Laqi tried hard to squat down, but still could not stop his body from being pulled towards the gate of the underworld step by step.

Fortunately, the skeletons and zombies seemed to be afraid of the black skeletons on his hand and dared not approach them. They were dragged into the gate of the underworld and were not attacked by the undead.

The dark passage of the underworld is filled with all kinds of undead spirits, and these restricted high-level undead spirits want to break through the barrier. They are unwilling to accept the control of the Death Leader and can only run to another exit to try their luck.

Unfortunately, even if someone escapes forcibly, it will turn into a flame, burning completely without any remaining. The life barrier of Goddess of Light is the greatest threat to the undead. It will give any deadly blow to the souls of any high-level undead who are trying to cross the barrier. This power is enough to melt any undead who is trying to escape from the underworld.

The higher the rank, the stronger the limiting power. This is also because low-level undead can enter and exit the gate of the underworld at will. The barrier is just to prevent high-level undead with self-thinking from escaping.

"Help... I don't want to die yet..." The little thief regretted it.

Why did he open that wooden box? If he had listened to Barr's warning, he would not have come to this point.

Unfortunately, there is no life in the deserted land of the sea of ​​death, and even the heartfelt repentance is useless. The mutual attraction of the Prison of the Underworld and the Key of the Earth drags Laqi into the dark passage bit by bit.

"cough……"

The dead environment of the underworld made Lazi unable to breathe, and his face quickly turned purple and red. After enduring a long and painful period of hypoxia, the little thief finally died of suffocation due to his greed.

Seeing that Laqi was soft enough to the ground, the ghost dragon, which was closer to one end, was about to swallow the key to the earth that was still in his hand, when a strong wind came from behind, it slashed to the ground.

The undead gave up a path, and saw the red dream demon constantly stepping on its four hard hooves as hard as iron. The black armored knight on its back held a black sword emitting turbid death breath, and the cloak formed by the dark blue fire kept burning. An invisible pressure spread around, causing the undead to retreat automatically silently.

No words or actions. The Black Knight just sat quietly on the back of the Dream Demon, but no undead dared to come forward to seize the key to the earth.

The Black Knight left the Dream Demon and walked to the thief's body, and took off the black skull from his left hand.

Looking at the open gate of the Underworld, the Black Knight walked towards the gate of the Underworld without any hesitation or fear. Just as he crossed the barrier, his body ignited an extremely gorgeous white flame.

There were also several high-level undead followed behind the Black Knight, trying to cross the barrier. But the brilliant fire of life corroded and melted their photophobic bodies. Amid the almost wailing roar, the bodies of these undead melted little by little. In the end, only the dark skeleton was left.

The black knight, the flames on its body were even more dazzling. He endured the life fire that could destroy an ordinary undead in an instant. Although every move was extremely difficult, it still moved towards the north step by step.

The undead who risked his life together turned into a pile of broken bones behind him, and the Black Knight was still moving forward firmly based on his persistent belief.

******************************

The opening of the gate of the Underworld not only felt it from the countries near the desert, but also the Church of Light, which is far away in the southern continent, also sensed it.

"Your Majesty! The emergency magical message from the Temple of Othops, the key to the earth has been stolen!!" Cardinal Cro rushed into the Pharaoh's dormitory in a hurry, but found that someone had already been earlier than him.

"Yuan, why are you..."

Yu'an, the great priest of the Great Hall of Saint Church, brought even more unfortunate news; "Just just received a message from the Eastern Continent, and the gate of the underworld was opened again." The emperor Isfair, who had just taken office for one year, looked out the window with a restless expression. Although it was sunny, his heart was covered with dark clouds.

"The Gate of the Underworld... is open? It's bad. The undead mages and lichs of the Death Leader will definitely take the opportunity to summon high-level undead. Your Majesty, we must be in the state of preparation. The Death Leader will definitely gather the undead army again to attack the Northern Continent. You should be familiar with the battle forty years ago. How many elites have died in the Light Church, and even the dragon clans who come to help..."

"Don't say it, I know it." Isfair stopped the cardinal from continuing to express his views; "In my name, all the sacred knights, high priests and sacred deacons, in addition to notifying King Fesia, they should also send envoys to various countries in the name of clearing the shadow of death, so as to absorb military strength as much as possible to deal with the upcoming army of undead."

"Then... what should you do about the night elf priest and the rebellious paladin?" Yu'an, who was in charge of the Great Hall, asked about the final ruling against the two.

"Former Paladin Sistale surrendered to the Dark, removed all his posts and reputations, and was included in the first-class wanted criminals, with a bounty of 300,000. The night elf priest Moya was the great priest, seducing the Paladin of Light to fall, and his crime was extremely evil. On top of the special-class fugitive, he would add a first-class wanted warrant and a bounty of 500,000. Whether alive or dead, he must seize the 'goddess'."

Andanes means "the way of danger".

This desert corridor, connected by fourteen oasis of different sizes in the desert, is the only way for merchants, mercenaries and fugitives to travel to the east and north.

