Half a month later, Dongfang Fan received the second letter from the academy, which specified the place and time of departure that day. After explaining some things, Dongfang Fan left the Sword Blacksmith Shop - during this period, the shop will be
The black robe took over the position of the blacksmith. This White Walker has not shown any malice during this period. Instead, he has mastered Dongfang Fan's sword-making skills very well. Apart from the lack of the law of swords, the swords he forged have no other characteristics.
They are all comparable to those made by Dongfang Fan.
Dongfang Fan didn't bring anyone with him, and he only brought a soul-calling sword with him. It could be said that he went into battle lightly.
The agreed location was the outfield in the southern district of the royal capital. When Dongfang Fan arrived at the designated location, sixteen people were already waiting: ten first-class students, one contracted mentor, and five graduated summoners.
"What a surprise..." Dongfang Fan looked at a familiar face among the sixteen people and felt doubly surprised.
"Hello, Mr. Dongfang, I am the contracted tutor for this trip. My name is Dongfang Yuhua. I would like to trouble Mr. Dongfang with this trip." The elegant Dongfang Yuhua has a smile like a flower, and is still as pure and lovely as ever.
Her maturity only added to her pure charm, and it was no wonder that the eight boys behind her kept staring at her.
"Yu Hua, we haven't seen each other for a long time. It's beyond my expectation to meet again under such circumstances..." Dongfang Fan knew that the other party would not recognize him, but he never intended to pretend that he did not know him.
"Hmph! What an old-fashioned way to pick up a conversation. He just wants to get close to our Oriental Jade Painting teacher..." One of the ten first-class students frowned and snorted, loud enough for everyone present to hear.
"Haha, speaking of it, Yu Hua does feel that there is an inexplicable sense of familiarity in Mr. Yu Hua. Maybe he has actually met before." Dongfang Yu Hua quickly expressed his stance. The male student snorted coldly and said nothing more.
.
"It's disrespectful for me to tease my colleagues here early in the morning... That's enough. Let's get down to business... Regarding this exam, the college considered the possible dangers during the exam and asked us five summoners to
As colleagues, I hope you can realize that this operation is far from as easy as you imagined. Even if we all died there, it would not be a surprise..." Five Summoners
The leader Xu Nuo stood up and said with a serious face.
After Xu Nuo said this, Dongfang Fan re-examined the sixteen people present: the ten first-class students were all the heirs of powerful people in the academy, and the Dongfang family from which Dongfang's jade paintings came came also had considerable power in the dynasty. And Xu Nuo
The four summoners led by them all just graduated from the previous class. If this operation is really as dangerous as Xu Nuo said, once the crisis comes, can the five people really save the day with Xu Nuo?
"Where are you going and what are you going to do this time?" Dongfang Fan asked Xu Nuo. He had not received any news about this, and it must have been announced by Xu Nuo.
When Xu Nuo heard Dongfang Fan's words, his face changed obviously, showing a faint look of fear.
"Let me tell you." Wen Wu, who was traveling with him, took a step forward and stood in front of Dongfang Fan and Dongfang Yuhua. At this moment, the plane responsible for escorting the group to their destination landed. Everyone got on the plane and sat together.
Wenwu then continued to explain.
"This trip went to a small village called 'Ping' in Sichuan. Since the first half of last year, this village has been seeing dead people crawling out of their graves and wandering outside the village at night. At first, the villagers thought
It was an illusion. Later, more and more similar things happened. Some of the imperial soldiers stationed there also encountered many situations. When the soldiers pursued them, no one survived..."
When Wen Wu said this, he paused, and all the students, both men and women, looked pale. It was obvious that what Wen Wu said was very frightening.
"Half a year ago, the four generals Liu Yan, Wan Wu, Tong Hu, and Zhang Man from the imperial court were ordered to go to Pingping Village to investigate the matter. However, there was no news from the four generals in the six months since their departure. Therefore, these generals were sent to Pingping Village to investigate the matter.
One thing is the content of this exam: find the four generals and bring them back, life or death."
After listening to this, Dongfang Fan fell into deep thought: This matter is not as simple as it seems on the surface. At least, the purpose of this trip is definitely not just to recover General Thinking. In addition, the four disappeared people cannot have accidents.
After knowing this matter, he couldn't stay out of it.
"Is there any more detailed information? The college should not only explain these basic things...if there is any information, please give it together." Dongfang Fan asked.
"Information...Have any of you heard of the 'Corpse Driver'?" Wen Wu smiled and stared at everyone coldly and asked.
Dongfang Fan has no knowledge in this area, and most of the other students also lack this knowledge.
"In China a long time ago, it should be a certain dynasty two or three thousand years ago. Due to wars and cruel officials, the people were in dire straits. Dead bodies could be seen everywhere, and the real corpses were everywhere... So, in response to this bleak world situation, the people appeared
A profession that specializes in moving corpses is the 'corpse chaser'."
