(255) The Return of the Abyss (Part II)
(255) The Return of the Abyss (Part II)
Everyone is facing west, and you can see the sunset like the needle point of the clock, which is counting down for everyone, red as blood, sprinkled on the long Wolong Mountain not far away, and also sprinkled on the black soil that everyone is going to step on.
I don't know when the darkness has shrouded behind me, there is a feeling that there is no turning back, and some kind of rotten stench wafts in the air under the gradually diffuse dead air, which makes people sick and disgusting.
I remember the first time they stepped here, they were still talking and laughing, and they didn't take the little undead seriously, but now, no one spoke, and the footsteps of the group of five were much heavier.
"Does the method the village chief said really work?" Feng Ling said with some uneasiness.
Zheng Chun, the village chief, told everyone that the undead do not rely on vision to track living creatures, and many undead even have rotten heads and eyes, but they can smell the location of living creatures......
The vision of the undead is very poor, especially the undead of low rank, but the living creatures walk by, and the undead within a radius of hundreds of meters seem to gather here, in fact, because they hold the breath of human beings.
Where the undead haunt, there must be dead air, and the breath they exhale is also dead air.
The breath exhaled by living creatures is angry, and scientifically speaking, most of it is carbon dioxide.
The undead have poor vision and average hearing, but they can sense the vitality wafting from a radius of hundreds of meters when they swallow the dead air, and the breath exhaled by the living creatures is simply a fragrance that can be eaten to them, and they can smell it from a long distance......
The undead are always hungry, and living creatures have to breathe after all, so it is easy for the nearby undead to "smell the fragrance and leave".
The only way to avoid the undead is to solve the problem of breathing
Battle-level undead are mostly dull, and as long as the breath exhaled by a person is covered up or slightly treated, it is difficult to detect.
Soul-level undead have a relatively sensitive sense of smell and hearing, and their vision is average, and if a soul-level undead haunts, they must not only deal with breath, but also maintain absolute silence.
"This thing looks like garlic, I don't know how bad it is!" Feng Ling complained.
"It's getting dark, so each person eats one first. Xiao Yunting said.
Everyone followed what the captain said, and quickly took out a crop from the shoulder bag that looked very close to garlic, but was covered in black.
This thing is called Gray Garlic, and it is one of the few plants that can grow in the soil of the undead.
This plant is several times more unpalatable than garlic, and after eating, the smell of the spray is even more foul, but the locals will carry a few with them to prevent accidents......
After eating this kind of gray garlic, the breath exhaled by the person will stink, which can hide the anger, so that the undead will mistakenly think that they are the same kind of people who have not washed until dark, so the undead will not chase after them.
In ancient times, it was said that garlic could ward off evil spirits, and it is estimated that this is also the reason, that is, ghosts don't want to approach you when they smell it......
As soon as it was dark, everyone ate one separately, and suddenly there was a sound of retching.
"Grass, it's worse than!"
"It's like you've eaten. ”
"It's really unpalatable...... Let me vomit for a moment. ”
Everyone is a soldier, and they eat almost everything when they survive in the wild, but everyone wants to vomit when they eat this gray garlic, which shows how unpalatable this thing is.
"Endure it, if you don't want to die......"
"Captain, don't talk to me. ”
"Shhhh
Everyone's faces were ugly, but they all held their breath all of a sudden.
There was an eerie loosening of the soil, as if a person buried in a grave was about to crawl out, and the sound of knocking on the coffin was clearly visible.
Everyone looked at each other, their eyes fixed on their feet.
Suddenly, a head full of worms came out of the dirt!!
The hair is dry, half of the scalp is left, and the skull is shiny, and people feel furious when they see it.
This head was next to Meng Han, her whole face was as pale as paper, and she almost subconsciously wanted to seal the disgusting head to pieces, but Wan Qing on the side held her down violently and didn't let her make any moves.
Wanqing's approach was very sensible, because after this head appeared, several half-skull heads popped up one after another.
In just a few minutes, more and more rotting corpses and skeletons crawled out of the dirt, bathed in darkness, breathing death, and if their eyes were more attentive, they would be a bunch of things that came out alive and breathable!
The five of them had been completely transformed into sculptures, and their hearts were beating violently, almost jumping out.
Two skeletons came out of Mu Yan's location, which happened to be in front of and behind Feng Ling......
Up close, you can see the stabbed bone hole in the back of the skull's smooth head, which is obviously a piercing hole in the back of the head.
He didn't dare to move, and his breathing stopped.
However, how can a person not breathe, even if he can hold his breath for a minute, if he holds it again, he will suffocate to death.
