Chapter 405 Lilia

"Hoo, hoo..."

As the setting sun slanted, a girl with short light purple hair was running slowly in the jungle out of breath.

She is petite and looks about fifteen or sixteen years old.The small part of her skin that was exposed was fair and delicate, and there was no calluses on her slender hands. The skin was so delicate that one would think it was emitting a slight halo at first glance.She was wearing a set of brown soft leather armor decorated with white fluff, her chest was slightly protruding, and the small animal skin boots on her feet were already stained.

A leather sheath hangs from her waist, but there is no sword in it.

While running away, the girl kept turning her head and looked back in fear. Her big amber eyes were full of fear, and they were already filled with tears at this moment, as if she would cry in the next moment.

At this moment, a wolf's howling sounded terribly behind her, and the girl stepped into the small pit in shock, her whole body suddenly tilted, and she fell heavily to the ground.

If she hadn't run out of strength, she would have been weak when running, and she would have been able to fly out with just one blow.

"Ugh..."

Feeling the severe pain from her right ankle, the girl finally choked uncontrollably like a wounded little animal.

While sobbing, she rolled herself into a ball on the ground, tried her best to suppress her crying, and stroked her sprained right ankle.

Lilia felt that her death was imminent.

I shouldn't have followed those "adventurers" who were not a few years older than me out of the house.

Because they said things like "Anyway, the White Wolf Cemetery is a safe area", "I have to come out to have a look once in a while", "Maybe we can find a treasure", and so on, Lilia was also moved.

Seeing that group of adventurers wearing handsome equipment and holding beautiful weapons, Lilim never thought that they were just trying to trick a trainee druid into accompanying them.

This group of young adventurers accidentally discovered the hidden mechanism of the White Wolf Cemetery, but they didn't want to tell the news to others.In their consciousness, all this is so similar to the beginning of the legendary stories sung by bards that they never thought about whether they have the ability to open up an unknown area.

In other words, just because it was the White Wolf Cemetery, they subconsciously ignored the possibility that there might be abnormalities here.

This is the tomb of the first Grand Duke. How could there be no Druids who blessed this place? With such a fluke mentality, the young adventurers gathered together vigorously and extended an invitation to Lilim.

Because of some strange sense of superiority, they didn't even recruit any stalkers.In the team of 12 people, apart from Lilia, an apprentice druid, there were only three hunters, and the rest were all fighters.

Among the twelve people, only one person is a black iron rank, eight are formal ranks, and the rest are novices who have not yet passed the assessment.No one in the entire adventure team knew any knowledge about how to disarm the traps. The dry food was only enough for one day, and they didn’t even have cold light torches. The only light source was three homemade torches made of firewood borrowed from the villagers.

When Lilia learned about this, it was already after entering that "secret place".She immediately realized the huge risk and tried to persuade the adventurers to go back and get ready to come again, but because some guy wandering around hit the mechanism, the heavy obsidian gate fell directly, and they were immediately engulfed by the darkness.

With no way out, in order not to starve to death, they could only go forward and explore in a tense atmosphere.

But it was different from what they imagined—in a short corridor, three people died tragically because of the trap.It was not even 5 minutes before they started their expedition.

That's when they started to crumble.

Although it was later reorganized, two people still lost their will and decided to wait at the entrance to call for help as someone passed by.The rest started to move on.

However, they soon discovered that the tunnel full of traps was just an appetizer.The monsters encountered later made Lilia almost collapse.

Groups of walking corpses, black mist in armor, phantoms of wolves, and that terrifying big wolf with a huge sword in its mouth.Lilia's group was killed without any decent resistance. Fortunately, Lilia's vines had found the exit and ran out with the last two.

The wolves and the giant wolf didn't seem to be able to catch up, but the walking corpses did catch up at a slow but steady speed.

After tentatively escaping, facing the powerful walking corpses who could not resist at all, the three of Lilia chose to flee separately.Scatter your goals, hoping that the walking corpses will follow you.

But such a decision seemed like a joke in front of those walking corpses.

Theoretically, walking corpses should judge enemies based on their vitality.That's why they ignore the undead.

Lilia still remembered that an adventurer thought of this rumor, so he took out a dagger and stabbed himself in the stomach, making himself weak quickly.

But those walking corpses seemed to have a will of their own, and walked over slowly mockingly, killing him who couldn't run mercilessly on the spot.

The following story is about Lilia's escape route alone.But she sadly found that no matter how far she ran, she could always see them dotting far behind when she turned her head.Those walking corpses drove Lilia slowly like sheep, waiting for her to run out of energy.

"Ugh..."

In this case, is there any point in escaping?
Lilia thought sadly, and after the pain in her feet eased slightly, she stood up slowly while supporting the tree.

She doesn't want to die yet.

Maybe she will be caught and eaten in the end... But as long as she still has a little strength, even if she has to walk, Lilia wants to delay her death, even if it is a second later.

Before falling into the pit, her left knee hit a piece of fine gravel, and even slipped a short distance due to inertia.Now her left leg is already covered with blood, and there are still a lot of sand and stones embedded in the flesh, stuck by blood and mucus.

Lilia didn't feel much pain.She only felt that every time she took a step, the wound on the knee of her left leg became slightly hot.In comparison, the ankle of the right foot hurts more. Even after a short rest, there will be bursts of pain when walking a little hurriedly.

Sobbing, she walked forward step by step while holding onto the tree.

But at this moment, she heard the crisp sound of trampling on a branch from a short distance behind her.

- It's over!
There is no doubt that because I walked too slowly, the walking corpse caught up!

The last thing Lilia could do was to turn around and see what the walking corpse that was about to kill her looked like.She didn't want to die in a daze.

But at this moment, a silver streamer flashed past her right, and Lilia didn't even realize what it was before.The walking corpse in front of her was suddenly burned to ashes by the silvery white flame.

As if enraged, more walking corpses made deep threatening sounds, and emerged from the jungle one by one.

However, a gentle and reassuring voice sounded behind Lilia:

"rest in peace--"
