Chapter 27 The Dead Silent Land


    “Honestly, I don’t think this is a good idea.”


    Walking on the desolate and remote path in a carriage, the tone of the elf scout was full of helplessness. They are walking in a wilderness, and looking around, there seems to be no sign of life here. The woods in the distance have long withered, and the land that once was farmland is left with only a dark and barren area.


    This is the dead place.


    This place was once the fief of a nobleman a long time ago. At that time, the count was facing the crisis of inheritance. He had only one daughter and no son, while his brothers were eyeing his title and land. At this moment, a young and handsome man took the initiative to find the Count. He claimed that he was a nobleman from a distant country and hoped to marry the Count''s daughter.


    Perhaps based on the principle of "it would rather be with friendly countries than to give them slaves", the old earl agreed to the young man''s request, so the other party married the earl''s daughter and successfully inherited the title of earl, and the old earl passed away after that.


    But in fact, that young man was not a nobleman, but a vampire. After this, the rest of the Earl family either died "accidentally" or disappeared, or became the vampire''s servant. Soon, the vampire controlled the land and became a powerful terrifying existence.


    At that time, the empire was in civil strife. Simply put, the current history was repeated. The emperor passed away. Everyone fought for the next emperor. Three princes decided to become kings. This shows that history has not changed at all.


    Seizing this opportunity, the vampire finally showed its fangs. On a dark and windy night, he killed all the people in the territory, transformed them all into undeads under his control, formed an army of undeads, and launched an attack on the empire.


    Faced with the attack from the vampire army, the empire, which was in the civil war, finally abandoned its past grudges and was unanimous to the outside world. After all, everyone just wanted to be emperors, not to become slaves to vampires. So under the premise of the unified front, the empire also began to resist the attacks of vampires.


    But that vampire is indeed powerful. With the help of the power of a magical ring, he is not afraid of any harm at all. Whether it is beheaded or heartbroken, this vampire can be resurrected and killed in a short period of time - well, the blood locked resurrection belongs to it.


    In this way, the vampire army advanced rapidly and came to the Emperor City.


    However, there were unexpected situations in the world. Just as the vampire was about to take down the royal city in one fell swoop, his magical ring suddenly disappeared "mysteriously". The vampire who lost his blood-locking resurrection pendant was very annoyed and attacked the royal city again. But this time, he failed to succeed, but was completely defeated by the empire and then finished.


    As soon as the head coach died, the vampire army fell apart and was beaten by the empire that he was pursued by victory and didn''t even recognize his mother. And just after this war, the internal chaos in the empire ended, and everyone recommended the prince who contributed the most and most powerfully in the vampire war to serve as the next emperor.


    In order to end the civil turmoil in the empire, a vampire traveled thousands of miles to take the initiative to give up his head. What kind of self-sacrifice is this?


    After that, this territory became a cursed dead place. At the beginning, there were also nobles who were not afraid of death and tried to inherit the fiefdom. However, after several nobles died here in a row, everyone also stayed away from it.


    After this, this place becomes a state of death. It is rumored that those who were once killed by vampires and transformed into dead are still wandering on this land, killing everyone who dares to invade this land.


    Well... Judging from the scene in front of you, you can''t say that this rumor is groundless.


    By the way, the necromancer and the vampire are actually different races. Even in the soul card, the necromancer and the vampire are separated. Like the resentful spirits and ghosts summoned by Duanmu Huai before, they all belong to the dead, but vampires are undead creatures. To put it bluntly, vampires are more like species that "do not die naturally". After all, they still need to eat and maintain by sucking blood. Although vampires are similar to dead people on the surface, just needing to **** blood to maintain and improve is a survival behavior of life.


    Therefore, when facing the filthy god, vampires are not as "invincible as the dead", and can only be considered as [higher resistance].


    Conversely, when facing the dead, the believers of the filthy **** are helpless - viruses and diseases cannot infect bones and ghosts.


    Similarly, because of the hatred of life, the dead and the dead will crazily attack any living beings who dare to step into their territory.


    Yes, although the believers of the God of Defiled are swollen all over their bodies, with spores of thick liquid everywhere, and their bodies are filled with disgusting smell of rotten smell. Parasites even creep around in their bodies, as happy as mice swimming in cheese, they are still "living", "fresh" and "life bodies".


    This is the reason why Duanmuhuai chose this route.


