Chapter 626: Book of Death

Alliance heavy cavalry, level 168, ghost level monster.

…

Looking at their direct gazes, I frowned slightly, my heart pounding, until one of the knight captains with a gold emblem on his chest raised his iron gun, pointed it at me, and said in a low and hoarse voice of the dead: "Lazy maggot, why don't you join us and patrol together? If Master Yun Qiong starts to blame you, I'm afraid you will end up in pieces!"

"ah?"

I was surprised, lowered my voice, and tried in a hoarse voice: "Master Yunqiong is here?"

"That's right."

He looked at me coldly: "Let's go, stop talking nonsense."

"yes!"

A group of heavy alliance cavalry turned around, and I followed at the end of the team. I couldn't help but smile to myself. Are these heavy alliance cavalry all blind? You actually regard me as one of your own? If there is no blindness, then it must be that no one is allowed to come near here. Apart from these dead people, there is no other life. And along the way, I did not see a second living person besides me.

Following a group of monsters wandering around the ancient city, I was always careful, for fear of revealing any clues.

About ten minutes later, a group of heavy cavalry from the Alliance arrived at the center of the city. A voice came from the snowy curtain: "Don't kill me, don't kill me..."

Someone is there!

I suddenly tugged on the reins and led the cold iron horse out of the queue. Under the cover of the wind and snow, I rushed along the collapsed walls in the direction of the sound, and jumped onto the roof of a dilapidated stone house that had not yet collapsed. At the top, not long after, in the cold heavy snow, steel cages appeared in the open space between the ruined walls. There were about a dozen of them, and each cage held more than a dozen people. These NPCs were in ragged clothes and had There are farmers, travelers, and some soldiers. Judging from the soldiers' badges, they belong to Beiyuan City, a secondary main city closest to the north.

"Shut up, everyone!"

An Allied heavy cavalryman suddenly pulled out his sword and struck it with a "clang" on the top of the cage. Wisps of sparks flew out, frightening the human begging for mercy so much that he crawled away. His half-rotted face was covered with rotten flesh. He fell down, looked at those people horribly, and sneered: "You sacrifices, it will be time to sacrifice you soon, so don't worry."

"The sacrificial ceremony is about to begin!"

In the distance, a hoarse voice came.

Soon, countless alliance heavy infantry, cavalry, and archers came from all directions. Thousands of them looked respectfully in one direction in the wind and snow. But after I took a cautious look, I couldn't help but feel a little scared. Cold, there is a tomb forest, and the decaying tombstones record the past glory of the deceased.

Among them, on the tallest tombstone, stood a person, wrapped in the blood-colored aura of death, wearing a black robe with rusty gold trim, extremely luxurious, and holding a huge golden secret book filled with blood-colored light in his hand, which looked like a The young man from the human race had a face that was somewhat childish and clear, but his eyes were full of evil. The next moment, under my gaze, his name jumped out——

Introduction: One of the ten kings, the owner of the artifact Book of Death

…

He's actually one of the top ten kings? !

I shuddered suddenly. No wonder just one exploration mission was already S-level. A powerful king appeared in the Northern Territory. This was indeed a big event!

In his hand, the bloody book of death seemed... incredible!

"Prepare to sacrifice!"

Yun Qiong looked at the innocent people in the cage with a pair of evil eyes and smiled: "In the name of the God of Death, I am about to release the souls in the depths of purgatory and let them return to the human world to serve Lord Akashi. Come on, Sprinkle the territory of the dead with the blood of sacrifices, let the blood penetrate every inch of the resting place of the brave, and I will make them reborn!"

"Yes, sir!"

A group of alliance heavy infantry quickly stepped forward, opened the cage, and lifted each NPC out of the cage like a chicken, and then went straight to the depths of the tomb forest. The butcher knife fell, and a cloud of blood was sprayed on the dead earth. superior.

It's over, these NPCs are going to die!

I clenched my fists, but my reason told me that I must not act rashly. There are too many monsters here, and Yun Qiong is one of the ten kings. I am afraid he is only stronger than the Pardoner and Kemir. If I rush out now, I will only die in vain. It's better to endure it and see what Yun Qiong wants to do in the Northern Territory.

When the tomb was filled with blood and corpses were strewn on the ground, Yun Qiong finally slowly opened the book of death. Suddenly, wisps of blood-colored text rose up into the sky, like writhing demons. At the same time, he looked at The secret book chanted the incantation recorded in the Book of Death in a trembling voice: "O sleepless people, you have endured endless loneliness and suffering. Now, the finger of the God of Death has cut the long river between Yin and Yang. Enjoy death. At the moment of death, everything is just the beginning. Now, follow my command and wake up from the long river of the underworld. Your body and life will be dedicated to death, and you will gain eternal life... Wake up... Wake up... wake up... open your eyes and destroy everything in this mortal world..."

His face became ferocious, and he kept roaring, and wisps of death storms gathered around him, as if they were going to completely tear the ruins of the ancient city apart.

"Peng!"

Not far away, a stone tablet exploded, and then a bony arm stretched out from under the stone tablet. There were still some armor leaves on the arm. After the bony arm saw the light of day again, it madly absorbed the flesh and blood of the surrounding sacrifices. The corpses withered at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the blood and energy condensed around the bony arm, forming an arm full of the brilliance of the death mark. It was obvious at a glance that it was the kind of arm with infinite power. It felt like it was no problem to punch a giant elephant away.

