  Chapter 164 Cry in the Graveyard

  Frankly speaking, going to the cemetery at night is not a very good experience.

  Even less after hearing a ghost story.

   "Can't we come back during the day?"

  Hiding behind Duanmu Huai, Gu Leya looked around anxiously and whispered. The old Bent next to her was also in a cold sweat, and he couldn't help nodding.

   "Just kidding, we didn't come here for fun, but to investigate. What if we scare something away during the day?"

what? !

  Hearing Duanmu Huai's answer, Gu Leya was even more silent, and dared not speak any more.

   "But having said that... your cemetery is really big..."

Standing at the gate of the cemetery, Duanmuhuai looked inside curiously, and saw that under the moonlight, the whole cemetery was dead silent, and a layer of faint mist echoed in it, other than that, there was no sound at all. , It feels like entering a dead land.

   Not only that, as Duanmuhuai said, the area of ​​this cemetery is very large, even about the size of a small town.

   "There's no other way. In the war with the elves... many people died..."

  When it comes to this topic, Old Bent is also a little bit embarrassed.

   "At that time, most of the young people in the town went to serve in the army, but only a few came back in the end... Hey..."

   "That's what war is."

   Duanmuhuai glanced at the cemetery in front of him, then looked away.

   "Then, first take us to the graves of the four dead."

"yes."

  Led by Old Bent, the three of them came to the tomb located deep in the cemetery. The tomb here had already been dug up, and the surrounding soil piles, iron shovel and other tools could even be seen. It looked as if he was put down after half of his work, Duanmuhuai looked around carefully, and then asked.

   "Is there no one to take care of it?"

   "I'm afraid no one dared to enter the cemetery during this time, so they can just leave it like this."

"Um………"

  Hearing Old Bent's answer, Duanmuhuai nodded, and then he turned on the searchlight, illuminating the dim tomb in front of him. In the tomb, there was only an ordinary-looking wooden coffin inside. Duanmuhuai stretched out his hand, picked up the lid of the coffin, and then saw the empty coffin inside, and... a big hole.

   "So you mean, those bodies escaped from this hole?"

Duanmuhuai pointed to the cave at the head of the coffin, looked at old Bent and asked, it was a cave that looked slightly larger than a human head, as if it had been dug out by some wild beast, it was pitch black inside, even Even if you use a searchlight to shine in, you can't see anything.

"Yes……"

   "Oh, this is interesting."

   Duanmu Huai raised his head and smiled.

   "Okay, let's go and see the other three tombs."

Soon, everyone looked through the three nearby tombs, and found that they were all the same as the first tomb. Something made a hole from the ground, and then dug to the top of the coffin, then dug through the coffin, and buried the corpse. Take away, at least for now, these corpses seem to have indeed disappeared in the cave, and then disappeared.

"Um………"

   After inspecting the four tombs, Duanmuhuai thought for a while, then looked to the side.

   "Have you dug these tombs?"

   "Of course not."

  Old Bent shook his head vigorously, then he seemed to think of something, and looked at Duanmuhuai anxiously.

   "Do you mean that the bones inside are also..."

   "It's too boring to dig a hole in the ground just to steal four corpses. If it were me, it would be stealing anyway. Wouldn't it be better to steal more?"

While speaking, Duanmu Huai walked to the nearby grave, and then stretched out his hand. Soon, with the effect of the gravity glove, the soil covered by the grave in front of him rolled to both sides automatically at the next moment. Seeing this scene, Old Bent's eyes widened in surprise, but he still knew he couldn't speak, so he hurriedly covered his mouth. Gu Leya next to her was hiding behind Duanmu Huai, only daring to quietly stare at the tomb in front of her. Although she is a dragon and a mage, she has never done such a thing as digging a grave in the cemetery in the middle of the night!

   At this moment, Gu Leya couldn't help but recall what An Zai said to herself before leaving.

   "It won't be boring to be with Mr. Knight, it's super exciting and interesting! Try it and you'll know!"

  Hmmm... It's super exciting to dig graves in the cemetery in the middle of the night, but it's not fun at all!

  Although Gu Leya was screaming in her heart, Duanmu Huai didn't care about her fragile little heart. He reached out, grabbed the coffin board again, and lifted it up, but... there was nothing inside.

"how come!?"

   Seeing this, Old Bent finally couldn't hold back and cried out. As a person who has lived here all the time, Old Bent naturally knows the situation of this town very well. The owner of this tomb died of illness two years ago, and his body is still missing? Moreover, on the top of his coffin, a hole was also dug!

   Difficult, could it be that...

