Full-Time Magister: All-Element Mutant Star Child
Chapter 77 Search Around the City
Besides the theory that this land transforms into the dead, there is another theory that there is a spatial passage to a similarly dark plane or underworld deep within this land.
The spirits of the dark plane or the underworld come through this spatial passage to the earth outside this ancient capital, and then emerge from the earth to come to the surface.
There are quite a few people who agree with this statement, but not many.
Those who disagree argue that the Dark Dimension or the Underworld is very powerful, and if all other magical dimensions have spatial passages, how could such a small number of undead pass through each day?
Although several thousand undead servants are not a small number, they are nothing compared to the entire Dark Dimension, and the impact is too insignificant.
Dongfang Yang also thought about it for a while and felt that both of these statements were very likely, but he was more inclined to believe the former.
In addition to being the creator of the undead, the Ancient King was also a powerful earth mage.
It's not impossible that he transformed this land into an "armory" capable of continuously converting the undead.
Of course, the latter is also possible.
However, Dongfang Yang had no intention of investigating in detail how the undead came to be.
For the past week, every night, Dongfang Yang has been hunting undead to obtain not only their essence and remnants, but also their undead crystals, strange bones, or other valuable items.
Dongfang Yang killed a large number of undead servants every night, and in the past week he had obtained three servant-level alien bones.
Including other miscellaneous materials, Dongfang Yang earned a total of 2.5 million in the past week.
During the day, Dongfang Yang and Lingling would explore the busy tombs of the general-level warriors every day.
However, other mages may also explore the Undead Tomb, and the additional tombs that Dongfang Yang and Lingling purchased might be preempted by others.
In the past week, Dongfang Yang has only explored three tombs of the dead.
Of these three tombs, two contained only one undead warrior and over a hundred undead servants.
There is a tomb containing two undead warriors and three hundred undead servants.
However, Dongfang Yang's fire and light magic are extremely effective against the undead. Dongfang Yang's initial fire magic is enhanced to level six of the mortal rank, which is powerful and consumes little energy.
Dongfang Yang also has other types and magical tools.
Dongfang Yang encountered no problems exploring the three tombs of the dead.
In other words, it would not be so easy for someone else, a mid-level mage, to explore the tomb.
After exploring three tombs of general-level undead, Dongfang Yang collected over 550 slave-level remnant souls, three slave-level essence souls, and four general-level remnant souls.
The burial goods and materials from the three tombs added up to a considerable amount, but unfortunately, the storage space of the magical artifact was limited, so Dongfang Yang only took the most valuable parts.
They didn't take the less valuable materials.
Even so, the collection of spirits and burial goods from the three tombs earned Dongfang Yang a profit of twelve million.
If Dongfang Yang were to bring back those less valuable materials to the ancient capital and sell them, he could easily fetch a million.
This gave Dongfang Yang the idea of buying another storage magic device.
In the Ancient Capital Magic Market, there is a shop selling magical tools and artifacts.
The shopkeeper pointed to a magic ring on the shelf and introduced it to Dongfang Yang.
"Guest, this mortal-grade storage magic ring is the same as the one you bought last time. It also has a cube-shaped internal space with sides of three meters, and the price is also ten million."
Dongfang Yang said, "Let's choose this one."
It's not that there aren't storage magic artifacts with larger storage space, but for Dongfang Yang at present, two storage magic rings containing three-meter-long cube-shaped spaces are enough.
Storage devices with larger storage space are more expensive.
After Dongfang Yang's spatial system breaks through to the intermediate level, it will generate a storage space. This storage magic artifact can be used as a temporary measure; it's enough for now.
……
After Dongfang Yang returned to the hotel, Lingling spoke to him:
"Tomorrow we'll explore another general-level undead tomb. Hopefully, there will be a throat-sealing horned ghost inside."
Dongfang Yang and Lingling have been in the ancient capital for eight days. Although Dongfang Yang has made considerable gains, there is still no trace of the Throat-Sealing Ghost.
Including the days before arriving in the ancient capital, a third of the deadline for the commission has already passed.
If the quest fails to find and kill the Throat-Sealing Horned Demon to obtain the Ghost Robe within the next twenty days, the mission will have failed.
Lingling was also a little anxious; she didn't want to ruin her family's reputation by failing to complete the commission.
Dongfang Yang said, "I won't hunt undead tonight. I'll walk around the ancient city walls a few times and see if I can run into a throat-sealing horned ghost."
Dongfang Yang has earned more money than he earned from commissions in the past week, so he no longer cares so much about commissions.
Dongfang Yang failed to fulfill this request, but Qingtian Hunting Grounds probably wouldn't refuse him.
But this was, after all, his "assessment" for joining the Azure Sky Hunting Grounds, and it was also his first commission. Dongfang Yang didn't want to fail.
At night, the Soul Ring can collect essence and remnants of spirits on its own. Dongfang Yang can save time in battle by using the Soul Ring to collect even more essence and remnants of spirits as long as he travels through the undead.
As for the materials collected after killing undead, they're nothing special.
If Dongfang Yang hunts undead outside the ancient capital at night to collect materials, he can earn around a few hundred thousand. If he goes all out, the price should double.
However, as long as one walks around the city wall among the undead, the collected essence and fragments of the dead might be worth over a million, so Dongfang Yang wouldn't lose anything.
Lingling said, "We'll go together then."
Perhaps fearing that Dongfang Yang would disagree, Lingling quickly added, "I have a magical artifact that my grandfather prepared for me. I can protect my safety and won't distract you."
Lingling was also helpless.
If it were other demons, Lingling could try to find them, or directly use instruments that detect demons or energy concentration to determine their location.
However, the Throat-Sealing Horned Demon is an undead creature and a dark being. It is skilled in shadow magic and has a strong ability to hide. Even mages have difficulty detecting the Throat-Sealing Horned Demon's power fluctuations once it gets close.
Although the instrument can detect the energy concentration and distribution within a certain range, there are some things it cannot detect.
This time, as Dongfang Yang's partner, she did almost nothing in her role in handling this commission.
After thinking about it, Dongfang Yang ultimately decided not to refuse Lingling's request to come with him to search for the other dimension of the Throat-Sealing Demon.
……
That night, after the undead came to besiege the ancient capital again, Dongfang Yang and Lingling left the city wall through the nearest city gate and came outside.
Lingling said to Dongfang Yang, "Let's search for the Throat-Sealing Horned Ghost along the outer city wall. Don't stray too far from the wall, or something unexpected might happen."
Dongfang Yang nodded while maintaining a radiant ball of light, and then took the lead and walked in one direction.
Although they were walking along the city wall, they weren't completely touching it. Dongfang Yang and Lingling moved about 100 meters away from the city wall, and within that distance, the storage mage attacked the undead units.
