"Master Felic, we really can't go on like this," Archbishop Martin said worriedly as he walked towards Lin Li. After all, he was the one who initiated the cooperation between the Rotterdam Kingdom and the Tower of Dusk. Hence, he could only be the intermediary for communication now that the two forces were obviously at odds with each other.
Lin Li was rather respectful towards Archbishop Martin. After hearing the question, he pointed to the front of the team, and said, "Archbishop Martin, do you see the place in the sky that's shrouded in shadows? According to the direction of the Undead creatures, that's probably the source of the Undead creatures. Since this world is the Immortal King's Undead laboratory, that place will probably be the key to how we can leave this place. "
"What!? Go to the source of the Undead creatures? Don't you think there aren't enough Undead creatures around you!? " Before Archbishop Martin could say anything, Kanber from the Rotterdam Kingdom could not help but exclaim.
Indeed, according to the thinking of ordinary people, in order to get out of the encirclement of the Undead creatures, they would naturally walk towards the periphery of the Undead creatures. If they were to walk towards the source of the Undead creatures, wouldn't they be walking into a trap? They would only sink deeper and deeper into the Undead creatures.
However, just like Lin Li said, this was the place where the Immortal King experimented with Necromagic, and the Undead creatures were likely created by the Immortal King. In that case, the place where the Immortal King conducted his experiments should be the source of the Undead creatures. That was the only place where they could find the information left behind by the Immortal King, and it was very likely that there would be hints to leave this world.
Just like just now, Archbishop Martin did not question Lin Li's decision at all. No matter how reluctant the people from the Rotterdam Kingdom were, they could not leave on their own. It was as if they had been kidnapped to the same boat. Hence, they had no choice but to follow obediently.
In fact, although Donald and Kanber were displeased with the situation of being kidnapped, they also knew that it was indeed the only way out for the expedition's current situation after thinking about Lin Li's opinion carefully. After all, staying in the same place seemed to be safer, but there was even less hope of leaving this place. Could they really kill all the Undead creatures?
Hence, Donald and Kanber were not determined to object to Lin Li's suggestion. Anyway, they were all in the same boat now, and if they were to die, they would all die together. However, due to the pride of the people of the Rotterdam Kingdom, they were not very willing to accept the command of an unknown person.
Fortunately, there was still Archbishop Martin, who was old and cunning. He could give the Rotterdam Kingdom a way out at the right time, so that the relationship between the team would not be too rigid.
The expedition team worked hard to push towards the source of the Undead tide. They were like a small boat going against the current. Not only were they moving extremely slowly, but they also looked like they could be overturned by a wave at any time. The members of the expedition were the elites of the three forces, and they could do whatever they wanted in Anril. However, the ones that caused them trouble were only low-level Undead creatures such as the Skeletal Warriors and Skeletal Mages.
Those strange and unusual Undead creatures had one thing in common with people, and that was that they were not afraid of death and did not know what death was at all. However, that was not a good thing for the expedition. They were fearless, agile, and had various special abilities. The resistance that these Undead creatures brought to the expedition was incomparable to the Undead creatures summoned by the Double-Realm Psychic Towers.
The members of the expedition could completely imagine that if the abnormal Undead creatures suddenly appeared in Anril, it would probably be enough to sweep through the various kingdoms and plunge the entire continent into endless darkness. At the thought of this, the members of the expedition could not help but shiver, and they could not help but wonder what the Immortal King was trying to do by creating so many Undead creatures. Could it be that he was preparing to counterattack Anril?
After all, legend had it that the Immortal King had merely gone missing, and there was no evidence to prove his death. In fact, the departure of Geresco, the God of Mages, was also linked to the disappearance of the Immortal King. It was said that the reason Geresco left Anril was likely to be to chase the Immortal King in the endless chaos of time and space.
In the previous world, there were remnants of the High Elves, and it was called the last sanctuary by the High Elves. There was also Osric, the proud disciple of the Immortal King. There was now a massive army of Undead creatures in this world that could sweep through Anril. If those two things were linked, they could not help but worry about what the Immortal King was trying to do!
Of course, for the members of the expedition, that worry did not linger in their hearts for too long. After all, their lives were still unknown, and how to survive was what was truly worth considering.
