At this time, Xu Feng was hiding in a thatched hut, surrounded by Taoist soldiers wearing cloth clothes and holding steel knives. He dared not move.

If there were only two or three zombie monsters, Xu Feng felt that he could still fight back, but with more than a dozen monsters rushing towards him, even with the help of Taoist soldiers, he would be torn to pieces.

"I can't defeat them, and I can't escape. Moreover, as time goes by, the scope of the gray fog will not only shrink, but I can't even hide from it..."

"Even if it is an S-level secret realm, we must at least give people a glimmer of hope. We can't push people into a desperate situation!" Xu Feng thought to himself.

No matter how difficult the secret realm is, it can't be a situation where there is no hope of survival. There will always be a glimmer of hope for people. However, it is unknown whether the apostles of the secret realm can find and grasp this glimmer of hope.

Xu Feng's thoughts were racing, thinking about ways to break the deadlock. At this moment, a short scream suddenly rang out in the center of the village. The zombies that were originally wandering on the street suddenly turned around and ran towards the direction of the sound, and their speed was surprisingly much faster for a moment.

After a short while, all the zombies on the street disappeared without a trace. Xu Feng cautiously came out of the thatched hut and looked in the direction he came from. The gray fog had swallowed up the two thatched huts on the edge of the village, and was only five or six meters away from him.

"Are you forcing me to go to the center of the village?" Xu Feng thought to himself, then he controlled the Taoist soldiers and continued to move forward along the village road.

This time, the village roads were empty, the doors of the surrounding thatched houses were open, and no monsters were seen.

But when Xu Feng arrived at the center of the village, he found that all the villagers had gathered in a small open space in the center of the village.

At this time, an altar more than three meters high was built on the open space. All the villagers who had turned into zombies knelt around the altar and kowtowed to it continuously.

Wisps of black mist continuously emanated from these kneeling zombie villagers and condensed towards the altar. At the very top of the altar, a skeleton as crystal-like as jade was sitting cross-legged on the altar. The black mist poured into the skeleton and quickly disappeared.

At this moment, the moonlight above was shining brightly, and the skeleton on the altar opened and closed its mouth, as if swallowing up the light from the moon that was cast onto the ground.

Looking at the skeleton in front of him whose entire skeleton had turned completely into jade, Xu Feng suddenly felt a piercing chill all over his body, as if he had seen a natural enemy, and his face changed drastically.

"The aura emanating from this guy is comparable to that of a second-level secret realm apostle. In this secret realm, he is definitely at the top of the combat power spectrum!"

"With my current strength, unless I can fully master all the talismans and draw talismans in the air, I will be qualified to fight him. Otherwise, if I rush forward rashly, I will simply die..."

Xu Feng's face turned ugly. Although he did not master any detection skills, with his many years of combat experience, he could still roughly judge the opponent's strength.

Judging from the performance of the surrounding zombie villagers, the white jade skeleton on the altar is obviously their leader. Xu Feng is no match for this white jade skeleton alone. Add to that the more than one hundred villager zombies, if Xu Feng dares to show up now, his only fate is to become one of them.

The light floating on the surface of the Taoist soldier beside him began to dim, and there was not much time left before the duration ended.

Xu Feng first hid in a thatched hut and locked the door, then controlled the Taoist soldiers to go in another direction and attack the white jade skull above the altar.

"Since the maintenance time is almost up, I might as well make use of the waste and test the strength of this white jade skeleton." Xu Feng said to himself.

The Taoist soldier was fearless. He stepped on the zombie bodies of the villagers, jumped high, and swung the steel knife in his hand, chopping towards the white jade skeleton.

The village zombies seemed to be very afraid of the white jade skull on the altar. Even if the Taoist soldiers stepped on them, they dared not move at all and knelt on the ground devoutly.

Break the evil! A flame-like spiritual light appeared on the Taoist's steel knife, and it chopped towards the white jade skull sitting cross-legged.

“Haha~”

The white jade skeleton opened its mouth and let out a low roar. A stream of white gas gushed out of its mouth. The surrounding temperature dropped by more than ten degrees in an instant. A trace of icicles suddenly appeared on the surface of the altar. Several villager zombies close to the altar were also frozen into a ball of ice.

Crack~ Facing the steel knife that was already chopping in front of him, the skeleton instantly stretched out his right hand and held the steel knife in his palm.

Hiss~ A black burn mark immediately appeared on the right palm of the white jade skull. At the same time, the coldness quickly infected the steel knife, making it crispy.

With a crisp sound, the steel knife in the Taoist soldier's hand was crushed into pieces by the white jade skull. At the same time, the white jade skull's left hand stabbed towards the Taoist soldier's chest.

Five finger bones as sharp as blades pierced through the chest, and a complete bony hand appeared on the back of the Taoist soldier.

This attack exhausted the last bit of spiritual energy in the Taoist soldier. Soon, the Taoist soldier turned into a paper doll again, hanging on the left arm of the white jade skull.

The white jade skull was stunned, and then the green flames in its eye sockets began to tremble continuously, as if it was enraged. With a slight shake of its left arm, the paper doll was instantly torn into pieces by a strong force.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

“Ah~”

The white jade skeleton stood on the altar, clenched its arms, raised them high in the air, and let out a heart-wrenching roar.

The villagers and zombies around the altar stood up as if they were whipped and ran in all directions. After a short while, only white skeletons were left standing on the altar.

Bang, bang~ There was a noise coming from the surrounding thatched huts, and it sounded like someone was rummaging through something. Xu Feng was startled. It seemed that the white jade skeleton seemed to have noticed that someone had broken into the village, and was ordering the villagers and zombies to search for traces.

Bang bang bang~ Xu Feng soon felt that someone was constantly banging on the wooden door outside the thatched hut where he was. Although it had been locked from the inside, with the impact force of the villagers and zombies, it would not take long for the wooden door of the thatched hut to be knocked open.

Xu Feng looked around. The thatched hut was empty. Apart from a pile of straw in the corner that served as a bed, there was only a wooden table, a few wooden stools, and a stove next to the window. There was no place to hide.

Click~ There was a crisp breaking sound from the door bolt. Xu Feng's mind moved, and his figure began to slowly disappear, completely blending into the darkness.

Hide!

The moment Xu Feng's body disappeared, two villager zombies broke through the wooden door and rushed in, starting to rummage around in the thatched hut, looking for traces of the enemy.
