The banging sound spread to every corner of the village. Xiang En thought that his morning plan had not been carried out for long, and it failed so quickly.
After hearing the noise, Andrea poked her head out of the bedroom and looked at the window worriedly. She was relieved to see that Xiang En was fine.
Xiang En, who was still in shock, released bright magic light with his hands. He propped up his body with the help of the light, ignored the beating of the window, walked quickly to the oil lamp, picked up the flint and lit it.
When the crude oil lamp made of animal fat was burning, it would emit a strange smell. This strange smell made the two people feel a little nervous in the room.
Bang bang bang!
Johnny's son was still banging on the window.
When the fire started, Andrea had already returned to the window and looked out. Sure enough, the looming shadows in the distance had been attracted by the sound and were approaching here.
"Those things are coming! Are they monsters?"
"No..." Xiang En kept lighting the oil lamp in the house and replied, "I saw Johnny's son! He seemed to be alive."
what
Hearing a somewhat familiar yet unfamiliar name, Andrea thought about it carefully and then remembered that Johnny was the first villager they met when they came to the village, and he had his son by his side.
He was a very young man, he looked thin and frail, but wasn't he already dead
This was buried by himself and Xiang En himself!
In order to confirm whether the villagers were dead, they left them for a whole night before burying them. Could the dead be resurrected? !
On the entire continent, the only people who can resurrect the dead are those necromancers who play with the souls and bodies of the dead. Could it be that there is a necromancer hidden in the village, who resurrects all the corpses buried at the entrance of the village and uses them as his own soldiers
No... It can't be right
Andrea had a little uneasiness on her face. She had long heard that necromancers were cruel and ruthless. While attacking corpses, they would even summon the souls of the dead to torture them.
If it falls into their hands, even if the body dies, the soul will be forcibly pulled out of the pure land and squeeze out the remaining value. Meeting a necromancer is something more terrifying than death!
All the oil lamps had been lit by Xiang En, and the lit environment finally relieved his nervousness a little.
The sound of tapping on the window continued to increase the tense atmosphere. He called behind him, "Enri! Don't look any further, come here and help me!"
They must obtain information to confirm whether the resurrected dead outside are undead creatures, fake corpses, or something else is at work.
Although the wooden house is not strong, it should be no problem until the identity of the enemy is confirmed... right
After being called by Xiang En, Andrea got rid of the fear of the necromancer that she knew little about. She felt a little calmer and entered the living room grabbing the short knife.
The two came together and added an extra piece of wood to block the front door, gaining a slight sense of security. Then they came to the window that was being beaten constantly.
Driven by Xiang En, Andrea pushed open the window forcefully, and the overturned wooden board hit Johnny's son's head and top, knocking him to the ground, which was regarded as revenge for Xiang En.
Due to the limitations of the stove, Xiang En could only watch from this window. Xiang En lay on the stove and stretched out his head.
The magic light shone out, and little Johnny was found getting up.
The bright white light attracted Little Johnny's attention. Its body was still supporting the ground, but its head was raised first, and it looked into Xiang En's eyes.
Little Johnny's face was extremely pale and even showed traces of decay. The blond hair on his head was stained with a lot of soil and lost its original luster. His eyes that were directly illuminated by the light appeared turbid and not like a living person. His expression was dull and his mouth was slightly open.
"Well… "
A beast-like whimper came from Little Johnny's throat, like a hungry wolf encountering food. Little Johnny's dull expression instantly turned into a ferocious beast, and his body suddenly jumped up and flew toward the stunned Xiang En.
"!"
Xiang En was startled and raised his head suddenly to avoid Little Johnny's flying attack.
With strong curiosity, Andrea also moved over to take a look, but the stove restricted their positions. She could only look closely with Xiang En, but she didn't see anything yet. Xiang En leaned back, knocking her off balance.
Both of them wanted to stabilize their bodies, but with their arms flailing wildly, their bodies failed to stabilize. Instead, they restrained each other and rolled to the ground, looking extremely embarrassed.
