Chapter Eighty-six: Bloody Robbery

  McDonald's, this is the fourth night.

  Chen Le went to pick up his own deceased spirit master, who was also his servant: Fei Zi.

  However, when Chen Le received it, he found something interesting.

  Those fleeing merchants actually gathered in the alleys of McPhee's Burg and Sandoral, taking a look at the number, roughly around 20 people.

  And Chen Le found that their big bags and small bags were all full of shiny things.

  Chen Le thought he could play the role of a strong thief for now.

  Chen Le pulled his clothes up and then pulled out a skull. Chen Le stroked the skull, and soon the skull turned a little black.

  "Rustle, rustle, rustle!" The wind-blown forest made some noise. Then came a gust of cold wind.

  Those big-bellied merchants kept trembling, and one of them cursed: "Who said to take this road? I've been saying that this road is ominous!"

  Another merchant who was entirely in the wrong sneered and said: "Didn't you agree to it yourself? How come you're blaming me now?"

  "Haha, this mountain was opened by me, this tree was planted by me. If you want to pass from here, leave your toll!" This classic line that is unmatched on earth has finally appeared in this world!

  The merchants huddled together in fear, their guards watching warily around them.

  Chen Le hid behind a stone, quietly pretending to be a statue. At the same time, he held up a skull and said: "Now make a choice, do you want to take the money with you to spend in the underworld or are you willing to leave the money behind and continue living in the mortal world? You have 10 seconds."

  A merchant without any guards screamed and shouted loudly: "Don't kill me, I'll leave you all my money! I want my life!"

  The merchant then threw all the jewelry and ornaments on his body to the ground, and when he finally took off a jade ring, he said pitifully: "Can't I leave this for me? This is the heirloom my wife gave me."

  Chen Le didn't say a word, remained silent for a while, then slowly said: "Alright, let's go!"

  The merchant was overjoyed and ran away like the wind.

  But not every merchant was so fond of life, some merchants ridiculed that fleeing merchant.

  "That sneaky guy, if you had the ability, you would have come out earlier, why bother pretending to be a ghost? You guys! Find this guy and kill him!" A merchant who looked like the leader said with a smile.

  Chen Le smiled slightly and said: "Looking for death!"

  "Gentlemen, your time is up. It seems you have chosen the former, so kill everyone except women and children!"

  Suddenly, a large group of black armored warriors appeared around the merchants. The black armored warriors were all covered in armor, with only two bright red eyes exposed.

  Those guards were just ordinary third-class warriors; they had never seen such a terrifying scene before.

  A guard yelled and swung his sword at a black warrior.

  "Clang!" The sword struck solidly, but aside from leaving a white mark on the black warrior's armor, it had no other effect.

  The black warrior's single slash directly severed the guard's head from his body. Blood splattered into the air, then fell back down.

  The merchants immediately regretted it and knelt down to beg for mercy, praying that the black-armored warriors would spare them.

  The dead are always dead, they don't know what pity is, all they know is to take the knife in their hands and carry out the orders left by their masters.

  Arms and heads are all over the ground, the entire scene is accompanied by begging for mercy, the cries of women and children have already become heart-piercing sounds.

  The massacre will soon be over.

  Then Chen Le began to laugh crazily. Those women and children screamed and ran away.

  Chen Le is now very happy, he made a fortune. Although this money was stained with blood.

  "Master, I'm here!" Fei's voice suddenly appeared beside Chen Le's ear.

  Chen Le didn't lift his head and continued to count the shiny things, saying: "Fei Zi, quickly clean up here, it's not good if someone sees us."

  Helplessly looking at these corpses all over the ground

  Then the skulls were summoned to carry them under those woods and dig a hole, burying them. The blood was also covered with mud. But the air still lingered with the smell of blood.

  Chen Le went crazy with laughter, these shiny things were indeed too magical, and they also included a large pile of magic crystals.

  "Cough, cough, cough!" The sudden pain left Chen Le somewhat at a loss. Blue souls surrounded Chen Le, laughing loudly as if mocking the living for daring to try and peek at the power of the dead.

  Both hands supported the ground, pupils constantly enlarging, mouth corners flowing out that deep red blood. Souls became more and more, they didn't know where they came from, nor where they went to.

  Fitz held his staff and continued to summon one ghost after another, but the souls were just too many. They formed a blue ocean, and the gray ghosts summoned by Fitz were instantly submerged in the ocean.

  Along with that, Feizuo also groaned, and did not spit out a single drop of blood or anything else. This is the advanced form of the undead mage: lich, giving up the mortal flesh to maintain immortality in an undead body.

  Agony, like being bitten by countless ants, extreme pain, Chen Le was panting heavily, but it didn't do any good.

  Chen Le suddenly let out a loud shout, his eyes turning bright red again. "ROAR!!!" The souls seemed to have discovered something terrifying and fled in all directions. However, it seemed that some of them were too late.

  Chen Le's body was like a magnet, his soul felt an extremely strong pulling force, they flew towards Chen Le helplessly, but there were some lucky ones, they were on the outermost periphery and managed to escape.

  "Soul absorption progress: 102W/1000W. Unlocking progress, acquire skill to control corpses. Effect: Can control up to 50 corpses that do not exceed one's own strength. Upgrade available." The AI voice sounded first.

  Chen Le forced a smile and said: "Xiao, it seems that I will follow in your footsteps. I'm also gradually becoming not human."

  Fitz's condition was poor, but he could still move with difficulty. Fortunately, the black knights around them were undead souls to begin with, and those spirits did not attack them, so they were now the only guardians who could protect these two people.

  First came the sound of rapid horseshoes, "Neigh! Neigh! Neigh!"

  "Who are you?" The voice was somewhat familiar, Chen Le forced himself to turn around and look in the direction of the sound.

  "Ma Di! Hurry up and get me back!" Chen Le shouted with all his might.

  Maddy, the captain of the Death Squad, as an excellent thief, soon discovered Chen Le's figure, but the black-armored great swordsmen in front of him gave him endless pressure.

  "Maddy, don't worry, they won't hurt you. Take Arthur's little friend back, I can walk myself." Fei began to show off his acting skills.

  Maddy saw that the black-armored warriors were not hostile, so he ran to Chen Le's side with a peace of mind, then grabbed two ropes and tied Chen Le behind his back.

  Soon, Maddie and Chen Le rode their horses galloping towards Macpherson's Castle.

  "Master Arthur, what's going on here?" Maddy asked, holding the reins without looking back.

  Chen Le felt a bit awkward, and couldn't say that he was out robbing at night. He lowered his head and smiled: "That, Aegrys didn't say something about the Vengeful Spirit Crystal? I contacted a necromancer I knew from my wandering days, it's just the one who was talking to you."

  Maddy didn't ask any more questions, he knew Master Arthur didn't need to deceive him. Moreover, his task was just to pick up Chen Le.

  Soon, Maddie and Chen Le returned to McTropolis. Eggo rushed to where Chen Le was resting after hearing that something had happened to him.

  This resting place is actually a slightly better residential house under the city wall.

  Chen Le Ping lay on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling. Aikes sat beside Chen Le, his face filled with anxious expressions.

  Chen Le's current importance has surpassed his own, the success of the dragon-slaying potion configuration is related to whether the entire Maipu Castle can be defended, and even more so to whether the tens of thousands of acres of good land behind Maipu Castle and the millions of Dawn citizens can live safely.
