Doomsday Mage Summons the Undead

Qi Lin and the three of them were walking in the desert.

The surrounding air also became somewhat distorted due to the high temperature.

Qi Lin squinted his eyes and looked ahead. Except for the sand dunes, there were still sand dunes.

The cloth on his head was blown by the strong wind. He took out the water bottle from the space ring and poured a sip of air into his mouth.

A cold feeling went down my throat.

Qi Lin wiped the corners of his mouth and asked towards the soul link: "How far is it from the Yellow Sand City now?"

"There are still eighty kilometers to go."

Before he finished speaking, the ghost boss had already given the answer.

Qi Lin looked at the sun floating in the sky, took a deep breath, and continued on his journey.

"My Emperor, there is a village ahead."

Black Wind said suddenly.

Qi Lin raised his eyebrows.

This is a village, not the gathering place we encountered before.

Most of the gathering places are temporary strongholds formed by some teams. They can change their location at any time, which is very common in the desert.

But a village means they only move around.

Qi Lin's soul came to the surrounding ghosts and flew to high altitude to observe.

There is no danger around.

"Go to the village and rest for a while."

"Yes, my emperor."

Soon, several people arrived near the village.

Qi Lin looked around the village and raised his eyebrows.

The gatehouse that should have appeared at the village chief's door now fell to the ground, and there were three big characters written on the plaque not far away.

"Desert Village."

"Heifeng, stay alert. If danger occurs, take Alice to retreat quickly."

"Yes, my emperor."

Heifeng puts his hand on the silver sword. As long as the situation in front of him is slightly wrong, the silver sword will be unsheathed immediately.

Several people walked into the village.

The village is not big, with only a dozen or so houses scattered in an orderly manner.

The yellow wall is made of a mixture of sand and mud, and some stones in the wall are vaguely visible. The doors of every house are tightly closed, and the windows are sealed by unknown means, so you can't see anything inside the house.

Several men in the village were sitting at the door of their homes, staring at Qi Lin and others with wary expressions.

Qi Lin didn't care and continued walking towards the center of the village.

A small well is located in the center of the village.

"Hey, what do you do?"

A voice suddenly came from behind Qi Lin.

Several people turned around and saw several men holding weapons in their hands and looking at them warily.

Qi Lin said calmly: "I couldn't find a place to escape the heat on the road, so I had no choice but to come here."

The man didn't seem to believe Qi Lin's words and whispered something to his companion next to him.

"Just stand here and don't move. The village chief will be here soon."

Qi Lin nodded.

Soon, a white-haired old man walked up to several people with a cane and a trembling step.

"You are?"

The village chief said with confusion.

Qi Lin said calmly: "Old man, the journey is long. We want to rest here for a while before continuing on the road. There is no place to rest around."

The village chief stroked his beard and nodded: "Okay, there is only one rule in our desert village. You are not allowed to walk around after dark. If you want to stay here overnight, you also need to abide by the rules."

Qi Lin nodded.

Then the village chief walked around Qi Lin and walked towards the well, with a trace of regret on his face: "It's a pity that our well dried up completely just a few days ago. Now that there is no water, we have to leave."

Qi Lin stepped forward and looked towards the well. Some yellow sand could be faintly seen at the bottom of the well, which was not deep. The gravel was golden and not wet at all.

He raised his eyebrows. This seemed to be a little different from what the village chief said.

There was also an explosion in the Ghost School.

"The yellow sand at the bottom of the well can reach this state only after a period of time. According to what he said, these gravels should be relatively moist, darker in color, and irregularly elliptical in shape. shape."

The second child immediately analyzed.

"I agree."

"And I don't know if you have noticed it, but there seems to be something different about the village chief in front of the owner. His left foot has never been raised a few centimeters from the ground, and he is almost touching the ground when walking."

Qi Lin listened to the analysis in the ghost school and looked at the village chief in front of him, with ripples in his heart.

At present, there seems to be something evil here.

