It is a huge grotto that resembles a square, with a ceiling of nearly ten meters high, more than double the height of the four-meter-high passage. The floor was also flattened to look like a place for a meeting.

However, at this time, the grotto was full of wreckage, and the corpses of the dead were everywhere. These corpses were men and women, old and young, and the old scars on their bodies were also varied. But the only thing they had in common was the exposed shriveled pale skin and the stench of decaying and disgusting corpses.

In some places where the corpses of the walking dead are most dense, some damaged weapons and the corpses of sergeants wearing the standard armor of the Rogge Knights can also be found.

"That's right, this is where the attack took place."

Looking at the dead corpses on the ground and the corpses of the soldiers of the Rog Knights, Luna Maria said bitterly, "Obviously, they have experienced a fierce battle. Although they were heroic, they were still outnumbered in the face of such a large number of corpses. ”

"Let's look around and see if we can find any clues." Li Xiang greeted loudly. When the traversers heard the order, they immediately scattered and investigated.

After some probing, the group reunited and exchanged information.

There were at least two or three hundred walking corpses lying in this cave, and six warriors of the Rog Knights had died here. In this way, in addition to the three people who were lucky enough to evacuate to report the news, the four corpses encountered along the passage, and the six dead people here, a total of thirteen people have been accounted for. In other words, there should be seventeen more trapped Meiling.

"But where are they now?" Luna Maria muttered to herself anxiously.

"Don't worry." Yang Qianyu comforted: "In this situation, no news is the best news. Since there were no of their bodies here, it meant that they should have resisted at least the initial attack. I think they must have found a nearby passage to resist and retreat. ”

"So what to do?" Luna Maria was puzzled: "In addition to the passage we came through, there are at least a dozen passages connecting this empty field, should we search them one by one?" ”

"It's not that difficult." Fu Bin interjected: "Meiling, if they flee here, it is impossible for these walking corpses not to come and chase them, so they must fight and leave, so there will definitely be dead corpses along the way." We just need to look and see which passage has the most corpses, and that is the route they retreated. ”

With a goal in mind, the group quickly began to check the entrances of the passages, and finally found that there were more bodies around one passage than anywhere else. Seeing that after finding the road, everyone cautiously lined up in a battle formation, entered this passage and began to explore the traces of Meiling and his party.

Meanwhile......

Somewhere inside the channel.

Mei Ling's spear was attached to a layer of green mang, and a front conflict thorn pierced the head of a walking corpse that pounced on it, and then when the spear head retreated, it swept away several walking corpses on the right side, and several fighters in that direction took the opportunity to switch positions and completed a round of offensive and defensive rotation.

On the other side, a man in his thirties, with curly hair in a golden shawl, holding a long sword and a lingdun and wearing light armor, blue light burst out on his long sword, and a sharp sword shot out, piercing the bodies of the seven or eight walking corpses in front of him. The sword suddenly burst into countless arcs of electricity as it pierced through the body of the walking corpse, and the walking corpse hit by the arc spasmed a few times, and then collapsed weakly.

The sword man who killed several undead with a single sword did not show a relaxed expression, but turned to the other side and shouted, "Attention! Watch out for ghoul raids! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a dark shadow flashed on the wall of the passage and pounced on the defending crowd.

A warrior with a one-handed hammer and shield was unable to dodge and was thrown to the ground by the ghoul, and Mei Ling lunged forward with an arrow, and with a sweep of the spear in her hand, the ghoul was forced back, and then reached out and grabbed the warrior's back collar and dragged him back. The fallen warrior was spitting blood from his mouth, and there was a terrible wound in his chest, almost deep into the bones.

"Take Jerry to the back! Fast! Meiling screamed, and a soldier beside her immediately stepped forward to help the wounded and retreat to the rear.

"Fill in the position!" Due to the lack of defenders, there was a gap in the originally perfect defensive line, and the blonde man immediately called for support behind him.

"Mel! Kevin! What are you two doing in a daze? Don't go up yet! Mia Campbell, who was at the rear of the line, shouted as she pointed her knife at the two fighters on the side.

The two men named by Mia were tired and covered with scars on their armor. One of them had a thick bandage around his waist, and the other had a tight bandage on his leg, but even so, blood was oozing from the bandage. Obviously, these two people have just retreated from the defense line to rest, and at this time they are not in a state of vitality at all.

After being ordered by Mia, the two of them showed sad and angry expressions on their faces, but they still gritted their teeth and went up to the defense line.

"Hey! You two! When Meiling saw the two of them coming forward, she immediately reprimanded: "You two are already seriously injured, what are you doing here?" Want to die?! ”

"Mia-sama ordered us to come to our aid!" One of them replied aloud.

