The moonlight shone obliquely on Angelina's side face, and the already pretty face looked even more innocent.

"Homesick?" said Taizhang with a glance at Angelina.

Angelina nodded, "I miss my sister, she must be sitting in front of the window and looking at the moon now." ”

"Well, Angelina does like the moon very much, and sometimes we brothers make fun of her for being an elven girl. Taizhang didn't have his usual arrogance at this time, and said like a family.

"Well, my father said that our grandmother was an elf. Angelina clasped her hands on her knees, "The elves love the moon the most, and I think my sister and I have inherited our grandmother's bloodline." ”

Angelina chatted with Taizhang for a while, and before she knew it, she fell asleep.

In the second half of the night, Tamar woke up from his sleep and took over the position of Taizhang's vigil. Among this group of people, only she and Taizhang are more reliable, counting on others to keep vigil, maybe they will provoke the demon instead. It's better to let them fall asleep.

"Thank you. Taizhang is not very good at expressing his emotions, this is already the most polite thing he can say.

Tamar shrugged his shoulders at Taizhang, "I don't care, but you have to keep vigil after you have suffered from guilt." ”

Taizhang didn't answer, smiled bitterly, touched a corner of the cave, leaned against the stone wall and fell asleep groggily with his eyes closed.

Tamar sat at the entrance of the cave, bored looking at the cold moonlight, and wanted to practice the skills of astrology and positioning to pass the time.

At this moment, there was a slight sound of footsteps from the cave, and when I looked back, I found that Zhou Chang had stood at the entrance of the cave at some point.

Through the faint moonlight that slanted to the entrance of the cave, Tamar saw Zhou Chang's appearance clearly at this time, and couldn't help but be taken aback. I saw a thick layer of hoarfrost all over Zhou Chang's body, and there was a faint trace of cold air.

Zhou Chang clasped his body tightly with both hands, ignoring Tamar's surprised eyes, and walked straight to the outside of the cave, not far from the entrance of the cave, running back and forth, as if he wanted to resist the cold in his body in this way.

Tamar also heard Zhou Chang say that when he was a child, he seemed to have been invaded by some kind of necromancy, and recently it suddenly became very serious, and his body often showed strange symptoms.

However, Tamar didn't look like Zhou Chang's situation was like a necromancer, but like he was infected with some strange cold.

Tamar stood up and walked over to Zhou Chang.

At this time, the chill on Zhou Chang's body was much better because of the heat brought by running. He saw Tamar coming over and smiled at Tamar, "Isn't it strange that I'm sick with white frost?"

Tamar laughed dryly, "It's a little weird, but compared to the weirdness of Kana's body wrapped in ice, it feels very normal." ”

Zhou Chang actually didn't believe that Kana was a spy of the demon clan, but he had no reason not to let others not suspect her, there were really too many strange things about her, but the most suspicious thing was not the weird things about her, but that she was unwilling to explain to others at all.

Seeing Tamar mention Kana, Zhou Chang was speechless.

Tamar added, "It's a long night, it's too boring and it's easy to get sleepy, can you lend me that book?"

Zhou Chang didn't care too much about the book with the beast head and gold face that Sakya claimed to be a sacred relic of the Wu Clan, in his eyes, it was just an object that could be exchanged for a few gold coins. Hearing Tamar say this, he nodded, tiptoed into the cave, found the place where he put the book, took it in his hand, and quietly walked out of the cave again.

As soon as he walked out of the cave, Zhou Chang suddenly felt that his body was several times colder than before, and his whole body seemed to be frozen, and he couldn't move his hands and feet.

Tamar, who was not far away, saw Zhou Chang walking out of the cave with the book, but halfway through, he suddenly stopped moving, looking at himself with a pair of eyes, he was a little puzzled, he called Zhou Chang and didn't answer, his heart was even more strange, and he walked to Zhou Chang's side.

At this moment, Tamar suddenly found that the hoarfrost on Zhou Chang's body had solidified into ice, refracting the moonlight and emitting brilliant colors.

