Our family is in decline

The appearance of the two monsters made Lance frown. Could this banshee continue to summon these rotten parasites?

"We can't delay it any longer!"

After saying that, he dragged the giant sword and rushed towards the monster. Lance knew exactly what his mission was for, and he had no more time to waste.

As soon as Lance got close to the maid, he opened the two caps that wrapped the upper body, revealing the skull's head that had been dissolved and mixed with fungi.

But what was sprayed out was not spores. At this moment, the air was filled with a strange aura. Lance, who was rushing in front, couldn't help but feel a strange movement in his body.

Aphrodisiac!

He was not the only one who was affected. The soldier-like parasite did not attack, but instead ran over to guard the maid.

But Lance's giant sword was no joke. The old and damaged armor couldn't block the blow and was directly thrown away. The maid hiding behind was naturally revealed.

At this moment, Lance's second sword had already been slashed out, tearing the air with a strange roar under the blessing of arrogant power. It cut between the two pieces of flesh in an instant, completely splitting the upper body.

It is too easy to rely on the power of a giant sword to deal with such a normal-sized monster, which is why he forged this sword.

The soldier who was thrown away still wanted to stand up, but Leonard had already caught up. He had a hard time dealing with the fat man just now, but his strength really exploded when facing this normal human-sized monster. .

After Lance sacrificed the maid, the soldier's body was easily torn apart.

Quickly sacrificing the two monsters, Lance directly used these gifts to strengthen the wolf spirit, preparing to tear the banshee into pieces to avoid further summons.

It's just that after the death of these four monsters, the banshee seemed to have been severely injured. Her figure became thinner and her appearance became different. The white arm was raised and pointed at the raised mushroom forest, and the other hand Hiding his face and sobbing.

This suddenly made Lance and the others feel weird. It was also the first time they encountered a spirit like a banshee, and their aggressive actions suddenly stopped.

Lance only hesitated for a moment before striding over. He was not afraid of any traps.

He swung his giant sword to slash open the huge mushroom forest in front of him, and the aroused spores made a crackling sound in the flames.

Also using the firelight, Lance saw a tombstone hidden inside.

cemetery?

Not everyone is qualified to be buried in the church cemetery after death, because that thing requires payment, but it is still a lot of money.

Ordinary families dig food from the fields and have very little money left under the high taxes, so even if they want to bury it if they don’t have money, they can’t. The church does not save the poor.

Of course, there is another situation, that is, the deceased was not recognized by the church during his lifetime. For example, if he did not pay taxes, he would naturally not be buried in it. This is a way for the church to manipulate ordinary people.

This situation then gave rise to cemeteries outside the church, which are the real places where ordinary people go after death.

In fact, there are too many such cemeteries in the wilderness and old roads, which reflects the huge casualties caused by the changes in the past. But now this tomb is a bit strange, not an isolated grave.

Lance sped up his progress and cleared out the bulge with just a few swords. Only then did he realize that it was actually a group of tombs with five tombstones stuck crookedly on it.

Four of these graves have been dug up, and it is obvious that the four monsters just emerged from the ground.

Now there was only the middle one left. Lance looked back and looked at where the banshee was pointing.

He inserted the giant sword directly into the ground and dug up the soil, revealing a wooden coffin that was rotten by insects.

Just when Lance was about to pry open the coffin, they couldn't help but give advice.

"Sir, be careful there is a problem."

"Could it be a trap?"

"Will taking it apart anger the succubus?"

Several people around him tried to persuade Lance to listen, but they did not shake his determination.

"Open the coffin and conduct an autopsy!"

Lance said as he forcefully inserted the giant sword into the gap and pried open the coffin lid, but when the situation inside was revealed, everyone who was nervous and cautious became confused.

Because there was no body in the coffin, but a white dress stained with old blood, together with the exquisite hat.

Cenotaph?

What about the body?

Lance knew that the matter was far from over, because a hand ax that was also stained with blood struck the bottom of the coffin, nailed the clothes to it, and wrote and drew some mysterious runes on the inside of the coffin.

He could feel the extraordinary spirituality revealed on the axe, and at the same time he could feel that it was a ban.