"Corpse hunters usually move corpses at night. At first, they just use pure manpower to move them. Later, some people use Miao Gu magic to animate the corpse, and use spells to control the corpse, so that the corpse can move on its own... At this point,
The profession of corpse chasers has matured and even formed a sect." When Wen Wu explained the corpse chasers, each and every one of them heard that "the corpses move on their own", and their hair suddenly stood up.
"What you said earlier was that the corpse crawled out of the grave, but the exorcists were carrying the corpse...these two situations don't seem to match..." Dongfang Fan was the only one among the people present who could still think normally.
"Corpse hunters use poison to animate corpses, and some of these activated corpses will transform into corpses after a hundred years, and form a special existence with a lifespan of four hundred years. This kind of existence is called——"
Zombies'."
"However, after the White Walkers wreaked havoc on the world, the centuries-old law of corpse transformation was destroyed, resulting in a situation where corpses can transform into zombies in two or three years. The corpses will transform into zombies, and the zombies will leave the tomb on their own and walk at night... Such a statement should be based on
Does it make sense? Besides...the current zombies are different from the past. In order to survive under the claws of the White Walkers, the only thing the zombies can use to fight against the White Walkers are zombies. Therefore, the zombies will
Use talismans to collect the stronger parts of the corpse for your own use. Most of the zombies seen by the villagers are abandoned low-grade goods. With their abilities, it is impossible to threaten Liu Yan and other four generals... Therefore,
I guess those four generals must have some connection with the corpse exorcists." After Wen Wu finished speaking, everyone gradually came out of their fear.
"It will appear at night... It seems that we can only choose to go out to investigate at night... Let's take a rest now." Dongfang Fan gave the order and took a nap...
When everyone arrived at their destination, it was already noon——
Pingping Village is located in the mountains, surrounded by countless bamboo forests. Even many buildings in the village are built with bamboo, and all the imperial troops stationed here are located a hundred miles southeast of the village.
, that side is just outside the edge of the entire bamboo forest.
Dongfang Fan and his group of seventeen people landed at the place where the imperial army was stationed. After receiving approval from their fellow officers stationed there, they entered the bamboo forest and headed towards Pingping Village.
"For the convenience of movement, Mr. Dongfang and I will divide the five students into two groups each. We also promised that five people will be divided into groups. The three groups will conduct separate explorations, which should speed up the progress. Mr. Dongfang? What do you think?" Dongfang Yuhua suggested.
, at this time Dongfang Fan was lost in thought.
"Oh... this is one way. As for grouping... the boys will form a team to act with you, and the girls will form a team to act with me..." Dongfang Fan returned to his senses and responded.
"Oh? You just wanted to target the jade painting teacher, and now you want to target the female students?" The male student who had previously mocked Dongfang Fan spoke again.
"You're almost done! Don't be shameless!" There were also several people from the swordsmanship classroom among the students. The one who spoke at this time was the senior student. At this time, he pointed at the student who insulted Dongfang Fan and yelled angrily.
"Okay, okay, you two, stop arguing. I believe Mr. Dongfang's suggestion must be reasonable. Let's do it this way. Student Jin Zhe, don't say that to Mr. Dongfang again." Dongfang Yu
Drawing a picture to dissuade him, the man named Jin Zhe was named and said nothing.
Everyone continued to move forward, and just as the night was approaching, they took two breaks along the way and finally saw Pingping Village.
At this moment, there was movement from the left side of the crowd. Listening carefully, it seemed to be the sound of a shovel shoveling earth. When everyone got closer, they saw a man wearing straw sandals, a green cloth gown, and a black belt around his waist.
, a middle-aged man wearing a green cloth hat is holding a shovel and struggling to dig a hole in the ground. The most shocking thing is: beside the man, there are three motionless "people" standing neatly.
He was wearing tattered clothes, blackened skin, and a piece of yellow paper drawing on his forehead.
Those three "people" should be zombies, and the man should be the corpse exorcist!
"Who?" The man suddenly stopped what he was doing, turned around and shouted.
"We are from the Tianyue Dynasty, you are the corpse chaser, right? We have something to ask you..." Jin Zhe bravely stepped forward. Unexpectedly, the man suddenly pulled out a mahogany sword from the baggage beside him.
, and took out a piece of yellow paper from his arms and put it on the tip of the sword.
"roar--!!"
The three zombies suddenly moved, roaring like inhuman beasts from their throats, and flew towards Jin Zhe!
Dongfang Fan's eyes were fixed, and the sword finger of his right hand circled the law of the sword. With a slight pull, the peach wood sword in the hands of the corpse-expelling man flew into Dongfang Fan's palm——
"One, burn it..." Dongfang Fan took off the yellow paper from the peach wood sword and threw it into the air. After hearing Dongfang Fan's words, Gao Yiyi, who was behind Dongfang Jade Painting, immediately used his own fire law to blow out a line of fire to kill Huang.
The paper was completely burned, and at the same time, the flying movements of the three zombies stopped abruptly. Jin Zhe fell to the ground with his head in his hands, trembling with "Help" in his mouth.
Dongfang Fan stepped forward with a wooden sword and returned the peach wood sword to the man.
