Chapter 174

This map looks like it was drawn temporarily, and the ink on it has not dried completely yet. The initial location is not from the bell tower, but a more conspicuous building nearby, which further confirms the conjecture that this map was drawn temporarily.

The location of the training grass resource point was not far from them, only two streets away. They had never been to Subei, and this alien space was really large. Three days was not enough for them to wander around.

Nothing strange happened on the way, and we arrived at our destination very quickly. As soon as we arrived, we felt a cold wind blowing on our faces. This was a wild grassland in the wilderness, and it looked deserted and out of place in the whole city.

"This place is so strange," Ian frowned and looked around, "Why is there such a large deserted area in the city?"

Even in ancient cities, every inch of land was worth a lot of money. Such a large piece of land could make a lot of money if used to build houses or shops, so it is impossible to leave it vacant like this.

The interesting thing is that the sky here was originally bright and sunny, but from the moment they arrived at this open space, dark clouds suddenly gathered. The originally sunny day seemed to have suddenly turned into a cloudy day, and the atmosphere became strange.

Ai Baozhu rubbed the goose bumps on her arm and said, "It's not right. Do you feel eerie?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone nodded in empathy, and they all felt a kind of eerie feeling. This feeling was very strange, not so much in the senses, but more in the psychology.

"The smell of death." Suddenly, Tiffany spoke softly.

Everyone was stunned. Ian asked seriously, "What do you mean? Are you saying there is a dead body here? Where is it underground?"

You have to know that "Alpha Supernatural High School" has never revealed any inside information about students dying in the resource space. That would be a serious matter and it is necessary to call the police.

"Yes and no." Understanding what he was nervous about, Tiffany nodded and shook her head slowly, making everyone anxious.

Fortunately, she didn't mean to keep me in suspense, and continued, "They are people who died a long time ago, earlier than other places... This place must have been a cemetery."

When she said "earlier than other places", she was probably referring to those who were killed in the Nightmare Beast Tide. This entire alien space is actually a huge cemetery, and this is where those people buried their dead before they died.

After hearing this answer, everyone was confused as to what they felt. They were definitely relieved that "Alpha High School" was fine and would be good to all of them.

But knowing that this place is where the dead are buried, it is inevitable that the mood is complicated. Lan Subing expressed everyone's thoughts: "No wonder it is so eerie."

At this moment, everyone suddenly heard footsteps. They turned around and saw another team. When they saw them, they also showed their vigilance at first, but then quickly turned into shock.

The crew-haired man who looked like the captain, Oli, was shocked: "You guys teamed up!"

He was really shocked. You know, there is no doubt that the two most powerful teams are the exchange students and the Elvis team. If these two teams join forces, then their previously agreed "robbing the rich and giving to the poor plan" will be declared bankrupt.

Jiang Tianming and his team originally wanted to use the team-up to shock others so that they would not dare to attack them, so they nodded and admitted: "Yes, I feel that my team is a bit weak, so I teamed up with them."

"We are weak and alone... hehe..." Oli repeated his words, his mouth twitched twice, and he didn't know where to start complaining. The two teams together can form the biggest evil force in the first grade. Is it really not shameful to say that they are "weak and alone"?

However, despite the strong opponent, he has no intention of giving up, at least not giving up this resource point. His team is also carefully matched, and everyone in the team is the best in the academy. If a team like theirs retreats when faced with danger, it would be a waste of time.

With this in mind, Oli gave the four people behind him a soothing look, and then walked towards the grass without hesitation, asking Ian, "Ian, have you found any resources? I don't know what good things there are in this place."

They got the map from the previous activities, which only marked the location of the resources but did not tell the students what resources were there. However, Su Bei and his students got the compensation map, so they knew the content of the resources in advance.

Oli was also a special character, and he had a good relationship with Ian, so I asked this question. Although Ian usually looked easy to talk to, he was actually very strict. I just laughed it off and ignored the question.

A group of people stood in a graveyard, looking for the location of the sedge grass. This grass has a magical property that it doesn't necessarily grow in any particular place. It may grow on a tree, in water, or even upside down in the ground.

Regarding this phenomenon, a very authoritative wood-type psychic explained that the training grass itself also needs to be trained, so it appears in various places, and that is one of its ways of training.

It is worth mentioning that his special ability is called [Wood Language], and one of his abilities is that he can hear plants speak.

