Chapter 125: Underground Ruins
Following Savos's arrangement, Li Mu lived in the teacher's dormitory as a faculty member of Wintercastle College. In addition to doing a good job as a school doctor every day, it is to learn and absorb the knowledge of various subjects of Dongmbold College.
The Tamarel Continent is not as technologically advanced as the real world, and although it has the help of witchcraft, it is only a few people who can use it. Most people work and live purely by physical strength, so people on this continent are very healthy and basically do not get sick.
Therefore, all the people who came to Li Mu for medical treatment were traumatized, either cut by farm tools while farming, or attacked by tigers, leopards and jackals, and the most serious thing was a broken arm and leg.
However, under the means of Li Mu, a top surgeon, all problems are not a problem. However, compared to the smooth work, Li Mu encountered obstacles in his witchcraft learning.
No matter how devout Li Mu was and how standard his incantations were, he couldn't perform any kind of witchcraft. This is such a strange thing, and Dean Savos can't understand it, although he is a deep knowledge of witchcraft, he is not good at helping students solve problems.
At the recommendation of Dean Savos, Li Mu joined the expedition team in front of him. Because the leading teacher, Tolf, as the senior director of the college, is an explorer himself, well-informed, and the best at solving students' difficulties.
Tolf was also in his forties, dressed in the uniform of a college teacher. Under the cover of the hood, although Li Mu couldn't see the whole picture of the other party clearly, but under the observation of the Qi Hope Technique, this Torf, like Falauda, was surrounded by a thick blood-colored mist, and it was definitely not as kind as it could be seen on the surface.
While Li Mu was looking at Tolf, Torf, the wizard instructor of the protection department, was also observing Li Mu. The expedition was led by an old Imperial classmate and supervised by a dozen or so Imperial soldiers around him. Protecting two beloved students is a bit lacking, not to mention having to take care of Li Mu, who doesn't know anything witchcraft.
Although he was not satisfied with Savos's arrangement, now that the wood was ready, Tolff had no choice but to let Li Mu follow his two students closely and not get lost in the damp and dark hole.
Neither of Tolf's two students looked like humans, one with a tiger's head, and was actually a rare half-orc. Most of the orcs don't have a high IQ, but they didn't expect that the tiger man in front of them could actually learn witchcraft, and even entered the Winter Castle Academy for further study.
The other is a dark elf with grayish skin, and although they have a common ancestor with the Somer elves who think they are superior, they have long since become two races, and they don't look down on each other.
Although Li Mu is a school doctor and has countless living people, in the Winter Castle Academy, only those who have mastered witchcraft can be superior, and no matter how high the other achievements are, they have no status after all. Tolf was dissatisfied with Li Mu, and the tiger man Zag naturally saw it in his eyes, and his eyes seemed to be on the top of his head, and he ignored Li Mu.
On the contrary, it was the dark elf, Brilina of the Mayo family, who was quite friendly to Li Mu, and told Li Mu that it was best to follow her in case Li Mu encountered danger.
Li Mu has experienced a lot of battles in the mission world, how can he tolerate a little girl to protect himself. Although he doesn't know witchcraft, Li Mu has not been idle these days, making a large number of alchemy potions in case of emergency.
Under the observation of Yin and Yang Eyes, Li Mu had already noticed that there was a lot of dark energy surging around the crypt, and immediately walked to Torff's side and said, "Teacher, tell everyone to stop, I found that there seem to be three ghouls ambushing at the turn of the intersection in front of me, we have to be careful." ”
Without waiting for Tolff to speak, Zag, the tiger man who was unhappy with Li Mu, immediately couldn't hold it back, brandished a big axe and mocked: "How do you know? Those who don't know how to witchcraft should not come out and be embarrassed. Ghouls? Even if there's this kind of garbage in front of me, I'll be able to clean it up by myself. ”
Unlike Zag's rudeness, although Tolf was dissatisfied with Li Mu in his heart, he was still shocked by Li Mu's vigilance after a lot of experience. Li Mu obviously didn't know how to perceive death, and he was able to detect dark creatures early, which made Tolf a little impressed by Li Mu.
With a silent face, he told the tiger man Zag to shut up, and Tolf cast a protective circle to protect Li Mu and his two students, and then let the soldiers of the empire go to explore the way.
Sure enough, as Li Mu expected, as soon as the heavily armed soldiers walked over, the ghouls lying on the ground stood up and rushed towards everyone.
The ghouls in front of him are wrapped in strips of rags, which are like mummies of the real world, and the three ghouls are armed with various weapons to kill the Imperial soldiers.
In this small space, the three ghouls were invulnerable and painless, and rushed into the soldiers who could not be used to kill in all directions, causing more than half of the Imperial soldiers to be killed and wounded at once.
These undead monsters, ordinary physical attacks are not effective at all, even if the head is pierced, these ghouls can still move at will. What's even more terrifying is that anyone who is close to the ghoul will be contaminated with corpse poison, causing the poisoner to be dizzy and slow to move.
Looking at the movement here, it seemed to alarm the entire underground cavern, and new ghouls were constantly emerging from various forks in the road around him, and Li Mu saw that Tolff and the others had only summoned some elemental spirits to fight the ghouls.
Li Mu couldn't wait any longer, and cast Lingbo micro-steps under his feet, interspersing back and forth among the army of imperial soldiers and ghouls. The thirteen needles of the Ghost Gate were carrying righteous qi and pierced the central nervous system of the ghouls, as easy as cleaning up zombies, and Li Mu quickly ended the battle.
After the battle of the ghouls, Tolf and the others reacquainted themselves with Li Mu, and knew that the young man in front of him was by no means as weak as he seemed. It turned out that in addition to being a doctor, Li Mu was also an extremely good fighter.
Although all the ghouls were eliminated, the people in the team were either injured or poisoned, but fortunately, Li Mu's backpack had enough alchemy potions. After distributing it to everyone, Li Mu said to Tolf, "Teacher, we have just entered the cave and encountered such danger. The further we go inside, the greater the danger is estimated, and the wounded in the team are in urgent need of treatment, so let's end the mission and go back for the time being. ”
Li Mu's words were right, more than half of the team's casualties had been greatly reduced, and if there was no peripheral protection of the imperial soldiers, these fragile wizards would be in danger.
In addition, this mission was obviously not as simple as his old classmate said, and Tolf, who was skeptical in his heart, borrowed Li Mu's words and said, "Well, okay, it can only be like this." I didn't prepare enough for this time, so that's the end of today's expedition. Zag, Brilina, you two go back to the academy with the team first, and I'll let you know if you want to continue the expedition. ”
"What about him?"
Seeing that Li Mu was left alone, although he had seen Li Mu exert his might, Zag, who had a high opinion of himself, still asked dissatisfiedly.
"Li Mu, I still have something to ask, you go back early, don't worry about the family!"
