"It's so dark!" This was Yang Qianyu's first reaction when he entered the cave.

After possessing the Demonic Beast Inheritance, Yang Qianyu was able to see a distance of about a few tens of meters at night with the help of a faint light source in the night sky. The eyesight of other companions is similar, and companions with reconnaissance abilities can even rely on skills to see farther.

However, the darkness of the underground cave greatly exceeded Yang Qianyu's expectations. Moreover, it is very empty, and even if there is torch lighting, it can only illuminate the surrounding area less than three meters away, and it is pitch black in the distance. Under such poor vision conditions, Yang Qianyu could only barely see a distance of less than thirty meters with concentrated eyesight, and the field of vision was shortened by nearly half.

And these people of the Rogge Knights are even more unbearable in such an environment. As a warrior, Luna Maria's body has long reached the limit of human beings, but she can only see a distance of about ten meters with the help of the light source of the torch, and the range of vision that ordinary warriors can observe is even more unbearable.

Fortunately, there were many people in the group, and everyone was back to each other, and there was no blind spot in the monitoring of the front and back, left and right, and they moved forward cautiously.

Nothing happened along the way, although they encountered several walking corpses, but they were easily killed by everyone.

It can be seen that this cave is a very vast underground world, and the passages in it are intricate. And from time to time, everyone will find one or two dead corpses, which are obviously the undead walking corpses that Lord Neo cleaned up when he led the team to pass by here before.

With these corpses as signposts, everyone took fewer detours. After walking down the artificial stairs excavated by people in the cave for more than a dozen steps, Zhang Boyin (Inheritance of the Dread Demon King), who was walking in front, suddenly waved his hand to signal the team to stop, and then said, "Attention! There is a situation ahead! ”

Everyone immediately stood on guard, Li Xiang and several other companions cautiously leaned forward and looked in the direction pointed by Zhang Boyin's finger - only to see a few walking corpses with arrows lying more than ten meters away in the distance, and next to these walking corpses, there seemed to be a different corpse.

Everyone cautiously leaned up to inspect it, and saw that the corpse was a female warrior in leather armor, her torso and limbs were all torn and bitten scars, and the terrible bite mark on her neck was the fatal wound that killed her. The death of several walking corpses, the discarded broken hardwood bow, and the long dagger in her hand indicate that she had been desperately resisting before she died.

"Oh my God, this is Shanna!" Zhou Si immediately recognized her identity when he saw this corpse, and couldn't help but exclaim.

Everyone couldn't help but feel sad when they heard this, this female warrior named 'Shanna' was a soldier belonging to Meiling Hawke's squad, and everyone was more familiar with her, but they didn't expect to meet again this time but it was already life and death.

When Luna Maria stepped forward to confirm the identity of the deceased, her face also showed sadness. "It seems that Shanna was one of the seven who retreated with Rick and the others, but unfortunately, she was eventually overtaken by the undead and did not escape."

"This is the first one, there should be three more bodies in front of it." Li Xiang said in a low voice: "As long as you continue to follow this road, you can find the place where the attack occurred at that time." ”

"Without further ado, let's go." Luna Maria adjusted her emotions and said, "We need to rescue our comrades who are alive as soon as possible." ”

Just as the team was about to move on, Yang Qianyu suddenly said, "Wait a minute! Then he crouched down and carefully examined Shanna's body again.

"Old Yang, what's wrong?" Li Xiang saw that Yang Qianyu's face was a little solemn, and couldn't help asking.

"Something is wrong." Yang Qianyu said: "According to the surviving soldiers, Meiling and their attacks have been at least more than three days, right? ”

"yes." Luna Maria nodded, "It's been three and a half days now, to be exact. ”

Yang Qianyu pointed to the wound on Shana's stomach and said, "This wound is brand new, and it won't appear for more than ten minutes!" ”

"What?" Luna Maria was startled and immediately checked the corpse's wounds. After a while, a vigilant look also appeared on her face.

"This is not a wound from a walking dead bite! From the wound, the guy who bit out the wound had sharp teeth and claws. And the traces of the wound are very new, it is indeed just appeared! ”

"There's an unknown monster nearby!"

The crowd became vigilant, each armed with his weapon and facing back to back in all directions.

There was a sudden silence in the cave, and everyone could only hear the breathing of their companions and themselves.

"Prepare spare torches and throw them around!" At Luna Maria's command, everyone pulled out a few torches and lit them, and threw them in all directions.

The torches that glowed faintly brightened the surroundings.

"What people!" Sun Xiaoyu suddenly stretched out his bow and arrows and asked in one direction! When everyone heard this, they immediately turned their weapons in which direction.

"What's going on?" Li Xiang asked.

Sun Xiaoyu stared intently ahead, and quickly replied, "The light source in that direction just now shone a black shadow. But the shadow immediately retreated, and because it was too fast, it was impossible to see what it was. ”

"Dark Shadow?" Li Xiang hurriedly asked. "What kind of shadow?"

