Chapter 83: Appeasing the Blood Falcon

[Warm reminder: Don’t breach the contract, otherwise Dean Xiao will get angry! ]

"Do you know that we have to give a portion of our harvest this time to Ning Wanxing?" Lingling raised her head and looked at Xu Mu.

"I don't know!" Xu Mu shook his head. Dean Xiao never mentioned this to him.

"The 10% of the harvest that you give to Ning Wanxing can be deducted from me when the time comes." Xu Mu thought for a while and said that the totem vessel that Dean Xiao gave him was priceless and must be much more valuable than what was dug out from the tomb.

The matter of the Tomb of the Dead has not been figured out yet, but he has already gained the most benefits.

If he were to take another portion from the other three people and give it to Ning Wanxing at this time, it would be really unkind of him.

The reason why Dean Xiao didn't say anything was probably because of this idea. Isn't a totem vessel worth less than their 10% harvest?

Lingling nodded, and just told him not to deduct her share, and turned to the next page of the diary.

[The entrance to the Tomb of the Dead is under a mound ten kilometers south of Xianchi. There are three shrouded corpses guarding there! Juniors, be careful. If you can't defeat them, ask Dean Xiao to call others.]

[If you can't even defeat the corpse general, don't even think about investigating that tomb, because you are not worthy! ]

[Don't stay in the tomb for too long, stay for one night at most, and you must leave before the second night, otherwise you will be cursed. This is the reason for my death. The third page is my will. Please help me pass it to my sister and tell her that my parents and I hope she can study healing magic well. Mage Hunter is not suitable for her! ]

There is not much recorded in the diary, just a few short sentences.

"This page is for you."

Lingling turned to the third page, glanced at it, and after confirming that there was only a will and no other hidden information in it, she handed the diary to Ning Wanxing.

"Thank you!" Ning Wanxing took the diary, sat in the corner of the sofa and read it carefully. Tears blurred her eyes almost instantly, and big tears rolled down.

Xu Mu and the three girls were very tactful and did not disturb Ning Wanxing. They went to the backyard of the house together and began to discuss the next itinerary arrangements.

"Can we set off now?" Xu Mu looked up at the sun and roughly estimated the time, which was probably around two o'clock in the afternoon.

"The Land of the Dead is full of dangers at night, and our speed is limited. I'm afraid we won't be able to reach Xianchi within half a day." Ding Yumian shook his head and said with a serious expression.

Xu Mu knew best how dangerous it was outside the city wall when night fell. He had seen it last night. The undead were as densely packed as the surging waves. One after another fell, another came for them. It was just like a fucking zombie crisis. There was no way they could all be killed!

"There is a place called Yangyang Village near Xianyang. If we can get there before dark, we can reach the location of the tomb of the dead the next day."

Lingling sat on the bench and pointed at the map displayed on the computer screen on her lap.

"Dangerous Village, good idea." Xu Mu nodded, turned to Yu Qiuyue and asked, "Qiuyue, can your Flame Desire Blood Falcon fly to Yangyang Village in half a day?"

It is July now, the days are longer and the nights are shorter. At this time of year, it usually gets dark in the ancient capital around eight o'clock in the evening.

Considering that the Flame Desire Blood Falcon is not affected by the terrain when flying, they should be able to reach Yangyang Village before eight o'clock. But to be on the safe side, they still have to ask Yu Qiuyue, the owner of the Flame Desire Blood Falcon.

“Little Falcon, I’m not sure about this place.” Yu Qiuyue hesitated for a moment and said, “I just discovered that the dead air here will make Little Falcon very irritable. Staying here for a long time may make it go berserk and lose control…”

Yu Qiuyue's words were like a sudden bolt from the blue, leaving Xu Mu speechless.

Xu Mu rubbed his brows. It turned out that the bomb in this four-person team was not only Ding Yumian, but also Yu Qiuyue’s summoned beast!
A controllable bomb and an uncontrollable bomb!
"My mental magic should be able to calm the Flame Desire Blood Falcon. Qiuyue, why don't you summon the Flame Desire Blood Falcon and give it a try." Ding Yumian suggested softly.

"no problem!"

Yu Qiuyue nodded, and she stretched out her right hand. Transparent stars were like pearls strung together, quickly connecting to form a brilliant star track. Then, a huge dimensional door suddenly opened in the air, and a three-story-high red giant bird flew out of it. It flapped its wings and soared, and finally landed on the ground, accompanied by a violent storm-like airflow.

"Your Blood Falcon's aura is much stronger than last time. Is it about to reach the advanced stage?"

Xu Mu carefully observed the Flame Desire Blood Falcon for a few times and found that its aura had been significantly enhanced compared to last time, almost reaching the edge of the advanced stage.

"You have a good eye!" Yu Qiuyue gently stroked the beak of the Flame Desire Blood Falcon and said with a hint of sadness: "It's a pity that the last time he was carrying out a commissioned mission, he encountered a demon that was secretly causing trouble and was seriously injured. Otherwise, the little falcon should have entered the advanced stage long ago."

"The concentration of death energy is not high during the day, so it won't have much impact on the little falcon in a short period of time." Yu Qiuyue communicated with Yan Yuxue Falcon in her mind, then looked at Ding Yumian and said.

"It's up to you."

"I'll try my best." Ding Yumian nodded.

"Lingyi—comfort!"

Ding Yumian folded her hands in front of her chest. As the magic energy slowly flowed, the star tracks gradually connected. At that moment, it seemed as if transparent water waves were gently rippling and slowly spreading around her.

An invisible ripple of tranquil lake water slowly spread out, and Ding Yumian's mental ripples were also transmitted to Yanyuxue Falcon.

In an instant, the blazing flames in the Flame Desire Blood Falcon's eyes suddenly stagnated for a moment, then slowly shrank, becoming stable and calm.

Just like a weapon in the hands of a craftsman, after experiencing a fierce battle, it gradually returns from the violent attack state to a calm standby state.

"How is it? Is the mental magic useful?" Lingling asked anxiously.

Yu Qiuyue closed her eyes, feeling the inner fluctuations of Yanyuxue Falcon at the moment. After a moment, she opened her eyes and said excitedly: "It is very useful. Xiao Falcon is very calm now! There is no need to worry about the erosion of death energy within an hour."

"In that case, let's set off now." Xu Mu suggested.

Everyone packed their bags and prepared to leave Ning Wanxing's residence.

Summoned beasts, contracted beasts and magicians are prohibited from flying in the city. If you want to fly in the city, you must obtain a flight permit issued by the military.

They didn't have a flying permit, so they could only go outside the city to ride the Flame Desire Blood Falcon. Yu Qiuyue waved her hand and sent the Flame Desire Blood Falcon back to the summoning plane. Then, the four of them headed towards the south city wall.

Ten minutes after leaving, Ning Wanxing's voice came from behind them.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute!"

Hearing this, the four of them stopped and turned around with a puzzled look on their faces, looking at Ning Wanxing, who was panting and sweating. They couldn't help but feel confused: What is this kid doing following us?

"Is there anything else?" Xu Mu asked puzzledly.

"I want to go to the Tomb of the Dead with you!" Ning Wanxing wiped the sweat from his face and looked at Xu Mu with a firm face.

"No!" Xu Mu refused without even thinking, then turned around and left with the three women.

A wizard who has awakened magic for less than a year and has no experience in monster hunting follows them to the Tomb of the Undead. This is simply seeking death!

Even though the other party was a rare healing mage, Xu Mu did not intend to let her go on the adventure with him.
