Chapter 43: Escape (4)

"Hurry now!" Faust didn't look at the reaction of the others, and took the lead in turning the corner and running towards the exit.

According to Professor Pacian's guidance, after passing the corner, you can reach the exit by walking straight along this tunnel, and you can say that Faust and the others can get out of danger without turning in the meantime.

But the heavens didn't seem to be going to let Faust go with that: as soon as Faust turned the corner, the sight stopped him in his tracks—another group of zombies, staggering in front of them, and judging by the number of zombies, there were only a few more zombies than they had encountered before.

However, the nitro-blown zombie could not stop Faust, and once again he manifested the psionic power of the "astral form", causing himself to stick to the ceiling and slowly float over the heads of the soldiers.

He didn't forget to remind the few people who caught up behind him, "Be careful, there are zombies when you turn the corner!"

The big guys Gaunt and Reinhardt consciously broke off, letting Professor Pacien, who lacked the ability to resist, Annabella, and the old toad Hama go first, but this time they fell into an encirclement, and several spellcasters who temporarily lost the ability to resist will face the claws of zombies.

Faust's psychic power had been consumed a lot, and he still had to maintain his astral form until he left the tunnel, and there was not much real help he could provide, so he began to shout for support: "Gaunt, Reinhardt, come here to protect the others!

Reinhardt and Gaunt had already had a tacit understanding, he knew that Gaunt was neither agile nor flexible, and the best person to return now was himself, so he turned around and ran to the front of the group.

Gaunt didn't look back at Reinhardt, but only increased the frequency of his axe, slashing the zombies and backing away.

The whole team returned to the scene they had just seen when they were surrounded by zombies, and everyone fought and retreated, slowly but surely walking towards the exit.

Without the support of the casters, and having to fight the enemy alone, the pressure on Gaunt and Reinhardt has increased a lot in an instant, and even some of the zombies' claws have already caused damage to them.

The claws of the zombies were full of corrosive power, and the slightest touch of it would cause a large area of skin to fester, and Reinhardt was scratched four or five times, and at least a quarter of the skin on the surface of his body turned blue-black and leaked yellow pus.

Gaunt's body was much larger than Reinhardt's, but it was also correspondingly more difficult to defend, even more tragic than Reinhardt's appearance, his arms and chest were almost blue-black, and even his face was already covered with a dull color.

"Old Hama, give Gaunt some positive energy—preferably some real magic for him, he's done!" Faust consciously assumed the role of conductor.

This time, Old Hama held back for a long time, and a wisp of white mist floated out of his palm, wrapping around Gaunt's body, "No...... No, this is the last divine power. ”

"Stabilization? Not bad. Faust nodded, and then shouted at Gaunt, "Can you hold on?" I can get Reinhardt to help you, and I can hold out for a while." ”

Gaunt was panting like a bull, and it took him a long time to answer Faust's question: "I'm all right!

Faust didn't really care about Gaunt's safety, he cared more about whether Gaunt could take on the task of breaking off. He observed for a while, and found that after Gaunt was blessed by divine magic, his injuries did not pose a threat for the time being, and his axe-wielding hands were still steady, and he was still a qualified severance officer for the time being, so he acquiesced to Gaunt's arrangement.

He looked at Reinhardt who was opening the way at the front of the team, Reinhardt did a good job except for a bit of a scramble at the beginning, and after getting familiar with fighting zombies alone, his record began to improve, and he didn't add more scars to his body, but the speed of progress was not very fast.

Faust saw that there was no big problem for the time being, so he lifted Kuaza's body with two tentacles, pressed his back against the ceiling, and slowly glided forward.

As the crowd fought, the light at the entrance of the cave could almost be seen in front of them, and Faust's heart settled down, and he even began to think about what would happen after he went out.

"Boom...... Gurgling......" The strange sound made Faust's settled heart hang again—it was the sound of the ice breaking.

"You...... You guys, p...... Can't run. "There was a dry voice behind him, it was a corpse witch!

"Bear!" A large purple-black flame suddenly erupted from the corner, and as soon as the several zombies swaying around it touched the spark, they burst into flames, and the flames seemed to be full of nutrients, not only soaring three points higher, but even the color was developing more and more towards black.

The corpse witch rose from the flames and slowly chased after Faust and the others.

Its robes had been completely reduced to ashes, and its body was even more miserable - its skull had been completely lifted, the flames erupting from it were pure black, and only one arm was left intact, the other hand was missing, and its legs were completely broken at the knees.

However, the Corpse Witch did not appear embarrassed, on the contrary, it seemed more noble and powerful than ever—purple-black demonic fire wrapped around his body like a flying ornate robe, and the pure black flames erupting from his skull were the most luxurious crown.

Now, he is like the king in this tomb. He flew all the way along, and the zombies stopped attacking, bending their stiff knees in worship at their king.

But the king of the necromancers did not appreciate it, and wherever he passed, the flames ignited on the zombies, and the zombies that served as fuel did not dare to move at such times, and burned to ashes.

"You all have to die. "The witch had a big hole in its throat, and its shriveled vocal cords were probably as detached as its limbs, but it was still able to speak, and its voice became like a flame burning, like a slowly flowing magma, and just hearing it made people feel a great sense of crisis.

"Ahhhh

Faust's love of battle is limited to "winning over others", and he is not interested in this kind of strong man who cannot be defeated at first glance. So, he looked around at the surrounding circle of kneeling zombies and shouted: "While the zombies don't move, let's run!"

Once again, he was the first to escape, like a great slug, across the ceiling and heading towards the exit, and old Hama was the quickest at this time, starting almost at the same time as Faust, but with good intentions, he patted Annabella and Professor Pacian to remind them to run, and was half a step slower than Faust.

Reinhardt turned back to Gaunt and shouted, "Gaunt, let's go!"

"Let's go, don't think about leaving!" the corpse witch waved his remaining arm, and the purple-black flames burning around him shot towards everyone as if they had come to life.

Gaunt took two steps back and stood with Reinhardt, who looked very calm, "Reinhardt, help me take care of Jebido when I get out...... No, if I leave him the money I saved, he won't have to do it anymore, you just let him remember to sweep his grandmother's grave. ”

Reinhardt knew that Gaunt and Jebido were orphans who had been adopted by an old grandmother since childhood, but he didn't understand why Gaunt was saying this now, "What are you talking about......?

Without waiting for Reinhardt to finish, Gaunt grabbed him by the collar and threw him in the direction of the exit, "Don't forget my words!"

"Gaunt!" Reinhardt let out a heart-rending shout.
