Chapter 141: The Corpse Plague Spreads to Changqu Town Again
The so-called flying corpse, in fact, is one of the many zombie categories, compared to the ordinary walking corpse, the level of the flying corpse will be higher, the action will be much more agile than the ordinary walking corpse, some particularly powerful can be more than ten feet long, more than a hundred steps, it looks like flying, so gradually people have the saying of flying corpses.
Previously, Meng Juntong and his party entered the Yin Soul Ridge from Heixi Tower Village, and they were attacked by walking corpses, and they did not see any flying corpses or higher-level corpses.
Compared with Heixi Tower Village, this Changqu Town is much farther away from Yin Soul Ridge, how could it be that it is here that it is attacked by flying corpses, which makes Wei Ling, who has always been extremely obsessed with anecdotes, can't help but have a desire to explore.
Town guard Li Chang has been serving in Changqu Town for more than ten years, and it can be said that he knows everything about the grass and trees in this town.
Seeing that Wei Ling was interested, Li Chang thought that this was an excellent opportunity to pat himself on the back, and hurriedly explained earnestly on the side: "Shangguan doesn't know, the murderous thing on the Yin Soul Ridge is very terrifying. Previously, there was a wandering Taoist who passed by here, looked at the weather of the mountain, and said five words of 'miserable' in a row, he told us that there was a kind of monster on the mountain, called the drought, which can cause a great drought and fire, but the monster was trapped by some kind of force and could not leave the mountain. If he can see the light of day again, within a hundred miles, there will be no living souls, and there will be no grass. ”
Wei Ling slapped his thigh: "That old Taoist priest still has some skills, which he can see." ”
Yan Fengyi on the side shook his head lightly: "Cultivators are different from our martial artists, they can see what we can't see, feel what we don't know, listen to what we don't hear, and naturally know what we don't know." ”
"The king of the county is right. Li Chang seized the opportunity, patted his ass, and continued: "We have also sent people to the other side of the mountain before, and there is a village over there, called Heixita Village, that village has been around for years, as if it was there hundreds of years ago. It is said that every few years there is a drought in the village, and there are no grains in the fields. This is exactly the same as the great drought that the old Taoist said. What's even more terrifying is that there will be a corpse plague in that place every once in a while, which is all true. ”
"Master Li, you don't need to introduce the situation in Heixita Village any more, our team has just come over there. Wei Ling patted Li Chang on the shoulder, tried to make himself look low-key, and said softly.
Li Chang didn't react at first, echoed twice, and suddenly his body stopped in place as if he had been struck by lightning.
Wei Ling saw that Li Chang didn't follow, and turned his head to look at him.
Li Changzhi looked at Wei Ling in a daze: "What did you just say......?" You're coming from Gangheita Village?" When he said this, he subconsciously took two steps back.
Wei Ling tilted his head and said indifferently, "What's the matter, is there a problem?"
"There's a corpse plague going on over there now, I heard from the post book that no less than 100 people have gone missing in Heixita Village, and Longwei Town has blocked every road to Heixita Village, and you actually came through the Yin Soul Ridge!" Li Chang looked incredulous.
They have not walked the road into the mountains, and as mentioned before, there will be woodcutters and hunters who will go into the mountains to beg for a living.
But it was all chosen in good times, but at the slightest sign of drought, no one dared to approach the mountain.
The older generation of people spread that when the sky is drought, that is, the devil in the mountains has awakened and is about to plunder people's blood and food.
Now there is not only a drought in the mountains, but also a corpse plague, which is not a joke.
"The Bai family hunter in our town is the youngest and most capable hunter in ten miles and eight towns, two months ago, that kid didn't believe in evil, and led the dog into the mountain, but guess what happened in the end. Li Chang seemed to be telling a ghost story, his voice was low, and his face was full of fear.
"Didn't come back?" Wei Ling asked tentatively, the people over there in Heixi Tower Village, all of them who entered the mountain were missing, so he thought that this hunter surnamed Bai should not have returned to the town either.
But Li Chang shook his head: "The people are back, and their souls are lost in the mountains." ”
Meng Juntong, who had been listening to the stories outside with her ears pricked up, couldn't help it, she stuck her head out of the carriage and asked, "What do you mean that people are coming back and their souls are lost in the mountains?"
Li Chang glanced at Meng Juntong and let out a long sigh: "When I entered the mountain, he was still a strong man, but it was only two days, and when our people found him in the suburbs about five miles away from the town, he was already dying. ”
Wei Ling felt that something was wrong: "We have also seen the person who was captured by the drought fish and took away the blood food, there is nothing unusual from the corpse, the body shape is the same as before his death, at most there are some wounds, the drought fish blood food, it is the essence of life." But you said that he only had skin and bones left, which was obviously drained of flesh and blood. ”
Wei Ling was interested in these things, and of course he knew a little better.
Meng Juntong also nodded and added: "The situation you said is not like encountering a drought, but like encountering a female ghost mandrill." ”
The female ghost mandrill specializes in luring young and strong men with color and making them comature with herself, and in the process, she has to strip away the man's flesh and blood little by little, until his qi withers and dies.
Compared to the natal essence, there are much more impurities in the flesh and blood essence, and a high-level monster like a drought demon naturally disdains to absorb it, and it has to work hard to refine the impurities.
But those female ghost mandrills don't care about this, they rely on this thing to survive.
"Could it be that in addition to the drought fish on this mountain, it is still a mandrill?" Wei Ling was a little regretful, he finally entered the Yin Soul Ridge, and he didn't have a chance to explore it properly, so he was sent out without saying anything.
"And what happened to that Orion after that?" Meng Juntong continued.
Li Chang stopped and pointed in one direction, and everyone looked in the direction he pointed to, and saw a fairly well-repaired stone house, and the window outside the house was already filled with dense white silk.
There is no need to say anything more, the white hunter is probably no longer alive.
"Huh, why don't you even light the lights at home?" It was almost dark at this time, and the other houses in the town had already lit up the lights, but there was no fire in the small stone house, even if it was just a vigil, it should be lit forever.
Li Chang couldn't bear to look at the house again: "Everyone is gone, what kind of lights are still lit." ”
"That Orion doesn't have a wife or children in his family?"
"Yes, all of them, but they all died at the hands of that man. ”
