"The strength of the Ghoul King is indeed very strong, but the little Ghoul he created is not very good. Only half a year has passed so far, even if the corpse eater king really cultivated a lot of small corpse eaters in the process, then these should also be young corpse eaters, and their combat power should not be strong. In the event of a revolt in such a situation, the Count could have his own soldiers go and solve the problems. Among them, the only problem is the Corpse Eater King. ”

"In this case, where is our turn to fight with the Mermaid Song? So I judged that this earl probably didn't want us to destroy the Corpse Eater King. It's because we weren't expected to destroy the Corpse Eater King that the Count was so happy when he signed the 100 gold coins. Because he knew that it would be absolutely impossible for him to give this money, even if it was 1,000 gold coins. ”

"Since this Earl doesn't want to kill us on purpose, or wants us to destroy the Corpse Eater King, does he want us to be fed as bait? Neither is it possible at all. ”

"We are the Adventurers' Guild, and we have a lot of experience fighting the Ghouls. If it is purely used as bait, there are many innocent people in Tianhe City who do not know this. Isn't this Count afraid that if we kill this ghoul king, his plan for a gold nugget ranch will be completely ruined? ”

"Considering all of the above, I have come to a conclusion. That is, Count Karp did not want us to die, at least not to annihilate us all. He didn't think that we would really destroy the Corpse Eater King, so the corresponding situation should be that we failed in our mission and went back to see him in a gloomy manner, and then he didn't give us a single iron coin, and directly blasted us out of Tianhe City. ”

Hearing this, Parfay looked dizzy, she sat on Brad's shoulder, stretched out her hand and pointed her head melon and said, "President, so I don't understand." What does it mean to call us in a hurry, but not to do anything about it, to make us go through a mission failure and then leave? In the words of you humans, is space idle? ”

Arrow pinched his chin and walked along, thinking, "That's what I'm thinking about. The Count wants us alive, gives us a task, and wants us to fail...... I always felt that Count Karp must have been hiding something from us. And this hidden secret may well be the key to solving this problem. ”

While Iero was still thinking hard, Brad, who was at the front of the team, suddenly stopped, handed the torch to Eero behind him, took out his shield, replaced the hammer with a long sword, and stood still.

Arrow looked closely, and saw that about twenty meters ahead, a corpse eater was lying there, constantly wandering, pacing back and forth as if he had lost his way.

Judging by the size and the teeth and claws that were not yet fully grown, it was supposed to be a juvenile ghould.

"Ready. Be careful not to get hurt in any way. ”

Airo muttered softly, and the Merfolk Song immediately assumed a fighting stance, cautiously approaching the young ghoul.

The young ghoul seemed completely unaware of the approaching man, and the two luminous organs emitted a faint glow, but he never managed to find his way to it.

When Brad approached the young ghoul at a distance of about five meters, he lunged forward! The sound of quickened footsteps made the young ghoul quickly turn to Brad's side, and opened his mouth to scream!

But before it could make a sound, a fierce blow of the shield slammed into its mouth. With the lifting of the shield, the young ghoul was immediately turned over with his chest facing up! Immediately afterward, Brad raised the sword in his hand and stabbed it steadily, ending the monster's life in an instant before it realized resistance.

The action of this set is smooth without the slightest pause. Obviously, being able to make such a smooth attack is undoubtedly due to the daily workout. In this regard, Eero expressed great satisfaction.

Drawing his sword, Brad flicked it off, shaking off the blood on it.

