I Didn't Do It on Purpose-Oops! / Found It: A Thousand-Layer Matryoshka

Nothing happened overnight. Early the next morning, everyone gathered, where the Short Man and the strong man, the guides, were already waiting.

Lu Jun also saw another group of people, led by a graceful woman wearing a black silk veil, and followed by two male attendants.

His eyes were immediately drawn to the woman with an exotic charm.

Her outfit was stunning; she wore a silk robe embroidered with colorful birds, and a soft, crimson shawl draped down her back in a luxurious manner, swaying as she walked.

The curves of her slender waist and rounded hips were rhythmically concealed and revealed beneath the draped shawl.

The woman's voluptuous figure stretched the cheongsam without a single wrinkle, and her long, slender legs, encased in black stockings, were exceptionally alluring.

The woman in the black silk cheongsam glanced at Lu Jun and his companions, then smiled gently and said, "My name is Ye Meng'e."

Upon hearing this, Mo Fan and the others gave their names, and seeing her appearance, they couldn't help but swallow hard.

The Short Man exclaimed in a low voice, "My goodness, with a figure like that, I'd rather live ten years less to sleep with her once."

Upon hearing Ye Meng'e's name, Lu Jun secretly scoffed, "Choosing the surname Ye is quite a wicked thing to do. Asha Ruiya, your disguise has been exposed."

Seeing her brother staring for so long, Lu Mei, the older sister beside him, glared at him with her beautiful eyes and scoffed, "What are you looking at? Am I not as good as her?"

"Hehehe, I didn't mean that. I just think she's something else. Hmm! My sister is the prettiest."

Upon hearing this, Lu Jun turned to explain, looking Lu Mei up and down. Not to mention her mature and charming figure, her ample bosom was certainly not something a young girl could compete with. He sincerely praised her.

Lu Mei's ears turned slightly red. She patted Lu Jun and scolded him playfully, "What are you saying?"

Despite their lecherous nature, even the Short Man and Mo Fan, though lecherous, still had some morals. They ignored married women and kept staring at Ye Meng'e with admiration.

Asha Ruiya didn't mind. She was European, with an open and ethereal personality, and smiled as she set off with the group.

Suddenly, Lu Jun asked, "Miss Ye, you're not Chinese?"

Seeing Lu Jun's refined and otherworldly appearance, Ye Meng'e's eyes lit up slightly, showing interest. With a smile, she teased, "That's right, doesn't your female companion get angry when you talk to me?"

"Your Chinese is very good."

Lu Jun remained expressionless and gave an irrelevant answer.

"Hmph." Ye Meng'e glanced at Lu Mei, a woman whose looks were on par with her own.

But he found Lu Mei's pretty face tense, and she didn't show any reaction.

Her smile was alluring, and she countered with, "Do you want to understand me?"

Lu Jun sensed the flirtatious undertone, but instead of being shy, he frankly replied, "It's nothing, I'm just curious what a foreigner like you is doing in the Ancient Capital."

The others in the group Mo Fan, the Short Man, and the strong man from the Weiju Village, all secretly pricked up their ears; they were just as curious.

Unexpectedly, Ye Meng'e didn't shy away from smiling and said, "I'm from the Parthenon Temple, and I'm here to see a colleague."

Mo Fan muttered, "Damn it, if someone's average-looking, asking them all sorts of questions means they're a lackey or someone investigating their background; if someone's handsome, they'll confess without even being asked."

Lu Jun remarked meaningfully, "Parthenon, I remember that the Holy Son Wen Tai fell more than ten years ago, and a new generation of goddess hasn't been introduced for a long time."

Upon hearing this, Ye Meng'e frowned, but Lu Jun remained silent.

The group fell silent and hurried across the boundless wilderness. If they didn't arrive by day, nightfall would mean the death of the undead.

The life force of all plants on earth has been eroded by the dead, revealing a desolate, grayish-white sandy ground that rustles underfoot.

The Ancient Capital has a long and rich history, and many ancient tombs are buried there. The spirits that were born there are said to be powerful. Some people jokingly say that you can find a grave if you just dig in your own yard.

Lu Jun and his group had traveled halfway when the sky completely darkened.

The night was filled with howling winds, suddenly becoming extremely terrifying.

"Ugh~, ugh!"

A sound, as if something filthy was stuck in its throat, suddenly came from the ground. Everyone abruptly noticed a head teeming with maggots poking out, its eyes drooping and its jaw slumped...

The undead emerged, the lowest-ranking Servant-level rotting undead, their bodies still deeply embedded in the earth.

But this rotting corpse seemed to be just the beginning of a signal, and soon roars rose and fell, filling the surrounding area.

