Chapter 30: The Missing Corpse

"Ahem! Ahem, ahemβ€”"

Lindsay walked down the road and couldn't help coughing a few times.

The two wounds on his chest were sending out a chill, and the [essentia-frost erosion] on the attribute panel was also reminding him that this was no ordinary trauma.

But at this time, Lindsay had to sigh, it was really a lucky thing to be able to awaken the essence of life.

Although he had only just cultivated essentia, he had not yet been able to embody the many wonders of this ability.

But in the face of the enemy's essentia erosion.

This strength has been able to help him resist certain damage and prevent his body from deteriorating rapidly.

"That's exactly what Dan said."

"When ordinary people encounter Warcraft, it's really a mistake and it's over, and I'm really lucky for the first time......"

After a few minutes, Lindsay's bottoming out stamina bar had recovered most of it.

He himself walked to the frozen river he had just arrived.

Then he saw the figure of the torch.

With three arrows in his hand, the boy cautiously groped his way through the frozen ice toward the opposite shore.

Behind him, the ice badger that Lindsay had shot to death was also motionless.

"This ......"

Lindsay's expression was a little glazed.

The child was not left behind the safety of the corpse.

Instead, wait a few minutes later.

Worried about Lindsay's condition, he took the initiative to come out and explore the river.

He even collected all his arrows carefully.

Lindsay's nose was a little sour for a moment, and an indescribable emotion arose in her heart.

The child in front of him took the initiative to take risks because he was worried about his own safety.

This concern is even more powerful than when Lindsay had just defeated the three ice badgers!

"Brother Lindsay?"

At this time, the torch who was on the ice also saw Lindsay emerging from the woods.

He shouted and rushed up, trying to hug Lindsay. But seeing the injury on his chest, he immediately stopped moving:

"You, your chest ......"

Torch's voice trembled a little.

But Lindsay didn't talk much about his injury, instead reiterating in a serious tone:

"Torch, you should hide behind."

"It's dangerous here."

Torch met Lindsay's gaze, and although his tone was nervous, his attitude was very firm:

"I saw those three demonic beasts chasing you, I, I'm worried!"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Looking at Torch's earnest and trembling gaze, Lindsay couldn't hold on any longer.

"Thank you." He took three of his arrows from the torch, then grabbed the child's hand and walked back to the town across the river, "But rest assured, it's all right now." ”

Torch followed two steps, and couldn't help but ask curiously:

"The other two ice badgers......"

Lindsay nodded affirmatively:

"Got them by luck."

"But you can also see - now that I'm a little injured, I'm afraid I can't wait for Dan here anymore, and I need to go back to town to treat the wound first."

Lindsey and Torch talk as they walk towards the town.

Killed three ice badgers that came out of nowhere, today's hunting teaching, no matter how you say it, can be regarded as 'merit'.

This was supposed to be the end of it.

But not long after leaving the frozen river, and just stepping onto the snow-covered land, Lindsay noticed a very important change.

The birch tree, where they had just cut through the snow and dug up the corpses, and finally covered them with torches, was now empty.

- The corpse is gone!

Lindsay paused and hurriedly asked:

"Torch, you just removed this corpse?"

Even Lindsay herself didn't believe it.

How could a child hide the body of an adult in such a short period of time.

Besides, he didn't have a reason to do that?

At the same time, Torch followed Lindsay's voice and found the bare ground under the birch trees.

His reaction was just as confused as Lindsay's:

"Huh? Just now, it was obviously here. ”

"I'm only a few minutes away......"

When Lindsay heard this, she realized something was wrong.

"Let's go, let's leave immediately!"

He grabbed the torch's hand tightly and ran forward despite his physical discomfort, the alarm of danger sounding in his heart.

A corpse that suddenly disappeared in a few minutes.

And the dead bodies of adults who had been buried in the snow for days, frozen as hard as a rock.

Even if a scavenger comes, I'm afraid they won't do anything like this.

What the hell is going on?

Out of the corner of Lindsay's eye, he drifted under the birch tree, but he didn't want to look at it at all.

Approaching hastily.

You may be able to find some clues of the disappearance of corpses in the snow.

But now what he wants more to do is to return to the town safely with the torch. This is never the time to take risks.

Lindsay's reaction made the torch behind him realize that something was wrong.

He shook off Lindsay's hand and walked to the front instead.

Although Torch is still a child, he seriously acts as a guard for Lindsay, a wounded man, to prevent dangers that may arise around him at any time.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"Ahem, ahem!"

Lindsay wanted to open her mouth to stop it.

But the coldness that came from his chest made him cough a few times at once, and he had to swallow back the words he had prepared.

The two took a few more steps.

There seemed to be silence all around, and there was no movement in sight.

"Roar!"

Suddenly, in the nearby woods, a dark shadow burst out.

And he has a clear goal, and he is the torch that walks ahead.

Lindsay didn't even have time to shout a reminder.

He pushed the torch forward, and he pulled out his dagger and collided head-on with the shadow.

Bang!

Lindsey and Shadow both went both ways and fell.

All he felt was that he had hit a piece of iron, and his whole body hurt from top to bottom.

Lindsay didn't have time to complain, he quickly got up and looked forward, and found that there was a figure standing up opposite him.

If you distinguish carefully.

Isn't that human face frozen white by ice and snow the same frozen corpse before!

"The resurrection of the dead?"

In Lindsay's mind, the classic monster images in many film and television game works appeared in an instant.

Zombies, zombies, undead......

He couldn't tell which category the reconstituted corpse in front of him belonged to.

But the touch that rushed up just now had already told him that this thing was definitely not easy to deal with, at least not at the same level as flesh and blood and ice badgers.

Lindsay's gaze swept around.

The torch that he pushed away got up from the ground, and when he looked back, he also noticed this surprising scene.

On the other side, the resurrected corpse also got up again.

Its head shook from side to side like a rattle, and then instead of looking at the torch, it shifted its head to Lindsay.

At this time, Lindsay clearly saw the other party's face.

There was no emotion on the frozen face, and the area around the eye socket was sunken from the cold, but the crystallized eyeball was sunken again, and there were tiny cracks on it. There is no emotion in it except the silent death.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"Torch, go to town and ask the others to help quickly."

Torch hesitated for a moment.

He also understood the pros and cons, and then ran in the direction of the town without hesitation.
