Chapter 20: The City of the Dead

The 100,000 Mountains are located in the northernmost part of the Moyue Empire and the northernmost point of the entire Aegean Continent. Although it is the height www.biquge.info of summer, the mountain wind blows, and there is still a trace of chill.

The 100,000 Mountains, like the Southern Cross Forest, are sparsely populated and where demonic beasts are rampant. The difference is that only the inside of the Southern Cross Forest is the paradise of high-level Warcraft, and there are still some mid-to-high-level Warcraft outside, and there are few top-level Warcraft or Super Warcraft. But the 100,000 Mountains are different, as long as you enter the 100,000 Mountains, you may encounter top-level demonic beasts or even super-level demonic beasts at any time! This is a place where high-level demonic beasts can't survive without gathering in groups!

It is rumored that among the 100,000 mountains, in addition to various magical beasts, there are natives who are very different from the Aegean creatures. All of them are bloodthirsty and dangerous, so even the most famous teams of the Aegean rarely come here. But today, there is a teenager who has single-handedly entered the 100,000 mountains.

Li Yannian had to stop and take a breath, although he had only walked less than five miles, but his current body was too bad, and he couldn't stand such a little bit of consumption!

His current body could barely withstand any elemental impact, so he couldn't use the magic teleportation array at all. Even because the body is too fragile to ride a horse. Thousands of miles from Pompeii to here, he almost always came by foot merchants' cars. However, the foot merchant naturally would not go to the 100,000 mountains. So the last few hundred miles can only be walked. Stop-and-go......

Originally, it was said that with Li Yannian's current physical condition, he couldn't move around much at all, which would also kill him. However, there is no end to the sky, and Li Yannian has a demon pet, a sword spider of the dark venom system!

The Sword Spider can secrete a variety of toxins, two of which have helped Li Yannian a lot. One has a strong paralyzing effect, which can greatly relieve the pain in Li Yannian's body. The other stimulates the nerves and allows him to reluctantly move. Of course, toxins are toxins, and the second toxin destroys muscle tissue after irritating the muscles. However, Li Yannian is now a broken jar, and his body has been destroyed to the extreme, so he doesn't care about the worse at all.

His magical talent was all ruined, and his physical body could not withstand the baptism of magic elements at all, so naturally he could not use magic. However, Ren Hanxi! Ren Hanxi was captured by the demons, and he must save Ren Hanxi!

Li Yannian knew that there was no one to help him. The other party is the Demon Silver Pupil Eight-Winged Heavenly King, comparable to the existence of the Aegean Holy Order. For no reason, no one wants to provoke such an opponent. In fact, there are very few people who can afford to provoke such an opponent. No one can help, Li Yannian can only rely on himself!

Last time, he and Ren Hanxi wanted to travel to the 100,000 mountains, but they inexplicably entered a strange place, which was a city composed of undead spirits. The outermost part is full of low-level skeleton soldiers, but the further you go inside, the higher the level of the undead. If he hadn't run out with Ren Hanxi when he found out that something was wrong, maybe he wouldn't have been able to escape.

After returning to Pompeii from the 100,000 Mountains, Li Yannian went to the library to look through the literature. He is a close disciple of the dean, and he can read many high-level materials that ordinary students and even instructors can't consult, and he doesn't know if he doesn't know it, and he is shocked when he sees it.

About 4,000 years ago. At that time, it was not the creation calendar, but a different calendar. That's when the Wizards' Guild appeared with a talented guy. That guy studied some of the classics left over from the demon invasion period in ancient times, and actually researched the necromancy of the demons according to the necromancy of the demons!

Opening up a new lineage of magic is something that can't be more awesome. So although this guy was later judged as one of the greatest heretics in the history of the judges, his name was recorded on the verge of being Apolonius.

This Dana is a Grand Magister in his own right, and is an extremely rare spiritual person. The strength belonged to the top wave in that era. After researching necromancy, it has advanced by leaps and bounds. Soon became one of the strongest people in the continent at that time.

Necromancy wasn't considered taboo magic in the first place. In fact, the Wizards' Guild was still promoted at first. After all, there are many advantages to this kind of magic. The main point is to summon high-level undead creatures, such as Dread Knights, Mummy Warriors, etc., which can effectively protect vulnerable mages. It was the era of the rise of the samurai guilds. The samurai were reluctant to rely on the mage, and the advent of this magic was once again thought to allow the mage to completely override the samurai.

However, Apolonius, the boss, doesn't give much face to the guild bosses. This thing first used a ritual to transform itself into an immortal form of a lich, that's all, there are many people who pursue eternal life, although the transformation into a lich is extreme, but if it doesn't hinder others, no one cares. At that time, Apolonius was the vice president of the Wizards' Guild, and no one wanted to touch him.

However, after Apolonius himself became an undead, he was not satisfied, and began various experiments. At first, he experimented with death row prisoners from various countries, and the Wizards' Guild was wealthy, so others thought they didn't see it, but then he thought that there were too few death row prisoners and it was difficult to meet his requirements, so he began to set his sights on ordinary people. He even used necromancy to transform all the people of a village into undead.

Of course, Apolonius couldn't do these things openly, he did it secretly. However, the paper could not contain the fire after all, and this matter was still discovered by someone with a heart! The Magicians' Guild was forced to remove the qualification of the vice president of the Apolonius Guild and sent a magician to capture Apolonius.

