Chapter 21 Conspiracy and Lightning Zombies
When they continued to move further down the road, they rediscovered some zombies moving directly towards them. They were obviously different from what they had encountered before. They didn't even have normal clothes on their bodies, their facial features were no longer visible, and their bodies were also distorted seriously. In addition to the overall appearance, they could barely be considered human figures, and it was difficult to see any human characteristics.
Marriott poses and dances Shura. A sharp cold light cuts at the neck of the closest zombie. A clanging sound seems to be chopping on a stone, but it is not completely cut off! The attacked zombie suddenly accelerates its speed several times and pounces on Marriott, but Marriott fails to pull Shura out. It is also a pity that he has experienced many battles and lets go of his hand in time and retreats.
He Ming Ningshuang waved, and his sword energy shot. With a clang, a beautiful assassination sword energy passed by, and finally cut off the zombie's neck. Although it was attacked by assassination swordsmanship, his wrists were numb and he suddenly became nervous.
Seeing the zombie being cut down, Marriott quickly came over and pulled Shura out. The mutation just now had already stimulated other zombies. The zombies began to speed up and stagger towards them. After handing over, they found that these ancient zombies were not only invulnerable to swords and guns, but also extremely powerful.
Marriott wearing heavy armor still took the lead in front. While disrupting the rhythm of the zombies' attack, He Ming also restrained the attacks of some zombies. While nervous, a soul fire talisman hit a zombie, burning a dazzling fire. The speed of the zombie suddenly slowed down much deeper, and He Ming found that he slashed through the sword and easily cut a hole.
"These zombies may be afraid of fire!" He Ming shouted, while continuing to avoid the attack of one zombie. At this time, Yan Yi and Tao Han's spells hit these zombies one by one. Sure enough, after being hit by the scorching fire spell, the zombies' movements slowed down, and their rock-solid bodies seemed to soften a little. Marriott shouted and axed, directly splitting a zombie with a head and shoulders. Because the passage was narrow, He Ming could not find the assassination position and attacked again, but he did not have the divine power of Marriott. He could only avoid the powerful attack of the zombie and gathered sword energy to attack the zombie's neck and head.
The movements in their battle attracted more nearby zombies to come. He Mingzheng and Marriott concentrated on dealing with the zombies in front of them, and suddenly heard Tao Han shouting: "Be careful of your feet!"
Marriott then discovered that not only were the zombies staggering over, but also the zombies crawling over with twisted movements. They had no feet and climbed slowly, but because they didn't notice them at the first time, they had already climbed to their feet. Fortunately, Marriott's armor was carefully defended this time, and the zombie's long black nails did not cause much damage to him, but the formation of the four people was shattered.
Marriott had to do his best to deal with it, while He Ming attacked zombies as much as possible to cover Marriott, while Tao Han and Yan Yi used powerful magic attacks without reservation. However, after the initial panic passed, Marriott stabilized his position and fought against the zombies with one axe and one blow. With each ding, He Ming, holding the Shuang in his hand, could accurately attack the zombies' vital points after Marriott stabilized the attacks of those zombies. At the same time, under the influence of the soul fire talisman and the big fireball, these zombies were indeed much easier to deal with.
With one jingle after another, the zombies whose speed was affected by the flames were finally solved. Benefiting from the zombies' dull movements, they did not suffer much damage.
The four people looked very good when the torch shone under the torch. He Ming said breathlessly: "These zombies are much faster than the cave entrances. Fortunately, they are still afraid of the fire, otherwise we will be in trouble. What should we do now?"
Marriott said without hesitation: "I've come here, can I go back like this?"
He Ming thought about it and said, "Yes, we have all come here. No matter how much we say, we have to figure out where those people have dug up."
So they continued to move forward, ancient zombies had appeared, and those people could not dig much farther. If they were lucky, they might find more secrets.
They were alert to these harder and faster ancient zombies and moved forward slowly. After several tests, Tao Han believed that the breath of life on humans could stimulate these zombies at a certain distance. As long as they moved forward as carefully as possible, there were only three to four zombies attracted each time, which was not difficult to solve.
