Chapter 86: The Shrouded Corpse General
On a yellow mound of earth, three tall figures, wrapped tightly in gray-white gauze, were wandering here like ghosts, as if they could not leave.

"The deathly aura here is so strong that these three zombie generals can actually come out and move around in the middle of the day." Xu Mu looked around and said with a serious expression.

The undead can usually only move at night, or appear when the death energy is thick enough to block out all light... but under the sunlight, it is difficult for the death energy to condense into shape.

But this mound of earth was extremely strange. The deathly aura on it was so thick that it swallowed up all the light, making everything around it seem dim.

In contrast, the dead air in other places is relatively thin and scattered, forming a sharp contrast with the dead air on the mound.

"The deathly aura here is unusual. It should be related to the tomb of the undead underground." Lingling said.

The accumulation of dead air usually has a reason. Within a radius of several miles, there is no other possible reason except the tomb of the dead under the mound.

Xu Mu looked around to make sure there were no corpses left behind, then said to the three girls beside him, "I'll deal with this shrouded corpse first. The two of you work together to contain the other two, and at the same time clear out the nearby slave undead."

"Lingling, find a safe place to watch the show from a distance. Don't get involved in the fight."

Ding Yumian frowned slightly and asked with a hint of worry: "The strength of these three cloth-wrapped corpse generals is close to the level of great generals. Coupled with the characteristics of undead creatures, can you handle them alone?"

"I have fully mastered the intermediate level of thunder, and I can kill it instantly with one thunderbolt!" Xu Mu patted his chest and said confidently.

With the blessing of natural talent and spirit seed, the magical power of the third-level thunderbolt is almost equivalent to the high-level first-level magic. For an undead that is close to but not yet at the level of a great war general, it is completely sufficient to instantly destroy it.

"Shh!"

Suddenly, two gray-white strips of cloth, as light and flowing as Xiaolongnu's sleeves, flew towards Xu Mu's face with a sharp force.

But when the gray-white cloth strip flew to mid-air, a strong stream of water suddenly condensed into a solid shield, trying to block its way.

The defensive capability of this water shield was obviously not enough to block the attack of the gray-white cloth strips. After a brief confrontation, the water shield was broken by the cloth strips, and the cloth strips continued to attack Xu Mu at the same speed.

Xu Mu became alert the moment the gray-white cloth strip was about to fly over, and immediately took evasive measures, quickly picking up Lingling and retreating more than ten meters away.

Ding Yumian and Yu Qiuyue, as mid-level mages, both possessed excellent reaction speed and perception ability, and they also retreated quickly.

The water shield just now was the basic water magic cast by Yu Qiuyue, and she retreated quickly afterwards.

"How can it detect us even from this far away?"

Xu Mu frowned. The place where they were just now was at least a hundred meters away from the hill. Moreover, there was plenty of sunlight there and the death energy could not gather there. It should not arouse the vigilance of this cloth-wrapped corpse general.

"Be careful, these Shroudmen's vision is intact and they can see us!"

Ding Yumian keenly caught the emotional changes of the shrouded corpse general before and after he discovered Xu Mu, and immediately reminded him.

"Swish!" As soon as Ding Yumian finished speaking, several gray-white cloth strips shot towards Xu Mu and the others. The speed, accuracy and strength of the attack were extremely fierce.

From Xu Mu's perspective, the scene seemed like when he just poked his head out in a shooting game and was hit by an enemy sniper who accurately fired an RPG rocket.

Xu Mu was not a rookie either. He decisively cast a fifth-level thunder magic, condensing an extended thunder chain. With a flick of his wrist, the thunder chain lashed towards the gray and white cloth strips like a whip.

A lightning chain was entangled with three gray-white cloth strips, and at the same time, three more cloth strips were approaching rapidly. Xu Mu was not in a hurry. He quickly cast a new thunder seal with his other hand, which turned into a chain and accurately pulled it towards the gray-white cloth strips that were flying towards him.

"Oh my god, what kind of magic is this chain? I've never seen it before."

Yu Qiuyue stared with her eyes wide open while commanding her Flame Blood Falcon to spray out flames.

Fire was very effective in restraining the undead, second only to light magic. The raging flames spurted out, and the moment they came into contact with the gray-white cloth, the cloth quickly struggled to return to its original form as if it had encountered an electric current.

"This is a thunder seal. Don't you see that the effect of the chain is that of a fifth-level thunder seal?" Xu Mu explained while casting space magic.

In an instant, a silver three-dimensional diamond-shaped space grid appeared, and its internal fluctuations were strong. Then, the gravity in the front area began to increase significantly, increasing by more than ten times in a short period of time.

The strip of cloth that had already retreated halfway was immediately held down by gravity and could no longer escape.

Seeing this, the Flame-Desire Blood Falcon flew into the air without hesitation, spewing scorching flames from its mouth, burning the gray-white cloth fiercely.

A sea of ​​fire suddenly formed, and a large number of slave-level undead spirits sensed this blazing scene, and seemed to be attracted by it, and naturally stepped into the flames.

Low-level undead will be attracted by flames. Just ignite a sea of ​​fire and these slave undead will be drawn into the sea of ​​fire and will walk into it without hesitation.

Even if they are burned to ashes and the undead crystals are melted, they will not retreat from the flames.

Many demon hunting teams in the ancient capital usually have two or three fire magicians. Their existence is mainly due to their remarkable effect in clearing out the undead.

Especially when fire magic and plant magic complement each other, the team is like an efficient monster-killing machine. With a few soul vessels for collecting spirits, they can easily earn huge income without taking much action throughout the night.

Unfortunately, the manufacture of Revenant Vessels requires Undead Mages, and Undead Mages in the country are even rarer than Space Mages. This leads to a scarcity of Revenant Vessels. Even if ordinary mid-level mages have money, they have no channels to purchase Revenant Vessels.

With the death of many slave undead souls, their residual souls condensed into a weak soul stream, which continuously flowed into the undead soul vessel in his hand, which made Xu Mu secretly happy.

This ancient capital is really an excellent copy for brushing essence and residual soul. Next time when he is short of essence to upgrade the star level, he must go to the ancient capital to brush the undead!
"Whose lightning seal is in chain form! If it weren't for the electric arc, I would have thought you were an ice mage!" Yu Qiuyue retorted dissatisfiedly.

"Let's not discuss this for now. Let your summoned beast expand the fire and clear out these slave undead first. Then we will go in and take care of those three cloth-wrapped corpse generals!" Xu Mu said.

The area filled with the thick aura of death was vast, and the surrounding undead groups kept rushing towards the raging sea of ​​fire. The three cloth-wrapped corpses that had launched the attack earlier had already retreated after their gray-white cloth strips were engulfed by the flames.
