Chapter 27 Chapter Six

On the way back we passed the wolves we had killed earlier.Just now, because we were in a hurry to investigate, we ignored them, and we just left.However, these corpses have become different from before, and they all look rotten. "Has it rotted?" "Because they are originally undead creatures, after destroying their bodies, they will return to their original corpse appearance." After listening to Carl's explanation, I nodded and asked another question: "Then those guys who ran away just now have turned into corpses? We have taken back the holy emblem..."

Carl shook his head and said: "No, probably not. Although this territory is no longer God's Landing, what has happened cannot be restored to what never happened. Those wolves should still be undead creatures. Didn't Miss Adeline say that? Vampires are still Will stay the same. These guys should be the same." "This is really..." Samantha frowned when she saw the rotting and broken corpses.Although Claire said 'so scary', with a smile on his face, he began to chop off the wolf's feet and collect them together.Turk said with a very uncomfortable expression:

"Hey, what are you doing?" "Do you know how much a wolf claw necklace can sell for?" "My God, there is a guy like you. Bah!" "Hey, figure it out! We don't have a penny in our hands! Isn't that why we're going to Reynolds?" "That's true. It's just that you actually used these undead claws to make necklaces? It's disgusting." Claire snorted.Samantha kicked Claire's ass, who was lying on the floor and working hard.Claire rolled aside on the spot. "Can't you stop this ugly behavior? Do you want to try my power?"

Samantha didn't just talk, she immediately took out the holy emblem, Claire was so surprised that she had to stand up.But he followed behind the group of people, still muttering.Carl asked Samantha with a ridiculous expression: "Miss Christine, can God's power be used so casually to coerce others?" "It's nothing! For this kind of hateful guy, he should be punished by heaven!" Carl had nothing to say, just smiled.But I feel weird. "That, Carl." "What's up?" "Where did these wolves come from?" "Why do you ask about this?"

"Didn't you say that these wolves were all corpses? But judging from their state, aren't they all dead? We saw that the most decomposed corpses still maintain their original shape." Samantha laughed. "Of course! Because there is a certain age at which they can become undead creatures." "The age to become an undead creature?" "It's how long it takes for them to become undead creatures after they die..." "No, I didn't mean that. What I want to ask is, why are there so many wolf corpses? You have to die before you can become an undead creature, right? Speaking of which, why are there so many dead wolves?"

"Huh? How did this happen?" Carl tilted his head and said: "Well... Maybe someone hunts wolves on a large scale? Sometimes people go hunting after harvesting in autumn. This is because hunting is harder when the leaves are thick." "So, this means that before this place became God's Landing, someone went to hunt wolves, and after Keaton's power spread, all the dead wolves got up, right?" "Of course it's possible." "Isn't that reasonable?" Carl stopped and stood looking at me.And all the others stopped. "Why hunt wolves? The skin and meat of wolves are useless. Although it can be thought that they are hunting wolves to protect livestock from harm, there are no pastures in this area at all?"

Carl tilted his head and said: "Maybe someone has been attacked by wolves?" "That makes sense. But here's another question: Why didn't anything get chopped off of the wolf?" Claire's eyes widened.I glanced at him and said: "Of course, we can also think that they want to get the wolf's claws like Claire. However, since they are hunted, they will almost always leave some evidence. If the wolf's skin and meat are useless, at least they are killing the wolf. After them, they should chop off some things. Well, so... if you don't chop off anything, how can you prove how many wolves you have hunted?"

Turk stroked his chin. "That's right. Hunting is rarely done without doing anything. Would we say 'let's go out and kill the wolves'? No, that's not the way humans do things. As long as you're not directly victimized, you don't They will not run to do things that are dangerous and not rewarding. If they go out to hunt wolves because they suffer a lot of damage, they should at least cut off their tails in exchange for some rewards. This is the way humans do things.” I nodded. "Well, yes. That's what I wanted to say. Isn't that right, Carl?"

