Versatile Mage: Choose one of three Hexes at the start

Chapter 136 Asha'ruya Wants to Hit Someone

Asaria's two followers were clearly anxious about the lack of gray garlic.

After all, this is their guarantee of unimpeded movement in the wild. Without the gray garlic to conceal their life force, they would be facing countless undead.

Therefore, the bearded man directly suggested returning to the ancient capital to restock, but this suggestion was immediately rejected by the burly man.

The yield of gray garlic is extremely low, and even if he wanted to exchange some more gray garlic from the people in Weiju Village, it would be impossible in the short term.

It will take at least several months.

"I do have a suggestion."

Asha's sudden words drew everyone's attention.

“On the way here, I observed carefully and found that not all areas have undead. So we can hold off on taking the gray garlic in the second half of the night. Even if we encounter a small group of undead, we can just hunt them down. We can take the gray garlic when we can’t handle it.”

It must be said that this is indeed the best solution at the moment, so everyone present agreed to the plan.

Time passes slowly.

Su Chi and the others had already traveled three or four miles away from Yangyang Village. Along the way, they strictly followed the previous plan and did not use any gray garlic.

In addition, the spirits in this area are different from those in the previous area.

The undead in this area were mostly wandering around in twos and threes, and they were all rotting corpses of servant level. They were eliminated by the two followers who were trying to show off behind Asha'ruya without Su Chi and the others even having to lift a finger.

"Watch out! More undead are approaching!!"

The two short men leading the way noticed that several more undead were approaching, so they spoke up to warn them.

Hehehe~~
Several rotting corpses, each holding a sharp rock, caught the scent of living people and immediately stopped grinding their teeth. Then, as if mechanical, they turned their decaying heads, their scarlet eyes locking onto Su Chi and the others.

next second.

The rotting corpses charged at the dwarf leader like hungry wild dogs seeing food.

"Hmph! You're asking for death! Ice Lock - Bone Crusher!!"

An exceptionally thick chain, formed from ice crystals, suddenly shot out from the bearded man's side and bound the several tightly packed rotting corpses together.

As the bearded man raised his right hand and clenched it tightly, the bones of these rotting corpses were crushed, turning into a pool of frozen, mushy flesh that had collapsed on the ground.

Seeing that he had dealt with all the rotting corpses with a single spell, the bearded man inadvertently turned his head to look at Asha's side.

However, contrary to his expectations, he did not receive praise from Asha'ruya, but instead a series of admonitions and warnings.

"Ali, don't waste your magic power."

These two attendants were brought by Asha'ruya from Greece, and they have been with her for some time.

Therefore, upon hearing this, the bearded man immediately performed a very strange gesture, which Su Chi guessed meant he was listening to a teaching.

After dealing with the few rotting corpses, the group resumed their journey.

This was already the umpteenth attack they had encountered, so everyone was used to it.

As the group continued their journey towards Huacun, they encountered more and more undead.

Fortunately, all the undead they encountered were servants, so they were all dealt with by the dwarf leader and Azharia's two followers.

Time passed quickly, and no one knew how far they had walked, but it was clear that the sky was about to brighten.

"It will be dawn in about an hour."

The short man in the lead glanced at his watch, then turned to Su Chi and the others behind him and said with a smile.

You could tell the dwarf was in a very good mood, after all, they had successfully survived the rest of the night in the wild without taking any garlic, something that had never happened in his previous commissions.

Moreover, because they did not consume the grey garlic in the latter half of the night, the amount of grey garlic remaining was roughly the same as the dwarf man had calculated earlier.

This means they are guaranteed to arrive at Huacun safely.

"Heh, I thought your country's Land of the Dead was some kind of formidable place. It looks nothing special. I walked all night and didn't encounter a single warrior-level undead. Just some insignificant servants and rotting corpses." The bearded man laughed heartily.

However, unlike his loud laughter, the burly man leading the group instantly changed his expression.

"Damn! Bro! This place is really weird, you can't just say things like that!" The burly man quickly told the bearded man to stop laughing.

