Chapter 128 - The Guardian of the First Emperor's Tomb! The Undead Mutate!

The aura of the Kun Well (the Well God) is concealed; the ancient royal bloodline of the tomb guardians grants them immunity from death; a closed survival strategy; and geographical isolation.

The undead hunt by sensing the life force of living beings, and the spring water carries a special death energy to harmonize the atmosphere.

The people of Weiju Village rely on spraying the Kunjing Spring into their houses and the surrounding area, using a special death aura to envelop the villagers and the bureau chief, thus concealing the breath of life.

In this situation, it's equivalent to activating an invisibility mode for the undead.

Of course, relying solely on the Kunming Well is not enough.

Because the Kunjing Spring has limited harmonizing abilities, it is extremely difficult for servant-level and warrior-level undead to detect it.

However, there is a chance of detection if there is strenuous exercise.

Moreover, the Kun Well spring will immediately lose its effectiveness once it leaves a dangerous village.

Anyone who consumes the Kun Well Spring will lose their protection in the Danger Village and become a target for the undead.

As for why it stops working once you leave the village, Serafina discovered after several attempts that the stealth effect of Kun Well decreases as you move further away from the wellhead after leaving its source.

The boundary of each dilapidated village is the highest range that the Kunjing Spring can reach.

This is actually closely related to the environment in which the Dangerous Village and the Undead Empire are located.

Covered by the Kunjing Spring for thousands of years, Weiju Village has long been isolated from the outside world.

Once you leave this barrier, the special death energy in Kunjing Spring will be contaminated by the death energy outside the Dangerous Dwelling Village, eventually causing the concealment effect to fail.

Besides the Kunjing Spring, the villagers of Weiju Village who live here are also quite remarkable.

The villagers of several dilapidated villages did not settle here by chance.

Their ancestors lived here with a special mission: to guard something.

Because their ancestors were ancient kings, namely the tomb keepers of Qin Shi Huang during the pre-Qin period.

They have lived here for generations to guard the tombs of the ancient kings.

The Ancient King was the founder of the Eastern Necromancer system and the king of the Eastern Necromancer Empire.

The necromantic magic controlled by the various undead nations surrounding the Egyptian pyramids today originated from the East.

In order to protect the lineage of tomb guardians from attacks by the undead empire after his death, the ancient king used the laws of the dead to grant them the blessing of immunity from undead attacks.

This is the fundamental reason why the villagers of Weiju Village have been able to thrive and multiply in the core area of ​​this undead empire for more than two thousand years without being wiped out.

Otherwise, if even a single commander-level undead were to pass by, they would all be wiped out by the undead's hunt.

Believe me, over such a long period of time, there must have been many commander-level undead passing by the vicinity of the village.

There are even quite a few monarch-level undead.

However, this blessing from the ancient king, which transcended the aura of the Kun Well Spring, has long since become fragmented over the past two thousand years.

Believe me, the number of people from the ancient royal family who were appointed to guard the tomb is definitely not limited to just a few in Weiju Village.

It would never be like it is now, where the strongest person in all the villages of Danger is only a mid-level mage.

How could this be worthy of the title of the Ancient King, who was a five-elemental forbidden spell mage in life and became the emperor of the undead empire after death?

Serafina deciphered the combined strength of the original Tomb Guardians from the murals and special animal hides in the Abyss of Sha.

Five forbidden spell-level mages, and several super-level mages.

Did these forbidden spell masters do it willingly in the first place?

The answer is yes.

According to records on animal hides and murals, the lineage of tomb keepers was absolutely loyal to the ancient king.

These people were all his personally trained loyal bodyguards who were absolutely devoted to him during his lifetime.

Furthermore, the ancient king built his tomb when his life was nearing its end, to facilitate the transformation from a living being to a dead one.

Whether in life or in death, the ancient king's soul is always his own; only his body has died.

So the Old King is still the same Old King.

Even if some of the assassins break free from the shackles of taming and develop their own independent consciousness, they will still not harbor any disloyal intentions.

After all, the ancient king is still alive in a sense!

The world changes, and nothing can withstand the erosion of time.

Even ancient kings who achieved immortality in some sense have vanished into the long river of history.

When the true ancient king was alive, he could also grant the lineage of tomb keepers more protection.

After the ancient king died once again, only the remnant soul of the ancient king's armor remained, focused solely on wielding the ancient king's power.

The eight deceased kings only obeyed the orders of the ancient king and clearly did not have much affection for the lineage of tomb guardians.

After all, by that time, the lineage of tomb keepers had multiplied for one or two thousand years, and each generation was worse than the last.

Of the original ancestors who were forbidden spellcasters, only Wei Jucun, a mid-level mage who is astonishingly talented, remains today.

If the eight deceased rulers had truly regarded the lineage of tomb guardians as their own, they would not have allowed the lineage to fall into such a state of desolation.

The current villagers of Weiju Village are just a group of pitiful people who are barely surviving in the heart of the Undead Empire and do not have the courage to abandon the teachings of their ancestors.

As for the remaining survival strategies and geographical isolation, they are self-explanatory and require no further explanation.

After more than an hour of rest and investigation, the short man and the strong man set off again at Asha's request.

This time, Asha'ruya didn't chat with Su Lan, which clearly showed that Asha'ruya's anger towards Su Lan hadn't dissipated.

Su Lan wouldn't deliberately lick it.

Asha's personality is such that the more you fawn over someone, the more they look down on you.

Given her background and social status, there's no shortage of men who would want to be her admirers, stretching from Parthenon to Hawaii.

This time, Su Lan only concealed her name, not her appearance.

After her recent confrontation with Su Lan, Asha Ruya will definitely try to dig out all of Su Lan's secrets when she gets back.

First, Asharuya controlled a powerful intelligence-gathering organization; second, Su Lan did not usually hide her identity.

For example, Su Lan is one of the founders of the [Alien] Hunting Grounds, which is known to most high-ranking members of major families.

As for Asha's failure to recognize him, Su Lan could only say that Asha's preparations for this trip to the ancient capital were not sufficient.

The group then passed through several dilapidated villages, including Huacun.

In each village we passed through, we would linger for a while to explore the secrets of these dilapidated villages.

Because no one lived there, they didn't encounter many obstacles along the way.

As the sun set, the group returned to Huacun once again.

This time, we'll have to spend the night in the wilderness again.

I originally planned to rest for one night in the last village.

But most of that village was destroyed.

The scene was filled with the aura of the dead and the aura of the black beast demon.

To avoid any further complications, the group had no choice but to spend the night in Huacun, where the storage was best and the black demon's aura was weakest.

Moreover, Huacun has the best living environment among the several dilapidated villages.

However, apart from Su Lan and Serafina, who both remained calm,

Hidden beneath the veil, Asha's two attendants and the short, muscular man all wore serious expressions.

As they traveled, they discovered that more of the dead were awakening during the day.

If it weren't for the effects of the gray garlic, they might have been attacked by the undead.

This is very wrong!