"That's right, brother Niederfa. Then why are so many wolves killed?" Carl made a surprised expression, and he carefully observed the wolves again.Ferrer asked: "Did he die of illness?" "How to say?" "Because this was originally the land of the gods. Therefore, the wolf may also get sick and die, isn't it?" "Why do these wolves run into this territory? You have to enter the territory to..." "Well, maybe these wolves stumbled across the village and people were dying. Because it's easy to attack! In fact, villages and towns with weakened defenses are often attacked by monsters or wolves. So these wolves came to attack the village. As a result, They themselves got sick and died."

"Ah! Very likely." Karl replied with a smile.But the moment I finished hearing Ferrer's words, I started to get goose bumps all over my body with fear.I trembled and asked: "What did you just say?" Ferrer looked at me with a surprised expression. "I said the wolf got sick and died..." At this moment, Ferrell also began to tremble as if he was suddenly splashed with cold water.He looked at me, his face turned pale, I also looked at him with the same expression, and hurriedly asked: "You, you burned the body, burned it?" "Yes, yes."

"Have you counted the number of spoons and shoes in each house?" "No, no, it's not done..." "Well, then you just moved the corpses to burn? How many are there?" "There are about two hundred..." I looked around.This is unlikely. "There are more than 200 corpses, and there are more than 90 people in the temple. So the total is 300 people. How is this possible! This territory is so big." When the others heard what I said to Ferrer, their faces also began to turn pale.It is impossible for such a large territory to have only three hundred people.I estimate at least two thousand people.What about the remaining 1,700 people?Trembling, Ferrell said: "Are all the bodies that died before we came buried?" "If it is not burned, but buried, then the matter will be serious!" I replied excitedly, and Ferrer was also shocked.It would be worse to bury it!The sick and dead wolves rose up and attacked us.Then the sick and dead will rise up and attack us! "Ah, then, why did only the wolf get up first, what about them...? Still, haven't they appeared yet?" Ferrell asked out of breath.Samantha suddenly started shouting: "How old?!" We looked at her in amazement.I answered confusedly: "I'm seventeen?" Samantha pointed to the wolf and said in a panic: "No, I didn't ask you! I said those wolves! Doesn't anyone know?" We looked at each other in panic.Who would know how old a wolf is if it is not an experienced hunter?This is a wolf and not a human.But Iluli spoke, and she said: "Although there may be errors, it is roughly from seven to ten years old." Samantha shook her hands nervously and asked: "They turn into undead creatures after seven to ten days. What about people? Because the children are not sick, so they should all be around twenty years old. Then those who die for more than twenty days will become undead biology." I looked at Samantha blankly.Sayyata continued as if talking to herself: "But according to what Ferrer said, the wolves attacked after people were sick. So people should start dying earlier. At least ten days ago. The wolves started appearing yesterday. So Speaking of it, it will take a few days..." Although Samantha didn't finish speaking, each of us already felt terrible.Shan Sen hurriedly asked: "Wait a minute, do you have to pass the same number of days as your age before you become an undead creature?" "Yes. So if the dragon is going to become undead..." "No, wait a minute, what about the people who died in this territory before? There are also people who died before because of this illness, right?" "what!" When did Shan Sen become smart?Yes.If the dead were going to rise up and attack us, it would have happened long ago.Because many people should have died before.Those people should have died long past their age.But Samantha shook her head. "No. They should wait!" Samantha gushed: "In a territory of this size, only two or three people will die every year. And after a few years, the corpses will have decayed, and maybe they won't get up again? So even if the people who died before got up, probably There are also about ten, right? Then they should not dare to attack us. But the number of people who have died of diseases recently is very large. Therefore, the people who died before should wait until this group has also got up before attacking together!" Samantha took a breath and went on: "But now they don't have to wait any longer! We have withdrawn the holy emblem and lifted the god's presence, so there will be no more dead people getting up. In other words, they should have..." "Run!" It was Turk shouting.We started running towards the temple. "Damn it! It's really odious! Why