The night was dark, yet the courtyard was filled with the scent of blood.
A cry of agony came from the courtyard. The villager called Gouzi had his arm dismembered by one of the undead. The sound of his bones breaking mixed with his cries of agony.
"Damn it!" Liu Ru glared furiously at Fang Gu, who was standing at the entrance of the well.
Fang Gu was an evil Necromancer. The guy had resurrected the people of Sunny Goat Village who had been buried and refined them into undead.
"Let them go at once, we've never done anything to you. Why are you doing this to us!?" Su Xiaoluo's voice was trembling.
Zhang Xiaohou was standing beside her, trying his best to protect her. However, the rest of the villagers were being torn apart by the undead. The pieces of their corpses were scattered in the pool of blood, and the whole courtyard was soaked in blood!
"Never done anything to you? Never done anything to you? HAHAHA, only a naive little girl like you has no idea what's going on … well, I did hear that you went to the Qinling Mountains to collect herbs. You have no idea what your beloved village chief and your uncles and aunts have done, "Fang Gu burst out laughing.
The presence of death lingered in the courtyard, strengthening the strength of the undead. In the beginning, Liu Ru was still able to protect the villagers. However, as they gradually grew stronger through the tempering process, the living dead became more and more ferocious. Liu Ru, who was besieged, was forced to retreat. She could only watch helplessly as more and more villagers were torn apart.
Fang Gu was extremely cruel. He had ordered the undead to tear the villagers of Hua Village into pieces when they were still alive. He wanted them to experience more pain before they died!
"When the Water of Kun was about to run out, we came to your village and asked your village chief what he had done!" Fang Gu said with a cold grin.
Xie Sang's expression was extremely ugly. He never thought that these people, who had already died, would seek revenge. More than half of the people in the village had been slaughtered by this monster. As the guardian of the Spring of Kun for generations, he was too ashamed to face his ancestors!
"Let the others go, I was the one who chased you away …" Xie Sang glanced at the miserable corpses scattered across the courtyard, and at the children who were too scared to move.
"Let the others go? When I begged you to let them stay, what did you do? Without the protection of the God of the Well, we will all be torn into pieces by the filthy undead … can you understand how I feel when I look at the people around me waiting for their deaths when night falls? "Fang Gu's face was like a demon's, an expression that only the most resentful would have.
As he spoke, another two teenage zombies pounced on Zhang Xiaohou, only to be blocked by Zhang Xiaohou's Rock Barrier.
Fang Gu did not seem to mind. He continued to speak with a hateful voice, "Despair, it's the despair you're feeling right now. Therefore, when I killed them one by one in the sunset, I told myself that I would let the people of your village experience the same feeling of being surrounded by death and waiting for their deaths!"
"Wh … what, you killed the people of your own village?" Su Xiaoluo blurted out in disbelief.
Liu Ru was astounded, too. This Fang Gu had done it himself!
"What else could I do? Instead of letting the filthy undead eat their bones, why don't I turn them into zombies that I can control … it's the only way I can think of as a Necromancer!" said Fang Gu.
Killing everyone with his own hands, including his children and wife!
Liu Ru had no idea how to react …
It was obvious that the villagers of Hua Village were extremely inhumane when they rejected the villagers of Sunny Goat Village, who had lost the protection of the God of the Well, forcing Chief Fang Gu to turn them all into zombies before night fell. Liu Ru could not imagine the terrifying scene of Fang Gu murdering his own villagers!
Killing them, turning them into zombies, and waiting for his revenge …
No wonder Hua Village was attacked by the undead even though they were protected by the God of the Well, as the Necromancer Fang Gu was the one controlling the undead!
It was obvious that Fang Gu was using some kind of method to allow the undead to appear during the day …
"I've used the remaining Water from the Kun Well as a concoction to refine them. The old ancestor has blessed me in the end. After adding the Water from the Kun Well, my undead people are now able to move around during the day … unfortunately, there's a Magician in the way. Otherwise, there's no way you'll be able to reach the Ancient Capital!" Fang Gu continued. The grudge in his heart had turned him into a monster. He was going to unleash it all today, by making the people of Hua Village pay with their lives!
Liu Ru came to a realization.
The undead could only appear during the night, or the presence of death was strong enough to block out the light … but it was difficult for the presence of death to gather under the sunlight.
When they were ambushed on the way back, there was no presence of death in the surroundings, and it was daytime. Normally, a Necromancer would not be able to control the undead. It turned out that it was the effect of the water from the Kun Well that had been protected by the villagers for generations!
The biggest limitation of a Necromancer was that they were unable to Summon their undead during the day. Otherwise, the Undead Element would be stronger than the Summoning Element … since Fang Gu had found the method, he would be able to control the undead as he pleased!
"Su Xiaoluo, and you two outsiders, this is between us and Hua Village. Mind your own business, and I'll spare your lives. If you try to stop me again, I'll kill you too!" said Fang Gu.
"Humph, you've already lost your mind. Otherwise, why would you wipe out the other six villages!?" snapped Liu Ru coldly.
Hua Village was the first to show mercy. Liu Ru believed it was reasonable for Fang Gu to pay with their lives.
However, not only did Fang Gu wipe out Hua Village, he had also wiped out the other six villages. What else could he be if he wasn't a maniac? How shameless was he to claim that he was only trying to get his revenge!?
"I only killed the people of Hua Village," said Fang Gu.
"It seems like not only are you a maniac, you're also as hypocritical as a ghost!" cursed Liu Ru.
Not long after they entered the Ancient Capital, the news of the other six villages being wiped out had reached them. The people of the villages were protected by the Kun Well, thus the undead would not attack them. Who else could it be apart from Fang Gu, a Necromancer?
