Under a bleak full moon, a gloomy ancient castle stood.
On both sides of the road leading to the castle, crosses were erected every few meters, with shriveled female corpses nailed to them!
A group of crows stopped on the cross, stared at Zhang Ze and others, and made strange cries of "wow", seeming to laugh at them.
Moonlight Rabbit saw the female corpse on a cross next to her, her eyes widened like a dead fish, and her open mouth seemed to let out a silent scream.
Wow…
Suddenly, several big black and fat insects crawled out of the female corpse's mouth, and then got into the ear holes.
"vomit……"
Moonlight Bunny felt like his stomach was churning, and he almost vomited.
"Who did this? It's so cruel!"
The giant god also frowned. It was obvious that these women should have been forcibly nailed to the cross while they were still alive and died after suffering so much pain.
"No need to ask, it must have been that bastard witch who did it!" The irritable Dragon King clenched the iron rod in his hand, "It's so abominable!"
Liu Yueying said with some worry: "The old hunter's little granddaughter...could she have been killed?"
"Probably not." Zhang Ze shook his head and said: "Since this is a mission, Winnie must still be alive, otherwise this mission will be meaningless."
"But we can't delay too much. Who knows if there is a time limit for this task." Shan Dao said emotionlessly: "We'd better seize the time and rescue people as soon as possible."
So, everyone immediately set off on the road to the castle.
"Brother Rakshasa, I'm so scared!" Moonlight Rabbit didn't dare to look at the female corpse on both sides of the road, so he had to bury his head in Zhang Ze's back.
Zhang Ze smiled and said: "Don't be afraid, these are mummies and will not attack us... huh?"
As soon as he finished speaking, suddenly, from the corner of his eye, he saw the eyeballs of a female corpse seem to move!
"what's the situation?"
Zhang Ze immediately turned around and found that the female body had not changed.
"Could it be...that I'm dazzled?" Zhang Ze muttered in his heart.
The group of people continued to move forward. When they passed by crosses, the eyes of the female corpses nailed on them would slowly turn at their backs.
Little Princess Qian whispered to Yiye Zhiqiu next to her: "I feel something is wrong. Those female corpses seem to have been looking at us!"
Yiye Zhiqiu also looked solemn: "I felt it too, but when I looked over, nothing changed."
Yao Guang, who was next to him, also interjected: "Have you discovered it too? Will these female corpses transform into corpses?"
"It's hard to say... This is a demonic realm, and anything can happen." The giant god said in a deep voice, "Anyway, everyone should be careful."
Everyone walked forward for a while, and the melancholy of the sky suddenly said: "Strange, why do I hear so many footsteps? There are only a dozen of us, but I feel like there are dozens of people walking!"
"I heard it too!" Xiaoniaoyiren also nodded repeatedly and said nervously: "What's going on? Is there someone following us?"
At this point, everyone turned around, only to find that there was no one behind them.
"What's going on?" Hangzui looked confused, "I heard footsteps behind me, but I couldn't see anyone..."
As he said that, he suddenly raised his head and his eyes suddenly widened: "Fuck! On the cross!"
Everyone looked up and saw dozens of female corpses "hanging" densely on the crosses on both sides, smiling horribly at them!
"Do it!"
Zhang Ze roared, bent his bow and shot at one of the female corpses!
Snapped!
-5711! (Rakshasa)
The arrow accurately hit the female corpse between the eyebrows. The female corpse fell directly from the cross and fell heavily to the ground.
When the female corpses were attacked, they immediately let out shrill howls and rushed towards Zhang Ze and others!
The giant god struck with his shield and slapped a female corpse on the ground, protecting the little bird Yiren and Moonlight Rabbit as they retreated.
The furious Dragon King and Liu Yueying were already fighting hand to hand with the female corpses.
On the other side, all long-range professions launched attacks.
Yaoguang's [Fire Feather] and Yiye Zhiqiu's [Ice Wind and Rain], more than a dozen female corpses were engulfed by ice or flames
The Moonlight Rabbit poked his little head out from behind the giant god's shield, aimed at the female corpse and fired one after another.
Hangzui controlled his spiritual power ball and knocked away the two female corpses approaching from the flanks.
Although the female corpses were terrifying and numerous, everyone felt that these female corpses were easy to deal with. After a fierce battle, all the female corpses were eliminated.
"These female corpses should be monsters, they are too easy to deal with."
