Chapter 668: Humans are like zombies in a barren land

The sun shone on the earth as if it had been scorched by fire, and the surroundings were filled with a desolate atmosphere.

The earth was empty, without the slightest vitality, and even the trees that remained were only black branches like burnt branches, giving people a crushing feeling when touched.

The black branches were like forgotten people, standing still in this barren land, with several black figures wandering within, blocked by the forest shadow formed by the black branches.

Suddenly, a bright blue light flashed in the "forest" formed by the black branches, and a magic circle was automatically recorded in this barren land.

The surrounding shadows approached slowly, and they faintly heard whispers like spells.

"Show that..."

However, they were no longer afraid of death, facing this inexplicable magic circle that could carry "food", they began to slowly approach.

Suddenly, the magic circle burst into flames, and light surged, causing the shadows hidden beneath the black shadows to groan in pain, and at the same time, their figures were revealed.

They were all zombie-like creatures, their faces thin and almost twisted, dirt mixed with bloodstains wrapped around their bodies, and black, smelly and broken cloth covered the bones that were already full and thin, as if the next moment The body was not strange to die.

Accustomed to living in darkness, they strongly resist sudden bright light.

As they stepped back, they used their hands to cover their faces with difficulty and embarrassment, as if their filthy selves did not qualify to be exposed to this light.

After a few seconds, the intense light disappeared, and these figures returned to the dark shadow, which made them all silent, but their hands that covered their faces never left, as if they were afraid that the light would come again in the next moment.

The sound of steel entered the ears of this zombie-like shadow.

No, it wasn't steel, it was boots, boots they knew, worn by "noble" knights, the sound of steel boots being forged against the ground.

The shadows raised their hands and saw a figure appearing from the flaming magic circle.

It was a bright silver figure, and the silver-white armor and helmet wrapped around the man's entire body, looking extremely holy.

There were also dragon horn-like protrusions on his helmet, and his face couldn't be seen clearly because of his helmet, but this didn't prevent the shadows from killing those wearing armor.

The sound of boots dropping to the ground scares the shadows, and it is because of the people who wore these boots that they became who they are today.

But precisely because the other party was a member of this "perpetrator" cast a shadow filled with killing intent.

While they are afraid of newcomers, they also hate immigrants, they no longer care about death, and always begin to approach this sacred but also hateful figure.

Wu Ming in the armor opened the ruby eyes.

"It's a little uncomfortable."

Wu Ming had not seen the items on his helmet in a long time, because his armor and helmet had long been left behind in Camelot.

Whether it was the Noble Phantasm armor that was given to Gudako in American Singularity, or the ordinary armor that was condensed by magic and had only form without any practical effect, it was not the original armor.

After taking a deep breath, Wu Ming exhaled sharply.

"Smell of burning."

Wu Ming looked around, and it was not surprising when he found that the horizon in the distance was also burning like this.

Although Wu Ming had seen the scenery of the barren lands through his own authority in Great Root before, but under personal experience, his brows furrowed even more.

"What's with this world..." Wu Ming sighed.

His words included doubts about why this land became, and doubts about the black shadows around him that were filled with killing intent towards him and wanted to attack him.

After Wu Ming emerged from this Heroic Spirit Summoning Array, he felt killing intent all around him.

He maintained his spiritual power, and naturally saw the true face of the shadows around him filled with killing intent towards him.

They are humans, ordinary humans who have not died and have not been cursed, the reason why they turned into this zombie-like appearance, Wu Ming guessed that it was completely caused by hunger.

Hunger wiped out their human nature, leaving only a small amount of appetite, and even the will to survive was nearly wiped out.

Since they had given up fighting, they would die without complaining now.

For those who fear suicide, death is a relief to them.

This is undoubtedly a contradiction.

Wu Ming waved his hand, and a bright silver holy sword appeared from the golden ripples that opened up beside him.

Wu Ming grabbed it smoothly, pointed the tip of the sword down, and stabbed the ground with his magic power.

"Boomclick" A loud sound came, and the earth cracked small but deep.

In the end, this shadow fear that had not completely erased the will to survive was no longer there.

It wasn't difficult for that high-ranking knight to shatter the earth with a single blow, but few people could do such a small but deep underground crack like the knight in front of him.

They couldn't defeat knights like this, otherwise they wouldn't be what they are today.

Shadow had the intention to retreat, but Wu Ming did not allow it.

"Kacha" Wu Ming turned the Exsilver that was inserted into the ground gently.

Two cracks split apart from the smaller cracks that had already appeared, extending to both sides to form arcs.

In just an instant, the two cracks each extended half an arc, and finally overlapped to form a circle, and the black shadow happened to be inside this circle.

The frightened shadows turned around and wanted to run away, but as they moved, the ground within the circle formed by the cracks suddenly sank.

Obviously, Wu Ming had "emptied" the ground beneath him with magic power, anyone who moved would definitely cause the ground to sink.

The shadow was silent, and those who had been trapped here, facing the silver-white knight behind them, would definitely die.

"Hooho" The dark shadows roared in despair, but since they didn't speak for a long time, their roars sounded like the roars of beasts.

In the face of this zombie-like human, Wu Ming did not use his sword, but sighed and shook his head.

Immediately after, magic power was suddenly released.

*Boom* The magic power visible to the naked eye instantly shook the silently attacking black shadow.

The black shadows were thrown and lay on the ground, because of Wu Ming's intentional reason, the black shadows were not injured, they were just thrown into the air.

Seeing this shadow see the extension of him, Wu Ming felt despair and resentment.

If Wu Ming was their enemy, it would be understandable to have such a level of hatred, but he just came here, how could he be the enemy of these people?

In other words, these people considered Wu Ming as their "enemy", no, if these people had enemies, then they would never survive.

In other words, they see themselves as their persecutors.

Wu Ming frowned.

Then, Wu Ming saw this "human".

"Tell me the information, and I'll give you some food."

The shadows were stunned for a moment, and after being sluggish for a few seconds, they all nodded.
