Chapter 22: The Witch & the Demon

"Zombies?" Caroline asked, like a curious girl, "is it the kind of Chinese legend that has braids and yellow paper on its face?"

"It's not. The boss shook his head, "Listening to the description of those tourists, according to your foreigners, it should be uh, zombies, no, it should be 'Zombie', yes, that's it." They say that the zombies crawled out of the woods and through the snow, looking shabby and thin, and that they would attack the living at sight, but they were slow to move, but they were not small, and they could knock people out with a single claw, and they could vomit blood with a single fist - and the tourists were killed and almost all of them were injured before they ran back, which provoked the police, and even the armed police. ”

"What about the end?" Feng Longde looked like he was listening to the excitement.

The boss pouted: "What can the police solve, in the end, in addition to pacifying those tourists, they will arrange permanent personnel here, saying that what is the result of ensuring everyone's safety before the matter is investigated? ”

Feng Longde asked curiously, "Then why are you still staying here, not afraid of 'those things' going down the mountain?"

"I don't believe that. The boss shook his head, "This place is cold and snowy, and there are zombies that have to be frozen into ice mounds, and besides, it has been safe and sound for the past few days, who knows if it was actually a group of wild monkeys who attacked those tourists, so I should open a store or open a store I'm sorry I said too much, and the kitchen called me." ”

After the boss came over and left the rest of the meal, Feng Longde and Caroline took chopsticks and began to eat - during this time, Caroline was finally able to eat with chopsticks quite formally, and she still firmly believes that this is a prop to exercise the strength of her soul through the act of eating

"Caroline, if that's true, what do you think those things are?" Feng Longde asked as he shoved a large piece of rib into his mouth as he put it in the Soul Connection, "You should have a good idea of the classification of the undead. ”

"The body is dry, it attacks when it sees a living person, and it is extremely powerful," the soul contact Caroline said after thinking about it, "it should be a corpse witch, which is commonly known as a zombie, but we can find out what level it is." ”

"Is it easy to deal with?"

"If you're an adult with a calm mind and some fighting foundation, it's not hard to deal with the Witches - their stiff bodies are too slow, and with a little caution, you can easily dodge their attacks. However, some of the more powerful corpse witches will have their own natural abilities, which are very difficult to deal with, and I will take action when necessary. Their weakness is the soul fire located in their heads, and it only takes a powerful blow from a heavy object to be crushed, and those corpse witches will die completely, otherwise even if their heads are cut off, they will want to open their mouths to bite you. ”

"In other words, do they attack high, have low blood and low speed, etc., what do you mean by 'I'll shoot when necessary???Does it mean that I will deal with all the enemies when the time comes??" Feng Longde almost choked on the fish bones.

"Is there a problem?" Caroline glanced at Feng Longde, "Do you think I'm playing tricks on you these days to train combat skills or something?" It just so happens that this is your actual combat experience, and letting you get in touch with combat as soon as possible is also good for recovering your memory and ability." You think this operation is me opening the way in front, and you just need to follow?"

Feng Longde was speechless—because that's what he thought

"It's one thing for you to experience real combat, the bigger reason is that it's not what it used to be. While transmitting a message in the Soul Connection, Caroline ate unhurriedly, "I used to be able to cast magic while fighting an enemy at any time and in any place, but now?" I can't cast fire and lightning magic in the woods, the slightest mistake will cause a forest fire, the use of water and earth magic will cause avalanches and landslides, the use of wind magic to make it big will also make people see from a distance, the only thing that can be used covertly is dark magic, so you have to fight, and I have a lot of restrictions, unless you want to attract the Chinese Academy of Sciences. ”

Feng Longde: "It seems that the novel is very unreliable: in reality, you can't use magic indiscriminately when fighting monsters and upgrading in the forest, otherwise it is easy to set the forest on fire or come out of the whole landslide, and you can only honestly use cold weapons to fight."

