Chapter 1251: Dark Moon Swamps
[
The Guild's strength assessment has begun, and the Hunter may face the following stages::
At the" initial " stage, the Hunter will be chased by a small group of undead troops.
During the "survival" stage, the Hunter will be surrounded by an army of undead.
During the Purgatory stage, the Hunter will be surrounded by an army of undead and will encounter outstanding creatures from the undead army.
During the "nightmare" stage, the Hunter will be constantly attacked by elite units of the undead army and will be forced to fight endlessly with legendary creatures of the undead race, at this stage the Hunter will also begin to be rejected by the neutral world. This is the last and final stage.
If the main mission is exploration, then the guild promotion score is survival.
The score based on which it would be decided whether the guild level would be raised or not depended on the time spent in undead territory. Gradually, the difficulty of staying in this territory will increase, and after reaching the level of "nightmare", he will not be allowed to rest for a second.
At the last stage, survival will be something from the category of impossible, as an elite army and the strongest undead will come for it.,.
But if he can make it to this stage, his score will be very high.
Under normal circumstances, the undead would chase Su Xiao to the ends of the earth, but he only had one goal, and that goal was the Law Shadow Ruins.
Earlier, he had learned that the undead had never been able to enter the Law Shadow Ruins. If he entered them, he could easily survive to the last stage.
Su Xiao looked at the large wasteland in front of him. There were soldiers behind him. On the surface, they came out to greet Iron Hand, but in reality, they were waiting for news from their superiors.
— The squad leader was just about to show some politeness when Su Xiao's figure suddenly disappeared from his sight, causing the squad leader to be stunned for a moment.
As soon as Su Xiao disappeared, Bubtni and Amu jumped down from the God Wall, and the soldiers on the wall immediately rushed to the other side of the wall.
— The squad leader was a little confused. He hadn't even managed to confirm Su Xiao's identity, so it wasn't good news that he had entered the undead territory. If it really was a spy, then he will be punished. As for catching this spy, it was impossible. Besides, he couldn't deny that this person was indeed an Iron Hand, and if he really was the real one, then capturing such a person would mean that he had gone against the king's orders.
After hesitating for a moment, the squad leader ordered the crossbows to be activated. Soon, three large crossbows were aimed at Su Xiao, Bubtni, and Amu under the wall.
— Get ready! The squad leader shouted and raised his hand high.
— Captain, do you really want to do this? one of the crossbowmen asked and swallowed. He knew what an Iron Hand wound could do.
— Who's asking you to shoot the Iron Hand? Shoot right next to it. This is our unique way of saying goodbye.
— The crossbowman was obviously a little confused, but he still obeyed the commander's order.
*Phew-phew-phew!*
Three metal arrows flew towards the target at high speed.
Under the wall, Su Xiao stopped and put his hand on the hilt of his sword.
The ground heaved as a metal arrow nearly three meters long stabbed into it.
They weren't shooting at him, but right next to him.
The commander on the God's Wall was waving his arms and looked very angry. He was a smart guy. He didn't know if Su Xiao's identity was the real one, so he ordered to shoot around him.
If Su Xiao turns out to be a real Iron Hand, then of course everyone will breathe a sigh of relief. The commander will be able to keep some things secret and report to his superiors something like ," I warmly welcomed Iron Hand, but since she had important things to do, she immediately left the wall, this person is a real role model...»
If Su Xiao turns out to be a spy, the commander will report something like, " My subordinates fought hard, but he was able to break into the undead territory. I gave the order to shoot him with my crossbows, but the three arrows I fired couldn't hit the target, he was too strong...»
Whichever option is correct, the squad leader will still be able to save his life.

Undead Territory, capital of the undead Empire, Dark Moon Swamp.
*Bul-bul-bul...*
A stream of bubbles erupted from the murky water. Above this huge swamp, there were huge thickets of vines that were intertwined together. Some of the vines were several meters thick.
The undead called these vines "Dark Moon Vines". Every night, in moonless weather, the vines emitted a green glow, hence the name..
On these vines, there was a very flat area where well-kept houses were built. Some of the houses were made of stones and some of them were made of wood, but they all looked very good.
The undead capital was even larger than the human capital, and the vines made it look incredible.
Due to the fact that it was now noon, the undead capital seemed quiet and peaceful. Since the undead hated bright lights, at noon, the undead would usually take a nap in their homes or invent primitive but reliable mechanisms.
The undead's mecha-building skill was far superior to that of humans due to their customs. Undead even in their youth learned about different mechanisms and tried to create them with their own hands.
In the center of the capital, a car with a height of at least one hundred meters was working. If you looked at it more closely, you could see that it was a very simple steam engine.
Countless pipes were connected to this simple steam engine. It was because of this machine that the undead were able to build a city on top of the vines. Due to the endless and hard work of many generations of undead, the vines that grew above the swamp became almost a perfect plant. Apart from the vines becoming extremely strong and pliable, the trash that appeared in ordinary families was decomposed due to the impact of these vines and turned into nutrients. At the expense of these substances, the vines created fresh air, which made it possible to rid the swamps of the stench..
There was a tall tree in the very center of the city. This tree was the center of the capital. Its root system went far into the swamps and was like an iron rod that went deep into the ground and allowed the entire capital to be very stable.
Its crown covered almost a third of the capital, allowing the undead to enjoy the shadow most of the time. The undead called this tree "Babakana", which means "Shelter" in the language of humans.».
And in the trunk of this shelter was a small wooden door that led to a small tree house. This house looked very simple and was not suitable for even the most ordinary family to live in.
Inside the house, there was only a wooden bed that consisted of twigs and leaves. An old man was sitting on it. The old man's beard and hair were completely white. His white beard was three meters long and reached to the floor.
— The dozing old man took a deep breath and his eyes opened. Unlike any other undead, his eyes weren't green.
