Chapter 0148: The Legend of the White Ghost (Title of Zhu Jinbang)

"Whew~"

"Whew!"

"Whew!"

A series of heavy wheezing echoed through the snow.

More than 20 figures, running in the snow in a panic, finally couldn't hold on after running wildly for half an hour.

"Plop!"

It wasn't the last man in the line who fell, but a thin man in the middle of the group.

"Ha~ha~bu~lu! Ha~Jack~ fell! ”

The man next to Jack gasped and shouted at Blue.

Blue was not at the front, but at the back of the line.

I have to say that his behavior made everyone in the team feel relieved and warm, even Nock and Leo, who joined temporarily.

No wonder he was able to become the leader of the caravan and pull up a wild team of twenty people.

"Damn, I shouldn't have agreed to him join the caravan! His body is too weak! ”

Blue scolded Jack as he ran up from the back of the group.

Even though he was carrying a cargo that was taller than his own height, he still ran smoothly.

This is because he is a low-level professional.

If Nock and Leo were wrong, Blue would have been a Hunter of the Second Rank of Black Iron.

Because even in the vast expanse of snow, Blue can accurately guide the team forward.

Several times the people in front of him went in the wrong direction, and they were all scolded back by him.

This is a snowfield with no references, and if you don't look at the footprints behind you, it's not impossible to go around in a big circle.

But Blue has the ability to identify routes, and this ability can only be a hunter's professional skill: absolute sense of direction.

This is the core basic skill of the Hunter, and with this skill, the Hunter will never lose his way or let his arrows lose their target.

Of course, this ability is only somewhat useful in the field when there is no reference and in the maze.

Other times, it's like chicken ribs.

But now, it's very practical.

At least the caravan and his party ran to the front of the white ghost group without worrying about running around.

"No, Blue, Jack needs to rest. Not to mention him, even we need to rest. Carrying such a heavy load for so long, we are already beyond the limits of our daily life. ”

"This ......" Faced with the suggestions of the players, Blue didn't know what to do for a while.

Personally, he wanted to get as far away from the white ghost as possible.

That kind of, it's not something that humans can deal with at all.

But as the captain of the caravan, he couldn't abandon the members of the caravan so selfishly.

He brought these people out, and even if he couldn't make money, he had to bring them back intact.

This is the only way to live up to the trust of their families.

Just as Blue hesitated, Nock spoke.

"Mr. Blue, I think the others are right. We've been on the road for more than half an hour, and we're at least far away from the monsters. If they were going to chase after them, at their speed, I think they would have been chasing them a long time ago. ”

"But now that we're safe, it means they didn't notice us at all, and we should be safe. If you're not at ease, we can take a 10-minute break, take a slow break, and then walk slowly for a while. By the time dawn comes, we should be safe. ”

Nock's proposal was approved by the majority.

Blue had no choice but to agree to fix the situation, but not to disperse, everyone carried the goods around the city, and then sat in the snow, drinking water and dry food.

If you don't want to eat anything, just close your eyes and close them.

Nock and Leo didn't have any salutes.

However, since they were in a hurry to leave, Nock and Leo also helped some teenagers share some of the goods.

Leo, in particular, carries his ice shield on his back in addition to the goods.

As soon as the caravan sat down, everyone began to pant loudly, and those who had water drank water, and those who did not had water could only rub their mouths and throw snow into their mouths.

Nock also felt a little thirsty, but they lost their luggage and didn't have a hydration bag.

As for eating snow, he didn't want to.

There were footprints all around, and who knows which piece of snow had been trampled by the pair of boots that had stepped on cow dung from the caravan members.

"Come and drink water."

Blue handed Nock his water bag.

"It's hot water, it boiled last night." Looking at Nock's hesitant hand, Blue explained.

"Thank you." Nock took it, in this kind of weather, even if the water in the water bladder is held in his arms, it may be frozen into ice, and only hot water can remain liquid for a short time.

However, it is estimated that Blue slept in his arms with the hot water bottle in his arms last night, so that after Nock opened the water bottle, he could still see the heat.

Nock greedily poured two sips on himself, not caring if the water bladder was dirty. At this time, it's not the time to pay attention, compared to the snow mixed with cow dung, a little other people's saliva is nothing.

