Demon Sage

v2 Chapter 71: The Undead Under the Crescent Moon (7/24

Stephanie chose to tell Donald about her problems before the team set off, which was better than waiting until the battle. *WwW.suimeng.lā

Calm down and think about it, it doesn't seem like a bad thing for Donald.

To know that Stephanie told him this alone was a sign of trust.

It's not that Stephanie was moved by Donald's actions in the past two days. In fact, it was a multiple-choice question.

There are five members of the Rose team except Stephanie. Boglo has never said a word to her so far. Horn has a record of abandoning his teammates, and Susanna is a staunch Horn supporter.

So the only people she could turn to for help were Pence and Donald.

The former may seem to have fallen into Stephanie's charm, but she is well aware of her talent, and this is only a temporary effect, and Burns will always have his own time, once he wakes up and finds the problem. , the situation is still irreversible.

In the end, only Donald was left, and Stephanie didn't want to expose her problems in the fight, so she had to turn to him.

At this time, the one facing the choice is Donald. Of course he can choose to ignore it. After all, Stephanie is self-inflicted, but doing so may cause a result.

Once Stephanie accidentally slips through luck in the later battle, then Donald will completely lose the possibility of winning her over.

Because at this moment, he chose to give up Stephanie, and the conflict between the two is likely to affect his subsequent actions to win over Pence.

Donald made a quick decision.

"Stephanie, I'll help you, but you can't hide anything from me next, I need to know your innate ability and some of your circumstances to wipe away your tears, since you don't want to be bullied again, Then you have to be tough and let everyone know that you are not to be messed with!"

Donald quickly thought about countermeasures, how to help Stephanie not reveal her personal strength in the next battle.

Ten minutes later, Donald returned to the police station with Stephanie, who had returned to normal. Several people in the team paid attention to them, but did not ask about their situation.

"I asked the sheriff here about what Donald said before, and he said it was because the case was over quickly, and there were only a few experienced police officers who witnessed it, so they didn't report it, and I couldn't remember the details. Clearly I'm not sure if he's telling the truth or a lie, but at the moment there's no reason for him to lie to us."

It is not easy to investigate the case two years ago now, and the temporary focus is not here, so Donald did not express any objection.

"Our plan now is to keep these police officers in Redwood Town. They have notified the townspeople outside to take refuge in the town. What we have to do is to clean up the undead outside and find the cause of these undead, according to the sheriff. According to their description, these undead creatures are currently gathered about a mile to the southeast of the town. We rode over there. The backyard of the police station is the stable, so we can bring more equipment. Does anyone have any comments?"

Simple plan, this mission seems to be an extermination mission at present. Horn Shelley showed the judgment that a captain should have. His eyes swept over the people present, and he stayed more on Burns, because those equipments were all Prepared by Pence.

No one refuted that Pence acquiesced to the plan without looking at Horn Shelley.

The group rode their horses and left the town of Redcliffe, following the dirt road that Donald saw when they came over in the evening.

The weather tonight is normal.

At the beginning of September, the moon was a new moon, the light was dim, and the old players in the team wore mechanical masks, so they should have been prepared before.

Donald has spiritual vision, and the dark night can't affect him, just to prevent Stephanie from looking awkward, so he also carried a whale oil searchlight in his hand.

After walking along the dirt road for about 10 minutes, Horn, who was at the front of the team, raised his hand to signal to stop.

"The undead will be sensitive to all living things, and the horses are too bulky and easily exposed, and then go on foot."

The horse was tied to a nearby tree, while Donald used the horse-calling whistle to put away the mud puppet, and the six gathered together.

"Suzanne, it's up to you."

"clear."

Susanna, who was instructed, formed a magic seal on the spot, wiped her right wrist with one hand, and the magic circle moved from bottom to top, and an owl with red eyes appeared out of thin air on her arm.

"Investigate, report!"

A short noun, and then the owl nodded in a very humane way, turned around and took off, and then Susannah summoned two squirrels in a similar way and released them, the communication animal that Donald told her at this time. And message detection is also understood.

Susanna is obviously also an auxiliary alien, but she just doesn't know how powerful she is.

"Intelligence gathering will take a while, my friends will find the undead."

While waiting, Donald looked at the bushes beside the dirt road and put Finger in his backpack.

