Grand Cemetery, Intelligence and Countermeasures Begin

"Ye Lantier" has three walls, and about a quarter of the outermost wall occupies most of the western area.

It is the cemetery for the entire "Ye Lantier".

As a frontline Fortress, the annual battles between the Kingdom of Riyestig and the Baharuth Empire resulted in numerous casualties.

Even now, despite numerous rumors surrounding the birth of the Undead, none have been confirmed. Furthermore, no one truly understands how the Undead came to be.

However, one point is generally agreed upon: there is a chance that Undead will be born at the place where the dead are dying.

Those who died violent deaths or were left unattended have a greater chance of being reborn as Undead.

Therefore, whether it is an empire or Kingdom.

Agreements were often made during wartime to solemnly mourn the dead, and this vast cemetery was established for that purpose.

In the dim night,

A dark figure moved slowly but quickly towards the cemetery.

The closer you get to the cemetery, the quieter the air becomes. Few people come here even during the day, let alone at night.

Far away.

Tang Zheng then saw a wall, about four meters high, which served as the boundary separating the cemetery from the outside world.

He raised his head slightly.

On the left side of Tang Zheng's nose, there was a monocle, a magical item he had purchased that granted him "Night Vision."

Therefore, even in the dim light of the night, Tang Zheng was still able to see his surroundings clearly.

The tall, sturdy wall in the distance is clearly not for protecting the cemetery, but rather to prevent the Undead born inside from entering the outside world.

As they drew closer.

Two watchtowers emitting a soft glow appeared in the darkness, with a heavy, tightly closed door between them.

Obviously.

The passageway into the cemetery was closed at this time, and guards patrolled the two watchtowers.

Not only were there guards, but also a small team of adventurers.

This arrangement, carried out by the Adventurer's Guild in cooperation with the Mayor, is rotated periodically to deal with the Undead born in the graveyard.

"Looks like we need to find another place to enter." Tang Zheng paused, then followed the wall away from the watchtower.

soon.

Tang Zheng stopped in front of a wall more than four meters high, glanced at the smooth surface of the wall, and kept his gaze unchanged.

A wall of this height wouldn't be a problem for an ordinary Undead, but for Tang Zheng, it was hardly an obstacle.

Bend your legs and stomp your feet hard on the ground.

Tang Zheng easily jumped to a height of about three meters, flipped his palm, and Mithril Dagger appeared in his hand. He then stabbed it into the wall and fixed it there.

Immediately afterwards.

With a flick of his wrist, he rose higher again, and when his foot was level with the dagger embedded in the wall, he flicked his toe, sending the dagger flying back into his hand.

In the blink of an eye.

Tang Zheng landed Lightness on the wall, then flipped over and entered the cemetery.

The first thing that catches the eye is a vast expanse of tombstones, and withered trees rustling in the wind.

Within the area of each tombstone, one can see a wooden house-shaped structure that is less than one meter high.

In the darkness of night, the shadows stretch long, creating an invisible sense of fear and oppression!

Faced with such a gloomy scene,

Tang Zheng expressionless.

Ghosts didn't exist in the world of the past, yet people were still afraid of them. This was not only psychological but also a fear of the unknown.

And this world!

Yes, there really are ghosts, or more accurately, phantoms!

How to deal with ghosts?

Tang Zheng's lips curled into a slight smile as he strode deeper into the cemetery, "Just kill him."

As we delve deeper...

The number of tombstones and withered trees gradually increased.

Tang Zheng observed his surroundings while recalling the details in his mind.

If he remembered correctly, Khajit Cain in an underground temple deep within the cemetery, having been lurking in the "Ye Lantier" cemetery for five years at the start of the story.

It's all for collecting Negative Energy.

Based on the current timeline, Khajit should have only been infiltrated for about a year.

Places like cemeteries offer a home-field advantage for Necromancy System Magic Caster like Khajit, especially in the darkness of night.

But daytime is clearly not a suitable time to move around.

The guards and the stationed adventurer teams patrol during the day, and will arrive immediately if anything happens in the cemetery.

And the environment at night.

Unless there is a large-scale attack by the Undead on the walls, no matter what happens inside the cemetery, neither the guards nor the adventurer teams will rush in; instead, they will wait until daytime to deal with it.

If Khajit's advantage lies in its venue, then it is because of its location.

So.

In Tang Zheng's view, his advantage lies in intelligence.

Of all of Khajit's methods, the one that Tang Zheng is most concerned about and needs to take seriously is the Bone Dragon.

Although this monster is only level 16, it possesses the ability to be immune to Sixth-Tier Magic, making it a disaster for Magic Caster in this world.

The attacks wielded by the Flame Archangel, which possess both fire and divine attributes, will also be neutralized by this characteristic.

In addition, the advantage of its massive size allows the Bone Dragon, despite its relatively low level, to possess power far exceeding that of its class.

This is a rather troublesome type of Undead.

actually.

Considering that it took Khajit five years to gather enough Negative Energy to summon two Bone Dragon, Khajit should currently be unable to summon Bone Dragon.

However, necessary countermeasures still need to be taken; nothing is absolute.

Of the ten Flame Archangel Tang Zheng prepared, two were specifically to deal with the Bone Dragon; the goal wasn't to eliminate it, but simply to hold it off.

The depths of the cemetery had become quiet.

Every now and then, a bright light, like a will-o'-the-wisp, would flash across the surrounding withered forest.

Approximately 100 meters away.

A dilapidated and severely damaged, empty temple, about three meters high with a spire-like top and supported by thick stone pillars, came into view.

Look at the extent of the damage.

This temple must have existed for a very long time.

Tang Zheng also stopped at this moment, turned his head slightly, and scanned his surroundings.

Under the dim moonlight, in the shade of the withered trees, a figure could be faintly seen approaching in this direction!

At the same time, sounds began to rise and fall in the silent environment, like the low growls of wild beasts.

A putrid, foul odor suddenly filled the air.

Facing the Undead Zombie that are gradually approaching.

Tang Zheng flipped his wrist, and Second-Tier Magic Scroll appeared in his palm. He squeezed it tightly.

Swish!

A holy light flashed in the darkness, and in an instant, it coalesced into Angel Guardian.

And in that very instant.

The Undead, who had been slowly approaching, suddenly quickened their pace, their footsteps becoming rapid and their roars much louder.

Bang!

A male Undead Zombie smashed through the dead wood and appeared first on the left front. With the help of Tang Zheng's monocle's "Night Vision," he could even see the maggots wriggling inside the zombie's rotting body.

"Go, lure all the Undead away from this area."

Tang Zheng gave commands to the Angel Guardian with a blank expression.

Wow!

The Angel Guardian flapped its bright yellow wings, took off, and flew into the distance.

As the Angel Guardian moved, the large number of Undead that were originally moving in that direction changed direction at the same time.

If we say...

If the scent of the living is like fragrant, fatty meat to the Undead, then the divine scent of Angel is like a torch in the darkness to the Undead!

Tang Zheng saw that the temple a hundred meters away showed no sign of approaching, so he stood still and waited quietly.

It took about seven or eight minutes.

Undead in this area have been lured away by that Angel Guardian.

"Step Two."

Tang Zheng smiled slightly, flipped his hands, and two Magic Scroll, one titled "Second-Tier: Angel Summoning," appeared.
