Chapter Eighty-Three: The Necromantic Transforms
Xiao Zhimiao woke up after sleeping on the city wall for an hour, and her teammates around her were still asleep with their eyes closed, and Xu Zhilan woke up as soon as she moved.
Seeing Xiao Zhimiao get up, he also stood up: "Where are you going?"
Xiao Zhimiao raised her chin in the direction of the castle.
Xu Zhilan was about to stretch out his foot to kick Nan Xue and the three of them awake, but Xiao Zhimiao grabbed him, "Let them sleep, I'll take a look first."
Xiao Zhimiao said to the members of the three Thorn Guilds who had been guarding her, "You don't have to follow."
Xiao Zhimiao's eyes swept the players on the city wall, basically they were still sleeping, and the one-night siege battle made the players' magic and spiritual values bottomed out, and only sleeping could quickly recover.
The countdown is almost over, she just went to the castle to step on a spot first, if she wants to collect any clues in such a short time, it is not practical, it is better to let Nanxue and them have a good rest, and preserve their strength to meet the challenges ahead.
Xiao Zhimiao picked a few skill copies in this group of players before leaving, and now she can copy three skills at the same time, which can deal with some tricky situations.
After copying the skill, she and Xu Zhilan ran to the top of Kane City.
On the way to the castle, the two of them saw many hungry and skinny residents, either sitting in front of their homes or sitting on the wet streets, looking at them numbly.
Xiao Zhimiao slowed down and looked at these residents, the aura on their bodies was so strange that she could vaguely see a faint blue shadow flickering on their bodies, with an aura of death.
Although they are very hungry and very thin, they are indeed living people, she just picked up a hungry man who was dizzy and sat down, he has the normal temperature of a living person, Xiao Zhimiao also helped him with his chest, and even his heart beats.
The city of Kane is huge, and all kinds of streets and alleys are crisscrossed, and the hungry people can no longer walk, and these residents rarely move, and it seems that it takes a lot of effort to even raise their heads to look at them.
Xiao Zhimiao looked at these street buildings and the display of various facilities and items, etc., and could imagine the lively scene of Kane City in the past.
Even their home city, Dark Star City, is not as majestic and beautiful as Kane City.
Xiao Zhimiao roughly calculated that the area of Kane City could accommodate at least fifty or sixty thousand residents.
"Save my children, two rangers, do you have anything to eat?"
A woman with a child in her arms staggered to them, knelt down and prayed, "Please, save my child, he hasn't eaten anything for two days."
The woman's skinny hand grabbed the corner of her clothes tightly, Xu Zhilan looked at the woman with a breath of death, frowned slightly, and wanted to push her away.
Xiao Zhimiao grabbed his hand and whispered, "Don't move."
Xu Zhilan followed Xiao Zhimiao's gaze and looked down, only to see that the child in the woman's arms was about seven or eight years old, the pupils of the eyes had spread, and the skin was pale and white, and it was already in a state of death.
But this woman didn't seem to know that her child had died, and she kept begging Xiao Zhimiao.
Xiao Zhimiao took out a small jar from her pocket and handed it to the woman, "And a little salt."
The woman kept saying words of thanks to Xiao Zhimiao, and reached out to pick up Xiao Zhimiao's salt shaker.
When Xiao Zhimiao handed the salt shaker over, his fingertips touched the child, his eyeballs suddenly turned, and the next moment his fingers turned into claw shapes, and he rushed towards Xiao Zhimiao fiercely.
Xiao Zhimiao reached out and grabbed the mutant boy and pushed him to the ground.
Panel pop-up:
Necromancy: Soulless Dead
Level: 20
Attack: 500
Features: Will level up and evolve into an immortal body in a short period of time
Weakness: All Holy Attribute attacks can be defeated
"Don't hurt my child!"
The woman pounced towards Xiao Zhimiao, and Xu Zhilan grabbed her and dragged her back.
Xiao Zhimiao shouted at Xu Zhilan, "Xu Zhilan, lend me the whip!"
Xu Zhilan threw Qiansi towards Xiao Zhimiao, Xiao Zhimiao took Qiansi to tie up the dead body, took off the cloak and long coat he was wearing and wrapped the dead body.
Xiao Zhimiao watched the woman struggle in Xu Zhilan's hands, obviously skinny but surprisingly strong, Xu Zhilan was about to lose control of her.
Xiao Zhimiao threw the dead body at Xu Zhilan, "Take it."
Xu Zhilan let go of the woman and took the remains, and when the woman threw herself at him, Xiao Zhimiao slashed at the back of the woman's head, knocking her unconscious.
When the woman fell to the ground, Xiao Zhimiao quickly went up and helped the woman.
Xu Zhilan looked at this monster level so low, why didn't Xiao Zhimiao solve it directly?
Although her magic attribute is not considered a holy attribute, it also works against this kind of monster that requires a holy attribute attack.
