Chapter 91 The Reckless Man Who Doesn't Eat Garlic
After bidding farewell to Fang Gu, Zhang Xiaohou and his companions left Yangyang Village and prepared to move on to the next dangerous village.
Next stop, Huacun.
The distance from Yangyang Village to Hua Village is about two days' journey, and this is when the mages are moving at full speed. This means that Zhang Xiaohou and others will have to spend at least one night in the undead zone.
After fighting against the undead, these elite military mages no longer have the arrogance they had at the beginning.
Not to mention an entire night, in just over an hour, one of their people died and one was seriously injured.
If it had been a few more hours, who knows how many people would have been left in the team.
Captain Qin Hu had no choice but to seek help from the village chief Fang Gu to see if he could use the secrets of the village to escape the pursuit of the undead.
But how could he know that the water from the Kunjing well that was used to shelter everyone in the village had long been gone. Even the villagers themselves were helpless, so how could he help them?
Besides, let alone the fact that there is no such thing now, even if there is, the villagers would not share it.
However, the village chief Fang Gu still gave everyone something called gray garlic.
Wherever the undead appear, there must be deathly air, and the breath they exhale is also deathly air.
It is naturally impossible for living people to do this, so although the undead have no eyes, they can rely on the difference in their breath to accurately hunt down their prey.
Gray garlic is extremely unpalatable. Eating it will make your breath stink.
To exaggerate a bit, the undead will feel that your bad breath is a bit like that of their companions.
After receiving the gray garlic, the group waited until dark with a half-believing and half-doubting attitude.
The sky here still gets dark so quickly!
It happened so fast that no one had time to react.
It was not until the undead emerged from the ground, carrying a foul odor and uttering unclear syllables, that everyone could intuitively feel that night had truly fallen.
The eight officers ate the gray garlic together, and then turned into statues, not daring to move, and even their breathing stopped temporarily.
A minute later, a female officer couldn't hold her breath any longer and exhaled, but the wandering undead around her didn't seem to smell her breath of a living person and were still aimlessly looking for today's food.
After seeing this scene, everyone completely relaxed.
The village chief did not lie to them, gray garlic is really useful!
However, just as they were secretly happy, the undead suddenly became restless.
“Uh-huh~~~”
Amidst the roars, the weakest but most numerous group of undead creatures, swarmed forward and rushed towards the back of the officers.
Hidden among the zombie army are several powerful skeleton soldiers.
"What's going on?" Wang Tong, who served as a scout with Zhang Xiaohou, exclaimed.
Their luck was not very good. They had entered a place with a strong aura of death yesterday, and today they accidentally stepped into a place with an even stronger aura of death.
Seeing more and more undead around them, everyone felt frightened.
If this comes towards them, I'm afraid there will be very few people left in the team.
"Mind control."
"Retreat!"
A clear human voice sounded.
It is such a heartwarming thing to hear such a clear voice in the land of the dead.
As the voice fell, a flash of silver light appeared in the center where the undead gathered, and then the fastest undead all flew backwards at the same time.
"Captain, there seems to be someone there!" said the female staff officer in the team.
Qin Hu also noticed the man, but as the captain, he had to consider the safety of the team at all times, so he did not order everyone to help the man who suddenly appeared, but just watched quietly. The man did not seem to need help from others, and he did not make a sound for help from beginning to end.
"Spatial rhythm. Compression!"
A silver light covered the area, and in just a moment, all the undead within a hundred meters disappeared, as if they had never appeared.
Under the powerful spatial fluctuations, the silver hair fluttered.
Only when the surroundings became quiet did the young man slowly turn around and walk towards the crowd.
That long silver hair became more conspicuous in this dark sky.
When Zhang Xiaohou saw this, his eyes widened.
Sure enough, it’s him!
"Who are you?" Captain Qin Hu looked at the person who came very vigilantly.
He did not forget that when he was in Yangyang Village, the night watchman once said that a silver-haired man appeared in his team.
Now seeing this person, Qin Hu would naturally be wary.
He had followed behind his team early in the morning, and he had no idea what the young man in front of him was planning.
friend?
Or enemy?
If it was the latter, Qin Hu knew that he and his companions would most likely die here.
"Sorry, wait a moment, I can't hold it anymore." The young man smiled slightly.
After saying that, he let out another long breath.
For a moment, a group of undead gathered around.
Even if they saw that the humans in front of them had just killed their companions with just one move, they would still rush forward regardless of their own safety.
This is the difference between the undead and demons. They don't feel pain or fear. They only know how to find prey, kill it, and then take their spoils back for a feast.
Therefore, their combat power is far stronger than other creatures of the same level.
The young man waved his hand and once again eliminated the noisy sounds around him.
"Uh"
Wang Tong watched the scene speechlessly, not knowing what to say.
Could it be that this young man in front of him, who looks younger than him, is planning to force his way into the land of the dead like this?
What a reckless man!
"Hua Yu?" Zhang Xiaohou called tentatively.
Although the two of them represented the Southern Military Region in the competition at the same time, they did not have much communication, and Zhang Xiaohou did not know whether Hua Yu could remember him as the one who made it to the second round.
"Hmm? Zhang Xiaohou."
Hua Yu seemed to have just noticed Zhang Xiaohou, with a hint of surprise on his face, as if asking why you were here too?
Zhang Xiaohou was delighted to see that Hua Yu still remembered him, and wanted to say something, but as a military magician, it was the most basic thing for him to keep the content of the mission he participated in strictly confidential. He smiled at Hua Yu helplessly.
However, he still introduced Huayu to his teammates.
Zhang Xiaohou was quite sensible. He only mentioned that Hua Yu participated in the military district competition, and did not reveal Hua Yu's final ranking.
After hearing that Hua Yu had participated in the military district competition, Captain Qin Hu and the female staff officer's hostility towards Hua Yu was greatly reduced.
After all, those who can participate in the military district competition must have no problems, at least in their background. Otherwise, those military district bosses would not be blind, so why would they let them participate in such an important competition?
"I wonder what Brother Hua is doing following us all the way?"
