Chapter 291 Super Mass Burial Mound(2/2)
If it is just a few graves, it would be fine. The key is that the mass grave is not understood. It is completely different from modern cemeteries. It is called mass graves because the bodies are buried randomly, and some are not even buried at all. Better ones have a simple grave, which does not even have a monument. Ordinary ones are just digging a hole and burying it directly, and some are placed in the coffin and are still in the open air. Even worse, some are not handled at all. It is basically equivalent to throwing the body directly and throwing it at that time.
However, except for those who are buried in the coffin, the others are actually the same ending. Those who are buried directly with soil will mostly be dug out by the beasts during the day. Then the corpses are dragged everywhere. The ones placed in the coffin are a little better. Although they are not buried, the coffin can ensure that the beasts cannot enter. However, the wood will rot over time. The corpses will still be exposed. However, at that time the corpses are no longer attractive to the beasts. Therefore, they are usually not destroyed, and at most they will be exposed.
Of course, it is not to say that the coffin is definitely better. Because sometimes people who come to the mass grave to throw the corpses will open the unburned coffins to see if there is anything to take inside. Of course, those who can throw them here are poor people, so there will be no burial objects, but there are always clothes. Those who can come here to throw corpses cannot be rich people, they are all miserable, so they sometimes don’t let go of clothes, even if those things are things on dead people.
If slums are the dark side of the living world, this mass grave is the dark side of the dead world, and the dirty and messy are the portrayal of this. Of course, dirty and messy are for the dead, and there is probably only fear left for the living people when they come here.
After seeing this, the four people behind me all instinctively paused for a moment, and then quickly started to take sides. Obviously, the times they had been here before were not in vain, at least they knew how to deal with such places. Of course, although this mass grave is actually more terrifying than the previous village, it is often not so easy to scare people. The key is that this place is relatively open and there will be no sudden things that will scare you. It is just a dead person or a ghost or something. Although it is quite terrifying, players can overcome it after adapting for a long time. It is because of this reason that the latter people perform much better than before, at least they have the appearance of doing tasks.
We continued to move forward with these people, and we had to watch our feet move carefully. Because there was no normal road on the ground, we could only find a way to walk by ourselves. Less than five steps, I encountered a pit dug by a beast. There was a mummy underneath that was looking at the sky. When I appeared at the entrance of the cave, the mummy's eyes turned to look at me. It was obviously a zombie. But I didn't care about this guy at all, because not only did his lower body disappear, but he also had one arm missing. He could not get up with one arm alone.
After crossing this big hole, there was a grave bag in front, which seemed to be very old. I carefully disturbed the front, and then I found a skeleton rack on the ground on the other side of the grave bag. Carefully pulled it aside with my feet, and I had to retreat for a short while because I could no longer walk in front. I had been looking down at my feet seriously, but I didn't notice that there was a big pit in front, half a basketball court, and it was full of corpses of varying degrees of decay. They were thrown in a mess, and it looked like a corpse throwing pit, and many of the corpses were moving inside, which was obviously a concentration point for zombies.
After I stepped back a little, I could only walk around the edge of the pit, and then after a few steps, I saw a pretty beautiful female ghost sitting on a grave buckle and waved to me: "Master, come here and sit down?"
When I heard this, my first reaction was not to go over, but to look back at the people and asked, "Why are there any ghosts doing this in this place?"
The mage said awkwardly: "Maybe it was done by this before my lifetime, so I'm used to it!"
I shook my head incomprehensible and could only continue to get closer, because I had to go forward, because I had to pass by the female ghost. I had no choice but to go there. Fortunately, although this female ghost had been guiding us over with words, she always sat on the grave and never moved her position. To be honest, I regret not bringing the gold coins now.
It is obviously a mistake for the Tsar to ask me to do this task, but this mistake is understandable. After all, he is a Russian and does not understand our country's culture. For Taoists, in the minds of foreigners, they are probably just Eastern magicians. After all, Chinese culture is too complicated, and it is not easy for foreigners to understand it in half. More people rely entirely on guessing. Therefore, when the Tsar heard that this task is related to ghosts and zombies, his first reaction was that this was a undead mission, so he should find me, a strong man from the dark system, to complete it, because I have a good way to deal with the undead.
The Tsar's idea is right so far, but the problem is that he doesn't know that the monsters and ghosts in our culture do not fully meet the characteristics of Western undead creatures. Although the game system needs universality and does not refer to Chinese legends completely, there are actually some differences. I initially thought this was an ordinary task, but when I got here, I finally understood. This is completely arranged for players of the Taoist profession. It is not arranged for players of the undead system at all.