Nock took two sips and handed the water bladder to Leo beside him, who was not polite, poured it in a big gulp, and drank the water bladder dry in a few sips.

"Sorry, I ran out of water."

Leo embarrassedly handed the water bladder back and apologized.

"It's okay, it's just water, just find a safe place to camp, and then melt some snow."

Blue didn't care.

In this snow, it is not a source of water, but fire.

Dry firewood could not be found, and it was easy to freeze to death at night.

Still, Blue's team is not afraid.

Don't look at the caravansera's high piles of goods, thinking that they are carrying all the goods.

In fact, half of the people carried solid firewood!

These spare firewood are used to survive this deserted snowfield.

This was Blue's experience, and that's why the two of them saw the campfire on a snowy night and searched for it.

The firewood left over for the team was enough for them to get out of the snowfield.

If you can find other firewood along the way, there may be left.

Therefore, as long as there is fire, this thousand miles of snowfield is full of water.

"By the way, everyone would like to thank this two friends, Nock and Leo, if they hadn't found the white ghost, they would have woken us up in advance. When the snow wolves fight with the white ghosts and wake us up, we will definitely scream because we are unprepared, and if the white ghosts notice, we will definitely be finished. ”

Blue tells Nock and Leo about saving the caravan.

"What! It turned out that these two new guys saved us! ”

"Well done, new guy! Thank you! ”

"Thank you so much, new guy! I thought I was going to die! My wife is still pregnant, waiting for me to make a lot of money! ”

"Thanks, newcomer. Without you, we would be dead. My wife is still waiting for me to go home and raise it! ”

A heartfelt thank you made Nock and Leo a little cramped.

The main thing is that the two of them are purely curious about what it is, and as for being afraid, it is not enough.

Although the attack methods of those white ghosts were weird, the two Nocks were not afraid.

I think even if they can't beat them, they can still run away.

The speed of those white ghosts is not very fast, but the snow limits the running speed of land creatures, and the white ghosts can fly.

But these are not a problem at all in front of Leo's mount Ukao, riding Ukao, they can get rid of those white imps at any time.

But now it seems to be a little bit of a look.

After all, everyone has said that those white ghosts are incomprehensible.

Aren't the masters on the continent more powerful than the two of them?

Aren't there one or two nosy ones who make a move on the white ghost?

This is unlikely, and the only explanation is that it did, but it failed.

That's why Blue says that there is no solution to those things.

"That's right, Mr. Blue. Those things called white ghosts, what kind of monsters the hell. Is there really no one who can defeat or kill them? I think they look a lot like ghosts, and if you deal with them, the clergy of the Holy Church should be very good at dealing with them! ”

Nock asked the question in his mind.

Blue seemed to remember something, shook his head in fear and said, "It's useless. ”

"What a white ghost is, no one knows. Why they appear and where they come from, no one knows. ”

"It is said that the legend of the earliest appearance of white ghosts dates back to the period after the end of the witch era."

"A white ghost appeared outside a town, and then, the white ghost turned the whole town into a dead city. Except for a few masters who ran away when they saw the opportunity, everyone else was devoured by the white ghost. ”

"Magic, vindictiveness, the divine magic of the Holy Church, all have no effect on it."

"Even at that time, there was a god who participated in the 'Witch Wars' because he was passing by and wanted to deal with the white ghost, but he was almost killed at the hands of the white ghost, and he escaped by splitting his soul."

"The white ghost that devoured the town is said to have grown to thousands of meters in size. It can be said that if it is left unchecked, the mainland will be destroyed by it. ”

Blue couldn't help but pause to take a breath when he said this.

The others were listening attentively and immediately asked, "Then who destroyed that white ghost later?" ”

"How do you know you've been wiped out?" Someone asked the person who asked the question before, puzzled.

The man angrily snorted: "You are stupid! If the white ghost hadn't been wiped out, humanity would have perished by now. ”

"That's right!" The person who was scolded reacted and didn't care about being scolded at all.

"No, the white imp wasn't destroyed." Blue dismissed the man's speculation.

"What!" Everyone was taken aback and looked at Blue in unison, asking him for an explanation.

"It is true that the white ghost has not been destroyed. It just disappeared. ”

"When the sun appeared, the giant white ghost disappeared out of thin air.