Suddenly, a large patch of soil cracked open, revealing a huge tomb less than a hundred meters away from the group.

The tomb must have been quite old; the stone bricks were rotten beyond recognition, and more than twenty half-corpses and half-skeletons lay scattered inside.

As if they heard the cry from the fallen head, they suddenly crawled out of the tomb with bloodshot eyes!

"What the hell is that?!"

Mo Fan's body was engulfed in purple flames, and he was about to unleash a Fierce Fist to kill them all.

The Short Man beside him sternly rebuked him, saying, "Don't be impulsive, look around."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Jun and the others scanned their surroundings, and Mo Fan immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

There were more than a dozen of these stone tombs scattered across this small patch of muddy land, less than a few hundred meters in circumference. Suddenly, hundreds of undead servants, skeletons, and rotting corpses swarmed around them.

"Go dig it up, is it really that exaggerated?"

Mo Fan exclaimed in surprise, feeling that he couldn't quell the situation without using High-level Magic.

But that's not all. Deeper into the darkness, several kilometers away, countless undead awaken, their presence faintly resembling that of powerful warriors.

The Ancient Capital Undead, immediately taught these outsiders a lesson.

Chapter 224 Intentionally Accidentally

The Short Man trembled all over; the fear of the dead was deeply ingrained in the locals.

"Quickly eat the Gray Garlic!" he shouted. "At night, the undead cannot be completely killed; even the strongest mage will be overwhelmed by the vast sea of the dead."

Upon hearing this, Lu Jun, Mo Fan, Asha Ruiya, and the others did not act recklessly because of their superior cultivation or hidden abilities.

They were prepared to honestly eat the Gray Garlic.

However, when the Gray Garlic was taken out, a strong, pungent stench filled the air, causing everyone to frown, even the Short Man and the strong man who were used to eating it.

This creature is rare; it only grows in places where corpses accumulate, absorbing nutrients from the dead, so its taste is naturally unpalatable.

The two Short Man were the first to eat it, and their faces visibly contorted.

Next, it was Mo Fan's turn. He put on the Pain Mask and yelled, "What the hell is this?"

Asha Ruiya gracefully lifted her veil, swallowed the medicine, and her delicate features remained unchanged, barely touched.

Lu Jun, who was standing next to her, had sharp eyes and noticed the woman's pretty eyebrows furrow. He couldn't help but remark, "If it tastes bad, just admit it. Why be so pretentious?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Asha Ruiya couldn't hold back anymore. Her perfect face crumpled into a grimace as she glared fiercely at Lu Jun.

Lu Jun looked around and suddenly smiled, "You've all eaten, haven't you?"

"Yes," Asha Ruiya scoffed, "You're the ones I'll choose. Let's see how you fare."

"Haha, that's good."

Lu Jun smiled slightly. He controlled the star, and with a thought, he set it on track, releasing Dimensional Summon.

Buzz buzz buzz!

In the darkness, a magnificent magic circle intertwined, with intricate black and purple patterns spreading out, exuding an eerie and chilling aura.

The Night Thunder Dream Beast stepped out, its terrifying aura of Commander-level sweeping across the area. Thick darkness surged forth, and wisps of black mist enveloped an area of several hundred meters, subtly resonating with the darkness.

With a whoosh, the rotting corpses and undead that had been rushing forward were stunned and panicked, pushing backward, making a crisp sound as the bones collided.

Many rotting corpses and skeletons turned to ash under the trampling.

Upon seeing this, the Short Man was first taken aback. "Wow, Commander-level Summoned Beast, a high-level expert!!"

Then he realized what he was doing and cried out, "Oh dear, sir, you mustn't do this! Please, stop using your Supernatural Power!"

"Perhaps in other Demon Beast- infested areas, Commander-level demon would be enough to intimidate servants and generals, and even Demon Beast of the same level would give him face, but that won't work in the Ancient Capital of the Dead."

"They'll only go even crazier. Soon, Commander-level Corpse Minister will be drawn here, commanding endless undead to exhaust our mana, and then tearing apart our Summoned Beast."

Lu Jun ignored the Short Man and looked thoughtfully at the lively Night Thunder Dream Beast. The spreading Dark Aura condensed into mist, reminiscent of the Dark Domain [Night Ruler].

It seems to be very well adapted to this dark, undead land. With the added advantage of the night, its strength has surpassed that of Sub-Commander; it has reached the level of a full-fledged commander.

"Yo-yo~, "Night Thunder Dream Beast growled softly.

As expected, Lu Jun's spiritual perception revealed the truth, and he said with delight, "You mean that as long as you stay here for a long time, you are very likely to complete the advancement and cross a small step?"

