Chapter 42 Corpse General
Chapter 42 Corpse General
Everyone was instantly jolted awake and began searching for the source of the scream.
To their right, the figures of those people had become blurred; they had gone too deep. And because the pig's blood had been accidentally spilled on the ground, the spirits underground instantly began to rise again.
One, two, seven, eight—the area in front of them was instantly swarming with undead. The location was too deep, there were too many undead sleeping underground, and... there might be even more powerful undead inside.
"Damn it, what a bunch of geniuses!" Tang Chao cursed under his breath, wanting to abandon them inside, but he couldn't do that.
The school condones the older students' methods of boosting scores, but the premise is that they must protect the new students. One or two might have accidents, but if five die at once, it's hard to say what will happen.
The school will definitely investigate, and then none of them will be able to escape.
Knowing that such consequences would occur, the three senior students were more anxious than anyone else, wishing they could rescue the people inside immediately.
They were fast, but the undead were even faster. Before they arrived, the five-man squad was completely surrounded and could no longer be seen.
All you could hear was what sounded like wailing coming from inside.
There are people injured.
Oops!
Roar!
The undead roared, determined to pulverize the humans inside.
"What are you all standing there for? Save them!!" The new students were terrified. They froze when they heard the screams and the howls of the dead, and only came to their senses when Tang Chao shouted.
Then they became somewhat annoyed, realizing they had been frightened by the undead. They started to think, "Magicians, killing undead is a piece of cake! Damn undead, accept the judgment of magic!"
Tang Chao breathed a slight sigh of relief upon hearing the commotion behind him. He had already covered most of the kilometer distance, and now Tang Chao only hoped that he hadn't stepped on the graves of those great undead.
If a corpse general-level undead were to awaken, that would be the end of it; a distance of one thousand meters would be a death trap for them.
Roar!
Suddenly, a piercing roar caused Tang Chao's expression to change rapidly.
Everyone else was forced to stop and cover their ears.
This sense of pressure, this powerful voice.
Corpse General, a warrior-level undead, has appeared.
"Damn it!" Tang Chao cursed angrily. "Money bag, prepare to attack!"
"Understood." The senior student, nicknamed Money Bag, had a change in his pupils and released a radiance in the sky. Light magic is the most harmful magic to the undead, even if it's just a radiance.
The undead were slightly pushed back, and at this moment they also noticed the people behind them, where the aura of the living was stronger. A large number of undead instantly abandoned the five people surrounded and attacked Tang Chao and Qian Dai.
"Damn beast, take this raging punch!" Tang Chao's eyes were filled with rage, the flames burning in his heart. Forty-nine stars quickly arranged into a beautiful star map on his clothes, and a huge flaming fist appeared behind him. With one punch, all the servant-level undead were burned to ashes, completely unable to stop him.
Tang Chao was initially worried that Lie Quan would injure the students, but now that they had come over, it gave him the opportunity to unleash his full power.
"Ah!!" Another scream rang out as the corpse general, holding a long sword, stood out among the undead.
Roar!
Another roar followed, and a sword appeared in the ground even before the undead. They knew it was another undead of warrior-level rank.
We must rescue them quickly, otherwise, once these spirits resonate with each other and more spirits crawl out, it will be too late.
"You guys save the people, I'll deal with this corpse general." A dashing and elegant figure instantly appeared towards the corpse general who could still crawl out. He was a mid-level wind mage, the fastest, but a little slower because he was the farthest away.
He might not be able to kill the Corpse General, but he could easily stop him.
"Gong Jian, don't linger too long," Tang Chao reminded them. He and Qian Dai had arrived at the place where the new students were surrounded. The previous servant-level undead were alright; although they were injured, no one died. But now that the warrior-level undead had appeared, it was a different story. Shui Yu was as fragile as paper in front of this level of demons, and two of them died in just over ten seconds.
The other three all looked terrified; fear had rendered them almost incapable of resisting.
"Help me! Help me!" Upon seeing the senior students coming to their rescue, one of the girls froze, crying and rushing towards them.
Tang Chao wanted to warn them to be careful behind them, but it was too late. Before he could finish speaking, the undead's sword came crashing down.
