The Rise of the Cemetery

The most troubling thing about the expeditionary force at present is that they seem to have stepped into a war zone by accident.

The original target of the conquest, a level 17 zombie lord, is currently engaged in a fierce battle with unknown forces. The two sides are fighting fiercely, involving the surrounding area, making it impossible for the expeditionary force to intervene there.

Regarding this question, Li Xun just smiled lightly, and waved his hands to release some of the cemetery's subordinates from the soul space. One of the familiar short figures made the Skeleton King feel relieved.

"Auruo is back?" Skeleton King nodded at him, his tone relaxed a lot: "With him on the way, the information over there will not be as ignorant as before!"

The shadow dwarf assassin Oro is still the same, his short and thin body is tightly wrapped in dense rune bandages, but this time he can feel that his breath is a little weak, as if he is injured.

"The itinerary went well, but I encountered some troubles on the way back!" Oro saw the Skeleton King's inquiring gaze, and answered a few words briefly, as if he didn't want to say more.

Li Xun also shook his head slightly, signaling to the Skeleton King not to ask any more questions, then got up and walked to the prepared soul-gathering circle, and started another spell-casting guide.

The formation of the sea of ​​bones, the foundation of the cemetery city, does not only rely on blood sacrifices and soul-gathering circles, but more importantly, Li Xun uses his own blood to guide his spiritual power, so that everything in front of him and the cemetery family building that exists in his soul The list of bone-sea buildings resonates. In other words, without Li Xun, even if someone copied the Soul Gathering Circle, they wouldn't be able to fiddle with the sea of ​​bones like a gourd.

The same process happened again, Li Xun observed the whole process of the sea of ​​bones over and over again while being guided by his spiritual power. Every time I have some fresh insights, and I will always find some places that I don’t understand, but always in the most critical places, there will be a thick dead air permeating, covering my own exploration and perception, so that the sea of ​​bones will eventually form. That moment is still shrouded in a fog of unknowability.

The latter is the hard work according to one's temper. Almost every 8 hours, a batch of buildings will be completed, and then new buildings will be put into construction. The soul crystals brought by Li Xun's storage ring are being consumed like water, and the outline of the cemetery city is changing every moment.

This is already the second cemetery city in the undead world, and its name is Stratholme.

Another tense 12 days passed, and Stratholme changed from an open space to a eerie city of bones, and became the real base camp of the expeditionary force. However, due to continuous bloodletting and spiritual guidance, Li Xun couldn't eat well and sleep well. Li Xun lost more than 20 catties. old man.

After waving goodbye to several subordinates, with the help of the portals of Stratholme and Sleeping Land, Li Xun went around several places and finally returned to the Undercity. For the safety of the entire cemetery city, each large region must set up a central city, and all the portals of the region will be concentrated here. For example, the central city of the undead world is the Land of Sleep, and the Undercity will only set up the plane portal here, and the traffic between the Undercity and Stratholme needs to be transferred through the Land of Sleep.

Li Xun dragged his weak body to Feathermoon Fortress first, handed the Astral Traveler Belt to Zena, and comforted her, and then returned to the Undercity to start processing the message from the Gorefiend.

"What... a high-level mage from the mage guild?" Li Xun was really surprised by the message sent by the blood demon.

What is the Mage Guild? That is currently the largest force in Klein Continent, and it even overwhelms many church forces that cannot cooperate sincerely. There are not many things that can interest such a behemoth, but the undiscovered ruins of the Arcane Empire are definitely one. In this way, the information sensed by the arcane core JY03761 is really valuable, but now that there is one more competitor from the Mage Guild, it is unclear how much benefit I can get from it.

But the only good thing right now is that they didn't leak anything, and the Mage Guild probably didn't expect that there would be someone watching behind them and ready to sabotage their plans at any time. In this way, relying on the Gorefiend alone is weak, and he needs to be given proper support.

That's fine, I brought back a large number of vampires from the undead world this time. I originally wanted to send them to the chaotic place of the abyss, but now, I have to stick to the blood demons first!

