Shorty gulped.
He had spent lots of years in the Land of the Undead, yet every time when night arrived, his heart would start pounding heavily. Even when he was away from the Ancient Capital, he would still experience fear and uneasiness at night.
”Eat the Ash Garlic now!” Shorty reminded the group.
The woman in black silk and her two companions did not hesitate. They immediately ate the Ash Garlic.
Liu Ru had also eaten one, only Mo Fan was still struggling to make a decision.
The sound of something grumbling with their mouth filled up could be heard coming from the ground. Mo Fan turned around and saw a head full of worms poking out from the ground. Its eyes were dangling out, same with its jaw...
It looked like the thing was stuck in the ground, only its head coming out of the ground, with its body still trapped beneath. Its reaction when it saw Mo Fan was like a starving human who had seen a golden chicken wing. It desperately tried to wriggle its way toward Mo Fan!
”How dare you try to harm your Grandpa Mo!” Mo Fan kicked the head of the undead without mercy.
The head was likely not attached to the neck. The kick immediately sent the head off as a projectile. The skull ended up slamming into a rock and splattered everywhere.
The sound of many deep moans surrounded him
Suddenly, a huge section of the ground broke apart, revealing a huge tomb less than ten meters away from Mo Fan.
The tombs seemed fairly aged, even the cement had begun to rot. The half-corpse, half-skeletal creatures inside the tombs rose with bloodshot eyes after being summoned by the head that Mo Fan had kicked!
The bones of the creatures were fairly black, implying that they had been poisoned to death long ago. Meanwhile, the tools scattering across the place implied that they were buried together with some general in ancient times. Mo Fan initially thought there were over twenty of them, yet there was a burial cave beneath the tombs the skeletons were appearing from endlessly, each covered in blood and with a savage look!
Mo Fan's fist instantly erupted in flames as he swung it in the air...
Since the skeletons were all coming out from the cave, he could simply blast the cave with his Fiery Fist!
”Mo Fan, look around you!” Liu Ru immediately shouted.
Mo Fan turned around and saw seven or eight tombs just like the one in front of him less than a few hundred meters away...
The skeletons were gathering like soldiers. Their eyes were staring at the only person that was still exhaling living breath, like stars in the sky. The sight was so stunning that Mo Fan instantly stiffened in place.
”Actually, the thing doesn't taste as bad as I thought!” Mo Fan threw the Ash Garlic into his mouth with the worst expression he had ever made.
Shorty grinned disdainfully. He glanced at the skeletons surrounding them and said, ”We should probably leave this place as soon as possible. It must be the grave of some minister during the Qing Dynasty, judging from the number of people and workers that were buried with him. It's almost at the scale of an emperor's tomb… we can easily deal with these skeletons, but those ministers were strong Magicians when they were alive. If they actually turned into Undead Generals, we're pretty much dead.”
”Can you please stand further away from me when you speak?” added Mo Fan.