    If corrupt believers really plan to continue to use the human sea tactics to track themselves and others, then they can only venture into this territory and fight against the undead here. After all, they are not good at secret infiltration, and if there are not enough people, it is impossible to pose a threat to Duanmu Huai and others.


    In contrast, Duanmu Huai and his group have a small number of people and their targets are small. If they are lucky enough and cautious enough, they might be able to sneak over.


    Under the satellite scanning of the strategic command room, Duanmuhuai is now like opening a full map, and you can clearly see where it is more dangerous and where it is safer. Therefore, under his leadership, the group walked smoothly.


    But...


    “I’m really not used to this place.”


    Sitting in the carriage, staring at the surroundings, the elf scout complained in dissatisfaction. Everything here gives people a dead silence, and even the air you breathe seems to be mixed with biting ice crystals. Even if you take a breath, you can feel the whole body trembling. Even the two horses pulling the cart are weak now. They basically cannot eat any good food and can only eat the withered weeds on the roadside...


    "Okay, if you have time to complain, we might as well think about how to get out of here as soon as possible."


    Duanmu Huai didn''t care much, after all, this place was like this. He opened the map and glanced, and the Knight Kado and the Elf Scout came over.


    To be honest, it’s already a mess outside.


    The three princes have all become kings and have begun to fight the Imperial Civil War version 2.0, but unfortunately, there is no vampire who has given them a thousand miles to unite again this time. The City of Silver finally fell, and the entire territory has become a paradise for the joy of viruses, plagues and corrupt believers, and is spreading around. A large number of refugees poured into other nearby territories, which were basically hit by the civil war.


    The route given by the elf scout is to pass through the Wisen Territory, which has become a wilderness of death, and then find a way to cross the grey mountains in the south to reach Batonia - a country with a small area but relatively peaceful area. At least there, people can live a peaceful life.


    Well, the premise is not to be a farmer.


    Of course, there is no perfect country in this world, and Bartonia has problems of this kind. However, compared with the civil war 2.0 that is 2.0 in the empire and the tyrannical and corrupt believers who are galloping on the empire territory, Bartonia is already a very good choice.


    Or there is no better choice. After all, if you don’t go to Batonia, then everyone will either have to travel through the ogre kingdom to Zhendan, or cross the desert all the way south to Arabi...


    In contrast, going to Batonia only requires crossing the gray mountains, and as long as you don’t have a conflict with those dwarves, the problem is not big.


    At least it is better than crossing the ogre kingdom or going to the desert to die.


    "Continue to move forward, at least now it seems that there should be no people ahead."


    In this deadly silent place, the most dangerous place is not in the wilderness, but in the villages, towns and even castles. Because the vampire lord was tyrannical, almost all the lords in this territory, from peasants to nobles, were killed and transformed into undead, so there was a high possibility that a bunch of undead creatures would be occupied by these places where they lived.


    Therefore, along the way, everyone spent the wilderness and walked around the human town when they saw it.


    Otherwise, it might be the horror game dungeon of Silent Hill + Evil Spirit Castle + this and that one.


    In fact, Duanmu Huai didn''t care. After all, the mission he received before also asked him to go to five copies of the undead fragments. However, considering that there are still a large group of people around, Duanmu Huai doesn''t plan to take risks. If something happens, it will be troublesome. It is better to finish the main task first and then turn around and clean up these undead fragments.


    Everyone complained for a few times, then continued to move forward, the elf scout was driving the carriage, while the old knight sat in front of the carriage. Duanmu Huai held the war hammer in his hand and followed behind. At the beginning, the elf scout deliberately lowered the speed so that Duanmuhuai could keep up. Later she discovered that although this big man looked like he was wearing heavy armor, his speed was not slow at all. Even if he walks with his legs, he can catch up with the speed of the carriage...


    The weather in the dead land is always gloomy and dark, with dark clouds covering the sky, almost dim and sunshine. The cold wind whistled across the wilderness, bringing a low moan like a wailing resentful spirit.


    The horse in charge of pulling the cart didn''t hold on for too long and finally neighed and died. In desperation, Duanmuhuai had to volunteer to pull the carriage forward, and the two horses were dismembered by the elf scout and the old knight and processed them into dry food - after all, there was no food on this land, and the food they took when they escaped from the castle was almost the same.


    However, just as night fell, a strange thing appeared in front of everyone.


    "If my eyes are not blurred, it seems like a hotel?"


