Corpse General

Seeing the dwarf's constipated expression, Asha Ruiya spoke up. She glanced at him and said softly, "As we've traveled, I've discovered that not all areas are teeming with undead. Let's not use the Gray Garlic for now, except when we encounter an overwhelming number of undead that we can't handle."

"That's a good idea." The short man thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

This is much more reliable than brute force at the last minute!

According to Asha Ruiya, they didn't use the Gray Garlic continuously during the latter half of the night. After traveling about three or four miles away from Yangyang Village, they could clearly feel that the gazes of the surrounding spirits had become less friendly.

The spirits in this area wander aimlessly, in twos and threes, mostly the Rotten Corpse of servants. Apart from their eerie appearance, they are nothing special.

A Rotten Corpse, which was sharpening its teeth on a rock, seemed to smell the aroma of human flesh. It turned its head with a creaking sound, and its green pupils locked onto the nearest woman in black stockings.

The woman in black stockings showed no emotion in her eyes, and she didn't even display the panic and disgust that women usually show towards this repulsive thing.

Her bearded attendant had taken an extra step to the side, the icy Star Map beneath his feet congealing like frost-covered leaves...

"Crack..."

Seeing that the follower had actually used Intermediate Magic to deal with a Servant Level undead, Tang Miao thought to himself, "What an idiot!"

In a place like this, trying to impress girls is just plain stupid.

"A Li, don't waste your magic power." Asha Ruiya's brows furrowed slightly as she watched her bearded follower use Intermediate Magic to deal with a single Rotten Corpse, and she gave him a word of advice.

The bearded follower A Li hurriedly performed a strange bow, appearing as if he were listening to a lecture.

"Speaking of which, we've been traveling together for so long, and we still don't know how to address each other?" the short man asked with a grin. With his keen eye, he had already realized that this woman was no ordinary person.

"Ye Meng'e, Ye as in leaf, Meng as in dream, E as in graceful, you can call me Meng'e." Asha Ruiya said her Chinese name, and introduced herself quite carefully.

"Great name!"

The short man, acting like a sycophant, immediately began praising her.

Tang Miao walked up to her and said, "I think this isn't your name, is it?"

He asked that question because she had just said she wasn't Huaxia.

"This is my name here," Asha Ruiya replied, but did not explain the meaning of her name.

Seeing this, Tang Miao didn't ask any further questions. After all, they might see each other again in the future, and keeping asking might make her disliked. She couldn't afford to offend such a wonderful person.

After this brief interlude, the group continued their journey. Along the way, it was almost entirely the dwarf man and Asha Ruiya's two attendants who dealt with the wandering undead.

"It'll be dawn in about an hour," the short man said, glancing at his watch after dealing with another wave of enemies.

"These undead aren't so difficult to deal with," the follower said smugly.

Upon hearing this, the burly man was startled and hurriedly said, "Brother, please don't say that! The Land of the Dead is very eerie; you really can't say things like that!"

The attendant was unimpressed, seemingly thinking the burly man was making a fuss over nothing. After all, in his view, these undead could be easily wiped out.

"Zzz..."

A pale bolt of lightning ripped open this narrow space, instantly illuminating the oppressive black sky and the endless darkness of the earth, making one feel as if they were walking inside an endless black box.

The air had become heavy and oppressive at some point. As thunder rumbled incessantly above the clouds, large raindrops began to fall, striking the ground heavily and splashing up tiny mud clumps!

"Damn it, it's raining!" the short man cursed.

As soon as he finished speaking, a torrential downpour began, white lightning flashed, and the sky and earth were filled with the reflection of the rain, forming a dense, continuous expanse.

The burly man stood there blankly, looking somewhat helpless, and said, "We're doomed! The rain will wash away the smell of garlic, we're doomed!"

The short man hurriedly said, "Let's go, let's find somewhere to take shelter from the rain!"

Asha Ruiya's two attendants were incredibly attentive. They didn't have umbrellas, but they quickly took off their coats to make raincoats for her, shielding her as she walked, demonstrating a level of nobility unlike that of ordinary people.

Tang Miao was somewhat puzzled. After all, Asha Ruiya wasn't Goddess anymore, was she?

As they trudged through the mud, their pace quickened.

This place is a plain; unless you head towards the Qinling Mountains, it's impossible to find shelter from the rain.

But is Qin Ling's place someone can just trespass on?

The Demon Beast there would surely devour them alive if they saw them.

"Ugh!!"

"..."

"Ugh!!"

At the same time, suddenly, several heart-pounding roars came from the side.

Through the rain, the shadow of a gigantic corpse, as large as an ox, became increasingly clear, heading straight for Asha Ruiya.

This creature had several arms, each wielding a rusty axe. Rainwater washed away the dried blood from these weapons, making them look even more terrifying. One wonders how many people these weapons had killed!

It was as strong as an ox, with grotesque limbs. What was even more terrifying was that such a large body had a woman's small head, with a head of dirty long hair hanging down, and a face full of gloom and malice washed by the rain!

"Why... why did you abandon me!" The woman opened her mouth, uttering a very muffled and unpleasant sound.

"Corpse General! Great Corpse General! We're doomed, we're doomed!" The short man stared at the Great Corpse General in terror, clearly on the verge of fleeing for his life.

However, before Asha Ruiya could make a move, her two attendants each released magic to defend themselves.

The two of them made a move and forced the Great Corpse General back several steps.

However, at the same time, a large group of Rotten Corpse also appeared to be rushing towards this place from afar. They seemed to be obeying the commands of this Great Corpse General...

"Don't panic, A Xin, A Li, you deal with those hordes of rotting Rotten Corpse that are surging forward," Asha Ruiya calmly instructed.

Her hair was soaked by the rain, and even her black veil seemed about to slip off her exquisite face.

Perhaps because she was about to fight, she casually tore her veil off and revealed a flawless, white face.

This wasn't a completely Western face; in fact, if you didn't look closely, it wasn't much different from an Eastern woman's. But her eyes were exceptionally bright, like stars, and her long eyelashes were now glistening with moisture, making her look like a pear blossom in the rain—utterly captivating!

While Tang Miao was admiring the beauty, Asha Ruiya was somewhat displeased, but the current situation didn't allow her to lose her temper. Especially since she could sense that both Tang Miao and Mo Fan were quite powerful!

He then turned to Tang Miao and said, "If we join forces, we should be able to deal with him."

Before Tang Miao could respond, the short man hurriedly urged, "Run! Run! We're no match for the Great Corpse General!"

It wasn't that he had a change of heart; he just knew that trying to escape alone in the rain was almost certain death. Running together might give them a chance to survive!
