Chapter 25: Dia's Winter (3)
In a place where there is no sign of life, where to get food to wrap around the stomach has become a big problem. Gu Shiyu took Gabriel and Lucifer to search around for a long time, not to mention the hares, not even a single mouse. He had no choice but to come back empty-handed.
"I said it was impossible to find food here!" said Tanan, holding a dead grass in his mouth, looking at him leisurely.
Gu Shiyu scolded indignantly: "This damn Sandru! What's the good of him making the good world look like this ghost? Bones and zombies don't need food, but he should always have to eat, right?"
"Sandru would have been very touched to know that you cared so much about him. But he might say, don't worry, I'm not going to go hungry. York lay on the ground, rolling his eyes at Gu Shiyu.
It's been two days, and the undead legion in the castle has no sign of going out of the city to face the battle. The five of them sat around and stared at a package spread out on the ground.
Inside the package were three pieces of dough that were frozen as hard as stone.
Tanan sighed and put the package away. Gabriel and Lucifer watched his every move, their stomachs growling for them.
"I can't eat it yet, I have to leave it for the time of the fight. You won't have the strength to fight with someone on an empty stomach!"
"Just eat a small piece of it, Brother Tanan," said Gabriel pitifully.......
"When I was practicing in the desert of the Savage Lands, there were many people who traveled through the desert with me. We struggled with the scorching sun on our heads and the scorching yellow sand under our feet. Many people run out of water before they reach the halfway point, and eventually collapse like empty bags and die of dehydration. And I persevered until I finally walked out of the desert, with a small half of the water in my skin. Tanan looked at the dim sky overhead, his thoughts drifting away.
"This bit of food is our hope. When we see it, we think, oh my God, we still have food! Otherwise, we think, oh my God, we don't have food! Which situation is better, you say?" Gu Shiyu patiently explained to Gabriel and Lucifer, even though he himself was greedy.
"Of course, it's better to have hope in your heart!"
"Think about the good things you've eaten before so you feel better. Gu Shiyu lay down with his back to the sky.
"Listen to you Brother Guzi!" York closed his eyes, as if he was talking in a dream: "People have the least physical exertion when they sleep. ”
But how did the two teenagers sleep? They stared at the three adults who were pretending to be asleep in a daze, and from time to time they poked their heads to observe the situation in the castle.
Gu Shiyu was still thinking about looking for food in such a dark and cold place, but he fell asleep after thinking about it.
......
"Guzi, do you want a boy or a girl?" Catherine was sweating profusely, but she held Gu Shiyu's hand tightly.
"Of course I want a girl to ......" Gu Shiyu looked at her lovingly and said: "If you give birth to a girl, she will be like you, with blonde hair like a waterfall, big eyes brighter than the stars in the sky, and a soft and soft speech...... It's sure to be as beautiful and charming as you are!"
"I'm talking ...... It's loud...... That's not what you're talking about...... I hope he's a boy......" Catherine laughed, but the pain that followed made her bite her lip at once.
Gu Shiyu helped her wipe the sweat beads on her forehead distressedly...... He didn't dare to look behind Catherine's body, where several midwives were scrambling to help.
He'd seen a lot of blood. But when he saw that his beloved was bleeding, he couldn't help but tremble.
"Your Royal Highness, if you are in a terrible pain, call it out...... Women give birth to children like this, shouting, and ...... hard in the abdomen"
The Royal Physician stood in front of Catherine's bed, his hands gesturing nervously as if he were struggling to paddle.
"Can you not stand in front of me?" said Catherine, shuddering, "though I know you're doing this for my good, I feel like I'm going to die when I see you......"
The imperial doctor had no choice but to go to the back of the bed.
"It's coming, it's coming......" the midwives cried out with delight. With Catherine's heart-rending cry, the room began to reverberate with the cry of a baby.
"It's a boy! Congratulations, Your Highness the Princess!"
"Let me see ......," Catherine trembled her pale lips.
Is this my son? Gu Shiyu looked at the baby without blinking, muttering secretly in his heart.
This kid has wrinkled skin and looks a little ugly...... He had a handle underneath, which made Gu Shiyu a little disappointed.
Why can't you kid get out smoothly, do you have to torture your mother like this? Gu Shiyu wanted to slap him in the face.
Hey, why did this kid open his eyes?
Not only did he open his eyes, but he opened his mouth!
