Chapter 170: Greedy Zombies
On the edge of the murky pool, Tina and Christina rode on top of the giant dragon's head, nervously looking ahead.
Dolma led the manticore lion and followed behind Jia Zhengjin.
Perrin crouched by the waterhole, very carefully searching for any clues.
After a long time, she slowly spoke: "The zombie entered the waterhole from that side, and then fought some kind of creature in the water!"
"Can this also be seen?" Jia Zhengjin was a little incredulous.
"Look at those aquatic plants, they have to be crushed to become this shape. And the creature that crushed the past will not be very small!" Perrin said seriously, pointing to the crooked aquatic plants in the water, "The slope is very irregular, which means that this monster was churning at that time!"
"Perrine is amazing!" Tina couldn't help but compliment, "I really didn't know you had what it takes?"
Perrin nodded at her, and looked down expressionlessly, "There are no footprints here, but there is a strange dirt road. According to preliminary estimates, the monster in the beach is a kind of reptile!"
"Footless reptiles?" Jia Zhengjin looked puzzled, "Snake?"
"Snakes are one of them!" Perlin nodded, "There are no zombie footprints, and we can't find a zombie in the waterfront, which means that it has been swallowed by this creature!"
"It's been eaten, then you don't have to look for it, right?" said Dolma.
"No!" Jia Zhengjin frowned and shook his head, "Have you forgotten the huge corpse we saw earlier?"
"What do you mean, Lord Keane?"
"Obviously, although this zombie has been eaten, it can't digest it! And it won't die, and it may even eat the other party in turn!" Jia Zhengjin speculated.
"Is that possible?" said Tina, turning to Christina in confusion.
"I don't know very well!" after all, it was the first time to go out, and Christina had a serious lack of experience in this area. And her teacher never taught her about it.
"No matter what, we have to make sure that zombies can't endanger the safety of the city!" Jia Zhengjin said, "Perrin, can you find where that repod reptile went?"
"This is more obvious!" Perlin nodded and led the way, although there were no obvious traces in some places, and she could quickly find very hidden clues.
The group chased after each other for a while, and Perrin suddenly reached out and made a stop-action movement. Then she spun around where she was, crouched down to take a closer look, and then turned to the right and walked away.
Jia Zhengjin followed behind her, his spirit tense, for fear that some otherworldly creature would suddenly appear. Especially the kind of man-eating flower that looks normal on the outside, but can sneak up and eat people.
Fortunately, it was safe along the way, and I didn't encounter it for the time being.
"Look!" Turning, Perrin suddenly pointed ahead.
Jia Zhengjin looked up, and saw that there was a huge corpse of an otherworldly creature not far away, and the skeleton was really similar to a giant python. And next to this skeleton, there is also a pool of black and disgusting, stenching blood.
"Hmm!!" Tina and Christina, seeing such a scene for the first time, and the disgusting smell also made their faces change color. All of them looked like they wanted to vomit, so they quickly covered their mouths and turned their heads away from it.
Compared to them, Perrin was much calmer. However, she herself is expressionless: "There are footprints here, and the footprints seem to have grown in size. The preliminary speculation is that zombies can continue to grow in size by eating!"
"I remember!" said Christina, holding back her vomiting, "I have seen a similar description in the bishop's notes. There is a kind of undead creature called greedy zombies, and they are very different from ordinary zombies! Ordinary zombies will die completely when their heads are attacked, and greedy zombies will die even if they are attacked on the head, but as long as the foreign object is pulled out, they will be resurrected! And this kind of zombie can quickly recover itself by eating fresh flesh and blood, and can even evolve while eating! The stronger the creature, the faster the greedy zombie will evolve! The most powerful greedy zombie can even evolve into a nightmare messenger!"
"Nightmare Bringer?" Jia Zhengjin looked puzzled, "What is the Nightmare Bringer?"
"The Nightmare Bringer are the ultimate evolution of the Greedy Zombies, possessing a fairly high level of intelligence and the ability to think like normal humans. Moreover, he can feel the fear emanating from human beings, and through this emotion, forcibly change the dream of the target and manipulate it! According to the history books, there was once a great warrior in the Xiongfeng Empire, who was almost invincible in the world. But he was very unfortunate to meet the Nightmare Messenger, and as a result, he became a thoughtless puppet, following the Nightmare Messenger to wreak havoc in various countries and endanger the common people!" Christina said seriously, "Later, the countries united and sent the strongest people of the major churches to surround and suppress the Nightmare Messenger, and after sacrificing more than 300 priests and strong people, they finally succeeded!"
"So terrifying?" Jia Zhengjin was suddenly shocked, he really couldn't imagine that Alex, who he didn't care about at all, would turn into such a monster? I knew that no matter how sleepy and tired I was that night, I would burn his body first!
However, it was useless to regret it, so he hurriedly asked, "How long will it take for that greedy zombie to become a nightmare messenger?"
"It depends on how many creatures it devours, and how strong or weak it is!" Christina replied, "but it is said that the fastest Nightmare Messenger will take at least a year or two!"
"That means we have a chance to completely eliminate it before it is fully formed?" Jia Zhengjin breathed a sigh of relief.
"Theoretically, yes," Christina replied.
"Do you hear that, Pelin, we have to hurry," Jia Zhengjin hurriedly said, "You hurry up and help me find the zombies, we have to destroy them this morning!"
"Leave it to me!" Perrin nodded, then crouched down and began to examine the clues.
"Christina, are you sure it will take at least a year or two for a greedy zombie to become a nightmare messenger?" Jia Zhengjin was a little worried.
This is even more true in the bishop's notes. Christina replied, "Greedy zombies will eat constantly, and they will never stop. However, the early greedy zombies have no intelligence and will only follow their instincts to wander around. And if they get in their way, they'll attack with their mutated claws. It doesn't matter what's standing in their way!"
"Ah~ So it scratched the city wall that day!" Jia Zhengjin suddenly realized, "And along the way, there are a lot of trees and stones that are inexplicably broken." ”
