Chapter 288
Strike horses and whip, horse like a dragon leaps forward.
Ni Kun and his party have endured the hardships of a long journey, galloping all night, at dawn, came to the release site of the quest to kill the ghost emperor, came to hand in the quest and receive the reward.
This is a dilapidated village.
Outside the village, the fields are barren and densely covered with tombs. Inside the village, there was silence, no cock crows and dogs barked.
At the time of the early morning meal, there was only a bunch of cooking smoke in this village with hundreds of families.
Ni Kun and his party rode slowly, walked into the empty and quiet village, and came to the small courtyard with the smokey fence.
Vaguely can be heard, there are babies crying, children screaming, coming from the courtyard.
"Mother, the little girl is crying again..."
"Mother, the eldest brother is hungry..."
"Mother, I am not hungry, I am a younger Brother is hungry..."
Amidst the yelling, a voice that was extremely slow, low and hoarse, like sandpaper rubbing, came: "The meal is almost ready, bear with me... Boss, give Younger sister, feed some rice soup..."
Listening to the voices coming from the yard, Ni Kun got off his horse, knocked on the yard door, which was full of holes and almost decayed, and said loudly: "Auntie , Let's finish the task and come to receive the reward!"
The sound in the yard stopped abruptly, only the cry of the baby was still ringing intermittently.
Lean less, slow and heavy footsteps sounded.
The courtyard door opened with a creak, revealing a terrifying face.
Skinny and corpse faces. Iron black's skin faintly shone with metallic luster. Beside the shrinking lips, two sharp canine teeth protruded, and the scarlet rays of light flashed in the pupils.
This is a zombie.
Wearing a patched, but well-washed, shabby clothes, few, sparse and yellow hairs, and also combed to be simultaneously, except for the gloomy and lifeless zombie, there is almost nothing on the body A female zombie with a smelly corpse.
She is the one who released Bounty Mission.
The reward order was posted on a big locust tree outside the village.
Yesterday morning, Ni Kun and his entourage passed by this village and saw the crooked handwriting and the reward order written in it.
Ni Kun didn't take this seriously.
Until he sensed the breath of a living person, and the stiff Corpse Qi breath mixed with the living person.
He thought it was zombie who was hunting and killing people. He planned to cut the corpse to save people, but he didn't expect that after breaking into the only small courtyard that was still alive, what he saw was a pair Quite unbelievably weird scenes.
This zombie, holding a little baby girl, sitting in the yard, humming a little song.
Although the voice is hoarse and unpleasant, it feels surprisingly gentle.
Two little boys, seven or eight years old, and a little girl, four or five years old, played in front of her.
Zombie's scarlet pupils, when looking towards the three children, there is not a trace of bloodthirsty hideousness, some are just the tender love of the mother.
This is actually a zombie mother.
Ni Kun and the others broke in suddenly and terrified the three children.
They hid behind the zombie mother without the slightest hesitation, ignoring the cold and gloomy Corpse Qi on her body, and seemed to believe that not only would she not hurt them, but their most reliable support.
This strange scene dispelled Ni Kun's killing intent.
After some inquiries, I also understood the cause of the matter.
This village was destroyed by ghostfield attacks four months ago.
There were hundreds of people in the village. Overnight, either the yang energy was exhausted by the ghost, or the blood was exhausted by the zombie.
Only the four children survived by hiding in the cellar under the shelter of a Divine Idol.
But the asylum of Divine Idol also has its limits.
Because the mountain god that Divine Idol belongs to has already been swallowed by the group of ghosts, only the last bit of power is left to give these four children the last shelter.
After the group of ghosts evacuated, the four children who were lucky enough to survive fell into a new crisis.
The villagers who were exhausted by the ghosts turned into the lowest level walking corpses. The corpse who was sucked out of blood by the zombie was also infected with the corpse poison and turned into a zombie.
They are irrational, they only know that they are chasing the Yang Qi of living people and the breath of flesh and blood. Although the four children were hiding in the cellar, when Divine Idol's power was finally exhausted, their breath was still noticed by the corpses.
Fortunately they have a mother.
The night the group of ghosts struck, their mother did not hide in the cellar with them.
She seems to know that the power of Divine Idol is not enough to shelter too many people. So I left the chance of birth to the children, and I stayed out with my husband.
Her husband was torn to pieces by zombie and swallowed alive. She herself was sucked up by a zombie.
Two days later, she got up again, but she ceased to be a human and turned into a zombie.
But perhaps because she never forgot her children until she died, or perhaps the power of maternal love overwhelmed zombie’s bloodthirsty instinct, she did not completely lose her sanity and became the leader of the village. In, only one has a zombie with self-awareness.
She stayed outside the cellar and tore all the living corpses and zombies that coveted her sons and daughters Yang Qi, flesh and blood, to shreds-a conscious and rational zombie is naturally far better than no self-awareness , I only know to follow the instinctive walking corpse.
Even though she only killed chickens and rabbits in her lifetime, she still killed all the walking corpse by strength of oneself.
