Chapter 95 Why did you abandon me? Why!
"That's a pretty good idea," the short man nodded hurriedly.
Everyone else is in the same boat, and this is the only way things can be now.
After leaving Yangyang Village for about three or four miles, everyone could clearly feel that the gazes of the spirits around them had become less friendly.
The spirits in this area wander freely, in twos and threes, mostly the rotting corpses of servants. Apart from their chilling appearance, they are nothing special.
"They're here," the short man warned the group.
Just then, a rotting corpse that was sharpening its teeth on a rock seemed to sense life. It turned its head with a creaking sound, and its green pupils locked onto the black-stockinged woman closest to it.
The woman in black stockings showed no emotion in her eyes, and she didn't even show the usual panic and disgust she would have towards this repulsive thing.
But her bearded attendant had already taken an extra step to the side, and beneath his feet, icy star patterns were solidifying like frost-covered leaves…
"Ice Lock!"
The bearded man casually waved his hand, and a thick ice lock flew straight towards the rotting corpse, instantly shattering it into pieces.
"Ali, don't waste your magic power." The woman in black silk couldn't help but remind her when she saw that her follower needed mid-level magic to deal with a single corpse.
The bearded man, Ali, hurriedly performed a strange bow, appearing as if he were listening to the black-stockinged woman's instruction.
"We've been traveling together for so long, and I still don't know your name?" the short man asked with a grin. With his discerning eye, he could tell at a glance that this woman was no ordinary person.
"Ye Meng'e, Ye as in leaf, Meng as in dream, E as in graceful, you can call me Meng'e." The woman in black stockings spoke very seriously when stating her name, as if she was afraid of making a mistake at some point.
Upon hearing the name, Mo Fan chuckled and asked, "Did you come up with this name for Kyushu on the spot?"
The woman in black stockings didn't answer directly, but simply asked, "Is there anything strange about this name?"
"The graceful 'E'... Meng'e, people from Kyushu rarely give their names like that. Actually, Cuihua would be better. You can also add this name to your surname, for example, Elizabeth-Cuihua, to show off your knowledge of both Chinese and foreign cultures," Mo Fan said seriously.
Lu Jie and the others sighed in exasperation, thinking, "How can you be so treacherous?"
And you call me Cuihua? I'm also calling myself Xiong Da and Xiong Er.
The woman in black stockings nodded seriously, agreeing that Mo Fan's words made some sense.
"Sister, don't listen to his nonsense. Your name is actually very nice." Liu Ru directly betrayed Mo Fan.
The woman in black stockings simply smiled and said nothing.
"Um...can we call you that too?" his attendant Ali asked cautiously.
Ye Meng'e merely glanced at him, which made Ali shrink back and dare not say another word.
……
They were quite lucky; they didn't stumble upon any graves until the early hours of the morning.
Unfortunately, the weather turned against them, and a white bolt of lightning flashed across the sky.
The sky had become heavy and oppressive at some point. As thunder rumbled incessantly above the clouds, raindrops the size of beans began to fall from the sky, causing the short man's face to darken.
"Damn it, it's raining!" the short man cursed.
As soon as he finished speaking, a torrential downpour began, white lightning flashed across the sky, and dense raindrops formed a curtain of rain on the horizon.
The rain seemed to understand their predicament, washing away the loose soil and making each step a muddy mess.
Then, in the flash of lightning, a blood-red hue, washed over by the rain, appeared before them.
Blood flowed past their feet, a truly horrifying sight. The dense rain made it impossible to see anything ahead, and for a moment, no one knew whether or not to eat the grey garlic.
"Hurry up! The rain will wash away the smell of garlic you just exhaled!" the burly man reminded him.
"Isn't there a single water mage in the team?" Mo Fan asked, but no one answered him. If there were a water-based magic system, everyone wouldn't be getting soaked like this.
This made him want to curse a million times in his mind.
When he looked at Lu Jie, he noticed that he and Liu Ru each had a wooden umbrella in their hands.
"Damn it, Lao Lu, why didn't you give me an umbrella?" Mo Fan cursed as he tried to snatch the umbrella from Lu Jie's hand.
"Call me daddy, and I'll get it for you." Lu Jie held Mo Fan back with one hand, preventing him from taking it.
"Get the hell out of here, hurry up and get me an umbrella," Mo Fan said.
"Speak more politely."
"Oh dear, my brother Lu, give it to me..."
"Get out, get out, that's so cheesy!"
No one can compare to Mo Fan's shamelessness. Lu Jie made a wooden umbrella on the spot and threw it to Mo Fan.
After receiving the umbrella, Mo Fan immediately used fire magic to evaporate the moisture from his body.
Seeing that the others were all staring at him expectantly, Lu Jie casually produced five more wooden umbrellas.
"Thank you, brother," the short man said gratefully.
Ye Meng'e looked at Lu Jie with a hint of surprise, not expecting that this person's plant magic had reached such a level.
"Damn it! There's more and more blood in this water, is there some kind of giant corpse?" the short man suddenly cursed.
"We need to get out of here quickly!"
The group trudged through the mud and water, quickening their pace considerably.
"Ugh—!"
"Ugh—!"
Suddenly, two heart-pounding roars came from the side.
Lu Jie frowned, stomped his right foot on the ground, and plant-type magic energy transformed into a source of life, stimulating the plants to grow rapidly.
Several trees rose up from the ground nearby, with many tree-like vines extending from them, which entangled a huge, ox-like corpse in the rain.
This thing had several arms, each wielding a rusty axe. Rainwater washed away the dried blood from these weapons, making it look even more terrifying. One wonders how many lives these weapons had slain!
It was as strong as an ox, with grotesque limbs. Even more terrifying was that such a massive body had a woman's tiny head, with long, dirty hair hanging down, and a face that looked gloomy and vicious, washed by the rain!
"Why...why did you abandon me? Why!!!" the woman cried out in an extremely shrill voice.
The rusty axe and knife continued to chop at the tree-like vines that were wrapped around him.
After cutting off a few branches, more immediately wrapped around it, quickly turning it into a large rice dumpling.
"Holy crap, the Great Corpse General is trapped by the plant system?" the dwarf exclaimed.
"What are you looking at? Hurry up and let's go!" Lu Jie urged.
No one thought much of it and could only keep running forward.
Lu Jie reached back and threw out a blue fireball.
The Azure Lotus Fire burst into flames the moment it touched the trees, its blazing blue flames standing out starkly against the dark, rainy backdrop.
The intense heat quickly baked the surrounding muddy ground until it cracked, and water vapor lingered in the air for a long time.
After a few mournful roars, the giant corpse was reduced to ashes!
