Were they holding strong grievances toward the others for not saving them when they died, and so they were dragging the others into the mud like vengeful spirits?

“Undead spirits?” the soldiers blurted out in a panic.

“I don’t think so. Even though humans might turn into Undead spirits when they die, the process normally takes some time. They won’t turn into aggressive Undead spirits so quickly!” Mo Fan shook his head.

These were not zombies in an American film, where the people who died would suddenly open their bloodshot eyes and bite others on the neck.

The relationship between dead bodies and Undead was like rice and wine.

It was necessary to seal the rice in an enclosed environment for fermentation. The swamp might be a perfect enclosed environment for Undead spirits to be born in, but it would take longer than a few seconds!

If the people who were dead for only a few minutes would turn into Undead that attacked nearby people, wouldn’t the world be ruled by the Undead by now?

The Undead could only be born under certain circumstances, given the right conditions and time.

The soldiers who were holding the feet of the others were very odd. Mo Fan had no idea what they were exactly.

Cory pointed at the swamp and shouted, “Look, the dead bodies are moving again!”

The dark blue lights were moving. The Life-Hanging Flies were attached to the dead bodies they were feeding on, clearly outlining the corpses with their overwhelming numbers.

The dead bodies in the swamp started gathering in a certain direction after they could not find any targets nearby.

It was like they were swimming under the mud. Over a hundred drowned soldiers soon gathered around an old tree.

The old tree sat above the swamp. The mud had already reached the middle of its trunk. Its branches had odd shapes, and were spread in the rain with wilted leaves dangling off them. The leaves were dancing like evil spirits as the wind was blowing.

The dead soldiers had gathered close to the tree’s roots. It was obvious that the tree’s roots covered a great area, at least a thousand square meters.

The strange thing was, the corpses did not scatter around the tree messily. They instead resembled the branches of a tree .

If Mo Fan did not think of the blue outlines as dead corpses. The Blue Fluorescent Bone Powder had actually formed the outline of a huge tree under the mud!

It would be an impressive sight if Mo Fan flipped the tree upside down!

“I know what it is!” Mo Fan declared with a frown.

“There’s something wrong with that tree,” Zhao Manyan agreed.

Mo Fan whispered into Mu Bai’s ear. Mu Bai nodded and slowly backed away.

Zhao Manyan seemed quite impatient, yet Mo Fan stopped talking halfway. No one could possibly remain calm after witnessing the deaths of the soldiers.

Lt. Colonel Mason and his men all had pale faces.

Something unknown was reaping the lives of their comrades, yet they could not find any explanation as to what was going on.

No one knew who would be dragged into the mud next. Most important, they would not rest in peace after they died!

“Order!”
