8: The forbidden spell of the undead system releases all living things

Lin Ling didn't talk much normally, and he greatly admired this social butterfly who could just start chattering away upon first meeting.

All the way, he had encountered nothing but cold sarcasm or hot ridicule, and this was the first person who actively offered to help him level up.

Lin Ling stopped and turned to ask, "You don't know me?"

A hint of surprise flashed across the person's face, as if he truly didn't recognize Lin Ling.

"Are you famous?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Ling suddenly felt a sense of being spied upon.

Sure enough, a prompt appeared on the system panel in front of him.

"Qin Xuan is casting Probe Skill on you."

Probe Skill is a basic function that every Awakened possesses; casting Probe Skill allows one to view basic information such as the target's name and level.

However, Probe Skill has usage conditions: the probed target's level must be lower than the caster's, and the probed target must not be wearing anti-peeping items or possess anti-peeping skills/talents.

"Lin Ling? It sounds a bit familiar, but I just arrived in Xuanfu Base City last night."

"You dare to come to Wild Boar Forest at Level 1? Let me give you a piece of advice: don't go too deep. If you get surrounded, you won't last even a second."

"As long as you agree that all dropped items belong to me, then I, your big brother, will take you to level up, how about it?"

Qin Xuan's eyes were full of confidence, as if he had already seen Lin Ling happily agreeing.

He was new to Xuanfu Base City and unfamiliar with the place. After changing to a hidden profession, he urgently needed a subordinate to satisfy his vanity of being admired.

However, what he didn't expect was that Lin Ling shook his head.

"Your talkative manner reminds me a lot of a friend of mine. I'll give you a suggestion: go level up somewhere else."

Lin Ling said indifferently, already walking towards the depths of Wild Boar Forest.

Qin Xuan looked at the direction Lin Ling disappeared, calling out somewhat unwillingly, "Don't go! I'll give you 10% of the dropped equipment, wouldn't that be fine? When I have more skeletons, I'll definitely take you on a rocket ride."

Lin Ling turned back and waved at him. This little Undead Mage was quite cute, eager to take people to level up.

"No need, I'm afraid that following Big Brother would mean three days of feasting and nine days of hunger."

"No, don't! How can a child blessed by the gods since childhood like me not have a subordinate following me? Hey, buddy, I'm really lucky, the kind who can pick up money just walking down the street. Follow me... why are you leaving? I haven't finished talking yet."

The little Undead Mage actually trotted all the way to catch up with Lin Ling.

Hearing his approaching sound, Lin Ling couldn't help but stop. He frowned slightly and said, "Don't follow me anymore, I don't need you to lead."

"How about this, we'll split the dropped equipment three-seven, you get three, I get seven, or even five-five is fine. Big Brother, don't leave, three-seven for me is fine, right?"

Qin Xuan's small vanity couldn't be satisfied, and he was truly unwilling to let Lin Ling leave.

But just then, Lin Ling's speed suddenly soared, and he instantly rushed into the depths of Wild Boar Forest.

That speed was simply not something a newly awakened Mage could catch up to.

Qin Xuan shook his head helplessly and said, "Heh, quite arrogant. You don't know that because of your arrogance, you've lost an opportunity to befriend a future Great God."

...

Lin Ling continued walking for another ten-plus minutes, finally arriving at the depths of Wild Boar Forest.

He was too familiar with this area; in his previous Life, Lin Ling was definitely the overlord of the novice zone.

No Professional would stay here for three two-and-a-half-year periods like him.

Of course, being the novice zone overlord wasn't for nothing; at least he knew every monster here and the drop patterns of equipment.

Monsters in the novice zone rarely jumped levels from low to high, but this Wild Boar Forest bordered a Level 30 monster map.

Moreover, according to Lin Ling's experience, if an Elite BOSS appeared here, achieving the first kill had a chance to drop a complete set of Elite equipment.

In the early stages, few people would pursue sets, but Lin Ling knew that this Elite equipment set had a very good passive skill that could make his spell damage among the best within Three Turns.

Along the way, Lin Ling easily avoided all the small monsters.

Monsters below Level 10 generally wouldn't actively attack humans unless they got within ten meters.

If he continued forward, he would exit the Level 10 novice zone, where the monsters already had a high degree of active aggression.

Once a human was targeted, they would immediately be attacked.

If the current Lin Ling encountered an Level 11 fierce wolf, even with all his combat experience, he would only be wolf fodder.

"That's about right, this is the place."

Lin Ling muttered to himself, looking at the groups of three to five wild boars ahead.

