At dusk, the Plains of Noppine were dyed with an orange-red hue like blood.

"Hey! Sean, come over and help! ”

Hearing someone shouting at him in the distance, Sean stopped what he was doing and looked at the source of the sound to see that a man was waving at him.

"Oh, here we are!"

In response, Sean ran over with a suit of freshly peeled armor from the corpse, leaving a long trail of blood-red footprints on the ground.

There were as many corpses in this place as there were stones everywhere, and the blood stained almost the entire ground, what happened, Sean didn't know, and he didn't want to know, he just knew that he obeyed the boss's orders to loot the valuable things on the dead people.

They are a group of thieves who are more than 100 people entrenched in this area, and they are also a somewhat famous bandit of thieves, specializing in raiding merchants and travelers who pass by, and sometimes robbing adventurers who do not know the height of the sky, this is their life.

Last night, the leader of their bandit of thieves somewhere got a secret message that the Empire had sealed off the area from the Plains of Nopine, where all the troops sent by the Empire had died.

The Norpine Plains is an inaccessible area in the border area of the Fiwar Empire, because it is inhabited by many dangerous creatures, and even dragons have been found two hundred years ago, and many people who have come here have disappeared, and there are many famous people among them, so this place is designated as an S-class danger area by the Adventure Guild, and it is strictly forbidden for other people and adventurers to approach.

For the thieves living near this dangerous area, the Norpine Plains are their most familiar neighbors, when they first engaged in this business, they suffered a lot for it, they know the danger of the Norpine Plains better than anyone else, and if they have a short idle life, they can go to play in it, and guarantee that they will not come back for the rest of their lives.

But those who do their business, there are no upper and lower meals, the economic resources are plundered from others, the empire's famous army is all dead there, it also means that a lot of gold is waiting for them to get it, the empire's army is very famous both at home and abroad, and has created an impossible legend, exaggerated called "an army like a sharp sword", which means that no matter what army and city walls can not stop them, they are destined to be pierced by the sword.

To be able to obtain this kind of honorary title, they are naturally indispensable to the support of the state, and the equipment they wear on their bodies are forged by the hands of dwarves who are known as ingenious, such as the standard Mithril armor, a set of Mithril armor in the market price is worth 500 gold coins, and it may not be able to buy, for adventurers who live on the edge of life and death all day long, this kind of armor that can withstand the full force of the troll is also what they desire the most.

That night, at the headquarters of the thieves, a discussion meeting was held at the top of the hierarchy to discuss whether to go or not to go to the Norpine Plains.

In the end, under the temptation of money, with a slight advantage of three votes over two, the thieves made up their minds and decided to take a risk, anyway, it was not the first time to do such a dangerous thing, and when they did this business, they had already been psychologically prepared.

Tomorrow afternoon, in the morning's preparations, the heavily armed bands of thieves will be dispatched to advance on the Plains of Nopine, where the Imperial army has died.

The information received that the location of the death of the Imperial army was somewhere in the outskirts of the Norpine Plains, and if it were in the depths, the thieves would definitely give up the operation without even thinking about it, and the active creatures in the depths could crush them with a small finger.

In the outer areas, they are also regulars, whenever the Imperial army intends to encircle them, they will hide in the Norpine Plains, and when the turmoil subsides, they will make a comeback, so they are still familiar with the outer area.

Most of the creatures in the Plains of Nopinene are nocturnal, and few of them act during the day, and if they do, they are only modest creatures, and their purpose is to loot items before the Imperial army arrives, that is, when it is completely dark.

The Empire is not familiar with the environment of the Norpine Plains, even if they know the location of the army's death through prediction magic, they will encounter those fierce creatures along the way to hinder the progress because they can't find the right way, but their thieves are different, they have a secret passage that belongs to them, as long as they are careful, they can safely avoid the dangers along the way.

When they walked to the said location, all the members of the thieves group were shocked by the scene in front of them, and people like the boss who did not change their faces couldn't help but cover their noses, and the rest of them all had a strong urge to nauseate, and vomiting came one after another.

In the hot climate, corpses left unattended for a day will emit a smoky smell, and a scene like this one may have been for a few days.

The terrible smell of decay permeated the air, and the unique smell of blood was also transformed into a disgusting taste under the passage of time, white maggots attached to a corpse, flies flew all over the sky, and some beasts in the distance were still looking down and biting corpses, and at a glance, there was no end to the corpses, and the shocking effect was indescribable in words.

What happened was probably what all of them thought at the time, but no one dared to think much about the reason for this horror.

After everyone had vomited out everything they could vomit, the boss calmly announced their mission, and everyone put on scarves to block the smell, put on blessed gloves, and groped over the disgusting corpses.

There is a common sense, basically everyone will know, since the abyss was discovered tens of thousands of years ago, an evil curse called "resurrection of the dead" spread throughout the world like a virus, as long as the more people die, there is a high chance of the birth of undead, usually like a war between countries, there will often be a large number of undead.

The death toll in this place is also a bit beyond imagination, they originally thought that more than a thousand people had died at most, but they didn't expect that the number of corpses in front of them was beyond imagination, it was no longer a thousand as a unit of calculation, ten thousand might be more suitable.

According to the scene in front of them, there will inevitably be the birth of undead, if they are unlucky to encounter high-level undead, they are in danger of being wiped out, but as long as they do not die and approach the depths, there should be no danger to their lives, because high-level undead are generally only born in the center of the corpse group.

The boss also thought of this, he took the nemesis of the undead creatures from the Holy See in advance-Holy Water, and each person wore a small pot with holy water, as long as the holy water was smeared on the weapon, the attack on the undead would cause effective damage.

After a while, some people met the undead wandering nearby, but no one made a nest cry, living in this world, they also saw their neighbors or relatives wandering around the neighborhood as undead when they were children, and their psychological tolerance was not so unbearable.

The strength of the low-level undead itself is not very strong, the movement is slow, the reaction is slow, only the body that ignores the attacks caused by ordinary weapons is more tricky, it is a very ordinary monster, after smearing the weapon with holy water, a few knives will cut off the undead's head and end his life, in fact, it is not as difficult as imagined.

It was in such a situation that they searched for equipment on the corpse while guarding against the sneak attack of the undead, and after three hours of depressing work, it was finally about to usher in the night, and the work was about to come to an end, the night was the most dangerous moment, and they would not even want their lives for money.