Tamar didn't have the heart to appreciate the ice moonlight, her intuition told her that Zhou Chang's illness must have worsened, although as an explorer, she knew some medical skills, but she could only stare at this strange symptom that she had never heard of. So, she ran into the cave and woke everyone else, after all, one person can't think of a way, maybe five can come up with it.

The crowd opened their sleepy eyes and followed Tamar out of the cave. At this time, the ice condensed on Zhou Chang's body was already more than an inch thick, and his eyes could blink twice just now, but now they have been sealed by ice.

Everyone was startled when they saw Zhou Chang like this, and the fat man who cared about Zhou Chang the most walked over quickly. He touched Zhou Chang's body, and suddenly it was like a cold and piercing spring water pouring into his body.

The fat man shivered a few times and hurriedly retracted his hand. Although he retracted his hand, he still felt that his palm was as cold as if it was in an ice cellar, and when he raised his hand, he saw that there was a layer of hoarfrost on his hand.

The fat man rubbed the hoarfrost on his hand and said with a crying voice: "Zhou Chang, it's not winter yet, don't you hibernate so soon." ”

Taizhang glanced at the fat man, and he would always sneer at the fat man's stupid actions and words. But this time, the fat man's words seemed to make him think of something, he frowned, and suddenly asked Tamar, "When did Zhou Chang become like this?"

Tamar told Zhou Chang that he first had only hoarfrost on his body, and then went into the cave to get a book, and suddenly began to get worse.

Taizhang pinched his smooth chin and said to Tamar, "That is to say, before Zhou Chang took that book, there was only a layer of hoarfrost on his body, and it did not solidify into ice." I think the problem should be in that book. ”

After Taizhang's words, Tamar's eyes lit up, could it be that the reason for the aggravation of Zhou Chang's condition was that book?

Thinking of this, Tamar immediately walked to Zhou Chang's side, and said that it was strange that Zhou Chang's whole body was frozen into ice, but the book did not even have a little frost.

Tamar didn't have the heart to think about the reason, and the most important thing now was to save Zhou Chang. At that moment, he held the book with both hands and pulled it outward, pulling it out of Zhou Chang's hand.

The moment the book left Zhou Chang's hands, the frozen ice on Zhou Chang's body actually began to melt. In less than a minute, the ice on his body melted into water and flowed down his body to the ground.

After a while, Zhou Chang's stiff and numb body began to move, only to hear him scream, "It's so cold!"

With that, he ran back and forth with his body in his arms.

Everyone saw that Zhou Chang looked quite energetic, and they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in their hearts.

At this moment, the book that had been dragged by Tamar suddenly glowed inky blue. Tamar was startled, his hands didn't hold it firmly, and with a thud, the book fell to the ground.

When they heard the movement, they all looked down at the ground. At this time, the inky blue light was gradually shrinking, and in the end, only the light could be seen in the gap of a page.

Curious, Tamar couldn't help but reach out and pick up the book again, and turned to the shining page, and suddenly found that the text on that side no longer turned, but showed a strange pattern and text.

"Hey, what are these words?" said Tamar to himself, frowning.

Before the words fell, Taizhang and the others came over and looked at the written one after another. When I saw the strange words on it, I couldn't help but be amazed.

Angelina suddenly said, "This should be the text of the undead. ”

Hearing Angelina say this, everyone's eyes shifted from the words on the book to her, as if they wanted her to decipher these strange words and patterns.

Angelina used her right index finger to point to the eight text-like symbols at the top of the page and said, "I have seen these eight words in an old book, although I don't know them, but someone has annotated them. It was the old undead spell 'Corruption comes, the dead are reborn.' ’”

As he spoke, he moved his index finger to the pattern below, "As for the humanoid pattern of committing suicide and kneeling on the ground, it seems to be performing some kind of sacrificial activity, or some kind of ritual of the undead." ”

The fat man also pointed to the long-haired woman on the other page, "What does this woman mean?"

Angelina frowned, "This woman should be the legendary goddess of the night who created the night and the undead - Hessehi." ”

The fat man slid his finger down, pointing to a baby wrapped in an inky blue halo at the woman's feet on the page, "Who is this child?"

