Chapter 106 The Voice in the Abyss
"Everyone prepare, the big guy is coming."
Without being reminded by Arrow, Captain Muppet directly asked his members to put on a fighting pose.
"Squeak-squeak-"
There was a slight gasp, and the familiar low hoarseness.
Under the light of the ball of light, the corpse eater king just now was slowly crawling out of the abyssal jaw.
It lay on the rock wall, slowly swinging its powerful claws to grasp the rock wall and climb up, and in its mouth, it was biting something......
"Damn."
Brad muttered softly.
For when the ghoul king turned around, it was clear to everyone that it was biting a human corpse in its mouth.
The Ghoul King didn't seem to have much interest in the crowd here, but maybe it was too far away for it to smell the Muppet Squad.
The Corpse Eater King climbed to the edge of the pool, and after finding a slightly wide ground, it reached out and grabbed the human corpse, biting off its head with a single bite, and throwing it aside. Then divide the body, throw away the lower body like garbage, and put the upper body next to it.
Just as the Muppet team was about to attack around the pool, there was another slight scream from the surrounding walls.
Stop and listen carefully.
Soon, some ...... Something that didn't know what it should be called, crawled out of the caverns of the rock walls, came to the corpse eater king's side, and began to gulp down the lower half of the human's body.
I don't know what to call it because the creatures look like people.
It's like the upper body of the corpse that was just disposed of!
Rows of thin teeth began to grow from the severed skull, and the two arms of the original human began to support the ground like a corpse eater, and began to grow thick, and sharp claws began to grow at the end of the knuckles.
The tail vertebrae of these human-sized "baby ghouls" may not be very strong enough to support the ground like an adult ghoul, but they have begun to work accordingly.
Five-headed.
Counting them carefully, there were five young ghouls feasting on the human body's lower limbs like hungry wolves.
Arrow couldn't help but cover his mouth.
He had thought that these corpse eaters might be made of something, but seeing this scene with his own eyes still shocked his spirit a little.
At this moment, Keke tilted his head slightly and muttered softly: "It's so strange, this is unreasonable?" “
Arrow looked at her, "What's wrong?" What's the problem? ”
Hearing her own muttering being heard, Coco blushed a little and her head became lower. After hesitating for a moment, the little girl said softly, "That...... Brother and Vice President once told me that even we necromancers cannot create life, let alone give the dead the power to resurrect again. The so-called manipulation of the dead by our necromancers...... To be precise, it is just to direct the death elemental power that pervades the air. It is possible to manipulate the dead directly, but it is not an absolutely necessary factor. But...... But...... This ......"
The little girl pointed at the young ghoul who was eating with her steel staff: "These things...... They were all human before, right? After a man has no head...... Only...... It's dead, right? ”
"But, after death, they come back to life for some reason! It's not some necromancy manipulating the power of corpses, because these resurrected ...... Stuff...... They are eating, and the dead do not need to eat. So...... Are they really alive? This...... That means...... That means...... I once asked Vice President Napa how strong necromancy must be before it can give life to the dead. But the vice president scolded me, saying that giving life is the greatest power of the Most High God, and this power is given only to all mothers in the whole world. Even a necromancer can't give life to anything without the permission of the High God. But...... But this ......"
The next word, Coco didn't say. But Arrow could hear it, and he could understand it.
This means that in the depths of this mine, somewhere, there is a power that can bypass the supreme god, and this power can directly give life to the dead...... Although, this life has obviously changed.
Cream tilted her head slightly and said, "President, what do you think...... Is it possible that this corpse eater king is the owner of this power? ”
But before Arrow could speak, the puppet team on the side couldn't wait, and quietly walked around from the side.
The Corpse Eater King, who was feeding the juvenile body over there, suddenly straightened up and looked around. Although they had no visual organs, the two luminaries took aim at the Muppet squad that rushed forward after observing them for a moment.
Now that it was discovered, the puppet was not polite, pulled out the sword in his hand, and immediately accelerated and rushed forward!
"So big, how much is your heart worth? Thousand? Two thousand? Or more?! Let me take a good look! “
After that, the captain of the Muppet, whose eyes were already full of gold, jumped forward, and the long sword in his hand pointed directly at the heart of the corpse eater king!
