The tunnel had nine twists and eighteen bends, and it was dark and silent. The footsteps of the remaining two people echoed in the tunnel, and the slightly mechanical footsteps not only failed to break the silence, but made people feel even more silent and depressing.

The more she walked, the more scared Wendy became. She first snuggled Li Qing tightly, hugged his arm with both hands, and finally hung almost the whole person on Li Qing.

Seeing this, Li Qing sighed secretly, patted her little hand holding her arm, and said softly, "Let's rest for a while." ”

Then he found a dry place and sat down with Wendy to rest.

When resting, Wendy simply snuggled into Li Qing's arms, and Li Qing did not refuse, and gently hugged her shoulders to give her a sense of security.

Smack!

Suddenly, the silence was shattered by the crisp sound of stones falling to the ground. Wendy, who was snuggled in Li Qing's arms, was frightened by this sudden strange noise, and her two hands couldn't help but grasp the placket of Li Qing's chest.

"What sound?" Wendy whispered, her voice trembling a little.

Li Qing didn't speak, condensed his perception, followed the prestige, and through the darkness with his powerful eyes, he saw several faint figures, swaying from one end of the tunnel.

"Anyone?" Li Qing's eyes narrowed slightly.

Wendy perked up when she heard this: "Is it Nottingham them?" ”

"Not really." Li Qing let go of the hands holding Wendy, slowly stood up, drew a two-handed big sword, and said slowly: "Nottingham, they are huge, especially Qili, the Minotaur can be seen at a glance. Those figures don't have that kind of big guys......"

"Not Nottingham them?" Wendy also became nervous, quickly got up, swallowed hard, put the staff across her chest, and said, "Who is that?" Some kind of humanoid monster? ”

When she said this, her tone was normal, and there was even a hint of excitement, a far cry from the way she had shivered from the darkness and silence she had shivered before—as an adventurer, she might have feared the dark and dead silence of claustrophobia, but she was not afraid of humanoid monsters.

In her opinion, Ruo Zhen really came a few humanoid monsters, just used to bombard and kill, in order to vent the panic that had accumulated before.

"Humanoid ......" Li Qing frowned, his perception was condensed in his eyes, and his pupils kept expanding, hoping to see the few swaying figures more clearly. It's humanoid, but it's too far away and not well lit, so I can't tell what kind of monster it is......"

As soon as he said this, the eyes of the front of the figures suddenly lit up with two bits of miserable green, which looked like flickering fire.

"This is ......" Li Qing's heart moved, and he felt that kind of miserable green light was very familiar: "It seems that I have seen it somewhere...... By the way, isn't this what the soul fire in the eye sockets of the skeleton soldiers in the undead army under Su Su looks like? The ones in front of you, are they the undead? ”

In the case of the undead, although they are not afraid of death, as long as there is no one to command, and there is no numerical superiority, there is nothing to fear.

In particular, skeleton undead, although they have great strength and high agility, their fragile structure is brittle. A low-level skeleton soldier who has just been transformed into an undead, even if it is just an ordinary person, as long as he is brave enough, can win one-on-one.

Of course, high-level skeleton soldiers who have been in existence long enough are as strong as steel, infinitely powerful, and agile as the wind, and even if they don't have any special skills, they are extremely difficult to deal with. Like those skeleton soldiers in the Susu Undead Legion, after being tempered by several major battles and growing up in the half-plane, they can basically be regarded as high-level skeleton soldiers.

With a skeleton like this, ordinary low- and mid-level warriors may not be able to win one-on-one. However, this type of skeleton soldier is extremely rare under normal circumstances, and it is usually the elite of the necromancer's pressure at the bottom of the box. Among naturally spawned skeleton undead, there are very few high-level skeleton soldiers.

"Probably the undead." Li Qing said his judgment: "The one at the front should be a skeleton." The ...... in the back "As those figures got closer and closer, Li Qing also saw more and more clearly: "It seems that they are all zombie ......"