Finally, Mu Yan held his breath to the limit, and he tried to exhale from his nose little by little......
"Click??"
With a breath, the skeleton in front of it turned its head violently, its eyes that emitted a crimson light stared directly at Mu Yan, and a rusty large gate knife tightly held on its arm actually showed signs of lifting.
Mu Yan's heart is hanging!!
These two skeletons are not terrifying, he can send them to the sky with a single spell......
The problem is that there are at least a hundred undead in this land, and it can be said that as long as he makes a move, those undead will fluctuate with the abnormal energy, and surround him here!!
Mu Yan didn't dare to move, but he really held his breath to the limit, he didn't know if this gray garlic really worked, not to mention that in this case, few people could stay calm, surrounded by undead, all dead things that would gnaw the living into bones!!
Mu Yan's face turned pale.
He eventually exhaled a breath, and if he didn't breathe, he would faint immediately.
The skeleton in front of it turned around suddenly, and it looked at Mu Yan with a blank expression, completely unaware of when a member of the same kind appeared behind it.
The rusty sluice knife in the skeleton's hand was still put down, which showed that the gray garlic given to them by the village chief was effective!
"What, if I knew it was so easy to avoid the undead, I wouldn't have to be so careful!" Feng Ling was visibly proud.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, whether it was skeletons or rotting corpses, they didn't attack them, at most they had a puzzled expression on the humans who were spitting strange gases, but they were all a group of undead who didn't know how to think, not living creatures, so there was no need to attack, maybe it was stinky mud?
Xiao Yunting raised his hand, did not speak, and gestured to everyone to keep the formation and move forward.
The crowd quickly regrouped, and at first they were more vigilant, fearing that something would come out of the basket, but they walked close to the undead, and the undead screamed at most to warn their companions, but did not pounce, so everyone gradually relaxed.
"Gray garlic is a relatively rare plant, and it is estimated that it is also sold in the black market, and the village chief gave us all the gray garlic hoarded in the village. Wanqing said.
"Anyway, it's best not to fight the undead, we can find the survey team as soon as possible, and then we can go back to the mission. Xiao Yunting said.
"I'm afraid I'll only be able to find the body......"
"When we speak, it doesn't seem to disturb them. ”
Everyone found that it was okay to speak, and as long as everyone's breath was masked by the smell of garlic, the undead would not notice them.
It's just that the more you move forward, the more frightened everyone becomes, and on the ground shrouded in a black curtain, you can see the new undead in almost no step......
The density of the undead far exceeded their budget, and they could only see three or two undead within a hundred meters at first, and as they continued to walk, they could even see piles of undead.
If you look at it with the indication of the electronic map, I am afraid that the whole map is blood-red.
The carrion was as dense as a human wall, and the procession crossed through the crowd of corpses.
They just stood there, dragging their bodies slowly, and let out disgusting screams. When no living creature activates their blood, they simply wander aimlessly, like the walking dead.
The moonlight was cold, hanging at the highest point to witness death wriggling.
The earth is cold and restless, and every now and then an oversleeping creature breaks through the ground and looks like a homeless scavenger.
When there is no living thing to eat, the undead will pick up things on the ground, or dig up things in the soil, and some stumps and broken remains can always be used by them......
"Boom ~~~~~~!!!"
Suddenly, the ground in front of him suddenly rolled up with muddy waves, and the black mud tumbling in the night sky was particularly terrifying under the moonlight.
There were also some dead human bones in the muddy waves, shabby clothes, and the spirits of the fish in the pond, and there was chaos.
The sound shook the land, and soon an undead as strong as an ox was seen crawling up......
The undead crawled out first, covered in thoroughly hardened corpse muscles, as hard to pierce as armor.
Its limbs are so thick that I don't know what they are grafted with, and it has four arms, two of which have been fleshed into blood-stained axes, and the other two arms are like long sabers, which are like stirring machines if they are wielded!!
"It's the Evil Axe Warlord!" Feng Ling said in shock.
"Is it following us all the way??"
"Or maybe we've always been on its turf!"
"Don't be afraid, we ate gray garlic, he can't find us, keep quiet!"
The Evil Axe Warlord stood still, and the sound came from something coming out of the flesh.
The corpse slowly burrowed out of the empty neck, a disproportionate head......
The first thing that catches your eye is the black silk sticking to the blood, which looks very disgusting, scattered around the neck of the corpse general.
This was followed by a head, the shape of which was not much different from that of a human.
At last......
This head turned one hundred and eighty degrees, and suddenly revealed a face with a cloak of hair, full of blood, full of slurry, and full of poisonous resentment and gloomy!!
