Chapter 311: The psychological shadow of Sean
If Bearded Tucci were a time traveler, a song like this would surely ring in his heart at this moment:
"Brother, give me a hug."
He was hugging very tightly indeed, and the zombie in front of him really looked like a big brother. Under normal circumstances, Tus wouldn't mind hugging the zombie like a brother, as long as the zombie's body was not rotten.
But now he can only say, "Brother, you can hug me, but please don't put anything into my body, okay?"
Tus instantly fell into a trance and looked like he was about to die, but it was unclear whether he was strangled, poisoned, or simply nauseated to death.
Just when he was almost full, he noticed Fingri running towards him out of the corner of his eye, and was so moved that tears came to his eyes.
Finally, there is no need to fight anymore.
Thinking of this, he fell into a coma with peace of mind.
Not much time had passed, and when he slowly woke up, he found that people had left the cemetery and returned to the purification church.
"I!"
The first thing he did when he woke up was to touch his body. At this time, Fingri's voice came from beside him, "Don't worry, the bugs have been cleared away. You have saved your life."
When Tus saw Fingri, he treated him like a family member. He hugged the man's thighs and howled, not caring about his personal image.
Fingri was an angel for saving him from such a disgusting situation!
"Don't just thank me, it was Alayya who helped you pick the bugs."
Tus looked in the direction the other person pointed, and saw that the scarecrow had set up a large pot above the campfire, cooking porridge, and there were skewers of roasted meat next to the campfire.
What a talent! How could he think of cooking over campfire?
He hurried over to express his gratitude. The latter nodded and pointed to the side. Only then did Tus realize that his teammates were all holding wooden bowls full of porridge and staring blankly.
"Oh, you replenish your strength in time. You are worthy of the gold level." He praised repeatedly, so Alayya enthusiastically served him a bowl of porridge.
"thank you!"
When Tus took the porridge, he found that his teammates were staring at him with very intriguing looks.
As if waiting to see his reaction.
"What's wrong? Why are you taking so long to drink porridge?"
When his eyes fell on the white rice porridge in front of him, his whole body became stiff.
The rice porridge is cooked to perfection. The plump and translucent rice grains float up and down in the soup of moderate thickness, exuding a mellow aroma that whets one's appetite just by smelling it. It's obvious that the chef has put a lot of effort into it.
But in his eyes, this bowl of rice porridge changed.
"Bugs!"
“Dang—”
Tus screamed and fell to the ground, the rice porridge spilled on the ground and still lingered with steam, but he was so scared that he couldn't stop backing away.
There was a wall behind him, and he accidentally dropped some small stones. The stones rolled on the ground, and he saw it and cried out again.
“Why are there maggots here too!”
Rice grains, stones, ropes, Tus kept screaming, and in the end even the buttons looked like maggots in his eyes, and he fainted from the pain again.
"I knew the old man would leave a psychological shadow on me."
"I didn't expect the reaction to be so slow."
"Fortunately, we are mentally strong and not afraid at all."
The people in the bone-binding team talked for a while, picked up the porridge, and slurped it in circles. They didn't seem to mind at all that the rice looked very similar to what they had just encountered in the cemetery.
But after a few seconds, someone put down the bowl.
Then came the second and third, and finally they looked left and right, staring at the remaining porridge in their hands worriedly.
No one spoke, but it seemed as if everything was said.
Alayya was cleaning up the porridge that had spilled on the floor, and she looked a little sad that the food was wasted. Fingri came over and said, "Didn't I tell you not to make porridge? I've just seen so many bugs, how can I drink it?"
She pointed at the supply backpack with grievance, and Fingerly realized that there was only rice and some other ingredients in it. It turned out that they forgot to replenish the ingredients, and only rice was left.
"Okay, my bad."
He looked helplessly at the people in the Guzha team and asked, "Do you need memory-clearing magic?"
The people said in unison:
“I’ll leave it to you.”
The magic took effect on people one by one. When it was Tus' turn, he slowly woke up and said firmly, "I am not. I don't have any psychological trauma and I don't need my memory cleared."
“Is this true or false?”
"Really! I'm going to the bathroom!"
He wiped his pale face and walked out of the purification church. After a while, screams were heard outside. People ran out and found that Tus had fainted again.
His belt had just been untied and he hadn't had time to take it off. Anyone who has used the toilet while standing knows what they will see the first thing after untying their belt.
Fingerly understood instantly what this guy had hallucinated as a maggot, and immediately revealed a look of pity that only a man could understand.
Ultimately, Tuss was given a short-term memory wipe.
Otherwise he will faint every time he goes to the toilet.
After everyone has recovered, the adventure continues.
This time, in order to take care of this group of younger generations who truly respect them, the Hassawi team took the initiative to walk in the front. Before setting off, Alayya even grew a few mushrooms from the scarecrow's body and stuffed them into the Guzha team.
"This is.?"
