"Then, how do we find the location of this Walking Corpse Controller?" asked Wei Wuxie who was a little clueless with something mystical.
The problem was that Wei Wuxie was a person who lived by using sword training. He was used to physical combat, and very rarely encountered anything like this. Even the Wei family was a noble who was hereditary as a War General.
There is no fortune or fortune in war. What is there is strategy.
Zhang Yuwen looked at the extremely calm Hua. The man had no intention of talking to them despite being in the group of the three of them. It was just that he was sure this Hua had knowledge that was above everyone else. Although Hua's identity is a bit confusing.
Especially with his ability. As they were chased by the Walking Corpse, no one dared to approach Hua. That made Li Wei protected as well. All the Walking Bodies that blocked them headed towards Zhang Yuwen and Wei Wuxie.
This is of course weird.
Li Wei also looked at Hua, and when the man also looked at her, Li Wei immediately pretended to blink as much as she could. At this close distance, however, it would be very strange if they looked at it. The problem was not that Li Wei wanted to look at Hua, but that she wanted to ask Hua for her opinion.
SRETT!
Therefore Hua directly came out from their hiding. Especially when the smoke around has billowed. That was what Wei Wuxie wanted. If the grass is burned, when the smoke goes out it is still there.
Plus they now need to anticipate other enemies. With this smog the Walking Corpse would be a little fooled by the smell.
Li Wei also came out followed by her two friends. There he stared at Hua's sturdy back. Then, the man's hand grabbed the extremely ordinary thin sword. Li Wei often saw it on the market, and clearly Hua did not care much about his own weapons.
The greatness of the weapon lies not in the greatness of the sword, but the greatness of the sword user.
"Come," said Hua who lowered her head in front of Li Wei.
Eh?
"It seems unnecessary, Mr. Hua," said Li Wei who felt bad.
Though it would be very troublesome if Hua always carried Li Wei. The rest of them are walking. They are fighting with the Walking Dead. Not going around downtown to see the sights.
Hua turned to Li Wei from the side. It instantly made Li Wei only able to resigned. He hugged Hua's neck, and the man got up easily. It's like Li Wei isn't that annoying for Hua.
Zhang Yuwen followed the two of them, "The Princess' short legs will be unusable if it gets hurt worse than this."
Li Wei clearly felt pain in his leg. But he didn't know it would be that bad. Over Hua's shoulder he looked towards his own foot, and saw like a mold of five fingers on his ankle. Since when did he get hit by corpse powder?
More than anything Hua didn't even say anything, but she already knew it. Li Wei even remembered that he had fallen because he was pulled by a corpse walking from the ground.
"Master Hua, sorry to bother you," said Li Wei who felt bad.
"Hmmm ..."
For now Li Wei had already gotten used to Hua's extremely short response.
Right now they were walking, but with a voice as minimal as possible. They must not let these Walking Dead realize their existence. Obviously they had to save manpower, rather than running while fighting.
SRETT!
Hua's steps came to a halt when Wei Wuxie suddenly stood in front of him. Li Wei who was in Hua's sling inevitably looked at Wei Wuxie not understanding. Especially with Wei Wuxie's flat face that was like challenging.
"Sorry troublesome, Mr. Hua. We can take care of the Princess, because we are used to helping each other," said Wei Wuxie who was somehow. Perhaps Wei Wuxie was offended by Hua's response to Li Wei.
However, Wei Wuxie's respect for Li Wei was noticeable. It was quite large, and Wei Wuxie had always followed Li Wei lately. Then, Zhang Yuwen joined them. Obviously Wei Wuxie did not let Hua be rude to Li Wei.
Li Wei who was between the two chunks of ice. He meant that Wei Wuxie and Hua, they were both quiet and flat like the end pocket of the month of the readers. So Li Wei could not say anything to respond to him.
But Hua was clearly too unconcerned about the circumstances. He shifted and walked again as if he did not care about Wei Wuxie. However, Wei Wuxie said again, "If you don't intend to embrace flowers, don't pick her up."
Whatdoes thatmean?
