Volume 2: The Wind Rises in the Yuanyang Continent Chapter 256: Ghouls! (1)
"Well, that's right, there was such a big movement here before, I think there may be ghosts coming soon, this place is not suitable for a long time, let's get out of here immediately" Hina obviously has the same worries as Li Xuan.
In this way, after Li Xuan arranged a small space formation here, he left with Xina, and at a slight distance from Li Xuan and them, a group of rotten people were walking slowly, and looking at their direction, it was actually opposite to Li Xuan's direction, if they continued to move forward, the two of them would encounter each other sooner or later.
Of course, Li Xuan didn't know about the situation in the distance, and they continued to move in the direction they had before, and at this time they were getting closer and closer to the next goal they had set.
The content on the stone tablet that Li Xuan had seen before could predict the location of the caves here, so Li Xuan and they simply set a few goals through this method, Li Xuan and they naturally would not move forward easily, and only when they were sure that the surrounding environment was safe, Li Xuan and they would enter those caves and leave a mark.
Although there are many caves here, it is precisely because there are too many caves here that it is impossible for Li Xuan to leave marks in all the caves, so Li Xuan and the others can only designate a route with more caves on the way, and then slowly mark this route.
............
Li Xuan and they finally came to their next target after running all the way, on the way here, Li Xuan and they made marks in the other two caves, although Li Xuan can deduce the approximate location of the caves here, but Li Xuan's calculation will still have errors, it is precisely because of the existence of these errors that Li Xuan They found two more caves on the road, so they marked them again.
Although they entered the cave and made a mark, because of the experience of the white bone spirit, they did not delay too much time here, and after making the mark, they left quickly.
Now the location of Li Xuan and Hina is the goal that Li Xuan and they set before, this place is in Li Xuan's previous planning, it is necessary to enter, and even have to delay it for a while, because this cave is not stored in anything else, it is all kinds of books, although these books are not magic books, nor are they jade slips that store mystical skills, but there is still a reason for Li Xuan and them to find out, who can say that there is nothing useful in the magic king's collection?
So Li Xuan and they came here cautiously, as soon as they went in, they found that there were no other creatures in it, Li Xuan covered his spiritual power again, and after making sure that there were no creatures, Li Xuan and they first made a mark, and then gathered and walked towards the cave.
The cave here can no longer be called a cave, because the decoration here is like a very luxurious villa, after they enter here, the interior of this place is like a palace, but the only difference is that there are all kinds of books here and there, and there are many books scattered on the ground, Li Xuan After they came in, they began to rummage in various ways, trying to find anything useful in these very old books.
Just when Li Xuan was concentrating on looking for the book he was looking for, Li Xuan suddenly heard a very strange voice, and that voice was slowly approaching.
"Is it the spirit beast hound again? But it doesn't sound like it. Li Xuan looked in the direction where the voice came from in confusion.
But just as Li Xuan looked over, Hina suddenly ran over, then grabbed Li Xuan, and squatted down, and then covered Li Xuan's nose with her hand by the way, and Hina covered her nose with the other hand.
Li Xuan was almost out of breath by Sheena's sudden suddenness, and finally replaced his breath with luck, "What are you doing, what's wrong?" Li Xuan said to Xina.
In fact, Hina herself was a person 10,000 years ago, and the language of the two of them should not be incomprehensible, but when Hina was first released, she was able to communicate with Li Xuan, according to Hina herself, it seems that Hina used a magic called memory copying, copying Li Xuan's prophecy, so she can communicate with Li Xuan very fluently, if there is no magic of Sheena, the daily communication between Hina and Li Xuan needs to think about where the guardian of the Kunlun Mirror used to rely on sound transmission.
But there is another point that Li Xuan doesn't know if there is a sound transmission magic that can be used in Sheena's magic, and whether he can translate Xina's language into a state that Li Xuan can understand, after all, the cultivation systems of the two of them are fundamentally different, and even Li Xuan has the spiritual power that Xina has, so Li Xuan has to worry about this.
Hina was very surprised when she heard Li Xuan's transmission, and then Xina shook her head thinking about Li Xuan, Li Xuan knew that it was Xina who told Li Xuan that she couldn't communicate with Li Xuan herself.
Then Li Xuan felt that the hand on his mouth was slightly loosened, and then tightened again, Li Xuan knew that it was Sheena who was signaling Li Xuan to come by herself, and then Li Xuan smiled and nodded, and then Xina withdrew her hand, Li Xuan replaced his breathing with luck, quickly covered his mouth and nose again, and then looked in the direction where the voice came from.
Just when Li Xuan looked over, Li Xuan suddenly saw about ten people walking around in various places wearing various clothes, but the movements of those ten people seemed very stiff, and the strange sound actually came from their mouths, and when they looked closely, the flesh on those people actually began to rot, and they looked very disgusting.
"This is, ghouls?!" After Li Xuan saw this scene, he was still very shocked at first, after all, through the situation in front of him, Li Xuan could also know that those people were corpses, but since they were corpses, why could they walk, and then, the answer was about to come out!
Ghouls are dead people or other dead creatures that have been resurrected by a ghost. If a corpse is not incinerated in time, the Wraiths can be resurrected by some cold-related method when they come into contact with them, and the resurrected ghouls are completely at the mercy of the Wraith's intelligence. Just getting close to the ghouls can feel the chill that comes with them.
The appearance of a ghoul depends on the state of the corpse when it is resurrected. Some are about the same as living creatures, while others are almost decomposed - although the process of decay ends when the corpse is resurrected as a ghoul. All ghouls have glowing blue eyes, so they are easy to identify. Presumably, ghouls are drawn to the warmth of flesh and attack living creatures with terrifying strength and ruthlessness. In the case of Othur's ghoul attempting to assassinate Commander Mormont, Jon Snow points out that ghouls can retain memories of their lives, at least some of them—Snow believes that the ghoul Orshur remembers who Mormont is and where he lives.
Ghouls do not feel pain, nor do they affect their attack effectiveness due to injuries. Although they can be rendered ineffective by being completely shattered, their detached bodies can continue to move, and when the ghoul is completely destroyed, the blue glow of its eyes disappears. Ghouls are very flammable and will burn up in a very short time once ignited.
This is Li Xuan's understanding of ghouls, these ghouls are very easy for Li Xuan to deal with, after all, they are afraid of flames, but the problem is that these ghouls are not naturally formed, but controlled by strange ghosts, in this way, Li Xuan can't be reckless, because strange ghosts are not ghouls.
And in addition to these ghouls being afraid of fire, Li Xuan doesn't know their other weaknesses, and even Li Xuan knows nothing about the reason for the formation of these ghouls, after all, they are creatures that have never been seen before, although ghouls are a bit similar to folk zombies, but ghouls are bloodsuckers, which is a bit similar to vampires, but there are other differences between the two.
Li Xuan finally understood why Hina suddenly came to cover her mouth and nose.
