Versatile Mage: Starting with the White Tiger Pendant-Chapter 224: Deliberately "Careless"

The short man trembled all over; the fear of the undead was deeply engraved in the bodies of the locals.

"Quick, eat gray garlic," he shouted, "At night, the undead are endless. No matter how powerful the mage, they'll fall in the sea of undead!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Jun, Mo Fan, Asha'ria and the others didn't act recklessly just because they were powerful or had trump cards.

They prepared to obediently chew on gray garlic.

However, once the gray garlic was taken out, a pungent stench assaulted the air. Everyone frowned, even the short man and the strong fellow who were used to it.

This item was rare, only growing in areas piled with corpses, absorbing nutrients from the dead its taste naturally foul.

The short man and the burly guy were the first to eat it, their faces contorting in pain at once.

Next was Mo Fan. He put on a face of agony and shouted, "What the hell is this stuff?"

But Asha'ria elegantly lifted her veil, swallowed it, and her exquisite features remained indifferent, no visible change.

Lu Jun, watching sharply from the side, still noticed her beautiful brows twitch slightly and couldn't help but mock, "If it tastes bad, just admit it. Why pretend?"

As his words fell, Asha'ria couldn't hold it anymore. Her perfect face twisted, and she glared at Lu Jun viciously.

Lu Jun looked around and suddenly smiled. "You've all eaten it, right?"

"Yes," Asha'ria snorted coldly. "Just you left. Let's see how you handle it."

"Haha, good then."

Lu Jun smiled faintly. He aligned his stars, formed the track with a thought, and cast Dimensional Summon.

Buzz Buzz Buzz!

In the night, a vast magic formation wove itself together. Black-purple complex patterns spread out, sinister and awe-inspiring.

The Night Thunder Dream Beast stepped out, its terrifying Commander-level aura sweeping out. Thick darkness surged, wisps of black mist cloaking the area within several hundred meters, faintly resonating with the night.

Clatter clatter—the corpse skeletons and undead that had been surging forward were now stunned, pushing backward in panic, their bones clashing with crisp sounds. freёnovelkiss.com

Many rotten corpses and skeletons were trampled into ash.

Upon seeing this, the short man was first shocked, "Whoa! A Commander-level summoned beast this guy's a high-tier expert!!"

Then he came to his senses and wailed, "Oh no! Sir, please don't do this, I beg you to withdraw your divine beast!"

"Maybe in other demon zones, Commander-level is enough to deter subordinates and even earn face from same-tier monsters. But it doesn't work in the Undead Ancient Capital!"

"They'll only get crazier. A Corpse Minister will be drawn over soon, commanding endless undead to drain our magic energy and tear your beast apart!"

Lu Jun ignored the short man. Watching the lively Night Thunder Dream Beast, he fell into thought. The spreading dark aura condensed into mist—it had the feel of a Darkness Domain: [Sovereign of Night].

It seemed quite attuned to this land of dark undead. With the night's blessing, its performance was beyond Sub-Commander level fully reaching true Commander level.

Yoo~ yoo~ The Night Thunder Dream Beast growled lowly.

Sure enough, Lu Jun sensed it through their spiritual link and said joyfully, "You're saying if you stay here long enough, you might ascend a small tier?"

At this moment, he recalled the Dream Beast's unique talent from its wandering bloodline its ability to absorb a mysterious essence and ascend when in historically rich and elementally attuned lands.

Truly the most worry-free magical beast.

And this place an ancient capital of Jiuzhou, once home to six dynasties, where Qin, Han, and Tang, the most powerful of their times, stood was also a forbidden zone of undead. The dark aura was thick, absolutely fitting the criteria.

Lu Jun's eyes lit up. "Around the National Institute trip, there are many ancient ruins across the seven continents. The Night Thunder Dream Beast could reach peak Commander before the national competition!"

ROAR!!

Just then, in the darkness far away over ten kilometers a deafening roar shot to the sky, accompanied by layers of deathly aura sweeping over.

"Ah crap..." The short man's face went pale. He looked at Lu Jun in fear and shouted, "It's a Corpse Minister! We're done, even gray garlic won't save us now!"

As for Asha'ria, instead of being surprised by the handsome and flamboyant Commander-level Dream Beast, her brows furrowed, and flames of anger rose in her eyes.

She said coldly, "Don't get the whole team killed."

It must be known that as the team's intel chief, she had already investigated all the information before coming to the Ancient Capital and knew very well that they had to follow the local rules. Otherwise, even Super-tier mages would be doomed.

Hearing this, Lu Jun snapped back to his senses and chuckled lightly. "Relax. I'm not that stupid."

In the next moment, the dark aura radiating from the Night Thunder Dream Beast suddenly retracted, transforming into a bizarre spiritual wave. The Nightmare Domain unfolded. The black night grew hazy and dim subdued yet full of danger.

Lu Jun then cast the Star Nebula in his mind and took the chance to use the fourth-level Mid-tier Psychic spell: Psychic Invisibility.

The whole team felt a soft sensation wrapping around their bodies.

Then they witnessed a surprising scene. Under the Corpse Minister's command, countless undead had just turned blood-red in the eyes and were about to charge at them.

But now, enveloped by the Nightmare Domain, the undead suddenly seemed blind, standing around in a daze.

BOOM!

The ground trembled. In the distance, a massive skeletal Commander beast came bounding like a flash of lightning, crossing over ten kilometers in just a few giant leaps and landing with a tremendous crash.

THUD! Everyone was lifted a few feet into the air before landing. A large crater appeared nearby, dust billowing and rocks flying.

The dozens-of-meters-tall silver-white Steel Bone Minister stood like a towering giant. It scanned the surroundings, completely ignoring the humans just a few meters away. It even scratched its head as if confused where were the living?

Asha'ria and the others held their breath, not daring to make a sound, terrified of being discovered.

But the Nightmare Domain cast by the Night Thunder Dream Beast was truly formidable. Even as Lu Jun and his sister strolled right in front of the Bone Minister, they went unnoticed.

Soon, the two of them mounted the Dream Beast and signaled the others to follow.

Seeing this, the short man's eyes widened. Even Asha'ria was visibly shocked. They were dancing on a grave, and yet they were completely fine?

The group cautiously followed Lu Jun, running over ten kilometers away. Looking back, the Bone Minister was still fumbling about, clueless.

Finally, Asha'ria couldn't hold it in anymore. She asked, "What kind of ability does your Summoned Beast have?"

Lu Jun wore a calm expression and didn't answer. The Night Thunder Dream Beast was just a distraction.

On the other side, Mo Fan stared blankly at the Dream Beast. He slapped his forehead in frustration and said, "Ugh, you can even block the undead's life-sense, so why didn't you say something? I went and ate that garlic ash for nothing."

The moment he said this, Asha'ria and the others turned pale. The memory of that taste made them want to gag.

Lu Jun said with a faint smile, "I didn't do it on purpose."

"You—" Asha'ria ground her teeth in fury, realizing this guy was clearly watching them suffer for his own amusement.

Fortunately, after this little episode, the team's mood lightened up a lot.

Of course, Lu Jun hadn't just released the Night Thunder Dream Beast to dodge the foul garlic ash. Aside from letting it absorb the ambient aura to evolve, the garlic ash also had too many drawbacks.

SPLASH!

Not long after they walked for a while, the sky rumbled with thunder, and a torrential rain poured down.

Seeing this, the short man said with relief, "Good thing we've got a powerhouse here to hide us. Otherwise, in this rain, the garlic effect would've been washed away, and we'd be overrun by the undead tide no bodies left to bury."
