Chapter 1564: Looking for Someone
There was no way, Su Yang could only go to the Immortal Domain.
Hurriedly coming to the Medicine Valley, Su Yang found the old man and handed the scroll to the other party, and said, "Old man, do you know what this scroll is?" β
The old man looked at the scroll carefully, and finally just shook his head and said, "I can't see it, it seems to be just a very ordinary map." β
Su Yang smiled bitterly, could it be that he had been deceived, could it be that this scroll was really just a very ordinary scroll?
"Forget it, since so many people say it's an ordinary scroll, it's likely that it's really an ordinary scroll." Su Yang has already given up.
The old man pondered for a while and said: "That's it, I'll take this scroll first, although I can't see it, it doesn't mean that others can't see it, I'll find someone to identify it, and I will let Qianqian notify you when there is news." β
"Okay." Su Yang nodded, anyway, he didn't have much hope.
After leaving the Medicine Valley, Su Yang used the Space Orb to immediately teleport to the Snow Maiden.
"What are the results?" Snow Maiden asked aloud.
"It's just an ordinary scroll, forget it, it's impossible for such a simple task to burst out of anything good, it's me who thinks too much."
"Also, how can there be good things in this poor country!"
"Let's go." In fact, Su Yang knows very well that there are not necessarily no good things in the poor countryside, you must know that his weapons are dug up from the poor countryside.
Su Yang took the Snow Girl and the hamster and prepared to leave the town, but just after arriving at the entrance of the town, an old woman greeted him.
"My lord, I've finally waited for you." The old woman's eyes were red and swollen, and she had obviously cried.
Su Yang was puzzled: "What's the matter, old man?" β
The old woman immediately fell to her knees and prayed, "My lord, please help me find my grandson, who has not been home for several days?" β
The system's chime came, and it was another task.
Su Yang frowned and asked, "Before leaving, did he say where he was going?" β
The old woman said: "He said that he was going to the forest to pick up some wood, but he has not come back until now, I have been looking in the forest, but I have never found any trace?" β
"Is it a ten-year-old child?" Kusuke asked suddenly.
"Yes, yes, my grandson is just ten years old this year." The old man hurriedly responded.
Su Yang looked at the hamster and asked, "What?" Have you seen it? β
"Of course I do." Kursuke said, "I saw him the day before yesterday when he was foraging, but he was taken away, and he seems to be a woman. β
"How so?" The old man said sadly: "My grandson is just an ordinary person, who took him away?" My lord, I beg you to save my grandson. β
Su Yang said: "Old man, you get up first, I will investigate this matter." β
"Thank you, thank you, sir." The old woman thanked her, but she still didn't get up.
Su Yang had no choice but to squat down and help him up, and said, "You stay in the village and wait for news, and my partner and I will help you find it." β
Out of the village, the two of them entered the forest, and Su Yang said, "Kurasuke, can you smell the breath of that child?" β
Kusuke said: "There is a vague point, not very obvious. β
Su Yang said: "Follow that breath and rush over." β
"Yes, master."
Cangsuke carried Su Yang and the two of them to follow the smell. Originally, it was just a simple task to save people, but Su Yang didn't expect that he would be involved in an earth-shattering event.
The vast plain area called Shada used to be the site of the decisive battles of various kingdoms, so there are countless warriors buried in the ground, because there are too many people buried here, so there are frequent undead, this kind of place is full of gloom and evil, so that even the demons don't want to come.
Although there is still much unclear about the causes of the undead, unclean things are often born in the place where the living die. Among them, the possibility of reincarnation is the highest from the deceased who died unexpectedly and there is no one to hang on to them. Therefore, in places such as battlefields and ruins, the undead often appear.
In order not to make the dead immortal, huge cemeteries are often needed β places for people to pay their respects.
In this part, the countries attach great importance to it, and in the course of the battle, they conclude agreements and solemnly pay respects to each other to the dead. Even if they fight each other, they will still agree that the undead who attack the living are the common enemy.
Not only that, but there is a problem with the undead. That is, if left unchecked, it is easy to produce stronger undead. Therefore, adventurers and guards patrol the cemetery every night to eliminate the weak undead as soon as possible.
The cemetery is surrounded by a wall, and this wall is the boundary between the dead and the living. The four-meter-high wall is not as good as the city wall, but it is enough for people to walk on it, and the gate is quite strong and sturdy, and it is absolutely impossible to break through easily.
It's all about beware of the undead born in the cemetery.
There are stairs to the left and right of the gate, and there is an observation deck next to the wall. There were five people per shift, and the guards yawned and took turns watching the cemetery below.
