Chapter 22: The Dead Who Went Wrong

Yin Shi is the most sleepy time of the day. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
In the Lotus Cave, Hua Lan was already sleeping in her clothes.
There are three smaller chambers in the cave, her bedroom is the smallest one facing the opening, and the two larger ones have been converted into resting areas for patients, and the connecting areas are used for minor injuries and examinations.
Xiao Shun and Lao Tie were both arranged in the largest rest area at first, but before Hua Lan went to bed, she felt a little uneasy in her heart, and after thinking about it, she carried Xiao Shun to the slightly smaller rest area alone, and the two were temporarily separated.
In the big cave, Lao Tie on the stone bed was still breathing evenly, and he didn't look like a dead person at all, but his face became more and more ruddy, as if he was just sleeping.
Suddenly, the palms of the two hands crossed over their stomachs flicked, as if stimulated by something, and their knuckles began to flex and stretch continuously.
After a while, the movement stopped, and Lao Tie's body returned to calm.
But this calm was only for a moment, Lao Tie's eyelids twitched twice, and then suddenly opened!
The eyeballs were spinning, but there was no anger in the eyes, but they were full of turbidity, as if they were covered by a gloomy gray mist, and they looked extremely gloomy.
But even though his eyes looked like he was blind, Lao Tie who suddenly opened his eyes could still see the scene around him.
It seemed that he had recognized it for a long time, his body trembled, and he didn't see any movement of his hands, his upper body actually stood upright, and then his neck began to turn, looking at the entrances of the two stone chambers outside the big stone room.
The wings of his nose suddenly twitched twice, and then his feet were lifted and fell to the ground, and he paused for a long time after hitting the ground, and then he shook his nose as he walked slowly towards the examination room connected to the stone room.
Although Lao Tie's walking movements did not seem to be strange, they were extremely slow, only one-third of that of a normal person.
But as the number of steps increased, his walking speed became faster and faster, gradually approaching the level of a normal person, and soon walked to the treatment room, following the smell in the air that only he could smell, and turned his direction and walked to Hua Lan's bedroom.
Hua Lan in the bedroom was still asleep, breathing softly with her eyes closed, the fatigue of the whole day was indeed not to be underestimated, she didn't know at all, Lao Tie, who had been judged by her to be a dead man, actually got out of bed and stood up with her eyes open at this moment, and approached her bedroom step by step!
As soon as he stepped into the small stone room, the old iron gray pupils were locked on the shadow on the stone bed, and two fierce lights flashed in an instant, and the whole face was normal, but with the change of eyes, it became hideous in an instant, and the gray and yellow teeth turned out of the mouth, looking sharp and a little abnormal.
There was a slight click, and the bone joints of Lao Tie's two arms were making a soft sound, and I saw his hands with extremely long nails raised, twisting strangely towards Hua Lan.
After a moment of pause in place, Lao Tie's throat let out a low roar, and the figure suddenly rushed towards the stone bed!
That momentum seems to end Hua Lan's life!
......
The night in the quicksand is different from the hot day, but it is extremely cold, but Ding Yao at this time does not feel this way.
The moment the Void Yin Cave anomaly rose, he immediately began to flee towards the outside of the cave, because he knew that the dozens of dead bodies that the fire light shone on at that moment were only a very small part of the huge stone chamber inside the cave.
According to his estimates, he was only afraid that there were at least a hundred dead clans in the cave, and even if Ding Yao was in the middle of the rank, in this completely dark environment, he was not sure that he would have a head-on conflict with these dead clans.
When he escaped from the Void Cave, the figure that poured out of the cave confirmed his suspicions.
Under the moonlight, the first to appear were extremely fast sand beasts, such as wild wolves, caracals, and the like, chasing Ding Yao's figure, not caring at all about the aura of the ability he exposed.
And behind these beasts, there are also sand lizards, daimyo scorpions and other retreating beasts continue to flash, as soon as they get out of the white ice mist outside the cave, they quickly dig up the sand, burrow into the ground and disappear.
Not only the beasts, but also several brute beasts that had entered the barbarian came out of the cave, including the same sand knife beast and thorn ball beast as they had encountered before, all of which were frantically chasing towards Ding Yao.
The last thing that appeared at the entrance of the cave was not a brute beast, but a humanoid figure. Although Ding Yao didn't know him, he could guess that there must be some members of the previous quicksand spit settlement that disappeared!
But he didn't have much of the heart to think about the state of these people now, because these beasts and brutes that had become dead were shocking him.
Generally speaking, the birth of the dead comes from the regeneration of consciousness before the corpse decays, and this newly born consciousness is very shallow, but it is just enough to complete a simple physical accusation, and it will only be born with the gradual improvement after entering the barbarian army.
Therefore, for the lower dead, a large part of their consciousness is used for appetite stimulation, and only by constantly eating can they complete the advanced and obtain a more complex control consciousness.
And because of this, the speed or strength of the lower dead race is usually more than half worse than the state of the native race.
The group of dead people who can come out of the Void Yin Cave is very different, their speed is not only not slow, but even a few points faster than the state before death, it seems that all the potential between the musculoskeletal has been tapped, Ding Yao just escaped from the Void Yin Cave three miles away, and was caught up by the Sand Knife Beast Dead Clan.
Several strands of yellow sand sword qi suddenly stabbed out from the sand, and I saw Ding Yao's giant axe spin suddenly around him, blocking all the sword qi, but his tendency to rush forward was also intercepted.
