Chapter 26: Tracking

Shiro touched a mark carved out of a sharp instrument on the trunk of the tree, a very simple mark, just a fork!

Seeing this mark, Bai suddenly had some thoughts!

"This must be the mark made by Brother Jack! Then there should be more nearby! After muttering a sigh, Bai immediately began to search for the trunks of the trees around him!

Although when he was learning about the situation with Big Jack, Big Jack didn't say that he had a mark on the road, but as a hunter, when he went into the mountains to hunt, in order not to get lost, it was certain to make a mark!

As for why Shiro decided that this mark was made by the Jack brothers?

The reason is very simple, under Bai's observation, he found that this mark is still relatively new, it should have been carved recently, and on the way here, Bai is not blindly burying his head in climbing, but also observing the traces on the road!

Weeds grow much faster than tree bark!

Along the way, it was found that there were no new traces of being trampled, which means that no one went up the mountain for at least two days or so!

Then the answer comes out, and the mark can only be made by the Jack brothers!

It didn't take long for Shiro to find the same mark on another tree, so he immediately began to look for other markers!

One mark after another was discovered by Shiro, and Shiro was getting farther and farther away from the mountain road, heading towards the mountains!

Soon it was noon, and Bai casually ate something, rested by the way, and recovered his strength!

The journey went smoothly, except for a few harmless wild animals!

This made Bai feel a little puzzled, because if there were undead spirits, there would be dead qi around, and ordinary creatures would not be so lively!

After resting, Shiro continued to look for the marker!

As we go deeper into the back mountains, the vegetation becomes denser and denser, and the road becomes more and more difficult to walk!

Every time you walk even one meter forward, it takes a lot of time, and the frequency of breaks has become more frequent!

"The road is so difficult, I really don't know how the two of them got here?" Shiro wiped the sweat from his forehead and panted and complained.

"According to the rules, the next mark should be around this one, right? Why not? Bai searched for a while, according to the rules he summed up, the mark should be in this area, but he didn't find it!

"Huh? This is ......" At this time, Shiro found an unusual place, "Bloody ......?" ”

It was some blood stains that had dried up, and Bai immediately walked up to those blood stains and began to observe!

There were not many blood stains, and they had already begun to blacken, and a faint fishy smell came, which made Bai's eyes light up, because he had found a clue!

This is not the blood of a normal human, it should be the blood of a corpse-like undead!

Such a little bit of normal human blood will not have such a strong smell!

Coupled with the fact that there are no markings nearby, Shiro deduces that this should be the place where the undead fought Big Jack and captured Little Jack!

Thinking of this, Shiro immediately began to observe the surrounding environment!

Due to the low level of observation, it took a lot of effort to find some traces in vain!

It's good to be able to find it, even if it takes a little more time, it's better than not finding anything!

I've been observing, Bai's physical exertion is very serious, and I need to rest for a while without taking a few steps, and my progress is very low!

Before I knew it, it was already dark, and by the time Bai came back to his senses, it was already evening!

Looking up at the sky, the snow was still falling, and it was getting bigger, which made Shiro feel a little bad!

I was so focused on looking for traces that I didn't pay attention to the time, and I didn't think that it would be dark in the blink of an eye!

"It's too late to go back now, so I can only find a place to go first!" Bai thought, "And they will haunt at night, and they should come to me at that time!" ”

Thinking of this, Bai decided to spend the night in the mountains, if they came to find him today, they could just follow that trace to find their hiding place!

"It doesn't seem entirely bad!" After figuring it out, Bai smiled slightly.

He's so happy right now, he loves it!

After deciding on it, he immediately began to look for a place where he could rest for a long time, and I don't know if it was his luck, it didn't take much time for him to find a tree hole that was just enough for one person to get into!

After cleaning up the weeds a little, Shiro got inside, sat down on the ground, put his backpack in front of him, and began to rest!

"If I knew I wouldn't have brought more food!" Bai flipped through his backpack, there were only a few items in the backpack, and the only food he brought was already eaten at noon!

