The knight in the abyss

Chapter 151

"Is this zombie guarding this area?" Kora carefully walked around the almost headless corpse on the ground, "I heard that zombies can still follow simple instructions, it looks like a patrolling guard. "

"I'm afraid not. Zombies can only understand orders to stay here, move forward, and attack an enemy. They can't understand whether the surrounding environment is dangerous. For example, the target is located on the opposite side of a cliff, so it is impossible to execute commands in such a complicated environment." The order to patrol the tunnel." Kara Lin shook his head, "I guess this is another zombie that has escaped the control of the caster and is acting according to some kind of instinct."

"How far are we from the mortuary?" Lancelot asked the kobold guide behind him.

"Half a candle to go!"

"That means we're already halfway there." Brutal nodded. He rubbed his hammer against the wall, trying to clean up the blood and flesh on it, but a whole piece of wall skin fell off.

"Looking at the extent of the decay, the enemy's lair is not far away." Karaline looked at the damage caused by Bruto, "Our enemy probably has a large group of undead guards, pay attention to protect Aramiel when fighting, he The Determination of Fire is the most effective means of ensuring that a fallen foe never rises again."

Everyone nodded in understanding and continued walking forward.The kobold Taka had already stood at the end of the line, and he seemed ready to run away at any time. He only made a sound to remind everyone when he encountered a fork in the road.

They encountered some zombies again, but these slow-moving, mindless enemies posed little threat at all against Lancelot's sharp longsword and Brutal's warhammer.Occasionally, some enemies whose legs were broken by Brutal could continue to attack, but they were all reduced to ashes under the hot holy light of Aramiel.

Karaline's brows tightened.After everyone knocked down eight wandering zombies in a row, he said again:
"Something is wrong."

"What's wrong?" Brutal asked puzzled, "These guys are easy to deal with."

"The undead creatures that a spellcaster can control are limited. A powerful spellcaster can control more, but it is not unlimited. When the upper limit is reached, if you continue to create new undead creatures, the old ones will break away Control." Kara Lin explained, "These zombies seem to be out of control, they no longer have the creator's order in their minds, and they just wander here relying on instinct."

"So?" Brutal still didn't understand what Caralin was worried about, "It doesn't matter how many there are, just kill them all and it's over?"

"The question is, why does this caster keep creating new undead creatures?" Lancelow already understood what Kara Lin meant, "You are worried that the enemy may be conducting some kind of terrible necromancer magic experiment, so there will be So many out-of-control zombies roaming the sewers."

"Experiments on necromancy usually don't have good results." Karaline nodded with a gloomy face. "We may see some more serious things in a while."

"This is the blasphemy of life!" Anger had already begun to gather on the elf priest, "Purification! It must be purified!"

"I have some potions here, maybe they can be useful." Kora took out some small bottles containing light golden potions from his backpack, "This is a potion of courage, it can help you see some more...shocking pictures keep calm."

Karaline took the potion without hesitation and drank it. Unlike Brutal, he could resist the effects of fear purely with anger, and he couldn't rely on the power of gods to face everything like Aramir.

Lancelot also took a bottle. His spiritual sense could not identify the potion effect, but he could vaguely sense whether a certain item was beneficial or harmful to him.The bottle of potion in his hand gave him a good feeling, so he raised his head and drank it.

The taste is not bad, Cora should have added some honey.As for the effect, I can't see it yet.

Brutal wanted to reject Cora's kindness, but seeing his elder brother Lancelot drank, he stopped insisting.Even Aramiel drank a bottle. Sune's priests are not rigid guys. They are not the type of 'as long as they are pious enough, God will take care of everything'. They are happy to adopt any beneficial preparations.

The only thing that is not needed is Ekmon. Considering that 90.00% of his memories currently take place in a desert composed entirely of corpses, any situation related to corpses can only be regarded as a small scene for him.

Everyone walked for a while, and encountered seven or eight zombies gathered together on the road, and they only caused a little trouble.Finally, a group of people came to the entrance of the corpse room mentioned by the dog head population.

The waterway that transports garbage and waste water is designed as a waterfall about twenty feet high. In the middle of the waterfall is a slideway made of metal mesh. The water flow will pass through the gap in the slideway, but any higher Large solids (such as floating corpses) will be caught by this slide, and then sent to the side cave by the force of the fall and the thrust of the flowing water.

I have to say that this is a very ingenious engineering design. Any city in the abyss can produce a large number of corpses every day. This should be an important source of supplies for the kobold tribe living underground, but these corpses happen to be undead Excellent experimental material for mages.

Human wizards who pay more attention to personal hygiene and quality of life generally stay in their mage towers, and use money to hire people to get these experimental materials for them, while an ogre or other creatures don't mind the filth of the sewers environment.

"That's the corpse room, Taka brought you here as agreed!" The kobold pointed to the fork in the passage, and then looked at Lancelot expectantly, but he didn't dare to ask for the promised reward.

"You did a good job, and you are very brave." Lancelot took out another turquoise gem and handed it to the kobold.

The kobold took the gem without saying a word, then turned around and ran away, quickly disappearing from everyone's sight.

"What a coward." Brutal pouted.

"It is the instinct of creatures to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages." Lancelow shook his head, "And I feel that there is indeed a big guy in front of me. Let's get to know the real culprit behind all this."

Everyone agreed in unison, and walked into the dark cave.

After a steep but not long passage, the group found themselves in a spacious hall.The purple demon fire was burning all around, illuminating the underground cave brightly. In the center of the hall was a huge pile of corpses, above which was the end of the slide that caught the corpses, and a huge figure in a cloak was turning around to look at it. to visitors.

"Ah, there are fresh materials again. Are you the adventurers sent by Akmennon? Welcome to my laboratory." The blue-skinned, demonized ogre asked They grinned, "It's a pity that you don't have the chance to be a part of my great creation. I wonder which one of you will be lucky enough to be its first victim?"

　Brothers, have a great weekend~ Let's get a recommendation ticket, don't you roar~