Zombies are more durable and powerful than the undead, but they are unresponsive and clumsy, and they are not too difficult monsters to deal with. Even high-level zombies are only suitable for serving as meat shields like heavy plate armor warriors, and are naturally vulnerable to frontal battlefields, but in small-scale engagements, they can easily be kited to death by highly sensitive professionals.

"Undead? A skeleton and how many zombies? Wendy poked out her little head from behind Li Qing, and her panic was swept away, and her eyes were full of eagerness: "It turns out that it's just this kind of low-level monster, and just now you dared to sneakily make a move to scare me...... Eat my big fireball! ”

As she spoke, she pointed her staff, and a fireball flew out.

Wendy released this time just an ordinary fireball technique, not the kind of super fireball that is as powerful as a howitzer - to be honest, a few low-level skeletons and zombies are not eligible to enjoy the bombardment of super fireballs.

But even an ordinary fireball technique, as soon as it went down, it lightly blasted those undead monsters into pieces.

"It's just a few ordinary undead monsters, who dare to scare me so much." Wendy stuck out her tongue and said to Li Qing, "I'm not afraid of the undead, I'm just a little afraid of the dark." ”

"I know." Li Qing smiled, then looked at the broken bones that were still slowly burning, and said softly with a slightly solemn expression: "But I'm afraid that in this underground tunnel, there are not only these few little undead......

A small number of low-level undead, even a few high-level undead, is not terrifying. However, once the undead have a numerical superiority and are commanded by high-level undead with intelligence, then in the narrow terrain of underground tunnels, which lacks room for manoeuvre, it is really possible to bring great trouble.

Even if Li Qing was surrounded by thousands of undead, he would be surrounded and killed by ants gnawing like elephants without recovering the "Super Nightmare Demon Body".

"There shouldn't be a lot of undead, right?" Wendy said, "These undead ...... Well, it should be an adventurer who came here to explore the Mage Tower, accidentally hit the trap, and after death, he was eroded by negative energy and became an undead......"

"I can't say for sure." Li Qing frowned slightly, and his expression was slightly solemn: "With the environment we are in now, no matter what happens, I will not be surprised." ”

Wendy laughed dryly: "The worst-case scenario is that there are one or two high-level undead such as banshees and death knights, there is no way there will be a lich, right?" ”

As soon as the beautiful girl magician's voice fell, in the deep tunnel ahead, a skull floating in the air emerged from the darkness and jumped into the eyes of the two.

The skull's eye sockets shimmered with a cold scarlet light. The bones are covered with gold leaf, and the gums are inlaid with gemstones of various colors molded into the shape of teeth, each of which exudes terrifying magical fluctuations.

"Lich!" Wendy's eyes widened.

Although there was only one skull floating in the air, the gorgeous skull full of nouveau riche atmosphere was undoubtedly a lich.

"Unexpectedly......" Li Qing's expression became extremely solemn: "Wendy, you actually have the talent of crow's mouth!" ”

Wendy grinned and smiled bitterly, "People just said it casually, how do you know that luck is so bad...... What now? ”

The weakest of all lichs is also a legendary spellcaster. There are not a few demigod-level strong lichs. With Wendy's pitiful spell-casting ability, even if she has a lot of money and treasures and scrolls, she can't beat a true legendary mage.

And Li Qing ...... The real world is not an online game, and there is never a zài balance. A battle class of the same level is basically impossible to be an opponent of a caster of the same level. Even if Li Qing is not a pure combat position, but a nightmare knight who can slaughter gods after being promoted to a legend, he is not yet a legend yet.

On top of that, he's not in great shape right now. Although his regular combat power is intact, the "Nightmare Super Demon Body" transformation that can give him a battle with the Legend has already been used up when he opened the first secret passage gate, and he is now in the skill cooldown time, so he cannot perform the Nightmare Super Demon Body transformation.

Without the Nightmare Super Demon Body, which was three times more powerful in all attributes, even if Li Qing was already a high-level combat rank of the sixteenth, he would never want to compete with a lich - the most disgusting thing about the lich, except for the powerful necromancy, was its immortal attribute. If you don't destroy the Lich's lifebox, you won't be able to kill the skeleton even if you crush it to slag.

