There was no chirping of insects or birds, no roar of beasts and monsters, and a deathly silence filled the air.
The three coal briquettes flew past the wilderness and entered the second city-state destroyed by the Black Corpse Society. The three of them could not see any living creatures. This was an area shrouded in death.
The fact that Corwin was not completely slaughtered is completely a black humor. The Lord of Corwin has been carrying out a large-scale construction project recently. In order to complete his new palace as quickly as possible, he left the main city with most of the slaves and armed forces in the territory.
At the time of the incident, a large number of slaves and guards were working in the remote new palace complex.
The city lord who escaped the disaster tearfully complained about the brutality of the Black Corpse Society during his conversation with the Theocracy and Tanya, but Lulu pointedly pointed out when hearing the news - he actually didn't care how many people died, just
The right to suffer has been greatly weakened by the arrival of the Black Corpse Society.
Floating above the ruins of Corwin City, Lu Yu sighed.
It seems that the Black Corpse Society has left no undead creations like gray spirits here, but even so, there are still an alarming number of walking corpses and bones wandering aimlessly in the city.
Continuing to move forward, when passing a village outside the city, Sierra suddenly seized control of his body and stopped. This sudden braking made Lu Yu sway for a while.
"Is there an enemy?" Lu Yu asked subconsciously.
Sierra said in confusion: "I just... seemed to see children in the collapsed houses in the villages and towns."
"Child, are you sure you read it correctly?" Lu Yu couldn't believe it. "This place is not far from Corwin City. With the Black Corpse Society's current methods of creating a zombie tide, I don't think anyone can survive in the wild."
Sera was also less confident due to Lu Yu's words, but Lulu stood up and said, "Then let's go down and take a look. Although I didn't sense anything, what if it happens?"
After the magic wave, the perception of magic fluctuates greatly, sometimes even making Chen Xi, who is proficient in magic, wonder whether they are using it properly, because the feeling of being like an arm and commanding them is far gone.
To be on the safe side, the three briquettes landed on top of the collapsed houses in the village and looked around among the ruins and rubble.
The quiet village echoed with rustling sounds, and three briquettes followed the sound and floated on the window sill of a half-collapsed stone house.
Due to the damage, the furniture in the house was broken and rubble was everywhere, but a vat placed in the corner of the room attracted San Meiqiu's attention, because a piece of clothing that was caught on the edge of the vat was vaguely visible.
Sensing the weak breath of the living, Sera and Lulu were shocked in the chat room. They never expected that there was actually a survivor. Why couldn't the magic sense detect him at the first time? He was clearly very close at this time.
Considering that the size of the tank was unlikely to accommodate an adult, Sanmei Qiu guessed that it was a child, which put them in a difficult position. With their honor and dignity that would make the hardened men of the Theocracy judge people by their appearance, they revealed that
Opening the lid on the rice jar and greeting the child is a horror story from the child's point of view, and the half-breath that has been spared by the corpse tide may be completely vomited out.
After careful consideration, Lu Yu summoned Xu Yu, then hid behind her and made a sound.
"We are the demon warriors of the Theocracy, and we are the people who come to Corwin to search and rescue. We know that you can hear that the monster has left, and you can come out."
Sera, who had faced countless believers and dealt with many children in the Theocracy, had an especially gentle voice at this time.
After repeating it several times, intermittent crying sounds finally came from the tank, and the tank body also vibrated slightly due to the collision.
After being prepared, Xu carefully opened the lid. She also sympathized with the child's situation. After confirming the situation, she turned around and described: "He is a child of the cat-ear tribe, but he has a squirrel tail, a small amount of body hair, and a very clean face.
It’s a mixed race.”
The girl from the Mao'er tribe couldn't stop trembling and sobbing. After experiencing great fright, she was carried out of the tank by Xu Yu. San Meiqiu, who was holding Xu Yu behind her, took a quick look and confirmed that she was indeed a very pretty and cute little girl. She was about
She is in her early thirties or early fourteens. She is a little shorter than ordinary people because she is a mixture of squirrel people and cat-eared people.
The point is, they didn't find anything strange.
Although I don’t know how this child survived the massacre of the Black Corpse Society, it is obvious that now is not the time to ask such questions. The mental state of this little cat girl is extremely poor. Apart from crying and shaking, the rest of the reactions are scarce and her eyes are dim.