"Hallucinogenic mushrooms. You can see a different world after eating them." Fingri introduced: "If you really can't stand it, just take a bite."
"Then, isn't that equivalent to poisoning?"
"Which one do you choose, poisoning or psychological trauma?"
“.”
With the lessons learned from previous experiences, no one was willing to engage in close combat with this group of zombies anymore. As a result, the shield guards were protected instead, while the rangers and magicians took on the main combat role outside.
Then people discovered that if they deliberately kept a distance from zombies, they would go crazy.
Not to mention the spitting, when you are far away, the zombies' strength will increase in all aspects. They will even have enough energy to run, and one punch can make a shallow dent in the armor.
After careful exploration, you can find that there are many kinds of zombies. There are complete zombies, some that will crawl out of their stomachs in distorted human shapes after being attacked, and some whose entire bodies become distorted human shapes.
Every time they attack, bugs will fall down. Once the bugs land on the body, they will gnaw at the flesh and blood, and blood will spurt out from the wound. Conventional treatment methods other than magic and potions are useless.
In addition to the zombies, a type of monster called "Gravekeeper" that is taller and more powerful is worthy of attention. Their tricky and swift fighting style makes them more threatening. If they were not so fragile that a heavy punch could take away half their lives, I'm afraid the Gravekeeper alone could be called an elite monster.
Zombies and gravekeepers are the only two monsters in this small area of the cemetery, and each has its own characteristics.
The terrain of the cemetery can be said to be a bit tricky, mainly because of the disorientation caused by the repetitive scenery. It is definitely more than enough to confuse ordinary adventurers.
The Hassawi team found the path after wandering around for a few times. It was hard to say whether this was due to experience or intuition, but their terrifying speed of exploring the map was even faster than that of the strategy team.
However, compared with the strategy group, Fingri and his friends are not obsessed with rewards. Sometimes, even if there is a spot of light in front of them and they can get it with a little effort, they are too lazy to pick it up, as if the reward is not important, and Sion's map and monsters are what they are most interested in.
Thanks to this, the Guza team reaped a lot of rewards. The props they obtained included but were not limited to the Gravekeeper series of weapons and equipment, the Astra Greatsword, Flame Gems, etc. The most numerous ones were actually torches?
It's strange, why are there so many unlit torches here?
They had never thought of using torches to deal with the maggot-infested zombies, and had left all the battles to the Hasavi team.
"No, I can't stand it anymore, where are the hallucinogenic mushrooms? Give me a bite!"
Some people still couldn't stand the scene of losing SAN in the cemetery, and finally chose to eat hallucinogenic mushrooms. His world immediately became colorful and he was no longer afraid of anything he saw.
"Hey, I saw a golden lion flying in the sky~"
But this also affected his eyesight. He didn't even notice a gem crystal worm slipping away from under his nose, and he was still happily talking nonsense.
About an hour later, they arrived at the end of the cemetery.
People stopped in their tracks. There were no elite monsters guarding the gate, nor were there any other monsters with even stranger looks. They stopped only because they felt that the scene before them was quite ridiculous.
A long and wide wooden board fell on the ground, with the other end resting on the roof of the deep church. It looked abrupt and out of place, as if a construction worker had put it there to save time.
Tus had a lot of complaints in his mouth but couldn't say them out loud, but he knew he had to give the opportunity to complain to Fingri first.
Sure enough, the latter said with a strange look on his face: "We are wandering around here hiding from disgusting monsters just to step on broken wooden boards to get on the roof?"
"Then why didn't you use flying magic at the beginning?"
Who knows? Maybe it’s because Sion’s map is so well made that everyone can’t help but want to appreciate it slowly?
When everyone went up to the roof, the wooden boards under their feet creaked, as if they would collapse at any time. Fortunately, they managed to get up safely in the end.
How can I put it? It is worthy of being called a secluded church. Even the roof is built so spacious.
"It looks like you can roll around freely, even if you're fighting a large number of monsters—"
As soon as Fingri uttered this, Matilda covered his mouth with her hand, and Tus beside him also looked terrified.
Just now, he said something taboo that cannot be spoken!
A sound of breaking air was heard, and people looked up and saw a huge dark figure approaching in the sky not far away.
"Is it a gargoyle?"
"No, that thing has a humanoid shape and is holding a bird. Get away from it!"
There was a heavy sound of landing, smoke and dust scattered, and everyone looked up, only to see a sturdy figure in armor standing opposite him, the oversized sword and shield in his hands showed his extraordinary strength.
[The Cursebinder]
The boss from Dark Souls 2, the new killer who was honored as Ju-sensei, was once a bottleneck for many players.
"Finally an elite monster has appeared. Let's get ready to attack."
Tus had just inspired everyone's fighting spirit when he suddenly heard a strange sound in his ears. It was very faint, but it seemed to be very close to him, and he had heard this sound not long ago.
It seems like the sound of a heavy crossbow being pulled?
And more than one!
