    (Suddenly I discovered that Chapter 4 was missing. It was too troublesome to revise the chapters, so I put them all in one chapter. Please forgive the author for being lazy.)

    The sun sets and the moon rises, day and night go back and forth, three reincarnations have passed.

    It’s early morning now.

    Wisps of golden brilliance spread through the clouds on this wilderness. The sun covered the snow, dispelling the chill. There was a thin layer of mist in the air. Where the white mist grew, the sea of ??clouds rippled, and the pines were exposed and exposed.  Out of the vast snowy plains.

    Three black spots slowly moved across the land, and as the footsteps echoed, they revealed clear humanoid outlines.

    Walking at the front was a girl dressed coolly, with only her shawl-length hair exposed. Although her face could not be seen clearly, the irrepressible plump waves on her chest, paired with her tall figure, gave her a hint of youthfulness and maturity.  Intertwined temptations.  She and another gentle and slender woman with black hair walked in front of her, silently guarding a young man wrapped in a snow-white bear skin who looked like a bent-walking polar bear from a distance.

    This is the Luo Xia trio who are on their way in the morning.

    Although the area he came to was not the inner layer of the Arctic Circle, the coldness brought by high latitudes was still too cold for ordinary people to endure. Fortunately, the sunlight was clear during the day, and when it shone on the earth, it finally brought some warmth.  meaning.  Otherwise, Rorschach, who has been accustomed to a comfortable life for a long time and is dressed in midsummer clothes, would have been unable to hold on long ago.

    As soon as it got dark, he got up early, took the sheepskin map found in the broken house, and started the first step of the newcomer's mission.

    Originally, even if he had the translation benefits of the reincarnation space, which allowed him to effortlessly understand the text messages written in the common language of Azeroth, he would not be able to start taking action.  Because as a Chinese student with a normal social life and accustomed to the endless cycle of three o'clock and one line when going out, Rorschach has no way to determine his own parameters just by visually measuring the distance between the sun and himself, like the famous adventurer host on a certain food show.  Location.  And trying to identify the direction through the vague constellation patterns in the mind is obviously a delusion in this alien world where the starry sky is a mess.

    However, this embarrassing problem was immediately solved perfectly with the arrival of the two corpse girls.

    Speaking here, I have to mention the origins of the two obedient beauties who are now accompanying Luo Xia.

    Unlike the purple-haired beautiful girl who was born in the butcher comic "School Apocalypse" and is just a modern high school student with excellent swordsmanship and calm temperament, in the novel "Qin Qin Ji", as the unofficial female lead, "Ji Yanran"  "When it first appeared, the story was already halfway through.  The number of women cited in the previous article alone is twelve, but each has a different youth. It can be said that a hundred flowers bloom, ranging from the beautiful and pitiful graceful widow "Beautiful Silkworm Girl" to the beautiful and proud  The aristocratic princesses "Wu Tingfang" and "Zhao Ya", even the cold and lonely Princess Zhao "Zhao Qian", the heroic and beautiful assassin "Shan Rou" who is born with hatred and love, these female characters have already surrounded the protagonist.  It is said that it has concentrated most of the elements and images that could appear in the novels of the heroine at that time.  Under the shining stars, readers whose tastes are satisfied will naturally form a biased fixed impression in their hearts early. In this way, no matter how stunning and beautiful the women who appear in the following chapters are, it will easily lead to repetition and comparison.  Aesthetic fatigue, thus being suppressed and reduced to a passerby.

    "But this kind of thing was almost a foregone conclusion, but the creator Huang Yi couldn't stand it. Seeing that the situation was not good, he personally flipped the table and cheated.  Seeing that the "features" were too numerous to impress people, he simply used the "unattainable perfection" in his heart as the prototype to create an image of a goddess that was almost impossible for humans to achieve.

    This is also the origin of "Ji Yanran".  In her first appearance, although she amazes the four countries with her singing and dancing skills, which is similar to that of a famous prostitute, her noble bloodline as a descendant of the Yue country is soon revealed. In the sudden turn of the plot, the author also uses "she was displaced and lonely at a young age".  With the reason of "having no one to rely on", she suddenly became one of the three greatest swordsmen in the Wei Kingdom, second only to the Sword Master Cao Qiudao.  But at this point, the creator Huang Yi was still not satisfied. He once again arranged for Zou Yan, the founder of the Yin-Yang family who proposed the Five Virtues theory during the Warring States Period, to be her traveling teacher, thus giving her the attributes of a scholarly and talented woman.  It can be said that this kind of character is better than kind and gentle in martial arts, surpasses Zhao Ya in beauty, surpasses Feng Fei in singing and dancing, is cute and straightforward but not inferior to Wu Tingfang. It is simply the result of gathering all the characteristics of the heroine in the previous article, blending them and further sublimating them.

