Chapter 1674 - A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees

Chapter 1674: 456 Major Tear and Legendary Sniper_6 The caravan made its way into a dark, dense forest. After entering, their pace became even slower. The light was so dim and there were all kinds of obstructions that even the most experienced travellers had trouble recognizing the way. Fortunately, the narrow path that cut through the Bronze Dragon Hills from south to north had not disappeared. They staggered forward. ... The sky grew darker. They had no idea how long they had walked. Suddenly, a large clearing appeared before them. A solitary cabin stood in the clearing. On the ground outside the cabin, swarmed a great number of zombies and skeletons! As if sensing the approach of the living, the undead swarmed towards them in an instant. Imminently, to the horrified gazes of everyone, an even greater number of undead silently emerged from other parts of the forest. These undead creatures had them completely surrounded. Countless soul fires flickered around them. Everyone’s complexion turned horribly grim! Immediately afterward. A chilling voice emanated from the cabin: “You dare to trespass into my woods without permission.” “Do you wish to become my servants as well?” The door of the cabin swung open. A young, pale-faced spellcaster with sunken eye sockets stepped out. This spellcaster fit all of Alicia’s stereotypes of a necromancer. He looked like he had just crawled out of a coffin. His whole being exuded an aura of gloom and death! “We are from the Hoarfrost Bird caravan and the Dream Mercenary Group.” “May I ask who you are?” The commander cautiously stepped forward to negotiate. The other arrogantly answered: “Could it be that there is another tree-planting mage in this world?” The commander immediately put on a smile: “We’ve taken the wrong path, and we are very sorry.” “We would like to offer an apology, how much do you want…” The spellcaster coldly interrupted: “You’ve disturbed the peace of the dead, this isn’t something money can solve!” The commander’s face tensed up. The next second, the spellcaster said leisurely: “Leave the women and the caravan behind.” “The rest leave on foot.” “I don’t like slaughtering the innocents, I just need to administer a small punishment on you.” Upon hearing this, everyone’s heart soured. The commander still wanted to negotiate. Who knew that the other suddenly turned hostile: “Not willing?” “Then die here, all of you!” The next second, he suddenly pointed with his right hand, two grey rays shot out between his index and middle fingers, striking the two horses pulling the carriage. In an instant, the horses collapsed without even a whinny, becoming two cold, lifeless bodies! Seeing this scene, everyone felt a sudden tightness in their chests. “Never confront a spellcaster lightly.” This was almost a golden rule among mercenaries. But only in the presence of real magic, could everyone feel that sense of fear emanating from a spellcaster! Especially the evil necromancy! “Forget it, I’m a kind-hearted person and can’t be bothered dealing with your corpses.” “So I’ll give you another way out.” “You, and you, you two stay, the rest of you can get lost now!” Seeing that his magic had successfully intimidated everyone, the spellcaster spoke with a leisurely change of tone. The two he pointed out were none other than Ding Xianghua and Alicia from the Dream Mercenary Group! The rest looked at each other in disbelief. The people from the caravan breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly called for other horses to pull the carriage. The commander’s wife seemed to want to say something, but was pulled back by the commander! In Alicia’s incredulous gaze, the others so easily reached an agreement to abandon them! Including Hound and Porcupine! Under the necromancer’s mocking gaze, the rest of the caravan silently moved towards the gap opened by the undead and walked away. The commander pulled the commander’s wife, and they stumbled away as well. Along the way, he was trying hard to say something in the commander’s wife’s ear, the warm-hearted barbarian lady had also chosen to heed her husband’s advice. She glanced guiltily at Alicia and Ding Xianghua. Quickly, everyone else had left through the gap made by the undead. Ding Xianghua looked at Alicia with some sadness: “So this is our fate?” With a hearty laugh, the spellcaster said: “Don’t be so pessimistic, my beauties.” “Soon, you will find that serving me is far better than serving those lower beings!” Alicia’s chest tightened, and her lips turned a faint lilac color. “Clang!” She drew her sword and pointed it at the spellcaster, her eyes filled with disappointment, she said: “I knew it, the crows of the world are as black, and the tree-planting mage would be no different…” “I even spoke in your defense before.” “You are nothing but a beast!” However, at that moment, she caught sight of an unexpected figure out of the corner of her eye— It was that young man who knew the Bread Spell! He had not left! As Alicia looked at him quizzically, the young man finally said nonchalantly: “He indeed is a beast.” “But I guess the tree-planting mage might not be…” Then, he boldly strode towards the “tree-planting mage”! The spellcaster also “eh?” in surprise, as if only now noticing that someone hadn’t left. “You want to play the hero?” With a sneer, the spellcaster pointed into the void, and a succession of grey rays struck the young man. To his astonishment, however, those rays infused with lethal energy didn’t harm the young man at all! Not even his forwards momentum was affected! “Who are you?” The spellcaster seemed to sense something was amiss.
