Trickster Hunter.

Chapter 99: Ancient Battlefield and Corpse Demons
"What about other areas? Are there any that need our support?" Wang Xiyi asked.

"Not yet...wait a minute!"

Before Yang Qi finished speaking, a shrill alarm immediately sounded in the communication channel!
"A large number of unknown monsters have appeared in areas A11 and A13, requesting support!"

"A strange creature has been encountered in area A19! A battle is in progress!"

"Communications in areas A35 and B09 are interrupted!"

"Communications in area B14 interrupted!"

Almost at the same time, the hunters responsible for clearing various areas encountered strange creatures, and the battle entered a white-hot stage as soon as it began!
"The auxiliary drone detected an abnormal meme frequency!" Yang Qi said quickly, "It's right under your feet! And... there are a lot of them!"

"I guessed it." Wang Xiyi lowered her head and looked at the ground. "The only place they can hide is underground."

Sun Hang also smelled the unique scent of the monster at this time...but this time, what he smelled was a disgusting stench.

In other words, these strange creatures hiding underground are even despised by the gluttons, who are never picky about their food.

“Here it comes!” Wang Xiyi shouted in a low voice, and black scales instantly covered the two slender arms, and the ten fingers transformed into sharp dragon claws - this is a semi-beast state, the combat power is weaker than full beast, but the control difficulty is much higher than full beast. The only advantage is that the semi-beast has a relatively low impact on the process of transformation.

In Wang Xiyi's own words, she is a "氪 life" kind of person.

The next second, countless monsters crawled out from the cracks in the ground. These monsters looked like a group of deformed children. They had huge heads like the aliens commonly seen in science fiction works, skinny bodies that were completely disproportionate to their heads, and sharp nails that looked like claws.

Their skin was a sickly bluish-white color, covered with corpse spots and rotten wounds of various sizes. Some of these wounds even ran across most of the body, exposing the heart that had shrunk to the size of a walnut in the chest cavity.

What makes people feel the most strange is their faces - these humanoid monsters do not have any facial features, only two lines of deep red tear marks like dried blood, extending from where the eye sockets should be to the jaw.

"It's a corpse ghost." Wang Xiyi crushed the head of a monster that pounced on her, and then kicked a "corpse ghost" that tried to attack her from the side, breaking it into two pieces.

"It sounds like zombies or something like that." Sun Hang stood still. Tens of millions of hyphae rose from behind him and in a blink of an eye, they turned the zombies that approached him into sieves.

"Almost the same. Ghouls are actually corpses buried deep underground that have been infected by the strange virus and resurrected into strange creatures." Wang Xiyi said as she slaughtered the ghouls that kept crawling out from the ground. "Their individual strength depends on their strength in life. Their actual threat is actually weaker than that of an ordinary adult... Generally, people who are attacked by ghouls are either frightened and unable to react, or they are elderly or children. According to records, this is a kind of strange creature that bullies the weak and fears the strong, and rarely actively attacks adults."

"Are there many records of ghouls appearing?"

"A lot. In the entire Xiazhou Federation, there are at least hundreds of cases of zombies attacking humans every year." Wang Xiyi said, "However, these cases are usually handled by the Public Security Bureau. Hunters will only take on the task of hunting zombies if they are bored." "But this number is really too much..."

Before Sun Hang could finish his words, the next batch of zombies that crawled out from the ground had already changed.

Some broken armor appeared on their bodies, and a considerable number of the zombies were holding weapons such as ring-handled swords and iron spears in their hands - although these ring-handled swords had been rusted beyond recognition and only the heads of the iron spears were left, these guys were undoubtedly much more threatening than the previous zombies who were unarmed.

"Why do I feel... that we are facing a resurrected ancient army?" Sun Hang easily crushed a corpse ghost wielding a ring-handled knife with mycelium. He originally wanted to snatch the ring-handled knife to take a look, but who knew that the ring-handled knife turned into powder in an instant as soon as it slipped out of the corpse ghost's hand and was blown away by the wind.

"Sun Hang, I checked. The place where you are now is an ancient battlefield from the Three Kingdoms era. This corpse ghost is most likely an ancient soldier who was 'resurrected' by the weird virus!" Yang Qi's voice sounded in the communication channel.

"The Three Kingdoms period?" Sun Hang was stunned for a moment. "That's more than 1800 years ago, right? How could a corpse from that time be preserved so well?"

"Don't look at strange things with the same eyes as normal things!" Ye Xuan interrupted, "Although there are many of these corpse ghosts, their combat effectiveness is very weak. Clear this area immediately and support other hunters - the enemies they encounter are much more difficult than you!"

The four auxiliary drones in the air had dispersed and were firing at the dense group of zombies with the machine guns mounted under the fuselage - the lamellar armor of the Three Kingdoms period was as good as paper in front of modern thermal weapons. The efficiency of the four drones in clearing the zombies was even faster than that of Sun Hang and Wang Xiyi. Watching the zombies fall one by one, Sun Hang even had the illusion that he was playing a lawn mowing game.

But soon, an aura much stronger than that of ordinary zombies appeared in Sun Hang's perception range - Wang Xiyi had just torn two armored zombies into pieces, and the ground under her feet suddenly burst open, and a burly figure rushed out from under the ground, slapping Wang Xiyi and sending her flying with a slap.

This "corpse ghost" is five meters tall. Even "Iron Wall" looks like a stunted dwarf when standing next to it. It is covered in heavy metal armor... No, to be precise, it is not covered in armor, but those armor plates are embedded in the flesh... They are not equipment, but part of the body of this giant corpse ghost.

"Old Wang, are you alive?" Sun Hang used mycelium to weave a large net, blocking the giant corpse ghost, then turned around and shouted to Wang Xiyi who was knocked away.

"It's okay, I just feel a little dizzy." Wang Xiyi quickly got up from the ground - a pair of scaly dragon wings stretched out from behind her, and the scales on her body gradually covered her torso and spread to her neck.

Completely beastial.

"This guy is not easy to deal with." Sun Hang watched the giant zombie tear open the mycelium web with his bare hands - the web was strong enough to hold a dump truck traveling at a hundred kilometers per hour, but in front of the giant zombie, it was no different from an ordinary spider web.

"Damn it." Wang Xiyi spat out a mouthful of burning blood foam and wiped the corners of her mouth with her claws, "I was careless."

"How could there be such a five-meter-tall giant in the Three Kingdoms era?" Sun Hang asked, "Or is this all due to the strange virus?"

　I seem to have a cold...
