Chapter 3: The Soul Mountains and the Wild Evil Temple
While it wasn't clear why the young necromancer wanted to know what was going on around him, a few of the apprentice necromancers didn't bother asking.
The older apprentice necromancer was the first to speak, and Xiao Shufang noticed that this person seemed to be the eldest among several people, and he was quite thin and thin, but his face was very resolute.
"Lord Edward, my name is Beverly, and this is William, Lyle, and Yaya." Xiao Shufang greeted these people one by one.
William is the youngest, Yaya is naturally the female necromancer, she is quite handsome, and the last one named Lyle is quite old, and he doesn't talk much among these people, but Xiao Shufang thinks that this Lyle seems to be very calm.
"Lord Edward, we all grew up in Yawei City, so we all know a lot about the surrounding area." Beverly said, pulling out a map.
"This is a simple map sent to us by the Necromancer's Guild, we are now in the Soul Mountains, this mountain range is the largest mountain range in the southwest of Raven Island, and of course we are in the outer areas. The city of Yawei is just south of here, about half a day's journey. Beverly explained.
Then Beverly introduced the surrounding situation to Xiao Shufang, and Xiao Shufang found that he had actually come overseas, and this was actually a huge island country.
As for what Crow Island Xiao Shu Madness really hasn't heard of, but now the entire Crow Island has become a country of the undead.
The fog that pervades the entire island is a super-large magic circle built by the undead to cast a spell called the Dark Sky.
It shields tracking and prophecy from prying eyes on Raven Island, greatly increases the power of the undead, and is a giant parasol for the sun-hating undead.
As for the trial quests they have to complete, in addition to the teeth of the bone-eating dogs that have already been completed, they also need the skull of the Revenant Raven, the heart of the Revenant Wood, and the Wraith Dust of a Wraith. (All of these tasks require fresh materials.) )
However, Xiao Shufang was obviously very surprised by the last task item, "The wraith is a third-order mid-rank undead creature, just a few of you can complete the task?" Isn't that what a strong man does? ”
"My lord, this is Lyle's task, the guild has given us some soul fans, which can weaken the ability of resentful spirits, which is probably equivalent to the strength of the third order, I think a few of us can complete the task." Beverly explained.
"I see, then it's fine." Xiao Shufang nodded.
After that, Xiao Shufang took these trainee necromancers to complete the trial mission, which was quite like taking a trumpet to upgrade in the game.
The nest of the Revenant Crow is quite easy to find, and several nests of Revenant Crow were found on the tree in one lesson.
This revenant crow is covered in pitch black and has gray eyes, like the embodiment of a demon. However, in terms of strength, it is not high, and it can only be equivalent to a first-order lower level of Warcraft.
But the most troublesome thing is that this creature usually swarms and can fly, and flies very fast.
If attacked, the revenant crows tend to gather and attack the enemy desperately, their beaks are sharp and fierce, if they are pecked, they may leave a hole in their body, and if they happen to be pecked in the eyes, they may be directly frightened.
But it's nothing for Xiao Shumad, just prop up a shield, summon a few skeleton soldiers as cannon fodder, and then find a few skeleton warriors as guards, and then let his undead servants skeleton spear throwers attack.
The undead servants belong to the extraction from the corpse, belong to the exorcism technique, and will always exist, but will occupy some spiritual power.
The undead summoned by the undead summoning technique are temporarily summoned from the underworld and need to constantly provide mana support, and most of them act as cannon fodder.
Sure enough, the attacked revenant crows gathered and launched a suicide attack on the attacker.
A few skeleton soldiers were easily pecked through their spine bones by the Revenant Raven and turned into a puddle of broken bones.
These revenant crows' attacks were really sharp, and of course the impact still made them very uncomfortable.
Other revenant crows set their sights on Xiao Shumad, the culprit.
It's a pity that Xiao Shumad, who is a junior professional, has a magic shield.
"Bump! Touch! The two crows slammed into the shield and suddenly turned into two large pies, and died a miserable death.
Xiao Shufang was also taken aback, although he had long expected that these first-level demonic beasts would not be able to break through his shield, but if he wanted to be so scary, the spirit of these revenant crows' suicidal attacks was indeed very imposing.
However, because of this crazy spirit, the Revenant Raven was quickly consumed.
"The Revenant Raven deserves to be the bravest of birds." Chicken wings muttered.
This time he was so by the Revenant Crow, Xiao Shufang consumed a lot of mana.
"Lord Edward, this tree is the Revenant Wood, please let the Skeleton Spear Thrower help us, and we can do the rest ourselves." Beverly said respectfully.
"Yes, okay." Xiao Shufang naturally agreed, but he thought in his heart that since the tree was here, why did he ask himself to borrow soldiers.
Then Xiao Shufang realized that he was very wrong, and the tree actually came to life.
The tree actually waved its palm-like branches, smashing several skeletons commanded by Beverly directly into pieces.
Beverly was not in a hurry, and took the opportunity to throw a few glass bottles out.
Then a lot of green ghost fire suddenly spilled from the shattered glass bottle, and then I saw the entire Revenant Tree begin to burn violently.
During this period, the revenant trees continued to let out a rustling howl, which made Xiao Shufang look a little unbearable.
But Beverly and the others didn't do that, and instead happily dug up a milky white heart-like wood from the burning tree of the dead.
"Thank you, Lord Edward, thank you, Lord Edward." Several people thanked each other one after another.
"It's okay, I didn't make much effort." It is true that a few people originally wanted their own skeleton spear throwers, and it was estimated that they would use it just in case, but it turned out to be useless at all, so Xiao Shumad really didn't contribute.
"Now only the Wraith is left, do you know where it is?" After a period of meditation, Xiao Shufang also recovered a lot of mana, so he said.
"One of the messages we got from the union was that there was an evil temple in the valley south of here, and that there might be evil spirits there." Beverly said respectfully.
"The Evil Temple?" Xiao Shu was stunned.
"Well, this evil temple was actually established by the union, and there are many abyss exits in the Suosoul Mountain Range, so there are a lot of undead creatures here, and the evil temple was built here to let the undead creatures gather there, so if we go over, we may encounter a lot of undead creatures, and the specific types are not very clear." Beverly said worriedly.
"Then why is this kind of mission being issued?" Xiao Shufang frowned and said.
According to his understanding, these trial tasks are actually a little difficult, but most of them are to hunt for some materials, which is also one of the means for the Necromancy Guild to collect money. However, correspondingly, the trainee necromancer has obtained the advanced qualification, and the necromancer guild will also provide a lot of benefits, such as the most important third-order magic learning scroll, which allows those necromancers who do not have a magic mentor to learn third-order necromantic magic according to the magic scroll, so as to officially enter the third-order stage.
"This?" Beverly looked hesitantly at Lyle, who had not spoken.
"Because I won the most difficult advanced trial, I said that I would go to this mission alone, and you don't have to accompany me." Lyle said seriously.
"Oh?" Xiao Shufang suddenly became a little interested.
