Chapter XXXVIII

"Smack, smack, smack. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info "There was footsteps not far away.

Miria and Joseph were shocked to see who would be coming this way in this silent night, and when they looked around, they saw Jotun coming towards the camp with agility.

Jordan ...... When did you leave the camp?" Miria looked incredulous.

"That's probably when you two started talking. Jotun smiled evilly, Miria tried to frown, but held back, while Joseph smiled and said nothing.

"You finish your first shift, don't you have a good rest, what are you wandering around!" Milia still couldn't help but complain, but she was secretly glad in her heart, fortunately Jotun didn't see the picture of her hugging Joseph, otherwise the talkative cat spirit would have told the others about it.

"Hehe, I originally wanted to breathe, who would have thought that you were in Qingqing, me, and me, in order not to disturb you, I had to go somewhere else for a walk. Jotun stuck out her tongue with a wicked look, and Miria felt the urge to punch Jotun in the face and smash his ill-intentioned cat face.

"I'm just talking about my background. Joseph replied faintly, as if nothing had happened.

"Leave it to you, tell me about me, I found a cemetery in the northeast, and I found some troublesome things. Jotun suddenly became serious.

"Cemetery...... Are they undead?" Miria became serious as well, it wasn't a good thing that undead creatures appeared around their camp.

"It's the corpse collector!" Jotun waited, his eyes glowing in the night.

"If it's a corpse collector, then I'm afraid there will be trouble, we know too little about these creatures. Tully suddenly stepped out of the tent, his complexion was good, apparently not from being woken up.

Miria saw Tully and immediately panicked, while Joseph smiled, as if she didn't care, Tully looked at Miria and smiled awkwardly, Milia suddenly felt her face hot, she immediately lowered her head and didn't dare to make a sound.

"It's strange to have a cemetery in such a desolate place, not to mention the presence of corpse collectors, who often appear on the battlefield or wherever there are corpses, and no one knows how they came to be, or what they are collecting corpses for. Tully deliberately didn't look at Milia with her head down, he was probably afraid that Miria would be embarrassed.

"Shall we observe the corpse collectors, then?" asked Joseph softly, smiling and squinting at Tully, not shying away from anything.

"Jotun, wake up Terry. Tully instructed Jotun for a moment, then turned his head to Joseph, "You and Miria are here to take care of little Ellie, and Jotun and Terry and I will go and see what the corpse gatherers are going to do, to determine if they pose a threat to us." ”

Joseph nodded lightly, and didn't ask anything more, while Miria kept her head down, and she probably wouldn't say anything more like this.

Terry yawned and rubbed his eyes as he walked out of the tent, and after a few brief words of explanation from Tully, he left the camp with Jordan and Terry, leaving Miria and Joseph alone in front of the campfire.

"Maester Tully is in good spirits...... Joseph said softly as he looked at Tully's back.

"Squint!Don't mention me hugging you again!As if it hadn't happened, I'm just sympathetic to you, so comfort you with a hug, don't have any misunderstanding!" Miria ignored Tully, who was gone, and yelled at Joseph.

"Don't worry, I understand. Joseph squinted at Miria and said softly. Miria nodded in satisfaction, she really wished none of this had happened, it was a shame that a proud winged man would hug a human.

"Huh, what hug? Sister Miria hugged Joseph?" Alicia Yuan opened the curtain of the tent with wide eyes, and she looked at Miria and Joseph expectantly, waiting for their answer.

Miria covered her face with her right hand, she really wanted to plunge into the sea at the moment and never come out again, and Joseph laughed unconsciously, it was so funny...... It's so hard to explain......

It was a simple cemetery, and there was only one mound in the cemetery, but it was surprisingly large, and a group of corpse collectors knelt around the mound, kowtowing to the mound, and chanting some incantation.

"I'm glad you can tell it's a cemetery......" Tully frowned, and couldn't help but spit out.

"Meow, I'm not easy!" Jotun smirked, so that Tully didn't know what to say.

"I've seen corpse collectors a few times in my previous travels, and they don't seem to have the desire to hurt people, if people don't get too close to them, of course. Terry stared at the strangely behaved corpse collectors and whispered to Tully and Jotun.

"You've only seen the corpse collectors with your own eyes? I've only read about them in books, people know so little about them, what do you see corpse collectors like?" Tully was intrigued, he had always been a man of curiosity.

