Chapter 176: Threat
In order to prevent being discovered by those necromancers, An Fei and the others always waited for a while, observing the movements in the vicinity, and only after confirming that there was no danger did they quickly follow, and then stopped in place and waited. γReading.comγ
The further they went, the more frightening An Fei and the others became, because the number of zombies was increasing, and at first they only encountered a few zombies one after another, and then the zombies they encountered could already be described as a team. Some demon rats and wild dogs who like to eat carrion do not know the height of the sky and want to feast, but unfortunately they can't eat a few bites, their bodies become stiff, and they also turn into necromantic creatures, and follow the zombies blankly. Not to be outdone, carnivorous ants crawled out of the burrow, but their tiny bodies were obviously unable to withstand the erosion of necromantic energy, and in a matter of moments, they became hard and fell like raindrops.
As time passed, the zombies' movements became faster and faster, and when the sun set, the zombies seemed to sense that their protector had regained control of the world, and let out a neat roar, and An Fei and the others who were following behind suddenly stopped, judging from the voices they heard, the number of zombies was not dozens, but hundreds, not to mention others, even Susanna, who had always had a strong self-confidence, changed color.
It's not terrible to turn into zombies from ordinary people, but judging from the outfits of those zombies, they are all mercenaries, and swordsmen with vindictive spirit will retain a large part of their combat power when they become zombies, and even automatically become combat zombies, combat zombies are much more terrifying than ordinary zombies, combat zombies have fast speed, strong lethality, iron-solid muscles, and terrifying magical defense.
This is not the most terrifying, if there are already hundreds of zombies, the necromancer purposefully makes the zombies kill each other and devour each other, and finally it is likely to give birth to a killing zombie, which is a terrible creature that can only be born when the great swordsman is killed by the necromancer! His strength can be compared to the dark knight who was eroded by the golden knight by the necromantic aura.
If there is really a killing zombie, to put it mildly, as long as they let the zombies find out, there is no possibility of escape!
"Anfei, do you want to keep following?" Black Eleven whispered, "Zombies have a strong sense of ability in the dark, and we will be discovered by zombies if we are not careful." β
"I'm not afraid of these zombies, I'm afraid that the necromancers want to create a killing zombie!" Reskar took a long breath, "Then we're finished!"
"Kill zombies?" An Fei asked puzzledly, he didn't know much about the level of zombies, although he had been in the evil spirit abyss for a while, but the creatures in the evil spirit abyss all existed in the spirit state, they disdained all the materialized lives in other planes, thinking that they were the life that had evolved to the top level, and they were second only to the supreme existence of gods, so they didn't bother to analyze the information of other life, so An Fei knew very little about zombies.
"Under normal circumstances, necromancers don't find a way to create and kill zombies, they can't control such a terrible monster, maybe they will be the first to be killed. Suzanne whispered.
"Can you explain why the necromancer drove the zombies to the same place?" Ryska said unconvinced.
"Maybe those necromancers are going to do something, right?"
"It's a bit counterintuitive. Black Eleven shook his head and said, "Although the mercenary country is not protected by the Church of Light......"
"Wait a minute, are all the nations protected by the Church of Light?" An Fei interrupted Black Eleven.
"That's pretty much it. Suzanne said.
"I haven't heard of any light sacrifices in the Holy City?"
"Huh...... That's a long way to say. Black Eleven smiled, and then pondered for a moment: "The Church of Light was originally founded to resist the dark creatures of all kinds, and was supported by all countries when it was founded, but then the Church of Light became more and more tyrannical, not only requiring people from various countries to believe in the God of Light, but also constantly interfering in the affairs of the country, and even the selection of an heir and other major matters have to be pointed at, which caused the resentment of the kings, and they united against the church, and finally the church had to back down and promised not to interfere in the political affairs of other countries. β
"I see, what's going on with the mercenary country?"
"The mercenaries of the mercenary country are very fond of freedom, and they are unwilling to be interfered with in any way, so when the country was founded, several super mercenary groups refused to establish churches in the mercenary country, which made the priests very angry, and at that time, there was a red-clothed high priest who also said that he would never protect the mercenary country, even if there were countless dark creatures raging in the land of the mercenary country. β
In fact, the cardinal high priest only said something angry in private, and he was later severely reprimanded by the pope. Risecard said.
