Chapter 41 Chapter 36 Meet in the Valley of the Undead

At this time, Kant and Bai Ya were camping in the dark underground. "It's really lucky. We walked for half a month, but we didn't meet the undead." Bai Ya said, "Maybe the underground is too big, and they didn't notice this road." "What's so scary about the undead?" Kavna said, "Maybe they will feel kind when they see our leader." "Can't you shut up a few of your mouths? Stop talking nonsense! I don't want to see your friends at all!" "I don't want to see you yet! When you wake up tomorrow morning, you'll never see me again!"

"Kavna, you've said that three hundred times, can't you come up with some innovative threats?" Mughal said. "Stinky head, I'll bite you!" Bai Ya has seen too many quarrels between the knight and his equipment and luggage these days. The little girl yawned and curled up on the ground to sleep. Kant stopped the talkative snake demon and the head, and gently put the silver moonlight banner - the only thing they could cover - on the little girl. The fire is flickering, maybe the undead will not come tonight, but the future is destined to be full of fear and danger, how precious it is to have time to have a sweet dream.

"Yundi..." Kant looked at the girl, but read out another name in a daze, "I came into the darkness, did I do something wrong or right?" "No!" Yundi woke up in a nightmare, covered in cold sweat, and muttered, "Kant, don't give up...don't..." What a terrible nightmare, Kant was hanging on the edge of the cliff and struggling, and he held his hand tightly. "Yundi, I can't hold on anymore...I'm too tired...Can you forgive my decision..." That face looked up at her, under the torment of pain, when the will finally collapsed, the young and handsome face was drying up quickly, only the eyes were still shining.

His voice became more and more distant: "Forget the paladins, the darkness is calling me, let me go, let me go to the land where there is no pain..." "No, Kant, don't give up... Kant..." Tears dripped into the abyss, what was tightly held by his hands gradually turned into nothingness, and the flash of Kant's eyes was getting farther and farther away from her.He sank slowly into the darkness, and in the abyss, the flowing fire was laughing wildly like a huge monster. "Kant!" She woke up with a start, and the iron chain was locking her body. It was not Kant who was in the abyss, but herself.With no windows and no light, she has become the eternal slave of the ghast.

The screams came from the distant stratum. It was the flesh and blood spirits who were being tormented by the evil spirits. They would be deprived of their will, leaving only the hatred and resentment after the extreme pain, and become the servants of the devil. Soon, this torture will befall her head.She can't save Kant, who can save her. "Did you hear any sound?" Mughal asked in the dark underground. It sounds like the peeling of stones on the cave wall, or the sound of bones colliding with the ground. "It's them! They're here..." Bai Ya shouted in horror.

At some point, beside them, the top of their heads, bones and zombies crawled over while clinging to the cave wall. "The bones themselves would not act in such an organized way, someone must be manipulating them." Mughal said, and began to meditate on a spell.After a while, in the darkness, something appeared faintly. Bai Ya leaned closer to Kant even more fearfully. Kant thought, what would happen to this girl if she knew that she was only relying on an undead? The misty soul in the darkness made a vague voice. He had no mouth, and the voice was sent directly to the human mind by magic.

"It seems to be of the same family with a dark atmosphere, with a girl with flesh and blood. I like her body, and it can be made into a very good resentful monster." "Boss, don't annoy him," Mughal also said in Kant's mind with induction magic. I'll answer him." So Mughal responded: "Yes, this girl is my best prey, and we are going back to my underground palace." "Leave this girl as a gift for you passing through my land. I haven't caught a life in days." "Come on, I still want to be your friend." "The undead have no friends. You make me wonder!"

"Boss, maybe we should follow him first." Mughal asked Kant quietly, "The necromancers collect living people, maybe there will be Yundi's whereabouts." "Okay," he said to the ghost mage, "but I also want to follow you to the underground palace, and I want to learn your production process with my own eyes." "Very good. Come with me." The words of the Ghast Mage are always rare. In the underground valley of the dead This is an underground prison where countless wraiths are screaming. Shadows of demons flash across the stone walls. Blood seeps out from the cracks in the stones. People with flesh and blood are turned into demons here.

