Versatile Mage: Are you selling soul beasts in the Magic City?

Chapter 76: Undead Attack the City, Quickly Evacuate

Not long after, Xu Beichen and Di Tian flew back to the city wall.

Zhu Meng and the others stared at the two of them in a daze. How long had passed? Not even an hour in total!
Although it was a little hard to believe, the Ghost Tyrant really did disappear.

"Xu boy, with this senior here, is it really necessary to evacuate the people?" Zhu Meng asked blankly.

He could easily kill the Ghost Tyrant, so with this strength he should be able to deal with one of the Eight Dead Kings.

"We must retreat." Xu Beichen said seriously.

Although with Di Tian's strength, he would not be afraid even if the eight dead kings attacked him together.

But Xu Beichen's goal is the ancient king's legacy, and it is impossible for him to get rid of these eight dead kings.

Although the deceased king did not die so easily, resurrection would definitely consume something, which was totally unnecessary.

In order to obtain the ancient king's legacy, one must obtain the ancient king's armor, which means one must enter the Shayuan.

Xu Beichen was definitely unwilling to enter the Evil Abyss, mainly because he was unsure what the Evil Abyss would do to him. Even the super-class mages in the original novel didn't dare to enter.

To be on the safe side, Xu Beichen decided to let Di Tian enter alone.

With Di Tian's strength, forcibly entering the Shayuan shouldn't be a big problem.

But just in case, Xu Beichen felt that he needed to arrange a guide for Di Tian, and the most suitable person to lead the way was Fang Gu.

It was truly ridiculous that Fang Gu, a mere mid-level wizard, actually dreamed of becoming the emperor of an undead empire.

However, Fang Gu is very suitable as a nutrient for armor.

"I have arranged for the people to evacuate. I hope you are right." Zhu Meng sighed.

"How long will it take for everyone to evacuate?" Xu Beichen asked.

"This...will probably take at least ten hours." Zhu Meng said uncertainly.

Xu Beichen took out his phone and checked the time. He said solemnly, "If we continue to urge them, we might not make it in time."

Dawn arrived, and although the clouds and rain blocked the sunlight, it was indeed daytime at this point.

During the day, this means the undead retreat and disappear!
As the bells echoed in this empty city, no one in the city was eating breakfast or working on the streets. Only a few mages on the city walls were still holding on.

"The bell rang. We finally had a good night's sleep. I'll take a nap first."

A very tired guard mage said with a smile.

"Now that you mention it, I also..."

The guard next to him hadn't finished speaking when he suddenly looked at the undead still attacking the city below, a look of horror on his face.

"No, these undead don't seem to have any intention of retreating."

"It's daytime now, how could it be possible that they really didn't evacuate!!"

The guarding mage tried hard to open his tired eyelids, forced himself to stand up and look down at the city wall.

What came into view were those horrifying hordes of undead, even more than last night!
"Really not retreating? These undead can't tell the difference between day and night?"

As each wizard discovered the situation below the city, the light that was supposed to symbolize dawn did not arrive. Instead, a thick haze shrouded everyone!

In the tower.

"The undead are still there?!"

Zhu Meng looked at Xu Beichen in astonishment and said, "It's just like what you said yesterday. It's completely against common sense that the undead can move normally during the day." Zhu Meng knew very well what this meant. It meant an unprecedented disaster!
A big reason why the ancient capital was not conquered by the undead was that the undead could not move during the day, which gave the ancient capital time to breathe.

No matter how ferocious the undead are at night, they will retreat once daytime comes.

But now this common sense has been broken, and the undead did not disperse with the arrival of daylight.

Zhu Meng was extremely grateful. If Xu Beichen had not suggested evacuating the people, it would have been an unprecedented catastrophe for the ancient capital!
"The most important thing right now is to evacuate the mages and the remaining civilians as soon as possible."

Xu Beichen had anticipated this scene, so he spoke calmly.

"You're right, evacuating first is the most important thing." Zhu Meng nodded.

At this point, we definitely can't defend. The undead are tireless, but the mage is not!
The guarding mages who had been staying on the city wall all night were exhausted and unable to confront the undead army head-on.

“Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!”

A death knell-like cry came from the north corner of the city.

Everyone immediately looked towards the distant sky, and suddenly discovered that between the dark sky and earth, there was a skeletal creature with huge bone wings flying close to the clouds.

Its figure was getting closer and closer, its skeletal body was comparable to the main tower standing on the north city wall. When its skeletal wings were fully stretched out, they could cast a large shadow like clouds!

"Lord of the Underworld!" Military Commander Lu Xu's pupils shrank as he said with some fear.

At this time, the Lord of the Underworld launched a huge shock wave towards this side.

The originally indestructible North Gate was instantly swallowed up by the black shock wave, and even a large area of the city behind it was affected.

If the people had not been evacuated in time last night, who knows how many people would have died from this impact.

"The outer city can no longer be defended. Retreat."

Zhu Meng immediately gave the order, but in fact he felt more relieved.

At least most people have been evacuated safely and the worst situation has not occurred.

"You retreat first, we will buy you some time." Xu Beichen said.

Zhu Meng first glanced at Xu Beichen, then at Di Tian. After a moment of contemplation, he said, "Just do your best, and don't put yourself in danger."

In his opinion, there was no problem in protecting Xu Beichen with Di Tian's strength. After all, he even killed the Ghost Tyrant easily.

"Don't worry." Xu Beichen replied.

After Zhu Meng and the others left, Mo Fan came up to Xu Beichen and said, "Brother Xu, does this rain sound familiar to you?"

Mo Fan's face looked a little grim. Seeing the gray sky and the incessant drizzle, it was hard not to think of the Bo City disaster three years ago.

Xu Beichen certainly understood what Mo Fan meant, after all, he was also in Bo City at the time.

"When I learned that those villages disappeared, I already had some guesses." Xu Beichen said seriously.

Mo Fan's face was filled with resentment, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Is it really those beasts from the Black Church who are responsible?!"

"Don't be angry. Evacuate with the others first." Xu Beichen patted Mo Fan's shoulder.

"What about you, Brother Xu? You're not really planning on facing these millions of undead souls alone, are you?"

Mo Fan was shocked. What would happen to Xinxia if something happened to Brother Xu?
"Don't worry, I'll be fine." Xu Beichen said.

With Di Tian's strength, it is not difficult to deal with the Lord of the Underworld and the Corpse of the Mountain, not to mention that it is just a matter of delaying a little time.
