Chapter 54: Land of the Dead
After making arrangements for the sister he had picked up for free, Ma Yingjie and the withered Bauhinia continued their journey to the Dead Mountains.
When they were approaching the teleportation array, Yueyue insisted on going with them, saying that Ma Yingjie was her sun and the withered bauhinia was her moon. Without the sun and the moon in the sky, there would only be one star left, and she didn't want to be helpless, so she wanted to be an enterprising little star who chased the sun and the moon.
In response to this, the withered redbud flower said one sentence, which put out the raging fire in the little girl's heart: "We came back with the compass scroll. If you can run away by yourself, it's up to you."
Hearing the words of the withered Bauhinia, Yueyue's little mouth opened and tears began to flow. When a woman cries, it's like a flood. This is what the landlubber Ma Ying-jeou fears the most.
"Xiao Wei, you take care of her these few days. Remember to take good care of her." The withered Bauhinia turned and said to the Wild Rose. Hearing the words of the withered Bauhinia, the little girl burst into tears and hid backwards desperately, as if she was avoiding some ferocious beast.
"I understand, big sister. I will definitely protect her well." When Wild Rose heard that Withered Bauhinia would leave Yueyue to her, she happily patted her chest to make the promise.
After handing five gold coins to the old man guarding the teleportation array, the figure of the withered Bauhinia disappeared in the white light.
Ma Yingjie, who watched the whole process, blinked his eyes. No wonder it could be used unlimited times. It only cost a few gold coins to use the teleportation array, but it cost five gold coins to teleport once with this damn thing.
With a sigh in his heart, Ma Yingjie was directly teleported to the coordinates specified by the ring.
A flash of white light passed by, and Lu Hao appeared on the Damir grassland, looking at the blue sky and green grass with a happy mood.
After a period of system restoration, the place that was originally burned was covered with weeds again, and the corpses of the jackals disappeared without a trace after the system refreshed.
It was just that the last time they did it too thoroughly, the jackals' refresh hadn't kept up, so within Ma Yingjie's sight there were only a handful of jackals wandering around, their postures leisurely and comfortable, without any of the previous frenzy.
"Drip!"
System prompt: The withered redbud flower wants to talk to you, do you accept?
"accept."
Just as I confirmed my acceptance, the voice of the withered redbud came from the communicator: "Where are you? Why can't I see you?"
"Look behind you." Lu Hao looked at a slender figure vaguely visible not far away. Who else could it be but the Withered Bauhinia? Because of clearing out the jackals, the coordinates he set were offset from those of the Withered Bauhinia.
The view of the withered Bauhinia flowers was blocked by the water plants more than one meter high, so Ma Yingjie could not be seen.
Hearing what Ma Yingjie said, the withered Bauhinia turned around and looked over. Its sight passed over where Ma Yingjie was, but it continued to look elsewhere.
Helplessly, Ma Yingjie stretched out his arm and waved at the withered redbud flower. The withered redbud flower then noticed Ma Yingjie's presence and rushed towards him.
"How did you choose the place so well?" The withered Bauhinia came over and complained while looking at the high ground under her feet. There was something wrong with her altitude. The place chosen by Ma Yingjie could just block the sight of the withered Bauhinia.
"I just picked it randomly. This place is higher and it would be easy to hide here if there's a flood." Ma Ying-jeou lied in his heart. Anyway, the withered Bauhinia wouldn't believe it, and he wouldn't have to bear the crime of deceiving her.
"Hmph." The withered Bauhinia turned around angrily, with its back facing Ma Yingjie, obviously not wanting to talk to him anymore.
"Let's hurry up, otherwise we won't be able to leave the Damir Prairie before dark." Lu Hao said as he walked forward.
The withered redbud flower was stunned for a moment before following. In this situation, the Necromancer's speed defect was once again reflected, and he was left behind by the withered redbud flower in just two or three steps.
Ma Yingjie was depressed and cried out that it was unfair to God. Why was he so much slower than the other players in the long-range class?
