The group continued to move deeper into the forest, the pace of which had slowed down, and the extra day had allowed them not to rush to the road, and the previous night's encounter had made everyone more vigilant, and at this time, it was important to get back alive.

After half a night's rest, Fraser had recovered some physical and mental strength, but he was still far from his best. He knew it would be foolish to give it his all before the enemy was all present, but sometimes he had to, but thankfully last night's battle hadn't brought him to the best of his ability, and he had reservations.

The number of the team was already half less than the previous day, and the mercenaries who remained were in no mood to speak, just hurried while guarding against the surrounding situation. Barney walked for a while and couldn't help but walk up to Frazier and ask him, "What was the last move you used to hack that mage to death last night, even the sword glowed." ”

Fraser walked, his face still facing forward. "I poured the power of magic into my sword, so that blow was fused with the power of magic, and with my sword, his shield must not be able to resist. ”

"Speaking of his shield, why can your sword cut through it? Even the first sword shattered the shield without the blessing of magic. Barney continued.

This time, before Fraser could speak, Lyria answered for him. "Didn't you hear that mage say? His sword is called the Sword in the Stone, Barney, you haven't heard of the Sword in the Stone, have you?"

"Of course I've heard of it, don't underestimate me......," Barney shrugged unnaturally. "But I don't know what this sword in the stone is. ”

"Hmph, what's the difference between you and not knowing?" Lyria said disdainfully.

"Alright, don't talk about it, you see what's up ahead?" Geoff interrupted the two and lifted his chin forward.

Fraser had already noticed the anomaly ahead, but he didn't sense the danger, so he led the way, followed by the others. In front of them was a long-abandoned cemetery, with more than a dozen tombstones lying messily on the ground, and next to the tombstones were the empty tombs that had been dug up. There were no living creatures in the whole cemetery, not even the animals of the forest had set foot here, and there was silence and an eerie atmosphere.

"Stay vigilant. Geoff ordered, then walked warily to one of the tombs.

Lyria and Osric watched the crowd around them, while the others stopped in front of the tomb, and Geov rubbed his chin for a moment as he observed. "It's a little weird, what's going on?"

Terrance looked at it for a moment, but couldn't see why, so he asked, "What do you see out of the ordinary? I think the grave has been dug up, and the body inside is missing." ”

"It's not that simple. Geoff gasped. "Don't you see any difference in the soil?"

"Dirt?" Barney leaned closer. "If someone was digging it, the dirt would have been stacked on top of each other, but the dirt ......"

"That's right, Barney, you're finally right. Geoff interrupted Barney. "You can see that the soil is very evenly spread out in all directions, which is a problem. ”

Except for Frazier, everyone else looked at each other and didn't dare to answer Geoff's words, and finally it was Lyria who walked over impatiently. "What don't you dare to say, isn't it that the corpse came out of it by itself, look at how many of you big men are still afraid of this!"

Geoff glanced at Lyria, then at Frazier. "Is this also the work of evil magic?"

Fraser nodded, didn't speak, and walked to the other tomb. The others scattered, surveying all the tombs, and finally gathered again, but Lyria still looked unimpressed. "It looks like all the bodies have crawled out, what do we do next?"

Osric's head kept spinning, and being in this eerie cemetery made him uneasy. "I think we'll stop there, just tell Duluth's client about the situation here, well, let's do it, let's go. ”

"You coward!" Lyria thrashed him. "Our companions have died so much, should we just leave? What do you say we know so far? I don't think we know anything. ”

"What do you want to know?" said Osric the courage he didn't know where he got his courage. "We already know what the hunter is talking about as a figure. ”

Lyria didn't show any weakness, and replied-for-tat, "So how did these corpses come back to life? Where did they go? Who is behind all this? You say, Osric!"

Osric was speechless at Lyria's three questions in a row, and Geoff interjected. "Lyria's point makes sense, we have paid so many of our companions' lives, and if we don't figure out these problems, we won't have the face to go back, okay, let's sort out the clues we've gotten so far......" As he spoke, he looked around for a moment to confirm that there was no situation and continued, "The mage I met last night said that he stopped us here to hide the truth about the cemetery, so he must have something to do with what happened here." ”

"That's right, and he has companions, maybe in this forest. Terrance nodded, and continued.

Osric hurriedly looked around. "Hell, those people aren't going to be looking at us, are they?"

"Don't scare yourself. Lyria glared at him impatiently. "There's also the evil magic that Fraser mentioned that seems to be able to resurrect the dead, just like we see dead companions standing up again, albeit in tatters, so I'm guessing that the resurrection of corpses here is also the work of evil magic. ”

Geoff gave Lyria an appreciative thumbs up. "You're right, that's what happened, the corpses here were resurrected by last night's mage and his companions, but where did those corpses go?"

Barney looked at the ground around him, and then said dejectedly, "It seems that the corpse is long gone, and the footprints are gone, otherwise you can follow the footprints." ”

"Hell, you don't want to go find those corpses, do you!" Osric shook his head helplessly.

Geoff patted Osric on the shoulder. "We have to do this to find the truth, but now it looks like we can't find the bodies. ”

"I have a way. Fraser's sudden remarks startled everyone. "Since the corpse is manipulated by evil magic, there must be remnants of magic, I can feel that. ”

"Can you track them down, then?" said Geoff, looking at Frazier.

"Yes. Fraser's gaze swept over everyone. "But I want to warn you that the reason I don't use the word resurrection when I say manipulation is because the corpses are not resurrected at all, they are just unconscious, puppet-like walking corpses. ”

"So what's that? I think it's better to deal with that than to be conscious. Lyria tilted her head in disdain.

Fraser's gaze looked at Lyria. "So you can't measure them by human standards, their strength, speed, and the damage they can withstand are far beyond the reach of ordinary people. ”

"And then?" Lyria raised an eyebrow.

"I suggest you stop there, and I'll keep tracking it down. ”

Osric listened to Fraser's words, and hurriedly responded. "I think what Fraser said makes sense, let's listen to him, those corpses are so powerful, we will only be a burden to Fraser. ”

Lyria snorted and walked over to Fraser's side. "I'm going along. ”

Geoff shook the hilt of his sword. "I'll go too, and I'll have to give an account to the dead brethren. Then he looked at the other three. "The rest of the journey is too dangerous, I will not force you, if you want to quit go back to the camp, and then go back to Duluth with your companions there, and tell the client about the situation, and tell them that if we can go back, we will tell them the truth. ”

"Hell, are you all crazy? don't you even want your life?" Osric was about to go berserk.

Geoff ignored Osric. "Okay, have you decided?"

Terrance thought about it for a moment and shook his head. "I'm sorry Geoff, but I've decided to quit anyway. ”

"It's okay, Terrance, I understand. Geoff patted Terrance on the shoulder and looked at Barney. "And what about you, Barney?"

"Oh, I...... I quit halfway through Sawabe Village last time, and I want to stick with it this time. Barney forced a smile.

"So be it, Terrance and Osric, you two go back, tell the others about everything that's going on here, and then go back to Duluth with them. Geoff nodded to the two of them.

Terrance and Osric no longer hesitated, and the two said goodbye to the group and set out on the way back. Geoff let out a long breath as if he had just had a nightmare and looked at Fraser. "Where do we go from here?"

Fraser glanced at the three people left behind and looked to the other side of the cemetery. "There. ”
