At this time, the city of the dead.
The gray fog was wriggling like a living thing, engulfing the horizon. The sweet smell of decay and gravel slapped against the leather masks of the adventurers.
A bone claw suddenly broke through the ground and grabbed the thin man's ankle, breaking into pieces with a scream.
This is the 100 millionth and 1st warning from the Land of the Dead to the living.
"Even the wind in this damn place carries a curse!"
The fat man used his dagger to pry open the half-hidden bronze fragments on the ground. The blue sparks from the collision between the metal and the sword blade illuminated the sweat beads on the tip of his nose.
The three war horses were already kneeling and vomiting blood five miles away.
At this moment, the reins tied to the dead tree were still moving without wind.
“Is this the land of the dead?”
Three adventurers were wandering outside the gray fog, hesitating whether to go in.
“Yes, it’s here.”
"The treasure you mentioned is in this godforsaken place?"
A fat man asked the captain.
"That's right"
The captain nodded.
"Don't be fooled by the fact that this place is now a desert and a land of the dead, but thousands of years ago, there was an extremely large country here."
"Its prosperity and power cannot be compared even if the three major countries today unite."
"what?!"
The fat man and the thin man were shocked.
“Has there really been such a country in history?”
"How can it be false?"
The captain frowned, very dissatisfied with the two team members' questions.
“This is recorded in the history of many countries and races.”
"Think about it, how could there be no treasure in a place like this?"
"But"
The fat man touched his head and said, "Thousands of years have passed. Even if there are good things, it is not our turn."
"hehe"
The captain shook his little finger and chuckled.
"No no no!"
"Do you know how such a prosperous ancient country perished?"
"How?" the thin man became interested.
“I heard that he was punished by God.”
The captain pointed upwards and said cautiously:
“And it happened overnight.”
"what!"
After hearing the captain's words, the two covered their mouths, widened their eyes, and couldn't believe it.
The country was destroyed overnight.
Such a powerful country.
Even someone as powerful as the Elf King would probably not be able to destroy the ancient country consisting of the three major kingdoms combined, right?
That is--
"Is it really God?"
It’s not that they don’t believe, but God is too far away in their time.
Even whether God really exists or not is a question.
Some people even suspected that the so-called Seven Kings of Lishen were fake.
After all, among the seven kings of the gods, only humans are not true "kings"
It was conceived by other races in order to consolidate their own authority.
"How can it be false?"
The captain rolled his eyes at the two idiots.
"If it weren't for the gods, how could such a powerful ancient country be destroyed in this world, or even--"
As he spoke, he looked towards the land of the dead, the gray fog.
“Turning this place into a kingdom of the dead”
"Creating the Undead, a race that defies nature"
When the captain mentioned the undead, his body began to tremble unconsciously.
After all, the immortality that humans dream of is something that the undead are born with.
Moreover, it can also be immune to physical attacks to a certain extent.
The fire of the soul is immortal and the body is immortal!
Many scholars believe that if it were not for the 'undead' they would not leave the City of the Dead.
I'm afraid that this world has already been occupied by the undead.
"Therefore, few people can enter the ancient ruins alive."
“Even fewer people can come out.”
As he spoke, the captain looked at the two of them.
"So, don't worry!"
"what!"
The two of them looked at the gray fog and immediately hugged each other.
"If others can't get in, then we can't get in either!"
"No no no!"
The captain shook his little finger and laughed.
"I have this!" "As long as we have this, the undead won't dare to approach us."
As he spoke, he took out a rare treasure.
"What's this"
The fat man was curious.
"I don't know either. This is what my master left for me. He said that only with this can I enter there."
"It is said that it was obtained from the ruins of a mysterious fallen civilization. Unfortunately, I haven't studied it thoroughly."
"Oh~ I see!"
The fat man nodded in sudden realization and looked carefully at the strange object in the captain's hand.
This is a strange object that looks like a stone tablet.
The material seems to be very precious, with complex symbols engraved on the surface.
"Will this thing protect us?"
The thin man looked at the captain uncertainly.
"do not know"
The captain shrugged and said that he had not tried it either and could not answer.
"Then...let me give it a try?"
As he spoke, the thin man slowly approached the gray fog area, observing as he walked forward.
"Hey! Be careful. Although the undead in the gray fog have no consciousness, they are aggressive towards living things. Please retreat quickly."
Seeing the thin man looking for death, the captain hurriedly reminded him.
However, after he finished speaking, there was no response.
"Um?!"
The captain was stunned. Was he seeing things?
He looked up and saw a faint red light flashing in the gray fog.
Then he was startled.
"Thin guy!"
As soon as I shouted, I suddenly felt the hairs on my back stand up, as if a sharp knife was stabbing into my back.
"Pfft!"
Blood and flesh splattered everywhere. He lowered his head and stared blankly at the dagger exposed in his chest.
The dagger was covered with black rust and looked worn out.
At the other end of the dagger was the owner of a pitch-black sickle.
"No, no, no."
The thin man's eyes were dull and his pupils were dilated.
"I don't want to die. I'm still young. I don't want to die."
Before he could finish his sentence, he fell to the ground dead.
The skeleton that killed the thin man turned around coldly.
The fire of the soul flickered in its pupils, making it look eerie and terrifying.
Next to him, there were two skeletons.
“Hula~~~~”
"Hula~"
A strange sound of wind came from the gray fog.
“Crack~~”
A body was torn apart, revealing the bones inside.
The same thing happened to the other one.
“Gurgle, gurgle~”
In the gray fog, skeletons stood up one after another.
These are all dead, but they have their own will.
Undead, the inhabitants of the kingdom of the dead.
Their bodies have long since turned into undead spirits.
But the soul still remains.
"Why?"
Captain, the fat man looked terrified and kept backing away.
"Why are there mature undead here?!"
"Help"
"roar~"
A huge undead roared and rushed towards the thin man, wanting to devour his soul.
"Brush~"
However, at this time
brush!
A flash of sword light appeared.
The huge undead was turned into ashes in an instant.
Seeing this scene, the fat man widened his eyes and looked shocked.
"This this……"
Before he could finish his words, a figure appeared in front of him.
She was a pink-haired loli who looked about eleven or twelve years old.
Compared to before, the girl is much more mature.
The originally chubby little face has become a perfect oval face, which is even more charming. (End of this chapter)
