Chapter 210 Accidental collision
The junction of the two countries.

A hundred miles away from the border city.

As the place where the Spider Kingdom and the Kingdom of the Undead have been fighting all year round, a large number of corpses and death energy gather here, and people call it the Land of Death.

Generally speaking, few people would appear here. At most, they would just pass by from the periphery and take a shortcut to the undead city opposite.

But today.

A well-equipped team of Undead went deep into it, came to an altar in the deepest part of the Land of Death, and found a group of Undead Mages who were setting up magic circles.

"How is it? How much more energy do you need to complete?"

The leading skeleton leader spoke in a muffled voice.

"Don't worry. The flesh and blood we collected during this period of time have already filled the last gap. We can start it directly when the time comes."

The necromancer was covered in a black robe, floating in the air, and his body made of black energy could be vaguely seen.

The Undead are different from other races. They don't just have skeletons. There are also liches, zombies, ghosts, corpse beasts and other groups.

They all have one common characteristic: they are more like spiritual creatures, with the body being just a carrier. Therefore, their lifespans are often very long, and they can even become close to immortality through reincarnation, which is the origin of the name "Undead".

Wherever there is death, the undead will be born.

In order to survive, many beings of other races are even willing to transform their souls into undead in order to prolong their lifespan, so they are not liked by other races.

"What a pity! No matter how smart they are, they will never guess that killing the caravans and provoking a war is just a cover for us."

Hearing the necromancer's answer, the skeleton leader sneered and looked at the bloody corpses piled in the center of the magic circle.

Now the rumors are spreading that due to internal divisions among the Undead Clan, the main warring faction is everywhere killing the teams traveling to and from the Spider Demon Kingdom in an attempt to provoke a war.

But don't know.

This is just a cover-up for them.

Their real purpose is actually those corpses, especially those containing flesh and blood.

"The Spider Demons probably think that as long as they block the magic stone veins, they can stop our plan. They are so naive."

The necromancer in the air waved his hand, and the corpses below turned into pools of blood and merged into the nodes of the magic circle.

All of a sudden.

Layers of blood-red halos lit up and spread outward, covering the entire depths of the Land of Death in the blink of an eye, almost covering an area of ​​ten kilometers around it.

"Let them start preparing. When it gets dark tonight, the plane barriers will be at their weakest. The blessing of the God of Death will spread to every corner of the world!"

There was fanaticism in the necromancer's voice, and the power of death continued to pour into the magic circle.

The skeleton leader turned and left, taking the team outside to arrange things in case the spider demons discovered their plan and came to sabotage it.

tonight.

It will be a night like no other!
……

Just when the Undead were busy mobilizing their troops.

Rhodes and his companions, who left the Spider City and rushed to the Kingdom of the Undead, have now stepped into the gray land again and arrived at a foggy area dozens of kilometers away.

"What the hell is this place?"

Rhodes sat on Kaba's back and ran all the way. Looking at the identical terrain around him, he regretted it.

Yes.

he's lost.

Because he was too confident, he did not follow the Chamber of Commerce team this time.

The result can be imagined.

He didn't even know where he was.

"This is a lousy place, and everything looks the same. If I had known, I wouldn't have rushed out with those teams."

Rhodes cursed and ran in the fog for a long time. Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore and stopped on a slope.

"Okay, take a break first and don't run too far."

"Yeah!"

"Roar!"

Hearing his words, the little creatures cheered and quickly ran off to play and explore nearby.

They don't care whether they are lost or not. They are curious about everything around them. From time to time, they pick up a stone to look at it, or dig a hole in the soil to see what is inside, or simply run around on the flat land.

It’s like the energy will never run out.

Rhodes was not idle either. He stood on the slope, looking around from the height of the terrain, trying to identify the direction.

However, to his disappointment, the surroundings were still gray and the fog was even thicker than before, with a hint of dark red. He had no idea where he was.

If he continued to get lost, he would have to give up this magic puppet and go back to the Dream Forest to find a new carrier.

rustle~
Just as he was thinking about it, Xiaobai poked his head out from the hood and looked at the distance with a vigilant look on his face.

"What's wrong? Did you make a new discovery?"

Xiaobai, who inherited the Dream Weaver's legacy, has mental power far beyond that of his peers, so his perception is naturally not weaker.

Rhodes followed its gaze and looked into the distance, just in time to see the little creatures running back from afar.

"Yeah!"

The little creature sat on Kaba's back, calling out loudly and looking behind it, as if something was chasing them.

Little Stone even grabbed Kaba's tail and swung it in the air, looking very panicked.

"What good things have you done?"

Rhodes didn't know whether to laugh or cry at these troublemakers. Looking behind them, he saw a large group of skeleton zombies surrounding them.

