Chapter 45: The Unlucky Noble

  In a certain pool 50 li away from the entrance of the dense forest.

  A line of fourteen people walked back to back, vigilantly looking around, guarding against the magical beasts that might appear at any moment. One handsome knight riding a horse said to the others: "We've been here for a day now, how come we haven't seen a single magical beast?"

  Another person dressed as a priest in white robes responded, "Indeed, it's been an entire day. Logically speaking, we should have encountered at least one 4th-level magical beast within 500 meters, but now we haven't even seen a single 1st-level Wild Boar. What exactly happened here?!"

  A man carrying a large sword said: "Haha, you must be afraid of the trial team from our Anthony Das Academy."

  A red-robed female mage kicked the man carrying a large sword and said, "Meide, can't you use your brain for once? The monsters here are mostly around level 6, what threat can we pose to them when our average strength is below level 5?"

  "Ah, Judy, sorry about that," Mait said, rubbing his head in embarrassment.

  "Anlun-sama, I think we should leave this area first. The feeling here is really too eerie."

  Anlone Bejalon, the only son of Duke Bejalon of the Kingdom of Valour, grew up with the reputation of a genius from an early age.

  An Lun looked at the nearby forest, which seemed a bit quiet, and said: "It's okay, let's move forward a bit. I have a feeling that we will encounter something extraordinary. Besides, the servants I brought are all level 4 elites, even if we can't beat them, we can still run."

  Judy helplessly looked at the greenhouse-grown flower and silently agreed with Anlun's opinion. Maid saw Judy agree, and she wouldn't have any opposing opinions either.

  Anlun looked at the pastor and said: "Pastor Fidel, what do you think?"

  Fidel's face was covered by a white hood, and his face couldn't be seen, but from his tone, it could be told that he was quite helpless at the moment: "Lord Iyaran's opinion."

  An Lushan pulled his horse and pointed eastward, saying: "Advance!" Then he galloped forward.

  "Follow me!" Fidel said in a low voice.

  A lone figure moved swiftly, An Lun thoroughly enjoying the feeling of the wind blowing against his face. He was truly fed up with life in the academy and shouted out in excitement, completely disregarding the fact that he was in the Forbidden Forest.

  Maitre suddenly grabbed Anlun, who was moving at high speed. Anlun glared at him fiercely, wondering why this person from his own group would obstruct him from enjoying the baptism of the wind. Was it that damned etiquette again?

  Mayer noticed Anrun's anger and said in a low voice, "Pastor Fidel said he felt that something was wrong here, and the air seemed to have something more."

  An Lun also knew that life only happens once, so he followed Mai De and came to Fei De's side, wanting to know what was going on here.

  Fidel saw Anlun coming, he beckoned to Anlun to quietly approach him, Anlun lowered his head and walked over slowly, Fidel made way for Anlun to see clearly.

  Arnold saw a terrible scene through the grass, they were at the top of a hillside, and at the bottom of the hillside there was a large black hole, about 5 meters in diameter. From the air coming out of the black hole, he fully felt the taste of death spirits. He looked at Fidel in horror, wanting to know what to do now!

  "Fidel said in a low voice: 'Our team is not strong enough, so now we must retreat and then inform others to come together to deal with these things.'"

  An Lun nodded and then beckoned his own men to be ready to flee at any moment.

  The entrance of the spirit world has stabilized, and now the dead begin to return to reality.

  "Skull!" someone shouted loudly and alerted those around him.

  "This is just a secondary skull, I think we must hurry up!" An Lun dispersed this newly emerged skull with one sword.

  "Lord Anlun! Here too!" another one shouted loudly everywhere.

  "Lord Anron! We're surrounded!" Fidel couldn't help but smile wryly at the skulls surrounding them.

  Although these skeletons were only second-rate, there were too many of them. With only thirteen people on their side, how could they possibly defeat this sea of skeletons that seemed to stretch on forever?

  An Luren gazed out at the sea of skulls and pointed westward, saying: "Carve a bloody path, Mai De, you take the vanguard!"

  Maid fiercely stared at Anlun, he knew this was Anlun's revenge on him, but there was no way out, who made himself the most suitable warrior for the charge in this group. He wielded his great sword and swung it down, splitting open the skull in front of him, shouting: "Go!"