This lovely junior colleague was cleaved in two, her eyes filled with a mixture of joy and fear at the prospect of being saved, along with a hint of bewilderment.
She died with her eyes wide open in disbelief.
"Damn it!" Moneybag cursed, slightly late. His magic was just one step away from starting, but now there were still two people left, so he could make up for it.
The arrival of these two mid-level mages meant they wouldn't allow a mere warrior-level undead to harm them, even with numerous servant-level undead around them. This was the confidence of mid-level mages.
Three mangled corpses lay on the ground, blood flowing continuously. There was movement beneath the ground; there was so much blood that many undead were about to awaken, crawl out, and annihilate any creatures they saw.
……
Su Ming was the furthest away, even farther than that senior Gong Jian. By the time he arrived, Tang Chao and Qian Dai had already met up with the trapped people.
Most of the freshmen rushed over to help, but there were always a few who weren't quite right in the head.
They saw the undead killed by the fierce fist, and their undead crystals fell to the ground. They were instantly tempted and picked up all the crystals on the ground.
"Damn it! Don't steal mine! You have so many over there, I only have a few here."
"You're shocked! Which eye of yours saw so many? You're telling me there are dozens when you only saw one or two."
"Damn it, get out of here, or I'll beat you to death!!"
"You're the one who's in charge. I'm the local fighting champion, why would I be afraid of you?"
The two of them ended up fighting over the issue of the undead crystal, engaging in a hand-to-hand combat.
After several entanglements, the bag containing pig's blood was dropped on the ground. However, the bag did not break; it was accidentally crushed during the struggle.
Suddenly, a series of sounds came from underground, one of which was particularly deep and resonant.
The two men, who were wrestling, turned pale upon hearing the sound and retreated in terror.
The moment the two left, spirits emerged from the ground. One of them was hunched over, like an old man who had been hunchbacked for a long time. This spirit could only try to see people by twisting its neck.
Although the undead looked strange, the aura emanating from him gave people an intense sense of suffocation, a feeling that even made the two freshmen of the ancient capital academy lose their resistance.
"Run!!" one of them shouted, turning and running deeper into the valley where Tang Chao and Qian Dai, the two seniors, were. Only by their side could they feel safe.
"Damn it, you... ah!" The other person was about to shout angrily when the undead was already beside him, and with one claw, it tore off half of his face. The pain instantly made him roll on the ground, trying to relieve the pain.
But those slave-level undead wouldn't give you time. They rushed up instantly, tearing him apart in a few bites and ripping him to pieces. The student's screams stopped a few seconds later.
"Damn it." Su Ming's expression changed drastically. These two idiots, and that group of idiots who ran inside, Tang Chao is also damn stupid. What use are these newbies? They can't do anything and can only make things worse.
Now, things are even worse; the way back is blocked, and if they're unlucky, everyone inside will die.
"Xiao Qing, stop this beast." Without thinking, Su Ming immediately called out to Xiao Qing, using magic to block the hunchbacked undead. This was a warrior-level undead, and he couldn't let it go to the Tang Dynasty.
They might not be afraid of one warrior-level being for now, but two would be a different story. It's not as simple as one plus one. Undead are fearless, but mages are different. That's the difference.
Su Ming took a deep breath, feeling his body tremble slightly. A warrior-level demon, he was finally facing this level of monster again.
Xiaoqing knew this was going to be a tough battle, so she set up a wind barrier as soon as she came out, hoping to slow down the corpse general's movements.
Su Ming stood behind Xiao Qing. He was well aware of his own strength and his purpose: to entangle this corpse general. As long as he could entangle it, there was no need to consider killing it. Although his mental strength had improved, he still couldn't kill a demon of the War General level.
Roar!
The corpse general was very fast and rushed over in an instant, but the wind slowed him down a little. By this time, Su Ming had already completed the spell, the third level of the initial stage, the Barrier spell.
The void barrier blocked the corpse general's advance, but it couldn't hold him off for long. With each attack from the corpse general, Su Ming could clearly feel his barrier being continuously damaged.
Empty claw.
The barrier blocked the Corpse General's advance, and the Void Claw launched an attack. At the same time, Xiao Qing unleashed a slash, and a wind disc appeared beneath the undead's feet, intending to blow the Corpse General away completely.