But Apolonius was so easy to catch? Originally, he was the top archmage. After transforming into a lich, his strength is comparable to that of the Holy Rank, and he is still an undead body that is difficult to destroy. The two archmages and a few other mages who had gone to capture him failed to catch him and he ran away. He also killed several high-level magicians. The Sorcerer's Guild had to position it as a rebel and heretic. Begin a massive hunt for Apolonius.

Under the fierce pursuit of the Wizards' Guild, Apolonius was seriously injured and fled, and for a time disappeared. But just when people thought he was seriously injured and died, a terrifying army of the undead appeared in the territory of the Francisco Empire. At that time, Francisco was not as influential as today's Francisco almost the entire Western Continent, and even had no substantial connection with today's Francisco Empire, but it was also the number one power in the Aegean at that time, but in the face of the army of the undead, it was vulnerable!

It turned out that Apolonius had built a Scourge castle in a valley in the territory of the Francisco Empire, and transformed a large number of the nearby inhabitants into undead. And cultivated a large number of high-end undead creatures.

Leading an army of hundreds of millions of undead who were not afraid of death, or would not die at all, Apolonius captured the Francisco Empire in a few days, and the imperial family at that time fled in a hurry. The whole Aegean was shrouded in the haze of the dead for a moment.

Apolonius was born in the Wizards' Guild, so it was reasonable, even for the sake of face, the Wizards' Guild had to solve this matter. So the Sorcerers' Guild sent a hunting party to Apolonius' lair, and the Scourge Castle besieged Apolonius.

However, the ideal is very plump, but the reality is very skinny, and the hunting operation has suffered an unprecedented setback. Not only did it fail to destroy the Scourge Castle, but the Wizards' Guild also lost a Holy Mage and three Archmages. The Samurai Guild also took this opportunity to rise in full force.

The Wizards' Guild, which was difficult to ride a tiger, had to give up the suppression of the Samurai Guild and turn to cooperation. The Eastern and Western Continents once again organized a group of hunting teams of extreme masters, and at the same time, with the full cooperation of almost all the countries in the Eastern and Western Continents, an unprecedented number of armies were formed, which can be said to be the whole continent to fight against Apolonius and his undead legion.

However, even with the forces of the whole continent, this battle has been fought for nearly ten years. Under the influence of the Scourge Castle, the undead can be reborn, and those killed by them will also be transformed into undead. The situation is not optimistic.

In the end, the hunting team composed of the Extreme Dao masters paid an extremely heavy price, and the three Holy Orders fell, and finally destroyed the Scourge Castle. Apolonius was also killed by several Holy Orders. The undead who lost the Scourge Castle lost their ability to regenerate, and without the manipulation of Apolonius, the army of the undead was finally completely wiped out. However, some of the high-level undead creatures escaped and escaped into the 100,000 mountains, where legend has it that they built a city of the undead......

Li Yannian was almost certain that what he encountered in the 100,000 mountains was the fish that slipped through the net at the beginning. However, without Apolonius, the remaining high-level undead may have good strength themselves, but they do not have the ability to unleash an army of undead.

Li Yannian's purpose in coming to the 100,000 Mountains was to find the undead city.

Li Yannian didn't know if that undead city could help him, but he knew that this was his only hope. His body could no longer withstand any elemental power, neither magic nor martial arts. There is also no way to fix it. He didn't know if necromancy could do it, but it was the only way he could think of it.

Although the last time he entered the undead area, Li Yannian had a good memory, and he remembered very well how he got in, and there were only two problems he faced. The first is whether his body can support him to find the undead city, and the second is whether the undead city can help him!

Maybe it was too bad luck some time ago, and all the bad luck was used up. The journey has been very smooth. Although it was difficult, after more than two months of trekking, Li Yannian finally found the undead area again.

As soon as he entered here, there was a faint gray mist around him, and some skeletons and miscellaneous soldiers began to be faintly visible in the gray mist.

Things were a bit unexpected by Li Yannian. Originally, Li Yannian was still worried about how to deal with those undead creatures, but he was puzzled to find that those skeleton miscellaneous soldiers didn't exist at all, and the birds didn't bird him.

Li Yannian had never been exposed to undead magic, nor had he learned about undead creatures, so he didn't know. Low-level undead creatures do not distinguish between friend and foe by looking, but by feeling life! Whether it is a human or a demonic beast, as long as it is a living thing, all of them will have life on it, and the nature of the undead is to attack the living thing.

The last time Li Yannian and Ren Hanxi came here, they were immediately attacked by the skeleton miscellaneous soldiers, just because they had vitality in them. However, at this time, Li Yannian's body had been completely destroyed, and it was not much different from the corpse, and it was all dependent on the special toxin secreted by the sword spider to move. Although he was not completely dead, he was so thin that the low-level undead creature could not feel it at all, and treated him as his own kind.

Li Yannian didn't understand what was going on, and he didn't have the leisure to understand. Those undead didn't attack him, and it saved him trouble.

After dragging his dilapidated body and struggling to move forward for an unknown amount of time, a strange but majestic castle appeared in his field of vision. Li Yannian knew that he had found the right place, and that was the rumored city of the undead!
