Soul echo

Chapter 459: Underground Undead
After running for a while, Lilian and the others looked back.

It was found that the person still hadn't fallen into the hands of the pursuers, and was still running desperately, and was getting closer and closer to them.

That figure seemed to be tired too, even Lily could hear his tiredness and weakness from his footsteps.

"Help, help! Yes, it's the undead! The one chasing after me is the undead!"

The man yelled so loudly that it filled the passage.

Hearing this, Lily and the others were startled, and quickly looked at each other.

They discerned each other's intentions from each other's eyes, and immediately, the two stopped almost at the same time and turned to face the person.

Seeing that the light finally stopped, although he didn't know why, the chased person couldn't help showing ecstasy, gritted his teeth and quickened his pace again.

At this time, Lilian heard more and more chaotic footsteps.

Those footsteps all came from behind the chased person, that is to say, behind him, it seemed that a group of undead were really chasing him.

——Lilian has never seen that human footsteps can be so light and heavy, one light and one heavy.

The uncoordinated bodies of the undead caused their steps to be neither light nor heavy when they moved. Sometimes they would take a big step, and the next step would only take half a foot forward.

Because in battle, footwork, listening to the sound, and listening to the sound are very important. Zhong Ye has trained her on these items for a long time. Lilian can naturally tell how much strength the pursuers have used from the sound of those footsteps. .

From the fact that their force is uneven, it can be basically confirmed that those chasing people are undead. Apart from undead, only drunk people will have this kind of footsteps, but is it possible that there are drunk people in this kind of place?

"It's the undead!" Lilian confirmed.

"Ah!"

Lily laughed, untied the backpack, put it aside, swung the ax and gun around, and tried the width and height of the surrounding space.

"If it's an undead, it's much easier to handle."

As she twisted her hands, flames ignited on the ax spear.

Lily stood in the middle of the aisle, holding a burning long-handled weapon in her hand. The burning flames criss-crossed her face, making her extraordinarily enchanting.

The body of the person being chased trembled, as if he had been hit in the heart by something, and subconsciously wanted to stop and fight side by side with the 'Valkyrie' on the opposite side, but his footsteps were slightly slow, and the undead behind him caught up again, and his heart skipped a beat. Not daring to have any other thoughts, he ran away wholeheartedly.

When he passed Lili and the others, he said, "Thank you!"

Then, he ran over directly, leaving them far behind.

"whispering sound!"

Lily spat on the ground, despising that man's behavior.

"coming!"

Even without Lilian's reminder, Lily saw a group of undead stumbling towards them.

Due to the different weights and spans of their footsteps, they walk crookedly, and they don't seem to have much fighting ability.

In fact, the same is true. These undead are probably revived by some coincidence. Their bodies are so decayed that they can no longer support them to continue to move. It is the magic power that supports their bodies.

Facing the group of undead with rusted weapons, Lily shook her head, and swept across with her ax and gun in her hand. The flaming ax blade easily cut off the waist of the pile of mummies, cutting them in half.

After their waists were cut off, only the upper body of the undead could move, but even with only the upper body left, they were still crawling, trying to attack Lily.

However, Lily didn't even look at them, and just walked over them-it was Lilian's job to finish.

Lily slashed at the front, and Lilian pierced the heads of these undead with a light sword in the back, cutting off the connection between their souls and their remnants. Only in this way can they truly perish.

Soon, the entire passage was swept away.

"That's it?" After extinguishing the flame on the ax blade, Lily glanced at the scattered limbs and arms scattered on the ground, and couldn't help but pouted and shook her head.

The strength of these undead was astonishingly low, she really couldn't understand how the guy just ran away after encountering them.

Not to mention her, even ordinary people, as long as they have the right tactics and fight while retreating, it is not difficult to kill all these undead.

Their bodies are very fragile, and they will break with the slightest touch. Although their bones are still quite hard, they can be easily resolved by removing their fighting power first, and then killing them.

How cowardly was that guy just now to run away after seeing this group of undead.

"Go on?" Lilian tilted her head.

"Go ahead." Lily nodded.

That person can't escape, Zhong Ye is still trying to find a way to widen the entrance of the cave, if he wants to escape from here, the only way out is the entrance of the cave, if that person really wants to escape, he will definitely bump into Zhong Ye.

Soon, Lilian and the others returned to the previous fork in the road.

It is amazing to say that this underground passage actually has a fork in the road, and this fork in the road looks like it is man-made.

There were two forks in front of Lilian and the others, one was passed by the person just now, and no one knew what was inside the other, so they looked around at the intersection and decided to go to the marked fork .

Although this fork in the road had already been walked by people, they still raised their vigilance and were cautious.

In the industry of adventurers, those who are powerful may not necessarily live long, and those who are cautious are the ones who can live the longest.

Compared with the straight road outside, after entering the side road, Lilian and the others walked much slower, holding up the torch from time to time to observe the surroundings.

The fork wasn't high enough or wide enough for Lily to wield her ax here, so the two switched places, letting Lillian walk ahead.

But soon, they came to the end of this fork in the road.

Looking at the excavation marks on the soil layer at the end, Lilian gestured with her hands, and exclaimed, "It seems to have been dug out by hand."

"That guy just ran into this fork, that is to say, those undead he provoked were just a group of laborers?" Thinking of this, Lily couldn't laugh or cry.

No wonder those undead are so weak in fighting power, they are just a group of 'labourers'?
However, how could there be undead workers in such a place...

Looking at the traces in front of her eyes, Lily said with emotion: "It seems that we have really found the right direction."

Someone is controlling these undead and using them to dig a passage, but this passage is obviously not very stable, it is a dangerous building, and it won't last long.

Lilian and the others took a few glances and left.

When they returned to the fork in the road, they saw a fire approaching from a distance. When they looked closely, they were very happy.

"teacher!"

"Zhong, you're finally here!"

There was a dejected person beside Zhong Ye, and from his appearance, he must have tried to escape from Zhong Ye more than once, but was caught by Zhong Ye.

Seeing that guy, Lily and the others couldn't help laughing: "You just provoked a group of laborers. You are so weak, and you still escaped?"

As they spoke, they told Zhong Ye about the 'undead laborers'.

Zhong Ye's eyebrows twitched when he heard it. Someone is controlling the undead to dig a cave?

That fork in the road has been determined to be dug out by the undead, so what about the other one?

"...It's a tomb."

The tomb robber standing beside Zhong Ye suddenly said: "I found the clues based on the rumors in some surrounding villages. It is said that there was a legendary knight whose family was persecuted at the last moment of his life. He killed the nobles who persecuted his family in a fit of anger. , and then came here and buried himself.

"The ancestors of the surrounding villages may be the descendants of the workers and gravekeepers he invited to help dig the tomb. It's just that time has passed so long that they have forgotten about it."

In other words, another fork leads to a tomb?
