Chapter 264: The Existence of the Undead Knight

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Beside the tombstone was a huge stone coffin. Lin Sen guessed that Edward Augustine laid inside.

Lin Sen took out his dagger and gently cut open the lid of the stone coffin before entering it.

As he entered, the entire stone coffin began to slowly sink.

There was actually a secret room connected to the bottom of this stone coffin!

In the secret room, there were all kinds of precious treasures, including a few pieces of armor, a scepter, and a book.

Lin Sen picked up a short knife and observed it carefully. This short knife was completely green and emitted a strange fluctuation. Clearly, it was no ordinary item.

Lin Sen continued to flip through the book. There were many secrets recorded within. These were Edward Augustine’s notes. There were secrets about him.

“Edward Augustine, from the Holy See. He’s the Pope’s most favored knight and was once the deputy commander of the Knights.”

‘When he was 20 years old, Edward Augustine joined a hunting team and encountered an ambush by the Undead Knights…”

After reading the letter, Lin Sen took a deep breath. It turned out that Edward Augustine had died at the hands of an Undead Knight!

What exactly is this Undead Knight? Lin Sen frowned in confusion.

It sounds like Undead Knights are also some kind offerocious beast. Could it be one of those ghost-type ferocious beasts?

Lin Sen shook his head and stopped thinking about it. I will see it sooner or later anyway.

“The wealth left behind by Edward Augustine is quite astonishing!” Lin Sen sized up the precious items around him.

Other than some gold, silver, and jewelry, a broken token, and a small box, there were also many scrolls, techniques, and so on.

Lin Sen flipped through it carefully. Suddenly, he found a familiar pattern on a parchment scroll.

“Death Chant? Could this be magic of the Undead-type?” Lin Sen looked at it for a long time before confirming that the pattern on the sheepskin scroll was indeed the Undead magic, Death Chant.

Death Chant was a forbidden spell of the Undead element. This was a

single-target attack spell with terrifying power. It was said that even gods would be afraid of it when cultivated to perfection.

“So powerful!” Lin Sen muttered.

Death Chant was a high-level single-target spell. One had to be at least Class 6 to master such a spell.

Moreover, this Death Chant could only be learned in special environments, such as places with a rich aura of death or dark and humid environments.

Mastering it required a huge price. The price required to cast the Death Chant every time would drive Mages crazy.

However, such a thing was still too dangerous in general. Lin Sen still put it away. Unless it was really necessary, he did not want to use it.

Besides, even if he wanted to use the Death Chant, he had to prepare a suitable set of equipment first. Otherwise, if he failed to use it, he would be seriously injured or even die.

Before all that, Lin Sen still decided to save the villagers who had been bitten by the green-haired zombies.

“Let’s go quickly. The villagers won’t be able to hold on anymore. I wonder how they are doing,” Yang Wanqi urged.

Lin Sen nodded. Both of them searched for the name of the village along the way. Finally, the two of them arrived at the forest.

The trees in the forest were lush, and the sunlight could not penetrate this layer of shade.

The forest was filled with the smell of blood. Corpses laid on the ground, looking gruesome. Blood dyed the ground red.

Yang Wanqi’s face was filled with shock because she discovered that hundreds of corpses were villagers.

These corpses were scattered around the forest.

“They’re all dead,” Yang Wanqi said sadly.

“Yes, these people definitely weren’t killed by the green-haired zombie,” Lin Sen said as he glanced at the corpses on the ground.

These corpses clearly had their necks cut by sharp weapons or sharp claws. This death was the same as the wild dogs he had killed previously. Without a doubt, there was some kind of ferocious beast behind their deaths.

Yang Wanqi also noticed that before these corpses died, one of their arms had been torn off by sharp teeth.

Lin Sen remained vigilant. “Be careful. There are extremely powerful ferocious beasts nearby.”

Roar! At this moment, a loud sound came from the forest. Lin Sen immediately put Yang Wanqi into his farm space.

He then took out his bow and arrow and aimed it at a tree trunk in the distance.

Rumble!A thick old tree was directly cut in half at the waist. Then, a huge scorpion that was three meters tall rushed over.

Lin Sen released the bowstring and an arrow whistled out, shooting toward the scorpion’s head. It moved agilely and easily dodged the arrow.

Bang! Lin Sen released another arrow. Although the scorpion dodged the arrow, it still brushed past its tail.

Immediately, black smoke rose from its tail. The scorpion roared in pain.

Not only did Lin Sen’s arrow hurt the scorpion, it also made it angry.

The giant scorpion hissed and pounced fiercely at Lin Sen. Its speed was extremely fast. Almost instantly, it appeared in front of Lin Sen and raised its huge claws, wanting to slap him to death.

Lin Sen calmly took a few steps to the side and dodged the attack.

Immediately after, Lin Sen nocked an arrow with his right hand and stabbed his dagger into the scorpion’s ankle with his left hand. The scorpion stopped for a moment.

Lin Sen drew the Seven Star Sword. This giant scorpion was not weak, but it was not strong either. A Legendary V beast might be a huge problem for others, but it was nothing to him.

When the scorpion saw that this human, who was only at the Gold grade, actually dared to resist, it was furious. It roared and waved its huge pincers at Lin Sen’s head at an extremely strange speed!

Sensing the strength of the giant scorpion, Lin Sen quickly pulled out the Seven Star Sword and slashed at the pincers.

Clang! The moment the two sides met, a violent collision sound exploded. Sparks flew everywhere, and the air seemed to be filled with the sizzling sound of electricity.

Lin Sen was much stronger than an ordinary person, but this giant scorpion was not easy to deal with. The huge impact forced him to take a few steps back.

He was slightly shocked. He did not expect this giant scorpion to be so powerful. It was a little stronger than the Legendary-grade creatures he had encountered previously.

In that case, I’d better end the battle as soon as possible, Lin Sen thought. Then, he sheathed the Seven Star Sword in his hand and gathered terrifying strength in his right fist.

The source of this came from the divine power in his body.

“Power of the Dragons,” Lin Sen shouted in a low voice. All the muscles in his body bulged.

At this moment, the giant scorpion had already approached Lin Sen. Its sharp pincers clamped over again..
