Volume 1 Darkness Rising Chapter 69 The Living Dead
Soon, Zhou Chang swam to the shore and turned over and climbed ashore.
As soon as he came ashore, he heard his name called. Looking in the direction of the voice, I saw Angelina's face full of concern and running towards her.
"They say you're dead if you fell into the lake, but I think you're amazing and shouldn't be dead. Angelina didn't know what was wrong with her, and even she felt a little inexplicable when she said it.
"I'm magical?" Zhou Chang looked dazed when he heard this, but when he saw Angelina's worried appearance, a warmth rose in his heart.
At this time, Zhou Chang saw Zheni and Taizhang coming over again.
"I didn't expect you kid to die, and he didn't die when he fell into such a strange lake. ”
Although Taizhang's voice was very cold, Zhou Chang could still hear a little concern, this guy was a cold-faced and hot-hearted person.
Zhe Nie squatted down beside Zhou Chang, held his hand, and pressed his forehead against it, this was the most solemn thanks of the beast clan, "Young man, you saved my life again, if it weren't for you, I would definitely be buried at the bottom of the lake by now." ”
It turned out that when Zheni came to the lake, he felt that he was affected by the lake's water. He hadn't planned to go near the lake, though he wondered why he had resonated with it. However, he came with a mission this time, so he tried his best to restrain his curiosity.
However, when Zheni saw Taizhang throw the dead body of the wild wolf into the lake, this orc, who had lived for nearly 10,000 years, could no longer hold back his strong curiosity and walked towards the lake.
When he approached the lake, he could still chat with Zhou Chang and Taizhang at first. However, when he felt that someone was looking at him in the lake, and that person's eyes were familiar, like his mother, who had been dead for many years, he involuntarily approached the lake and went to talk to his mother.
And Taizhang had noticed Zhennie's abnormality early in the morning, so he had been watching him vigilantly, but he didn't expect Zhennie to reach out and touch the lake.
At that moment, Taizhang was already sure that Zhennie was affected by the lake, just like those fanatical and crazy beasts that Zhou Chang talked about, and would choose to commit suicide by jumping into the lake. He didn't think much of it, and pounced.
Later, Zhou Chang and Zhennie fell into the lake at the same time, but Zhennie was caught by Taizhang, and he had already come to his senses at the moment when he was dragged into the lake. With the help of Taizhang, they struggled to grab the hand and struggled to climb ashore, but when they looked back at Zhou Chang, he was nowhere to be seen.
So, the two waited by the lake for nearly an hour, feeling that Zhou Chang had no hope of survival, so they paid silent condolences to the lake for a few minutes, and then turned around and walked towards the anxious Lao Feng who was waiting in front.
The three of them returned to the team and told the rest of the family about Zhou Chang's misfortune. However, Angelina didn't believe that Zhou Chang would die like this, and at her strong request, Taizhang and Zheni had no choice but to accompany her to the lake again.
In this way, they waited for about an hour and a half before they found Zhou Chang, who had miraculously survived.
At that moment, Zhou Chang recounted his experience, first of all, he talked about the huge strange face that was enveloped by the faint white light.
After hearing Zhou Chang's description of the characteristics of the strange face, Zhennie frowned and interrupted Zhou Chang's narration, "You mean that the strange face you saw was born without ears?"
Although he didn't know why Zheni asked this, Zhou Chang still nodded.
Zheni's brows furrowed even tighter, and he looked at the sky, the sun was slightly tilted to the west, obviously it was already afternoon, although the afternoon sun was not as strong as at noon, but it was still a little hot on people's bodies. Still, Jennifer felt a chill run down his spine. If you check, what Zhou Chang said is true, what he saw should be one of the servants of the Bright God Clan back then, Isaac with a white face and no ears, and he doesn't know why they appeared at the bottom of this strange lake.
Seeing that something was wrong with Zhe Nie's face, Zhou Chang couldn't help asking, "What's wrong with you?"