The cemetery rack and the lampholder with the 'Perpetual Light' magic are quite bright even at night. However, there are still many shady places, and the view is even worse where the tombstones are blocked.
A guard with a gun looked at the cemetery absentmindedly, yawned and said to his companion who was watching with him, "It's been a quiet evening, too." β
"yes, there were five skeletons before, right? Judging by the frequency of appearances in the past, the feeling has decreased dramatically. β
"Well, the souls of the dead have also been summoned back by the sacrifice, right? If that's the case, you're lucky. β
The other guards were also attracted to this topic and joined in the conversation:
"It's just that we can handle skeletons and corpses. However, it is not easy to take down skeletons with a gun, which is a bit troublesome. β
"I think it's the corpses that are the trickiest of all."
"I think it's a centipede skeleton. If it hadn't been for the adventurers who were on guard nearby to relieve the siege, I would have died of drought at that time. β
"Centipede skeletons? I heard that letting go of the weak guys will produce powerful undead. Obviously, as long as the opponent is weak, he will not produce such a powerful undead. β
"yes, absolutely. Last week, the team patrolling the cemetery was severely reprimanded by our captain. The wine of atonement was great, but I didn't want to go through that again. β
"But... Thinking about it this way, there are no undead now, but it feels a little bad. β
ββ¦β¦ Why? β
"That, I just think that our surveillance is missing something, this kind of place has always been very weird, you must know that even those guys of the demon clan don't want to come."
"You think too much, so there aren't so many immortals. I heard that when the corpses of those who died in the war with the empire were buried, the undead often appeared. On the contrary, there is no war, and that's probably it, right? β
The guards nodded to each other in agreement. Although humans are buried in villages everywhere, I have not heard of the undead appearing so often.
ββ¦β¦ Well, the situation in the Shada Plain seems exaggerated. β
"yes, I've heard that there are unimaginably powerful undead, right?"
The plains where the empire and the kingdom fought fiercely, that place was also famous for the undead, and the adventurers and knights of the empire who received the kingdom's commission would sweep the undead there. The importance of this work has led to the establishment of small towns in the area by the support departments of the empire and the kingdom.
"I hearβ" One of the guards who was about to speak suddenly shut up.
Another guard, upset by this, said, "Hey, don't be scaryβ"
"Quiet!"
The guards who closed the shut-in looked intently at the cemetery as if they could see through the darkness. Attracted by this move, the other guards also looked at the cemetery.
"Didn't you hear?"
"It's your delusion, isn't it?"
"I didn't hear anything going on...... But it seems to smell earth. Didn't you dig a cemetery before? It tasted very similar to ...... back then."
"Don't make jokes like that."
ββ¦β¦ Hey? Ah, hey! Look there! β
A guard points to the cemetery. All eyes were on that point.
Two guards rushed in the direction of the gate, both of them angry, their eyes bloodshot and their sweaty hair sticking to their foreheads.
The sight in front of them made the guards feel bad.
The guards patrolling the cemetery acted in groups of at least ten. Why only two people? There is no desperate running with a weapon, and it looks like he has run away from the wilderness.
"Quick, open the door! Hurry up and open the door! β
Seeing the two of them shouting desperately in front of the door, the guards hurriedly ran down the stairs to open the door.
Before the gate could be opened, two guards rushed in from the cemetery.
"...... in the end"
The two guards who left the cemetery interrupted the questioning with pale faces, shouting as they breathed: "Hurry, hurry up and close the door!" Hurry up! β
Seeing such an unusual move, the guards were all terrified, and together they closed the door again and put it on the deadbolt.
"What the hell is going on? What happened to the others? β
Hearing this, the guard who raised his head showed a shocked expression.
"Eaten by the undead!"
Knowing that eight of their companions had died, the guards turned their eyes to the captain.
The captain immediately ordered: "Tewen, you go up there and have a look!" β
The guard hurried up the stairs, and when he was halfway through, he stiffened and stopped.
"W-What's wrong!"
The constantly trembling guards shouted, "Undead! A horde of the undead! β
I pricked up my ears and listened carefully, and sure enough, the sound of galloping horses came from the other side of the wall. Not only the guards just now, but all the guards were speechless at the scene in front of them.
The jaw-dropping number of the undead is rushing from the cemetery towards the gate.
"What's going on with this amount......"
"It seems that there are more than one or two, a hundred...... There should be thousands...... ......."
There are also countless undead in places where the light does not shine, and it is difficult to estimate the total number of them if you include the shadows that flicker in the darkness.
With the stench of corruption, the countless undead staggered like dark clouds approached the gate. There are not only zombies and skeletons, but also a scarce number of powerful undead - ghouls, hungry ghosts, ghouls, bloats, rotting corpses, and more.
