Chapter 58 The Masses Trapped
The story told by the dragon named Ajin deeply moved Xiaobai, who nodded without hesitation and said, "I'm willing to help you with this, and I don't want any gifts from you. I just want you to take us away from here."
"Okay, thank you so much!" The phantom of Ah Jin in a bright red wedding dress vanished instantly.
At the same time, Qiansi transmitted a message through her consciousness that the isolation barrier had disappeared.
Xiao Bai and Bo exchanged a glance, and before the zombies could realize that the barrier had disappeared, they rushed to the roof and attacked Gu Qituo, who was perched on the chandelier.
While the thousand strands of vines bound him, Xiaobai's ice seal also imprisoned him.
Seeing his leader under attack, Snow roared and pounced on the two of them. Dozens of high-level zombies also surrounded them and began to attack.
Xiao Bai unleashed his "Snowflakes Everywhere" skill, which is an area-of-effect attack. Although its damage isn't particularly high, it can still injure zombies below level seven.
Apart from Snow, the S-rank zombie king, the rest of the high-ranking zombies were temporarily trapped by Snowflake.
Bo Yiyan raised his hand, intending to use the thousand strands of vines to trap Snow, but Gu Qituo had already struggled and fallen to the ground from the chandelier.
He disregarded his humanoid ice sculpture form and immediately smashed the heads of several low-level zombies, then used his mental power to cut through the ice covering his mouth and nose.
He yelled at Snow, "The vines are poisonous! Don't let them get near us!"
He could afford to lose low-level zombie minions, but he only had one zombie king minion like Snow, and he couldn't afford to lose him here no matter what.
Upon hearing this, Snow spewed out a dozen small fireballs, surrounding his body, and any vines that came near him were burned to ashes.
Taking advantage of the opportunity while Bo Yiyan was holding them back, Xiao Bai instantly teleported to the huge lotus chandelier.
He reached out and grabbed three adjacent lotus stamens, intending to pull them off, when Bo shouted, "Little Bai, stop! The lotus stamens are poisonous!"
Xiao Bai instantly withdrew her hand, first using a barrier to protect herself, and then freezing the entire lotus chandelier.
Next, he conjured an ice sword and with a few swift strokes, sliced the stone slab at the top of the chandelier to the top, creating a one-meter square cut.
The stone slab and the chandelier fell together, and he took the opportunity to put both the stone slab and the chandelier into his spatial storage.
Meanwhile, Bo Yiyan was cornered by the two zombie kings.
Xiao Bai leaped to his side, grabbed his arm, and teleported towards the square hole that had just been cut open.
However, when they approached the top of the tomb chamber, they were blocked by an invisible barrier, and the two fell back to the ground.
Xiao Bai was so focused on Bo Yiyan's safety that he didn't notice that no seawater was flowing into the cut hole.
As soon as the two landed, Gu Qituo commanded the high-level zombies to attack them again, but Bo Yiyan shouted: "Stop! Let's stop fighting for now. I have a very important secret to tell you!"
"Humans are the most cunning; don't try anything funny!" Gu Qituo said.
"You think you can easily take us down? I'm a master of poisons. If you piss me off, believe me, I'll fill the entire tomb with corrosive poisonous fog. Then, apart from you two zombie kings, all your other underlings will die!"
Bo Yiyan pretended to grasp a spatial button, and Gu Qituo quickly said, "No, no, what do you want to say? I'm listening!"
"As you all saw just now, this tomb chamber has been sealed off by an invisible barrier, otherwise we would have teleported away long ago," Bo Yi said.
Unconvinced, Gu Qituo tried to probe the tomb with his spiritual power, and sure enough, he encountered an obstacle on the outside of the tomb wall.
He then ordered one of his men to open the exit of the tomb, only to find that the mechanism had also malfunctioned. His expression immediately turned grim.
“Why is this happening? Before, apart from the barrier around the coffin, everything else in this tomb was normal,” Gu Qituo said.
"Can you tell me how you discovered this tomb?" Bo Yiyan asked.
"Why should I tell you this?" Gu Qituo said irritably.
“I suspect this tomb holds a huge conspiracy, but I need enough clues to prove it,” Bo Yiyan said seriously.
"Hmph! You're afraid of starving to death here, aren't you? We're zombies, we won't die even if we're trapped here for a year or two, but you two humans can't stand being hungry," Gu Qituo said gloatingly.
“As far as I know, zombies also can’t resist hunger. If this goes on for too long, you two zombie kings will only be able to devour the crystal cores of your own kind. You might even end up killing each other,” Bo Yiyan said with a smile.
"You!" Gu Qituo was speechless with anger.
“Our common enemy is the owner of this tomb. Now is not the time to fight. Hurry up and tell us everything you know,” Bo said impatiently.
"A few years ago, when I was only at the fifth level, I was chasing a sea beast in the shallow sea when I accidentally saw this area of the sea flashing red light."
When I released my spiritual power, I sensed that this underwater coral reef had a rich energy. Every zombie that had developed intelligence had an extremely strong desire for energy.
Therefore, I used my mental power to control a low-level sea beast and found this place.
Then I discovered that a dragon-shaped coral reef at the bottom was emitting wisps of energy. After stepping on it, I was sucked into the tomb.
I found some energy stones embedded in the stone pillars on both sides of the tomb. After absorbing them, my level increased rapidly.
Then I found the diagram of the mechanism for entering and exiting the tomb chamber on one of the stone pillars. After studying it for a while, I was able to freely enter and exit the tomb chamber.
Later, as my level increased, I felt I should leave myself some options, so I hid Snow and these dozens of high-level minions here.
"If you hadn't gone too far today, I wouldn't have triggered the mechanism and brought you into this tomb chamber," Gu Qituo said.