However, Qi Lin didn't want to continue to delve deeper. He just rested here for a short time.

Qi Lin found a sunny place, set up the tent, and began to rest.

at the same time.

This strange desert village seemed to burst into life, with children playing around Qi Lin.

Not long after, several women came around Qi Lin.

He came to Qi Lin with all kinds of food in his hands and said, "You haven't eaten yet? I made some more today, so I'll give it to you."

Qi Lin raised his eyebrows.

He stood up and took the food brought by several women: "Thank you very much."

The woman seemed to be slow to respond. She hesitated for a long time before saying, "You're welcome."

Then he walked towards the village almost without lifting his legs.

Qi Lin looked at the delicious food on the plate and put it aside.

Although Alice was doubtful, she did not speak.

Whatever adults do is right.

Several children were playing with the sand nearby, looking at Qi Lin from time to time.

Time flew by.

Qi Lin and others were also ready to continue on their way, but at this moment, the former village chief hurriedly came from a distance.

"Everyone, stay."

"That's it. Everyone, I want to hire you to be my guards for a day. A group of bandits came a few days ago and asked us to provide them with food and money."

As the village chief spoke, a trace of anger appeared on his face.

He continued: "We would rather die than obey. These bandits robbed several of our villagers and then left. They also said that they would come back in three days."

"It's the third day now, so I want to ask you to be the protector of our village. It only takes one day. These things will be regarded as our reward for you."

The village chief waved behind him.

Several strong men appeared in front of Qi Lin carrying a large box covered with steel nails. The treasure box was extremely heavy, and their palms were somewhat deformed due to the pressure, but they seemed not to feel it, and there was no expression on their faces. .

The box burst open.

The shiny gold coins were a bit dazzling.

Detection skills are activated.

Qi Lin looked at the densely packed panels in front of him and raised his eyebrows.

The quality that appears most on the panel is the soul level, which is extremely numerous.

All other potion materials are also available, and the number of red-blooded bones has reached more than twenty, which is indistinguishable from Ivan's treasure house.

The village chief immediately struck while the iron was hot: "How about it? Are these things okay? As long as you agree to this task, everything in this box will belong to you."

Qi Lin thought secretly.

Although these people in front of me are a bit strange, they can even be described as weird.

But these things, especially the red-blooded desolate bones, are what he needs most.

If danger occurs, the worst possible outcome is for Black Wind to take Alice to retreat.

Qi Lin nodded towards the village chief.

There was some unusual fanaticism in the village chief's eyes, and he said happily: "Okay, then, there is an empty house over there, so don't sleep in a tent here."

Qi Lin did not refuse and followed the village chief to a house that was completely black.

The village chief stepped forward and slowly pushed open the small wooden door.

The room was covered with dust, and it had obviously been unoccupied for a long time.

The village chief said apologetically: "I will wrong you today, and I will trouble you in the evening. I have something else to do, so I will leave first."

Qi Lin briefly cleaned the room, sat on a wooden chair, closed his eyes and rested.

The consciousness shifted to the ghost, observing the village.

The ghost passed through the wall, and Qi Lin was startled by the scene in front of him.

There were dark brown tree roots growing all over the room. The woman he saw during the day was like an empty shell, standing there with her head lowered.

The roots of the tree were connected from the soles of her feet, and the same was true when she looked at the other people in the room.

Qi Lin controlled the ghost to float forward.

The scene in the room is so weird.

The thick tree roots moved from time to time, and the empty shell of the woman in front of her suddenly raised her head, and the whites of her eyes occupied the entire eye socket.

The mouth opened suddenly and stiffly, and a small root deep in the throat was trembling rapidly.

A noisy sound came from the room.

Qi Lin observed secretly.

The situation before him was something he had never encountered before.

A demon that can control corpses?

He controlled the ghosts to fly to other rooms, including the men, women, and children he had seen before.

An empty shell, controlled only by tree roots.

Qi Lin suddenly thought of the village chief.