I have only a limited understanding of these ghosts and other things I see now. If it were a full-time Taoist priest of gold coins here, she would definitely be able to handle these things easily. After all, she is professional and matched!
Although I don’t know why the female ghost didn’t leave the grave, it was a good thing for us. So I didn’t care much about it and kept moving forward.
People describe a place where guards are so cold that they would say that this place is five steps, one stand, ten steps, one whistle, and this mass grave is completely five steps, one grave, ten steps, one ghost. From the beginning of entering here, I can’t walk on both sides. I have passed by at least twenty graves and countless corpses that are still there. During this period, I encountered dozens of living zombies and wandering souls, and the number is already scary.
To be honest, I haven't brought enough things. If I have all the equipment, I will set up a spirit gathering formation here. In twelve hours, it will probably be able to pull out hundreds of thousands of skeleton legions and zombie army. If any player who practices the Necromancer profession has more money and patience and enough level, it will be no problem to squat him here for three or five days, and then gather a undead army to take it out to slaughter the city. Of course, those among the Taoist priests who are good at exorcizing ghosts also have similar effects here, but it is definitely not as convenient as the undead priests. The route that the Taoist profession in our country drives undead creatures and those undead priests in Europe is completely reversed. The weight of the undead priests does not emphasize quality, while the Taoist priests in our country emphasize quality but not weight.
I finally jumped and jumped all the way through this turning valley, and then turned to the right, and I was stunned. My first reaction when I saw the valley just now was that the mass grave was indeed not small. But it felt quite small and did not surprise me. However, when I got here, I suddenly realized that the area just now was just the entrance, and the large open valley in front of me should be the main body, and the area was at least dozens of times the size of the area just now. Looking around, the two mountains were completely blocked by graves and coffins. As for the ghost... Have you seen the downtown area during holidays? It was almost that way.
"Your sister! This must be hundreds of thousands, right?"
"I don't know, we don't have time to count." After the mage said, "President Zi Ri, we are going to separate from you in front. The things we are looking for are in this area. Your mission is probably going forward, so we won't go in with you. When we go in there, we will die, and we can only get some stuff on this periphery."
I nodded and said goodbye to them, and then took the Tsar to continue walking. Compared to me, the Tsar was much more relaxed. Ye Ying was completely flying when he walked, and his feet were not touching the ground, so the pits and corpses on the ground were completely different for him. The Tsar just needed to sit on Ye Ying's back and didn't need to pay attention to his feet. So he still had time to observe the dead souls nearby. If it weren't for the wrong atmosphere, it would be like going out to play in the mountains and rivers.
"Do we still have to go deeper into the mission?" I looked at the large number of dead souls and zombies, and turned around and asked the Tsar.
The Tsar nodded and said, "According to the record, we have not actually reached the real starting point of the mission, and this is still the periphery of the mission area."
Actually, I asked the Tsar just wanted to make him concentrate. I have also seen the task scroll. Of course, I knew that this was just the peripheral area of the task, and in fact, it had not reached the real starting point of the task. If the task start point was correct, it should be another space. We came here just because the entrance to the space was in a hole at the extension of the mass grave.
"We're a little busy now!"
"If it weren't for the difficulty of the mission, I wouldn't have begged you!" said the Tsar guy.
I nodded helplessly and continued to move forward.
The main area of the mass grave in front is much lower than the entrance. Our location is turning right and downhill. After going down the slope, we will reach the entrance of the open land below. However, although the area is open and relatively flat, it is not easy. Because there are pits or graves everywhere in this place, and because the yin energy is gathered, there is no grass on the ground. Even the trees on the surrounding mountains are completely dead, and there is nothing to survive. I believe that except for the one or two hours of sunlight every day when someone dares to come and throw the corpse, there are most of them no living things here. Oh, by the way, some scavengers will come in to eat when the sun is at its best during the day, and they will evacuate immediately as soon as the sun tilts slightly. Those greedy people have died inside, and the rest have learned to understand that the sun needs to come out immediately as soon as it leaves the position of Zhongtian. Sometimes the animals are not stupid.
After we got down to the ground, we started walking inside. It was okay before that, but after we got down, the ghosts and some zombies around us moved their eyes to us. There was nothing to dare to walk in during their activity time, so they were also surprised to see us. Of course, no one dared to lean on us. Ling opened a small gate of hell above our heads. The aura of that thing didn't even dare to get close to the ghosts, which played a good intimidation role.
Of course, that thing scares ghosts, but it can't scare zombies. After all, these guys are brainless! So, we were soon surrounded by a large number of zombies.
"President Zi Ri, can you deal with this?" The Tsar's voice was filled with tremolo when he asked, obviously he didn't have much confidence in me. It was not that he doubted my strength, but that there were too many zombies in front of him.