    In this way, the author uses an almost "rogue" method to avoid the comparison problem in readers' minds about favoring women, because no matter which one the reader likes, they can always find some of them in Ji Yanran, but at the same time  I feel that it is more vivid and stunning than the prototype, and no matter how much I compare, I can’t feel disgusted.

    Fortunately for Luo Xia, after becoming the Corpse Princess, thisAlthough the unparalleled beauty no longer has the rich emotions and amazing wisdom of the past, the memory and knowledge in her mind is still preserved.  Although it is impossible to think smartly or innovate, there is no problem in simply using the knowledge fixed in the mind under clear orders.  Naturally, with the help of this Da Da, who is almost a "female Zhuge", Luo Xia, a road idiot, can easily use the map in his hand.

    It’s just that the wool roll in his hand is not the kind of universal plug-in in the game.  The route is just scrawled, and even the content only outlines the general terrain of dozens of miles in radius.  Fortunately, two clear routes were finally marked: one leads to the largest pioneer settlement nearby - "Hainem Town"; the other leads to the mountains and ridges and treks to the end of the northern coast.  It's not signed, it's just marked with a hammer mark, and I don't know whether it refers to a blacksmith or a mine.

    Rorschach thought about it again and again, and finally decided to go to a populated town to inquire about the situation and find out his position, and then continue towards Valgard.  And, more importantly, there

    Supplies can be obtained.

    Naturally, Rorschach could not have expected that an assassination operation would become the prelude to a wonderful adventure. In order to be light and convenient, in addition to a black gun, he only had half a bag of refreshing chocolates on his body.  This little food was consumed as early as night. The reason for taking early action was not so much the influence of the good biological clock, but rather the unbearable torture of the peristaltic gastrointestinal motility.

    Although there are some greenery along the way, most of them are cold moss plants, which does not mean that the temperature is getting warmer.  Once night came, without the shelter of the hut, the cold temperature alone was enough to freeze him into a ball of ice.

    ??After nearly four hours of arduous trek from the semi-dark and dim early morning to the high sun hanging at noon, the terrain in front of him also began to change.  The originally desolate wilderness gradually turned into rolling hills, and the vegetation on the roadside began to become dense. However, most of them were silver-covered cedar forests or single bushes and grasses, which did not bear any edible fruits at all.  fruit.  What surprised him was that after walking such a long way in the primitive wilderness, he could not find any traces of wild animals. Even the chirping of birds was very sparse and inconsistent with the surrounding environment.

    "Perhaps Azeroth's hibernation period is earlier than that of Earth." Rorschach shook his head and no longer thought about this problem.  He clasped his legs and panted for a moment. Finally, he felt the pain subsided, and then he opened the wool map used for heating on his chest. After some comparisons, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

    According to the information on the map, if you proceed at this speed, you will probably reach the town on the map after passing through the forest and walking along the river for half an hour.

    With the motivation to move forward, the hunger in his belly also subsided a little. He relaxed his sore muscles a little, then quickened his pace and started the journey. Even because of the strenuous exercise, his whole body was dripping with heat and sweat, and even the chill of the weather changed.  Gotta feel nothing.

    Soon, Rorschach was pleasantly surprised to find some differences.  If the entrance to Shanlin where he entered was still a primitive and wild natural scenery, but near the other end of the river, there were obvious traces of human settlement.  He even found a winding, narrow dirt path with footprints and horse-drawn carriage ruts on it.

    With the road, the direction of progress was naturally clear. Rorschach, who had no time to identify the road, further increased his speed, and soon heard the gurgling sound of a river. In the map display, along the lower bank of the river,  There is a small logging camp. Walking more than ten kilometers eastward along the logging camp, you can find the only town.

    But when he got here, he slowed down his pace instead of rushing forward. Instead, he carefully looked around and looked at the surrounding environment:

    At this moment, he was standing on the hillside of the hill. Through the gaps between the trees, he could vaguely see cold waves. The water surface shone with sparkling silver under the sunlight, and above the river, that is, the mountain  At the bottom, large areas of open space appeared, surrounded by countless tree stumps, revealing the scene after felling.  If you continue to look further into the distance, you can still catch a glimpse of black edges, which seem to be the outline of the roof in the lumberyard.

