Especially after I slew the Black Fiend Zombie before me.
The surrounding mountains and forests suddenly became restless.
One after another, roars echoed out.
The "wuwuwu" sounds of howling kept coming, drawing closer to us.
Listening to the low growls surrounding us, both Master and I understood that these approaching zombies were likely not just one or two, but many.
But Master didn't move, and I wasn't backing down.
Since I chose this path, I had to be unafraid of danger.
If Master didn't say to leave, I wouldn't retreat.
Master saw that I didn't ask anything, just stood quietly beside him.
His expression was solemn, yet a hint of relief was visible.
After all, our profession was inherently dangerous.
While caution was necessary, the greatest vice was timidity and fear of trouble.
Now, facing a formidable enemy, I stood firm, truly possessing the aura of someone capable of great things.
This made Master quite pleased.
"Little Qin, there might be a fierce battle ahead.
You must be extremely careful."
Master looked into the dim mountain forest and spoke to me.
I nodded:
"Master, rest assured, I will take care of myself.
And I have the Wuchang Charm for protection; I won't be a burden to you."
Master smiled without saying anything.
Before us, figures had already appeared.
Along with the sounds of "peng peng peng" hopping steps.
I squinted and saw three zombies suddenly leap out from the nearby forest.
Each one had a pale face, vacant eyes, and bared fangs.
All were wearing reflective vests.
Two of them were even wearing red hard hats from construction sites.
It was obvious these were missing construction workers.
They must have been bitten by zombies and, due to the corpse poison, had now turned into zombies themselves.
With the appearance of these three zombies.
Behind them, seven or eight more zombies gradually leaped out.
All of them jumped out from between the trees.
Each one held its arms out.
Hopping forward, howling "wuwuwu" from their mouths.
Judging by their appearance, most of them were workers from the construction site.
Zombies like these, transformed after being bitten, were the lowest level of zombies, known as Walking Corpses.
Although numerous, with Master here, it wouldn't be difficult to handle.
The only issue was.
Among this group of zombies, there was one, like the Black Fiend Zombie, wearing Qing Dynasty official attire.
Her face was dark, her body covered in black hair, and even had a slight reddish hue.
From her appearance, her hair was slightly reddish.
This indicated that this female zombie was beginning to advance.
About to step into the Red Fiend Zombie stage.
Her strength was definitely greater than the Black Fiend Zombie we just faced...
"Master, there's a female zombie with reddish hair."
I said with a bit of surprise.
We had already put in considerable effort to deal with one Black Fiend.
Now, with an even stronger one appearing, and so many Walking Corpses.
This might be difficult to handle.
Master's expression was serious, and he spoke directly:
"Don't panic, I'll deal with this female zombie.
Little Qin, you hide within this Big Dipper formation.
Use the ink-rope walls here to hold off these Walking Corpses.
You should be able to manage for a short while.
Once I'm done with this female zombie, I'll quickly come to your aid."
Master quickly arranged the plan.
I nodded:
"Alright, but Master, you must be careful!"
"Mmm! You be careful too."
Master nodded and replied.
He then directly rushed out of the Big Dipper formation and headed straight for the female zombie.
I quickly followed, preparing to draw the attention of the Walking Corpses.
Master charged ahead, moving swiftly.
In a blink, he encountered a Walking Corpse.
The Walking Corpse had a ferocious face, revealing two fangs, and lunged to bite Master.
For these lowest-level Fiend Corpses.
They possessed nothing but the urge to devour.
But Master's cultivation was far beyond what these Walking Corpses could harm.
Master let out a cold snort and slapped a talisman forward.
He simultaneously pushed the Walking Corpse back.
Before the Walking Corpse could stabilize, Master formed a sword finger and roared:
"Shattering Fiend Talisman; Swiftly as the Law Commands, Shatter!"
The talisman slapped onto the Walking Corpse's head suddenly flashed with yellow light.
With a "bang" explosion.
The Walking Corpse's head instantly exploded into pieces, with black blood gushing out.
Without even a cry, it fell to the ground dead.
At the same time, the female Black Fiend Zombie had also leaped over.
Her pair of red eyes flickered with furious gazes.
She let out a few roars at Master and pounced.
Master, holding his peach wood sword, thrust it forward.
But when it struck the female zombie, it only produced sounds like hitting metal.
Meanwhile, I was directly facing the Walking Corpses.
"Come on, all of you, bite me! I'm talking to you!"
As I spoke, I provocatively threw a stone at a Walking Corpse that was about to attack my Master.
Soon, I had attracted the attention of the nine Walking Corpses around me.
These Walking Corpses looked at me with excited and bloodthirsty eyes.
Continuously howling "wuwuwu".
Raising their zombie claws, they lunged towards me.
I wasn't foolish; although Walking Corpses were weak,
If I were surrounded by them, I'd be done for.
While drawing the attention of these Walking Corpses, I lured them into the Big Dipper formation.
These Walking Corpses only made silly "wuwu" noises, and seeing me run, they gave chase.
Using my speed advantage, I maintained a safe distance from them.
They always felt like they could catch me, but always fell short.
Under these circumstances, I successfully lured these Walking Corpses into the Big Dipper formation.
I didn't have Master's skills to control the formation.
However, within the formation, there were ink-rope walls.
As long as I utilized these ink-rope walls and engaged in hit-and-run tactics,
Even facing nine Walking Corpses alone, I was confident I could outlast them all...
