Soul echo

Chapter 27

The dim blood moon gradually became clear, and night fell.

The blood-red moon made the stars lose their color, and the only light source left in the dark night sky was the blood moon.

The city's curfew has been lifted, but people are tacitly staying at home, looking at the bloodshot moonlight penetrating through the gaps in the houses, feeling uneasy.

The mercenaries came to the streets, stepped on the dirty ground, held weapons tightly in their hands, and patrolled the city like competent city guards.

The city guards that were supposed to protect the city were transferred back to the aristocratic area, and the ruler of the city chose to protect the 'more noble people' - anyway, there are mercenaries hired by the Luna Church in the civilian area, so there is no need to send troops to protect .

Xue Yue was speechless, silently watching the various states of the world.

Zhong Ye wore a scimitar on his waist, a long sword on his back, and several throwing knives and a hatchet hung on his belt.

He wasn't used to wearing armor, even if he had money now, he didn't buy a piece of leather armor.

When the other mercenaries saw his fully armed posture, they couldn't help shaking their heads. He was another ignorant young man.

Hundreds of years have passed, and the physical undead has long since ceased to exist. Unless it is a blessed weapon, it is impossible to cause harm to the spiritual undead at all, and other weapons are just cumbersome.

It's not that Zhong Ye doesn't understand this, it's just that he thinks that he is prepared for any danger. His muscle strength is more than twice that of ordinary people, and carrying this weapon will not affect his combat effectiveness.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but Zhong Ye always feels that the moon tonight seems to be bigger than usual.

Just after leaving the street of the hotel, Zhong Ye suddenly felt something.

Not the wind, but something else was moving.

——It’s elemental energy!

Zhong Ye slowly widened his eyes, and one of the biggest differences between Dan's world and the earth's "extraordinary factor" appeared in his perception, which caught him off guard.

Immediately, his eyes rolled and he turned his head to look to the side.

here we go?

A bit of aura emerges from the depths of the alley, and a transparent spirit body floats out from the ground. It still retains the image when it died. Its messy hair and filthy clothes and pants all show that it was a "vagrant" in life. identity.

It starved to death in the gloomy alley, and there probably wasn't much muscle left in its skinny body.

Under the call of the blood moon, it 'resurrected', with the unwillingness and resentment before death.

The dull eyeballs rolled up, and their eyes locked on the living person at the exit of the alley.

It felt the abundant vitality contained in that living person's body, and it only needed to take a bite, and it might be able to come back to life...

The spirit body moved, it lifted the arm that had turned into sharp claws, instinctively let out a scream, and rushed out of the alley.

eager!Longing for vitality!

The ferocious and haggard face came into his eyes, Zhong Ye suddenly drew his knife, and a white horse swung past the undead's ethereal body, and the spirit body turned into two wisps of smoke, passing by Zhong Ye's side, flying scattered.

Taking a breath, Zhong Ye bent his knees, pressed his legs tightly like springs, and suddenly broke out, escaped from the shadows, and jumped onto the top of a house, bathed in the bloody moonlight.

Standing on the roof, Zhong Ye vaguely sensed the 'energy flow', and without thinking, ran towards the direction where the elemental energy is most concentrated.

It was a long alley, and the souls of the dead who died in gang struggles were revived in confusion, and they returned to the world, but the two parties that should have hated each other attacked the living things together under the drive of resentment.

Mercenaries are scattered on every street in the civilian area. No one knows when and where the undead will appear, so they can only patrol.

This also made it difficult for them to gather in a short period of time. Faced with a large number of undead gangs, the mercenaries who were in Long Lane at that time were suddenly stunned.

He wants to run away, but the last thing he should do now is 'run away'.

The mercenary couldn't even draw out his weapon, and seven or eight sharp claws that could rob life and temperature fell on him, and his fresh body lost temperature instantly. At this moment, he thought of fighting back, but his body had already changed. Slowed down, unable to do anything, more arms took the life out of him, turning him into a corpse.

puff!
The corpse stared and fell into the mud.

The undead got their lives, and they took away the souls of the mercenaries, but how could only one life be enough for them to share, and how could it fill their hungry souls?
"what!!!"

The gang undead screamed one after another, turned around and floated out of the long alley, looking for more living creatures, they wanted more life!
But at this moment, a ray of moonlight fell, splitting the body of an undead from top to bottom.

The mud splashed under the feet, slapped on the face of the corpse, and splashed on the eyeball, but the eye could no longer be closed, and the muddy water slowly slid down, falling to the ground like tears.

