Chapter 33: Severed Limbs

"I've seen bodies, and two of them. Lina pointed to the grass more than ten meters in front of her, where the half-human-high grass had an obvious indentation, which was difficult to ignore.

"Corpses?" Catherine stood her shield in front of her, and cautiously pushed towards the corpse, her eyes fixed on the lying corpse. Behind her, Lina and Vivien were left and right, keeping their eyes on the surroundings to prevent anyone else from popping up. In a strange and unusual place, any mistake in the details can have unbearable consequences, even if the area seems so peaceful and peaceful.

Catherine advanced to the corpse, but did not examine the corpse, it was Lina who moved, she slowly crouched down and reached out to examine the corpse in detail. And Catherine kept an eye on the corpse, in this undead area, even if it was really a corpse, it had to be prevented from breaking out and hurting people. Corresponding to Catherine, Vivien's gaze constantly wandered around, even if she was curious, she would never look at the corpse.

"Death does not exceed half an hour. Lina's white hands were stained with blood, but the color of the blood stains was dark and strange: "But the corpse is very strange, and from the state of the blood, it looks like it has been dead for a long time." ”

"Lift your guard. Pannis also came over: "Detective, there is no one else nearby except these two corpses." ”

"Whew. Catherine let out a sigh of relief, and with great trust removed her shield and approached the corpse. The corpse lay quietly in the grass, an elderly cat orc, a little thin, with a hideous expression on his face, the six whiskers at the corners of his mouth were still in an upturned posture, his eyes were wide open, almost bursting out of his sockets, and his eyes were full of disbelief and surprise. In the heart of the corpse, a fist-sized blood hole was still bleeding outward, and the pungent smell of blood masked the aroma of the surrounding grass.

"Awesome. The corners of Pannis's mouth trembled, and he sighed: "This was left with his hands, and his fingers penetrated the front chest from behind and directly destroyed the heart." The deceased was not prepared at all. Until he died, he didn't believe that anyone could sneak up on him like this. ”

"A very serious question. Lina said with a slightly heavy face: "He doesn't have a heart. ”

"What do you mean?" Catherine asked in surprise, "Isn't the heart supposed to have been destroyed by this attack?"

"No, there was no destruction. Lina shook her head and said, "It's that he doesn't have a heart at all, that's why his blood is so weird." Do you have any unpleasant memories of this phenomenon?"

"Servant of God. Catherine frowned and said, "That's what the ghouls of the Servant of God encountered in the sewers look like. ”

"Yes. Lina nodded, "Pennis." According to you, when the ghouls are resurrected, they replace the heart with something special, right?"

"It's also the first time I've seen a real ghoul in the sewers. Pannis explained, "But from what I've learned, it's true, that necromancers replace the hearts of the dead with soul crystals. to achieve the purpose of resurrecting ghouls. ”

"That's right. Lina snorted coldly: "It seems that we have met an old opponent, which is really surprising." ”

"Actually, it's not unthinkable. Catherine fiddled with the corpse: "After all, the Divine Servants are believers in the Grim Reaper, and it is normal for the place where the undead are rampant to have something to do with them. Now I'm worried about the strength of the other party, the ghouls and mages of the Divine Servants we have encountered are all legendary-level. ”

"Well, this one too. Pannis added: "And that. ”

"That's right, there's a corpse. The four ladies ran a few steps and came to the second body. The second corpse was an ordinary-looking middle-aged human, with his head cut off and left aside, still holding a long, curved knife in his hand.

"People of the Farrar Empire. Catherine judged, "This is the most favorite scimitar used by the knights of the western part of the Farrar Empire." Not. Or to be more precise, he should have been a member of the Farrar Empire during his lifetime, at least before he was resurrected. ”

"Is it also Legendary?" asked Lina.

"That's right, it's also Legendary. Pannis picked up the human head on the ground, held it in his hand and looked at it, and said, "And it's very strong." ”

"Whew. The ladies looked at each other silently, feeling that the situation was getting a little out of control.

"But we have a helper, too. Catherine suddenly asked, "At least the enemy of the enemy, and I am sure that the master of this thigh will approve of my idea." ”

"Are you sure they're hostile?" Lina asked, "And are you sure the battle between them isn't over yet?"

"The leg is clearly alive. Pannis pulled out the sword pinned to his thigh and picked it up. The leg is long and is cut off from the middle of the thigh. There is no clothing on the legs, and the fair skin is directly exposed to the air. Only on his feet is a pair of leather boots with soft soles and close fits. The long legs are slender and fit, without a trace of fat, and it can be seen from the leg shape alone that the figure of its owner may want to be tempting.