Necromancer Zigu grinned grinningly in his soul laboratory, and he whispered a sentence in the ears of each of his tortured victims: "Pain is power." You don't lose your life, you just turn into a hateful and bloodthirsty demon. "Please enjoy it, I am about to make a proud work." He said to Kant and Mughal, "This is one of my collections." Two zombie monsters walked into a prison room sealed by magic fire, dragged out a human woman with iron chains, and dragged her to the end of the corridor, where the screams came from. Seeing the woman being dragged in, he gleamed blue light even more proudly.This is a human mage, her holy spells are of a very high level, and her young body is full of San Huali, so that she will be more painful when she is tortured, and the finished product will be better.

In order to earnestly complete his painful art, Zigu condensed his body, changed from a cloud of blue mist into a floating human figure, and came to the side of the female mage. "Why don't you use magic to resist? I'll stand in front of you and use your magic to attack me." Zigu said, he hoped to stimulate the greatest holy power of this spirit base so that he could use the collision of darkness and light Bring the pain to its peak. Yundi raised her head, she described it as thin, weak and haggard, only her eyes were shining.The fire of life was still burning in her body.

"Thanks to your care, I survive in nightmares every day... Yesterday, I had the scariest dream in my life. I dreamed that the pillar of my life was broken, and he finally fell into darkness. The world lost hope, and there was no more hope." Vitality and meaning... This is also your vicious trick to destroy my will... But you shouldn't, you shouldn't hurt him in your dream, you shouldn't use such a dream to irritate me!" The holy power of the female mage suddenly rose, and the holy light of vitality that only the undead could see pushed Zigu away. Her hand was raised suddenly, and a powerful lightning bolt hit the undead.Zigu screamed and emitted blue smoke, his face was distorted into a demon and a monster due to pain, and the two zombie monsters next to him turned into burning charcoal just because the lightning passed by them. Yundi struggled to pull on the iron chain. She knew that she could not escape in this prison, so she did not back down, and cast one spell after another at the necromancer. The undead dodged left and right in the small room, and was hit several times screamed. But the screams gradually turned into smirks, and Zigu looked at the female mage who was panting because her magic power was exhausted, "Very well, now your San Huali is at its peak, and the time I have been waiting for has come." Yundi suddenly saw the iron chain flying forward automatically, dragging her onto the execution platform, the fire was burning under her body, and above her head, the gate of purgatory was opening, countless demons rushed out screaming, biting looking at her body... Suddenly Zigu's eyes went dark, Moghul launched a magic attack on him, and Kavna also rushed to the execution platform, trying to drag Yundi down. But all this was in vain, Zigu was much stronger than them, Kavna was soon trapped in the middle by the surrounding bone wall, sharp bone spurs pierced its body, and Mughal was trapped by Zigu's soul The spell hit him so hard that he didn't even know his last name. Zigu forced Kant: "How about it, outsider, I know you want to seize my collection, which is too common among ghost mages. It's a pity that you challenged me out of your own strength. Now, even you will become Be my slave." Kant sighed: "You are wrong." He only said these three words, and the valley of the undead suddenly turned into a sea of ​​flames. In the middle of the fire, a figure came quietly, and wherever he went, the flames retreated tamely.He gently put Yundi under his feet, with Kafuna and Baiya beside him. "Who is this person?" Bai Ya asked. "Is she the one who will kill me in the future?" "I don't understand... Besides, I didn't expect you to have such a strong power." "This power doesn't belong to me, I, and it doesn't belong to me anymore." This person knew in his heart that when he used this power once, the will of the devil king would invade his body.He can feel that he is changing, his heart is like a piece of iron that is congealing, perhaps, it will eventually become cold, and there will be no more feelings. It turns out that even if people know their fate, they have no choice. The water flowed through the wet and moldy stone wall, and the statue half-buried in the soil sank into the underground castle holding the candlesticks that had already been filled