370 From zombies to living people
Catherine felt like she was being reborn. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Info When the blood cocoon cracked in half and saw the dark sky, her first action was to reach out and touch her cheek. Once upon a time, flesh and blood seemed to have become an unattainable delusion. After becoming a zombie, her mind seems to be infected, and it becomes a little stiff and slow. And breathing, and heartbeat, and not even blinking for a long time.
The smell of blood around him gradually faded, and the stench of asphalt gradually filled his nostrils. Catherine added another lip, and the remaining blood was sweet and spicy. In fact, when she was in the blood cocoon, she had swallowed a lot of blood. It's just that the sense of taste is not fully recovered, and I can't taste much.
Catherine sat up from her blood cocoon and turned her head to see the zombies waiting for them. She quickly looked around, then recognized Harder and Zhisuo at a glance, and had some guesses about the situation.
"Landing on the island. Zhisuo shouted from afar.
Catherine didn't speak, just looked at Zhisuo, and she couldn't tell if the zombies were friend or foe.
"Landing man, would you still like to choose Stiff Town as a place to stay?" asked Zhisuo directly this time.
"Has Harder become Mayor of the Town?" Catherine asked rhetorically.
"I'm the mayor now. Harder replied.
"Then I'm willing to stay. Catherine didn't hesitate, or she didn't have a choice. Right now, she has just come out of the blood cocoon, and her body has not fully recovered, but she has to face a group of powerful zombies. If you don't agree, you may be killed. The other party is willing to communicate with herself, which means that it will not be unfavorable to her immediately. Compared to the deputy mayor of Alba, who had never even met and sent people to hunt him down, Harder and Zhisu Catherine had been in contact. Judging intuitively, these two people should be able to speak principles and have a rational conversation.
"Okay, as an island climber, you need to make three contributions to the foothold. Harder glanced at Zhisuo who walked to his side, "You've done your first time in the Ghost Swamp, and now you have a chance to do it a second time." ”
Catherine frowned, so eager to ask, it seemed that they were in some difficulty. She suddenly realized that such a big battle in front of her might be used to deal with this difficulty. "How? If I can do it, I can try. The female mage was not in a hurry to agree immediately, and she had already begun to try to communicate the elements of magic while she was talking. However, there are only some fire elements on the Island of the Dead that can communicate, and the magic effect will not be too good.
Zhisu talked about the plans of the Blood Cocoon, the Blood Beast, and the Hermit, and he deliberately did not hide the fact that he had planned to sacrifice Catherine, including the reason for this choice. After hearing this, the female mage couldn't help but turn her head to look at the four blood cocoons beside her, with her magical knowledge, she could try to study this blood-gathering magic circle.
"You want me to find a way to deal with this blood beast in the cocoon and save the others?" asked Catherine.
"Solving the blood beast is considered to be the completion of the task, and it counts as a contribution. Zhisuo nodded, "Rescuing the other undead is not necessary, only an additional reward can be given. ”
"Yes. Catherine tried to get up from the ground, her body still a little limp, and her stomach felt hungry, "But I need to eat something first." ”
Who knew that her words made Harder and Zhisuo stunned for a moment. Zombies are tireless and hungry, and naturally do not need to eat or sleep.
"Are you hungry?" Chisuo reacted first.
"Yes. ”
Harder sniffed hard and whispered to Zhisuo, "She has a strong breath of life in her body, can't she have regained her life?"
"I guess it's because of the blood. "It's going to be a nuisance, and the breath of life will attract other undead." Moreover, this is taboo on the island, if the strong people of the upper plains find out about her existence, Stiff Town will not be able to cope with it at all. ”
"It shouldn't be a big problem for the time being, there is a blood cocoon here, and the upper plain will check the blood cocoon first. Wait for the hermit to come back and let the hermit take care of the lander. Harder thought for a moment and added, "I can't let her go to town either, I have to let her stay here during this time." The zombies in the town also need to be restrained, and those who have not yet fully developed intelligence will only act on instinct, and will definitely attack when they see her. ”
Harder turned around and nodded at the two centaur zombie warriors. "Listen to the lander for the time being, and keep an eye on her. After he finished speaking, he ordered most of the zombies to evacuate and return to Zombie Town.
Zhisuo and two centaur zombie warriors walked up to Catherine. "There isn't much to eat in the realm of the dead," said Zhisuo. ”
Catherine recalls her wilderness survival skills as a mercenary and says, "Can you find some native vegetation or animals?"
After a moment's thought, Chisuo told a centaur zombie a few things and told him to find them. "What are you going to do with these blood cocoons?" he asked the female mage.
"Don't worry, let's take a look first. Catherine surveyed the entire Doji Array and asked for some more details. It's a pity that Zhisuo is not a hermit who sets up the formation, and his knowledge is limited. When Catherine heard from Zhisu about the hermit's plan to use the cursed ghost as a medium to establish a spiritual connection with the undead in the blood cocoon, she finally knew the origin of the resentful spirit that had entered her soul world. Speaking of which, I would also like to thank the reckless soul who brought the energy of the will of fire to the spirit world. Otherwise, it would be difficult for her to gather the six soul clones of the Will of Fire.
The departed centaur zombie soon returned, bringing a kind of grass with black stems and white flowers, and a slimy, dark worm. Catherine, a black-stemmed white-flowered grass she had seen when she landed on the island, told her that it could imprison and feed the soul. Catherine pinched off a small section of the stem and tasted it, the taste was very bitter, it was estimated that it contained toxins, and she did not dare to try to continue eating.
Dark worms are mostly found in the Ghost Swamp, but can also be found in the saprosh forests not far from Stiff Town. This worm is the length of a man's hand, three fingers thick, feeds on carrion, and is a rare native lifeform on the Island of the Dead. Catherine took the worm and got goosebumps all over her body, and the thought of eating it turned out of her stomach unconsciously. She tried several times to hold the worm in front of her, but she couldn't get it.
Let's wait.
Catherine's hunger pangs were slowed by the unappetizing worms. She thought for a moment, then simply took off her hat, shoved the worm in, and turned to observe the Doji again. Judging by her magical knowledge, the structure of this magic array is actually very simple. However, necromancy is a very remote species, and there are almost no magicians on the Eastern Continent who have studied this type of magic. Catherine had only heard a brief introduction to necromancy from her teacher, Ghisling, during her time studying magic.
For example, necromancy is divided into two major directions, curse and blood magic. The magic array in front of him is a typical blood magic.
