Chapter 29 First Encounter with the Undead Tide
The ancient capital is under martial law at night. As the taxi drives, you can see the towering city walls.
The taxi driver was a very good business man. Four passengers were packed into one car, and the car was full and headed to the city.
Xu Fang sat by the window and looked at the endless city walls like ridges outside, with a flash of shock in his eyes.
Sitting next to him was an old man wearing gold-rimmed glasses. Seeing his appearance, he asked, "First time here?"
"right."
Xu Fang sighed: "It's my first time to see such a huge Anjie. It's really spectacular."
"Of course, the outer wall of the ancient capital was built under the leadership of the Forbidden Curse Mage and in conjunction with many earth mages, including super-level mages!"
The old man said with some pride.
Seeing his expression, Xu Fang asked sensibly: "Is it possible, old sir, you also..."
"It's a small effort, it's not worth mentioning, it's not worth mentioning!" The old man said modestly, and the wrinkles on his face were piled up like blooming chrysanthemums.
Xu Fang's question scratched his itch.
The driver in front interjected: "I see, this is a sign of cowardice, and it will cower up and defend like a tortoise. If I were a big leader, I would gather all the mages and destroy the undead's lair directly, once and for all!"
The passengers rolled their eyes.
What kind of precious thing is this, talking about the Forbidden Curse Mage?
The old man also had a bad temper and didn't tolerate him at all. He scolded him directly: "You are really heartless! The country has tried its best to build a safe world for you, but have you done it wrong?"
The driver retorted: "No matter how good the repairs are, I still only have a few thousand yuan a month, and I can't afford a house... Besides, people can live well when there is no security!"
"Alive and well?"
The old man's beard was trembling: "Old man, let me tell you! Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, there were only 14 kilometers of inner city walls in the ancient capital to protect those who were rich and powerful. Ordinary people could only stay outside. I don't know what day it would be like this. Food for the dead!
Until the outer city wall is built, encompassing the entire ancient capital, and military mages patrol it every night, you can have a good sleep without having to worry about the undead coming to your doorstep at night! "
The driver stopped talking back, not because he was enlightened, but because all the passengers were glaring at him.
He even suspected that if he said a few more words, this group of people would join forces and beat him up...
There was silence in the taxi for a while. Only the city wall outside the window stood like a shield in front of the black clouds, like a giant dragon, protecting the people of this city.
Even though these people have become accustomed to it and even dislike complaining, they have been silently guarding it from beginning to end.
······
The undead were quite honest tonight, and the taxi arrived in the city without any hindrance.
The ancient capital is a quaint metropolis. It was no less prosperous than the Magic City, and it dazzled Xu Fang, a bumpkin who was used to living in Bo City.
I found an apartment hotel to stay in. Cholera of the Undead had caused the tourism industry in the ancient capital to drop a lot, so big hotels were cheap.
After putting his things away in the hotel, Xu Fang did not rest immediately. Instead, he came out alone and walked towards the nearest section of the outer city wall.
Starting from today, I will stay in this land of the dead for at least two years. I want to take a look in advance to be mentally prepared.
"What are you doing!" shouted a military mage.
"Hunter Mage of the Hunter Alliance!" Xu Fang took out the certificate named Zhang San and flashed it. The military mage glanced at it and waved his hand to let him go up the city wall.
Viewed from the inside, the outer city wall looks like a towering iron barrel, locking in the prosperity of the city.
But standing on the city wall is a completely different feeling.
The dark clouds seemed to be within reach, and the wind blowing in front of me was cold and cold, like a ghost blowing on the back of my neck, mixed with the smell of earth and carrion.
The local military mage has a more vivid way of saying it: the smell of death.
Before Xu Fang could take a closer look, suddenly, a ray of light flashed across the sky, and someone on the city wall shouted: "Everyone is ready————!"
From the tombs on the wasteland, hands broke out of the ground in horror, and then, abstract-looking undead crawled out, looking around with green eyes.
The next second.
Wow!
All the undead suddenly turned their heads towards the city wall, no longer stumbling in their movements, and actually rushed over at extremely fast speeds!
The black bodies look like a group of refugees running towards food from a distance.
But when they get closer and gather together densely, you can see the hanging carrion falling off piece by piece, and the black corpse oil contaminates the ground.
It turned into a rotting flood and crashed into the city wall in waves. Its ferocious face and hungry eyes made countless mages feel their scalps numb!
Although there are obviously no vocal cords, this black tide still sends out waves of terrifying death roars.
The fastest undead have already rushed under the city wall, trying to insert their palms into the wall.
Some of the strong ones also acted as human ladders, like Arhats, letting other undead step on them.
"attack!!!"
The on-site commander shouted angrily.
The next second, magic of different colors fell from the sky, bombing mercilessly, and only black blood spattered.
"Fluorescence, radiance, purification!"
Xu Fang held the star track in his hand, and a large ray of light swayed like a curtain. The constant temperature effect of the fluorescence made the undead attacked like ice and snow under the scorching sun, and the corpses used as human ladders could not be left behind.
"Hunter? Or a student?"
The military mage closest to Xu Fang noticed him, and was stunned when he saw Xu Fang's young face: "No matter, since we are here, let's kill the undead together and pay attention to the consumption of mana!"
Xu Fang nodded, raised his hand and another light shone.
Then came the third shot.
The fourth shot.
Gradually, everyone's eyes were drawn over, looking back and forth between Xu Fang, Xu Fang's brilliance, and the blank ground in front of Xu Fang.
I have 10,000 awesome words in my heart and I don’t know how to express them.
One-third of the mages standing on the walls of the ancient capital are light mages, and brilliance is their special skill.
But after seeing many brilliance, this group of people had never seen such a special brilliance.
Not only the range is frightening, but the power is also extremely powerful. Ordinary black carrion corpses are just like leeks in the field, being carried away by one stubble.
An undead like the Iron Corpse that was good at defense could not be killed by Xu Fang's shining light.
But what made everyone's eyes almost pop out was that the light did not dissipate naturally, but hung stubbornly on the iron corpse, eating away at its body bit by bit.
Several black rotting corpses around the iron corpse were just accidentally touched and were immediately decomposed by the residual light.
"So, so strong..."
A mage murmured.
Countless people had the same thoughts as him, and their hearts were in turmoil. At this moment, Xu Fang is the most handsome boy in the whole section of the city wall!
······
For those who go to bed early and soundly, the night is short.
But for the mages on the walls outside the ancient capital, this night was as long and difficult as ever.
Xu Fang had already come down from the city wall. Together with other mages, he received a lunch box from the steaming hot dining cart and found a random place to devour it.
"Is it enough? If it's not enough, add more." The military mage sitting next to him said enthusiastically: "Our military mage is subsidized by the state, and there are many types and we can still manage it."
"That's enough, thank you monitor." Xu Fang said.
The military mage smiled and said: "I saw your performance just now. The young man is very powerful!"
Xu Fang didn't know if he was simply praising himself or if he had other motives, so he responded by burying his head in eating.
"Then what... I see you like this, a high school student, right?" the military mage asked pretending to be casual.
"Start the second year of high school."
"How about sophomore year of high school!"
The military mage slapped his thigh suddenly, his eyes were frighteningly bright, and he took out his mobile phone: "Come on, let's add a friend!"
