Chapter XXVIII: A Bad Place 2

Feeling the touch of his clothes, Gordon noticed that someone was touching him behind him.

With a slight frown, Gordon turned his head abruptly.

Looking at Gordon's cold expression that suddenly turned, Claes was taken aback.

But she didn't say much, instead pointing behind her.

Seeing that the other party was in trouble, Gordon didn't say anything, so he looked back in the direction of Claes's finger.

I saw that under the branch of a large half-bald tree a little behind him, a gray-black skeleton stood up tremblingly, and slowly moved towards the group here.

Seeing this, Gordon was not surprised, in such a place full of the smell of corruption and death, it was not strange at all that an undead creature like a skeleton appeared.

In the wizarding world, it is not strange that there are such places, whether they are larger or smaller than the ominous land in front of them.

However, when Gordon continued to look, he noticed that the soil at the root of a large dead tree was loosening.

Slowly, the degree of loosening of the soil is getting bigger and bigger!

Then Gordon saw a pair of black, rotting hands suddenly reach out from under the soil.

"Ghoul!"

Gordon was slightly startled, and immediately recognized the undead creature that had not yet fully emerged.

The creature level and strength of the 'ghoul' are far higher than the previous skeleton.

'Ghouls' are creatures that are resurrected after human death due to some external reasons.

Generally speaking, the people who can turn into ghouls are mostly mercenaries and knights from ordinary countries.

These warriors, who have a certain amount of force in their own right, once resurrected after death and become 'ghouls'.

Then its strength and defense will be greatly improved, and the system that is very difficult to hurt will make them not afraid of death.

In addition to the 'ghoul', to a certain extent, he will remember the fighting instinct in life.

Therefore, 'ghouls' are a relatively difficult creature to deal with among low-level wizard apprentices.

And because the 'ghoul' has almost no materials and organs on his body, which can be used by wizard apprentices.

So, the defenses are high and difficult to deal with, and the addition of almost useless corpses makes ghouls one of the last creatures that wizard apprentices want to encounter.

......

Soon, a ghoul covered in gray-black and dark red carrion, on which maggots could still be seen, appeared in front of Gordon.

When the first ghoul appeared, Gordon looked over and saw signs of churning in several places in the pitch-black soil.

Seeing such a scene, Gordon's face changed.

The strength of these 'ghouls' is not comparable to the ordinary ghosts encountered before, and the skeleton that is still walking.

Most crucially, ghouls are fast.

This is definitely fatal enough for the few reserves behind him who are not even beginner wizard apprentices.

Thinking of this, Gordon turned his head and looked at the black-robed wizard not far in front of him.

Gordon was a little puzzled, now was not the time to test these newcomers.

Not to mention, Gordon had never heard of a full-fledged wizard who would choose to use a ghoul when considering a newcomer!

"So, what is this black-robed wizard in front of him thinking?"

"Unless ......"

Gordon squinted slightly, looking at the black-robed wizard not far in front of him, and suddenly thought of something.

However, Gordon would not call him, let alone bother the other party.

To know what kind of consequences would be triggered by rashly disturbing a thinking wizard, Gordon knew very well.

Because once when Gordon was a third-level wizard, in the process of going on an expedition, he turned the two first-level wizards who interrupted his thinking into ashes with anger!

So Gordon is well aware of this anger.

What's more, what does the life or death of the few people behind him have to do with him!

And at this time,

When Claes and the other four saw the terrifying and disgusting ghoul in the distance, they finally couldn't hold back the fear in their hearts and exclaimed!

"Ahh

"Oh my God..."

The exclamation was not loud, and it was obvious that several people still knew some measure.

But in Gordon's eyes, it was enough.

Sure enough, the black-robed wizard turned his head, and after spotting the ghoul rushing towards him, he waved his hand and threw out a dazzling light!

"Bang!"

The moment the ghoul was hit by this light, he flew backwards backwards, and finally slammed into a dead tree, breaking it with a creak before falling to the ground, motionless!

"Follow me!"

A hoarse voice sounded, and after the black-robed wizard said this, he began to accelerate forward.

Gordon immediately followed, and several other people also reacted quickly, and hurriedly followed with frightened faces.

At this moment, hearing the sound of wheezing behind him, Gordon glanced back as he ran.

Only then did I find that there were already three ghouls rushing towards the group behind me.

The rest of the ground was churning soil, and there were even a few ghouls that were half out of their bodies, and the other half was struggling in the soil.

The ghouls are fast, but because of the distance, it will take a while to catch up with the group.

Ghouls are also territorial, and once their prey has left their attributed environment, they will not continue to chase them.

Although they have great strength, their wisdom is extremely limited in their rotten brains.

It can't support the memories that ghouls can regain after leaving the territory.

So as soon as they stop somewhere, they will rip off the soil under their feet and get back in!

And once the ghouls get lost in the place beyond the territory, because of the special nature of the required environment, then the only thing that awaits them is death!

......

The area of this place of death is not large, and the group can already see the edge in the distance as they run.

The group of ghouls behind them followed closely, and the distance kept getting closer.

At this moment, with an exclamation, Emily stepped on a small stone under her feet, and her body suddenly became unstable, and then fell hard.

"Oh my God!"

Hearing the screams coming from behind him, Claes couldn't help but glance back and exclaimed!

Then she saw that not far from Emily, who had fallen to the ground behind her, a horde of ghouls was rushing forward frantically.

But at this time, almost everyone else didn't seem to hear, and no one looked back at all, even if they glanced at Emily like Claes, they were all running forward desperately.

Falling behind at this time is likely to mean death!

With little hesitation, Claes chose to stay close behind Gordon.

As for Emily, for the others, it was almost a sentence of death, or was she bitten to death by a ghoul!