There was no focus, and she was held in his arms like a princess for a moment. She really looked like a little kitten that was wandering in the wild in winter and shivering from the cold.
Sanmeiqiu, who had rescued the survivors, had no way to go directly to the third destroyed city-state, Mitela, and could only temporarily go to a nearby inhabited city-state.
To be on the safe side, Lu Yu asked Xu Yu to put some disguise on his face to prevent anyone from recognizing him.
As time went by, Kitten Girl no longer trembled, and her eyes became a little brighter. She noticed this for a moment and secretly informed San Keqiu behind her.
Because black corpses would wreak havoc, city-states regardless of size would activate their defensive arrays to the greatest extent after nightfall. Therefore, Lu Yu could easily catch a glimpse of the fluorescent arrays emitting from far away in the dark night.
Xu Mo treated the child with the same tenderness: "We're almost there. Once we enter the town, you can eat hot food and take a hot bath."
Without any warning, Kitten Girl's body shook violently again, and the light in her eyes suddenly faded.
A strange feeling arose in her consciousness for a moment, and before she could recover, Cat Girl's cold eyes showed a fierce light.
Just as he was hesitating whether to throw Kitten Girl away, a row of tooth marks appeared on Xu Mo's throat, and violent magic was suddenly released, splitting Xu Mo's body and head.
Everything happened so fast that the magic power shattered in an instant. Sanmeiqiu didn't understand what happened until they sensed the magic power gradually rising in Kitten Girl's body, and then they realized it.
"Ouch!"
With a scream, Kitty Girl flew towards the three briquettes.
Sanmeiqiu, who was not sure why, did not dare to use his magic power, and controlled the intensity of his waving tentacles. He only lightly slapped Kitten Girl's body, making her move slowly.
But such an action angered Kitten Girl. She was completely transformed into a beast, and she was no longer delicate at all. She waved her claws towards the void with a ferocious face.
The pure magic tore through everything in its path, making San Meiqiu's undefended tentacles numb.
"Something's wrong, where did she get her magic power? We've never felt such abundant magic power from her before!"
Cat Girl leaps through the trees and transforms into a predator. Under the night, her amber-green eyes flash with a terrifying light.
"Do you think she is a living creature?"
What Lu Yu said suddenly made Sera and Lulu stunned.
"Isn't this obvious? We all feel the anger in her body. Her heart is still beating and her blood is flowing normally. Although she is conscious..."
More violent magic burst out from Kitten Girl's body, and her screams spread all around. Deep in the quiet forest, her sleeping consciousness kept waking up, like a soldier obeying an order.
Sensing the sudden fluctuations in magic power from all directions, Sera and Lulu came to their senses.
"Could it be that..." Sierra swallowed.
Lu Yu nodded: "The black corpse will stuff the broken spirit body into her body, just like a puppet master endowing the puppet with spirit."
The body of a living person and the spirit of the dead are combined, and the Kitten Girl in front of her now is one of the deformities born under the evil magic of the Black Corpse Society.
By borrowing a suitable living body, the breath of the deceased can be well hidden. After all, who would have thought that a child's body would be stuffed with a consciousness that does not belong to her, and this consciousness may still be absorbed from the mother's body.
Nutrients, gradually grow.
Even if the dead resides in the body of the living, it cannot be resurrected. The rejection caused by the mismatch between the spirit body and the body has long been verified by Vanessa and many puppet masters, but the Black Corpse Society is obviously very ambitious, perhaps to verify the current situation.
Whether this phenomenon can be broken through, perhaps in order to create more delayed detonation "bombs", they expanded their magic experiments to this aspect.
The weaker the consciousness, the easier it is for coexistence rather than preemption. Therefore, if the Black Corpse wants to create such a deformity, it can only choose children of the right age.
Sera, who has a lot of experience in making dolls, was furious when she figured out the key points. Her fury made the chat room tremble.
"Their sins are unforgivable!"
If the puppet masters study soul-giving for academic pursuits and to explore the path to eternal life, then the necromancers study this is pure evil. They only do it to better destroy and destroy the world of the living and expand it.
The limit of your own strength.
Lulu didn't know what to say to calm Sera, so she had to ask: "Lu Yu, can Kitten Girl be saved now?"
