Chapter 438 Qiao Yu Smiled, Life and Death Unpredictable

As for Di Wen refusing to give Qiao Yu any cards, Qiao Yu quickly resolved the matter in an amicable manner.

Karl, sporting a panda eye, aggrievedly handed over his card.

Qiao Yu nodded in satisfaction, then checked the information on the card.

The card indicated that the place they were going to carry out the mission was a very remote town called Sunset Town.

Recently, in Sunset Town, people had been mysteriously disappearing every once in a while, neither alive nor dead.

In just a few days, more than half of the people in the town had disappeared, including men, women, young, and old.

The Law Enforcement investigated, but couldn't find anything, so they suspected it might not be the work of ordinary people.

"Disappearance?"

Qiao Yu murmured softly. The information provided on the card was extremely limited. Based on a disappearance alone, it was impossible to judge what exactly had happened. The specifics would probably only be known once they arrived there.

"Let's go!" Di Wen urged directly.

Qiao Yu and his group set off towards Sunset Town.

Along the way, Di Wen was very quiet, not causing any trouble, which made Qiao Yu more wary.

When they arrived at Sunset Town, it was just as the sun was setting in the evening.

The town was surrounded by mountains on three sides, while the west was a flat plain, facing the setting sun, which was probably why it was called Sunset Town.

The setting sun cast its last rays of light onto the earth, dyeing the entire Sunset Town orange-red.

People were coming and going in the town, looking very lively, with everyone walking in the streets.

Di Wen and the others didn't react, but Qiao Yu instantly became nervous!

Because he discovered that the people in front of him all carried the scent of corpses!

As a necromancer, Qiao Yu was always very sensitive to the aura of death. He didn't remind Di Wen and the others, but quietly took a step back himself.

"Isn't this perfectly fine? This situation doesn't look like people are constantly disappearing!" Karl scratched his head in confusion.

Logically speaking, if half the people in a town had really disappeared, it should look like a place gripped by fear, with everyone keeping their doors tightly closed. How could they be walking around on the road as if nothing had happened?

Di Wen nodded upon hearing this, a glint flashing in his eyes.

If there was no trouble, he would create trouble. He couldn't make a move against Qiao Yu in front of the Goddess, so he needed an opportunity to separate from the group.

At this moment, An Liya took a step forward, and the longbow Wrath of the Gods appeared silently in her hand.

"These people are not alive," An Liya said succinctly, then drew her bow and nocked an arrow.

"Sixth Arrow, Holy Light!"

An Liya's slender, fair fingers released the bowstring, and a sharp arrow instantly pierced the sky, transforming into a holy light that shot towards Sunset Town.

As the arrow passed, all the townspeople touched by it turned into ashes as if they had encountered a natural enemy.

Strangely, none of them screamed, making it eerily silent.

The townspeople next to them acted as if they hadn't seen the scene of these people's bodies being annihilated, still walking around on their own, making the scene incredibly bizarre.

At this moment, Qiao Yu finally confirmed the guess in his heart. The one causing trouble in this place was most likely a necromancer!

Among all the professions, only necromancers had the ability to control the corpses of the dead.

What Qiao Yu didn't notice was that as he lowered his head to ponder, An Liya glanced back at him almost imperceptibly.

"An entire town of people, all killed?" Karl's pupils suddenly shrank to pinpoints.

The expressions of the others were also very ugly.

Even in war, slaughtering an entire town was an extremely cruel act, let alone in this era of peace.

"Let's go, let's go in. We can't let these people die in vain, we must find the murderer!"

An Liya pursed her lips tightly, her heart obviously not at peace.

"An Liya, stay behind me and don't run around! The person inside must be extremely vicious!"

Ke Dijie immediately controlled the four shields to block in front of An Liya, and Karl and the other three also quickly cooperated, guarding each direction.

The shield wall they used in the battle competition reappeared. This was a fusion skill of Ke Dijie and the other three, the Four Directions Shield Wall.

Unless their strength far exceeded Ke Dijie and the others, it would be almost impossible to break through their shield wall.

And when they formed the Four Directions Shield Wall, they happened to cut it so that Qiao Yu was isolated outside.

Qiao Yu naturally disdained such petty tricks.

The group walked into Sunset Town. There were probably no living people left in the entire Sunset Town. The entire town was eerily quiet, making it terrifying.

Upon entering the town, the pupils of several people were no less than those who had experienced an earthquake.

Because the scene in front of them was too strange, countless "people" were walking in the streets.

Some had dull eyes, pale faces, and walked stiffly; others had white maggots constantly crawling in and out of their eye sockets, and rotten brown flesh fell with every step they took.

But without exception, all the people walking around were corpses, wandering around the town entrance like zombies.

An Liya couldn't bear to see the corpses of these townspeople being used and mocked even after death, so she drew another arrow, preparing to purify these townspeople again.

At this moment, a middle-aged man with vigorous steps walked over. His body was swollen into a ball, his face was swollen like a pig's head, his eyeballs protruded, his lips became large and turned outwards, and his tongue also stuck out.

His belly was even more bulging, and his entire skin was a dirty green color. The skin on his hands and feet peeled off like stockings as he walked, and dirty green pus dripped with every step.

He walked up to Qiao Yu and the others, then used a thick finger like a radish to dip some pus and write on the ground.

"Don't meddle in other people's business, get out!"

Then, the corpse, which had swelled into a ball, exploded with a bang, and the dirty green pus splattered everywhere.

"Goddess, be careful!"

Ke Dijie and the others immediately blocked in front of An Liya, and their shields were immediately stained with the foul-smelling pus.

Confident to the peak, Di Wen slashed out directly with his blade, but even he and his blade were dyed green.

Then, an unparalleled stench began to spread out. The smell was like putting stinky, expired pork into a latrine to marinate for three months, then taking it out, slicing it, and mixing it with the juice of surströmming chewed up by an old woman.

It made people feel sick to their stomachs just by smelling it, and plugging their noses didn't help. The smell stung the eyes!

Ke Dijie and the others instantly lowered their heads and began to vomit. They even wanted to throw away the shields stained with the green pus.

Di Wen, who had direct physical contact, began to vomit even more frantically.

An Liya's fair face first turned pale, then turned green.

Finally, this noble goddess could no longer endure the smell, and ran behind a tree to vomit wildly.

Compared to this terrible smell, the explosion of the middle-aged man itself was not very lethal.

In short, this was a warning given by the mysterious man in Sunset Town!

Having anticipated this, Qiao Yu had already retreated five miles away, watching from a distance.

A look of interest flashed in his eyes.

Gu Ming, Professor Shen, and himself. These were the only three necromancers he knew of so far.

And now, a fourth one had appeared. It looked like this was a necromancer who didn't walk the proper path!

The corners of Qiao Yu's mouth curled up into a kind smile.