[White Bone Skeleton lv27] [Bronze Bone Skeleton lv35]

【Bronze Skeleton lv34】

Ok?
Seeing the information in front of him, Rhodes was stunned.

He can actually see the level information of these skeletons?
Logically speaking, he can only see information about inanimate objects, and undead creatures are considered a kind of soul, so he should not be able to see them.

Could it be that.

These skeletons are the same as the black beast.

Is the pollution in the dream forest really related to death?
Rhodes' eyes lit up. It seemed that he was right to come here. Maybe he could find key information about forest pollution.

"Let's go over and have a look."

After saying that, Rhodes took Xiaobai to meet them.

When the little creatures that were originally running for their lives saw this, they seemed to have found their backbone and slammed on the brakes, shouting arrogantly at the group of skeletons that were chasing them.

He looks like a bully who relies on the power of others.

Rhode smiled and said, "Okay, let's get rid of them first. Since there are so many undead creatures, there might be some treasures inside."

These are just the lowest level of undead and do not have independent consciousness, so their combat power is not very high.

Rhodes picked up the staff and raised his hand. Shields were put on the little creatures one by one. Then the harvest magic lit up, and a large group of tree guards were summoned, and they began to clear the skeletons that rushed up.

"Roar!!"

Suddenly, a roar sounded.

Behind the group of skeletons, a giant zombie beast that looked like a Qiongqi appeared and rushed towards them recklessly.

[Iron Skin Corpse Beast lv40]

It turned out to be a fourth-level undead.

Rhodes was slightly surprised, but not panicked at all.

As he raised his staff, the cultivation magic lit up, instantly covering the seven or eight treeman guards in front.

With the bonus of thirty times the growth rate, his body, which was originally only one meter tall, began to grow rapidly, and pieces of growth information popped up in front of him.

[Tree Guard level increased, lv37→lv38]

[Tree Guard level increased, lv38→lv39]

[Tree Guard level increased, lv39→lv40]

In the blink of an eye.

Under his training, the Treeman Guardian, which was originally only level 37, broke through the level 40 barrier and reached the fourth level.

This was a trick that Rhodes discovered after he was upgraded. The treeman guards summoned by the third-level magic could continuously improve their levels through training.

The only pity is that after the Treeman Guardian reaches the fourth level, the magic power required is too huge, and the upgrade speed becomes much slower.

But it’s just a fourth-level skeleton, and these fourth-level treeman guards are more than enough.

"Go ahead, kill it for me!"

As soon as Rhodes finished speaking, the treeman guards that had been upgraded to the fourth level rushed towards the iron-skinned corpse beast like giant war trees.

There was a loud bang, and the corpse beast that was coming with such force just now was knocked away in an instant.

As soon as he got up from the ground, he was beaten up by the burly men who surrounded him and he had no power to resist.

"Sure enough, after the professional magic effect is increased by thirty times, the combat power of the summoned creatures has also increased."

Rhodes was overjoyed. With the help of professional magic, he was not afraid even if he faced a fourth-level enemy alone.

There was no point in talking to these skeletons about martial ethics. While assisting the little creatures, I worked hard to cultivate the remaining tree guards.

They pushed forward like this, slowly advancing towards the depths, and night fell quietly as they advanced.

"Huh? What is that?"

After an unknown amount of time, Rhodes was attracted by a bright light in the distance.

Although it was already night, the light in front of him made it seem as bright as day, which immediately aroused his strong curiosity.

Come closer and take a look.

It was discovered that there were a large number of undead gathered here, holding some ceremony around a giant magic circle.

and many more.

Magic circle?
Rhodes was startled, and suddenly remembered what the Spider Demon Princess had said before.

Could it be that he was so lucky that he just happened to find the location where the Undead had set up their magic circle?
Is this even possible?

Something is wrong!
Rhodes suddenly reacted.

According to the Spider Princess, the Undead's magic formation should still be lacking a lot of magic stones. Why does it look like it's almost completed?

Is the information wrong?

"let's start."

Without giving him a chance to think, the leading necromancer slowly rose into the air with his hands open, and the surging death energy continued to be injected into the magic circle.

The skeletons nearby looked up and opened their mouths as if they were summoned. The power of their souls surged wildly and gathered towards the location of the magic circle.

The spectacular scene shocked Rhodes. The Undead were actually using this method to activate the magic circle. Even if the Spider Demons received the news now, it would probably be too late.

As if in response to his thoughts, there was a loud "boom", the energy of the magic circle was finally accumulated, and a huge beam of light shot up into the sky.

It immediately broke through the fog of the Land of Death, completely illuminating the sky of the entire gray border, causing countless people to look up.
