Before this, Zhang Xiaohou had never felt that nightfall would be such a terrifying thing. As the setting sun gradually set, the peace in his heart was slowly dissipating, and the boundless fear and trembling were also here. Spread across the vast land...
"It's... going to be dark again." I don't know who said this, and everyone couldn't help but feel a spasm in their legs, as if countless dirty claws had hooked their feet.
"I hope we were just unlucky last time and found ourselves near a corpse pit," Shi Shaoju said.
"Everyone, be prepared. Don't think about being attacked by surprise like last time." Qin Hu warned.
The mountain to the south is very high, like a giant black dragon, lying a few kilometers to our left...
As we all face the west, we can see that the setting sun is like the needle of a clock, counting down the time for us. It is as red as blood, shining on the long Wolong Mountain not far away, and also on the path we are about to walk. On black soil.
I don't know when the darkness behind me has been shrouded in darkness, and there is a feeling that there is no way back. A certain rotten smell floats in the air under the gradually spreading death breath, which makes people feel sick.
I remember that when they first stepped here, they were still talking and laughing, and didn't take the little undead seriously. But now, no one spoke, and the footsteps of the eight people in the group were much heavier, and their hearts felt inexplicably. Start beating faster.
"Does the method the village chief said really work?" Wang Tong said still a little uneasy.
Village Chief Fang Gu told everyone that the undead do not track living creatures by sight. Many undead even have rotten heads and no eyes, but they can smell the location of living creatures...
The vision of the undead is very poor, especially the low-level undead. However, if a living creature walks by, the undead with a radius of hundreds of meters will seem to gather here. In fact, it is because they have the breath of humans.
Wherever the undead haunt, there must be death. The breath they exhale is also the breath of death.
The breath exhaled by living creatures is life, and scientifically speaking, most of it is carbon dioxide.
The undead have poor vision and average hearing, but they can sense the life wafting out from hundreds of meters away by exhaling death air. To them, the breath exhaled by living creatures is simply the scent of a meal, and they can smell it from a long distance away...
The undead are always hungry, and living creatures must breathe after all, so the nearby undead can easily "smell the fragrance and leave."
The only way to avoid the undead is to solve the problem of breathing.
Servant-level undead. Most of them are dull, and as long as the breath exhaled by a person is covered up or slightly processed, it is difficult to detect.
Warrior-level undead have strong senses of smell and hearing, but average vision. Therefore, if a warrior-level creature appears, they must not only solve the breathing problem, but also maintain absolute stillness...
"This thing looks like garlic. I don't know how unpalatable it is." said Bi Lu from the team.
"It's getting dark. Eat, no one will eat first!" Captain Qin Hu ordered.
Everyone followed the captain's instructions and quickly took out a crop that looked very similar to garlic, but was completely black.
This thing is called gray garlic, one of the few plants that can grow in the undead soil.
This plant is several times more palatable than garlic. After eating it, the smell of the breath is extremely foul, but the locals will carry a few with them to prevent accidents...
After eating this kind of gray garlic, the breath exhaled by a person will become stinky. It can cover up anger and make the undead mistakenly think that they are the same kind who haven't washed up after dark, so the undead will not chase after them.
In ancient times, it was said that garlic can ward off evil spirits, probably for this reason. Even if a ghost smells it, he won’t want to get close to you...
As soon as it started to get dark, everyone ate one each, and there was a sound of retching.
"Fuck, this tastes worse than shit!"
"Say it like you've eaten shit."
"It really tastes bad...let me puke for a while."
We are all military mages. We usually eat anything when we survive in the wild, but they all feel like vomiting after eating this kind of thing. It can be seen that this thing is really not for human consumption!
"Bear it all, if you don't want to die..."
"Captain, don't talk to me."
"Shh, don't make a sound!"
Shi Shaoju suddenly said to everyone with a vigilant look.
Everyone looked ugly, but all of a sudden they held their breath.
The soil began to loosen strangely, as if someone buried in the tomb was trying to crawl out, and the sound of knocking on the coffin boards could be clearly heard.
Everyone looked at each other and stared at their feet.
Suddenly, a head full of worms emerged from the soil! !
The hair is dry, half of the scalp is left, and the skull is shiny, which makes people feel terrified.
This head was right next to another female officer, Xiao Jing. Her whole face was so frightened that she was as pale as paper. She almost subconsciously wanted to draw a star map and smash this disgusting head to pieces, but Shi Shaoju who was beside her pressed the button fiercely. He stopped her and didn't let her do anything.
Shi Shaoju's approach was wise, because after this head, several half-skeleton heads popped out...
Within a few minutes, more and more rotting corpses and skeletons crawled out of the soil. They were bathed in darkness and breathing the air of death. If their eyes were more clear, they would be a group of living things!
The eight officers had completely turned into sculptures, and their heartbeats were beating violently, almost to the point of bursting.
Two skeletons crawled out from where Zhang Xiaohou was, just in front of and behind Wang Tong...
Zhang Xiaohou was so close that he could see the bone hole poked in the smooth back of the skull in front of him. It was obvious that this was a skull that had been stabbed to death by a sharp thorn.
He didn't dare to move, and his breathing stopped.
However, how could a person not breathe? Even if he could hold his breath for one minute, he would suffocate to death if he continued to hold his breath.
Finally, Zhang Xiaohou reached the limit of holding his breath, and he tried to exhale through his nose bit by bit...
"Kaka??"
With a sigh of anger, the skeleton in front turned its head sharply. Its eyes, which were glowing red, were staring straight at Zhang Xiaohou. The large rusty knife held tightly in its arm turned out to be... Lifted sign.
Zhang Xiaohou’s heart was pounding! !
These two skeletons are not scary. He can send them to the sky with a wind disk...
The problem is, there are at least a hundred undead in this land. It can be said that as long as he takes action, those undead will follow the magic waves and surround it! !
Zhang Xiaohou didn't dare to move, but he was holding his breath to the limit. He didn't know whether the gray garlic was really effective, not to mention that in this situation, few people could stay calm. There were all undead around, and they all knew how to do it. Dead things that chew living people into bones! ! (To be continued.)
