Chapter 119: Earning Money and the Cursed Fortress

The team waited for a while, and a few more people came.

Finally, a merchant came and sold various levels of undead protection potions and shadow protection potions, as well as various levels of purification potions.

After taking these potions, one can resist a large amount of undead spell damage and shadow damage, while purification potions can purify various diseases and curses.

Chu Cheng didn't really need the first two, but he did need the purification potion. He spent 4 gold to buy two bottles of strong purification potion.

All preparations were completed and the team of 15 people set off.

Then, Chu Cheng saw a group of people taking out various mounts and sitting on them one after another, and he also took out the magic carpet and sat on it.

Then he saw many people in the team looking at him in surprise, and the two women covered their mouths and chuckled when they saw this scene.

He was a little puzzled. Then Captain Lei Ming came over on an armored war bear as tall as an elephant and said:

"Although the magic carpet can fly, it needs to consume magic energy. There is a virtual magic network on campus to provide energy, which can be used at will, but there is no way to provide energy in the dungeon. Unless you keep consuming the mana supply, it will not last for more than a few minutes."

"That's it."

Chu Cheng immediately jumped off the magic carpet and found that the magic power inside the magic carpet was indeed less.

Lei Ming smiled, took out a rein from his arms and said:
"I changed my mount earlier, and I haven't dealt with the original warhorse yet. Do you want to sell it to you for 1 gold?"

"Yes, thank you."

"Small things."

The money was paid and the goods were delivered, and the military horses were obtained.

Military Horse (Excellent)

Equipment type: Mount.

Equipment requirements: None.

Mount HP: 3000
Walking speed: 150
Running speed: 300
Mount attributes: acceleration, increases running speed by 50% after activation, lasts for 30 seconds, cooldown time is 2 hours.

Comments: An excellent military warhorse.

This thing's running speed is not as fast as Chu Cheng's current speed. His current running speed is 384, but running by himself consumes physical strength, while the mount does not, so he can keep running.

He summoned his mount, climbed on it, and followed the team slowly out of the Crusader Fortress and into a wasteland filled with dead bones.

Chu Cheng didn't know that after their team left the Crusader Fortress, Senior Fang Xi's team also entered this dungeon.

Desolation, coldness, and death are the main themes of this realm.

The Archlich summoned the undead to bring about a natural disaster, killing most of the creatures in the world. Only the remnants were left hiding in the Crusader Fortress to survive.

Although the plot is about a counterattack, without the participation of the Adventers, the counterattack is just empty talk.

They couldn't defeat the Undead Scourge even in their complete form, and now they are even less able to do so with only so few people left.

The group gradually moved away from the Crusader Fortress. The farther they went, the heavier the smell of death in the air became, and the figures of the undead began to appear faintly in the fog.

Twenty minutes after setting out, the team encountered a small group of undead heading towards the Crusader Fortress.

A mixed team of forty to fifty eighteen-year-old zombies and seventy to eighty fifteen-year-old skeletons, all of them useless templates, wandering around staggeringly and unconsciously.

Lei Ming, who was walking in front, shouted and ordered to turn and bypass the group of undead.

Their main goal is to hunt down the Four Horsemen of the Undead. They usually won't take action unless there are high-value targets among the undead hordes they encounter.

Chu Cheng had no idea either. This useless template undead, which was only at level 10, couldn't even produce soul fragments.

We continued on our journey and encountered many groups of undead of varying sizes, but we took detours to avoid them.

Heading north, I can run thirty to forty kilometers a day.

When the team took out the tents to rest at night, Chu Cheng had no tent, only a sleeping bag, so he slept in the big tent of the Thunder Team.

At this time, the advantage of having a team came out. With a large team, people can be arranged to keep watch at night, and there are mages who place various sentry eyes that look like eyeballs outside the camp. Lei Ming's war bear is both a mount and a pet, and it will sound the alarm when a monster approaches. Chu Cheng can find a place to sleep in the wild in the school dungeon, and if he falls asleep and encounters a monster, it will be difficult to kill him quickly.

But these dungeons are different in colleges and universities. If you are unlucky and encounter a wandering big BOSS, it can be very dangerous.

After traveling for several days and covering about 200 kilometers, the team stopped at a dry riverbed. Lei Ming and several others got off the riverbed, turned around twice, and walked along the river to the right.

At the same time, a thunderous voice came from the temporary team channel:

"According to the map, go east along this river. There is an important base of the Undead Army called Cursed Fortress. The Four Horsemen of the Undead will stop at Cursed Fortress while touring the Plague Land. Let's go and see if the Four Horsemen of the Undead are there."

At this time someone asked:

"If the Four Horsemen of the Dead are not here, should we attack the Cursed Fortress as well?"

"What do you think?"

"I remember that the Cursed Fortress is an important stronghold of the Undead Legion. There are several terrifying bosses there. After conquering it, there will definitely be a loot warehouse with a large amount of ore materials. If you are lucky, there will be a lot of mithril mines. If you can conquer it, the rewards will be great."

"There is indeed a lot of spoils, but the question is, can we conquer it?"

"The Cursed Fortress was built according to fortress specifications. There are a large number of elite undead troops inside, including large undead like Stitched Monsters. Our team is small, and it is difficult to resist the impact of so many undead."

"Can we use tactics to lure out the undead? Destroy them in small groups."

“It’s possible, but it takes too much time.”

"Let's give it a try. It's pointless to search for the Four Horsemen anyway, so why not take down this Undead stronghold? If we're lucky, the Four Horsemen will come over at this time!"

"Well"

"How about this, there are fifteen of us in total, let's vote, and if more than half agree, we'll do it, how do you say?"

"it is good!"

A dividing line appeared in the temporary channel, and Lei Ming said below:

"The following is the boundary. If you agree, deduct 1. If you disagree, deduct 2."

"1"

"1"

"2"

"1"

Chu Cheng silently output '1' on the panel.

What's the point of wandering around aimlessly? I've been wandering around for several days now. It's more fun to fight.

The information about the Cursed Fortress that Lei Ming posted in the channel just now shows that there are more than five thousand undead living in this fortress, and tens of thousands of undead gather around it. If the horn is blown and the death knell in the fortress is rung, it can summon the undead wandering around, and it is estimated that tens of thousands of undead can be gathered out.

If you kill all these undead, you will definitely get a lot of soul fragments and undead essence.

But he always remembered that his biggest purpose in entering the dungeon this time was to make money.

In addition, if you kill so many undead, even if most of them are level 10 or above, you will accumulate a lot of experience from killing and you will have to level up at least one level.

The fifteen people quickly completed the voting, and in the end eleven voted in favor and four voted against. Even someone within the Thunder Team wanted to take part in the vote.

The matter was settled, and Lei Ming had no reluctance. While he was on his way, he discussed tactics with others in the channel.

Chu Cheng didn't say anything, but just watched him discuss the tactics silently.

However, contrary to their expectations, the tactics had been discussed early on, but they ran along the riverbed for a day and did not see the Cursed Fortress.

It was not until the next afternoon that groups of wandering undead began to appear on the riverbed and the dry riverbed. Lei Ming sent two fast team members out for reconnaissance, and an hour later they brought back the news that the Cursed Fortress was just ahead.