Yes, in the eyes of those survivors, it disappeared out of thin air.

Not killed by the sun's rays like vampires, but completely gone, leaving nothing behind.

This is the legend of the first white ghost to appear. ”

Bruce paused, and continued: "After that, it will not be long before the legend of the white ghost will appear in winter all over the continent. ”

"Some of them were witnessed by someone."

"Some of them were guessed based on the corpses of creatures at the scene after the fact."

As a result, it was deduced that the white ghost only appeared on snowy nights. The location is random, but the purpose is very consistent. Devour souls, devour the souls of all creatures they come across. Especially fond of commanding the souls of creatures. ”

"I believe that the legends you have heard about the white ghost are all versions that have only been circulated in the last hundred years, so you don't know much about the white ghost. I only know that they are very dangerous, and the people I encounter are basically not alive. ”

Nock looked at the eloquent Blue and suddenly asked, "Mr. Blue, I see that everyone else is hearsay to the white ghost, how do you seem to know the white ghost very well." ”

Blue didn't expect Nock to ask that, and was stunned for a moment.

He looked at the group of caravan members around him who were all looking at him with puzzled eyes, gritted his teeth, and simply confessed.

"Actually, there's nothing hard to say, that's right, the legends about white ghosts on the mainland are actually passed down from person to person, and some are even exaggerated. But it's basically true. ”

"But I'm different, one of my ancestors, I don't know how many years ago, was a survivor of a village that was attacked by white ghosts. His family was devoured by the white ghost in order to save him. ”

"In order to kill the white ghost and avenge the relatives, the ancestor aspired to be a white ghost hunter."

"The ancestors collected various legends about the white ghosts of the time, and then collected all the items that could restrain the evil forces of the time. What holy water, exorcism relics, magic arrays, and even witchcraft left by the witch who became a forbidden spell have also learned. ”

He studied this for thirty years. For thirty years, he spent every winter searching for the snow he could walk on, and spent every snowy night. ”

"Even when his child was born, he refused to go home, preferring to spend a snowy night in the wilderness rather than fulfill the responsibilities of a husband."

"It wasn't until his children grew up and he grew old that he didn't want to stay at home."

"But he began to train his sons again, wanting them to carry on his research and search for white ghosts."

"But his children hate him, hate him for abandoning his wife and children, just to find a monster that causes death!"

"His children refused to carry on the cause of their ancestors, and the ancestors were very sad. Later, he set his sights on his grandson. ”

"However, the son of the patriarch knew that he would do so, so he never gave him the opportunity to be alone with his grandson."

"The ancestor was disappointed, but he found his granddaughter who he had neglected."

So the granddaughter of the patriarch became his heir. As you know, in ancient times, women did not have a high status. ”

"My grandmother was overjoyed to suddenly receive care from her elders. In order not to disappoint her grandfather, she desperately studied what her ancestors taught her. ”

"Later, when the ancestor was seventy-five years old, and when the grandmother was fifteen years old, she finally met the white ghost."

"But that time, it wasn't they who took the initiative to find the white ghost, but the white ghost suddenly appeared in the village!"

"The sleeping villagers have become the food for the white ghosts."

"Because of his old age, the ancestors slept lightly at night, and woke up the people in the family when they found something wrong."

"I found out that it was a white ghost, and the ancestor excitedly found out his treasure that had been sealed for many years, took his grandmother, and rushed out of the house to find the white ghost despite the opposition of his family."

But they walked around the village and found only the corpses of the villagers. Disappointed, they can only go home, only to find that their family is being attacked by white ghosts! Grandma's parents, aunts, uncles, and sisters have been killed. Only the grandmother's two younger brothers remained! ”

"When the white ghost came out of the corpse of my grandmother's sister and planned to attack my grandmother's two younger brothers, the ancestor finally reacted and yelled to shoot the white ghost with a bow and arrow infected with holy water."

"However, the ancestor's attack didn't work, and the white ghost still burrowed into the body of the grandmother's cousin."

"Seeing this, my grandfather rushed over frantically, hugged the struggling body of my grandmother and cousin, rushed into the house frantically, and set the house on fire with the fire in the room."

