As soon as Li Mengnan's sight reached the object, he immediately jumped to the side and took shelter in a low weed.
The rest of the people were not slow to respond. After seeing the scene in front of them clearly, they immediately looked for nearby shelter to prevent sudden attacks.
Facts have proved that several people are obviously too sensitive. Apart from the crackling sound of burning flames and the accompanying whistling of the wind, there is no abnormal sound at all within a radius of 100 meters.
"It seems we were lucky and just missed a massacre."
PADIO clapped his hands and stood up, carefully picking out the grass stems and dead leaves stuck to the skirt one by one, frowning a few times, very dissatisfied with this primitive and harsh environment.
"This transvestite must be a Virgo." Guo Yimin whispered in Li Mengnan's ear.
Li Mengnan smiled noncommittally and squatted down to carefully examine the corpses on the ground.
Although he is not a forensic doctor, this is not the scene of a criminal investigation case after all. There is no need to analyze the cause of death in detail. He only needs to know what kind of attack the deceased died of, so as to roughly judge the dangers he may face.
After checking several corpses, Li Mengnan wiped the blood on his hands with grass blades on the ground, stood up and said: "PADIO is right, this is indeed a massacre."
"Oh? How can you see it?"
Guo Yimin came over and asked, holding his nose. He had also examined several corpses in the same way just now. The bloody scene disgusted him so much that he couldn't find any clues at all.
HX Research Institute has corresponding training for dreamwalkers such as injury examination, but since all the newcomers entering the legendary land this time, the short training time is mostly focused on combat skills, and many people have not been exposed to related miscellaneous matters.
Huang Hao, Lao Man and a few others also gathered over and formed a small circle face to face with Li Mengnan. Only PADIO, the transvestite, stood with her arms folded a few meters away from everyone, her expression as cold as ever.
Li Mengnan dragged the body of a strong man, tore off his shirt, and exposed the muscular upper body that had not lost its color to everyone.
"There are about fifty corpses here, all of them are adult men, there are no women or children... Judging from their injuries, all the fatal injuries were on the back, and their faces were horrified. It was obvious that they encountered something that made them feel bad before they died.
Things that were so frightened that they were unable to make any resistance and were massacred one after another while running away."
"You know you're going to die but you don't resist, it's all for nothing," Dongzi said, stroking his fingers and pouting.
"It's not that simple." PADIO walked over from the side and threw several poorly made short knives in front of everyone. "These people all carry weapons, and most of them have old scars on their bodies, which shows that they are not
They are helpless civilians, and judging from the inferior equipment and disorganized formation, they are probably a group of bandits."
"Bandit... such a retro profession."
The fat man Guo Yimin picked up a short knife, waved it a few times and inserted it into his waist. Although the quality of this short knife was not as good as the kitchen knives sold in supermarkets in the real world, it was still better than bare hands.
Li Mengnan also picked up a dark gray wrought iron short knife about 60 centimeters long from the ground, weighed it slightly, and said: "The weight of this knife is about three kilograms. Judging from this weight, ordinary people in this world
Human physiques should be similar to real-world humans."
Huang Hao also picked up a short knife and hung it on his body, as well as a short bow with extremely rough workmanship and a dozen bone arrows.
"How do you know how to use this? Bows and arrows are different from crossbows. It takes just a few years of hard work to make it work." Dongzi reminded kindly. In fact, he also wanted to play long-range. At least it is relatively safe. Unfortunately, he has grown so big that he can only play in the picture.
I have read it online, but I have never come into contact with this retro long-range ejection weapon, so I can only look at it helplessly and sigh.
"My dad used to be a member of the provincial team. I only have three bows at home. Although they are all compound bows, the general operations should be similar." Huang Hao pulled the bowstring. Dreamwalker's physical strength far beyond the limit of ordinary people easily made it
This simple wooden bow was fully drawn, "This bow is too weak. It can reach the sky if it can shoot thirty meters."
"Haozi, can you bring down these people by yourself?" Guo Yimin seemed to have thought of something and turned to Huang Hao beside him and asked.
"If Brother Li's judgment is accurate, I will hit up to ten people without considering injuries." Huang Hao hugged his shoulders and said expressionlessly.
"That means that the overall strength of these people should be similar to ours, and those who can easily kill them can obviously easily crush us."
Speaking of this, Guo Yimin's fat face suddenly turned pale.
Lao Man and Dongzi couldn't help but feel moved. Obviously, they were really lucky. If they had entered the legendary land earlier, there might have been a corpse on the ground at this moment.
"Who killed these bandits?"
This group of bandits was also a group of poor people, and their only decent weapons were four daggers and a wooden bow. Old Man could only pick up a sharpened wooden stick to defend himself.
Although the lethality of this thing is limited, it is still better than nothing.
"The ones who killed these bandits were probably not humans." Li Mengnan pointed to the wounds on the back of the corpse on the ground. "Looking at these wounds, most of them are distributed in parallel lines. It is obvious that they were not caused by weapons, but the claw marks of some kind of wild beast."
"There are also teeth marks - they are all on the neck. He was killed in one bite." PADIO threw a stripped corpse over. The corpse's throat was covered in blood and flesh, and traces of bites were clearly visible.
Everyone looked at each other and nodded, seeing some scruples in each other's eyes.
The only ones capable of causing such carnage are obviously the monster minions of the vampire Earl Dracula in this legendary world.
Cackling——!
Suddenly, a strange sound came from the surroundings, and everyone quickly discovered that it was coming from the dead bodies on the ground.
These corpses obviously cannot be called "dead corpses" at this moment. The cold bodies that should have lost their lives gradually climbed up from the ground, raised their arms, and walked slower than ordinary people walking, staggering toward Li Mengnan.
Wait for six people to gather around.
