Witnessing the light in the eyes of the corpse that was grabbing his arm, Chen Jing's mind exploded.
Emotions, feelings, experiences—all these jumbled thoughts suddenly flooded Chen Jing's mind, turning his thoughts into a boiling stew, piercing through his mental defenses, and the extreme pain seemed to tear his soul apart, stabbing straight into the depths of his brain.
Just as Chen Jing's mind was about to be pierced, he felt the source of darkness within his mind, heart, or soul stir.
The thick, profound darkness, as if it were the source of everything, enveloped the piercing soul attack, instantly restoring Chen Jing's mind and leaving him unaffected.
Chen Jing only felt a moment of staggering dizziness before returning to normal, and the zombie that was grabbing his hand seemed to be stunned for a moment.
A sword blade swung out from Dao Nan's side, next to Chen Jing, slashing at the zombie's arm. The zombie instinctively pulled its hand back to dodge the attack, only to see that the slashing blade flew out of thin air, and there was no hand behind the hilt.
The sword blade appeared and disappeared abruptly, but it bought Chen Jing a lot of time, allowing him to wield his straight sword "Lonely City".
That wasn't Dao Nan's attack; he hadn't even realized it yet. It was Chen Jing's illusion!
With a whoosh, Gu Cheng tore open the zombie's body, creating a gash. Still not sure if it was safe, Chen Jing then slashed off the neck of the Meijing Dojo student's corpse with another sword strike.
At this moment, Dao Nan and Li Ai arrived from the flank. Dao Nan also took the opportunity to cut off the head of Mei Luoliang, who had already turned into a zombie, to prevent it from undergoing the same transformation: "What happened?"
"The corpse... the corpse has turned into a zombie again?" Li Ai asked, puzzled.
Mo Wuge, on the other hand, was very decisive and immediately took off running.
For him, wouldn't it be better to run and wait to die at this moment? That's Li Si, that's the "Priest," that's a spiritual cultivator in the Dan realm known for his defensive power!
Mo Wuge regretted that he was not decisive enough and not wise enough; he should have applied to stay at the rear of the team.
He didn't look back at what had happened to Chen Jing and the others. For Mo Wuge, survival was everything, and that was the greatest wisdom.
He saw it; he saw the passage he had come from, and he saw the strange corpse beside the passage.
Just as he was about to turn around, the corpse suddenly stood up.
Mo Wuge's pupils contracted, and he instinctively threw the torch away, his body fading as if to merge into the darkness.
Shadow Cloak!
Ta-da!
When Mo Wuge reappeared, he was already in the previous passage.
He casually tossed down the "three-flavor oil," and the flames of the oil formed a wall of fire, briefly hindering the turning zombie.
Regardless of the sounds behind him, as long as Mo Wuge ran through the long straight road, he could escape to a safe place and survive!
Mo Wuge even showed a joyful expression of escaping death.
It didn't kill me last time, and it didn't kill me this time either. This is God's test for me! What doesn't kill me only makes me stronger!
I am confident that I will be able to fully explore the Blood Realm Dao Traces through this experience. As long as I collect the spiritual energy sediment of the Core Realm, becoming a Core Realm combat cultivator will be just around the corner!
But soon, Mo Wuge's smile froze.
He saw that in the cells on both sides of the passage where zombies were imprisoned, one of the corpses crammed together suddenly opened its eyes.
Those eyes were indifferent and cold as they looked at Mo Wuge, their light flickering strangely.
...
Before He Lili and Zhang Taoying could react, the two corpses in front of the window had already turned into zombies and had their heads cut off.
Li Si was attacked and fell down, while Mo Wuge decisively fled.
Chen Jing's gaze passed over Li Si and looked into the distance. Beside the door they had come from, another corpse stood up and launched an attack on Mo Wuge.
What should we do? Attack him, or run away?
There was no time to calculate the gains and losses and the probabilities.
Just like a primitive man wielding a stone spear seeing a terrifying predator rushing towards him, instinct and reaction will make choices instead of reason.
Chen Jing saw Li Ai rush towards the corpse, her hands already transformed into beast claws.
No, that won't work, it's too slow.
Chen Jing pulled out his revolver and aimed it at the corpse.
Bang! Bang!
The same gunshot rang out from beside Chen Jing.
He Lili and he fired their guns at the same time.
No, He Lili was faster than Chen Jing. Just as the zombie's eyes were about to flash with light in the distance, her bullet arrived.
He Lili and the zombie moved like two dancers who knew each other well and had practiced for a long time; their movements were so synchronized and so perfect.
The bullets hit the zombie, interrupting its bizarre spell, which Li Ai was about to cast, allowing Li Ai to reach it.
The beast's claws tore and shredded it.
The zombie let out a painful roar, and Dao Nan rushed to its side, severing its head with his sword.
Before the group could rest or talk, screams of terror and despair came from the passage they had entered through.
That was Mo Wuge's voice.
Chen Jing suddenly realized something, and his expression changed drastically.
"Zombies," he growled. "Who knows how many zombies are lurking on both sides of the passage!"
Before Li Ai could react, Dao Nan grabbed her and ran back.
"Damn it!" Dao Nan cursed.
“We might have been tricked.” Reaching the window frame, He Lili said urgently, “I was wondering why it had turned into a wandering spirit. Logically, a corpse that’s been dead for a long time should still be able to communicate with spirits…”
"This is a trap. Something, or some being, is trying to lure us in and then destroy us!"
Chen Jing immediately looked towards the long ladder leading down from the window.
But before he could act, he remembered Li Si lying on the ground!