The ghost immediately searched the room. Not long after, in a room, the village chief knelt on the ground piously and murmured: "New food, new food..."

In the room, a huge tree trunk is rooted in the desert.

Detection skills are activated.

Tree root control: Use tree roots to control corpses. Depending on the improvement of mental power, multiple corpses can be controlled.

Escape: The magic vine will remove most of its roots and move its location to a certain tree root.

Just as Qi Lin expected.

There were many bones in armor stacked in the room. They were obviously from a passing expedition team like Qi Lin.

He remembered the treasure box that the village chief had asked him to carry out.

The things inside must have been obtained from these people, right?

Qi Lin did not alert the snake. If he did not kill the demonic vine, he would not only let it run away, but he would also not gain any experience.

It's better to wait until night to see what this demon wants to do.

Time flies by like a white horse.

The evening came quietly, and there was a knock on the door.

Heifeng stepped forward and opened the door, and the two women said hoarsely: "This is dinner."

Qi Lin controlled Black Wind and looked at the two empty shells in front of him.

In order to cover the whites of her eyes, she wore a headscarf even at night. The woman stood there numbly, as if waiting for Qi Lin to finish the meal.

Qi Lin controlled Hei Feng and said, "We ate too much at lunch and we are not hungry now."

The woman calmed down for a while and then replied: "Okay, then I won't bother you."

After sending away the two empty shells, close the door.

"Master, there are several empty shells of children outside the door."

Qi Lin said in the soul link: "All the ghosts around are monitoring the actions of the magic vine."

"Yes, Master."

Qi Lin lay on the bed and chose to wait and see.

Soon, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came.

"Master, there is an expedition team heading here."

Qi Lin's consciousness came.

Directly in the south, an expedition team was traveling at full speed with torches.

Qi Lin's consciousness shifted again.

"Captain, are you really sure you can take down that demon species this time?"

"Of course, this is not my problem alone, it is also a problem shared by other team members."

The person who asked the question then added an explanation.

The man at the front looked thoughtfully into the distance, with a ruthless expression on his face.

"You won't know until you get this question. Ed, do you know why we have to do it again?"

Ide nodded heavily and pulled up his sleeves. A dark brown seed on his left arm took root in his skin. The surrounding skin was shriveled and old, and blood vessels suddenly burst out.

The captain's eyes widened immediately. Ide smiled and said, "At that time, many people in the team were tricked. I didn't want other team members to know about it. At least I gave them a little hope."

The captain nodded heavily: "I asked many alchemists and they didn't have any way to eliminate seed parasitism, but they did mention a guess."

"Killing the demon species may relieve the parasitic state."

Qi Lin heard every word clearly.

It seems that there is no need to do it yourself.

At this time, the magic vine controlled the empty shells of the villagers and slapped the door of Qi Lin's house.

"Come out, come out quickly, the robbers are coming."

"The robbers are coming, the robbers are coming."

The uniform knocking on the door mixed with the weird tone made people shudder.

The village chief's voice was also mixed in: "Come out quickly, I gave you so many things to help protect the village, what's the point of hiding inside now?"

Qi Lin raised his eyebrows but did not answer.

The expedition team is coming at full speed. After the last failure, they have already summed up a lot of experience.

"As soon as you reach the target location, use fire to repel the attack of the tree roots and rescue the villagers controlled by the magic vines."

"Yes, Captain!"

The team members behind them shouted.

When Qi Lin heard this, he immediately raised his eyebrows.

Obviously, he didn't know the specific abilities of the magic vine.

The villagers he thought were dead long ago, but the tree roots were controlling the movements of the corpses.

The sound of horse hooves gradually got closer and closer, and the sound of banging on the door gradually disappeared.

"Captain, there seems to be someone there!"

The team members looked at the firelight in Qi Lin's room and frowned.

"Brother, come out quickly, I am not a robber, this is the territory of the demon species!" (End of Chapter)