with soil.Someone's footsteps stepped in. He walked through the stone corridor where the dome was pierced by sharp stones, and waded through the pond where huge aquatic plants climbed up the chandelier. The castle was full of damp life, and there were always strange sounds Growl behind the wall.This is an underground city. After the demons abandoned it, the evil vitality has not stopped growing for a day, overflowing the entire underground space. "What are you still hesitating about? Become the devil king." Kavna said, "How exciting, you will become a person who can change the world, and how many people will be afraid when they hear your name." Along the way, its The nine mouths spoke in turn. "But that's not me, and there won't be any more happiness. The whole world is your enemy." "Come on, you can't even survive holding on to your so-called insistence. You rescued your beauty, but can you take her out of the ground?" Mughal said with a sneer. Kant looked at the unconscious Yundi.Ever since she was rescued from the execution platform, she has been struggling in lethargy and nightmares. When she was not conscious, the spell of the ghast also destroyed her face, making her shriveled and shriveled like a dried fruit . But Bai Ya came over from another place, holding up a broken copper cup she found: "Give her some water. Maybe it will be better." "Don't you hate her for being a human race?" "Hate? In such a place? Between the few of us? No." Bai Ya smiled, "Don't have any more hatred, I've seen too much... Uh, I'll go and see what I can find ? Now there is one more person, and there is not enough dry food." Bai Ya didn't know the secret about the Demon King.Otherwise, she would hate it too.Kant thought.Even if I should go to my destiny and be defeated as an evil demon, she shouldn't.She has such an innocent smile, she should smile like that forever. However, the nagging of Kavna and Mughal in his head has not stopped. "Hey, I can't wait to become a follower of the Demon King. Haven't you already given up your ideal of becoming a paladin? Then, what are you afraid of? Isn't it natural for an undead knight to command an army of monsters?" "Wait a minute," said the head in the backpack, "who said he can command these monsters? He doesn't know any dark manipulation and exorcism skills, and he is far from becoming a real undead knight. But we still have time, as long as you give me three months, I will be a very good teacher..." "Okay, that's enough! Ladies and gentlemen! I may pat a nightmare beast on the head, but I never want to learn a dark or death-based magic, skill, nothing! I have never been born Up to now, I have never thought about being a necromancer or knight, or controlling some monsters, that is what I hate the most..." "The most disgusting? Including Hydra Kavna?" Kavna was irritated, "Yes... Your ideal is to become a paladin, to rescue the princess captured by the devil, and then have a big baby A bunch of little paladins...but...what kind of princess would take a fancy to you? A guy who stinks everywhere but a great heart?" "Leave him alone, let him die," said the head angrily, "we have been following him at risk, he thought we were going to push him to hell. Well, Mr. Kant, you are not careful with your friends, we have been leading You go into the dark, so what are you waiting for? Leave us! Go away, go as far as you can, go find your beautiful girl, why stay with ten ugly heads?" "Ten ugly heads? Where are they? I only saw one!" Hydra smiled and went to the top of the bag, and the head immediately begged for mercy. "Oh, maybe..." Kant sighed, "I don't belong to your world..." "It's your heart that is still resisting, your body is already qualified!" the head said. "Who told me that I was born in an ordinary town, a human race who grew up listening to stories about knights and was full of fantasies? If I was born in darkness like you, I wouldn't feel uncomfortable gone." The three of them were silent. They stood quietly in the darkness, listening to the ubiquitous neighing of monsters and the rattling and growing of magic vines. "I think you don't need us anymore." Finally, Kavna said sadly, "Where are you going in the future?" "I want to...go to the Forest of Elves. I heard that the elf mages there have excellent medical skills and may be able to heal Yundi and me." "Bless you, then goodbye, that's the place we can't go, if it falls into the hands of the elf mage, Kavna and I will die very badly." Moghul the head said. "Then you... are you going to stay here like this?" "This is our destination, isn't it? We may stay here for the rest of our lives, hoping that no one will ever disturb