Versatile Mage: Soul and Demon Dual Cultivation

However, the short man behind him walked over, a lewd smile spreading across his face as he approached the two.

“Hey, Shorty, where did you find this woman?” Mo Fan couldn't resist his curiosity and asked as the short man came up.

“She said she wanted to come here and was more generous with the money than you, so I brought her along!” the short man said directly, his eyes sneaking a glance at the woman in black stockings as he spoke. His eyes immediately flashed with lust, and he gave Mo Fan a knowing smirk that all men would understand. “What’s wrong, has your soul been hooked too?”

Mo Fan said, “I was just asking!”

Lin Chen's lips twitched. He didn't bother with the short man at all. To be so short and still have such delusions... he didn't know where the short man got his courage. Instead, Mo Fan and the short man chatted idly.

Facing Lin Chen's disdain, the short man didn't care. Having been around for so long, the short man had already discerned from Mo Fan's behavior that Lin Chen was not someone to be trifled with.

… …

“It's almost dark. When will we reach the village?” After a long time, the sky gradually darkened, and Lin Chen couldn't help but ask.

“It's autumn now, the nights are long and the days are short. Have some culture, will you!” the short man retorted.

As dusk approached, in this season of long nights and short days, it was estimated that the sun would be sneaking into his wife's dark bed by just after five o'clock.

This silence before nightfall easily made people uneasy. Even Lin Chen felt a little uncomfortable. After all, the land was so vast, who could guarantee that they weren't stepping on the territory of a large group of undead?

At this moment, the value of the guide was demonstrated. “Here, eat this!” The burly man took out something gray and garlic-like from the package on his back. This person was strong, but he seemed to be an ordinary person, with no magical aura and also seeming to lack the vitality of an ordinary person.

“There's food? You should have said so earlier, I'm starving…” Mo Fan's personality was naturally outgoing. Seeing the burly man handing out local specialties, he immediately took one.

Lin Chen's lips curled up slightly. You pay money to hire a guide, and the guide invites you to eat gray garlic. When you think about it carefully, it's still bought with your money.

This gray thing looked a bit like a sweet potato and a bit like a large clove of garlic. Without thinking much, Mo Fan took a bite!

“Pfft…” The next second, Mo Fan spat out the thing in his mouth, scattering gray dregs all over the ground. “What did you give me to eat!” Mo Fan cursed angrily.

“This is gray garlic. It's used to cover up the vitality of the living. With it, the undead won't attack us. There's a limited amount of this stuff. You just spat one out. If you can't make it through tonight, you're on your own!” the short man immediately explained.

Mo Fan said with great integrity, “I'd rather have a good fight with the undead than eat something so disgusting!”

Lin Chen glanced at the gray garlic in his hand and smiled coldly. The gray garlic in his hand instantly disappeared, and a soul power shield that no one could see appeared around him. Lin Chen's soul power had a destructive aura that could isolate his own vitality. Although it consumed soul power, it was better than eating that disgusting gray garlic.

With Lin Chen's strength, his soul power had long been endless. Naturally, he was unwilling to suffer such hardship!

“Don't be so sure of yourself…” The short man signaled everyone to be quiet.

“Listen to what?”

“Underground, in the soil…”

Everyone quieted down. Sure enough, while the sky was still dim, the soil mixed with white sand under their feet showed signs of loosening…

At first glance, it looked like the vegetables and fruits that the farmers had worked so hard to plant were about to take root and sprout. But the solemn expression on the short man's face had already told everyone what was about to happen!!

“Gulp…”

The short man's Adam's apple moved noticeably.

Having been in this land of the undead for so many years, his heart couldn't help but beat violently every time night fell. Even if he wasn't in the ancient capital and flew to other cities, that uneasy panic would still appear at night.

“Quick, eat the gray garlic!” the short man urged everyone.

The woman in black stockings and her two companions didn't hesitate and ate the disgusting gray garlic in one bite.

Lin Chen also pretended to eat the gray garlic. Lin Chen's personality was still the same. Even though he already had powerful strength, he had his own set of rules wherever he went. He was used to hiding his abilities. Perhaps that was his nature. Only Mo Fan was still hesitating!

“Eugh awoo!!!!! Eugh awoo!!!!!!!!!!!!”

The sound of something filthy being read in his throat suddenly came from the soil. Mo Fan turned around and suddenly found a head full of maggots sticking out, its eyeballs drooping, and its chin also drooping…

“You think you can hurt your Grandpa Mo with this kind of thing!!!!!” Mo Fan didn't hesitate and kicked the undead's head!

Most likely, this head was also separated from its neck. This volley kick made the head draw an arc in the air and crash heavily into an exposed rock, splattering pulp everywhere.

At the same time, howls of “Eugh awoo~~” rose and fell one after another, spreading around. Suddenly, a large piece of soil cracked open, revealing a huge tomb less than ten meters away from Mo Fan.

The tomb must have been there for some years. The stone bricks were rotten beyond recognition. Inside, there were twenty or so half-corpses and half-skeletons lying in disarray. They seemed to have heard the call from the rolling head, and they suddenly crawled out of the tomb with bloodshot eyes.

These skeletons had blackened bones, mostly poisoned to death collectively. Looking at some of the tools scattered around them, they were probably the burial objects of some ancient general. Originally, Mo Fan thought that twenty or so were a lot, but who knew that there was another tomb tunnel under that tomb, and skeletons kept emerging from the tomb tunnel, each of them covered in blood and extremely terrifying!

Just as Mo Fan was about to take action, he suddenly realized that tombs were also appearing one after another around him… distributed on this small muddy land of less than a few hundred kilometers!

Groups of skeletons gathered like warriors, their eyes locking onto the only breathing Mo Fan here like stars. The spectacular terror made Mo Fan freeze.

“Actually, this stuff tastes pretty good when you chew it carefully!” As a wise man submits to circumstances, Mo Fan immediately picked up the gray garlic and took a bite, the expression on his face as ugly as it could be. No matter how disgusting it was, it was better than losing his life. Lin Chen smiled slightly. The Child of Fortune's attempt to show off failed!

The short man smiled disdainfully and glanced at the surrounding groups of skeletons, saying, “Let's get out of here quickly. This should be the tomb of some great minister. The number of burial objects and craftsmen is so large that it's comparable to the funeral of a monarch…”
