Chapter 519: The Long Night Begins
It was pitch black in front of me, and the only source of light was the bright moon that depended on each other.
But now, they are also vaguely enveloped in blood-colored mist, and the moonlight that flows down is more bloody.
Is this a normal situation? Or are they even as powerful as the main gods, and they have been sniped by their opponents?
In the long night, there are few light sources, but they are far away.
The large light plants emitted light on the carriage not only dispelled the dark and cold night, but also the dangers of the forest.
"Ahead! Corpses! ”
The sentinels in front had already shouted a warning.
The knights who led the team lined up the array and took the lead to meet it.
The living and the dead fought together, and the array of dozens of knights easily bulldozed these dull and sluggish corpse monsters.
But no one was excited.....
"This is already the ninth batch in half an hour......"
Lu Ping'an glanced at it, noticed the linen rags and clothes on the corpse monsters, as well as the wooden farm tools and weapons, and knew that if they had just crawled out of the nearby wild grave, they were unlucky enough to be farmers not long ago.
"Lights up!"
Small flare plants were brought into the hands of the knights, who stood at the outskirts of the procession, tasked with looking for threats lurking in the darkness.
Along the way, it was also their early warning that made the process along the way quite smooth.
“...... Mainly, what I encountered now, are some corpse monsters who have just woken up..... No, not so long ago, they should have been pure corpses. ”
Due to the appearance of an unknown sun god, the fire of purification scorched the entire world, and at the same time, awakened the sleeping "old gods".
And the revival of the ancient gods and the corpses of the gods...... Something that no one expected happened, and they directly had a chain reaction.
The corpses of ancient beings and gods crawled out of the tombs, and then, their appearance, shattered the already shaky boundary between life and death, and more living dead and corpse monsters were born.
Gods, creatures above the rule level, when they return from death, it also indirectly leads to the boundary between life and death being directly shattered, and more dead people appear...... This is just an official explanation, the statement of the Iridescent Prophet.
But Lu Ping'an knows that this may be the reason, but not all.
"After all, it's still the Earth Sealing Technique that has collapsed...... The sealed ancient gods, god corpses, and wreckage have all escaped, and their aftermath in the ground can make those dead buried in the ground turn into monsters again. ”
The earth, which was originally a "prison", has become a "source" of pollution, and the creatures soaked in it have been "reborn" one by one.
The third plague is said to be the plague of the living...... In the final analysis, it was the "Earth Sealing Technique" that completely reached its limit and released the prisoners inside.
The sun god who caused all this? Oh, she's a little stronger than her ex, and after at least ten minutes of light, she regrettably "lost contact" again.
"Boom!"
The warriors are caught in a new round of fighting, and the sealing weapon is not very effective against this monster, but as long as they destroy their lower limbs, it can effectively delay their attack.
The explosions came and went, and the "Holy Fire Fruit" that Lu Ping'an had distributed before was very useful...... This kind of extremely weak bomb with explosive power can only be described as zero-order, but it is extremely useful for those vulnerable monsters who have been revived, and it is just an ordinary farmer who has the courage to pick up a "stone" and throw it at the monster that stands in the way.
The knights were still deliberately maintaining the defensive line, but the long line had gone through several hours of rapid marching, and no one could guarantee how many people were left behind and how many people lost their lives in the dark night.
Along the way, there were weeping and whimpering, and it is still unclear to many people why they should immediately abandon their hometown and city where they have lived for so long.
A small number of knights, professional warriors, and mercenaries stood on the periphery, slashing and slashing along the way, eliminating the hordes of corpses that kept pouring out....... At the same time, some mutant corpses that suddenly appeared in the crowd were also cleaned up.
This is not a zombie crisis caused by a biochemical virus, but now, just lying on the ground after death, the corpse can't stop the "blessing of the earth", and it quickly gets a new life.
"Quagmire ....."
Lu Ping'an's excellent spiritual vision did not bring him good news at this time.
What the flat earth in the eyes of others is a swamp full of black silt in his eyes, and every step is extremely laborious to pull it out.
“....... The whole land has been polluted......."
What Lu Ping'an got was a helpless and even desperate answer.
Just by stepping on the ground, you can feel the pollution everywhere..... The twisting power is not strong, but it is everywhere, and there is nowhere to escape.
"Light the lights!"
What the refugees can do is to light up the "light plants" entrusted by Lu Ping'an, and use the pure holy fire to dispel pollution.
Mortals didn't know what was going on, but they could feel that they would be much more comfortable and relaxed when they were near those light sources.
“...... Is this just the beginning of the third plague? ”
In the team's private channel, all kinds of discussions have come and gone.
Finally, when this fractured world loses its protective layer, it reveals its true face as a "land of demons", and also shows its true status as a hell difficulty.
Where should I run away? Is there really a safe place?
Despair and fear are spreading, and the more people who know, the more desperate they are at the moment.
The lord has already privately searched for Lu Ping twice in private, hoping to enter the "shelter" in advance....... Lu Ping'an directly rejected him with the reason of "I need you to stabilize people's hearts".
Kill, fight, break through, kill.
The simple and direct cycle is infinitely unfolded, time has become meaningless, endless corpses and monsters have jumped out of nowhere, and infinite battlefields and nights make people feel like they are spinning in place.
But Lu Ping'an knew that he was always on the right path, on the most likely way to escape.
"Road is safe!"
Sudden screaming is not a good thing.
And the goal of that guidance is a big head.
It was a dilapidated area, a dense black mist gathered together, and faintly, countless figures could be seen floating.
“..... This is the battlefield! It's the battlefield where we fought those bandits a few days ago! Look at the hills. ”
There is no need to explain, Lu Ping'an has already seen that on the hill in front of him, there are countless corpse monsters.
At the very front of the corpse monster legions that had just appeared, there was only the upper body left, but the "evil bones" were still floating in mid-air.
This ghost weather caused the two passers-by to collide directly, and at the same time that Lu Ping'an saw them, those corpse monsters also jumped down like an avalanche.
"I heard that there were two big knights who died in that one?"
“...... With the addition of evil bones, it is three. ”
