I'm not stupid at all. This move is called Ming repair Zhangdao hides troops and resources in Chen Cang. Did I really think that I could pierce the zombie's skin with just a needle on the clothes? The zombie must know its weakness at the forehead, so it would pay extra attention to the safety of that area. Anything that could threaten it would attract its attention. I spoke and acted so openly just to attract the zombie's attention. Let it think that I would use a slingshot to shoot its forehead. Of course, this was false, but the effect was excellent!
The fat guy grasped the three-sided spike I had thrown, and decisively stabbed it into the zombie's forehead. The hardness of the three-sided spike combined with the fat guy's strength pierced through the zombie's head in an instant. A terrible black air gushed out from its forehead, like a burst balloon!
"Ah!"
The zombie howled in pain, trying to pull out the spike on its forehead. But the fat guy wouldn't give it a chance.
In the last dozen seconds, the fat guy launched a relentless attack on the zombie. The zombie, who had exhausted its gloom, was shattered by the fat guy, and when the fat guy's divine strike ended. Sitting on the ground panting, there was only one intact head on the zombie.
Arms were broken in six or seven sections, the body was riddled with terrifying gaping holes, as though it had been raked by a machine gun.
The flames disappeared eerily at this moment. The ground was left charred. The fat guy sat on the ground, panting. I dragged my wounded body, picked up the almost-broken blackened beast bone dagger, and walked step by step towards the zombie.
It looked at me with slanted eyes, full of terrible resentment.
"You're still immortal? You immo***l!"
I kicked its head wildly, then couldn't help but curse several times.
"Mortal..."
Its voice was cold, but it seemed almost unable to speak.
"Tell me, what's in this box?"
I took out the stone box that I had been carrying with me and asked.
"Zhongtianmen... won't... let you go..."
The last trace of black air dissipated, and this guy closed its eyes for good. I waited for a while to make sure it wasn't pretending before pulling out the trident. There was a hole in the head. I picked up the zombie's head, turned around and shouted, "Brother Zhu, is this guy's head valuable?"
Zhu stared at me blankly. At that urgent and dangerous moment just now, I could still come up with a plan, which made Zhu feel incredibly incredulous.
He stared at me and said after a long while, "Valuable, zombies are treasures for us, its head must be valuable."
"Haha, that's good, at least we got something. You guys take a rest, I..."
"I just smiled. Although my head was still clear, my body couldn't take it and I fell to the ground. Shen Mengtian hurried over and saw my pants covered in blood, quickly using a handkerchief and some scraps of cloth for a simple first-aid.
"Let's go quickly, otherwise your wound could get infected, and there's too much bleeding right now. You could die," Shen Mengtian said with concern.
"Yeah, let's rest for a bit and then go. Let's see if there's a way out."
We didn't plan to continue climbing up to the palace above, now that everyone was injured, it was better to get back to the ground. Luo Yong began to survey the surroundings, and after a while, he came back and said, "There's a draft here, which means there must be a way out, but I haven't found it yet. I think it's best to go back and find a way out from where we came."
After an hour of preparation, everyone was ready to leave. Fatty carried me on his back, Luo Yong led the way, and Zhu Zi took the rear.
The mudfish school was gone, but that didn't mean they wouldn't appear. We carefully made our way back to the hole where I had fallen before. Since we couldn't climb up, we had to take the other path.
"Since these pale-faced monsters can come down, it means there must be other ways here, we will definitely find it," Shen Mengtian said, intentionally speaking to comfort everyone. But it wasn't entirely unreasonable – if we could capture one of those monsters, or track one, maybe we could find a way out.
After wandering underground for a while, we ended up back at the iron gate. But now, at this moment, there were other people inside! As we approached the gate, we could hear voices from inside.
I gestured for everyone not to go in, then stood at the door and listened inside.
"How did the Corpse Witch die?" This voice sounded familiar, like Dai An's.
"Could it be that Bas Shan's group took her out?"
After hearing the second sentence of this voice, I could almost be certain it was Dai An's voice.
"Bas Shan? He's not capable of that, but it might have been helped by Zhu Zi. Go find the Corpse Witch's head, its skull is quite valuable."
The person giving orders to Dai An must be Yu Gu. These two had actually appeared underground. Weren't they supposed to go to the two levels above the palace?
"Boss, we didn't find her. The body was all over the place. Definitely taken by them, damn, too late. But it's okay. We got a lot of treasures from the upper levels this time, not returning empty-handed."
Hearing Dai An say this, I analyzed that the Corpse Witch and the pale-faced monsters were basically attracted by us. That meant Dai An and Yu Gu could have a peaceful exploration without monster attacks for a long time. They must have found treasures from the upper levels and now returned to explore underground. In other words, they must have a way to come down from the upper level. That means they know the way out!
I waved to signal everyone not to make a sound. If they really knew the way out, we could follow them until we left.
But at this moment, there was suddenly a sound of footsteps from behind. Luo Yong listened and then turned around and said, "It should be five or six people, probably pale-faced monsters."
The leader of the pale-faced monsters had left with his men. Obviously, they did not run into Dai An and Yu Gu, and now they returned just in time, along with the killing of the Corpse Witch, these monsters would definitely have a big battle with Dai An and Yu Gu. We could still reap the benefits!
Although we had been used by them and made cannon fodder, at this moment, I could use them. On the road, you have to be lucky to be bold!
I gestured for everyone to retreat. We hid in the dark not far away, and soon, five pale-faced monsters followed the burly leader and charged towards the iron gate. After a while, there was an intense shout from inside.
"We got it!"
The fat guy said with a smile.
"Let's go see whether Gu Yu is alive or dead. It doesn't matter if Gu Yu dies, but Dai An must not die."
Compared to Gu Yu, Dai An is easier to control and more easily manipulated. If Gu Yu is killed, and if we save Dai An instead, perhaps Dai An could help us escape.
Hiding behind the door, I took a peek inside and saw that Dai An and Gu Yu were already under attack from the pale-faced monsters.
Dai An was clearly injured, but Gu Yu was skilled, and with one move, he killed two of the pale-faced monsters in a row.
"Damn, this is fierce!"
The fat guy said in a low voice.
Gu Yu's machete was unstoppable, and for a while, the pale-faced monsters couldn't do anything to him. This couldn't continue - if all the pale-faced monsters were killed and Gu Yu and Dai An were unharmed, how could we negotiate with them? At this critical moment, I decided to help the pale-faced monsters.
Once again, I raised the slingshot, pulled back a stone, aimed at Dai An, who was approaching me, and shot. The stone hit Dai An's shoulder, with little force, but someone like Dai An, with his reflexes, immediately felt the impact on his back and turned around, only to find no one behind him. He was then bitten fiercely by one of the pale-faced monsters.
"Boss, I've been bitten, help me!"
Dai An shouted.
Gu Yu rushed over with the machete to help, but was caught off guard and injured by the leader of the pale-faced monsters from behind, blood flowing.
"Good!"
The fat guy chuckled.
I nodded; the situation was now balanced. We would wait for the right moment, until Gu Yu and the others were seriously injured, to negotiate.
"You're really sneaky."
Zhuo looked at me, somewhat surprised.
"Comrade Lei Feng once said, 'Be warm as spring to your friends and ruthless as the autumn wind to your enemies.' This saying suits me very well; that's the kind of person I am!"
I smiled in response, although the smile looked very sinister.
