Chapter 178: The Aura of the Dead

"It's okay, I've destroyed it with magic." An Fei smiled.

"The Necromancer can see everything happening around the puppet! An Fei, you don't understand, we have been exposed." Riska's expression became nervous, and she stood up and looked forward.

“We are not exposed yet.”

"How are you sure?" Riska asked in surprise.

"This is a long way to say it. Let's eat something first. When I have free time, I will say it to you slowly."

The subconscious intention in An Fei's words was very clear. Everyone had not exposed it yet. He didn't want to say the specific reason for the time being. Perhaps it was because of his long-term trust in An Fei, neither Susanna nor Risca continued to ask questions, and his expression became relaxed.

After eating some food, An Fei and others practiced for a while, and the sun finally rose from the east. The night wind did not have much effect on the rotten smell that permeated the forest. The sun could immediately drive away the unclean things. As the sun grew higher and higher, the light became stronger and stronger, and the rotten smell in the forest quickly dissipated most of the rotten smell.

Riska took a long breath and a little bit of pleasure appeared on her face: "It's a miracle that I wasn't smoky yesterday!"

"You are still lacking in exercise." An Fei smiled.

"I still lack exercise?" Riska shouted dissatisfiedly. He thought his experiences these days could be described as ups and downs. Compared with his previous life, it was extremely exciting and dangerous. If this is not called exercise, then what can be called exercise?

“Have you been in a cell?”

"No!"

"You will know what the real hell is after entering the cell! The air in the cell is very turbid, and there is a lot of shit and urine everywhere. Every step you walk there, you have to step on someone else's or your own shit and urine, and you can't find a clean place. You can catch dozens of lice at your own hair. There are rare things in there, because for prisoners, catching a mouse is equivalent to getting a delicious meal. No one is willing to let the mouse go, and the lice caught from your head and body can also be eaten." An Fei is not talking about a modern prison, but a portrayal of a medieval prison as seen from books.

"Not it true?" Riska was terrified when he heard it. Although he was a civilian, he was very lucky. He was able to become a disciple of the great magician Thor when he was young. He had never seen these dark scenes.

"You'll know when you've been to the prison."

"How do you know so clearly? An Fei, have you been to prison?"

"No, I heard from others."

"It must be nonsense!" Riska shook his head and said, "A normal person will go crazy if he stays in that environment for a day. As you say, there will be no criminal who will come out of prison alive."

"Riska, you don't know how strong a person's will to survive is!" An Fei said lightly: "Even in an environment that is much worse than a prison, some people will grit their teeth and survive!"

"I don't believe it!"

"If you do go to jail, you get it."

"An Fei, aren't you cursing me?" Riska smiled bitterly: "I don't want to go to such a ghost place!"

"An Fei is telling the truth." Susanna suddenly inserted. Her face seemed very complicated at this moment: "Riska, you have never seen those nobles' private death rows. I once saw a person whose body was worn on more than a dozen iron chains and soaked in the water for decades. When his body surfaced, you can even see his body covered with maggots, but he is still alive."

"Susanna, stop talking!" Riska shouted: "I didn't seem to mess with you yesterday, are you? Why are you all here to scare me?!"

Susanna turned her head and looked at the sunshine falling in the woods, then changed the topic: "An Fei, should we go?"

An Fei secretly blamed Reska for taking random conversations in his heart. He wanted to learn more about Susanna's passing, but was forcibly interrupted by Reska. But the matter had already happened. It would be not easy to talk from Susanna. An Fei slowly stood up on the branch: "Okay. Let's go!"

An Fei and the others rested for a night, but the zombies did not rest. However, the traces left by the zombies were too obvious. The corpse gas, which was like slime, was still coiling around the rotten land, and had pointed out the direction for An Fei.

This time, An Fei seemed to have lost his vigilance and was moving rapidly in the forest with Susanna. Riska almost couldn't keep up with An Fei's speed with floating technique. Riska warned her. An Fei smiled mysteriously but did not explain anything. It made Riska complain in her heart.

Before reaching an unknown mountain, An Fei waved his hand to slow down Susanna and Riska. In fact, there was no need for An Fei to make gestures, Susanna and Riska felt something was wrong.

