Necromancy?

Whispering Plains

A woman dressed in fiery red leather armor held a broadsword, and a pale blue light emanated from her body.

As she swung the broadsword, one sharp Sword Qi after another slashed out.

She was surrounded by hyena-like creatures, each as large as an ox, with bloodshot eyes and an extremely sinister aura, which lunged at the woman!

The woman wore red leather armor that accentuated her alluring figure. She had a flat stomach, a slender waist, and long legs. The broadsword in her hand was half a person's height and as wide as a palm, gleaming with a sharp, cold light.

By this time, the woman had many injuries; her leather armor was torn, revealing her fair skin.

She was seriously injured; not only that, the wound was turning black and emitting a foul odor.

Those hyena-like creatures have highly venomous mouths.

Behind the pack of hyenas, a hyena three or four times larger than them lay lazily, its scarlet eyes scrutinizing the woman.

"Damn it! I shouldn't have coveted Archmage Dan Dong's notes. Even a mage like him is dying here; what was I doing getting involved!"

As she lost a lot of blood, Feng Ling's movements as she wielded her longsword became slower and slower, as she desperately killed one Lion Hound after another.

His consciousness began to blur, and he was panting heavily.

However, just as she was in a daze, she suddenly saw a young man dressed in a blue robe appear abruptly among the pack of Lion Hound.

Feng Ling jolted awake, and her vision cleared.

She didn't know why such a handsome and refined young man would appear among the pack of Lion Hound, with neither Sword Qi energy nor Law Technique energy emanating from him.

The young man looked somewhat surprised, as if he had come here by accident.

Feng Ling saw a Lion Hound leap up suddenly and bite at the young man's neck! Lion Hound have an extremely strong bite force and are a terrifying mythical beast. They live in packs, are skilled hunters, and some powerful individual mythical beasts are no match for them.

Feng Ling watched as the young man was about to die a horrible death in the jaws of the Lion Hound, but the young man simply waved his hand.

With a bang, the Lion Hound was instantly smashed to pieces, exploding into a cloud of blood mist! Feng Ling was stunned for a moment.

Then he saw the young man walking towards him.

He strolled around as if taking a leisurely walk, while Lion Hound pounced on him from all directions. But he casually slapped them one by one, and with a few light and effortless blows, one Lion Hound after another was smashed to pieces.

As he walked along, all he saw on the ground were the corpses of Lion Hound.

Feng Ling did not sense any swordsman or mage aura from this young man.

Chen Wang was also somewhat surprised at this moment.

He pushed the Bronze Gate to enter this world, but unexpectedly found himself among a horde of Demon Beast as soon as he emerged.

In the distance stood a woman dressed in red leather armor, wielding an enormous broadsword.

"Where is this? This outfit is quite nice, female warrior, leather armor, it really shows off her figure," Chen Wang thought to himself.

He casually swatted away the Lion Hound that the women found powerful.

The Lion Hound king could no longer contain itself. It suddenly stood up and stared at Chen Wang with its ferocious eyes.

It sensed a dangerous aura emanating from this despicable young man.

Chen Wang moved with lightning speed, effortlessly killing one Lion Hound after another, none of them able to get close to him.

The king of the Lion Hound let out a howling sound, and then the Lion Hound began to scatter and flee. It was the first to leave the area.

This human gave it a sense of danger, an indescribable danger!

Feng Ling was somewhat surprised that the arrogant and haughty Lion Hound King had surrendered!

Was it a coincidence? Or was there something wrong? Chen Wang walked up to the Red Armor Woman.

At this moment, Feng Ling's body was already swaying precariously, barely managing to support herself with that broadsword.

"Who are you?" Feng Ling asked weakly.

But as soon as she finished speaking, her eyes rolled back, a tremendous sense of weakness washed over her, the poison surged to her chest, and she collapsed.

Chen Wang was about to say a few words to someone when, unexpectedly, the Red Armor Woman collapsed in front of him with a thud.

Chen Wang frowned slightly.

Is this some kind of staged accident scam?!

Feng Ling woke up slowly, and surprisingly, she didn't feel any stinging or burning sensation from her wounds.

She looked to the side and saw the back of the young man from before.

And now he found himself lying on the cold grass.

Feng Ling was speechless.

She fainted in front of a strange man, and she was actually quite scared.

But now, I'm just left here, unconscious, on the cold grass...