"High Priest Finland, I hate you. As a representative of mages, it's okay that you have a poor physique, but why is your speed so bad?" Ma Yingjie began to vent his anger on this priest who was completely opposite to him.
"Xiao Hei, when will you grow up?" Lu Hao looked at Xiao Hei who was sleeping soundly in the Fantasy Beast Space. After eating enough wolf meat, this guy crawled into the Fantasy Beast Space and went to sleep comfortably. This was the first time that Lu Hao saw the little thing so obedient.
If you have to walk across such a large map as the Chinese area, the time wasted on the road alone can earn you many levels.
After passing the area that was cleared by Ma Yingjie, the jackals in front began to spawn again. Withered Bauhinia drew her bow and arrows, gradually torturing the jackals with certainty. She also summoned flamingos to assist in the attack.
While summoning skeletons on the jackal's corpse, Lu Hao felt sorry for the vegetation here. The flamingo's attack was really damaging to the environment. No matter what, he would spit out fire as soon as he saw the jackal.
After walking for a long time, after the Black Knight shot the low-health jackal away, Ma Yingjie received a system prompt and a kind warning.
System prompt: You have entered the Land of the Dead. The levels of the monsters that spawn here are much higher than yours, so be extra careful.
In the dim sky, the sun was trying hard to spread its light to the earth. But it all seemed in vain. The black fog in the sky was like a solid and insubstantial barrier, firmly blocking the sun's brilliance.
A chilly wind was blowing, and Ma Yingjie sniffed the fishy smell in the air. The muscles on his face gathered together, forming a big "川" character on his eyebrows.
The boundless land was charred black. Upon closer inspection, one could see some broken bones sticking out of the soil, and even some disgusting maggots wriggling around, which almost made Ma Yingjie vomit.
Looking at the suddenly changed environment, Ma Yingjie felt a little uncomfortable. Just now there were green grass and gentle breeze, but in the blink of an eye, it turned into the current lifeless scene.
Apparently, the withered Bauhinia flower also felt the harsh environment around it, and vomited out: "Damn it, which bastard made this map? It's disgusting."
The withered bauhinia flowers began to curse in authentic Chinese language while spitting out their petals.
After a long time, probably because everything that could be vomited was vomited out, the withered Bauhinia turned its head and glanced at Ma Yingjie: "It's getting late, let's just stay here today."
If Lin Zhifei was here, he would definitely hear this sentence as: "It's getting late, let's rest here today, 笯." Of course, an upright person like Ma Yingjie would not have heard it wrong. Ma Yingjie's hearing is much better than his eyesight, which is also due to long-term street fights. It can be seen that fighting and being a hooligan are not without benefits.
"Okay." Ma Yingjie said helplessly. It was still nearly two hours until the evening in the mouth of the withered Bauhinia. However, the environment here was too bad for a woman. Even Ma Yingjie had to force himself not to vomit.
Although the sky here is very dim, even when the sun is shining brightly, it is just like the evening in other places, but the night and day can still be distinguished.
"Damn it, it's better not to let the players know which bastard made this map, otherwise you're dead." Ma Yingjie cursed. The game doesn't have to be so realistic. It's like a cemetery. How can people still play it?
Now you should start sneezing constantly. As your player level increases, when a large number of people come to this place, your relatives will definitely be greeted by many people."
The withered Bauhinia flowers fell offline directly. Although Ma Yingjie was very disgusted with the environment here, he still continued his adventure.
Looking at the undead creatures swimming not far away, Ma Yingjie directly sent out a probe.
[Shattered Warrior] (Common monster) The soldiers of the Shattered King of the Underworld. After the Shattered King's rebellion failed, his subordinates were defeated by Satan's army of 30,000 knights. Most of them were annihilated. A small number of Shattered Warriors escaped here and gradually replaced the original creatures to become the new masters here.

Ma Yingjie cast a Weakness spell at the Shattered Warrior, successfully attracting the Shattered Warrior's attention.
Feeling that his dignity was challenged, the Shattered Warrior roared, raised the giant sword in his hand, and rushed towards Ma Yingjie like a whirlwind.