Li Wei who somewhat did not understand what Wei Wuxie meant. He simply turned his head to Wei Wuxie who was still standing behind him. However Hua was still walking forward so Li Wei could not see Wei Wuxie's expression.
What the hell is going on here?
Zhang Yuwen raised his hand while rubbing his waist dear. "Rather than scrambling to carry the Princess, there's still me to carry here."
However, Wei Wuxie did not care about Zhang Yuwen either. The man walked following the earlier Hua walking quietly. "Hey, he said he helped each other."
Zhang Yuwen wanted to protest with a bigger voice, but he could not say it. Alternatively, these Walking Bodies would scan the direction of their voices.
THE CRUTCHES!
Just now in a calm atmosphere, Zhang Yuwen's feet had already stepped on a dry twig. This made the entire gaze point towards Zhang Yuwen's feet.
"Grrh." The buzz sounded like people were braking.
Of course these Walking Bodies could hear the direction of that voice. Moreover, the sound of a twig being stepped on was quite loud. Zhang Yuwen's face immediately paled. Pitying his misfortune.
When the Undead Life began to walk towards the direction of the voice, that was Zhang Yuwen. Wei Wuxie immediately gave a cue for Zhang Yuwen to move on little by little.
SRAT!
CLAP UP!
CLAP UP!
Li Wei looked up at them on foot again. The atmosphere was exactly the same as the one he had experienced before, namely the crowd of bats that filled the sky. So, this bat was not a 'toy' made by Ling Xiao!
Lucky I wasn't greedy and wanted to get hunted then!
If only that time Li Wei intended to add to his Night Hunt points again, and shoot one of the bats, then he would be depleted. Who would have thought if the bats that filled this sky were the original horde. Li Wei could have moved to nature just because it disrupted the gathering of these bats.
"It's close" Hua said, causing Li Wei to look around.
If Hua said it was close, then what was meant was where the cursed sword was planted. The problem was did they have to destroy the sword that was already implanted in this place?
No one knew how terrifying the vengeful-filled sword was. More than anything, the sword was also given a seal so that it could not spread its curse. However, if the sword was able to attract bad energy and turn on the Walking Corpse, it might be ...
"The seal attached to the sword has disappeared," Li Wei said half in disbelief.
After all if a sword was sealed, the only ones who could release it were two. The first was the one that gave the seal, and the second was the owner of the sword itself. Or, ... It could be that this has been too long until the seal is not as strong as before, especially if the one sealing it is clearly gone.
I don't know who used to have the power to seal the sword here.
"In history it is mentioned that bats are a sign of the curse of the Prince of Preachers," explained Wei Wuxie who often read books on history and political issues in the Li Kingdom.
SRAT!
"Revelation!" zhang Yuwen shouted as he looked at a bat that was about to strike towards Wei Wuxie.
Lucky Wei Wuxie was more deft, and immediately lowered her head. It seemed like these bats were guarding the area where the sword was located, so they now looked like they were bothering them. This made Li Wei feel strange, even though when Li Wei was alone this bat did nothing.
"Run," Hua said as she slashed at a bat that was flying low towards them.
The sound of the swarm of bats chasing them was already like a swarm of bees. Zhang Yuwen took the torch from the edge, and threw it over. Instantly the swarm of bats broke up as it avoided the fire.
Thanks to that they were able to run some distance away, and Hua suddenly stopped.
Inevitably Zhang Yuwen and Wei Wuxie also stopped.
"What's wrong?" li Wei asked in a confused tone. He even stretched out a bit of his arm that was hugging Hua's neck for fear of Hua stopping from suffocating.
When I was in a precarious state where I knew that my hand was strangling people accidentally.
It's funny if it happens, because it can be a strange information like, "A Royal Princess Intentionally Strangled a Human with an Initial 'H' because of Panic".
I don't know why Li Wei thought about it.
Then, Hua noticed the circumstances around her. "Something's weird."
Wasn't it that the people around them were weird?
Starting from those who are always circling in the same place. Then, the appearance of the Walking Corpse along with the bats one village. So, what's stranger than all that?