Mercenaries and hunters occupied the vast majority of these oasis that coexisted with danger. Since the number of undead has increased, orcs have migrated to the more remote north.

Without greedy orcs, there were more merchants in Andanes Corridor. In order to avoid high tariffs, many merchants were more willing to take risks to follow this desert path.

Especially after the White Rose was controlled by the night elves, the undead rarely appeared near the Crescent Canyon. From the White Rose to the third oasis, Shastor, was safe, but the fifth and seventh oasis were more dangerous, because it was closer to the no-man's land, the undead often attacked these two oasis.

Therefore, both Mercenary and Hunter Guild have guilds in these two oasis, especially the Seventh Oasis Finger. The extremely high death rate has discouraged ordinary mercenaries.

Twenty-five years ago, a priest from the Church of Light voluntarily gave up his post in the wealthy imperial capital and ran to the poor Finger Oasis, helping the locals to drive away the disease and heal the wounds. He was deeply favored by merchants, mercenaries and pioneers.

People built a small chapel for him. Over the past twenty-five years, some pastors have voluntarily joined, and Finger Oasis has gradually developed into the largest inn on the Andadas Corridor.

The 15th day of the Dark Moon of the 3236th year

A team of soldiers and knights disguised themselves as soldiers and knights sneaked out of the western gate of the Ming Su imperial capital and rushed to Meili without stopping.

This team is not like ordinary business travelers who choose to go from Port Byron in Heisen, and go to the desert by White Rose and walk into the Andanes Corridor.

Prince Say Quentin Huyer, the sole heir of King Loud. Ten years ago, the old emperor of Ming Su bullied the weak when he was in power and threatened nearby countries with force to send their princes as hostages to Ming Su, in order to secretly control the neighboring countries.

Unexpectedly, after the death of the old emperor, his sons were not strong enough, and a civil war lasted for three years. After General Sears Merry failed in the battle, he returned to his territory, gathered a large number of supporters, led his army to the imperial capital Angelit. The emperor Gao Jia fled in a hurry. Finally, he hid in the territory of his father-in-law Duke Acaste to save his life. With his wife as the princess of the Holy Empire, Sears, who had royal aristocratic blood, naturally won the support of some nobles.

Gao Jia has a cowardly personality. If Duke Acaste had not managed everything for him, he would have been afraid that he would not have been on the throne of the emperor. Within three years, it caused public resentment. Sears' rebellion became support from the civilians and nobles of the imperial capital, and naturally took over a large area of ​​territory east of the imperial capital.

In this way, the Ming Su was divided and disintegrated by the three tribes. Although Sears occupied the most land, the neighboring country Onitro continued to attack border provinces and counties in the chaos, which really gave him a headache.

Just as Moya expected, he was attacked from both sides and could not cause trouble for Meili for a long time.

Relying on the civil strife in Mingsu, people from all over the country fled one after another. Prince Lou De disguised himself as merchants and finally got out of the city. As long as he could safely cross the Andanes Corridor and the ice-covered ice-covered area, he could return to his homeland that had been away for ten years.

After leaving the White Rose, it rushed for most of the day and finally reached the fifth oasis Dias.

Because the location is closer to the uninhabited area where the undead often appears, the Dias Oasis is different from the Finger. It is uninhabited and the merchants never spend the night here. The undead will emerge from the underground at night and attack the passing merchants. Therefore, the caravans try to pass through this area during the day, and would rather rest in the Fourth Oasis for one more night than to rush to the night, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.

The soldier walking in the front of the team first discovered that there was an unknown object not far from the oasis. After verification, the soldier confirmed that it was a person!

"Your Highness, there is a man lying on the sand in front of you. I don't know whether it's dead or alive. Should we send a team to explore?" Watson, the prince's attendant, suggested.

"Not good!" Knight Chief Clarry immediately rejected Watson's proposal; "What if it is a disguise of the undead? We do not have the Priest of Light and cannot deal with the undead, and we still lack experience. It is about to dark now, so why not bypass Dias and go directly to the Seventh Oasis."

"Clary, zombies and skeletons have low intelligence and cannot deceive humans by pretending to be dead. If that is not a dead person attacked by the undead, or a wounded person who encounters a sandstorm, do you want to see him die and not save him? Mr. Knight?" As a devout Light, Watson was very disgusted with Clary's cold-blooded behavior.

"You just believe that's not the undead?"

"Of course, ordinary undeads will never be exposed to the sun in such a hot day, and their bodies will melt like butter. If it is a legendary high-level undead with high IQ or a lich with a death leader, do you think it is necessary to use this method?"

"Okay, stop fighting, let's send someone to see, don't you know?" The prince had become accustomed to the two subordinates quarreling with each other. It would be a matter of one or two days if they were not in harmony. If that person is really alive and let them quarrel like this, the living person will become dead.

"Your Highness, you are still alive!"

The soldiers sent out rode their horses to the man in black who had been buried most of his body in yellow sand. After careful observation, they finally confirmed that the man was still alive.
Chapter completed!
