This time, the weight of the mules specially prepared by the Fei Erde Family had indeed saved the Mercenary from having too much physical and mental energy. As a result, every single Mercenary seemed abnormally relaxed. There were even some who laughed and talked, feeling extremely relaxed.

De Ke was an old horse who knew his path, he did not even need to look at the map to know where he was. But with De Ke's reminder, the atmosphere in the group became heavy.

When the grassland appeared, Thunder knew that the team had already left the Sunset Wasteland's area. Unfortunately, he could not sense any undead aura, not even the slightest bit of evil power. It was very different from the environment he had imagined.

Big Ben said suddenly: "There is no trace of undead aura, there is not even a bone to be seen, seems like the Fei Erde Family's twenty thousand gold coins are going to be wasted."

Because the mission this time was too special, the Fei Erde Family had no choice but to pay a heavy price. Reportedly, the Fei Erde Family had already paid twenty thousand gold coins to pay for the encirclement and annihilation this time.

As long as it was an expert, the lowest level would not be lower than the third level, regardless of your identity, and as long as you had the cultivation of warrior power, the cost of hiring would be three gold coins. The fourth level would be ten gold coins, the Fifth Stage would be thirty gold coins, and the Sixth Order would be thirty gold coins. This kind of employment fee was no less than several times that of normal. In addition to the harsh conditions for this kind of employment, it was completely possible to see the seriousness and determination the Fei Erde Family had this time.

De Ke cautioned: "Big Ben, you have still underestimated the difficulty of this mission. Originally, the price that the Fei Erde Family had to pay was ten times this amount, but after what happened to us, Royal Cavalry had no choice but to spend it for the Fei Erde Family, and directly saved a sum of money. "

Fan Defate and Ai Huade looked at each other and saw the shock in their hearts.

Thunder was about to say something, but a disgusting, rotten smell in the air interrupted his plan. Not only was it thunder, even Yi Fenglin, who had a keen sense of smell, frowned.

De Ke was also straightforward, he immediately took out his fake Ice Roar and said with a serious expression: "Such a strong scent of death so early in the morning, it seems like the matter is more serious than we expected. Everyone be careful, we will soon encounter the enemy's Undead Legion. "

Under De Ke's reminder, all the Mercenary entered a state of battle.

As for the Royal Knight who were leading the way, although their formation remained the same, it was just that they held the Knight's lance tighter, and their expressions had a sense of nervousness that they did not have earlier.

Just then, Lei Site who was in the lead suddenly raised his hand.

The entire Royal Cavalry suddenly stopped, in an extremely orderly fashion. Although the Royal Cavalry s were famous, their strength and fame were obvious. They were not something that a random group of Mercenary s could compare to.

"Miss Wei La, it is a highly decayed corpse, Sir Lei Site had already sent a Knight of the fourth step to check on the situation."

A Magician who was using the eagle-eye operation to detect came back to Wei La filled with suspicion and reported what he had discovered.

Wei La's doubts became even stronger, and he asked: "Strange, didn't we have to scout the horses, why haven't we reported back yet?"

BOOM!

Just as Wei La finished asking and was waiting for a reply, a violent explosion interrupted everything.

The knight who had been sent to investigate slowly fell down, and the explosives were the highly rotten corpse.

Wei La muttered absentmindedly: "necromancy: Corpse Explosion!"

Everyone who heard this felt a chill down their spines.

Lei Site's heart was bleeding when he saw this. He immediately shouted in anger, "From now on, everyone must stay away from any corpses, even the carcasses of domestic animals cannot be approached.

With regards to Lei Site's orders, even the Mercenary who had hatred in his body would acquiesce.

necromancer's attack pattern was too weird. He actually used such a method to hit the encirclement with a Sap.

With regards to what happened just now, Thunder and De Ke chose to remain silent.

Under such an atmosphere, the speed of the march was naturally not slow. Very quickly, they arrived at their first and last village under attack from the necromancer.

However, this place was overcast. Not to mention humans, not even a single domestic animal was left behind. It was like a dead zone, making people's hair stand on end. Even though the scorching sun was still high above their heads, everyone still felt an indescribable chill.

"The necromancer who deserves to die!"

Seeing this, Ai Huade, who had the status of a noble, could not help but scold.

