Before a corpse has rotted too much, if it happens to encounter some magic influence, it will become a zombie crawling out of the grave. The zombie has no consciousness before it was alive, and will only instinctively attack all living things.Therefore, most of the ethnic groups living in the north have developed the custom of cremation in order to let the dead get real peace.In the warm and humid south, people still maintain the habit of burial because corpses decompose quickly. Even if zombies do appear, they are not as dangerous as a wild dog. Farmers just use hoes and pitchforks to knock them down on the ground and burn them as firewood. , Their threat is mainly to spread the disease through their rotting bodies. If you are scratched or bitten by a zombie, you must clean the wound carefully to avoid infection. —— "Encyclopedia of Feinuo Continent Undead Creatures"

Evandel followed Palos back to the hall, and saw that the soldiers who were kneeling neatly on the ground were besieging Basil and Kent frantically.

In order to reduce the load, the Templars did not bring shields this trip, but only brought long swords. Their swords are longer than ordinary one-handed swords, and the hilts can be held with both hands when necessary, but Kent can only With a sword in one hand and a sphere engraved with dark red runes tightly in the other hand, it was quite hard to resist, and Palos immediately rushed over to block a spear for him.

The current situation is very strange. The chandelier in the hall is shaking from side to side, and the flame of the candle has started to burn again. The swaying light and shadow reflect the chaotic scene in the hall. The three Templars are besieged by a group of soldiers. He didn't suffer any injuries for the time being, but he couldn't break through at all.

The soldiers attacked crazily, even if they were stabbed or chopped, they would not flinch. The unarmed nobles around them didn't want any dignity and demeanor. Even those who were holding children threw the struggling children away On one side, he rushed forward and bit his teeth, ignoring that such an attack was useless against a Templar in full body armor.

Basil shouted: "What's going on, aren't they dead?"

"They are indeed dead!" Evandel pushed down a lamp post to block several nobles who rushed towards him, "They are already zombies, use the holy words of exorcism to deal with them, quickly!"

The Templars felt a little unbelievable. After all, the zombies they had seen were stiff and corrupt corpses or even skeletons. They had never seen such a living person, and even the cut wounds would bleed.

Palos was the first to start reciting the holy words of exorcism, unexpectedly it was effective, some of the surrounding zombies fell limply, and some were still struggling to bite his greaves, Palos kicked the hugging away. Hold his undead, and pull Avandel, who cannot cast spells, behind him to protect him.

"Go, go, get out of here!" Evandel pushed him.

Relying on the holy words of exorcism, they fought a bloody path among the dense zombies, and fled out of the hall in embarrassment. Behind them, the zombies who fell because of the holy words of exorcism stood up staggeringly.

At the place where they came in, Evandel read the ancient language again.

The three of them returned to the statue in the ruins in an instant, panting in shock. Those zombies that were no different from living people were more creepy than ordinary undead creatures, and even made the screaming ghosts around them look cute.

Basil gasped and asked, "...how could this be?"

"I don't know, maybe it's because you took away the life ball and broke the balance of magic power, causing the time magic to fail." Evandel was actually not sure what caused it, but he didn't say a word about the magic power he got. s things.

Kent hugged the ball of life tightly, his face was as pale as a piece of paper, and Palos found that he was limping more severely when he walked: "Kent, do your feet hurt badly?"

"Now there is no way to stop and let me slowly recover from my injuries. I will go up first and then talk." Kent put the ball of life in the prepared bag, and limped and struggled to walk back.

While they were not paying attention, Evandel took out a pair of deerskin gloves from his bag and put them on to cover the rune-shaped burn marks on the back of his hands.

Palos quickly shifted his attention to the mage, and unexpectedly noticed this detail: "You still wear gloves?"

"Of course." Evandel said naturally, "I don't want to grind my fingers while climbing later."

"Are you going to climb by yourself?" Palos was worried that the mage's left hand would not be able to use his strength. It might not be that difficult to climb down, but it would be very difficult to climb up, and now he is within the range of the holy words of exorcism. Unable to cast spells, he suggested, "Why don't I carry you on my back."

In fact, he regretted his rashness a little after he finished speaking, but he didn't expect that the mage didn't refuse: "Okay, then I'll leave it to you."

Since the other party is willing to carry him, Evandel is also happy not to force it, because he really can't climb up, not only because of his lack of strength in his left hand, but also because of the severe pain caused when the secret wheel was carved into his skin just now , making his fingers tremble even now.