"Hmm...... It's similar to the corpse collectors in front of me, it was a battlefield full of dead bodies, and I happened to pass by there, and there were some people cleaning up the corpses on the battlefield, and then the corpse gatherers appeared. Terry propped his chin in his right hand and remembered, his memory was always good.

"If the book is correct, they're supposed to collect corpses on the battlefield, right?" Tully whispered, waiting expectantly for Terry to answer his question.

"Yes, but not every corpse collector will take it, they will choose the corpse they need on the battlefield. Terry nodded, the scene hard to forget.

"Meow! The people who cleaned up the corpses on the battlefield must have been terrified. Jordan chimed in.

"I think some people may not pay attention to the legends of the continent of Yarrow, and a few people may think that this group of corpses is just scavengers on the battlefield, so they stepped forward to drive them away, but one of the corpse collectors screamed at one of them, and that person fell to the ground, not moving. ”

Terry said this, unconsciously shrugged his shoulders, a helpless expression.

"Just screaming?" Jotun looked incredulous.

"It's just a strange scream, that kind of scream, it's really unforgettable......"

"Woo-woo!" Before Terry could finish speaking, the crowd of corpses surrounding the huge mound of dirt screamed in unison, and their screams were very ugly and weird, and the sound was really chilling.

Tully, Jordan, and Terry immediately leaned down nervously, but apparently the corpse gatherer hadn't noticed them, they just screamed and continued to worship the mound, continuing their ritual-like behavior.

"Oh my God, this weird scream, the others must be paralyzed with fear. Jotun wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, he was startled out of a cold sweat by the sudden strange scream, but it was not to blame Jotun, because Tully also unconsciously dripped.

"Yes! The others immediately collapsed on the ground, but instead of continuing to attack the men, the corpse collectors picked up the corpses on the battlefield, and finally after collecting some of the corpses, the corpse collectors left the battlefield, and they left as quickly as if they had disappeared. ”

Terry didn't seem to be intimidated by the scream, perhaps because he had heard it before.

"Did you check on the man who fell to the ground?" asked Tully, curious.

"Of course, at first I thought the man was scared to death, but when I looked over, I realized that the whites of the man's eyes were left. Terry looked at Tully, and he knew that Tully must know why that man was the way he was.

"The soul has been plundered, this is not a simple death curse, it should be regarded as a soul snatching curse, it seems that this is the talent of the corpse collector, we have to be careful. Tully's tone slowed and sank, and he looked solemn.

Terry and Jotun glanced at each other, both nodded, who knows if they can resist the corpse collector's Imperius curse, if they can't bear it, then they will probably die, how can this be reassuring.

"Ahh

I saw that the huge mound of earth began to tremble, and the violent tremor seemed to move everything around it, making people feel as if the earth was trembling. As the trembling intensified, a huge arm stretched out from the mound, followed by another arm from the mound, and the mound showed a huge crack, and a huge body sat up from the mound.

"Ahh

"Look...... It was as if the souls of the corpse collectors had poured into that huge body!" Jotun Yuan's eyes widened, his mouth wide open, and his beard dragged down.

I saw black shadows flying out of the fallen bodies of the corpse collectors one by one, and the black shadows poured into the huge body and merged with it, and gradually, all the corpse collectors turned into a pile of shabby cloaks, and the huge body stood up......

"Oh no! he's spotted us!" Tully yelled, and sure enough, the huge, unknown thing rushed at the three of Tully, who immediately dispersed, each pulling out their weapons.

"Woo-woo!" roared the huge monster, its hands slammed into its chest, its appearance was indescribable, it looked like a human and not a human, it looked like a human being, it had limbs, a body, a head, and inhuman, it did not have a complete face, and even its body was not complete, as if it were ......

"This guy is made from corpses!" Terry yelled, yes, it was made from corpses, so it could have eyes on its arms, eyes on its chest, and it had only a human form, not a human form.

"It turns out that this is the purpose of the corpse collectors, I thought of a book I once read, which recorded monsters like this, this kind of monster is called the Legion of the Dead, I really can't imagine that they are collected by corpse collectors, and they are monsters that give corpse collectors souls. ”

Tali sneered, he gritted his teeth, always paying attention to the army of the dead in front of him, he also thought that a battle was probably inevitable.

The Legion of the Dead screamed again, and it pounced on Jotun first, and it slapped its palm at Jotun, who hurriedly dodged away.

"Meow, don't you hate cats, you stinky monster?" said Jotun as he lunged towards the Legion of the Dead, striking it in the leg with his short sword.