This village wasn't that big, but it wasn't small either. Even if it was small, it could still fit two to three hundred people. However, the elderly, children, domestic animals, and birds here did not have a single life. Needless to say, he was killed by the unforgivable necromancer and became his Undead army.

"Look over there!"

Big Ben, who had good eyesight, suddenly pointed at a surrounded area near the village with a furious expression.

That place looked like the gathering point of a grave, but all of the anger had been broken and there were many signs of explosion. It seemed that necromancer had even used the corpses of the dead. The Mercenary s, who had always respected that person's remains, felt their hair stand on end, and wished they could cut that necromancer into eight pieces.

The mountaineers would not bury the bodies of their loved ones near the mountains, because that would cause the bodies of their loved ones to be dug up and eaten by hungry beasts. In order to properly protect the remains of their loved ones, mountain dwellers would usually set up a relatively safe place to bury their loved ones.

They probably never would have thought that it would be easier for the necromancer to use this way.

On the other side, after Lei Site had asked for Wei La's opinion, he issued his last order for the day: "It's already late, everyone stay here to rest, let's set off early tomorrow morning."

This was exactly what the Mercenary wanted.

After running for two consecutive days, it would be a lie if he said that it wasn't tiring. Even if there was Fei Erde family in charge of logistics, it was impossible for a person to travel under the scorching sun for long periods of time. Furthermore, there was still three to four hours of journey to the next village.

"This journey seems too peaceful."

Thunder finally voiced out his doubts.

"Yes, it went far too smoothly."

Fan Defate, whose vigilance was as thick as a mountain, supported Thunder's words and analyzed, "Until now, we still do not know the purpose of this evil necromancer, and do not care about the anger of the world of light to harm the civilians. If it was just to create the Undead army, then that would be too far-fetched a reason. "

It was a pity that even Wei La was unable to answer Fan Defate's question.

De Ke was a bachelor, and said: "Anyways, we don't need to worry about these brain-damaged things, we just need to fight. However, we cannot give all the initiative to those vile Royal Knight and nobles. We can assign some people to stand guard and patrol. "

"Alright."

De Ke's words were true, and no one could think of a reason other than this.

It was night.

The darkness gradually expanded, first occupying the sky, then swallowing the earth. Finally, even the old, nameless tree in front of the village became indistinct.

Everything was deeply entrenched into the darkness, and all of them became prisoners. Even if a few lights in the village could not bring light to the land, under the threat of the darkness, they could only barely maintain the light of an acre and a third of the land.

There weren't many houses in the village, so it couldn't accommodate nearly a thousand people. Especially those arrogant Royal Knight s, royal Magician s, and pastor of light s; they tyrannically took up about sixty percent of the houses, and they were all of the best quality.

The remaining hundreds of Mercenary could not hold the argument and had to squeeze into a room with twenty odd people. But the houses were too limited, many Mercenary had no choice but to sleep in the horse shed, firewood shed, cellar and other simple and crude spaces, while those low level Mercenary who were not very popular had to sleep on the lawn, or even use some rags to set up a simple tent to support them for the night.

Out of habit, Thunder found a small woodshed that did not leak any air.

The difference in temperature between day and night was naturally not small since Sunset Wasteland was close to that temperature. Be it Mercenary outside or nobles enjoying themselves in the room, all of them would more or less start a bonfire to keep them warm, and naturally, Thunder was no exception.

As he looked at the sparks, the scene from before kept appearing in his mind.

Corpse Explosion.

This strange and terrifying magic was hard to guard against. If he didn't have sufficient means of defense, then that unlucky Knight of the fourth step would be his. Not only was it the Corpse Explosion Technique, the other signature evil spells of the necromancer, such as the bone lance, Bone Spirit, Puppet Technique, White Bone Prison, Dark Cloud, Aging, Chaos, Blindness, Amnesia, Death Curse, and the like, were all enough to put him to death.

The more Thunder thought about it, the more shocked he was, and the more uncertain he became. Even in Sunset Forest, he wasn't this terrified.

Crack!

The sound of burning firewood brought the thunder back to reality.

But when Thunder woke up, he suddenly smelled a faint rancid smell. This smell was like the stench of pork that had been left on the table for more than ten days. However, because of the distance, it did not seem too strong.

Where did the stench come from?

Thunder thought of a possibility and suddenly stood up.