Through his breath, Ding Yao could judge that this sand knife beast should only be at the first level before his death, but the sword qi on the axe was between the first and second levels, otherwise he would not be able to stop his steps.
It was just a moment when the sand knife beast stopped it, and the other beasts behind it also chased after it, and the wild wolf and the caracal beast rushed towards Ding Yao with their bloody mouths, and under the sand, several sharp claw stingers stabbed out in an instant, stabbing at Ding Yao's vital point, and even more barbarian beasts such as the stinging ball beast also launched an attack at the same time, and dozens of gray and black shadows overwhelmingly surrounded Ding Yao.
The siege of many strange dead clans is only the strength of the middle of the soldier level, and it is afraid that it will be difficult to support, but Ding Yao is unexpectedly calm.
Under the shadow of the cloak, the sharp eyes suddenly burst out with two terrifying rays of light, and the blue and yellow giant axe suddenly appeared with a silvery white light, which was strikingly similar to the moonlight in the sky.
Ding Yao's vitality skyrocketed, and his attributes also changed, becoming extremely strange, and the white light on the axe blade was dazzling to the extreme, and it was raised high, as if it was another full moon rising, and the true moon in the sky reflected each other.
With a leap, the giant axe instantly overlapped with the bright moon in the sky, replacing the dazzling moonlight.
Wiccan Skills, January ......
"Qianjiang!"
The two words spit out his lips coldly, the combat skill that Ding Yao used at this moment was not an ordinary vitality combat skill, but a Wu clan combat skill that was designated as a demon path by the Emperor of the Abandoned Boat!
The moonlight is like water, and dozens of light bands flow out in an instant, like a collapsing river rushing towards the surroundings, and the nearest few sand lizards were suddenly washed away by the river, and the skin and flesh were ground apart, and then the exposed white bones did not support for long, and they were broken into broken bones, completely dead.
The Wu clan's combat skills are huge, although Ding Yao's strength is not enough, and he has not been able to exert his full power, but these dead beasts are completely unable to resist, as long as they are hit by the water of the Yuehua River, they will immediately be swallowed by it, and then melted and shattered, entering the second and final death.
The IQ of the dead beasts is low, and when they see the living creatures, they will swarm up, Ding Yao used this trick, which is to calculate that these dead beasts will continue to approach him, in this way, even if his strength is insufficient, he can't say that the thousand rivers spread out in January, but with relative movement, he can quickly eliminate a large number of dead beasts.
But under the moonlight that seemed to be turbulent but could only fluctuate within a zhang range, those dead beasts that had not yet entered the attack range suddenly paused, and as if they had spiritual intelligence, they quickly dispersed like a tide, and they had no intention of entering the attack range at all!
Ding Yao's dark red eyes flickered.
The shock of this group of dead beasts was too great, and it was once again beyond his expectations, as if he could judge the strength of the Wu Clan's combat skills.
Abnormal!
This group of dead people is very abnormal!
Ding Yao frowned and immediately cut off the input of vitality. Since he couldn't make meritorious contributions, there was no need to maintain this extremely energy-consuming Wu Clan Battle Technique, and in just a short period of time, most of the vitality in his body was exhausted, leaving less than a quarter of the body.
The axe blade flung behind him, and Ding Yao didn't care about the retreating dead, and rushed away as fast as he saw a gap.
There are too many strange things about the current scene, this group of dead people is completely different from the description circulating among humans, and Ding Yao is no longer sure that he will fight them head-on.
Seeing that extremely threatening combat skill disappeared, and the gray figure began to flee again, the remaining dead suddenly stopped retreating and began the endless pursuit again.
In this way, a gray shadow deviated from the direction of the returning sand spit and fled quickly, while the hundreds of dead behind him followed his footsteps like tails that could not be shaken off.
And the dead who were killed by Ding Yao's combat skills on the spot, there were still a few remnants that were not completely dissolved by the water of the Huajiang River in that month, and they were scattered on the quicksand.
After a while, strange changes began to begin on some of the stumps, and strange bulges suddenly appeared in some different parts, like a tumor suddenly growing, constantly getting bigger, and when it swelled to the size of a fist, it fell directly from the broken body, and dragged a long strip of soft flesh at the end, like a giant earthworm.
As soon as these "earthworms" hit the ground, they began to shake wildly, as if the poisonous gases emitted from the air made them unable to survive, and the skin quickly dried up and wrinkled, and then continued to shrink, and finally made a soft crackling sound, becoming countless debris and dust, floating in the sand.
The color of the dust, after blending into the sand, disappears without a trace.
......
In the Lotus Cave, Lao Tie's sharp minions were all grabbing towards Hua Lan, and when he was about to get close to Hua Lan's skin, a blue and white light burst out from the stone bed!
Poof!
What appeared was a palm-sized knife, but it was a tool used by Hualan to perform minor surgeries on weekdays, and at this time it was covered with a faint layer of vitality, just a stroke, the two wrists that Lao Tie grabbed were broken in response, and blood immediately gushed out, spraying on the stone bed as if he didn't want money.
Hua Lan's figure had long since disappeared from the stone bed, and she stood at the door of the bedroom wearing thin clothes, with an extremely cold expression on her face, frowning at the old iron who let out a low howl of pain.
"The Dead?"
Lao Tie howled, his wrists had disappeared, and he looked back at Hua Lan fiercely, where was there still a little bit of sanity!
The pain of the severed hand only made him pause for a moment, and in a hissing voice, he turned and threw himself towards the door.
With a faint sigh, a blue-white light flashed from Hua Lan's hand again, slashing at Lao Tie's throat.
Blood, spurting again!
