Following.

Mu Yun began to organize his equipment, bison leather armor, snow cloak, gloves, hat, goggles, masks, short swords inserted in his waist, 15 homemade talismans in his pocket, and 5 potions stuffed in the medicine belt.

You're all set!

"Let's go!"

The walls of the town are 7 meters high, made of stone, very strong, with pointed wooden walls and crossbowmen on guard. The city gate had two floors, and there was an eight-foot deep ditch around the perimeter of the wall, which was full of sharp iron thorns, and hung fire oil channels, which could spew fuel at any time to create a flame defense line.

A small town has a complete fortification, mainly to prevent the Orcs from the high ground from attacking the city.

Three snowmobiles leave the town through the North City Gate.

The wild is a barren flat land, all black frozen soil, although there are a few farms, lumber yards, but there is no human figure, 10 kilometers away from the town, the flat land comes to an abrupt end, basically covered by dense forests and mountains, the eyes are thousands of miles, there are no fireworks.

The majestic snow-capped mountains stand in the distance, stretching for dozens of miles, white and thorough, and the dust is not clean, like a beautiful and pure virgin. This is the wilderness, pristine frozen northern frontier.

Mu Yun, One-Eye, plus 4 elite mercenaries participated in the operation.

One-eyed with a knife, the other four, two with a sword, two with a bow, melee and long-range attack.

The snowmobile traveled all the way, and it took 30 minutes to arrive at an outpost, where more than a dozen soldiers were stationed in an 8-meter stone sentry tower to monitor the activities of monsters and orcs, and it was also one of the transit points for mercenaries.

There are woods ahead, and there are no roads.

It can only be changed to walking.

A mercenary with an archer approached and said, "Hey, your first time out of town?"

Mu Yun smiled and acquiesced.

The mercenary smiled and said, "The place is not too far, you won't encounter powerful demonic beasts, and there will be fewer demons, don't worry!"

Another mercenary said: "Phew, what if you encounter it? Several of them are elites, they have slaughtered dozens of demonic beasts, and the one-eyed boss himself will definitely ensure your safety!"

The mercenary was afraid that Mu Yun would be nervous, so he comforted him kindly.

One-eyed slapped the blade and shouted, "Hey, don't mumble, cheer up! This is not the city, be careful of losing your life!"

The mercenaries stopped talking and began to guard the surroundings, One-Eye opened the way in front, two melee mercenaries followed, Mu Yun stood in the middle, two archers were in charge of the back of the hall, and the group began to trek through the snow.

Although the weather was good, the snow trek was very physically demanding.

The Northland is too big.

There are too many no man's land!

The footprints left by Mu Yun may be the first footprints of the human race from ancient times.

In the snow-covered forest, the shadows of elk, snow rabbits, and snow pheasants are often seen, and the mercenaries are not interested, walking about 3 or 4 kilometers, and the one-eyed suddenly raised his hand, and everyone quickly stopped.

"What's wrong?"

One-Eye inhaled and whispered, "Something is following us!

The two mercenaries hid into the woods, and the sound of arrows was heard, accompanied by a few wails, and several mercenaries returned, making a gesture to indicate that it was done. These are all veteran mercenaries, experienced, although they don't talk much, but they cooperate tacitly.

The team continued to move forward, and soon saw a wild wolf lying on the ground, with an arrow stuck in its neck, and the mercenary shot an arrow infused with true qi, and the arrow pierced through the neck, which was very powerful. The wolf was twitching, blood was pouring out, stained red and white snow, it was not completely dead, and the mercenary didn't even look at it, and continued to move on.

"There are footprints!" One-Eye found a footprint, the mercenary immediately guarded the surroundings, One-Eye put the knife aside, leaned over to observe the footprints, "It's not the footprints of the beast, I suspect they were left by those guys." ”

So soon there will be a clue!

The mercenary perked up and began to track the footprints.

Mu Yun walked for a few minutes, his expression becoming more and more confused, "It's strange." ”

"What's wrong with you?"

"A zombie is a thoughtless, unintelligent undead life that only wanders aimlessly. Mu Yun pointed to the straight footprints, "We walked all the way, the footprints were neat and straight, this is not like a zombie." ”

What would not be a zombie?

One of the mercenaries said, "This is the only clue, let's track it down!"

That's it!

Mu Yun followed the team forward, and walked through the grove for more than ten minutes, the scene in front of him suddenly changed, and a shabby-looking abandoned wooden house appeared in the field of vision, located in the middle of a huge cedar, the roof was covered with branches and leaves, it was difficult to find if you didn't identify it carefully, there was no snow around, revealing patches of black frozen soil, the soil looked fresh, there were traces of turning, and the soil was mixed with some white powder.

One-eyed bends down and puts some powder in front of his nose and sniffs it.

"Lime?"

One of the mercenaries shouted, "There's a house ahead!"

"Nonsense, Lao Tzu is only blind in one eye!" One-Eye sprinkled the powder, stood up and said, "You two stay on guard." ”

The mercenary drew his broadsword and took cover to hide.

One-eyed, Muyun and the archer advanced, and from a distance, One-Eye smelled a smell of decay, having been a mercenary for 30 years, he knew that it was the smell of rotting corpses, and there was also a strange smell, very much like some kind of potion.

A mercenary shooter looked around and said, "Boss, there are no traps nearby." ”

"You stay at the door!"

"Yes!"

One-eyed kicked in the door directly, and Mu Yun followed closely behind.

A scene seen inside the hut.

Mu Yun couldn't help but be stunned.

Undoubtedly.