  Thinking of this, Old Bent looked around at the tombs around him, swallowing involuntarily.

  The entire cemetery? All hollowed out?

   No, not so exaggerated!

Duanmuhuai said before that this cemetery is almost as big as a small town, but he is not exaggerating. After all, people are dying more and more. Although there is no need for a room as big as a living person, each grave is not small. The entire cemetery There are probably thousands of dead people buried, but could it be that these dead people were all taken away? No way, some people have been dead for hundreds of years, I'm afraid there are no bones left...

  But Duanmu Huai didn't care what old Bent was thinking. He dug up the nearby tombs one by one, and the results showed that the dead inside, no matter how many years they had been dead, were basically gone!

   "Interesting, what does this guy want so many dead bones for?"

  Looking at the date on the tombstone in front of him, and then at the empty tomb in front of him, Duanmu Huai was speechless. The bones that have been dead for ten years are not let go. Do you want to take them back to grind your dog's teeth, or do you plan to make bone broth?

  Although Duanmu Huai had already guessed that this mission would not be easy because of the system prompt, he never expected that it would be so weird.

   "Well, next, let's look at this last tomb."

At this moment, Duanmuhuai has dug all the way to the edge of this row, which is also the part closest to the edge of the cemetery. At present, more than ten graves in this row have been dug up by Duanmuhuai, and all the coffins are empty. One person, the next one is probably... huh?

  However, when Duanmu Huai was going to open the blind box as a routine, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

   Could these ten companies also ship?

  Thinking of this, Duanmuhuai grabbed the lid of the coffin and lifted it directly.

"ah---!"

   Seeing what was in the coffin, Guleya screamed in fright, and Old Bent next to him sat down on the ground.

   It’s no wonder that the two of them were so terrified, because this coffin blind box is different from others, not only is it not empty, it even contains a person!

  It was a man who looked about forty or fifty years old. He was wearing a yellow robe, with round eyes and a hideous complexion. He seemed to be dying in extreme pain.

   "Yes, Mr. Pastor!"

  Looking at the man in front of him, Old Bent also screamed.

   "Priest? Is that the priest you said managed the cemetery and then disappeared?"

   "Yes, yes, how could he be here..."

  Looking at the pastor's body in front of him, Old Bent also muttered to himself. Before the pastor disappeared, many people wondered if it was his fault, but unexpectedly, he died? And was buried in a tomb?

  However, the unexpected things have just begun.

   At this moment, I saw the pastor's body and suddenly moved. Seeing this scene, Gu Leya grabbed Duan Muhuai's hand in fright.

   "Ride, Mr. Knight, he's moving!"

   "I see, can you not be so nervous?"

   Duanmu Huai glanced at Gu Leya speechlessly. It is normal for this world to have demons and ghosts. You are still a mage. Can you cheer up? Although there seems to be no Necromancer in Manalia, this thing is... not unfamiliar to you, right?

  But soon, Duanmuhuai found that the corpse in front of him seemed to be a bit different, he actually opened his mouth slowly and actively!

Um? Could it be that this corpse can speak?

While Duanmuhuai was staring intently, he saw that the pastor's mouth grew bigger and bigger, and then - a furry, chubby mouse got out of it, it raised its head, stared at the people in front of it, and let out a There was a squeak!

At the same time, the entire body of the pastor began to rise and fall gradually, and then mice emerged from his mouth and gaps in his body like gushing springs, almost filling the entire body in the blink of an eye. grave!

   "Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!!"

  Hundreds of mice surged densely in the pits of the tomb, which made one's scalp tingle. Not only that, but at this moment, everyone found that groups of rats were also pouring out of the tombs that had been dug up all around, and even the tombs not far away that hadn't had time to be opened. The soil is also surging, and it seems that there is something wandering in it.

   Soon, the tomb surged high, and a large hole emerged from it, followed by countless rats gushing out of it in groups, spreading out like a black flood.

   Seeing this scene, Gu Leya's nerves were tense, and she finally broke the line completely.

   "Don't ahhhhhhhhh!!!"

Accompanied by the scream that broke through the sky, a torrent of scorching flames suddenly erupted and rushed into the tomb in front of him. In the blink of an eye, the bright red flames turned the rats surging in the tomb together with the priest's corpse into ash. Not only that, after that, the flames spurted from Guleya's right hand that turned into a dragon's claw directly rushed into the tunnel below, and immediately the entire cemetery was shocked, and then, the ground in the cemetery burst open instantly. Come, it turned into a huge pothole, swallowing the three of them completely in an instant!