    "It seems normalbut why do I always feel like something is wrong?" Rorschach pondered for a moment, ignoring the pain of hunger, and his brain started working rapidly.  After all, the blueprint of this world, whether it is the expansion pack of World of Warcraft or the prototype of Warcraft, as far as he knows, although the Arctic continent of Northrend has been isolated from the world for thousands of years, it is the evil villain throughout the plot.  The headquarters of the "Scavenger Legion" was located, so he couldn't help but be cautious.

    He compared the map, looked at the whole thing for a moment, and suddenly came to his senses.

    The tree stump at the bottom of the mountainIt was originally a circular clearing, but as it continued to extend upward, it suddenly turned into seven or eight criss-crossing gaps. It was no longer a logging method spreading outward from the origin, but an intricate and long straight line.  .  It seems that after the logger finished cutting down the trees in front, he ignored the wood resources on both sides and continued to collect the next tree in front. This is very different from ordinary people's trouble-free thinking, just like

    "It's like a monkey with no wisdom and driven only by instinct. When it sees the watermelon in front of it, it immediately throws away the sesame seeds from the previous moment"

    "You don't have basic judgment, and you rely entirely on visual effects to support your actions?" Luo Xia recalled a certain game he had played before, and had a vague premonition.

    He hesitated for a moment, then deviated from the trail and walked toward the most remote logging road on the lower right. Finally, he stopped on a tree stump and looked at it carefully, with a solemn look on his face.

    At this time, even if he had no experience in felling, he could easily detect the strangeness of these tree stumps. There were no jagged smooth marks on the remaining cylindrical edges of the tree trunks. Instead, there were still seven or eight holes dug into the bark below.  It's not like the slash of the ax blade, but more like the repeated scratching of the claws, with a faint smell of decay.

    In addition, in order to fully collect wood, ordinary loggers often leave only the last ten centimeters of tree stumps that are difficult to eradicate. However, these fir trees in front of them only cut off the upper part, leaving about half a meter high, as if they were a group of people suffering from the disease.  The dwarfs, who were unable to bend due to spinal disease, had no choice but to cut down sections of wood that were as tall as their body, and were helpless with the remaining resources.

    Luo Xia then lowered his head and looked at the ground. Unfortunately, the climate here is cold. The soil under the forest is similar to hard frozen soil, making it difficult to leave footprints. He is not a professional who is proficient in investigating cases, so naturally he cannot see any clues.

    Rorschach thought for a while, then suddenly sneaked sideways into the forest, and then followed the tree stump on the roadside. Although his footsteps were extremely slow, as the distance got closer, faint rustling sounds began to be heard from the front, and from time to time  There was a strange whimpering sound, like the deliberately suppressed breathing of a wild animal.

    With his commanding position, he could easily see the scene more than 20 meters away. He couldn't help his heart skipping a beat, and he felt a cold chill. He stared at it for a moment, then shook his head slightly and said, "Sure enough the worst situation has happened.  ”

    Two ugly monsters, one big and one small, were lying under the tree. Their bodies were curled up, like deformed standing wolf dogs, but the heads that poked out had human features, except that their cheeks were sunken, their canines were protruding, and their gums had lost moisture.  Generally exposed to the outside, the yellowed fangs are opening and closing, biting against the fir tree, making crunching sounds from time to time.

    ——————————————————————————

    The monster (al-ghūl) originally originated from the legend of Arabia in the Middle East. It is not an undead spirit in the consciousness of ordinary people, but a shape-shifting demon that is opposite to the attributes of angels in religion and can transform into animals.  Its usual image is the prototype of a scavenging "sideburne" with obvious regional characteristics.  They usually rob graves and feed on the flesh and blood of the deceased or young children. They will also lure travelers to the desert wasteland to kill and devour them. Their reputation in the desert is enough to make any man armed with a scimitar and brave and fanatical believer.  The Arab warriors were shivering and unable to move.