Because they knew that this was a cemetery with dead bodies buried underground, even if they were from a long time ago, everyone, especially Su Bei and others, had no intention of digging underground. If possible, they still hoped that the dead could rest in peace. Of course, if they couldn't find it anywhere else, they would not hesitate to dig underground.

Because no one had found the training grass yet, the three teams were quite harmonious for a while.

Suddenly, Jiang Tianming stood up. Lan Subing noticed his abnormality and asked in a puzzled voice: "What's wrong?"

Jiang Tianming looked around, frowning as if he was thinking about something. After a moment, he asked, "Why is there no tombstone in the cemetery?"

Western tombstones are usually made of stone, so even if they were invaded by nightmare beasts, there should be some ruins left. But here there is nothing, it is clearly just an empty flat ground.

Such a large area in the city is used as a cemetery, so the dead who can live in this cemetery must be of some status. If so, why are there no tombstones? Even in the West, there should be some.

Jiang Tianming was not very clear about this aspect of history, so he was not sure whether there was a problem with not being able to see the tombstone.

His question stumped Lan Subing for a moment. Not only her, but even Su Bei was stunned for a moment. He really hadn't noticed this problem just now.

But now thinking about it, what Jiang Tianming said does make sense. If it is a cemetery, how can there be no tombstones? It is not a mass grave. If it is a mass grave, it should be built outside the city instead of inside.

Lan Subing thought for a moment, looked at Elvis, who was a Westerner, and then looked back at Jiang Tianming, motioning him to ask the other party. She had no experience with the other party, and Elvis was such a cold person, so she was too embarrassed to ask.

Jiang Tianming, who has no social phobia, immediately asked Elvis relevant questions, and Elvis was confused. He has never died, and he is not dying yet. He has never studied the relevant issues of cemeteries in detail, so he knows nothing about them.

But Elvis knew there was one person who knew for sure: "Tiffany, do you think there is a problem with this cemetery not having a tombstone?"

Tiffany's own supernatural power is the blood power of her family, [Vampires]. Many people in her family are vampires. Vampires like to sleep in coffins, and when they understand coffins, they naturally understand cemeteries.

As for why Elvis knew so much about this, it was because the two families were neighbors and had some dealings with each other. In addition, he was very interested in the ability of [Blood Clan], so he learned some related knowledge.

Hearing his question, Tiffany replied in a cold voice: "There should indeed be a tombstone."

If there is nothing here, then there must be something wrong. Jiang Tianming made a prompt decision: "Let's dig."

They immediately took out shovels from the storage space and started digging.

Oli's team didn't understand what they were doing, but they knew that this was a group of big guys who came here first, so they must know more information than they did. Since they were all digging, they would do the same. It didn't matter if they lost some energy, but if they dug something up, they would make a lot of money.

"Oh...Oli!" Less than five minutes later, a girl suddenly screamed, calling the captain's name while backing away.

Everyone looked in the direction she was looking and saw that something seemed to be flowing out of the hole she had dug.

"I have a bad feeling." Su Bei suddenly said quietly.

Lan Subing and he shared the same opinion: "Me too, I thought of that..."

The next second, a mummy emerged from the dirt and ran straight towards the girl closest to it. Su Bei twitched his lips and said, "That's it."

What jumped out of the graveyard soil was indeed a zombie, which was only to be expected.

On the other side, the girl was already fighting with the corpse. She was a student of the Assault Academy. After she activated her superpowers, she was surrounded by steel. She rushed forward and started punching the corpse. Just listening to the sound made people feel sore in their hands. If you didn't know, you would think it was a boxer hitting a sandbag.

Watching this violent scene, Ai Baozhu felt deeply puzzled: "She was just pretending."

Just now, the girl looked trembling with fear, and she looked so petite and cute that they thought she was from the auxiliary department and was just here to help.

Who knew this person is actually a King Kong Barbie!

It is not difficult to deal with a mummy, especially one that has been decayed for hundreds of years. The skeleton is very loose and can be easily broken apart.

The girl let out a long sigh, stepped on the dry corpse, and answered Ai Baozhu's question: "I thought it was a ghost just now, but I didn't expect it was this thing playing tricks."

No wonder he was trembling and looking weak just now since he was afraid of ghosts. It is indeed difficult for people who are afraid of ghosts to remain calm in a cemetery.

But the mummy was no better than a ghost. Su Bei pointed at the mummy under her feet and said, "It's alive."

The girl was stunned for a moment, then looked down and saw that the corpse that she should have killed was struggling again. Fortunately, she had stepped on its head just now, so that it could not move, otherwise the second round would have started now.