As soon as Xu Zhilan opened his mouth to ask, Xiao Zhimiao gave him a look.
"Just wanted to do it, look around."
Xu Zhilan looked around, only to see that the eyes of those residents did not know when they looked at them, and they were all staring at them deadly, as if they were about to pounce on them in the next moment.
"Doing something to the Dead Monster will alert them to find a place where no one is around."
Xiao Zhimiao and Xu Zhilan carried one by one, and the eyes of those residents all followed their movements.
Being stared at by so many eyes, or a group of people who look like skeletons, is really a little scalp tingling.
After walking for a while, the eyes of the residents finally turned away from the two of them.
Xiao Zhimiao found a corner where no one was around, and asked Xu Zhilan for a holy attribute knife to solve the dead remains.
Before she started, she checked the attributes of this young corpse, and in just a few moments, she had risen to more than a dozen levels, and at this rate, she would be able to reach the full level in less than a day.
As soon as Xiao Zhimiao had dealt with the dead remains, the woman they had placed on the ground opened her eyes and pounced on her.
Xiao Zhimiao almost subconsciously took out the knife and stabbed directly into the woman's body, and the woman let out a hoarse sound and fell to the ground.
Xiao Zhimiao glanced at the faded attribute information on the panel, and this woman had also transformed into a necromancer.
Just as the two turned to leave, the panel popped up:
[Congratulations to players for triggering the Necromancer transformation progress of all residents of Kane City - 1%, and when the conversion progress reaches 100%, they will lose the side quest - Buried Bones of the Dead, please complete this side quest before this, so as not to fail the task and lose the opportunity to reward god-level props.] 】
Xiao Zhimiao and Xu Zhilan glanced at each other and continued to walk towards the castle, both of them tried to stay away from these residents in order to avoid encountering the residents who suddenly turned into necromancy.
Now they have only one clear clue to the main quest [Stick to the Castle and Find a Home for the People of the City of Bones], and that is the lord of Kane City.
From the city wall to the castle where the city lord lived at the top, it took the two of them about half an hour, and they also used the acceleration skill during the period, but they stopped on the road for a while, and delayed some time.
Xiao Zhimiao didn't meet Achill along the way, and according to the speed of her assassin, she walked back and forth for a maximum of twenty minutes.
I haven't been back for so long, I must have stumbled over something.
Xiao Zhimiao stood in front of the gate of the castle, looking at the door without a guard, and the two gates were also hidden.
The two pushed open the door and entered, and they saw a magnificent hall.
The hall was empty, lit with dim candles, the dim yellow light illuminated the hall a little indescribably weird, and there was a glass window above the innermost wall of the hall.
The glass window was broken, but strangely there was no light coming in from the outside, the castle was already at the highest point of Kane City, and there was nothing to cover the back, and it was still daytime outside.
Xiao Zhimiao's eyes circled around the hall, and there were stairs going up on the left and right.
The light in the hall is really not bright, and the dim light illuminates the various objects in the hall
There are many shadows, those shadows that dance slightly with the candle flame, like monsters dormant in it, will pounce at any time.
Xiao Zhimiao felt a vague sense of death from the top of her head.
"Another supporter is coming, please come with me."
A black shadow suddenly walked from the shadow on one side, and Xiao Zhimiao's heart jumped and took a step back.
A girl dressed as a maid came up to them with an oil lamp, revealing a beautiful face.
Panel:
[City of Bones: Linda's Identity: The City Lord's Handmaiden]
Xiao Zhimiao looked at this with a cold expression, and after saying that, she turned around and walked towards the dark place she had just walked out of, and stretched out her hand to push open a secret door.
No wonder she just looked around and didn't notice her.
Xiao Zhimiao and Xu Zhilan followed this to the secret door, in front of which was a not very spacious corridor, and only two people could walk together.
The air in the corridor was not circulating, the smell was a little weird and unpleasant, Xiao Zhimiao also smelled a faint smell of corpses, and his heart immediately became alert.
"Why don't you go up the stairs?" Xiao Zhimiao asked after Linda.
Linda stood in front of her head and said, "That is the territory of the Dead Lord, and although he is not there during the day, if you walk from there, you will be marked by his breath."
Xiao Zhimiao: "What happens if you are marked?"
Linda tilted her head slightly: "It will take away the soul, and only the body will be left."
Xu Zhilan asked, "Who is the deceased?"
Linda: "Death's Substitute."
Linda led them forward a short distance, rounding a few openings and stopping at a staircase.
"From here, you can meet the lord of the castle."
Xiao Zhimiao looked at Linda and didn't plan to go up with them, and asked, "Has anyone else been here?"
"A lot of people have been here." Linda replied with a vague remark.
With that, she turned and walked away from the same opening where they had entered.
Xiao Zhimiao looked at the narrow and steep stairs in front of him and there were no guardrails, if he met any monsters here, it would be difficult to open them, and he would fall down if he was not careful.