Although their own strength was one of the reasons why the expedition could last until now, the most important reason was that they had less contact with the Undead army. No matter how many Undead creatures there were, it was impossible for them to attack the expedition at the same time. The real contact was still around the team. After all, the magic used by the Skeletal Mages that attacked from a distance was still relatively low-level, and could not really threaten the expedition.
However, as the expedition advanced towards the source of the Undead creatures, they had no choice but to face an unavoidable reality.
No matter how abnormally powerful the Skeletal Warriors, Hell Ghouls, and Skeletal Mages were, they were still cannon fodder among the Undead creatures. If the expedition continued to stay in the periphery of this world, they would basically be besieged by low-level Undead creatures like the Skeletal Warriors, Hell Ghouls, and Skeletal Mages for a long time.
However, the expedition was now going in the opposite direction, and advancing towards the source of the Undead creatures. That meant that they were approaching the place behind the Skeletal Warriors, where the high-level Undead creatures were.
Although the speed of the expedition was relatively slow due to the huge resistance, they were still moving forward without stopping. Besides, due to the fact that everyone had some hope in Lin Li's suggestion, they erupted with greater power, and increased the speed of their advancement.
Originally, the high-level Undead creatures would not bother to attack the cannon fodder Undead creatures unless they were exhausted to a certain extent. However, the actions of the expedition were just like sending themselves to their doorstep.
In the beginning, everyone in the expedition could only see Skeletal Warriors and other low-level Undead creatures. Hence, no one thought about that. Lin Li had already thought of that long ago, but he did not tell the others lest they would be so frightened that they would stop and not leave.
It was only when the expedition team advanced about a kilometer in the direction of the source of the tide of Undead creatures that groups of vampires appeared. That finally made them remember that there were more than just Skeletal Warriors among the Undead creatures. In fact, even Vampires were only ranked in the middle of the Undead creatures. The more powerful ones were the Lich that had mastered the Power of Death and the terrifying Humerus Wyrms.
The groups of Vampires that flew over from afar were like dark clouds that covered the sky. There were probably tens of thousands of them. The sound of their wings flapping as they flew was continuous and seemed to fill the entire world, causing one's hair to stand on end when they heard it.
"Damn it, why are there so many Vampires!?" Everyone in the expedition couldn't help but exclaim when they saw the dark clouds approaching from afar. Even the elites who had undergone rigorous training could not hide the fear and despair in their eyes at this moment. The Vampires could not be compared to the Skeletal Warriors!
Generally speaking, Skeletal Warriors could only reach level-5 at most. Coupled with the fact that their movements were stiff and slow, and their brains were not very bright, it could be said that their combat power was very low. Even a farmer who did not know martial arts or magic would have no problem taking on a Skeletal Warrior alone as long as he was healthy and courageous enough.
Although the Skeletal Warriors of this world were far more powerful than people could imagine under the nurturing of the Immortal King, the fundamental reason why they were difficult to deal with was that their movements were almost as agile as a normal person's. In fact, the highest level of them was only level-10, and most of them were basically above level-7 or 8.
Level-10 could be said to be the limit of the Skeletal Warriors. After all, they were just skeletons that could not use magic. No matter how much they grew, it was impossible for them to break through level-10.
However, as middle-level Undead creatures, Vampires were at least level-10, and could reach the peak of level-14. Although they were limited by their own bloodline, and generally could not exceed level-15, what kind of place was this? God knew what tricks the Immortal King had done to the Vampires. Skeletal Warriors that could only reach level-5 could reach level-10, so how could the Vampires still be judged by common sense?
Although not all Vampires would be as lucky as Norfeller to be able to suck the blood of wyrms, green dragons, and Iceblast Wyrm Sindera, the Immortal King was someone who could even create a world. However, what kind of person was the Immortal King? He could even create a world. How could he not be able to solve such a small problem?
More importantly, the strength of Vampires could not be measured simply by their levels. Vampires were known as natural assassins, and the most important reason was their speed. They could truly be said to come and go like the wind, and be as fast as lightning. Besides, while they had speed, their strength was equally shocking. Their sharp claws could even tear apart sturdy steel armor.
