Versatile Mage: The Zhou Family's Young Master Forcefully Marries Mu Ningxue

Chapter 124 The Final Trial: Hunting the Undead
After Zhou Haoyu led his team to finish the match against the Egyptian national team, he stayed in the city to wait for Ai Jiangtu and the others.

"Wow, Yu-ge, where did you pick up this pretty girl?"

As soon as Zhao Manyan saw the stunningly beautiful girl next to Zhou Haoyu, he immediately put his arm around Zhou Haoyu's shoulder and winked at him.

Although Zhou Haoyu had already formed a contract with Apas, he did not leave her in the contract space.

Because of this, Apas's resentment towards Zhou Haoyu lessened considerably.

"The National Pavilion Medal is enough. As long as I complete the last training mission, I can go to Venice."

Zhou Haoyu slapped Zhao Manyan's arm away and looked at everyone.

Upon hearing this, everyone looked on with anticipation.

As national team athletes, they all hope to shine at the Venice Games and achieve dazzling results!

"Captain, our last mission isn't going to be killing undead, is it?"

Zhao Manyan spoke up.

Egypt is most famous for two things: the pyramids and the dead.

Nine times out of ten, the training tasks assigned by the mentor are related to the dead.

“That’s right. Our mentor sent us to the city of Pushini. Our mission was to help the Egyptian army hunt down the undead.”

Zhou Haoyu said calmly.

Upon hearing the word "dead spirit," Nan Rongni, Mu Tingying, and the others' faces immediately fell.

Normally, undead are more difficult to deal with than ordinary demons; they are hard to kill unless the undead crystal is destroyed.

"Anyway, with the captain here, what is there to worry about?"

Zhao Manyan said dismissively.

Zhou Haoyu simply smiled faintly; he was naturally aware of the specifics of this training mission.

A mirage of just one pyramid can bring a city to the brink of collapse.

If it were a real pyramid, the city of Pushini wouldn't have lasted even half a day.

"By the way, Captain, did you hear about the big battle a couple of days ago in Egypt?"

Ai Jiangtu, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke.

The attack of a million undead on the Serpent Empire was such a huge commotion that it naturally attracted the attention of the Egyptian military.

However, by the time they arrived, the Serpent Empire was left only with devastation.

The corpses of snakes and scorpions were piled up like a mountain, causing a huge uproar in just two days.

“I’ve heard a little about this battle; it seems quite a few undead have appeared,” Zhou Haoyu said.

"Undead?"

Everyone immediately thought of the Egyptian undead. The only force in the vicinity capable of attacking the Serpent Empire was probably Khufu's underworld.

As for the relationship between Khufu and Queen Medusa, they were unaware of it.

Apas glanced at Zhou Haoyu with her beautiful eyes. Doesn't this guy get tired of acting?
They clearly possess the strength of an emperor, yet they still choose to participate in this human competition. It's truly baffling.

The city of Pushkin.

The city isn't very developed; stone fences are everywhere outside the city, and many streets and houses are made of stone.

Compared to the developed capital, Pushini is more like a small county town.

As the group walked along the bluestone street, they would occasionally see several injured mages, and some were even being carried away on stretchers.

"Judging from this, the situation in this city is not optimistic," Zhao Manyan said.

"Otherwise, why would our advisor have sent us here?"

"That's true."

"Let's go and see what's going on."

Following the direction the wounded were taken, we soon arrived at an area filled with tents. The opulent, cream-colored tents were topped with a flag bearing a flower wheel—the very symbol of the Parthenon.

The Parthenon is one of the world's top powers, and even though it has declined somewhat in recent years, it is still one of the top powers.

After walking a little closer, Mo Fan excitedly rushed out of the group and ran to a woman from the Goddess Palace.

"Mo Fan actually knows people from the Goddess Palace?!"

Ai Jiangtu and the others were all surprised when they saw this.

Healing mages are highly valued in any faction, and the members of the Goddess Temple are the most outstanding among them.

"Never mind him, let's go check out the situation up ahead."

Zhou Haoyu urged everyone to continue forward.

Led by Zhou Haoyu, the group carefully investigated the city's situation.

A mirage of a pyramid appeared near the city, and countless spirits gathered toward the pyramid.

"Damn it, why are all the training missions our mentor assigns so dangerous?!"

Zhao Manyan said, full of resentment.

Previously, they almost got lost in the Sahara Desert.

Fortunately, Jiang Yu possessed the Chaos System, and it took him a long time to decipher the labyrinth.

“We only need to cooperate with the Egyptian military; the real main force is not us,” Zhou Haoyu said.

The following morning, Zhou Haoyu led his team to meet up with the Egyptian army.

The Egyptian military had already formed ranks, led by a female sorceress over forty years old.

He was dressed simply and smartly, with incredibly sharp eyes and a fierce aura.

When Zhao Manyan saw this female general, a strange look appeared in his eyes. He was very interested in this kind of strong woman.

Zhou Haoyu noticed his gaze and was taken aback; this guy really didn't care about anything.

It truly lives up to its name as a walking stapler!
Staff Officer Fenner ignored Zhao Manyan's gaze and looked at Zhou Haoyu, saying, "You follow the team forward. The Poison Gold Mummy is your responsibility."

"No problem, just be careful yourselves."

Zhou Haoyu said that the battle between humans and demons is brutal, and countless mages will die in this battle.

“No problem.” Zhou Haoyu nodded.

The group followed the second wave of people forward. Their goal this time was to capture the high ground fifteen kilometers away from the pyramids, but the high ground was blocked by a poisonous golden mummy.

The Egyptian military sent several teams to attempt to storm the high ground, but all attempts ultimately failed.

"The Egyptian military only asked us to help them hold the high ground, so we don't need to fight this poisoned mummy to the death. We can just go around to the rear and hold out for a while."

Nan Jue proposed a relatively safe strategy.

“I think it’s feasible, what do you think, Captain?” Ai Jiangtu said.

"That's too complicated. Let's be more direct. I'll deal with the commander, and you guys take care of the other soldiers."

Zhou Haoyu shook his head. With his current strength, dealing with a commander would only take the time it takes to throw a few flying swords.

"This"

Ai Jiangtu's lips curled into a bitter smile. The plan was indeed feasible, but it made them feel like they were easy targets.

"I'll go first, and you can follow behind."

After saying that, Zhou Haoyu instantly disappeared from everyone's sight.

"Who gave you permission to act without authorization!"

Upon seeing Zhou Haoyu suddenly disappear, Dongjun Tong Wankos shouted.

Staff Officer Fenner didn't say anything; she could sense that the captain of the Chinese team was somewhat different from others.
