581 Stepping Out of the Walls (2/2)
The wilted weeds were swaying slightly. The dried ground began to crack open slowly, so weak that it was not making any noise, yet the observant little Flame Belle noticed the difference, letting Mo Fan notice it too!
”Something's there!” Mo Fan told Yao Nan.
Yao Nan had assigned Mo Fan to be the Vice Captain of the team. Therefore, Mo Fan had thirty Intermediate Magicians under his command. As a responsible captain, Mo Fan hoped that everyone would be able to finish the operation unharmed.
”It's not coming out,” Yao Nan waited for a while, before urging the people to proceed forward, seeing that there were no undead coming out from the loosened ground.
”Could it be an ambush?” asked Mo Fan.
”HAHAHA, kid, I think you've grown dumber, spending too much time in your institute. Undead are only a bunch of brainless creatures. Even if there are only one or two of them, they will still attack a Super Magician boldly. I don't think they have brains to set up an ambush,” said a man with a scar in the shape of a cross on his face.
”Is that so? I've encountered undead that know how to ambush us,” replied Mo Fan.
”The real undead, even the Officials and Rulers among them, have no intelligence at all...” said Yao Nan confidently.
Mo Fan stopped commenting further, yet he kept recalling the undead kid that Liu Ru had mentioned to him.
That being said, Mo Fan did not realize that the two incidents were related. He simply realized the truth behind the undead that had ambushed Hua Village all of a sudden, yet he was still confused by a question.
”Where are the Light Magicians we are supposed to protect?” asked Mo Fan.
”They will be here later. The other teams are distracting the undead army. I bet our superiors are waiting for the perfect time to strike, to kill that undead emperor!” said a soldier with a square face.
”Which means, if Zhu Meng and the others fail to kill the undead emperor, we're pretty much trapped among the undead army?” asked Mo Fan.
”That would be the case, but as long as we can eliminate the White Serene Ghost Officials, they will surely kill the undead emperor, and they will send backups, too. Even without backups, the Super Magicians are more than enough to wipe out the undead army.” Zhou Ming seemed fairly confident that the plan would work.
”You're scared, but I don't think you're that kind of person,” said Mu Bai.
”I just don't like that my life isn't in my control,” said Mo Fan.
”Who would like that?” agreed Zhou Ming.
”By the way, the undead only appear at night, so what are they doing during the day?” asked Mo Fan.
Yao Nan turned around and said, ”I think if the government gives every undead's household access to wi-fi; they probably won't trouble us any further out of boredom… what, isn't that funny? I'm just trying to ease everyone's nerves!”
”Hehe...”
