Chapter 46 Corpse Exorcist

Chapter 46 Corpse Exorcist

"What's that sound?" I asked in confusion.

Xiao Jie suddenly became serious.

"Hide!" he growled.

Xiao Jie didn't know what the sound of the copper bell meant, but since it was unknown, there were only two possible results, good or bad. There was a 50% chance of danger, so it would be natural to hide first.

We quickly found a big tree surrounded by weeds and hid behind it. I was obedient and squatted behind the tree side by side with Xiao Jie. We used the third-person perspective to observe the surroundings, so that we could monitor the movements around us without being discovered.

Just as the two hid, they saw a group of dozens of soulless zombies walking on the path in the distance. They were like a parade, moving slowly along the path.

Ding-a-ling!
A man in a black robe and wearing a bamboo hat walked behind the team, shaking a bell in his hand, driving these soulless zombies away like sheep. Every time he rang the bell, the soulless zombies would speed up like a frightened flock of sheep.

Wu Gang (Corpse Driver): Elite, Level 9. HP: 440.

Several huge, deformed, yet skinny gray dogs followed the man in black robe. A soulless zombie walked a little slower and was suddenly pounced to the ground by a big dog. The other gray dogs immediately surrounded it and started to bite it. The soulless zombie was bitten to death in two or three bites, but the man in black robe didn't care at all and continued to ring the bell.

Xiao Jie was frightened. He stared at the big dog through the gaps in the weeds for a few seconds, and his ability to identify wild animals came in handy immediately.

【Corpse Hound (Corrupted Beast): Level 6. HP: 160.

Taming Difficulty: Impossible to tame.

Skills: Violent Bite LV2, Corpse Poison Fang LV2, Corpse Eating LV2, Rush LV2.

Beast Information: A wild dog that has been eating corpses for a long time, causing its body and mind to gradually fall into corruption. Due to the accumulation of corpse poison, the enemy bitten will be harmed by the corpse poison. It can restore health by eating corpses. Its semi-undead body makes it more difficult to kill. 】

I rely on!

Xiao Jie's heart suddenly felt cold, this thing's combat power was only slightly weaker than the Lost Soul Bandits, but they were outnumbered and had the skill of running wildly. If they were discovered, a group of corpse-eating dogs would surround them and they would probably die here.

Fortunately, because of their previous hunting experience, the two chose to ambush from a low point, so they should not be discovered.

At this moment, neither of them dared to move. Xiao Jie even sent a private message to me, Yu Chengxian - don't move.

Wo Yu Cheng Xian was obviously aware of the danger, so the two of them hid behind a tree and watched these soulless zombies slowly moving through the woods.

Not far away, a soulless zombie suddenly appeared out of nowhere. It was just swiped out and was immediately driven by the bell and swept into the team.

Xiao Jie thought to himself, so that's how it is. The soulless zombies nearby should have been driven away by this corpse driver.

It was not until the zombies had left for a few minutes and Xiao Jie was sure they were far away that he breathed a sigh of relief.

Damn, I’m scared to death.

Fortunately, I hid quickly.

The two men stood up from their hiding place and looked in the direction where the zombies were leaving, both feeling a sense of fear.

At this time, several crows flapped their wings and landed around the corpse. The corpse had been gnawed by several cadaver dogs, and only bones were left. The crows did not despise it and pecked at the remaining flesh.

"Haha, these stinky dogs don't even leave a whole piece of meat."

"Haha, stinky dog, stinky dog."

"Haha, there are demons and monsters everywhere. We can't eat seeds or meat. We can't live like this."

Xiao Jie's eyes lit up when he heard this. Yes, these crows flying in the sky should be able to know where what kind of monsters spawn and where are suitable for leveling up.

"Hey, you guys, let's chat for a while."

The crows were startled and were about to fly away with their wings flapping. Xiao Jie hurriedly said, "Don't go, I mean no harm."

"Quack, quack, human, you can speak crow language, quack, what are you?"

"Haha, it's a monster. It must be a monster."

"Quack, listen to what he says first. Humans can't fly, so we don't have to worry about him being bad."

Three crows were circling above Xiao Jie's head, making shrill cries. Xiao Jie could hear them clearly, but to my ears, it just sounded like a noise.

However, he could hear Xiao Jie's voice clearly.

He thought to himself, what's wrong with Brother Feng? He was actually talking to Crow. He was wise enough not to interrupt, but just listened.

"I want to ask you something. Are there any weaker monsters around here?"

I thought these crows would take the opportunity to gain benefits, but I got the answer immediately.

"Haha, I know, I know. There is a wheat field in the east. There are many scarecrows. The scarecrows are very bad. Go and beat them up!"

"Quack, quack, quack, right, right, the scarecrow is bad, go beat the scarecrow."

"Quack, kill the scarecrow and eat the seeds!"

Xiao Jie asked curiously, "Scarecrow? What kind of monster is that? Is it difficult to fight?"

I finally couldn't help it at this moment, "Brother Feng, are you talking to the crow?"

Xiao Jie did not hide it, "Yes, I learned the art of animal language before, which allows me to talk to animals. They said there is a scarecrow nearby. Do you know what kind of monster that is?"

"It should be a demonized scarecrow, a very weak monster, similar to a soulless zombie, but it has a fire hug skill that does very high damage. If you're not careful, you might be killed instantly."

"How do you know? Have you ever fought?"

"No, but it is mentioned in the strategy book my brother left me."

Xiao Jie immediately felt that this was worth a try. "Okay, let's go and give it a try. Ladies and gentlemen, please lead the way."

"Haha, come with me, human, I'll take you there."

"Here, here, quack."

A few crows cried loudly and flew away into the distance.

The two of them hurriedly followed.

I don't dare go to the north for the time being. Those soulless zombies are nothing, but the number of cadaver dogs is really too scary. These four-legged monsters are the most deadly. Once discovered, I can't run away.

Not to mention there is an elite monster, and the bandits on the western hillside haven't refreshed for a while, so in that case, let's go to the east and take a look.

The two followed the crow and passed through the sparse woods. Suddenly, the view in front of them opened up and they saw a large open field, which looked very spacious at a glance.

The weedy wheat fields are scattered around, glowing green, and a few abandoned barns and farmhouses can be seen in the distance.

This should be the place where people used to farm in Ginkgo Valley, but now it has been abandoned.

Wild wheat and weeds grow together, indistinguishable from each other, but the outlines of the former farmlands can still be seen from the ridges.

Rabbits can be seen among the grass, but the most eye-catching are the scarecrows used to scare away birds. Somehow, each of them has come to life and is moving slowly and aimlessly in the farmland with staggering steps, like puppets.
