In the middle of the night, everyone in the starting point village fell into a sweet dream, and only a figure stood in the grave.

Today, Long Yan brought a group of people to visit her, and told her what happened today, depicting a paradise. He also said that he would come to see her every day in the future, and tell her all about what happened to them and the scenery he saw, so that she would also go there with them, hoping that she would not be lonely again.

Although she has spent almost a thousand years alone, she feels very happy to have such a lively little friend as Long Yan, but these can't fill the hole in her heart.

"Alas~~~ Where the hell are you? If you're in the underworld, then I can also drop a qiē and chase you. But for hundreds of years, I've always felt your save. Why, why can't I sense your specific existence? The Mermaid Forest is too complicated and mysterious, if only he would help me."

Linglong's figure of Wu Jian appeared in her mind, but her tone was full of resentment (almost a thousand years).

Why is this just a gesture for you, why just don't you want to help me!?

Affected by the resentment, the delicate ghost figure became ethereal, with a hideous face on its face, and its hair fluttering upward

Yes!?

Suddenly, Linglong shivered and hugged her body.

She dared to vent her anger against Wu Jian?

She knew that she still had the impression that she had met Wu Jian almost a thousand years ago. At that time, it was already a few years after the gods disappeared. But because there was still a seal, and by the way, he also cleaned up the demon clan, and Wu Jian still stayed in that world. For various reasons, Linglong had seen Wu Jian here, and it can be said that Wu Jian helped her because she was pitiful. But it's not free, when the Saint Seiya wasn't as strong as it is now, but she was asked to help take care of it.

Hurriedly shook her head, what happened to her today?

At this time, Linglong noticed that there was an unusual fog around her.

"These are"

His brows furrowed, and Linglong's heart began to tense. There was magic in this mist, which allowed her to do this without even realizing it. It's no ordinary person. I'm ashamed to say it. She's grown so old and she's never fought anyone.

"Hey, hey, I didn't expect to meet a superb ghost in this small village, it's really worthy of the Mermaid Forest!"

With a somber laugh, a man in a black robe with a wrinkled face appeared in the fog. The average person can't see it. But for Linglong, this bit of fog is like nothing.

"You're a lich!?"

"Oh? A mere ghost can see through my identity at once? Hey. I'm going to get you even more now! ”

The skull staff waved. The surrounding fog seemed to be consciously converging towards Linglong. Don't look at the fact that these fogs did not cause any damage to the surrounding tombstone weeds, this is the famous "soul miasma", which has a terrible corrosive effect on the soul. This thing. It can be said that it is the nemesis of Linglong's kind of soul body.

Hum!

Linglong smiled sarcastically, if the average ghost would probably go berserk and be caught by this lich, but to her the mist was nothing more than a bath.

Linglong waved her hands, and gusts of yin wind blew around her as the center. However, because these fogs also have the magic of the lich, they are not so easy to blow away, but they are surrounded by the fog against the current, and the thick fog even obscures her vision and perception.

"Hey, hey, just a ghost trying to blow away my mist? Too naïve."

The sound stopped abruptly as the lich's mist was blown away. I saw that Linglong's body exuded the light of the soul, and the gusts of yin wind surrounded her, and her hair stood on end.

"Hehe, hahaha!"

I thought that the lich should show a panicked expression, but I didn't expect him to laugh out loud, and Linglong was stunned for a moment.

"Sure enough, as the old man expected, you have no experience in combat."

"W-So what!?"

Linglong had a bad feeling in her heart, but she didn't see any hole cards for the lich - if it was just skeletons, zombies, or even bone dragons, she would have a way to deal with it.

"That's it!"

Holding the skull staff, the mist reappeared, but this time it was different from the one just now. What Linglong saw was a mist composed of countless tiny insects.

Although it is said that ants bite and kill elephants, it also depends on the difference in strength, and those soul worms can't deal with her - even more.

Linglong was relieved a little, but just as she was about to burn those insects with a yin fire, she suddenly felt a pain in her heart.

How can it be? She's already a dead person, and she can still feel the heartache?

Whatever the reason, Linglong knew that now was not the time to be afraid of pain, and the yin fire was released smoothly. But those insects pounced on her as if they had encountered some delicious food, and her yin fire gradually disappeared in place as if it had been eaten by insects.

"How is that possible?"

The bugs had climbed up her body, but no matter how much she tried to drive them away, her strength was useless against the bugs. Although she could resist for a while with her strength, it was only a matter of time.

"It's useless, my special soul-seeking insect was also mixed into the mist just now. If you have combat experience, even just ordinary ghosts can defend against it. But you are too naïve, and the soul worm took advantage of the opportunity to enter your soul body. These soul-seeking insects are all one, and as long as one is in your body, your power is useless against the other insects. ”

"It's, it's just a soul worm!"