After contacting the Gorefiend and informing him that he was going to receive a large amount of follow-up support, Li Xun made some adjustments in the Undercity. He also transferred a group of vampires from the Feathermoon Fortress. It's full enough to make up 120 vampires.

Half a day later, the Gorefiend sent a message saying that he was ready, so Li Xun opened the portal to the Gorefiend in the Undercity with the help of the Mage Tower.

The 120 vampires who had prepared early filed in and got into the portal. After a quarter of an hour, the transmission was completed. In order to complete this teleportation, the dead energy in the sea of ​​bones in the dark city is almost exhausted. It seems that there is no way to produce soul crystals here within a week, and it is estimated that the generation of troops will also be greatly affected.

...

In a deep and silent underground cave, the deep darkness was dispelled by the glow emitted by the sudden appearance of the portal, and piled up in a farther place, facing the outsider who broke the tranquility of the underground. Distorted light and shadow cast on the rugged cave wall, like an invisible devil emerging from the ground, making everything look so hideous and terrifying.

120 vampires filed out, stepped out of the portal and stood quietly behind the gorefiend, and soon crowded a corner of the cave to the brim. When the portal was closed, the faint magical radiance gradually dissipated, and the cave was once again filled with darkness, but the deepest part of the darkness emitted countless flashing red lights.

The Gorefiend turned around without saying a word and got into a corridor, followed closely by countless red lights. From a distance, it looked like a strangely long glowing centipede walking.

With these 120 vampires, the Kuroshio mercenary group in front of his eyes has become a window that can be broken through, and can no longer be called an obstacle. Those human mages have lost the message for more than 20 days, and they don't know where they have advanced. The message from the master seems to attach great importance to their goal, and it seems that they must confront them.

In an instant, the cave just now returned to dead silence.

...

When the portal was closed, Li Xun staggered, and Siris, who was waiting on the side, hurriedly supported her.

When her arms touched, Siris felt her heart tighten. Gently pushing aside the sleeves on Li Xun's arm, what he saw was a pair of withered and thin arms. Celis looked up at Li Xun's shriveled face, and found that apart from his physical weakness, even his spirit was equally dull and silent, without the vitality of the past.

Crystal tears swirled in the eyes, and Xi Lisi helped Li Xun, who was breathing weakly, to lie down on the only big bed in the room. Almost the moment he touched the pillow, he fell into the deepest sleep. Gently took off his boots, covered him with the quilt, sat on the side of the bed and looked at the young mage who was still frowning in his sleep, tears finally rolled down his cheeks.

I really hate myself! I hate that I can only watch, but I can't help, I can't reach out, this feeling is very powerless and heartwarming. My lover has worked so hard and so persistently, can I just bear it passively? No, I am Siris, and I am also a genius girl who was once praised by everyone. When did I become so depressed and rely on external help so much?

Encouraging herself in her heart, Siris leaned down and kissed the young mage's frowning forehead deeply, then returned to the desk just now, calmly opened the magic book that had just been closed.

This is a small town in the northwest of the Altin States. Siris has been staying in the hotel here for half a month, and finally waited for Li Xun who left across the sky. But seeing how weak he is now, he probably needs to recuperate here for a few days before he can go on the road again.

Three days later, two young men and women were standing on the bow of an ordinary medium-sized merchant ship on the Moraine River that ran through the states of Altin, looking at the lush green land on the bank, feeling the cool river wind blowing, I feel a lot better.

In order not to disturb outsiders, Li Xun and Siris took off their black mage robes and put on ordinary noble clothes. Li Xun's handsome face is decent, and the gorgeous aristocratic robes on his body are also exquisitely crafted, but his thin figure and slight cough from time to time leave a sick impression. Compared with him, The young, beautiful and slender Siris looked radiant and glamorous.