Zhou Chang's words broke Zhennie's contemplation, and he lowered his head and glanced at Zhou Chang, who was still sitting on the ground, "Nothing, you continue to speak." ”
Zhe Nie has always been mysterious, and Zhou Chang has long been surprised, so he went on to talk about how he was caught by very thick hair, and touched people's faces and bodies. Then, he tried to run away and was caught by something that looked like a hand, and the reason why he said it was just like a hand was because he felt that thing had bones.
Speaking of this, Taizhang suddenly interjected: "That must be a hand." ”
Zhou Chang was stunned for a moment and asked Taizhang, "Why do you have to be a hand?"
Taizhang glanced at Zhe Nie, and then said: "Because grabbing Zhen Nie's hand, there are no bones." ”
Zhou Chang nodded, and said that the furry hand dragged him down, and then found the wooden cabinet. However, he did not say anything about the woman who looked like Kana in the wooden cabinet, and as for the naked man, he felt troublesome and skipped it in passing.
Speaking directly of the cracks at the bottom of the lake, whirlpools are created, which will almost lead you into the endless abyss. He thought he was going to die, but later, he appeared on the surface of the lake for some reason.
After Zhou Chang finished speaking, Taizhang suddenly frowned, he always felt that Zhou Chang was talking about something wrong. What was wrong in his mind was not the adventures that Zhou Chang had experienced at the bottom of the lake and the strange creatures he encountered, but Zhou Chang himself.
Suddenly, he thought of the key point, and looked at Zhou Chang with strange eyes, "You have been at the bottom of the lake for several hours, haven't you swam out of the lake for breath?"
Zhou Chang was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said blankly: "No, and I don't feel a little suffocated." ”
Hearing Zhou Chang say this, the other three all showed surprised expressions. Zhe Nie suddenly grabbed Zhou Chang's, put his right hand on his pulse, and watched the beating of Zhou Chang's meridians intently.
However, Zhe Nie didn't feel a trace of life, and his squatting body stood up suddenly, and his eyes were like two newborn babies.
Zhou Chang was so frightened that he kicked his feet on the ground hard, and his body slid back more than half a meter away, "Uncle Zhennie, what's wrong with you, don't scare me." ”
When Zhen Nie heard Zhou Chang say this, he knew that he was out of shape, he fixed his mind, and sighed: "I was rude just now, it's just that I have lived for almost 10,000 years, and it is the first time I have seen the real living dead, so I am a little excited." ”
"The living dead?Zhou Chang?" Angelina looked at Zhennie with wide eyes, although she didn't know what a living dead was. However, when I heard the name, I knew that it was definitely not a good thing, and I couldn't help but worry about Zhou Chang.
Taizhang seemed to understand something, he bent down and reached out to probe Zhou Chang's snort, but there was no fluctuation of gas.
Taizhang withdrew his hand and turned to look at Zhennie, "What's going on?"
Zhe Nie said: "As the name suggests, the living dead are the living dead, but he is fundamentally different from the ordinary undead. The undead cannot walk in the sun, and even if you are the master of the undead, you can only hide in the dark. And the living dead, although undead, have no signs of life, such as the beating of the pulse, the breathing of the nostrils. However, the living dead must be able to walk in the sun. ”
Hearing Zhe Nie say this, Zhou Chang's face turned pale, although the living dead that Zhen Nie talked about sounded very powerful. However, the living dead, after all, are also dead.
"I, can I still be saved?" Zhou Chang's voice trembled a little, obviously he couldn't accept this fact.
Zhen Nie looked at Fa Zhouchang in surprise, the probability of becoming a living dead is very low, countless necromancers of the human race once fantasized about being able to evolve into a physique, and this kid in front of him was actually very afraid of this physique.