Zhong Ye sighed softly, helped the corpse close its eyes, and pulled out the long sword carried by the corpse with his backhand.

The knives and swords exuded silver-gray light under the moonlight, and the scriptures integrated into the weapons were faintly visible.

At this moment, the undead were both joyful and fearful.

New creatures appeared, but in his hand he held a weapon that frightened them.

They longed for and resented life, but the weapon in Zhong Ye's hand made them hesitate.

A strong wind blew in the long alley, and the sharp wind shredded all the spirit bodies along the way.

——Before the undead stretched out their sharp claws to Zhong Ye, Zhong Ye took a step forward and waved the sword in his hand, like a gust of wind swept through the long alley, chopping up all the undead souls like chopping melons and vegetables.

Under the moonlight, the long alley was clean, and there was not even a trace of undead left.

Zhong Ye didn't stop. Before he arrived, some undead left the long alley, and now he was going to hunt them down.

Let go of perception and silently sense the flow of energy in the surrounding environment.

After a while, the perception ability responded to Zhong Ye's will, presenting the flow direction in his mind.

[——Unlock Skill: Energy Sensing]

Just in time, an undead rose from the ground in front of him, Zhong Ye passed by it, and split it in half.

Not far away, about two or three streets away, mercenaries gathered, and what they faced was a deformed and twisted monster.

"Giggle!"

A gigantic baby made of countless deformed limbs sat on the ground, its fat and tender arms were patted, the mercenaries hurriedly dispersed, the ground cracked open, and mud and rocks were splashed.

This is why the mercenaries panic, this monster already has the ability to affect matter!
The one eye made up of many eyes saw a few mercenaries hiding under the eaves, and the giant baby reached out to lift the roof of that house.

An obese man raised his head in astonishment, and looked at the giant baby.

Looking at him, resentment suddenly surged into his heart from nowhere, the giant baby who had never tasted this kind of emotion couldn't bear it at all, and directly grabbed the fat man.

"what--"

The obese man screamed in shock, feces and urine poured out immediately, watching the giant baby open its mouth, getting closer and closer to the dark and deep throat, the screaming stopped abruptly, and he passed out.

Click!Kara!
The toothless giant baby chewed, and patted the house uninterestedly. The house roared and shook, and the screams of several women suddenly sounded.

Before the house collapsed, several scantily clad women ran out from the front door and the backyard respectively. The woman who ran out from the front door couldn't help screaming after seeing the giant baby, turned around and ran wildly.

"mama?"

The giant baby looked down in doubt, and countless crisp or hoarse voices mixed and overlapped in their throats, asking questions.

After the screams of those women sounded, the next few houses became quieter.

The giant baby's voice echoed in the street, and the mercenaries hid in the dark, looking at it in horror, praying in their hearts, hoping that the giant baby would not find them.

In fact, after seeing the figures of those women, the giant baby forgot about the mercenaries, saw them running away, crawled down, and crawled over.

"Mama! Mama!" the giant baby shouted.

But the few women in front did not look back, even if they were out of breath, even if their lungs were already hurting like fire, they did not dare to turn back or stop.

Only they themselves know why the monster appeared, so they dare not stop or face it.

The giant baby's call became more and more urgent, and the residents who were lying behind the window and observing the street through the gap found that the expression on its face became more and more ferocious.

Suddenly, a woman fell down.

She got up in a panic, but her ankle was in pain.

Looking up, her companion's back was getting farther and farther away. She stretched out her hand in despair and cried, "No! Help me! Help me!"

The companion did not respond to her, and at this moment, she also heard the movement behind her disappear.

"mama?"

The woman trembled, turned her stiff neck, and looked back, a huge bewildered face came into view, occupying all vision.

The giant baby slowly turned its head, looked left and right, countless eyes blinked in its eye sockets, and the broken soul behind the eyes carefully observed the woman in front of it.

The corner of the woman's mouth twitched, and she managed to put on an ugly smile. Tears came out of her eyes involuntarily, and she said tremblingly, "Yes, yes... good boy, I, I am your mother, so, so don't, don't hurt your mother, okay?"

Countless eyes stopped blinking at the same time, staring at this woman.

Admiration, attachment, fear, loathing, loathing, loathing, resentment, resentment, resentment, resentment...

The giant baby sat on the ground and howled, and suddenly swung its arms and beat it down.

The screams broke out at the right time and lasted for a long time, echoing on the streets, causing fear in many people.
