Chapter 10: The Corpse Golem
"Village Chief"
Looking at the old man around the corner, Mo Fan was a little surprised.
I didn't expect to meet the village chief of Nanliang Village, and the conversation in the Soul Temple a few days ago made him understand the dead girl.
So he was very impressed by this old man, and when he looked at the other party waving to him, he hesitated for a moment and walked over.
"Master Mo, why did you run into Nanliang Village, hurry up, there are ghosts here."
Walking in front of the old man, before Mo Fan could speak, the old man said with a panicked face.
"Ahh
Hearing the old man say this, Mo Fan was stunned!
Then he asked, "What do you mean by that?" ”
Seeing Mo Fan asking, the old man first looked around cautiously, then pulled Mo Fan into the shadow around the corner, sighed, and then spoke.
"Alas! Don't you know, there are actually few living people in Nanliang Village now. ”
"Why do you say that," Mo Fan wondered.
"This starts with Zheng Xiuxiu's disappearance three months ago, after Zheng Xiuxiu went missing three months ago, the whole village began to look for her, but I also told you that I couldn't find her for a long time."
"But after that time, a series of strange phenomena suddenly occurred in the village, first someone heard a woman's cry at night, and then the night watchman saw several little boys playing in the street in the middle of the night, and then many people in the village suddenly began to die inexplicably."
Then the nightmare began, and not only did the livestock in the village die one after another, but many people became abnormal. Hide at home during the day and don't go out, and when the sun sets and the night falls, then open the door and go out. ”
"Until this time, these people who were still normal discovered the secret, and they planned to go to Crimson Cloud City to report the news, but it was too late, and no matter how they walked, they couldn't get out of the village."
"So in order to survive, everyone had to pretend to be like abnormal people, hiding at home during the day and not going out, and only going out at night."
"In that case, why didn't you tell those three adults from Scarlet Cloud City about this matter at the Soul Temple a few days ago?" After listening to what the old man said, Mo Fan asked suspiciously.
"How dare you! The goblin was among the three of us. The old man shook his head and said helplessly.
"You mean Li Shan," Mo Fan raised his scabbard-like eyebrows and looked at the old man, trying to confirm his conjecture.
"Yes! It's Li Shan. Hearing the old man's affirmation, Mo Fan took a deep breath, fortunately he didn't walk into the village at noon.
Otherwise...... He's really dangerous.
After sorting out his thoughts, he suddenly thought that Uncle Xiao seemed to have come to Nanliang Village that day, so he asked the old man again.
"Didn't those three adults from Scarlet Cloud City come to the village with you? Didn't they find out what was going on here? ”
"Don't mention it, those three adults are also very weird!" Mo Fan's words obviously reminded the old man of something.
"What a strange method," Mo Fan asked eagerly.
Looking at the eagerness in Mo Fan's eyes, the old man pondered for a while and recalled.
"When the three adults of Scarlet Cloud City came to the entrance of the village that day, they suddenly stopped, and then only listened to the bearded adults in the lead and Li Shan say, we can't go in now, otherwise we will wake up that person in advance."
After that, the adult muttered a few more words to Li Shan, and then rode away with the other two adults.
"How can this be," Mo Fan was a little confused at this time, according to the old man, Uncle Xiao and the ghost who turned into Li Shan knew each other.
But how can humans walk with ghosts, this is counterintuitive!
In the bright moonlit night, Mo Fan, who was standing in the shadows around the corner, his mind was in chaos.
And at this moment, looking at Mo Fan, who was in thought, the old man suddenly grabbed his arm and said anxiously: "Master Mo, hurry up, when it is almost dawn, that ghost Li Shanke will come back." ”
With that, the old man pulled him out of the corner and walked towards another street.
"Does Li Shan come back every day when it's almost dawn?" Mo Fan, who was following the old man, asked inexplicably.
"Yes! Every day, I came back after five watches when it was almost dawn. The old man who walked in front replied without thinking.
However, when he finished answering this sentence, he saw Mo Fan, who was following him, suddenly pulled out the pig-killing knife pinned to his waist and slashed directly at the back of his neck.
"Bang it!"
The sound of metal clashing sounded, and I saw a spark from the pig-killing knife bounce off the back of the old man's neck.
"When did you find out," the old man turned around, looked at Mo Fan, who had taken a few steps back, and asked with a frown.
"When the knife falls on your neck." Mo Fan said indifferently.
In fact, when the old man grabbed his arm, he suddenly felt a trace of pain in deep thought, so when he came back to his senses, he suddenly realized how an old man who was about the age of a sixtieth birthday could be so angry.
Then I thought of the task on the waist card, "Every time in the dead of night, the corpse puppets hidden in the villages three miles away from the east will come out to suck people's yang energy. ”
According to the description of the waist card and what the old man said, if Li Shan was a corpse puppet, then he should not leave Nanliang Village at night.
So the corpse golem should have someone else.
And after he entered Nanliang Village, everyone hid back in fear after hearing Li Shan, but this Nanliang Village chief did not.
Instead, he told him that there were ghosts and told him to leave quickly.
This is very problematic, plus the other party is pulling him in the direction not outside the village, but on the other side.
If Mo Fan wasn't a fool, he would have guessed that the other party was the corpse puppet.
Sure enough, when the pig-killing knife slashed the back of the opponent's neck, it was like slashing on a stone.
With such a hard body, there are no other ghosts except the legendary corpse golem.
Sure that the other party was a corpse puppet, he didn't want to talk nonsense, so he pinned the pig-killing knife in his hand to his waist, and then took off the long knife tied to his back and held it in his hand.
After a few attempts, he had determined that the Pig Killing Knife really didn't work against ghosts like corpse golems.
This is also the reason why he put away the pig-killing knife and replaced it with a long knife, which was given by his father on his twelfth birthday.
The name of the knife is the blood blade, which is forged by the repeated beating of the red flame iron and the superposition of hundreds of times, although the sharpness cannot be sharpened like clay, but the thick tree with the mouth of the bowl can be cut with one knife.
Coupled with the fact that his strength has increased greatly after taking the primary strength potion, he is now full of confidence, even if he can't kill the other party, he can escape with his whole body.
So, when the blood blade was in his hand, he took the lead in attacking the corpse puppet that had turned into an old man.
While! While! While!
When the moon is in the sky, in the dark night, only the sound of metal collision resounding throughout Nanliang Village.
Bang!
It was a punch-to-punch collision.
Under the moonlight, I saw Mo Fan holding the bloody blade long knife in his right hand and slashing at the corpse puppet's parried left arm, followed by his left hand clenching his fist to meet the corpse puppet's attacking right fist.
"A little capable," looked at Mo Fan, who was blocking his attack, and said with a grinning mouth that looked like he had eaten garlic.
"Humph!" Hearing the corpse puppet's praise, Mo Fan snorted coldly and didn't bother with it, but pulled away a few steps, bent his legs and used his strength to kill the corpse puppet again with killing intent.
