The last believer had already walked back with the blessing meal. According to the order, Xiao Zhi should get up at this time and go forward.

On the altar, Archbishop Gretta was looking at him with a gentle smile. The bishops and priests behind him were doing the same thing, and many believers around looked at Xiao Zhi.

At the meeting point of everyone's eyes, Xiao Zhi felt a little stressed. He quietly shifted his gaze and looked at Frost who was sitting next to him. After him, he would be him...

Frost gave Xiao Zhi a consoling look and motioned him to go up first, and then talk about it later if there was any change.

In the Nissi Region, time, space and events are fixed, and the people inside have limited response to intruders. They may not really notice that the undead are mixed in among the believers. If it is found, then it will be changed to a direct breakthrough Not in a hurry.

Xiao Zhi nodded, and walked forward with a smile, just like the previous believers.

The priests on the stage have prepared his blessing meal and handed it to Greata, who is standing in the middle.

"what"

Suddenly, a scream came from somewhere next to Xiao Zhi. The scream was heart-wrenching, as if he was screaming with all his strength, as if a person was being eaten alive by some kind of monster.

Xiao Zhi turned his head suddenly, and the smile on his face disappeared instantly.

The one who screamed was a believer in a white robe, an old gentleman with white hair. He was supposed to be sitting and quietly tasting the blessing meal. The people around were similar, and everyone always ate their own food. , talk occasionally.

But the young man sitting next to him was wearing the same white robe as everyone else, but at this moment his face was gray and his eyes were turned up, and there was only a bloodshot white in the whole eye socket, which looked eerie.

When Xiao Zhi looked at it, he opened his mouth and bit the old man's neck fiercely, and with extreme force, like a hunting beast, he seemed to bite off the neck in his mouth.

Along with his movements, a large amount of blood splattered out, dyeing the tables, chairs, floors and walls red, and also dyeing the white robes of the surrounding believers red.

The surrounding believers who were splashed with blood were shocked. They stood up in a hurry and fled in panic. The blood on the ground was rubbed by the soles of their shoes, and it gradually spread and spread as the people fled.

The old man's screams became weaker and weaker. He still maintained a shouting posture, but there was only a faint airflow left in his open mouth, and it was no longer difficult to squeeze out a sound.

Seeing the appearance of the young believer, Xiao Zhi instantly recognized it. It was a living corpse, with only the lowest level of attack, and it was difficult to communicate or communicate.

Living corpses have limited intelligence, and it is impossible for them to mix into the crowd and pretend to be like normal people.

Where did this corpse come from? Infected or sent in by someone disguised?

Greatta on the stage reacted extremely quickly, raising her staff almost as soon as she heard the screams, and while everyone was running away, Greatta precisely landed on the corpse that became a living corpse. on young people.

The warm golden light touched the hideous living corpse and wrapped him in it. The golden light dispelled the dark energy in the young man's body little by little, making his hideous face return to calm little by little.

At the same time, Greatta greeted the clergy around him: "Patrick saves people, others are going to evacuate the believers, let everyone leave here first, don't panic to prevent injuries."

The curly-haired bishop he had seen before had also come to the old gentleman who was attacked, and he was the Patrick Greatta said. He picked up the old man and shone the light of the healing technique on his neck, allowing the wound to heal slowly.

Seeing this, the surrounding believers breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the living corpse has been controlled, and the injured old gentleman has also been treated by the bishop. believe that with the healing technique performed by the bishop himself, he will be fine soon. May God bless him.

Many of the believers present couldn't help drawing the light of the sun on their chests.

But at this moment, accidents happened one after another.

The first is Patrick Bishop who treats the old gentleman.

He was originally holding the old gentleman in one hand and performing healing with the other. While he was being treated, the half-conscious old man in his arms suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes were snow-white, and after the treatment, his rosy complexion recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Then the old man opened his mouth wide, like the young man before, and bit down on Bishop Patrick, who was treating him.

Fortunately, Bishop Patrick was not an ordinary person. He leaned back with agile movements to narrowly avoid this blow.

The old man's not so sharp teeth bit the decoration on Bishop Patrick's clothes, as if he didn't know the pain, and tore it off fiercely.

Patrick frowned: "The speed of this corpse..."

On this side, the mutation happened, and on the other side, the young man who had gradually recovered under the purification technique opened his eyes again.

