The key point of a ghoul is its head. If it is not destroyed by a single blow, even if its arms and legs are cut off and a huge disembowelment wound is left on its chest, they will not die.
The terrifying thing about these monsters is that there are almost no pain-sensing nerves in the body, and all fear has disappeared.
They don't know what death is at all. Even if they face a giant dragon that can burn them to ashes with a breath of dragon breath, they will charge without fear of death. And as long as they don't die, no matter how seriously injured they are, they will not die.
Attack the enemy continuously until one of them falls.
Because of this racial characteristic, ghouls have become the most cost-effective cannon fodder, and the ghoul army is always in the first attack sequence among the undead legions.
The ghoul tsunami tactic once made many countries in the Western Continent change their minds after hearing about it. This kind of cheap cannon fodder is an excellent unit that every commander longs to have.
Downton pushed the corpse away, pulled out the dagger, turned around, kicked the ground with his right foot, and rushed out. With all his strength, he opened a distance of more than ten meters in one breath.
The ghouls only focused on fighting over and biting Will's body in front of them, but did not pursue Downton, giving him enough time to rush to a safe distance.
Pires gave a thumbs up gesture to Downton. If he had missed the attack just now, he would become a ghoul's food now.
Tony was furious with jealousy. Downton was too calm, and his ability to adapt to situations was terrifying. If he faced a ferocious ghoul that was much stronger than him, he would definitely run away immediately.
With only five people left, the team fled into the town.
Several ghouls were wandering on the dilapidated streets. When they heard the noise, they rushed over immediately.
"What should I do?" Tony held a dagger with a long and narrow blade in his hand, ready to fight.
"Don't force yourself, find a place to hide first." Robinson quickly inspected the surroundings. Everyone was exhausted after running for so long. Even if they wanted to fight out, they had to regain their strength first.
"When you enter a hotel, there are more rooms and more opportunities to choose from!" Downton pointed at a large six-story hotel about thirty meters away.
"Let's go, Pires, you open the way!" Robinson pulled out a dagger studded with mana gems from his waist. If time was not too tight, he would not be willing to waste the spells stored in it.
If you want to enter the hotel, you have to kill two ghouls blocking the way.
On the long street, there is no way to avoid it.
"Pyroblast!" As Robinson waved his hand, a coconut-sized fireball shot out from his fingertips, trailing hot tail flames and hitting the ghoul.
Boom, the ghoul was blown to pieces, and burning pieces of flesh flew everywhere.
After Pires and Tony worked together to kill another ghoul, the five people rushed into the hotel and ran directly to the second floor without stopping.
"Damn it, I'm still chasing you!" Robinson was furious. He didn't expect to use a magic dagger to kill the ghoul instantly, but he still didn't buy time.
These tireless undead creatures are chasing so closely that even if no one is visible, they can still catch up by following the dense footsteps.
"Run away separately, each one counts as one. Downton, Duren, you go to the second floor!" Pires rushed to the third floor in one breath, his tone was fair and aboveboard.
"I'm lying again!" Tony couldn't help laughing evilly, as if he had already seen the scene of the two unlucky ghosts being cut into pieces.
Robinson, who was in third place, didn't even look at the second floor. He turned the corner of the stairs and continued climbing.
These three people have been old friends for many years and have a tacit understanding. They have used this tactic to escape death three times and deceived more than a dozen adventurers.
"Okay!" Du Lun agreed, and immediately rushed into the corridor on the second floor and found a room to hide.
With quick eyesight and quick hands, Downton grabbed his friend's clothes and dragged him up to the third floor.
"What are you doing? Let them lure the ghouls away, and we can live!" Du Lun was anxious and reminded him in a low voice. At a time of life and death, naturally he could not care about others.
"Impossible!" Downton had no time to explain. When he rushed to the third floor, he sneered in his heart. He didn't realize that the kind-faced Pires could be so cunning.
The corridor on the second floor is a straight line with a wide view. The ghoul is chasing so closely. As soon as you come up, you will first see the unlucky ghost running this way. After all, there is a corner in the stairs leading to the upper floor, which shields Robinson well.
The presence of the three people greatly reduced their chances of being discovered.
It's not that Downton hasn't thought about finding the nearest room to hide in, but what about the distance? What if it's a little far away and he doesn't hide in before the ghoul rushes up? Moreover, the door may also be locked.
What Pires was taking advantage of was that Duren also wanted to use them as bait, but the conditions between the two parties were too different.
During the more than four minutes of escaping, Downton was not just running. When he heard Robinson say there was a small town, he began to think about how to use the town's terrain to escape, otherwise he would not have offered to hide in the hotel in time.
He even speculated on the layout of the hotel.
"Sure enough, the more honest people are, the more deceptive they are when they tell lies. I hope the ghouls like their meat!" Tony rushed into the corridor on the third floor, glanced back subconsciously, and then blurted out as he froze with the triumphant expression on his successful plot.