Little Princess Qian walked up to one of the female corpses and said, "But it's so strange, why didn't these female corpses drop any rewards?"
Logically speaking, humanoid monsters will usually drop rewards, and at worst there will be some magic soul balls.
That's why the little princess of money felt strange.
"Jiejie..."
Suddenly, the eyes of the female corpse on the ground turned and she looked into the eyes of the little princess Qian. At the same time, she burst into a weird laugh!
"Mom!"
The little princess Qian jumped up in fright, then fled back behind the giant god's shield like the wind, pointed at the female corpse and shouted in horror: "She...she is still alive!"
Everyone was shocked. At this time, the other female corpses got up one by one and forced themselves towards Zhang Ze and others again!
"What's going on? Will these female corpses be resurrected?" Yiye Zhiqiu asked in surprise, "Or do they have an 'immortal' state?"
"Impossible, they don't have any status marks on their heads." Zhang Ze shook his head and said: "Anyway, let's destroy them first!"
Helpless, everyone had no choice but to join the battle again.
Ten minutes later, all the female corpses were eliminated, but their bodies did not disappear.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Ze's heart sank.
Under normal circumstances, after the monster dies, the body will disappear after a while.
And the corpses of these female corpses still exist, which means that these female corpses will be resurrected!
Sure enough, the female corpses came to life again in a blink of an eye, and rushed towards them with their teeth and claws open.
"What the hell!" The furious Dragon King swung the iron rod and knocked the two female corpses away, cursing: "Beat them once and resurrect them again, it's endless!"
Yao Guang also looked troubled and said: "Although my fire magic can kill these female corpses, it can't destroy their corpses. What a hell!"
The corpse cannot be destroyed and will be resurrected next time.
"So, what is the reason for the resurrection of these female corpses?" Xiaoniaoyiren used [Gravity Suppression] to suppress the three female corpses, retreated to Yiye Zhiqiu and asked: "Guide, please think of a solution quickly!"
Yiye Zhiqiu was also at a loss: "This level is a special type of demonic realm. Every adventurer encounters a different situation. We cannot learn from other people's strategies and can only rely on ourselves."
Zhang Ze called Clay Zhang Ze out, helped him deal with a female corpse, and then asked Clay Zhang Ze: "Has the female corpse entered your summoning space?"
"No, Master." Clay Zhang Ze replied respectfully.
Zhang Ze narrowed his eyes. Since the female corpse did not become the follower of clay Zhang Ze, it means that it is not the original body, and the real monster is someone else!
"Where is the monster's body?"
Zhang Ze looked around, looking for clues.
Suddenly, through the moonlight, he discovered that the heads of the female corpses were connected with a thin thread, and the other end of the thread stretched into the night sky, and he didn't know where it led.
"Could it be..."
Zhang Ze replaced his bow and arrow, equipped himself with a golden sword, and cut off the filament with one stroke.
Immediately afterwards, the female corpse was quickly turned into ashes and disappeared.
"It seems right!" Zhang Ze was overjoyed, "The filaments are the key to the resurrection of female corpses. Someone is controlling these female corpses behind the scenes!"
So he immediately shouted to everyone: "Everyone, pay attention. There is a thin thread on the head of the female corpse. If it is broken, the female corpse cannot be resurrected!"
After everyone heard this, they immediately followed Zhang Ze's words and gave up attacking the witches, and instead attacked the silk threads above their heads.
Soon, the silk threads on the heads of all the female corpses were cut off, and the female corpses turned into ashes under the eyes of everyone.
"Victory!"
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Although these female corpses were not difficult to kill, it was still very troublesome to kill them.
Yiye Zhiqiu looked up at the night sky and asked curiously: "Who is controlling these threads?"
"I don't know, but I think that guy should be in the castle." He moved his knife and turned his head to look at the distant castle that was swallowed up by darkness.
After everyone rested for a while, they continued on their journey. There was still a long way to go before they reached the castle.
Based on the lesson learned last time, every time we passed a cross, we would cut off the silk thread nailed to the top of the female corpse.
In this way, no female corpse would be resurrected to attack them.
Finally, the group arrived under the castle.
The castle gate was in dilapidated condition, and one of the doors was still on the ground. It seemed that no one had lived in this castle for a long time.
Passing through the gate, the group entered the hall on the first floor of the castle.
It was pitch dark in the hall. For safety reasons, everyone had to stop temporarily.
"There are torches here."