"Damn!" Meiling snorted angrily, turned her head and shouted, "Mia! Don't keep hiding behind you, you guy! Come and help! ”

"Nope." Mia's voice came from behind. "We don't know how long we're going to hold out! You must reserve enough combat power to break through! Anyway, these wounded people may not be able to escape by then, so let's just let them come forward and support them for a while! ”

"You bastard!!" Meiling was furious when she heard this. "What do you think of these men of ours? Abandoned son?! ”

"Humph! How can you manage so much at this time! Behind her, Mia exclaimed justifiably. Anyway, they are all ordinary fighters, and when they die, they die. What's the big deal?! ”

"You ......" Meiling was immediately angry when she heard this.

"Enough!" At this time, the blonde man on the side said two words coldly.

"Neo-sama......"

"You are the knights of Kasha, and I have no right to command you." The blonde 'Neo Noalok' slashed the walking corpse and said, "Since Knight Mia wants to preserve her strength, it's up to her." Hopefully she'll be able to get out of here by then......"

As he spoke, Neo mockingly glanced at the knife-wielding guard behind him, and from time to time scolded Mia who asked the wounded to come forward. Then he turned all his attention to the group of corpses in front of him.

The reason why Neo treats Mia like this is very simple, that is, the current situation of everyone is completely caused by Mia.

Time rewinds to a few days ago......

When the crowd was attacked in the caverns of the square, Neo immediately ordered the team to assemble together, intending to force a confrontation on the way they came. However, Mia suggested that she break through the nearest passage and get rid of the corpses, and took the lead in retreating to this passage with her cronies. Mia's unauthorized retreat drastically reduced the team, and Neo had to revise his plan to join Mia with the others. Unexpectedly, the passage that Mia retreated from was a dead end! After walking for about one or two hundred meters, the road in front of everyone was completely blocked by the collapsed boulders. At this moment, everyone was trapped in this passage, which was more than 20 meters long and no more than three or four meters wide, and could not advance or retreat. Mia, who led everyone astray, did not feel any guilt, but commanded the squad of soldiers under her command to resist the corpses for her, but she hid behind with peace of mind, intending to recuperate and wait for the opportunity to break through.

Although Neo Noah Rock is the captain of this team, he is not a member of the Rogge Knights, so Mia Campbell, who is a direct knight of Kasya, does not buy Neo's account very much. And at this juncture of personal life and death, he made up his mind to save himself first, ignoring Neo's instructions at all.

Seeing that Mia would not obey the order, Neo gave up the assignment to Mia and instead led the team with Meiling to resist the attack of the corpses. The two of them led a group of survivors to resist like this for several days.

Time rewinds to the present......

"Prepare to set fire!" Neo immediately shouted after watching his subordinates around him show some fatigue.

After the order was given, several warriors with shields blocked their shields in front of them to form a shield array, and after the order, they all pushed forward in unison, pushing the corpses in front of them backwards by several meters. Taking advantage of this effort, the rest of the warriors quickly lifted the corpses on the ground, built them into a low wall about one meter high, and then took out bottles of fire oil from their bags and splashed them on the low wall made of corpses.

At the same time as the low wall was built, the warriors who had set up the shield array in front of them also withdrew their shields and retreated, climbed over the low wall and hid back. After all the comrades behind the low wall withdrew, one of them immediately threw the torch in his hand towards the corpse wall, and suddenly the scorching flames burned, quickly forming a wall of fire between the crowd and the corpse.

The corpses seemed to be more wary of the burning flames, and after the flames were ignited, they stopped rushing forward, only to let out a low roar at Neo and the others behind the wall of fire from a distance. And Neo and the others, who were holding on, also took advantage of the fact that the corpses did not dare to come forward and got a short chance to rest.

"Hurry up and rest! The wall of fire will only last for a maximum of two hours! Lord Neo ordered.

With his order, the soldiers of the Rog Knights, who had been holding on to their respective defensive positions, sat down on the spot, took out the dry food and water bladders they carried with them, ate and drank, and then leaned against the cave wall or simply lay down on the ground and closed their eyes to rest. Several of the less seriously injured were alerted to the location of the fire wall, and would be alerted at any time if something changed.

Neo and Meiling also found a place to sit down, hurriedly stuffed a few mouthfuls of dry food and water into their mouths, and began to meditate on the spot, took out the magic core to absorb spiritual energy and pranayama, in order to recover as much fighting energy as possible - in the more than three days they were trapped in the cave, they relied on this improvised wall of fire to temporarily resist the corpses to get time to rest. Otherwise, if you fight these tireless undead for three days, even if you are not killed by these monsters, you will be exhausted to death.
