Fantasy journey to the heavens

Chapter 151 The Tree of the Dead

"If you want it, just give me a few coins."

The old man in front of him looked at Katim and said tremblingly.

He didn't say how much, but asked Katim to watch and give some.

After playing with it for a while, Katim put down ten copper coins and then took the things away.

He walked to the next place and found many things everywhere.

Compared to other places, this city is an out-and-out city of the undead, with many places exuding a strong aura of the undead.

Katim found a lot of materials while walking in the city.

Although it is not a supernatural material, it is of some use to him.

It should be useful for subsequent experiments.

For apprentices studying necromancy, this place should be considered a treasure.

At least, it seems that all kinds of undead materials that are scarce outside are not difficult to find here.

Katim continued walking.

Before he knew it, he had bought a lot of things.

After a while, he walked to a cemetery.

"Ok?"

Looking at the cemetery in front of him, Katim was a little surprised.

"What a strong undead aura."

This thought silently flashed through his mind.

He came all the way following the pull of the undead aura.

According to Katim's induction, the aura of the undead in this area is quite strong, much stronger than in other places.

Will anything unusual appear in this place?

Katim couldn't help but feel some anticipation rising in his heart.

So he took steps and walked forward.

Not long after, he came to the central area of ​​the cemetery.

Here, he didn't find anything new, but he saw many corpses.

This place seemed to be a mass grave, with corpses placed in many places, some of which looked very fresh.

Walking to the center, a sound of biting came from the front, which caught Katim's attention.

Katim looked ahead.

There, a middle-aged man squatted on the ground, biting crazily at a corpse in front of him.

Blood and minced meat were splashed all over the ground, and the scene looked quite bloody.

But the middle-aged man didn't mind and just kept biting at that place.

Katim stood there, watching the middle-aged man's movements quietly.

In his perception, the middle-aged man in front of him was a little strange.

He had a strong aura of the undead, but he was still alive, with a faint aura of the living.

The living and the dead, these two contradictory things come together in the same person.

This performance made Katim curious.

So, he slowly took steps and walked forward.

The sound of slight footsteps attracted the attention of the middle-aged man in front.

He stopped his movements and turned around slowly.

A ferocious and terrifying face fell into Katim's sight.

His body was thin, his face was covered with corpse spots, his eyes were scarlet, and his pupils seemed to be a little dilated, without any sense.

Looking at Katim's figure, his body trembled suddenly, and then he suddenly rushed towards Katim.

boom!
A crisp sound came out.

An invisible spiritual power escaped, directly pressing him against the wall beside him. No matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't break free.

A formal wizard-level existence cannot be resisted by ordinary people just by their own mental power.

Of course, the man in front of him was no ordinary person.

"We are close to becoming a knight's apprentice."

Katim walked up to him and looked at the middle-aged man in front of him with some surprise.

He could feel the opponent's resistance and judge that the power he possessed was far beyond that of ordinary people and was close to that of a knight's apprentice.

Even though it’s just close, it’s already amazing.

After all, Katim could see that the man in front of him was just an ordinary person who had not undergone any training.

Just ordinary people, after that kind of unknown mutation happened to their bodies, can they have this kind of power?
Katim couldn't help but feel curious and wanted to study it.

But before he could do anything, there was a rush of footsteps outside.

"What are you doing!"

A handsome young knight wearing armor appeared. Looking at Katim's movements, his expression suddenly changed.

Without any hesitation, he rushed forward and slashed at Katim with his sword.

boom!
A burst of spiritual power erupted and was suppressed in an instant.

Then there was a soft sound, and the young knight quickly retreated and was directly suppressed by Katim.

However, compared to the previous one, the strength of the young knight's struggle was very strong, which surprised even Katim.

"A true knight?"

He was a little surprised.

The young man who suddenly arrived in front of him turned out to be a genuine official knight.

This is very rare.

However, Katim felt an incongruous aura from the other party.

这 是
There was something in his heart, and just as he was about to explore it carefully, he was disturbed by the sound coming from far away.

He looked up and saw a large, densely packed mass of human heads emerging from the outskirts of the cemetery.They were local soldiers from Gray Rock City. It seemed that they had noticed something unusual in this place and had rushed over.

