Chapter 119, Asha'ruya

He suddenly urged his beasts on, unleashing a powerful earth wave that swept across the land, carving out a path of ripples that sent the villagers tumbling forward. Seeing this, Zhang Xiaohou also quickly cast an earth wave, the two waves overlapping to create a moving earth wave that propelled the entire group towards the foot of the mountain.

A few minutes later, the group finally reached the foot of the mountain.

This is the side of a steep, isolated peak, with a sheer, vertical cliff face that blocks the cold winds and rainstorms blowing from the northwest.

But... it's easy to avoid the wind, but difficult to avoid the rain.

The torrential rain continued to rage, and the people huddled at the foot of the mountain, soaked to the bone. Being drenched like this would cause an ordinary person to suffer from hypothermia within two hours, endangering their life.

Chen Hao remained calm, and with a wave of his hand, the Light System Star Chart rapidly unfolded in his palm, with seven star orbits forming like flowing water and clouds, as if drawn by a god.

"Starlight Penetration".

A beam of crimson-gold light shot from his fingertips and struck the rock wall precisely.

Chi Chi Chi -!
The hard rock melted rapidly under the energy of the star map, like ice and snow scorched by the blazing sun, sinking and collapsing inch by inch, solidifying into a deep pit as thick as a bowl.

Chen Hao continued his technique until the pipe extended ten meters deep into the mountain, resembling a snake winding through the mountain.

He then took out a fist-sized high-explosive bomb and used his fighting spirit to push it to the deepest point to detonate it.

boom! ! !
A deafening muffled sound came from deep within the mountain, as if a sleeping giant beast was roaring inside, and the entire solitary peak trembled in response!
Earth and rocks flew everywhere, debris scattered, and a scorching heat wave erupted from the cave entrance. Thick rock dust mixed with the heat of the explosion spread out, obscuring visibility and blocking the cold rain.

Chen Hao prayed that the mountain would not collapse.

As the dust settled slightly, a dark cave suddenly appeared before everyone's eyes. The cave entrance was wide enough to accommodate several people walking side by side. After clearing away the broken rocks, it could be used as shelter from the rain.

The oxen and horses took the initiative to do the physical work, and Mo Fan also summoned the old wolf to help. Chen Hao followed suit and made several more caves.

In just ten minutes, a shelter capable of housing hundreds of people was created—that's the power of magic!
With such heavy rain, it's impossible to travel normally, so we can only rest for the night. The conditions are a bit poor, but it's enough to keep warm.

Chen Hao naturally couldn't stand hundreds of people crammed into that dilapidated cave, so he simply decided not to sleep and went out to kill some undead to see if he could get more spirit essence.

The cave was left to Mo Fan to guard.

……

The rain did not subside; instead, it became even more violent, as if the sky had collapsed, with thunder rumbling continuously.

Chen Hao walked outside the cave, wearing light armor that covered his entire body. A faint breeze wafted around him, which could peel away the rainwater from his body.

His gaze swept calmly over the wandering, decaying corpses.

Start harvesting!
Swish!
His figure vanished instantly, like a streak of light weaving through the corpses. Wherever he passed, all the undead were split in two. Even warrior-level beings could not withstand a single blow.

A large number of remnants and essences gathered into a stream and fell into the soul ring. The massive harvest almost made Chen Hao forget the time, and he unknowingly killed his way far away.

When he came to his senses, there was a small mountain of bones in front of him. It has to be said that the drop rate of the undead's essence is really quite high. In just a short while, he got a general-level essence, and several servant-level essences.

Including the ones seized from Fang Gu, there's hope that all 343 star points can be upgraded. Just then, a deafening roar erupted from afar, and the previously subdued undead instantly became restless.

“Woo-woo-woo!!!”

That was an extremely special horn of the dead. It wasn't a mindless sound, but rather a command from some living undead, summoning lower-ranking undead.

Chen Hao squinted, leaped onto a rock, and gazed ahead.

Chen Hao noticed that all the rotting corpses and skeletons within a kilometer radius seemed to instinctively gravitate towards one place. He was immediately intrigued; anything that could startle the spirits of the dead and call out to its companions must be a living being.

Could it be human?
He silently moved closer to that side.

……

at the same time.

“Ahhhh——!!!”

Asha'ruya slashed a rotting corpse with her sword, the blood and mud splattering all over her veil.

Ah Da and Ah Li, two loyal guards, stood guard on either side of her. Their armor and magical gear were tattered and worn, clearly nearing their limit.

"We're surrounded!" The dwarf was covered in blood, and the magical artifact in his hand exploded, sending sparks flying, but the undead in front of him were like a tide, impossible to kill.

His other partner, a strong man from Weiju Village, has already been dismembered by the rotting corpses. If this continues, they are likely to meet a grim fate.

In the distance, the Night Knights were locked in fierce combat with a giant corpse general. The two sides were evenly matched and fought a close battle. It was only because of the presence of this powerful summoned beast that they were able to hold out for so long.

But this was of no use, because the Great Corpse General had already summoned a large number of undead, and they were already surrounded. The most terrifying thing about the undead was never their individual combat strength, but their unstoppable ability to swarm troops!
"Ah Da!" Asha Ruya cried out in shock, her pupils dilating in horror. Her loyal guard had been shot in the head by a bone arrow right before her eyes.

"Your Highness, be careful!" A moment of distraction gave a ghostly corpse an opportunity, and its dark, malevolent claws were about to rip out Asha's intestines.

Ali charged forward without hesitation, his vicious claws tearing through the armor and leaving deep bloody gashes on the attacker's body. Then, he was crushed to death by Ali's ice lock.

"Ali, how are you?" Asha Ruya used her spatial telekinesis to push aside the horde of corpses in front of her and looked at the guard with concern.

"I swear to protect His Highness to the death!" Ali did not answer directly; he knew he was probably about to die.

Asha'ruya gritted her teeth, never expecting that just coming out would be so difficult. At this time, she was not yet the high-ranking saintess.

In the magical world, strength ultimately matters. This is evident from the strength of her two guards. At this point, she has not truly gained power, and her status has not brought her unimaginable assistance; at most, it has given her a slightly higher starting point.

(A word of caution: Asha's situation in Parthenon wasn't always privileged. From her conversation with Norman in chapter 1644 of the original novel, we can conclude that Asha's early days in Parthenon weren't easy. And like Mu Bai, she wasn't a fallen angel from the start, but rather made that choice later.)
Her slender fingers gripped the black cross necklace around her neck, a hint of hesitation in her expression...

Should I really use this here? This is my trump card to save my life in front of that person...

Just then, a dazzling blaze of light shone down on the earth, and the stormy night sky seemed to be ignited in an instant!
It was a blinding beam of light that streaked across the night like a divine spear, tearing through the thick rain and illuminating every sinister face in the army of the dead!

boom! ! !
A beam of blazing white light descended from the sky without warning, slamming into the center of the horde of corpses and instantly blasting away the undead within a radius of tens of meters, turning them directly into ashes!
