A Cai's work The Emperor's Phoenix: Abandoned Concubine The Emperor's Phoenix: Abandoned Concubine Volume 1 1932 Ghosts? The guests who suddenly appeared
The snow wolf's shrill cry startled everyone. Just at this moment, the fire was lit. Everyone turned around and saw...
"Ghost?" Feng Qingchen sucked in a breath and leaned involuntarily into the arms of the Ninth Uncle. The snow wolf was so scared that its fur stood up and its tail also stood straight, but it stood firmly in front of Feng Qingchen and let out a lack of confidence howl.
So scary!
"Be careful." Xuan Shaoqi and the Eighteen Riders quickly approached the fire and gathered together with the Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen. Looking at the "guests" who suddenly appeared in front of them, the group of people were frightened from the bottom of their hearts.
They are called guests because they look like humans, with all their limbs and senses intact, but they lack human vitality and are like a dead body.
At this moment, they were like wooden stakes, standing there motionless, their faces were deathly pale, with only two holes in their eyeballs, and their hands were placed at their sides. Whether viewed from near or far, they looked like ghosts.
Looking at their appearance, they seemed to be very afraid of fire. They just stood there and didn't dare to get close.
"These should be the living dead." After seeing clearly, the Ninth Prince breathed a sigh of relief: "They are the people used by the previous dynasty to guard the imperial mausoleum. These are only the outermost ones. Don't be afraid. These living dead can only fight simply. Just kill them."
The Ninth Prince patted Feng Qingchen on the shoulder to comfort him. He stepped forward, picked up a burning wooden stake, and in a flash, he came in front of the living dead. He pointed the torch in his hand at their hearts, and with a puff, the living dead fell to the ground.
The Ninth Prince used the same method to kill the next zombie, but the zombie behind it seemed to sense the danger. Although its body was stiff and unable to move, it evaded the attack flexibly and attacked the Ninth Prince.
There were quite a few living dead, and they had been hiding in the dark before, without any signs of life. The Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen hadn't noticed anything. When the Ninth Prince moved, the living dead behind him rushed forward...
They seemed to be weightless, walking on the ground without any sound, and moving at an extremely fast speed. In just a moment, Feng Qingchen and his group were surrounded by the living dead.
Xuan Shaoqi and the Eighteen Riders followed the Ninth Prince's example and picked up wooden sticks with sparks and started fighting the living dead. Xuelang wanted to help, but after seeing the creepy look of the living dead, he hesitated for a while and finally retreated to Feng Qingchen's side.
It protects light dust well.
"Hit their hearts." After fighting with the zombies for a while, the Ninth Prince realized their weaknesses. At the same time, he also discovered that these zombies seemed to be covered with a group of small insects.
"Don't touch them, they have poisonous insects on their bodies." The Ninth Prince took the opportunity to put the torch in front of a zombie. He saw that the zombie's pale face was not flesh, but a bunch of white insects.
"Ugh..." Feng Qingchen felt his stomach churning and the pain came out immediately, and his scalp was slightly numb.
She has trypophobia, but it is not obvious at ordinary times. Only when she sees such tiny dense objects will she react so strongly. Of course, it is not just Feng Qingchen who has trypophobia. The Ninth Prince and Xuan Shaoqi also seem to be unable to bear it, and their faces are distorted...
At first they thought these "guests" were the living dead, but now it seems that these "things" cannot be called human beings at all. They are just skeletons controlled by billions of insects.
Feng Qingchen vomited for a long time until there was nothing left to vomit. After rinsing his mouth with clean water, Feng Qingchen felt a little better.
Feng Qingchen was not idle either. When the Ninth Prince and his group were fighting the zombies, Feng Qingchen took out alcohol from his smart medical bag, suppressed his nausea, and sprinkled the alcohol on the zombies, then threw a fire starter at them...
"Bachi...Bachi" It's just like roasting grasshoppers when we were kids. When the little bugs were roasted to death, they made a slight popping sound, which sounded like firecrackers. Soon, you could smell a strong meaty aroma.
The body burned up quickly, revealing a pale skeleton and a broken but still alive heart.
The heart of this living dead is still intact?
Feng Qingchen was very surprised, but before she could think about it, she felt like vomiting again...
"This thing is so disgusting." Xuan Shaoqi also felt uncomfortable in his stomach, but there were dozens of zombies in front of him, so no matter how uncomfortable he felt, he couldn't retreat.
Seeing Feng Qingchen burning the corpse of the zombie, Xuan Shaoqi threw away the extinguished wooden stick in his hand, replaced it with a thick long wooden stick, picked up the scattered sparks, and hit the zombie not far away.
The living dead walked very fast, but they didn't know how to dodge. Xuan Shaoqi hit them accurately every time, and each time he hit their hearts, Feng Qingchen seemed to hear the sound of their hearts breaking.
The worms on the living dead probably live on that heart.
Feng Qingchen suppressed her nausea and continued to clean up the corpses on the ground, burning them one by one to prevent them from accidentally getting infected by the bugs.
"Snow Wolf, stand further away and don't get caught by bugs." Feng Qingchen instructed the Snow Wolf that was following her.
The snow wolf has white fur, so if there are insects hiding in it, it is impossible to find them.
"Ah..." The snow wolf's big eyes were filled with fear, and he nodded cautiously.
It is not afraid of big tigers and leopards, but this kind of little insect is really scary!
The snow wolf was so frightened that it didn't dare to breathe, for fear that it had been tricked. It followed Feng Qingchen closely. If it hadn't been for the fact that it would be too cold without any fur, the snow wolf would have considered shaving off all its fur to avoid being entangled by these horrible bugs.
The living dead were not difficult to deal with. With the cooperation of Feng Qingchen and the Ninth Prince, it took only a quarter of an hour to clean up the suddenly appearing living dead, and the surrounding temperature returned to normal.
"Are these the gravekeepers?" Xuan Shaoqi's face twisted slightly when he saw the mess on the ground.
He finally understood why so many people never returned. The imperial tomb of the previous dynasty was indeed terrifying. They were discovered before they even entered.
"We haven't gone in yet. These are also called living dead, but they are not considered gravekeepers. Gravekeepers should be more difficult to deal with than this." The Ninth Prince threw away the torch in his hand, took off his coat, threw it away, picked up the only half bucket of water left on the ground, and washed his hands carefully.
Xuan Shaoqi's face twitched again: This guy really loves cleanliness.
"You'd better wash yourself too. If you get these little bugs on you, you might become the living dead like we just saw." It's not enough for the Ninth Prince to be clean himself, he also threatens others to do the same.
"No water!" They didn't bring much drinking water with them, so they couldn't waste it like this.
Feng Qingchen resigned himself to his fate and took out buckets of water and disinfectant alcohol from his smart medical bag...
"This?" Xuan Shaoqi and Shibaqi were dumbfounded. A bunch of things appeared out of thin air. Is Feng Qingchen a god?
"You didn't see anything. If you saw anything, don't tell us, and don't ask us." Feng Qingchen was quite calm. When she decided to expose the smart medical kit, she had guessed that this would happen...
