Magic City, National Pavilion.

Lu Yilin looked at the green sword on his shoulder with an unwilling expression, gritted his teeth and said:
“I lost.”

The tone of this sentence was dejected and weak, as if he had completely lost his fighting spirit. He was like a completely different person compared to the arrogant and proud eldest son of the Lu family a few days ago.

However, the students from other national halls fully understood Lu Yilin’s idea. In the past few days, every member of the national hall team, either under the organization of instructor Bai Dongwei or acting independently, had fought with Li Yu more than once, and then the opponent used actual actions to describe the gap between the two sides.

Unlike Ding Yumian’s strength, Ding Yumian’s strength lies in her commander-level undead bone bird and the other party’s unfathomable mental power.

The commander-level bone bird can improve the magic level, advance to the high-level mage and master the high-level magic to have the strength to fight, and the mental power can be used to resist the magic weapon. This kind of visible strength will not make people feel that they can’t catch up.

However, Li Yu was completely different. He came and went without a trace, so fast that no one could catch his figure, even a high-level wizard like Lu Yilin. The high-grade sword magic tool in his hand could easily tear apart the defensive magic tools that every member of the National Pavilion had purchased at great cost, and the limit of the power of this sword was still unknown.

It is this abyss-like gap that makes everyone appear as weak as ordinary people without magic when facing Li Yu’s attack.

“Is this pervert really a human?”

A member of the National Pavilion team sighed and asked a question that resonated with everyone.

“Forget about humans, even demons aren’t this outrageous.”

If the demons possessed means like Li Yu, the already disadvantaged situation of human beings would definitely be made worse.

“Stop talking, his girlfriend is still there, do you want to be trained more?”

Someone noticed that Ding Yumian had detached himself from the world of the book and cast his eyes over, but they immediately fell silent. No matter what, it was not good to comment on others behind their backs, especially when Ding Yumian, a big man who seemed quite easy to talk to, was a little protective of Li Yu.

Although Li Yu was more terrifying, Ding Yumian was not someone they could anger.

At this moment, Bai Dongwei, who had been watching the battle silently for several days, finally took action. He walked towards Li Yu. Li Yu, who was about to walk towards Ding Yumian, noticed Bai Dongwei’s action, changed direction and went to meet him.

“Doctor Bai, do you have any instructions?”

Bai Dongwei waved his hands repeatedly.
“It’s not necessary to give orders.”

“I just want to talk to you about something.”

“Teacher Bai, please speak.”

“Why don’t you start practicing on your own now, Li Yu?”

Li Yu frowned, and then saw Bai Dongwei’s face turn red.
“I’m not afraid of you laughing at me. I originally applied to the national government instructor to second you over and let you do your best just to make this group of students see the gap and work hard to cultivate.”

“But now…”

“That’s not a nice thing to say.”

Bai Dongwei said a little embarrassedly:

“Your presence seems a bit too depressing.”

To be honest, not only the group of unlucky students who faced Li Yu in person, but even Bai Dongwei who was watching clearly felt that Li Yu was full of invincible strength.

Li Yu’s existence no longer has an incentive effect. Instead, it reminds them that they and others are a bunch of trash, which runs counter to Bai Dongwei’s original intention.

Hearing this, Li Yu was helpless. It was not his fault that he was too strong.

“I understand what you mean. This means I can leave the National Pavilion now, right?”

“Yes, I’m so sorry.”

Bai Dongwei also felt a little embarrassed. He was the one who took the initiative to invite people over, but in the end he was the one who took the initiative to ask them to leave.

“It’s okay. I just happened to find a good place to exercise.”

Li Yu said indifferently.

“Then I wish you good luck.”

Bai Dongwei also said with joy on his face.

“Lend your blessings.”

Bai Dongwei left, and Ding Yumian came forward. With good hearing, she naturally heard the conversation between Li Yu and Bai Dongwei, which was not deliberately concealed, and asked:

“Are you going to Hangzhou?”

Li Yu shook his head.

“It’s not the time to go to Hangzhou yet. There’s another place that needs me more.”

After the words fell, Ding Yumian clearly noticed the coldness flashing in Li Yu’s eyes, and lowered his tone a little.
“Where are you going? What are you doing?”

“Chongming, kill the Black Church.”

“Yesterday I received a hunter commission from the official on my hunter account, which mentioned that the Black Church might have a base in Chongming, and it was there that covered Saran’s escape. They hope to gather capable hunters to investigate and suppress it.” Saran, Black Church, any of these words directly hit the pain points of people like Li Yu in Bocheng. Having said that, Ding Yumian knew that it was impossible to stop Li Yu from going. Even if the Black Church’s methods were cruel and treacherous, Li Yu’s strength might still bring them down.

