Chapter 46 Shadow Falls
  It was still the waist-high grassland, the only way to the Woz Highlands. Tan Xiao and Lina walked one behind the other.

What was different from the last time was that they were now on a not-so-narrow path, and they could vaguely see the Wards Heights at the end of the straight path.

This path has been trampled by an endless stream of adventurers during this period.

Perhaps this is why some people say that there is no road in the world, but it becomes a road when more people walk on it.

"Your Excellency Feng Sheng, are you worried about something?"

Lina saw Tan Xiao with a gloomy expression in front of her, and couldn't help but ask this question. This was the first time she saw such an expression on Tan Xiao's face, and she was inevitably a little worried.

"Huh? Ah, it's okay. I was just thinking about something."

Tan Xiao subconsciously glanced at the prism in his backpack, and could vaguely see two groups of golden light entangled inside.

"Hey, by the way, Lina! Have you ever heard of a scholar named Mednit?"

"Medenet. Never heard of it."

Lina recalled the name Mednit carefully in her mind, but could not recall any impression of him.

Tan Xiao smiled bitterly and didn't speak again. He knew that he was overthinking.

She doesn’t even know him, and Lina is even less likely to know him.

"Let's speed up. After finishing Rebecca's task, I'm going to Lez City to ask Sherani to help the dwarf blacksmith I contacted create a prop."

After saying that, Tan Xiao's speed suddenly accelerated, and he was a little irritable.

After seeing the "Book of Magical Creatures" written by Mednit, he always felt as if an invisible web was covering his body.

In the Shadow Forest, the once lush forest began to wither, and the leaves of various ancient trees withered and fell instantly.

Different from ordinary fallen leaves, the fallen leaves in the Shadow Forest now carry an aura of death.

"Crack-"

The sound of branches breaking was heard. A swamp snake that was more than ten meters long and the thickest part of its body was longer than the waist of an adult man was moving in the direction of its nest as usual.

It felt that the shadow forest today made it feel a little uncomfortable. Even though it had been in the sun for a while, the chill on its body could not be eliminated.

This made its movements a little slow, and its blood felt like it was freezing.

It turned to look behind it and found that the trees behind it began to wither and wither quickly.

Instinct told it to escape from here quickly.

However, before it could accelerate, an invisible cold wind blew through its body.

Its scales began to crack and fall off, and Snake Letter also began to become limp and weak. Its plump muscles quickly shrank, lumped together, and then rotted and fell off.

This young swamp snake turned into a pale snake skeleton in a few breaths.

Then, a terrifying scene happened. The pale snake bone began to move stiffly. After slowly raising his head, he moved towards a certain direction in the forest.

Similar scenes are constantly happening throughout the Shadow Forest.

Deep in the forest, a young woman's voice sounded,

"Hey, hey, hey! Take it easy, these are my people, I won't allow you to squander it like this!"

"Your Highness, the contract has been signed a long time ago. Half of the orcs in the forest will become our soldiers."

A skull-like creature retorted.

It was wearing a gorgeous robe, an evil crown on its head, and two scarlet fires in its empty eye sockets. Dark chains ran through its skeletal body, and strange words were engraved on the chains, giving off the aura of death.

On the ten bone fingers, there are eleven magic rings of different shapes. Ring faces with different shapes obviously have completely different functions. It can be seen that its strength is quite terrifying.

This is a creature that has not appeared on this continent for thousands of years, a lich.

"I don't care. I'll give you a third at most. If it's more, I'll turn my back."

"Your Highness."

"As compensation, I will help you kill twice the corresponding number of humans."    "Deal."

The person bargaining with it was Shan Curse, who looked harmless to humans and animals.

Next to them was a plane passage, from which a strong aura of death continued to spread, spreading to the outskirts of the forest.

This plane passage was opened by the good curse using the secret treasure given by the old king of the Shadow Forest.

"Where's that on the other side of the door?"

"Shadow falls."

"Can I go over and have a look?"

"Of course, as long as you are not afraid of death."

Shan Ju pouted and replied with some pity,

"Then it will be better in some time."

The Lich was noncommittal, just waiting quietly for its undead army to take shape and assemble.

It will use several nearby human cities as a stronghold, lead the undead army, and launch a counterattack. Just as they were expelled thousands of years ago, this time it is the human race's turn.

At the moment when the plane channel was opened, in Fast City, Sherani's daily training was interrupted by a loud noise.

He did not dare to delay and returned to his room. Rebecca had been waiting at the door of his room for a long time. She must have received some news.

In Woz Highland, Tan Xiao and Lina kept walking towards the southwest volcanoes.

Tan Xiao recorded the terrain along the way, while Lina was responsible for revising it. Naturally, they knew about the recent changes in the Woz Highlands, so they took the opportunity to bypass several main battlefields of the orcs and continued to move deeper along a path.

However, Tan Xiao's chat box suddenly started flashing.

He opened it curiously, because he only had one friend for the time being, and that was Amu.

"What made him suddenly swipe my screen? Didn't we agree not to disturb each other until life and death are at stake?"

Tan Xiao was puzzled. He felt that the most cost-effective tasks in Fast City recently were in Wards Heights.

As for the current situation in Wards Heights, for a player of Amu's level, it is no different from getting experience for free.

Before he could open the dialog box, his screen suddenly flashed.

The mission [Exploring Wards Highlands] disappeared!

He was startled and looked at his task bar in disbelief. He checked again and found that the task had really disappeared.

Then there is only one explanation, Rebecca is dead.

He quickly opened Amu's dialog box, and the messages on the screen all had one meaning.

"If you're not in Fast City, don't come back. Don't come back. Fast City is over."

Tan Xiao looked in the direction of Fast Village in surprise. Magical light kept flashing, as if a battle was taking place.

He hurriedly wanted to ask Amu about the situation, but found that the other person's profile picture was grayed out, and when the message was sent again, it showed,

"This player does not exist."

It seems that he has also been killed and is on the way to re-establish his account.

"What the hell is going on here?"

Tan Xiao quickly pulled Lina into a nearby cave. He wanted to log off and go to the forum to see what happened in Fast Village.

If Amu dies, don't worry about him. Anyway, you can still create an account again now.

He even wanted to know how even a magician like Rebecca, who was in her early thirties, died so quickly.
