Chapter 275: The First Battle of the Legendary Land

As soon as Li Mengnan's eyes reached the object, a fish jumped to the side and took refuge in a low weed.

The rest of the people were also slow to react, and when they saw what they were seeing, they immediately looked for nearby shelter in case of a surprise attack.

It turned out that several people were obviously overly sensitive, except for the crackling sound of flames and the accompanying whirring of wind, there was no abnormal sound within a radius of 100 meters.

"Looks like we're lucky, we just happened to stagger a massacre."

Padio clapped his hands and stood up, carefully picking off the grass stalks and dead leaves that were stuck on the skirt one by one, frowning a few times from time to time, very dissatisfied with this harsh environment of the original ecology.

"This pseudo-lady must be a Virgo." Guo Yimin whispered in Li Mengnan's ear.

Li Mengnan smiled noncommittally, squatting down to carefully examine the corpses on the ground.

Although he is not a forensic professional, this is not a criminal investigation scene after all, and there is no need to analyze the cause of death of the deceased in detail, but only need to know what kind of attack the deceased died under, so as to roughly judge the danger that his side may face.

After examining several corpses, Li Mengnan wiped the blood on his hands from the blades of grass on the ground, got up and said, "Padio is right, this is indeed a massacre. ”

"Oh? How so? ”

Guo Yimin covered his nose and leaned over and asked, just now he also checked a few corpses in the same way, and the bloody scene made him sick enough, and he couldn't see any clues at all.

The HX Research Institute has corresponding training for Dream Walkers such as injury testing, but since the people who entered the legendary land this time are all newcomers, most of the short training time is focused on combat skills, and many people have not yet been exposed to related miscellaneous items.

Huang Hao, Lao Man and a few others also gathered over, and Li Mengnan was face-to-face in a small circle, only Padio, the pseudo-mother, stood a few meters away from everyone with her arms crossed, her expression was as cold as ever.

Li Mengnan dragged the corpse of a middle-aged man, tore off his shirt, and exposed the sturdy upper body that had not yet lost its bloody color in front of everyone.

"There were probably more than 50 bodies here, all of them adult men, no women or children...... Judging from their injuries, all the fatal wounds were in the back, and their faces were terrified, apparently they had encountered something that frightened them before they died, so that they could not make any resistance, and they were slaughtered one after another in the race for their lives. ”

"I don't resist even if I know it's death, it's really white to grow that pout below." Dongzi touched his fingers and pouted.

"It's not that simple." Padio walked over and threw a few shoddy short knives in front of the group, "These people are all armed with weapons, and most of them have old scars on them, which shows that they are not helpless civilians, and from the inferior equipment and scattered formation, it is likely that they are a group of bandits." ”

"Bandit...... Good retro profession. ”

The fat man Guo Yimin picked up a short knife, waved it a few times and inserted it into his waist, although the quality of this short knife is not as good as the kitchen knives sold in supermarkets in the real world, but after all, it is better than his bare hands.

Li Mengnan also picked up a dark gray wrought iron short knife about sixty centimeters long from the ground, checked it slightly, and said, "The weight of this knife is about three kilograms, and from this weight, it can be inferred that the physique of ordinary humans in this world should be similar to that of humans in the real world. ”

Huang Hao also picked up a short knife and hung it on his body, and took another short bow with extremely rough workmanship and more than a dozen bone arrows.

"Would you use this? The bow and arrow are different from the crossbow, and they can't be played with for a few years. Dongzi kindly reminded that in fact, he also wanted to play remote, at least it was relatively safe, but it was a pity that he had never been exposed to this retro long-range catapult weapon except for seeing it on the picture, and he could only sigh helplessly.

"My dad used to be on the provincial team, and my family has three bows alone, although they are all compound bows, but the general operation should be about the same." Huang Hao pulled the bowstring, and the Dream Walker's body, which was far beyond the limits of ordinary people, easily pulled the simple wooden bow full, "The strength of this bow is too small, and it can shoot thirty meters to the sky." ”

"Haozi, can you put down these people alone?" Guo Yimin seemed to think of something, and turned his head to Huang Hao beside him and asked.

"If Brother Li's judgment is accurate, I will fight a maximum of ten without considering injury." Huang Hao hugged his shoulders and said expressionlessly.

"That means that the overall strength of these people should be about the same as ours, and if they can easily slaughter them, they can obviously crush us lightly."

Speaking of this, Guo Yimin's fat face suddenly turned a little pale.

Lao Man and Dongzi couldn't help but be moved, obviously their luck was really good, if they had entered the legendary place earlier, they might have been a corpse on the ground at this moment.

"Who killed these bandits?"

This gang of bandits is also a group of poor ghosts, and the only decent weapons are four short knives and a wooden bow, and Lao Man can only pick up a sharpened wooden stick to defend himself.

Although the lethality of this thing is limited, it is better than nothing in the end.

"It's not people who kill these bandits." Li Mengnan pointed to the wound on the back of the corpse on the ground, "Look at these wounds, most of them are distributed in parallel lines, obviously not caused by some weapon, but the claw marks of some kind of beast." ”

"And tooth marks - all on the neck, killing in one bite." Padio tossed a stripped corpse over, its throat covered with flesh and blood, with visible signs of biting.

Everyone looked at each other and nodded, seeing a little scruple in each other's eyes.

Obviously, the only ones who can cause such a killing are the monster minions of Dracula, the vampire count of this legendary world.

Giggles!

Suddenly, there was a strange sound around, and everyone quickly discovered that it was actually from the dead bodies on the ground.

These corpses obviously can't be called "dead corpses" at this moment, and the cold bodies that should have lost their lives climbed up from the ground one after another, raised their arms, and walked at a slower pace than ordinary people walking, staggering and staggering towards Li Mengnan and the other six people.

