Chapter 916: Chapter 582, Checking the Register (Seeking Recommendations and Subscriptions…)_2 The silver-haired dragon maiden rose to her feet, “Since it’s not the Lizardmen, we’ll head back first.” “Send off the guests!” The Lizardmen attendant led the two away. They returned through the Teleportation Array. Both the silver-haired girl and Aerygon had rather unpleasant expressions on their faces. “What should we do?” Aerygon asked. ... Searching for a transmigrator was too difficult, like finding a needle in a haystack. They had come to the Lizardmen, originally thinking they could find some clues here. But now, the trail had gone cold again. The dragon maiden said, “Let’s go back first and report the situation here to our clan.” … Elsewhere. The Great Cemetery of Odys. Moringold Valley. Once, during the reign of the Gold Eating Queen of the ‘Anglina Kingdom’. Moringold Valley was a major grain-producing base of the kingdom. When it was the season of harvest. The golden valley was as dense as a forest. At a glance, the land was covered in gold. But now, at a glance. Desolation and wild smoke, withered branches and decaying bones. Aseti sat atop a ‘Wind Demon’. Her gaze surveyed the desolate surroundings. “Is this the place?” Aseti looked to the side. The transmigrator—Shao Xing—immediately opened a map to confirm, “It’s here, the position is correct.” Shao Xing was a subsidiary City Lord under Zhang Bin. Assigned by ‘Amanda’ for a mission, he accompanied the Cavalry Leader ‘Aseti’ to Moringold Valley, scouting for intelligence and filling in the incomplete map. They had followed the map all the way here, but upon arrival. The scenery described on it was nowhere to be seen; instead, it was as if they’d entered a haunted realm. A gloomy desolation. Aseti checked the sheepskin map in her hand again, confirming the directions were correct before. She waved her hand slightly, “Move on, keep going forward.” Hundreds of Skeleton Cavalry behind her moved forward as well. Twenty minutes into their march. A dilapidated village appeared ahead. Collapsed wells and crumbling walls, not a soul in sight. “This really is haunted!” Shao Xing muttered to himself. As soon as they stepped into the village. They heard faint wailing sounds coming from the center of the village. With a group in tow, they quickly approached, and the pleas for mercy, the crying, grew clearer and clearer. Passing a row of ruined houses. Finally, they saw the scene at the center. In an open space, a group of young men and women, not very old, were being dragged to the center by a bunch of Undead and pushed to the ground. “Let my child go, he’s just one year old and useless to you.” A young woman was kneeling on the ground, her head banging against the earth like pounding garlic. In front of the woman, an Undead with blue Soul Fire flickering in its pupils held a struggling, crying boy aloft. Seeing that the woman’s pleas were futile. The rest had closed their eyes unwillingly. It wasn’t just this child; today, they all expected to die here. Just as the woman’s head was bloody from kowtowing and her body went limp on the ground. And the Undead was about to hurl the boy to his death. Whoosh! Crack! A sharp arrow whistled from the side, piercing directly through the Undead’s skull. Both Undead and humans looked towards the source. There, at some point, a squad of Cavalry made up of humans and Undead had appeared on the previously empty street. The Undead pulled the arrow from its skull. The boy was carelessly thrown aside. The hollow pupils stared intently at the group not far away. “Kill them,” the Undead ordered. All around, the White Bone Undead raised their weapons and began to charge towards them. Shao Xing shivered and turned to run. Then he thought, no, that’s not right. With an orange hero by his side and so many soldiers, why should I run? And Aseti simply pointed forward, “Kill these Undead.” Clatter! The Skeleton Cavalry charged out, and in a single encounter, they slaughtered a large number of the enemy Undead. But this place was not suited for Cavalry battle. After a charge, the Skeleton Cavalry dismounted and joined the fray against the opposite skeletons. Were it not for the different equipment they wore, it would be impossible to tell who was who and which side had the advantage. Aseti joined the fight as well. After slaying the commanding Undead, the rest of the Undead were all killed off. Shao Xing dismounted too, instructing his skeletons to help the collapsed men and women to their feet. The young mother. Also bloodied, she leaned against the side, holding her child in her arms. Shao Xing took out herbs and bandages from his backpack. He bandaged the woman’s wound, managing to stop the bleeding for the moment. The villagers did not express thanks. Their expressions were more of confusion and numbness. Amanda, sitting on horseback. Shao Xing directly asked, “Who among you knows the way to Moringold Valley?” The men and women looked at him puzzled, and no one answered. It was the injured woman who stood up and said, “What do you want with Moringold Valley?” “I have my reasons, if you know then just tell us,” Shao Xing responded immediately. The woman glanced at him and said, “This place is Moringold Valley, but a few years back, it changed its name to ‘Dusty Wasteland’.” “Damn!” Shao Xing exclaimed. Where’s the fertile land, the endless expanse of the valley? The outside is desolate, just like a ghost realm. This is Moringold Valley? Are these all the people left in the village? The humans living here really have it tough. “Are you from Odys too?” another person asked. “No,” Shao Xing retorted, “Why were those skeletons killing you all?” The others fell silent again. It was the rescued woman who spoke, “The Undead are at war, perhaps they’re running out of troops. They plan to kill everyone to replenish their forces.”
