CHAPTER 123: CHAPTER 47 EXPLORER NEIGHBOR_2

"..."

Lin Rui decisively took her arm and pulled her away.

As her strength and loyalty increased, she became increasingly unruly.

Lin Rui’s hope for a hero to cleanse the atmosphere of the territory seemed to be dashed with Terion.

Audrey wasn’t afraid of this muscle bully. After all, she had an undead army at her command, a rare-level powerful summoning Silver Moon, and the core unit Snow White.

If Terion didn’t mobilize the territory’s army, it would indeed be challenging to suppress her.

After dividing forces with Audrey and Terion, Lin Rui led the troops swiftly westward.

With the death of the Tier Three Burrow Demon in the burial ground, the remaining roaming undead posed no threat to the knights.

Each roaming skeleton and zombie was directly crushed as the knights advanced on foot. Any wild creature blocking their path was swiftly cut down and dismembered. Neat and invincible.

"Lord, there’s a skeleton mage over there." Halfway through the advance, Audrey excitedly pointed at a hillside and shouted.

This little skeleton was a Tier Two Excellent-level mage, wearing a tattered mage hat and holding a white bone staff.

If this skeleton mage were destroyed and Audrey used undead magic to raise it, she could gain a Tier Two Ordinary-level skeleton mage or a Tier One Excellent-level ordinary mage.

Which one it would be depended on the level of the Undead Resurrection Skill and the summoner’s luck.

But regardless, it was a necromancer, a core component of the undead army.

Every powerful undead leader always had a large number of necromancers and liches below them to maintain a massive number of low-tier skeletons.

This was Audrey’s first encounter with a necromancer, so how could she not be excited?

Lin Rui glanced at the undead mage with its short legs trying to escape, waved his hand, and a Grip of Cyan Wave appeared in the air. The azure Water Element Hand grabbed it and lifted it into the air.

Audrey, surprised, looked at Lin Rui: "Can the Magic Hand be used like this?"

Lin Rui smiled, Grip of Cyan Wave had been upgraded to lv2, which not only increased its base damage but also made its use more flexible.

However, applying the Magic Hand so skillfully required high wisdom, usually a magical level only achieved by high-tier mages, capable of using the Magic Hand to move items and construct golems.

Lin Rui’s water element affinity had reached 110%, meaning he would have a 110% additional damage correction when casting water spiritual skills, as well as flexible use of water elements. Hence, coupled with his strong calculation ability, he could achieve such effects.

The little skeleton mage, standing only about 1.6 meters tall, was surrounded by knights around two meters tall, and even when raising its head humbly, it could only see their towering black shadows.

Silver Moon twirled its long blade, placing the edge against the little skeleton’s neck.

It was rumored that the undead were without emotion and felt no fear.

But reality seemed completely different. Under the pressure of a powerful soul, the little skeleton immediately offered its loyalty.

[Ding, your subordinate unit, the Black Queen’s Moonlight Apostle, successfully subdued an excellent-level wild skeleton mage, Ausere.]

Lin Rui poked Ausere with his magic staff and then poked the elite-level vampire Epeng, curiously asking, "Do they have thoughts?"

"Huh? Yes, yes. It’s just not very apparent, most of the time they only know killing. But elite-level and above souls become very strong, far more flexible than ordinary soldiers, capable of using tactics, ambush, and deceit. That’s why the undead have a reputation for being cruel and deceitful."

"Hey, hey? Lord, weren’t you thinking about them? Were you wondering if Snow White had feelings?"

"..." Who would have such a peculiar thought if you hadn’t mentioned it!

"Keep fighting!"

"Oh gosh, Lord, you should ask! If you ask, I’ll tell you." Audrey quickly clung to Lin Rui’s arm.

"Not interested, not that heavy taste."

"How is it heavy taste? Isn’t Snow White beautiful? Look at her slim waist, short skirt, big chest, straight legs, smooth and delicate skin, slightly cool and firm. Compared to a normal human girl, the only difference is whether she’ll respond to your actions. Just ask, I’ll tell you."

Lusen nodded heavily in agreement, "Lord, quickly ask, quickly ask."

Lin Rui, with a black line across his forehead, thought, "These two troublemakers! Corrupting the entire territory’s atmosphere."

"If you two are so idle, go find monsters for me! Don’t be causing trouble here."

"Okay, okay, okay. We’ll find. Hey? Lord, doesn’t that look like an eagle in the sky?"

Is it you, this sand eagle?

Lin Rui looked up and suddenly realized that there seemed to be a giant eagle-like creature hovering in the sky, and there was a knight riding it.

"Hey? Lord, it seems like something’s falling!"

"It’s a stone throw, disperse!" Lin Rui promptly picked up Audrey and leaped to the side.

Following the order, the knights of the territory quickly dispersed in all directions. Where they had stood, a stone throw the size of a rugby ball landed, creating a deep pit. Before they could closely examine it, the stone suddenly exploded, flames burst forth, and the burning fire continued to blaze upon the ground.

Such a novel method of attack, Lin Rui looked up at the giant eagle-like creature, and it was most likely a subordinate of the Blue Star Explorer. This was his first encounter with a compatriot from Blue Star, and it was very likely a neighbor. Just that this neighbor offered him a surprise gift with a bomb right away.

And on the giant eagle, a woman dressed in a white long skirt instantly tightened her entire body, hurriedly clasping the neck of the giant eagle beneath her and shouted, "Run! Run! Run!"

She could hardly believe her eyes, unable to detect any of the other’s attributes, only a series of question marks and an "Evaluation: Extremely Dangerous (Blood Red)." According to the intelligence from the world exchange channel, this meant that all the other’s attributes were over three times her own. This implied that the other could squash her as easily as a person could squash an ant.

When did such a powerful entity appear in this burial ground?

In the past, as long as she avoided the burrow demon, she could leisurely farm experience here with her soldiers.

How did she kick the iron plate today!

How could a human be mingling with an undead army? Aren’t there any principles to follow?

The goblin flame thrower behind her clutched her slender waist, trembling and saying, "I told you not to provoke them. Now we’re in big trouble."

"How was I to know they’d be this strong! Humans in this world are so powerful! No wonder they can withstand all kinds of demons and ghosts."

"What do you mean humans in this world, that’s an explorer like you!"

"What do you mean explorer? That’s an explorer! Have explorers become this strong already!?" The woman looked down, back to scrutinize, nearly fainting in shock, only to see that her Blue Star compatriot, evaluated as blood-red extremely dangerous, was sprinting madly on the ground, relentlessly pursuing her.

Is this even human?

Chasing a flying eagle with just legs.

To make it worse, when the other leaped into the air, the gap between both reached at least fifty meters, nearly nullifying the flight advantage of the eagle, and after pushing off a hill, it was jumping over a hundred meters.

"I advise you to land immediately. If I have to use spiritual magic to take you down, your safety won’t be so guaranteed."

A clear voice came from below, and the woman screamed, "What do we do, what do we do. He isn’t like the skeleton that can’t fight back. He looks like he can hit us. Should we keep fleeing or listen to him?"

"Go down, go down, listen to him, quickly go down! He can do spiritual magic. If he takes us down, we’ll fall and die!" The goblin behind her was so nervous, clutching the woman’s small arm, trembling.

Moments later, the giant eagle ascended to Lin Rui’s feet.

The woman on it jumped down with fear and trembling, and the Goblin Flame Thrower stood shivering beside, not daring to look directly at Lin Rui.
