The restless undead army suddenly quieted down. Everyone was confused. Lan Bing also stopped talking to Evil Wind and looked outside.
"They're here." Dong Yu's voice was exceptionally clear.
Everyone looked over with a strange expression. What's coming?
The man was wrapped in a black robe. He was sitting on the ground without a care for his image. A little girl was leaning against him. He looked like a powerful guardian.
However, no one paid any attention to the man. They were attracted by the undead's movements.
The undead army that had surrounded them parted like the tide, respectfully opening up a path for a tall undead to walk over.
Its body was at least twice the size of a normal undead.
"Undead King! It's the Undead King! "someone in the crowd exclaimed.
"What? Why is the Undead King here? "
"Impossible, how can there be an Undead King here?"
Some people were unwilling to face the truth and denied it. It couldn't be the Undead King.
If the Undead King showed up, they would be dead for sure!
However, reality told them that this was the Undead King.
The Undead King was already close. It stopped about ten feet away from the barrier and looked down at the sorcerers. It didn't have eyes, but everyone could feel a sense of pressure from its white eye sockets.
"What do we do … what does it want?"
"It hasn't attacked us yet. Don't panic. It must be up to something."
"How can we not panic? This is the Undead King, not something else!"
"That's right, the Undead King balabala …"
It was good that someone had seen the Undead King before, because most of them had died. Those who were lucky enough to survive were also scared out of their wits. Now, these people were like birds trapped in a cage, looking at the hunters outside who could break their necks at any time in fear.
The Undead King's gaze swept across the crowd and landed on Lan Bing. Everyone's gaze drifted over. What was the meaning of this?
Lan Bing felt a chill run down her spine when the Undead King stared at her.
"Her." The Undead King pointed at Lan Bing and said in human language, "Her, in exchange for your lives."
Shi Sheng who was suddenly pointed at: "…" What the f * ck?
What's the point of this?
What the f * ck are you talking about?!
Just follow the script. Don't think about I. I don't want to steal the spotlight from the female lead.
Everyone did not even dare to breathe loudly as they communicated with their eyes.
Shi Sheng could understand it. She had the Undead Magic Staff. The Undead Magic Staff originally belonged to the Undead. It was normal for the Undead King to want it back.
But the other Mage … Why did the Undead King specifically ask for him?
Everyone couldn't help but look at Lan Bing. They were probably trying to figure out what she had that was worth the Undead King's attention.
But after looking at it for a long time, he still couldn't find anything.
"Really?" One of the mages could not help but ask, "As long as we leave them behind, we can leave?"
Two people in exchange for their lives, it was a good deal.
They weren't familiar with each other in the first place, so they didn't feel the slightest bit of guilt.
"Yes." The Undead King nodded.
"Alright!!"
"You!" The youth was instantly enraged. "Big Sister Blue Ice helped you, yet you treat her like this. As expected, Dark Mages aren't anything good."
"Yeah, we're Dark Mages. Of course we're not good people." One of the mages replied. He was not angry at all. After all, they were the scum of the mages. It did not matter if they were more of a scum.
The youth was so angry that his face turned red. How could there be such scum among the mages!
"Ask the undead to make way for us."
The Undead King waved his hand. The undead army behind him quickly opened up a path that led straight into the distance.
The mages exchanged glances. They were a little shaken. If they were to face the Undead King directly, they would definitely die. Now there was a chance …
Shi Sheng looked at them coldly.
Dong Yu crouched down in his black robe. "Wife, do you think they'll die?"
"Of course they will." The Undead King only said that they could leave, but he didn't say that he would guarantee their safety.
A bunch of idiots!
The undead and the mages were irreconcilable. How could he let them go?
"I think so too," Dong Yu said. "The undead are sometimes more cunning than humans. Wife, do you want to be my puppet? That way, we won't have to be afraid of them."
"If you say puppet again, I'll strangle you to death!" Shi Sheng gritted his teeth.
Dong Yu choked. "If you don't want to say it, then don't say it. Why are you so fierce?"
Shi Sheng was speechless. If I wasn't fierce, would you listen to me?
The mages on the other side had already made their decision. They began to remove the barrier. Those who were a little braver immediately ran into the path. Those who were still hesitating were relieved when they saw that the mages were not attacked. They quickly chased after the mages.
The mages soon left Lan Bing and the young man behind. As for Shi Sheng, they did not even consider him.
Not long after the last person ran into the path, they heard a cry of agony.
The path quickly closed up. It was easy to imagine what would happen to the mages who were surrounded by the undead army.
Lan Bing and the young man's expressions changed. They looked at the Undead King even more cautiously.
This Undead King …
"Hand over the Undead Staff and the Book of the Dead." The Undead King ignored the cries behind him.
"The Book of the Dead?" Shi Sheng rose to his feet. "What's that?"
The soul fire of the Undead King flickered. He slowly turned his head and pointed it in Shi Sheng's direction. He said without hiding anything, "A book that records all the ways to use the Undead Staff."
"A manual for the Undead Staff?" No wonder the female lead could learn how to use the Undead Staff so quickly. It was because she had the manual. Biased!
F * cking retard! Why didn't I have it?!
"Even if I give you the Book of the Dead, you'll still treat me the same way you treated those mages. Why should I give you the Book of the Dead?!" Lan Bing said sternly.
"You don't have a choice." The Undead King's voice was as calm as ever.
"How do you know I don't have it?" Lan Bing did not panic. This was the aura a female lead should have. "I can take the Book of the Dead with me. You won't get anything."
The Undead King paused for a moment, then looked at Shi Sheng. "You'll make the same choice as her?"
"I'm afraid of death."
The Undead King seemed satisfied. "Then give me the Undead Staff. I can guarantee that you can walk out of here safely. The undead won't attack you."
This promise was of a much higher level than the promise he made to the mages.
"So generous?"
"The Undead Staff is enough to exchange for your life."
"Unfortunately, I don't need it." Shi Sheng shrugged.
The Undead King's aura suddenly surged. "You refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit?"
Shi Sheng said calmly, "I don't like to drink a forfeit either."
The Undead King's voice suddenly turned cold. "Since none of you are willing to hand it over, then I can only make my move."
He had come here today for the Undead Staff and the Book of the Dead. If he couldn't get these two things, he wouldn't give up.
A long time ago, someone had told him that these two things would meet in Song Willow City one day. That was why he had been waiting here, waiting for them to come to him.
He didn't expect that it would really happen.
He had been waiting for this day for a long time.