Little Johnny's attempt failed, and most of his body had entered the wooden house. He was climbing through the window on his hands and knees, and his fierce eyes were still staring at the two of them.
Xiang En and Andrea didn't care about how embarrassed they were. After quickly getting up, they distanced themselves from little Johnny with a look of confusion on their faces.
Little Johnny, who was leaning on the stove, seemed to have difficulty controlling his body. He wanted to pounce on the two of them, but his foot accidentally caught the window frame and he fell to the ground in the same awkward manner.
"This..." Xiang En was stunned.
Pulling out the short knife with a choke, Andrea looked at little Johnny getting up from the ground and didn't know what to do for a moment.
Seeing that Little Johnny was about to get up and attack the two of them, Xiang En's eyelids jumped, and he felt that this scene had a strange sense of immediacy.
While thinking, he flew over and kicked the ferocious-looking little Johnny over, and observed it carefully before it got up.
Little Johnny does not meet the three major characteristics of undead creatures: dark skin, black mist belonging to the underworld, and slow movement ability.
The soul is a very fragile thing. Death for more than five minutes is enough for all the memories carried by a soul to disappear and become an empty shell without even a thought.
Such a body is resurrected through necromancy. It is just a walking corpse. It may not walk smoothly. It is impossible to be like little Johnny now, as crazy as a teddy on steroids!
"Hass!" Little Johnny gasped, stretched out his hands towards Xiang En, and continued to pounce.
Xiang En kicked out again, but it wouldn't be a big deal if it took such a long time. There were still a few approaching outside the door. After thinking about it, he said to Andrea beside him: "Enri, tie him up with a rope first." Get up."
"good!"
Andrea put away the dagger and quickly found the rope from the backpack in the bedroom. As soon as she walked out, the front door of the wooden house was hit.
Bang! Click!
The crisp sound of breaking shocked Xiang En and Andrea. They turned around and took a look. The two pieces of wood used as door bolts actually showed signs of breaking in the impact!
The person who smashed the door at the front door was much stronger than Little Johnny.
Seeing this, Xiang En quickly turned around and suppressed little Johnny, saying: "Don't mess around, tie him up first!"
Andrea withdrew her gaze and stepped forward to tie up little Johnny's hands and feet with Xiang En.
As soon as they tied the people up, the wooden door was knocked open from the outside, and five figures squeezed into the dark wooden house. After letting out a few frightening roars, they quickly rushed towards the two people who turned around.
The faces of the five corpses all showed ferocious expressions that were difficult for ordinary people to make. Their mouths were opened wide, like wild beasts that had lost their minds and wanted only to eat all non-kind creatures.
When he first saw five big men rushing towards him, Xiang En didn't dare to fight hard and pulled Andrea to dodge in the bedroom.
The appearance of five big men who didn't look like living people suddenly made the absurd conjecture in Xiang En's mind suddenly more credible. He had a feeling that the end... was right in front of him!
After the two hid in the room, they quickly closed the door.
Strange to say, the wooden house they live in now is not only large, but also has various doors and windows that are very thoughtful. Unlike other wooden houses, there is no door separating the bedroom and the living room.
Andrea pressed her back against the wooden door. In just a moment, there was an impact from the wooden door that almost pushed her away, followed by continuous pushing and hitting.
The continued pressure made Andrea cry out, "What should I do next! I can't hold on for long!"
"Give me some more time!"
Xiang En came to the window of the room, opened the window and leaned out his upper body.
He stretched out his hand to shine outside. When he saw that no one was outside, he immediately turned around and threw the two trap totems on the table out of the window.
Then he put the wooden shield that Andrea used when hunting in the corner into her hand, and then looked at her with a "affectionate" expression.
"I'll jump out of the window first, and you'll jump after me later, but! In this battle, be sure! You must not get hurt! Is that okay?"
Seeing Xiang En caring about her so much, Andrea's eyes were a little dazed for a moment. She was quite moved and nodded firmly, "Well, I listen to you!"
The situation is a bit bad... I'll think about it again
