Chapter Twenty-Four: The Cloaked Man

Back at the campfire, Jack snorted coldly at the fat merchant.

"What are you guys telling, have I missed any good stories? Jack Klaa sat down next to the campfire with Ryan, leaving Lee Jin to stand outside.

"We're saying that you're young and bold enough to dare to drill into the deep forest in the middle of the night. The young six joked about Jack.

"What's this, I dare to go to the cemetery in our village alone in the middle of the night. Jack said proudly.

"It's best for small children not to run around at night. A middle-aged man who had never spoken before on the side came out with a sentence, and it seemed that he rarely spoke on weekdays.

"Since you're so daring, I'm going to tell you horror stories. Seeing that everyone did not refute, the sixth man continued.

"Some time before we carried out this mission, we heard that in the vicinity of Nangong City, I heard that there are often strange attacks and deaths of merchants, why do you say bizarre, because the attackers are not like seeking wealth but like murder, basically you can rule out the bandits and robbers, the bandits and robbers are seeking wealth and goods, and the main target is the businessmen and the wealthy, and the teams that were attacked are different, some of the attacked are all unarmed civilians, some are caravan dealers, some are adventurous teams, and even the troubadours have not let go. The sixth reached out and played with the fire and said.

"Bandits and bandits will not attack the troubadours, or they will be surrounded by the Adventure Guild with all their might, so the bandits can be ruled out. ”

"Yes, and the scene was extremely brutal, some of the limbs were broken, some of them were disemboweled, and there was not a single survivor among the people who were attacked. ”

"For this matter, Nangong Cheng invited all the masters to go out of the city to investigate, but he has no clue until now. ”

"I heard that even Master Yi was shocked. ”

"I've also heard about it, and it seems that since it was rumored that Master Yi was going to go out, there have been fewer attacks. ”

"Of course, Master Yi is out of the horse, who would dare to make a mistake. ”

The other adventurers around the campfire also joined in the discussion of this matter, and even the fat merchant, when he heard the name of Master Yi, began to become active, and obviously had great reverence for Master Yi.

Ryan tugged at Jack's sleeve to ask him who Master Yi was, but Jack was listening to the adventurers' talk and asked Ryan to wait for a while.

"But I heard of a badbaddly damaged gramophone note found on a troubadour, and found some clues in it. ”

"What a clue. Everyone else listened with their ears pricked up.

"The gramophone, though badly damaged, still came from it the cries of the men before they died, and the voice of the last man shouting 'Ghost, undead!' before he died. ”

As soon as everyone heard about the undead, they stopped talking, and the atmosphere became a little strange.

"What does the undead look like?" the sword people didn't continue, this time Ryan didn't ask a question, Jack himself asked first, it seems that Jack has heard of it for the first time.

"Hey, I thought the little kid was so capable, it's not that I haven't heard of it. "The fat merchant also seems to be a person who holds grudges, and seizes the opportunity to ridicule even the children.

"We also know very little about the spirits of the dead, and the legends are ominous signs, some say that they are what we call ghosts, evil spirits, etc., and as for what they look like, some say that it is a human skin, but the whole body is full of bones, and some say that it is a corpse walking in clothes. ”

"Like this. Rian timidly gestured to a man in a black cloak sitting next to the fat merchant.

Following Ryan's fingers, everyone noticed that there was suddenly an extra person in the crowd, this person was covered in a cloak, his black robe was on his body, the exposed skin was like a dried bark on his bones, and half of his face was exposed in the cloak, and with the help of the thin moonlight, he saw that the white bones were exposed in some places of the miserable white skin and bones, and the cheeks looked dark, as if there were worms wriggling in them, like two faint pale blue flames dancing in the eye sockets of two large holes, and the stench of corruption was exuding all over his body, just like the smell that Jack and Ryan had smelled in the grass before。 Looking at those two flames, Ryan felt that his whole spirit was corrupting and collapsing, if Ryan's best memory before was the big chicken leg that Merlin tore for him for the first time, then this scene was his most chilling and terrifying memory so far.

The skeletal cloak seemed to grin at Ryan, who could even see that there was something unknown squirming in the skull's mouth, and Ryan felt the food he had eaten today and the food he hadn't digested yesterday tumbling uncontrollably up his stomach, through his esophagus, and out of his mouth. The fat merchant looked at the extra "person" beside him with fear in his eyes, his mouth opened with all his might, and the scream was ready to burst out in his throat.

An innate sense of dread filled Ryan's brain, which wanted to get away from the cloaked man uncontrollably. But everyone watched as the cloaked undead stretched out his right hand, and Ryan and Jack instinctively tried to leave, but compared to the cloaked man's movements, all of them moved and acted as slowly as a snail, and the undead's movements were too fast!

However, the undead had already stretched out his right hand, and with the help of the moonlight, Ryan saw that there was no intact skin on the white hand, and the whole hand was like a pure hand bone with no flesh at all, and the thumb of this hand bone was close to the index and middle fingers, and a dull snapping of fingers caused by the friction of the bones against the bones sounded in the crowd.

"Smack. With that finger as the center, a dark blue light burst out, and as the light expanded, Rien felt that his body and the bodies of the people around him had a tendency to involuntarily fly backwards, as if there was an invisible wall crashing rapidly against his body.

The campfires in the crowd were also discreet, distorted, scattered, and dimmed as if they were driven away by an unsightly wall when they came into contact with the deep blue light......

As the bonfire was about to be extinguished, the reddish flames burst out of orange and then turned pink, and the original unpaid fire burned even more, but now the flames became pink. That's right, pink, a pink that's even more pink than a flower!

"Bang" With a sound, the shock wave of this dark blue light cluster was completely dissipated, and everything within ten meters of the surrounding area was scattered by the impact of the shock wave, like a kite with a broken line, catapulted to all sides, and the fat businessman's cry never had time to shout, because it was closest to the shock wave, the whole was deformed and fell into the grass, some of those mercenaries were bounced into the grass by the shock wave, some were hit into the trees, and some were directly impacted into the mountain, without exception, all of them did not move, Li Jin rushed towards the shock wave because he was full of strength, so he was ejected the farthest, broke two branches and did not stop the residual force of the shock wave, and fell to the tree jungle dozens of meters away, Jack and Ryan don't know where they're being tossed tossed toss.

Captain Yang, who was keeping vigil a little farther away, heard the sound of the shock wave, took off the shield in his hand and rushed over, just saw his partner being affected by the shock wave and fell everywhere, before the person could react, the man in the cloak turned his back to Captain Yang and stretched out his hand, and with a "baa", Captain Yang turned into a sheep.
