Main Volume Chapter 94: "Death Emission" and "Whisper of the Dead"
Carl stood in front of the ruins of the clock tower in the center of the desert city, looking at the sky where rain was falling, and whispered, "Look at the time, the others should have started as well."
"I've waited so long..."
"finally……"
As he was sighing, a group of Ajid followers in black robes came up to him, saluted respectfully and said, "Master Ajid, the undead gang gathered in Rotma Square has been dealt with. What should we do now?"
Carl waved his hand and said, "Concentrate all our forces and eliminate the Colosseum, Locke Gang, Professional Guild, and Royal Chess Gang in turn... Don't worry about the other small fry, just let the Undead Army take care of them."
"Once we have eliminated all the main forces in this city, you will return here and wait for the Sea of the Dead to end."
The followers said in unison: "Yes, Master Akito!"
After saying that, the followers scattered and disappeared into the surrounding houses like ghosts.
Countless undead creatures began to crawl out of the rotten soil nourished by the black rain. They had no emotions, nor could they speak. There was only one thing they did, which was to pick up the weapons in their hands and attack any living thing around them.
Suddenly, screams of terror were heard from all over the desert city. Human lives were treated like those of pigs and dogs, and blood splattered all over the ground. It was a horrible sight.
Zhang Yun had no time to care about these villains who didn't know how to cooperate with each other when they were about to die, and instead stabbed them in the back. He and Lucina went directly to the caravan, killing all the undead creatures they met along the way, and then evaporated the group of undead creatures that besieged the caravan with a combination of skills.
After finding the caravan, Zhang Yun and the group confirmed the situation and discovered that the professionals hired by the caravan were quite powerful. No one was injured and no one died.
"Boss, what should we do now? Should we just leave the city?"
After witnessing Zhang Yun's invincible firepower that could clear the field with one shot, the caravan members understood that when they had kindly brought Zhang Yun and others to the Holy City, they were not helping others, but rather they were hooking up with a super big shot.
No wonder this man was able to cure the heat and quicksand along the way, and he could do everything...
Zhang Yun replied to them: "Follow me, find a safe place, and stay there. We will come back to find you after we get rid of these undeads!"
The leader of the caravan was stunned: "Ah, this?"
Zhang Yun explained: "This city has been cast under a large-scale magic spell. Undead creatures are everywhere, and they will continue to be born until all the people in the city are killed."
"If you go out into the streets now, you will definitely not be able to deal with the undead coming from all directions, and many people will surely die."
"And once we break the magic circle and get rid of all the undead creatures, you can come out and it will be much safer!"
After hearing Zhang Yun's explanation, the caravan members instantly understood the seriousness of the situation. Without asking Zhang Yun too much about how to deal with these undead, they directly ordered all caravan members to abandon their goods and camels, gather together, and follow Zhang Yun.
Everyone crossed the streets filled with undead, relying on the elemental elves' powerful clearing combo skills to move smoothly all the way and headed straight for the professional guild where Zhang Yun had activated the professional system earlier.
The people in there are all professional hunters who make a living by hunting monsters, and they are quite powerful. There is also a muscular man . If the caravan is hidden there, it should be possible to ensure that no one will die.
As for the other party not accepting people...
Then first spend money, then use force to intimidate them, so that they know that we are not just seeking protection...
In this case, anyone with normal IQ should agree...
When they arrived at the door of the professional guild, just as Zhang Yun had expected, the professionals here were much better than the thugs outside. Not only did they not take advantage of the chaos to rob and backstab others, but they stood together and fought together against the endless stream of skeleton undead.
Zhang Yun did not waste any time and started with a magic combination skill, allowing three groups of elves to clear out the undead creatures in that area, demonstrating his powerful fighting ability.
As expected, this move stunned the group of professionals who were resisting the undead. They stared at Zhang Yun and his group with a hint of shock and vigilance in their eyes.
The muscular leader came out and asked, "Why are you here? Do you want to work together to fight against the undead? Or do you want the money and weapons stored inside?"
"If you want money, I'll give it to you directly. Don't do it. We don't want to waste our energy!"
The professional guild is very rich, but the employees inside are all very powerful. Normally, no one dares to come here, nor do they have any ideas about the wealth inside.
However, when faced with such a chaotic situation and fighting taking place everywhere, those people are unsure.