After lunch, the two went out for a few more walks to learn more about the situation, but found that something was wrong: the number of police in the Arctic village seemed to be increasing, and they would warn tourists not to go to the attractions in the woods, and no matter how much they tried to find out from the locals, they couldn't find anything now.

The two cautiously stopped asking, returned to their rooms and began to prepare for action: Feng Longde's equipment was a German-style field uniform with a mountaineering suit and a folding sapper shovel, and Caroline was a black trench coat, a black leather jacket, a black sweatshirt, and a black pleated skirt, and when necessary, she would use magic or use the breath of death to gather weapons into weapons.

In terms of luggage, let's put it this way: Feng Longde and Caroline basically prepared according to Bei Ye's wilderness survival mode, tents, sleeping bags, instant dry food, drinking water, magnesium fire sticks, etc., so that they could spend a few days in the wilderness and rest safely.

After getting ready, the two set off, and found that sure enough, the road to Qixing Mountain was blocked by the police and armed police - but although Caroline was very scruples about using various types of magic, she had no scruples about spiritual magic, and directly a group of soul impacts made everyone's heads dizzy for a while.

Originally, Feng Longde still had some questions: since she could use spiritual magic, why didn't Caroline just kill all the enemies at that time? Even if it is me, the use of soul power can only stimulate some mental states, it is impossible to directly control the other party, at most make the other party a fool, the stronger my own will and the stronger the soul, the greater the resistance to spiritual magic and soul impact, and these methods are ineffective for ordinary undead creatures who have no self-consciousness and sanity, and if there is not much wisdom and dullness like a fool, mental states such as chaos and rage are ineffective for them. ”

Feng Longde: "It seems that the facts have once again proved that the theory of spiritual magic against heaven in the novel is nonsense, at least it is equivalent to nothing for fools and nerds

The forests of the Northeast are not only covered with snow all year round, but are also so tight that there are almost no paths, and all that can be seen are bushes and weeds. Feng Longde walked in front and used a paratrooper shovel to chop through obstacles to clear the way, Caroline used her soul to scan the surroundings, and at the same time also held a battle axe gathered by the aura of death to assist Feng Longde to clear the way, and the two slowly approached the area of Seven Star Mountain in the forest.

One afternoon later, seeing the sky darken at a visible rate, Caroline found a relatively spacious clearing in the woods, cast a fire magic of hell in the clearing to burn all the weeds and bushes, and then carefully drained the fire elemental in the area where the flames were still burning, and a flat clearing came out.

"You won't attract the attention of the outside of the forest by doing this, will you?" After propping up the tent, Feng Longde asked as he lit the campfire with a fire stick, "Didn't you say that there are many restrictions on the use of magic in the wild?" ”

"The canopy of the trees here is so high that you can't see it from a distance, even if there's a fire. Caroline sat by the bonfire that Feng Longde had just burned, and used the light of the fire to straighten her long hair that had been pressed by the hood for a long time, and the long silver hair shone like the moon, "We walked to the foot of the Seven Star Mountain all afternoon, and it turned out that not to mention the corpse witch, even wild animals are rare. My purpose in casting magic to clear the clearing is also to draw attention to the surroundings and see what can be eliminated. ”

Hearing Caroline's words, Feng Longde's whole person was not good: the specific manifestation was that he had to hold a paratrooper shovel with one free hand when he was gnawing on cans, and his eyes kept rolling without stopping

Caroline, the culprit, was not nervous, sitting by the campfire, hugging her knees and closing her eyes. Although Caroline's appearance is very cute and kawaii at this moment, Feng Longde, a security supremacist, has no time to appreciate this beautiful scenery

I don't know if it was because of Caroline's magic, or if the light of the campfire was out of harmony with the surroundings, but after about twenty minutes of encampment, the low roar from far to near began to appear and gradually became clearer and clearer.