    Looking at the building on the roadside in front of him, Duanmuhuai complained, and the elf scout nodded.


    "The door is still open."


    Yes, as the Elf Scout said, this hotel not only has its doors open, but also has brilliant lights, looking like a lively roadside hotel... Well, it would be quite normal if it was not in this deserted place.


    "let''s go."


    Of course Duanmu Huai would not be fooled. I don’t know how much I heard about similar ghost stories in Chinese. So he also pulled the carriage and continued to move forward. At the same time, Duanmuhuai glanced at the task in front of him.


    [Trigger mission "Midnight Hotel"]


    [Task objective: Get out of the dilemma]


    [Why does the unmanned hotel appear in the wilderness at midnight exist? 】?????If Duanmu Huai was the only one here, then he would definitely get in. However, considering that there were still a bunch of old and weak behind him, he decided not to care for the time being.


    Then as we walked, as we walked...


    “To be honest, I’m not surprised at all.”


    Looking at the hotel that appeared in front of him again, Duanmu Huai''s heart was not fluctuating.


    “What should I do now?”


    The elf scout was speechless. Even Alisa and others were looking out the window curiously. No wonder they were so calm. After all, since I entered the dead land, I have experienced all the ghosts, ghosts, screams, and crying... and I have seen them for a lot, and I will become numb.


    "We don''t have a pastor or a bishop to exorcise evil spirits."


    Old Knight Kado touched his beard and said with a wry smile, while Duanmu Huai waved his hand.


    "Let me try."


    As he spoke, Duanmu Huai looked towards the hotel and took a deep breath.


    Then………


    “I CNZZNMSLFNMDCGP……!!”


    He scolded the hotel, and then Duanmuhuai pulled up the carriage again and walked forward.


    And the others were all shocked when facing Duanmu Huai''s vulgar words.


    "What do you mean?"


    The elf scout looked at Duanmuhuai in confusion and asked.


    "Oh, this is a custom in my hometown. When you encounter ghosts, you will swear. Because ghosts are afraid of evil people, so as long as you act fiercely and terrifyingly, the ghost will run away by itself..."


    "Is there any such statement?"


    When everyone heard Duanmu Huai’s answer, they were speechless, but... the facts proved that superstition is superstition.


    "It seems useless."


    The same road, the same hotel, appears in the same location.


    "I don''t believe in this evil anymore. You are looking for death, right?"


    At this moment, Duanmuhuai also became angry and became angry and became brave. He took off his helmet and walked towards the hotel with big strides.


    "I want to see what the **** is this broken thing!"


    However, just as Duanmuhuai reached out to open the hotel door, a sudden change broke out.


    The hotel in front of him suddenly began to twist and deform, followed by a heart-wrenching scream. The next moment, the hotel turned into countless snow-white souls, and disappeared into the night like flying, disappearing.


    “………………”


    “………………”


    The cold wind is rustling.


    Everyone stared at the empty wilderness, and had no idea what was going on.


    Only Duanmu Huai looked at the system prompt in front of him, looking speechless.


    [I used a deterrent to the Ghost Hotel]


    [Ghost Hotel tried to resist......Resistance failed]


    [Ghost Hotel is in a state of panic]


    [Ghost Hotel dissipates]


    [The mission "Midnight Hotel" is completed]


    [Task evaluation: unbelievable]


    [Those who defeat others without fighting are those who are good and good]


    [Get 1000 experience, additional 700 experience, upgrade to level 21, additional soul card +2]


    [Deterrence is increased to LV3] [Progress of "Sleeping Girl" +1]


    [The Ghost Dog in the Hotel (Bronze)]


    【Consumption: 1】


    [Attack: 1]


    【Defense: 1】


    [Kill] [(Entry Song): If the ruin has been started, draw a card]


    [Sao Ling Phenomenon (Silver)]


    [Consumption: 3]


    [Summon 2 resentful spirits to the field] [(Explosion spirit enhancement: 4) Give yourself all cards, "When this servant disappears, it will be destroyed" effect]


    Damn, this is playing with me!


    Duanmu Huai looked speechless, then turned around and put on his helmet and returned to the side of the carriage. At this moment, the elf scout was looking at him with a smile.


    "I said, don''t wear a helmet anymore, so no ghost dares to approach us."


    “…………”


    Hearing this, Duanmu Huai silently gave the elf scout a middle finger.


    He now doesn''t want to say anything except a MMP.