The silver hair and blue pupils inherited from the family lineage make Siris's skin whiter and more translucent, and the waist of the snow-white woven silk dress is graceful and graceful, full and easy to hold, big watery eyes, and bright red lips embellish the entire facial features. flawless. What is even more touching is the youthful and beautiful girlish aura, which makes her whole brows and eyes reveal a joyful vitality. This is a beautiful girl who is enjoying her good time.

Li Xun could feel the jealous eyes of the men around him and Siris all the time. A young aristocratic couple, the man is weak and the woman is beautiful and eye-catching. I really hope that I can become that happy bastard! This is probably the thought that all men who see them will have in mind!

Li Xun has not experienced this kind of small emotions and fun for a long time. Now that he picks up the taste again, it is surprisingly sweet and pleasant. Xin held Xi Lisi's soft but elastic waist, feeling the increasingly fiery gaze behind him, Li Xun always wanted to laugh out loud, but he was powerless. Xi Lisi leaned over a little more, her blue eyes looked at him quietly with a strange expression, and there was a smile at the corner of her mouth, with a clear look of knowing what he wanted to do, and the more cooperative little bird still people get up.

Even though he has been in a coma for 2 days in the hotel, the blood and energy that Li Xun lost cannot be replenished in a short period of time. This makes Li Xun, who is weak in everything, very distressed, and often wonders whether the next upgrade will also improve Some strength, otherwise a body that is not strong enough will not be able to accomplish one's grand plans.

"After all, strength is directly linked to one's physique. To be a good mage, one needs good physical strength!" Li Xun defended himself guiltyly, not daring to reveal that he had already served as a harem for the future stallion. The nasty psychology of preparing.

Now is the period of great development of the Cemetery Clan, and Soul Crystal always seems to be unable to make ends meet, otherwise, if I save up for a month or two to build the treasure store, will I still worry about my lack of physical strength?

But when I think that building a treasure store requires thousands of soul crystals, and so on, those treasures must be of great value. After this calculation, I want to fill my body with treasures and completely crush the enemy. ground glass. Cough, this feeling of being able to see but not touch is really annoying to his grandma!

Thinking of this, Li Xun's mood was agitated, and he couldn't help coughing lightly. Xi Lisi gave him another look, rubbed his back gently with her gentle little hands, and reminded softly: "Don't think so much, you'd better look at this pleasant scenery and change your mood. Don't always It is to immerse yourself in those dark sides, and be careful of twisting your mind in the future!"

Li Xun was moved for a moment, nodded again and again, stretched out his hand to grab Xi Lisi's delicate green fingers, and while listening to her tell about his previous study tour experience in detail, he looked around, greedily examining the life in this world.

Siris is right. As a mage, it is easy to mentally isolate yourself from the people and things around you. When you see an ordinary person, you have no interest in it. When you see a novelty item, your first reaction is what is the magic value? Where will you enjoy the beautiful mountains and waters!

Only by letting go of everything, abandoning narrow vision, and seeing, hearing, and touching with your own natural eyes, ears, and fingers, can you experience the reality of this world. Maybe seeing through is a kind of life attitude, but it is another kind of life attitude to be big and comprehensive. There is no difference between the two attitudes. It is impossible for a mage to stand tall and see it thoroughly enough to think that he is qualified to turn around and laugh at the "self-deception" attitude of mortals.

The world has endowed you with all this, maybe it just wants you to lead more people to see and hear! Instead of taking this as a privilege, to ridicule and bully the former kind.

Life is like a drama, if you detach yourself, what you see is a farce, if you indulge in it, what you experience is a kind of struggle! People are in the drama, and the drama is in the heart. Sometimes it is difficult to tell whether you are detached or addicted!

For a while now, I have been a bit self-important. When I look at anyone around me, I feel that the other person is half asleep and half awake. Only I can see the whole situation and have a clear mind. This mentality is also very dangerous! Harnessing a powerful force requires a strong heart, otherwise it is not harnessing, but being bound.

For a moment, Li Xun discarded the so-called soul vision and the so-called panorama, let go of his mind, faced the river wind, closed his eyes comfortably, and allowed himself to be soaked by all kinds of surroundings.