didn't I think of it before?" Turk scolded as he ran.But who would have imagined such a thing?We all gritted our teeth and ran.Ferrer said out of breath: "So, so Deferi... objected to our finding children..." I see!Samantha said he didn't want to go to the little ones.The most urgent thing now is not about the children, but those guys might get up and attack the temple... The temple began to appear at the end of our field of vision. "stop!" This time it was Iluli who called.We stopped and looked at Iruri suspiciously.Iluli was staring at the temple with her eyes wide open. "It's zombies. There are... about three hundred of them." We looked fearfully at the hill on which the temple stood.From here we can only vaguely see the scene there.We saw many things wriggling under that hill.Are those all zombies?We hurriedly pressed our bodies against the wall of the house.But when I think about it carefully, the distance between them is actually very far away.About two thousand cubits? Karl, who reads books every day and has poor eyesight, frowned and looked towards the temple.Carl said troubledly: "All you can see here is a whole bunch of things wriggling. What are they doing now?" We all turned to look at Iluli.Iluli said quietly: "They want to enter the temple. But they can't seem to get in?" Samantha snapped her fingers. "Adeline blocked them!" Claire also gasped and said: "That's good. Well, it was said that there were three hundred? Are there only so few people who died in this territory? Maybe the rest are hiding somewhere else?" Turk shook his head. "No, didn't Samantha just say that? It takes the same number of days as your own age to become an undead creature after death. Therefore, assuming that people in this territory died twenty days ago, then only two Corpses under the age of ten will get up. Others should not get up, because we have taken back the holy emblem." Carl frowned, nodding in agreement. "That number should be right. So, folks, let's lean over and see." We start running again.But this time we were all careful not to make too much noise.As we got closer to the hill, the commotion gradually started to come. After a while, we reached the back of the house at the bottom of the hill.It's creepy to look over the hill!Samantha groaned: "Derferi..." Three hundred zombies were so densely packed that the hill turned black.There are rotting corpses everywhere.His gray skin was covered with clods of dirt and falling hair.The hair wafted on the wind with an awful stench that was sickening. "Hey hey hey..." "Galala la la la..." With a screech that didn't sound like a human voice, they headed for the top of the hill.The way zombies move forward is different from humans, they only know how to move forward blindly.If they are blocked by something, they will not go around, but find a way to climb up, and if they roll down, they will be stepped on by the guy behind.They look like a large swarm of ants.There is not even a gap between the zombies and the zombies can only be seen moving forward blindly.They piled on top of each other to form a huge mountain, and even the temple was blocked from sight by them.They just ran desperately towards the temple, not paying attention to us at all.But it could also be because we're hiding behind the wall. "Those guys, if you don't care about them, they will trample and squeeze each other, right? Maybe the bottom one will be crushed into powder?" Claire bared her teeth and spoke cruelly, but Samantha shook her head. "It's impossible for Adeline to stop them all the time! Because you can't just count the strength of these zombies, but also their weight! If it's you, Claire, can you block the weight of 300 zombies?" Claire gritted her teeth. At this moment, Ferrell stood up.Ferrer looked around, then started walking towards a two-story building behind our hidden house.We couldn't figure out why, and wanted to follow, but Ferrer immediately shook his head at us. "Please don't come in. It's dangerous. If you're locked in, there's no way to escape." "Wait a minute! Then why are you going in?" Turk asked anxiously, while Ferrell smiled slightly. "I'll be out soon. Please get ready." Ferrer just disappeared.We waited suspiciously.After a while, Shan Sen pulled my arm.Shan Sen raised his finger and pointed upwards. I looked up and found Ferrell sticking out of the window on the second floor and stretching his hands forward.He closed his eyes and muttered something, seemingly casting a spell. "Fireball!" (Fireball!) A huge fireball appeared!This was the kind of magic that Alvned had used.The huge fireball created in Ferrell's chest flew over our heads and flew towards the mass of zombies.The zombies piled up into a mountain had no way to hide and were hit directly.The fireball coolly hits right in the middle of the zombie mountain. Crash!Bang Bang!It's on