After knowing these secrets, with his instinct and the powerful magic power in his body, he still has a way to deal with the soul worm.

"Hehe, of course these are of no practical use to you, but"

With a finger of the skull staff, countless soul-seeking insects coalesced together and turned into four chains that bound Linglong's limbs. The other end of the chain was also connected to four pillars of unknown material that had just risen from the ground in four directions.

"It's just an appetizer, I'll train you to become the ultimate Ghost King, and then follow me to deal with that Hell Knight in the depths of the Mermaid Forest, guarding the ruins. Hehe, I've done the math, you and her are definitely the perfect combination! It's really a coincidence that there will be undead creatures of the same year and souls that match so well, you are really a match made in heaven, hahaha! ”

"What the hell are you talking about about the Hell Knight!?"

Speaking of ruins, there is only one legend of the Mermaid Forest over the years. Probably not

"Don't worry. You will become my slaves, and when I become gods, I will be able to make you a divine guard! But before that you've been here for so long, I don't know if you have feelings for them? ”

The lich looked left and right, and smiled wickedly.

"What do you want to do!?"

Linglong struggled. But it is impossible for her to break free all at once.

"Just let these people play with you."

The lich's magic covers the entire cemetery. And some of his bugs have also dived under the tombstone. And then

"Hey, hey, hey?"

The lich's smile froze, could it be that his methods had become rusty if he hadn't done it for a long time? Is this impossible?

Boom!

Slamming the skull staff to the ground, the lich's magic vibrating underground. But the cemetery was still quiet, and there was no movement.

"How is this possible!?"

Even if the corpses under the tombstones have melted, and the souls have gone to the underworld to see death, there are always remnants of the thinking body - there are perfectly organized cemeteries, and there are traces of human worship, so it is impossible to have no thinking body. Even if there was even the slightest trace of these dead people, he could summon undead creatures.

Bringing the Soul-Seekers out of the ground to see if there were no problems with them made the Lich even more angry. What kind of evil place is this!?

"Who is disturbing the peace of the dead here!?"!?

A word of ordinary volume and weight rang out, causing the lich's heart to skip a beat—though his heart couldn't beat anymore.

This person was able to go so close to be discovered by him (and he took the initiative to speak out), although he is usually very conceited and has the ability to be conceited, but he is not stupid. Although the person who came seemed to be young, his strength was definitely mad - it was impossible to rely on any artifact, even if there was any artifact to hide from him with his strength, the owner of this artifact was also a first-class master.

"Mr. Zhenqian!"

Linglong doesn't know many people, Zhenqian is one of them, and he knows him very well. Because Zhenqian usually helps take care of the cemetery.

Seeing that Linglong and Zhen Qian knew each other, he was even more jealous, and quietly released more insects, and Zhen Qian seemed to let the insects surround him unconsciously.

"Mr. Zhenqian, please be careful!" Linglong reminded loudly.

"Hey, it's late. Boy, no matter how strong you are, you can't survive the siege of the soul worms, if you want to blame it, you can blame it! ”

"Hmph, just a little bug, what kind of big talk are you talking about?"

"What did you say!?"

The lich is not stupid, and of course understands that the little worm in Zhen Qian's mouth is himself. He has been on the continent for hundreds of years, how could anyone dare to speak to him like this?

"Hehehe" the lich laughed angrily, "young and vigorous, it seems that you still don't know how powerful I am Nao Zu!" ”

"Where's the little bug?"

originally thought that the person in front of him would be surprised when he heard his name, and even retreated immediately, but Zhen Qian became more and more arrogant, looking up at him with his back eyes.

With his Nao Aozu's name, it is impossible for a person with such strength not to have heard of him, and he takes it for granted that Zhen Qian is responding to him, but he really doesn't care if Zhen Qian is a strong person in this world.

"Excellent! I'm going to make you the lowest zombie! ”

Under the command of Naozu, the insects attacked Zhen Qian from all directions, but were burned clean by the blue-white flames when they were about to touch him.

"Necromancer!?"

Nao Zu screamed, and his heart began to search: looking at his methods, it could not be an unknown necromancer. Who exactly!?

But don't get me wrong, necromancers and lichs are not the same species, although they are both undead, but they are still mortal enemies in some way, so it's impossible to find a relationship.

In this world, because they are in the moment when a hundred schools of thought are contending, necromancers are not shouted and killed like in the ordinary world, but more like mages/Taoists who give people funerals in the real world. Although it is unfortunate to deal with corpses and undead spirits, there is no better place to appease souls. In fact, after identifying Zhen Qian as a necromancer, Nao Zu felt that it was normal for him to be unable to summon the undead in this land. Because the souls of the dead in this land have been pacified by the earthquake. I was able to sleep peacefully in this land.

