Li Ran followed Lu Ru, Xia Meng and others step by step closer to the village. Unlike the others who felt a little nervous, although he also felt a little nervous, he was more expectant and excited.
Since he started practicing, he has never seen any strange life. It is not true to say that he has never seen any strange life. Before waking up, he has loved horror movies since he was a child, especially the horror comedies in the series of Uncle Ying. It can be said that the more he watched, the scarier he became, and the scarier he became, the more he liked watching.
Unfortunately, after Uncle Ying passed away, domestic horror films, coupled with policy restrictions, basically declined. This made him feel a little regretful when he grew up, but the childhood memories were extremely deep, and he even dared not walk on remote roads at night.
The biggest reason for this sect mission, besides the rich contribution value rewards for team missions, is that he came here for the weirdness and wanted to see it for himself. If he were alone, he would definitely not dare to come. This has nothing to do with strength, but is mainly due to the memories in his mind.
Yuanmie Village was quiet, like a dilapidated village in the wilderness, with no one living there. Not even the shadow of a zombie was seen, but Lu Ru and his companions did not let down their guard. Not to mention that the sect would never make such a common-sense mistake, and the pools of dark red coagulated blood under their feet explained everything.
Ahh ...
Weird and eerie sounds kept coming into their ears, coupled with the dark, gray gas floating in the air, the smell of blood, the stench, and the cool wind that kept blowing on everyone's skin. All these factors combined made Lu Ru and others feel even more uneasy. Some people even regretted taking on this kind of task, even though the reward was too much.
But everyone here is a genius, and no one would be the first to propose giving up the mission. Once the mission is given up, they will be severely punished. In addition, they are not alone, so they can only bite the bullet and move forward.
"I hope that in this weird mission, I will face zombies everywhere. I don't want to face monsters again..." Lu Ru swallowed and thought to himself.
"I should have known not to do this weird mission. It's too weird..." Xia Meng's heart was pounding.
"I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid. There are so many of us, and we have the Purple Flame that can specifically counter that kid... Well, why did I think of that kid..." The red-haired man was also nervous.
Apart from these three people, one could tell from the solemn expressions on the faces of the others that they must also be feeling turbulent inside.
The seven people have entered the village, but still haven't found any trace of zombies. Lu Ru is becoming more and more uneasy. He knows that the sect cannot issue a non-existent mission.
"Has anyone of you noticed anything unusual? The mission intelligence clearly stated that this village was in disaster when it was discovered. Logically, they should have all been transformed into zombies. How come there is not even a trace of a zombie now?" Lu Ru frowned.
"Did they all leave?" Xia Meng replied. She seemed to feel much better after saying something.
"Do you think they might have hidden themselves? It is said that as long as zombies reach a certain level, their intelligence will gradually recover and they will recall their memories of their previous life. Except for their personalities, cruel and murderous nature, and their love of eating human blood, they are no different from ordinary people!" A fellow monk said weakly. He regretted being instigated by his friends to take on this strange mission.
"That's not right. If they really hid, there would be at least a hundred or several hundred people in a village. How could they not reveal any clues? The seven of us couldn't find any signs with our spiritual consciousness!" A female cultivator from the same sect retorted. Although she was a woman, she did not feel any fear in her heart. She was a real tomboy.
The voices of the people discussing were neither loud nor soft, but in this empty village, they formed a strange echo, which made everyone's scalp tingle.
"Don't hope we've encountered a monster again. This kind of creature is particularly difficult to deal with..." Xia Meng's face was pale, and you could imagine how nervous she was.
She is somewhat similar to the previous Li Ran, and even has some masochistic tendencies, that is, the more she wants, the more afraid she is, and the more afraid she is, the more she wants. Although she is really afraid, she can't help but take on similar weird tasks every time.
After hearing what Xia Meng said, the people who were already panicking became even more nervous. Zombies and other weird creatures were okay, after all, they had physical bodies and were not that scary, but monsters had no physical bodies at all, their strength and methods were unknown, and they always stayed in the dark. Even powerful monks did not want to run into them.
Among all the sect missions, strange missions can be said to be the type of mission with the highest rewards, so you can imagine how troublesome it is.
Li Ran did not find any trace of zombies, nor did he use Aizen's clone to cheat, because that would lose the fun for him. There is nothing more exciting than experiencing this kind of horror movie in person.
"It's... getting darker and darker? It was clearly noon when we came in..." A fellow monk's voice trembled.
"Huh... Don't be afraid, everyone. The cultivators in the upper three realms of the sect have already found out everything. Even if we encounter a monster, so what? As long as the cultivation level is within the Earth Ghost Stage, even the Ghost King cannot be our opponent!" Lu Ru forced everyone to be brave.
After he finished speaking, he looked up at the sky. The sky became darker and darker. The sun disappeared completely, leaving only a few bright moons shining in the sky. Lu Ru appeared calm on the surface, but he couldn't help but feel a little panicked in his heart. In this situation, it seemed that there was a great possibility that he would really encounter a monster this time.
There was no abnormality happening without reason. It was clearly sunny before he came in. How could it be dark in such a short time? Li Ran's heartbeat accelerated and he became a little nervous, but it was more like the excitement when watching a horror movie.
Thump thump thump thump…
Suddenly, there were bursts of loud thuds, and countless black shadows surrounded them from various dark corners.
Although these shadows were protected by the darkness and an unknown force shielding the evil aura from their bodies, Li Ran and the others could see them clearly.
These black shadows had hideous faces, with clotted blood at the corners of their mouths, their complexions were ashen and black, and their limbs were stiff. The sound of them hitting the ground just now was the sound they made when they jumped and walked and landed!
Horrible...
Waves of roars came from their throats, and the power that blocked their breath was suddenly withdrawn. In an instant, the breath of death, darkness, and evil rose into the sky, making it difficult for Lu Ru and others to breathe.
"Huh...it's finally out..."
On the contrary, unlike before, Lu Ru, Xia Meng and the others all breathed a sigh of relief. The unknown is the most frightening thing, but now that it has appeared, they are not so scared anymore.
"Everyone, go and meet the enemy on your own, but be careful. These are low-level zombies. Even the ones that have entered the ranks are just a few scattered red-eyed zombies. It's definitely not that simple..."