you. Goodbye, I wish you the best of luck, and recover your body as soon as possible, really." Kavna also said Say. After another long silence, Kant finally put the backpack on the ground and untied it. "Kavna, take good care of this broken head, don't push him up and down..." "Don't be sad, I can find a good enough body as soon as you leave..." Mughal yelled, "By the way, you really don't want me to help you change a body? One with wings, or one that can The one who jumped on the big tree..." "No... I don't think I'll get used to another body... That's it, bye." "Will you come to see us if there is a chance?" Kavna asked, with eighteen pairs of eyes shining with nostalgia. "I think……" "No, don't come again! Once you regain your human body and have the breath of blood again, you will be torn into pieces as soon as you arrive here, and Kavna can't help but rush at you at that time, not because of welcome ...So, never come back...understand?" said the head. "Stinky head, you are different from the master you grew up on, really." "Do you think I'm going to cry, get out...damn, don't let me see you again..." the head cursed. "Okay, goodbye, brothers." Kant turned and climbed up the slope. Hydra and Mughal watch this undead, or this person walks away. "What an incomprehensible guy . . . it's weird that we can get so sentimental," Kavner said. "So, in the future, we should spend less time with humans, especially this kind of people!" Mughal rolled on the ground and walked away, "I can live more comfortably without him... Hey!" "Stay in that ditch, I won't save you." Kavna looked at him with one head, and the other eight looked in Kant's direction. "In the future, it will be very boring underground..." With Yundi on his back, Kant went to look for Bai Ya who hadn't returned for a long time. After searching for a long time, he saw Bai Ya sitting alone in a corner of the abandoned city, motionless. "What's wrong with you?" Kant put down Yundi and came behind her. "It's nothing." Bai Ya stood up and wiped away her tears, "I just suddenly felt...the underground is too quiet, and people don't know where to go. I'm lost...I feel like I'm the only one left in the world. " "Yes. Baiya, I'm also afraid of this feeling. Unfortunately, I can't let my friends be with me. I don't know when I will hurt them." "Kant...you won't leave me, will you?" "I... I'm not someone you can rely on." "But I have no one else." Yundi on the ground whispered: "Kant..." "You are still happy, at least someone in this world will call your name in your dreams..." Bai Ya lowered her head. "Everything is not as you imagined. We are just leaves that are pushed together by the river of fate and cannot be separated." The underground is so quiet, it's so quiet that it makes people crazy. Suddenly, a human voice came from afar.Bai Ya jumped up and ran forward. Kant followed closely, and they ran out of a door, and their eyes suddenly opened up.They were actually standing on a protruding rock of an underground mountain wall, like a terrace.This place turned out to be one of the exits of the dungeon. Just below the mountain, a group of people were rushing here. They were wearing messy clothes, and they were a group of demon civilians.Behind them, some men raised their weapons and guarded them.Half a mile away, a terrible scene appeared, a gray-white line was coming like a tide, it was an army of white bones! "Kant..." Bai Ya turned around, almost crying out of anxiety, "Please help them!" "No, I can't use that power...that would make me..." "You're not going to watch them die, are you?" "But... the day your people rush to the ground is the day the war on the land begins." Bai Ya backed away in surprise: "So, do you want us all to die underground? Well..." She turned her head, "Thank you for taking care of me for so long...I'm going back to them now , as you wish, you can watch how your enemies are killed." Kant stopped talking, he didn't know what else he could do.Why should these matters be decided by him?The two souls in the body are at war, why is there an unchoiceable choice?He felt like he was about to suffocate, and something rushed up and strangled him by the throat, although he hadn't breathed for a long time. "No! No! I don't want to take it all, I can't take it." Bai Ya watched in surprise as his voice became like the roar of a wild animal, the pain was devouring his heart.The poor fellow staggered toward the depths of the city.Bai Ya wanted to catch up, but he disappeared as if wrapped in darkness. The hydra demon Kavna was bullying the head for fun, pushing him up and down with nine heads, but saw Kant running back. "Ah, no... I didn't play