Chapter 326 Ye Mengyi
"So what do we do now?" asked another follower of the woman in black stockings.
"We'll have to go to the next village. If the next village is the same, then we'll have to think of another way," the woman in black stockings said, frowning.
Jiang Han, Mo Fan, and Liu Ru had no objection to the black-stockinged beauty's request to go to the next village. They were there to search for Zhang Xiaohou, and if they couldn't find him in this village, they would go to the next one. As long as there was hope, they would not give up.
After everyone had discussed it, the short man called to the strong man in the distance, "Let's go, let's go. You won't find anything here. If you didn't find their bodies, it means they may have migrated away. Don't be so pessimistic."
After calming himself down, the burly man and the short man continued to lead the group to the next dangerous village, Hua Village.
On the way to Huacun, the short man raised a serious problem: the gray garlic they brought might not last until they reached Huacun. Originally, the short man suggested turning back, but Jiang Han and the black-stockinged beauty suggested charging ahead.
After realizing that Jiang Han was a master demon hunter, the short man agreed, saying that if anything went wrong, there would be two master demon hunters to protect him.
Following the suggestion of the woman in black stockings, everyone should refrain from using the gray garlic for the rest of the night, and only use it when the number of undead becomes too large to handle. Jiang Han agreed unconditionally; since he didn't eat it, why would he disagree?
Because they hadn't eaten the gray garlic, after leaving Yangyang Village for about three or four miles, everyone could clearly feel that the gazes of the undead around them were somewhat unfriendly. Fortunately, there weren't many of them, and they were all rotting corpses of the servant level.
"They're here," the short man warned.
The first to attack the group was a rotting corpse that was only grinding its teeth with a rock. Perhaps because the smell of the black-stockinged beauty was too pleasant, the rotting corpse turned its head and looked at the black-stockinged beauty who was closer by with its eyes that were burning with green soul fire.
The woman in black stockings showed no emotion as she watched the rotting corpse approaching her, as if she hadn't even seen it.
"Ice Lock - Bone Crusher!!"
In an instant, an ice-themed star map appeared beneath the feet of the bearded man behind the woman in black stockings. He then raised his hand and swung it at the corpse that was trying to attack the woman in black stockings. In a flash, an ice crystal chain appeared out of thin air and bound the corpse tightly.
Then the bearded man clenched his right hand, and the ice crystal chains tightened instantly. The sound of bones being crushed came from inside the rotting corpse. Within a few breaths, the corpse turned into frozen soft flesh and stopped moving completely.
"Ali, don't waste your magic energy on this," the woman in black stockings whispered.
"Yes." Then the man named Ali gave the woman in black stockings a strange bow apologetically.
The short man, who had long since realized that the woman in black stockings was no ordinary person, asked with a smile, "By the way, we've been walking together for so long, and we still don't know how to address you all."
"Ye Meng'e, Ye as in leaf, Meng as in dream, and E as in graceful figure. You can call me Meng'e," said the woman in black stockings.
"Is this a Chinese name you temporarily chose?" Mo Fan asked with a smile upon hearing the name.
The woman in black stockings didn't answer his question, but instead said calmly, "Is there something wrong with this name?"
"The 'e' in 'graceful' or 'dreamlike' is rarely used in Chinese names. You should choose a name that reflects your mastery of both Chinese and Western cultures, like Eliza Cuihua," Mo Fan said, spouting nonsense with a straight face.
Mo Fan's words almost made the short man, the strong man, and Liu Ru burst out laughing, while Jiang Han fell into deep thought because of the name of the black-stockinged beauty, constantly muttering the name Ye Meng'e. Suddenly, he remembered the origin of the name.
"So it's you, my Holy Maiden," Jiang Han said with a smile.
"The Holy Maiden?" Liu Ru, sitting atop the skeletal lizard demon, asked in confusion.
Jiang Han looked at the black-stockinged beauty not far away with great interest and said, "Hmm, she's a saintess from some powerful foreign organization. Her background is quite extraordinary."
Jiang Han and Liu Ru spoke in hushed tones, so Mo Fan and the others didn't hear them. They chatted as they walked, and during this time, Asha's attendant, Ali, tentatively asked if he could also call her Ye Meng'e, but he was so frightened by Asha's cold gaze that he shut his mouth.
Along the way, it was mostly the dwarf man, Asha'ruya, and her two attendants who dealt with the undead, with Mo Fan occasionally lending a hand. As for Jiang Han and Liu Ru, they remained seated on the white bone lizard demon, and no undead creature attacked them.
However, everyone was quite lucky and didn't stumble upon any undead graves. They didn't encounter any particularly powerful undead creatures until the early hours of the morning, which saved them a lot of gold.
"It'll be dawn in less than an hour. What a tiring night," the short man said, stretching.
"I thought the undead of the ancient capital would be some kind of powerful force? Aren't they just a bunch of brainless, stupid corpses?" the bearded follower Ali said with a laugh.
"Brother, you mustn't say that. The Land of the Dead is very eerie; you can't just say things like that," the burly man said.
Suddenly, Jiang Han seemed to sense something and said calmly, "Mo Fan, prepare for battle. Something big is coming."
"A big guy? What big guy?" Mo Fan was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized what he meant and said uncertainly, "Damn, Jiang Han, you're not talking about...?"
"Snap!"
Suddenly, a pale white lightning bolt ripped through the thick, dark clouds in the sky, illuminating the oppressive black canopy of the sky and the endless black earth, making one feel as if they had stepped into an incredibly dark box.
The air suddenly became heavy and oppressive. As thunder rumbled in the dark clouds, large raindrops fell from the black clouds, hitting the ground heavily and splashing up small mud balls!
The sudden clap of lightning startled Mo Fan, Ali, and the burly man, while the short man cursed angrily, "Damn it, it's raining!"
Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock...
The rain intensified, and white lightning flashed across the dark clouds. Soon, the rainwater washed away the soft ground, making it muddy and slippery. Before long, a patch of blood-red light came into view.
Blood flowed past my feet, a truly horrifying sight, especially since the dense rain made it impossible to see anything ahead.
"Hurry up, the rain will wash away the garlic-like fumes you're exhaling!" the burly man shouted anxiously.
"So, gray garlic can't be used on rainy days?" Mo Fan asked.
"Yes," the muscular man said.
