Chapter 144: The Town's Horror - Falling from the Sky
At this time, Barrett was hiding on the roof of a building, like a chimpanzee that had broken into human society, bending deeply and slowly along the ridge of the roof cautiously.
According to the maddening hints of little Eve in the tombstone, "...... ahead", "......", "......", and "ahead", he constantly adjusted his direction, little by little, away from the main street of the town, and became more and more remote.
It seems that little Eve's home is not in the center of town.
"...... ahead", "......", Barrett has a headache for such a way of communication. Anyway, you can say "left" or "right" more, instead of saying nothing when I choose the wrong direction.
In fact, he didn't plan to jump around on the roof like a monkey who was very good at climbing and deciphering. He initially intended to leave through the back door of Daniel's house, but the zombie Daniel was so verbose that he had to climb onto the roof to escape.
Barrett was about to turn around and leave silently in that atmosphere that was very suitable for parting, but Daniel suddenly told him again, "By the way, you must not only remember me, but also remember the name 'Pamela' well, because you killed her." Although she has become an unconscious ghost, before that, I must say, she is a good woman who likes to gossip and gossip. And you, let this kind woman return to nothingness......"
And when Barrett was about to leave again with a dark face, Daniel stopped him again, and said with a serious face, "I can see that you are a ruthless and cruel adventurer, and you will not have the slightest mercy for undead spirits like us, but I still want to ask you for one thing." I know you want Viscount Fried's Lich Crate, but I want you not to kill Pamela like you did him, because the Viscount is important to the stability of the town. Actually, I don't think you have what it takes to kill the Viscount, but if it does happen, and you still have the possibility of choosing, I hope you will think about it for a moment, for the sake of us chatting for so long. ”
Well, if it takes a little longer, I won't even have the heart to kill you.
By the time the zombie had said this, the Death Knight on the street had led the skeleton guards to the door of the house. This made his original plan - to go downstairs and leave quietly through the back door - completely ruined, and it was still the kind of soup that could not be drunk.
A vicious battle is almost inevitable.
Barrett, holding the hilt of his sword, waited at the staircase on the second floor, and looked at Daniel with suspicion. He believes that the zombie is likely planning to delay Pamela's departure because of his demise. But then, the zombie Daniel inexplicably pulled a rope on the wall next to him, and then a dusty ladder was lowered from the ceiling!
"Use the ladder to go up to the attic, climb up to the roof through the attic skylight, and leave from the roof. Daniel said to Barrett, "The houses here are so dense that you can easily walk between them. However, it is important to note that the roofs of many buildings are already rotting, so be careful not to fall off with one foot in the air. Of course, if you do fall, you may encounter some unexpected 'surprises'. Because when this town was sealed, it was not only the inhabitants of the town who were imprisoned in this space, but also all the wealth of the entire town. ”
"Apart from those mages, you're the first living person to come here in hundreds of years. ”
......
Jumping from the roof of one building to another, leaning diagonally against the steep slope of the roof, all of these things require a lot of physical agility to be able to do. But for Barritt, none of this is difficult.
And the most difficult part is his weight.
Barrett was agile, but his muscular body was unbearable for the rotting stone slabs and bricks on the roof.
At the time of the incident, Barrett was half-crouched on the roof of a barn-like building, staring intently at a wandering ghost with a strong color of the spirit. The ghost stopped in mid-air in the distance, motionless.
Originally, he would not have paid attention to such ghosts, because there were similar ghosts, or undead creatures such as spirits, in the mid-air in many parts of the town. But the one he saw now was a very strange ghost. The cyan spirits were darker than the other spirits, but they were blurry.
As Barrett stared at it and moved slowly, the ghost's body began to slowly split before his eyes! Under the hazy moonlight, the ghost's blurred body began to split in two, first the head, then the shoulders and body, and finally the legs and feet.
With a "snap" (Barritt brain supplement), he watched a ghost, unbelievably split into two identical ghosts, what is the situation?
The strange sight in front of him captured his full attention, so much so that Barrett ignored the possible danger beneath his feet. A rotten stone slab snapped as he shifted his body's center of gravity.
A chain reaction ensued, as the roof collapsed bigger and bigger, and our brute adventurer fell off the roof without incident.
When adjusting his body in mid-air, Barrett was still subconsciously thinking about the previous scene, could it be that it wasn't a ghost split into two, but a pair of twin ghosts overlapping each other?
He didn't know.
The height of the barn was about the height of a two-story house, and Barrett adjusted his body in time to minimize the damage of the fall, but when he rolled to his feet, he still felt his legs tingle.
That's not something he needs to pay attention to right now, though. With the help of the moonlight projected through the large broken hole overhead, Barrett found himself an uninvited guest again, because there were other undead in the barn.
Corpse demons, a total of five corpse demons.
It is a very evil undead spirit that devours the life force of living creatures in order to quench their longing for the soul they have lost.
The five corpse demons in front of them, some of them were wearing tattered clothes before their deaths, and some were naked~~~~body~~~~, and their crazy eyes flashed with fierce and hungry light. The corpse's skin was clung to the bone like tattered leather, the teeth on its face were sharp, jagged spikes, its hands were like eagle talons, and its black nails were long and pointed.
Each attack of this undead drains the life force and resilience of the living creature, and any humanoid creature killed by the corpse will soon turn into another corpse and be controlled by the one who killed it.
Among the five undead corpse demons in front of him, there was obviously such a more powerful corpse demon that controlled other similar species. Not only that, but the corpse leader was dressed differently from his kind.
It was wearing rusty light armor, and the armor actually had exquisite hollow patterns, and in its hand it held a strange long sword that shone pale green, a soul-sucking long sword.
When the corpse demon leader saw Barrett descend from the sky, his face was obviously stunned. Its eyes were not as fierce and frantic as the other corpses, but shone with a sparkle of reason.
"Lolth?tlu?mallajal?ultrinnan?zhah?xundus!" the corpse leader spoke in a language Barrett didn't understand, and the other corpses bent down around it like hounds, looking at Barrett with fierce expressions, as if they were about to pounce on him in the next second.
Barrett couldn't understand the words, but he was sure it wasn't dwarven, elven, orc, or goblin.
"A living human? good!" the corpse leader swapped the strange language for a lingua franca, "A human adventurer has come to this dead space?" ”
It smiled viciously, "Hey, living, do you want to be my kind?"
