Chapter 10: The Living Dead

Without even having a chance to reach out and wipe the cold sweat on his forehead, Mino, an extremely ugly lazy donkey, rolled around and narrowly avoided the explosive attack of the black shadow.

At this time, Mino finally had a chance to see what the guy who attacked him was, and that still impressive face belonged to a middle-aged swordsman who was enthusiastic about him during the day, and Mino couldn't help but shudder at the thought of this guy's stiff drag on him in the afternoon.

The strength of the middle-aged swordsman is good, he has the appearance of a fifth level, and even if the current Mino fights against others, he may not be able to win the kind of battle, let alone the other party is still a sneak attack.

If it weren't for the fact that Mino happened to fall to the ground before, and this swordsman strangely didn't hold a sword, and there seemed to be some problems with his sanity, Mino would probably have to explain here today.

But the current situation is not much better, no matter how irrational people are and there are no weapons, but the strength is real, and Mino's current strength is still a little suspenseful to say that the fourth level, the only thing that can make him leapfrog the challenge of the Fallen Star Sword is that he doesn't dare to use it because of his body, what does Mino use to fight with others?

So for today's plan, there is only one word, that is: escape!

Grabbing his own standard iron sword in one hand and blocking the swordsman's claw blow, Mino had to give a thumbs up to his whimsical idea today to put on his clothes again after taking a shower.

If it weren't for this suit in the way, even if Mino's dodge was timely enough, the wooden thorns that burst out from the broken door and bed just now would have turned Mino, whose weakened body after Nirvana, was inserted into a hedgehog.

And this is also extremely conducive to Mino's escape, if Mino is now wearing a bathrobe, I'm afraid he will be unclothed now, although it is a critical juncture, but Mino still has to face.

If the name of the naked mad demon spreads, how will he mix on the mainland in the future?

Could it be that in the future, the historical record of him should be on par with the legendary Master Deathwing Sigma, come up with a bunch of good words, and then add a sentence at the end that it is a pity that he is a naked pervert?

If that's the case, I'm afraid that all the ancestors in the field will want to jump out of the cemetery and strangle to death this unworthy descendant who has tarnished the name of the Star Brave!

Shattering the windows of the inn at once, Mino fell from the third floor along with the fragments of the windows, and the high pressure of death made him think wildly in the process of falling.

Fortunately, it's only the third floor, even if Mino panicked and didn't have time to add a light body technique to himself, he just fell and his leg hurt when he jumped, although the pain probably came from a bone crack, but at least there was no fracture, as long as he endured a little pain, it was still no problem to run away.

Please forgive poor Mino for not being able to face it head-on, and chose to flee in humiliation, but if he didn't choose to escape, would he want Mino to stay here alone and carry an enemy that is greater than or equal to a hundred, and the upper limit can be as high as four figures?

What kind of international joke is this, even if these guys are all skeleton warriors, they can grind the bad Mino to death here, not to mention that there are basically second-level strength here, and even a few terrifying monsters that can reach the third, fourth, or even fifth-level horror monsters!

Yes, it's monsters, and even though they all retain their human form, Mino really can't associate these glazed eyes, fangs and claws, ghosts crying wolves, and most importantly, mouthfuls of blood and even holding arms or thighs to gnaw at the word human.

Of course, as a former magic apprentice and a lover of reading, Minow was able to unfortunately, saying that he knew the official names of these humanoid monsters:

The Living Dead.

Note that although the name is associated with the deceased, it is not one of the undead, and its record is that Mino, who saw it in a book that analyzes the devil.

This is one of the most tragic fate of the living after being sacrificed to the devil, most of their souls and lives will be absorbed by the devil, and their memories and cognition will also be extracted and transformed, and what will be left behind is a humanoid puppet that retains its original form and strength, but its memory and cognition are frozen forever.

During the day, they maintain a seemingly normal life based on their remaining memories, but every day is the same, and they use it to reach out to Minow's unwitting outsiders.

Then at night, the darkness revives, and the orders and instincts of the devil will cause them to turn into the devil's minions, devouring alive the outsiders who have been bewitched by them to stay overnight, and the souls will be taken away by the devil who is behind them, while the flesh will remain in their stomachs, filling the emptiness of their bodies and sustaining the next action.

In such a state, their sanity can still be basically preserved, even more sober than the state of confusion during the day, but they have to devour the flesh and blood of their own kind, the feeling of torture can be imagined, and even because the state of the living dead will lose their minds during the day, they can't even paralyze themselves.

And so it goes on until they are found and cleared, or their bodies are so rotten that they can no longer confuse outsiders, and their tormented and broken souls are freed.

Judging from the situation in Sword Furnace Town, it is clear that they were all sacrificed on the day of the furnace opening ceremony, so the memory is forever limited to that day, repeating the actions of that day every day, and then revealing the nature of the living dead at night.

By the way, Mino finally confirmed what those screams were all about, and as Mino had guessed, they were all members of the caravan that had kindly hitched Mino a ride.

As for the reason, it was because from the severed limbs and severed arms that were being held and gnawed, it was evident to Mino the familiar clothing of the men who had lived in the homes of the townsfolk who had been 'graciously' invited, because of the merchant's habitual greed and cheapness.

It is clear that they have paid an extraordinary price for this, and Mino has won a chance to survive because of his wealthy net worth and the shyness of his youth.

But it's just an opportunity.

If Mino hadn't escaped from the smaller, thicker-growing encirclement and left the town where something had clearly changed, he might not have been able to wait for his bar mig.

Run away.

Run away with all your might.

After breaking out of the encirclement of the living dead, who were obviously not fully sane, Mino, began to chase and escape with this group of 'hospitable' living dead, but unfortunately probably because there were too few people, in fact, except for a few living dead near the inn, the others were still wandering aimlessly around the town, or hunting and devouring other outsiders who had strayed into the area and were confused.

The appearance of Mino, obviously, attracted their attention, so Mino had to change the route several times, and finally completely lost in this strange place not so much a town as a small town.

So Mino really can't do anything except run away with all his might, and do his best to maintain his life with his rapidly depleting physical energy, and the only thing he can hope for is to be able to run to the edge of the town by mistake and escape.

But this hope is really too slim, so slim that he can't even see hope. (To be continued.) )
