Half a month later, Dongfang Fan received a second letter from the academy, which indicated the place and time of departure that day, Dongfang Fan left the sword smithy shop after explaining some things - during this time, the shop will be replaced by a black robe to replace the position of blacksmith, this strange ghost has not shown any malice during this time, but has mastered Dongfang Fan's sword-casting skills perfectly, and the sword branches he created are on par with Dongfang Fan's creation except for the lack of the law of the sword.

Dongfang Fan didn't bring anyone with him, and he only brought a soul conjuring sword with him, so it can be said that he traveled lightly.

The agreed location was the outer field of the southern district of the royal capital, and when Dongfang Fan arrived at the designated place, there were already sixteen people waiting: ten first-class students, one contracting mentor, and five summoners who had graduated.

"What an accident...... Dongfang Fan looked at a familiar face among the sixteen people, and was surprised in his heart.

"Hello, Mr. Dongfang, I am the contract mentor of this trip, my name is Dongfang Jade Painting, and I have tired Mr. Dongfang on this trip." The generous oriental jade painting is as smiling as a flower, still as pure and lovely as before, and the physical maturity only adds to the pure charm, and it is no wonder that the eight boys behind her have been staring at her.

"Jade painting, I haven't seen you for a long time, I will meet again in such a situation, but it is beyond my expectations......" Dongfang Fan knew that the other party would not know him, but he never intended to pretend not to know the other party.

"Humph! It's really an old-fashioned pick-up technique, and when I see our Oriental Jade Painting teacher, I want to get close to ......" One of the ten first-class students frowned and snorted coldly, and his voice was enough for everyone present to hear.

"Hehe, speaking of which, Yuhua does feel that Mr. has an inexplicable sense of familiarity, maybe he has met before." Dongfang Yuhua hurriedly made a statement, and the male student snorted coldly, and then didn't say anything more.

"For the sake of old disrespect, I teased my colleagues here early in the morning...... That's pretty much it, let's get down to business...... Regarding this exam, the academy has taken into account the possible dangers in the examination process, and has asked the five summoners to accompany us, hoping that you will realize that this time the action is far from being as easy as you imagined, even if we all die there, it is not a surprise......" Xu Promise, the leader of the five summoners, stood up and said with a serious face.

As soon as the promise said this, Dongfang Fan re-examined the sixteen people present: the ten first-class students are all the heirs of the powerful in the academy, the Dongfang family from which the Dongfang jade painting came also has considerable power in the imperial dynasty, and then there are the four summoners led by the promise, all of whom have just graduated from the previous class, if this operation is really as dangerous as the promise said, once the crisis comes, can the five people really be able to save the day with the promise?

"Where the hell are you going to do this time?" Dongfang Fan asked Xu Promise, but he had not received any news in this regard, thinking that it should have been announced by Xu Promise.

As soon as Xu Yu heard Dongfang Fan's words, his face changed significantly, showing a faint look of fear.

"I'll tell you." Wenwu, who was traveling with him, stepped forward and stood in front of Dongfang Fan and Dongfang Yu, at this time, the plane responsible for escorting the group to the destination descended, everyone got on the plane, sat together, and Wenwu continued to explain.

"This trip to a small village in Sichuan called 'Pingping', this village since the first half of last year began to appear at night dead people crawling out of the grave and wandering outside the village, at first, the villagers thought it was an illusion, later, the same thing more and more, some of the imperial soldiers stationed there also encountered many situations, when the soldiers chased down, no life was still ......."

When Wenwu said this, he paused, and all the students, both men and women, had gloomy faces, obviously frightened by what Wenwu said.

"Half a year ago, the four generals of the court, Liu Yan, Wan Wu, Tong Hu, and Zhang Man, were ordered to go to Pingping Village to investigate the matter, but the four generals have not heard from them for half a year since they set off, so this matter is taken as the content of this exam: find the four generals and bring them back, whether they live or die."

After Dongfang Fan listened, he fell into deep thought: this matter is not as simple as it seems on the surface, at least, the purpose of this trip is definitely not only to find General Siwei, in addition, the four people who disappeared cannot have accidents, and after knowing about this matter, he can't stay out of it.

"Is there any more detailed information? The academy shouldn't just say these basic things...... I'll tell you any more information. Dongfang Fan asked.

"Intelligence...... Have any of you ever heard of 'corpse chasers'? Wenwu smiled and asked with a somewhat cold stare at everyone.

Dongfang Fan did not have this knowledge, and most of the other students lacked this knowledge.

"In China a long time ago, it should have been a certain dynasty two or three thousand years ago, because of wars and cool officials, the people were struggling to survive, and dead bodies could be seen everywhere, and real corpses were everywhere...... As a result, in response to this bleak world, a profession that specialized in transporting corpses emerged as 'corpse chasers'. ”

"Corpse chasers usually carry corpses at night, at first, they only use pure human power to carry them, and later, some people use Miao Gu magic to activate the corpse, and use charms to manipulate the corpse, so that the corpse can move on its own...... At this point, the corpse chasers have matured and even formed sects. When Wenwu explained the corpse chaser, one by one he heard "the corpse acts on its own", and Han Mao suddenly stood up.

