"What's going on? How can it be ...... in the mountains? Such a large horde of living human corpses? ”

Aya said in a trembling voice, and involuntarily leaned towards Li Qing, as if she was looking for a sense of security in Li Qing. [Chinese.com. When she approached, Li Qing could feel her body, and she was actually trembling slightly.

As a vampire, what Aya fears most is living corpses.

The restraint of living corpses against vampires is more ruthless than that of werewolves, at least vampires still have to fight when they encounter werewolves, and ordinary werewolves can't beat high-level vampires as powerful as Aya. But living corpses are different, even the lowest living corpse, as long as they can touch Aya, they will make her truly die in an instant.

When the plague of living corpses first broke out, all the creatures on the continent did not know about the living corpses, and they all paid a heavy price. The same goes for vampires.

Aya had seen a powerful vampire assassin killed by a blood slave who suddenly turned into a living corpse.

That Aya's kindred, although he was unable to learn magic due to his limited intelligence, also had the rank of seventeen assassins. But such a powerful vampire assassin was actually killed by a human blood slave who was incapacitated.

The human blood slave suddenly turned into a living corpse, and Ho Ho screamed and lunged at the vampire assassin. The vampire assassin grabbed out with his claws and tried to tear the blood slave who dared to rebel against his master to shreds, but as soon as his claws touched the blood slave, the vampire assassin instantly turned into a real corpse.

Aya was completely stunned.

She couldn't believe what she was seeing, and even thought she was hallucinating. It wasn't until the living corpse of the blood slave howled and pounced on her, and was so close to her, that she panicked and used a spell to deal with the living corpse.

On the day of the outbreak of the plague of living corpses, half of the blood slaves in the Bloodclan castle, as well as the living minions of the vampires, were infected by the plague at the same time and turned into living corpses. Living creatures that were not infected by the first wave of the plague were mostly caught off guard and infected by the bites of living corpses that burst into attack.

The vampires in the castle suffered heavier losses.

At first, all the vampires thought it was just a joint rebellion of blood slaves and living minions, and thought it could be easily suppressed. As a result, many vampires, like the vampire assassin, inadvertently attacked the living corpses with their bare hands, thinking that they could capture them and kill all the slaves who dared to defy the rule of the bloods.

The result was naturally tragic.

In just ten minutes, the low-level bloods in the castle were almost completely lost, and the middle-level bloodlines were also mostly lost. Two of the high-level powerhouses, including the seventeenth-level vampire, died.

After paying such a heavy price, the vampires who survived the first wave of attacks finally understood the characteristics of living corpses.

The surviving vampires never dared to touch the living corpse again. They gathered a small number of surviving blood slaves and minions, and let them stand in front of them, sniping at the living corpses with spells, bows, and throwing weapons from afar.

Fortunately, there were not too many living creatures in the Blood Clan's castle, and the living creatures infected with the plague could not form the most terrible living corpse frenzy, and the surviving vampires and a few blood slaves and minions finally won the victory, killing all the living corpses in one day.

After this battle, the power of the vampire castle was weakened by eighty percent. In order to replenish their strength, the blood slaves who fought side by side with the vampires and proved their loyalty and courage in the battle were all transformed into vampires in the end.

In the days that followed, vampires old and new struck out, capturing blood slaves to stock up on food, while capturing powerful enough intelligent creatures in the Mulan Mountains to enslave them with magic and make them new minions.

After the outbreak of the plague, the vampires worked for more than three months before they were able to restore the castle's strength to sixty percent of its peak. The lost mid-to-high-end combat power cannot be regained in the make-up time.

After all, newly transformed vampires need time to grow, and more than three months is not enough. The newborn vampires are also unable to withstand the magic of the blood marrow, and cannot use the blood marrow to help them advance quickly.

And powerful alien minions are not something that can be cultivated overnight. Alien minions enslaved by magic can look dull and stupid for the first year. It takes up to a year of constant training to restore their dexterity to the way it was before it was magically controlled.

It was precisely because of the great loss of the strength of the vampire castle that it was broken by the three werewolf clans the day before yesterday. If it weren't for that, let alone the three werewolf clans, even if there was one more werewolf clan, it would be impossible to attack the core area of the castle.

The plague of living corpses has weakened the vampire castle, and the absolute restraint of the living corpses against the vampires has left a deep shadow in Aya's heart.

Although more than three months have passed, and although on the day of the outbreak of the plague, Aya had used magic to kill many living corpses, and even killed a living corpse warlock with mutated foreign minions, but the fear of living corpses was still deeply imprinted in her heart.

For many nights, as soon as Aya closed her eyes, she couldn't help but think of the terrible scene of the vampire assassin grinning and grabbing at the living corpse, only to be killed by some mysterious force the moment he touched the living corpse.

The sight recurred in her mind, and she shuddered.

She knew that if she hadn't been lucky enough to be a little farther away from the living corpse, causing the living corpse to attack the vampire assassins who were closer to her first, then it was probably herself who died.

Because although she has a powerful spell-casting ability, she is a vampire with a bloodthirsty nature, so like all vampires, she likes to tear the body of living creatures with her bare hands, and is keen to dig out the hearts of living creatures with her bare hands.

She, like all vampires, loves the sweet taste of blood splashing everywhere and bathing in the rain of blood. I am even more obsessed with the feeling of holding the heart of a living creature in my hand. She likes to feel the strong heartbeat and taste the sweetest and hottest blood in her heart.

This is a hopelessly group habit of vampires, and even powerful vampire spellcasters cannot change it.

Because of this, Aya knew that if the living corpse really pounced on her, she would definitely do the same thing as the vampire assassin.

And what happens if you do that...... It's eternal, true death.

