The trembling of the earth came from afar. Zhang Xiaohou, Qu Kang, and the others stood in the ruins of the divine tree. Their expressions couldn't help but turn pale.
"Seriously? It's just a small hill. Are you sure it's part of the Great Wall?" Qu Kang said.
Qu Kang initially thought the Shenmu Ruins would have ancient walls like the Northguard Fortress. To his surprise, it turned out to be a pile of dirt. It was only a small hill at most. It was nothing like the Great Wall in his mind!
A pile of hard soil like this might not even be able to stop an ordinary Servant-class creature, let alone an army of the Underworld.
"A lot of the ancient passes of the Great Wall are abandoned and barren. Only a few of the more famous sections of the Great Wall are preserved. However, Mr. Prophet said that as long as we have the Earth Origin Spring, the ancient defenses will be restored!" Zhang Xiaohou said seriously.
He did not doubt the Prophet's words at all. Their priority now was to find the Beacon Tower. Only by inserting the Earth Origin Spring there could the ancient ruins be restored!
It was difficult to locate the Beacon Tower. The dirt was quite long, around eight kilometers long. The people living in the area had moved away a long time ago. No one could point them to the Beacon Tower's location.
"Luo Tong is back. What's the situation like?" Qu Kang asked when he saw Luo Tong, who had gone to investigate the situation.
Luo Tong was a Captain of the Northguard Fortress's First Army. He was following Zhang Xiaohou, who was in charge of guarding the Shenmu Ancient Pass.
Luo Tong had just returned from the frontline. He had a dark expression on his face. A few young Generals were with him. They were all in a great shock. It was easy to tell from their expressions that they had seen something extremely terrifying.
"I don't know what to say, either. Anyway, they are less than thirty kilometers away from us. There are just too many of them. They are covering the sky and the ground. It feels like the whole world is going to be devoured by them. I've been in the Northguard Fortress for a long time. I've been through dozens of battles, but the number of undead is less than a tenth of what I've seen today. Can we really fend them off?" Luo Tong was doubtful.
In the beginning, when they were determined to stop him, it was because of their lofty ambitions, and they swore to protect him with their lives. However, after seeing such an enemy, no one could retain that willpower. Everything would be destroyed to the point that not even dust would remain.
The other young Generals' faces darkened, too. How could they possibly believe that the Great Wall that had been forgotten was enough to fend off the ferocious Underworld creatures?
"Commander Zhang, we've found the beacon tower. It's four kilometers away," an officer reported in a serious manner.
"Four kilometers?" Zhang Xiaohou was startled.
That was quite a distance away. Even though he could easily reach the Beacon Tower with his speed, he was not the one who was responsible for inserting the Earth Spring. It was Yu Feifeng, an Earth Mage. The guy had volunteered to be in charge of a section of the fortress, but the Prophet thought he was more suitable as a Formation Master to insert the Earth Spring, so he was assigned to follow Zhang Xiaohou's group. He would be in charge of inserting the Earth Spring, while Zhang Xiaohou and the others would escort him.
"The army of undead is almost here. We have to hurry!" Qu Kang said.
The group sprinted forward. Four kilometers was not too far for them, but the army of undead was not slow, either. It would not take them too long to cover thirty kilometers.

The Northguard Fortress
As the core of the fortress, the Northguard Fortress had the most soldiers guarding it. Most of the Battlemages stayed behind to defend the fortress with the two commanders.
At this moment, the loud rumbling sound had already entered everyone's ears. They could already feel the menacing aura of the Netherworld Realm before they could even see the true Netherworld Realm army.
"They're here!" A captain yelled from the watchtower. He tossed a ray of light into the sky, signaling the arrival of the enemy.
Following it, a different kind of light rose from the watchtower, indicating the number of the enemy. If there was only one light at the highest point, it meant there were less than a thousand of them …
The light suddenly blossomed when it reached the night sky. The soldiers of the Northguard Fortress were dumbfounded when they saw the brilliant light like fireworks!
"So … so many of them?"
"How many are there!?"
It was still difficult to count the number of light beams. They were still a dozen kilometers away, yet they had already flooded the place.
"Bin Wei, it's up to you now," the Prophet said in a heavy voice.
Bin Wei nodded. She was looking into the distance. She had already discovered the Underworld Executioners. Even though she was mentally prepared, her heart still shuddered when the sight of the Underworld Executioners was right in front of her!
She had never experienced the uneasiness and fear she had when she was still weak after reaching the Super Level. However, the feeling she was having now was even stronger than when she was only a Basic or Intermediate Mage when she was facing off against powerful creatures.
There were just too many of them, too many to count. She could not even muster the will to fight them, as everything would be destroyed by them. Even the Northguard Fortress that the soldiers of the Northguard Fortress were so proud of was tiny compared to the army of undead!
"Heavenly Defense Stance!" Bin Wei took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.
The weaker she was, the more chaotic the defense of the Great Wall would be. She could not afford to tremble in fear. She had to maintain her iron will at all costs. Only then could the Great Wall stand firm!
The ancient Great Wall rose from the ground once again. The zigzagging stone wall was extended horizontally. The height of the wall, which was originally less than seven meters tall, suddenly rose to fifty meters, and it seemed like it was still climbing up the wall!
A Heavenly Barrier soon appeared in front of the Northguard Fortress. It was made of ancient gray rocks, so tall that even the fortress was dwarfed by it. Most shockingly, the Heavenly Barrier continued to expand after reaching a length of three kilometers. It was impossible to see its true appearance with their naked eyes!
The area in front of the Northguard Fortress was a flat land just a moment ago, but a mountain range had appeared all of a sudden. It was over ten kilometers long. The spectacular view was like a stroke of genius. The people of the Northguard Fortress finally realized what the real Great Wall of China looked like!
