Chapter 114: Eat them all
Ronald walked forward with his sword, and he was full of evil energy, and even the air around him seemed to be contaminated with the breath of his body, and there was a feeling of depression. He didn't know why he felt this anger www.biquge.info but it was definitely not pity for Mata......
It's just an enemy he met for the first time, a defeated man, and Ronald hasn't been sentimental enough to feel that he has taken an enemy as a confidant because of this. But he just felt an unspoken anger, an annoyance.
Ronald is now very glad that he has obtained the Great Bandit System, not some Great Noble System, or the Great Knight System, otherwise wouldn't he be suffocated to death? A Silver-level knight would have to obey a Bronze-level order!
"All the nobles, just stay there and wait to be robbed!" Ronald whispered to himself.
Just as Ronald was about to rush towards the third floor, he didn't know that the news of his break-in had spread in the hands of the Prescott family. A strange silver-level suddenly burst in, and without any hindrance, he made his way to the third layer......
You must know that even if the Prescott family relied on the leadership of a gold-level magister, it took a long time to advance to the fourth layer.
But Ronald is familiar with his own back garden, which already shows that things are unusual.
How did he know about this place?
And how did he avoid the people outside and get in directly?
Why did he know so much about what's going on inside?
The Prescott family has been planning for this matter for a long time, and even hoarded a large number of family manpower here, and even the family territory of Marz Greyburg has been transferred to the point of empty manpower.
But everything didn't go well...... First of all, the news leaked out of nowhere, and the killers of the Shadow Guild actually sent the elite over as well, first harassing them on the periphery, and then simply finding an opportunity to assassinate the elite of the Prescott family, clearly showing the rhythm of tearing face.
The poor Prescott family secretly confronted the Shadow Guild with Mai Mang, and there was a lot of harmony on the surface to prevent the news of the laboratory from spreading further.
Originally, it finally gradually entered the stability, and after the Prescott family transferred a large number of people, they finally suppressed the group of killers in the Shadow Guild, but they didn't expect that at this time, a guy who didn't know out of nowhere would know more about the situation inside the laboratory than they did, which made them not angry.
Sacrificed so much time, manpower, energy, and money...... They Prescott don't want to do something for anyone else.
If it were a few days in advance, the Prescott family would definitely dispatch a group of men to strangle Ronald in the shortest possible time, after all, it was only a silver level, and it had not yet reached the point where the Prescott family could be helpless.
However, just a few days ago, the third layer, which had been controlled by them, suddenly had an unexpected problem. And the people of the Shadow Guild also seemed to be aware of the situation, and began to mobilize the killers from the outermost to reduce the elite of the Prescott family.
There was no way, so I had to temporarily transfer a group of masters out to prevent the Shadow Guild from jumping off the wall, while the remaining masters were concentrated in the third layer to deal with unexpected situations.
Captain Mata is already the only master who can be sent out to guard the entrance to the second floor!
..................
The third level is like a dark, claustrophobic cavern, surrounded by walls filled with lit torches, and countless vines extending from the ceiling overhead, the walls on either side, and even the ground beneath your feet.
About two hundred or so elite members of the Prescott family formed an array, led by a dozen bronze and three silver-level, like an impregnable wall, they were fully armoured, armed with long swords, and many even held broad metal shields, like a strictly trained army.
But now, the momentum of this elite aristocratic private army has been decadent to the extreme, as if a splash of a spark is enough to completely crush them.
The three silver levels standing in front of the array also had dejected and desperate faces, and the dozen or so bronze ranks behind them were also sad and frightened, these people were already the core existence of the Prescott family, but even their spirit was the same, not to mention the people behind them.
"Retreat, it's too late if you don't!" a bronze growled in despair.
"Please, Warrior Harun...... Retreat!" The other bronze pleaded in a pleading tone, looking at a burly silver warrior, weak as a child.
"If you don't withdraw, will all the family's strength die here?"
"Bilsa is dead...... You can't let him die in vain!"
The three silver-level people at the front had ugly faces, their minds were the same as everyone else's, but their different identities made it impossible for them to easily act according to their own ideas.
Silver level, even in the Prescott family, it is a high-level worship, to be able to have such strength, the status in the family is very high, whether it is money or others, the family has never been short of them.
But these things are not given away for free, and when the family needs them, they must act according to the family's will, as is the case now......
Their mission is to stay here and solve the problems that erupt from the third layer, but can they solve this kind of problem?