And. Because the magic element of this world is strong, it has penetrated into all aspects. Any plague, especially a man-made plague such as the Lich, is associated with magic and souls, and is extremely difficult. And this is the time for necromancers to show their skills. Even the mages of the Light Department couldn't match them in this realm. Therefore, it is very popular with the national government in a certain way. Almost every country has a necromancer hired for purpose.

Because the requirements for a qualified necromancer are stricter than those of ordinary magicians, this profession is also more standardized than ordinary professions, and no matter who the dead are, they must always be buried well. Therefore, regular necromancers are still respected to a certain extent, although the prospects are not optimistic.

The Lich, on the other hand, is different, although they are born from necromancers, but they are all villains who want to be immortal. If that's the case, it's not going to be shouted at and killed, the main thing is that there is no 100% way to become a lich until now, and once it fails, even the soul will be wiped out. Because those who want to become lichs do not want to die, in order to succeed at once, they have to go through a lot of inhumane realities - of course, with living people.

The most important thing is that becoming a lich does not mean that they are immortal, and when they become undead creatures, they will also decay, and their strength will even be weakened. Therefore, no matter which lich they are, they all carry out a lot of real yàn in order to pursue the perfect immortal body, and in order to maintain their strength, they also have to "renew" their physical bodies. The methods used are, of course, very inhumane.

Because the lich and the necromancer are of the same origin, there are also a large number of people who have misunderstandings about this profession, of course, it is not so strict now. But the people who choose the necromancer don't say that they all love this profession, but they don't allow other people's unwarranted misunderstandings, so they don't have a good impression of the lich who discredits this profession (after all, they have transferred from the necromancer), and the lich suddenly thinks that these people are not enterprising.

Because of all the above reasons, Zhen Qian put aside for the time being, Nao Aozu was going to kill him - mainly because he didn't want people to know that he was here, let alone that he had kidnapped Long Yan.

"If you meet me, you're unlucky, just die here, I'll see how much magic you have!!"

Naozu began to chant a spell quickly as he let the bugs besiege Zhen Qian, he was about to summon his army of undead.

"Humph!"

Zhen Qian snorted angrily, and the fire skyrocketed, and all the insects were burned at once. All of a sudden, the cemetery was surrounded by firelight, and it looked so poignant from a distance.

The fire came and went quickly, and in an instant, it burned Nao Zu's worms clean, not only did Linglong get free, but the worms in her body were also burned to death. But after all, it was burned in her body, even if the shock control zhì was very good, she also suffered a lot of impact and squatted down.

"No, it can't be! You're unexpected"

Shocked, Nao Zu trembled with anger, this is the worm he has cultivated for more than a hundred years!

"Bug, it's your turn next!"

Zhen Qian raised his head, not moving his fingers.

"Presumptuous!"

With a wave of the skull staff, more than a dozen undead monsters surrounded Zhen Qian, all exuding a powerful momentum.

When he saw them, Zhen Qian's brows raised.

Although necromancers also summon some zombies, skeletons, ghosts, and the like, they are all summoned directly from the underworld, and they are also responded to by the other party, which is not inconsistent with ordinary summoners. Although there are also direct training and contracts in this world, they are all in the ancient battlefield or have already been formed, or they have been approved by the other party. In general, although it can also form a military system, most of them are soulless.

The Lich is different, although they also summon powerful monsters from the underworld, but more often they train the living directly, binding their souls to their bodies for them to drive day and night. This is of course stronger than the average necromancer, but it is also the biggest annoying factor.

Although Zhen Qian is not a necromancer, he does not allow others to play with his soul like this.

"Humph!"

With a wave of his hand, a wave of corpse qi surrounded the undead.

"Heh, I thought you had some tricks, this kind of thing"

"Corpse Qi Underworld Wave."

The cold voice sounded, and the undead monster summoned by Nao Zu immediately disappeared in place. Not only that, but Nao Zu's connection with them was completely severed, and no matter how much he summoned them, he couldn't summon them again.

Just now, he was afraid that Zhen Qian would not give him so much time, so he only said a few of his army, but it also made him very painful.

"What did you do!?"

"Just send them back to the underworld, and then it's your turn."

Zhen Qian approached Nao Zu step by step, and the sound of chirping and rustling made even Linglong, who was onlookers, nervous.

Again, because Nao Aozu doesn't want other strong people to know that he has appeared here, so even if he has a powerful trick, he can't use it, and if he can deal with Zhen Qian, he will inevitably make a very big move, but this doesn't mean that he has no choice.

I saw that he muttered quickly in his mouth, and the skull staff shattered like sand at once, and the huge magic power enveloped him and Zhen Qian in an instant, and then both of them disappeared in place under Linglong's surprised gaze.

"Hahaha, necromancer, your flesh is still the flesh of a living person, you must have never been to this place! Welcome to the world of the dead, the Underworld! ”

In front of a black, oppressive rapid, the lich smirked with his hands wide open.

(To be continued......)