"Squeak ————!!!"
The Necro Eater King seemed to judge that the person in front of him was the opponent who had just repelled him, and he immediately let out a vigilant hiss, and reflexively swept at the puppet with its tail vertebrae. At the same time, he protected the little ghouls behind him.
When the young ghoul heard the scream, he immediately dropped the uneaten remains and quickly crawled towards the surrounding walls. After the juveniles hid in the cracks in the walls, the corpse eater king, who was fighting with the puppet team, jumped into the huge abyssal mouth again, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Chase!"
The Muppet gave the order, and his team members immediately headed down the spiral walkway.
It can only be said that the speed of this army is so fast that the fast Airo doesn't even have time to call a stop!
"Hey! Wait a minute! Don't rush too fast! It's too dangerous! “
As he spoke, Arrow also commanded his guild members to catch up.
But at the moment of advancement, Parfay suddenly flew in front of Arrow, and stretched out her hand to the juvenile bodies that were huddled in the cracks of the wall and shivering: "(Fairy language) President! Aren't we going to kill these now? As they grow older, they become more dangerous! ”
Nonsense, how can you refine the gold in their hearts if they don't grow up?
As much as Arrow thought, he couldn't say that. At that moment, the president immediately showed a very nervous expression and said, "(Fairy language) They are rushing down, we must support immediately!" God knows what else is terrible down there, and the last thing we should do now in the face of the unknown is to disperse! ”
The flower fairy frowned, and she flew up, using the light of the ball of light to look at the corpse eaters huddled in the crevices of the cave again, but after seeing that Arrow was still leading the group to follow, she could only fly to the shoulder of Brad, who had been waiting for her, and went down with her.
————
The Abyssal Mouth is very deep, which means that the spiral trail will also be very long.
Arrow didn't dare to shout loudly, he could only watch the Muppet team over there continue to charge downward, as if he didn't plan to go back if he didn't earn a few thousand gold coins today.
Overhead, the power of the ball of light became weaker and weaker, and the light became darker and darker.
From being able to see everything clearly, to seeing it again.
Finally, the mermaid song could not sprint again because of the darkness, so it had to stop.
"Those guys, run so fast!"
When he stopped to re-bandage the torches, Cream grumbled.
To this, Arrow could only smile bitterly.
Gold is a thing, although there are many benefits that can be achieved. But sometimes it's a disadvantage to be too obsessed with gold and ignore your own dangers.
"Don't worry, their squad is strong, and there are eight people, which is equivalent to a small army. I think they'll be able to handle it. ”
Arrow comforted the crowd and waited until the torch was once again bandaged, then raised.
Truth be told, Airo didn't want anything to happen to the Muppet Squad.
After all, if something happens to the Muppet team, and the two troublesome characters of whiskey and polyester are not dead, it will be difficult to explain on the earl's side.
In any case, no businessman wants anything to happen to his bribe.
Torches, lit.
But just as the faint light of the fire dispelled the humble darkness around him......
Coco, this necromancer, is covering his mouth.
She kept struggling, opening her mouth as if she wanted to say something. But her mouth kept opening and closing, but she couldn't say anything!
(What's wrong with you?) )
This is what Arrow wants to say.
But when he opened his mouth, he realized that he couldn't make any sound.
The others around him, Cream, Cocoa, Brad, Whiskey and Polyester, each covered their throats and mouths, and each of them seemed to want to shout loudly.
But Airo couldn't hear any sound at all.
In the mouth of the abyss, there was a faint sound of wind blowing.
The sounds also seemed to prove that he was not deaf.
It was just as Iero clutched his throat, trying to adjust his breathing and think about what was wrong......
The two soldiers, Whiskey and Polyester, suddenly raised their weapons and stood in front of the group, fully vigilant.
This is the new torch that Arrow also saw what was happening ahead.
The Muppet Squad, right there.
However, a lizard-like lower body with a dozen tentacles on the upper body, about two people tall, is using its tentacles to suppress every member of the puppet team. The end of the tentacles was an eyeball, after seeing the torch lit up on the side of the mermaid's song......
All the eyeballs were aimed at this side.