"It looks like the claws on the forelimbs are large, and the hind limbs are relatively long, and although they are used for crawling on all fours, it feels awkward, as if it is ...... It's like a man crawling on the ground. Sun Xiaoyu recalled.

Everyone stared cautiously in the direction in which the black shadow appeared.

"What should I do?" Li Xiang looked at Yang Qianyu.

Yang Qianyu thought for a while and said: "It's not okay to ignore it, there is such an unknown danger nearby that is undoubtedly a great threat to us." An attempt must be made to force it to manifest before it can be driven or eliminated as appropriate. ”

"Understood." Li Xiang nodded, and then gestured to everyone.

Seeing this, everyone immediately nodded in understanding, and after exchanging glances with each other, the companions of the long-range attack shot out in unison, arrows, darts, magic missiles, etc., and hit the area where the black shadow appeared and the surrounding area!

"Brush—"

"Whoosh-"

"Smack!"

"Bang!"

From the opposite side came the sound of an attack hitting the wall, followed by an angry roar, followed by a rustling sound.

Obviously, at least one blow of the long-range assault just now hit the black shadow, and now this black shadow was obviously enraged, and was moving quickly towards everyone at this time. It's just that the roar just now has already revealed its location, and Sun Xiaoyu, Zheng Kaidong and Yang Lixue all opened their bows and shot rapidly in the direction where the sound came from.

"Whoosh-"

"Flutter-"

"Roar!!"

The black shadow was hit by another arrow, let out a roar, and then rushed forward a few more points, and soon appeared in everyone's field of vision.

It was a humanoid monster with completely peeled off skin, dark red muscles exposed, hands nearly twice as thick as normal people, and fingers completely turned into sharp claws. It does not seem to be able to walk upright, and can only crawl on the ground with both hands and feet. But even though it's crawling, it's not slow at all.

"This guy is like a licker from 'Resident Evil'!" Liu Tianyu looked at the monster that pounced and said with disgust.

"This is not a licker." Yang Qianyu said in a deep voice: "Its accurate name should be ghoul!" ”

'Name: Ghoul'''Category: Undead-Alien'Level: 2''Attributes: Strength A, Resistance B, Constitution B, Agility S, Spirit N/A''Characteristic: Chewing Corpse'

"Be careful! It's fast! Zheng Kaidong exclaimed. The ghouls moved at a very different speed than the other undead, and only a third of the shots of the three archers of Zheng, Sun, and Yang were able to hit, and the rest were dodged by the ghouls.

"Liu Chang! Slow down! Li Xiang shouted.

Liu Chang shouted anxiously: "No! This guy is too fast! I can't lock on to my target! ”

As he spoke, the ghoul had already arrived about twelve or thirteen meters away from everyone. I saw it suddenly bow up, and then jumped up and pounced on everyone!

In mid-air, its mouth, which was originally similar to that of a human, suddenly cracked, and its whole head seemed to suddenly become larger, and its ring-shaped sharp teeth made people feel shocked when they looked at it.

And its target is Xue Xiaojing, who is guarding the outside!

"Be careful! Get out of the way! Seeing the ghoul pounce on Xue Xiaojing, Luna Maria hurriedly reminded Xue Xiaojing loudly to dodge.

However, unlike Luna Maria's anxiety, Li Xiang, Yang Qianyu and others did not panic in the slightest, but none of them could see that Xue Xiaojing was about to be attacked.

"Hmph, it's not good to attack anyone, but I chose Sister Xiaojing." Poplar on the side sneered in a low voice: "This guy is going to hit the iron plate now." ”

Almost instantly, the ghoul had already pounced on Xue Xiaojing's head, but Xue Xiaojing not only didn't have any intention of dodging in the face of the ghoul who was about to pounce on him, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised and made a mocking expression at the pounced ghoul.

Then the next moment, Xue Xiaojing suddenly activated the 'Shine' skill, and the whole person suddenly teleported to dodge the blow of the ghoul volley.

The sudden disappearance of the prey in front of him caught the ghoul off guard, and before it could react, it slammed into the ground and rolled into a ball. When he rolled over and got up, a huge hammer suddenly appeared in front of him, and it flew upside down again.

"Kill!" Li Xiang ordered loudly after slashing the ghoul away, and the surrounding melee companions immediately surrounded the ghoul.

The ghoul who fell and got up again let out a 'squeak' and swung his claws at the person closest to him. Zhang Boyin, who was the first to face it, also stretched out his claws to meet it without showing weakness, and the ghoul's claws and Zhang Boyin's claws overlapped each other's claws and fingers and grabbed each other and froze.

There was a sudden flash of cold light on the side, and a long sword slashed down. Shi Jinxin took advantage of the ghoul and Zhang Boyin's wrestling, and with a swing of his sword, he cut off the ghoul's left claw with half of his arm.

The ghoul screamed and stepped back, looked at his severed left arm, and turned to crawl towards a dead walking corpse not far away.
