Chapter 539 Trip to the Southern Continent
Kalon floated above the ruins, his pale bone staff held high, a dark purple light enveloping the undead he had taken in.
"Master," Caron's voice rang in Liu Nian's mind, tinged with barely suppressed excitement, "I have recruited twenty-seven bone dragons, three hundred ghoul knights, twelve hundred liches, and approximately five thousand giant skeleton warriors!"
Having eliminated a traitor and recruited his men, Caron couldn't have been happier.
"Not bad." Liu Nian nodded. "Take a look. I didn't find the teleportation array in this city before."
Kalon put away the recruited undead and said, "Master, please follow me!"
The teleportation array was built in a prison-like room at the bottom of the fortress. Most of the surrounding walls had collapsed, and the roof was cracked with countless fissures, through which grayish-white sunlight leaked and shone on the stone slabs engraved with runes.
Kalon floated to the center of the teleportation array, slamming his pale bone staff to the ground. A dark purple light shot out from the tip of the staff and disappeared into the rune plate beneath his feet.
hum-
The teleportation array lit up, and dark golden light surged from the rune panel, forming an energy vortex.
"Master, we are ready."
"Let's set off then!"
The light from the teleportation array engulfed Liu Nian's figure. After a brief moment of dizziness, his feet landed on unfamiliar land.
Southern Continent.
A dry, hot wind carrying the smell of sand rushed towards him. Liu Nian wrinkled his nose and looked around.
The sky was a dark yellow, as if shrouded in a thick layer of dust, and the sun, suspended in mid-air, was astonishingly large.
The teleportation array was built on a low stone platform, which was beautifully restored.
"This teleportation array doesn't seem as well-hidden as you described. It seems to be used frequently," Liu Nian asked.
Kalon floated beside him, and the eerie blue flame at the tip of his pale bone staff flickered.
"It looks like it was taken by some clueless guy."
As soon as he finished speaking, the sand around the stone platform suddenly began to churn.
One by one, withered arms covered with dark yellow bandages emerged from the sand, followed by heads, torsos, and legs—mummies crawled out of the ground.
They are not high-level, generally between level 300 and 400, but there are quite a few of them.
The mummies in the front row wore tattered bronze armor, held rusty scimitars in their hands, and had dark green ghost fire burning in their eye sockets, staring intently at Liu Nian and Kalon.
"Intruders!" the lead mummy roared hoarsely. "This is the territory of Lord Death Bone! State your purpose, or else—"
He hadn't finished speaking.
Liu Nian merely tilted his head slightly and glanced at the mummy.
Holy light exploded from his body, a golden halo spreading outwards from him. Wherever the halo passed, the mummies' bodies burned like pieces of paper, the dark green will-o'-the-wisps screamed and died out in the holy light, the dried bandages turned to ash, and the rotting flesh sizzled under the burning holy light.
In the blink of an eye, dozens of mummies were reduced to a pile of charred remains.
I must say, the Holy Light is really effective against the undead.
Only the leading elite was still standing, and Liu Qingnian let out a soft "Eh."
This guy is interesting; he's still alive?
Kalon directly used his rank to suppress the low-level undead, forcing it to serve him. But soon, Kalon's eyes widened in curiosity.
"This guy..." Kalon looked at Liu Nian, "Master, this guy... isn't an undead!"
"Then what is this?"
From the outside, it looks like a real mummy.
"Please wait a moment!"
Kalon extracted and swallowed the elite monster's soul fire, then opened his eyes a moment later: "I've retrieved its memories; it's a vampire!"
"Vampires?" Liu Nian's eyes widened.
"And..." Karon continued, "it belongs to a minor undead lord called the Bone of Death in the nearby town of Black Coffin. Interestingly, that minor lord... is also a vampire!"
Liu Nian looked thoughtfully at the charred vampire remains on the ground, then glanced at Caron.
"This is getting interesting. The local tyrant is actually a vampire?"
"Yes, a vampire disguised as an undead." Kalon's voice deepened, and the will-o'-the-wisp in his single eye flickered. "According to this elite's memories, the Bone of Death has been operating in the Southern Continent for at least several decades. It never shows its true face; to outsiders, it is merely a high-ranking lich."
Liu Nian narrowed his eyes, the news he had heard earlier flashing through his mind.
"That player named Ashburn mentioned before that the undead of the Eastern Continent have been fighting the vampire world," he said slowly. "Could it be that those vampires realized they couldn't break through head-on, so they simply bypassed the Eastern Continent and infiltrated the Southern Continent?"
Caron was silent for a moment, then nodded.
"Very likely. The Pharaoh-affiliated undead forces in the Southern Continent were already a disorganized mess, and their strength was not as great as that of the two main continents. It would indeed be much easier for vampires to establish themselves here."
"Moreover," Caron added, "it's been operating here for decades, so it's hard to say how far it's come."
"I don't care about that. I just want to find Amenhotep as soon as possible, kill him, and get the Eye of Horus for you."
Caron gave Liu Nian a grateful look.
If Liu Nian were to rely on himself, finding Amenhote on such a vast continent would be extremely difficult, especially if that guy was deliberately hiding.
But as Amencht's former master, Karon naturally had a way!
In his quest for revenge, he will keep the soul imprints of those traitors firmly stored within him!
Previously, he couldn't sense it because of the dimensional barrier, but now that they are on the same continent, it's not difficult.
Especially Amenhot, who possesses the Eye of Horus, and Charon's connection to the Eye of Horus is extremely strong!
"Can you sense where Amenhote is?"
Kalon closed his eyes, and the will-o'-the-wisp at the tip of his pale bone staff suddenly leaped.
"I sense it, Master. The aura of the Eye of Horus is in this direction." He raised his bone staff, pointing southwest. "About three hundred kilometers. Very faint, but definitely there."
"Three hundred kilometers, that's quite a distance. What's your suggestion?"
After a moment's thought, Karon said, "There are no teleportation arrays I know of near the area where Amenhote is located, and that guy has mastered my skills. If you, Master, just go there in a big show of attacking, I guarantee he'll run away the moment he sees you!"
Liu Nian thought to himself, "How dare you say that!"
You're a running man, but your subordinate, a traitor, is an even bigger supercar!
At most you can ride away on a whale, but that guy just opens a cross-dimensional portal and runs away!
That truly shows the student surpassing the master.
Therefore, we must not act rashly or alert Amenkht.
If he manages to escape to some unknown dimension again, it will probably be difficult to find him again!
