the woods at the foot of Heiyan Mountain. It was Chen Rui riding a little black horse.
For the sake of caution, Chen Rui had already put on a set of equipment, and Lei Yin was always wearing it on his neck. The attribute of twice the damage of undead creatures should be able to play a miraculous effect in this kind of battle.
At this moment, there was movement in front of them, a white skeleton appeared in the sight of the two, followed by another one, more and more... Under the moonlight shining through the forest, densely packed, a piece of Boneless and creepy.
Race: Skeleton Man (undead), comprehensive strength assessment: E-. Constitution E-, strength E, spirit F-, agility F.
The skeleton man sensed Chen Rui and the little black horse who were not undead, and slowly surrounded them. The moving skeleton made a tooth-piercing creaking sound. The overall strength was that of an early stage mid-level demon. For Liu, more numbers are useless. Chen Rui punched in the air, and hit the frontmost skeleton with vigor. His half body was instantly shattered, and his lower limbs were still walking, but they were quickly destroyed by the turbulent aftermath.
Chen Rui remembered that Pagliu said that necromancers like to use crowd tactics the most. It is best not to waste energy and time in vain. Immediately mobilize the little black horse and throw punches along the way, smashing all the approaching skeletons.
The little black horse was very fast, before the skeleton approached, it had already passed through the encirclement, and passed through the woods not long after.
Although the road was bumpy, the little black horse was walking on the ground. The mountain path of Heiyan Mountain has been completely occupied by undead creatures. The fighting power of these undead creatures is not very strong, and the highest zombie leader has only reached the initial stage of high-level demons, but the horror of the number makes Chen Rui secretly startled. These undead creatures may number in the thousands. If they form an army, with their undead characteristics, once they face the Guardian Army of the Dark Moon, even if the Guardian Army can win, the price they will have to pay is quite heavy.
What's more, thousands of undead creatures is not necessarily the limit of this magician. Once it reaches a sufficient quantity or even quality, it will be enough to threaten the safety of the entire Dark Moon Territory.