In this way, they finally walked to the end of the passage. The traces of excavation here were very new, and it seemed that they had been dug through recently. He Ming and his friends carefully checked and realized that this place might have been blocked by the mountains collapsed by the earthquake. The entrance to the passage was full of gravel, which was obviously moved away after the recent excavation.
They began to carefully check the ground. They could see that many broken bodies gathered near the passage, and they probably couldn't get up.
"It seems that after the earthquake, many people were trapped here. They gathered here to find ways to get out of trouble, but they could not escape in the end. The person with a body intact later turned into a zombie." He Ming analyzed.
Marriott said: "These zombies here should have been destroyed. The channel looks very empty. I personally think that the threat of these zombies is not that great. We can still solve it. What is really terrible is the mysterious power of turning them into zombies and the people who deliberately dig the mine so deep."
Yan Yi, who had carefully observed, suddenly pointed to the two remains and said to them: "Look, these bodies crushed by gravel are neither miners nor ancient remains. Judging from the clothes, I seem to have seen them at Beech."
Marriott frowned and said, "I do have an impression of these people's clothes. I guess they were dug up here and were killed by rocks. If we can find out who they are, we can find out who is doing it. Unfortunately, we have been in the barracks for a long time and don't know whose outfit is this."
Liao Xun said: "We just need to remember these things. Lord Wang said that Biqi has a person who can deal with evil demons and is currently preparing. Let's look deeper and see if there are any other situations before going back first. After all, I think that if we encounter the evil demon on the orc mural, we have a very low chance of winning."
He Ming nodded. They entered the mine that had been closed for a long time, intending to find out if there were any other clues. They walked carefully inside and removed the scattered zombies. They observed that the mine was still bottomless.
And they also got a lot of clues, so after discussing, they thought there was no need to continue taking risks and go deeper, so they decided to go back and report to Lord Wang first.
On the way back, everyone relaxed a little, without the tension of watching one step. At this moment, there was a sudden rustling sound, and it seemed that there was a zombie getting up again. The four of them didn't care much. With the low visibility of the torch, they decided to leave first. It was the slackness at this moment and they paid the price.
A blue lightning shot straight from the entrance of the mine, hitting Marriott in heavy armor. Because Marriott had sufficient protection, he had not paid much attention to defense, and the metal armor had little defense against lightning. The four of them were shocked, and Marriott had already curled up.
He Ming held the sword and ran towards that direction. Yan Yi threw a big fireball and illuminated the other side. As a person who had learned magic, He Ming knew that thunder and lightning usually had to be used outdoors to attack magic and gather magic power from high altitudes. Average level mages cannot use them in a narrow space like mine cave. Only magic masters can use their own magic power to create more powerful flash movies to release them in this kind of room.
So he immediately thought that they were plotted against, and they were masters! Anger filled his mind, and he had a terrible idea in his heart. The direction of movement changed several times in a short time, approaching the direction of the lightning. Sure enough, another lightning shot towards him, because He Ming was changing the direction, and it was empty.
At this time, Yan Yi threw a huge fireball over again, exploded on the attacker's side, illuminating a nearby area. The black hand of this attack also directly caught their eyes: a pale skin, distorted facial features, and a ragged body, as if the clothes that would weather at any time were weathered, with blue lights in his eyes. A very creepy zombie was in the middle, and several rock-solid black zombies guarded it.
Not a human! He Ming felt relieved for some reason, which calmed him down. At the same time, he realized that the dark zombies were no longer attacking unruly, but were protected by the magic zombies as flesh shields. Forced attacks would definitely lead to a loss.
Seeing someone approaching, the target of the magic zombie turned into He Ming. The blue light in his eyes became brighter, and several zombies blocked He Ming's attack, and the magic zombie shot towards him again. Fortunately, it took a little time to cast the spell, and this time it barely dodged. He Ming was moving at high speed and shouted: "Attack them with fire talismans to see if they can delay their movement!"
Before he could speak, the big fireball and fire talisman had already been thrown towards him. Fortunately, He Ming was fast and would not be injured by accident. However, those zombies were also astonishingly strong. Although the speed slowed down a few times, they could still stagger and not fall down. He Ming was still unable to launch an attack. The magic attack was blocked by ordinary zombies and could not attack magic zombies.