A strange light flashed in her eyes.

Chen Wang turned around and glanced at her. "You're awake?"

He held the broadsword in his hand.

This greatsword, about half a person's height, wielded with great force and weight.

Feng Ling nodded. Although she still felt weak, her wounds had miraculously disappeared.

Feng Ling asked in surprise, "You're a mage of the Light element?"

Chen Wang nodded. "You have good taste."

He returned the greatsword to Feng Ling.

Feng Ling took the sword, and then felt a sudden weight in her hand.

She usually found the sword quite easy to use, but now, feeling extremely weak, it felt rather heavy.

She opened her Storage Ring, a coming-of-age gift from her mother, which contained a cubic meter of space.

Chen Wang had just tried to read her memories, but found that this woman's soul had a special power, and this power seemed to come from her bloodline.

This immediately piqued Chen Wang's curiosity.

However, if he were to forcibly search her soul, the woman would be rendered useless, and he might not be able to obtain much information. Therefore, Chen Wang simply used Law Technique to revive her.

"What's your name?" Chen Wang asked, taking the initiative.

"My name is Feng Ling."

"Feng Ling, the kind that jingles and tinkles?" Chen Wang asked.

"Of course not, my surname is Feng, the Feng of Phoenix."

She raised her chin, waiting to see the man's reaction.

The Feng Family is an extremely powerful Aristocratic Clan, renowned throughout the three major kingdoms of Dragon River World.

"So you're from the Feng Family. My apologies for not recognizing you," Chen Wang said dismissively.

Despite saying that, Feng Ling didn't see a trace of surprise in his eyes. "Does that mean nothing to the Feng Family?"

In reality, Chen Wang had no idea at all.

After some subtle questioning, Chen Wang learned a lot of information from her.

He found that this girl was rather simple-minded and had a somewhat willful temper, unlike Gu Xin Yue's fiery temper. Chen Wang just wanted to beat her up because of her willfulness.

He learned that there were three major kingdoms in the Dragon River World: the Night Moon Dynasty, the Glazed Dynasty, and the Falling Star Dynasty.

Moreover, there are cultivators in this world, who are divided into two major systems: mages and swordsmen.

"Magic and swords?" Chen Wang smiled faintly.

After a brief conversation, the girl wearing red leather armor suddenly realized something and ran deeper into the woods.

Upon reaching the depths of the woods, she discovered that her bundle was still there and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as he was about to take the bundle, a hand suddenly reached out and snatched it away.

Feng Ling turned her head and saw that it was Chen Wang, the young man who had saved her.

"What you do?"

Chen Wang said, "According to the rules you just mentioned, I saved you, so you should be my slave. This thing is my spoils of war. What, you want it?"

Feng Ling's eyes widened immediately, and she was stunned for a moment. "My Feng Family is from the Night Moon Dynasty. What I just told you about the customs of the Glazed Dynasty is a barbaric country!"

Chen Wang said nonchalantly, "Coincidentally, I am from the Glazed Dynasty."

Feng Ling's beautiful eyes widened immediately.

Her appearance possessed a wild beauty, but her eyes were beautiful almond-shaped, watery, and didn't seem particularly menacing when she looked at others.

"You're lying! You're clearly a member of some Divine Bloodline Family!" Feng Ling said.

She was very impressed with her own wit.

Divine Bloodline Family?

Chen Wang's heart skipped a beat; he hadn't mentioned this matter when he was chatting with Feng Ling earlier.

His gaze lingered on Feng Ling's beautiful eyes for a few moments.

"Or... soul searching is more direct."

Feng Ling was startled by Chen Wang's gaze and couldn't help but take a step back, saying, "You, you, what are you doing? Don't get any bad ideas!"

Chen Wang laughed and said, "You are my slave. Do I need you to teach me what evil thoughts I might have?"

Feng Ling had seen Chen Wang stroll leisurely among that terrifying pack of Lion Hound.

Even his mother couldn't be as elegant as him.

Her tone softened slightly. "We can be friends, but I can't be a slave. You've just come from the Divine Bloodline Family, so I can teach you some etiquette."

When Chen Wang heard Feng Ling say that, he couldn't help but find it somewhat amusing.

This girl is so innocent; if she were in the Cultivation World, she'd probably be devoured without a trace. In the Winter, she'd probably already be sold into prostitution by now.

