Author: Half Life of a Caterpillar

…

After everyone fell asleep, there were sudden faint sounds in the house, like someone getting up to sharpen a knife in the middle of the night.

In the room where Uncle Sheng was, he could be seen frowning and sweating profusely, as if he was in a nightmare. Not far from him, a figure with his back to him was pushing forward with both hands.

Yes, the sound is coming from here.

Suddenly, the muscles in Uncle Sheng's body tensed up and the veins in his neck popped out. He suddenly woke up from the nightmare. When he sat up from the bed, he realized that what he was lying on was not a bed at all but an open coffin.

The sound of him getting up seemed to alarm the person who was sharpening the knife. He stood up stiffly from the ground. A strong smell of corpse smell hit his nose, making Uncle Sheng subconsciously hold his breath.

"Why don't you take a nap? Just take a nap and it'll be fine!"

Following a hoarse and harsh voice, the figure with his back to Uncle Sheng turned around and looked at him with regret, holding a polished butcher knife in his withered fingers and raising it high towards Uncle Sheng's.

Cut off the head.

"Attsu!"

The muffled sound of the butcher's knife striking the coffin was avoided. The uncle didn't have time to think too much. He put his hands on both sides of the coffin, jumped out of it, and then kicked the homeowner on the chest.

Force it back.

boom!

Uncle Sheng jumped up and hit the window. The rotten window shattered immediately after he hit it, and his body fell on the walkway outside.

When he looked up at the village again, he realized that under the dim blue candlelight, these houses looked dilapidated, and some even had no windows, allowing people to see clearly inside the houses.

"not good!"

The house opposite him was the one where Agui went to call the door. Through the hole in the window, he saw that the old woman was already standing there, about to slash at Agui with a knife.

"Agui, wake up!"

A deafening roar resounded in the village. The power contained in the sound seemed to make the old woman's body pause for a moment. Agui, who was awakened by his voice, opened his eyes and screamed in surprise when he saw the coldly shining blade.

Sweating in a cold sweat, he directly kicked the old woman on the spot, and then the carp stood up from the coffin.

Uncle Sheng, who had shouted out the sound just now, turned pale, as if that sound had consumed a lot of his energy.

And his voice not only saved Agui, but also woke up other people. Then the doors were knocked open one after another, and the people inside ran out of them rolling and crawling. As for some who didn't respond,

Those who come here will have no chance to come out.

"Uncle Sheng, what's going on?"

"I don't know, let's find a way to get through this first!"

The people who gathered again asked Uncle Sheng in shock, and Uncle Sheng looked solemnly at the things that were neither human nor ghosts that came out of the room one after another.

Out of a group of fifteen or sixteen people, only eleven or twelve people came out of the room in the end. Those who could not come out of the room were probably dead.

"What kind of monsters are these!"

After a few rounds, everyone was more or less injured, but the attacks they hit on these weirdos didn't seem to have much impact on them.

"Agui, be careful!"

Young Agui was a little uneasy because of these unkillable monsters. He didn't notice the monster standing up again behind him. Just when he was about to be killed by it, a cold light flew over and killed the unkillable monster.

The monster came and gave me a chill.

Everyone was frightened by the sudden change and quickly turned their heads to look. Unexpectedly, a figure was running towards everyone at a fast speed at the entrance of the village.

"Don't be stunned, step back!"

The visitor woke up the people who were stunned at the scene with a sharp shout. He quickly came to Agui's side, grabbed his clothes with one hand and pulled him back, and picked up the iron sword inserted into the weirdo's body with the other hand and swept over him.

.

I saw another strange man rushing over to where Agui had been standing. After the sword was swept across, the strange man's head and body were separated, but no blood spilled out.

"These are corpse ghosts. They are evolved by forcibly locking souls in corpses after death. They carry corpse poison. Those of you who are scratched should be careful not to move too much to speed up the penetration of corpse poison."

The person who rushed over like a savior was none other than Li Mu. After hearing the noise from Uncle Sheng just now, he looked over and saw Agui in crisis.

After a brief confrontation, Li Mu recognized who these weirdos were.

According to ancient records in Maoshan, the corpse ghost is a kind of evil magic derived from the monks' research on the art of immortality.

Trapping people's souls in corpses allows the dead to still maintain their memories of life and continue to live in the world. However, when a person dies, he is dead. Even through magic, the decay of the corpse cannot be delayed. If you want to maintain the state, you must

It sucks the blood of living people to provide vitality to the body, which is somewhat similar to zombies.

But compared with zombies, it seems useless, because sucking blood cannot enhance the strength of ghouls, and as time goes by, the amount of blood needed by ghouls is very large, so the Righteous Alliance once joined forces to attack this secret method, which also allowed

The wight disappeared for a long time.

Even Maoshan's records only recorded the characteristics of ghouls. There was no mention of how to turn people into ghouls. I just didn't expect to encounter ghouls here.

Li Mu didn't have time to think too much about why the corpses appeared here. In addition to the two corpses he got rid of, there were at least sixteen or seventeen others on the scene who were staring at him eagerly.

bass!

With a sword cry, Li Mu held his sword like a wolf into the herd of sheep. The sword light flew and severed limbs fell everywhere. He fought from the beginning of the village to the end of the village before all these slow-moving corpses were eliminated. The wrist holding the sword hilt trembled slightly.

Then, Li Mu slowly exhaled.

Fortunately, these corpses had not been replenished for who knows how long, and their movements were no longer as flexible as before. It was only a little difficult for him to deal with them, but it was not thrilling.

If they were zombies in their heyday, with their characteristics of not being afraid of pain or death, he wouldn't be able to treat them so easily with such a large number.

"Ugh~"

The broken limbs and remains on the ground made the stomachs of several younger people watching suddenly turn, and they felt nauseated and vomited violently on the ground.

"Are you guys okay?"

After Li Mu wiped the edge of the sword clean, he sheathed the sword and walked towards Uncle Sheng and the others.

He looked over them and found that several of them had scratches of varying degrees, so he took out a bag from his waist and threw it to them.

"This is glutinous rice. Apply it to wounds to remove corpse poison."

Ghouls, with the word "corpse" in them, naturally have corpse poison, but they are not as ferocious as zombies, but they can still be fatal if left untreated.

I was so embarrassed when I wrote it.
