Soul echo

Chapter 400 Druid
Constantia has become a hunting ground for living animal corpses. The towering city walls were originally an obstacle to restricting human corpses from leaving Constantia and wreaking havoc on the northern border of Hallstatt. Become a cage for food.

The large army of players withdrew from Constantia, and there were only a few players who liked fighting and Zhong Ye and the others staying here.

A few of them stood on the city wall, watching the living human corpses in the city being culled and devoured by the living animal corpses, and watching the living animal corpses continue to grow stronger, but there was nothing they could do.

They could only watch all this happen, even Zhong Ye couldn't do anything at this time.

There is still hope for all the human living corpses to be wiped out. After all, no matter how large the population of Constantia is, it is only tens of thousands at most. Even if the human living corpses can eat and become stronger, as long as most of the living corpses have eaten many times, they will all be wiped out. There will be no problem with eradication.

However, animal corpses are different.

Their number far exceeds that of humans, and Zhong Ye even doubts that they can continue to reproduce even after they become living corpses.

Humans need ten months to conceive. Even if a living corpse can conceive, it will take at least seven months to give birth to a child.

The living corpses of animals are different. In addition to mammals such as cats, dogs, and mice, insects such as moths, maggots, and cockroaches are also infected by the plague of living corpses.

Their reproductive ability far exceeds that of humans, even if they can wipe out all the living animal corpses on the surface, it is difficult to keep the eggs.

It is extremely difficult to completely eliminate living animal corpses, and the difficulty is at least several orders of magnitude higher than that of human living corpses.

Therefore, they can only watch the living animal corpses prey on the living human corpses, and occasionally throw blazing glue to kill some living animal corpses. Other than that, they can't do anything.

During this period, not all human corpses will be hunted and killed by animal corpses, and there are some stronger human corpses that can counter-kill animal corpses.

In order to kill some larger animal corpses, they even learned how to use 'weapons'!
Their potential is too terrifying, and it is for this reason that they need to be wiped out completely.

After watching the scene of animal corpses preying on human corpses for a while, Zhong Ye turned his attention to the depths of Constantia.

"Zhong, I remember you said..."

Looking at the chaotic scene in the city, Lily frowned, "Do you suspect that there is a 'ruler' behind these living animal corpses?"

"Yes." Zhong Ye nodded, "If there is nothing to restrain them, it is impossible for them to wait until this time to emerge from the ground, and once they emerge, they will choose to attack human corpses."

Hearing their conversation, a player on the side asked a question: "So, the reason why the animal corpses attack the human corpses is because they are animals? And the human corpses are human beings before they are alive, so they will not attack the human corpses." What about attacking each other?"

"No, not so."

Zhong Ye shook his head and said, "When we entered Constantia a few days ago, we encountered a group of rat kings. The group of rats was hiding in an alley. They made a lot of noise, enough to attract human corpses. However, before we killed the group of rats, the human corpses did not respond to the movement they made, that is to say, the reason why they did not attack each other was probably because they were all infected The plague of living corpses."

Hearing this, the faces of the players showed 'so that's how it is'.

This was also a scene that Lilian had broadcast live before, but the people present either hadn't seen it or had forgotten it.

——Who would have thought that such details could reveal the truth that the living corpses do not attack each other?
Because of this, Zhong Ye wondered if there was a ruler behind the group of animal corpses...

The players looked at the city thoughtfully, and suddenly someone suggested: "So, after we kill the ruler, will this plague be over?"

"No." Zhong Ye shook his head again, "I suspect that after killing the ruler, these animal corpses will no longer be under control and stay in Constantia, but will leave here and go to other places……"

In this case, it is really troublesome!
They have almost controlled the plague in the northern part of Hallstatt. As long as the epidemic in those few towns is brought under control, the plague will be almost over.

Finally, the living corpses of Constantia and the living corpses of animals in the wilderness will be eliminated, and this terrible plague will be officially ended.

But if the animal corpses of Constantia leave the city and go to other places, they are very likely to cross the defense line formed by the players and go to other areas. In this way, their efforts will be in vain, and the mission will be lost It's bound to fail, so they can't let that happen.

"But if this continues, the animal corpses will become stronger, and there will be no food for them in Constantia. At that time, won't they still leave Constantia?" a player questioned.

Zhong Ye nodded first, agreeing with his statement, and then said in a deep voice, "As long as we get rid of all these animal corpses before then, that's fine."

"what?"

Everyone stared blankly at Zhong Ye, not quite understanding what he was talking about.

Animal corpses are more difficult to destroy than human corpses, so what method will they use to destroy them?

"fire!"

Zhong Ye guessed the doubts in people's hearts, so before they asked the question, he said directly: "Use a big fire to burn the whole of Constantia!"

I didn't choose to do this before because the cost of doing so is too high.

Constantia, even in this era, has a population of nearly [-], and is adjacent to a lake with high humidity.

It is not an easy task to burn down an entire city with a big fire.

It would be too expensive to do so, and I don't know if it can be done.

After all, there are only so many towns around Constantia, and with so many towns added up, I don't know if it is possible to gather more than [-] tons of inflammable materials.

But now, even if they don't want to do that, there is no other way.

To completely eliminate these animal corpses, the only way to do so is to burn the entire Constantia.

"I have asked other people to collect kerosene and matches, but I don't know when they will come back..."

Zhong Ye couldn't help sighing, then he suddenly turned his head and looked behind him.

People followed his gaze and found a small black spot in the sky.

Soon the little black dot approached and landed on the battlements behind them.

A druid in animal skin stepped off the back of a giant eagle that was more than twice the size of other falcons. Immediately, the body of the giant eagle behind him also began to change, turning into a human.

"Druid?" Zhong Ye raised his eyebrows, he had a very bad impression of this group of people.

"We... are here... to make atonement."

The druid who had turned into a giant eagle knocked and said, "The man in the city... is our companion."

"It's really you!"

Lilian took a step forward and glared at the two druids, "The teacher guessed before that only a druid can command so many animals - he guessed that it was you who caused Constancia's current situation. This situation!"

"Yes, we're sorry..."

The druid, who had always been in human form, sighed, his Westland language was much more fluent than the other druid.

"So, we came here to redeem our sins..."
