Wizard: Building a Cultivation Family from Scratch

"Damn it..."

A member of the Blackwater Knights gasped.

Because he discovered that these bodies, like "Karen" lying on the ground, were people who had died in the village of Buren!

It contains both mercenaries from the Ashenvale Mercenary Group and soldiers from the Hoover family.

Without exception, a bluish-black mushroom was parasitizing their bodies.

Some grow on the chest, some on the neck, and some are even embedded in the brain...

Their movements were stiff and strange, but without the slightest hesitation, they rushed madly towards the crowd as soon as they appeared.

Seeing the situation before him, Gordon immediately made a judgment:

It seems that the wild wizard was indeed hiding here.

And this will be a rare opportunity...

Thinking of this, Gordon drew his sword with a "whoosh" and cast a golden light spell on it.

Although Gordon was also interested in this wild wizard, he had never sought him out out of caution.

However, now that the two sides have collided, and given that my cultivation has recovered considerably, I might as well take this opportunity to seize the chance.

This wild wizard will surely become the key to unlocking the wizarding world for himself!

Thinking of this, Gordon pushed off with both feet and charged forward, swinging his golden knight's longsword heavily.

"laugh!"

Under the effect of the Golden Light spell, the enchanted longsword, which was subject to two layers of restrictions, became significantly more powerful.

It sliced ​​through the two corpses at the front with almost no resistance.

Since the Golden Light spell itself has a certain restraining effect on these undead creatures, after being cut open, the two corpses howled in pain on the ground and then gradually lost their ability to move.

However, Gordon did not stop what he was doing.

He took two steps forward and, with a "crack," crushed the bluish-black mushrooms that were parasitizing the two corpses.

"Watch out for these mushrooms growing on the corpses! They're key to controlling these guys!"

For Orianna and the members of the Blackwater Knights, Gordon's knowledge of witchcraft was no secret, so they trusted his words implicitly.

  

Led by Granger, several Blackwater Knights roared forward and plunged their knightly longswords into the corpses.

But with everyone's counterattack, the situation instantly reversed.

These manipulated corpses, though numerous and impervious to pain, were still vastly different from the Blackwater Knights clad in full enchanted gear.

In just a few breaths, nearly half of the dozens of corpses had been eliminated.

However, at that moment, Gordon, who had just killed three undead with the Golden Light spell, suddenly noticed that the undead form next to the old knight Granger seemed a bit strange.

Startled, he immediately called out a warning, "Be careful!"

The old knight, a veteran of countless battles, quickly retreated after hearing the warning.

It was at this moment that he saw clearly what the undead beside him looked like.

In the darkness, the undead's body seemed to be slowly swelling, its pale, cracked skin covered with fissures, and even oozing an unidentified bluish-green liquid.

"Damn it!" The old knight Granger's expression changed upon seeing this.

Because the mine was narrow, and with Orianna and other members of the Blackwater Knights behind him, he didn't have time to think. He could only grit his teeth and pull the giant shield over to block in front of him.

Almost at the same time, a loud bang suddenly rang out.

"Bang!!!"

The narrow mine tunnel made the explosion even louder, almost deafening everyone present.

The immense impact sent Granger flying, crashing heavily to the ground with a muffled groan.

"Uncle Granger!"

Orianna's expression changed, and she instinctively wanted to rush over.

However, before she could take a step, Gordon's voice rang out.

"Don't go over there!"

Upon hearing this voice, Orianna instinctively stopped in her tracks.

In that instant, the undead that had just self-destructed was completely blasted into a mass of rotting flesh and blood, with bluish-green liquid splattering onto the mine walls and the ground, making a hissing, corrosive sound.

A few drops of liquid even landed directly on the shield of a Blackwater Knight, corroding it and leaving a black mark.

Seeing this scene, everyone felt a chill.

It should be noted that although this shield is not as powerful as Granger's great shield, it is still an enchanted item, yet it has still been corroded and bears a mark.

"Cough cough..."

Granger coughed violently a few times, then braced himself with his longsword and gritted his teeth as he slowly got up from the ground.

In the explosion, his giant shield was completely deformed, and his armor was corroded with small holes. Fortunately, he was not seriously injured.

Even so, the current situation has become very bad.

Not only the corpse that just exploded, but there are also several undead in the narrow mine tunnel, their bodies gradually swelling up.

Given the power of the explosion just now, coupled with the narrow space of the mine tunnel, the consequences would be unimaginable if these undead also exploded.

Clearly, the old knight Granger had also noticed this.

His face was grim, he gritted his teeth, then suddenly got up from the ground, grabbed the shield of a Blackwater Knight next to him, and was about to charge at the undead whose bodies were swelling.

It seems he intends to hold off these undead single-handedly, creating space for Orianna and the others to escape.

However, at that very moment, he suddenly heard a faint whooshing sound.

"call out!"

Immediately afterward, by the faint light of the ever-burning lamps on the mine wall, he saw a wind blade fly past his ear and accurately strike the bluish-black mushroom on the undead body in front of him.

"Pfft!"

As the mushroom was cut open, the corpse, which had been swelling, suddenly froze, then collapsed heavily to the ground as if all its strength had been drained away.

The corrosive liquid that had not yet fully exploded slowly flowed out along the cracks in the corpse, never to have another chance to explode...

At this moment, Granger, who had rushed halfway, was stunned.

Before he could react, several more wind blades flew past him.

This time, the wind blades flew towards the undead in front of them like a raging storm.

"Pfft!"

"Pfft!"

Soft popping sounds continued to ring out.

The bluish-black mushrooms that parasitized the dead were precisely sliced ​​open, and the dead fell to the ground.

Corrosive liquid slowly seeped from their bodies, filling the entire mine tunnel with a foul odor...

This fierce attack lasted for a full half minute before it stopped.

In that half minute, all the undead that had been howling and charging towards the crowd were now lying on the ground.

The mine suddenly fell silent...
