The world of Loucheng, somewhere in the wilderness.
This is an unnamed valley with rugged rocks. Black-brown rocks as sharp as razor blades stretch endlessly, and clusters of weeds grow tenaciously in it. It looks extremely desolate.
Five poorly equipped wanderers sat together, each holding a piece of hard grass seed flour cake and drinking cold water to satisfy their hunger.
Put in the bloody leather backpack next to them, there was their harvest this time, which included the heads of corpse monsters and the organs of other monsters as evidence of the hunting mission.
After bringing these harvests to the Wanderer Town, you can exchange them for a lot of rewards from the Black Rock City official.
This time the tide of zombies is overflowing, and an endless stream of corpse monsters are wandering around Black Rock City. Although it gives the controllers of Black Rock City a headache, it also gives these wandering wild cultivators who lick blood at the tip of their swords a chance to make a fortune.
Chance.
As the hunting rewards given by Black Rock City continue to increase, the harvest from one hunt is now worth several times in the past. With such a good job, you must seize the time to do it several times.
It can be seen that several of them are in a good mood and are smiling as they talk.
However, none of the people in the conversation noticed that a dark cloud suddenly appeared on the horizon and was slowly approaching their location.
It was only when this dark cloud was about to cover a few people that a wanderer in the team, Ye Xiu, noticed something unusual.
"Brother, what do you see flying in the sky?"
A thin man frowned and looked at the sky for a while, then turned to the strong man next to him and asked.
The strong man who was called Big Brother by the thin man heard this and looked towards the sky, only to see a group of strange black birds with blood-red eyes swarming towards them, targeting them all.
The wild cultivators in the wilderness have a high sense of danger, which is why they are stronger than the monks in Loucheng.
Before the elder brother could issue a warning, several other companions who noticed the abnormality of the strange bird had already taken their weapons in their hands and started to swipe at the approaching death bird.
The sound of "crackling" kept ringing. Although the viruses carried by these death birds were very terrifying, they themselves were so fragile that a large area was instantly destroyed by the weapons wielded by several people.
But the terrifying thing about this kind of death bird is that it is not afraid of death. If the target being attacked is not contaminated with the virus, then they will never give up the attack.
As more and more corpses of death birds piled up on the ground, someone was finally injured by the death birds that slipped through the net.
The injured person had not yet realized the horror of this toxin. As he exercised violently, the speed of the toxin suddenly accelerated, and his movements also unknowingly slowed down.
A companion noticed something strange about him, but he was too busy dealing with the overwhelming death birds to take care of it. Finally, when a trace of black air spread to his face, the injured man's expression changed drastically.
An unnatural muscle twitch appeared on his face, and it became more and more serious. If you look closely at his eyes, spiderweb-like bloodshot eyes were already covered in his eyes.
"Plop!"
The injured person suddenly fell to the ground, his limbs showing exaggerated twists, and he looked extremely ferocious.
"Old Mo, what's wrong with you?"
After seeing his companion fall, the man known as the boss yelled loudly, but received no response, which made him extremely anxious.
Time passed slowly, and more and more Death Birds were smashed by weapons. Except for the boss, the rest of the people were injured. At the same time, the Death Birds also stopped attacking these people.
The boss was the only one who was not injured. He tried his best to drive away the death bird, and several injured people also helped him.
Ten minutes later, when the last death bird was smashed into pieces, the boss lay limp on the ground, breathing heavily.
"Damn it, what kind of ghost bird is this? Why have I never seen it before?"
After the boss cursed breathlessly, there was no response from the brothers as usual.
He turned around in confusion and saw that all his brothers had fallen to the ground, their limbs twisted and deformed, and their faces had a layer of gray-white skin that only the dead can have.
"Damn it, what's wrong with you?"
The boss's eyes were splitting, and he struggled with his exhausted body to crawl over to take a look.
Although the wanderer Ye Xiu had long been prepared to die in the wilderness, when this day suddenly came, he still couldn't accept it.
The boss crawled in front of a companion. This man was the homeless man named Lao Mo who fell first, Ye Xiu. Only ten minutes had passed, but his face was already frighteningly purple.
I tried breathing and pulse, but it turned out that he had been dead for a long time.
The boss of the Rangers Exploration Team felt so sad, his cloudy eyes turned red, and he couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Giggle..."
A strange sound sounded from beside him. The leader of the exploration team turned his head in surprise when he heard the sound, but found that his companion who had been dead for a long time had already struggled to get up.
"Old Mo... what are you doing?"
The boss of the exploration team felt something bad in his heart, but before he could finish his inquiry, the wanderer Ye Xiu named Lao Mo pounced on the boss, throwing the exhausted boss to the ground.
"Damn, why did you become a zombie..."
The frightened boss didn't finish his words this time either, and was bitten on the neck by Old Mo. Blood splattered all over Old Mo's green and ferocious face.
The boss, whose throat was bitten out, was struggling feebly, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw a few more figures standing up staggeringly from the ground with strange movements. They were his dead companions.
"hehe……"
At the last moment before his consciousness disappeared, the leader of the exploration team gave a wry smile that was mixed with sadness and unwillingness, and then his eyes turned completely black.
In the wild valley, there were black bird corpses that were broken into pieces. Several wanderers with strange movements were lying on the ground, tearing and devouring a mutilated corpse.
"Crack!"
A mutilated arm of flesh and blood stretched out from the middle of these wild cultivators, and then with a violent wave, the two wanderers were knocked aside. Then a skull with only mutilated flesh and broken flesh left came from several of them.
Ye Xiu stood up in the middle, and looking at his remaining clothes, he was clearly the boss of the exploration team.
"hiss……"
The boss, whose leg bones and muscles had been torn out, looked around with blood-red eyes that fell out of his eye sockets. Then he stretched his neck and roared at the hands that had turned into zombies. Then he picked up the weapons that fell on the ground and turned around.
Walking towards Black Rock City.
Those subordinates also picked up their fallen weapons and continued to follow their former boss, staggering forward in the wilderness.
Looking down from a high altitude, where the Death Bird passed by, the corpses of wanderers were getting up from the ground one after another, and then slowly walking towards Black Rock City carrying their own weapons.
This team continues to expand and gather, and from the original bright lights, it gradually turns into a dark place...
