"Gulp ~ ~"
Shorty's Adam's apple? It moved slightly.
He had stayed in the Land of the Undead for so many years, but every time night fell, his heart would beat violently. Even if he was not in the Ancient Capital and flew to another city, the uneasiness and panic would still appear when night fell.
"Quick, eat the Ash Garlic!" Shorty urged the others.
The woman in black silk and her two attendants didn't hesitate and ate the disgusting Ash Garlic in one bite.
Liu Ru ate one too. Only Mofan was still struggling.
"Ugh! Ugh! "
The sound of something being stuck in the throat came out from the ground. Mofan turned around and saw a head crawling with maggots poking out from the ground. Its eyes were drooping, and so was its chin …
It looked like something was stuck in its throat. Only its head was sticking out from the ground. Its body was still buried in the ground. When it saw Mofan, it kept moving toward Mofan like a starving person seeing a golden drumstick!
"Trying to hurt your Grandpa Mo with something like that?" Mofan did not show any mercy. He kicked the undead's head.
The head was most likely separated from the neck. This kick caused the head to draw an arc in the air and smash into a bare rock, causing it to splatter all over the place.
"Ugh ~ Ugh ~ Ugh ~ Ugh ~"
Roars rose and fell one after another, spreading all around Mo.
Suddenly, a huge part of the ground cracked open, revealing a huge tomb less than ten meters away from Mofan.
The tomb seemed to have been there for some time, as the bricks had completely rotted away. More than twenty half-dead half-skeletons were lying in the tomb. They crawled out from the tomb with bloodshot eyes, as if they had heard the cry of the head that had fallen to the ground!
The skeletons were all black. It was most likely that they had been poisoned to death. Looking at the tools scattered around them, they were most likely the burial maids of some ancient general. Mofan initially thought more than twenty skeletons were already a lot. To his surprise, there was a cave under the tomb, where skeletons kept crawling out from. They were all covered in blood, and looked extremely hideous!
Mo Fan's fist brushed past the air, and immediately, a raging flame began to surge …
Since the skeletons were crawling out from the tomb, he would simply blast the tomb open with a single punch!
"Mofan, look around you," reminded Liu Ru.
Mo Fan turned around and saw around eight more of the same tombs scattered across the area with a radius of less than a few hundred kilometers …
Groups of skeletons gathered together like soldiers. Their eyes were fixed on Mofan, who was the only one breathing heavily. The spectacular sight immediately froze Mofan.
"Actually, it's not bad when you chew it carefully," Mofan picked up the Ash Garlic and took a bite. His face was as dark as it could get.
Shorty let out a disdainful laugh. He glanced at the skeletons and said, "Let's leave this place at once. This place must be the tomb of some important official from the Qing Dynasty. There are so many people and craftsmen buried here, it's comparable to the burial of an emperor … these skeletons are still manageable. We can still handle them if a fight breaks out. I'm just worried that some of the old officials were powerful Magicians when they were alive, and turned into undead after they died. That's going to be a lot of trouble. "
"Stay away from me when you're talking," added Mofan.
The effects of the Ash Garlic were immediate. Even the undead would think that they had not rinsed their mouths when they breathed out. Those who were obsessed with cleanliness would make way for them.
Shuttling through the hordes of undead, the black silk lady finally spoke. Her voice was so beautiful that it was like a clear melody drifting down from the sky. It would be great if there was a little emotion in her words, but perhaps it was this otherworldly feeling that made one's heart itch.
"Is it always like this here?" asked the woman in black silk.
Shorty was overwhelmed by the question. He immediately replied, "It wasn't like this before. Since the Drifting Sand River was in chaos, the presence of death here is very strong too. Everyone in the industry is saying that the new era of the undead is coming. Maybe, it's possible that the highest ruler of the kingdom of the undead has changed hands. "
"The highest ruler?" asked the woman in black silk.
"No one has seen it before, but everyone knows it exists … Everyone calls it death? Apparently, it's the remains of the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, "Shorty immediately showed off his knowledge.
"How long ago was your Tang Dynasty?" asked the woman in black silk.
"Our?" Shorty was startled.
Mofan's eyes flickered too. He managed to capture some information from the woman's words. The woman was not from their country. No wonder her Chinese sounded so weird!
"Around a thousand years ago," Shorty was unable to tell the exact year.
"A ruler of a thousand years …" mumbled the woman in black silk. However, she did not ask any further.
The woman did not ask any further, but Shorty continued to show off, "Isn't that so? Undead are dependent on their age. The older they are, the stronger they are. God knows what kind of shocking creatures will be born after being nurtured by the presence of death for a thousand years."
The history of this world was consistent. Mofan, who was well-read, quickly recalled that the capital of the Tang Dynasty was in Xi 'an. If this place was nurturing undead creatures, it was possible that the emperors in ancient times would turn into undead after they died …
"Seriously, these emperors are still ruling over the underground world and the night world even after being dead for so many years!" cursed Mofan.
"The tombs of the emperors are most likely places with good Feng Shui. It's normal for them to turn into monsters after absorbing the Qi of the Heavens and Earth. Everyone is saying that the ruler of the kingdom of the undead has changed hands. That's just a joke, as if they knew who the ruler of the kingdom of the undead used to be. The undead might not know if the ruler has changed hands, but us living humans do, "said Shorty.
"Is it true that no one has seen the ruler of the undead before?" asked Liu Ru softly.
Shorty shook his head and said honestly, "No one has seen the strongest Magician, either. There were some foreigners who claimed to be from the Holy Judgment Court who came looking for answers. They were all top Magicians, but none of them came back alive. I heard that they even turned into undead in the end … these foreigners are always a nuisance to us! "
Shorty suddenly realized that the woman in black silk was not a local. He chuckled and said, "I'm not talking about you."
"It's fine, I'm happy to hear the stupid things that the people of the Holy Judgment Court do," the woman in black silk's eyes flickered with a smile.
The Holy Judgment Court?
Mofan seemed to have heard of it before. It was a Magic Organization in Europe, similar to the Enforcement Union in China.
The Enforcement Union was responsible for executing, arresting, and executing evil Magicians who had committed crimes. The Holy Judgment Court was said to have the same purpose as Ultraman, which was to protect the peace of Earth.