Not only did he open his mouth, but he began to speak!
"Are you my mother? Mom, I love you so much......"
Catherine nodded hastily with joy, reaching out to stroke his little pink finger.
"Are you my father?" the baby turned to Gu Shiyu and shouted.
"Yes, how dare you kid talk to your old man so loudly?" This kid has two completely different attitudes towards his parents, which makes Gu Shiyu a little angry.
The baby poked Gu Shiyu's forehead with his finger and shouted: "I poke you like this with a stick every day, do you hurt? Do you hurt? Say it yourself, how many times have you poked me when I was in my mother's belly?!"
Oops, why is this kid so energetic?!
"Guzi, Guzi!" Gu Shiyu woke up in pain, and immediately heard someone calling him.
Alas, it turned out to be a dream!
Gu Shiyu was shocked, and hurriedly rubbed his eyes with his hands.
The man who poked him was Tanan. Several of them were lying on the ground, looking happily at the castle at the foot of the mountain.
Tanan's fingers were as hard as iron rods. Gu Shiyu hurriedly dodged and said, "Don't poke it! You'll poke a hole in me!"
"Come and see! They're on the move!"
Gu Shiyu leaned over to take a look, really, the undead warriors in the castle were gathering a whole team!
"Khan ...... That's at least 50,000 people!"
"Yes, it seems that Sandru has the strength to defeat Duke Elares a long time ago!, but why didn't he fight earlier?" York asked in a low voice.
He was waiting for Abigail to forge the Ghost King's cloak and spell armor. In his mind, Duke Elares' men were nothing more than a herd of crops to be harvested!" Tanan replied.
"Crops, how can people become crops?"
"Yes, when he has these two things, he can easily defeat the army of Duke Elares, and transform all the human corpses on the battlefield into the terrifying Corpse Witch King!"
"Oh my God...... It's scary!" Gabriel exclaimed.
"Be quiet!" Lucifer said, looking at him disapprovingly.
The gates of the castle opened! The undead legions marched in full order! On the ground were skeletal warriors with blades in their hands, biting zombies with their hands stretched forward, corpse witch kings with bone rods and undead knights on ghost horses, a large area of black oppressed ghost warriors and vampire kings floating in the air, and dozens of ghost dragons flying higher up!
The heavy steps of the army of the undead trampled on the earth, and the earth trembled!
Running back and forth on both sides of the team are undead heroes. They commanded the troops forward with a loud voice, and their voices were clearly intelligible.
"When they're done, we can take another nap. Gu Shiyu yawned.
"Ready to fight, let's fill our stomachs first!" Tanan's words immediately shook everyone's spirits.
The dough is as hard as a stone, and it takes a good tooth to chew, and it makes people choke when they swallow.
"I only have three elven cloaks with me. Tanan looked at everyone and said, "I, Guzi, and York can use the invisible cloak to sneak into the castle." Gabriel and Lucifer, you two are out of the city!"
"How to respond?" The two teenagers couldn't get out of the fight, and they were a little disappointed.
"Didn't I tell you how to make traps, and you set up more traps over there, which will help us hold out our pursuers for a while. Gu Shiyu pointed to the road at the foot of the mountain.
“...... Alright!" the teenagers sighed.
The Elven Cloak is magical. When they put on their cloaks, the people were gone. However, if you look at the ground, you can still find the footprints they left behind.
Approaching the city gate, looking at those disgusting bones and rotting zombies, Gu Shiyu was inevitably a little nervous.
The subtle change in his heart immediately aroused the alarm of the undead warrior. They watched warily, a low growl in their throats.
"Watch your breath! you must restrain your thoughts, or they will be alert!" There was a faint voice in Tanan's ears, like a speck of dust falling to the ground, which only the earth could hear.
They entered the city without any problems, and the foolish undead guards looked around and sniffed around, and they couldn't find any of them.
The castle is just too big. How long would it take to search the houses one by one, but Tanan seemed to be familiar with the terrain, and he led the group straight to the dungeon on the side of the palace.
The dungeon is guarded not only by undead warriors, but also by several undead heroes. Some of the dungeon's doors were locked, but this was not a problem for Tanan, who could easily open them with a small wire.
"Tanan, you can really do it!" Gu Shiyu exclaimed sincerely: "You have to teach me this hand!"