Therefore, the current situation is really terrible, Rao is Li Qing has experienced a hundred battles, and there is nothing to be done for a while, so he can only maintain a vigilant posture, motionless and confronting the gorgeous skull floating in the air, while his brain is running rapidly, thinking about how to deal with it.

Just when Wendy was frightened and Li Qing was thinking hard about what to do, the gorgeous skull floating in the air suddenly made a laughing expression - the upper and lower rows of gums opened suddenly, revealing black mouth holes, which really looked a little scary. With the dark crypt environment at the moment, it feels like a horror movie scene.

The gorgeous skeleton's inexplicable laughter made Li Qing and Wendy stunned for a moment. Just as he was wondering what the skeleton wanted to do, he saw the gorgeous skeleton swish, and suddenly flew back into the deep darkness behind him, disappearing without a trace.

Li Qing and Wendy, who were nervous, were stunned.

"Uh......" Wendy stared blankly at the direction where the gorgeous skull disappeared, and was stunned for a while, before turning her head to look at Li Qing, blinking her eyes and whispering, "I seemed to have hallucinated just now, and I actually felt like I saw a lich!" ”

Li Qingne said: "I also saw it." ”

Wendy blinked again and whispered, "Are you hallucinating too?" She touched her chin, frowned, and said sternly, "If you have the same hallucination, then the truth is very simple. In this underground tunnel, there is supposed to be some kind of hallucinogenic substance that interferes with our perception, so much so that we hallucinate at the same time......"

Li Qing twitched the corners of his mouth and muttered, "Do you think that's an illusion?" ”

"It's definitely a hallucination!" Wendy said categorically, "How can there be a lich! That's a legendary-level spellcaster, and it's not a radish in the ground, how can it be so easy to say that you can see it? Besides, if it weren't for the illusion, how could a dignified lich run away in front of us? With the two of us, we must be arrested and transformed into high-level undead! So the truth is, there are no lichs at all! All we see are hallucinations! ”

Li Qing couldn't laugh or cry.

It's clear that Wendy is unwilling to accept reality and is trying to fool herself.

But then again, Wendy is a teenage girl after all, and no matter how crazy and adventurous she is, she can't be as tough as a battle-hardened warrior - in fact, even a warrior who has survived a hundred battles can't help but despair when she encounters a terrible monster like the Lich.

Even Li Qing's heart was a little hairy.

His biggest hole card, the Nightmare Super Demon Body, has been used up, and although the regular combat power remains intact, it is still far from enough to face a legendary-level spellcaster like the Lich.

It's just that he has experienced too much and has seen a lot of strong people, so he won't rely on self-deception to keep hope like Wendy.

"Whatever the lich means, whether it's a cat or a mouse, or a conspiracy, we must all do our best to find a way out." Li Qing's expression was solemn and said, "I have a bad premonition......

As soon as these words came out, Wendy looked at Li Qing with a look of fear and said in a trembling voice: "You, how can you say such a thing?" ”

"What?" Li Qing was inexplicably surprised.

"Bad premonition...... Something, how can such words be said casually? Wendy's face turned pale with infinite fear: "Whether it's a chivalric novel or an adventure novel, or a long bard's legendary poem...... All the characters in it who say this kind of thing basically die after a short time! So a bad premonition or something, it's a forbidden sentence, a forbidden sentence! ”

"......" Li Qing blinked, stared at Wendy in a daze, and was speechless for a while.

After a long time, he shrugged his shoulders and said, "But the question is, whether I say that or not, we have already encountered the lich first, right?" It can't be a good thing to meet a lich, right? ”

"Encounter with a lich? No, you're wrong, dear Tony, we didn't meet the Lich, we just had a collective hallucination! Wendy continues to make a fool of herself.

“…… Well, it's an illusion. Li Qing sighed helplessly and said, "But no matter what, let's get out of here first and go to Nottingham and them." This place is a little too eerie......"

As he spoke, suddenly, a hurried sound of horses' hooves sounded.

