The undead finally disappeared, and the captain of the guard breathed a sigh of relief: "What happened to the undead just now, and why can it be resurrected?"

"That's the undead!" Priest Spike said solemnly, "a monster created by a necromancer with special magic. ”

"The previous bloodbath, as well as the killing of livestock in the city, were all done by necromancers?" the captain of the guard bowed his head and pondered, "It seems that we are looking in the wrong direction? This has nothing to do with vampires?"

"No!" said Pastor Spike gravely, "it doesn't matter. I carefully examined the wound on the corpse's neck just now, and it was indeed a vampire's tooth mark!"

"But Priest Spike, you say it's magically created by necromancers......"

"I'm afraid, we're dealing with a union of necromancers and vampires!" Priest Spike said solemnly, "This adventurer was caught by the vampires and drained of blood. Then he was enchanted by a necromancer and slowly transformed into an immortal. If you don't arrive in time, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

The captain of the guard glanced at the direction in which the corpse had disappeared, inserted his sword back into its scabbard, and said disapprovingly: "Such a weak undead, even if it can be resurrected indefinitely, it's useless, right? How much of a threat can it be if it's slow and has low defense?"

"The Undead...... It's not such a simple monster!" Priest Spike looked at the captain of the guard solemnly, "We were lucky enough to be able to kill it the moment it appeared! The Undead were quite weak when they were first created. But in just a few minutes, they can grow into quite powerful existences! Their single combat power is stronger than that of fully armed elite skeletons, plus they can be resurrected indefinitely, which is quite terrifying. Moreover, those killed by the undead will also be transformed into new undead, and if left unchecked, they will go on a killing spree until they destroy all living creatures they see. In other words, if we are negligent, there may be a tragedy of the undead slaughtering the city!"

"So scary?" the Captain of the Guard's pupils narrowed, "It's a good thing we came in time, and thankfully Pastor Spike is here." Anyway, the vampire and the necromancer appeared at the same time, and it seems that they should report to the city lord quickly!

"Not necessarily!" Priest Spike said, shaking his head, "The undead are powerful, but they can be created with only third-order undead magic. High-level vampires, on the other hand, generally think very highly of themselves and do not walk with necromancers and other creatures that are considered inferior. Therefore, the creator of this bloody case is probably the combination of low-level vampires and low-level necromancers. Also, what happened before, including the blacksmith Bartley, was killed outside at night and did not become undead...... If you are a powerful necromancer or vampire, there is no need to be so sneaky. That is to say......"

"In other words, the other party is just two clowns?" asked the captain of the guard immediately.

"Almost!" Priest Spike nodded, "but why did they come to the slums to kill people? Or are they just picking random targets?"

"Well, it's very likely. "Captain of the Guard," by the way, I heard that this adventurer named Darith Nom once picked up a dark core. ”

"That's right...... Priest Spike nodded, "for vampires, the choice of target is random. But for necromancers, the Dark Core can be very useful...... Especially beginner necromancers, they especially need this kind of thing!"

"It's definitely a beginner-level necromancer and a low-level vampire who committed the crime!" the captain of the guard said in a deep voice, "In that case, there is no need to report it to the city lord right away." Pastor Spike, can you help us catch these two sneaky people who are jeopardizing the safety of the city?

"According to your subordinates' reports, the other party should not be away for long. Maybe I can give it a try!" Priest Spike began to chant the incantation again, then cast his magic on the ground: "Detect evil!"

The captain of the guard looked nervously at Pastor Spike. The priest carefully inspected every corner of the hall before slowly walking up the stairs.

From their conversation, Jia Zhengjin learned that the dark demon core might be taken away by the necromancer. No wonder I couldn't find it. Seeing that Pastor Spike seemed to be able to track down the perpetrators, he immediately followed them up to the attic.

Priest Spike leads the way, slowly walking to a broken window, "The evil aura came all the way here, and then flew outside......!

"Can you find the direction in which they are fleeing?" asked the captain of the guard.

"It's too late!" Pastor Spike nodded slightly.

"Then what are you hesitating about, let's hurry and get those two evil guys back!" the captain of the guard quickly went downstairs and shouted to his subordinates.

Priest Spike chased the evil aura through the air, and the captain of the guard followed closely behind with dozens of guards, and the team marched out of the south gate towards a nearby mountain.

Jia Zhengjin, who was in a state of stealth, followed closely behind, running all the way with the team, advancing along the winding mountain road.

On the way, when entering the relatively dense jungle, a team of fierce beasts rushed out. These strange creatures, which look a bit like black wolfdogs, but have no ears or hair, and are slick and slick, causing considerable distress to the guards.

As soon as the battle began, many guards were wounded and fell. Thankfully, Pastor Spike treats them, and the captain of the guard fights to kill the monsters and finally pass safely.

Jia Zhengjin, who was following them, of course, watched the whole play and was not ready to make a move.

His goal was to retrieve the dark core, and he didn't want to get into any other trouble.

Reaching the top of the hill, while all the guards were out of breath, Pastor Spike finally discovers that the end of the evil aura is a cave hidden behind a mess of rocks.

"Inside!" Pastor Spike said, turning back and lowering his voice, "there's more evil in the cave!"

"It's really cunning to hide in such a hidden place. The captain of the guard immediately ordered, "Thank you so much, Pastor Spike, I wouldn't have had a chance to do anything without your help!"

"Wait!" Priest Spike hurriedly stopped, "Don't be impulsive, since that necromancer can create undead, I'm afraid the cave will be quite dangerous." So, I'll cast a light shield for everyone first, and weaken the power of the undead as much as possible! After entering, you must also pay attention to cover me, the undead can only be destroyed through light magic!"

"Got it, did you hear that, and when you got in, you did what Pastor Spike said!"