"Hehe, this is what Abigail taught me, and he has a lot of great skills. I want him to teach you when I have time. ”
Stealth, lockpicking, isn't that what thieves are best at? It's exciting just to think about it.
"Why are these doors open?" a man said in a loud voice in the hallway, "Guard, follow me to see what's going on?"
"It's really irritating to see these foul-smelling dead corpses! I can't speak, I only know how to howl with long teeth and claws all day long!" the man cursed and shouted, "Isn't this kind of life done by a clever living person?"
"There aren't many people alive in this castle, and there are a few locked up here. Another voice said.
"No, these doors don't open on their own, someone must have broken in!" a voice shouted, "Guards!"
There was a jumble of footsteps in the hallway, and a large group of soldiers burst in.
"Do it!" Tanan shouted, and a large ball of fire flew straight towards the guards, then exploded! Stones and corpses flew with the smell of roasted meat.
Gu Shiyu saw Tanan's superb combat skills for the first time. An ordinary fireball has such a powerful power in his hands, which has to be admired by him.
"Tanan, you go to Abigail, we're here to take over!" Gu Shiyu shouted, without a pause in his hand.
"Good!" Tanan ran deeper into the passage, shouting as he ran, "Abigail!
"I'm here, Tanan, is that you?" a voice came from the end of the passageway, colliding in the narrow passageway.
The iron gate was knocked by Tanan's shoulder. Abigail stood in the cell, her shackles peeling off like clothes, and a woman shivering in the corner with two small children in her arms.
"I knew you were coming!" Abigail hugged Tanan tightly.
"Sandru asked you to make something, and you haven't made it for him, have you?"
"I've already made the curse armor for him! No way, he threatens me with my family's lives...... I'll try to delay the Ghost King's Cloak as much as I can, because the power of this thing is really terrifying!"
"Are these things here?"
"Sandru came here not long ago, and he's taken his things, including the unfinished Ghost King's cloak. Maybe he's going to use it for war!"
"Abigail, can you still fight?"
"They put a demonic curse on me in the food, and I don't have much magic right now. But I should be able to clean up a few of these stinking corpses!"
"Okay, you take your wife and children, and we'll fight and retreat!"
Gu Shiyu is in a hurry now! The passage is not very spacious, and with him and York guarding it, no one can take a step forward.
The passage around the corner outside the door is crowded with undead warriors, and I don't know how many there are!
They can't come in, but they can't get out when it's raining!
This situation seems terrible, why didn't everyone think about how to get out at that time?
"Millet, York, let's get out!" came Tanan's shout from the passage.
"How to withdraw? It seems that we can only fight!"
"How to withdraw? Retreat backwards, of course! Let's use the summoning technique together, summon the earth elemental to resist for us for a while!"
"Good!"
The chant of the incantation rang out, and a large mass of earth elementals emerged from the ground.
"Come with me!"
A group of people followed Tanan as they raced through the passage.
"Tanan, why are you so familiar with this place? Could it be that you have been here before?" Gu Shiyu asked as he ran, full of doubts.
"Yes......" Tanan said embarrassedly, "that was a few decades ago, when I first went out to practice. There's a secret door in front of it that is specially used to throw dead bodies outside the dungeon, so it should still be there!"
Tanan slammed into the rusty secret door. He used so much strength that he was afraid that even a wall would be knocked down by him!
Beneath the secret door is a dark river. I don't know how deep it is, but how smelly it is.
"Is this your escape route?" Abigail shook his head.
"Yes, if you swim all the way down the current, you will reach the moat. ”
"Your escape plan is a bit terrible! I want to take a shower now, but I don't want to soak in it. This is the path that only rats walk!"
"I'm sorry, but that's all I can think of right now! If you don't jump, you'll have to stay here!"
"Alas, it stinks worse than a pit!" Abigail hugged his son Raphael and jumped into the dark river.
Gu Shiyu took the little girl from Mrs. Abigail's hand. As soon as he saw her big eyes, Gu Shiyu immediately liked her.
"What's your name?"
"Uncle, my name is Elmadi!" the little girl hugged Gu Shiyu's neck and said in a whisper.
"Elmadi, are you afraid?"
"With my uncle, I'm not afraid of ...... at all" Listening to the powerful beating in Gu Shiyu's chest, the little girl's head shook like a rattle.
"That's good!"
only heard a plop, and Gu Shiyu also jumped into the dark river......
