Demon Sage

v3 Chapter 74: ghost tide

The carriage was parked on the edge of a gravel path covered in dust. Donald's eyes stopped for a while on the weeds that had swept over the axle before turning his eyes to the ruined town in the distance.

The setting sun was nearly half below the farther horizon, and the remnants of the blood-colored sunset splashed on the strange and jagged buildings in the town.

There was a wind blowing in Orr, and some dust and sand and stones rolled up. After walking a few steps forward, the sound of a group of carrion crows fluttered their wings from a bush beside the road. Fly straight to the distance.

"I don't believe it if this place says it's okay."

Donald, who was barely able to cheer himself up, looked at the scene of the ruins in front of him, peeked at Lilo, who was eager to try, and said helplessly.

"If there is no problem, the government has already started to rebuild the town here, how can it be left idle and covered with weeds."

No matter what the foundation of this town is, although it has been uninhabited for nearly 20 years, the streets and buildings in the city will not collapse into dust because of this time. It's easier than finding a place to rebuild a city.

The government of Emerald County has ignored this place for so many years and regarded it as a forbidden area, there must be something tricky in it, there is no doubt about it.

"I have seen the description of this place in "Special Zone". This city was originally a medium-sized town with a population of about 80,000. However, due to the appearance of a special disease, the number of deaths in the entire town increased rapidly in a short period of time. The book says that at the beginning, Emerald County seemed to have sent quite a number of people here to carry out rescue operations, but less than one-third of the people who left in the end were sick. This disease will not spread to other towns and cause a larger epidemic, so choose to block the town.”

Anthony took out a brown-covered book from his backpack, flipped through a few pages, and found what he had accidentally turned to before.

The so-called blockade of the town, the government's statement is definitely for the safety of Emerald County, and in the town itself, it is enough to make one's whole body chill.

"I think we still need to think carefully. There is no doctor in our team and we don't know if there is any residual virus in that town. The mechanical mask on our hand has no function of filtering the virus. There is no cure at all, you can only go back to the nearest Comul, you don't want to go back to Comul, right?"

In a place with unknown dangers like this, going in without preparation was tantamount to risking his own life in Anthony's view.

What's more, even if they want to prepare now, they don't have the conditions. First of all, they only know some superficial information about the ruins of the epidemic, and they don't know anything about what happened inside.

Secondly, let alone cities nearby, because of the existence of epidemic ruins, there is not even a village. If you want to find someone nearby to ask about the situation, there is no chance. You can't make a special trip to other cities in Emerald County for this purpose. You must know that according to the map The above shows that it takes two days to ride a horse-drawn carriage in the nearest city. In addition to finding insiders and obtaining information, a back and forth may take at least a week.

They didn't come out for an outing

"I understand what you mean, and I also understand that the plague ruins are very dangerous, but now it's not that I want to go in, but Lilo wants to go in. She said that there are things in the plague ruins that strengthen her body. She woke me up with urgency before. You didn't see the appearance, to be honest, I can't stop her, and I'm not qualified to stop her."

He moved two steps to the side and sat on the stone next to him, raised his hand and kneaded his eyebrows. He was forced to wake up from a state of mental rest. At best, Donald's spirit has only recovered by about 50%, and he is still dizzy. He was bloated, and Lilo's situation gave him even more headaches.

If this high-level undead really didn't obey the command, would Donald still be able to forcibly stop her?

"Liluo wants to go in? Is it possible for her to take a break for a while? Maybe we can go back here after we finish the mission, and then we will have enough time to prepare."

When it came to Lilo, Anthony was a little surprised for a while. No wonder Donald suddenly turned the carriage and couldn't wait to come here. It turned out to be the request of the "big guy".

Ever since he knew that Lilo was a high-level undead and had rescued Donald many times, Anthony's impression of her was that of a hidden powerhouse.

Lilo has helped a lot along the way. It can be said that without her, the two of them would have fallen into a big trouble in the sewers of Corta. What is commendable is that she usually has no requirements at all, neither money nor money. No other oddities, as if lemonade and ice cream were enough.

However, it was precisely because of her lack of requests in the past that Donald and Anthony didn't know how to refuse on the premise of her first request.

This is also the reason why Donald said he was not qualified to refuse.

"Let me try?"

In the end, Donald could only ask Anthony with a tangled face.