The two of them blinked their eyes in unison and quickly stood up, Feng Longde clenched the paratrooper shovel with both hands, facing the direction from which the low roar came. Caroline was more laid-back, just standing with her hands down.

After a while, a thin figure appeared from behind a large tree, and the light of the fire illuminated his entire body.

As soon as he saw the dignity of the figure, Feng Longde subconsciously blinked his eyes a few times: this person's face had dried up to the point that there was only a thin layer of skin clinging to the bones, and there were no eyeballs in the eye sockets, replaced by a pair of flickering blood-red light;

Seeing such a benevolent brother who was like a mummy and a zombie, Feng Longde subconsciously raised his paratrooper shovel and made a two-handed sword swordsmanship.

"Phloem Corpse Witch, either it's a short time to reincarnate, or there's no soul energy nearby to make it grow. Caroline didn't look surprised at all, but just said the information of the 'person' in front of her word by word, "The soul is still in the state of soul fire, it has no self-awareness and intelligence, it moves slowly, and it is useless except that it is stronger than a normal human." Feng Longde, I'll leave this to you. ”

Damn it was the first time he faced a 'living' undead, Feng Longde swallowed and quietly waited for the Phlost Witch's next move.

The Phloem Witch twitched its nose, which had only two holes left, and after 'smelling' that the two humanoids in front of it were alive, she rushed over with her claws.

Feng Longde instinctively turned the paratrooper shovel sideways to his chest, and the bast corpse witch's claws were placed on the paratrooper shovel, pulling and pulling wildly to keep close. While the Bast Corpse Witch was stiff, Feng Longde raised his foot and kicked over and let go of the paratrooper shovel, and the Bast Corpse Witch grabbed the paratrooper shovel and was kicked to the ground. When the Phlom tried to get up, a big foot in a jungle boot stepped on one of its hands holding a paratrooper shovel, and then the other big foot slashed directly into the head of the Phlom Dead.

Looking at the phloem-skinned corpse's trampled head and torso that no longer moved, Feng Longde gasped and picked up the paratrooper shovel and looked up at Caroline.

"Well done. Caroline nodded slightly, "The timing is right, but if you're dealing with multiple enemies, I wouldn't recommend this approach: you'll probably have to face the next enemy before you have time to pick up your weapon." ”

"Probably, I'll pay attention next time. Feng Longde shrugged his shoulders, and then pointed behind Caroline with a finger: "It looks like you can't continue to watch the excitement." ”

Low roars began one after another, and thin figures appeared from all around, and a pair of blood-red lights spread like fireflies in the gaps in the trees.

Caroline didn't move, a black barrier appeared on her body, Feng Longde took a long wooden stick from the firewood and put it into the campfire and lit it into a torch, the torch in his left hand and the spade in his right hand were double-wielding and Caroline was back to back. Caroline turned her head and gestured to Von Longde, who gave her a puzzled look.

"That's really the case," the soul sent a message to Caroline, "magic doesn't work on you"

"What are you talking about?" Feng Longde was a little confused for a moment, and the tension of being surrounded made him unable to figure out what Caroline said.

"It's okay, it seems that you still have the ability to be immune to magic, don't talk nonsense, they're coming!"

The corpse witches rushed forward, their withered claws grabbing at Von Rond and Caroline. Feng Longde waved the torch with one hand to force the corpse witches in front of him to take a few steps back, and then the paratrooper shovel in his right hand smashed a semicircle on the head of a corpse witch, and suddenly the head of the corpse witch became two halves, and the whole body collapsed to the ground after the soul fire in it was extinguished; Caroline had been standing quietly, the claws of the corpse witches grasping at the black barrier beside her, but they couldn't break this faint film.

The dark magic: The embrace of the deceased surrounds the caster with a rich dark element, protecting the caster's safety.

Protective magic was blessed, and Caroline had no intention of making a move—it was clear that this battle was in some sense a one-man battle for Feng Longde
