Obsidian Square.

The bell tower surrounded by flowers and vines is like a lighthouse in the darkness, but in the shadows where the light cannot shine, one by one, the green skeletons are like evil ghosts crawling out of hell, dormant silently in the darkness. Their bodies are thin.

The mountain ghost passed by the bell tower, and a pair of bony hands stretched out from the darkness suddenly grabbed the back of the mountain ghost's neck.

The hard scales on the mountain ghost's neck melted quickly in the blink of an eye. The severe pain made him blush, and a hoarse scream came out of his bloody throat. After the mountain ghost fell, the surrounding skeletons rushed forward like crazy.

Such a bloody and grotesque scene attracted attention from all directions, and the skeletons hidden elsewhere took the opportunity to blend into the crowd——

Accompanied by screams and curses, Obsidian Square instantly became chaotic.

When the patrol team from Nanzhi and the main city arrived in a hurry, the scene was already in chaos. Decorative flowers were scattered all over the ground. The statues by the pool were knocked to the ground by the hurriedly fleeing monsters. The surrounding area was in a mess. There was no ability to protect oneself.

All the monsters have retreated to the edge of the square, but under the bell tower not far away, dozens of skeletons are pressing forward step by step; the square is a mess, with seriously injured people, those running for their lives, and even worse.

He became interested in skeletons he had never seen before, and many powerful monsters had already fought against them.

Xie Qihan arrived almost at the same time as Nan Zhi. Even though he heard the elf roughly describe their appearance on the road, when he saw these skeletons that exuded a gloomy and dead air, Xie Qihan couldn't help but said in disgust: "They are too ugly. Buried

You can’t even find this kind of junk in a boneyard.”

Nan Zhi's eyes swept over the dark green, spiderweb-like fine lines on the skeleton, and a look of confusion mixed with disbelief appeared between her eyebrows. Xie Qihan noticed her abnormality and asked keenly: "Do you know what this is?"

"

"Not sure yet."

After Nan Zhi finished speaking, near the fountain pool in the center of the square, the skeleton that was originally at a disadvantage suddenly jumped desperately at Feng Kui, who was fighting with it. The first skeleton was easily torn apart by the wind blade and was attacked from behind.

The second one was also cut into a pile of broken bones, but the third one, the fourth one... The nearby skeletons all rushed towards Feng Kui. Nan Zhi sensed something was wrong, and suddenly raised her voice: "

Stand back! Stay away from them!"

But when Feng Kui saw this, his blood was aroused. He turned a deaf ear to Nan Zhi's warning and had no intention of retreating. To his surprise, the skeleton that was supposed to be killed suddenly jumped out from the pile of broken bones.

Feng Kui was busy dealing with the endless attacks from all directions. He couldn't react in time and was penetrated straight into the heart by a sharp bone hand!

"Hey!" Xie Qihan saw that the situation was not good, "These guys are not easy to deal with, but they also know how to besiege them."

Nan Zhi didn't answer his words. She stared at the fallen Feng Kui, as if confirming something. Feng Kui's skin and flesh seemed to be corroded and melted into a thick black water, leaving only the dark bones.

?, a faint green light gradually emerged on it, like a cold will-o'-the-wisp in the cemetery.

Click, click.

The black acid skeleton made a numbing sound. Under the disbelieving gazes of the nearby monsters, Feng Kui, who had turned into a skeleton, supported the ground with his skeletal hands and stood up again.

There was an uproar from all around! The previously fearless monsters stared at Feng Kui's skeleton as if they were ghosts. Nan Zhi finally confirmed her guess.

"This is the undead..." Nan Zhi's expression was uglier than ever. It was the first time Xie Qihan heard this name, and subconsciously asked: "What?"

Although she had a rough guess when she saw the green lines on the skeleton, this was also the first time Nan Zhi saw the undead with her own eyes. She still heard Xuan Tan mention that the undead gathered in the River of Death, and the only place in the sky was

The enemy only has sunlight. What's more troublesome is that the creatures killed by the undead will also mutate into the undead. Once these things appear in groups, they will quickly spread like a plague.

Too late to think? Why did the undead appear in the free port? Nan Zhi activated the demonic power? The dense vines broke through the obsidian floor tiles in the square, dividing the undead from the monsters: "Back off!! Everyone get out of here!"