"Holy shit! It's a zombie? Shouldn't this legendary monster be a vampire? Why did you plan the Resident Evil route? Do you want to be so dramatic?"
The fat man Guo Yimin clenched the short knife in his hand, his expression was strange, but there was not much fear in his eyes.
Anyone who can pass the dreamwalker test has not crawled out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. No matter how useless he is, he will not be intimidated by such a small scene.
"This should be a living corpse. Like vampires, they are undead creatures. They are very common in Western legends and have nothing to do with biochemical viruses."
Huang Hao drew the full wooden bow, and each bone arrow shot out quickly. There was no need to specifically aim at a distance of less than ten meters. Each arrow was inserted from the most vulnerable eye socket of the living corpse with extreme precision, and disgusting mucus spattered out.
.
The five or six living corpses in the front row fell down in response, and a few more in the back were also tripped.
However, Huang Hao only had a few bone arrows, which could only play a small role in containing the dozens of living corpses. Li Mengnan exchanged glances with the people around him, picked up the short knife he just got from the corpse, and rushed forward.
Fight against the zombie hordes.
As the lowest level of cannon fodder among undead creatures, living zombies are not only rough-skinned and thick-bodied but relatively durable, but in other aspects are even inferior to another cannon-fodder-level undead creature "Skeleton Soldier" with the same name. If they cannot be formed in an absolutely superior number,
The encirclement that cannot be broken through, and the ridiculously slow speed are simply the best living targets.
The number of more than fifty animals was obviously not enough to give Li Mengnan and others a crushing advantage, and the open wilderness could not form an effective siege. Under the guerrilla tactics of Li Mengnan and others, the group of living corpses were like onions.
After being peeled off layer by layer, they were quickly and easily slaughtered.
"What we are facing is clearly more dangerous than we imagined."
Li Mengnan threw the dagger in his hand to the ground. The slashing just now had completely curled up the dagger, which was not of good quality, and lost its function as a weapon.
"It's not that serious, right? These things are not difficult for us to deal with. If we have the weapons at hand, even if there are several times more, it will be absolutely no problem."
The fat man Guo Yimin excitedly waved the short sword with the same curling blade. The easy victory in the first battle made his self-confidence seem to be unprecedentedly inflated.
"It is really easy for people with simple thinking to live, I'm really a little envious..."
PADIO used a large dagger about a foot long to pick up the dark black blood stained in his nails - this simple large dagger was obviously a legendary item brought from other worlds. Although the blade was thin, it was extremely strong.
The skull of a living corpse that has not lost its vitality and has become brittle is not much harder than tofu under the tip of a knife.
"Damn! Don't think that because you look like a cute girl, I won't dare to hit you!" Guo Yimin immediately swelled up like an stimulated puffer fish.
Li Mengnan raised his hand to stop the internal strife in the team and said: "PADIO is right, Guo Yimin, you are indeed too optimistic. This is not a game. There is no way to resurrect after death, so no matter how cautious you are, there is nothing wrong..."
Guo Yimin didn't have to listen to what others said, but he was quite convinced of Li Mengnan, so he curled his lips and said nothing.
"What do we do now?"
Dongzi raised his head and glanced at the sky. The sun had completely sunk below the horizon. There was only a faint ray of sunset hanging lifelessly on the distant horizon. It was estimated that it would be completely dark in half an hour.
"At least we should get out of here as soon as possible." Lao Man leaned on his wooden gun and looked around cautiously, as if some terrible monster would rush out of the dark woods at any time.
Everyone looked at each other in silence. Old Man's words were correct, but the problem was that no one knew where to go to find real safety.
"Be careful, something seems to be coming, please stay hidden." Li Mengnan suddenly raised his hand to signal everyone to be silent.
Although the remaining people have not heard any sound yet, they do not doubt Li Mengnan's judgment. Dreamwalkers are different from ordinary people, and it is not uncommon for some monsters with extraordinary talents.
The dark environment approaching night gave everyone the best protection. Without deliberately hiding, Li Mengnan and others quickly blended into the surrounding night.
Not long after, dots of fire appeared from the end of the forest path on one side, and approached at extremely fast speeds in the direction where Li Mengnan and others were hiding. The dull and chaotic sound of horse hooves could be heard faintly.
A group of heavily armed men and horses ran out of the woods holding torches and soon stopped at the place where they had just killed the living corpse.
"They are the legendary aborigines." PADIO whispered.
Each legendary land is equivalent to a complete world. There are not only chaotic and disordered monsters like the Gaiyali world, but also conscious beings that are completely harmless to dreamwalkers. They live in the legendary land just like ordinary people in the real world.
in the small world.
Like those passers-by who serve as the background in sleep.
Li Mengnan nodded. The team of men and horses not far away were all wearing armor. The thick plate armor that shone silver under the torches was all of the same style. A unified badge could also be seen on the shield hanging on the horse's back. This kind of neatness
Uniform standard equipment can obviously only be owned by the regular army.
After confirming that there was no danger around, the first knight took off his helmet, revealing a rather tough Western face.
This man raised his hand and gestured to the team behind him, and all the accompanying knights dismounted, drew out their swords from their waists, and struck the living corpses on the ground one by one.
"Captain, we seem to be late, these living corpses have been killed." A knight stepped forward and reported to the blond middle-aged man who led the team.
Guo Yimin, who was lying in the grass, dug his ears, widened his eyes and said in surprise: "Oh no! I am a scumbag who has never passed CET-4, how can I understand what these people are saying?"
PADIO looked at the fat man as if he were an idiot, and said calmly: "Any language is just a consciousness that exists in the brain before it is converted into a sound signal. Now that we are conscious bodies, of course we can understand any language."
"I wiped it? Is there such a thing?" Guo Yimin scratched his head, it was rare that he didn't contradict PADIO.
