Apocalypse Awakening

Chapter 102 Ghost Mountain Corpse Grove

Ghost mountain corpse forest, many master drivers who run outside the city are reluctant to go to that kind of place, because it is the scariest place within hundreds of miles of the eastern capital.

The city of Dongdu was built earlier, when the ghost mountain corpse forest had not yet really formed.Today, that mountain range is considered the biggest threat to the city, and the number of people who die because of it every year is also very large.

In the middle of the night and early morning, there are still about two hours before dawn.

The master driver of the armored vehicle was unwilling to drive the vehicle to the foot of the mountain, even if he paid several times the price.

So Ning Qiu and Xia Jiesen could only walk on foot, looking for the sap tree according to the location marked on the map.

Xia Jiesen had already held his sledgehammer in his hand, but judging from the head of the hammer, it was indeed a bit broken.

"How could it be like this?" Ning Qiu glanced at the big hammer, and couldn't help being stunned, what kind of thing did he fight to damage the Horcrux like this.

Xia Jiesen didn't answer, but focused his attention on guard, looking around non-stop.

Ning Qiu also holds the soulstring in his hand, as long as there is a corpse beast that dares to attack, he will strike immediately.

"Stop!" After walking for a long time, Xia Jiesen suddenly raised his hand, signaling Ning Qiu to hide.

"It's an ordinary corpse dog."

Corpse dogs are just ordinary corpse beasts, only slightly more dangerous than ordinary zombies.

"I'm going to kill it!"

"Don't!" Xia Jiesen immediately stopped, but Ning Qiu moved too fast and rushed over.

An ordinary corpse dog, Ning Qiu didn't even bother to summon the Horcrux, walked like flying, stretched out his hand to hold the corpse dog's head, smashed it hard on the ground, then twisted it, and it was done easily.

"Idiot, run!" Xia Jiesen suddenly shouted.

When Ning Qiu heard this, she immediately became alert.

Then, he suddenly heard a low roar coming from all around, and saw many eyes with cold light staring at him in the darkness.

There were a dozen corpse dogs in total, all of which ran towards him.

"Hanging silk puppet!" Five soul strings appeared in Ning Qiu's left hand, each of which controlled a corpse dog, and manipulated them to tear and bite other corpse dogs.

For the rest, Ning Qiu killed them with bare hands.

"Don't kill it, come back quickly, the blood will soon attract other corpse beasts." Xia Jiesen had a gloomy face. What is this guy doing?
Sure enough, after Ning Qiu killed all the corpse dogs, pairs of red eyes immediately appeared around them, each with their own differences.

"Damn, so many!" Ning Qiu didn't dare to stop any longer, and ran away.

"Oh!" Xia Jiesen really didn't know what to say about him, if he had known about it, he would have simply parted ways with him, perhaps it would be much safer to act alone.

At this time, before entering the corpse forest area, surrounded by bare barren hills, he was already being chased by a large group of corpse beasts. Xia Jiesen couldn't imagine how he would go next.

Fortunately, both of them were quite fast, but Xia Jiesen had already used his speed boots, and he gave Ning Qiu a glare, not even in the mood to curse.

"Don't look at me like that, I actually drove them over on purpose, so we can take a detour." Ning Qiu looked at the map and said.

Of course he knew that blood would attract corpse beasts, so he killed those corpse dogs on purpose, but what he didn't expect was that there were so many corpse beasts inhabiting all around.

It seems that it is better to do less of this kind of thing, if it is surrounded by corpse beasts, the consequences will be disastrous.

However, after Ning Qiu made such a fuss, all the corpse beasts in this area were attracted, and the surrounding mountain roads would be relatively safer.

……

The further you go into the depths of the corpse forest, the quieter the surrounding area becomes.

After walking for a long time, I finally saw a small tree, which was probably a corpse forest in front of this sign.

"Fuck, is this a tree?" Ning Qiu took a closer look, and it was completely different from the trees he had seen in textbooks.

There is no book cover at all on the trunk of the tree. It is more like someone deliberately brushed a layer of meat paste on it, and the meat paste will touch it from time to time.

"It's really disgusting." Ning Qiu covered his nose and found that the tree was still exuding a rancid smell.

"I suggest you not to get too close to these trees, be careful of the poisonous ones," Xia Jiesen said.

"I really regret not bringing a gas mask," Ning Qiu said.

Going further in, the rancid smell became more and more serious, and the smell made the two of them feel like vomiting.

"Ouch!" Ning Qiu couldn't help retching.

"Hush! There's movement." Xia Jiesen suddenly whispered.

Because of the low light, it was difficult for them to see what was in front of them.

But judging from its outline, it seems to be a huge mouse.

It walked to the side of the meat flower and sniffed the disgusting liquid that the meat flower had spilled all over the ground.

"Ouch!" Ning Qiu finally couldn't take it anymore, and vomited out the dinner he ate at night.

The huge rat figure seemed to have heard the movement, and the lying body suddenly stood up, with a pair of eyes constantly looking around.

Ning Qiu suppressed vomiting and hid behind a bluestone.

About a minute later, the mouse shadow found nothing unusual, so he got down again.

Suddenly, from the fleshy hole of the flower bud, fleshy whiskers spewed out one by one, about the thickness of a little finger, and instantly entangled the mouse shadow.

"Hiss!" Seeing this, Ning Qiu gasped.

There were at least hundreds of fleshy whiskers protruding from the flower buds, wrapping the mouse shadow like a mummy, airtight.

After about ten minutes, all the whiskers were retracted into the flower buds, and only a corroded bone was left in the mouse shadow.

"Nimma! Are the plants here becoming spirits?"

"The most terrifying thing in the corpse forest is not the dead beasts, but these mutated plants, so we have to be careful every step we take." Xia Jiesen was also frightened. He had always heard that the corpse forest area was very scary. But I didn't expect it to be so scary.

This is still the outskirts of the cemetery, and I really don't know what more terrifying things will be encountered if we go further inside.

In order to cover up the smell on the body, the body powder was applied over and over again, and I don't know if it is effective.

Ning Qiu looked at the time, it was almost five o'clock in the morning, and it won't be long before the sky will start to light up.

The two had been hiding behind a bluestone at this time, and did not enter the corpse forest in a hurry, because Dr. Su's assistant told them that the best time to collect tree sap was at dawn.

Judging from the map, there is a sap forest not far ahead. Xia Jiesen and Ning Qiu have already discussed that once they enter the forest, one person will be responsible for collecting the sap and the other will be responsible for protecting it.

Xia Jiesen's Horcrux was damaged, and now his strength is not as good as before, so Ning Qiu can only be responsible for protecting it.

Dawn is gradually breaking in the eastern sky, and a few stars can still be seen faintly in the light blue sky.

The earth was hazy, as if shrouded in an invisible black veil.

Xia Jiesen looked at the time, then turned to Ning Qiu and said, "Get ready to act."