Well?

The sound of horses' hooves?

Li Qing and Wendy turned their heads in disbelief and looked in the direction where the sound of horses' hooves was coming from.

That's exactly where the Lich Skull and a few low-level undead appeared.

And now, Li Qing and Wendy have seen another undead.

Seeing this, the faces of the two changed suddenly.

It was a death knight on a skeletal warhorse. The knight's body was covered in a layer of swarthy armor, which seemed to be made of black iron and condensed with dead air. The face was like a skeleton, only a layer of black dead skin, and the crimson soul flame burned in the eye sockets, and when the soul fire beat, it revealed an aura of endless resentment and jealousy towards the living.

Although the Death Knight is a high-level undead, it is far less terrifying than the Lich. A mere death knight, of course, it is impossible to make Li Qing, who had just fought with the lich, face change drastically.

What really made Li Qing and Wendy change color at the same time was the large group of undead who appeared with the death knight!

High-level zombies with scorched and withered skin, muscles like iron, and a bronze hue all over their bodies.

The bones are bright silver, smooth and delicate, like high-end skeletons made of sterling silver, and the eye sockets are pure and green.

A dry bone warlock holding a white bone staff, wearing a tattered black robe, and exuding a negative energy aura all over his body.

A ghost with a translucent body, the upper body is like a human, and the lower body is like smoke......

More than a hundred high-level undead of all kinds, followed by countless tides of undead, blocked the wide underground tunnel tightly, and under the leadership of the death knight, the tide rushed towards Li Qing and Wendy.

"The army of necromancers......" Li Qingtie blushed, swallowed his saliva hard, and suddenly pushed Wendy, who was stunned, "What are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and run!" ”

Wendy was full of excitement, lifted the corner of her skirt and turned to run.

Li Qing didn't run, holding the big sword with both hands in his backhand, and a "group of dragons without a leader" slashed at the leading death knight, and eighteen sword lights were like eighteen silver dragons, pounced on the death knight in the piercing sound of breaking the air.

While raising his sword to slash the death knight in the air, Li Qing did not forget to remind Wendy: "Little girl, don't run, cast spells faster!" ”

Wendy was indeed panicked, and forgot to cast spells on herself to speed up when she ran. Without spell assistance, with her as a short-legged little mage, how fast can she go?

Hearing Li Qing's reminder, she woke up like a dream, and hurriedly cast lightweight and accelerated spells such as "Light Body Technique", "Speed Technique", and "Cat Elegance" on herself one by one. After that, he ran as fast as a classmate, Ling Bo micro-steps.

Wendy ran dozens of meters away in the blink of an eye, and Li Qing also exchanged hands with the death knight.

Eighteen silver sword lights snaked and shot out, and where the sword light passed, the fierce wind plowed the tunnel floor into deep ravines.

Seeing the sword light approaching, the soul fire flashed in the scarlet eye socket of the death knight, and he suddenly raised a black big sword. The body of the big sword was shrouded in black mist, and the red light of the blade flickered, but it was not an entity, but some kind of evil energy condensed.

The Death Knight swept with a sword, and where the big sword passed, the black mist surged, and the red light burst out, colliding with the leaderless eighteen sword lights of the dragons in the blink of an eye.

With a loud bang, the sword light was extinguished, and the big sword collapsed. The strong seismic wave spread in all directions, shaking the tunnel floor to the point of jumping, and countless dust fell on the top. The remnants of the energy soared, beating the ground and the tunnel walls into a thousand holes, and rubble flew sideways.

Although the death knight blocked Li Qing's sword move, the momentum of the charge was also stopped. Li Qing took advantage of the situation to retreat and ran away after Wendy.

Watching Li Qing run away, the death knight's eyes flashed with soul fire, stretched out his hand and pointed at Li Qing's back, drove the skeleton war horse, and chased after him with the army of necromancers who filled the tunnel.

"Those undead were summoned by the lich, right?" Now, Wendy can't make a fool of herself anymore. While running, he cried and said with a sad little face: "How can we be so unlucky! I actually ran into a lich, or a lich with a large number of high-level undead under his command......"