The Legion of the Dead kicked Jotun, Jotun dodged in a hurry, and Terry rushed up, raising his katana and slashing at the leg of the Legion of the Dead, slashing into the flesh of the Legion of the Dead, but the Legion of the Dead did not react, and it continued to pursue Jotun.

"Meow, what's this guy doing, why is he only chasing me?" Jotun shouted as he ran.

Indeed, the legion of the dead is also to blame, it does not care about Terry who pursues it, but only runs after Jotun. Jotun ran ahead, the Legion of the Dead in the back, and Terry after the Legion of the Dead, with Tully watching it all and pondering something.

"Jotun, close your eyes!" Tully shouted, Jotun showed absolute trust in Tully, and he immediately closed his eyes even though the Legion of the Dead was chasing him.

After Jotun closed his eyes, the Legion of the Dead stopped chasing Jotun and pounced on Terry in turn, who was taken aback and quickly dodged.

"Jotun, open your eyes!" Tully shouted again, and Jotun immediately opened his eyes, and the legion of the dead pounced on Jotun again.

"The Legion of the Dead seems to be acting only on its senses, and Jotun's cat's eyes attract the Legion of the Dead first in the dark, so it is not Jotun who chooses it first, but Jotun's eyes. Tully shouted.

"Then am I going to keep running like this?" Jotun was a little crying at this time, the cat spirit had a pair of cat eyes, could it still be a crime.

"Terry, climb with me to the shoulders of the Legion of the Dead!" Tully shouted, and immediately rushed towards the Legion of the Dead, and Terry answered and rushed over.

Terry's body was easy, and he quickly climbed onto the shoulders of the Legion of the Dead, and although Tully was slightly chubby, he was also surprisingly agile, and it didn't take long for him to climb on the shoulders of the Legion of the Dead, and the Legion of the Dead only cared about chasing Jotun, not at all Tully and Terry.

"You come with me to make a hole in its head!"

Tully shouted at Terry, who immediately nodded in agreement, Tali used his broadsword Wanderer's Heart, and Terry used his katana, and the two of them slashed and slashed at the head of the Legion of the Dead, and the head of the Legion of the Dead splattered flesh and blood, but the Legion of the Dead felt no pain at all, and in a short time, a large hole was opened in its head.

"This monster is only a corpse in its outer body, it doesn't feel pain, its weakness is only the souls of those who gather corpses, and since they can flood into this body, they can get out of here!" Tully said, pulling his short bow open and aiming the arrow at the hole in the head of the legion of the dead.

"My shortbow is called the Sin Eater, and the arrows it uses have burst magic, and I used some of it last time I fought the Kraken in Polipoli, so there's not much left, so let's give it all to this legion of the dead. Tully fired several arrows in a row, and the arrows went through a large hole in the head of the Legion of the Dead, and went straight into its body.

"Jump! Run!" Tully shouted at Terry, who jumped off the shoulders of the Legion of the Dead, and Terry didn't hesitate and jumped quickly.

"Bump, bump, bump!"

Several explosions came from the body of the legion of the dead, its body was suddenly torn apart, flesh and blood splattered, followed by countless black substances flying out of its body, and dissipated, after the last black substance flew out, the legion of the dead also fell to the ground.

Tully, Jotun, and Terry surrounded them, and they looked at the motionless bodies of the legion of the dead, all sweating, if it wasn't for Tully's quick reaction and the first to see the doorway, then this battle would not have ended easily.

"Looks like the Legion of the Dead has a big weakness. Terry stared at the large body and said in a pleasant tone.

"That's not necessarily, I think this legion of the dead, because it has just been combined with the soul of the corpse collector, has not yet been fully controlled, so it will simply rely on the first sense, if they are perfectly combined, the consequences will be unimaginable......"

Tali said with trepidation, he knew best that it was just luck, and he didn't want to face such a monster again.

"At least we won!" Terry smiled, he was a carefree man, "this huge corpse...... What about the corpses?"

"Burn it, save yourself the trouble. Tully whispered that it was not a good thing to keep such a defiled piece of corpse, and Terry agreed to the offer, so Terry immediately began to prepare for the incineration of the corpse.

"Wait...... You're having a good time......" Jotun waved his hand, he looked at Tully and Terry with a depressed expression, and couldn't help but complain, "So what am I this time?

Tully and Terry looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh, yes, Jotun is indeed a bait this time, but it is the key to their victory over the Legion of the Dead, if not Jotun...... That's hard to think......
