“Keep running if you can, your grandpa Shorty doesn’t mind playing with you until your death!” grumbled Shorty while casting a Light Protection: Rampart.

The Light Protection: Rampart was like a cage that the Throat-slicing Horned Demon could not afford to touch. After Shorty trapped the creature with three consecutive Light Protection: Rampart, it was done for.

Yu Qingsu, who was overwhelmed with hatred, immediately threw a Lightning Strike into the cage, landing it on top of the Throat-slicing Horned Demon.

The Throat-slicing Horned Demon’s defense was even weaker than the Cloth-wrapped Corpse General. Its body was severely injured after a mere Lightning Strike. It was pretty much half-dead lying there in the cage, losing all hope of fleeing for its life.

“Allow me to help the creature find its peace!” Shorty followed up by throwing a Brilliant Light into the cage.

A Magician should always conserve their energy, especially when a Basic Light Spell was more than enough to finish the creature.

The rays of light emitted by the glowing ball were like incredibly sharp swords to the Throat-slicing Horned Demon. The rays instantly punctured the creature’s shadowy figure, leaving countless holes in it.

The Throat-slicing Horned Demon did not last for more than a few minutes, its body soon shattering into smaller black pieces. In the end, all that remained was a black piece of canvas falling to the ground… it turned out that the phantom was actually possessing the canvas!

Shorty’s eyes glittered when he saw the Ghost Canvas. However, the cunning man did not express his excitement in his expression. He simply picked up the canvas with an indifferent look and grumbled, “All it dropped is this thing that looks like a piece of loincloth. What the hell can we even use it for? Perhaps someone will actually buy it from me.”

Shorty had already snuck the Ghost Canvas into his pocket in the middle of his speech.

Unfortunately, a huge hand immediately grabbed his wrist. He looked up and saw Scar Face looking at him with a smile that revealed his tobacco-stained yellow teeth.

“Bro, that thing is actually quite valuable. Since you already knew what the Throat-slicing Horned Demon is, you would know how valuable its Ghost Canvas is, too,” said Scar Face.

Shorty immediately pulled a long face.

This man, who looked like a hefty version of Rurouni Kenshin, almost lost his life a few moments ago, yet he was still thinking about the Ghost Canvas. If Shorty managed to keep the Ghost Canvas to himself, he would earn a great profit even without considering the other loot he would get for the rest of the night!

“Hehe, it’s not like that, I’m not too sure about its value. How about this, I can sell this thing at a good price. I’ll take it, and compensate you all with other things. How does that sound?” said Shorty with us.

“It depends on what you’re planning to give us. All three of us are included,” Yu Qingsu was not someone that could be fooled easily either.

“One Soul Seed Piece?”

“Are you treating me like an idiot! Give me the thing, now…” said Scar Face furiously.

“Alright, alright, five million, I’ll give everyone five million. You can only sell it for twenty million at most. I’ll give each of you five million. It’s a fair deal!” said Shorty.

“That sounds more like it.”

Shorty fell his balls hurting. He should not have saved the guy. The profit was not as impressive after it was split among four people.

Shorty was a man of his words, too. He immediately gave everyone Soul Seed Pieces and Magic Ores that would sum up to a value of five million according to the market price.

“This Servant-class Soul Essence is for you. It’s worth more or less five million,” Shorty handed a Soul Essence to Mo Fan.

Mo Fan was stunned for a moment. How did the guy know he was in need of Soul Essences?

Normally, Mo Fan would never spend the Soul Essences that he could trade for money on strengthening his Stars. However, since he was so close to strengthening all forty-nine Stars, he decisively used the Soul Essence to strengthen his next Star instead.

Only ten Stars remained until he could cast the fourth-tier Fiery Fist!

After leaving the chamber, he would have to put more effort into collecting the Soul Remnants of the undead. It was quicker to collect Soul Remnants when killing the undead, as they would always die in packs…

——-

The group made their way out of the sunken tomb after splitting the loot.

Everyone was given a great scare as soon as they came out of the cave.

The whole area was surrounded by pitch-black figures. Zombies had filled the place when they were busy dealing with the cunning Corpse General and Phantom General. They subconsciously took a deep breath when their entire field of view was filled with the faces, bodies, and limbs of the undead.

“Quick, let’s leave this place!” Shorty was no longer thought about the Ghost Canvas when he realized that the situation they were in.

“Little Flame Belle, clear the path!” Mo Fan immediately ordered.

Little Flame Belle was flying around three to four meters above the ground. She puffed out her cheeks and spat out blazing flames ahead of them quickly.

The flames poured down from the sky like a river. The rolling tide swept forward and laid a blazing red carpet on the surface. The Servant-class undead within the area of the flames were either burned beyond recognition, or fled for their lives in all directions.

The Calamity Fire was much more imperious than the Rose Flame. Besides, little Flame Belle was still in her Youth Phase, and was still unable to fully exploit the power of the Calamity Fire!

“Awesome, your Contracted Beast is comparable to four or five Intermediate Fire Magicians,” Shorty raised his thumb to Mo Fan.

“Enough flattering, hurry up and use your Brilliant Light to blind the zombies behind us. They are f**king fast runners!” cursed Mo Fan.

In addition to the flames clearing the path, Mo Fan and Yu Qingsu, who were both Lightning Magicians, were also able to paralyze a huge number of zombies with their Lightning Strikes.

That being said, only Mo Fan’s Lightning Strike was able to paralyze a crowd of zombies. The fourth-tier Lightning Strike was much stronger than Yu Qingsu’s Lightning Strike. The zombies that enjoyed stacking up into human pyramids had no chance of getting close to the group.

“I see it, the army is just ahead!” yelled Scar Face.

Holding an ice chain in each of his hands, Scar Face flung the ice chains sideways with great might, knocking the zombies on both sides to the ground!

They were more than a kilometer away from the army. The four Magicians did not hesitate to use their Boots Equipment as they sprinted toward the army across the land of black sand while drawing Star Patterns continuously.

A Magic Vine burst out from the ground and entangled the legs of two zombies. The four had no time to waste on the two zombies who were trying to crawl forward with their hands. They simply ran past them quickly.

Shorty’s Brilliant Light exploded on the other side. The light was so strong that it stopped another four to five zombies from moving any closer, as they tried to shield their eyes. When the zombies finally regained their vision after the light dimmed gradually, the four Magicians were already a hundred meters away from them, surrounded by another pack of undead!

“My turn! Wind Disc: Sky Snare!” uttered Scar Face imperiously, controlling the airflow nearby with his hands.

The wind spin rapidly with the group in the center. It grew from a slight breeze at the start into Sky Snare wind walls that were strong enough to crush anything into pieces!