"Hiss~~~"

Under the bony arm, the dead slowly crawled out of the soil, and the flesh and blood on his body continued to condense, and even the death energy condensed into blood-colored armor leaves covering his body, just like a resurrected dead warrior. And not only him, but also the dead in the surrounding tombs kept drilling out of the corroded land and seeing the light of day again.

Yunqiong's eyes were cold, and he laughed loudly: "You are all the most elite warriors of Mengzhong. Now that you have reappeared in the world, you will set off a huge wave and make the human race tremble. Hahahaha~~~ Those who try to go against Master Mingshi will be crushed like ants!"

Around, the dense army of the dead of Mengzhong knelt down one after another, shouting loudly: "Long live Master Yunqiong! Long live Master Yunqiong!"

I was stunned. Things seemed to be a bit serious. Yunqiong resurrected an extremely powerful Mengzhong army in the ancient city of Mengzhong with only one person and one book. How can this be? Whether this army attacks the Tower of Babel or the Dragon Domain, it will probably cause heavy losses to the Xia clan. Moreover, it seems that I can't stop all this from happening with my power.

"Ding!"

System prompt: Your exploration mission has been completed. Please return to the Dragon Domain alive. Once you die in battle, the mission will fail!

...

What does this mean? I can't use the return scroll?

I took out a scroll to return to the city and crushed it, but it was useless. The system prompted that I could only walk back to the Dragon Domain. Damn it!

The next second, something worse happened. An alliance heavy infantryman stared at me and suddenly saw something fishy. He shouted angrily: "A human spy sneaked in. Kill him!"

Suddenly, monsters came from all directions. Things are not good!

In the distance, Yunqiong looked at me with a disdainful look and sneered: "Armored soldiers from the Dragon Domain? Hey, interesting, Mingyuechi has been killed by so many people by me, but he still dares not repent and dares to send people. Come on, chop him into pieces."

"Kill!"

The sound of killing was everywhere, and the situation became very unfriendly to me.

Run for your life!

With a pull of the reins, the fighting spirit protected the body, the shield of glory was added, and he galloped at full speed to the south, but a group of infantrymen in front had formed a line of defense. Although these ancient soldiers were now dead, they seemed to still have some combat skills, tactics, battle formations and other strengths from their lifetime. The shield formation was strict, and long spears stabbed out one after another, which made people's scalps numb.

No matter what, charge!

"Bang!"

Relying on the powerful strength value, he rushed over and knocked two heavy infantrymen flying. At the same time, the Big Dipper Sword swept down from the air, and a wind god thorn "swished" knocked out a group of spearmen who were accumulating strength to burst out long spear skills. At the same time, the reins were pulled, and the hooves of the cold iron horse slipped on the snow, pulling out an arc of falling leaves. The crackling arrows behind him shot into the snow, and the word "miss" rose densely. This situation was simply too terrifying.

"Can you escape?"

The voice of Yunqiong came from the air. He stepped on the void, and the Book of Death opened automatically. As Yunqiong raised his hand, a scarlet talisman suddenly fell from the sky and landed around me. For a moment, I felt like I was in a sauna. I couldn't even describe how sour and refreshing that feeling was. With a "hiss", I was almost evaporated by the attack of the Book of Death!

"67781!"

Fortunately, there was no critical hit, otherwise I would have died!

I stepped back several steps with my horse and man, and didn't care about that anymore. I raised my hand and used a sacred revival, then teleported with the Tianyuan Fire Blade, and then charged forward with the flying cavalry. I raised my hand and aimed at a low wall in front of me. With a "pop", I shot out the Dragon God Poison Thorn, and then pulled him and his horse sideways, completing a displacement of nearly 160 yards in an instant.

"Spear, throw!"

A group of infantrymen threw their spears one after another.

I hurriedly pulled the reins to spur the Iron Horse to move, and I kept moving to avoid most of the spear thrusts. I could only take the ones I couldn't avoid. The more deadly threats came from the attacks of Yunqiong in the air, and the newly resurrected alliance generals who were flying at high speed on the ground, all of them were bosses above the ghost level!

"You're not dead yet? Take my Earth-Splitting Slash!"

I felt a heat behind me, and I was hit by an axe from a ghost-level boss. Both the man and the horse were knocked away. Just as I continued to rush forward with this force, a blood-colored light column fell from above my head. Yunqiong's another Death Book attack once again brought my blood back to below 50%. Coupled with the dense arrow attack, it was despairing!

"Dragon Demon Stab!"

"Flame Slash!"

"Clear Sword!"

"Glorious Slash!"

"Demon Breaking Triple Shot!"

Behind me, at least a dozen Ghost-level and Saint-level bosses were chasing me, and a variety of ancient skills burst out continuously, dazzling me. I dodged what I could, and used the shield wall to reduce the damage of what I couldn't. I rushed out of the city wall with 17% of my health left, and at the same time, I raised my hand and activated the Phoenix Bone Shield's special skill "Phoenix Bone Power", which restored 10% of my health every second for 25 seconds. Only then did I withstand the damage from a group of bosses, and I started Galloping and Stepping on the Wind to speed up and escape!
