"Who sent you?" Looking at the terrified Kailar, Lu Ming did not punish him, but asked directly.

As soon as he finished speaking, a look of tension flashed across Kelal's face, and he quickly said, "No one. I only came because of Viscount Hatu's report."

Judging from his expression, even a fool could see something was wrong. There was no way Lu Ming would believe him!

However, Lu Ming didn't want to alert the enemy at this moment, so he pretended to pat Kelal on the shoulder and said with a stern face, "Don't let this kind of thing happen again in the future!"

"Yes, Your Excellency!" Kelal, who mistakenly thought that Lu Ming had lowered his guard against him, left in a hurry as if he had been granted a pardon.

Watching the retreating figure of the rather clumsy actor, Lu Ming smiled slightly, then left with Yusaha and Lily. Their destination was the rabbit hunting area outside Paris City, where they planned to vent their frustrations with the unruly little monster rabbits.

However, on their way out of the city, Yusaha discovered that several poorly trained spies were following them. Knowing that if he told Lu Ming or Lili, they would look back and let the spies escape, Yusaha didn't tell them they were being followed. Instead, he chatted and laughed with Lu Ming and Lili while cautiously observing the spies.

Meanwhile, in Viscount Hatu's mansion, Kailar was being reprimanded by Viscount Hatu.

"What are you good for?! You don't even know if he reported it to the police, and you still have the nerve to go over there and try to get him locked up in the dungeon by framing him?! You're a piece of trash, you're more trouble than you're worth!!" Viscount Hatu slapped Kailar across the face with his gloved hand and roared.

"I'm so sorry, Your Excellency!" Having been slapped, Kelal didn't even have the courage to cover his face; he could only apologize and beg Viscount Hatu for forgiveness.

Moreover, to make amends for his mistake, he quickly said to Viscount Hatu, "Your Excellency, please rest assured, I have already dispatched the undead monster that Lord Amani sent last night. I believe it will definitely be able to kill that bastard Lu Ming!"

Upon hearing this, Viscount Hatu snorted angrily and said viciously, "If it weren't for silencing them yesterday, how could the last undead monster with any remaining sanity in my hands have failed?! Moreover, that bastard Lu Ming even destroyed its last bit of sanity!! Thinking about it now, I still feel an unquenchable hatred!! I swear I won't rest until I kill that bastard!!"

"Please rest assured, the undead monsters sent by Lord Amani this time are far more powerful than those before! Moreover, they retain far more sanity than before!"

-----------------------------------

Lu Ming lay on the grass, looking at the blue sky and white clouds. Everything seemed so peaceful, if only the screams of the demon rabbits when they were killed hadn't happened... What was supposed to be a chance for Lu Ming to vent his frustrations turned into Yusaha and Lily hunting away with great enthusiasm. However, Lu Ming didn't care about any of that.

On the grass, Lu Ming kept thinking about Viscount Hatu. He felt he could only proceed cautiously, taking it one step at a time. After all, he wasn't a nobleman or a schemer; he was just a shut-in who graduated from a teachers' college.

Whether by chance or not, Lu Ming encountered You'er Sika and the old mage McCot once again.

"Good morning, Lu Ming." Yu'er Sika, dressed in a white robe, sat not far from Lu Ming and greeted him.

"Good morning, Yu'er Sika." Lu Ming sat up and greeted Yu'er Sika in return.

However, at that moment, McCot, who was behind them, let out a cold snort and said unhappily, "Hmph! Yu'er Sika, don't pay any attention to this disrespectful bastard!"

It was obvious that he was being rather rude to Lu Ming because he had been tickled on the soles of his feet yesterday.

However, after yesterday's events, Lu Ming had a better understanding of this disrespectful and fraudulent old mage, so naturally he wouldn't pay him any attention. As for You'er Xika...

Yesterday, when the old mage was being tickled, he almost blamed her for the trick, which made Yu'er Sica very upset. Therefore, she wasn't going to listen to McCott much today. Moreover, she was so angry that she didn't even bring her little basket with her today, as if she wanted McCott to carry the magic rabbit back himself.

He chatted with Lu Ming on his own.

"By the way, didn't you promise yesterday that you wouldn't cheat anymore? Why are you hunting again?" Weiwei chatted with You'er Xika for a while, and then Lu Ming asked her.

Yu'er Sika chuckled and stuck out her tongue, then said, "A shop in the city is analyzing the recipes for those semi-alchemical potion-like drinks given to them by the apple tree spirits, and they're buying them up at high prices for research. I wanted to take this opportunity to make some money, so I came here."

"That's pretty good! At least they're not scamming us. But can they really figure out the recipe for apple soda?"

"I don't know. But I think they should be able to."

"Right?"

"Oh! Never mind that!" You'er Sika waved her little hand, then asked Lu Ming, "You said the drink the apple tree spirit gave us is called 'apple soda'? Is that really its name?"

"Yeah! What's wrong?" Lu Ming, not understanding what was going on, scratched his head and asked, "Is something wrong?"

"It's nothing. I just think it sounds awful! It doesn't sound like the music in the tavern at all..." Yu'er Sika shook her head. However, she stopped halfway through her sentence, covered her mouth tightly with her hand, and looked at Lu Ming with great fear.