He turned his neck stiffly, "staring" at Archbishop Greata with his eyes full of whites, and a scalp-tingling "cluck" sounded from his throat.

Greatta's brows wrinkled, his intuition was not good, he shouted: "Accelerate the evacuation, the situation is not right!!"

This young man can no longer be saved by purification techniques.

He glanced at the corpse old man again.

how come? Even if it is infected with death energy, the speed of corpse transformation should not be so fast, right?

Although there are still doubts in his heart, the current situation does not allow Grayatta to think carefully. As soon as his spellcasting action changed, a bright light shot out from his staff, and suddenly rushed towards the strange corpse young man. .

Seemingly seeing Greerata's movements, the young man suddenly split his mouth, revealing an exaggerated smile that took up half of his face, as if all the muscles on his face were working on their own.

Then, before the light touched his body, his whole body exploded.

As the pieces of meat splashed around, a strong sense of death and resentment burst out from his body, and spread throughout the entire nave. The dark green color quickly occupied everyone's attention, and the smell of blood and rancidity was so strong that everyone seemed to be in the dead zone.

The accident isn't over yet.

As if receiving some kind of order, several believers who were crowded in the crowd suddenly began to corpse, and quickly turned into living corpses. With the help of the cover of death, they began to attack the people beside them. Humans are transformed into corpses again.

"what"

"dad!!"

"Woooooo...I'm going to die..."

For a time, the entire nave was in chaos.

Xiao Zhi took a step back in death, grabbed Frost who was closest to him, and felt the icy temperature in his hands, which made him feel more at ease.

With the help of the surrounding noise, Xiao Zhi whispered in a volume that only two people could hear: "It's so strong and dead, it's comparable to that method buried in the bone."

Frost: "Normal death doesn't have such a deadly aura. The current scale must have been specially collected by someone."

Xiao Zhi: "The purpose is obvious..."

Since it is a dungeon related to the disappearance of Gretta, the person targeted by these deadly anger must be the Archbishop Gretta.

Based on memory, Xiao Zhi took a few steps forward and walked closer to Gretta.

Now that the situation is so chaotic, and there is still death and resentment in the air, he is not too worried about Frost's exposure.

Greyata released a large-scale purification technique again, slightly dispelling the dark green aura in the nave. Seeing the chaos in the field, he frowned. Why did so many people suddenly turn into living corpses? And the speed of this transformation is obviously abnormal, there must be someone behind it...

At this time, some of the panicked people had already escaped from the nave, while others had evacuated with the clergy earlier. There were not many people left in the arena, and they all looked like they were too frightened to move.

It also included Xiao Zhi, who tried his best to look like he was scared, and... Frost, who simply lowered his head because he couldn't act.

After thinking for a moment, Gretta said to everyone present: "Don't worry, Bishop Patrick and I will take you away."

With that, he walked towards the frightened believers, pulling them up one by one and comforting them softly.

Bishop Patrick does the same thing.

Gretta walked over to Xiao Zhi and said gently, "Are you all okay?"

Xiao Zhi hugged Frost's arm tightly and asked with a worried look, "Lord Greerata, can I, we... be saved?"

As he said that, he rubbed Frost again, his fingers tightly clenching Frost's white robe, expressing his unease and fear with body language.

Frost was silent, patting Xiao Zhi's back lightly, as if to comfort him. He lowered his head, and was covered by lights and night, but Greerata didn't notice anything unusual for a while.

Gretta showed a reassuring smile, her tone was calm, and her eyes were firm: "Don't worry, I swear to God, I will definitely protect you."

If Xiao Zhi was really an ordinary villager, he thought, he would definitely have confidence in the current Archbishop Gretta.

The two of them infiltrated Greerata's team like this, mixing with a group of believers who seemed to be overly frightened chickens. The surrounding believers shrank, but no one paid attention to Xiao Zhi and the two.

Greatta opened the way ahead, and from time to time, holy light emanated from her hands, protecting the people behind her.

There were many corpses lying down along the way, some of them were believers who died, some were corpses killed by Holy Light, and the air was filled with the smell of blood mixed with the rotten smell of the corpses.

As soon as came to the corridor at the entrance of the nave, there was a strange voice above head, which sounded a little sticky, like some mollusk crawling above.