As for the target, there is no need to guess who it is, because the clothes are exactly the same as those on the banshee.

If you follow the three principles of extraordinary beings, you will definitely not dare to mess around with these unknown rituals and props. Even if you want to study them, you must be fully prepared.

But Lance showed no fear at all and actually reached out and pulled out the axe.

Without him, he is simply confident that even if something goes wrong, he is confident that he can solve it.

The moment the ax was pulled out, he could feel that a certain ritual was broken and a force was released.

Turning back to look at the banshee, she was not furious. On the contrary, the mutated fingers that looked like scimitars returned to normal. She intertwined her hands in front of her body and could see that the distorted facial features had turned into a slightly delicate one. face.

What was even more surprising was that the banshee actually bowed slightly towards them, with a hint of spirituality in her empty expression, as if she was not some mindless monster.

"I don't know what happened to you, but I'm deeply sorry, but you can tell us where the enemy is, I..."

Before Lance could finish speaking, the banshee, who had regained her composure, raised her hand and pointed to the depths of the wilderness, while an ethereal voice sounded.

"relief……"

As he said that, he floated up. This scene made Lance and the others a little confused.

"Sir, what should we do now?"

"Want to follow?"

"A monster doesn't seem believable."

"This is a fungal parasite. You can tell it's the work of a witch at a glance. The banshee must know something. Anyway, we don't have any clues yet. Let's follow it and take a look first."

Lance made the decision. He naturally knew the risks. After all, it was ridiculous to believe in a banshee.

But to understand the plight they are facing now, they have lost the clue when they entered this completely corrupted wilderness, and now there is only this way.

The other people didn't have any objections. They simply packed up and walked in the direction pointed by the banshee. At this time, the banshee didn't know where she went and disappeared into the wilderness...

Lance glanced ahead. It was already hazy now, which meant that they had traveled almost half the night, and as the team advanced in the wilderness, a breathtaking scene appeared in front of them.

There are no normal plants around at all, they are all mushrooms, not to mention the terrifying size of these mushrooms.

In the past, they could only be regarded as side dishes at the tomb. However, the mushrooms here are thicker and taller than people. They are too big for two people to hold them, and their heights range from three to ten meters.

The shadow cast alone can completely block people, not to mention the light yellow mist filling the air, which is the spores emitted by the mushrooms.

This scene reminded Lance of the kind of parasites whose heads were devoured by mushrooms. Could these be formed by fungi devouring trees?

Combined with the previous scenes, these fungi will grow wantonly on this land until everything is devoured and twisted, forming a unique environment.

A world built by fungi.

Everything that steps into it is like prey that steps into a trap. It is either assimilated into mushrooms or devoured flesh and blood and turned into nutrients.

This depressing scene put great pressure on everyone, and they even couldn't help but wonder if there was something wrong with the banshee's guidance.

"The mushrooms here are taller and bigger, which means the corruption is earlier and deeper than other places. It proves that this is the core of the enemy, and the route is correct."

Lance must mobilize the team atmosphere at the right time and not let morale tend to be pessimistic and negative.

The others did not speak. They were more afraid of the witch they had never met before than on their way.

What kind of method can create such a weird spore forest?

"Look!"

Soon Disma discovered something, and the discovery was truly shocking.

In this desperate spore forest, a field appeared without any warning. All kinds of rare medicinal materials grew on it. It seemed that they were all well taken care of. Some were so rare that even Lance couldn't recognize them.

"Someone is farming here, and the enemy is definitely nearby!"

…………

"Bah!"

The witch raised her hand and poured the thick soup on the large cocoon made of thorns, which instantly corroded the surface and turned it into pieces of dead branches that shattered on the ground.

It can be seen that the thorns that could grow back instantly before are now growing much slower. Although they are still recovering, it can be seen from the size of the big cocoon that it has shrunk by one circle. It is obvious that the corrosive decoction was used in this tug of war. The witch is even better.

"Where are you talking about? Oh, by the way..." The witch kept pouring thick soup on the big cocoon. It seemed that she had been living alone in the wilderness all year round and had no one to talk to. She just grabbed the big cocoon and talked to herself. stand up.

