Versatile Mage: One innate talent for each system

Chapter 57: The Tomb of Corpse Ministers (Please Read It Again!!!)

"I'm going outside the city."

Jiang Yuan was the first to break the oppressive silence.

"Okay, I'll go with you." Qin Feng turned around and walked towards the front desk of the lobby without any hesitation.

Since they have decided to leave the city and face the endless undead in the underground outside the city, the power of just the two of them is too weak.

So he was going to issue a bounty and organize a team of hunters to go together.

The process of issuing a bounty commission is not complicated. As long as you can afford the bounty, you can entrust most hunter teams.

Of course, some powerful hunter teams, in addition to bounties, also need hunter points to improve their hunter level.

Qin Feng did not hesitate at all. He not only offered a generous bounty, but also invested all his hunter points into it.

"New bounty released!"

"Go to a location five kilometers east of the city to investigate the tide of undead corpses."

As soon as the bounty was issued, the eye-catching red font instantly attracted the hunters' attention.

They surrounded them in an instant like sharks smelling blood.

However, when they saw the commissioned location, their originally excited expressions froze instantly, their faces were full of weirdness, and then they shook their heads and left with gloomy faces.

"This commission is too dangerous. I can't accept it!"

"There are several tombs of corpse ministers over there, which one we can't go to? Let's try another commission."

The east of the city is an extremely dangerous area, and only powerful hunter teams dare to go there.

Jiang Yuan and Qin Feng waited quietly for a hunter willing to take on the commission.

"Don't worry too much. Your teacher once acquired an ability that allowed him to transform himself into a being similar to the undead, with the same strength and magic level. He is a high-level third-level undead mage, which means he can transform into a Grand Commander-level undead."

Seeing Jiang Yuan remained silent and anxious, Qin Feng couldn't help but comfort him, "As long as no monarch-level undead appear, his life will be safe."

Jiang Yuan nodded slightly.

But I couldn't help but think more.

The wave of undead seen on the city wall that day was almost endless.

Qin Yun has been outside for two nights. Can he really be safe?

Since the incident was caused by me, I should at least go there in person.

Jiang Yuan prayed silently in his heart, hoping there was still a glimmer of hope.

After waiting for more than an hour, a team of hunters took on the commission.

Everything was ready, and everyone set off out of the city without stopping.

...............

East gate.

The scene along the way was completely different from other wildernesses. Fine white sand could be seen everywhere, with scattered bones dotted among them.

At night, these remains will be devoured by the lowest level of undead, and the next day they will be in a different state.

It is daytime now, and the bright sunlight makes people feel an unprecedented sense of security.

But none of them knew whether a powerful undead was buried under their feet.

"What are you doing at the Corpse Minister's Tomb?" The hunter, who was leading the way, couldn't help but ask curiously.

Corpse ministers are usually commanding-level demons.

"The Tomb of Corpse Ministers? Are there any powerful Corpse Ministers there?" Qin Feng frowned slightly and asked. Although Qin Yun had lived in the ancient capital for a long time.

But he has been defending the waves of undead on the city wall all the time and rarely has the opportunity to leave the city.

Therefore, he did not know much about the specific locations of the undead around the ancient capital.

The hunter captain looked solemn and said, "It seems you don't know yet. There are three large tombs of corpse ministers in that area, and dozens of tombs of corpse generals guarding the surrounding area. A while ago, there was also a tide of undead corpses. No one knows what the current situation is there."

He paused, a trace of fear on his face. "If it weren't daytime, there's no way we'd accept such a dangerous commission."

Under the suppression of the sun, even a commander-level demon would not easily crawl out of the tomb.

Even so, only their team with high-level mages dared to accept the commission, which was enough to illustrate the level of danger of this commission.

After hearing this, Qin Feng was shocked and turned to look at Jiang Yuan.

Jiang Yuan looked calm, without any sign of fear.

The captain looked up at the position of the sun and suddenly shouted, "Speed ​​up! We have to get back to the ancient capital before dark!"

A distance of five kilometers is not far for a magician.

However, because we had to pay attention to the dangers around us at all times, the travel speed was a little slower, but it only took more than an hour to reach the destination.

There was still plenty of time until dusk.

At the tomb of the corpse minister, the originally yellow soil has turned as black as ink under the long-term erosion of death energy. A faint black mist slowly swirls in the cracks of the sand and gravel, revealing an indescribable weirdness.

There was no sign of any living thing anywhere, and even the plants looked gray and withered.

Jiang Yuan looked at the dead silent scene in front of him, and a strong sense of unease surged in his heart.

In such a unique environment, it is the most suitable place to nourish the undead.

A major characteristic of the undead is that the longer they exist, the stronger they become.

No one knows how many undead souls exist in this land, nor how long they have been sleeping here.

The only thing that is certain is that once this kingdom of the dead awakens, it will be the most terrifying disaster for all living things!!
The undead do not distinguish between humans and demons!!

"Don't use magic casually. If you wake up the corpse ministers sleeping in the tomb, none of us can escape!" The hunter captain looked gloomy and warned in a deep voice.

His eyes were fixed on the soil eroded by death, as if a horrible monster would emerge from there at any time.

"I don't care what you're here for. Our mission is to ensure your safety during the day. Don't try to wake them up. Even during the day, we might be dragged underground!"

The hunter captain emphasized this again and again, and then directed the others to protect Qin Feng and Jiang Yuan in the center.

Jiang Yuan and Qin Feng looked at each other, took a deep breath, and officially stepped into the area of ​​the Corpse Minister's Tomb and began to search for Qin Yun's traces.

After experiencing a tide of undead corpses, almost all traces of living things here were buried, but if you look closely, you can still find some traces of magic.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Jiang Yuan continued to search the area with electromagnetic fields, keeping his eyes fixed on everything around him, not missing any subtle clues.

But still nothing was found.

Isn't it on the ground, or underground?

As soon as this idea came up, Jiang Yuan immediately felt that it was very likely.

I was afraid of disturbing the corpse ministers and generals, so I didn't penetrate the electromagnetic field into the underground tomb.

Now that was the only place left that had not been searched.
