Chapter 68: Netherworld

  On the scene, only the victory shouts of the Royal Guards and the excited shouts of the trial team were left.

  Of course, casualties are inevitable on the battlefield. The Fiery Sun Trial Team alone had four dead and seven injured, not to mention the more than 20 people who died in the Royal Guards earlier. But compared to the death of more than a hundred nine-headed demon lions, this price is considered light.

  Adolf and Som were with the Royal Guard Captain Aoli. When talking about Sachs and Luo Dong, Aoli looked at the two with approval from time to time. Finally, he walked towards the two.

  "Hey, two excellent Fiery Sun magicians, I sincerely express my gratitude to you." Aoli said as he walked.

  "Haha, Sachs thanks the captain for his approval." Sachs immediately showed a proud smile.

  "Excuse me, little brother, what is your name, and which family are you from?" Aoli said to Luo Dong again.

  "I am a student of the Undead Department, an orphan." Luo Dong told the truth.

  "What?" Aoli stopped in astonishment, made an exaggerated and inexplicable expression to Sachs, and then his eyes revealed contempt.

  "The world is full of strange things, and it is possible that the undead system can produce a sixth-level magician." Sachs laughed, but his eyes were also contemptuous.

  Aoli seemed to have come to his senses, shook hands with Sachs wildly, and told him with a smile, as if he had met him too late, but he had already ignored Luo Dong and looked completely ignored.

  At this time, Jasmine also came over, took Sachs's hand, and talked and laughed with Aoli.

  Luodong pursed his lips, smiled bitterly, and walked away.

  He thought: You look down on undead magic so much, one day I will make you regret it.

  "By the way, Captain Aoli, we have now slaughtered nearly a hundred nine-headed magic lions and harvested a lot of magic crystal cores. Now should we camp here collectively or continue to go deep into the Warcraft Forest?" Som smiled at Aoli.

  "Of course we'll go deeper. That nine-headed lion king is not dead yet!" Aoli said.

  Som was not only stunned, but also looked at Adolf. They were both puzzled. As we all know, the nine-headed magic lion is the most intelligent and powerful magic beast. It is ferocious and cunning. As long as it wanders in the magic forest for no more than a hundred miles, it can gather another group of magic lions. Now the one escaping is the first level nine magic beast. When it gathers with another group of magic lions, it will be an extremely terrifying force. But Aoli said that he would continue to pursue.

  "Ahem... Captain Aoli, our team is here for trials, not adventures." Adolf said in silence.

  "However, our knights are here to help the third prince Philip. Our mission is to capture the magic crystal core of a king-level nine-headed lion king according to Prince Philip's requirements to cure the terminal illness of the third princess." Aoli said loudly.

  "This has nothing to do with our Lieyang Academy." Som said in a slippery voice.

  "Related, now in the name of the Red River Empire Legion, I ask you to join the hunting team until the task of 200 lion heads is completed." Aoli said in a deep voice.

  "What, I am simply speechless..." Som shook his head disapprovingly.

  "Okay, we will break up after we get the magic crystal core of this nine-headed lion king." Adolf said helplessly.

  It turned out that according to the military regulations of the Red River Empire, the Imperial Knights have the power to ask for assistance from various magic academies, and this is an order from His Royal Highness the Prince. The Knights who are carrying out the mission can force any academy magician to help.

  At this moment, a group of soldiers of the Guards Corps and the trial team gathered together, rested on the spot for a while, and then, under the leadership of Aoli, Adolf, and Som, followed the traces of the escape of the nine-headed lion king.

  Along the way, the knights of the Guards Corps got along very well with the trial students, talking about the capital's homely words with each other, and they had traveled dozens of miles while chatting and laughing.

  All the monsters of all levels encountered on the road were killed.

  At some point, the Monster Forest suddenly became dark and deep, the space ahead was becoming more and more distorted, and there was a faint phosphorescence flickering, and one could faintly smell a rotting and dead smell.

  "Captain Aoli, something seems wrong ahead, it's very dangerous." Som muttered.

  "Tsk, what's wrong, it's just a nine-headed lion king running for his life." Aoli said disapprovingly.

  "Hehe... it's the Netherworld." Adolf said coldly.

  "What, the Netherworld, you're not exaggerating." Aoli said with a breath of cold air.

  Som also changed color.

  Luo Dong even saw the classmate next to him tremble, trembling with fear.