"Exploring the ancient ruins underground, wouldn't it be too bad to run into an undead lich or something?" Li Qing was bitter: "It's better than encountering monsters such as eye demons, shadow dragons, and soul sucking monsters." Besides, it's not normal for the lich to not have a large number of undead, right? ”

"What should I do?" Wendy said with a bitter face: "I don't want to be caught by the undead, don't be transformed into an undead!" ”

"Don't be afraid, we're actually lucky." Li Qing comforted: "In this kind of underground tunnel, even if the undead have an absolute advantage in numbers, they can't take us around, they can only chase after us. After all, there is only one way, and no matter how many undead there are, they can't be expanded. So as long as we keep running faster than the undead, we are not afraid of being caught by them. ”

"But the undead won't be tired, we'll be tired! My support spells aren't endless either...... Besides, there's a lich! Even if we can outrun the undead legions under the Lich, we can't outrun the Lich! By the way, Tony, what exactly do you think the lich is up to? Why doesn't it take it upon us personally, but instead sends these undead out? Isn't it trying to play a game of cat and mouse? ”

"Wendy, don't think about it and concentrate on running. Anyway, I won't let the undead catch you, I promise. So you don't have to worry about getting caught by the undead or the lich and becoming an undead. ”

Wendy was moved: "Tony, you're going to protect me, aren't you?" When she spoke, her eyes sparkled, like a little princess who was expecting Prince Charming's protection.

But Li Qing made a very bad joke: "Of course I will do my best to protect you." However, my current state is not perfect, so when it is really impossible to do anything, I promise to kill you, first liberate your soul, and then completely destroy your body to prevent the undead from being desecrated. Blasphemy you. Don't worry, I'm familiar with this job, and I'll make sure the undead won't get even a little bone from you. ”

"......" Wendy's little face fell, "Then I won't be happy at all......"

"Hehe, just kidding." Li Qing's expression was solemn: "Don't worry, as long as I don't die, the undead will never be able to catch you." ”

He didn't say this to slap a swollen face and become fat.

His current state is indeed not perfect, without the Nightmare Super Demon Body, he can't fight against the Lich, and he can't withstand the endless army of the undead.

But don't forget, in the power seed in his heart, there is the other half of Su Su's soul sleeping. In case it really comes to life and death, the dark queen who is much more mature than Lori Susu in reality will never stand idly by.

If she had met other legendary mages, it would have been difficult for the Dark Queen to appear in reality, and she had never been seen to do anything that affected reality. But this time I encountered a lich.

What the Lich does best is manipulating death and playing with souls. Once the lich himself came down and habitually touched Li Qing's soul, it would be a lot of fun, and it would definitely wake up the sleeping Queen of Darkness.

No matter how much the Lich is a master of playing with souls, it is impossible for him to confront the Queen of Darkness in the realm of souls.

So Li Qing doesn't think that the current situation is a desperate situation, how to say that he also has a background. With the Queen of Darkness in charge, even the Calamity Monarch was unable to devour Li Qing's soul at the beginning, and it was even more impossible for a mere lich to cause any harm to Li Qing in the field he was best at.

However, Li Qingneng guarantees that his soul will not be eroded by the lich, but he cannot guarantee the safety of Wendy's soul. So for now, he still has to run as far as he can, delaying time until his Mewnightmare demon body recovers.

As long as the Nightmare Demon is restored and surrounded by the army of the undead, even if the Lich himself ends, he will not be afraid and will be able to protect Wendy from danger.

The two of them flew all the way, and the undead legion was in hot pursuit, led by the death knights and hundreds of high-ranking undead.

From time to time, one or two spells such as negative energy rays and white bone spears shot over, but they did not pose a threat to Li Qing and Wendy.

After running for about half an hour, a three-way crossing suddenly appeared in front of the tunnel.

