After vanquishing the Undead in the plaza, the people breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at the thick pile of Undead corpses, and then looking at Yang Ling who was sitting cross-legged on the Wizard Platform, a trooper with a big beard, who escaped death, sighed with emotion, “Thankfully His Lordship came in time. If not, we just might be infected and turned into disgusting Zombies, or got torn into pieces alive, by the Undead!”

“Yes, I’ve long heard that the Lord of the Magical Beasts has unfathomable power. Looks like he really is powerful!” A trooper in heavy armor, touched his bloodstained face, paused and continued, “No wonder it was rumored that over a hundred Golden Giant Dragons even got defeated by him. It’s no wonder that so many people are moving to the Magical Beasts Realm!”

“I’ve heard that His Lordship is the Chief Elder of the Hunter Association. Hunters who have completed their missions successfully can get a Magic Hunting Card made by him, and can even get some pointers from him. I’ve decided that if I can make it out of this alive, I will go to the Magical Beasts Realm and become a Hunter!”

“Hehe, Brother Kabu, I have exactly the same thoughts. But, Jaboli is not bad too. After all, it is just developing and has more opportunities for money-making!”

...

The Troops and adventurers, who were the lucky survivors, banded together to talk. They were extremely grateful towards the Lord Yang Ling, and were in awe of him. The more thick-skinned fellows even ran over to him from afar to thank him personally, taking the opportunity to build a relationship with him in hopes that they would be able to get Yang Ling’s help and protection later on.

This time round, the numbers of Undead they encountered had simply been too many. At a glance, there seemed to be no end to the swarms and swarms of Undead. After killing off one batch, another bunch of new fellows immediately emerged continuously. They were simply too many to kill.

The black plaza door only allowed entrance but not exit. Even Teleportation Scrolls, Space Spell and Teleportation Spell Formation had all lost their effectiveness, and the people did not have a way out. Faced with the wave-like swarms of Undead, not to mention the ordinary Troops and adventurers, even the various powerful factions like the Bellimore Family and the Dark Association were in total despair for a while.

If they were not able to stop the advance of the Undead, if their defense line was broken by the Undead, and they surged through, no one would have been able to escape this disaster!

All the powerful factions had top masters with them on this trip, to hold the fort. Be it Elder Faern, Elder Brown or the Elder of the Bellimore Family, all were at the peak level of their Domains. Once they struck, they were able to kill a large number of Undead with astonishing power!

Unfortunately, the numbers of Undead were simply too many!

Many ants could kill an elephant, much more venomous Undead like Zombies and Mummies!

No matter how strong and powerful the others like Elder Faern and Elder Brown were, there would come a time when their Magic Power would be used up. Faced with the swarms of wave-like Undead Army and their attacks, they had no choice but the back up step by step!

At the critical moment, a miracle finally appeared!

The mysterious Wizard Platform, terrifying energy whirlpool, savage Crystal Skull and the Magical Beasts with sharp teeth claws... Yang Ling’s appearance brought hope and courage to everyone.

Sure enough, with his assistance, they not only held off the Undead Army’s advances, but even launched a powerful counterattack. And it was precisely because of Yang Ling’s appearance and his powerful Soul Attacks, that the Spirit Snake King and Mummy Commander had to personally join in the battle to lead the elites in attacking the Church, giving elder Faern and Stuart the chance to lead the Calvary to attack!

They had just entered the Underground Tomb but had already encountered such terrifying Undead, furthermore, there was no escape. Even the most optimistic Troops and adventurers understood how dangerous this journey was. Just relying on their own power, not to mention replaceing a fortune, it would not be too bad if they could even go back up to the surface in one piece.

But, if they could get the protection of the Lord Yang Ling, it would be different. With his protection and help, it would be safer for them on this journey. The weak Troops and adventurers definitely would not let go of such a great opportunity!

“Jaboli, all the way to the Amazon Forest, all belong to the Magical Beasts Realm. We have an obligation to send an army to destroy these terrifying Undead. All you warriors need not stand on ceremony!” Looking at the swarming troopers and adventurers coming to curry favor with him, Yang Ling knew their intentions without a second thought. After pausing, he continued, “Of course, I will also try my best to make sure everyone is safe within my Domain!”

Similar to Wissen Town and Terras Forest, Jaboli and the Amazon Forest belonged to no one. As long as one had the power to occupy the areas, and not worry about the other factions sending an army to suppress him, anyone could declare themselves to be the Lord of these areas.

The Troops and adventurers entering Terras Forest came from all over, their tracks were all over the Tailun Continent. By using them to spread the word and publicize, in a short period, more people would know that the fact that Amazon Forest had become part of the Magical Beasts Realm was true. Of course, it was under the premise that they could get back safely to the surface.

The purpose of Yang Ling’s trip was to destroy the Underground Tomb, the hidden threat, and take this opportunity to also kill off the Church Army. But to the other factions and Troops, there was no need for him to use any other underhanded means to deal with them. Of course, he also would not be a fool to step up to protect their safety without any benefit to him. The greedy Troops and adventurers could only pray for their own safety.

