Chapter 244 The Undead

Because of its nature, death represents rest and tranquility, so the more powerful the existence of death power, the easier it is to fall into a long-term sleep, and it will only wake up once in a long time.

In fact, the dead who live in the center of the dead world are collectively called the Lord of Death.

But even if there are many masters of death, one may not wake up in thousands of years, so the dead world has been in a state of no one for a long time.

However, having said that, the dead don't seem to need to be managed, except for the undead who can't rest in peace and will wander around.

The souls of most of the dead here are in a dormant state, unable to move or run around.

In the swamp area in front of him, there were many undead who could not rest in peace wandering around.

However, the undead in this area are not the human-shaped bodies in the ghost wood forest, but snake-like appearances, constantly cruising in the dark waters of the swamp.

The appearance of the undead is not fixed, and will change with the changes in the area of ​​the dead, but the deeper the undead is, the stronger it is for sure.

"Be careful, the swamp here is bottomless, and it's best not to touch the black water."

Chu Yuan warned me carefully.

Although the black water in the swamp looks like water, it is actually a change of dead air, which is highly poisonous to the living.

Since no living person can walk in the dead world, there is no such thing as a road.

As for why Chu Yuan didn't fly over, it was still the same old saying.

He may not want to alarm certain existences in the dead world.

However, things in the world are often not as expected. My bad luck has not improved until now, and I still come to whatever I am afraid of.

Above the ghost wood forest behind, a human-faced bird with wings suddenly appeared.

The human-faced bird's wings were about fifty meters long. Although most of its body was rotten and broken, its figure still looked mighty.

Its face was that of a very serious and upright middle-aged man, and this combination was really indescribably weird.

"It's the undead. The living beings have not died here, because they have fallen into it and have too much obsession. It's a weird thing." Chu Yuan frowned, and said to me, "Close your eyes."

I just closed my eyes instinctively, and before I could say "ah", Chu Yuan picked me up horizontally in the way of a princess, kicked my feet hard, and my figure rushed like a sharp arrow go out.

It almost does not touch the ground with its feet, just lightly touch the water surface or the top of the grass, and the figure can fly far away.

However, the area of ​​this swamp is too large, almost spanning the distance from one end of the ground level to the other end, and there is no shelter on the wide swamp, so his whereabouts were discovered by the human-faced bird.

"Why didn't you save me...why didn't you save me..." The new man-faced bird growled sadly, and kept repeating it over and over again.

"I'm not reconciled... I'm not reconciled..." It muttered to itself.

This scene made me feel hairy, and I suddenly felt a deep fear of this place. Once I die here, I will become the same thing as them.

Suddenly, the human-faced bird's expression changed, and it rushed forward with a ferocious face.

"The living have been curious about death for thousands of years. Some want to cover up their desires and try their best to enter the world of the dead, but they don't know that in this world, the greatest treasure is death itself, and those who find "it" There will never be a return to this world.”

Chu Yuan murmured, ignored that thing, and said softly to me: "The world says that desire is the driving force of cultural progress, but when desire is far greater than rationality, this evolution itself has been distorted."

The human-faced bird flapped its wings and came lightning-fast, and the distance was approaching. I could even see its ferocious face, its expression full of resentment and resentment towards all living beings.

"Watch out, it's here!"

I widened my eyes. I never thought that in this other world, there was such a human-like and non-human existence. The fear in my heart burst out like a tide.

To see it swooping over, I was hugged in my arms and immediately shouted to Chu Yuan.

Chu Yuan's expression instantly became indifferent, he held me in his arms with one hand, and raised the other free hand, as if a black sword condensed from nothingness.

"Zheng!"

The sharp sword was unsheathed, and the black light suddenly appeared.

A jet of black light, as if breaking the sky and breaking the earth, directly split the weird human-faced bird in half with Chu Yuan's wave of his hand.

Even though it was an immortal existence, after being cut by the black sword, the human-faced bird's body burned with black flames.

The black hellfire seemed to be able to burn the entire space. Amidst the miserable screams, the human-faced bird was burned into nothingness.

After beheading the human-faced bird, the condensed black long sword in Chu Yuan's hand turned black and dissipated into nothingness.

He hugged me with both hands and flew past, making my cheeks turn red uncontrollably, I whispered to him: "There seems to be something in the water below..."

There are many strange things swimming in the swamp.

Chu Yuan glanced down, and said calmly, "Don't worry about it!"

I stopped, and Chu Yuan quickened his pace, just as he was about to cross the swamp.

At this time, the earth suddenly shook, and a large swamp began to collapse, as if there was a huge hole below, and then a huge monster with black scales suddenly rushed out.

"Sure enough, I'm afraid of something." Chu Yuan said lightly.

When the huge hole was exposed, a strong suction force was emitted from it. Chu Yuan's eyes were all rushing out of the huge monster, so I was almost sucked into the abyss in an instant.

The giant snake with black scales swung its body and rushed up, opened its mouth wide, and I could clearly see two huge long fangs.

"It's here!"

Although Chu Yuan was always paying attention, I couldn't help reminding him.

When rushing up, Chu Yuan freed up one hand and pressed in the air, and an invisible barrier was transformed.

The giant snake roared and bumped into it, making a loud noise, and its body was thrown into the swamp again.

"In the world of the dead, don't cause unnecessary damage to any animal. Beating it to death will only bring it back to life. Just attack until it loses its ability to move."

Hearing Chu Yuan's words, I nodded clearly.

According to what Chu Yuan said, the key to dealing with these undead in the realm of the dead is not to kill them, but to maim them.

The limbs of these undead will also be damaged in battle, but once the damage has accumulated to a certain value, the individual will fully recover. This is the law given to the undead by the dead.

After all, the energy for the resurrection of these undead is provided by the ubiquitous death energy in the entire dead world, and sometimes it is not just a small group of undead that fight against, but the whole world.

This is also the reason why Chu Yuan felt afraid of this place.