And this place is a well-known disorderly place with various gangs rampant. Even in normal times, there will be idiots who come to the professional guild to rob money, so the muscular man will naturally doubt whether Zhang Yun and his gang are gang forces who come to take advantage of the chaos to rob.
In response to the question, Zhang Yun, who maintained her true appearance, took out ten gold coins from her backpack and threw them to the muscular man in a cool manner: "We don't want money, we just want to borrow a place to hide temporarily. By the way, please take a job and protect the ordinary people behind me."
The head of the caravan standing behind him said quickly: "Ah, boss, we have our own money..."
Zhang Yun waved his hand to stop the caravan leader from saying anything. He then continued to look directly at the muscular man and said without looking back, "This is the deposit. You protect them. After the task is completed, I will give you another 100 gold coins!"
After hearing this, everyone in the professional guild was extremely surprised, including the muscular man who looked like a human tank.
One hundred...gold coins?
This amount of money is a huge sum for our professional guild!
Who is the man in front of me?
Have so much money?
The people in the caravan were also frightened by these words. Although one hundred gold coins was not a lot for their caravan, it was not a small amount either. What was more important was that Zhang Yun was willing to pay such a huge price for someone they had only known for ten days. It was simply unbelievable.
Zhang Yun had no explanation for this - gold coins were as cheap as mud to him. On the contrary, the mission dragon diamonds brought by each surviving caravan member were truly priceless treasures.
"Hello!"
"Will you answer it?"
Seeing that the muscular man didn't reply for a long time, new undead creatures crawled out of the rotten soil and stared at the caravan members hungrily. Zhang Yun couldn't help but raise his tone.
He took out ten gold coins again, threw them at the muscular man, and said, "Okay! I'll give you ten more! Do you want them?"
The muscular man reacted and quickly put away the gold coins, put them in his pocket, and shouted: "Take it! Just protect them, right ? Our professional guild has a very safe basement. Even if large-scale attack magic is used, it can withstand several days. They will be absolutely safe hiding in there!"
"friend!"
"Do you think this is okay?"
Zhang Yun's eyes lit up: "Well... it's okay, but are you sure that the basement is safe? Can it keep out the undead creatures for a few days?"
The muscular man said, "Absolutely! That basement is prepared to deal with sieges by high-level magicians. The material inside is mithril that can absorb magic, and there are several layers of defensive magic arrays on the inside and outside of the walls. Not to mention blocking these undead creatures for a few days, even blocking them for half a year is not a problem!"
"If there are too many undead and we can't defend the guild, we will hide in there ourselves."
oh!
Is it that powerful?
Doesn't that mean I can 100% get the dragon diamonds given by all the tasks?
Zhang Yun was overjoyed, and took out another ten gold coins, threw them to the muscular man without hesitation, and said, "Very good! I'll give you ten more gold coins! As long as the basement you mentioned can ensure that all of them survive, I'll give you fifty more gold coins after the matter is over! It's in addition to the one hundred gold coins!"
Muscular man: "..."
Big brother!
This is not how you spend money, right?
You're throwing money around like water. Aren't you taking the gold coins too seriously?
Zhang Yun ignored the dumbfounded muscular man and turned around to look at the grateful caravan members and said, "Okay, you guys hide inside. I'll come find you when it's safe!"
Immediately, the caravan leader knelt on the ground and kowtowed, saying, "Thank you... I really don't know how to repay you for what you have done. I can only thank you with the Eastern kowtow. You saved dozens of lives in our caravan!"
For the caravan, they really didn't know that they could ask a professional guild to protect themselves. Even if they knew, they couldn't walk from such a long distance on their own, and there would inevitably be unlucky people who would be overwhelmed by undead creatures along the way.
Therefore, these people all knew that it was Zhang Yun who contributed both money and effort, which allowed them to get here safely and be qualified to hide in the basement of the professional guild that was not open to the public.
Zhang Yun quickly helped him up: "No, it's just a small matter. If you really want to thank me, then you should live well and take us to the Holy City as soon as possible after the matter is over."
The caravan leader said, "Of course! We will set off directly to the Holy City when the time comes! We will not waste any more of your time!"
Well……
Actually, what I am thinking is that our strength is now completely exposed, so I want you to send one person to take my flying follower to fly us to the Holy City...
Ahem, let’s talk about this matter after it’s over. Now let’s think about how to break the magic circle of the Sea of the Dead and kill Ajid at the same time!