The Amazon Forest also belonged to the Magical Beasts Realm?

Hearing Yang Ling say that, the people were very surprised. They did not expect Yang Ling to have such a big appetite. Not only did he occupy Jaboli which was of strategic importance, he even claimed the Amazon Forest as part of his Domain.

Even though they were surprised, but after overcoming the shock, non of the Troops or adventurers stood up to protest. As long as Yang Ling did not prohibit the people from going into the forest to hunt, they did not have any conflict of interest with the Lord Yang Ling. Anyway, even if anyone had a different opinion, he did not dare to voice it in this moment.

In this unpredictable and dangerous Underground Tomb, they could not wait to beg Yang Ling for protection, which fellow would be so stupid as to protest against his opinions?

“Brother Yang Ling, quick, my brother here accidentally got poisoned by the Zombie Poison, please help to save him!” Just as the Troops said their goodbyes to Yang Ling and got ready to go to the side to rest, Casia anxiously rushed over while carrying an injured clansman.

The wound on the injured party’s chest was a mutilated mass of meat and blood, and yellow puss would flow out of it once in a while. Obviously, he had accidentally been poisoned by the Zombie’s Zombie Poison!

After patting Casia on his shoulder to signal him to relax, Yang Ling used a drop of the Water of the Spring of Life to make a big flask of the so-called secret holy water passed down from his family. After feeding the injured party a small mouthful of it, he used his Wizard Power to force the Zombie Poison out of his body. Very quickly, the injured Warrior regained consciousness.

“My Lord, please save my brother!”

“His Lordship, this is all the Crystal Coins we have on us. I beg you, please save our team leader!”

...

After witnessing that Yang Ling had a way to save the injured who were infected by the Zombie Poison, the people quickly carried their injured family and friends forward and surrounded him.

Under ordinary circumstances, if the people were not cured after being infected by the Zombie Poison, it was highly likely hat they would become Zombies that would lose all logic and reason. They could either kill themselves to escape that fate, or be killed by others in the name of purification.

After the big battle with the Undead Army, the injured who were infected by the Zombie Poison were more than a few. There were some who sat in despair in a corner to wait to die and some whose family and friends looked on with tears in their eyes, reluctant to let go. After realizing that Yang Ling had a way to cure the Zombie Poison, the people coming forward to surround him grew more and more, causing a sensation in the plaza.

After accepting a considerably large number of Crystal Coins or valuables, Yang Ling also did not mind helping cure the injured of the Zombie Poison. After all, one drop of the Water of the Spring of Life was enough to make a huge flask of the so-called holy water, to save a few hundred injured men. After leveling up to a high level Divine Wizard, the amount of Wizard Power he used to resolve the Zombie Poison was not even worth a mention. Just by lifting a finger, he could gain huge rewards.

“Elder, we also have a Templar who is infected by the Zombie Poison. Do you think, can we...” After witnessing Yang Ling successfully cure the injured of the Zombie Poison one after another, the Templar Odombra found Elder Brown, hoping to save his injured brother as soon as possible.

Back then, under Elder Brown’s command, he led three Dark Templars and two Light Templars into battle. Out of the three Dark Templars, two fell in battle, and the only one left was gravely wounded, and was infected by the horrifying Zombie Poison.

After an ordinary Church Knight or Spellcaster had gotten infected with the Zombie Poison, the Pastor accompanying the Army would immediately kill them and end it all, in the name of purification, to prevent them from becoming mindless Zombies and attacking the people around them. But the status of the Templars were far above an ordinary Church Knight. So after getting infected by the Zombie Poison, the Templar was immediately encased in ice, ready to be sent back to the Holy City to be saved.

“Odombra, how heavy of a price do you think we will have to pay, so that the Lord Yang Ling will be willing to help us?” Looking at Yang Ling far away, who was busy, Elder Brown shook his head and smiled self-mockingly, his face grave.

On the surface, Yang Ling looked like he did not deny anyone who went to him, and rapidly helped people resolve the Zombie Poison within their bodies. But Elder Brown understood that when it would come to his own men from the Church, the situation might be radically different.

Elder Brown himself was still preparing to capture Yang Ling back to the Holy City for a forced interrogation. The two parties had just gotten into a strong altercation on the surface not too long ago. Why would Yang Ling help cure the injured Templar of the Zombie Poison?

The Church had unfortunately gotten hit hard by the attack of the Undead Army this time round. Compared to the other factions, they had paid the price multiple times, even more than ten times, over. Furthermore, as long as any of the Knights or Spellcasters were infected by the Zombie Poison, they would be instinctively purified by Pastors accompanying the army.

Ah, few hundred elite Knights and Spellcasters. If there was a way to resolve the Zombie Poison in their bodies, would they have suffered so much loss to death and injury?

Thinking about the Knights and Spellcasters who did not die by the Undead’s hand, but by their own people’s hands, and looking at Troops and adventurers who were out of danger with Yang Ling’s help, Elder Brown was so frustrated that he almost vomited blood. After the battle, he had never thought that the dignified Church Army, would have suffered more losses than a small Troops Team that was fighting in the frontlines!
