With Mo Fan the mad dog taking the lead, the battle is going to be a lot easier,
Zhao Manyan murmured.
Mo Fan was able to disrupt the Poisonous Golden Mummy’s formation all on his own. As long as the Poisonous Golden Mummies were not releasing their deadly poison simultaneously, the others would no longer need to flee for their lives.
Following Mo Fan’s lead, the others proceeded to cast Advanced Spells to butcher the Poisonous Golden Mummies.


The Poisonous Golden Mummies were different than most undead. They did not have hardened flesh to protect them, nor muscular limbs. Their fighting capacity was fairly average once their poison was unable to work as expected.
As a result, it was the national team’s turn to chase after the Poisonous Golden Mummies. The Poisonous Golden Mummies desperately tried to find a safe spot to release their poison, but the members of the national team were bold and unstoppable, especially Mo Fan, Ai Jiangtu, and Mu Ningxue!
Mo Fan was immune to the poison. He simply went ahead and killed every creature he stumbled into to collect the Soul Remnants. Ai Jiangtu’s powerful Space and Curse Elements were incredibly effective against the Poisonous Golden Mummies. Mu Ningxue used her Wind Element as defense and Ice Magic as her weapon. Her icy figure wove through the Poisonous Golden Mummies with ease.

Look, there’s a signal coming from that direction,
someone said pointing to the back of the hill.

It seems to be the squad that was engaging the undead there, it looks like they are requesting backup… the poisonous mist has completely entrapped them there.


Those idiots, they really had to come here and trouble us. We are having a blast over here!


Go rescue them, they are risking their lives to fight still,
Nanyu ordered.
—
Left with no choice, the team cleared a path toward the position of the squad, helping them clear an escape route.



Speaking of which, do they seriously not have a brain to charge into the poisonous mist like that?


Enough grumbling, huh, where did Mo Fan go?


What? Didn’t he come with us?


Forget about him, he’d still be alive even if we all died here.


At the center of the main army, protected by a square consisting of four Water Curtains, General Fenna frowned when she saw the signal requesting for backup as she lifted her gaze.

General, they are in trouble, they are asking for backup,
a captain said.

Continue forward!
General Fenna said coldly.

But what about them…


I said continue forward!
General Fenna’s eyes flickered decisively, with no room for negotiation.


Captain Lowar no longer dared to mention rescuing the squad. As a matter of fact, he did feel that Captain Wankos was too reckless with his approach.

Captain Wankos’ troop is trapped. We have lost a vanguard squad, and a bunch of Brutal Sword Death Servants is holding the high ground. They are like swordsmen in full armor. They slice our Mages into pieces when we try to get closer. If we don’t clear a path through the formation of the Brutal Sword Death Servants, we might find ourselves in a pinch, as the Brutal Sword Death Servants are too tough for our army!
Commander Lowar said grimly.
General Fenna fell silent.
Initially, General Fenna was planning to let Captain Wankos’ squad take on the Brutal Sword Death Servants, but the man believed the poison was their biggest threat, so he had gone AWOL to take out the Poisonous Golden Mummies…

I’ll take care of them,
General Fenna said in a deep voice.

No way; if you are already using your energy during the second advance, how are we going to reach our final destination?
the other vice generals yelled in disagreement.
General Fenna was the main commander of the army, and she was also a Super Mage, too.
Currently, only three Super Mages were available to be sent to Puccini City. One of them was keeping watch in Puccini City, another one would be leading the troop from the Magic Association to launch the final assault once the main army was close enough to the pyramid. The three Super Mages had their own roles to fulfill. If any of the Super Mages needed to expend their energy at such an early stage, it would mean they had to change the plan accordingly, making it harder to achieve their goals!

That’s the only way we have now, we’ll try to make up for it later… send out my order, ask everyone to continue forward. We must take the high ground in twenty minutes!
General Fenna said.

Yes… Affirmative!




On the high ground, a Mage who kept on detonating himself when coming into contact with the undead was chasing after more than ten Poisonous Golden Mummies on his own.
The Poisonous Golden Mummies kept fleeing toward the high ground, so the violent Mage ended up going on a relentless chase. After using Giant Shadow Spikes to immobilize the Poisonous Golden Mummies, he was finally able to slay the undead and retrieve their Soul Remnants.

Huh, where are the others?
Mo Fan turned around and realized Mu Ningxue, Jiang Shaoxu, Ai Jiangtu, Nanyu, and the others were gone. The number of Poisonous Golden Mummies behind him had decreased significantly, too.

Did I go the wrong way?
Mo Fan smiled wryly.
It was all because of a Poisonous Golden Mummy that kept on running away from him. Mo Fan had never seen an undead as capable at running away as it. It took him quite some time to hunt it down. He even ended up straying away from the path.
As Mo Fan was about to go back the same way, he suddenly discovered human-sized undead that looked like they were fully covered in black paint appearing from behind a giant boulder nearby.
The undead were pitch-black, including their skin and the armor they were wearing. Even the swords they were holding were black! Only their eyes had an eerie red glow, with a strong murderous intent!

What kind of undead are these? I’ve never seen anything like them. They might actually drop some useful loot!
Mo Fan was immediately provoked by the murderous gaze of the undead.
The pitch-black undead that resembled swordsmen moved forward in a strange way. Their movement was unpredictable, yet it was not hovering above the ground like a ghost, but with impressive might. One came up to Mo Fan and slashed forward in the shape of a cross. The sharp, black swords reflected an icy light as they were wielded by the creature!


Mo Fan immediately threw his fist forward when he saw the creature attacking, trying to subdue violence with violence!
Lightning flickered wildly as Mo Fan’s fist swept forward in the air. The formidable lightning produced by Qianjun crashed into the shockwave of the dark slash!