Abandoning this place first, and then solving it after returning, just like how Donald treated Salazar, the holder of the power of destruction, this is undoubtedly the best choice at the moment.

Seeing that the setting sun was about to completely sink into the horizon, Donald knew that he couldn't continue dawdling here, so he could only bite the bullet and walk towards Lilo, who was standing beside the carriage, as if looking at the ruins ahead.

"Lilo, can we?"

"Come!"

Just as Donald was about to speak, Lilo suddenly uttered an obscure syllable in a deep voice. He could understand the meaning of the syllable, but he did not understand the meaning of Lilo's words.

Come?

Is this to let oneself pass?

"You said, I'm listening."

Leaning closer to Lilo, Donald simply spoke in Lilo's language.

Who knew that Liluo turned around and gave him a very surprised look at this moment, and said indifferently, "I'm not talking to you."

This is very embarrassing.

"Then who do you want to come over, and I'll call them?"

Since he's not talking to himself, he's talking to Anthony and the others. Although he doesn't know what Lilo wants to do with them, at least it's okay to send a message.

"They have come."

This time, the words appeared in Donald's mind again in the form of spiritual communication, and the latter subconsciously glanced at the few people behind him.

No one is walking this way.

In fact, their eyes were all focused on the location of the plague ruins.

"Donald, there seems to be some accident in the plague ruins."

Anthony raised his finger forward with a somewhat ugly face, and then said,

"Should I say our luck is too good or too bad?"

Stephanie and Julia didn't say a word, they took two steps and ran to Donald's side to pull his clothes, their faces turned pale.

"What happened, in the ruins of the plague"

Donald opened his mouth to look at the ruins in the distance, the words in his mouth stopped halfway, but he couldn't say anything in the second half.

About 500 meters away from the plague ruins, when the last ray of light left after the setting sun sank into the horizon dissipated, when the night fell, a large blue-green light spot suddenly lit up there, and was constantly moving towards them. side move.

When they got close, Donald only saw their true appearance, and then his whole body trembled lightly like electricity, and the scalp on the back of his head went numb involuntarily.

The translucent spiritual bodies of dark blue or light green, Donald knew their origins at a glance - ghosts.

But this number is too much

Thousands of ghosts are piling up densely, approaching them!

"Donald, I think I know why this place is a forbidden area. We have to go. It's too late to withdraw now!"

Facing such a huge wave of ghosts, Anthony prepared to retreat without thinking, and Stephanie and Julia didn't hesitate to board the carriage when they turned around.

"Is this what you called?"

Combining with the "come" that Lilo suddenly shouted before, Donald smacked his lips, and after a long time he sighed again,

"Your friend?"

As a high-level undead, Lilo had sensed the extremely strong death energy here even at a distance of several kilometers, so she forced Donald and the others to turn. She found these ghosts.

To be precise, it is the special energy that exists in these ghosts.

On the other hand, these ghosts who had been sleeping for a long time in the ruins of the plague were suddenly awakened by orders from the high-level undead~lightnovelpub.net~ appearing from the ruins is not to reminisce, but to bring this The alien undead who trespassed into their territory will be completely eliminated!

In terms of individual strength, they are not comparable to Lilo, so drown her with the ghost tide!

Most of the undead tide are ordinary human-shaped ghosts, with their hands stretched forward, their waists are blurred, and their faces are floating forward. Ling, as he walked forward, he grabbed the ghost beside him and kept filling his stomach, his figure still growing.

There are also some female ghosts floating in the air, their bodies are extra solid compared to other ghosts, and under them, there seems to be an extremely weird and twisted ghost collection, but most of them are covered by the bloated ghosts around. , can't see its true appearance.

唳~

As the distance got closer, a piercing scream erupted from the ghost tide, resounding through the entire wasteland nearby!

"They all have to die!"

Lilo didn't have any thoughts of backing down because of the intimidation from the opposite side, these were all materials she liked.

He pulled out the long sword from his waist, and the golden light burst into bloom. Then, regardless of Donald's reaction, he held the holy light weapon and galloped toward the ghost tide.

Limbs, chest, head, and a set of white bone armor emerged from the skin and quickly took shape.

Herod~

A white-boned warhorse rushed out of the ground beneath her feet, shaken off all the mud and sand, and became her car.

At this moment, Lilo seemed to have changed back to that high-level undead who was carrying out endless slaughter in the underworld.

Single sword and horse, a real "death" charge!
