Volume 1: The Beginner's First Cry Chapter 32 Arrival
After returning to the human world, I was faced with another difficult task. Although I had met the requirements for qualifications and skill proficiency, I had no idea how to cross the Heluo grassland where lions were rampant. Lions were relatively large targets, so I might be able to avoid them if I was careful, but those wandering lone killers were absolutely fatal to a lone traveler like me. I encountered them unexpectedly several times, and I ended up being eaten by lions.
I've thought over and over, but have no good idea. I don't have Yun Wuying's ability to hide and enter and exit the Heluo grassland safely. If I die every time, I will be delayed for six hours. If this goes on, when will I be able to advance?
There was no other choice but to ask my friends for help. I started sending messages to contact Xue Wuxia.
"Sister Xue, hello, are you free now? I need your help with something."
"Yes, A'dai. You are such a realistic person. You usually don't even say hello to me. You are always thinking about your little hot pepper sister. Now you remember your sister when you are in trouble." Xue Wuxia replied quickly.
My face turned red. Fortunately, it was not a face-to-face interview, otherwise it would have been even more embarrassing. "Sister Xue , stop teasing me. I have been staying in the 'Dead Space' most of the time recently, and I didn't want to delay your leveling, so I didn't disturb you. I know you are also working hard to get promoted as soon as possible, and I had no choice this time." I secretly made up my mind that I would go to greet her every day in the future. I didn't want to be remembered by her.
"Haha, I scared you, don't worry, I'm just joking with you. Tell me, what do you need our help with?"
"I'm going to advance to the next level, but I need to cross the Heluo grassland. You know it's impossible for me to do it alone, so I would like to ask you to escort me through." I felt a little uneasy. After all, they were about to reach the critical moment of advancement. If they helped me, it would delay the leveling time and affect their own progress.
"Oh, you have met the requirements. That's great. Yesterday, I heard from Xiao Lajiao that you were still 13% short. I didn't expect you to be so capable. No problem. When are you leaving? We will meet up with you." There was no hesitation in Xue Wuxia's words. She was still very enthusiastic, which made my heart warm.
It’s almost time for me to log off. Xue Wuxia and the others are still in the wilderness, and it will take time for them to move over. I decided to wait for them to arrive in Qinglong City and then contact me, and then we can set off together.
After contacting Xue Wuxia, I went offline. The Undead War had given me such a huge shock that I felt a little tired mentally. I needed to take a good rest and summarize my experiences of gain and loss. This was the advice Afeng gave me. Only in this way can I continue to make progress.
The first thing Afeng did after quitting the game was to grab me, not even looking at the food on the table, and said, "What's wrong with you? Last time you said your experience value was only 87%, how come it's 100% in a short time? You can actually advance. Congratulations."
"Didn't I tell you about a method to quickly increase your seniority points? I had no choice but to take the risk and use that method. It took a lot of effort to meet the requirements."
"Undead War, you really started an Undead War?" A Feng screamed, and then changed the subject and said with a little excitement: "How is it? So many skeletons fighting, the scene must be spectacular, right? Since increasing qualifications is so effective, you can use it more often in the future. This level is guaranteed to increase very quickly."
I took a sip of soup and gave him a cold look. "Spectacular, absolutely spectacular. Hundreds of thousands of skeletons attacking me, it's impossible not to be spectacular. I almost died heroically. The setting of this Undead War is too abnormal. More than 2,000 of my brothers were killed by them in a short time. More than ten days of hard work were gone just like that. It really makes me sad! It's easy to say to use them a few more times, but how many of my brothers can withstand such consumption?"
Afeng rubbed his nose and laughed awkwardly, "Eat, come, eat first, and we can talk about anything after we finish eating." He quickly slipped over, served the food, and started to eat it voraciously.
Seeing Xue Wuxia and the others, it was inevitable that there would be another lively scene. We had not seen each other since the last time at the Heluo Grassland until today when we met again. I greeted them one by one, and I dared not be absent from the etiquette. These ladies were more powerful than each other, and I would not be happy if I offended any of them. Xiao Lajiao was even more excessive, grabbing my ears and scolding me for a long time, which made Nan Feiyan really unable to bear it and stepped forward to stop it, and then she let me go. Xue Wuxia and the others all stood aside and watched the show with a smile, and at the end, they gave a few hypocritical persuasion, which made me angry, but I could do nothing. I couldn't even deal with Xiao Lajiao, so how could I dare to make a few more enemies.
After a short rest, we set off. Every time we entered the Heluo grassland alone, we were always terrified, not knowing where a lion would pop out and end our short journey. This time was different. With Xue Wuxia as our guard, we had a lot of confidence. As long as Yun Wuying didn't perform too badly and our luck wasn't too bad, it shouldn't be a problem to reach the Forest of the Dead safely.
We dodged lion groups along the way, killed a few stray lions that suddenly jumped out, and crossed the Heluo grassland safely. It seems that their strength has improved a lot, their cooperation is more tacit, and their movements are smoother. In comparison, my progress in this area is very limited. Even if I can successfully advance, I may not be their opponent.
The Undead Forest is in front of us. With their strength, they are not strong enough to face the challenges inside. As a necromancer, I can move freely in it. As long as I avoid a few powerful beings, there will generally be no danger. I once again thanked Xue Wuxia and the others, waved goodbye, and watched their figures gradually disappear into the depths of the grass.
I feel too noisy when surrounded by them. Women are really troublesome. But once they disappear from my side, I feel much more lonely. It seems that I am the only one left in the world. I shook my head and put aside these strange feelings. Everyone has their own path to choose. Now that you have made a decision, don't regret it.
I strolled in the Undead Forest, feeling the tranquility here. However, for outsiders, this is definitely a dangerous place, full of murderous intent. Through the unique intuition of the "Soul Contract", I can feel the numerous undead hiding underground. If I didn't also carry the breath of the undead, they would have rushed out long ago. Low-level undead without wisdom will not actively attack their own kind, but will only fight back when attacked. I didn't know this when I first arrived at the "Dead Space", and I was frightened for a long time.
Of course, I still don't dare to provoke those intelligent undead. They are generally quite powerful. Not only are they powerful themselves, but most of them also have a large number of subordinates. If I want to subdue or kill them, I can only launch an undead war, which is very costly.
What I am looking for is a secret place, the mysterious cottage of the necromancer Mason. Only we who are also necromancers can discover its existence and enter it. Otherwise, unless you are a destined person, you will not be able to see his true face.
According to the information from the dead old man, this Mason is a remarkable guy who has escaped the pursuit of the Church of Light many times. He possesses incredible power and is a powerful holy wizard of the dead. It is precisely because of his presence in the Undead Forest and the undead enchantment of the Undead Forest that the power of light can be restrained, so that we are not afraid of the harassment of the enemy. Otherwise, this is the place where we undead wizards are promoted. If we are ambushed by those people from the Church of Light, wouldn’t it be a trap for us?