"The relationship between me and him had already broken down at that time. He didn't think that herbalism could meet his requirements, so he spent money to hire a group of necromancers and began to study the power of the soul.

He searched all over Hamlet and only found one girl who met the conditions. This is a rare and powerful talent, no less than you and me. He wanted to get that girl.

He used his power to make the girl's father lose everything and become a lunatic who was only capable of drunkenness and domestic violence. He then transferred the girl's husband to join the army so that she could no longer rely on her and endure the torture of domestic violence with her mother. But this level of torture was obviously not enough.

He originally wanted to let the girl's husband die in battle, but soon he came up with a more vicious way to destroy the girl's last bit of rationality.

He directly informed the girl that her husband's military service had ended, but then asked the maid to seduce the girl's husband with aphrodisiacs.

That day the girl put on her most beautiful clothes and prepared to welcome her husband back. Although life was full of hardships for her, she believed that everything would be fine as long as her husband came back, and she still had a glimmer of hope.

But she didn't see her husband come back until evening. Worried, the girl couldn't help but search the town, and finally saw her husband flirting with the maid in a tavern.

At this moment, the emotions that had been accumulated for a long time completely defeated her. According to the guy's expectation, the girl would eventually fall into his hands..."

Speaking of this, the witch laughed wildly, seeming proud of her own methods.

"But he didn't expect that I had noticed his change of heart a long time ago and put a curse on the girl. Under my guidance, the girl went crazy. She took an ax and killed her husband and maid.

When she returned home in despair, she saw an even more tragic scene. Her father was drunk and lying on the side, while her mother collapsed on the ground with a broken wine bottle next to her.

The mother was lifeless and her body was cold, so she took an ax and hacked her father to death. Finally, she realized that there was another person who should die, and pointed the ax at herself.

Under my control, the last ritual was finally completed at this moment, and an extremely pure banshee was born in this desperate soul.

I took action to seize his achievements, and the arrogant man didn't even notice all this. I also gained enough inspiration from the ritual and discovered another path from the rotting corpses of the family.

A path that can fight against flesh and blood, you don’t understand how great I am! Wait until you see my most perfect creation..."

After saying that, the witch stopped and turned around to look outside, but there was a strange smile on her face.

"Looks like a few little mice got in."

As soon as the words were spoken, several people rushed in from outside the manor, and it was the team led by Lance.

After they discovered the medicine field, they quickly found a piece of building ruins. Most of those buildings had collapsed over the years, and only a few low-rise houses still stood in the barren land where no grass grew.

You can also see a well on the side. It looks like a farm that was abandoned in the past has been reused by some beings.

The house looked very dilapidated, and it might not even have the most basic ability to protect it from wind and rain. There was a huge white bone deer head hanging on the door.

But what was even more blasphemous was the cauldron set up in front of the house. Broken bones were scattered everywhere. The origin of these bones could be seen from the majority of skulls.

Not to mention the human skins that were propped up on racks to dry in the surroundings. Although I don’t know what they are used for, it can’t hide that they are eating people!

This scene deeply shocked everyone. Such a crazy cannibal witch must be eliminated!

Lance's eyes were fixed on the huge figure holding up the spoon next to the cauldron.

The witch is more than two meters tall, huge and fat, so fat that even her neck can't be seen, and her fingers are like pig's trotters.

The face was ugly, with particles like abscesses growing on it. The proportions of the facial features were abstract and inhuman. The mouth felt like it could swallow a piglet directly. As for the nose, it was sharp and protruding, not like a human being at all.

However, as a spell caster, she does not have all kinds of weird mushrooms on her body. She wears coarse cloth as a base, and some decorative coats made of leather cloaks and bones.

The various equipment and props on his body were dazzling, the most obvious one being the bone-white deer head hanging on his head, not to mention the dozens of pockets on his belt, which contained various indistinguishable herbs.

It’s just that the material used to sew the coats and make these bags was probably not animal skins at all, but tanned human skins.

They had fought against each other before but had never met each other. Now they were able to meet the mastermind behind this series of events - the witch.