fire!The zombie mountain started to catch fire.The zombies let out frantic screams while they were on fire, and began to scatter. "Gah hey hey hey hey!" "Ahhhhhhhh!" But that mountain of zombies is simply too high.The guys on the top were all on fire, but as soon as they dispersed, we saw that the other zombies that had been crushed underneath were unharmed.They changed direction in unison and started walking towards us.But because most of them are entangled, they can't move smoothly for a while.It turned out that the first ones to run to us were the burning zombies. "Ahhhhhhh!" The burning zombie ran forward desperately, the flames on its body flying backwards.Their arms flap around like beautiful wings of fire.Do they want to fly? "attack!" The moment Shan Sen yelled, Turk grabbed his hand.Turk said anxiously: "Back back, back up slowly! Ferrer won't be able to use magic if we mix with zombies." We really started to slowly go backwards.Ah, this is horrible.Burning zombies are running towards us, but we can only back away slowly.I really want to turn around and start dashing.However, Iluli didn't move at all.She lowered her head and began to cast her magic. "Grease!" (Grease!) The zombies running over suddenly started to slip on their feet.The way they fell on all fours looked really funny.Because they were running and couldn't stop for a while, they tripped over the same kind that had fallen to the ground in front of them.In an instant, another mountain of zombies appeared before our eyes.This was an easy target, and Ferrer on the second floor shouted again: "Fireball!" (Fireball!) The fireball directly hits the piles of zombies.boom! The explosion was deafening.The flesh of the zombies shot out mixed with the flames.disgusting!They are like a burning pyre, and for a moment the flames go up to the sky.I would love to turn my eyes elsewhere.Ferrell yelled, "Can't see the front!" Turk nodded and shouted: "Come down quickly! Also, warriors with weapons come with me! Miss Iluli will help us with Ferrer in the back!" Ellie nodded.Shansen, Claire and I followed Turk, bypassing the fiery zombie 'pile' and rushing towards the hill.The hills came into view again.Although two fireballs have just been shot, there are still a lot of zombies left.Turk yelled: "We're going to lure them to where Ferrell and Iluli can cast spells on them. Slowly run to the left!" We ran to the left and started teasing the zombies.Claire swung the half-moon knife in the air a few times and shouted: "Hey, hey! Over here, if you have the guts, jump over here!" Shan Sen also acted like he was not easy to mess with.He glanced at Claire, then put the long sword back into its sheath, folded his arms across his chest, and just stretched out his hand, moving his fingers there. "Hey, the meal is ready!" He is really brave.Although I wanted to scold Shan Sen, Claire's face turned blue and red, and she also took back the half-moon knife, and began to hug her chest.Turk looked at it and made an expression that seemed speechless. "Ahhhhh!" When those zombies saw us, they all started rushing towards us.Turk and I backed away quietly, but Shan Sen and Claire stood still.I really can't stand it anymore!The two of them squinted at each other, as if they didn't want to run away even if they died.But looking closely at their legs, I saw that they were actually shaking.Turk looked at their backs, but couldn't help it!he yelled: "Xiu Qi, leave them alone, run!" As soon as he finished shouting, Shan Sen and Claire turned and ran back in panic.This scene is really spectacular, spectacular! We started running like hell.But if you want to lure zombies, you still have to sneak a look behind and wave at them occasionally.Zombies cannot run fast because their bodies have decayed.But seeing a horde of zombies coming in like a tidal wave still makes my hair stand on end with horror.The sound of their footsteps alone seemed to deafen me, and they began to cry out in their decayed voices: "Gualala!" "Ahhhhh!" We started running around the hill.The zombies that were on the hill started running to our right.Now we simply cannot stop.We ran so hard that we couldn't breathe.We're starting to think it's no joke.But at this very moment, "Under that breath, life floats, you who see everything and belong to nothing, you who sing the praises of eternal life through destruction, the power that cannot exist without destruction! Please stand for this contradictory law of heaven Let's dance!" Lie!There was a strange sound, and we turned to look back.As a result, it froze on the spot. It was a whirlwind of fire, a curtain of fire! Like a curtain, a flame began to rise behind the zombies.The sky behind was completely covered!The flame drew a huge parabola, attacked the zombies chasing us downwards, and began to dance among the zombies.What a wave of fire!The