  The crowd walked along this dry bone road, and suddenly, arrows made of bones fell down like rain.

  "Rain of swords, raise shields!" Anlun's attendants held up their shields over their heads and drew closer to Anlun. Anlun was trembling with fear; he had never been in such a perilous situation before.

  Fidel looked at Anlun like this, he knew that Anlun was useless at this time. He said in a low voice: "Advance with shields up, and stretch your swords outside, pay attention to protect Anlun!"

  The attendants held their swords outside and waved them up and down, also praying that the shield could last a little longer.

  "Has it become a turtle shell?" A white-haired youth stood on a tree, looking at him coldly and said with a smile: "If it can withstand arrows, then can it withstand magic?"

  "Clang!" A shield shattered, and the attendant holding it was instantly turned into a hedgehog.

  An Luen stared at the attendant who had died a terrible death in horror and let out a shrill cry, before fainting.

  Fidel gazed at the hothouse flower with disgust, he was really fed up with this arrogant and incompetent genius! He muttered in a low voice: "I'll add armor-piercing skills to you, scatter and run separately, staying together will eventually be drowned by this skull sea."

  Made took out his giant sword and swung it at the hail of arrows in the sky, saying: "Put Anlun on me, I'll carry him and run."

  Fidel pulled Arn along and said to Maid: "Protect Arn well!"

  "Alright! Judy and I are going!" said Maid.

  Judy looked at An Lun and said to Mai De: "Let's go!"

  Maiden ran with her left hand behind her back holding onto the Anlun on her back, and her right hand wielding a giant sword to clear the skulls in front of her.

  "Abandon the chariot to save the general? What a pity, this chariot isn't worth much anyway." The white-haired youth smoothed out his hair that had been blown astray by the wind and smiled as he said: "Fei Zhi, I'll leave what's behind to you. What I want is the knight behind that giant sword-wielding knight."

  After finishing speaking, he disappeared into the trees.

  Mai De looked at the skull sea, feeling his physical strength had reached its limit. He had only run 300 meters, yet he was already desperate, gazing hopelessly at everything around him and cursing that damned noble in his heart.

  He prayed, this damn skull would disappear quickly. Perhaps the gods knew his wish, and when he broke through 400 meters, the skulls really disappeared. He breathed heavily, greedily enjoying the thrill of surviving a disaster.

  Fidel was also panting heavily, thanking the blessing of the God of Light. Judy looked at Anlun who had fainted and thought about how to leave a good impression on this young master, so that if she married him in the future, she would be set for life.

  The skull is gone, but there are still ghouls eating corpses.

  "Gurgle, gurgle." Meide looked despairingly in the direction of the sound, a short, less than 1.6 meters tall creature was staring at them.

  Highly rotten face, sturdy arms, long claws. This is the legendary fourth-level undead creature, Corpse Eater Ghoul.

  Maito felt that the good fortune in misfortune was that there seemed to be only one corpse-eating ghost here, and he threw down Anlun saying: "Let's go, you know what to do when we get out."

  Judy glared at Maid with a hateful gaze and said: "How could you abandon Anlun!"

  "Judy, I'm telling you the truth, I love you. Come with me! If we let this undead creature entangle us, those skulls might catch up to us!"

  Judi's face turned red as she shouted: "Didn't you say you loved me? Then give Anlun to me, and go entangle the Corpse Eater!"

  Mait's eyes widened in shock, he didn't dare believe that this woman had reached such a state.

  "Stop arguing, come with me." An old voice appeared beside them.

  They looked desperately at the source of the sound.

  First were countless bright red dots. Then a pale-skinned but elegantly dressed old man entered their field of vision.

  He was Fei Zhi. With a smile, he said: "Younger generations, welcome to my territory. I just wanted to invite you over as guests, why did you run away? In order to avoid people saying that I'm not hospitable in the future, I'd like to invite all of you to come and have some tea at my place."

  Maiter threw down his weapons in despair, realizing that no matter what he did, it was impossible to defeat this undead wizard.

  The ghouls drooled as they lifted up the four people. Fizz spoke with satisfaction, "Clean up the evidence and return to base!"