The fear of the living corpse has almost penetrated deep into Aya's bone marrow. As soon as she saw a living corpse, she would tremble like a little girl frightened by bugs. Even if she can kill a large area of ordinary living corpses with her hands, just like a little girl can slap a large group of bugs to death. But the crushing of strength can't eliminate her psychological fear.

So after seeing the large group of living corpses in the valley ahead, Aya instinctively wanted to find a sense of security, and couldn't help but lean on Li Qing's side, and even shrank behind him like a weak little girl.

Her hands trembled slightly, she grabbed Li Qing's arm tightly, poked half of her head out of Li Qing's shoulder, looked at the group of living corpses in the valley in horror, and said in a trembling voice: "There are so many living corpses...... What to do? What are we going to do? ”

"Don't be afraid. No big deal. Li Qing patted her hand lightly and comforted her softly.

When he was in Mulan City, he and Chu Lingfeng had heard Angelina talk about the absolute restraint of living corpses against undead creatures, so they could understand Aya's fears. Although he often treated Aya without saying anything and torturing her mercilessly, Aya was scared like a quail at this time, and of course he would not play any more prestige on her.

Comforting Aya in a soft voice, Li Qing said again: "The group of living corpses is so far away from us, they can't find us." We can wait for them to leave, or simply take a detour. ”

At this time, Li Qing and the others were on a mountain bag. The mountain is not too high, only a little more than 100 meters. Below is a narrow valley of living corpses.

This distance is actually not too far, but the dense forest gives Li Qing and the others a good cover. As long as Li Qing and the others didn't deliberately make too much movement, or threw a lot of blood, the living corpses would not be able to find them.

However, that long and narrow valley is the only way for Li Qing and the others. On either side of the valley are two huge mountains thousands of meters high. The two huge mountains that stretched for dozens of miles faced the side of Li Qing and the others, and there were cliffs hundreds of meters high everywhere, and the terrain was very steep, and it was difficult for apes to climb.

The narrow valley sandwiched between two mountains is the only shortcut to get past the two mountains. If you take a detour, whether you go to the side or to the right, you will have to walk more than 200 kilometers.

Of course, with Li Qing's strength, even if the shortcut to the valley is blocked, it is not too difficult to climb over hundreds of meters of cliffs. Aya is not a problem, and even Philene El has a way to climb it. But apart from the three of them, the rest of the team was unable to climb over.

This time, in addition to the detour, you can only wait for the group of living corpses to leave and make way out of the valley passage.

"It's nothing to take a detour, it's just an extra day or two." Chu Lingfeng squinted his eyes, crawled behind a large rock, and poked his head out to look at the group of living corpses below, "But don't you think it's strange? This is the depths of the Mulan Mountains! Deep in the mountains and dense forests, where are there so many human living corpses? The whole valley is stuffed, and there are thousands of ......."

"It's kind of weird." Herisis crawled to Chu Lingfeng's side and looked down with her probe, "Although the living corpse runs fast and jumps high, it is not flexible in its turns, and it will only go on a rampage like a bison. Deep mountains and forests are not a good place for them to hunt. Besides, living corpses only act on instinct, even if they evolve a lord-type living corpse with a little intelligence, it is impossible to bring so many living corpses into the mountains, right? Don't...... Someone drove the hordes of living corpses? ”

"Wouldn't it? Who can drive a horde of living corpses? ”

The elves were stunned by Khrisis's whimsical statement, and lowered their voices to discuss, "Impossible, right? Not even a necromancer can manipulate a living corpse......"

"Yes, the living corpse and the living creature are incompatible, and they can't communicate at all. It seems that only a smarter living corpse warlock can drive a living corpse a little. But the Living Corpse Warlock is the same as the Living Corpse. ”

"That being said, but what is going on in the valley? Living corpses have a strong sense of territory and will not leave their territory easily. Even if a lord-level living corpse warlock appears, it is impossible to give up the territory and take his men into the mountain, right? ”

"Is there really something driving the living corpses?"

"I think it's possible that a new type of lord-type living corpse warlock has emerged. Maybe it's a giant dragon that lives in the Mulan Mountains, infected and turned into a living corpse...... So he went out of the mountain to gather these men and brought them back. ”

"Your imagination is too rich. The dragon originally had a strong sense of territory, and after becoming a living corpse, he lost his mind, even if he became a living corpse, his territorial concept would be stronger. How could it be possible to run out of the mountain to gather a group of men? Besides, the dragon is so strong, and it is super strong to become a living corpse, so what's the use of asking for these living corpses? ”

Although the elves are also afraid of the living corpse, they are only afraid of the sea of living corpses and the powerful living corpse warlocks. No amount of living corpses can scare them from a safe distance. Therefore, everyone was enthusiastic about the discussion and put forward novel ideas one after another.

Regarding the discussion of the elves, Li Qing neither stopped nor interjected, condensed his eyes, and his eyes swept carefully among the living corpses in the valley. At the same time, he asked, "Aya, is there anything special about this valley?" ”

"No, no!" Aya said tremblingly, "As far as I know, there are no lairs of powerful creatures in this valley, no ancient ruins, and no spatial rifts that connect outer space or heterotopic planes...... Except that it's a shortcut, there's nothing special about it. ”

"Really? Since there is nothing special, what is it for...... Hey? As he was speaking, Li Qing suddenly let out a sigh of surprise, and his eyes focused on the center of the corpse.

In the center of the corpse group, there were more than a dozen extremely tall living corpses, covered in heavy armor, looking like human heavy-armored knights. It's not like Li Qing hasn't seen the living corpse in armor, so it's not strange. But those dozen or so heavily armored living corpses are not only wearing armor, but they are also holding weapons!

What shocked Li Qing even more was that in the center of the dozen or so heavily armored living corpses, there was a living person wearing a black robe and a hood!

That's right, that's a live indeed.