He opened the bundle in his hand and saw a notebook and a ring that shimmered with a faint light inside.

The power revealed above intrigued Chen Wang; it resembled the power of Yin.

He withdrew his gaze and looked at Feng Ling: "I still prefer you to be my female slave."

Feng Ling's face immediately fell. She had a bad temper, but she knew that the person in front of her was very capable.

She was willful, not stupid; at this moment, all she could do was grit her teeth and suppress her temper.

She forced a smile that looked more like a grimace. "Don't do that."

Chen Wang nodded, raising an eyebrow and saying, "That's it."

Feng Ling wanted to cry but had no tears.

She had read many biographies and travelogues before, and longed for the kind of chivalrous knight-errant who rescued the heroine, a man of noble character, and then the two would have a moving love story.

But what's going on now?

She, a perfectly respectable young lady of the Feng Family, had actually become a female slave?! Chen Wang opened the notebook and flipped through it, discovering that it was signed Dandong.

He opened the book, and on the first page was a sentence.

"They've found me!"

This sentence was written in bright red ink, making it look like blood seeping out.

Although a long time has passed, it still exudes an unsettling atmosphere.

Chen Wang opened his notebook and started reading. Feng Ling, who was standing to the side, looked over curiously.

These are the notes of Grand Magister Dan Dong! Grand Magister Dan Dong is a necromancer. Although he is only a mage, the necromancer class has very high combat power, and his mage status is comparable to that of other Grand Magus. Moreover, his knowledge is amazing.

Therefore, the notes of the Grand Magister Dan Dong are of astonishing value.

Chen Wang opened the notebook, which contained many necromancy spells, including refining puppets, refining skeletons, and turning living people into puppets.

Chen Wang didn't understand these necromancy spells; he just flipped through them quickly.

Feng Ling, standing to the side, stared wide-eyed, her face pale.

"A forbidden book! This is a forbidden book!"

They were terrified of the forbidden necromancy mentioned above.

No wonder people say that necromancers deal with the dead for years, eventually turning themselves into something like the living dead, or even the dead.

It was indeed extremely evil!

Chen Wang looked at her terrified expression and was somewhat puzzled.

What happened?

He also knew quite a few rather unorthodox Law Technique in the Cultivation World, especially the Golden Core Stage Cultivator he later dealt with from Dragon Head Mountain, who possessed many techniques for skinning people, creating blood shadows, and making flesh puppets.

If this little girl knew, she would probably think of me as a demon.

Chen Wang closed the book.

Feng Ling exclaimed in horror, "Don't learn anything from this book! These are all taboos! Dealing with the dead will disturb their peace even after they die!"

"Don't talk." Chen Wang patted Feng Ling's bottom.

Feng Ling winced in pain, her face flushed with embarrassment and disbelief.

Although the young man in front of her was handsome and fit the image of a noble person in her mind, his behavior was really too wicked; he was a complete villain! Chen Wang picked up the ring.

Feng Ling murmured to herself,

"This should be Dandong's Storage Ring."

Feng Ling knew the value of the ring.

The Storage Ring of the Grand Magister Dan Dong contains something terrifying; its capacity may exceed ten cubic meters, or even reach fifty cubic meters. It is a divine artifact-level Storage Ring.

If Chen Wang knew what she was thinking, he would definitely laugh out loud.

The space in the Universe Bag in his hand alone was extremely vast, beyond description.

The smallest Storage Artifact in their possession is something that Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators wear, and it must be at least a thousand cubic meters in size.

He sensed it and found a special power emanating from the ring, which was likely a restriction on the ring.

Seeing him carefully examining the ring, Feng Ling reminded him, "Opening this ring requires a special incantation, which should be in the notes of Grand Magister Dan Dong."

Chen Wang didn't look at the notes, nodded, and casually erased the restrictions on them.

For him, the restrictions on this were not strong, far weaker than the restrictions on the Storage Ring of the Golden Core Stage Cultivator he had refined during this period.

The next moment, a deep cave entrance opened.

Chen Wang glanced at it; it was about ten cubic meters in size, containing some experimental equipment, a skeleton, and materials from many dead bodies.

What interested him most was that there was also a book inside Compendium of Necromancy.

Compared to the notes of the Grand Magister Dan Dong, this book records a complete system of cultivation, as well as many Law Technique.

"Necromantic magic?" Chen Wang muttered to himself.
