202 The Undead Are Here Again
There was more than one spring in the forest. There were seven to eight springs on both sides of the road. The spring water gathered and turned into a hot spring river.
Compared to the hot spring river in Fire Dragon City, it was much thinner. Moreover, by the smell, one could forget about taking a shower.
However, this water seemed to be quite attractive to Magical Beasts. Many Magical Beasts gathered around and stared at humans.
Most of them were Hell Demon Wolves that had special Run characteristics. It was too troublesome to kill them. Otherwise, they would have been dinner today.
!!
Under the heat of this hot spring river, the surrounding vegetation were lush and growing well.
“Yi!”
A big bird stood on a branch and called out to the Humans. The branch was only two to three meters from the ground. It stood quietly and looked at the Humans.
“Characteristics endowment failed. Target: Three Yellow Leaf Rainbow Tail Colored Crown Demon Sparrow, not the person.”
‘That’s a long name.’
Fang Ping raised his head and looked at the big bird. It was more than a meter long and its entire body was light yellow. The colorful crown feathers on its head were thin and long. Its tail feathers were colorful and hung down from the branches, almost within reach.
It was a very beautiful Magical Beast.
Chen Long in front retreated and came to Fang Ping’s side.
“Fang Ping, you should know its name, right?”
“Three Yellow Leaf Rainbow Tail…”
“Three Yellow Leaves? It’s actually a Legendary creature. Shockley said that this is the most beautiful Demon Sparrow he’s ever seen on the continent. We actually met it. It’s indeed beautiful.”
“Shockley?”
“Knight Shockley’s Travels on the Continent. It’s quite an interesting book.”
“I’ve seen it before, but I’ve never heard of this name. I have an impression of the most beautiful Demon Sparrow. Rainbow Demon Sparrow, I think it’s called this.”
“That’s shorthand. Actually, that’s it.”
Fang Ping looked at the Demon Sparrow above his head. According to Shockley, it was a rare Magical Beast with a gentle personality. Moreover, it was very beautiful, especially when it flew, leaving colorful shadows behind it.
Just this name…
The feedback given by the characteristic was different from what Fang Ping knew.
Fang Ping was also exploring the principles given by characteristics.
The Rainbow Demon Sparrow stood quietly and watched the Humans pass before leaving.
Self-destruction and Flawless Barrier characteristic.
With the enhancement of these two characteristics, no creature was willing to provoke it.
Why court death by self-destructing at the Legendary level?
“Fang Ping, aren’t you just an ordinary student? Aren’t you going to study with them?”
Chen Long continued to walk beside Fang Ping, teasing him and pointing at the hot spring river.
Five or six people walked along the hot spring river, bending down and looking for sulfur grass.
Sulfur grass grew beside hot springs with a stimulating smell and could be used to make fireball potions. It was also the main material for signal flares. More importantly, after it was dried, it could be stored for a long time without affecting its use.
This was also the reason why so many people were looking for it.
It was not that there were no expensive herbs on the way, but it was inconvenient to carry them. He did not know how long it would take to return to the human city. He could only eat them directly to increase the weak energy. It was extremely wasteful.
Fang Ping looked at them and shook his head. “Forget it. One copper horn for each blade. There are so many people. My eyes are not as good as theirs. I won’t waste time.”
After walking for a while, the hot spring river beside him slowly widened and became larger. The temperature did not decrease. A gust of wind blew, and there was a heat wave.
There was also a spring at the bottom of the river, constantly replenished by hot water.
This was a fracture zone, right? There were so many hot springs.
Fang Ping felt extremely hot, and so did Qing Niao, who was walking by the river. He would walk back from time to time to catch his breath. He was covered in sweat, like a sauna. Fang Ping was worried that he would get a heatstroke.
Oh yes, Andre was also among them.
Andre had been closer to Feng Ling and Red Camelia Snake recently, and their relationship got better.
Red Camelia Snake and Feng Ling seemed to have reached an agreement. They no longer undermined each other and fought tit for tat. Instead, they often saw the two of them chatting and laughing. They were very close.
The effect was that Andre spent a lot of time with them now and rarely came to look for Fang Ping and Qing Niao.
“Walk out of the hot spring forest. The River Ayr is in front. We’ll reach the Forest of Elves soon.”
“Chen Long, have you been to the Forest of Elves?”
“No…”
Before Chen Long could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a roar from ahead.
Elsa said, “Everyone, be on guard!”
Fang Ping quickly put on his helmet and gripped his cane tightly. The Undead were here again.
However, ever since they encountered the Undead, Fang Ping’s team could not participate in the battle. After slacking off the entire time, Fang Ping was happy to have nothing to do. He did not have to be a commander anymore.
The trees in the hot spring forest grew along the river. On both sides of the river, the land was flat and the view was wide.
The carriage stopped. Fang Ping grabbed the carriage’s frame, hoisted it up, and looked ahead.
Densely packed black Undead appeared in the distance. They surged over aggressively along the riverbank.
As far as he could see, he could not see the end of the Undead.
So many!
...
How many Undead were there!
Moreover, a large group of Skeleton Warriors was extremely terrifying and restricted Mages from using large-scale spells. Otherwise, unless one had a Golden Body, they would definitely die if dozens or hundreds of Death Curses erupted.
Xiang Yu’s Golden Body Transmission could be used, but against the overwhelming Undead, it was still useless for the Golden Body that last for 30 seconds only.
The Undead were still far away. This time, they did not play any tricks. Their strategy was to fight head-on.
One by one, the horses were moved out of the carriages and placed on both sides of the line.
At the front of the team were the Holy Knights of the Vatican.
They raised their large shields and propped them on the ground. They turned their bodies to the side and prepared to receive the impact of the Undead.
The crossbowmen of the Machete City’s guards stood on both sides of the Nuns. They raised their crossbows, loaded them, and waited solemnly.
The other Melees were cutting down the trees on both sides to prevent the Undead from circling around from the blind spot.
“Fang Ping’s team, retreat to avoid being affected by the battle.”
In the following battles, Fang Ping’s team could not interfere. They could only stay far away, lest they distracted the team and had to be taken care of.
...
Under Teacher Elsa’s instructions, Fang Ping’s team followed the carriage and slowly retreated. Fang Ping could see many people clenching their fists, looking indignant.
From the carriage, the Elf stepped out. Sif stood on the carriage, discovered by the Undead.
Their roars were even louder, and they increased their speed. With all kinds of skills, black waves surged and collided.
“All troops, defend!”
“Attack!”
Streaks of holy light and arrows were drowned in the black wave.
The horses on both sides were instantly torn apart. The Paladin’s line of defense was like a dam, holding on to its spot and blocking the first wave of impact.
Empty heads and pale arms came through the gap between the shields, baring their fangs and claws.
The Paladin did not move. He still leaned against the shield and let the skeletons scratch his body.
This scene did not last long.
The Undead wave behind continued to push over, piled up one by one. The wave was about to cross the dam and surge back.
“Saint Realm!”
A golden circle of light appeared. The edge of the circle of light happened to be at the feet of the Paladin.
The Skeleton Warriors and Zombie Guards in front of them stepped on each other and piled up into a tall wall in front of the Paladin.