After thinking about it, Zhang Yun said no more. He took some time to hand over the caravan to the muscular man of the professional guild, and then took Lucina and Zun Ge to meet the undead army all over the city.
For safety reasons, Zhang Yun left a few elemental elves and murlocs to follow the caravan, responsible for ensuring their safety and conducting real-time inspections of the professional guild's "security forces."
Afterwards, he did the same thing as usual, using the Elf's combo to clear the way, Zun Ge did the harvesting, and Fizz finished off, moving forward like a bulldozer.
The difference is that this time he is not a tool summoner who only casts buffs, but a novice magician who can use magic and directly participate in the battle.
And there is a princess dressed as a man beside him to protect him closely.
"So, can you explain where you learned this magic?"
Lucina stared at Zhang Yun who was casting magic with a strange look on her face. The white sword in her hand was shaking slightly, just a hair's breadth away from the ground.
Zhang Yun tilted her head and said, "I learned it all by myself, and I suddenly realized it. I don't know what happened..."
Lucina rolled her eyes. "I've never seen a magician who can cast a complete spell on his own . Even an absolute genius can only release the most basic magic waves. It's impossible to extract the elements of fire, lightning, and wind separately, and it's even more impossible to fly as far as you can."
Zhang Yun squinted her eyes and said, "You have to believe that there are many strange things in the world. Maybe I am the exception..."
Lucina covered her forehead and said, "Okay, Master of Logic, you win. I can't argue with you."
Zhang Yun coughed and said, "Ahem, I say, instead of worrying about such insignificant matters, why don't you help me figure out how to deal with this magic circle that keeps summoning undead creatures."
"You are an intellectual who has read so many books. You should know how to solve it, right?"
Lucina shrugged. "I don't know. How can a book that records necromancy be easily found? Even if there are ancient books that are occasionally circulated, they have long been collected by people from various churches and hidden in the most secret places, protected by the Paladins to avoid falling into the hands of some evil people."
After hearing this, Zhang Yun couldn't help but say, "However, they took away the books from ordinary people, but still failed to stop the evildoers from using necromancy..."
Lucina ignored Zhang Yun's complaints and continued, "However, I do know how to solve other large magic arrays. This undead array may have a similar principle to them and can be dealt with in the same way ."
Zhang Yun looked at her and said, "Tell me about it."
After hearing this, Lucina sighed and pointed at the elite skeletons commanding the undead army in the distance and said, "Before we talk about this, can you please deal with those guys first? They are very troublesome!"
"If you don't want to go, let me go. After we solve them, I will come back and slowly talk to you about the solution to the magic circle."
"Eh!"
"etc!"
"Don't be impatient!"
"I'm looking to see what they are capable of!"
In fact, it is because these elite skeletons have a special skill called "Death Emission", which can continuously increase the experience of the surrounding skeleton undead, automatically increase their levels, and the effective range is quite large.
There is also a special skill "Whisper of the Undead", which can speed up the efficiency of producing skeleton soldiers from the surrounding rotten soil. It has the same large skill range as "Death Emission", and is a pure buff-type tool man.
So Zhang Yun deliberately spared their lives, allowing them to strengthen the surrounding skeletons, speed up the generation of skeletons, and improve the efficiency of followers gaining experience.
Lucina asked, "So what did you find out?"
Zhang Yun said: "Continuously enhance the strength of the surrounding skeletons, and increase the speed at which these rotten soils summon skeletons. These are basically the two, and there seems to be nothing else."
Lucina raised her eyebrows. "Hey, now that you've spotted them, why don't you deal with them right away? Do you want all the skeleton soldiers here to become high-level professionals?"
Zhang Yun held her hand and said, "Don't panic! Wait a little longer! I'll keep them for later use!"
After all, Lucina didn't know Zhang Yun's ability to kill monsters and level up, so she couldn't understand why Zhang Yun kept these "chief commanders" who were constantly increasing the strength of the undead alive, instead of quickly getting rid of them and reducing the overall strength of the undead in this area...
Lucina glanced at Zhang Yun holding her right hand, then looked into his eyes and said, "Then you'd better hurry up."
"These skeletons evolve at different speeds. Several of them have reached the level of advanced professionals and are still growing stronger. Their combat wisdom is also increasing."
"They did not attack us rashly, but retreated to the back and joined forces with undead of similar strength..."
"If this continues, the number of undead will increase. Even if you have the power of inheritance, it will be difficult to fight..."
