"The rain has finally weakened. Such a rainy day is not a satisfactory weather for traveling. If the clouds are overcast and there is no sunshine, the undead can move around on the ground..."

Chen Lei stood at the entrance of a cave relatively close to the ground, holding a telescope in his hand and observing the undead corpse soldiers emerging from the ground in the distance.

There was a heavy downpour last night, with lightning and thunder. The entire kingdom of the undead was washed away by the rain, and a lot of corrupted black mud was surging. The undead were dancing wildly in the rain.

In the early hours of the morning, probably before three o'clock, they encountered a bloody battle.

First, we encountered a large group of burrowing imps, traveling through tunnels extending in all directions.

Then they encountered a warrior-level blood beast headed by a red-blooded white wolf inside the hill.

In the end, they even encountered a silver-moon blood python with a mid-level commander, close to the grand commander level. Their magic energy was exhausted and the entire army was almost annihilated.

Fortunately, Xu Huang turned the tide at the last moment, not only killing the ferocious Silver Moon Blood Python, but also saving the captain Chen Lei's contracted beast, the Iron Armored Bear Laifu.

About four hours had passed since the thrilling bloody battle. Chen Lei and the six of them had all taken recovery potions and meditated to replenish the nearly depleted magic energy in the soul sea.

Now that their magic energy has recovered a lot, and the rain has changed from heavy downpour to drizzle, their vision has not been greatly affected.

Not long ago, they had a simple breakfast, which was the roasted snake meat of the Silver Moon Blood Python. The majestic energy contained in the body of the commander-level demon allowed them to quickly recover their physical strength.

"Ouch~~~~"

Xu Qing, the blue-armored dragon, has also woken up. Its slightly bulging abdomen that was originally caused by swallowing the flesh and blood of the Silver Moon Blood Python has been reduced a lot.

Its face was radiant, and the slender scar on its neck left in the fight with the red-blooded white wolf had stopped bleeding and healed.

The scales on his body seemed to be more shiny than when he set off from the ancient capital, and his body looked strong and powerful.

The originally thin dragon power on its body seemed to have strengthened a lot, giving Xu Huang and others a sense of invisible oppression.

Maybe, as Captain Chen Lei said, it is about to advance. He will return to the ancient capital to sell those precious materials and essences, and the profit should be enough for him to pay off his debts and help Xu Qing advance.

As for Xu Huang's own high-level barrier, we can only see whether the next process goes smoothly.

The armored war bear is the most reliable combat force of their team, but the Silver Moon Blood Python has seriously injured it. It is currently recuperating in the contract space and cannot go into battle for the time being.

You can only rely on the captain more. He is a master hunter. Although he has just been promoted, in addition to the summoning system, he is also a high-level mage of the thunder system and has considerable strength.

As long as they don't encounter large-scale undead zombies or zombie-level monsters, they should be safe, but Xu Huang feels that there is no conflict between the two.

If they encounter thousands of undead zombies, they must have entered the territory of a certain corpse minister. If they encounter a corpse minister-level combat power, they will definitely use the zombie sea tactic to drag down the six of them.

The targets they entrusted this time were several corpse generals that appeared in the outer areas of the red zone. Their strength ranged from medium corpse generals to large corpse generals. There would definitely be hundreds of undead corpse soldiers guarding them, making it difficult to succeed.

Xu Huang and the others finally confirmed that the food, magic potions and precious materials in their packages were intact. Xu Huang also carefully checked the firefly-like spirits in his soul vessels, and then set off to move on.

…………

"Oh my god, why are we operating in the land of the dead after the rain? Look at these muddy swamps, we may fall into it at any time!!"

Gu Wei slowly pulled out his foot that was stuck in the black mud. If he struggled hard, he might sink deeper. Now his pants were splashed with black mud.

"Follow the road fixed by Damao, otherwise you will fall into the swamp, so don't dwell on it and concentrate on walking through it..."

Duan Hu lowered his head and followed Pu Xun and Qin Damao in the lead, looking left and right from time to time to see if there were any undead spirits emerging.

The clouds were overcast, and the sunlight was nowhere to be found. Without sunlight to dissipate, the thick dead air did not dissipate much. The air was filled with a putrid smell, which made them somewhat uncomfortable.

If it weren't for the fact that the undead also have biological clocks, they would hate to be active during the day, even during the day when there is not much sunlight. If they are not hungry, they can just sleep soundly in their own soil.

