Chapter 656 - Netherworld Town! Dead People!
Chapter 656: Netherworld Town! Dead People!
The carriage was very spacious. Even after Lugh and the other two sat in it, it was still very spacious.
In the carriage, the three of them sat in their respective seats, and then there was a long silence.
No one spoke at the first moment, and the carriage fell into silence.
Only the sound of the wheels rolling could be heard, and from time to time, the sound of the coachman hitting the back of the horse with his whip could be heard.
Some of the people in the carriage were closing their eyes to rest. They knew that the next mission would be very difficult!
Otherwise, the leader would not have paid so much attention to it. He even sent his butler, who was like a brother, to travel together with the three of them.
Moreover, there was a strange aura coming from the mission office this time. They were clearly only some level 10 people who had been resurrected from the dead. Although the number was unclear, they were only level 10 people after all. Moreover, they had been dead for a long time!
This kind of mission was actually rated as Grade A. Moreover, the 12 members of the Zodiac Organization of the Union had to form a team to accept this mission!
After all, they were all level 20 people!
Perhaps it was because it was too quiet, the coachman outside opened his mouth to ease the atmosphere.
“The air in this carriage is stuffy. Do you guys want to take off the masks and breathe in the fresh air?”
Monkey immediately replied, “No need, we won’t feel stuffy!”
After Monkey finished his reply, he felt a little strange. There was clearly no discomfort after putting on the mask. It felt like he was not wearing it. Why would the coachman ask this?
Logically speaking, a person who had been the vice-leader of the Adventurers’ Union should know the meaning of this Zodiac mask, right?
Moreover, everyone was a person with cultivation, and they were also very talented. They were all young geniuses around level 20. They shouldn’t have felt uncomfortable due to the harsh environment.
Could it be that this coachman did it on purpose? Did he see that the atmosphere in their carriage was too depressing, so he opened his mouth to ease it?
At the same time, Monkey wasn’t the only one who understood this point. Rabbit also understood this point at the first moment.
“The air in the carriage is quite good, and your driving skills are also very good. We won’t feel uncomfortable even if the road is bumpy…”
“We are just closing our eyes to rest our minds, and not in a fit of pique. Please rest assured.”
The girl with the codename ‘Rabbit’ explained to the coachman. The first half of her sentence was just that. It felt like she was seriously explaining to the coachman, but later on, she completely saw through the coachman’s thoughts.
Hearing this, the coachman let go of his thoughts. It would be good if the two of them didn’t have any conflicts. This mission was no joke. In his heart, the Undead Mountain Range was usually fine, but as long as there was a problem… It would definitely alarm the entire imperial city.
“It’s good that you’re fine…”
“That’s why I hope that all of you can come over safely.”
The coachman drove the carriage and prayed silently in his heart.
Thus, the coachman didn’t continue speaking. He just silently drove the carriage. As the wheels of the carriage skidded, he would occasionally slap his horse’s back.
Under the curious gazes of the passersby, a middle-aged man dressed very elegantly was driving a carriage with the Adventurers’ Union emblem. He drove forward at a uniform speed.
…
In the evening, Lugh and the others appeared near the Undead Mountain Range.
The coachman looked at the scene in front of him and said calmly, “Everyone, we’re almost there.”
“In front of us is the village near the Undead Mountain Range, Netherworld Town!”
Upon hearing this, the three people in the carriage opened their eyes at the same time.
Nearly ten hours had passed since the start of the journey, but it was only an instant for the three of them.
The three of them closed their eyes and rested in the carriage. They had already adjusted themselves to their best condition!
Not long after, the carriage gradually came to a stop. The coachman’s voice could be heard.
“We’ve arrived!”
When Lugh and the other two heard this, they also came out of the carriage in turn.
“Is this Netherworld Town?”
The girl with the codename ‘Rabbit’ looked at the surrounding environment and frowned.
“But why can’t we see any signs of living people here?”
The boy with the codename ‘Monkey’ also looked around.
“Indeed, we don’t see any living people. It’s already so late. Logically speaking, we should be able to see smoke or something like that, but we don’t see any signs of smoke.”
“Could it be that there’s no one living around here anymore?”
Then, the youth with the code name ‘Monkey’ used his unique eyes to observe the surroundings.
After a while, a figure flashed by the corner of Monkey’s eyes, so he immediately said, “I see a person. He’s over there!”
Thus, under the lead of the youth with the codename ‘Monkey’, everyone came to the place he had mentioned.
However, unlike what they had expected, this person did not seem to be alive at all.
His face did not seem to have any color at all. He looked deathly pale, as if he had just recovered from a serious illness.
Furthermore, this person’s movements were very slow. His four limbs were moving in a strange manner.
“This is the person you saw?” Rabbit asked doubtfully.
The youth with the codename Monkey also nodded when he heard this. This was the person he had just seen. His eyes would not misjudge anyone!
“But how did this person become like this?” the girl with the codename Rabbit asked, somewhat puzzled.
Monkey was also somewhat puzzled. He was also not clear about the situation of this person who looked somewhat abnormal.
Therefore, Monkey went up to this strange person and asked, “Hello! Is this Netherworld Town?”
“…”
The villager ignored the young man with the code name Monkey as if he didn’t hear anything. He ignored everyone and continued to do his own thing.
The young man with the code name Monkey thought that the man didn’t hear him clearly, so he repeated it again.
“Hello! Can you hear me clearly?”
“…”
The man still ignored Monkey, which made Monkey a little angry.
Just as Monkey was about to step forward and use his hand to stop this person, a voice interrupted his next move.
“This person is already dead!”
When Lugh saw this situation, he immediately figured out what was going on with this person.
“What?”
The two teammates, codenamed Rabbit and Monkey, immediately exclaimed.
“This person is actually dead?”
The two of them found it hard to believe that a person who was standing in front of them and still moving was actually dead?
When she heard these words, the girl codenamed Rabbit hurriedly jumped to the side as if she had heard something terrible. She widened her eyes and stared at this person in disbelief.
Monkey, who was at the side, was also startled. He was just about to use his hand to stop this person. If not for Lugh stopping him, wouldn’t he have touched a dead person?
When he thought of this, the youth, who was codenamed Monkey, also looked at the person in front of him with some fear.
