A harsh wind was blowing in your face.

Fang Qiuling looked down at the village that had turned into a scorched earth, and sighed silently in his heart.

This is already the fifth village in the southern part of the Ring Lake Avenue. The first two villages were still inhabited, while from the third onwards, there were only collapsed houses and patches of scorched earth.

The village was littered with traces of fighting, with dry bloodstains, but no bodies. What this means is very clear to Fang Qiuling.

Glancing at the village again, Fang Qiuling pulled the reins and motioned for the griffin under his crotch to whirl to the right. Behind him, the white Pegasi followed.

- Brother Thulick, why don't we go down and have a look?

The timid voice of the little cat girl sounded in her heart. Eliza's first Pegasus ride has a lost fear of heights.

- No. The terrain in the village is too complicated, and it is still impossible to go down for safety reasons.

- That's ...... Because there may be an ambush in the village?

- Yes, the undead are very good at ambushes.

Humans need to breathe, they need food to keep them fed, and they need clothing to keep them warm. Therefore, in the winter when the snow has not melted, a long-term ambush is basically impossible, and the cold alone is enough to cause heavy losses to the ambush troops. But the undead are different, they don't need to breathe, they don't eat, and the cold is only a slight inconvenience to them. As a result, the undead can remain motionless for long periods of time, and can even dig a pit to bury themselves for camouflage.

The village below was charred and blackened, and there seemed to be no sign of biological activity at all. However, as long as you open the scorched earth at the top, I believe that nine times out of ten, one or more skeletons and zombies will jump out.

The commanders of the armies of the undead usually do not like to use their brains, and are accustomed to forcing their advances with absolute number priorities. However, they are accustomed to burying low-level skeletons and zombies underground in every village. This simple arrangement was also not intended for ambush, but as an early warning. It's just that they have always had some kind of misunderstanding about the unit of measurement, and they are often buried too much if they are not careful......

- Oh! Good.

Eliza is smart. Fang Qiuling just said that it was not safe below, and she immediately thought of an ambush.

- Alright, we're ready to go home. This direction is fine for the time being.

- Yes! Brother Thulick.

The griffon and Pegasus quickly made a U-turn in the air. As they completed their U-turn, two small dots appeared in the northwestern sky, followed by a long chirp. The griffin that Fang Qiuling sat down also replied with a long song.

It's Franz the griffon knight and Tom Sr., the temporary guest rider. The two of them seemed to be far apart, but they appeared in front of them in a moment. The three griffons and a Pegasus soon converged, and then drove east side by side.

- Franz, what's going on with you?

- Lord Dailord, the village to the north is completely destroyed! There are also sporadic skeletons and zombies roaming the village, but no large troops have been found.

- It's daytime, and the large army of the undead likes to be active at night.

After a few simple words in sign language, Eliza's vigilant voice came through the psychic link.

- Brother Thurik! Look on the left, there's a big monster...... No, it's a bunch of big monsters coming out!

Fang Qiuling's gaze immediately swept down, and several ugly big guys immediately came into view.

These big ugly guys have hideous and ugly faces, fat and tall bodies. They walked slowly out of the collapsed houses, holding huge butcher's knives and thick chains.

It's a stitching monster. Judging by their appearance, they are not elite undead creatures named "Abomination", but inferior products cobbled together from a mess of corpses at Zero Hour.

Fang Qiuling recognized this kind of monster between low-level and middle-level undead at a glance, and his brows couldn't help frowning slightly. And Eliza, who was the first to spot these monsters, gasped.

- Brother Thurik, this—this monster is a pile of corpses! I saw...... The corpses in the village are gone, so I guess they won't become these monsters!

Eliza is not only intelligent, but also imaginative. Although she had never seen a stitching monster, she was a prophecy.

- That's right, these monsters are all cobbled together from corpses! Okay, watch out below, raise the height first.

- Yes, Brother Thulick!

Fang Qiuling tugged at the reins to signal the griffin to fly up, and at the same time used sign language to signal Franz and Old Tom.

Franz and Tom Sr. didn't understand why they were going to raise height, but they did it anyway. After a few moments, they knew why.

The ugly stitch wheeled the chain like a windmill and threw it out, sending black chains straight up from below. A slight flicker of cold light could be seen at the top of the flying chain, which was a large anchor hook that had opened the edge!

Without the rider's command, the griffons and Pegasi began to take the initiative to avoid it. In fact, they don't need to dodge, because of their height, the chains don't reach enough height to start falling like stray arrows that have exhausted their kinetic energy.

Stitching monsters' attacks were fruitless, and landed completely in the void.

Come and don't be rude! Franz, the griffon knight, was not one to fight back, so he immediately took out a spear and threw it down.