It seems that these people are well prepared.

Katim glanced at the young man in front of him and felt the somewhat uncoordinated aura on him. After thinking for a moment, he stretched out his hand.

A magic mark spread from his hand, and then the young man in front of him screamed, as if he had suffered some great torture.

But this painful feeling goes away as quickly as it comes.

After just a few moments, the pain disappeared.

"Damn it!"

The young man raised his head fiercely, with strong anger in his heart, but at this time he suddenly froze.

In front of him, Katim's figure had disappeared, and he didn't know when he disappeared.

This.
Soon after Katim disappeared, people from outside rushed over.

"Jimu, are you okay?"

A shout came from a distance, with a bit of surprise in the voice, as if he was surprised by his current situation.

On the other side, Katim walked out of the cemetery.

He passed by where he was just now and quickly came to the street.

Once here, even if the young man was standing in front of him just now, he probably wouldn't be able to find him.

"That person just now had the aura of the undead on him."

Katim recalled the appearance of the young knight just now, and couldn't help but think about it.

From the very beginning, he felt that the young knight had a strong undead aura.

This is a very strange discovery.

Generally speaking, the vitality of knights who have awakened the seeds of life is quite powerful.

Because of the existence of life energy, the vitality of a formal knight is much more pure and powerful than that of a third-level apprentice.

But there was something weird about that person just now.

The opponent's vitality is indeed powerful, but under that powerful vitality, there is a strong necromantic aura, but it is not obvious and difficult to detect.

If Katim's mental power had not been strong enough, it would have been difficult for him to discover this.

The other party gave Katim the feeling that he was deliberately using his huge vitality to cover up the undead aura, and his movements were very weird.

Thinking back to the previous situation where the other party took action directly without asking about the situation, this matter may not be simple.

"There's probably something wrong with that person."

This thought flashed through Katim's mind.

He slowly turned around and looked at the street ahead.

Not long after, he walked to an old tavern and began to inquire for information.

This process is quite simple, it just costs some coppers.

"Are you asking Lord Jimu?"

The owner of the tavern looked at Katim in surprise: "That's a celebrity in our Gray Rock City, and you don't even know it."

"He was promoted to knight last year. It is said that he had a serious illness before his promotion. After he recovered from the illness, he was successfully promoted."

"The big shots in the city say that illness was a test for him."

"sick?"

Katim frowned, already sensing something was wrong.

Knight apprentices are human beings, and of course they can get sick.

But for an apprentice who is about to be promoted to a knight, the probability of him getting sick is very small.

Because once you get sick, your body will fluctuate, which is not conducive to awakening the seeds of life.

Generally speaking, if a knight apprentice has just fallen ill, he will not choose to awaken the life seed at this time.

But this knight Jemu did just that, and he did it very successfully.

From this detail, Katim felt something was wrong.

"Is there any other news worthy of special attention?"

Looking at the tavern owner in front of him, Katim smiled, and then continued to take out a few coins.

"There is quite a lot of news worthy of attention."

The tavern owner accepted the coins silently, with a bright smile on his face: "In the past few years, many big shots in the city have fallen ill."

"It seems to be an epidemic, but it's only spreading among the big people."

"Then I guess a lot of people must have died." Katim asked.

"Here's the weird thing."

The tavern owner said: "Although there are many people who are sick, not many people have died. Except for a few old people, I have not heard of anyone dying from this disease."

"In addition, many people are missing in the city, and I don't know why."

He lamented: "This city is becoming more and more chaotic."

"Someone is missing in the city, but the local lord doesn't care?"

Katim then asked.

"The local sheriff checked many times, but nothing came of it."

The tavern owner said: "Some people say that those who disappeared were not missing, but were eaten by the undead trees."

"Necromancer tree?"

Katim was a little confused: "What is that?"

"It's a local legend."

The tavern owner said: "It is said that thousands of years ago, there was something called the Necromancer Tree here."

"It's something that looks like a tree but is actually quite spooky."

"It will devour the lives of living people and produce undead fruits with strange power."

"The fruit of death."