At the other end of the mountain, there is a trembling undead aura. What is inconsistent with the basic principles of magic fluctuations is that such strong magic fluctuations should be transmitted hundreds of miles away, but they only sensed the fluctuations when they walked closer.

"An Fei, they have a high-level necromancer!" Riska whispered. Although he could not reach the other end of the mountain with a loud voice, he subconsciously tightened his voice: "The necromancer must have released a large magic barrier, blocking the aura of the necromancer!"

"It's your turn, Riska." An Fei said slowly: "The advanced necromancer will not notice the magic fluctuations caused by the Eye of the Sky, right?"

"No." Riska said as he released the Eye of the Sky. Although he was running to death on the mountain, it seemed that the nameless mountain peak was right in front of him, and in fact there was still more than twenty miles away. With the nameless mountain peak as the coordinates, Riska only repeated it twice and accurately calibrated the focus of the Eye of the Sky.

An Fei was already well prepared, but when he saw the scene on the other side of the mountain, he was still extremely shocked! I don’t know what kind of barrier it was, An Fei only saw that the sun was blocked outside the barrier, and there was a very obvious boundary between the sun and barrier, which was constantly evaporated white mist, and the back of the entire mountain was covered by mist. Through the sometimes thick and sometimes faint mist, An Fei could clearly see the dense group of zombies gathered below. After a general glance, the number had exceeded a thousand! If all the zombies were transformed from mercenaries, then there would definitely be more than one mercenary alliance to be killed!

In addition to zombies, there were more than a dozen people wearing black robes and walking in normal walking postures walking around. In the middle of the zombie group, they were shrouded in a very thick black mist. The sky eyes alone could not see the scene inside.

"An Fei. I need a rest." Risca said with difficulty.

"What?" An Fei was stunned.

"God knows what barrier it is, I can't hold on anymore!" Riska relaxed his spirit while speaking, and the scene that the Eye of the Sky quickly blurred. In the end, he could only see the thick and light white mist at that time.

"You don't know what kind of barrier it is?"

"I have no research on necromancer magic." Riska smiled bitterly, "And I have never fought with the necromancer. Don't ask me, maybe Susanna can understand."

"I don't know either." Susanna shook her head.

An Fei pondered for a moment: "Riska, tell me, those undead mages gathered so many zombies together. What exactly do they want to do?"

"There are many explanations. One is to borrow the zombie's undead energy to turn this place into a cemetery that even the priest of light cannot wash."

"Ceffs? What's the benefit of this for the Necromancer?"

"There are many benefits, An Fei, remember the Bemon beast summoned by Hagen with Bemon's skeleton? If Bemon's skeleton falls into the hands of the necromancer, they can summon a white bone Bemon in the cemetery. The Bemon summoned by Hagen can only exist for a short time, and the Bone Bemon is like a ghost dragon, which is immortal dark creature!"

"Is there any other explanation?"

"They have high-level necromancers, maybe they want to create one or even a few killing zombies. However, this possibility is not great. Killing zombies is difficult to control, and high-level necromancers may not be able to succeed."

“Is there any more?”

"Or they want to collect a large amount of the undead spirit energy, create the undead spirit magic crystal, and make reserves for the inheritance of the undead spirit mage."

“Inheritance?”

"Every necromancer's advancement requires a large amount of necromancer's energy to infuse. As long as there are enough necromancer's magic crystals, they will even..."

"An Fei, I feel something is wrong!" Susanna suddenly said, "Listen!"

An Fei was stunned. He waved his hand quickly and jumped onto the ancient tree first. The three of them hid in the canopy to hold their breath, listening carefully to the movements around him.

There were indeed sounds of branches breaking in the forest, but the sound was very weak, probably hundreds of meters away from them.

An Fei gestured to Riska with his eyes. Riska quietly released the Eye of the Sky. A team of seven, eight necromancers and more than twenty zombies had left the barrier. They were walking far away. Zombies always rushed around when they walked. They didn't know how to avoid it. Anyway, they couldn't feel pain. Let the branches and thorns pass by them, and the sound Susanna heard was made by them.

"What do these necromancers want to do? Are you going to sneak attack mercenaries again? Do you think there are not enough zombie lands?" Riska smiled bitterly.

"Why don't they go out at night? The combat effectiveness of zombies at night is much stronger than during the day!" Susanna asked in a low voice.