As he spoke, he suddenly saw that there were many graves around the baby, and it was gloomy and quite terrifying. He was about to look away from his eyes, when he suddenly thought of something, and said, "You don't see this place like a mass grave, this baby can't be Zhou Chang, right?"

Before the fat man's words fell, a familiar sneer came from his left, and he didn't need to look to know that it was Taizhang.

Every time he heard Taizhang's sneer, the fat man would burst into a nameless fire, he glared at Taizhang, and scolded: "Do you think you are an undead, and you still learn the undead ghost smile!"

Zhou Chang heard the fat man say that this baby might be himself, and couldn't help but walk over quickly to join in the fun, he glanced at the pattern, and found that it was not the mass grave that Grandma Han picked up him at all, so he asked Angelina who this baby is?

Angelina thought for a moment and said, "Legend has it that the first ruler of hell, the King of the Underworld, was born to the goddess of the night, Hessehi, and I think this baby should be the King of the Underworld. ”

"How many other masters of hell?" asked Angelina curiously.

Before Angelina could answer, Tamar suddenly said, "Hell was once ruled by two powerful undead, one was the King of the Nether, and the other was King Aja, the grandson of the King of the Nether. ”

"There has always been a legend that the second lord of hell, King Aja, killed his grandfather in order to rule over the undead. However, this guy didn't end well, three thousand years ago, he was defeated by the combined forces of the alliance of people, demons, and witches, and sealed and banned him. Now, there is no master of hell, otherwise the Chaos Continent would not be so peaceful. ”

The fat man seemed to understand something, and nodded, "I often hear the old people in the village say that the lord of hell, King Aja, has been sealed, so the undead can't harm the living beings of the continent, so we can live a peaceful life." It turns out that this is all true. ”

The crowd talked about the undead for a while, and then began to wonder how the strange book with two pages of text that would turn on one side could suddenly become the text of the undead. In the end, everyone decided that this must be related to the necromantic qi on Zhou Chang's body.

After talking for a while, Kana took out the cold jade and asked Zhou Chang to absorb the water on his clothes.

When they saw that it was still dark, they all went back to the cave and went back to sleep.

Outside the cave, only Tamar was left keeping a solitary vigil, and she studied the strange book as she watched the movements around her. She flipped the book to the side where there was bone writing, and then to the side where it had just appeared. Then I looked through the other pages and found that the other pages were still spinning text.

After reading it for a while, she felt dizzy, so she closed the book and practiced her astrological positioning skills.

As soon as it was dawn in the morning, Tamar went back to the cave and woke up the people.

This is not a place to stay for long, and you should get out of here as soon as possible. However, the crowd disagreed on the route to be taken.

Angelina suddenly offered to go to the Night City to retrieve her staff, and Zhou Chang was about to go back to get the iron sword that had been passed down home.

The fat man said that he would not go back, and although Tamar also wanted to go back to save his brother, she knew that Night City was extremely dangerous, and if she was caught again this time, she would probably never have a chance to escape again.

As for Kana, she had no opinion on going to the Night City or leaving the land of the Demon Clan, and Taizhang, who had always given people wisdom and decision, suddenly hesitated.

The five people all looked at Taizhang, as if waiting for his statement.

At this time, the sun had risen, and the bright sunlight shone into the cave, Taizhang raised his eyes and suddenly found that there was a mural above the stone cave.

Taizhang stood up and pointed to the murals on the stone wall and said to everyone, "You see a mural here, it seems to be very similar to what we saw in the underground palace of Dark Night City. ”

When everyone heard Taizhang say this, they temporarily put aside their argument and looked in the direction that Taizhang was pointing, only to see that the mural depicted the shirtless man, who was pushed to the ground by two men in white robes, kneeling in front of a tall man.

The tall man in the mural is unusually majestic, holding the moon in his left hand and the sun in his right.

Behind the tall man, there was a group of strange-looking people, who were prostrate on the ground, as if they were confessing their sins to the tall man.
