Chapter 1545: Chapter 174 Immortal Undead_2
The Pope slightly bowed to Xi Wen, saying: "Thank you for the support from the Tian Gang Sword Sect. Please convey my regards to the Sword Saint of the Tian Gang."
Feng Wen walked to Xi Wen’s side and said: "I represent the Empire of Huasheng to announce that we will join the Tian Gang Sword Sect in supporting the Church."... Apart from the members of the Empire of Sunset City who were absent, emissaries representing forces across the continent all expressed their support for the Church in resisting the Dark Forces. The meeting concluded on a pleasant note. To quickly gather elite forces, after bidding each other farewell, except for the Elf Clan and Sect leader Xi Wen of the Tian Gang Sect, all other groups immediately left the Temple’s Divine Mountain and returned to their respective territories.
In the Temple of Light, only the Pope, Xi Wen, four Red Robe Priests, Elf Princess Xing’er, Grand Elf Envoy Audi, and Ah Dai remained, preparing to head to the Death Mountain Range to inquire into the Dark Forces.
The Pope looked around at the group and solemnly said: "Everyone, whether we can completely eliminate the Dark Forces and save the continent from eons of calamity depends greatly on your expedition to the Death Mountain Range. Ah Dai, since a part of the Death Mountain Range lies within the Tian Yuan Clan’s territory, you will need to travel there with the Elf Princess’s group. With the help of the Elf Clan, you should be able to enter the Death Mountain Range relatively smoothly. I heard from Audi the Grand Elf Envoy that he has been inside the Death Mountain Range before. Now, let him share the specifics with you. Grand Elf Envoy, please."
Audi nodded, stepped forward a few steps, and said: "Years ago, to prove my bravery, I recklessly ventured into the Death Mountain Range. I can never forget the horrors within, even after decades. The terror there is beyond anyone’s imagination. The name Death Mountain is not at all exaggerated. In the Death Mountain Range, death is pervasive everywhere, various Undead Creatures occupy nearly every spot. The most defining characteristic of these Undead Creatures is their fearlessness towards death. Those with slightly higher levels possess resurrection abilities."
Olivia walked up to Ah Dai and frowned, asking: "Resurrection abilities? Grand Elf Envoy, can you elaborate more?"
A hint of fear flashed in Audi’s eyes; he sighed and said: "Resurrection abilities mean these Undead Creatures cannot be truly killed. I remember, at the outskirts of the Death Mountain Range, the first thing I encountered was a dozen Skeleton Warriors. They weren’t very strong, and at that time, I easily defeated them, leaving bones scattered everywhere. Just as I was feeling proud of my achievement, a mutation occurred. The bones that had fallen apart astonishingly reassembled, and within a few blinks, the previously defeated skeletons stood whole before me once again, launching an even more powerful attack. Among Undead Creatures, skeletons are the most ordinary ones. I also encountered headless Death Knights, zombies with entire bodies drenched in green liquid emitting a foul odor, and many nameless creatures. They’re hardly afraid of being destroyed. Unless you can reduce them to ashes, they can stand back up and continue to attack in the shortest time despite being knocked down by heavy blows. Undead Creatures are most fond of human vitality; when they consume a human’s soul and flesh, they grow stronger. So, once humans are discovered, they will attack desperately and relentlessly. If not for good luck, I might have already become food for those Undead. Alas—, not to sound discouraging, if not for some reason preventing those Undead Creatures from leaving the Death Mountain Range, they might have already invaded the continent."
Ah Dai and the others drew in a sharp breath; although they had thought the Death Mountain Range would be extremely dangerous, it wasn’t until now that they understood how terrifying it truly was. Immortal Undead, how could they be dealt with! Even with Ah Dai’s cultivation, he couldn’t help but feel apprehensive. For a moment, the Temple of Light was enveloped in silence.
After a while, Yan Shi asked with some difficulty: "Is there really no way to control Undead Creatures? If they’re truly immortal, then perhaps we can’t penetrate into the depths of the Death Mountain Range no matter what."
Ah Dai’s eyes lit up; without waiting for Audi to respond, he eagerly said: "There is a way. I can fly using Dou Qi in the air. As long as we can scout the interior of the Death Mountain Range from above, wouldn’t that work?"
Audi glanced at Ah Dai, shook his head, and said: "It’s not as simple as you think. At least half of the undead in the Death Mountain Range possess flying abilities. Although I haven’t seen the most powerful Undead Creature, those creatures might be ones even you can’t resist. It’s rumored that within the Death Mountain Range, the most powerful Undead Creature is a Bone Dragon, nearly a hundred meters in length. Imagine such a powerful creature, also with immortal abilities, how could that be dealt with? Even if there’s only one, you probably couldn’t eliminate it."
Ah Dai fell silent; indeed! Undead Creatures might also have flying abilities. Wasn’t the little bone within his Dragon’s Blood capable of flight even now? It’s merely over twenty meters in length yet already possesses such formidable abilities. A hundred-meter Bone Dragon? What kind of concept might that be?