“This thing can’t be invincible, right?” The girl did not immediately try to subdue the corpse under her feet again, but smartly asked for a way to solve the problem once and for all.

She only remembered it when the mummy was resurrected just now. This thing is originally inanimate. It can't be immortal. If this mummy can be resurrected again and again, then they will be in trouble.

Recalling the experience in the movie, Lan Subing said uncertainly: "Will a headshot solve the problem?"

This might be a good idea. The girl immediately did as she was told and twisted the corpse's head off.

Before he could wait any longer, the sharp-eyed Si Zhaohua suddenly took a step back: "It seems that the other corpses are about to come out."

After hearing his words, everyone lowered their heads and saw holes appearing in many places, exactly the same as the front swing when the dry corpse jumped out just now.

It looks like a lot of mummy are going to jump out, but then again, this is a cemetery, how could there be only one mummy? Everyone had expected this when the first mummy appeared.

Moreover, these zombies are not scary. Their fighting ability is very low and they can be easily subdued even without using superpowers.

However, this relaxed mood did not last long. When all the corpses emerged from the ground, everyone's expression changed slightly.

There is no other reason, just because there are too many dead bodies!

Dense piles of dried corpses emerged from the soil, so many that they had no place to step. The air was filled with a foul smell, and breathing it in made people feel like they were poisoned and suffocating.

And that's not all. From the crowds still surging on the ground, it can be seen that there are probably countless more corpses underground, but they haven't come out because the ground is already full. Once these corpses on the ground are scattered or destroyed, those underground will immediately jump out again.

Elvis acted decisively and activated the [Time Hourglass] to reverse the time of the entire cemetery, so the dried corpse that I jumped out of went back underground.

"Elvis, you are my god!" Ian breathed a sigh of relief, feeling lucky to have survived a disaster. "Thank goodness you turned those mummies back to their original form. It was so smelly and crowded just now that I almost fainted."

The ones who were about to faint were not him, but Ai Baozhu and Si Zhaohua. Su Bei glanced at Si Zhaohua, who looked extremely unhappy, and then at Ai Baozhu, who was frantically wiping her exposed skin with a wet tissue and was on the verge of collapse, and couldn't help but twitching his lips.

Jiang Tianming considerately put the coats that the two people took off into the storage space, and then asked: "Are you all right?"

"No." Ai Baozhu answered without hesitation, "It's so dirty! I wouldn't have come if I had known! Can I quit now? I want to go back and take a shower!"

She could still tolerate being stained by mud, but being stained by a rotting corpse was something she couldn't stand. She felt that she would have to use shower gel at least five times to barely wash off the stench on her body.

Si Zhaohua couldn't stand it either, they both had a bit of a germaphobia. But Si Zhaohua didn't make a fuss about going back, he just prepared to leave the cemetery: "We don't want the resources at this resource point, can we just stay outside and wait for you?"

This is a good idea. A Baozhu nodded eagerly. She said they didn't want to stay here anyway. "Divide these things among yourselves. Don't let the corpse come out. Thank you."

They were not short of money, so there was no need to suffer for a little resource. Although the bodybuilding grass was precious, it was not hard to find on the market. Moreover, there was actually a lot of bodybuilding grass in his warehouse, so there was no need for them to go to great lengths to snatch it.

"Such a familiar scene..." Jiang Tianming couldn't help but glance at Lan Subing. He still remembered that Lan Subing had done something similar during their adventure before school started.

At that time, they found the vault of one of the small bosses, but the other party buried the vault in the sewer. After smelling the stench of the sewer, Lan Subing refused to go down no matter what, and said the same thing as them.

Coincidentally, Lan Subing also thought of that scene. Feeling Jiang Tianming's subtle gaze, her face turned red. She immediately frowned and glared at him without hesitation, glaring him back.

Noticing their little episode, Su Bei, who had read the comics, guessed what was going on. He coughed to hold back his laughter, then said, "I have good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?"

Everyone looked at each other. Jiang Tianming hesitated for a moment and finally decided, "Good news."

The good news Su Bei said might not be good news, but the bad news must be really bad. Instead of having high hopes for good news and being fooled by him in the end, it is better to ask for the good news first.

Good choice, Su Bei raised his lips and said, "I found where the training grass is."

They had all seen the appearance of physalis in general knowledge classes at school. It was a kind of grass that looked like a flower, with five diamond-shaped petals. It was these five leaves that had medicinal value.