zombies started screaming as if they were being sucked in by the waves.Claire's eyes widened. "Huh? Huh? Ferrer actually knows how to use this kind of magic?" Shan Sen retorted on the spot. "It's used by Iluli! It's a fairy art, isn't it cool? Huh? So, Xiu Qi? What is that? "What does it matter? Don't you run for your life? Do you want to swim in the sea of ​​fire?" It seems that at this time, Claire and Shan Sen suddenly became more conscious.Like a wave, the flames that swept over the zombies continued to move rapidly in our direction.Hurrah.Shansen and Claire started running desperately and shouted loudly: "Wow ah ah ah!" But Turk didn't run away.He pointed to the front and said to me: "Look at that. That's really..." The great wave of fire did not move to us.It started to turn around wildly.Swirl, oh my god, that's a swirl!The fire vortex began to suck the zombies into it.The huge fire vortex turned into a tornado and began to rise into the sky.Zombies, like dust caught in a tornado, also began to rise.Clap clap clap clap! "Ah... I actually saw such a spectacular scene!" Turk let out a moan-like exclamation.His face was reddened by the fire. Ahead of us, a fire tornado about thirty cubits in diameter was rolling upwards, as if to pierce the sky.Its lower end also gradually leaves the ground.As a result, the whole spinning fire flew into the sky like this.Shua la la la la!We stared until it disappeared into the distant horizon.In the end the fire tornado was too small to be seen. When he came back to his senses and looked down, the soil on the ground had swirl marks of being scorched.Iluli walked slowly from the opposite side.Behind her, Ferrell, Carl, and Samantha, like us, are looking up at the sky. Iluli walked carefully across the charred ground.Every time she took a step, some ashes would fly up.We stared blankly at her walking until she stopped in front of us. "Are you all right?"
We walked feebly up the hill.Me, Shan Sen, Ferrer, and Turk were running all the way just now, so we were all exhausted. However, the terrifying and amazing scene we just saw made people feel weak. "What's that? Although I don't know much about fairy arts, I haven't even seen what happened just now, and I haven't even heard of it." Ferrer asked exactly what I wanted to ask in very succinct terms.Ellie replied: "It's just adding the power of the fire essence to the wind essence." Ferrer's face said 'I'm so surprised! 'These words are similar. "Yes, can you do this?" "Of course you can. Otherwise, how is the fireball magic used?" "Huh? Ah, that's..." "Isn't that the way to reconcile the 'different forces'? Concentrate the mana and suppress it until the critical point. At the moment of the critical point, distribute the mana according to the orbit of the energy center." "It's not so much an 'extraordinary force', but rather a difference in the way of movement. The alpha series will change according to the energy center of the fire. Mana is concentrated and suppressed at this moment..." Those of us who don't know magic and only know how to use weapons are really miserable.Me, Shan Sen, Turk, and Claire looked at the sky, the toes, the halberd we were holding, and the palms of our hands.Ferrer continued to say some things to let us ducks listen to Lei. Iluli nodded, then glanced at us, and said with a smile: "So it is not difficult to make different forces act at the same time. It is very simple? Kinetic energy and gravity act on the object at the same time, won't it draw a parabola? So when a skilled archer wants to shoot a distant target, Instead of aiming directly at the bullseye, it's a little bit upwards." Hmm, I can kind of understand this.Claire seemed to think that being able to understand Iruri's words was a great thing, so she nodded desperately.Shan Sen also nodded and said: "Yes, that's right. You can't shoot straight." At this time, Ferrer interrupted again. "But aren't fairies semi-intelligent? Shouldn't they be non-intelligent like Mana?" The soldiers immediately fell silent again.Eluli replied: "Because I am an elf who follows Ubinie's law." "Ah! So, it's impossible for humans to do it?" "Well, I don't know if a human elf warlock can do it. Because I'm not a human, I can't experience the sympathy between humans and elves." Ferrer nodded. We soldiers saw it, and for some reason, we suddenly felt very relieved, although we couldn't understand it at all.Whether it's theology or magic, it doesn't seem to suit my taste.At this moment, Samantha looked up the hill, waved her arms and shouted: "Yes, we're fine!" I looked up the hill, and it turned out that Adeline had already come out from the main entrance of the temple, waving at us.But Eluli frowned. "Her expression is weird?" Iluli seemed to be able to see Adeline's face.At this moment Adeline's shout came indistinctly. "Su is gone!"