Kent also couldn't climb up. His physical strength was no longer what it used to be, and his sprained foot was so painful that he couldn't exert his strength at all. So in the end, Basil climbed on the top with Kent on his back, and Palos carried Avondel on his back. The following situation.

Palos knew that he shouldn't be distracted at this time, but the mage's warm breath spit in his ear, which made Palos' cheek temperature rise again.

He could only use his rationality to stop himself from thinking wildly. Anyway, as long as he left the underground labyrinth, they should not meet again. These sinful thoughts that shouldn't have would only become the dusty secrets in his heart forever.

He is now more eager to get out of here.

When they climbed up the cliff with the ropes, the surrounding fog gradually faded, and they only needed to climb a little further to reach the place where the gray dwarves had dug the stone steps. Palos heaved a sigh of relief and accelerated his climbing speed .

Basil slowed down, as if he was exhausted.

Kent, who was lying on his back, obviously felt that he was a little powerless, so he said: "If you are tired, take a rest for a while, let Palos go up first, and bring the rope down to pull you, don't force it."

Basil stopped to take a breath, then gritted his teeth suddenly: "No need!"

He kicked his feet hard, and jumped up, trying to reach a rock crevice that was a little far away.

He reached it, but didn't catch it. As a result, his feet slipped, and he lost his center of gravity and fell down with Kent on his back.

Palos was already very close to him. Seeing the two fall, he forgot that their waists were connected by a rope in a hurry. He instinctively stretched out his right hand and grabbed the shoulder on Kent's armor. bring.

However, his left hand barely hooked a relatively shallow rock crevice, and it was already a little bit reluctant to bear the weight of two people, not to mention the weight of four people plus the force of falling. Being able to grab Kent and Basil, even his own fingers slipped off, and he fell with Evandel.

Evandel was still distracted thinking about what Sharma said to him, but one inattention turned into this situation, the four of them fell in a ball, all the torches were extinguished, and only the whistling sound could be heard. The sound of the wind, the screams of the ghosts, the screams of the Templars, and Natalie's panicked chirping.

He yelled: "Stop the exorcism, do you want to fall to your death? Stop!"

While talking, they had already fallen for an unknown distance, and the ghosts of the White Tower City and the gap were thrown far above. The Templars stopped the holy words of exorcism belatedly. Float.

Normally, the levitation technique, which could make him as light as a feather, is obviously not enough when there are three heavily armed Templars hanging on him, they just slowed down a bit.

It was too late for the mage to untie the safety rope tied around his waist. Before he had time to think about other countermeasures, the four of them fell into the water together.

They had already fallen to the bottom of the big fissure. Fortunately, the bottom of the big fissure had already been filled with groundwater, and fortunately, the floating technique still played a certain deceleration effect, so they didn't fall to their deaths. The mage was the first to emerge from the water. Swimming ashore, he angrily untied the rope around his waist.

The torch had fallen somewhere in the process of falling, and Evandel cast a light source spell, and the blue cold light illuminated the completely dark underground space.

There were ripples on the surface of the water. Due to the weight of the full body armor, the Templars could not swim at all, and sank to the bottom of the water like a stone. Fortunately, the bottom of the big chasm was a V-shaped slope, and they did not sink very deep. He ran into a rock on the slope, and hurriedly held his breath and climbed up.

The last Kent who came out of the water was pulled up by the other two Templar knights. He was spitting water almost collapsed, and struggled to climb to the shore. The mage suddenly called out: "Be careful!"

No one had time to react, the pitch-black water surface suddenly arched a big wave, a big white catfish popped out suddenly, opened its mouth bigger than its head, and swallowed Kent in one gulp.

Palos was shocked, and reached out to pull out the long sword at his waist, but the catfish turned around and dived into the deep water with a flick of its tail. The huge force pulled the ropes tied around the waists of the three Templars. The son brought both Palos and Basil to the ground.

The catfish was so powerful in the water, and the Templars couldn't even swim, and if they were dragged into the water, all three of them would be finished.Palos clawed his hands desperately, trying to grab something to fix himself, and when he turned his head, he saw Avandell casting a spell.

Kent had been swallowed whole, and only his two hands were still struggling around the catfish's mouth. The catfish just realized that it could not digest the metallic prey, and when it was about to spit it out, the mage's spell was completed , The catfish's tail including most of its body was suddenly frozen tightly by a huge lump of ice.