tricks on him, I will be nice to him..." Kavna was a little panicked after being found out for doing something bad. Kant stopped: "Mugul, you know how to control the undead, right?" "The method?" Mughal said in disbelief, "I don't even remember what I am." At this time, the group of Idel people leaned against the mountain wall with their backs, only a few climbed up the steep cliff, and the army of undead behind them was approaching.They could see the black sockets of the skeleton's eyes, the children began to cry, and the men rushed forward, roaring and fighting desperately.But suddenly everything stopped, the huge cracking footsteps of the bone formation suddenly disappeared, and the skeleton stopped, standing there dumbfounded. A girl shouted happily from above them: "Don't move! Kant, you did it, you did it!" Bai Ya turned her head, wanting to pounce on Kant and hug him.But Kant suddenly turned around and ran in the same direction. He didn't know how far he ran, but he felt dizzy and fell to the ground. Is evil eating itself?Is this the price of using the power of the Demon King?He just wants to destroy everything now.Everything, everything that made him suffer. Pain is power. Pain is power... When Kant was in a daze, he kept chanting this sentence.When he felt that his soul was going to drift away again, he had no choice but to recite these words hard to maintain his weak spirit. This was what the old pastor said in his ear. He didn't quite understand the meaning of this sentence, but whenever he fell into the torment of hell physically and mentally, he would unconsciously say this sentence. The undead do not feel the pain of the body. Kant's pain is special, maybe it belongs to him alone. It is the pain of feeling that the darkness is snatching away his soul, and the soul is being torn out from the body.Normal people don’t feel this, because after physical pain, the soul no longer belongs to them, or returns to heaven, or sinks into hell, but Kant is different, he can always feel two forces competing for himself, the kind of tearing The feeling of heartbreak is a thousand times worse than physical pain.As long as you give up for a moment, you will fall into darkness forever.In the nightmare of coma, he could clearly see the hell under his feet opening its mouth of fire, and the huge thunder was beating his body. He could only hold on to something, like a hand in nothingness. Kant gradually saw who that hand belonged to, and who was struggling to hold him on the edge of the cliff. ... Kant opened his eyes, the pain was receding, and he stayed in this world again. Every pain of death makes him more conscious and more determined. He opened his eyes, and in front of him, next to a huge magic tree with its branches piercing into the soil above, Kant found a familiar old man. The old pastor seemed to have injured his leg. He leaned against the huge tree root and looked at Kant with a smile that was still so generous and innocent. "Who the hell are you? A god? But you always deceive me, and you deceive many people to show him the vision of the future, and then let him become a future paladin." "What should I do?" The old pastor smiled. "My previous fish has been unhooked, and I have to catch another one." "Who are you?" "Perhaps, you can think of me as an astrologer, a songwriter. I like to guide people's destiny." "What will be my fate? Will I become a demon king?" "I will help you, I will help you suppress the devil in your body, but, as your reward for me, I want you to go back." "go back?" "Yes, go back to the destiny you escaped, and be that paladin." "A dark, corrupt paladin who can't even show his face?" "You naively thought you could run away? No, you're going to decide other people's fate. When you hold theirs, you hold your own. You always run away, you're so cowardly. The demons are about to rush out of the ground, you have to hurry up and condense the power on the ground." "You think I should use that power?" "No, I will give you new power so that you can overcome everything. This will help you restrain the will of the devil in your body." "What is it? A divine army of angels?" "No... your body cannot command any warriors of light, there is only one army at your disposal, and they are like you." "No! I will not use the evil army." "Evil?" The old fortune-teller approached him, "There is only one way to prove your integrity, and that is... to destroy the demons. If the demons are eliminated, the will of the demon king will naturally collapse. In order to achieve this goal, you No matter what method you use, it is just, and with the permission of the Lord, you will always be—a paladin of heroes.”