Only then did he remember that the unique skill of the Dream Beast's Wandering Bloodline could stimulate the mind and absorb some kind of mysterious Warm Spring and sublimation in a region full of rich cultural atmosphere and matching attributes.

It can be said to be the most worry-free Demon Beast.

This place is the Ancient Capital of the Nine Provinces, the site of six dynasties, and home to the most powerful dynasties of the time, Qin, Han, and Tang. It is also Undead Forbidden Zone, with a strong Dark Aura, which perfectly fits the criteria.

Lu Jun's eyes lit up. "The National Games tour covers Seven Continents and has taken us through countless Ancient Ruins. The Night Thunder Dream Beast might very well have advanced to the peak of the Commander level before the National Games even begin."

Roar!!

Just then, from the darkness in the distance, more than ten kilometers away, a deafening roar soared into the sky, accompanied by layers of Deathly Aura sweeping in.

"Oh no..." The Short Man's face turned pale. He looked at Lu Jun in panic and shouted, "It's the Corpse Minister! Oh no, with Gray Garlic, we're all doomed!"

As for Asha Ruiya, instead of being surprised by the handsome and dashing leader of the dream beast, she frowned deeply and was filled with anger.

She said coldly, "Don't you dare ruin the whole team."

As the head of intelligence, she had already conducted her research before coming to the Ancient Capital and knew that she had to abide by the local rules, otherwise even those with Super Rank cultivation would find it difficult to escape.

Hearing this, Lu Jun snapped out of his daze and chuckled, "Don't worry, I'm not that stupid."

The next moment, the Night Thunder Dream Beast's flamboyant Dark Aura suddenly contracted, transforming into eerie mental fluctuations. The Nightmare Domain unfolded, the night becoming hazy and dim, understated yet brimming with danger.

Immediately following, Lu Jun One Thought Star Chart to seize the opportunity and unleash the Intermediate Level intermediate-tier Mind Invisibility.

Everyone felt a gentle touch spread throughout their bodies.

Then they witnessed an astonishing scene: the countless undead, summoned by the leader of the Corpse Minister, were about to charge forward with bloodshot eyes.

Enveloped by the Nightmare Domain, I felt as if I had become blind, standing there blankly.

Rumble!

The mountains trembled, and in the distance, a gigantic skeleton, like a rabbit leaping and a falcon swooping, rushed over, covering more than ten miles, and crashed down heavily.

Thump! Everyone's bodies floated several feet into the air before their feet touched the ground. A deep pit appeared nearby, billowing smoke and dust, and flying rocks.

The silver-white steel Bone Minister, tens of meters tall, swept its gaze around like a colossal giant, completely ignoring the people standing nearby. It scratched its head, seemingly wondering where the living were.

Asha Ruiya and the others held their breath, not daring to make a sound, for fear of being discovered.

However, the Night Thunder Dream Beast's Nightmare Domain seemed to be quite formidable; Lu Jun and her brother were able to roam freely in front of Bone Minister without being detected.

The two then mounted their dream beasts and called to the others to leave together.

Upon seeing this, the Short Man's eyes widened, Asha Ruiya was also astonished; she had danced so closely on someone's grave and was unharmed.

The group cautiously followed Lu Jun, running for more than ten miles. Looking back, Bone Minister was still foolishly searching in the same spot.

Finally Asha Ruiya couldn't hold back any longer and asked, "What abilities does your Summoned Beast have?"

Lu Jun remained calm and did not answer; the Night Thunder Dream Beast was merely a cover-up.

On the other side, Mo Fan stared blankly at the dream beast, then slapped his forehead and said painfully, "Ugh, you can even block the life force perception of the undead, why didn't you say so? I had to go eat that Gray Garlic."

Upon hearing this, Asha Ruiya's expression turned sour; the memory of that taste made them want to vomit.

Lu Jun smiled faintly and said, "I did it on purpose, it was an accident."

"You!" Asha Ruiya her teeth in hatred, knowing that this guy was laughing at them.

Fortunately, after this little incident, the atmosphere in the team became relaxed and pleasant.

Of course, Lu Jun wasn't simply avoiding the unpalatable Gray Garlic. Besides releasing Night Thunder Dream Beast to absorb the Warm Spring and evolve, the Gray Garlic had too many drawbacks.

Splash!

Not long after they had walked a while, rumbling thunder rumbled in the sky, and a torrential downpour began.

Seeing this, the Short Man said with relief, "Luckily, there's an expert here who can cover us up. Otherwise, the rain would have washed away the effect of the Gray Garlic, and we would have been trapped in the Sea of the Dead, with no place to be buried."