Looking at the three forks, Wendy asked urgently, "Which way to run?" ”

"Just pick a ......" As he was saying, Li Qing habitually swept towards the three forks with his perception, but from the tunnels on the left and right, he sensed the cold death energy, and his face suddenly changed: "Go to the middle!" ”

As he was talking, he saw that in the tunnels on the left and right, two points of scarlet soul fire were ignited, as well as a green and green phosphorus fire.

There are two teams of undead again!

The two teams of undead were led by a death knight riding a skeletal war horse, followed by a large number of undead, rushing from the tunnels on the left and right sides to block Li Qing and Wendy head-on.

Only the tunnel in the middle, there is no breath of death energy. But Li Qing didn't dare to guarantee that there would be no undead in the tunnel in the middle.

But the matter has come to this point, and if you don't want to be surrounded by front and back, you can only choose the middle.

Before the undead in the left and right tunnels rushed out of the three forks, Li Qing and Wendy rushed into the middle tunnel as fast as they could.

As soon as the two entered the tunnel, the undead legion in the left and right tunnels poured out, merged with the undead legion behind them, and chased the Ouroboros into the middle tunnel.

At this moment, following Li Qing and Wendy, there were three death knights, nearly three hundred high-level undead of all kinds, and thousands of middle and low-level undead.

However, as Li Qing said before, in the underground tunnel, the number is actually not very meaningful. As long as they are not blocked from the front and rear, no matter how many enemies there are, they can only chase after them.

Of course, it's not a way to keep running like this. The undead will not get tired, and whether it is Li Qing's body or Wendy's spells, they are all limited. If they keep running, even if they won't be caught up by the army of the undead for a while, Li Qing and Wendy will sooner or later run out of bodies and spells, and they will be exhausted and dragged to death by the undead, and they won't be able to survive Li Qing's "Super Nightmare Demon Body" recovery at all.

"It's not endless!" Glancing back at the undead army in hot pursuit, Li Qinggu couldn't afford to spare a limited number of extraordinary skills, and made a backhand move without a leader, arousing the sword qi in the sky, and twisting it on the roof of the tunnel behind him.

The indestructible sword light sliced through the roof of the tunnel like tofu, cutting down countless rubble. Tons of rocks, large and small, fell from the top of the tunnel, blocking a section of the tunnel behind them in an instant.

Seeing this, Wendy's eyes lit up, and her staff pointed back, sending out a super fireball that hit the top of the tunnel. The roof of the tunnel was shattered by her massive fireball, which was comparable to a large-caliber howitzer, and tons of stones fell, blocking a long stretch of tunnel.

"Haha, look how you chase!" Wendy stopped and threw her fist excitedly at the blocked tunnel behind her.

Li Qingyi pulled Wendy: "Don't stop, keep running!" ”

Wendy was stunned: "Still running?" The tunnels are blocked! ”

"Although the tunnel is blocked, it can't stop the spirit-type undead!" Li Qing pulled Wendy and kept walking: "Besides, there are more than two hundred high-level undead chasing us, even if they are physical undead, they will only be blocked for half an hour at most, and they will soon be able to reopen the road!" ”

Wendy looked back and saw dozens of ghosts emerging from the blocked tunnel, continuing to follow the two. The blocked end also quickly came with the sound of banging and cracking.

Seeing that the situation was as Li Qing said, Wendy stuck out her tongue in embarrassment, added oil to the soles of her feet, and ran to her feet.

Without the army of undead on their side, those dozens of ghosts didn't dare to get too close - although the ghosts didn't eat physical damage, whether it was Li Qing's sword qi or Wendy's spells, they could inflict severe damage on them. Without the cover of the physical undead, they did not dare to attack Li Qing and Wendy alone, and only hung far behind them.

In fact, among the dozens of ghosts, there was a high-level banshee whose spirit body was already close to the substance. If Li Qing and Wendy are attacked regardless of losses, under the leadership of that high-level banshee, Li Qing and the others have little chance of winning, and they are even very likely to be killed.

Of course, both Li Qing and Wendy have hole cards. But the undead don't know, at least on the bright side, a banshee with dozens of ghosts, killing a high-level warrior with few extraordinary skills, a small mage who is not strong in spell-casting ability, is not a big problem.