Taking a deep breath, Harlan stared straight ahead, and slowly spoke: "Stand in the array, defend for the last time, and evacuate immediately after failure!" Harlan gave the order, he couldn't refuse the family's order, but he couldn't let the subordinates who followed him die in vain.
This is no longer a difficulty that can be solved by the Silver level!
On the other side, a corpse covered in blood crawled up from the ground, looking sluggish, staggering, and filled with an uncomfortable and disgusting dead air. The surface of these corpses has even begun to decay rapidly in many places, revealing the flesh beneath the skin.
I saw that most of these corpses were wearing the same type of armor, and the armor was all the style of the Prescott family's private soldiers...... That's right, these corpses were all private soldiers of the family who died before.
“...... Food...... Eat them all......"
"I'm hungry...... I'm so hungry......"
“...... Die...... Eat them all......"
“...... Food...... I'm so hungry...... Eat them all......"
These corpses muttered to themselves as if they were alive, but their eyes, skin color, the way they walked, and even the smell of corpses on their bodies clearly indicated that they were already a group of dead people!
But how can a dead man speak, and how can a dead man get up from the ground and continue fighting?
Harun's expression was solemn, and there was a faint panic in his pair of turquoise pupils, but he hid it well.
"Line up the array, don't go back!One last attempt...... Evacuate this level as soon as you fail, and wait for the Magister to solve the problem here!" Harlan yelled, trying to rally the morale of everyone behind him. But he didn't notice that even he spoke with a trace of trill, and the fear had already been injected not only into the private soldiers behind him, but even he, the silver-level warrior leader, was about to be crushed by this 'fear' that he had never seen before.
"Eat...... Eat them all......"
There were at least 200 corpses moving on the opposite side, and if you had to count them, there would be 276 corpses...... Because it was the bodies of all the members of the Prescott family who died on the third floor.
Originally, they thought that the third layer was a place without the slightest danger, and the initial detection was indeed so. There are no magic traps, no magic beasts, no existence that can be dangerous to them...... Except for a dried corpse wrapped in dense roots.
For safety reasons, the Prescotts did not trespass on any part of the place, not even the corpse. It wasn't until they found the entrance to the next level, and started to enter the fourth floor, that they thought about cleaning up the dried corpse.
However, just as one of the team members drew his long sword and tried to cut off the vines wrapped around the corpse, the tip of the sword inadvertently brushed the skin of the corpse, and an indescribable fishy smell suddenly spread from the inside of the corpse. Along with it was a swarthy swarthy spree of bugs that had accumulated inside the corpse...... Like mosquitoes, but smaller than mosquitoes, and more aggressive.
The unlucky team member was quickly wrapped in black worms, and he didn't know how many places he had been bitten, only to hear bursts of screams coming non-stop.
By the time the others reacted and used torches to disperse the bugs, the hapless team member had been sucked alive into a dried corpse.
After a while, a sense of fear permeated the hearts of the surviving team members, but they didn't expect that the real horror had just begun.
Just as the two team members were carrying the dried corpse and preparing to discard it, they thought it was dead...... , but suddenly pounced, biting the neck of the other team member fiercely.
"Eat...... Eat them all......" the dry corpse roared indistinctly as he chewed on the flesh that had been torn off.
Harlan clearly remembers the shock and fear that filled his heart when he saw that scene.
The real fear has befallen ...... The team member who had bitten his throat off by the dry corpse immediately stood up and continued to pounce on the other members of the team who were still alive, also biting his former teammates with his teeth.
Whether it's the face, ears, palms, neck...... As long as it is not wrapped in armor, it is all where they are mouthed.
And every member of the team who was bitten, whether seriously injured or killed on the spot, would become a new companion of the group of corpses in less than a few breaths, and continue to attack their former teammates.
Although Harlan is only a silver level, he is not a top master in the entire continent. But when he was younger, he also traveled to many places on the continent as a ranger, and heard how bards everywhere sang the epic legends of those heroes, and how evil dragons destroyed cities and homes that invaded humans.
However, he had never heard of a dead person in this world who could still have autonomous conscious activities......
But when he saw the corpses of his former colleagues and comrades-in-arms staggering with footwork, shouting words such as 'eat' and 'hunger' coming up, Harlan felt as if they had opened a Pandora's box that had never appeared in this world before.
The creatures of this world seem to be facing a new kind of horror!