"What you said earlier was that the corpse crawled out of the grave, and the corpse chaser carried the corpse...... The two situations do not seem to coincide...... "The only one of those present in the East who can still think normally."

"The corpse chaser uses Gu to activate the corpse, and some of this activated corpse will be transformed after a hundred years, and form a special existence with a life span of four hundred years, this kind of existence is called 'zombie'."

"However, after the catastrophe of the strange ghosts, the law of the hundred-year corpse transformation was destroyed, resulting in a situation where the corpse can be transformed in two or three years, and the corpse corpse will transform into a zombie, and the zombie will leave the grave on its own and walk at night...... There should be some truth to this statement, right? Moreover...... The current corpse chasers are different from the past, in order to survive under the claws of the ghosts, the only thing the corpse chasers can use to fight the ghosts is the zombies, so the corpse chasers will use spells to collect the stronger part of the corpse for their own use, and the zombies that are seen by the villagers are mostly abandoned inferior goods, and with their ability, it is impossible to threaten Liu Yan and other four generals...... So, I guess the four generals must have something to do with the corpse chaser. After Wenwu finished speaking, everyone gradually came out of fear.

"There will be a night ...... It seems that we can only choose to go out at night to investigate...... Let's all take a break now. Dongfang Fan gave an order, and then fell asleep......

When everyone arrived at their destination, it was already noon—

Nestled in the mountains, the village is surrounded by countless bamboo forests, many of the buildings in the village are made of bamboo, and the imperial troops stationed here are all located a hundred miles southeast of the village, which happens to be the edge of the entire bamboo forest.

Dongfang Fan and his party of seventeen people landed at the place where the imperial dynasty was stationed, and after being recognized by the peers of the garrison soldiers, everyone entered the bamboo forest and marched in the direction of Pingping Village.

"For the sake of ease of movement, Mr. Dongfang and I each led five students into two groups, and then promised that in a group of five, the three groups should be able to speed up the progress, Mr. Dongfang? What do you think? Dongfang Yuhua suggested, and at this time, Dongfang Fan was thinking about it.

"Oh...... This is a good way to do it, as far as grouping is concerned...... The boys will form a team to act with you, and the girls will act with me......" Dongfang Fan replied.

"Oh? I just beat the idea of the jade painting teacher, and now I want to beat the idea of the female student again? The male student who had previously mocked Dongfang Fan spoke again.

"You're pretty much there! Don't be ashamed! There were also a few people from the swordsmanship classroom among the students, and the one who spoke at this time was Gao Yi, and at this time he pointed at the student who was insulting Dongfang Fan and scolded angrily.

"Okay, okay, you two don't quarrel, I believe that Mr. Dongfang must have a reason to make this suggestion, so do it, classmate Jin Zhe, don't say anything like that to Mr. Dongfang again." Dongfang Yu drew it to dissuade him, and the one named Jin Zhe was named, so he didn't say anything.

Everyone continued to move forward, and just as the evening was approaching, they rested twice and finally saw Pingping Village.

At this moment, there was movement from the left side of the crowd, and when they listened closely, it seemed to be the sound of shovels shoveling the soil, and everyone looked closer: they saw a middle-aged man wearing straw sandals, wearing a green cloth robe, a black belt around his waist, and a green cloth hat on his head, holding a shovel in his hand, struggling to dig a hole in the ground, and the most terrifying thing was that beside the man, there were three motionless "people" standing neatly, with their torn clothes, blackened skin, and a yellow paper drawing on their foreheads.

Those three "people" should be zombies, and the man should be a corpse chaser!

"Who?" The man suddenly stopped what he was doing and turned to drink.

"We are from the Tianyue Dynasty, you are the corpse chaser, right? We have something to ask you......" Jin Zhe stepped forward boldly, but unexpectedly, the man suddenly pulled out a peachwood sword from the burden beside him, and took out a piece of yellow paper from his arms and pointed it on the tip of the sword.

"Roaring ——!!"

The three zombies suddenly moved, and saw an inhuman beast roar from their throats, and flew towards Jin Zhe!

Dongfang Fan's eyes were certain, and the sword finger in his right hand circled the law of the sword, and with a slight lead, the peachwood sword in the hand of the corpse chaser flew into Dongfang Fan's palm-

"One, burn it......" Dongfang Fan took off the yellow paper on the peachwood sword and threw it into the air, the tall one behind Dongfang Yuhua heard Dongfang Fan's words, and immediately blew out a line of fire with his own fire law to burn the yellow paper, and at the same time, the action of the three zombies flying stopped abruptly, and Jin Zhe fell to the ground with his head in his hands and trembled while holding "help".

Dongfang Fan stepped forward with a wooden sword and returned the peachwood sword to the man.

"So, can we have a good chat?"