"! Is it a zombie? Shouldn't this legendary monster be a vampire? How did you get rid of the route of the biological crisis? Do you want to dance like this? ”

The fat man Guo Yimin clenched the short knife in his hand, his face was strange, but there was not much fear in his eyes.

Whoever can pass the guò dreamwalker test did not crawl out of the mountain of corpses and blood, and no matter how wasted he was, he would not be intimidated by this little scene.

"This is supposed to be a living corpse, and like vampires, it is an undead creature, which is very common in Western legends, and has nothing to do with biochemical viruses."

Huang Hao drew the wooden bow, and the bone arrows were so fast that there was no need to aim at a distance of less than ten meters, and each one was inserted extremely accurately from the most fragile eye sockets of the living corpse, and disgusting mucus spurted out.

Five or six living corpses in the front row fell in response, and a few others tripped in the back.

However, Huang Hao's bone arrows were only a few, which could only play a little restraining against dozens of living corpses, Li Mengnan exchanged glances with the surrounding people slightly, lifted the short knife he had just obtained from the corpse, and rushed straight forward to meet the group of living corpses.

As the lowest level of cannon fodder among the undead, the living corpse is relatively durable in addition to its rough skin and thick flesh, and it is even inferior to another cannon fodder-level undead creature with the same name as the "skeleton soldier" in all other aspects.

The number of more than 50 was obviously not enough to give Li Mengnan and the others a crushing advantage, and the empty wilderness could not form an effective encirclement, and under the guerrilla tactics of Li Mengnan and the others fighting and leaving, the living corpses were skinned layer by layer like onions, and they were quickly slaughtered easily.

"What we have to face is obviously more dangerous than we expected."

Li Mengnan threw the short knife in his hand to the ground, and the slashing just now had completely curled up this short knife of poor quality and lost its due role as a weapon.

"It's not that strict, is it? These things are not difficult for us to deal with, and if we have a handy weapon, even if we have a few times more, it will definitely be fine. ”

The fat man Guo Yimin excitedly brandished the short knife with the same curled blade, and the easy victory in the first battle made his self-confidence seem to be a little unprecedentedly inflated.

"People with simple thinking live easily, and I'm really a little envious......"

Padio used a large dagger about a foot long to pick up the dark black blood stained inside his fingernails - this large, simple dagger was clearly a legendary artifact from other worlds, the blade was thin but unusually strong, and the living corpse's unanimate and brittle skull was not much harder than tofu under the tip of the knife.

"Damn! Don't think that if you look like a cute girl, I won't dare to hit you! Guo Yimin immediately puffed up like a stimulated puffer fish.

Li Mengnan raised his hand to stop the infighting in the team, and said: "Padio is right, Guo Yimin, you are indeed too optimistic, this is not a game, it is impossible to resurrect if you die, so no matter how cautious you are, there is nothing wrong with it......"

Guo Yimin didn't listen to other people's words, and he was quite convinced of Li Mengnan, so he pouted and didn't say anything more.

"What are we going to do now?"

Dongzi glanced up at the sky, the sun had completely sunk below the horizon, only a faint sunset hung half-dead in the distant sky, and it was estimated that it would be completely night in another half an hour.

"At least we'll get out of here." Lao Man looked around vigilantly with a wooden gun, as if some terrible monster would rush out of the dark woods at any time.

Everyone looked at each other and was silent, Lao Man's words were right, but the problem was that no one knew where to go to have a real safe place.

"Be careful, it looks like something is coming, everyone pay attention to concealment." Li Mengnan suddenly raised his hand to signal everyone to silence.

Although the rest of the people hadn't heard any sound yet, they didn't doubt Li Mengnan's judgment, dreamwalkers were different from ordinary people, and some gifted demons were not uncommon.

The dim environment close to night gave everyone the best protective color, and there was no need to deliberately hide it, Li Mengnan and the others quickly blended into the surrounding night.

After a while, a little fire appeared from the end of the path in the forest on one side, and approached the direction where Li Mengnan and the others were hiding at a very fast speed, and the dull and chaotic sound of horses' hooves could be faintly heard.

A group of heavily armed men and horses rushed out of the woods with torches in hand, and soon stopped where the living corpses had been killed.

"It's the native people of the Land of Legends." Padio muttered quietly.

Each legendary land is equivalent to a complete world, in which there are not only chaotic monsters like the world of Gaiari, but also conscious beings that are completely harmless to dreamwalkers, and ordinary people in the real world live in the small world of the legendary land.

Like those passers-by who act as a background in their sleep.

Li Mengnan nodded, the team not far away was all wearing armor, the heavy plate armor that flashed silver under the torch was the same style, and the uniform badge could be seen on the shield hanging on the horse's back, this kind of uniform standard equipment could obviously only be owned by the regular army.

After confirming that there was no danger around, the first knight took off his helmet, revealing a rather tough Western face.

The man raised his hand and gestured to the team behind him, and the knights in his retinue dismounted, drew their swords at their waists, and mended the corpses of the living corpses on the ground one by one.

"Captain, we seem to be late, these living corpses have already been killed." A knight stepped forward and reported to the middle-aged blond man at the head.

Guo Yimin, who was in the grass, gouged out his ears, widened his eyes and said in surprise: "I'll wipe it!" I'm a scumbag who hasn't passed CET-4, so I can understand what these people are saying? ”

padio glanced at the fat man like an idiot, and said lightly: "Any language is only a consciousness stored in the brain before it is transformed into a sound signal, and we are now a consciousness body, of course we can understand any language." ”

"I rub? Is there anything else you say? Guo Yimin scratched his head, it was rare that he didn't fight with Padio.
