Full-Time Magister: Heavy Water Overturns the World

……

The situation is indeed as Tavi said.

Once they left the path to the afterlife, the once quiet tomb became noisy.

Undead!

The dead are everywhere!

These spirits discovered the people of China.

In this pure death zone, the presence of living people is far too conspicuous.

However, to everyone's relief, these undead were all the lowest-ranking servants, not even a single warrior or advanced-stage being, so breaking through shouldn't be difficult.

“This section is full of the spirits of the dead who were buried with the pharaoh. Once we get through to the area where the pharaoh sleeps, there won’t be so many spirits,” Tavi said.

Everyone nodded, but Mao Xianyi's eyes sharpened as he watched the undead army gradually gathering around them, his body already crackling with lightning.

"Everyone!"

"As planned, prepare for battle!"

As Mao Xianyi's voice fell, a meteorite thunderclap followed.

"Thunder! Boom!"

A muffled thunderclap resounded, and a crimson mummy was reduced to charcoal. How could a mere servant possibly withstand the impact of the Soul Seed's lightning!
The others started moving too.

After Mu Fangming finished drawing the ice-based star map, several ice locks shot out and pierced through the bodies of the mummies, freezing them in place with their biting cold.

Meanwhile, the ice vines quietly spread.

Ice-based area magic is undoubtedly perfect for group battles. As the area covered by ice vines expands and the temperature drops, more and more undead are affected.

Leng Qing and Zu Xiangtian both joined the battle, but Bai Mei and Nan Yi didn't participate much, mainly staying by Seth and Tavi's side to protect them.

Not to mention Nan Yi, Bai Mei's fire element and Mu Fangming's ice element are inherently contradictory and can easily interfere with each other. Moreover, Bai Mei is now more powerful in commanding demons, so she needs to conserve her strength to deal with the dangers ahead.

There were quite a few undead, but fortunately, the combination of Ice Vines and Thunderbolts was extremely efficient at clearing out the debris, and the group easily passed through the burial area.

After Seth intervened again and chose a direction for everyone, those undead who were almost devoid of intelligence dared not take another step forward.

"Phew~ I finally made it through." Mu Fangming breathed a sigh of relief and revealed a smug smile.

In the battle just now, apart from Mao Xianyi, he made the greatest contribution; even Zu Xiangtian was not as useful as him.

I'd better brag to the clan and ask for more resources.

But before everyone could rejoice, Nan Yi suddenly frowned slightly and said, "An undead has arrived."

The next instant, a powerful and undisguised aura emanated from the deep palace in the distance!

"Be careful, they're most likely tomb guards!" Tavi's voice was serious.

Suddenly, a dozen or so sharp arrows shot out from the depths at an astonishing speed, arriving in front of the group in the blink of an eye!
It targeted everyone, leaving no one out!
Mu Fangming was terrified and instinctively tried to activate his shield magic, but realized it was too late. Was he going to be riddled with bullets just as he was starting to make a name for himself?
But in the next instant, streams of dark blue water suddenly formed, enveloping everyone.

"Whoosh!"

The sound of arrows piercing the air followed immediately.

"Sizzle!!!"

Immediately, the arrow collided with the water, producing a loud evaporation sound!
But what was evaporated was not the water-resistant membrane, but the sudden arrow. Only now did everyone see what the arrow looked like.

The arrow was entirely black, with a needle-like tip. It pierced the water completely, but could not penetrate any further!
Where the arrow met the water, the source of the billowing black mist was where the arrowheads evaporated and dissolved like boiling water, quickly disappearing by more than half.

"Be careful, this is a poisoned arrow," Nan Yi warned.

His heavy water itself possessed a purifying effect, an effect bestowed upon Nan Yi by the Emperor's Platform, which could suppress the venomous snake Xiang Liu. There was virtually no toxin that Nan Yi could not purify. Upon hearing Nan Yi's words, everyone showed expressions of lingering fear.

If Nan Yi had been even a fraction later, even if they had summoned their defensive magical artifacts, they would have been in serious danger of dying if they had bumped into something and been poisoned.

Before anyone could think, a series of scattered and dense "tap-tap" sounds came from deep within.

Mao Xianyi glanced at Han Li, who understood immediately and threw a beam of light into the depths of the dark palace. In an instant, the darkness vanished.

Everyone gasped in shock.

“Serkett…” Tavi’s voice rang out, her tone very serious.

In the distance, on the walls and even the ceiling, hung upside down figures of half-human, half-scorpion.

Their upper bodies are shriveled humanoid mummies with unusually long arms that reach past their knees, and three forked bony claws like scorpion pincers replacing normal human fingers.

Its lower body was not legs, but a thick scorpion tail, made of pure black venomous energy and bone fragments, with the tip pointing high, just like the arrow that had attacked everyone earlier.

The so-called arrow was shot directly from the energy gathered in the scorpion's tail. As the distance drew closer, people could even see the venom dripping from the tip of the scorpion's tail, which emitted black mist upon landing.

“Selkait? What’s that?” Li Yang asked.

“The Scorpion Goddess, Pharaoh created these guards from her shadow.” Tavi spoke a fraction faster than usual: “Poison is Serket’s power, and so is healing—but Pharaoh only took half of the poison.”

Along with Tavi's voice came arrows from afar.

This time, it wasn't just a dozen or so arrows, but a barrage of pure black arrows that filled the sky!
Li Yang subconsciously raised his armor magic tool, and even more uneasy, he took out two shield magic tools to cover his exposed face and genitals, for fear of getting even a trace of poison on them.

He didn't think that this thin layer of water could withstand such a terrifying barrage of arrows. Judging by its power, that Serket thing was at least at the level of an advanced-stage warrior, and several of them had even reached the level of a commander!

But then, he froze.

Because he didn't feel any impact or recoil.

what's the situation?
Is its power really that small?

Just as he was wondering, he turned his head and saw that the others hadn't made a single move and had blocked the rain of arrows with just water.

In the open space to the side, where there was no water protection, the arrow pierced through the floor and embedded itself deeply!

You should know that this floor is specially made, and we don't know what kind of magic it contains. Even Mao Xianyi's Thunderbolt Strike could only barely make a dent.

Undoubtedly, the power of this single arrow was close to that of a peak mid-level attack! But even so, it failed to penetrate Nan Yi's water defenses...

This was the first time Li Yang had witnessed Nan Yi's strength, which was completely different from what he had imagined. Was this water defense even human-level?

Mao Xianyi's voice had already rang out.

"Han Li, mental interference."

"Mu Fangming and Bing Man held their ground to the death, while Nan Yi and Qin Mo protected the researchers."

"The rest of you will fight alongside me."

After speaking, Mao Xianzhou suddenly released bursts of lightning from his body, and a destructive wave was gathering, with the star map standing brightly.

"thunderbolt!"

"Yaksha!"

A crisp, thunderous roar erupted!

The forked arcs of lightning bombarded the guards, but unexpectedly, Mao Xianyi did not attack their bodies, but instead attacked the dome and side walls!
In an instant, a series of lightning arcs exploded, and bursts of debris scattered, forcing the Serket guards, who had lost their footing, to the ground.

At this moment, the battle truly began.
