Never Thought You'd Be This Kind of Hero!
Chapter 96
Old Haney was buried under a big tree, along with some old belongings of his master, Rend.
Xu Jun, Cole, Irene and the others gathered in a circle and dismissed the maids and the old butler, saying that they wanted to play in the garden.
Although the mayor's mansion wasn't big, there was a small forest in the garden. Cole and Irene liked to take their friends there for picnics, and it was quite interesting.
Therefore, it was very convenient to clear the area, and no one would have any other ideas.
Only a few maids were playing together and peeking at Xu Jun and Jess. One of the maids had her eyes fixed on Rance. In her eyes, he was a very handsome and beautiful young man.
The old butler frowned. "Young people nowadays only know how to look at faces. Alas, young people nowadays."
Noon passed, and the sky was overcast in the afternoon. The dark clouds almost reached the top of the castle, and the wind whistled out of the small forest, as if a banshee was laughing inside. It made people's hearts tremble.
Irene and Cole didn't think that anything would happen to Old Haney's grave. If someone really came to dig up the grave, how could they be completely unaware?
Moreover, the undead and the demons were clearly together, and they were now in the Dark Abyss. Why would they suddenly come to Mengdama City?
Xu Jun's hands were very fast. He put Old Haney's tombstone aside, then took out a silver dagger and quickly dug up the small grave.
Cole asked in a low voice why he didn't use a wider steel sword, and his sister whispered, "Silver can ward off evil."
Old Haney was buried by Irene and Cole. They were young and inexperienced, so they only buried Old Haney lightly.
However, Xu Jun dug up a small hole, but didn't even see a strand of dog hair. There was a slightly rancid smell in the air, and it was different from normal rotten meat. It seemed to have a choking smell of sulfur.
When the small grave was completely dug up, the group was stunned.
Along with the sky being covered by dark clouds, the sun also completely dimmed. It was clearly afternoon, but it was as gloomy as midnight.
Old Dog Hani's grave didn't even have dog bones, let alone a dog. The bones had long been mixed with the surrounding soil. The rotting fur of the beasts had been torn into strips, but there weren't many of them. There wasn't even half a dog in total.
Xu Jun used his silver dagger to poke at the soil twice, and found that the soil had turned into soft lumps, from which yellow water flowed out.
Cole exclaimed, "… This is Old Haney's fur!"
"This is the pus from the evil spirit's body, that's right."
After Xu Jun finished speaking, he poked at the broken fur. It turned out that there were also many pustules on the dog's fur.
Because Irene was a priest, she had seen the models of evil spirits before, but those models were all placed in antiseptic, so they were not scary.
Unlike now …
Irene and Cole covered their mouths as if they were about to vomit.
Ska was a little better than them. After all, she had gone out to do missions and killed gnolls, but her face was also pale.
Rance, the child, didn't know what was good for him. Seeing Xu Jun examining Old Haney's "body," he thought it was quite fun, and also picked up a small branch to poke at it.
"So meat becomes so smelly after burying it!"
The young frost dragon looked disgusted. "I was wrong. In the future, even if I can't finish it, I won't bury it all."
He didn't expect such a small child to be so environmentally conscious.
But after he said that, these smelly pustules were even more disgusting.
A gust of wind blew, and cold sweat broke out on their backs. Only then did they realize that the sky was completely dark.
Before Xu Jun could react, Jess once again used his unicorn's specialty. "The smell of dark elements is very strong."
After saying that, he took a deep breath, as if he was quite intoxicated.
— — I don't know what kind of temper this unicorn guy has.
Xu Jun raised his head again, and a bean-sized raindrop hit his eyes. It was cold.
The dark elements were so strong that even Xu Jun could sense their existence, hidden in this rain.
The raindrops fell on Old Haney's remaining fur and immediately merged into it. The pustules bulged and slowly became transparent. With a poof, they burst, but no juice flowed out. Instead, a film formed on the surface of the fur. This was very similar to the "skin" on many wraiths.
Xu Jun's face suddenly became ashen.
From the moment he entered Mundama City until now, there had been endless questions about the Black Plague and dark elements. Although there had been many episodes in the middle, all the clues pointed to one person: Bishop Carloman.
He was the one who bought all the snow orchids, and he was the one who killed the undead Marlowe. And … if Xu Jun's guess was correct, the medicine that the bishop distributed was probably a kind of catalyst.
He was waiting for rain.
A completely dark rain that could drench the entire Mundama City.
In the next second, he quickly issued a few orders. "Jess, take Rance to the cemetery outside the city. It's about two kilometers west of the south gate of Mundama City. It's surrounded by wilderness. It's quite conspicuous. When we entered the city, we could see it from afar."
"Ska, take Cole and Irene with you. Gauss and Mike are still in the city, right?"