Cream stepped forward, glanced cautiously, and said, "President, there's one more thing I don't seem to understand. ”

Arrow also walked up, put on gloves, gently opened the wound on the heart of the young corpse eater, examined it and left only disappointment, and then said, "Do you mean the infection?" ”

Cream nodded, "When we faced the Corpse Eater before, we were more or less injured. The number of scratches and bites is not insignificant. But none of us have been turned into zombies before, but now Tianhe City is occupied by zombies? That's a little weird, isn't it? ”

In this regard, Arrow also agreed: "If the fact that being scratched and bitten by a corpse eater turns into a zombie is not that Margaux is bragging about us, then it can only represent one result. ”

After a moment's pause, Arrow exhaled slowly, "It's the Corpse Eater King here, who has mutated. Through the mutation of the past six months, he has mastered the power to spread this kind of plague or magic, which can turn people into zombies alive. ”

"And this mutation has never happened before. We've got so little information to know exactly what's going on here. ”

After thinking for a long time, Arrow glanced at the young corpse eater on the ground, and said slowly-

"Regardless, our only target right now is the Corpse Eater King. Killing that beast will be the first task of our trip. Brad, Parfay, Coco, Cream, do you have the confidence to complete this task? ”

Although it was still a little nervous to really face the Corpse Eater King, when Brad was able to easily deal with a young corpse eater just now, everyone knew that their strength had really improved a lot in the past six months. At that moment, everyone nodded their heads, continued to cheer up, and walked cautiously towards the deeper part of the passage.

Teemall City's underground system is complex, and the area where the prison is held is near the area where the huge waterfall falls from the sky.

Judging from the partial map of the underground space given by the Count, it seems that the area is home to the power system and prison of the entire city.

As he walked, Arrow pondered the map over and over again.

How so?

With this map alone, Arrow felt that the earl must have something very important to hide from him.

After all, judging from the boundary range of this map, although this underground network does not occupy the entire bottom of Tianhe City, it at least accounts for half of the area. However, judging from the guide route on the map, it is clear that the earl only gave directions to the area below the falls. Other roads are either shown as dead ends or blocked.

What's more, some roads marked with emergency passages are also marked with dead ends.

It seems that the Count really wants his team to go to the area marked on the map and then come back after a failed mission.

"Shhhh

Just as Iero was walking cautiously, Brad, who was leading the way in front, stopped and motioned for everyone to hold their breath.

By the light of the fire, it was clear that several red dots were flickering in the darkness ahead, accompanied by the familiar sound of a corpse eater's claws scraping against the ground.

Brad raised his shield and sword, Parfay flew into the air and sprinkled flowers on everyone's bodies, and Cream picked up a stone from the ground and threw it towards a fork in the road ahead. As the stone slammed on the ground, the two ghouls burst out of the darkness into the range of the fire.

After half a year, seeing the corpse eater again, Arrow didn't think there was anything to be happy about.

And compared to being in the mines, the physical characteristics of these ghouls really gave Arrow a ...... Nausea sensation.

They were also covered in fragments of the clothes they had worn when they were humans, and the surface of their entire bodies was slimy and full of the bloody feeling of battle. Especially when they open their neck-shaped mouths, which are a mixture of blood and flesh, they are definitely several orders higher than the corpse eaters in the mines.

The two ghouls pounced on the fork in the road, wandering around where the stone had landed, seemingly desperately searching for the direction of their prey.

Seeing this, Arrow raised his hand, took out a bloody bead from his pocket and threw it directly in front of the team.

The strong smell of blood immediately seduced the corpse eaters, perhaps because they had never smelled it before, and they all gathered in front of the blood beads, constantly moving from side to side, and at the same time reaching out their claws to grab a handful, but they could only leave a scratch on the marble floor when they lost sight.

The mermaid song waited silently.

By the moment when the two ghouls were all facing the team with their backs, Brad had already rushed forward without Arrow's voice! He raised his sword and hammer and slammed it down on the tail vertebrae of the two ghouls!

The tremendous force smashed and severed the tail vertebrae of the two corpses almost instantly. The battered corpse eater screamed in horror and turned to pounce on Brad! But the two demonic beasts that lost their center of gravity couldn't stand on their feet at all, and fell directly to the ground.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Brad raised his shield again in front of him, and Cream and the undead soldiers flashed out from his left and right, quickly circling behind the two corpse eaters, one man and one sword, piercing through the hearts of the corpse eaters with unmistakable accuracy, bringing the dirty lives of the two demonic beasts to an end.