"In the midst of the fire, the ancestors shouted for the grandmother to run away with her brother, and the farther away the better. Stop thinking about revenge. The ancestors finally knew that they were wrong. The white ghost cannot be killed, it is a calamity. Humanity should not try to find this calamity and kill it! ”

Grandma cried and picked up her brother and fled. They fled all night until they collapsed from exhaustion by the roadside. ”

"Later, my grandmother and little grandfather were rescued and finally survived."

"Later, my grandmother married a big man, and my little grandfather married a wife and had children, and became a small commoner."

"Until the death of the little grandfather, the little grandfather did not see the grandmother again."

"It wasn't until more than ten years after the death of the little grandfather that an old woman found the son of the little grandfather and handed him a box. Tell him it's a relic of his grandmother. ”

"The old woman didn't say how the little grandmother died, nor did she explain why the grandmother hadn't looked for the little grandpa for so many years."

"My grandfather's son was illiterate. The children of the peasants only know how to plow the land. ”

"In order to find out why the grandmother, who was missed by the little grandfather, ignored her younger brother, the son of the little grandfather decided to let his child study!"

He succeeded in getting his children into the nobles' homes as servants and playmates for the nobles' sons. After hard work, I finally learned to read and write. ”

"It's just that when he can decipher the letters and relics left by his grandmother, the son of the little grandfather is dead."

After reading the letter, the grandson of the little grandfather realized that the grandmother had never given up looking for the white ghost for revenge. She married the big guy because she used the big man's energy to investigate the white ghost. ”

"But the white ghost is too terrifying, even the big people don't want to be contaminated."

So, my grandmother ran away from home and searched for a white ghost alone, and finally found a white ghost in her lifetime.

"Grandma fought with the white ghost, and instead of killing the white ghost, she discovered some of the white ghost's weakness that is not fatal."

"The price paid is naturally heavy. But Grandma has also become the only person I know who survived the attack by the white ghost. ”

Of course, she died in the end. Her survival cannot be reproduced. ”

"When she was attacked by the white ghost, she happened to meet the sunrise, so half of the white ghost's body burrowed into her body, and half of it disappeared out of thin air in the early morning."

So, Grandma survived. But she didn't fully survive, her body was very weak, she forced her body back to the big man's side, as the wife of the big man, she just ran away from home, but it was still her home. ”

"It's just that when the big man knew that she was attacked by a white ghost, he was so frightened that he locked her up directly and didn't treat her at all."

"My grandmother had no choice but to write about her experiences and her findings while she was in detention. Then she fell ill and died in the place where she was held. ”

"It wasn't until my grandmother's granddaughter heard about her existence and where she was being held, and she ran out of curiosity to see her, that her body and relics were discovered."

At that time, my grandmother's husband had also died, and my grandmother's son was in charge. He hated his grandmother for leaving her out to look for the ethereal white ghost, and even died because of it. So, he wanted to burn his grandmother's relics. ”

Later, the grandmother's granddaughter couldn't bear to be burned, so she secretly stole it out, gave it to her nurse, and gave the relics to the little grandfather. These were all added in the letter by the grandmother's granddaughter later. ”

"It's just that the young lady didn't expect that the little grandfather had passed away a long time ago, and she couldn't wait for the grandmother's letter."

"The grandson of the little grandfather knew the truth, and he didn't regard the matter of the white ghost as a family hatred, but he didn't burn the grandmother's hard work either."

"After all, he was a playmate of the aristocracy, and he knew that if a family wanted to have a heritage, it had to have its own history."

He believes that the story of his family and the white ghost is a good historical inheritance.

So, he took the relics left by his grandmother as a family story, which was passed down from generation to generation.

"Until my grandfather told me this, I thought it was just a legend."

"Later, I ran to be a professional when I was young and vigorous, and as a result, our team encountered white ghosts, or the same group of white ghosts as today, and the result was naturally annihilated."

"I relied on the legends and experiences left by my grandmother to escape death."

"After that, I didn't become a professional anymore, I went back to the village and became a farmer honestly, but the farmer could earn a few dollars. I started working as a trader, and with the experience of being a professional, the team grew bigger and bigger. ”

"I didn't expect to be unlucky to run into it again tonight, I really wonder if my family is really cursed by white ghosts, why can people in my family often encounter white ghosts!"

