Volume 2: The Wind Rises in the Yuanyang Continent Chapter 257: Ghouls (2)

It was precisely because Sheena saw these ghouls in advance that Sheena suddenly ran over and grabbed Li Xuan, asked Li Xuan to squat down and covered Li Xuan's mouth, because these ghouls are looking for humans according to human breath, and if they don't breathe, they won't be able to find Li Xuan and them.

But this is not a long-term solution, because behind the ghouls, there are still strange ghosts, and there is no doubt that they are monsters that are much stronger than the ghouls and even more powerful than the previous bone spirits.

Li Xuan's eyes looked at Xina, and found that Xina was using her free hand to depict a very careful magic array, although Li Xuan couldn't understand it, but Li Xuan still believed in Xina very much,

At the moment when Xina finished drawing the magic array, Xina pulled one of Li Xuan's hands over, and then motioned to Li Xuan to put his hand on the magic array carved by Xina.

At the moment when Li Xuan's hand touched the magic array, Li Xuan's voice actually appeared in Xina's mind, and if Li Xuan closed his eyes, he could even see Xina's image, knowing that now Li Xuan knew that what Xina had drawn was a sound transmission formation.

"Ghouls are monsters turned from the corpses of the dead, without heartbeat, breathing, or body temperature, but they are able to move. It retains its memories and personality during its lifetime, and must regularly suck human blood to sustain its life.

Corpse corpse to ghoul is a very slow process of non-deputying transformation that transforms the corpse into another object. If the corpse after death will transform into a ghoul, the brain waves will fluctuate, the original cloudy eye membrane will become transparent, and even the skin will return to the same luster as before death, and the limbs will even be stiff and corpse spots will disappear, but it is still a corpse with no heartbeat, no blood pressure, and no breathing.

Resurrection does not mean rejuvenation. Although the ghouls have excellent regeneration abilities, they are unable to repair the damage they have suffered during their lifetime. The arm that wants to be broken can't grow back. It is possible to recover the atrophied muscles and tissues, but it may be difficult to recover the parts that have been injured. For example, damaged brain tissue and fractures of both legs and intervertebral discs will follow the ghouls for a long time.

The blood of ghouls is different from human blood, and the dark red blood gradually turns into a bright red liquid. The ghouls' blood is densely distributed only in tiny red particles, and there is no tissue other than that, not even venous blood.

Even if human blood is dripped into the blood of a ghoul, it will turn bright red, but if it is sealed and left for a long time, such as half a day to a day, the tissue will settle and separate. At this time, if you drip into the human serum, it will not return to its original bright red color. Also, the blood of the ghouls only reacts to human serum.

There is no way to compare the speed of the ghouls' changes, but it can only be said that entering the fifth day is a very important observation point. It is possible to determine whether the brain waves will be resurrected by looking at the changes in the brain waves, and even if it cannot be measured, it can be determined by the color of the blood sample.

Anesthetic gases, anesthetics, and even large amounts of air injected into the ghouls' bodies do not change at all, and do not work on ghouls, and ghouls do not possess amazing strange powers, and will not disappear without a trace in a puff of smoke, nor will they turn into a bat and run away.

Demons are disgusted by the smell of incense ash and sandalwood, but do not react to aromatics and spices. Even if you put the Buddha statues on their bodies, they will not fester. Ghouls also don't like the sound of bells, and the crisp sound of metal crashing seems to awaken their fears.

Presumably the fear caused by the abnormal brain caused by the ghouls. In addition, the effect of the cross and the Buddha statue is also very good, but what the ghouls are really afraid of is not the Buddha statue, but the radial aura behind the Buddha statue. The same is true of the principle of the cross. Ghouls don't like straight lines very much. However, this only serves to protect oneself from attacks, and does not kill the ghouls. Ghouls cannot eat normal human food and can only accept liquid food.

If you eat solid food, the food will not be digested and will only rot and stink in the stomach. Only human blood can sustain the life of ghouls, and if they can't suck human blood, ghouls will starve to death. Although a ghoul dies once and will not die again, it does not mean that they are immortal.

If the heart is pierced by a stake, the neck is cut off, and the head is broken, it will still die. The other thing is that the ghouls can't get the sun, and once they are exposed to the sun, they will be burned to the ground. Ghouls don't need to breathe because their blood is a gas exchanger, or because they breathe through their skin, so it's useless to plug their muzzle and nose. At the same time, ghouls do not need to excrete.

About one-half of people who are killed by ghouls sucking blood can become ghouls, and whether they wake up or not is related to their physique. As long as one member of the family awakens, the other members almost have the constitution of awakening. Therefore, the ghouls can safely attack their families and increase the number of companions.

Ghouls' self-regeneration abilities are so well developed that they can't be injured by normal methods. The effect of inserting a needle and catheter from the nose and inner ear to the brain is limited, and the regeneration is completed immediately. The best way to do this is to cut off the head and pierce the heart and liver, which is to destroy the place where the large arteries and veins meet, and the wound must not be too small, otherwise it will heal at once with the regeneration rate of the ghoul. It's best to use the large, thick weapons of the stake, so you don't have to worry about the wound healing on its own, and you don't have to worry about the ghoul squeezing the stake out of your body.

The only way to kill the ghouls is to destroy the vascular tissue in an instant, so that they don't have time to heal themselves, or follow the wisdom of their ancestors and cut off their heads with knives. The blood of a ghoul is a living object, and the same is true of the brain, which should be maintained by the blood in the body. So getting a shotgun at close range will also be useful for them.

The ghouls have three key points, the first is the heart, and the second is near the third rib, where the major veins meet the major arteries. The third point is in the back, where the relative position of the navel and the vertebrae meet, where the large veins of the lower limbs parallel to the great arteries. In addition to these three key points, there is also a way to destroy their heads, smash their heads or cut off their entire heads to separate the brain from the body.

Sheena's voice kept coming out in Li Xuan's mind, and after Li Xuan heard Sheena's voice, he didn't need to deliberately memorize it at all, and he could completely record what Sheena said.

Li Xuan didn't expect that Xina would come up with such a way when she couldn't transmit the sound, and Xina obviously knew the ghouls very well, and even knew a lot about the strange ghost Xina, Sheena's voice was not over yet, and the next word Li Xuan heard was the ghost!

............

The strange ghost is tall, withered, pale-complexioned, and its eyes are as blue and deep as ice. Their reflective armor changes color as they move, and their weapons are swords made of extremely cold ice crystals that instantly freeze and shatter objects it touches, including the steel swords used by the Night's Watch. Extremely good movement and special abilities give the Wraith an absolute advantage in battle, so almost no one can survive the attacks of the Wraiths.

Wraiths can turn dead people or animals into ghouls, i.e., moving dead bodies. Ghouls have blue eyes similar to those of the Wraiths and are controlled by the Wraiths, making them the main combat power of the Wraiths.

Their reflective armor changes color as it moves, somewhat resembling the stealth armor worn by the legendary Children of the Forest. They were skilled swordsmanship, wielding long swords that glowed with an eerie blue light that looked like thin shards of crystal, as if cold enough to shatter anything they touched, and the sound of the wraiths was as piercing as ice shattering, and the language they spoke was probably archaic.

Old legends don't give many hard facts. Some stories claim that the strangers will come when it is cold, while others say that the cold came to our world because of them.