"No one has collected the corpses. The stump was not taken away. Catherine explained her judgment: "It shows that the two sides chased and left in a rather hurry. Moreover, there should be at least two people on the living side, so that one person can still have the strength to escape after breaking his leg, and if there is the assistance of these people, the enemy facing the Legendary rank will not necessarily fail. ”

"I'm afraid that the living side will be at a disadvantage. Lina said worriedly: "After all, one person has already broken his leg, and the remaining combat power doesn't know if he can fight against this group of ghouls, in case we find them before we find them." If the living have been wiped out, it is very dangerous. ”

"So what we have to do now is catch up right away. Catherine said, "Maybe it's too late." ”

"No, what must be done now is not to catch up. Pannis, waving the stump in his hand, said, "Now the thing to do is to rest in place immediately." ”

"Why?" the ladies asked, puzzled, "where is the time to rest when such a tight time comes?"

"How much magic do you have left?How long will you have to fight?" Pannis asked rhetorically, "Even if you catch up now, can you still fight?" So now everyone has to rest in place for an hour and then think about going to the rescue. ”

"But, in terms of time," Lina tried to retort, but was interrupted by a wave ......of his hand from Pannis: "Even if you go and find them, okay, now let you connect this leg to her, do you still have the magic to do it?"

Lina was silent and shook her head.

"Actually, you don't have to worry so much. Pannis stroked the stump in his hand: "Actually, I can probably guess who the owner of this leg is, with her ability, if she makes up her mind to run away or hide, it is absolutely fine to delay for an hour." ”

"Can you guess?" Catherine asked, looking at Pannis, puzzled, "with a stump?"

"Of course, don't underestimate my eyesight. Pannis said very proudly: "Hahahaha, my eyes have been baptized by the years, and they have been exercised quite keenly, and such beautiful legs, how can I forget them after seeing them? It's a pity, the thigh is cut from the middle, if it were a little higher, I would be more sure, hahahaha. ”

The girls glared at Pannis, and Catherine asked in a strange tone, "Dear Mr. Pannis, I have two questions that I would like you to answer for us. First, when you look at women, don't they all look at them like this, look at the legs, look at the thighs, and look at the higher the position, the better?"

"Ugh. Pannis suddenly felt the danger, and said with a dry smile: "No, no, no, of course not, hahahahaha, how could anyone do this, this time it is an exception, it is really an exception." ”

"Also, there's a second question. Catherine sneered and said, "Could you please explain what your hand is doing to a lady's limb right now?" I wish you were just checking, but your movements don't look like it by any means." ”

"Ahh Pannis quickly hid the hand that was caressing his toned legs, and looked at the sky and said, "It's just a little more careful, hahahaha." ”

"Well, forget it. Catherine rubbed her eyebrows with a headache and said, "Vivien, you go and freeze the stump, and when you find the other party, Lina will find a way to connect her legs." Also, what you said does make sense, Pannis, now hurry up, maybe you will fall into the enemy's trap, just according to what you said, let's rest for an hour, recover as soon as possible, do not ask to return to the heyday, but at least be able to cope with the most fierce battle, after all, the two hours of battle just now, the consumption of everyone is too great. ”

Catherine mentioned that the battle had just lasted for two hours, and everyone's faces were a little ugly, and it was obvious that the long and high-intensity, and seemingly never-ending fierce battle had left a deep shadow on everyone's hearts. In the face of the seemingly endless undead, in the face of the undead who are never tired and will not be timid or afraid of death, any tricky behavior is pale and powerless, and the only way is to fight head-on, tearing apart the blockade and attack of the undead with real strength.

"Sister, don't talk about it. Lina covered her face and said, "If it's possible, I really want to forget everything just now, the pressure is too great, I guess I'll be fighting the undead in my dreams for days on end." ”

"That's why the undead are terrible. Catherine also sighed: "When I heard the legends of heroes before, I never dreamed that the pressure of facing the undead would be so great, especially the last time I dreamed, when I dreamed that Lord Nelly launched a reverse charge in the face of the tide of hundreds of millions of undead, I only felt blood and heroism in my heart. But only now did I understand how terrible that feeling was beyond the blood and the ferocity. ”

"Well, did you dream of it?" Pannis, who was sitting on the side, raised his eyebrows, and asked seemingly casually, "What did you dream about?"

Catherine didn't answer, as if she was still immersed in the memories she had just had, or rather, everyone was stuck in the memories of the previous two hours. (To be continued.) )