Blue finished the legend he knew about the white ghost in one breath.

"Wow! Team leader, your family still has this kind of history! Your family shouldn't be some kind of down-and-out aristocrat! ”

"you, Lao Tzu said, except for the grandmother who married a big man, our ancestors were all farmers, and the grandson of the little grandfather was a playmate for the nobles, and later I heard that he was a housekeeper for the noble young master.

But because the noble young master was later offended and killed, the grandson of the little grandfather also died. His descendants had to move, so they ended up in our current village. ”

Blue laughed and teased his caravan members, only to find that Nock's expression was a little wrong.

"Brother Nock, do you have any questions?"

Nock, who was asked, nodded and looked up at Blue.

"Indeed, Brother Blue, I do have a doubt. Mind telling us how you managed to escape when the team was attacked by the white ghosts? At that time, it didn't happen to be dawn, right? ”

Nock's words made the surroundings suddenly quiet.

Only then did everyone remember, it seemed that Blue had indeed not elaborated on the matter.

Bru's face was a little ugly when he heard this, but he finally decided to answer the question.

"Actually, it's not difficult, as long as you avoid the sight of the white ghost, and then hide your breath, you can avoid the pursuit of the white ghost."

"I knew I couldn't run away, so I stole the body of a companion while my teammates were yelling and running away in a panic, and then hid behind a tree, desperately dug a hole in the snow, got into it myself, and then blocked the hole with my companion's corpse, I collapsed the snow hole and buried myself."

"Even if the white ghost hears movement, he will only find a corpse lying on the ground when he comes to check it. They are not interested in the corpse, and they do not look at whether the corpse is familiar or where it is. ”

"That's why, when I almost suffocated myself, I dared to secretly dig a hole under the corpse with my fingers, and secretly ventilate the corpse by opening the top."

"Since I didn't know that it was daylight, I hid until the corpse began to stink, and then I got out of the hole with weak feet."

"My grandmother only approached the white ghost by hiding herself in a snowdrift, and deliberately waited for a time close to dawn to make a move on the white ghost."

"It was also my grandmother who wrote that the white ghost will only catch the prey in sight for the first time, and then the breath."

"That's why I saw the white ghosts chasing the wolves, so I immediately let everyone leave. If we stay where we are, I guess the white ghosts will probably come back and kill us. ”

"After all, even if we are downwind there, but a large number of people gather, the breath left behind is too strong."

Blue's words suddenly made Nock's face change suddenly.

He suddenly stood up and asked, "You said the white ghost has a sense of smell?" ”

"yes." Blue was a little surprised by Nock's change, but still replied honestly: "It's not very sharp, but it does have ......"

"Not good! Let's go! Don't stop until dawn! Fast! ”

Nock hurriedly shouted, urging everyone to get up.

Everyone looked at him puzzled, but they still obeyed his change and slowly got up.

"Hurry up! Don't rub it off! Otherwise, the white ghost will be chasing! ”

The members of the caravan, who were still grinding because of lack of rest, were suddenly frightened by this sentence and jumped on the spot.

"What! Will the white ghost chase after him? ”

"I'm not sure! But based on Brother Blue's words, this one could be big! ”

Nock's words took everyone by surprise.

"Give me Jack, I'll carry him on my back, and the others will carry his goods on their backs, or just give up! Life is more important than money! ”

Nock's words made Blue finally understand that now was not the time to calculate.

Immediately shouted: "Remove half of the firewood!" Leave two days of the amount! In two days, even if we can't get out of the snowfield, we can go out on the third day! Save some use, we can't freeze to death! Fast! ”

At the urging of Blue, several members with firewood on their backs hurriedly unloaded the firewood on their bodies, tied them up in a panic, and then put them on their backs.

"Let's go! Brother Blue is in front of me, I am in the middle of the command, and Leo is on guard! Alert immediately when you find a white ghost! ”

No one cares about Nock's behavior of snatching command.

People are panicked, it's rare to have a backbone, who cares whom.

Blue also knew that if the white ghost really chased after him, he, the one who knew the direction, was the best guide to avoid taking the team in the wrong direction, in case they were trapped in the depths of the snowfield, even if they got rid of the white ghost, they would inevitably die.
