Chapter 100: Undercurrent, One Year

 after returning to the ancient capital a year ago, Zhang Chenran first reported to the academy.

  Then he quickly found Han Tiancheng at the academy's commission acceptance office.

  "For this mission, the academy did not recruit people like last time, but issued a task similar to the commission.

  Of course, in addition to the academy, other forces are also the same. With the experience of the Magic Road ruins,

  all forces have begun to pay attention and sent masters to investigate, and the original support mission has become a search for the root of the dead air."

  Han Tiancheng took the opportunity to explain to him while waiting for his teammates.

  "Is there any different news from your uncle?" Zhang Chenran asked.

  Han Tiancheng shook his head:

  "This time there is no sign of what happened last time, and nothing can be investigated with just this little information, but similar situations should appear again."

  It will happen again. Zhang Chenran glanced at the task on the screen and turned away.

  ...…

  The root of the evil in the Chang'an Guard District was quickly resolved. The number of corpse ministers that appeared this time was not as many as that of Qin Zhi Magic Road, but it was stronger than last time.

  The masters sent by the major forces also lost a lot, but the result was still good.

  The biggest hidden danger was eliminated, and Chang'an Wei District also returned to normal.

  Just when everyone thought they could return to their normal lives, a large amount of dead air also appeared in a mountain villa to the west.

  This situation has rarely happened in the history of the ancient capital, and it made everyone panic.

  The pressure on the major forces doubled, and while clearing the undead, they were also investigating this strange thing.

  But it was still fruitless.

  After hunting down the corpse minister, the dead air was eliminated, and there was no way to investigate any useful information.

  For a time, the topic of the undead kingdom changing the undead ruler from time to time was also pushed to a climax.

  "This undead land has changed a brutal ruler, and it seems that he wants to take back everything that belongs to it!"

  "Tsk, it doesn't matter whether it changes or not, as long as it dares to come, I dare to kill it!"

  "Come on, you brag every day, the undead don't know whether the ruler of the undead empire has changed or not, but you know it first."

  The topic caused everyone to discuss.

  And this discussion lasted for more than a year!

  ...…

  "How is the situation over there, are you okay?" Jiang Yinyun's worried voice came from the phone.

  "Don't worry, I'll be fine, but I'll have less time to spend with you during this holiday." Zhang Chenran said.

  "As long as you're fine."

  The two exchanged a few pleasantries and hung up the phone.

  "Have you found a girlfriend?"

  Zhou Min listened to the conversation between the two, and the gossip spirit in his heart was ignited.

  "Not really." Zhang Chenran said.

  "What do you mean not really? That girl is not in the ancient capital?"

  "In the demon capital."

  "Then you two will be very uncomfortable."

  "."

  "It's getting dark, be prepared."

  Mu Bai reminded the two people who were chatting.

  In this year, Zhou Min broke through to the intermediate level of magician and mastered the intermediate level of fire magic.

  Mu Bai also broke through to the intermediate level of plant magic, and became an intermediate level magician of both ice and plant magic.

  Relying on his strong ice talent, coupled with the assistance of plant magic, he also made a good name for himself in the ice department of the ancient capital academy.     Because the area around the ancient capital would occasionally have dead air.

  All the major forces would send active members to support.

  It happened that the three people from Bo City were assigned to perform the task together.

  "How many times has this dead air appeared? A few corpse ministers would pop out to cause trouble at any time, like cockroaches that can't be killed. It's really disgusting." Someone in the team complained. "

  That's right. I don't know what these undead spirits are crazy about. People can't even have a peaceful rest time."

  "Don't complain. Although the risk is high, the resources given by the association are also high. If we work hard, we may be promoted to a dual-system intermediate mage."

  "."

  There were five intermediate teams of ten people present.

  Everyone's task was to guard Taonan Village and prevent the undead from approaching.

  Wait for the high-level masters to deal with the corpse ministers who are causing trouble before they can finish their work.

  In the past, these places were guarded by mages, but now a large amount of dead air is sweeping, and the mages guarding here cannot easily deal with it.

  Just like the first time Qin Zhi's magic appeared, the dead air attacked, called for help, and cleared the corpse ministers.

  Zhang Chenran had done similar tasks countless times in this year.

  It would be fine if there were no commander-level undead in a certain area.

  I'm afraid that the ancient capital of Tianzhi would suddenly erupt, and all the territories outside the city wall would fall into riots due to the dead air. That would be really terrible.

  ...…

  Everyone had a relatively easy time in the first half of the night, and only six corpse generals appeared.

  In the second half of the night, the number of undead made everyone almost unable to cope.

  Fortunately, Zhang Chenran was able to kill hundreds of undead in an instant, sharing most of the pressure for everyone, and survived the largest wave of undead.

  "Zhang Chenran, what level have you reached in your two systems?" Zhou Min asked,

  "The shadow system is only fully cultivated at the intermediate level, and the space system has just broken through the intermediate level three." Zhang Chenran did not hide it and told the truth.

  In addition, his summoning system has also reached the intermediate level three, and the curse system is still a little short of the intermediate level three.

  He didn't put much effort into the Curse System. He hadn't used it many times since he awakened.

  He couldn't use it openly, and he didn't need it secretly.

  Over time, he neglected the Curse System, which resulted in the Shadow System being fully intermediate, but the Curse System not even breaking through the intermediate level 3.

  "Intermediate level 3? Are you kidding? I haven't even touched the threshold of the intermediate level 2, and you're almost fully intermediate in both systems!"

  Zhou Min's devilish heart collapsed, and he looked frustrated: "Is this the gap with the "unprecedented first in the ancient capital"?

  "Mu Bai's talent is not bad either. He has broken through the intermediate level 2 of the Ice System for a long time."

  Zhang Chenran pulled Mu Bai out and tried to share the hatred value for himself.

  "How can I compare with you!" Mu Bai said unhappily.

  Whether it was Zhang Chenran or Mo Fan, he was more or less unwilling to be left behind by the two.

  Zhang Chenran's reputation in the ancient capital was well known to everyone, and he naturally knew it very well.

  Mo Fan also seemed to be labeled as the "big devil" in Mingzhu Academy.

  But whether he was famous or notorious, the achievements of both of them were beyond his reach.

  "Has that hill appeared before?" A mage in the team pointed at the villa and said unavoidably.

  Everyone looked at it and looked puzzled.

  "Is that hill shaking?"

  "Did you see it too? I thought I was the only one with dazzled eyes!"

  Not knowing whether it was their own visual error, everyone felt that the white "hill" seemed to be shaking left and right.

  Zhang Chenran looked at his teammates speechlessly and explained:

  "That's not a moving mountain, it's a corpse minister!"
