"My Lord, are you there?"
In a building, Erri's voice sounded outside the door.
The fearful expression on his face had now calmed down, and he kept knocking on the closed door in front of him.
After knocking for a while, there was still no response from inside, which made Erri stunned.
"Isn't it inside?" This thought flashed through his mind.
Although they had not been together for a long time, Athir had always shown good etiquette in their previous interactions. If he was in the house at this time, there was no reason for him to ignore him.
He looked up, saw the sky gradually getting darker inside the house, and forced himself to suppress his anxiety while standing at the door waiting. He did not leave until it was almost completely dark, and planned to come back to check again later.
Hurried footsteps sounded at the spot. After Erri left, Athir slowly walked out of a wooden house in the distance. Looking at the other person's departing back, the expression on his face was calm and indifferent.
Night gradually approached, the sky slowly darkened, and the world around us suddenly became quiet.
At this time, all the residents around had fallen asleep. Only a few families were not sleepy at all, but were filled with anxiety and fear.
Inside a wooden house, several people were walking anxiously in the hall, looking at the night outside with uncontrollable fear in their eyes.
At this time, the door outside was opened, and Erri's tall figure walked in from outside with a somewhat gloomy face.
"How is it? Did you find the knight?"
As soon as he entered the room, several people asked at the same time, with anxiety written all over their faces.
Looking at the anxious faces around him, Erri had a gloomy face and shook his head heavily: "I went to the flat land in front of the village, but I didn't find him."
"Damn it!" A middle-aged man on the other side gritted his teeth and said, "He must have abandoned us and ran away with Raman and the others!"
"This guy has wasted our care for so many days. He is indeed a damn foreigner! A good-for-nothing coward!"
The expression on his face was distorted, and he seemed to be out of control. He stood there cursing, trying to vent the fear and anger in his heart.
As they finished speaking, the scene became silent for a moment, and a sense of depression arose.
Looking at this scene, Erri sighed: "Don't be like this, things may not be as bad as you think."
"That knight is a good man. Even if he was leaving, he should have remembered to remind us and not forgotten us like this."
Having said this, he stood up and said to the people around him, "You guys continue to pack up here. I'll go outside and take a look. Maybe the other party has already returned to his residence."
After saying this, he opened the wooden door and walked out directly, his figure gradually disappearing into the darkness.
After walking a short distance, relying on his familiarity with the surroundings, he quickly walked to the house where Athir lived again, stretched out his right hand and kept knocking on the door.
The crisp knocking sound kept ringing around, seeming so abrupt in the surrounding silence.
I knocked on the door quietly for a while, but still got no response from inside the house.
He couldn't help but sigh, his heart filled with disappointment in an instant, and he wanted to turn around and go back to his residence.
A chill suddenly came over him from behind, startling him and making him feel something was wrong.
"It's too quiet!" The thought flashed through his mind.
It is now late at night. Although the surroundings are quiet, there are still some slight chirping sounds of insects from time to time.
But now, all these sounds disappeared, and there was no other sound around him except his own breathing and heartbeat.
"No, that's not right!" He was startled and heard faintly several slight gasps coming from behind him.
A sense of horror suddenly surged into his heart. He turned around and looked behind him, almost fainting from what he saw.
In the deep night, several pale corpses stood quietly behind him, their eyes flashing with bloodthirstiness and madness.
Aaaaaahhh!!!
A scream suddenly erupted from the spot and then quickly disappeared, so short that it almost seemed like an illusion.
"I'm late..." In a distant corner, listening to the screams in the distance, Athir sighed and walked over silently.
With his sharp eyesight, he could clearly see the scene there even from a distance of more than ten meters.
In front of the house where he used to live, Erri's body lay quietly on the ground, his face stiff and distorted, looking horrible.
Around his corpse, several pale humanoid monsters with blood on their faces were swallowing the flesh of the corpse beneath them in big mouthfuls, almost pulling out the intestines in their stomachs.
As if they sensed Athir's breath, the humanoid monsters suddenly stopped moving, then slowly stood up and turned their heads back.
These were several naked corpses, whose clothes had long been burnt into charcoal, revealing their pale skin. At this moment, looking at Athir who was gradually approaching from a distance, their eyes were filled with extreme bloodthirsty desire.
"Four in total."
Looking at the familiar pale faces opposite him, Athir frowned, pulled out the sword at his waist with his right hand, and swung it violently.
At this moment, a white figure suddenly appeared in front of him, and hit Athir's sword, and was directly knocked away by Athir.
A low roar came from his ears, but Athir remained calm and kicked hard to the left.
A strong bang came from the feet, and a white figure fell to the ground.
"Agility is close to 4, about the same as the one we encountered last time."
Feeling the speed of the corpse in front of him, Atier made a rough estimate in his mind, then stabbed the sword in his hand into a corner and fought with the other two corpses on the side.
A gust of sword wind flashed by and slashed hard on the shoulder of a corpse, cutting off one of his arms.
But the next moment, granulation tissue began to grow at the wound. The corpse roared, picked up the arm from the ground and connected it directly. It recovered in a short while, which made Athir's eyelids twitch.
Compared to the various powerful monsters in the wild, these corpses are actually not that strong.
However, as a kind of weird, they not only have unlimited physical strength, but also have immortality to some extent, which is their most difficult point. If you don't find an accurate way to target them, even if you are much stronger than them, you can only be slowly worn down by them in the end.
Thinking of this, Athir mobilized the life energy in his body and slowly transferred it to the sword in his hand.
As the life energy wrapped around it, the black sword was slowly covered by a layer of light green, with a unique sense of sharpness.
Athir rushed forward, and the surrounding space was filled with a strong wind because of his rapid movement, and he rushed forward fiercely.
Before the zombies on the opposite side could react, he had already rushed in front of them and slashed forward fiercely with the sword in his hand.
Heavy Slash!!
As the life seed in the body vibrates, the power of life energy explodes completely, bringing out the full power of the knight's secret skills.