"Maybe, after all, their consciousnesses coexist, and there may be some chance of forcing the undead out."
Lu Yu raised his hand. After basically understanding Kitty Girl's current situation, the incubator could go to work.
"mom!"
"mom!"
The incubator, who had been looking for his mother without any idea when he first appeared, stopped being excited after feeling Lulu's sadness, and instead lowered his head.
"Drain all the spirits around, leaving no one behind."
The spirits gathering from all directions made the incubator salivate. Lu Yu's order was like the ringing of a dinner bell. The incubator raised his head and raised the spines on his back.
Some of the massive spirit bodies that had just gathered were particularly solid and had relatively complete consciousness. After sensing the approaching crisis, they suddenly turned around. However, the incubator's slender kiss accurately passed through countless spirit bodies and hit its illusory body.
.
"Wait a minute, you're going to kill her!"
Sera tried to stop her. She knew very well that using the incubator to devour the spirit body at this time would most likely tear Catgirl's little consciousness into pieces.
Guessing that Sera and Lulu might stop him, Lu Yu took a deep breath and tried to say the words he had prepared in a calm tone.
"Her life would be worse than death."
"You can't make the decision, I will. After all, the glutton is a bad person."
"If she dies, I will find a way to make every black corpse scumbag experience a more painful experience than death."
Sera and Lulu fell into silence, watching quietly as the incubator gradually pulled out the broken spirit body hidden in Kitten Girl's body.
After being nourished by the consciousness of the living, this spiritual body actually solidified, causing the incubator who was eating without hesitation to scream like a child, as if he had seen the best gift.
The incubator exerts all his strength, and the suddenly increased suction force causes the spirit body to gradually leave the body.
It became anxious, tightly wrapped around a pair of cat-ear-shaped "clouds", and used all its strength to restrain itself in place.
"Sela, cut it off!"
"Don't be stunned. Only your light magic can do such delicate work. Cut off the connection between it and Catwoman's spirit body, otherwise the hatcher will eat both of them together. It won't sift, regurgitate, and then spit it out!
"
Sierra's eyes were determined.
"[Brilliant True Meaning], give me a sharp blade!"
The dagger emerged, and Sera accelerated and floated. During the fall, her eyes were fixed on the connection between the two. Unable to tell how much belonged to Catwoman and how much belonged to the undead, she silently recited Laurende's name.
Reciting the words he once taught me.
"Even if the God of Glory is alive, he cannot save everyone."
"Everything should be done with a clear conscience."
The sword flashed, and the spirit body separated. The pair of cat ears lost their drag and fell back into the body. The remaining half of the undead was warmly welcomed by the incubator. It did not rush to devour this particularly delicious prey, but
He poked holes in the spirit body with kisses, enjoying the stimulating moment of contact between the food and the tip of his tongue, until he was completely tired of the taste, and then swallowed it in one gulp.
Sera hugged Cat Girl, feeling her relatively steady breathing, and exhaled deeply.
Lu Yu and Lulu saw clearly that Catwoman's spirit body had already disappeared when she finally returned to her body, which means...
"Maybe she is strong enough and can still wake up." They all comforted themselves.
He summoned Xu Yu again and asked her to knock on the door of the city-state as the Theocratic State, and then solemnly handed over Kitten Girl to the care of the city lord.
The note brought by Lu Yu described Kitten Girl's life experience in detail, and also stated his attitude.
"Someone will arrive in this city-state soon to take over her. Before that, I hope you can do your best to take care of her, otherwise I may not be happy."
Lu Yu, who was really worried about this group of indigenous anthropomorphic creatures, asked the Chenxi leader to send two people to the city-state. His experiences along the way made him full of distrust of these people.
In order to prevent more people from becoming the next kitten girl in the hands of the Black Corpse Society, Sanmeiqiu set off without stopping, aiming his sword at Mitraila. This was the last city-state recently destroyed by the Black Corpse Society, and it was also a real dead zone. Messenger
Searching back and forth within its territory, not a single living creature was found. It was more completely destroyed than Corwin, making one have to wonder whether the Black Corpse Society used some horrific magic here.
On the way to Mitelela, the three of them were a little silent. After experiencing a tragedy, everyone was not in a good mood.
"We're almost there, gray spirit, parasitic spirit, I want to know what Mitelaila has." Lu Yu took a deep breath and said.
