1392 Undead Storm
Fang Heng looked in the direction of the voice and saw a young woman peeking out of the carriage window.
Elisa looked very young. She had a round baby face and looked cheerful. She waved at Fang Heng in a friendly manner.
Undead storm? What the hell was that?
Seeing the confusion on Fang Heng’s face, the old man Herta explained, “This is Miss Elisa from our family’s branch. She will be accompanying our Chamber of Commerce to the city ahead. Don’t look at how young our Miss is. She was already a middle-tier necromancer three years ago. This time, she is going to Catantul to study and prepare for the assessment of the high-tier necromancy mage in a year.”
“You can enter Catantul through the teleportation passage there. Traveler, the undead storm is coming soon. If you don’t mind, come with us. One more person means one more strength.”
Fang Heng raised his eyebrows and agreed, “Yes!”
The undead storm sounded very dangerous.
He had just arrived in a new world, and the situation was still unclear. It was better to mingle with this group of people and ask about the general situation of the world.
Fang Heng glanced at Elisa.
A middle-tier necromancy scholar
She was one level higher than him.
There were so many of them, and there were even mid-tier necromancy mages among them, yet they were so afraid of an undead storm.
It was better to be careful.
After the elder Herta called out to Fang Heng, he commanded the team to gather in the center. The undead guards gradually gathered into a circle.
The black-robed necromancers in the team took out their Book of the Dead.
“Chi! Chi chi chi!!!”
Walls of white bones rose from the ground.
Fang Heng couldn’t help either, so he just stood by the side of the carriage and watched.
Good heavens, almost everyone in the team could skillfully use the Book of the Dead.
Everyone used necromancy to summon a bone barrier, and soon, a huge barrier was built around them.
It was like a cage, locking everyone in the middle.
Seeing that everyone had made such a big array, Fang Heng could not help but feel curious.
Was this all done to resist the undead storm?
Boom!!
He poured his mental strength into it, and the flame rose with a bang!
The necromancers ignited their soul fire.
Everyone held their breaths and focused, guarding the soul fire, quietly waiting for the arrival of the undead storm.
The atmosphere was tense.
Fang Heng saw that everyone was extremely cautious and vigilant. He could not help but ask,” What exactly is the undead storm?”
Herta replied in a deep voice, “The undead storm is a kind of harsh storm that Punoze will encounter. The storm carries the power of the ghosts. Anyone who falls into the range of the storm will feel extremely cold and easily suffer from soul frostbite.”
“The soul fire can help us resist this frostbite.”
Elisa explained, “We still don’t understand the origin and function of the undead storm. What’s terrifying is that the souls of all the creatures who die in the storm will be enslaved by the undead storm. The enslaved undead will devour each other, which greatly increases the power of the undead storm to a certain extent.”
“Apart from the main city, most of Punoze is barren land. The undead storm wreaks havoc in the barren land, causing great inconvenience to travelers.”
“Whoosh! Swoosh swoosh!!”
As he spoke, the sound of collisions could be heard outside the barrier.
It was as if something was constantly scraping against the Wall of Bones in the outside world.
Fortunately, the Wall of Bones was exceptionally strong.
As time passed, the soul fire in the center of the crowd gradually wavered.
Herta narrowed his eyes and stared at the soul fire in the center. He reminded them, “It’s not good. We might have encountered a high-tier resentful creature. Everyone, get ready for battle.”
“Boom!”
As soon as he finished speaking, a violent explosion sounded!
The white bone wall on Fang Heng’s right exploded. He immediately looked up at the sky, and his pupils constricted.
What was that?!
A huge human-faced shadow pressed down from the sky!
“High-tier resentful object! Be careful!” Herta saw this and shouted, “I’ll deal with it! Immediately activate the soul fire with all your strength!”
“Boom!”
The necromancers gathered around the central flame injected their mental strength into it, and the soul fire erupted again!
The huge face seemed to be afraid of the soul fire.
Almost at the same time, Elisa activated the Book of the Dead floating in front of her!
“Whoosh! Swoosh!”
The chains materialized from the dark aura shot out of the Book of the Dead and into the air, piercing into the huge human face.
“Phew!!”
The giant human-faced phantom was controlled.
“Kaka! Crack!!”
Herta held a black rune long sword in his hand and stepped forward along the materialized black iron chain. He slashed at the face in the air!
“Chi!”
“Roar!!!”
The long sword drew a long wound on the human face. The shadow let out a howl at the same time, and then slowly reformed.
“Phew! Hu!!!”
A black sandstorm flew in from outside the Wall of Bones, and Fang Heng instantly felt a cold aura assaulting him.
[Hint: The player has received environmental damage, and HP decreased by 441 points.]
Fang Heng stared at the illusory face in the air that was looking down.
It was an undead phantom that he had never seen before.
It seemed that Herta and Elisa could only temporarily restrain it.
It looked like the human face was an undead creature.
Could he kill it with the Book of Oath?
Fang Heng had to consider the risks.
Could the power of the Holy Light possibly attract more undead lifeforms in the undead storm?
Just as Fang Heng was hesitating, he heard a young necromancy attendant say loudly, “Friend, come and help!”
Turning his head, Fang Heng saw sweat dripping from the forehead of the necromancy attendant beside him.
“Hurry up! Help!”
Almost all the necromancers were pouring their spiritual power into the central soul fire.
They looked like they were having a hard time. It was obvious that they could not hold on any longer.
Fang Heng frowned and followed suit, pressing his hand against the fire.
“Huu!!”
The moment Fang Heng reached out his hand to trigger the soul fire, the central soul fire suddenly erupted!
The flames suddenly rose tens of meters high!
The giant human face that was originally lying on the hole in the Wall of Bones let out a crazy howl under the illumination of the soul fire. It quickly fell back as if it had been seriously injured, but it was firmly locked by the black iron chain that Elisa had pierced into its body!
What?
Everyone turned to look at Fang Heng.
Who was he?
What a powerful soul power!
Fang Heng was also shocked.
He didn’t seem to have done anything. He reached out and touched the magic array that condensed the soul fire. He had only used a little bit of his mental strength just now, but it had caused such a huge damage?