Qin Damao released the heavy brilliance of the earth element in his hands. He was strengthening the muddy soil under his feet. The soil contained the night rain. Pu Xun was a water mage. He was responsible for clearing the accumulated water and reducing the burden on his teammates.

If it is just a small section of soil, it will be effortless for an intermediate level three earth mage.

But Qin Damao had to deal with a long journey. He had only walked a few hundred meters, and he felt that he had consumed more magic energy than releasing an intermediate rock barrier.

"We try to reduce the consumption of magic energy as much as possible. If it is an area with relatively shallow sedimentation, just walk there. Don't use Damao's earth magic energy as a last resort. We still have to deal with those troublesome undead..."

Chen Lei said in a low voice, and he asked Pu Xun to take out seven pieces of gray garlic from the package, one for each person, and told them to eat them.

Gray garlic is extremely rare, more precious than gold, and cannot be grown. They mostly grow in places where the undead gather, relying on the flesh of the dead as nutrients.

Only people from Weiju Village know how to pick it, and the quantity is very limited every year. Pu Xun is a real Weiju Villager, and his father and brother are both the village chiefs of Yan Village, so he can get some gray garlic from the village.

Eating gray garlic was not a pleasant experience, and Gu Wei was the most resistant. He said that he would never eat something that tasted like garlic, and his tone was firm and unyielding.

As a result, Duan Hu directly slapped the piece of gray garlic on his hand into Gu Wei's mouth. He swallowed it wholeheartedly, then bent over and retched.

"Gray garlic, can eating it cover up the smell of living people on your body?"

Xu Huang looked at the gray thing in his hand, which looked like a sweet potato and a bit like a large garlic. It should look crisper.

King Mo Bi immediately vomited it and cursed a string of curse words, but Xu Huang could more or less guess how peculiar the smell was.

"When I first read the Ancient Capital Chapter, why did I want to die and try how unpalatable gray garlic is? Now that I really have the chance, I have to eat it to avoid the undead. I hope I can hold it back..."

The corner of Xu Huang's mouth twitched, and he saw that Gu Wei was still bending over and retching. Except for Captain Chen Lei and Pu Xun, who looked as if they had come over, and their expressions remained unchanged, Qin Damao and Duan Hu also turned blue and covered their noses and swallowed forcefully.

"Pfft! This smells like stinky socks stuffed with a bunch of moldy vegetables, thrown into the sewers flowing with sewage, then washed out on the outdoor platform to be exposed to the sun, and then mixed with stinky tofu for secondary fermentation.

The stench!!!”

Xu Huang's face turned from red to white, from white to green, from green to black, and then from black to purple. He covered his mouth and resisted the urge to vomit.

If he spits it out, it will be wasted. There is no way he can eat the food he spits out again... No, it makes me want to throw up just thinking about it!!

The face of Xu Qing, the blue-armored Xilong, covered with hard dragon scales, was also frightened. Its golden pupils and bloody mouth were wide open, and its burly body was trembling.

How unpalatable is this? The old man who has always been resistant to dark dishes actually showed such an expression.

It turns out that he often eats Xiaoqi's cooking. Those terrifying dishes that completely test the limits of human physiology can be eaten by the old man with a smile on his face. Even the plate is as clean as if it has been washed...

Although every time when his sister went out to play contentedly, the old man would hold his stomach and crawl into the toilet howling like a fox and a wolf. When he came out, he felt like his soul was gone.

Because I have a sister who likes to cook. No matter how strictly she follows the recipe, the final dish always emits black smoke and seems to have a looming skull.

Over the years, Xu Huang, an old man, has shown tenacious vitality and amazing digestion, thanks to his sister who loves to cook dark dishes.

Xu Qing shudders every time he sees those horrific dishes that are completely poisonous, but fortunately Xu Huang is Xu Xiaoqi's only experimental subject.

Her grandparents (Xu Huang’s parents) are busy with work and have no time to eat the food cooked by their daughter. Her grandparents are far away in the countryside of Hangzhou.

I am extremely lucky, otherwise I am afraid that someone would have been killed, and I escaped the disaster. Otherwise, this handsome dragon with a beautiful tree facing the wind would have died young.

"Eat this piece of gray garlic... vomit!"

Xu Huang's face was pale. He stretched out his arm tremblingly and handed the gray garlic in his hand to Xu Qing, the green-armored dragon.