  You might be reading a pirated copy. Look for the official release to support the author.

  "The Warcraft Forest is the most dangerous place in the Red River Empire. There are dangerous places such as the Death River and the Misty Valley. It is not strange that there is a Netherworld. However, the Netherworld is full of light and mystery. The ghoul army hidden in it is the most terrifying thing. They are numerous and not afraid of death. They can easily tear up an army. The knights led by Captain Aoli are not looking for death... If you want to go back alive and hug your wife, it's still time to return the same way now." Adolf snorted coldly.

  Aoli's face was uncertain, and then he took out a compass and said: "According to the instructions of the positioning and tracking compass, the nine-headed lion king is not far ahead, so we can't give up."

  "Then we have to face death." Adolf said.

  "But ghouls have always been scattered, and we may not encounter a pile of legions." Aoli said.

  "Humph." Adolf said coldly.

  "Actually," Sachs suddenly interrupted, "Isn't it just a savage ghoul army? We, the Sachs and Gudi family, once sniped a ghoul team and obtained more than 200 soul fires. These soul fires are the best flames for refining medicine. If they are placed on the mainland, they can easily sell for tens of millions of gold coins." "Yes, we are not afraid of ghouls." Aoli said loudly. "Hey, how many warriors did the Gudi family use and how many warriors died to kill more than 200 ghouls?" Adolf asked. "More than 300 warriors above level 6, more than 100 died." Sachs said. Adolf turned his head and said nothing, and everyone was silent. More than 300 warriors above level 6 can be said to be a powerful lineup of the Red River Empire equivalent to 100,000 troops, but it cost more than 100 warriors' lives to kill more than 200 ghouls. It can be seen that the strength of ghouls is no less terrifying than that of humans. Moreover, there are tens of thousands of ghouls in the Warcraft Forest. If you encounter a team of more than 500 ghouls, it is easy to kill them all.

  The most terrifying thing is that ghouls are not afraid of death. They have no sense of life and usually kill their enemies together.

  This is because the life of ghouls is dominated by soul fire. Their bodies are very strange, with green skin and green hair, looking like skeletons and zombies, and their body shapes are also very strange. Some can grow wings, and some have four legs, but those who look like humans are usually smarter. They are fearless when fighting, and they will never lose their lives unless their soul fire is blown up or plundered by magic.

  It is said that ghouls believe in a mysterious god called Corpse God, which can give ghouls the power of immortality. When the ghoul's soul fire is extinguished, its soul will be automatically recovered to the hands of Corpse God, and the Corpse God will put it back into the ghoul's altar and be reborn again.

  Therefore, although ghouls cannot reproduce, their number will never decrease.

  Moreover, the faith of the Corpse God can popularize tens of thousands of ghouls. As long as there is a Netherworld, a ghoul army of nearly a thousand can be derived. In the Warcraft Forest, it is said that there are more than ten Netherworlds.

  The shape of the Netherworld is very strange. Some say it is a big swamp, and some say it is a big desert. This is because the environment of the Netherworld changes with the personality of the ghouls. When the ghouls are irritable, the Netherworld will become a hot desert, and when the ghouls are thirsty for blood, the Netherworld is said to become lifeless.

  Now the situation seen by the whole team is very similar to the lifeless form.

  "If we can't get the magic crystal core of the Nine-Headed Lion King to treat the Third Princess, our Knights will be executed when we go back, and your Fiery Sun Trial Team, since you have participated, will live and die with us." Aoli said slowly.

  "So we have to go on an adventure with you." Adolf looked at Aoli coldly and said.

  "Maybe we can get some soul fire of the ghouls." Aoli said with a forced joke.

  "Don't think about it, let's just move forward. People from our Gudi family are not afraid of ghouls." Sachs said.

  Aoli turned his head to look at his knights, who looked calm, but looked at the trial students, who were a little frightened.

  "Then move forward." Aoli gave the order.

  Adolf and Som said nothing coldly, but waved their hands and led the trial students forward.

  The whole team no longer had the excitement of slaughtering the nine-headed demon lion before, and their steps became slower.

  The twisted darkness in front became more and more weird and blurred.

  Gradually, everyone went deep into a layer of damp and gloomy area, and the surrounding space seemed to become foggy, but the foggy feeling was the lifeless black airflow.

  It seems that I am lost, and it is said that the area where zombies appear is the most confusing environment, and they use this to snipe all intruders.
