Chapter 627: 607
The blood spurted out from the humans being bitten in half by sharp teeth, forming a slippery patch on the surface of the stone road, and leaving large and messy footprints.
The people in the camp formed a circle, leaving a large area in the center empty.
Wearing silver armor that seemed to come from the last century, Whitley walked into the open space, facing the gazes of the crowd.
"Uh…uh…"
A disheveled middle-aged man lay in the muddy blood. His face was as pale as a corpse, his cheeks were sunken, his hands were on the ground, and his whole body was shaking.
Hearing footsteps, he looked up at the person coming, and a layer of turbid shadow was gradually covering his eyes.
"Gala—Gala—"
His fingers spasmed subconsciously, and pieces of hard nails gradually appeared on the skin of his hands. The part where the original fingernails connected to the flesh was rotting rapidly, forming dense sunken holes.
The new, longer and sharper claws are slowly extending along the direction of the growth of the hard shell.
"Knight, kill, kill me..." An unclear voice came out from his throat. You can clearly see the festering holes on his neck, and even the vibration of his vocal cords can be vaguely seen.
When the black dust accumulates to a certain level in a living organism, it will erupt like an epidemic. The organism will quickly rot and die in a short period of time, and then be completely reborn and turn into a zombie or a corpse.
This process is called "necrosis".
Generally speaking, by using purification devices issued by the church, people can suppress the accumulation of black dust as much as possible.
However, once one comes into close contact with a high-concentration black dust carrier, such as a zombie ranked No. 80, the black dust in the zombie's body may react with the black dust in the human body, causing a large amount of black dust to be inhaled by the human body in a short period of time, reaching a critical point.
Like a lit barrel of explosives, it exploded with a loud bang.
And if we really allow this person to turn into a zombie, then the situation will be out of control.
More people may be infected by him.
At this time, it's time for the White Knight to appear again.
The Silver Knights of the [Church] possess skills blessed by the Church that can prevent, purify and destroy black dust.
——Then Whitley raised his heavy sword high towards his companions.
"Puff."
The tip of the sword fell, tearing through the flesh and blood like a hot knife through butter, and pierced through the chest of the man on the ground.
The rapidly beating heart stopped.
"call--"
Then a layer of flame burst out from the place where the heavy sword penetrated!
A layer of bright white light quickly enveloped the human body on the ground, and it could be vaguely seen that the originally twitching figure gradually stopped moving.
When Whitley pulled out the sword, the white light on the ground dissipated, and the corpses of the zombies turned into gray dust layer by layer, scattered on the ground, and mixed with the blood into a sticky mass.
The snow dust bugs gathered together at the feet of the young man who was watching from the outside of the crowd, watching the scene curiously and rubbing their fur against each other to communicate.
——Suddenly, the silver-white knight stood up, turned his head, and looked directly at the group of inconspicuous insects in the shadow!
The bodies of the snow dust insects froze, and the next moment, another hand reached out to them.
"Chichichi!"
With a very slight cry, they instantly scattered, turned into a small puff of blown snow, flew into the air, and avoided the hand.
"It's snowing…?" The boy then noticed something around him and looked up at the sky in confusion.
"It's not snow." A female voice answered him.
The movement of the crowd created a wave of wind, and the snow dust worms took advantage of the wind to flee far away, but were stopped by a ray of white light emitted by the white knight's sword.
"Chiji!" After discovering that the road ahead was different, the snow dust bugs communicated with each other, then turned to face the woman who appeared in front of them, raised the fluff on their backs, and made a threatening gesture.
——Even though no one present could see, let alone understand, this small threat.
Standing in front of them was the woman who had just participated in the battle. After coming out of the ruins of the collapsed house, the woman looked unharmed.
She pushed back the strands of hair that were hanging in front of her eyes, glanced at the round-headed snow bug, then turned in another direction and said:
"Witley, narrow the range and catch these little guys."
"yes."
