Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Tide of Corpses
readx;
Escaping from the pit, I found that my surroundings had changed a lot. The gravel pile www.biquge.info Pen & Fun & Pavilion was gone, and it was directly razed to the ground, and the ground was sunken downwards to form a large pit. The gravel in the pit was crushed into powder.
The surrounding sarcophagi were also gone, and they were all moved to a distance, piled up in a haphazard manner. What's even more terrifying is that the entire dungeon is illuminated in blood red. And the glow was actually a giant tree, and the huge body of the tree emitted a strange red light.
My eyes finally fell on the sarcophagus, and the sound of fingernails scraping the slabs seemed to echo in my ears. Obviously, the body in the coffin must have come back to life, but I didn't see a single zombie when I scanned around.
"Don't look, run!" shouted Gray.
I glanced back out of the corner of my eye, and a silvery white pillar of light rose into the sky. There were also silver particles in the pillar of light, shining like stars in the sky. The silver light was so bright that even the blood-red background was much darker.
Princess Chu roared angrily: "Long-haired monkey, do you think you can trap me like this?"
Lucas said calmly, "You are strong, my strength is not enough to trap you." But at the cost of burning my soul, I can buy them precious time!"
"Hmph! You're too naΓ―ve! I'm going to let them die, no one can live!" Princess Chu had words in her mouth, her tone was obscure, and there was a certain rhyme. I don't understand what she's going to do, but it's certainly not a good thing.
I understood what the missionary said, and after this last resort, it completely disappeared. His soul stayed here after his death, probably because he was afraid that Princess Chu would kill Gu Yue again. Putting aside his identity, he really loves Gu Yue.
Gu Yue probably also understood that this farewell was goodbye, and from then on, he would never see the missionary again. Her fierce struggle and resistance caused us to be very slow. After walking not far, Princess Chu's incantation was finished.
The tomb was already quiet, but in an instant, all sounds disappeared, and it was as quiet as death.
I subconsciously glanced back, the silver pillar of light did not weaken, and Princess Chu did not catch up
"Don't look, let's go, we still have a long way to go!" the missionary said, presumably the area covered by the roots of the tree. As long as we reach a place where there are no roots, Princess Chu will not be able to catch up.
It's been about a day since I entered the ancient tomb, and I basically haven't rested, and my stomach is already empty. There are still injuries in the body, and the body has long reached the limit, and it can only be supported by consciousness. As long as you go one more step forward, you have one more chance of survival.
Gu Yue knew that we would not let her go, and after tossing for a while, she was also tired, and she cried quietly. Tears flowed down my cheeks, and listening to her cry of pain made me feel uncomfortable.
Gray reminded, "Be careful, there's a sarcophagus ahead." β
I looked forward, and the sarcophagus were stacked on top of each other, with only a path in the middle for only one person to walk. Even if the road conditions are bad, the sarcophagus is blocking the road. I'm more worried that the guy in the sarcophagus will pop out of nowhere.
Basically all the sarcophagi had been opened, and I stood on tiptoe and looked inside, and the coffin was empty!
In our current situation, not a single zombie can deal with it. These coffins in front of them, to say the least, must have more than a hundred zombies. I whispered to Gray, "Let's go the other way, it's too risky to take the path." If you are caught between the front and back, it is a dilemma. β
"Walk!" Gray agreed, and although the detour would take a little longer, it was less likely to encounter zombies.
We turned around and left, and I glanced into the distance, and the silver pillar of light showed no signs of abating, and it probably lasted a while.
Gu Yue stared blankly at the pillar of light, tears pouring out. I wanted to comfort her, but I knew what to do.
One of the most painful things in the world is to watch someone you love die and be powerless.
We hadn't taken a few steps before a sigh came from behind us.
"Alas!"
Gray said with disdain: "What's the matter, it was you who proposed to go a long way, and you only walked a few steps, why did you sigh with a sigh." β
"Not me!" I said quickly.
"Cut, it's just you and me here, Gu Yue can't speak. If it's not you and me, can it still be a ghost!"
As soon as the words came out, Gray was stunned. There were footsteps behind us, not a single person's footsteps.
Rustling...... Rustling......
I looked back and saw a large swarm of zombies emerging from behind the coffin. This place is very yin, and the corpses are basically not decomposed. A pair of blood-red eyes, glowing red, moved towards us.
Judging by their clothing, these zombies have everything. Glancing, I saw peasants in coarse cloth clothes, warriors in armor, and even women and children. I can't figure it out, why did Princess Chu give these people to death?
Zombies move very slowly, and we take a few quick steps to leave them behind. But zombies kept popping up from the coffins on both sides. Princess Chu woke up all the corpses at once.
"I'm rubbing!!," Gray cursed loudly.
At first, there were only a dozen corpses, but by now there were hundreds
γ A tide of corpses was formed, swaying behind us. As soon as I turned around, I could see dense red eyes.
I don't have a phobia of intensity, but I'm about to get a phobia of density from the eyes of a corpse.
The expression on Gray's face became more and more serious, and he couldn't hold it back, and asked, "What is the range of movement of these zombies?"
"This ...... It's huge!" I think zombies are definitely not limited by the range of tree roots, and will always follow us.
Gray said in annoyance, "Why did I throw the gun away? β
"Don't talk, hurry up!" I noticed a problem, the speed of the zombies' movement is also increasing, and the distance between us is constantly decreasing. The zombie has just woken up and is not quite used to it, so it is slow. It's getting used to it.
Gray gritted his teeth and said, "It's coming!"
My forehead was covered with beads of sweat, Gray gasped, and we gritted our teeth to the intersection. As a result, a large group of zombies also popped up over there.
"I'll go!" shouted Gray.
Zombies have blocked all paths, and what's even more terrifying is that these zombies are still changing. A few of the first group of zombies chasing us had a layer of fluff on their bodies, black, white, and green, and his uncle directly became the best among the zombies.
Well, basically all types of zombies are available, white murderers, green-breasted zombies, black murderers, and even very rare red-haired zombies. It's a zombie expo.
These people were given death by the princess of Chu and were resentful. For as many as two thousand years, the corpse was nourished by the yin qi and earth qi, and was witchcraft by the princess of Chu and turned into the best zombie. When they're fully awake, we won't be able to run at all.
Gray was probably mad and shouted, "You can't buy and suffer, you can't be fooled." As long as ninety-nine-eight, the best zombie to take home! Buy more and get more, buy all five-color zombies, and have the opportunity to summon a little dragon to fulfill your wish. β
In this situation, you will definitely not be able to get out of the situation. Time is running out, and only people who are familiar with the situation here are likely to take us out.
I yelled at Gu Yue, who was still in a daze, "Wake up, don't be in a daze anymore! I know you're in a lot of pain right now! But at the cost of his soul, he just wants you to live." Do you want him to die without a blind eye?"
Gu Yue closed her eyes, and a huge tear rolled down her cheek.
"That pillar of light is him, he's watching you! Do you want him to die for nothing?" I continued.
Gu Yue's expression was painful, but she raised her hand and pointed us in a direction.
"Don't be crazy, let's go!" I slapped Gray and ran away with Gu Yue.
Nearly a quarter of an hour passed, and the brightness of the silver pillar of light began to wane. The blood-red glow emitted by the giant tree was in full bloom. There were more zombies chasing after us, half of their bodies growing fluff.
There are too many zombies, and there may be the best of the best zombies, flying zombies!
We are in a race against death and time, and Gu Yue shows us the direction and takes a lot of detours. But there is still no way to shake off the zombies behind him.
A dozen furry zombies overtook the corpses and pounced on us at great speed.