The fiery red spear, with the power of throwing and the bonus of gravity, was instantly pierced into the body of a stitching monster who had not yet retracted the chain. With a "boom" explosion, the upper body of the Stitching Monster exploded completely, and the bright red flames that ignited immediately turned the Stitching Monster into a walking fireball.

With a successful blow, Franz pulled out a throwing gun again, trying to attack again. But before the second spear could be dropped, it was stopped by a long griffon's chirp.

He raised his head and saw that Fang Qiuling, who was not far away, was making sign language, meaning not to attack. A moment later, Fang Qiuling's words sounded in his heart.

- Mr. Franz, stop attacking. We left as soon as possible to join the large force.

- Why, Lord Norn?

- We don't have a lot of supplies to carry, so don't waste it on these guys.

The Storm Bolt is a consumable item, and demonized metal is required in the production process, which is not easy to replenish. It can't be said to be overkill when it comes to dealing with stitching monsters, but there are obviously places that are more suitable for the power of the Storm Bolt. So don't waste it on the stitching monsters.

- Yes, Lord Norn.

Franz was obviously aware of the problem of replenishing the Storm Bolt in his hand after he ran out, and put away the second Pitcher with a slightly ugly face.

As soon as he stopped a partner's wasteful behavior, Fang Qiuling heard a shout full of vitality from the channel in his heart.

- Wow!

Turning around, a blue-blue electric current fell like a whip, striking the falling chain. The electricity flowed down the chain, and in an instant, it reached the stitching monster holding the chain. I saw blue sparks overflowing, and large scorch marks instantly appeared on the body of the stitching monster, and the body swayed as if it could fall to the ground at any time.

However, until the chains fell to the ground with a dull sound, the stitchers began to wave the chains again and prepared to attack again, and the stitching monster, which had been significantly blackened by the electricity, did not fall.

It should be that the power of the current is not enough. If the power of the current is the strongest, it should be able to kill this stitching monster directly! Can you do that...... No need to guess, it must be Eliza!

Fang Qiuling turned his head, and immediately saw a cyan blue streamer blooming in Eliza's hand. The streamer was like a pair of beautiful gloves, wrapping Eliza's little hands along with her arms.

The little catwoman muttered and waved down again, and the blue streamer turned into a bolt of lightning and fell in an instant.

But...... This time, without the iron chain as a conduction, the current decays extremely quickly, and it disappears before it hits the ground. This made Catwoman's mumbled mouth even higher, and then she waved her hand again, and another bolt of lightning fell. But it still didn't fall to the ground and disappeared. And then again......

Eliza's spell-casting ability made Fang Qiuling's eyes light up. Before you know it, the little cat girl has touched the threshold of a low-level wizard, and lightning spells are at her fingertips, and the spell casting process and spell control are quite good. Academic wizards of the same realm may not be as proficient as Eliza in spells. The power from the bloodline is indeed speechless, and it is worthy of being a ruthless person who was known as the "thunder and lightning master" in later generations!

Of course, Catwoman is now extremely inexperienced in combat, and will only bombard with spells constantly. It was neither efficient nor a waste of magic power, and Fang Qiuling could only shake his head at this

Dropped several more lightning spells. The lightning turned into an electric whip and became bigger and bigger each time, but because of the distance, there was no result at all. The distance certainly makes Stitching Monster's stunt "Barb" completely ineffective, but it also makes the lightning spell wear out quickly in the air.

- Eliza, don't waste your magic. You can't hit them.

- Oh......

In fact, there was no need for Fang Qiuling to remind her, Eliza herself found out. Even if she was riveting, the lightning was a long way away from being able to reach the ugly big fat men on the ground, which made Catwoman a little angry. It scared her a lot when the chains rose to the sky just now, and her heart was still pounding a little now!

- Distance is very important for the caster, and it is important to know how far and how far you can be in the area of your spell.

- Uh-huh......

You can see that the hood on the top of Eliza's head has collapsed slightly, and it should be that her ears are drooping. Every time she is trained, the kittenwoman's ears will be folded for the first time, and when she is angry, she will also fold them. So Eliza's mood is best guessed, just look at the vertical ears.

Fang Qiuling paused slightly, and then continued to summarize in the Mind Link.

- Check your progress when you get back. If it meets the requirements, I can teach you a technique to extend the range of the spell.

- Ugh! Not? Are you sure?

Eliza's little hood immediately arched, and unsurprisingly her ears stood up again.

I thought I would be trained, but I didn't expect that there would be new spell skills to learn after the training - it's really amazing!

Eliza is no longer the kitten charm who didn't understand anything when she first met Fang Qiuling. She now knows how precious the knowledge of the occult is.

- True, of course.

- Brother Shulick, don't lie!

- Of course I don't lie to you. Lie to you and I'm ...... I'm a kitten, I'm a puppy. I'm Maru!
