The number of zombies appearing around us increased, and within moments, we were surrounded by about thirty zombies and ghoulies.
It was hard to imagine so many zombies and ghoulies appearing in this place.
Out in the open, even a single ghoulie would cause a huge stir and impact.
So many ghoulies and zombies here were just a small part of this corpse-breeding ground.
If all the zombies here were released, what a disaster that would be!
It now seemed that the Dao Alliance's information was incorrect, and significantly so.
The higher echelons of the Dao Alliance had severely underestimated the Black Demon Cult's strength...
"Roar!" the zombies shrieked, the ghoulies growled.
Their strained cries sent chills down everyone's spines.
Moreover, the sounds were growing louder, and if this continued, it would only attract more zombies.
We had to break through the encirclement immediately.
It wasn't just me who had thought of this; everyone else had as well.
At this moment, the yellow weasel demon, afflicted by the Soul-Breaking Talisman, suddenly spoke:
"To the front left, the front left has the fewest zombies; we can break through in that direction."
The yellow weasel demon's life was in our hands, and its cultivation was completely sealed.
It knew very well.
If we died, it would only be buried with us.
At this time, it could only hope that we would break through, and then fulfill its promise to let it go.
Upon hearing this, we all looked up towards the front left.
The area was shrouded in thick mist, and we could vaguely see one or two zombies jumping towards us.
As for whether that direction was a path to survival, no one knew.
But we had no other choice.
We could only choose to trust this yellow weasel demon one more time.
At this moment, my Martial Uncle suddenly called out:
"Everyone listen for my one, two, three, and charge towards the front left."
"Understood, Senior!"
"Alright, Senior!"
"..."
Everyone replied in unison.
Every second spent lingering here could attract another zombie.
Three.
Two.
One.
Charge!
My Martial Uncle shouted, and together with Aunt Yunxia, they charged directly towards the front left.
My Martial Uncle's broadsword hummed, and Aunt Yunxia moved with agile sharpness.
In an instant, they tore open a gap in the horde of corpses.
I protected the group, and said to Luo Fei and Xia Qiuxi, who were carrying Guan Xin, "Quick, you all go, Mo and I will cover the rear!"
"Be careful!"
Xia Qiuxi warned, protecting Luo Fei and Guan Xin as they followed.
Xu Han Chi, Yun Long, and Yun Hu also quickly followed.
Mo was to my left. At this moment, his face showed no fear whatsoever.
On the contrary, he was extremely excited, his eyes burning with fervor.
Facing the onslaught of corpses, his chuunibyo fire had reignited:
"Death is like the wind, always with me. Hasa-ge!"
Saying this, he went on a hacking spree against a ghoulie.
I kicked back a zombie, and seeing that everyone had retreated, I quickly said to the blood-crazed Mo, "Stop with the hasa-ge, hurry up..."
I waved my hand.
Mo then reluctantly retreated, turned, and followed.
Although there were many zombies, our Seventh Squad was not made of mud.
We were a relatively strong group.
Under the guidance of the old demon, we miraculously broke through the corpse encirclement.
Then, with all our might, we began to charge towards the outer perimeter of the corpse grounds.
Although scattered zombies still appeared around us, as long as we weren't surrounded, we could quickly get past them.
We didn't linger for any fights, only seeking to pass through the corpse grounds as quickly as possible.
Zombies were tough, with strong defenses and corpse poison.
However, in terms of speed, they couldn't match us.
At least, the white zombies couldn't catch up to us.
Within moments, we had completely outrun these zombies.
Maintaining our current speed, we would be able to leave this corpse ground in at most ten minutes.
The yellow weasel demon mentioned that these guarding zombies should not leave the corpse grounds.
At least, he had never seen them do so.
As we ran through the corpse area, Guan Xin continuously discerned the directions, roughly verifying the path the yellow weasel demon was leading us.
To prevent being tricked by this fellow, we had to guard against him.
At this point, we had run a considerable distance within the corpse grounds.
Just as we were about to leave the corpse area.
From the front, waves of corpse energy suddenly erupted.
The aura was powerful, hitting us head-on.
Everyone was stunned.
"Such strong corpse energy!"
"There must be a powerful zombie ahead!"
"This corpse energy is so heavy!"
"..."
Everyone exclaimed in shock, their eyes wide as they stared ahead.
At the same time, from the front, the sound of footsteps, "thump, thump, thump," suddenly rang out.
Each step was heavy.
Faintly, we saw a figure appear.
It was jumping towards us, with its hands raised.
It was a zombie.
"It's here!"
I narrowed my eyes and said.
The zombie's speed was very fast, covering five to six meters in a single jump.
In the blink of an eye, it came into view.
The zombie had half its body covered in red fur, its fangs directly exposed.
The corpse aura transformed into black smoke, constantly billowing outwards.
"Holy crap, it's a red zombie!"
"Good heavens! What am I seeing? It's a Red Fiend Zombie."
"This, this Black Demon Cult actually cultivated a Red Fiend Zombie."
"This, this should be called a Corpse King level, right?"
"..."
Everyone was filled with dread, their faces showing fear.
It wasn't their fault.
Zombies were rarely seen in the first place.
Let alone a zombie with half its body covered in red fur; even the appearance of a black zombie could wreak havoc in an area.
Back then, when my master, Mo, and I encountered the zombie couple.
That female zombie was one that was close to evolving into a red zombie.
Her strength was already terrifyingly abnormal, completely suppressing my master.
It was only later, when I used the Wu Chang Charm, that we finally achieved victory.
And now, the zombie before us had half its body covered in red fur.
That dense corpse energy indicated that its strength was likely far greater than that of the female zombie back then...
