The sun was blazing, but I didn't know when it was noon.

The sand layer that had been frozen into a board was evaporated by the heat, turning into a curling mist that rose like a gentle mist, making the surrounding desert faintly distorted, but it was quickly completely evaporated by the heat that was pressed down.

At noon, the hottest time in the Narun Desert is also the time when the positive energy is at its highest.

Dark clouds and dense fog of negative energy convergence cannot be stopped.

The cold melts.

The undead retreated without a trace.

Kant Zema stood in place, and in less than half an hour, it was as if a long time had passed.

Turning his head slightly, the traces of the camp next to him were still there, and even the bonfire had not been completely extinguished, releasing curling green smoke in the sand, bringing a different color to the space.

Looking up ahead, the endless sea of sand is still the yellow and desolate appearance.

Looks the same as usual.

But Kant understood that there was no going back to what it used to be.

The surrounding sand was covered with broken bones, scattered bones all over the ground, tattered halberds and chain mail, and tattered linen that was slowly moving in the breeze between the sands.

That's the legacy of the undead skeletons!

"Your Lord."

The mage's apprentice opened his mouth and reported in a deep voice, "The negative energy belonging to the undead class has dissipated. ”

"Good." Kant nodded.

However, his tone was slightly deep, he looked up at the front, and said in a deep voice: "Keep going!" ”

"Yes!"

The knights behind him immediately answered.

The horses stride, their hooves stomping on the splinters of the ground and leaving marks in the sand.

Danger ahead.

But Kant still didn't want to stop there, now it was not just as simple as completing the system task, but also he had to investigate what was in the depths of the desert and how many terrifying undead there were!

This is deep in the Naren Desert.

In terms of location, it is 4 days away from the salt mine and 7 days away from the salt mine station.

It is also 8 days away from the Sentry Oasis.

If the undead here start to expand, then the "Drehem" Castle located in the Sentry Oasis is also located on the line of the expansion of these undead, or rather, directly facing the expansion of the undead!

The canopy of death that seems to cover the sky will spread.

It's like last night.

Kant camped on the edge of the canopy of death.

But when I woke up this morning, I found that I had been included in the canopy of death, and I didn't know where I was!

It was only at noon, when the sun was at its most intense, that the positive energy gathered its terrifying power to dispel the curtain of death, allowing Kant and them to regain the shroud of light.

If this terrifying canopy of death converges on the side of the sentry oasis.

Kant was not sure.

What a blow will be to his own "Drehem" castle!

Even if it spreads to the salt mines, the damage is enormous.

The salt mines in Kant's hands will leave him, and the golden eagles plundered by the salt trade every week will be cut off, and even have a chain reaction, causing his "Drehem" castle to fall into a complete loop.

If you can't solve the Death Canopy, you won't be able to exchange the Golden Eagle for Dinars, and you won't be able to maintain your troops.

And if you can't maintain your troops, you can't solve the Death Canopy!

Back and forth.

Endless loop, let Kant feel like choking his own throat like an endless loop!

He must not allow his development to be directly interrupted by the sudden arrival of the undead, let alone let his castle become a bridgehead to resist the invasion of the undead in vain, and he is also secretly dug and buried by the human nobles in the rear!

The nobles of the Lion Principality, who only focused on their immediate interests, really dared to do this.

Kant is sure!

As long as Kant is killed, then the desert salt mine will fall into the hands of the nobles of these lion principalities, as for the undead? This group of nobles, who have a lot of interests and don't care about the overall situation, don't think that they will be unable to resist the undead.

After all, there were once these undead in some secluded and ancient tombs on this road.

The nobility was no stranger to the undead.

Especially in the Northern County Territory, the tombs that can breed the undead can be seen everywhere, and almost every knight or nobleman's land will have a few places for the undead.

Even if it's not an ancient tomb, even if it's a decades-old graveyard, there may be undead spirits.

After all, negative energy converges with the resentment of the dead, and it is normal for the undead to appear.

But the undead were few in number, organized by the peasants to recruit peasants and armed militias, which could be solved by sending a long spear infantry, and the danger was almost pitifully weak compared to the demonic creatures of the Sanwaya Mountains.

How can it be compared to the undead troops in this canopy of death?

Just now!

These undead have created a terrifying canopy of death.

Except for knights with extraordinary strength who can ignore it, ordinary elite entry will weaken combat effectiveness.

If they are ordinary people, thin farmers, it is estimated that it will not be long before they will be eroded by the negative energy mixed with the resentment to erode their minds and bodies, die in disease and panic, and even be eroded by the negative energy of the death canopy, and turn into the dead again, with extreme fear and resentment, as well as hatred for the living, they will become undead zombies!