Outside the village, in the densely packed tomb, the dead bodies of walking corpses are buried.
After that, she continued to live with her children, unswervingly nurturing and protecting them.
When she just turned into zombie, she was not what she is now, but her skin was dead white, ashen-faced, and her body was cold. Although the children were a little afraid of her, they accepted her unreservedly after confirming that she was still their own mother.
Four months later, she gradually became this terrible zombie appearance.
But the four-month "gradual change" also allowed the children who had been with her day and night to accept her changes in an unnoticeable influence, and did not fear her and leave her.
She is still their mother.
When working on the ground during the day, I will carry the youngest baby on my back and take them to the ground together. When they go to bed at night, they will use that increasingly hoarse and unpleasant voice to sing songs to coax them to sleep. When a ghost crosses the border, she will stay quietly outside the village, exuding an increasingly powerful Corpse Qi, proclaiming that there is a master in this place, and expelling wandering ghosts.
Zombie mother, just like this, day after day protects the children, and has never lost control once.
She was literate during her lifetime, and she had been to the county town. She had some experience, and she had seen the reward notice posted outside the city in the county.
So one day, she also wrote a reward notice and posted it under the big locust tree outside the village.
Her obsession is not actually hatred of ghost towns.
The husband died, and she turned into a zombie, but her children are still there, and all her obsessions can only raise the children.
Hatred is not important, what matters is children.
But the existence of the ghost town seriously threatens the survival of her children.
Although as a sensible zombie, she self-taught knows how to swallow Qi of Supreme Yin and Yin-Fiend Qi to strengthen herself, and her growth rate is far faster than the wild zombie, which is enough to deter ordinary wandering souls. Wild ghost, but she knows that once a powerful ghost crosses the border, she will not be able to protect her children.
So she learned the reward notice that she had seen in the county town before she died, and wrote a reward notice and posted it under the big locust tree at the entrance of the village, hoping that someone could destroy the ghost town.
Zombie mother is literate and has some knowledge, but she is just an ordinary peasant woman in the countryside.
She doesn't know how powerful the ghost city is, and she doesn't know at all. To destroy such a ghost city, what kind of existence is needed.
Those who come and go high and ungrounded, it is impossible to see the bounty sign she posted, even if they pass over the village, they will not look down at all.
Even if by any chance, a big shot occasionally saw the reward notice, it would only snort disdainfully for the meager reward on the notice——98 two-pattern silver, fifteen hundred and six Sixteen copper coins.
This is all the money that zombie mother found in the village.
She naively thought that this huge sum of money she had never had in her lifetime was enough to attract a powerful hero, accept a reward, and go to clear the ghost city.
So when she saw Ni Kun and his party with bright armor and strong aura that she did not dare to look directly at, she broke into her yard, she also happily asked:
"Did you see a reward to clean up the ghost city? If you can kill the big ghost, the reward will be a lot, and it will be paid to you. If it is not enough, I can give you another fifty catties of millet."
Ni Kun's answer is: "You have given enough money. Waiting for our good news."
Leaving the village without looking back and talking with Lu Xiyan The avatars rode horses and whips, rushing ten thousand li a day, slaying the ghost city, smashing the hungry ghosts in the city, and beheading the ghost emperor. Immediately after flying a horse overnight, he returned to the village to pay the task and collect the reward.
If the ghost of the ghost under the fountain knows that it is dignified Heavenly Immortal ghost king, it is only worth 98 taels of silver and 1,566 copper coins. It might be so angry that it will come alive, and Die back.
At this moment.
Standing in front of the fence yard, looks at the zombie mother who is full of expectation among the scarlet pupils, Ni Kun is slightly nodded, and his face bursts with a warm smile like a spring breeze: " The ghost city has been removed, and I am fortunate not to humiliate my life."
Speaking, he took out a face and skin that were no different from a human being, with only a pair of pupils like the skull of crimson crystal, and handed it to the zombie mother.
It is the first level of the ghost emperor.
Netherworld Ghost Emperor was originally a zombie, but now that there is the Heavenly Immortal Realm world, there is not much difference between it and the real immortal. The only flaw lies in the inability to develop paradise, and the thirst for blood and yang.
Zombie mother is low in rank and has never seen the ghost emperor, but the instinct of the same genus made her confirm the origin of this first level through the residual aura on the first level.
"Ah, this is really the big ghost of the ghost town..."
She took the first level, looked and looked again, and the terrifying zombie's face appeared in relief. "It’s so good, the ghost town is gone, the big ghost is dead, my children, I can sleep well at night..."
She wiped the corners of her eyes, like she was wiping Tears, but zombie has no tears.
She returned the ghost king first level to Ni Kun and smiled openly: "Hero wait a minute, I will go and get the bounty." Taking a heavy staggering step, she turned back and returned. In the courtyard.
looks at zombie mother's rickety figure, looks at it on the edge of the door, stick one's head around to look for looks at their three children, Ni Kun, slightly sighed, squinting, looking up First looked towards the sky.
"Heavenly Court...Hey! The so-called Heavenly Court is not as good as a cold zombie!"