Everyone raised their heads in horror and saw a thing with no skin all over its body. This thing looked like a human, but its hands and feet were obviously alienated. Green juice fell from his mouth and fell to the ground, corroding the floor. There was a sound of "ZZZZ".

Greatta raised her hand and said softly, "Take them back."

Bishop Patrick nodded and led everyone back to the safety of the nave.

Xiao Zhi knew at a glance that this must be the boss in the dungeon, but unfortunately, in order to observe the development of the situation, he decided to follow the normal villager's character, so he could only quietly mix in the crowd, watching Gloria take the lead.

Xiao Zhi felt very familiar with this kind of behavior of following the boss. He looked at Frost beside him. This time, he brought his boss and friend with him, probably called "Gou Fugui" , don't forget each other"?

The skinless monster screeched at the crowd, then quickly crawled towards them on all fours and ground.

Xiao Zhi looked at the staff in Grayta's hand and tapped lightly. Holy Light, Light Blade, God's Blessing... All kinds of priests' skills were skillfully released. Although priests didn't have many attack skills, Holy Light was very effective against the undead. Naturally, it has a restraint effect, and the damage is considerable.

During the battle, Greatta did not forget to control his position and try not to let the battle situation affect the believers not far away.

Soon, the monster screamed and turned to ashes in the light of the Holy Light.

Everyone went forward with Greata again, and encountered several crises along the way, all of which were resolved by Greata, and no one was injured, just as he promised before.

Gretta brought everyone to the door of the church.

However, they found that the church at the moment was covered with a halo, and the halo was like a transparent but solid barrier, sealing everyone inside the church.

"Magic, magic barrier..."

"We're dead... woo woo..."

"Why? Why did I encounter such a thing? I am so religious..."

Despair spread among the believers, Xiao Zhi looked around, but did not find those who left before, where did they go? Did he leave successfully, or was there another accident?

Greata reached out to touch the magic barrier in front of her, and recited a complicated prayer, but nothing changed until the prayer was over.

His brows furrowed, and a thoughtful look appeared in his eyes. But after seeing the frightened and desperate believers, he quickly adjusted his expression and kept his voice as calm as possible: "Come with me, even if you can't get out temporarily, I will take you to a safe place."

After calming everyone's uneasy emotions a little, Greata led them forward again.

This time they came to an underground space.

This should have been prepared by the Cisa Church in response to the crisis. The interior decoration is very simple, but the space is large and divided into several floors. There are some tables and chairs, storage materials, and ventilation pipes. A group of people Hiding in there for a few days is not a problem.

Gretta closed the basement door and drew a circle on it to seal the door.

He said to the frightened believers in a soothing tone: "Okay, now we can stay here for a while, and tomorrow, the church will send more people to deal with it, everyone can relax for a while."

Everyone looked at each other and looked at the surrounding environment. The tense nerves relaxed a little, and they each found a place to rest.

Xiao Zhi and Frost didn't leave too far in order to better observe the situation of Greata.

At this time, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl suddenly turned pale and fell down, with a painful whimper in her mouth, her body was still twitching, and she looked very painful.

Gretta and Patrick hurried over to check on her.

Greatta lifted the girl from the icy ground, and a holy light appeared in her hand. She checked her status and asked, "Is there anything uncomfortable?"

The girl's voice was weak, and her whole body was trembling: "At... at..."

Her lips opened and closed, but her voice was as small as a mosquito, making it impossible to hear at all.

Greerata moved closer to her again, trying to calm down her voice: "Don't worry, speak slowly, you'll be fine."

The girl spoke again, her voice still small: "I think..."

At this time, Xiao Zhi, who had been paying attention to the situation, noticed that the corners of the girl's mouth were slightly raised, as if she had encountered something happy.

Not good.

In the next instant, Gratta suddenly felt a sharp pain.

Not from the girl's side.

But from his side - Patrick.

Patrick approached Gretta by checking the girl's posture, and then while he was listening intently to the girl's words, and without any defense, he used the bishop's wide uniform to cover up, and suddenly stabbed Gretta with the spikes hidden in his hand. waist side.

The size of the spikes is very small, and it has completely submerged into Gretta's body under the force. With the cover of the archbishop's gorgeous clothes, it can't be seen at all.

Greatta turned back in shock and looked at the bishop who had followed him for many years: "You..."