But the bearded man didn't seem to care and just grinned and laughed.

Boom! ! !

Suddenly, a huge silver lightning bolt ripped across the sky, accompanied by deafening thunder.

The bearded man was clearly frightened and immediately shut his mouth.

After all, the lightning came so suddenly that he thought it was aimed at him.

As lightning and thunder continued to flash in the sky, large drops of rain fell from the sky.

The sudden storm caught everyone off guard.

Fortunately, Su Chi reacted very quickly, and almost in the blink of an eye, he covered everyone with a layer of water protection.

"Phew! Luckily you awakened a water-type ability, Chi Zi, otherwise I would have been soaked to the bone," Mo Fan said with some relief.

The circulating water belt that enveloped everyone completely kept the heavy rain out, protecting those who hadn't brought rain gear from the cold rain.

The short man leading the group, however, focused his attention on a stream of blood-red water that had been washed away by the rain.

"Damn it, the blood flowing from the front is getting more and more abundant. There must be a giant corpse over there. We have to take a detour." The short man was very experienced, and he was able to make some judgments based on the blood.

The burly man then turned his attention directly to the bearded man.

"I told you this place is eerie, and I told you not to laugh, but you wouldn't listen."

For Da Zhuangnan, who has lived in Yangyang Village for the first half of his life, there are many things he needs to avoid. The kind of behavior that the bearded man did would be punishable in Yangyang Village.

The bearded man was also feeling a little guilty, and even his voice unconsciously lowered: "Let's leave quickly."

Unlike others, Asha's attention remained focused on Su Chi after he released his Water Defense.

Because the water rings on everyone's bodies were slightly different from traditional water defenses, and considering the speed at which Su Chi released his magic and the number of water rings, this information broker from an extraordinary background instantly realized something.

Asharuya glanced at Su Chi, who had a calm expression beside her, and then turned her head back as if nothing had happened, but the corners of her mouth behind the black silk veil were slightly raised.

Led by the burly man, the group took a slight detour to the right.

However, it's unclear whether there were simply too many undead here, or if their group was just unlucky.

Before they had gone far, a chilling roar came from beside the group. Then, a gigantic corpse with an unusually grotesque shape burst into view.

This enormous, rotting corpse, as strong as an ox, had a small head like a woman's, with its unusually dirty and messy long hair falling to both sides, revealing a face full of ferocity and malice.

Several hideous, decaying arms grew from the sides of the upper body, each arm holding a rusty knife or axe. Rainwater fell on these knives and axes, washing away the remaining bloodstains.

"Great Corpse General!!"

This extremely impactful scene left the short man completely shaken.

Having lived in this ancient capital for so many years, he was very clear about the terror of the Corpse General.

Generally speaking, the vast majority of undead in the wild are just servant-level corpses. As long as their numbers are not large, a mid-level mage like the dwarf man basically doesn't take them seriously.

But if you encounter a Corpse General, you can only pray that it can't outrun you.

Even disregarding the Corpse General's own strength, its ability to summon all the undead within a one-kilometer radius is enough to give a mid-level mage squad a run for their money, not to mention the Corpse General in front of them, which has clearly been nurtured in the land of the dead for decades.

"Run!! Run!! We are no match for it!!"

The short man still had some conscience; he knew to notify the others in the group to run together, instead of abandoning Su Chi and the others as cannon fodder for their successful escape.

At this moment, the giant corpse general not far away also spotted Su Chi and his group.

Why!! Why did you abandon me?!

The giant corpse moved the stiff mouth of the woman's head on top of it, emitting a very shrill and unpleasant sound, as if filled with the intent of an evil spirit demanding a life.

The wind was biting cold, and the rain was pouring down.

The axe-wielding corpse charged towards the group, brandishing its shield, axe, and longsword, uttering chilling words: "Come join me!! Come join me!!"

"Oh no! There's a large group of rotting corpses surrounding us!" A follower who had been silent beside Asha'ruya suddenly shouted a warning.

"Don't panic."