This is also recorded in some ancient books in this world, and there are even examples of large-scale undead dispatches, negative energy gatherings, and resentment of the entire village residents into zombies.

But this has been the case for a long time.

But in front of the example, it still shows the horror of the undead!

Kant himself may be able to resist the invasion of the undead, but he will definitely not be able to take care of the dark stick of the Duchy of Lion!

"One has to be solved first."

Gritting his teeth slightly, Kant had already decided in his heart.

The best plan is to first detect the undead, preemptively curb their desire to expand, ensure the safety of the salt mines, quickly develop their own power in a short period of time, and subdue the nobles of the Lion Principality.

There is definitely a reason for the appearance of the undead.

In the cave dungeon at the end of the ancient passage, the old lich foreshadowed this.

"I'm so stupid."

Kant gritted his teeth and rode forward, his face gloomy.

Since we all know that even the so-called Pope of the Sun God Cult has become a lich, how can there be no accident in the Lost City that has suffered a great calamity, that is, the Golden Holy City where the Sun God descendants live?

According to the information given by those demons and gods, the gods and demons at the beginning were all exhausted.

It is like the outbreak of World War III between the United States and the Soviet Union during the Cold War.

The two sides threw nuclear warheads at each other.

In the end, both suffered irreparable damage.

In order to win the final victory, both sides used any means that could be used, and now it seems that even the means of the undead have been used, just to kill each other.

Genocidal wars.

But in the end, both sides were defeated, and the remaining power still has an impact today.

was thinking wildly in his mind, but the faces of the mage apprentices next to him became more and more serious, and they rode forward, stepping on the sand layer to face the scorching sun and continue to approach the depths of the Narun Desert, and finally seemed to have discovered something.

"Your Lord!"

The mage's apprentice spoke suddenly.

Kant instantly came back to his senses, turned his head and said, "What's wrong." ”

Although the mage apprentices from the Einface Empire have not mastered powerful spells, they can still bring a lot of beneficial effects in terms of the perception of spiritual power and magical knowledge.

For example, perceiving and analyzing various energy elements is very useful.

"We know where the spirits have gone."

The mage apprentices spoke, their faces even more serious: "And the dark clouds and fog that make up the canopy of death. ”

"Where?" Kant frowned.

"It's just... Underneath the sand, on the soles of our feet! The mage apprentice said in a deep voice.

There was a slight pause.

The knights next to them all subconsciously slowed down the galloping speed of the war horses under their crotches.

They all turned their heads to look at Kant and the mage's apprentice.

The expressions are solemn.

"That's not good news."

Kant couldn't help but mumble to himself.

His brows were already furrowed, and he turned his head to look at the mage apprentice: "Are you sure about this news?" ”

"Sure!"

The mage apprentice nodded: "Pretty sure!" ”

At the same time, they also gave their own guesses: "We went deep into the Narun Desert, and although the temperature of the scorching sun above our heads was still unbearable, there was a chill under us, which was different from usual, and this chill was neutralized by the temperature of the scorching sun, just enough for us to barely march at noon, so as not to overheat and suffer from heat stroke." ”

"That's true." Kant nodded.

The knights next to them perceived, and were equally impressive, discovering this subtle difference.

Because of the death canopy before, they didn't think about why they could still run under the scorching sun at noon, if it was at this time before, they would have set up camp and temporarily hid in the tent to rest.

How is it possible, as it is now, still on the march, and there is not much heat?

Definitely there is a problem!

The mage apprentices continued: "The problem is serious! We carefully perceive the bottom of the sand layer and find that there are many ancient rivers under the sand layer, and there are also many underground dark rivers, which absorb those dark clouds and dense fog, and even absorb all the negative energy in them. ”

After a pause, he continued: "Including those undead skeletons, the soft layer of sand can form quicksand, so that these undead can sink into the sand, and when the death canopy reappears, the quicksand will be lifted again and come to the world. ”

"Huh." Kant laughed softly, but there was seriousness in his eyes.

This question.

It's a bit of a hassle!

Even to Kant, it was felt that these spirits were consciously hiding from the scorching sun.

Or rather, someone is behind it!

At this moment, a dialog box instantly popped up on Kant's retina, and a series of data were listed.

【Ding... After your tireless efforts, the temporary task was completed. 】

[Temporary Mission: "Last Wish" completed.] 】

【Reward: 1 Spring×

Temporary tasks completed.

But then, the task reappeared on the retina.

Very special selective tasks.