Witnessing Feng Kui's fate, even the most aggressive monsters realized the seriousness of the matter. They retreated one after another, but there were still some people who did not react in time and were thrown to the ground by the undead that rushed up. Soon other undead were like

Covered by the tide, several monsters melted into skeletons before they could even scream.

Seeing several more new undead souls, Xie Qihan felt a chill: "According to what you said, these things can't be killed. What should we do now?!"

Nan Zhi immediately made a decision and said to the waiting patrol: "Take all the people away first, otherwise the number of undead will increase!"

The patrol team immediately began to evacuate the chaotic mess of monsters. The monster patterns on Xie Qihan's arms glowed with dazzling light, and golden blood walls rose from the ground. Together with Nanzhi's vines, they were able to temporarily trap the undead. But? Countless undead.

They rushed towards the blood wall like a stack of Arhats, and the strong corrosiveness on their bodies caused the vines and blood wall to melt quickly.

Nan Zhi stared at the frantic skeleton, and a small figure quickly flew in her direction. All the map elves in Freeport can share information with each other. What did the little elf say quickly in Nan Zhi's ear?

Nan Zhi turned around and said to the leader of the patrol: "The boss asked us to take all the people to the castle! Move quickly!"

After Nan Zhi finished speaking, she immediately faced Xie Qihan: "I will stay here, and you will take some of the people to the Oak Mountain Arena. There are undead spirits there as well."

Thinking of the number of monsters near the arena, Xie Qihan cursed and quickly called out the names of several patrol captains: "Take all of your men and follow me!"

Boom, boom, boom——

Before Xie Qihan could leave, the huge bell tower rang on time. Two or three undead souls climbed to the highest point of the bell tower, and they cast dark shadows on the clock face.

The solemn and deep sound of the bell was no different from every time in the past, but it was like some kind of ill-intentioned pronouncement.

It's twelve o'clock noon.

However, the number of people in the free port has not decreased at all because the open day is over. The barrier surrounding the entire city seems to have completely lost its screening function and has not expelled the monsters who are not strong enough. There are also people in the group of monsters?

Discovering the anomaly, he panicked and said, "Didn't you say you can leave at one to twelve o'clock?!"

"What's going on? Can't we get out at all?!"

…

…

If there were only the residents of Freeport, it would be possible for everyone to unite to suppress the undead, but on the opening day a large number of monsters with mediocre strength poured in, and many people did not even have the ability to protect themselves in the face of the undead. ...If the number of undead continues to rise, it will be a complete disaster.

Xie Qihan and Nan Zhi looked at each other and saw solemn looks in each other's eyes.

The raging sea tides constantly hit the rocks. Without sunlight, the blue bay appears gloomy black during the day, and the waves roll and foam.

The castle on the cliff was brightly lit, and the formerly magnificent hall housed a large number of embarrassed monsters. Many of them had traces of corrosion on their bodies, and some were even bloody. The seriously injured monsters were all carried on stretchers. Bringing people to the garden and escaping into the castle through the water? Fish are gathering in the garden pool to treat the wounded.

"Where did you come from?" The sharp nails of the human fish peeled off the rotten flesh on the monster's legs, and he looked at the bloody companion next to him, "Your friend's injury is very serious. He will be late." A little, and you may not be able to save your life.”

The monster grinned in pain, and after the mermaid helped stop the bleeding, he replied: "Ghost Bar. At first, we thought it was a show put on by the bar owner. You know that place is full of skeleton soldiers of the Witch Clan... but it turned out In less than half an hour, there were not many people alive in the bar!"

Although he was seriously injured, the monster's mental condition was not bad. Finally, the monster asked again: "Why are you all here, people? Don't all fish live in the sea?"

"Forget it, there are undead souls in the sea, what a heck!" Thinking of those monsters diving into the water, people or fishes have lingering fears, "If I hadn't swam fast, I might have turned into a skeleton now."

The brave monsters can still chat with the human fish for a word or two. More injured people were horrified after witnessing the undead killing people, especially when a dog monster died of blood loss due to excessive injuries and mutated into After the undead, the tense atmosphere reached its peak, and screams and cries broke out in the garden. Although the hurried patrol members quickly left with the undead, the commotion caused could not subside for a long time.

The shadow of death hangs over everyone's head, and no one has the heart to talk to others.