Asharia quickly suppressed her attendants' exclamations and instructed, "Ashin Ali, you go deal with the surrounding rotting corpses. Leave this axe-wielding corpse to me."

The two short men, who originally wanted to run away immediately, hesitated for a moment after seeing the mysterious woman in the group speak, and then chose to stop and join the bearded man in dealing with the servant-level rotting corpses.

"Chi Zi, what should we say?" Mo Fan looked at Su Chi.

He wasn't flustered at all, after all, he knew his good brother's strength very well.

It was nothing more than a lowly warrior-level undead; for Su Chi, who had hunted down commander-level demons, it was a piece of cake.

Liu Ru, standing to the side, also appeared indifferent. She didn't make a move because she was waiting for Su Chi to speak.

the other side.

A moon-white spatial rift appeared in front of Asha'ruya.

Immediately afterwards, a rapid sound of horses' hooves came from the spatial rift.

Ta-ta-ta-ta! !
next second.

A jet-black horse, covered in thick black fur and with a single horn flashing with black lightning, galloped out from among them.

A figure dressed in black armor sat on the back of the unicorn horse, but the armor was empty inside.

Ugh~~
The unicorn black horse raised its forelegs and let out a loud cry, then charged towards the axe-wielding corpse general like a black arrow shot out.

At the same time, the axe-wielding corpse general also raised his giant axe high and smashed it down fiercely towards the Night Knight.

However, it underestimated the speed of the Night Knight. Before the giant axe in the hands of the Axe Corpse General could fall, the Night Knight had already rushed to the side of the Axe Corpse General.

Whoosh~~
A sound like a sword being drawn was heard.

A huge hole was pierced through the body of the axe-wielding corpse general, and the next moment, blackish blood gushed out from the wound.

After completing this attack, the Night Knight followed up with a side slash as the two passed each other.

The sharp knight's sword cleanly severed one of the arms of the axe-wielding corpse general.

As his arm slammed to the ground, the axe-wielding corpse let out a roar that was hard to tell whether it was from pain or rage.

He immediately turned around, raised his remaining three arms, and began hacking wildly at the Night Knight.

The Night Knight, like a rigorously trained soldier, wove a defensive net of swordsmanship in the face of the chaotic slashing of the axe-wielding corpse general, blocking all of the general's attacks.

"Holy crap! What kind of summon is this? How is it so powerful?!"

Looking at the Night Knights displaying their might ahead, and then recalling his own Swift Star Wolf, which had always served as his mount, Mo Fan instantly felt the difference in their abilities.

"My cultivation is insufficient, and the time I can keep the Night Knights out to fight is limited. Aren't you going to make a move?"

Asha Ruya ignored the startled Mo Fan and instead looked at Su Chi, who had been watching the show from the sidelines.

"I thought you could handle it all by yourself. I can't let you steal my thunder, can I?" Su Chi said with a smile, spreading his hands.

Looking at the smiling face in front of her, Asha Ruya suddenly felt an urge to punch someone.

You should know that her previous aloof and quiet demeanor was all an act. In reality, she is very cunning and will not hesitate to trick people.

"Hurry up and help."

The beautiful face hidden behind the black silk veil had changed slightly, and one of her small hands was clenched tightly.

Su Chi smiled; Asha's little actions naturally did not escape his notice.

Although it's also possible that he saw it on purpose.

Liu Ru looked at Su Chi with a questioning expression, asking if she needed to help.

"I'll handle this myself. You go and help them clear away the rotting corpses that are surrounding us."

Su Chi declined Liu Ru's suggestion, and then said to Mo Fan, "Fanzi, you go and help out too, I'll take care of things here."

Liu Ru and Mo Fan nodded, then rushed towards the direction of the short man and the others.

Noticing that the axe-wielding corpse general was still entangled with the Night Knight, Su Chi calmly began to activate the magical energy within the lightning-type star river.

As countless bolts of lightning magic converged towards his right hand, a violent lightning spear radiating a destructive aura soon appeared in Su Chi's hand.

"Tell your summoned beast to retreat immediately!"