A TAP!
A TAP!
The voice ...
Li Wei turned his head back when he heard a sound like the ground collapsing. But what collapsed was clearly not the ground. The labyrinth wall around it.
It certainly became a scary thing when the tall labyrinth wall suddenly collapsed. While they are still around him. At worst, they were buried here because of rock debris.
Just as Hua wanted to run forward again to avoid the ruins, the labyrinth wall in front of her also swayed.
It's like these walls suddenly lose all their sticky power to each other. The stones that were originally attached to the wall were scattered, ...
BRACKET!
"I haven't even written a will to those around me. Though I want to leave the rest of the chicken bones that I hid in the closet yesterday." All four of them Li Wei cried over something as insignificant as this.
Zhang Yuwen who was observing around to look for another way, "What is the Princess storing chicken bones for?"
Over time this little girl just got weird. Unfortunately Zhang Yuwen did not want to say it directly. Just because he didn't want to change the cause of his death, that was because he was strangled by Li Wei.
"Who knows in the future the chicken is extinct. So that your grandchildren know that there was a creature named chicken before," explains Li Wei who is actually very insignificant.
Or, the girl was just trying to amuse herself.
Somehow only Hua's face was flat when she heard Li Wei's story. He told them a very bad news. "It looks like we're indeed being directed towards here."
Starting from them being chased by the Walking Corpse. Then, this swarm of bats appeared, and made them have to run in this direction. It was all like intentionally gathering them.
BAM!
"Is this a human act?" zhang Yuwen asked who was running away from the boulder that had almost hit his head. The stone was thrown from the top of the labyrinth, and headed straight towards them.
More than anything ... They all know this is so unnatural.
Is it true that the Prince of Preachers still exists? If that's the case about the Prince of Preachers is not a story.
BRUOK!!
The loud voice sounded again. This time they knew that the dust and rock from the labyrinth avalanche would hit them. Li Wei closed his eyes as an invasion of pebbled dust headed towards his face.
Hua however spun around so that the pebble dust hit the back of their heads. Then, the labyrinth around them avalanches simultaneously. Hua lowered Li Wei to the ground, and covered Li Wei's head with the tip of his long robe.
Everything happened so quickly that Li Wei could only close his eyes.
BRUK!!!
The stones fell to the ground, and presented a stretch of rock. There was about half the labyrinth that was avalanche, and dust rose into the air. After that, the four of them were no longer visible to the surface.
***
When the sound of the landslide rang out, Li Jun and his troops became on standby. The tall man's gaze pointed at the sky above them. There's a cloud of dust over the labyrinth. Where the dust was spinning as if someone had just spilled a lot of dust there.
With his hand Li Jun blocked the fall of dust onto his face.
Li Chen who was beside him stared in disbelief, "Isn't that the sound of a landslide? Isn't the ground surface inside the labyrinth a flat surface?"
If asked like that, Li Jun couldn't answer either. Li Jun ordered the soldiers who were with him to check into the labyrinth first. But not long before the soldier walked, he returned before Li Jun.
Paying his respects, "Sorry, Prince Li Jun. We can't find a door to go to the next one."
"Didn't Astrologer Ling say that the entrance to the Stone Labyrinth wasn't hard to find?Each door leads to the next part of the labyrinth," Li Jun asked sharply at the soldier.
The soldier lowered his head in fear, "It's not hard to find the door, but the entrance into the labyrinth is closed, Prince. There's an avalanche of rocks blocking the entrance."
What the fuck!
Of the many things, why is the landslide new now?
Just now that Li Jun wanted to head towards the door that the soldier was referring to, the figure in his all-white clothes, the clothes of the Li Kingdom fortune teller, came over. It was Ling Xiao.
The man came with his face very calm.
"Vigilant Ling, what exactly happened? Didn't you say that the night quarry you provided won't damage the Stone Labyrinth? Why could the stone labyrinth be destroyed?" li Jun asked in succession.
Ling Xiao sighed, "I don't know either."
Everything happened outside of what they planned.