"Going to a tavern underage? Were you encouraged, or did you go on your own?" Lu Ming looked at You'er Sika, who looked panicked, and asked with a sly smile.

"I'm an adult!" Yu'er Sika, afraid of having to pay the fine again, puffed out her still flat chest and lied.

"How old are you?"

"12."

"What is the legal age of adulthood?"

Yu'er Sika hung her head dejectedly and said sullenly, "17..."

"That's settled then." Lu Ming smiled and held up two fingers, jokingly saying, "Twenty silver."

"Two...two...twenty..." Upon hearing Lu Ming's joke, You'er Sika burst into tears instantly.

This startled Lu Ming, who quickly said, "Just kidding! Don't cry!"

"Really?"

"real!"

Seeing Lu Ming's apologetic expression, You'er burst into tears, hitting him with her little hands while angrily muttering, "I told you not to joke! I told you not to joke! I told you not to joke!"

Knowing he was in the wrong, Lu Ming had no choice but to accept it. However, at that moment, he accidentally glanced at the distance behind him and saw a person wearing black skull armor, holding a black straight sword with a wide blade, walking towards him menacingly.

Upon seeing the person, Lu Ming immediately grabbed You'er Xika and retreated towards Yusaha and the others, shouting to them, "Yusaha! Lily! There's an undead!!"

Hearing Lu Ming's shout, Yusaha and Lily abandoned their magical rabbits without hesitation and rushed over. McCot, not far away, also ran over. He saw that the guy Lu Ming called the Undead was almost identical to his old friends who had become wandering spirits—filled with murderous intent towards everything.

"Damn it! How did a Soul Eater from Little Londo end up here?" Looking at the undead in full skeleton armor, Lu Ming couldn't help but complain, "There aren't any golems for you to kill here!"

"Who is this guy? Why does he have such a dark aura?" McCott, who had rushed over, looked at the Soul Eater standing a hundred meters away from Lu Ming and the others, and asked Lu Ming, who knew more about the undead, with a puzzled expression.

"It's called a Soul Eater, a remnant of the ancient Lesser Londo, who became dark because of their worship of the Abyss. Led by the World Serpent, it wants to drag the entire world into darkness!" Lin Xing slowly drew out the Sage's Candlestick, cautiously watching the Soul Eater as he explained to the others who didn't know what it was: "When the fight starts, remember to watch out for the red glove on its left hand; that thing can suck away our souls and humanity!"

Hearing that Lu Ming knew so much about him, the Soul-Sucking Demon suddenly pointed his sword at Lu Ming and said in a rather unpleasant voice, "You know us very well! But sometimes knowing us isn't enough! Because your strength is insufficient to defeat me!"

"Hasn't he turned into a zombie yet?" Yusaha nudged Lu Ming after glancing at the Soul Eater whose armor resembled a skeleton, and asked, "Between this guy and Knight Hyde, who's stronger?"

"Of course it's this guy. No matter how erratic the Knight Hyde is, he wouldn't have the ability to think like this Soul Eater who still retains reason and humanity!" To be honest, if this Soul Eater were a zombie-like wandering spirit, it wouldn't be a problem. But the fact that he can talk indicates that he's not a wandering spirit. This makes Lu Ming feel extremely troubled.

But at this point, there was no time to worry about anything else. There was no other way but to bite the bullet and go for it.

"Seed Machine Gun!" As the saying goes, speed is the only way to win in martial arts. Before the Soul-Sucking Ghost could launch its attack, Lu Ming used the level 6 Seed Machine Gun on the Soul-Sucking Ghost!

A string of seeds, like bullets fired from a heavy machine gun, whistled through the air and shot towards the Soul-Sucking Ghost.

"Hehe!" But just as the seed machine gun was about to hit the Soul Eater, the Soul Eater slowly stretched out its left hand, placed it in front of its face, and slowly opened its fingers. Then, a transparent red ripple shield suddenly appeared, blocking all the seeds from the seed machine gun without missing a single one!

Although Lu Ming's level 6 seed machine gun nearly shattered the shield, and all the seeds got stuck inside, when the Soul-Sucking Ghost closed its fingers and removed the broken ripple shield, the seeds all fell to the ground. When it opened its fingers again, a brand new ripple shield appeared before it.

"You're very powerful, but not enough!" The Soul-Sucking Ghost first mocked Lu Ming, then dragged his straight sword and charged towards Lu Ming and the others.

"Cover your ears!" Lu Ming and Yusaha shouted in unison as they watched the Soul-Sucking Ghost rush towards them like a whirlwind.

"Huh?" Apart from Lily, who already covered her ears and knew what Lu Ming and Yusaha were about to do, Yu'er Sika and McCot were also taken aback. However, due to some bad premonition, they subconsciously covered their ears just like Lily.

Seeing that everyone else had already covered their ears, Lu Ming and Yusaha immediately shouted together, "Metallic Sound!!" At the same time, a series of ear-piercing metallic noises burst from their throats, forcibly stopping the Soul-Sucking Ghost's charge.

