#152 - Chapter 152 Zombies
"Hurry, hurry, hurry!"
"You bunch of trash, charge faster for me!"
The moment the teleportation gate lit up, Blood Driver Hendrix roared.
His batch of demons immediately surged into the teleportation gate amidst his howls, heading towards another world.
The Blood Driver himself harbored no fear. Having long craved blood, he swiftly plunged into the abyssal teleportation gate, arriving with his army at the new world of [Raven's Roost].
He very faithfully fulfilled his duty.
Because, as per Wu Wei's plan, Hendrix, being the most suitable for assault, would be among the first troops to enter [Raven's Roost].
And upon entering, he would carve out a temporarily safe territory for Wu Wei's other demon armies.
However, the moment Blood Driver Hendrix truly arrived in the other world, he cursed.
"Damn it!"
"How can there be such a dense aura of death?"
"Did we kick the skeletons' back door or something?!"
As soon as he regained consciousness, Hendrix discovered that the almost tangible aura of death permeated everywhere in this world.
He had barely crossed the teleportation gate when he discovered several small undead creatures wandering around it.
And when these undead creatures discovered the demons, these living beings, they immediately swarmed towards them.
Even though Hendrix and his demons were several times stronger, they showed no fear.
They were merely desperately extinguishing the flames of life in the comfortable chill of death!
"Get lost! You damned skeletons!"
Hendrix, controlling his host, swung his sword, and the surrounding small undead creatures instantly turned into碎骨 (suì gǔ - bone fragments) all over the ground, deader than dead.
"Tch!"
A battle right from the start, and a victory at that.
Logically, Hendrix should be satisfied.
But in reality, this feeling of "winning" made him feel very uncomfortable, extremely uncomfortable.
He absolutely hated the existence of the undead!
Because he needed to drive blood, to drink blood.
And the blood flowing from the rotten flesh of these undead only made him feel nauseous.
Moreover...
Although demons and undead both belonged to the dark side, they didn't get along. They couldn't coexist harmoniously and even opposed each other.
There were many reasons for this.
Besides the fact that both needed the souls of mortals, the biggest reason was that they had very different ways of using souls.
Demons simply wanted to enslave souls, while the undead wanted to eat them, using these souls to become stronger.
Although both were extremely evil, their ways of being evil differed.
However, now was not the time to worry about these things.
Because Hendrix noticed something.
"Damn it, it's endless!"
Within minutes of arriving in this new world, Hendrix discovered that thousands of unknown undead creatures were gathering around his army.
Moreover, their speed was increasing.
Their numbers were also increasing.
Finally, after a few minutes, Hendrix saw clearly what these enemies looked like.
"It's...活尸 (huó shī - living corpses)!"
"So many!"
Countless pale-faced humanoid creatures came from all directions to Hendrix and his demons, launching the first attack.
Although, as before, the powerful Hendrix still cleaned up these living corpses with a few sword swings.
But Hendrix felt that the situation was even worse.
Because he himself knew what living corpses were and how they were created.
So he believed that his next battle would become extremely troublesome!
As a powerful demon hero, Hendrix could clearly feel it.
As the river of time flowed.
With each passing second, the aura of death in this world became more and more intense.
In such a situation, if a mortal with poor resistance, without the protection of the Gods of Order, might die at any time.
And after he died, his soul would not only be dragged directly into the River Styx.
But death was not the end.
Because even his body would not rest in peace!
Under the infusion of excessive death aura, the bodies of these mortals would directly turn into a kind of wild undead creature called [Living Corpse]!
And the living corpses produced in this way were very different from the zombies in those science fiction novels.
They would not die from a mere headshot, nor would they lose their combat power due to body rot.
Because they were simply [living corpses]!
Moreover, they were not quite the same as the basic unit of the undead—skeleton soldiers.
They did not have the fire of the soul surrounding their bodies, only a large amount of mottled death aura.
So many spells that could kill skeleton soldiers instantly were actually ineffective against them.
They were creatures far more dangerous than zombies and skeleton soldiers!
And once such creatures became a scale, even demons would have some difficulty dealing with them.
Not to mention, Hendrix already knew the true situation of this world from Wu Wei.
That's why he was so irritable.
As time passed, the original creatures of this world would increasingly become such living corpses.
And their number would be consistent with the number of creatures in this world.
So fearless of death and unafraid of harm, they would use their strength to tell the demons, to tell Hendrix.
To tell Wu Wei, who controlled them in the distance.
What is called a undead Scourge!