After a slight hesitation, she suggested:
“Why don’t I go with you so we can take care of each other.”

Li Yu shook his head and refused, and gave a very good reason.

“You still have to stay in the National Pavilion. With the current strength of the National Pavilion, you should not be able to deal with those annoying Egyptians.”

Ding Yumian has more reasons for this.

“Don’t worry, the Egyptian team has gone to the ancient capital now. It’s most likely a mission related to the ancient capital’s undead. It won’t be completed in ten days or half a month.”

“Ah…this…”

Li Yu opened his mouth and wanted to say something but was stopped by Ding Yumian’s slightly stern eyes. He immediately changed his words:
“Okay, let’s go together.”

“I don’t believe that those people from the Black Church can turn the world upside down.”

Ding Yumian immediately smiled, brightening up the entire arena.

“That’s fine. I’ll go ask for leave from Teacher Bai.”

Having said that, Ding Yumian turned and left, heading briskly towards Bai Dongwei.

……

Outside the ancient capital, somewhere in the land of the dead.

Ever since the catastrophe in the ancient capital, the undead have rarely set foot on the land of the living, even on the night which is a special time for the undead.

However, this does not mean the disappearance of the undead. There will always be some places where the undead exist, such as near tombs.

The Egyptian national team was walking on a flat ground. As it was getting darker, the Egyptian team’s steps seemed a bit anxious.

“Damn it, when can we reach the settlement area mentioned on the map? It’s almost dark.”

Sayid cursed as he looked at the sun that was about to sink into the horizon.

“It’s not far away. According to the map, it’s just five kilometers ahead.”

Captain Sind’s words fell into the ears of the team members, and everyone relaxed a lot at the same time. It was only five kilometers, and even if they had to deal with some scattered undead, it would only take ten minutes. There was more than enough time, and with a changed mentality, their steps became easier.

Of course, if time is not enough, everyone will probably put on a different face.

They have entered this land of the dead for three days. During these three days, the Egyptian team has thoroughly understood the rules of this land – the daytime belongs to the living, and the nighttime belongs to the dead.

On the first day, they didn’t believe it and spent the night in the wild without any hesitation, and then…

Under the soil of the night, in the soil mixed with blood and resentment, dense undead crawled out from the ground, with countless slaves and generals, and even including two undead commanders. Even though they were the best among the young wizards, with all kinds of high-level magical tools to protect their bodies, and every member was a necromancer, they could only tremble in fear surrounded by the undead. After struggling to hold on for a night, they finally escaped from death after the undead retreated on their own initiative.

From then on, no one in the team dared to underestimate the temper and strength of the undead in this land. They followed the map obediently and carried the local specialty gray garlic, which was even more disgusting than rice corpses, into the wild.

The five-kilometer distance was quickly covered and the team arrived at the settlement. It was called a settlement, but in fact it was a cave in a cliff. The height of hundreds of meters could block the prying eyes of the undead and provide a moment of peace for travelers on a dangerous journey.

They climbed up the hundred-meter-high cliff and entered the cave. They leaned against the jagged rock wall with a long sigh of relief. Captain Sind did not rest but took out the map in his hand and the notes he carried with him to record what they had seen and heard during the day.

“Captain, I feel like the undead here are manageable. They’re not as scary as those Chinese people say they are.”

Shreve looked at Captain Sind curiously, his tone full of pride, this was far inferior to their pyramid.

Xinde glanced at Shreve and knew exactly what he was thinking. He immediately hit him with a stick.

“The scope of our activities these days is only a royal mausoleum from a thousand years ago. The strength of the undead is limited.”

“If you want to find some excitement, that’s fine. According to the Chinese, there are many emperors’ tombs from thousands or even two thousand years ago. There are many dead souls there. Do you want to go and show us?”

“No, no, no.”

Shrew shrank his neck in embarrassment. He knew that the emperor of China had the same status as the pharaoh of Egypt, and the imperial tomb was equivalent to their pyramids. He didn’t want to take a tour in the pyramids, as that would be suicide.

Xinde didn’t take it too seriously. He put away the map and items and explained to everyone:

“Our training mission this time is to explore the distribution of undead around two thousand-year-old royal tombs. We have already explored the first one, and we must be alert for the next one. I heard that the owner of that tomb was a royal family who was good at fighting. The strength of the undead around the tomb is likely to be greater than this one, so we must be careful.”

“Yes.”

Seeing everyone answering in unison, Xinde felt relieved. This time, nothing strange would happen…

Right?
Feeling the unusual vibrations around the cave, Xinde’s heart suddenly sank to the bottom. He quickly stood up and called on everyone to rush out of the cave.

“Get out!”

However, before anyone could find the entrance to the cave, the mountain seemed to come alive and sealed the entrance, then slowly sank into the ground. (End of this chapter)
