"They didn't expect that their team would lose so quickly, not only because of the very strong strength of the three and a half dead, but also because after them, seven or eight people from various professions appeared outside the temple, as if they were following the three undead." Catherine looked at the memories left by her grandfather in her consciousness and said in a daze: "Those newcomers are legendary professions, and they joined the battle as soon as they appeared, which randomly completely changed the fragile balance formed in the battle."

"Those should be corpse ghouls, but there are seven or eight at this time? The number is really exaggerated." Panis curled his lips and said, "It seems that according to their wishes and under the unknown premise, it has secretly affected many legendary professions who are on the verge of death. They have chosen corpse ghouls to maintain their lives after natural death. Unfortunately, those who are tempted will not know that if they become corpse ghouls, they will no longer be able to escape from the control of the half-dead. However, since they are willing to accept it, they must be impossible to think about turning back."

"It should be a corpse ghoul. Grandfather and the others had never contacted corpse ghouls at that time, so they could not be sure." Catherine thought about it, and finally shook her head and skipped the unsure problem: "After the corpse ghouls joined, they quickly showed a trend of defeat. He and President Ship found that the situation became very unfavorable, so they simply maintained the battle formation and began to retreat slowly. They believed that the number of rangers in the team was relatively suitable for guerrilla combat in the dense forest. The two demigods could temporarily hold up the three and half dead people. Then the rangers used the forest terrain as a cover and found ways to eliminate the legendary enemies as much as possible, that is, the corpse ghouls we guessed."

"Then they'll be in big trouble." Panis shook his head and said, "Compared with a bunch of dead objects, the top predators in the forest obviously prefer living prey, at least they taste a little more delicious."

"Hey, can't you really find a better word?" Lina threatened and said, "Don't use such terrifying words to describe intelligent creatures."

"But he said nothing wrong." Dilitepanis confirmed: "In fact, it's not just a monster, but also a smart creature. Except for some exceptions, the more the upper predator is, the more he likes the fresh corpses that have just been hunted. If there is no choice, who would choose those foods that have died for several days, are soft and rotten, and have a foul smell."

"But, the corpse ghouls we have seen are not full of rottenness." Lina retorted: "It is not soft and rotten, either. They seem to retain the muscle elasticity they had during their lifetime."

"However, the newness of the monsters depends not only on vision and smell." Panis shook his head and said, "Their perception is much sharper than that of intelligent creatures. They can clearly find the breath of death on the corpses. In their eyes, these are corpses that have died for many days, just the difference between moving and not moving."

"Okay, maybe what you said makes sense." Lina opened her mouth but couldn't refute it. She could only insert her waist unreasonably and said, "That's not allowed to be described in such a terrifying word, which makes people feel chilled all over when they hear it."

"You guys, stop making trouble." Catherine stared at a few teammates who couldn't grasp the key points and argued over a bunch of trivial matters, and said viciously: "Do you still know what's going on?"

"We were wrong." Lina imitated Panis' usual appearance. She lowered her head with Panis and said neatly: "Please forgive us, Lord Knight."

"Hmph." The knight girl wrinkled her nose and snorted with satisfaction, then continued: "After they retreated into the depths of the dense forest, they discovered this problem soon. The surrounding monsters would hardly choose their enemies as their targets, but instead launched an attack on them unanimously, causing the already very dangerous defense line to collapse at any time. Grandfather and President Ship discovered that they had made another mistake and knew that they could no longer recover the defeat. They could only issue orders to retreat with all their might and return to the stronghold, which is here, and rely on the stronghold to defend."

"Wait. I have a question." Panis interrupted the girl's narration: "Does their resistance to the forbidden area still take effect during this period of time? Although I don't know what method the necromancer uses to allow them to move in the forbidden area of ​​life, it must be a method similar to Fira, but the medium is not a potion but a spell. The problem is that if it is a spell, after the caster dies, he cannot use new spells to cover it regularly, and the spell effect will probably become invalid soon."

"Well, it was still effective at the beginning." Catherine sighed and said, "They successfully passed through the forest area of ​​more than 30 kilometers. According to my grandfather's understanding, because they were too close to the forbidden area of ​​life, there were actually not many monsters here, so the process of traveling was quite smooth. During their retreat, the three and a half dead and the corpse ghosts they led were chasing behind them, and they had no intention of letting them go. It seemed that they had to be killed to be satisfied."

"To silence." Panis and Deely looked at each other and nodded, "It seems that their power was still very weak at that time. They had to kill people to silence them to ensure their secrets. Unlike now, they wouldn't worry much even if they were discovered by someone."

"Of course, they weren't ready at that time, of course they were scared." Deely sneered: "The last time they were full of confidence, but you rushed into the house with a large group of demigods and almost killed them. If they were not careful this time, if they triggered a similar raid again, they would be as stupid as idiots."

"The retreat operation began smoothly. Although the opponent was chasing behind him, the offensive was not too fierce. However, when they were halfway from the stronghold, their defense against the soul impact failed." Catherine said regretfully: "Faced with this situation, everyone knows that they will never have the chance to return to the capital again, so they made a difficult decision in despair."

"Divide the troops." Panis nodded, touching his chin, "This is the most correct decision. Most people dragged the enemy and then let one person escape and conveyed the information to the outside world. A very brave decision, both for those who stayed and those who escaped to report the news. Unfortunately, the escaped person seemed to have failed. Although he finally left the jungle alive, the task of conveying the information was not completed until decades later." (~^~)