    However, with the historical religious disputes between the Western European world and Arabia for thousands of years, the continuous advancement of the three Crusades, and then the opening and decline of the Silk Road.  The continuous collision and exchange between Eastern and Western civilizations gradually caused the image of desert ghouls to flow into the Mediterranean basin, and finally extended to India and the Far East, which gave rise to similar immortal ghouls in Brahmanism and Egyptian mythology.  "She covers" image.  Even today, due to its widespread circulation, it is active in various game creations, film and television screens, and literary creations.

    In the setting of "Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne", a once very popular strategy game, ghouls have become the basic melee units of the Scourge, and they also work part-time as undead laborers in gold mines and wood collection tasks.

    But it does not mean that their strength will be any weaker than the legendary demon prototype.

    This kind of monster infected by the undead plague has completely shed its human shell. Its limbs are as long and narrow as a cheetah. Although the muscles of the whole body have atrophied, they have become tough because of it. Their claws are sharp enough to easily peel through thick bark.  , the black fingers are even filled with corpse poison, and according to the introduction in the game, this monster seems to have the ability to eat corpses and recover.

    What’s worse is that these two ghouls are not acting alone, there are a group of accomplices standing nearby.  But rather than saying they are companions, it is better to call them "coolies": On both sides of these two loggers, one big and one small, are close to seven or eight white-bone skeleton monsters.  These dead bones are not all made of human bones. Instead, they look like patchwork animal models.Xia could vaguely make out the twisted skeletons of cattle and sheep.  These animals, which worked for their masters during their lives, were not allowed to rest in peace after their death. Each of them had several logs pressed on its concave back, as if they were standing aside as tools for transporting resources.

    However, Rorschach can be sure that if he rushes over so rashly, most of these skeleton undead spirits will not be able to watch the show obediently. Although the skeletons transformed by these animals seem to be weaker, if they swarm up, it will also cause unforeseen consequences.  A minor annoyance.  He retracted his head and thought for a moment, then suddenly asked the corpse girl who was serving beside him:

    "Can you deal with these monsters?"

    If the two girls give a negative answer, Luo Xia turns around and retreats without saying a word.  Judging from the linen cloths worn by these two ghouls, they were probably infected after death by civilians in a nearby lumber camp.  If he couldn't deal with even this low-level team configuration, he would have no choice but to abandon this area, go around several times farther, and then turn the corner to reach the town to seek help from the indigenous forces.

    After hearing his question, the two obedient beauties looked at each other silently, and then started to act in tacit agreement.  The girl with long purple hair first bowed and saluted in a traditional Japanese posture, and then stepped back a few steps holding the sword at her waist. Before Rorschach could react, her whole body was "tapping" in a small step tone.  "The movement seemed to be extremely slow, but in the blink of an eye, it crossed the distance of more than ten steps and got close to the undead team that was concentrating on logging.

    "She is alone" Luo Xia was stunned for a moment. Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by a cold and stiff voice.

    "Okay" Under Luo Xia's surprised gaze, the slim black-haired beauty standing aside suddenly smoothed her hair, showing a kind of beauty like a classical lady, with a light smile on her pale jade face.  , stared at Rorschach, and said slowly and dullly:

    "Weprotectthe master."

    No What surprises me is How do you communicate with each other? You can make detailed plans and arrangements just by looking at each other. Is this information sensing similar to insects?

    Rorschach was in a state of confusion. Hearing the cute address of this beauty as "Master", he suddenly recalled some of his indecent actions yesterday. He suddenly felt a little embarrassed. He could only hesitate and turned his head to look at the other side.  battlefield.

    The next second, he suddenly understood why a loser like Bai Wu could be leisurely and comfortable in the adventure of the infinite space. He also vaguely understood why the reincarnation space threw a young newcomer like him into this dangerous magical world.  .

    The purple-haired girl holding the knife first stepped forward tentatively. Seeing that the evil ghosts showed no reaction, she pursed her lips and chuckled as vividly as she had in life. Her dignified and soft face revealed a kind of bloodthirsty madness, and her slender fingers  Gently stroking the handle of the knife at his waist, he suddenly chopped off his toes seven or eight meters away from the enemy. Luo Xia, who was hiding aside, felt his eardrums shake, and a distorted roar seemed to resound in the air.

    This fragile girl with long hair and the appearance of a high school student suddenly turned into a cold white light, her body flashed like lightning, and she flew up like a bird.  He only heard a soft moan in the air, and a snow-white horse swayed in the wind. Luo Xia saw a few lightning-like flashes of swords, and then there was the sound of two sharp blades tearing into flesh, and then  ….