But what is strange is that they didn't move, just hung the two of them unhurriedly. Such behavior is undoubtedly inconsistent with the undead's fierce and fearless style of death.

"It's weird, at the speed of a ghost, it's easy to catch up with us, right?" Even Wendy, an adventurous rookie, felt a little weird: "Why don't they catch up?" ”

"I don't know what they're thinking." Li Qing frowned and said, "But the actions of those ghosts are really strange, and they don't look like they want to catch up with us and kill us." ”

Wendy's little face turned pale: "Could it be that the lich really wants to capture us alive?" Playing with our souls? Make us undead? ”

"It's possible." Li Qingdao: "But I feel as if they are just driving us away. ”

"Expelled?"

"That's right."

"Well, did we strayed into the Lich's territory, so the Lich sent out his men to banish us? But there's no need to make such a big scene, right? Thousands of undead! Besides, if you want to expel us, just now when the lich didn't leave, he said to us, 'Get out', and we'll just get out of here, right? Limbo ran as fast as he could.

Wendy ran dozens of meters away in the blink of an eye, and Li Qing also exchanged hands with the death knight.

Eighteen silver sword lights snaked and shot out, and where the sword light passed, the fierce wind plowed the tunnel floor into deep ravines.

Seeing the sword light approaching, the soul fire flashed in the scarlet eye socket of the death knight, and he suddenly raised a black big sword. The body of the big sword was shrouded in black mist, and the red light of the blade flickered, but it was not an entity, but some kind of evil energy condensed.

The Death Knight swept with a sword, and where the big sword passed, the black mist surged, and the red light burst out, colliding with the leaderless eighteen sword lights of the dragons in the blink of an eye.

"......" Wendy's little face fell, "Then I won't be happy at all......"

So Li Qing doesn't think that the current situation is a desperate situation, how to say that he also has a background. With the Queen of Darkness in charge, even the Calamity Monarch was unable to devour Li Qing's soul at the beginning, and it was even more impossible for a mere lich to cause any harm to Li Qing in the field he was best at.

However, Li Qingneng guarantees that his soul will not be eroded by the lich, but he cannot guarantee the safety of Wendy's soul. So for now, he still has to run as far as he can, delaying time until his Mewnightmare demon body recovers.

As long as the Nightmare Demon is restored and surrounded by the army of the undead, even if the Lich himself ends, he will not be afraid and will be able to protect Wendy from danger.

The two of them flew all the way, and the undead legion was in hot pursuit, led by the death knights and hundreds of high-ranking undead.

From time to time, one or two spells such as negative energy rays and white bone spears shot over, but they did not pose a threat to Li Qing and Wendy.

After running for about half an hour, a three-way crossing suddenly appeared in front of the tunnel.

Looking at the three forks, Wendy asked urgently, "Which way to run?" ”

"Just pick a ......" As he was saying, Li Qing habitually swept towards the three forks with his perception, but from the tunnels on the left and right, he sensed the cold death energy, and his face suddenly changed: "Go to the middle!" ”

As he was talking, he saw that in the tunnels on the left and right, two points of scarlet soul fire were ignited, as well as a green and green phosphorus fire.

There are two teams of undead again!

The two teams of undead were led by a death knight riding a skeletal war horse, followed by a large number of undead, rushing from the tunnels on the left and right sides to block Li Qing and Wendy head-on.

Only the tunnel in the middle, there is no breath of death energy. But Li Qing didn't dare to guarantee that there would be no undead in the tunnel in the middle.

But the matter has come to this point, and if you don't want to be surrounded by front and back, you can only choose the middle.

Before the undead in the left and right tunnels rushed out of the three forks, Li Qing and Wendy rushed into the middle tunnel as fast as they could.

As soon as the two entered the tunnel, the undead legion in the left and right tunnels poured out, merged with the undead legion behind them, and chased the Ouroboros into the middle tunnel.