Zheni pondered for a moment, "In fact, after this kind of physique is formed, it still needs to be stabilized the day after tomorrow. You must go to the cemetery often to absorb the aura of the Yin Spirit. Otherwise, you will become a normal person at any time. ”
Hearing Zhe Nie say this, Zhou Chang breathed a long sigh of relief, "Lao Tzu doesn't need to be dead." ”
Under the great joy, Zhou Chang got a little carried away.
Zhe Nie looked at Zhou Chang as if he had just escaped from the hands of death, and couldn't help but shake his head, ready to persuade Zhou Chang to maintain this physique.
"Let's get out of here, it's weird. Angelina said with a frown.
Hearing Angelina say this, Zheni also felt something strange, he kept his back to the lake, and he couldn't help but want to look at the lake.
Just as he turned his head, Taizhang suddenly took an arrow step, stood behind him, and slapped Zhennie on the shoulder, "Be careful, don't be confused by the lake again." ”
Taizhang reminded him of this beat, and Zhennie suddenly came back to his senses and turned his head away.
"Have you noticed that the lake water seems to affect only beasts," Taizhang said coldly.
Zhenie nodded, "You're right, as Miss Angelina said, we should get out of here now." ”
The audience said that they were leaving, and Zhou Chang hurriedly stood up, and when he threw up his arms and was about to leave, a thin slice suddenly fell out of his sleeve, reflecting the sunlight on his face.
Zhou Chang looked at the thin slice, which seemed to be a thin slice made of the bones of a giant beast, and the thin slice was a little yellowed, as if it had been some years. He bent down to pick up the flake and held it in his hand to see that it was still engraved with ancient bone writing.
So, he stopped and walked in front of Zhenie, and handed the flake over, "This is what I found in the hand of the man with long hair at the bottom of the lake. ”
Zhen Nie took the thin slice from Zhou Chang's hand, put it in his hand and looked at it carefully, and was startled, it was recorded that it was actually a spell of spatial teleportation.
Zhe Nie's face flashed with surprise and excitement, but then it turned calm, and he said to Zhou Chang in that dull voice: "What is engraved on this is indeed the initial text, but these bone characters have never been seen before. Can you lend me this flake for a few days to study and figure it out and tell you? ”
Zhou Chang was not interested in this thin slice, and he said generously: "If you like it, I will give it to you." It's just that this living dead physique on my body, as long as I don't inhale any Yin Spirit Qi, will it really disappear automatically?"
Zhennie was very happy to receive the legendary spell of spatial teleportation, so he told everything he knew about the living dead.
"This kind of living dead human physique, how many undead masters have pursued it all their lives and can't get it, but you are afraid of it like a wolf. You can rest assured. Like people who faked their deaths, they did fit the characteristics of dead people, but it didn't take long for them to come back to life. The living dead have the same physique, except that he can realize that he is not suspended from suspended animation. If you want to maintain this state of your body being suspended from your death and your consciousness forever awake, you can only absorb a large amount of Yin Spirit Qi. However, after a period of time, after the suspended death body is stabilized, there is no need to absorb the yin spirit qi. You are now in the early stage of suspended animation, and without the stability of the Yin Spirit Qi, your suspended death body will recover in a moment or two......"
Zheni said a lot, but Zhou Chang didn't listen to the rest of the words, because he was immersed in the joy of 'not having to die'.
Taizhang kept staring at Zhennie, and when he saw that Zhou Chang was about to give the flakes to Zhennie, although he tried his best to hide the excitement on his face, Taizhang still observed a strange look in his eyes. Although he didn't know what was recorded in the slice, Taizhang was sure that Zhen Nie could read it, otherwise he would not have been able to say so many words.
Although the thoughtful Taizhang saw the clues, he was very cold to other things except for what he was interested in, so he didn't expose Zhennie, but just pouted and said in his heart that he looked down on this guy.
"Senior brother, what's wrong with you?" Angelina couldn't help but ask when she saw Taizhang's expression a little strange.
Taizhang straightened up and replied lightly: "It's nothing, just remembering something unpleasant." As he spoke, he quickened his pace and walked towards the team of donkeys in front of him.