    Then he was shocked to find that the battle was over.

    One large and one small, two ghouls that were infected and transformed by strong humans. They had no time to react at all. They were just rolled up by the rippling sword light. The two heads flew high and slid out of the two projectiles.  arc, falling to the ground one after another.  And it seems that because of some bad taste on the part of the perpetrator, the lips of the two heads were aligned one above the other, and rolled together like a kiss.

    As for the seven or eight cattle and sheep skeletons on the side, it was somewhat beyond Rorschach's expectation. They just stayed in place motionless with the logs on their backs, allowing their masters to be decapitated and did not make any resistance.  This move made Saeko, who was about to continue slashing, stop his sword, turned his head and looked at Luo Xia aside, straightened his body, and waited for the next instruction.

    It’s not like you just accept orders rigidly Do you have the most basic judgment?

    Luo Xia shook her head, vaguely understanding the strength and intelligence of Corpse Girl, and then stood up and approached her under the protection of another Miaoman lady.

    However, when he emerged from the forest, the animal skeleton that had been standing still suddenly became restless. He looked around for a moment and made a loose "click" sound all over his body. Then he turned his head at the same time and looked at Rorschach with an empty expression.  Two light blue flames appeared in his eyes.

    "Why did you suddenly move again? Do beautiful women have special privileges in front of the undead?" After personally killing Qiu Zhuan, Luo Xia's mentality became much calmer. At least he didn't feel scared in the face of such an attack. He laughed at himself, and after his body had already moved,  Withdrew, his right hand quickly touched the holster on his waist, ready to meetenemy.

    But his response was obviously in vain, because someone took action first.

    He saw the figure of the protector who was originally behind him move, and in the blink of an eye he had crossed to the front of Rorschach. He only felt a fragrance like musk and lily coming towards him, and then he watched the exquisite and graceful woman move forward with the sword.  , facing the cattle and sheep skeletons rushing towards them carrying heavy logs.

    Different from Busujima Saeko's sharp and sharp sword light, this stunning beauty from the pre-Qin era of China was like performing a wonderful song and dance. Facing the charge of seven or eight skeletons, she took the initiative to surrender.  Surrounded by white bones but cleverly avoiding collisions with edges and corners from all directions, the person suddenly spun around like a top.

    "Tsk——"

    Like a dazzling white lotus suddenly unfolding, the figure seems to be holding not a sharp sword, but a soft and wide snow drill that commands everything he wants. It is also like a table knife cutting into butter, and a circle of lingering white bones turns into snow in the blink of an eye.  The smooth black hair was flying like silk, and it gathered together in an instant. The dance stopped and the person returned. The long sword was like a sheath, and the person had already retreated.

    At the same time, the skeleton monster composed of seven or eight animals suddenly stiffened for a moment, and then made a crisp sound like exploding beans. However, at the same time, the skull and the ghost flame inside were cut through, losing the support of magic power, and was immediately killed by the body.  The heavy wood crushed into a pile of broken bones.

    Witnessing all this, Luo Xia was silent for a moment, suddenly felt a chill in his heart, and sighed with lingering fear: "Fortunately, the real world has sealed this kind of physique Otherwise, I'm afraid that even if I hold a machine cannon, I won't even have time to pull the trigger.  When I came out, I was"

    Before he could continue thinking, the "Book of Reincarnation" suddenly jumped out and automatically opened the pages, revealing lines of writing.

    "Adventurer Rorschach (lower black iron level)

    (ps: The following is not the text, it is purely the author’s comments.

    To be honest, those authors who write harems and multiple female protagonists should really learn this trick from Mr. Huang. This kind of creation of a sublimated collective female character as a harem will simply put an end to multiple female protagonists.  This is the source of controversy among readers with different tastes in the main novel

    No wonder "Looking for Qin" can become the second book that uses a real stud to promote girls, but is so exciting and popular that it was made into a TV series.

    By the way, the first book is "The Deer and the Cauldron".

    The protagonist in the previous article is an ordinary person, so we must force him to participate in the plot early. I believe you don’t want to see the kind of Chinese high school students who twist their tongues in the Mathematical Olympiad and ask for anger + the lich arcane chant, and the bad students knock down the death knight with a brick.  The funny story about a top student piercing a rune sword with a ballpoint pen (Though if you think about it carefully, it seems quite funny.)

    But for the time being, it’s better to hold on to your thighs honestly)