"I know, so I say it's a bit counterintuitive. Black Eleven added: "As soon as the news spreads, the mercenaries will immediately blockade the Hengduan Valley, and then ask the church for help, and in less than five days, the priests and priests of various countries will flock to it, no matter what those necromancers want to do, unless they can gain the strength to compete with the church in just a few days." β
"Not to mention creating a single zombie to kill, even if they can create several, they won't be able to fight the church. Light magic is so devastating to zombies that even a small light spell can turn dozens, if not hundreds, of zombies into charcoal. Suzanne said.
"The effect on the injured is not very obvious, but it is deadly when used on zombies! Risecard said.
"There's no use talking about this, those necromancers must have intentions anyway, the key is what we're going to do! Anfei, are we going to keep up?" Black Eleven whispered.
An Fei groaned and followed to see what was going on? Or did he go back and find a way to pass the news on to the other mercenaries? By nature, An Fei was a person who could completely control his curiosity, because he knew that curiosity could kill a cat! When he used to watch movies, he always laughed at the naivety of the plot, knowing that there was danger inside, but he still wanted to check what was going on?
But now An Fei feels the difficulty of the choice, the zombies do not pose much threat to them, and they can escape immediately if they find that the situation is not right, but if the zombies control the entire Hengduan Valley, then the harm will be great! Chris who stayed in the tunnel has a way to resist the attack of the Shanshadi ** team in a short period of time, but he is powerless against the zombies! There is no sunlight at all, they have lost their biggest protective umbrella, and the zombies are difficult to kill, and the darkness does not pose any obstacle to the zombies.
"If the zombies discovered the tunnels in Moramachi, how many zombies would Chris be able to stop?" An Fei asked slowly.
"It's hard to say, if it's a battle zombie, more than a dozen can make Chris helpless. β
"That's the only way to go!Black Eleven, only your status can be valued by others in the country of mercenaries, you return to White Mountain City, spread the news of the zombies' appearance, and Suzanne and Ryska and I continue to follow the zombies to see what those necromancers are going to do. An Fei glanced around: "Do you have any opinions?"
"Anfei, it's dangerous for you to do this!" Black Eleven gave a solemn look.
"No matter what you do, it's more or less dangerous. An Fei smiled: "Let's think about yourself, how can you gain the trust of others!"
"It's very simple, I just collect some rigid ants, show them back, and they'll believe it. Black Eleven smiled bitterly: "An Fei, do you really want to follow?"
"If we just leave, I'll never forgive myself if something happens to Chris. An Fei said lightly. He was telling the truth, without a hint of hypocrisy, because he knew that if he changed his perspective and let Chris stand here, Chris would make the same choice as him!
"That'...... All right. Black Eleven said helplessly.
"Susanna, what is your opinion?" An Fei looked at Susanna.
"I'll go wherever you go. β
"Riska?"
"Captain, I have always obeyed your orders unconditionally. Ryska laughed.
An Fei couldn't help but sigh softly, he is becoming less and less like his former self, and the reason for this may be because of the unconditional trust of his companions!
Once, he brought everyone with him for Saul, but now, in addition to the morality that cannot be escaped, there is also a feeling, and in many cases, feelings are very heavy things! And for a person with a bottom line in his heart, no matter what profession he is engaged in, he cannot turn a blind eye to these.
"Black Eleven, how long will it take you to get back to White Mountain City?"
Black Eleven looked up to make out the direction: "It's about seventy miles back from here back to Moramachi Town, and sixty miles east from Moramachi Town there is one of our contact points, I can find the fast horse, and then...... In three days, I can rush back to Baishan City. β
"When you arrive in Moramachi, you must tell Chris the news of the emergence of a large group of zombies, so that he can prepare in advance!"
"I know that, Anfei, you must be careful!" Black Eleven admonished.
"Don't be verbose. An Fei smiled and said, "You go immediately, Susanna, let's move on!"
