Chapter 400 Watchdog
Underground, dark, cold and narrow, and a white skeleton appeared.
It looks like a scene from a horror movie, but in fact Yang Yiyi is not afraid of corpses. The main reason is the sudden appearance of corpses in the field of vision when the light shines on them.
Let alone a white skeleton, even a living person would be shocking.
When she discovered that it was indeed a completely whitened skeleton, Yang Yiyi calmed down. He patted his chest and said:
"It scared me to death. I thought it was some kind of monster."
"In a sense, it can be regarded as a kind of monster."
"...?"
Yang Yiyi didn't understand what Li Chengqi meant, but she immediately saw that the white bones leaning against the cave wall moved as if twitching.
In an instant, Yang Yiyi felt that all the hairs on her body stood up, and a numbing feeling on her scalp enveloped her whole body.
Immediately afterwards, she saw a sudden sound of pale undead fire igniting in the black eye sockets of the white skull. It was obviously just a set of bones, but she slowly stood up holding on to the cave wall. The bones collided, making a crackling sound, and he walked towards Yang Yiyi step by step.
"Brother Li! That! That is!"
"Just a skeleton."
"Just?!"
"Congratulations, you successfully met the ghost you have been dreaming about."
"I'm not thinking about it!"
In the past, when she told ghost stories at Po Tao Temple to scare Zheng Yinping, she was very excited. But when she saw the skeleton stand up on its own, Yang Yiyi was so frightened that she could hardly move.
"This is the weakest movable bone. It's just a movable bone at best. You can crush it with just one punch."
"That's a ghost! How can you kill him with your fists?"
"You can really kill him with your fists."
Since Li Chengqi had also encountered ghosts before, he later specifically asked Aldai about undead creatures.
According to Alday, physical undead creatures like this are the best to deal with, and farmers can deal with them in one or two strokes with a carrying pole.
This also explains why Yang Yiyi felt cold just now. It was the erosion of negative energy, not just the low temperature. She would feel cold no matter how much she wore.
Seeing the moving bones getting closer and closer, Yang Yiyi was so frightened that she stepped back and almost tripped.
"Listen to me, go up and give it a punch."
"Is it really possible?"
"When did I ever fool you?"
In the end, the long-term trust played a role. Yang Yiyi plucked up the courage, ran to the side of the old bone and punched the old bone in the neck.
This punch not only easily shattered Dong Bai Gu's neck bones, but also knocked its skull away and smashed it against the cave wall, shattering it into pieces.
The remaining parts moved immediately and scattered all over the floor with a crash.
"See, I could have done it if I told you earlier."
The White Bones is the weakest among the undead creatures. It poses almost no threat and even children can kill it.
Yang Yiyi let out a sigh of relief when she saw this, and quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe her hands, feeling that touching this thing would bring bad luck.
"Move forward, yes, on the stone slab that the skeleton was leaning on just now. What did you see?"
"Nothing, just rocks."
"No traces at all? No ripple marks or anything like that?"
Yang Yiyi shook her head and said she didn't see anything.
This is strange. At first, Li Chengqi thought that someone might have accidentally fallen into the cave. Later, he might have been injured and could not go back, so he died here and eventually turned into a set of bones.
But even if the corpse turns into bones, the rotting skin and flesh will not leave any trace behind. If you go to a museum and look at the clothes worn by the tomb owners in ancient tombs, you will find ripple marks all over them, like large pieces of coffee or cola spilled on the clothes.
Those are actually the traces of pus, tissue fluid, blood, etc. imprinted on the fibers after the flesh and blood have decayed.
If this person accidentally slipped and fell here and died, there would be some traces left behind the stone slab instead of nothing.
Either it's a beast that eats people dry and leaves only the bones, then puts the bones back together intact, or...
Someone deliberately placed this skeleton here.
The conditions for the formation of undead creatures are actually quite harsh, and in most cases they are only possible underground. After all, sunlight is the eternal enemy of undead creatures, and they will die as soon as the sun shines on them, so most people have never seen ghosts.
This cave is the most suitable condition for the formation of undead creatures, but that does not mean that all caves are suitable. According to Aldee, only when negative energy accumulates to a certain level can the corpses of living creatures turn into undead creatures.
For example, when I found the escape cave under Thunder Mountain, there was also a white bone in it, but it did not become an undead creature.
In short, this thing may be artificially created.
Combined with the testimony of the villagers, the possibility of someone causing trouble is getting higher and higher.
While he was thinking about this, Li Chengqi saw a row of onomatopoeia bubbles popping up on the edge of the screen, which read "Kara Kara".
At the same time, Yang Yiyi hurriedly stood up and looked up in that direction. Then, a large group of white skeletons crowded together and entered the range of the flashlight like a crowd.
"Brother Li!"
"Don't panic, they're just the same moving bones as before."
This amount is abnormal no matter how you look at it, it must be man-made.
But having said that, Yang Yiyi still dared to go up and hammer one or two skeletons. There were so many skeletons crowded in the field of vision, almost filling the entire passage. Just looking at them made her whole body feel cold. Yang Yiyi really I don’t dare to take action anymore.
Li Chengqi saw this and said:
"These skeletons were probably used as watchdogs, mainly to scare away people who entered the cave."
One characteristic of undead creatures is that they hate the living very much. As long as the breath of a living person approaches, they will collectively wake up from dormancy and launch an attack.
And the sensitivity is very high. It is said that it is really useful when used as a watchdog.
"Then what should we do!"
"I told you not to panic, I'll think of a way."
Yu Gui jumped out of Yang Yiyi's arms and floated in mid-air. Soon, a large piece of purple light shot out from Yu Gui.
In this blue-purple light, the shadow of the skeleton looked even more eerie, but soon, the skeletons near the light broke apart and fell to the ground.
When Yang Yiyi saw it, she felt relieved.
"Brother Li, did you use immortal magic?"
"It's just ultraviolet light."
She didn't delve into what ultraviolet light was, thinking it was some kind of magic, but in fact Li Chengqi just picked up the purple light used for banknote inspection and shined it at the screen...
Since undead creatures are afraid of sunlight, but magic lights, emergency lights and even firelight are of no use to undead creatures, it is very likely that they are actually afraid of ultraviolet rays.
By the way, why does this thing look like Kaz? It is also the ultimate creature that can lift its crotch cloth towards the sunset, right?
Yang Yiyi felt relieved for a few seconds, and the purple light emitted by Yu Gui disappeared immediately, and then Li Chengqi said:
"You take care of the rest, hit them with confidence and hit them with a steel mace."
"..."