As soon as Xu Yinian and Yu Huaifu returned to the castle, the patrols in charge of different areas immediately surrounded them: "Boss, the coastline is almost completely occupied by the undead. There are bars everywhere, and more than half of the monsters are here. Transformed into undead."

"There was a monster that failed to control its power while fighting the undead. A fire broke out in the garden in the middle of Long Lane. The nearby library has been burned down. The fire is still spreading, but we put up a barrier before evacuating. …”

"News has just been sent back that undead spirits have also appeared in the sea near the castle. They may crawl in from the sewer pipes..."

For a time, all kinds of information mixed with panic impacted everyone's brains. Amidst the noise, Yu Huai interrupted them with a blank face: "Come one by one."

When Xu Yinian saw this, he held Yu Huai's hand with some worry.

They met a lot of undead on their way back from the outskirts of the city. Because they brought many seriously injured monsters with no ability to protect themselves, they could not delay any longer. The undead could not be completely killed, and Xu Yinian's attack only consumed himself. The superpowers were not of great use, so we could only rely on Yu Huai to temporarily trap them to buy time along the way. Although Yu Huai acted very calmly from the beginning to the end, Xu Yinian could feel that, He was obviously suppressing his anger when facing these undead spirits.

Freeport is the place left by Xuan Tan to Yu Huai. For Yu Huai, this city is like "home". However, the undead spirits who set fire everywhere destroy it wantonly and make the Free Port a mess.

Seeing that Yu Huai's face was not good-looking, the patrol team that was eager to report all fell silent. After a while, they began to explain the situation one by one in a low voice.

Not long after, Nan Zhi and Xie Qihan rushed back to the castle one after another, and they brought back a large number of injured monsters. Xu Yinian looked at Hua Hengjing who was walking with Xie Qihan in surprise. There was a ferocious mark on the phantom monster's shoulder.

The wound made his face look much paler than usual.

Although the power of the undead is infinite and immortal, its strength is still far behind that of Hua Hengjing. Xu Yinian couldn't help but ask: "How did you get yourself into this?"

Hua Hengjing was also quite depressed and said with a wry smile: "Illusion is ineffective against them."

After all the reports were completed, Yu Huai had time to take a look at Hua Hengjing's appearance and summoned the spirit body.

The white mist wrapped around Hua Hengjing's bloody shoulder. The phantom demon hissed and looked around the hall while waiting for the wound to stop bleeding and scabbing. Some demons with hot tempers and strong strength would be fine even if they were injured.

They were frightened, but more weak monsters gathered together in twos and threes, with a look of panic on their faces. This situation was really troublesome.

Even if the situation is temporarily controlled, these monsters cannot stay in the castle forever. As long as there is no sun, the undead can roam freely in the free port. They do not need food or water. For a long time, they need to be supported first.

The ones who can't live must be their side.

"What are you going to do?" Hua Hengjing lowered his voice.

Yu Huai glanced at the chaotic hall, raised his hand to set up a soundproof array, and surrounded Xu Yinian?, Xie Qihan, Nan Zhi and several patrol members. He briefly explained the invalidation of the contract, and Hua Hengjing's eyes gradually

Shen Shen said: "After the undead appeared, Freeport fell into eternal night... the timing is too coincidental."

The strangest part of the whole thing is this. The darkness of the Freeport will undoubtedly be more conducive to the undead operations, as if there is a pair of invisible hands behind it, but logically speaking, no one can control the Freeport except Yu Huai.

of day and night.

Yu Huai suddenly asked: "I asked you to look for a monster with dark purple eyes. Do you have any news later?"

Several patrol members shook their heads, and one of them said: "We have never met a target that meets the requirements. On the day of the parade, there were many monsters made up with purple eyes, but none of them looked similar to you.

"

Yu Huai frowned when he heard this, and Hua Hengjing said: "Mr. Yu? Boss, have you ever contacted the outside world?"

"Regular contact methods have been cut off. The vice-principal and I have a special method of contact. But now that outside reinforcements can't come in, we can't get out, so contacting him won't be of much use." Yu Huai looked at him.

It was a dark night outside the window, and the sky in the distance was still pitch black without a trace of starlight.

The free port suspended on the sea is like a closed island, and the existing resources in the castle are not enough for so many monsters. If this dilemma continues for a long time, not to mention the undead, hunger and fear will kill most of them.

monster.