Hangzui saw torches hanging on the wall, and immediately took a few down, letting Yaoguang light them with fireballs, and then distributed them to everyone to illuminate.
Suddenly, the dark castle hall was illuminated by the light of torches.
"Fuck!"
After the irritable Dragon King saw the scene in front of him clearly, he couldn't help but curse!
I saw a huge pool in the center of the hall, but there was no water in the pool, but shriveled corpses!
A pungent rancid smell rushed into everyone's noses, making people nauseous.
Everyone's expressions were not good-looking, except for the man who had gone under the knife and had a calm expression. He walked to the side of the pool, squatted down and carefully identified them, and said: "There are women's corpses here, and all the blood has been drained!"
Hangzui was a little surprised and asked: "Buqing, how do you know this?"
"Because I'm a professional." He stood up without emotion and said calmly: "I used to be a forensic doctor and dealt with dead people every day."
"I'm telling you, it turns out you are a forensic doctor!" Little Princess Qian was also very surprised and said, "No wonder you don't change your face even when you see the disgusting corpse. But..."
She asked doubtfully: "I heard that the salary of a forensic doctor is not low. How could you be so miserable that you can't even afford the medical expenses?"
"...I didn't work as a forensic doctor for long, and then I resigned." Shandao Bubu responded casually, as if he didn't want to talk more.
Everyone refocused their attention on the female corpse in the pool in front of them.
"What are you trying to do by gathering all the female corpses here?" The giant god asked doubtfully, "Could it be that this is some kind of mysterious and evil ritual?"
"No……"
Zhang Ze's eyes suddenly widened and his face became solemn: "It's not an evil ritual. These limbs are the same as those of the female corpses before. Someone is controlling them behind the scenes!"
In Zhang Ze's field of vision, the top of the pool was covered with countless densely packed thin lines, each of which was connected to a corpse.
These thin lines are extremely difficult to see with the naked eye, and Zhang Ze also relied on his extraordinary sense to sense their existence.
Everyone heard the words and carefully identified them, and sure enough they found these thin lines!
"Let me destroy these threads!"
Liu Yueying's face was gloomy. Someone actually brutalized a woman in this way, which made her extremely angry deep in her heart, and her murderous intention radiated out without concealment.
brush!
Liu Yueying drew the knife with one hand, and a white light flew out sideways in an instant!
The target is those thin threads, she wants to cut off the mastermind's control over these corpses.
Sudden!
Countless black shadows flew out of the pool, it was those female corpses!
They faced Liu Yueying's blade, opened their arms, and actually tried to use their bodies to prevent the blade from attacking the thin line!
Swish, brush, brush!
Bang bang bang!
But they were only flesh and blood, unable to stop the blade's attack, and were instantly cut in half!
But because there were too many female corpses, the first batch was split open, and the second batch was added, then the third batch, the fourth batch, the fifth batch...
Until the blade attack was weakened by waves of corpses, and finally dissipated.
Everyone in the audience was shocked when they saw this scene, and then heard a woman's laughter ringing above their heads.
"Hahaha! Welcome to my castle, adventurers!"
Everyone looked up and saw a woman in a black evening dress standing in the air. She looked down at everyone, but her originally beautiful face became extremely ferocious!
"It's a witch!"
Moonlight Bunny exclaimed. She immediately raised her gun and aimed at the witch. As a result, a system prompt appeared in her field of vision: "Out of range."
Several other long-range attackers also discovered the same problem and had no choice but to put down their weapons.
"A bunch of idiots!" the witch said with a look of contempt on her face: "I am hundreds of meters above the ground, and your attacks can't even reach me. Unless you have wings and can fly up!"
Zhang Ze snorted and said, "We don't have wings, but I do have a flying black dragon here!"
After that, he thought, and the Dark Dragon King appeared in the hall!
"Roar!"
The Dark Dragon King roared up to the sky. Its body was too huge and its wings spread out, almost filling the entire hall.
"Black dragon!" This time it was the witch's turn to be extremely surprised: "You can actually tame the proud black dragon! How is this possible?"
"There are so many impossible things!" Zhang Ze turned over and rode on the back of the Dark Dragon King. The others also climbed up one after another. Zhang Ze slapped the Dark Dragon King on the big head: "Fly up and kill the witch!"
call!
The Dark Dragon King flapped its wings and flew straight towards the witch floating in the air. At the same time, it opened its mouth and a [Fire Dragon Breath] spurted out!