He stretched, slowly spreading his arms.

With a thought, his entire aura suddenly became sinister.

"Show yourself, little darling!"

A loud shout came from Lin Ling's mouth.

His skills originally didn't require chanting, but he always felt that magic without chanting had no soul.

So he just casually said something.

It was almost noon, and it was a sunny day; the July sun was baking the ground extremely hot.

But as his words fell, the sky suddenly darkened.

The temperature instantly dropped by twenty degrees, and the chilling aura made all the wild boars shiver.

"Undead Summoning Forbidden Spell — All Things Grow!" Activated.

Centered on Lin Ling, within a hundred-mile radius, day instantly turned into night.

"In the past, winter was cold, and summer had rain and water..."

An incredibly ethereal piece of music sounded in this night, as if it wanted to lead all creatures who heard it into reincarnation, seeking Life.

The earth began to shake, and skeletons that had been dead for who knows how long crawled out from underground, turning into Undead creatures.

Large cracks appeared on the asphalt roads of Xuanfu Base City, and broken skeletons emerged from underground.

Outside the city, beast skeletons covered the wilderness, and several massive dragon-shaped skeletons even emerged from the Yanghe River.

For a moment.

The area around Xuanfu Base City seemed to have turned into a living hell.

The vast army of skeletons numbered in the millions.

If viewed from above, the earth had turned into a ghostly white.

Undead Scourge

"Please select attack target."

"Attack monsters only" "Attack humans only" "Attack specified targets only"

Options from the system panel immediately appeared before Lin Ling's eyes.

"Attack monsters only."

Lin Ling made his choice in his mind, and the million-strong Undead army instantly engulfed all monsters within a hundred-mile radius.

In Xuanfu Base City, at the central square, the job transfer ceremony was nearing its end.

The AI intelligent broadcast continued to sound.

"Xuanfu No. 4 Middle School, Lei Xiaojun, successfully transferred, Life profession — Singer. B-rank talent: Rock is born for fever."

"Shenfeng Club, Feng Zhi, successfully transferred, combat profession: Fire Mage, S-rank talent: Wrath of the Fire God."

"Holy cow, the awakening ceremony is almost over, and Shenfeng has another ace up its sleeve?"

"Another Mage, and it's the top combat Fire Mage, with an S-rank talent?"

"Wrath of the Fire God? The heaven-defying talent, known as the group-wiping fighter jet, actually appeared in our Xiao?"

"Whoever teams up with him to clear monsters will be like cheating and riding a plane!"

Wrath of the Fire God was called a Mage talent comparable in value to SS-rank.

Because this talent had a passive skill — Incinerate.

No matter what skill was cast, an Incinerate state would appear, causing AOE damage to the surrounding few meters.

This was simply a divine skill for grinding and leveling; one Mage with Wrath of the Fire God could equal the output of three ordinary Mages.

Everyone remaining in the square cast envious glances at Feng Zhi.

The big shots in the VIP section also couldn't help but praise him.

"This Feng Zhi is good. Shenfeng Club will probably be boasting everywhere again."

"Yes, it's estimated that other guilds will offer high prices to invite Feng Zhi to team up and level up... Hmm? Is it going to rain?"

A city leader was speaking when he suddenly looked up at the sky.

The clear sky, why did it suddenly turn dark?

Looking at the darkened sky, the powerful individuals sitting in the square suddenly stood up from their chairs.

"This is..."

Zhang Mingyuan, the President of the Mage Guild of Xuanfu Base City, widened his eyes but couldn't continue speaking.

"Could it be that a new expansion pack is about to open?"

Mayor Bai Haishan's face was filled with horror; such a celestial phenomenon, he could only think of the scenes from movies when new expansion packs opened.

Just then, a burst of chanting suddenly sounded in the air.

"I see pheasants flying over lonely two fish..."

"Two fish swimming through a sea-salty river..."

No one had ever heard such mesmerizing voices before, and unconsciously, goosebumps appeared on everyone's skin.

Before anyone could wonder, the square in front of them suddenly began to shake, as if a magnitude seven earthquake had suddenly struck.

Cracks appeared one after another, and students who hadn't even completed their awakening were already terrified.

They slumped to the ground, only to see ghostly white bone claws crawling out from those cracks.

"Monsters... monsters..."

"These are Undead creatures, so many Undead creatures."

"How is this possible? The Base City is a safe zone, how can monsters appear?"

"Is this a natural disaster or a man-made calamity?"

"Quickly activate the Purification Barrier!"

...