It's a secret warlock laboratory, with dozens of glass jars on a specimen shelf, filled with green liquid, while soaking various organs, some animal, others human-like.

There was a long dissecting table in the center, with blood stains on it, and it was surrounded by tools, tweezers, saws, hammers, knives...... On the shelf of the test tube, there are different colors of potions, plus some ground powder.

There's an eerie atmosphere everywhere here.

On the wall are five drawings, hand-drawn drawings of the human body, which were dissected and a large number of corpses were dissected, little by little.

Mu Yun wanted to walk over, but when he stepped on a piece of floor, he suddenly felt something, leaned over and touched the ground, his fingers lightly tapped to make a "bang" sound, he raised his head and shouted: "One-eyed, there is a tunnel here!"

"Really, open it up!"

Mu Yun groped for a handle, made a noise, and pushed the plank away. A dark passage appeared in front of him, and the strong mixed smell of blood and corruption came to the face, giving people a feeling of unease and fear.

"Damn, evil sect! Lao Tzu wants to see what the hell is famous!" One-Eye swallowed a mouthful of saliva, "Prepare a torch first." ”

Mu Yun silently recited the incantation, and the slight energy fluctuated, spreading out from the palm of his hand, and the light energy condensed, and finally a glowing sphere appeared.

A fist-sized ball of light slowly sank into the tunnel.

One-Eyed exclaimed, "This spell is so convenient!"

Mu Yun prepared a total of 3 spell templates, a 9-ring [Evil Avoidance], a 6-ring [Enhanced Fire Bomb], a 3-ring [Illumination Ball], plus 6 [Level 1 Runic Activation] templates.

This is the limit of what can be achieved at present.

The first 3 are apprentice spells, as for the [Level 1 Rune Excitation] is a special spell template, which must be used with the rune, it is not a conventional spell, and it does not account for much mana, but the number of preparations is limited by the warlock level.

Now, the lighting ball has been used up.

15 talismans are Mu Yun's main means, but since the talisman is activated 6 times, a total of 6 talismans can only be used.

"I'll go down first. ”

One-Eye made a gesture and went down a wooden ladder.

Mu Yun pulled out his short sword, took out a [Light Shield Protection] talisman from the talisman bag with his left hand, and waited quietly for several minutes, without any movement at all.

"Hey, One-Eye, how are you?"

A one-eyed voice came: "I haven't found any danger for the time being, but I personally suggest that you don't come down." ”

Mu Yun didn't say a word, the short sword bit into his mouth, and climbed from the stairs into the basement. Mu Yun stood firmly, urging the lighting ball to move forward, and the scene in the basement made people gasp.

The basement is simply a slaughterhouse.

There were 25 wooden barrels, each containing a corpse, naked and hideous, soaked in a pungent and foul-smelling liquid.

Each corpse has stitches and is covered in intricate patterns.

Mu Yun didn't show fear, let alone vomit on the spot, which impressed One-Eye, and he said to Mu Yun: "Lao Tzu has never seen this kind of thing when he runs south and north, this looks like a warlock's style, do you know what's going on?"

"This is a potion made from Xinjin grass. ”

"What's it like Spice Grass?"

"When Xinjin grass juice is applied to a wound, it will immediately produce blood clots in the blood vessels, so it has the function of stopping bleeding. This herb is generally not used for medical purposes, but is used as a living sclerosing agent. ”

One-eyed doesn't understand much.

Mu Yun continued to explain: "When you apply grass juice on your body, the applied area will become extremely hard. ”

One-eyed immediately thought of the magic of it, and his eyes suddenly lit up, "Then when you are working, if you apply it to the second child, won't it become a real golden gun, and the ten girls of the night emperor are not a problem...... Ahem, ahem!" One-Eye quickly coughed a few times, almost forgetting the occasion, and changed his words: "That...... What do you mean by these corpses being soaked in them?"

Mu Yun said with a solemn expression: "Refining corpses!"

"What are you refining?"

"There's lime in the outside soil, which is antiseptic. I was suspicious at the time, but now I can basically determine that it must be a corpse!" Mu Yun found a rough magic circle on the wooden barrel, which was the death magic circle, and immediately said, "The owner of this place is a warlock who understands the art of death!"

Mu Yun was very confused, didn't the Death Technique Dao only develop thousands of years later?

How can anyone understand this period?

"Soak in the elixir of gold, and the corpse will become hard, which is the first step in making zombies. Mu Yun paused, suddenly thought of something, stared at One-Eyed and said, "I understand, the zombies you encountered earlier are not naturally formed. ”

"What do you mean?"

"Those zombies were made!"

"No, zombies can still be made?"

Mu Yun nodded affirmatively and said, "Of course you can!"

One-eyed was furious, "Dog offal, who did it, Lao Tzu must chop him up and drink wine!"

"Don't be impulsive, it's more serious than you think. Mu Yun's gaze swept over more than two dozen corpse refining buckets and said: "Judging from the corpse training array, this person's technique is quite skilled, I'm afraid that there are no less than hundreds of corpses, if you meet him, who chops who may not be able to say!"

One-eyed thought of the zombie's combat power, and his expression became a little ugly, "Is there anything you can do?"

"A natural corpse can be tamed, but a corpse can't. ”

One-eyed and an old face stiffened: "Then what should I do?"

"The best thing to do is to kill the Deathwarlock, and this one Warlock may be from White Pine Town. This may have something to do with the disappearance of the townspeople. Mu Yun urged the lighting ball and swept his gaze, "He hasn't come back yet, there are a few rooms, let's go in and look for it now, maybe there are clues." ”
