Versatile Mage: I was reborn as Mo Fan

Chapter 27. Land of the Dead

I stayed in the ancient capital for more than half a year.
More than half a year had passed, and Mo Fan's pendant had finally been upgraded to a higher level. Moreover, the little loach at this moment obviously no longer needed residual soul and essence to recover.

The remaining souls that were collected just floated in the world of the pendant. Looking at the results of his harvest every night for the past six months, Mo Fan was quite satisfied.

Although I haven't improved fast enough in the past six months, it's not slow either. The Fire and Lightning Nebulae have increased respectively, and the Shadow and Summoning have also been upgraded to the third level.

And now that Little Loach has advanced to the next level, as long as the Holy Earth Spring is poured into him, he can’t imagine how huge the feedback he will get!
What surprised the guards on the city wall that night, and who were already somewhat familiar with Mo Fan, was that this extremely powerful guy, the guy who came here every day to play, did not come here to guard with them today?
The reason why Mo Fan did not go to guard the city wall was because he was waiting. Until the early morning, a stream of abundant energy from the little loach's pendant flowed into Mo Fan's body.

When this energy came, Mo Fan felt that his shadow star track and summon star track showed signs of breaking out of their cocoons. The excess energy even caused the fire nebula and lightning nebula to grow significantly!

At this moment, Mo Fan understood in his heart that it was right to endure for so long!

After he digested the energy sent by the little loach, his shadow system and summoning system directly expanded into pieces of nebulae. His fire system directly expanded to the second intermediate level. Although the lightning system did not advance, it was several times larger than before, completely reaching the level of the previous fire system nebulae.
This feeling was multiplied, but after the pleasure, Mo Fan could feel that although the Holy Spring was given to Little Loach, the effect he wanted was not achieved. That is, the speed of normal cultivation and the feeling after obtaining the spirit essence were the same.

In other words, this holy spring is not enough for Little Loach to advance to the next level!
But now that he was in the ancient capital, if he wanted to be promoted, it seemed that he still had a chance. He was planning to take a stroll around the several dangerous villages here, and learn about some of the magic history left in their villages. The main thing was that if he wanted to be promoted in this way, he would need to fight to digest it. Well, he really wasn't going for the well water!

The next morning, Mo Fan set out directly. Before leaving, he threw his phone and some clothes directly into the hotel he was staying in. He was not worried that the store would cheat him. After all, who would have the time to offend a mage?
Before setting off again, Mo Fan also bought some gray garlic, just in case. After all, in the Land of the Dead, the undead are absolutely endless. Although he is not weak at the moment, he is not that strong either. If he has gray garlic, his safety factor will also increase a lot.

However, after buying the gray garlic, Mo Fan felt so painful that he cried. Damn, this thing is more expensive than gold. Although he made a small profit during this period, he had to spend money on food and drink every day in the ancient capital. For a moment, he really felt the pain.
Leave the ancient capital early in the morning.

Mo Fan soon arrived at the Xianchi area.

Xianchi is nothing more than a place name. It is a piece of land with little vegetation, soft soil, and often fine white sand.
The white fine sand is actually the powder that the bones turn into after being exposed to wind and sun. It looks like salt sprinkled on the ground. The locals do not say "salt" directly, but call this place "salty land".

Xianchi is nothing more than a piece of flat land at the northern foot of the Qinling Mountains bordering Xicheng and Chang'an District. Because this area is slightly low-lying, it looks like a pond on the map, so it was later completely called Xianchi.

A long security boundary was established in the northeast direction of Xianchi. Most of the security boundaries in other areas are in an interlaced pattern of fortresses, outposts, post stations, and barriers, forming a model where guards are stationed, hunters live in the city, and the magic association manages it.

In the ancient capital, due to the extremely special demons living here, the ancient capital's security boundary is not particularly stable, and a long earth wall is used to form an obvious security boundary. The earth wall is a protective wall set up by earth magicians. Because it is often moved, some villages that were originally in the security boundary are inadvertently circled outside the security boundary.

If this happened in the coastal areas, the south, or the north, these villages that are not within the security boundary would be extremely dangerous. They would not survive for more than a few years and would be trampled by demons without a single survivor.

In the ancient capital, due to the special ability of the Weiju clan to avoid the undead, there are still quite a few villages outside the Anjie. These villages are called miracle villages by foreign magic associations, and the courage of the villagers is sky-high!
But in fact, the reason why people in these villages can live here peacefully is because they are all descendants of the old Qin people.

They are the ancient princes and people who have been passed down in a legitimate way.

The reason why these villages are not attacked by demons and harmed by the undead is, on the one hand, that they do not use any electronic devices, and on the other hand, that they are blessed by the undead.

Yes, it is the blessing of the undead. Even if the Qinling demons want to invade these villages, they have to pass through the territory of the undead. They may be fine during the day, but at night, they will also become the target of the undead. It is precisely because they don't want to provoke these undead that these villages have always been safe and sound.

However, there is a considerable distance between here and the village, and it is difficult to reach there in at least one day.

As night fell, strange noises came from beneath the soil covered with fine salt-colored sand underfoot. It sounded like chewing or hammering.

Mo Fan had indeed killed quite a few undead during this period, but this was definitely the first time he had truly stepped into the land of the undead.

As soon as this strange sound was heard, he immediately became extremely alert.

Suddenly, pairs of dry, rotten, hideous arms emerged from the ground like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, swinging and grasping at the small mud hill less than five meters away from Mo Fan!

"Ugh!!"

"Ugh!!!"

Cries of creatures with mud and sand stuck in their mouths came from all around, and hideous and strange heads popped out from under the mud, staring at the nine creatures with ferocious red eyes. The smell of blood made them even more fanatical, and they wished they could dig up the land so that they could pounce on it and chew it up in one go!
The dead souls buried in the soil are all in human form. The ancient capital has experienced countless changes of dynasties and many wars between demons and monsters. The number of dead people is far greater than that of monsters. Moreover, these are souls that have been deposited for thousands of years. The land itself is no longer normal soil, but filled with the dead breath that nourishes dead things. Once the sun is no longer shining, these dead things will come out like overgrown vegetation. After being wiped out, they will revive again after the next death monsoon sweeps over.
