Chapter 423 Jiang Han, the "Civilized" One, the Newcomer of the Necromancer System
"How would I know? I thought I'd shaken them off. Who knew their sense of smell was so sharp?" Mo Fan said somewhat awkwardly.
"A good-for-nothing who's more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish anything." Zu Jiming glanced at Mo Fan and muttered under his breath.
"Then what are you?" Mo Fan retorted.
Seeing that the two were about to start fighting again, Ai Jiangtu scolded them with a dark face: "What time is it? Let's deal with these problems first."
Ai Jiangtu rushed out first, silvery-white starlight emanating from his body, causing a slight ripple in the space. Immediately afterwards, a void claw grabbed the Crimson Demon that pounced down from the rock and flung it away violently.
Jiang Han, who had been watching the spectacle with amusement, was forced to join the fray. Grayish-white yin energy flowed around him, and one skeleton soldier after another rose from the ground, charging towards the Crimson Demons with bone knives or spears. To prevent the resurrected skeletons from dying too quickly, Jiang Han even used the necromancy-based domain 'Asura Purgatory'.
Mo Fan and Zu Jiming seemed to be competing with each other, using their strongest methods to attack Chi Lingyao. Lightning and flames bloomed under Chi Lingyao's feet, and the eerie green poison gas instantly enveloped Chi Lingyao, before a huge explosion nearly killing him.
Zhao Manyan, Jiang Shaoxu, Mu Ningxue, Jiang Yu and others soon engaged in combat with Chi Lingyao. As members of the National Academy team, they were all top students from prestigious universities, so they could easily kill Chi Lingyao.
In less than half an hour, the dozen or so Crimson Demons that had come with Mo Fan were turned into corpses on the ground. Under the influence of Jiang Han's domain, they even showed signs of turning into undead.
"Something's happened here! Look quickly at that Crimson Demon's belly!" Just then, Jiang Yu, who was not far away, suddenly shouted loudly.
Everyone looked in the direction Jiang Yu was pointing, and there was a Crimson Demon with its belly cut open, leaning against a rock. Blue blood was gushing out, but a small leg had slipped out from where its abdomen had been torn open. However, it did not look like the leg of a small Crimson Demon.
"What is this?" Mu Yingting from the Mu family asked, covering her mouth and nose.
Jiang Shaoxu, Nan Yu, Mu Ningxue and the other girls all frowned, while Ai Jiangtu went straight over and took out the calf from Chi Lingyao's abdomen. However, when he took it out completely, some of the girls couldn't help but gag.
Inside the Crimson Demon's abdomen was none other than an infant. The infant was completely blackish-purple and had long since lost all signs of life. Its body was covered in foul-smelling mucus. The infant's eyes were open, suggesting that it had been swallowed alive by the Crimson Demon.
"Damn it, these damned beasts actually eat children!!" Mo Fan cursed loudly in anger.
"He truly deserves to die!" Jiang Han said, his expression equally cold.
I didn't feel anything when I read this passage in a book before, but when this scene actually appeared in front of me, any normal person would be unable to suppress their anger. After cutting open the bellies of more than a dozen Crimson Demons, a total of four infant corpses were found. Behind these four corpses were four families.
"This is probably the real reason why the five mentors abandoned us near that small fishing village," Ai Jiangtu said in a somewhat heavy voice.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's rush onto the island and slaughter all the Crimson Demons here!" Mo Fan said indignantly.
"Don't be so quick to shout for war. We are civilized people and we should be civilized. We should make sure the entire Crimson Demon clan leaves in an orderly fashion." Jiang Han said he wanted to be civilized, but the murderous aura emanating from him was even stronger than Mo Fan's.
As for the others, their eyes were also filled with anger. Even Jiang Shaoxu, who was usually flamboyant, was a little angry. Mu Ningxue was even more icy, and if Jiang Han hadn't intervened to dispel the icy aura, the ground would have been covered in frost in an instant.
"Jiang Yu, Mu Tingying, you two go back to Feiniao City first and investigate which areas have been attacked by sea monsters in the past few days, especially those related to the disappearance of infants," Ai Jiangtu said.
"Okay." Mu Tingying agreed quite readily this time.
"Captain, don't worry, nothing can be hidden from me, Jiang Yu. I'll be back soon and tell you everything," Jiang Yu said solemnly.
"Also, get me a copy of the information on the guards stationed in Asuka City. After this is over, I'll definitely send the commander in charge of coastal defense packing home," Ai Jiangtu said.
After Jiang Yu and Mu Tingying left, Jiang Han said, "Next, I will take you to find the lair of the Crimson Demon."
After saying that, the dead Crimson Demon on the ground began to transform into an undead. In less than half a minute, the Crimson Demon, whose body was still relatively intact, became an undead creature, but its strength dropped from the warrior level to the servant level.
"The method of turning corpses into undead creatures is good, but it doesn't seem as convenient as using mind-based markings!" Jiang Shaoxu said with a smile.
"Hmm, but what if it's like this?" As he spoke, Jiang Han clenched his right hand tightly, and only one of the Crimson Demons, which had just transformed into undead creatures, remained standing. The others turned into the ball of ghostly green soul fire in Jiang Han's hand.
The soul fire is the transformation of a living being's soul into an undead after death. It preserves some of the living being's memories while alive, but these memories are incomplete. As the soul fire grows stronger, the memories will be restored.
The degree of memory recovery is related to various factors. As a resurrected undead creature, a mage can peer into its memories. Ancient necromancers used this method to obtain internal clues about the enemy camp.
These were the ancient books Jiang Han had seen in the Ancient Capital Museum. This was Jiang Han's first attempt, and he wasn't very confident about whether he could succeed. But what harm could it do to try?
As for the method Mo Fan used to lead the way with the Little Red Demon in the original work, it wouldn't work. The reason is that someone accidentally killed the Little Red Demon during the battle just now, so even if Jiang Shaoxu wanted to use the mind mark, she couldn't use it.