The atmosphere of the team was a little dull. If nothing else happened, they would soon have to face double-digit undead creatures. This is a dangerous number, and this kind of foresight makes people nervous. The most affected is naturally Steffen. ni.

After she came out of the police station, she didn't say a word, just silently followed Donald's side. The same is true now, her face was pale, and the slightly gloomy environment around her made her very uncomfortable.

At this time, it is inappropriate to talk and comfort, and the teammates are all by the side.

Donald wasn't Stephanie's nanny, and he could help, but there were some dilemmas that she had to overcome on her own.

Goo~ Goo~

After a while, the hooting of owls came from the bushes in front of the dirt road.

"follow me."

Susannah quickly judged the direction, took the group off the dirt road, and plunged into the bushes. The autumn forest was full of fallen leaves, and there was a constant crunching sound when stepping on it. Donald held up the whale oil lamp, in fact, used his spiritual vision to see. the situation ahead.

goooo~

After walking a distance of about one or two hundred meters, the owl's voice sounded again.

"Prepare for battle, there are 5 undead creatures ahead."

At the same time as Susannah reminded, several moving shadows appeared in Donald's spiritual vision. Undead creatures had no vital signs, and Donald could only judge the location by the soul fire in their heads.

It was Horn and Burns who rushed forward first, followed by Borglo, Donald, Susan and Stephanie in the third tier.

roar~ roar!

The distance between the two sides is getting closer, and the undead creatures also feel the approaching life breath.

Under the moonlight, with a hatred of life, the skinny and shriveled corpses are advancing frantically, and their roars are one after another.

Horn and Burns were the first to fight, and the five undead creatures could be said to be heading straight for them.

However, it was not them who killed these undead creatures first, but Boglo. His crossbow bolts aimed at the undead creatures rushing in front of them early. Before it got close, the crossbow bolts soaked in holy water continued Hit its head with great precision.

The holy water burned the wounds of the undead, emitting a white mist. After eating the fifth bolt, an undead fell directly to the ground and turned into coke fragments.

crackle!

The purple magic circle flickered over the bushes, and the falling thunder instantly killed an undead creature.

"In this case, you don't have to rush to take action, just watch from the side."

Donald stood beside Stephanie and reminded.

There are only 5 undead creatures, and it seems that they are still the lowest class. They are even more prepared, and they are all dealt with in just one face-to-face.

The battle ended very quickly, Donald quickly stepped forward and used the siphon bone ring to absorb the soul energy that had not completely dissipated.

Glancing over the undead creatures on the ground that were not completely destroyed, Donald quickly noticed that their bodies were wrapped in clothing.

"These undead creatures are weak, and so are the ones behind the lowest hope."

Pence kicked the corpse on the ground and said.

If there were all such undead creatures, this mission would undoubtedly be much easier.

"Look at the clothes on these corpses. The police were right. They came from the cemetery in the town of Red Cliff. We have to go and see and find out the root cause of the transformation of these corpses into undead."

Compared with destroying these undead creatures that have been transformed, it is more important to find out the root cause, otherwise the situation will only continue to deteriorate as time goes on.

"The location of the cemetery is right in front. We take a shortcut and we can destroy the undead creatures we encounter along the way."

Susannah took out the map and simply compared the location, confirmed the route, and the group set off again.

This time, the pace is much faster. On the premise that these undead creatures are only transformed from ordinary people, they naturally have less concerns. The undead creatures encountered along the way are basically solved with long-range weapons, bullets filled with holy water and soaked Holy water's crossbow bolts, as long as you grasp the distance, are enough to deal with these guys.

Occasionally, those who rushed forward would fall down immediately in the siege of a few people~lightnovelpub.net~ rushed out of the bushes, and everyone came to a relatively narrow dirt road, and walked down it, the undead creatures they encountered along the way. The odds start to increase.

"It seems that the number of undead creatures has increased again. The two-digit number mentioned by the police, I think the previous one is definitely not 1."

There are more than 15 undead creatures encountered along the way, and they have just arrived near the cemetery.

"Here, the cemetery in Redcliffe Township."

"I have an ominous hunch, everyone should be careful, the existence here will definitely not welcome us."

In fact, it wasn't a hunch, but Donald saw the distribution of a large number of blue soul fires in the cemetery through his spiritual vision. At a cursory glance, the number was more than 10.

Go a little further.

At the end of the road, there are gravestones, the broken dead wandering in their resting places.
