Chapter 113 Tracking all the way


Chapter 113 Tracking all the way

After packing up, everyone set off again, following the swaying corpses and walking deeper into the forest.

They did not light the torches. Fortunately, as a mage, Ann gave them night vision spells, so that they could see things like daylight 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 did not understand why they wanted to take such a spoiled and frail young lady with them. Now it looks like...

Well, it is indeed more convenient to have a mage.

"What the hell is this."

Following the corpses, Cliff couldn't help complaining as he watched the burned and blackened corpses staggering in the snowy fields. To be honest, just seeing walking corpses at night is scary enough, and following them forward is simply a scene that appears in nightmares.

"What do you think? Ann?"

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

"I'm not sure. This kind of magic is strictly forbidden to be learned in Manalia, but manipulating corpses is more similar to necromancy..."

"Can it be solved?"

"Generally speaking, fire magic is enough."

"That's true."

Duanmu Huai nodded, but didn't say anything more. With his war hammer and the sacred power exerted by Sigma, it wouldn't be a problem to fight against a necromancer or something.

In this way, everyone followed these dead people for nearly half the night, and then Duanmu Huai stopped.

"It's right in front."

He lowered his voice and spoke to the others behind him. Everyone was stunned when they heard Duanmu Huai's words.

"Did you see it?"

"Of course."

Duanmuhuai raised his head, and through the lock on his helmet, Duanmuhuai could clearly see the scene in the distance. In the enlarged scenery in front of Duanmuhuai, he could see a dilapidated and huge carriage. It was parked on the mountain road, and the carriage was filled with densely packed corpses. They waved their arms in despair and let out wails and wails like weeping. On the carriage, a man wrapped in a rag robe was sitting there. He was holding a dry staff in one hand and a small bell in the other, shaking it from time to time.

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

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

"So many corpses? What does it want to do?"

"It is impossible for an ordinary necromancer 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 dead 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.

It is almost impossible for a necromancer like this to be able to collect dead people—or even living people—with almost no restrictions.

"Whether it is possible or not, this is how it is now."

Duanmuhuai never considers theoretical issues, just like the scientists in many movies who basically say "this is impossible" - you say it's impossible, then give me an explanation.

Otherwise nothing is impossible.

Not to mention that in this world where gods really exist, I believe you when you say that birds can swim in the water. At present, Duanmu Huai is more concerned about whether to chop it down directly than it is possible.

"Do you want to do it?"

"It's not easy."

Kevin shook his head. According to Duanmuhuai, the carriage itself transported countless corpses, and around the carriage were protected by skeleton guards, cavalry, and even corpse witches. In this case, just relying on these people to rush over would be simply asking for death.

"I, I've heard..."

However, there was a mercenary in the team whose face turned pale at this moment.

"I have heard of...the legend about these night-walking corpses. It is said that there is an old necromancer who will collect corpses from all over the empire. Wherever he goes, he will shake his bell to remove the sleeping corpses in the cemetery. Awaken them all and take them away. If anyone wants to stop them, they will become one of them... No one knows why the old mage did this. Some people say that this is a contract he signed with a powerful existence... …”

"Well, he is still a professional grave digger."

Duanmu Huai rolled his eyes.

"Don't worry, since I said I would fight, I am confident." "Since you are confident..."

Speaking of this, Kevin was silent for a moment.

"Then, let's give it a try, but please be sure to capture the Necromancer alive. I have something to ask him."

Now that the employer has spoken, others can only continue to move forward according to Kevin's order even if they are unwilling. Soon, they arrived in the woods not far from the convoy. It can be seen that on both sides of the carriage, there are several people. Ten skeleton soldiers held spears, and behind them were undead knights riding skeleton horses. Corpse witches floating on both sides were whispering blasphemously, driving the corpses onto the carriage as if driving animals away.

Duanmuhuai just watched this scene quietly, until the last corpse got on the carriage, Duanmuhuai nodded to An.

"Do it!"

"Understood!"

An, who was already impatient, immediately jumped up when she heard Duanmu Huai's order. Then she raised her hands high. Following An's movements, a huge magic circle appeared above the motorcade. Then, A fireball burning like the sun emerged from it, illuminating everything in front of it.

Seeing this scene, the corpse witches next to the carriage were shocked. They hurriedly raised their staffs and tried to dispel this terrifying magic. At this moment, An had already swung down hard, and with her movements, fireballs fell from the sky. It hit directly in the center of the convoy.

"Boom!!!"

The exploding fireball engulfed the entire convoy, and most of the skeleton soldiers and undead knights nearby were not spared. For a moment, everything around was engulfed in flames, burning with blazing fire.

"………………"

Seeing this scene, the mercenaries were shocked. They looked at An in surprise, as if they had not expected that this little girl had such powerful magical power. However, before they could express their feelings any more, they saw Duanmuhuai standing up and rushing out of the woods with the warhammer in hand.

“Rush!!!”

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

At the same time, the undead people responsible for guarding the carriage also noticed the presence of Duanmu Huai and his party. He hurriedly turned his weapons and attacked them.

“————!!”

Just as Duanmuhuai rushed out of the woods, an undead knight riding a skeleton horse rushed in front of him. However, Duanmuhuai didn't even block him. He lowered his shoulders and sprinted forward, instantly killing the skeleton. The horse and the undead knight were smashed into pieces. As for the last hit, let the others behind him finish it!

He has only one goal!

After Duanmuhuai smashed the Necromancer Knight, his momentum remained unabated, and he continued to move forward, rushing past the skeleton guards' defense line like a stuck dump truck, and rushed directly into the burning fire. The huge carriage carrying a huge number of corpses had now turned into a huge bonfire, with flames rising straight into the sky. However, the hot flames did not make Duanmuhuai retreat even half a step. He rushed directly into the fire and killed forward. Soon, Duanmuhuai saw a tattered skeleton in the flames not far away. 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, and then he strode over and grabbed the bell from the ground. At the same time, the system prompt appeared in front of Duanmu Huai again.

[Obtained the sacred object ‘Spirit Summoning Bell’]

Phew... Done!

Duanmu Huai was relieved when he saw the system prompt. This was one of the reasons why he advocated launching an attack immediately. After all, after discovering the holy 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 run away, and pulled it out of the fire - the poor old necromancer seemed to have only been able to resist half of the attack, and his lower body had been completely blown to pieces. Only the upper body was left hanging there, and Duanmu Huai grabbed him out.

At the same time, Kevin and the mercenaries have also wiped out all the undead around the convoy. After all, the undead need to be commanded by mages, and when the mages themselves cannot protect themselves, their combat effectiveness is naturally not worth it. Mentioned.

"This guy is the culprit."

Duanmuhuai walked out carrying the necromancer with only half of his body left.

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

"Please wait."

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

"Can you let me have a little chat with it?"

"Of course."

Duanmuhuai pulled off the two skeletal arms of the Necromancer and threw them aside. Kevin walked over and saw him facing the Necromancer and whispering something, and the dead man The spirit mage answered a few more words, and then burst out into crazy laughter—and then stopped abruptly.

Kevin stood up and pulled out the long sword that penetrated the necromancer's head. Then he walked to Duanmu Huai with a serious face and looked at everyone.

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