After we clashed with the black-robed men, along with the people who initially attacked the valley and the group of young men using the eyebrow-high staff, at least a hundred people gathered on the scene. However, only a small number of people had seen the corpse, so most of them didn't understand what I was saying at first.
Seeing his companion, the young man with the Qi Mei stick, being knocked down by the charging corpse, rushed forward from behind and chopped the corpse in the forehead with his knife. Feeling the hard feedback and seeing the corpse's stiff face, he took a step back in horror: "What the hell is that thing?"
No one answered his question. Instead, two ghouls pounced on him and, with their immense strength, tore off his arms.
"ah!!!"
The man's heart-wrenching roar was like a heavy hammer, brutally striking everyone's heart.
Immediately afterwards, more skeletal remains rushed into the crowd.
Faced with these monsters with bodies of steel, even the strongest human strength seemed insignificant, and the group of people who approached the corpses were instantly knocked down.
Immediately afterwards, a thick plume of smoke drifted out from the woods and swept towards us.
Looking at the unrecognizable corpse in front of me and the sudden cloud of smoke, I yelled to the people around me, "This fog is poisonous! Everyone, get out of the way!"
Cao Xiong clearly knew about the Ping'an Village incident as well. Seeing the billowing smoke, he also curled his fingers and whistled.
Under the attack of the ghouls, the chaotic crowd was instantly scattered, and everyone began to turn and run away.
When Song Laosan saw us turn around, he also ran after us, saying, "These dried corpses are so fast, can we outrun them?"
"You don't need to run past them, just overtake the man in the black robes!"
I tossed a sentence to them, and out of the corner of my eye, I saw the men in black robes running away into the distance. No one was guarding the cave in the distance, so I hurried over.
"Duan Shenxing, are you crazy? What time is it? You're still thinking about going there!"
Jiang Man saw the direction I was moving and grabbed my wrist: "What if it's a dead end or there's no way out? You'll be dead!"
"I remember why I came here!"
I shook Jiang Man's wrist off and shouted to Xue Dong, "Protect her! Make sure she's safe!"
I shook off Jiang Man and then weaved through the crowd, quickly approaching the cave.
Cao Xiong saw me and pointed at me from afar, shouting, "Stop that kid! Activate the emergency plan and seal off the cave!"
Compared to us, the men in black robes were definitely more desperate. Several people near me heard Cao Xiong's roar and, completely ignoring the corpses rushing up from afar, charged at me with their knives.
At the same time, Manjing and Linque, who had arrived late, finally rushed to my side. Manjing, carrying a knife, blocked the four of them by himself: "Big brother, you go!"
Be careful.
I threw down a sentence and kept running forward.
Although Manjing managed to block a few of the men in black robes, even more people surrounded us, encircling Lin Que and me once again.
At this moment, I was less than fifteen meters away from the cave in a straight line, but the man in black robes blocked my way like a mountain. At the same time, someone rushed into the cave and threw out a fuse: "Prepare to detonate."
I saw those people preparing to blow up the cave entrance and let out an angry roar: "Lin Que, stay close to me!"
"Pfft!"
As soon as I finished speaking, I slashed at the chest of the person in front of me with my sword. However, because I rushed forward, I left myself wide open and was blocked by the other party.
At this moment, the people in black robes lit the fuse at the cave entrance, and then Song Laosan and Wei Shengnan led a large group of people over and once again mingled with the people in black robes.
I saw Jiang Man turn back, gritting her teeth as she said, "Didn't I tell you to leave? Why are you back?!"
"The men in black robes aren't useless cowards. Without our help, how would you have gotten in!"
Jiang Man kicked a man in black robes away, saying, "Time is limited, stop talking nonsense!"
"Walk!"
With the fuse lit, I didn't have time to say anything more and rushed towards the cave entrance.
At the cave entrance, a black-robed member guarding the fuse saw me approach, glared, and drew his pistol: "You little brat, you've really had enough of living!"
"Bang!"
Before the man could raise his gun, a rock smashed into his head, knocking him down. He then rushed out from the nearby slope.
When I saw Qu Ruilin and the others appear, it was like seeing a savior. I pointed at the sinister entrance of the cave and roared, "Extinguish the fuse!"
One of the men next to Qu Ruilin saw the fuse burning against the mountain wall into the cave and rushed over.
"call out!"
As the man ran, an arrow whistled past and pierced his chest.
Looking in the opposite direction from where the man had been shot, I saw that the people from Ping'an Village had already surrounded him, and several burly men dressed in coarse linen shirts had raised their longbows.
"Get out of the way!"
Seeing what those people were doing, I grabbed Jiang Man beside me and rushed into the cave.
After we entered the cave, the people outside, in order to avoid the rushing corpses and the people from Ping'an Village, had no choice but to rush into the cave, both willingly and unwillingly.
After I entered the cave, I found that several holes had been drilled into the left side of the cave wall, with detonators and explosives inserted inside, connected to strands of fuse. I raised my knife to chop.
"Xiao Duan, don't do it!"
Song Laosan rushed into the cave and grabbed my wrist: "The corpse is close by! If we don't blow up the entrance, we'll all be trapped inside. Everyone run inside!"
Faced with the impending explosion, the people in the cave disregarded their hostile relationship and all ran into the cave to save their lives.
The cave is spacious and long. Except for the entrance, which is illuminated by the sunlight, the inside is like a giant, dark mouth that seems to have no end.
"boom!"
I pulled Jiang Man and ran a short distance inside when suddenly a deafening roar came from behind us, and the ground beneath our feet began to shake.
Instinctively, I hugged Jiang Man into my arms, and then I was thrown off my feet by the shockwave.
"Cough cough!"
After the cave entrance collapsed, the cave was pitch black. I coughed repeatedly, choked by the smell of gunpowder and dust. I nudged Jiang Man in my arms and asked, "Xiao Man, are you alright? Are you okay?"
Jiang Man patted me and said, "I'm fine, how about you?"
"brush!"
Before we could finish speaking, a flashlight beam shone, illuminating the interior of the cave.
Not far in front of us, three men in black robes saw Jiang Man and me and immediately rushed at us with knives in hand.