Hearing his words, everyone was overjoyed. They finally found it, and it was worth the hardship they had just endured. Oli and others were also inexplicably surprised, they didn't expect that the resource here was actually fitness grass.

"Where is it? Where is it?" The girl who first blew up the corpse asked excitedly, and the others looked at Su Bei. However, Su Bei just smiled and said nothing, as if he had no intention of answering.

Just when everyone was confused, Jiang Tianming noticed his intention: "What about the bad news?"

At this time, he already had a bad feeling in his heart.

Otherwise, when he asked, Su Bei smiled and said, "The bad news is that the physique grass has grown inside the corpse."

As he spoke, he pointed at the mummy whose head the girl had squeezed off.

Everyone looked over with pale faces, and indeed saw a hint of green in the cuts between the neck and head.

The girl didn't care about anything else and just reached out to take it out. Then she took out a whole piece of training grass from the corpse's body.

"Grr!" The first person to vomit was Abaozhu. This sound was like turning on a switch, and soon after, the others also vomited. This was really disgusting. They had all eaten some fitness grass to some extent.

Although the carcass grass they eat may not be pulled out from a corpse, they can't help feeling disgusted when they think that this thing can actually live in a corpse and grow on the nutrients of the corpse.

Fortunately, they didn't have breakfast, so they just vomited and couldn't spit anything out. Ai Baozhu vomited and waved her hands frantically: "I don't want it, I don't want it... vomit... whoever you want can have it... vomit!"

Lan Subing couldn't stand it anymore, and waved her hands with a sigh, "Give me one, don't share with me."

Ten minutes later, when everyone stopped vomiting, Jiang Tianming recounted the numbers. Of the thirteen people who were originally present, only seven were still willing to continue to exercise.

But facing so many zombies, thirteen people may not be enough, let alone there are only seven people. Their combat power has been reduced by half, and it is difficult for them to eliminate all the zombies and get the benefits.

After a moment's silence, Jiang Tianming suddenly spoke: "There is one thing I think you should know. We may not eat all of this bodybuilding grass. We will definitely sell some of it. If you happen to buy it..."

"Don't talk, I'll join." Lan Subing changed her mind immediately. She understood what Jiang Tianming meant. If she got a part, at least she could choose how to deal with it herself, instead of letting it circulate in the market and finally return to her hands.

What a threat! Su Bei burst out laughing. Jiang Tianming was a bit treacherous. He did not use the relationship between the two sides to make those students who did not want resources help them mow the grass. Instead, he used this method to force them to help divide the resources.

"Let's find the nightmare beast hiding here first." Si Zhaohua said unhappily with a pale face. He could see what Jiang Tianming meant by what he said just now. He clearly wanted them to do hard labor and help deal with those dried corpses.

But he was really threatened. On the one hand, he didn't want to touch the corpses and didn't want the bodybuilding grass, but on the other hand, he didn't want them to circulate on the market and harm himself in the end. He could only help to find a solution.

After hearing his words, many people reacted. Yes, these corpses are not even completely black, they are definitely not nightmare beasts, they can only be things controlled by nightmare beasts. This place was originally a cemetery, and it is reasonable for nightmare beasts to control the corpses inside.

At this time, Tiffany coldly said a piece of good news that was good for everyone: "If we can destroy the nightmare beast, all the corpses should disappear directly."

A hundred years have passed since this city fell into the alien space, and the people buried in the cemetery must have been dead for even longer. After such a long time, the corpses should have turned into nutrients in the soil, and would not have remained as dried-up bodies like this.

Therefore, the reason why they can maintain their human form is probably because of the nightmare beast behind them. As long as the nightmare beast is destroyed, these corpses will no longer exist. At that time, it will be easy to get the bodybuilding grass, just pick it up everywhere.

Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, and began to look for the location of the nightmare beast. As long as they could find it, they would be relieved. This was not because they were arrogant. Although the opponent might be a high-level nightmare beast, from its means of controlling corpses, it could be seen that the opponent was probably not very strong in other means of persuasion.

However, it is not easy to find. If they could find it, they would have found it just now. The most frightening thing is that the nightmare beast hides in the ground. If you want to find it, you must dig three feet into the ground.

"Let me find it." Suddenly, an inconspicuous girl in Oli's team raised her hand. Everyone was a little confused, wondering how she could find the Nightmare Beast.

Oli also asked in confusion: "Riya, isn't your ability [Lethal Protection]? How do you find the Nightmare Beast?"
