Chapter 35: Cemetery
Northwest of the village of Kalipura is a rather vast cemetery. This village is obviously not big, but the cemetery is huge, almost half the size of the village.
This situation is strange and irrational. When we were playing the game, the strategy team had verified this and confirmed that a long time ago, there had been a war here, and the armies of the two countries had formed a battle on the dividing line between the forest and the grassland. Although the winner could not be determined in the end, many corpses were left behind.
The corpses of those big men can of course be transported back to their hometowns, but not the soldiers. So after the two sides signed a peace treaty, the soldiers were buried there. The predecessor of Kalipura Village was an altar of the Church of Death built to take care of this necropolis.
The priests of the **** of death have always been committed to maintaining the balance between life and death. They like to move around such large cemeteries, so that they can find the undead resurrected with resentment at the first time and send them back to the kingdom of the dead.
In the decades following the war, the priests of the Reaper had been doing their best work. But then an accident happened. The old priest who was in charge of supervising and managing this cemetery suddenly died of a sudden illness. Before the successor priest arrived, the young priest was attracted by the strange skull ring that suddenly appeared and abandoned it.” Maintain the balance of life and death" belief, began to study necromancy.
That little priest was Hammer.
Hammer's luck was not good. He had not had time to research anything before he mastered the method of turning dead bodies into skeletons, and the substitute priest of the Church of Death arrived.
An experienced priest and two escorting warriors, the trio killed Hammer without much effort and sealed him in this cemetery.
Since then, the Church of the Reaper still guarded the cemetery, but as the years passed, some things happened that the Raiders could not verify. In the end, the Church of the Reaper left here and handed over the area to a man named Karip. Pull the adventurer, established the pioneering village.
That Kalipura is the ancestor of the Kalipura village chief. According to him, it can be called "Karipura I".
Kalipura is not alone. He has several partners. Among these partners is a priest of the Earth Goddess. After settling down, he established the Earth Goddess Temple in the village. As for the other partners, there is no record left, it is estimated that the descendants have been cut off, or have left here.
As the years passed, the power of the seal gradually weakened. The evil magic gear, the Skull Ring, comes alive again, resurrecting the long-slayed Hammer and turning the former death priest into a true necromancer, a skeletonized necromancer. The reborn Hammer is full of hatred for the world and hatred for the living, but he still remembers how he was easily killed back then, so he has been hiding in the ground to accumulate strength, waiting for the day when he will make great achievements and make a big news.
If according to the development of the game plot, Hammer's big news finally succeeded. He turned the village of Kalipura into a ghost realm, with walking skeletons everywhere, and most of the villagers died. Although the adventurers destroyed Hamer and put the dead to rest, the dead could not be resurrected.
Not only that, because of the influence of this incident, the nearby forces have focused their attention here, which has caused the subsequent big plot - the imperial invasion.
But this time, because of the influence of the traversers, Hammer's "big news" may not be possible.
If nothing else, everyone can at least be sure that this time he will never let him kill most of the villagers in Kalipura Village and turn them into elite skeletons with names!
From the village to the cemetery, the distance is not very far, and the pandas and the others can walk there very quickly. But from a distance, the cemetery under the setting sun was shrouded in a strange black mist, and apart from the sound of fighting and the roar of Lao Liu, there was no way to get any clues.
The panda did not hesitate to wait and see, and rushed directly into the black mist.
As soon as he stepped into the black fog, he couldn't help frowning, feeling a cold force trying to erode him.
Of course, this power is the magic power of the necromancer. At the beginning of Xiaosai, it was only slightly contaminated, and he almost died on the sick bed. If an ordinary person like him stepped into this black fog, I am afraid that it would only take an hour. It was directly transformed into a undead, and there was no chance of rescue.
But this power does not work well for the traversers. Although their level is not high, their attributes are very powerful, and almost everyone has a certain degree of magic resistance. The undead magic power of the black fog alone is not enough to hurt them.
In particular, Panda is still a cleric. Although he has not yet been able to restore the connection with the divine power of the God of Suffering, and cannot use divine magic, the powerful divine power in his body spontaneously engulfed him while the undead magic was trying to erode him. Agitated, launched a counterattack.
When the companions rushed into the black fog one by one, what they saw was the golden light on the panda, like a small sun, shining.
"God's grace? What are you using this skill for now?" Yuneruo asked curiously, "I'm thinking... Why don't you use it until the boss fight."
"It's not divine grace, it's activated naturally, and it doesn't have any special effects." Panda replied, walking forward quickly.
In front of them, the old and new tombs were cracked open one by one, and a pale skeleton crawled out of the earth tremblingly, with red firelight beating in its eyes, turning their heads one by one to look at them.
The dim cemetery, the thick black fog, the resurrected skeletons... This scene is quite terrifying. If it is replaced by the timid, I am afraid that I will be so scared that I will pee my pants on the spot.
But the panda was not afraid. He didn't even move at all. He rushed straight to the skeleton closest to him. While that thing was still standing blankly, when it seemed that it had not fully recovered, he raised his fist and sighed. The fist swept across and hit it on the neck.
The body of the skeleton with only the skeleton was not strong, and the neck was directly broken by the panda's punch, the skull rolled out, and the body collapsed, turning into a pile of dry bones.
"As weak as in the game!"
Panda left such a somewhat arrogant sentence, just like in the countless battles he had in the past, without looking back, he rushed towards the large group of skeletons that were slowly recovering their ability to move.
It's just that in the past, he did this mostly to PK with other players. Now, what he has to deal with is no longer the players behind the computer screen and opposite the network cable, but the players who have turned from fantasy into reality, and now he is alive and well. In front of him, the evil monster that attacked him.