Even with their ears covered, Lily and the others were still struggling. But knowing that the metallic sound was a spell used to reduce magic resistance, Lily gritted her teeth and forced herself to use the Seed Gun on the Soul Drainer despite the torment of the metallic sound.

Because he was holding a straight sword, the Soul Eater couldn't cover his ears with his hands. As soon as he saw Lily's Seed Machine Gun, he immediately used his Ripple Shield to block the seeds of the Seed Machine Gun once again.

However, due to the reduction in magic defense caused by the metallic sound, Lily's level 3 seed machine gun produced the effect of Lu Ming's level 6 seed machine gun.

Glancing at his shield, the Soul Eater knew that his magical defense would become increasingly weak if things continued this way. So he forcibly ignored the metallic sound, disarmed his shield, clenched his left fist, and punched Yusaha with all his might.

"Shadow Fist!"

All that could be seen was a fist made of shadows extending from the Soul Eater's fist, striking Yusaha at an unimaginable speed.

This forced Yusahar to stop casting his metallic spell and focus all his energy on dodging the Soul Eater's attack.

Seeing this, Lu Ming immediately stopped the metallic sound and shouted to Yusaha, "Use the shield!"

Unfortunately, he was a step too late.

Before Yusaha could even retrieve the Ancient Knight's Great Shield from his phone, he was struck in the abdomen by the Soul Eater's Shadow Fist and collapsed to the ground, curled up like a shrimp, spitting out a mouthful of blood!

"Lily, give this to Yusaha!" Seeing that Yusaha was severely injured by the Soul Eater's attack, Lu Ming had no choice but to take out two Element Bottles and hand them to Lily to feed Yusaha. He himself had to forcibly use the Sage's Candlestick to block a slash from the Soul Eater's charge!

Although Lu Ming, who was already level 5, had a strength value of 8 points higher than ordinary people, he was still a bit lacking when fighting against the Soul Absorber, a pure strength-type warrior.

In just one exchange, Lu Ming's Sage Candlestick was almost knocked away by the Soul-Sucking Ghost!

Moreover, the tiger's mouth on his hand was already bleeding profusely from the force of the Soul-Sucking Ghost!

"I told you, you're not enough! Now hand over your soul!" After glancing at Lu Ming, who was clearly a mage but overestimated himself and blocked his attack with a dagger, the Soul-Sucking Ghost grinned and stretched out his left hand, which was slowly glowing with a purple-pink light, to grab Lu Ming.

"Fine snow!"

Just then, Lu Ming suddenly exhaled a large amount of cold air, freezing the Soul-Sucking Ghost's left hand, and then retreated rapidly.

"Damn bastard!!" Enraged at failing to steal the soul, the Soul-Sucking Ghost immediately raised his straight sword and stabbed at Lu Ming.

However, a fireball interrupted the Soul-Sucking Ghost's attack.

"Too slow!" Lu Ming, who had retreated to the back, took a slight breath and then shouted at the old mage, "Switch faster in the future! Otherwise, we'll all die, and you can just wait to become a wandering ghost!"

“My magic isn’t like your weird stuff, you can’t just use it without chanting!” McCott retorted to Lu Ming, then turned to You’er Sica and said, “Hurry up and heal Lu Ming. This thing called the Soul-Sucker isn’t easy for me to deal with alone!”

"Understood!" With that, You'er Sika immediately ran over to Lu Ming and used her somewhat clumsy white magic to heal him.

At that moment, Lily poured two Element Bottles into Yusahar's mouth, and the flames inside quickly restored her to a state of near recovery.

Having regained her fighting strength, Yusaha got up from the ground. After taking out the Ancient Knight's Greatshield and Hyde Straight Sword from her phone, she walked in front of Lu Ming, holding the shield and sword like an enraged female knight.

"Undead...did you drink from the Elemental Bottle? However, your remaining soul and humanity will belong to me!" Seeing Yusahar, whom he had defeated, standing in front of him again, the Dementor was slightly stunned, but quickly reacted, roared, rushed over, and swung his straight sword heavily at Yusahar!

"Damn Soul Eater! I'll tear you to shreds!" After forcefully blocking the Soul Eater's slash with his shield, Yusahar roared and thrust his Hyde Straight Sword into the Soul Eater's arm holding the sword!

Because of the lightning on Hyde's straight sword, the Dementor lost his grip on the sword, causing it to fall to the ground.

The Soul Eater wanted to retrieve its straight sword, but Yusaha's repeated thrusts gave it no chance.

Helpless, the Soul Eater had no choice but to leap backward to get away from the enraged Yusaha, lest she cut him to death!

The moment he landed, the Soul Eater suddenly unleashed an energy wave, similar in shape to a black chain, at Yusaha, who was rushing towards him!

"Evil Wave!!"

With a loud bang, the black wave slammed into Yusaha's shield, forcefully knocking her away and sending her crashing heavily near Lu Ming.

This time, although Yusahar wasn't knocked down by the Soul Eater's Shadow Fist as easily as before, he was close enough. Therefore, Yorshka had to forcibly change her focus of healing to Yusahar.

At this moment, Lu Ming had already taken out his phone.