As soon as his voice came out, his brows were wrinkled. He felt that a strong death energy was eroding his body. The source of death energy was the spike that pierced into his body.

Moreover, this death energy is so strong, so strong that the powerful light energy in his body is losing ground.

Many times stronger than those that infected believers before.

Could it be that... Patrick did all this? In order to get rid of himself, he actually sacrificed so many innocent believers? Gretta's heart was full of puzzlement and anger.

A smile appeared in Patrick's eyes, but his tone was panicked. He shouted: "Not good!! The archbishop is also corpse!!!! Everyone, run!!"

The people who had just quieted down immediately panicked.

"how come?"

"Lord Gretta..."

"Impossible, adults are so strong..."

Everyone looked at Greata, hoping it was just an inappropriate joke.

But the reality made them despair. Under the eyes of the public, Greerata's original ruddy face quickly turned gray and defeated. There was struggle in his eyes, but blue lines continued to emerge on his neck, and there was life. Vibrant like, and more and more hideous.

This is obviously a corpse that is even more serious than those before! !

At this moment, the girl who was originally in Greerata's arms fled from his side and took the lead in screaming: "Ah!!! This must be the punishment of God, what the hell have you done, Master Greerata?!! !"

Being so rhythmic by the girl, suspicion appeared in everyone's eyes.

"Yeah, our village has always been very peaceful, and nothing major has happened since its establishment."

"With the protection of the Holy Light, we don't get sick very often."

"How could something like this happen the first time Archbishop Gretta came here? Is it really God's punishment? Punishment... We are getting too close to sinners?"

"He...he still sealed the door, did he just not want us to leave?"

For a time, the original admiration eyes turned into condemnation, fear, and disgust. They completely forgot who had escorted them all the way here before, and only condemned the culprit in their hearts.

Or... anger.

They were eager to find a reason for the current predicament. At this time, someone handed over the reason, and in this reason, they were all innocent, the one who made the mistake was Archbishop Greata, and he was the only one who was condemned by God.

They just need to fear Greerata.

Run away from him and they'll be safe.

"what"

The terrified people fled in all directions, looking for a hiding place in the basement.

Greatta tried to stand up, but fell to the ground weakly. The conflict between death energy and holy light made him feel very painful. He raised his hand: "Don't... run around... dangerous..."

Patrick stepped in front of him, with a malicious smile on his face: "Now, the most dangerous thing is you, Archbishop."

Xiao Zhi and Frost found a corner to hang out. Although they were angry at Patrick's behavior, these are things that have long since passed, and they were powerless to change anything.

Although it is a bit indifferent to say this, they are here to find the truth of the year, and watching is the most appropriate way. Helping to solve Patrick now has a high probability that the dungeon will end early, and you will miss the opportunity to learn the truth. The next time you have such an opportunity, you will have to wait until the night of the full moon next month.

Patrick took out his staff and pointed it at Greata. Although Greata was suffering from the erosion of death, she still managed to stand up and meet Patrick.

Xiao Zhi was observing the battle situation.

"Oh~ why are you still here, are you too scared to walk?" A slightly sweet voice came from behind.

Xiao Zhi and Frost turned their heads and saw the girl who pretended to be sick and tricked Greata into approaching them, but at this moment her eyes were sly and cruel, not like a girl at all.

Before contacting him, Xiao Zhi guessed that this guy was probably a 25th boy wearing a vest, and his job might be a promising career like a killer, but he basically died young.

Seeing the two of them looking at her, a sharp dagger appeared in the girl's hand: "Don't be afraid, I'll send you off now~"

In her eyes, these two are just ordinary villager A and ordinary villager B, and there is nothing to be afraid of.

She approached step by step, with a malicious smile on her face: "Hee hee, I noticed before that you guys have been sticking together, and when you all die, I will definitely separate you, throw one on the ground and the other on the ground. Outside."

After speaking, the girl's eyes flashed fiercely, and she clenched her dagger and suddenly rushed towards the two, looking forward to seeing the panic and despair in front of them, as well as the painful and moving mourning before her death.

However, what greeted her was a bright flame.

Immediately after, a series of fireballs like lines of fire hit her one after another.

The girl's eyes widened: "!!!"

How could there be such a violent ordinary villager A in the world!!???

However, she ran out of time. Facing the menacing fireball, the girl's last thought was—

Damn...why are you guys...two or five boys...