With a "bang", Witley inserted the heavy sword between the stone slabs, and an invisible air wave spread out with him as the center. The white light that originally blocked the way of the snow dust worms quickly began to shrink!
"clatter."
At this moment, light footsteps were heard from the roof.
Before everyone could react, a white shadow flashed through the low sky like a ghost and instantly leaped past the woman!
When the figure left, the snow dust worms that were originally trapped in the original place disappeared.
The woman was one of the few people present who could see the figure's movement path clearly, but she did not stop it. Instead, she cast her eyes with interest at the white figure that jumped back onto the roof.
The crowd also looked over, and then retreated with low cries.
The young man couldn't help but say in the crowd: "Didn't he follow me here..."
"What's coming?" The woman looked at him and asked.
"Come here...uh..." The boy's heart tightened as he was stared at by her gray-blue eyes, and he spoke a little stutteringly.
"——We met it in the territory of Ice Plague. It may have followed us all the way to the base." The uncle took over the boy's words, walked out of the crowd, looked directly into the woman's eyes and said in a deep voice.
"Isn't that a corpse beast?!"
"How could you bring corpse beasts into the base?!"

When the crowd heard this, they immediately raised many nervous accusations.
The uncle lowered his head and said simply: "It's my fault. I didn't notice it following me."
"Don't be too quick to put the blame on yourself. This little guy has a great ability to hide." At this time, the woman finally spoke again.
The uncle looked up in astonishment: "Chief..."
The woman smiled slightly, looked at the fur ball on the rooftop that was looking down at everyone, and said:
"I didn't sense the black dust it was emitting, so it was difficult to locate... Of course, it wouldn't cause the concentration of black dust in the base to increase."
"A corpse beast that doesn't emit black dust?" The young man opened his mouth wide when he heard this. "Is there such a corpse beast?"
"I've never seen it before." The woman narrowed her eyes slightly and looked into the coral-red eyes of the white corpse beast on the roof.
Even as she said this, she recalled the research materials she had seen in the church before she was [expelled] from the church.
It was actually first discovered by the scholars of the Sacred Seekers Association.
The existing corpse beasts in the world have shown signs of giving birth to the next generation.
The second generation of corpse beasts bred have a higher concentration of black dust but emit less black dust than the first generation of corpse beasts born from biological corpses.
In addition, the several second-generation individuals that can be confirmed at present are more talented than the "mother" who gave birth to them.
The monsters have begun to multiply, which is not a good sign...
If she remembered correctly, the corpse beast codenamed "Ice Plague" also had an appendage similar to a parasitic or symbiotic creature.
Could this little corpse beast in front of me be the descendant of the Ice Plague?
As she was thinking, she waved her hand lightly, and Witley behind her immediately drew out his heavy sword, canceled the white light barrier that could not stop the fast corpse beast, and took a step forward -
As if seeing his intention, the white figure on the roof also leaped forward.
The blade split the sunlight and swept through the air, slicing off only a few strands of snow-white hair.
The figure brushed past the sword's edge, aiming directly at the zombie corpse that was split in two!
"Chichi!" Amid the cheering voices of the snow dust bugs, You Huan jumped onto the corpse which was much larger than himself.
A snow dust worm hung on the tip of the hair, eager to attack the corpse below which was still bleeding dark red blood.
He felt a little helpless.
The snow dust worms that have formed a certain scale can guide the wind and snow for him, which can play a huge role. They can also be used for reconnaissance on a regular basis, and can even carry some heavy objects when they are large enough.
But these lively little creatures are still very weak and need his careful care.
He only has 43 immature snow dust worms, which are not yet ready to reproduce.
If any one dies at this time, a part of the future insect swarm will be killed.
He shook his long hair, then poked out his sharp and huge front claws from the hair that was too long and covered most of the details of his body, ready to cut off the zombie's meat and taste the local delicacy.
The strong wind blew the long hair on his back, and a heavy sword was hanging behind him. (End of this chapter)
