Idle game leads to another world.

Chapter 400 Watchdog

Underground, it was dark, cold and narrow, and a skeleton appeared.

It does look like a scene from a horror movie, but Yang Yiyi is actually not afraid of corpses. She is more afraid of the shocking feeling of seeing them suddenly appear in her field of vision when the lights are turned on.

Not to mention a pile of bones, even if it was a living person, it would be scary.

When she found out that it was indeed a completely white skeleton, Yang Yiyi calmed down. She patted her chest and said:

"I was so scared, I thought it was a monster."

"In a sense, it can be considered a kind of monster."

"...?"

Yang Yiyi didn't understand what Li Chengxi meant, but she immediately saw that the white skeleton leaning against the wall of the cave moved as if twitching.

In an instant, Yang Yiyi felt all the hairs on her body stand up, and a tingling feeling on her scalp enveloped her whole body.

Then, she saw the pale undead fire suddenly ignite in the dark eye sockets of the skeleton's skull. It was obviously just a skeleton, but it slowly stood up by holding the wall of the cave, and its joints collided with a crisp sound, and walked towards Yang Yiyi step by step.

"Brother Li! That! That is!"

"Just a skeleton."

"Just?!"

"Congratulations, you have successfully seen the ghost you have been dreaming about."

"I'm not obsessed with it!"

Yang Yiyi was very excited when she told ghost stories to scare Zheng Yinping in the ruined Taoist temple. But when she really saw the skeleton stand up by itself, she was so scared that she could hardly move.

"This is the weakest of the moving bones. At best, it is just a bone that can move. You can smash it into pieces with one punch."

"That's a ghost! How can you kill it with just your fists?"

"It really is possible to kill with just a fist."

Since Li Chengxi had also encountered ghosts before, he later specifically asked Oldie about undead creatures.

According to Oldey, corporeal undead creatures like this are the easiest to deal with, and a farmer can take them down with a carrying pole or two.

This also explains why Yang Yiyi felt cold just now. It was the erosion of negative energy, not simply the low temperature. She would feel cold no matter how much she wore.

Seeing the moving bones getting closer, Yang Yiyi was so scared that she stepped back repeatedly and almost tripped.

"Listen to me, go up and give it a punch."

"Is it really possible?"

"When did I ever fool you?"

In the end, it was the long-standing trust that worked. Yang Yiyi plucked up her courage, leaped to the side of the moving bones, and punched the old bones in the neck.

This punch not only easily broke the skeleton's cervical vertebrae, but also knocked its skull flying and smashed it against the wall of the cave, breaking it into pieces.

The remaining parts moved immediately and scattered all over the ground with a crash.

"See, I told you it would be done."

The Boneless One is the weakest among the undead creatures and poses almost no threat. Even a child can kill it.

Yang Yiyi breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this, and quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe her hands, feeling that touching this thing would bring her some bad luck.

"Go forward a little, yes, to the stone slab that the skeleton was leaning against just now, what do you see?"

"There's nothing there, just stones."

"No trace at all? No ripples or anything like that?"

Yang Yiyi shook her head, indicating that she saw nothing.

This is strange. Li Chengxi initially thought that someone might have accidentally fallen into the cave, and then died here because of injuries and could not return, and eventually turned into a pile of bones.

But even if the body turns to bones and the flesh decays, it will not leave no trace. If you go to a museum and look at the clothes worn by the tomb owner in an ancient tomb, you will find that they are full of wavy marks, just like a large amount of coffee or cola spilled on the clothes.

Those are actually traces of pus, tissue fluid, blood and other things imprinted in the fibers after the flesh and blood have decayed.

If this person accidentally fell and died here, there would be some traces left behind the stone slab, instead of being completely empty.

Either it was a wild beast that ate the person completely except for the bones, and then put the bones back together and put them there, or...

Someone placed this skeleton here on purpose.

The conditions for the formation of undead creatures are actually quite harsh. In most cases, this is only possible underground. After all, sunlight is the eternal enemy of undead creatures. They will die as soon as the sun shines on them, so most people have never seen ghosts.

This cave is the most suitable condition for the formation of undead creatures, but that doesn't mean all caves will work. According to Oldey, negative energy must accumulate to a certain level before the corpses of living things can be transformed into undead creatures.

For example, when we found a cave underground in Leishan Mountain, there was also a skeleton in it, but it did not turn into an undead creature.

In short, this thing may be man-made.

Combined with the testimony of the villagers, the possibility that someone is causing trouble is becoming increasingly high.

While thinking about this, Li Chengxi saw a row of onomatopoeia bubbles pop up on the edge of the screen, which read "Kala Kala".

At the same time, Yang Yiyi hurriedly stood up and looked in that direction. Then, a large group of white skeletons crowded together and entered the range of the flashlight like a crowd of people.

"Brother Li!"

"Don't panic, it's just bones that move, just like before."

This number is abnormal no matter how you look at it, it must be man-made.

But then again, Yang Yiyi still had the guts to go up and hammer one or two skeletons, but there were so many skeletons crowded in her field of vision, almost filling up the entire passage. Just looking at them made her feel cold all over. Yang Yiyi really didn't dare to take action.

Li Chengxi said:

"These skeletons were probably used as guard dogs, mainly to scare away people who entered the cave."

Undead creatures have a characteristic, which is that they extremely hate the living. As long as the breath of a living person approaches, they will collectively wake up from hibernation and launch an attack.

And the sensitivity is very high. To be honest, it is really useful as a watchdog.

"Then what should we do!"

"I told you not to panic. I'll try to figure out a solution."

The jade sceptre jumped out of Yang Yiyi's arms and hovered in the air. Soon, a large purple light shot out from the jade sceptre.

In this blue-purple light, the shadows of the skeletons looked even more eerie and terrifying, but soon, the skeletons close to the light broke open one by one and fell to the ground.

When Yang Yiyi saw it, she felt relieved immediately.

"Brother Li, did you use magic?"

"It's just ultraviolet light."

She didn't delve into what ultraviolet light was, thinking it was some kind of magic, but in fact, Li Chengxi just picked up the purple light used for banknote inspection and shone it on the screen...

Since the undead are afraid of sunlight, but magic lights, emergency lights and even firelight are useless to them, it is very likely that they are actually afraid of ultraviolet rays.

By the way, how come this thing is like Kaz, an ultimate creature that will lift up its loincloth towards the sunset?

Yang Yiyi felt relieved for a few seconds before the purple light emitted by the jade scepter disappeared immediately, and then Li Chengxi said:

"The rest is up to you. Feel free to hit them with your steel mace."

"..."