, "Why did you come up here?"
"It's not good!" Robinson turned around and saw Downton and Duren running up panting, the corners of their mouths twitching, "Damn it, I should have guessed that I couldn't deceive this kid, what should I do now?"
"Trouble!" Pires, who was rushing at the front, turned back. Just as he was about to drive them away, his whole body disappeared into the corridor.
Tony and Robinson were so shocked that they almost dropped their jaws to the floor. Then their vision went dark, but it seemed that only for a short moment, the light returned.
"What's going on?" Du Lun watched the three people disappear out of thin air and subconsciously stopped.
Thump, thump, the sound of rapid footsteps hit his eardrums. Downton knew that the ghoul had caught up with him. He was facing certain death and a slim chance of survival. He had to fight no matter what.
"Don't stop!" Downton pulled Duren, exerted his strength with his legs, and accelerated again. Then his vision fell into endless darkness, and it was like falling into a lake, and there was a sticky feeling around his body.
But it disappears quickly.
Downton lost his balance and immediately put his hands on his head to protect it, then fell heavily to the floor and rolled out.
"What is this place?" Tony climbed up and looked at the dusty room, confused.
"Keep your focus and fight!" Downton growled. Five people were here, so there was no reason why the ghoul couldn't catch up.
Sure enough, as soon as Downton finished speaking, a ghoul appeared out of thin air with a strong stench. However, this guy also lost his balance and fell because he suddenly passed through the teleporters.
"Thunder Strike!" Pires roared as a tiger and rushed to the ghoul's side. At the same time, he stamped his left foot on the ground quickly and activated his combat skills. Some blue arcs of electricity immediately spread around.
The ghoul was electrocuted and there was a brief stalemate.
Phew, with a dull sound of breaking the wind, the Viking heavy sword struck its head and split it into two pieces.
Robinson swung his dagger and released a pyrotechnic, destroying the second charging ghoul.
The pieces of meat burned, fell with crackling crackles, and hit the ground, splattering choking dust.
The upper body of the third ghoul appeared, but before it could rush in, the body suddenly shattered.
Tony held the dagger in his back hand and stared closely at the place where the ghoul appeared. Fortunately, the fourth one did not come out after all.
The ghouls caught up to the third floor and suddenly lost all traces of their prey. They were stunned. These monsters couldn't think at all, so they didn't search the corridor. They just relied on instinct and wandered away.
The five people, armed with sharp knives, were on alert for a few minutes, but never saw the ghoul appear. They relaxed and sat down on the ground.
"Is this teleportation?" Tony took a few breaths and looked at Robinson with some uncertainty.
"Yes!" Robinson nodded and looked around.
This is a spacious master bedroom. Dust is accumulated everywhere, more than an inch thick, as if it is submerged in the long river of time.
Robinson traveled all over the country, visited seven countries, and saw a lot, but he couldn't recognize this decorative style.
"Didn't you see the portal?" Du Lun was puzzled.
"The magic energy to maintain the portal has been used up, so naturally it has no body. Our luck is so good. Did you see that the last ghoul was torn apart by the space energy before it could come over because of the lack of magic energy in the portal?
Cracked."
Robinson pointed at the surrounding walls, which were carved with complicated and mysterious magic circles, and each node was inlaid with magic stones. However, now all the magic stones were cracked, which was a sign that the magic energy had been exhausted.
Magic stones are a natural mineral that takes at least hundreds of millions of years to form. They contain rich magical energy and are the purest magical energy. Magical energy users of any different professions can directly absorb and absorb them.
It is also an indispensable fuel in the magic world. Magic potions, forging, alchemy, and many magic industries all use magic stones to provide magic energy.
"Who built the portal here?" Du Lun was very curious, "It is said that this is a very advanced magic subject that ordinary dragon-slaying magicians don't understand!"
"Hey, why do you care about this? The portal is gone, how can we go back?" Tony's words caused everyone to fall into silence, with deep worry on their faces.
"If you find enough magic stones to replace them, you should be able to open the portal."
Before Pires could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Tony.
"Brother, are you kidding me? Counting the nodes on the magic circle, it costs more than a hundred yuan to fill. Where can we find them?" Tony looked depressed.
"Let's find out what kind of place this is first!" Pires sighed and walked towards the blinds. The light in the bedroom was dim, and the slightest movement would stir up dust. Staying here for a long time would make people feel depressed.
"Have you noticed? There is a lot of free magic energy in the space. It is at least three times that of Delankfurt, no, five times!" Robinson felt the concentration of magic energy with his soul power, making his face filled with ecstasy. "
If I practice here, I can quickly reach the sixth soul level, or even be promoted to the war level, no problem!"
Before everyone had time to digest this happy cake, Pires, standing in front of the blinds, screamed with horror on his face.
"Come and see!"