I checked the situation of the pistol and bullets, and found nothing unusual, and then pulled out the dagger and checked it, the blade was a little broken, but it can still be used, but most of the time I can only use it in this copy!

The condition of the bandage was also checked, and after finding nothing unusual, Shiro closed his eyes and took a nap!

As time passed, the snow outside was getting heavier and heavier, and the wind was blowing, and the leaves were rattling with the wind!

Suddenly, a spirit, Shiro opened his eyes!

It's a little cold!

He tightened his coat, and Bai felt a little better!

The space in the tree hole is a bit large, and Shiro sits here motionless, causing his body to be a little stiff!

Picking up the backpack next to him, Shiro climbed out of the tree hole, looked around, and didn't know when it was already snow-white!

There is no way to find any traces now, and the heavy snow has long covered all traces!

After moving his somewhat stiff body a little, Shiro was ready to take a step around and see if he could attract those things!

However, the next moment when he stepped on his legs, his body suddenly stiffened again!

Because he felt the killing intent!

Very strong killing intent!

He's been locked in by this killing intent!

"Found it!" With a long breath of white mist, Bai stepped out with some pleasure!

Before he had taken a few steps, a dark shadow landed in front of him!

Humanoid, shorter than the average person, a little rickety, long and thick arms, a bit like an orangutan, the barbs on the claws are very sharp, and the body also exudes a disgusting stench!

The light in the deep forest is very dim, and that's all Shiro can see!

"Ghouls?" Bai looked at the shadow and determined the type of enemy in front of him, "I didn't expect there to really be a high-level species!" It's just that ghouls don't have the ability to dominate the low-level undead! ”

In his knowledge, from all that information, this is the only thing that can be determined!

Ghouls are a special kind of undead, and in addition to their undead attributes, they also have demonic attributes!

They belong to the upper class of the living dead, advanced from the living dead, and this advancement is somewhat deviated from the race of the undead, and begins to approach the demons!

Their final evolution is a vampire!

Many people think that vampires are also one of the undead, but they are actually demons!

They were originally a race born from the curse of demons!

After learning that the enemy in front of him was a ghoul, Shiro knew that the pistol was useless!

It is simply impossible for a bullet to penetrate their muscles!

That's right! It's muscles!

Ghouls have unusually well-developed muscles, great flexibility and explosiveness!

The only way to deal with them is to use a large-caliber rifle or a grenade, a powerful explosive weapon!

Ordinary firearms, they don't do much damage at all!

Although the damage it can do is not large, if you add [Magic Sin], you should be able to deal with one or two, and if you are lucky, you should be able to kill it!

Thinking of this, Bai was not in the cause, and directly turned on [Magic Sin]!

The evil realm spread, and an evil aura emanated from Bai's body, enveloping the area within a radius of a hundred meters!

It's just that Shiro is now able to expand the realm to the limit!

The ghoul also seemed to feel the strange aura, and suddenly his whole body stiffened!

If Shiro could see clearly, he would definitely be able to see that the muscles of the ghoul's whole body were trembling slightly!

It felt the fear, the coercion of the superiors!

The next moment, I saw the ghoul tremble, suddenly fell to the ground, and let out a terrible wail!

It was hit by the Sinful Aura!

Although it looked like it had been hit hard, Shiro didn't let his guard down, he took out his pistol and slowly approached the ghoul!

"Mental suppression seems to have a particularly good effect on the undead!" Shiro kicked the immobile ghoul at his feet, muttering in his mouth.

However, considering the nature of the undead, this situation seems quite normal!

The undead do not have a complete body like the living, and their bodies are mostly mutilated or absent!

Therefore, their actions do not rely much on the physical body, but on the strange mental power to control!

The spiritual power of the undead species is very high, which is their advantage and their disadvantage!

If their mental power is suppressed, then the hindrance to their actions will be much stronger than that of living beings!

So what should you do with this ghoul in front of you?

After thinking about it for a while, Shiro decided to talk to it first!