Let me go, dad, ah no, old man, you look like you have lost half of your life, and you still want me to eat this thing, I still want to live a few more years!

However, due to Xu Huang's power, Xu Qing finally ate the gray garlic that made him almost spit out bile.

It feels that it will never forget this smell in this life, and it can definitely enter the top three of its nightmare list. Why does this kind of thing exist in this world!!

"Be careful, there is movement ahead..."

Chen Lei turned his head and whispered, with a vigilant look on his face. He warned his teammates to be prepared to deal with the unpredictable undead. Even eating gray garlic would not mean everything would be alright.

"Captain, could you please cover your mouth? The smell is so strong, I'm about to vomit!!"

The gray garlic that Pu Xun brought with him was carefully selected, and the effect was better than ordinary gray garlic. Correspondingly, the taste was even more disappointing.

"...I really want to kick you over!!"

Chen Lei said with a gloomy face and gritted his teeth. He couldn't stand the smell of vomit. The snake meat he just ate in the morning felt like vomiting, and his stomach was churning.

"It's a tomb. There is a large tomb at our three o'clock direction. It seems that it was washed out of the soil by the heavy rain..."

Pu Xun stopped and took out his binoculars to carefully examine a bump several hundred meters away.

The tomb must have been around for some time, and most of the stone bricks were submerged in mud and were in a state of decay.

There were more than twenty skeletons wearing rotten military uniforms lying around inside. It seemed that they were all bone demons at the level of great slaves, which were more difficult to deal with than the rotten corpses.

"The skeleton guards, judging from the style of their clothes, should be the tomb of an official from the Qing Dynasty. The ancient capital was basically not an imperial capital after the Tang Dynasty, and there is no possibility of burying any troublesome relatives of the emperor. It should be a local official from the Qing Dynasty.

's tomb..."

The Qing army was equipped with armor and magic equipment, but most of the local regiments and green camp troops did not wear armor. The Eight Banners had some iron armor or Qing Dynasty cotton armor, which were also relatively expensive magic equipment and would not be used on local soldiers.

"That's Chen Lei, look at that!!"

Pu Xun saw the huge creature with its head sticking out of the tomb hundreds of meters away and said to Chen Lei beside him.

The huge beast looked like a bloated wild boar, but its whole body was covered with sharp and hard bone blades.

It poked out its huge head, and spit out more than one meter of black mist from its two huge nostrils. The skeleton guards moved away in fear, fearing that they would be crushed by the giant beast.

It only emerged for a dozen seconds to take a breath, and then lurked down again, setting off a wave of mire. After a while, the skeletal guards returned to their original positions, like a pile of ordinary bones.

"Should we say we have good luck or bad luck? The iron-bone pig demon, which is at least the level of a great corpse general, is one of our targets. The number is very rare, but if we want to hunt, we have to enter the tomb..."

Chen Lei looked at the giant beast and said helplessly, it may not be the most troublesome thing in the tomb.

If the owner of this tomb is really a local official from the Qing Dynasty who has been buried for hundreds of years, he must be quite powerful!

"There is no such shop after passing this village. If we are careful, we may be able to kill it without going deep into the tomb. As long as we get the undead crystal, we can escape!!"

Gu Wei is very open-minded. If they can obtain a commissioned undead crystal without entering the red zone, they will have less pressure to enter the red zone.

"We ate gray garlic, so the undead generally won't find us. If we hide well, we might be able to wait until a good time to kill the pig demon..."

Duan Hu looked at a few rotting corpses wandering past more than ten meters away. They were completely unaware of his group of people not far away. The smell they exhaled would make these undead avoid them.

"It still doesn't work. In the Land of the Undead, the most dangerous thing is not necessarily the tide of undead corpses on the surface, but the underground tombs with frequent traps and dangers. The most indispensable thing in the ancient capital is tombs. If we are not careful, we will be doomed.

!!”

Chen Lei was very cautious. Although he did not want to let go of the prey that was so close in front of him, he would not let him and his teammates take this risk.

If he uses the lives of his team members as a bargaining chip to throw it alone, he would rather not complete the task.

Money is very attractive and can make many hunters willing to take risks, but he will never put his team in danger for money...

"Let's go to the red zone. Compared to the ancient tombs, I would rather hunt in the area where the zombies are raging..."
