Chapter 2: The Strange Swarm of the Undead

"Alright then, then I'll not go for now, and we'll talk about it when the Templar Master arrives. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info" Ao Xingfeng helped Ma Lin up and said, anyway, there is no time limit for the mission, so let's let them rest assured now.

"Your Excellency, please forgive me for my remarks. Marin said apologetically.

"You are all concerned about my safety, how can I blame you for this?" Ao Xingfeng shook his head and said.

"Okay everyone, go back and get ready, although I'm not going to go to the Broken Mountains now, we still have to get out of this place as soon as possible, I have a bad premonition. Ao Xingfeng said to the surrounding Templars.

The Templars quickly loaded their luggage in the wagon, and with a Templar led them towards the west of Pompeii.

The eastern part of Iro-Rome was no longer an unobstructed plain due to the great earthquake of Olympurus, and the view was severely obscured by the slopes and boulders protruding from the ground, and the ravines that had cracked in the ground were originally less than two days' journey, and now it is estimated that it will take twice as long.

The scorching sun is in the sky, if there are no protruding boulders that can block the exposure to the sun, ordinary people travel in such an environment is very difficult, and there is even a risk of fainting from heat stroke, after leaving Pompeii for about 3 hours, Ao Xingfeng decided to rest under a boulder for a while. The temperature was very high, Ao Xingfeng sweated and took out a pot of water, and poured it down, those heavily armed clergy warriors and Templars were the most tormented, their armor was not very good at ventilation, and it was like a steamer in the full-coverage plate armor.

As the Templars were preparing to build some improvised fortifications, Ao Xingfeng said, "Let's all rest for a while, we won't stay long." The Templars sat down, many of them unable to stand the heat, and took off their helmets to wipe the sweat from their heads.

"Your Excellency, the environment has changed so much since the earthquake that we have lost a reference for discerning our direction except for the sun. Ma Lin said close to Ao Xingfeng.

"Do you have a map? Take it out and I'll look at it. After Ao Xingfeng finished speaking, Ma Lin handed over the map in his arms.

"We're probably around here, and the target point is in the southwest?" Ao Xingfeng roughly estimated their location, their destination was the oasis in the lake where Prangton was stationed before, the oasis in the lake was a small wonder in the Irene continent, there is a large lake in the vast desert, and in the lake there is a small island, which is inhabited by many wild beasts, and it is also an outpost to guard the desert bandits, and the geographical location has the advantage of being easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Among the group of Templars who escorted Ao Xingfeng, some of Dorlock's and some were Plotton's subordinates, each of the Templar knights had a unique way of fighting, as well as the soul of the team, some liked to destroy the withering and decaying in one go, some liked to outflank and disrupt the enemy's formation, and some preferred to crush the opponent at a distance.

In the event of an attack, the two Templars, who were severely ill-matched, would not be able to exert their full strength, and might even be intimidated and their combat power would be reduced.

After resting for an hour, Ao Xingfeng walked at the front of the team with the map in hand, estimating the direction and moving slowly.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the procession stopped, because the front was blocked by a bottomless ravine with no end in sight.

"Let's stay where we are, and find out how long this ravine is. Ao Xingfeng glanced down at the ravine, then turned back to the Templars.

There were no trees to cut down nearby, so the Templars would untie the reins of the carriage, use the carriage to fence out a proposed guardrail, remove the tent and start building, Ao Xingfeng estimated the width of this ravine, about 50 meters, although it was said that the state of unintentional slash and alpha raid was activated, and you could jump over it with a single jump with all your might, but the others could not help it.

There was also a boulder around Ao Xingfeng's camp, Ao Xingfeng climbed to the top in three or two clicks, standing on the top of the boulder to observe the length of the ravine, and at the same time looking at the nearby terrain, but the next scene made Ao Xingfeng stunned.

With Ao Xingfeng as the center, 300 meters in the north, there were dense undead gathered behind the pile of rocks, originally this distance was enough for the undead to sense the breath of humans, but it may be the reason why the wind is relatively strong, before the human body smell passed over, it was blown away in mid-air, but this is not the place that stunned Ao Xingfeng, the group of undead were not standing in place unconsciously, as if they were holding some sacrifice.

However, the distance was still a little farther, Ao Xingfeng couldn't see the situation clearly, climbed down the boulder, and Ma Lin came over: "Lord Holy Envoy, have you found anything?"

"There is a very dense concentration of undead in the north, about 300 meters away from us. Ao Xingfeng said with a not very good face.

"What, then, let's continue on our way, and go a little farther along the southern side of the ravine?" said Marin, a little frightened.

"Well, everybody's heard, stop building and continue along the south. You guys pack up and go first, there is something strange about the group of undead that makes me feel strange, I'll go and see it and then I'll follow. Ao Xingfeng said.

"Holy Envoy, it's too dangerous! Marin said anxiously.

"Don't worry, I've dealt with a lot of undead, they can't hurt me, okay, don't persuade me, I know what to do. After Ao Xingfeng finished speaking, one climbed onto the boulder, and then jumped back and forth between the boulders to get closer to the undead gathered in the north.

Seeing that Ao Xingfeng had already moved, Ma Lin hurriedly urged: "Everyone quickly pack up and get ready to go on the road." "At the same time, I also personally participated in the work of cleaning up.

The closer he got to the group of undead, the more cautious Ao Xingfeng became, and lay down on the top of a boulder that was only about 50 meters away from the undead, looking down through the edge, while trying to restrain the aura emanating from his body.

This group of undead is completely different from the undead that Ao Xingfeng has encountered before, although there is no difference in appearance and posture, but Ao Xingfeng sees spirituality from their behavior and eyes, they are no longer Mu Ran's walking dead, and they seem to have a certain degree of intelligence.

From a distance, you can only roughly see what this group of undead seems to be doing, but after looking closely, Ao Xingfeng realized that this group of undead seems to be dancing around a small dirt slope? No, it should be some kind of sacrifice, right? Ao Xingfeng thought. But then something happened that scared Ao Xingfeng even more.

"People... Class.... Law.... A severely corrupted undead walked up to an undead who seemed to be the leader, and said intermittently, but Ao Xingfeng could tell that this was the language of the kingdom of Doshinan, which is located in the southwest of Iro-Rome and is a very exotic kingdom, but it doesn't matter, the important thing is that this undead actually spoke.

"He... We.. Put me.... We.. As... Cannon fodder!" the undead leader seemed angry, its eyes burned by the blue flames, leaving only the burning blue flames to act as eyes.

"For the king!" the words were staccato from the undead, but the words came from the undead leader's lips short and powerful, and he raised his hands aloft.

"For the king!" all the undead raised their hands at the same time, different from the human cheers, when the undead collectively made the same sound, it only made people feel a palpitation in their hearts.

Even a powerful person like Ao Xingfeng turned pale after facing the soul cry of the undead.