Ska nodded in a daze. Xu Jun thought for a moment. "Go find them. Gather all the fighting forces in the house. Every three people — no, every five people — patrol the streets. If you find anyone who has turned into an undead, kill them immediately. Protect yourselves.
First, go to the herb store and prepare the medicine. Everyone bring a stalk of hemostasis grass and a stalk of tranquility flower. If anyone is attacked by an undead, chew the tranquility flower and press it on the wound. Irene, you'll have to work harder. Stay in the rear and treat the wounded.
Remember, don't let the civilians run around. Go indoors and try not to get caught in the rain. "
"Steamed Bun has something to do too. Steamed Bun, you have to stay in the castle with the old butler and servants. Don't go out no matter what happens. Got it?"
Steamed Bun responded with a hum.
Although the undead were scary, it also depended on the potential of the raw materials.
The human world was not hell. Although living things could turn into undead, they were inherently weaker due to the external environment.
Ordinary people and beasts could only turn into ordinary evil spirits. They could scare the civilians, but their lethality was limited in front of fully armed combatants.
The premise was that these combatants were all veterans who had seen a lot and wouldn't be scared when they saw the undead.
Jess still looked relaxed. She pulled little Rance and said that she would take him to the mass grave to play.
Rance asked what a mass grave was.
Jess drawled, "It's a place where — ghosts — are — haunted ~"
It contrasted very well with the current environment. It was eerie and strange. Rance was young and didn't know how to be afraid. He asked blankly, "Can ghosts be eaten?"
Xu Jun almost laughed out loud.
Compared to them, Ska, Cole, Irene and the others couldn't even compare to Steamed Bun. Although Steamed Bun was a herbivorous magical beast, he had seen a lot in his travels with Xu Jun over the years. He wasn't afraid of the undead. Xu Jun had even challenged the Demon King before. Steamed Bun had never been afraid of the undead.
He was a Moonlight Foal who had seen what the Dark Demon King Roschinke looked like with his own eyes!!!
Although he had only seen the Demon King's huge figure at that time, it seemed to be connected to the sky and the earth and dyed the world black.
Compared to that earth-shattering pressure, what was the current Dark Elemental Rain?
Irene, Cole, and Ska were on the verge of collapsing. Xu Jun couldn't stand it anymore. He took out a crystal tube from his backpack and wrapped all the mud and fur mucus in Hani's "grave". It wasn't much, just the top layer.
Such a filthy thing … he actually cleaned it up just like that. When Skar recovered from his shock, he looked at Xu Jun again and felt a surge of excitement in his heart. This is a real adventurer!
Senior Xu Jun was a real warrior!
So when Xu Jun looked at him again, Ska's brain was so excited that he couldn't control himself. "Senior Xu Jun!
Is something big going to happen in the city?! "
Xu Jun thought to himself, You only reacted now. What's with your overly excited appearance?
The old fox adventurer Xu Jun couldn't understand the young Ska's desire to cause trouble. He only twitched the corner of his mouth. "It's not a good thing. Calm down."
Ska hurriedly put on a calm appearance and protected Irene behind him. "Yes, yes, I understand. Senior Xu Jun, I'm going to charge and break through the enemy lines. Irene doesn't need to go, right?"
This kid was so excited that he picked up the word "senior" and even wanted to charge and break through the enemy lines … Xu Jun looked at him as if he was an idiot. "If Irene doesn't go, then why don't you invite a priest?"
You need a healer to fight a dungeon.
Irene's face immediately turned red. But looking at the low-level priest badge on her chest, her eyes quietly lit up.
After explaining everything clearly, Xu Jun also had things to do.
He went to the church.
Generally, there would be two cemeteries in a human city. Civilians would be buried in the cemetery outside the city, and people with status would be buried in the church.
People with status here didn't only refer to nobles, but also to rich merchants, some middle-level fighters, and anyone with strength, power, or money. This was also very easy to explain, because only such people could donate a lot of money to the Illuminati to show how much they believed in the God of Light.
In the end, money was used to buy a cemetery. Although people in this world would also complain about the church, when they were about to die, they would always want to go to heaven.
Therefore, those buried in the church … except for a few fat nobles and rich merchants, most of the people buried in the church were quite strong when they were alive.
In the rainstorm, the church shed its former dignity and solemnity. Instead, it looked gloomy and gloomy. The door was not closed, and the inside was dark and swarthy.
Looking up through the willow leaf window, there was not a single light lit.
He walked in carefully.
There seemed to be no one in the hall. Xu Jun maintained a sneaky posture. After just two steps, he lost his footing and fell directly.
Then … he seemed to have stepped on something soft.
The author has something to say: Steamed Bun: Humph, I'm someone who has seen the Demon King!
Roschinke: … You'll see me every day in the future, don't worry.
Hey, I suddenly realized that I'm so close to the 100th chapter!!!
I don't know how many chapters I'll write in the end. _ (: 3,∠) _
I didn't expect you to be such a brave person!
