Zhang Xiaohou's face turned pale.
He finally exhaled deeply. If he did not breathe, he would have fainted.
Meanwhile, the skeleton in front of him was staring at Zhang Xiaohou with a confused look, as if there was someone else behind it.
The skeleton lowered the rusty scimitar in its hand. It did not attack Zhang Xiaohou.
The one behind Zhang Xiaohou did not pay any attention to him. It wandered aimlessly in the vicinity. From time to time, it would glance at the black sky in the distance. From time to time, it would lower its head and search the soil for the arm bone it had dropped yesterday …
"Phew!"
At this time, Zhang Xiaohou finally let out a big sigh of relief. The other people's legs were trembling, and they almost fell to the ground.
The method was working!
The skeletons and zombies did not attack them. They were only looking at the humans with confused expressions. Unfortunately, they were just a bunch of undead that did not know how to think. They were not living creatures, so there was no need to attack them. What if they were smelly mud?
The captain, Qin Hu, raised his hand without saying a word. He signaled the team to maintain their formation and move forward.
The team soon regrouped. They were still cautious at first, as they were worried that something might go wrong. However, when they walked past the undead at such a close distance, they only let out cries to warn their comrades instead of lunging at them. As such, the team gradually relaxed.
"If we knew there was such a method, we wouldn't be afraid of the undead!" Wang Tong was obviously overjoyed.
"The Ash Garlic is considered a rare plant. It's most likely sold in the black market, but there aren't many of them. The village chief has already given us the 'vegetables' that they have stocked up on … "said Shi Shaoju.
"Either way, we just need to avoid fighting these undead. Once we find the corpses of the explorers, we can go back and submit the quest," said Bi Lu.
"It seems like we won't disturb them even if we talk."
The team realized that it was fine to talk. As long as their breath was covered by the smell of the garlic, the undead would not be able to detect them.
However, the further they went, the more shocked they became. On this land covered by a black curtain, they could see new undead after a few steps …
The density of the Undead far exceeded their initial estimation. There were at least one and a half Undead within a hundred square meters. It was frighteningly dense. If they were to use an electronic map to mark the area, it would be a bloody red!
As they walked, dozens of zombies suddenly appeared in front of them …
The zombies were so dense that they almost formed a human wall in front of everyone. They stood there and slowly dragged their bodies while letting out disgusting cries.
Until there was no living thing to activate their blood, they were slow, aimless, and truly walking corpses.
"Let's just walk over. They won't attack us anyway," Wang Tong smiled and walked at the front.
However, when Wang Tong was less than twenty meters away from them, the zombies suddenly turned around at the same time. Their eyes that had sunk deep into their rotten sockets suddenly turned red as they stared at Wang Tong …
Wang Tong was stunned!
"Uh! Ahh!! Ahhh!!!! "
The horde of zombies suddenly roared and pounced on Wang Tong.
The zombies chased after each other, producing a huge cloud of dust. The smell of death immediately spread across the place!
"Quick, eat the Ash Garlic!" yelled Shi Shaoju.
Luckily, Wang Tong reacted in time. He grabbed one of the Ash Garlic from his bag and swallowed it whole.
The effect of the Ash Garlic was extremely quick. Even Wang Tong's breath almost suffocated him.
The zombies had already arrived in front of Wang Tong, but they suddenly lost their target and came to a stop. They exchanged glances with one another, as if they were extremely stupid.
A moment later, the zombies even forgot why they were charging at Wang Tong in the first place. They continued to walk around aimlessly!
Wang Tong was standing right in the middle of the zombies. He was so scared that his pants were almost wet.
When everything calmed down, Wang Tong cursed, "This stinky thing only lasts for such a short time?"
"There aren't a lot of Ash Garlic, and it doesn't last for long either. It seems like we have to hurry up," said Shi Shaoju with a frown.
Since Wang Tong's time was up, it was time for the others to eat another Ash Garlic …
…
The moonlight was cold, hanging high up in the sky, witnessing the movements of death.
The ground was icy cold, yet restless. Every now and then, someone who had overslept would break out from the ground, like homeless scavengers.
When there were no living things to eat, the undead would pick up the things on the ground or dig into the ground. They were always able to find some broken limbs and bones. Once in a while, they would be able to dig up a pit, which was equivalent to finding a good property. After a few years of nourishment, they might even be able to evolve into an Undead …
The group had seen a lot of the 'human world' along the way, yet they could not understand how something like this could exist in this world for so long.
"BOOM!"
Suddenly, a wave of mud rose from the ground. The black mud rolled wildly in the night sky, looking extremely shocking under the moonlight.
There were some skeletons and tattered clothes in the mud, and the undead that were caught in the crossfire. It was a complete mess.
The sound shook the ground. Soon, a strong undead like an ox rose from the ground …
The undead was the first to crawl out from the ground. Its entire body was covered in hardened flesh, like an impenetrable armor.
Its four limbs were incomparably thick, and it was unknown what it was made of. It had a total of four arms, and two of them had already turned into blood-stained axes, while the other two were long sabers. If it were to swing them around, it would be like a mixing machine!
"It's the Hatchet Corpse General!" exclaimed Wang Tong.
"Did it follow us all the way here?"
"Or maybe we were still in its territory all along!"
When the eight of them saw this undead, they couldn't help but take a few steps back. Back then, they had almost been wiped out because of this Corpse General. Now, this big corpse had crawled out.
"Don't panic, don't panic, it noticed us after we ate the Ash Garlic … by the way, don't move, don't move. The chief mentioned that Warrior-level undead have a strong sense of hearing, and can tell if we're undead from our movements. Therefore, we just need to stay here, and we'll be fine," said Shi Shaoju to the group.
The group clearly remembered the chief's advice. They all turned into stone statues and stared at the Hatchet Corpse General in astonishment!
Zhang Xiaohou's gaze never left the undead. He noticed that the Corpse General's head was missing, but when he took a closer look, it did not seem like it had been chopped off by something.
The others also noticed that the Hatchet Corpse General was slightly different from before, but none of them dared to make a sound. Heavens knew if they would alert the Corpse General if they spoke.
"Gulp gulp."
It sounded like something was crawling out from the flesh.
A disproportionate head slowly drilled out from the corpse general's empty neck … …
The first thing that came into view was black threads stained with blood, which looked disgusting. The threads were scattered around the Corpse General's neck.
Following it was a head with a shape similar to a human's.
Finally …
The head turned a hundred and eighty degrees, revealing a face with disheveled hair. It was covered in blood, mucus, and a sinister look!
"Why … why … why did you abandon me!?" The head opened its mouth and uttered a grudgeful sentence.
The group felt like their scalps were about to explode upon seeing this!