At this moment, following Li Qing and Wendy, there were three death knights, nearly three hundred high-level undead of all kinds, and thousands of middle and low-level undead.

However, as Li Qing said before, in the underground tunnel, the number is actually not very meaningful. As long as they are not blocked from the front and rear, no matter how many enemies there are, they can only chase after them.

Of course, it's not a way to keep running like this. The undead will not get tired, and whether it is Li Qing's body or Wendy's spells, they are all limited. If they keep running, even if they won't be caught up by the army of the undead for a while, Li Qing and Wendy will sooner or later run out of bodies and spells, and they will be exhausted and dragged to death by the undead, and they won't be able to survive Li Qing's "Super Nightmare Demon Body" recovery at all.

"It's not endless!" Glancing back at the undead army in hot pursuit, Li Qinggu couldn't afford to spare a limited number of extraordinary skills, and made a backhand move without a leader, arousing the sword qi in the sky, and twisting it on the roof of the tunnel behind him.

The indestructible sword light sliced through the roof of the tunnel like tofu, cutting down countless rubble. Tons of rocks, large and small, fell from the top of the tunnel, blocking a section of the tunnel behind them in an instant.

Seeing this, Wendy's eyes lit up, and her staff pointed back, sending out a super fireball that hit the top of the tunnel. The roof of the tunnel was shattered by her massive fireball, which was comparable to a large-caliber howitzer, and tons of stones fell, blocking a long stretch of tunnel.

"Haha, look how you chase!" Wendy stopped and threw her fist excitedly at the blocked tunnel behind her.

Li Qingyi pulled Wendy: "Don't stop, keep running!" ”

Wendy was stunned: "Still running?" The tunnels are blocked! ”

"Although the tunnel is blocked, it can't stop the spirit-type undead!" Li Qing pulled Wendy and kept walking: "Besides, there are more than two hundred high-level undead chasing us, even if they are physical undead, they will only be blocked for half an hour at most, and they will soon be able to reopen the road!" ”

Wendy looked back and saw dozens of ghosts emerging from the blocked tunnel, continuing to follow the two. The blocked end also quickly came with the sound of banging and cracking.

Seeing that the situation was as Li Qing said, Wendy stuck out her tongue in embarrassment, added oil to the soles of her feet, and ran to her feet.

Without the army of undead on their side, those dozens of ghosts didn't dare to get too close - although the ghosts didn't eat physical damage, whether it was Li Qing's sword qi or Wendy's spells, they could inflict severe damage on them. Without the cover of the physical undead, they did not dare to attack Li Qing and Wendy alone, and only hung far behind them.

In fact, among the dozens of ghosts, there was a high-level banshee whose spirit body was already close to the substance. If Li Qing and Wendy are attacked regardless of losses, under the leadership of that high-level banshee, Li Qing and the others have little chance of winning, and they are even very likely to be killed.

Of course, both Li Qing and Wendy have hole cards. But the undead don't know, at least on the bright side, a banshee with dozens of ghosts, killing a high-level warrior with few extraordinary skills, a small mage who is not strong in spell-casting ability, is not a big problem.

But what is strange is that they didn't move, just hung the two of them unhurriedly. Such behavior is undoubtedly inconsistent with the undead's fierce and fearless style of death.

"It's weird, at the speed of a ghost, it's easy to catch up with us, right?" Even Wendy, an adventurous rookie, felt a little weird: "Why don't they catch up?" ”

"I don't know what they're thinking." Li Qing frowned and said, "But the actions of those ghosts are really strange, and they don't look like they want to catch up with us and kill us." ”

Wendy's little face turned pale: "Could it be that the lich really wants to capture us alive?" Playing with our souls? Make us undead? ”

"It's possible." Li Qingdao: "But I feel as if they are just driving us away. ”

"Expelled?"

"That's right."

"Well, did we strayed into the Lich's territory, so the Lich sent out his men to banish us? But there's no need to make such a big scene, right? Thousands of undead! Besides, if you want to expel us, just now when the lich didn't leave, he said to us, 'Get out', and we'll just get out of here, right? ”
